Chapter 12471 Su Wujiu
Chapter 12471 Su Wujiu
Emperor Jinyu said, "Is that so? Hmm, I also have someone under my command, a genius from the Qiuming family of the Rainbow Rain Realm, named Su Wujiu."
"Ye Chen, if you need help, I can ask Su Wujiu to accompany you."
"Hehe, he's very powerful. I'm even planning to let him inherit your final authority if you die."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
It turns out that Emperor Jinyu had already planned his escape route and intended to find someone to replace him.
Was there no fault in the past?
A genius from the Qiu Ming family of the Rainbow Rain Realm?
Ye Chen knew that there were four major families in the Rainbow Rain Realm: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
This Su Wujiu is definitely not simple; he was chosen by Emperor Jinyu.
"No need, Your Majesty, my master's wife and I will go."
Ye Chen politely declined, but secretly kept the name Su Wujiu in mind.
The Golden Feather Emperor said lazily, "Alright, whatever you want, just be careful."
"This half-page of sacred text is now entrusted to you."
"Such a valuable item is not something I'm lending you without a price."
"I need your help with something."
He glanced longingly at the Sacred Book of Heaven and handed the brocade box containing the pages to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen took the brocade box and asked, "What is it? If you want to force my master's wife, you absolutely cannot."
Emperor Jinyu chuckled dryly, glancing at the Heavenly Mother. Deep in his eyes, there was still a hint of greed and hunger, but he also knew that it was absolutely impossible to force himself on her now, as the Heavenly Mother was no pushover.
"We'll talk about my relationship with your teacher's wife later."
Emperor Jinyu waved his hand, then said seriously,
"What I want is the other half of the sacred text."
Ye Chen asked, "The other half of the page?"
Emperor Jinyu said, "Yes, the Sacred Book was destroyed back then, but one page remained. I only got half a page. The other half is in the ruins of the Land of No Worries."
"The Sacred Book of Heavenly Words is also called the Sacred Prohibitions. It contains the sacred words and divine pronouncements of the Heavenly Sage. This book is a forbidden book, and both the Primordial Era and the Abyss consider it taboo. Some of the principles contained in it are enough to overturn the pattern of the Yin-Yang Great Dao."
"I cannot personally seek out things that are considered forbidden by both the Primordial Era and the Abyss. I already paid a huge price for stealing half a page back then."
"I want you to go and find the remaining half of the celestial book in my place."
"Ye Chen, you are a person with great luck, you might actually be able to find it."
As he finished speaking, the greed in Emperor Jinyu's eyes grew even stronger.
He coveted the body of the Heavenly Mother Goddess, and even more so, he desired the sacred words and heavenly scriptures!
Ye Chen listened silently, but before he could answer, the Heavenly Mother chuckled and said:
"Having half a page of the Heavenly Book isn't enough for you; you want the complete page too. Do you want to become the new Heavenly Sage and overthrow the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss?"
Emperor Jinyu waved his hand, looking rather languid, and said, "Being a Heavenly Saint is too tiring. Isn't it better to be carefree and unrestrained?"
"What I pursue is absolute freedom, absolute ease and freedom."
"If I had a complete page of the Heavenly Book, I would have an extra trump card when facing the pressure from the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss. Do you understand?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I understand, Your Majesty. I will do my best to find the remaining half page of the Heavenly Book for you."
"However, you can no longer harass my teacher's wife."
Emperor Jinyu gave an awkward smile and said noncommittally, "We'll talk about that later. You should set off quickly and come back soon. This half-page of the Sacred Text Book is my lifeline! Now that I've lent it to you, I'll be anxious every day you hold it."
Ye Chen nodded, then bid farewell to Emperor Jinyu and left with the Heavenly Mother.
As the two left the VIP room and walked down the corridor, the Heavenly Mother lowered her voice and said:
"Ye Chen, if the Golden Bird really tries to coerce me, whose side will you be on?"
Without a second thought, Ye Chen said, "Of course I'll stand by my master's wife. If Emperor Jin Yu tries to coerce you, I'll fight him to the death!"
The Heavenly Mother was stunned, not expecting Ye Chen to be so decisive. She said:
"But... Emperor Jinyu has given you so many benefits, are you willing to betray him for me?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "He was just using me. He wasn't genuinely good to me. Our relationship was just a transaction. You can't say who betrayed whom."
"Didn't you hear? Madam, he has already found someone to replace me. If I really die, he will have a new pawn."
Ye Chen wasn't blind; he could tell at a glance who was genuinely good to him and who was just using him for personal gain.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in the Heavenly Mother's eyes. She gently took Ye Chen's arm and said softly:
"Good child, your teacher's wife was right about you. No wonder Zilan and Qingyan both like you. You are someone I can entrust my life to!"
"This is your master's wife's natal magic treasure, called the Yaochi Golden Heart Pearl. She nurtured it with her lifeblood for many years. Your journey to the Land of No Worries will be fraught with danger. Take this pearl with you; it can be used for self-defense."
As she spoke, she took out a bead and put it into Ye Chen's hand.
The bead is golden in color and has a warm, smooth feel. Inside the bead is a phantom image of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace. It is full of spiritual energy and is of extraordinary quality.
"Teacher's wife."
Ye Chen was taken aback, not expecting the Heavenly Mother to lend him even her natal magic weapon. A warmth filled his heart, and after a moment's thought, he accepted the bead without hesitation, saying:
"Thank you, Madam!"
The two left the gold auction house and saw Mu Youying waiting outside.
"How about it?"
Upon seeing the two emerge, Mu Youying stepped forward and asked.
The Heavenly Mother said, "The matter has been resolved. The Golden Bird gave Ye Chen half a page of the Sacred Words Heavenly Book, so there should be no problem for him to cross the Black Profound Sand Ruins and the Eternal Silent Abyss."
"Miss Mu, all you need to do is help Ye Chen find the legacy of the Heavenly Sage."
"The Sacred Words Book?" Mu Youying was stunned when she heard this, her head spinning. She had also heard the legend of the Sacred Words Book, and this thing was no ordinary thing!
"As expected of Lord Golden Bird, you actually possess such a divine creature!"
Mu Youying exclaimed in admiration, then said:
"Now that I have the Holy Language Book to help me, I don't need to worry about anything. Let's go."
Among the ruins of the Land of No Worries, the most dangerous are the Black Sand Ruins and the Eternal Silent Abyss. Only by passing through these two forbidden areas can one truly reach the central area of the Land of No Worries.
Now that we have half a page of the sacred scripture to help us, there's no need to worry about any danger.
“I will escort you there. The Land of No Worries still harbors the killing intent of the Primordial Era and the Abyss. The higher one’s cultivation level, the easier it is for them to be assassinated. I cannot accompany you in. Be careful on your own.”
The Heavenly Mother summoned her flying boat, took Ye Chen and Mu Youying aboard, and sent them to the Land of No Worries.
Stepping onto the ship, the Heavenly Mother gazed at Ye Chen and said again:
"Ye Chen, if we really can't find the Heavenly Sage, then even if it goes against the laws of nature and human ethics, I will help you break the curse!"
"Master's wife..." Ye Chen was shocked when he saw the resolute expression on the Heavenly Mother's face.
The Golden Feather Emperor once said that, in fact, besides seeking the light of the Heavenly Sage, there is another way to break the curse on Ye Chen.
That is, Ye Chen and the Heavenly Mother Goddess are destined to be together. If they are united, their destinies will be intertwined, and they can overcome all calamities.
However, the Heavenly Mother is Ye Chen's teacher's wife. If the two of them were to marry, both of them would feel guilty, which would likely breed endless inner demons.
We wouldn't take this step unless it was absolutely necessary.
The Heavenly Mother Goddess was determined that if Ye Chen's curse could not be broken, she would have to use her own body to break it!
"No, Master's wife, I will definitely find the Heavenly Sage."
Ye Chen waved his hand, looking at the Heavenly Mother's burning and sincere gaze, he dared not look directly at her and turned his head away.
……
after one day.
Ye Chen and Mu Youying arrived at the Ruins of the Land of No Worries, also known as the Ruins of the Holy Ancient Palace, aboard the Heavenly Mother's flying boat.
The once vast ancient palaces have collapsed and been destroyed, leaving the land scorched and scarred. This is where Ye Chen and Jiang Wu used to fight, and the arena used for the duel is now completely destroyed.
The calamity that struck half a month ago was terrifyingly powerful, shattering and destroying this land, even causing spacetime to shatter, with turbulent spacetime currents and howling storms filling the void.
The Heavenly Mother Goddess rode her flying boat across this devastated land and soon arrived at the edge of a desert.
"We've arrived at the Black Sand Ruins."
"This is already deep within the Land of No Worries. The aura of the darkening and apocalypse is too strong, and there are also hidden killing intent fluctuations from the Primordial Era and the Abyss."
"I can't go any further. You guys go in yourselves, and be careful."
The Heavenly Mother looked at Ye Chen and Mu Youying and said solemnly.
Ye Chen hummed in agreement and looked down. He saw that the desert below was shrouded in a thick layer of black mist. The dark clouds covered the entire desert, and an aura of endless danger emanated from it.
Through the thick clouds, one could vaguely see dilapidated palaces scattered throughout the desert.
In the past, this land of carefree joy was filled with magnificent and sacred palaces. Warriors under the stars would make wishes that this was a place where everyone could own a grand palace and enjoy endless wine, honey, and beautiful women.
Most of the sacred lands of the Land of No Worries have perished, but the palaces still remain, half-submerged in the ruins of the land that has turned into a desert.
This is the Black Sand Ruins, a desert ruin shrouded in black mist, mostly born from the corruption and darkness of the world, a convergence of entropy and sin, and some remnants of the will of the primordial and abyssal realms.
Under the constraints of the Great Dao's rules, and with various causal entanglements, the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss could not send their complete will to the starry sky, but they could still spare a wisp of their spirit.
A single wisp of their spirit, a single strand of their will, is enough to destroy the world; even a powerful being like the Heavenly Mother, who is at the Heavenly Dao Realm, dares not face them directly.
On the contrary, Ye Chen and Mu Youying, because their cultivation was only at the Burning Lamp Realm, were not threatened by the residual will of the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss.
Just as wolves and lambs are afraid of tigers, insects don't need to be afraid of tigers. In fact, if an insect stands right in front of a tiger, the tiger might not even notice it.
Ye Chen and Mu Youying are just such insects; even if they step into the Black Profound Sand Ruins, they will not touch the will remaining in the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss.
The two bid farewell to the Heavenly Mother and stepped into the Black Sand Ruins side by side.
Upon entering the Black Profound Sand Ruins, Ye Chen immediately sensed that the aura of the end of the world was extremely dense. The world was dark and corrupt, and the air was not air at all, but rather like wet cotton or dark, rotting corpse fluid.
The air here alone would kill an ordinary person instantly if they took a single breath.
Ye Chen, being proficient in dark magic, was unaffected.
Mu Youying, having inherited the Yin Sha Dao of Emperor Taiyi, is also able to move freely in such a world.
However, the dark aura of the Black Profound Sand Ruins was far too dense, and the roars of demons could be heard from afar from time to time. Mu Youying frowned deeply and said to Ye Chen:
"Hey, don't you have half a page of the sacred scripture? Hurry up and take it out."
Ye Chen replied, "How can such a divine object be used lightly? Let's go. It's alright. If we encounter any demons, I can handle them."
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
The Black Sand Ruins are densely dark and corrupted by the laws of nature; even flying is impossible here.
Ye Chen did not use the half-page of the Sacred Language Book, because the Sacred Language Book belonged to the Golden Feather Emperor. If he used it rashly, he might be invaded by the Golden Feather Emperor's will.
Ye Chen was very cautious and did not make any rash moves. Although there were four kinds of abnormal black energy swirling in his dantian, he could only exert 40% to 50% of his full power.
But 40-50% of that power is enough to deal with ordinary dangers.
"That would be for the best, rather than the other way around, with me having to protect you."
Mu Youying drew her longsword, focused and on guard, her eyes gleaming as she surveyed her surroundings.
She is known as the "Eyes of the Night" because she can clearly see everything even in the dark.
The two walked through the desert shrouded in dark clouds. Ye Chen felt his steps were light. The terrible heavenly tribulation half a month ago had almost killed him, but he had survived.
Many past karmic sins and transgressions vanished completely with the outbreak of that heavenly calamity.
Therefore, Ye Chen can be said to be traveling light now. Even though there are four kinds of abnormal evil energy in his dantian, he still feels more relaxed than before.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Mu Youying cried out and swung her sword at Ye Chen's back.
Ye Chen's sword strike was even faster; the Heavenly Emperor Sword slashed down with a single blow, followed by a scream.
A humanoid demon was about to attack Ye Chen from behind, but Ye Chen killed it with a single sword strike.
The demon was covered with a thick layer of dark blue scales, but they did not stop Ye Chen's sword at all.
Upon seeing this, Mu Youying paused for a moment, then pouted and said, "The weapon is quite sharp. It seems I don't need to protect you."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "No need."
As he spoke, he swung his sword again, swiftly slashing and killing a demon that was trying to ambush Mu Youying.
When Mu Youying saw the demon lying on the ground, her scalp tingled. She had been careless and hadn't noticed the demon approaching.
If Ye Chen hadn't intervened, she would probably have been torn to pieces by the demons.
"Be careful, there are many demons here."
Ye Chen sheathed the Heavenly Emperor Sword and summoned a golden bead, which was the Yaochi Golden Heart Bead given to him by the Heavenly Mother.
Driven by spiritual energy, the Yaochi Golden Heart Pearl released a pure golden light, which dispersed some of the surrounding dark clouds. Some demons hidden in the dark clouds and mist immediately screamed and scattered in all directions.
Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled and continued forward with the golden bead in his hand.
He preferred to use the Heavenly Mother's golden pearl for protection rather than the sacred heavenly book.
That half-page of the Sacred Text Book bears the soul imprint of the Golden Feather Emperor. If Ye Chen uses it, he will be affected by its erosion to some extent.
The Black Sand Ruins are vast, corrupted by the laws of heaven and earth, and impossible to fly over. Ye Chen and Mu Youying used their movement techniques to fly forward quickly, but after traveling for a whole day, they still hadn't seen the end of the desert.
"I estimate it will take at least five or six days to cross the desert. Can your body handle it?"
Mu Youying looked at Ye Chen and asked with some concern.
"You care about me?"
Ye Chen chuckled jokingly.
Mu Youying immediately became angry and gritted her teeth, saying, "Who cares about you! Don't flatter yourself. It's just that if you die, I won't be able to explain it to the Heavenly Mother!"
She and her sister Mu Yaoguang are both famous beauties in the starry sky. Even when they are angry, they look very charming and attractive.
Ye Chen didn't have any ulterior motives; he was just bored and wanted to tease her a bit. He laughed and said:
"Don't worry, it's been forty-nine days, only half a month has passed so far, I still have a long life ahead of me."
Ye Chen looked at his palm. The curse totem was still in the shape of a five-ringed wheel. There was still plenty of time, so he wasn't too nervous.
Mu Youying snorted and ignored Ye Chen.
The two walked for a while longer, and then it got dark.
As night falls, the Black Sand Ruins become even more gloomy, teeming with demons.
Ye Chen and Mu Youying lit a campfire to rest in the desert. The Yaochi Golden Heart Pearl floated beside them, emitting golden light that dispelled the darkness and deterred demons.
In the distance, pairs of red eyes gleamed in the darkness, but none dared to approach.
Ye Chen sat down by the campfire to meditate and recuperate.
Within the cycle of hell, the voice of dawn resounded:
"Lord of Reincarnation, this place is overrun by demons and seems very dangerous. Do you need my help?"
At this moment, Chenxi was in the Radiant Palace in the Hell of Reincarnation, doing some embroidery to harmonize her Dao heart, while the Radiant Empress was playing chess with herself.
After a period of rest, Chenxi's vitality has been greatly restored. In fact, in addition to the twilight glow of the Twilight Ancestor, a fresh and gentle light has gradually spread from her body, which is the light of dawn.
"Hey, Chenxi, you seem to be feeling much better."
When Ye Chen saw Chen Xi, he was somewhat surprised to see her rosy complexion, fair and translucent skin, and even the light of dawn emanating from her.
"Yes, thanks to you, Lord of Reincarnation, my light seems to have been restored by your side."
Chen Xi looked at Ye Chen with a tender expression and spoke softly.
The Radiant Queen said lazily, "She's fallen in love, little one. She has you in her heart, she has light in her heart, and she has actually reversed the abyss's corruption."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was stunned.
Dawn is the Dawn Saint God among the six great saints, symbolizing hope. However, the six great saints have long been corrupted and fallen. For example, the Sun Saint God has fallen into the Black Sun Calamity Ancestor, the Pure Mystery Saint God has fallen into chaos, and Wanfu has turned into plague.
At this moment, the two calamities of chaos and plague were churning in Ye Chen's dantian, but there was no sign of the light returning, and it was filled with the malice and malevolence of the abyss.
But the dawn now looks gentle and beautiful, and it is full of light, as if it has indeed restored the glory of the holy dawn of the past.
