Chapter 12543 Refining the Wheel

Chapter 12543 Refining Reincarnation
"I seek only the Way; even if it means making enemies of the whole world, what is there to fear?"

As he spoke, Tianwen gently waved his hand, and a gentle force repelled Zhuxingjun and Qitianjun.

Then, he grabbed Ye Chen's arm, leaped into the air, and instantly broke through the ocean with a splash, emerging from the seawater with Ye Chen.

"Old Taoist Tianwen, if you dare to protect the Lord of Reincarnation, I'll fight you to the death!"

As soon as the two emerged from the sea, they heard an extremely venomous and angry voice coming from afar.

But it was the voice of Master Youzu.

Ye Chen is the greatest enemy of the Lu Dao Sect, how could Ancestor Ting You let him go?

Ancestor Tianwen laughed loudly and said, "Tingyou, you should focus on healing your injuries."

"I will only discuss the Dao with the Lord of Reincarnation and will not interfere in your disputes. After the discussion is over, if you want to kill him, I will not stop you."

He paused, then glanced at Ye Chen again. "Of course, before that, I will send the Lord of Reincarnation away first."

He did this to reassure Ye Chen that he would protect him until Ye Chen successfully left Yin Yang Tian Zhou.

As for Ye Chen's future after leaving Yin Yang Tian Zhou, he would not interfere.

He only wanted to discuss the Dao with Ye Chen and resolve some of his inner doubts.

Once all the laws are understood, Ye Chen's life or death will be of no concern to him.

He also believed that with Ye Chen's dazzling talent and brilliant destiny, he would not fall easily.

Master Tingyou was furious and shouted, "You dare to protect the Lord of Reincarnation today! When your Wentian Sect holds the Ten Thousand Sects Conference in the future, I will make you regret it!"

He was injured at the time and unable to contend with the Heavenly Question Ancestor, so he could only threaten him with words, hoping to make the other party back down.

But the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor simply smiled, showing no sign of backing down, and said calmly:
"Tingyou, there's no need for further words. Farewell."

As he spoke, he flicked out a flying sword, carrying Ye Chen, and rode the wind and waves towards the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect's mountain gate.

"hateful!"

"Tianwen, you will regret this!"

"Lord of Reincarnation, I will surely kill you!"

The sound of Master Tingyou's fury shook the entire Yin-Yang Star Sea.

Ancestor Tianwen pretended not to hear and quickly led Ye Chen away from the Yin-Yang Star Sea.

Ye Chen remained silent, pondering the future.

He has offended the Lu Dao Sect, and his future days will certainly not be easy, but at least for now, with the protection of Ancestor Tianwen, he doesn't have to worry about his safety.

"Senior Tianwen, where are you taking me?"

Ye Chen composed himself and then asked.

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor said, "Go to the gate of my Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect, I want to discuss the Dao with you."

Seeing his excited appearance, Ye Chen said, "Senior, if we really want to discuss the Dao, I'm afraid it won't be over in a day or two."

“I am still burdened with the seeds of the end times. Please resolve these seeds first, and then we can discuss the Way.”

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor narrowed his eyes, chuckled, and said, "You shouldn't have swung that sword. Now you're suffering the backlash. Do you know you were wrong?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I have no regrets."

Ye Chen would naturally have no regrets about killing Yu Shen and protecting Xi Yue.

After a pause, Ye Chen continued, "Let's not talk about that, senior. Please take action first to resolve the calamity within me."

The Heavenly Questioning Patriarch said, "I have no way."

Ye Chen was taken aback and said, "No, didn't you say there was a way to resolve this?"

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor himself said that there was a way to avert the final calamity.

Master Tianwen laughed and said, "Let me finish. I have no way to help you, but Ming Zhaojun of the End God Temple does."

Ye Chen asked, "Ming Zhaojun?"

Ancestor Tianwen said, "Yes, he is my friend. Lord Liye once wanted to kill him, but I saved him. He owes me a life."

"Although there are many conflicts between my Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect and the End God Temple in terms of their understanding of the Great Dao, both sides have lost many people in the struggle for some Dao Crystal mines."

"But I have a fairly good personal relationship with Ming Zhaojun, and he has always wanted to repay the debt of karma."

“I can ask him to take action and avert your ultimate calamity.”

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Does he have a way?"

He never expected that the Heavenly Question Ancestor and the people of the End God Temple also had a connection.

However, he didn't quite believe that the Underworld Queen could avert the backlash of the end.

After all, even Haotian Lanshen and Tianwen Zushi themselves had no way to deal with it.

"Yes, he has a magic weapon called the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron, which is one of the Ten Great Dao Artifacts and can refine all things."

"If he activates the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron, and with the special ley lines of the Temple of the End, plus my assistance, it won't be difficult for him to resolve your doomsday calamity."

The seed of calamity within Ye Chen's body is extremely terrifying. It is difficult to resolve with just the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron, but with the help of the Earth Vein Power of the Temple of the End and the assistance of Ancestor Tianwen, it is sufficient.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to Emo Island, where Ming Zhaojun is located.”

Without wasting any words, the Heavenly Question Ancestor changed direction and flew towards the Temple of the End.

He also knew that Ye Chen was still burdened with the seed of the final calamity, so even if he wanted to discuss the Dao, he probably wouldn't be able to calm down.

If he wants to discuss the Dao with Ye Chen, he must first eliminate that seed of ultimate calamity.

Ye Chen proceeded step by step without resistance, thinking that he might be able to see Feng Qingxue and Xiyue and her daughter again when he went to the Temple of the End, and a sense of anticipation rose in his heart.

As the Heavenly Question Ancestor flew across the sky above Tianzhou on his sword, Ye Chen stood silently behind him, when he suddenly sensed a familiar aura emanating from the ground.

He looked down and saw a group of people walking in the mountains. The leader was carrying a long sword and his whole body exuded a cold and sharp sword aura. It was Shen Lian, the master of Shenbing Manor.

"Shen Lian!"

Ye Chen was quite surprised to see Shen Lian, not expecting that Shen Lian had also come to Yin Yang Heavenly Continent.

Shen Lian seemed to sense something and looked up. He saw the trajectory of the flying sword in the sky and immediately spotted Ye Chen. He murmured, "The Lord of Reincarnation."

His voice was filled with wariness and resentment.

"Oh, are you the master of Shenbing Manor?"

When the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor saw Shen Lian, his eyes lit up, but then he shook his head and said...

"Unfortunately, his mind is too chaotic, so it is not advisable to discuss the Dao with him."

His tone was quite regretful.

Ye Chen thought to himself, "Shen Lian hasn't even resolved the Emperor's rebellion yet; it would be strange if his Dao heart wasn't disturbed."

"Is Shen Lian also here for the Star Sea Fate Orbit Disc? However, he's a bit late," Ye Chen said.

He currently controls the Starry Sea Destiny Orbit Disc, which has even been forged into a pillar of destiny. Anyone who wants to take it will have to kill him first.

Ancestor Tianwen stared at Shen Lian for a while and said, "I don't think so. He must have something else in mind."

Ye Chen asked, "Is there another plan?"

Ancestor Tianwen shook his head again, not wanting to delve deeper, and smiled and said, "Never mind him. Lord of Reincarnation, I will take you to Emo Island first to see Ming Zhaojun and ask him to help you resolve the seed of the end times."

With that, he flicked his finger, sending out a ray of golden light that sent a message forward.

"it is good."

Ye Chen nodded. The most urgent task was to resolve the final calamity.

In less than a day, Ancestor Tianwen took Ye Chen and flew to the territory of the Temple of the End on his sword.

At this moment, he had already used the Concealing Breath Technique to completely conceal his and Ye Chen's auras to avoid trouble.

Looking around, Ye Chen saw that the territory of the Temple of the End was very vast, a large expanse of black land. There were many dark and ancient palaces on the land, and many islands floated under the gloomy sky covered with gray haze.

Crows and vultures circled overhead, adding to the desolate atmosphere.

Stepping into this territory, Ye Chen felt a chill, and a strange shiver ran through his bones, as if he were prey stepping into a tiger's den.

In the darkness, he sensed the emotions of the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss.

That was fear!
Even the mighty beginning and the abyss are subject to fear, and that is the end!
Both supreme beings fear the coming of the end.

They are the embodiment of the will of Yin and Yang throughout the universe, one belonging to Yin and the other to Yang.

The will of Yin and Yang can be crushed and destroyed.

When the end comes, both Yin and Yang will perish.

Only the end itself is eternal and indestructible!

Everything that exists may die, may be terminated.

Even death itself will vanish into nothingness.

But the end will not disappear; it is the ultimate form of all things in the heavens, nothingness, nothingness, just like the manifestation of the rudimentary law of the end, where even "nothingness" does not exist.

By mastering the laws of the end, one can create an eternal world; being the end itself, one can control the life and death of all things.

Ye Chen sensed the fear of the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss. It was their fear that triggered the Great Dao, thus creating the Temple of the End and giving rise to this territory.

He saw the occasional humanoid figures of demons appearing on the ground, which looked like demon gods from beyond the world.

"It seems that when Yin Yang Heavenly Continent was born, something from outside the world was mixed in."

Ye Chen muttered to himself, having roughly glimpsed some of the cause and effect. Yin Yang Heavenly Continent was a new continent, yet it contained many things even more ancient than the other side of the starry sky.

Those ancient artifacts all came from beyond the world!
Something from beyond this world has been mixed into Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent.

"Ignore it, I'll take you to see Ming Zhaojun first."

The Heavenly Question Ancestor ignored the demons on the ground and took Ye Chen with him, flying on his sword towards a distant floating island.

"The Temple of the End has eight branch temples. The branch temple where Ming Zhaojun resides is called the End Light Heaven."

“I’ve already explained it to him, and he’s willing to help you.”

Ye Chen hummed in agreement, his gaze sweeping across the territory of the Temple of the End, trying to detect the presence of Xi Yue and Feng Qingxue. However, this place was filled with mysterious laws and a trace of energy fluctuations from beyond the world, making it extremely chaotic, and he couldn't see anything.

Before long, Ancestor Tianwen took Ye Chen and flew on his sword to a floating island in front of them.

The island was bathed in a radiance deeper than twilight, a light containing a trace of the laws of the end times, even the sky was a hazy yellow.

The End of Light!
This is one of the eight major branches of the Temple of the End, an island in the Land of Light.

"Ming Zhaojun, a disciple of the True Lineage of Mo Guangtian, greets Ancestor Tianwen and Lord of Reincarnation."

As soon as Ye Chen and Ancestor Tianwen stepped onto the island, a gentle voice rang out.

A tall, upright man came out to greet them, accompanied by several attendants.

The man had his eyes covered with black silk, so it was unclear whether he was blind or not, but he had a noble air about him and a deep, majestic presence.

It was none other than Ming Zhaojun.

Ye Chen saw that Ming Zhaojun was surrounded by an aura like dusk, very similar to the calamity of dusk, but much more profound. It originated from dusk, yet surpassed dusk, and would eventually bury dusk. This was the End of Light.

"Nice to meet you."

Ye Chen clasped his hands in a respectful but not arrogant manner.

Ming Zhaojun smiled slightly and said, "It's a pity that I was born blind, and with the lingering light surrounding me, even my mind is blind. It's truly a regret that I can't see the true face of the Lord of Reincarnation."

Ye Chen didn't know how to respond, so he remained silent.

Ming Zhaojun laughed again, "In my Temple of the End, many people regard you as a usurper, but I am of low status and have not yet explained many great principles, so I will not get involved."

"Since it was Ancestor Tianwen who brought you here, Lord of Reincarnation, please rest assured, I will do my best to help you resolve the calamity."

Master Tianwen chuckled and said, "Ming Zhaojun, you are too modest. You are, after all, one of the eight true disciples."

Ming Zhaojun shook her head and said, "Among the eight true disciples, Ni Changjun and I are ranked last. Compared with the top true disciples, we are not worth mentioning."

"For example, Li Yejun could kill me with a single sword strike!"

When he spoke of Li Yejun, his tone was quite cautious.

Ye Chen's heart also tightened. He had witnessed Li Yejun's power when he was fighting for the Fragment of Frenzied Devouring in the Reverse World Demon Ruins.

At that time, it was the Blood Phoenix Emperor who spoke, calling on Li Yejun to take action, and then a beam of final sword light descended from the sky.

If Ye Chen hadn't just forged the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword at that time, he probably would have been killed by Li Yejun.

Even a powerful figure like the Blood Phoenix Emperor had to show deference to Lord Li Ye.

Even the Lord of the Asura Prison among the Eight Underworld Gods has pledged allegiance to Lord Li Ye and become his servant.

It's easy to imagine how powerful this Lord Li Ye is.

The difference in strength between the eight true disciples of the Temple of the End is extremely large.

Even though the lowest-ranking Ni Changjun and Ming Zhaojun are incredibly powerful compared to ordinary geniuses, they are still far inferior to top-tier true disciples like Li Yejun.

If a real fight breaks out, he can't even withstand a single sword strike!
"There's no time to lose, Lord of Reincarnation, please come with me, and I will avert the final calamity for you!"

Ming Zhaojun was very straightforward and didn't waste any words. She then asked the Heavenly Ancestor, "..."

“Master, if I help you this time, then the karma between us will be wiped clean.”

He owed Master Tianwen a life, and today is the time to repay that debt.

Master Tianwen smiled and said, "Of course."

Ming Zhaojun nodded and led Ye Chen and Tianwen Ancestor into the island, heading deeper into the island.

Ye Chen watched Ming Zhaojun's retreating figure, and for some reason, he felt uneasy, thinking:

"Am I just imagining things? I have this feeling that this Ming Zhaojun wants to help me, but also wants to harm me."

Just as they were pondering this, they entered the center of Emo Island. Under the dim yellow sky, they saw a large cauldron floating, ancient and mysterious, with interwoven runes and surrounded by Dao energy.

Ming Zhaojun pointed to the large cauldron and said to Ye Chen, "This is my magic weapon, the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron. I am grateful to my master for bestowing this artifact upon me. Otherwise, with my meager cultivation, how could I possibly wield such a great treasure?"

Ye Chen looked at the great cauldron in the sky. He saw that the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron was surrounded by Dao energy, and inside the cauldron, a Yin-Yang divine light was boiling like water. Beneath the cauldron were many vengeful spirits of demons and gods, howling mournfully as they were used as firewood. The vengeful spirits were burning, becoming fuel for the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron.

"Lord of Reincarnation, you may enter."

"My Innate Soul Refining Cauldron can refine all things. Combined with the earth vein power of my Emo Island, and with the assistance of Ancestor Tianwen, it is enough to resolve your ultimate calamity."

"We'd better hurry, because Junior Sister Ni Chang also asked me to borrow a magic weapon. It seems she also has something that needs to be refined."

"I'll help you first, then I'll lend her the magic weapon."

Ming Zhaojun urged Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's heart stirred. Did Ni Changjun want to borrow the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron?
Is it refining the God of the Universe?

After all, Yu Shen's body had been taken away by Ni Chang Jun.

Master Tianwen urged, "Lord of Reincarnation, time is of the essence. We must hurry. I cannot linger here for too long, or I will be discovered."

As Ye Chen listened to Ming Zhaojun and Tianwen Ancestor's urging, a strange sense of unease rose in his heart.

The Innate Soul Refining Cauldron can refine all things. What if it refines him too?
Once inside this cauldron, can you climb out on your own?

"Ye Chen, go ahead and be brave! I'll protect you!"

Within the Reincarnation Graveyard, Haotian Lanshen was remarkably decisive and unafraid of any schemes.

His great courage also inspired Ye Chen.

Ye Chen hummed in agreement, and without saying another word, he leaped into the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron.

Hot, hot, hot!
Upon entering the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron, Ye Chen felt boundless heat and pain, as if he had jumped into a cauldron of boiling oil in hell. The heat penetrated directly to his spiritual level, and it felt as if everything about him was about to be refined away.

Ming Zhaojun shouted, "Lord of Reincarnation, you have channeled the refining power within the cauldron into the seed of calamity!"

As he spoke, he formed hand seals, casting spells onto the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron. The yin and yang divine light of the cauldron surged and boiled violently, and the demonic souls serving as fuel beneath the cauldron screamed in agony amidst the crackling flames.
