Chapter 12528 Hidden Crisis

Chapter 12528 Hidden Crisis

"Heavenly Father, bestow your grace!"

Emperor Xuanguang roared, raising his arms high in prayer to the heavens.

In the next instant, a crack appeared in the sky, and a vast holy light descended.

Within the holy light was a pure white, crystal-clear bead, from which all the holy light emanated, shining as brilliantly as the sun.

"Lord of Reincarnation, hurry!"

Upon seeing the bead descend, the Holy Emperor Xuan Guang immediately urged Ye Chen loudly.

Ye Chen understood and poured spiritual energy into the bead to activate it.

The entire bead emitted a halo like a sun corona, with layers of holy light spreading outwards in all directions.

Wherever it passed, vast swathes of black tide collapsed and vanished.

"Ah, a corona dzi bead!"

"In the beginning, did you really bestow such divine treasures upon the Lord of Reincarnation?"

When Abyss saw the crystal-clear bead radiating the brilliance of the sun, his blood-red eyes trembled violently.

The surrounding darkness and black tide were quickly annihilated under the impact of the holy light of the Corona Dzi Bead, and the whole world became bright and clear.

Unable to continue parasitizing the abyss, it vanished into oblivion, carrying with it boundless resentment.

Ye Chen suddenly woke up, only to find himself still sitting cross-legged in the cabin. Everything that had just happened seemed to be just an illusion.

But before his eyes, a bead as brilliant as the sun and incredibly crystalline floated, faintly surrounded by a halo like a solar corona.

On the bead, the figure of the Xuan Guang Saint Emperor floated.

The scene before Ye Chen told him that everything that had just happened was not a dream!

He sensed his dantian and discovered that his cultivation aura had advanced to the initial stage of the first level of the Abyss Realm.

He had just advanced to the Abyss Realm and came into contact with the aura of the Dark Abyss, and actually saw the Abyss God directly.

Even the Abyss God wanted to kill him, but in the end, the Profound Light Saint Emperor intervened and summoned the power of the Primordial Era to repel the Abyss.

"The Corona Dzi Bead... Is this a treasure bestowed by the Primordial Beginning?"

Looking at the bead floating in front of him, Ye Chen could feel the immense and sacred power of light emanating from it.

Emperor Xuanguang exclaimed with delight, "Indeed! Lord of Reincarnation, the Primordial Beginning has recognized you."

"That's wonderful! From now on, we can join forces to fight the Abyss!"

Ye Chen remained silent. The Dao of the Abyss wanted to put everyone to sleep, giving rise to countless parallel universes.

Everyone is the absolute master in their own time and space.

Ye Chen couldn't accept it; he couldn't tolerate living a life worse than a pig or a dog in another time and space.

Moreover, with countless parallel universes emerging, who knows what kind of chaos they will bring.

However, he also did not recognize the primordial Tao.

In the beginning, what the Great One wanted to do was to make all the beings in the heavens become light, and then merge them together, so that all light would originate from the same source and all beings would shine together.

If a person becomes light, is that still a person?
Upon seeing Ye Chen's appearance, the Profound Light Saint Emperor knew that Ye Chen did not acknowledge the Dao of the Primordial Beginning, and said:

"Lord of Reincarnation, I know that you do not acknowledge the Primordial Beginning."

"But that's okay, at least for now, we can cooperate."

"Whatever your conflict with Taichu can wait until the Abyss is resolved."

Ye Chen thought so too. The Abyss was powerful and the darkness was boundless. If he wanted to fight against it, he had to cooperate with Tai Chu.

As for his conflict with the Primordial One, that can wait until the Abyss is destroyed.

Ye Chen looked at the Profound Light Saint Emperor and nodded in agreement, "Okay, so how do we cooperate?"

Emperor Xuanguang said, "I heard the voice of the Primordial Beginning. He told you to first refine the Sun Corona Heavenly Pearl and strengthen your own source body."

“You bear the burden of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Dao, which is extremely dangerous. This lineage could collapse at any moment and crush you to death.”

"You must first strengthen your source body in order to bear the pressure of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Path."

He is the spirit of the Heavenly Light and Divine Water, and is now considered the messenger of the Primordial Beginning, serving as a bridge between Ye Chen and the Primordial Beginning.

"Refine the Corona Dzi Bead to strengthen your Origin Body?"

Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he sensed his own body.

His body is now considered the Primordial Origin Body, and he has inherited the divine authority of the seven Primordial Origin Gods: the Skeleton Ancestor, the Fairy of the Spiritual Eyes, the Fairy of the Green Silk, and the Heart Heavenly Venerable.

His bones are the remains of the primordial gods, and his heart is the heart of the primordial heavens.

His body was the Primordial Origin Body.

If his source energy grows stronger, he can withstand the pressure of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Dao even without the support of the Heavenly Pillar.

"Taichu asked me to strengthen the Source Body, isn't he afraid that I will replace him?"

Ye Chen asked again.

If he inherits all seven lineages of the Origin Gods, then he may become the new Primordial God!

Emperor Xuanguang shook his head and said, "It's alright. The primordial sacred path is that all lights originate from the same source, all beings shine together, and everyone becomes light."

“Everyone is light, and everyone is the beginning, without distinction between them.”

"You may refine whatever the Primordial Beginning has given you."

Ye Chen's eyes darted around as he pondered.

If he further refines and absorbs the power of light, his own Dao will inevitably become more inclined towards light.

Given time, it is quite possible that it could become light and completely lose itself.

However, Ye Chen could not give up the Sun Corona Heavenly Pearl bestowed by the Primordial Beginning, which was an opportunity delivered to his doorstep, nor could he give up the Primordial Origin Body.

"Then thank you very much, Taichu."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, accepted the Corona Dzi Bead, and absorbed and refined it.

He believed that with his own Daoist heart, he would never be easily assimilated by the Primordial Beginning.

Moreover, he also possesses the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, which he can use to sever himself when necessary, eliminating anything that might harm him!
With his trump card protecting him, Ye Chen became much bolder and immediately began absorbing and refining the energy of the Corona Dzi Bead.

He felt that the spiritual energy of this celestial bead was simply magnificent, brilliant, and boundless, and it was in no way inferior to the Heavenly Emperor's Destiny Star.

"What a powerful divine treasure!"

Ye Chen clicked his tongue in amazement. With his current cultivation level, he was not able to fully absorb the energy of the Corona Heavenly Pearl; he could only absorb and refine a tiny bit of it.

If Ye Chen were to absorb all the spiritual energy and divine light of the Corona Dzi Bead, he would no longer be Ye Chen; he would directly become light and be assimilated by the Primordial Beginning.

After absorbing a trace of the energy from the Corona Dzi Bead, Ye Chen felt strands of sacred light surging into his body like waves.

His primordial divine remains and primordial heavenly heart were immediately strengthened.

The Primordial Spirit Eye and Primordial Green Hair also emitted spiritual light and regained their spiritual energy.

Originally, when Fairy Qingsi and Fairy Lingtong passed on their lineages to Ye Chen, the Qingsi lineage and the Lingtong lineage had already perished, the divine path no longer existed, and only the original laws remained.

But now, nourished by the spiritual energy of the Corona Dzi Bead, the Azure Silk Divine Authority and the Spirit Eye Divine Authority have both been re-emerged.

Ye Chen's eyes suddenly became incredibly bright and clear, as if they could see through the mysteries of the heavens.

"Yin Yang Star Sea, Star Sea Destiny Orbit Disc!"

In an instant, Ye Chen saw the secret and discovered the key to breaking the deadlock.

Immortal Venerable Jingliu once said that there are legends of ten great Dao artifacts on Yin Yang Heavenly Continent. If Ye Chen could find even one of them, it would be enough to support his body and further forge the Heavenly Pillar to bear the pressure of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Dao.

Now, Ye Chen's gaze pierced through the layers of causal fog, and he actually glimpsed the key to breaking the deadlock, seeing a Dao artifact called the "Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc".

If he can find this Dao artifact, he will have a chance to forge the Heavenly Pillar.

Even the star chart itself has the effect of changing the trajectory of fate, which is incredibly mysterious.

This Star Sea Destiny Orbiter is located in Yin Yang Heavenly Continent, in a place called Yin Yang Star Sea!
After glimpsing the trajectory of the Star Sea Destiny Disc, Ye Chen felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and all causal trajectories were severed again.

"hiss……"

"This Primordial Spirit Eye can perceive cause and effect; it is indeed incredibly profound."

"However, peeking into some major causes and effects can also damage one's own eyes."

Ye Chen blinked and didn't try to spy any further.

His hair, now loose and flowing, underwent a tremendous transformation, becoming the primordial black hair.

The Abyssal Tumor is terrifying; it can parasitize anywhere on the body, but it cannot parasitize hair.

In the initial conception of the Primordial Era, the Primordial Green Silk was the trump card. Even if the body was rotting and parasitized by tumors, as long as the Green Silk still shone with divine light, as long as there was still a single hair, it was possible to be reborn in full strength and fight the abyss again.

This is the great significance of the Primordial Green Silk. It does not have any heaven-defying destructive power, but it is the last trump card to preserve oneself and prevent the abyss from corroding one's body.

With the help of the Corona Dzi Bead, Ye Chen's Azure Silk Divine Authority and Spirit Eye Divine Authority were reborn and revived.

With the Primordial Divine Remains and Primordial Heavenly Heart greatly strengthened, he felt much more stable and would no longer be easily crushed by the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Dao.

"Great, my body is much more stable now, and it won't collapse so easily."

Ye Chen clenched his fist, feeling his own power increase significantly, and was filled with joy.

Whether cooperating with Taichu will bring blessings or curses in the future is unpredictable, but at least for now, he has gained tremendous benefits.

His own cultivation also broke through rapidly, directly advancing to the peak of the third level of the Abyss Realm!

Just a moment ago, Ye Chen was at the first level of the Abyss Realm, but now he has rapidly broken through to the third level.

This rapid breakthrough delighted Ye Chen immensely.

In the past, his cultivation breakthroughs were made one small level at a time, but now he is making rapid progress and breaking through one level after another.

This is partly due to the help of the beginning.

On the other hand, it is also Ye Chen's accumulated spiritual energy that is now gradually being released.

His past foundation was solid enough, so even though he was promoted quickly, he didn't feel insecure at all; instead, he felt very fulfilled.

"However, it's best to find something to support my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys to ensure everything is in order."

Ye Chen pondered to himself that even with Tai Chu's help now, he did not let his guard down.

After all, the pressure of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Path is simply too great.

He still intends to follow the original plan and seek a suitable opportunity to forge the Heavenly Pillar.

The glimpse of the star chart I just saw is quite a good opportunity.

Ye Chen planned to return to Jiucang Academy first, and then try his luck in Yin Yang Tianzhou to see if he could find the Star Sea Destiny Plate.

"I wonder how Qingxue is doing?"

In a daze, Ye Chen thought of Feng Qingxue again.

She said she wanted to visit Yin Yang Tian Zhou. I wonder if she's in the Starry Sky World or on Yin Yang Tian Zhou now.

Ye Chen wanted to activate his Primordial Spirit Eye to spy on Feng Qingxue's whereabouts, but he also felt a strange sense of panic, as if his love tribulation was about to strike.

He had no choice but to abandon the idea. Now that the Frenzied Devouring Fragment had been temporarily sealed away, it could no longer be used. Otherwise, if the dark aura of the fragment grew stronger and broke through, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Without the help of the Devouring Fragments to absorb the negative calamities, Ye Chen dared not act rashly and proceeded with great caution.

……

A day later, Ye Chen returned to Jiucang Academy.

Throughout the Nine Cang Academy, everyone looked at him with a mixture of admiration and worry.

Ye Chen knew that he had inherited the Dao lineage of the Heavenly Ancestor, which must have shocked the entire other side of the starry sky.

Outsiders are unaware of the existence of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Path, but everyone is well aware of the significance of the Heavenly Ancestor's Reincarnation Path.

Ye Chen's rapid inheritance of the Heavenly Ancestor's lineage caused some commotion and doubt even within the Samsara faction.

"Ye Chen, you're back."

Not long after Ye Chen returned, Ren Feifan, Feng Wuyai, and Ling Qingya sensed his presence and immediately came out to greet him.

"Senior Ren."

Ye Chen cupped his hands in greeting and then bowed to Feng Wuyai.

Ren Feifan hummed in agreement, somewhat doubtful, and said:
"I have glimpsed some secrets of the universe from what you experienced in the Thousand Rock Abyss."

"The Heavenly Ancestor is dead. Has his lineage been passed down to you?"

Ye Chen replied, "Yes!"

Ren Feifan said, "Can you withstand it? I feel that this missionary work is not simple."

Ye Chen said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

He took Ren Feifan, Feng Wuyai, and Ling Qingya back to the Morning Sun Flower Sea.

On the way, he briefly recounted what happened in the Thousand Rock Abyss, but omitted the love entanglement between himself and Feng Qingxue.

Ren Feifan, Feng Wuyai, and Ling Qingya were all taken aback upon hearing this.

"You mean, the Path of Reincarnation and the Path of Yin and Yang combined to create a new lineage that almost crushed you?"

Ren Feifan said, somewhat incredulously.

"Yes."

Ye Chen nodded; this was indeed an unprecedented amount of pressure.

Ren Feifan frowned and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

Just as Ye Chen was about to speak, he suddenly saw wisps of black smoke rising from a mountain range in the distance.

The black aura seemed to exude an unusual and ominous aura.

The place where the black energy was emanating seemed to be the place where the Goddess of Beauty and Su Yunli were in seclusion!
"what is that?"

Ye Chen pointed at the black mist, immediately becoming wary and worried.

Upon seeing this, Ren Feifan calmly said:

"It's the demonic energy of the Black Queen Mother's demonic seed."

"The Ice Emperor and the Goddess of Beauty cultivate together to transcend the divine path and dissolve the demonic seed in the Goddess of Beauty."

"The fact that black energy is rising into the sky means that the demonic seed and demonic energy of the Goddess of Beauty are being neutralized, which is a good thing."

He had obviously witnessed the scene of black energy rising into the sky, so he was not surprised.

"Good thing?"

Ye Chen felt a strange unease, but the black aura quickly subsided.

Ren Feifan asked again, "What are your plans next?"

"Are we going to seek an opportunity to forge a celestial pillar?"

Ye Chen needs at least five Heavenly Pillars to support his body, but he only has two now, and he is still short of three.

"Yes."

Ye Chen nodded; he did indeed urgently need to forge the Heavenly Pillar.

Although he had the Corona Dzi Bead in hand, his Primordial Origin Body had been greatly strengthened, and his body had become much more powerful.

However, just to be on the safe side, he still needed to forge five pillars to support his body.

Ren Feifan pondered for a moment and said, "Now, on the other side of the starry sky, the only places with great opportunities are the Myriad Star Palace, the Divine Weapon Manor, the Black Abyss Domain, and so on, but those are not places you can go."

"When I was in seclusion in Yin Yang Tianzhou, I saw that the continent was filled with Dao energy and endless divine light, containing endless opportunities."

"This is the clash between the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss. The intense desires of these two supreme beings touched the Great Dao and gave birth to a new world. Few people have set foot here now, and it is a time when creation is everywhere."

"You can try your luck."

Ye Chen said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

He had previously glimpsed that there existed a Dao artifact called the "Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc" on Yin Yang Heaven Continent, which seemed to be the key to breaking his predicament.

Ren Feifan said, "Yes, I have heard that there are legends of ten great Dao artifacts in Yin Yang Tianzhou. If you can find even one of them, it will benefit you greatly."

"But most of those Dao artifacts have owners. As far as I know, the only Dao artifacts that are unowned seem to be the Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc and the Chaos Beginning Bell."

"Well, you should rest for a few days. In the meantime, I will help you deduce the whereabouts of those two Dao artifacts."

He knew that Ye Chen had experienced a lot in the Thousand Rock Abyss and needed to rest and recuperate.

"it is good."

Ye Chen nodded. In fact, he could roughly glimpse the Star Sea Fate Plate in a place called "Yin Yang Star Sea".

However, the Yin-Yang Star Sea is vast and boundless, and he has yet to discover the exact whereabouts of the Dao artifact.

If he were to calculate it himself, it would be mentally and physically exhausting; he needs to rest now.

Ye Chen had never even heard of the Chaos Beginning Bell.

It would be best to entrust the task of deducing the whereabouts of the Dao artifact to Ren Feifan.

"These are the Nine Heavens Immortal Herb and the Heavenly Pivot Suspended Gourd. Senior Ren, please give them to the Heavenly Maiden."

Ye Chen took out the Nine Heavens Immortal Herb and the Heavenly Pivot Suspended Pot and handed them to Ren Feifan, asking him to pass them on to the Heavenly Maiden.

"Alright, the Wish God Path and the Lamp God Path will merge. I will protect you from the fusion. You can rest well."

Ren Feifan accepted the Nine Heavens Immortal Herb and the Heavenly Pivot Suspended Pot, and said solemnly.

Ye Chen went through tremendous twists and turns to obtain these two items.

Now, all we can hope for is that the Heavenly Maiden's Wish Divine Path and the Bright Emperor's Lamp Divine Path, once merged, will give birth to a sufficiently intense divinity to illuminate Ye Chen's future.

After the discussion was settled, Ye Chen went back to the Morning Dawn Flower Sea Palace to rest, accompanied by Xia Ruoxue and the other women.

Now, Xia Ruoxue and the other women are finding it difficult to keep up with him, but that doesn't matter, he doesn't care.

He felt a hundred times more powerful as long as they were by his side.

With the women by his side, Ye Chen's entanglement with Feng Qingxue's love was greatly eased and alleviated.

"If Yun Li, Mei Shen, and Qing Xue could all be by my side, that would be perfect."

Ye Chen felt a slight sense of regret.

After resting for three days in the palace, Ye Chen enjoyed a pleasant and carefree time. When he woke up from the flowers that day, he found the world calm and a gentle breeze blowing.

This calmness, however, made Ye Chen feel uneasy.

There was not a single unusual phenomenon in the world, which was precisely what was strange.

Logically speaking, since Su Yunli and the Goddess of Beauty were cultivating together, the phenomenon of black energy rising into the sky every one or two days should indicate that the Goddess of Beauty's demonic seed and demonic energy were disintegrating.

But three days have passed, and Ye Chen has not seen anything unusual.

"Yun Li and the Goddess of Beauty, I wonder how they are doing. I must go and check on them!"

A sense of unease rose in Ye Chen's heart, and he immediately rushed to the place where Su Yunli and the Goddess of Beauty were in seclusion.
