Chapter 12529 Pure as Night

Chapter 12529 Pure as Night

The two women were to go into seclusion for a hundred days, and Ye Chen should not disturb them before they emerged. However, he had some concerns and could not worry about that now.

Upon arriving at the cave where the two women were in seclusion, Ye Chen found that the area outside the cave was filled with thick black mist.

But the black aura did not exhibit any demonic or malevolent energy; it was simply a pure darkness, like the night itself.

Under the cover of this swirling black mist, the secrets and causes within the cave were completely isolated, and Ye Chen could not sense anything.

"This aura is a bit strange; it's as pure as the night."

Ye Chen looked at the pure black mist swirling outside the cave and became increasingly wary, but he was afraid of disturbing the peace and quiet of the Goddess of Beauty and Su Yunli's seclusion, so he remained silent.

With a flash, Ye Chen used the Night Emperor Scripture, transforming into a black shadow and sneaking into the cave.

He planned to go in and check on the situation. If the goddess and Su Yunli were alright, he would come out again without disturbing the two women.

He slipped into the cave, where the darkness was even more intense.

Under the pure, dense darkness, Ye Chen felt drowsy and wanted to drift off to sleep.

"what is this?"

"The laws of eternal slumber in the abyss?"

"How can it be!"

"How could the Law of Eternal Slumber exist here?"

Ye Chen was shaken and reacted extremely quickly. He immediately activated the Corona Heavenly Pearl, and a surge of brilliant spiritual energy rose from his dantian, rapidly filling his entire body.

The majestic and vast divine light of the sun filled Ye Chen's entire body, directly blocking the erosion of the Eternal Slumber Law.

When Ye Chen entered the depths of the cave, he saw that both the Goddess of Beauty and Su Yunli were lying limply on the ground, fast asleep.

The two women looked haggard, their flesh withered, and their brows furrowed with the anxiety and fear of a nightmare, as if they were trapped in a nightmare.

"Yun Li, Goddess of Beauty, how are you?"

"Wake up, wake up!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen was startled. He appeared and patted the two women's faces, trying to wake them up, but they did not respond.

Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly helped the two women up. Then he kissed their lips and poured a breath of solar energy into their mouths.

Nourished by the solar energy, the two women twitched and woke up from their nightmare.

"Ye Chen..."

The two women were momentarily stunned when they saw Ye Chen.

"How are you doing?"

Ye Chen asked hurriedly.

Su Yunli was in a daze for a moment, and said blankly:

"I...I think I just had a nightmare, a very long nightmare."

“I…I dreamt that I was corrupted by the abyss, went mad, and actually pierced my brother’s heart with a sword.”

Su Yunli looked at Ye Chen, suddenly trembled, touched Ye Chen's heart, and hurriedly said:
"Brother, are you still alive? I didn't pierce your heart, did I?"

Ye Chen said, "No, I'm fine."

Su Yunli said blankly:

"really?"

"I...I'm a little confused. Am I dreaming or am I in reality?"

She looked at her hands and was momentarily lost in confusion.

The goddess gently covered her head, saying with some discomfort, "I also had a nightmare, Ye Chen..."

“I dreamt of your daughter, whose hands and feet had been cut off, and you were by her side, powerless to do anything about it.”

Ye Chen asked, "My daughter? Is it Fu Jin?"

The goddess said, "No, who was it again? I don't know, I can't remember."

"In short, I had a terrible nightmare."

Ye Chen said in a deep voice, "It seems that you have all been corrupted by the Law of Eternal Slumber in the Abyss and have fallen into a dream, and a nightmare at that."

"If I hadn't arrived in time, you would all be dead."

The situation that Beauty Goddess and Su Yunli were in just now was extremely dangerous.

Without external intervention, they would either die of terror in nightmares or die from exhaustion of their spiritual energy, their flesh and blood withering away.

Their faces are haggard now, because the nightmares have drained too much of their strength.

"Eternal slumber in the abyss?"

Su Yunli and the Goddess of Beauty both changed their expressions.

Su Yunli regained consciousness and said, "By the way, I cultivated with the Goddess of Beauty, using the Transcendental Path to dissolve the demonic seed of the Black Queen Mother within her."

"Everything was going smoothly until three days ago, when suddenly a powerful dark aura came back from the demonic seed."

"That dark aura was extremely pure, without any demonic malevolence, only the purity of the night."

"When people are in the dark, they want to sleep. The goddess and I fell asleep on the spot and were caught in a nightmare."

Looking into the cave, where the atmosphere of night was still very thick, her face twitched slightly, and she said,
“I recognize this aura. It’s exactly the same as the one from the Eternal Abyss! It’s the aura of the Law of Eternal Slumber in the Abyss, the eternal darkness of slumber!”

Ye Chen said, "It seems that the Abyss is behind this. The power of the Abyss is eroding you along with the Black Queen Mother's demonic seed, causing you to fall into a deep sleep."

Ye Chen had previously severed ties with the Abyss, yet the Abyss immediately launched its revenge!

Currently, the battle between the Abyss and the Primordial Beginning is fierce, and the Abyss cannot spare the attention to deal with Ye Chen. However, the Black Queen Mother is considered the daughter of the Abyss.

The Abyss can use the Black Queen Mother's hand to take revenge on Ye Chen!

Within the goddess of beauty, the Black Queen Mother planted a demonic seed.

If it were only the power of the Black Queen Mother, Su Yunli's transcendence of the divine path would be enough to resolve it.

But the Abyss intervened, releasing its eternal slumber law, which eroded along the demonic seed of the Black Queen Mother.

Both the goddess of beauty and Su Yunli were affected and fell into a deep sleep. The dreams of the abyss are not all sweet; when nightmares rage, they can be deadly!

"Brother, what should we do?"

Su Yunli panicked a little; she couldn't withstand the erosion of the Eternal Sleep Law.

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then handed the Corona Dzi Bead to Su Yunli and said, "Take this Corona Dzi Bead; it should be able to resist the erosion of the Abyss's Eternal Sleep."

The Corona Dzi Bead is a divine treasure bestowed by the Primordial Beginning. This bead is magnificent and radiant, with divine light, and is more than enough to combat the dark aura of eternal slumber in the abyss.

After all, the dark energy that the abyss can currently infiltrate is not very strong, and with the right methods, it is still possible to fight against it.

"Ah."

Su Yunli nodded and reached out to take the Corona Dzi Bead, but as soon as she took it, she felt it was too hot to handle.

"Ouch!"

She cried out in pain, her hand loosened, and the bead fell to the ground.

"how?"

Ye Chen asked.

Su Yunli said, "This bead is so hot, I can't hold it."

"Moreover, it seems that there is a strong will resisting me."

At this moment, the voice of the Profound Light Saint Emperor reached Ye Chen's ears: "Lord of Reincarnation, the Sun Crown Heavenly Pearl bestowed upon you by the Primordial Beginning can only be used by you alone."

"No one else is qualified to touch such a priceless treasure!"

"Moreover, the Holy Light of the Corona Bead is vast. If others do not have the foundation of the Path of Light and rashly use it, they will only be assimilated into the light, which is equivalent to turning into nothingness."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s face suddenly darkened.

Indeed, the energy of this celestial bead is so vast that if an ordinary person were to touch it, they would be instantly assimilated into light and vanish into nothingness.

"Is this a magical artifact bestowed upon you by the Primordial Beginning? We outsiders should not be able to use it."

Su Yunli looked at Ye Chen and seemed to have noticed something.

Ye Chen retrieved the Corona Dzi Bead and immediately fell into deep thought.

If the corona bead cannot be used, what other methods are there to break the deadlock?

"How about I give it a try?"

Just as Ye Chen was deep in thought, a clear, cold voice came from outside the cave.

It was the voice of a celestial maiden!
"A celestial maiden?"

Upon hearing the celestial maiden's voice, Ye Chen was greatly surprised and quickly went out to take a look.

Ren Tiannu was sitting cross-legged outside the cave, one leg dangling in the air, the other hanging down naturally. She held an ancient bronze lamp in her right hand and made a mudra with her left. Her posture was transcendent and sacred, as if she had seen through the mortal world, and her whole body was radiant.

Ren Feifan stood beside the Heavenly Maiden, looking at her sacred and solemn appearance, his expression was rather complicated.

"Celestial Maiden, you..."

Ye Chen was astonished when he saw the celestial maiden's appearance.

Does this mean the integration was successful?
Have the Wish-Fulfilling Path and the Lamp-Lighting Path merged into one?

The celestial maiden's eyes were sharp as she looked at Ye Chen and said, "Call me the Celestial Maiden of Holding Heaven."

"Huh?" Ye Chen was a little confused.

We're all family now, you could even say we're husband and wife, so there's no need to be so formal, right?
"cough……"

Ren Feifan coughed lightly and looked at the Heavenly Maiden, saying, "The Divine Path of the Bright Emperor has merged into your body, and your spirit has been affected by it. You even speak in an old-fashioned manner?"

The celestial maiden said, “No, the Great Dao is solemn and awe-inspiring. If it lacks the aura of the true Dharma, how can it light lamps to illuminate the heavens and guide the people of the world?”

Seeing the celestial maiden's serious expression, Ye Chen was unsure whether to laugh or not, so he simply went along with her wishes and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, saying:

“With the Heavenly Maiden above, I am in a state of confusion.”

The celestial maiden nodded, holding up an ancient bronze lamp in her hand. The lamplight illuminated Ye Chen, and she said:

"Yes, I already know."

"The Goddess of Beauty and the Ice Emperor are being corrupted by the laws of eternal slumber in the abyss. Rest assured, as we are Daoist partners, I will do my utmost to resolve this for you."

Ye Chen said, "So you did know that we are Daoist partners."

The celestial maiden maintained her solemn and dignified demeanor, saying, "I have never forgotten that you are my only one."

She spoke in the most serious tone, saying the most sincere words of love, leaving Ye Chen completely bewildered.

The celestial maiden continued, "The wishing lamp in my hand is newly born and its flame is still very weak, but it is enough to resist the laws of eternal slumber in the abyss."

"Goddess of Beauty and Emperor Ice Glass, I will protect you with my lamp, so you can rest assured."

Ren Feifan chimed in, "Ye Chen, the preaching has been going very smoothly these past few days."

"The divine way of the Dipankara Buddha has been passed on to the celestial maiden, and the light of the Dipankara Buddha has also nurtured her divine power of wishes."

"Now that the wish of the lamp has been fulfilled, the two divine paths have merged into one, and with the help of the Heavenly Pivot Suspended Pot, the Heavenly Maiden can also withstand the pressure of these two divine paths."

"Just looking at her, I always feel like she's suffered some kind of brain damage; she doesn't even speak like a normal person anymore."

Ye Chen noticed that the celestial maiden had a small jade pot hanging from her waist, which was the Heavenly Pivot Suspended Pot.

The power and authority of the Emperor of Wisdom are immense, but fortunately, the Heavenly Pivot and the Hanging Pot are there, which the Heavenly Maiden can withstand.

Just looking at her old-fashioned and eccentric appearance, Ye Chen, like Ren Feifan, felt that there was something wrong with her mind.

The celestial maiden solemnly said, "Xiao Fan, as I have said, the grandeur of the Great Vow of Dipankara is magnificent and awe-inspiring."

"In short, I will take care of the Goddess of Beauty and the Ice Emperor."

She held the ancient bronze lamp, looking very confident.

Ye Chen's eyes suddenly lit up as he glimpsed the future.

His future, with its countless timelines, was originally destined to collapse towards death.

But now, at the end of that boundless darkness and death, a glimmer of dawn has appeared.

That was the light of an ancient bronze lamp. This lamp illuminated the darkness of Ye Chen's future and attracted other lights.

The light of hope and the light of miracles converged around this beacon, together illuminating Ye Chen's future.

Seeing his future illuminated, Ye Chen felt a surge of excitement, but looking at the celestial maiden's solemn and dignified appearance, his mind quickly returned to calm.

The celestial maiden's posture has a powerful infectious quality that can bring peace to the mind.

"Thank you, Heavenly Maiden."

“The Heavenly Maiden”.

Ye Chen smiled and thanked the celestial maiden, both for her willingness to protect the goddess of beauty and Su Yunli, and for illuminating his future.

"It's alright. As I said, you are my only one. Even if I burn myself out and use my blood as fuel, I will still illuminate your future."

The celestial maiden spoke with utmost solemnity, her tone revealing an unparalleled transcendence and a resolute determination to seek the ultimate truth.

Ye Chen was grateful and said solemnly, "Anyway, thank you very much."

The Heavenly Maiden looked at Ren Feifan and said, "Xiaofan, the Abyss and the Black Queen Mother joining forces is no small matter. We must make further preparations."

Ren Feifan nodded and said to Ye Chen:
"Ye Chen, in the past three days, I have deduced the whereabouts of the Star Sea Fate Plate. It is in Yin Yang Heavenly Continent, in a place called Yin Yang Heavenly Sea. I will give you a map."

As he spoke, he took out a map, tossed it to Ye Chen, and said...

"As for the Chaos Beginning Bell, its whereabouts have not yet been determined."

"You can try your luck in Yin Yang Tianzhou. If you can find the Star Sea Fate Plate, you can stabilize the fate trajectory of the Goddess of Beauty and the Ice Glass Emperor and ensure their successful dual cultivation."

"And you, too, can use the Starry Sea Destiny Orbit Disc to forge another pillar of heaven."

He knew that Ye Chen was a person with great fortune, and that he could always get the treasures he wanted.

He only hoped that Ye Chen's luck would continue to work its magic in Yin Yang Heavenly Continent.

The Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc is one of the Ten Great Dao Artifacts, and it is extremely important to the current situation.

The Starry Sea Fate Compass has the effect of peeping into fate and even changing it. Obtaining this artifact can stabilize the fate trajectory of the goddess of beauty and prevent accidents.

Secondly, it would allow Ye Chen to forge another Heavenly Pillar to support the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation Kingdom.

Thirdly, by observing the trajectory of fate, one can predict and divine many important matters.

Ye Chen unfolded the map, which marked the location of the Yin-Yang Star Sea, but it was very brief. It only said that the Star Sea Fate Plate was in the Yin-Yang Star Sea, but did not specify its exact location.

"Senior Ren, your map is a bit too simple. I know the Star Sea Fate Plate is in the Yin Yang Star Sea, but where exactly is it?"

The Yin-Yang Star Sea is vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles. Finding even a small compass within it is no easy task.

Ren Feifan said, "This is all I can deduce. The rest you have to find out for yourself."

"Uh..." Ye Chen was speechless. Even without this map, he could already see that the Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc was inside the Yin Yang Star Sea, but he couldn't determine its exact location.

Ren Feifan said, "The cause and effect related to Dao artifacts are not so easy to decipher. Knowing the approximate location is already quite difficult."

"You'd better set off as soon as possible, because there are already quite a few forces in the starry sky that have gone to Yin Yang Heaven Continent for training. They may also know about the Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc."

"It would be bad if someone beat us to it."

Ye Chen's heart tightened, knowing the key to the Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc, and he said, "Then I'll set off now."

Yin Yang Tianzhou is a new continent, a new world, containing endless opportunities. Therefore, many forces from beyond the stars have already sent people to explore the new continent.

Many students from Jiucang Academy also went there to gain experience.

However, there is a world barrier between the New World and the main world, making it inconvenient to enter or leave, and difficult to communicate about celestial secrets, so information exchange is quite challenging.

Going to the New World and encountering trouble usually means having to deal with it on your own, making it extremely dangerous.

The celestial maiden said, "There's no need to rush off. Lord of Reincarnation, I will be very worried about you and suffer from lovesickness once you leave."

"You shall stay here tonight and keep me company for the night, so as to ease the pain of longing."

"..." Ye Chen looked at the celestial maiden, somewhat speechless. If she wanted to say something, she should just say it directly. This roundabout way was really giving him a headache.

……

As night fell, the bright moon shone in the sky, its light pure and radiant.

In a sea of ​​flowers at dawn, petals dance in the moonlight, creating a beautiful and dreamlike scene.

Amidst the flowers, two bodies were embracing and entwining—it was Ye Chen and the Heavenly Maiden.

The celestial maiden had completely lost her daytime composure and seriousness, panting beneath Ye Chen like a kitten.

"Hey, I said, weren't you so reserved and aloof during the day? What's gotten into you like this now?"

Ye Chen looked at the Heavenly Maiden and said.

The celestial maiden glanced at him and said, "I told you, that is the very essence of the Great Vow of Vidyadhara, it is my form, but it is also not my form, do you understand?"

Ye Chen seemed to understand but not quite, and said, "Alright, anyway, you are my woman."

The celestial maiden grunted and said nothing more, only letting out a soft moan from her throat.

The battle raged until dawn. The celestial maiden fell into a deep sleep, but Ye Chen remained wide awake.

The sky before dawn was deep and dark. Looking up, one could vaguely see the yin and yang energies floating, and the outline of a new continent was faintly visible.

That is Yin Yang Heavenly Continent.

Ye Chen thought to himself, "The Starry Sky Dao Book and the Heavenly Emperor Dragon Emperor Body have both become Heavenly Pillars. Now that I'm going to Yin Yang Heavenly Continent, I've lost two trump cards, so I have to be more cautious."

Although he possessed various divine powers, he was easily suppressed.

Especially on Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent, there is a terrifying specialty called the Yin-Yang Sacrifice Stone, which can directly suppress divine authority, so Ye Chen has to be on guard.

Besides divine authority, he must prepare other trump cards to save his life.

Ren Feifan had to stay at Jiucang Academy, so naturally he couldn't accompany him.

The celestial maiden, however, had to look after both the goddess of beauty and Su Yunli, so she naturally couldn't accompany him.

As for the Heavenly Mother Goddess, she also has to manage the Rainbow Rain Temple on her behalf, so she can't spare any time for that.

Of course, Ye Chen didn't expect them to take care of him; he was already capable of handling things on his own.

Sitting cross-legged, Ye Chen sensed his body. The most valuable thing in his body at present was undoubtedly the Corona Dzi Bead.

This bead, brilliant and dazzling, is clearly a powerful trump card.

Ye Chen then looked inward at the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation Kingdom. In the sky above the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation Kingdom, a huge yin-yang disc was hanging.

Under the illumination of this yin-yang disc, even the sun and moon pale in comparison.

This is the manifestation of the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Dao. If this disc were to fall, it would be enough to instantly destroy the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation Kingdom, along with Ye Chen.

The Starry Sky Pillar and the Coiled Dragon Sky Pillar support the sky, preventing the disc from falling.

Looking at the Yin-Yang disc, Ye Chen could clearly feel the terrifying and powerful energy within it, with the aura of the Great Dao surging and abundant.

"Although this thing is dangerous, the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Dao itself can also provide me with tremendous assistance."
