Chapter 12542 What's there to fear!

Chapter 12542 What's there to fear!

Ye Chen had already begun cultivating the Qian character technique, and even comprehended it in an instant.

Ye Chen has mastered the word formulas passed down from the Yin-Yang Dao, including the Mutual Formula, the Heaven Formula, and the Chaos Formula. Among them, the Heaven Formula also contains the mystery of "Heaven".

This Qian character formula can be considered a super-enhanced version of the Tian character formula!

With the foundation of the Heavenly Technique, it was naturally very easy for Ye Chen to cultivate the Qian Technique.

However, the Qian character technique is a super-enhanced version, too grand and powerful. It relates to the ultimate Yin-Yang Dao, and requires a matching internal energy cultivation method to resolve the pressure of the Dao and the potential backlash in order to succeed.

Without the corresponding mental cultivation method, forcibly practicing the Qian character technique will inevitably lead to qi deviation and demonic possession.

Ye Chen cultivated the Qian character technique and comprehended its mysteries. In an instant, he felt an inescapable karmic fire burning his body, comparable to a cataclysmic calamity that would consume the heavens.

This is the negative backlash caused by forcibly practicing the Qian character technique!

He's going mad!
"not good!"

"Ye Chen, stop!"

Upon seeing this, Haotian Lanshen's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that even with Ye Chen's comprehension and foundation, he wouldn't be able to resolve the negative effects of the Qian character technique and would also fall into a state of demonic possession.

Seeing Ye Chen's eyes wide open, his hair standing on end, and his body wreathed in crimson flames, clearly indicating that he was about to suffer a qi deviation, he immediately unleashed the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, intending to forcibly sever the causal link between them.

"No need, senior!"

"You won't go astray from your cultivation."

"At least not now!"

Ye Chen raised his hand to stop Haotian Lan Shen. Despite feeling the negative impact of the Qian Word Technique, he remained calm, clenching his fist and gritting his teeth as he shouted.
"The Great Way of Time, a harbinger of future doom!"

Chains of laws from the Great Dao of Time appeared around Ye Chen like an inverted waterfall, swirling with boundless divine light.

The next instant, an astonishing scene unfolded. All the karmic flames on Ye Chen's body subsided, and the Yin-flaming tribulation fire brought about by the demonic possession of the Qian Character Technique vanished in an instant.

Ye Chen's bloodshot eyes returned to normal, and an incredible burst of crystal-clear light erupted from his body.

"This is……"

Haotian Lanshen stared at Ye Chen in utter astonishment. Just now, Ye Chen was cultivating the Qian character technique and was clearly about to suffer a qi deviation, but now, all the tribulation fires that would lead to qi deviation had actually been quelled. This was simply unbelievable.

No, it's not about calming things down, it's about shifting the blame.

Ye Chen transferred her to the future!
"Senior, I succeeded."

"I have mastered the Qian character technique."

"Although it's like robbing Peter to pay Paul, at least the wall won't collapse."

Ye Chen clenched his fist, feeling his own power increase significantly, and smiled.

Just now, he actually used the Time Divine Path, once again using the method of diverting calamity, to bring the negative effects of cultivating the Qian Character Technique into the future!
This future is the future of the Divine Illumination Realm!

If Ye Chen were to enter the Divine Illumination Realm in the future, the negative calamity of the Qian Character Technique would immediately be triggered!

But as long as he doesn't step into the Divine Illumination Realm and continues to maintain his Abyss Realm cultivation, this negative calamity, this seed of disaster, will not explode!
The seeds of disaster sown by the Qian character formula are much easier to resolve than the seeds of disaster sown at the end of the world.

Ye Chen is robbing Peter to pay Paul, using loans to pay off other loans!
What if the final evil is about to explode?
Then let's practice the Qian character technique!
Qian represents Heaven. At this moment, Ye Chen has mastered the Qian technique, and a boundless crystal radiance emanates from his body, piercing through the infinite and diverse starry sky and bursting outwards.

Outside, the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor, Xiao He Gu, Zhu Xingjun, Qi Tianjun, and many disciples of the Dao Asking Sect and the Dao Slaughtering Sect were all guarding the Heavenly Questioning Chessboard.

Everyone was at a loss, Ye Chen had entered the Heavenly Chess Game, and they had been discussing it for more than ten days, but still did not know how to solve it.

Even now, Ye Chen has mastered the Qian character technique, and its dazzling brilliance is like the purest heavenly light, bursting out from the chessboard and even breaking through this Yin-Yang star sea, shooting straight into the outside sky.

Above the Yin-Yang Star Sea, Ancestor Tianwen had long ago set up a sword formation and also laid down the law of cause and effect.

As soon as Ye Chen's Qian character technique's heavenly light burst forth, the enormous Yin-Yang Divine Sword immediately activated and slashed down. The divine sword was vast and powerful, but it could not sever Ye Chen's light.

"Is this... the light of the Qian character technique?"

"How can it be!"

When Master Tianwen saw this scene, he was completely stunned, and his face showed a huge shock.

He wasn't surprised that Ye Chen possessed the cultivation method for the Qian character technique, after all, Ye Chen had thoroughly looted the treasure trove of the Star Sea Yin Yang Palace.

However, if one only has the external cultivation method without the corresponding internal energy cultivation technique, forcibly practicing the Qian character technique will inevitably lead to qi deviation and death.

But now, looking at that crystal-clear sky that soars straight into the sky, where is there any sign of him going astray or being trapped in sin?
Ye Chen, who was inside the Heavenly Chessboard, felt his cultivation barrier being broken through in an instant. Without fierce fighting, the moment he mastered the Qian Character Technique, nothing could stop him. His cultivation level broke through to the peak of the seventh level of the Abyss Realm!

He felt that he was "the sky", and his body became vast and lofty.

The ocean embraces all rivers; its vastness lies in its inclusiveness.

The ocean is already a symbol of vastness, but the sky is deeper, more magnificent, and more great than the sea!
Ye Chen mastered the Qian character technique, which allowed him to transform into the heavens, instantly boosting his body's inclusiveness to an unprecedented level.

The seed of the final calamity has not yet been eliminated, but it is no longer fatal.

Because Ye Chen is already "heaven".

He relied on the vast inclusiveness of his body to withstand the explosion of the calamity seed. Even if the seed really exploded, he would not die. At most, his cultivation would drop and he would lose some divine authority.

Although the consequences are severe, at least it saves lives.

This is the effect of the Qian character formula!
"Robbing Peter to pay Paul... You've really messed up the entire timeline."

Haotian Lanshen praised, having also figured out the trick.

The seed of final calamity is about to explode, what should we do? Then we should cultivate the Qian character technique.

To rob Peter to pay Paul.

However, practicing the Qian character technique will also have side effects and backlashes.

That's just repeating the same old trick, continuing to divert trouble into the future.

In this way, Ye Chen could master the Qian character technique without any side effects, thus resolving the fatal nature of the final calamity.

As for the side effects of the Qian character technique, although they are also serious, they are definitely not as serious as the final calamity.

Furthermore, the future that Ye Chen is guiding is not the future on the ordinary timeline, but the future in terms of cultivation realm.

He planted the seeds of disaster in the future Divine Illumination Realm through the Qian Character Technique.

When he advances to the Divine Illumination Realm, the seeds of disaster will be sown.

But as long as there's no promotion, nothing will happen.

This method is simply unbelievable.

Even Haotian Lan Shen never expected that the Great Dao of Time could be manipulated in this way.

This is also the seed of disaster of the Qian character technique. It is not as terrible as the seed of the final disaster, and Ye Chen has more room to maneuver.

Regardless, this method of robbing Peter to pay Paul truly amazed Haotian Lanshen, leaving him utterly shocked.

This is a technique that transcends martial arts and supernatural powers, and has already involved changes in the fundamental laws of the world.

"Lord of Reincarnation, you have actually mastered the Qian Character Technique! It's truly unbelievable!"

"Come out, I won't kill you."

At this moment, the voice of the Heavenly Question Ancestor reached Ye Chen's ears from the outside world.

Originally, due to the barrier of the infinitely diverse universe, external sounds could not reach the inside of the chessboard.

However, Ye Chen's Qian character technique was too grand, piercing through the endless starry sky, and its light even reached the outside world.

The light emanating from the Qian character technique served as an anchor point. With the cultivation level of Ancestor Tianwen, he could roughly pinpoint Ye Chen's location by following this light and transmit his voice directly.

However, despite the message being relayed, the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor did not actually descend with his men.

After all, the world inside the Heavenly Chess Game is too vast and dangerous, and it would be extremely perilous to descend there rashly.

"You called me out?"

Ye Chen smiled.

At this moment, Ancestor Tianwen stood outside with his hands behind his back, looking at the chessboard, and said, "Yes, come out, everything is negotiable."

Upon hearing these words from Ancestor Tianwen, Xiao He and the disciples of the Daoist Sect were all taken aback.

The disciples of the Lu Dao Sect became even more vigilant.

Zhu Xingjun said, "Uncle-Master Tianwen, do you intend to spare the Lord of Reincarnation?"

The tone of the Heavenly Inquiry Master clearly indicated a sense of relaxation, suggesting he did not intend to completely eliminate Ye Chen.

This is also the way of the Daoist sect. The Daoist sect generally does not drive people to a dead end, but rather adopts a cooperative attitude in seeking the Dao, and will not easily kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Ancestor Tianwen narrowed his eyes and said, "The Lord of Reincarnation is an extraordinary talent. He was able to comprehend the Qian character technique on his own. Such a genius cannot be easily eliminated."

Zhu Xingjun said, "You want to let him go? Senior Brother Yunzhou and Senior Brother Tiemu both died because of him. This boy must not be allowed to live!"

"He is indeed a genius, but as long as we kill him and devour him, all his talent, comprehension, and intelligence will be ours!"

As a member of the Lu Dao Sect, Zhu Xingjun only wanted to kill Ye Chen and take everything from him.

Master Tianwen shook his head and said, "No, no one can handle such a dazzling genius."

He gazed at the still-shining crystalline light of the Qian character incantation, his eyes filled with admiration and wonder, and then loudly transmitted his voice:
"Lord of Reincarnation, emerge!"

"I told you, I won't kill you!"

As he spoke, Ancestor Tianwen waved his hand, retrieving the Yin-Yang Divine Swords that were floating above the Yin-Yang Star Sea, and also dispelling the sword formation that had sealed off the ocean.

This is to show sincerity.

Ye Chen sensed the sincerity of Ancestor Tianwen, but he was still somewhat skeptical, and said:
You're just going to let me go like that?

"What are your plans regarding the Slaughtering Dao Sect?"

Even if Ancestor Tianwen were willing to let him go, Ancestor Tingyou would definitely not let it go so easily.

Ancestor Tianwen smiled slightly and said, "You have seized the Star Sea Destiny Orbit Disc, so naturally you cannot give up easily."

"Join my Dao Seeking Sect, and I will protect you."

Hearing the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor's offer of enlistment, Ye Chen was somewhat surprised: "You want me to join the Dao Seeking Sect?"

Master Tianwen replied, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Lu Dao Sect were immediately in an uproar.

Zhu Xingjun stepped forward and asked, "Uncle-Master Tianwen, how do you recruit enemies into your ranks?"

Qitianjun also said, "Yes, Uncle-Master, you pardoned the Lord of Reincarnation and even recruited him into your sect. Isn't this a slap in the face to my Ludao Sect? Are you going to break ties with my Ludao Sect from top to bottom?"

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor remained calm and composed, smiling as he said, "I have no interest in the conflicts of the human heart; I only wish to seek the Dao."

"And the Lord of Reincarnation is the greatest of the Dao!"

After a pause, he transmitted his voice to Ye Chen again.

"Lord of Reincarnation, rest assured, I know you don't want to rashly join my Dao Seeking Sect, lest you incur karmic debts."

“I can compromise. You only need to be a nominal disciple. I will not trouble you with the many affairs of my Daoist Sect. I only want to discuss the Dao with you.”

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor was very frank; he recruited Ye Chen into his sect simply because he wanted to discuss the Dao with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's heart stirred. He had already offended the Lu Dao Sect. If he were to offend the Dao Wen Sect as well, he would indeed find it difficult to move an inch in the Yin Yang Heavenly Continent.

His feud with the Lu Dao Sect was irreconcilable. After all, two of Ancestor Ting You's disciples, Yun Zhou Jun and Tie Mu Jun, had died because of him, and the accumulated resentment was immense, leaving them with no choice but to face each other in life or death.

However, regarding the Daoist sect, the grudges between the two sides are not significant, with only the conflict over the Star Sea Destiny Plate.

If Ye Chen becomes a disciple of the Dao Asking Sect, then the conflict over the Star Sea Fate Orbit Plate can naturally be resolved, and Ancestor Tianwen will no longer pursue the matter.

However, joining the Dao Seeking Sect adds a layer of karmic entanglement to one's life, and whether the future holds blessings or curses is hard to say.

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor then asked, "You still have a seed of trouble within you that hasn't been resolved, have you?"

"If you join the Dao Seeking Sect, I will try to handle things for you."

Upon hearing these words from Ancestor Tianwen, Ye Chen's heart stirred once more. He recalled that at the very beginning, he had used the Star Sea Fate Plate to calculate that the key to breaking the deadlock was Ancestor Tianwen!

Could it be that the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor is so powerful that he can even resolve the seeds of the final calamity?
It should be noted that although Ye Chen has now mastered the Qian character technique, the seed of ultimate calamity has not yet been eliminated.

However, since he wields the Qian character technique, his own tolerance has greatly increased, allowing him to forcibly withstand the explosion of the calamity seed by relying on the mysteries of the Qian Heavenly Divine Path.

But without a doubt, if the End of Calamity were to explode, he would not die, but he would be seriously injured, his cultivation level would inevitably drop, and even some of his pillar god authority might be annihilated.

If the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor truly has a way to solve this, that would be the best outcome.

"Agree to his request. Although joining the Dao Seeking Sect will incur a huge karmic burden, you won't suffer any losses, whether you look at the present or the future."

Haotianlan Shinto.

He also agreed to let Ye Chen join the Dao Seeking Sect. He didn't need to become a formal disciple; just having his name attached as a nominal disciple would be enough.

Ye Chen was already tempted, and upon hearing that Haotian Lanshen had also agreed, he nodded and transmitted his voice to Ancestor Tianwen:

"Grandmaster Tianwen, I will join the Dao Seeking Sect and become your disciple!"

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor was overjoyed and said, "Good! Please come out, Lord of Reincarnation."

He only wanted to discuss the Dao with Ye Chen immediately and didn't want to wait a moment longer.

Ye Chen then summoned the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, broke a seal, and flew the sword to cleave the sky, creating a rift in the endless starry sky.

To outsiders, this was the chessboard of questioning the heavens, now with a crack cut into it—a truly astonishing sight.

The sharpness of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword is so great that even the infinitely diverse universe cannot withstand a single strike.

Then, a beam of crystal light flew out from the crack in the chessboard, and a figure appeared—it was Ye Chen.

At this moment, Ye Chen's cultivation level was only at the peak of the seventh level of the Abyss Realm, but his whole body was surrounded by a layer of crystal divine light. That was the celestial light phenomenon of the Qian Character Technique, which had not yet dissipated, making Ye Chen look like the vast, distant, boundless, and unattainable sky.

Zhu Xingjun, Qi Tianjun, and a group of Lu Daozong disciples, all of whom were holding swords and knives, thought that as soon as Ye Chen appeared, they would tear him to pieces with a flurry of blows.

But when they saw Ye Chen's boundless and magnificent aura, as vast as the sky, everyone was stunned. They felt as insignificant as mayflies looking at the blue sky. For a moment, everyone stood still, forgetting to go forward and fight.

In fact, many of the disciples of the Lu Dao Sect present were more powerful than Ye Chen, especially Zhu Xingjun and Qi Tianjun. In terms of strength, Ye Chen would probably not be their match even without activating his divine authority.

But at this moment, Ye Chen's aura of the Great Dao and the aura of Heaven were so immense that no one dared to make a move.

Master Tianwen's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands repeatedly in praise:

"good very good!"

"Lord of Reincarnation, your grandeur of the Great Dao is truly unprecedented!"

"Let's go and discuss the principles!"

He grabbed Ye Chen's arm and was about to leave.

Zhu Xingjun and Qi Tianjun seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly stood in front of the two.

Zhu Xingjun said, "Uncle-Master, you mustn't!"

Qitianjun also said in a deep voice, "If you want to take away the Lord of Reincarnation, you'll have to kill us first!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xiao He also reminded him:

"Senior brother, think it over. If you want to protect the Lord of Reincarnation, you will have to completely break ties with the Slaughtering Dao Sect."

Although there has been constant conflict between the Dao Asking Sect and the Dao Slaughtering Sect within the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect, both sides have maintained their bottom lines and have not truly broken ties. In important matters, they still prioritize the interests of their respective sects.

For example, when the Dao Asks the Way Sect was about to hold the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects, the Slaughtering Dao Sect did not obstruct or disrupt it.

But if Ancestor Tianwen really wants to protect Ye Chen, then it's hard to say.

Master Tianwen laughed heartily, stroked his non-existent beard, and said:
"I seek only the Way; even if it means making enemies of the whole world, what is there to fear?"
