Chapter 12569 Extreme Yin

Chapter 12569 Extreme Yin
This disappearance is like a peaceful sleep, without pain, like water merging into water.

Because there is no pain and the process is so peaceful, it is difficult to guard against.

If he is not careful, Ye Chen will suffer the great calamity of light, truly become light, and disappear completely.

"It seems that the power of divine authority must be used with caution."

"It doesn't have the pain of the Heaven-Burning Calamity, but the Calamity of Light is even more deadly!"

Ye Chen remained secretly on guard.

Ni Changjun, holding Ye Chen with eyes full of infatuation, laughed and said, "You are indeed powerful and decisive. Even a genius like Xing Lanyin from another world was killed by you with a single sword strike."

She was delighted and felt even more admiration for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen held Ni Changjun in his arms and kissed her lips again, absorbing her vital energy to replenish his own. He smiled and said, "You said earlier that you wanted to cultivate with me. Does that still count?"

Ni Changjun's gaze shifted, and she said with a charming smile, "Of course it counts."

She knew that Ye Chen was currently exhausted and wanted to replenish his vital energy through the Yin-Yang dual cultivation method.

This dual cultivation of Yin and Yang also brought her immense benefits, so she naturally welcomed it immensely.

The two became entangled, oblivious to the world around them.

……

After the Yin-Yang combination ended, Ye Chen's cultivation level successfully rose to the peak of the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm, and the previous consumption had been made up.

This pool of water has plenty of yang energy. Ye Chen wanted to call Ji Siqing and Sun Yi over as well, but Ni Changjun was right next to them. If he called Ji Siqing and Sun Yi over, the scene would be a bit awkward.

Ye Chen then interrupted his inner thoughts and simply bathed and cultivated with Ni Changjun, absorbing the yang energy between heaven and earth and storing it deep in his dantian.

……

Two days later, the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects will officially begin.

Dang——dang——dang——

A melodious bell rang out, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

Then, an aged voice came from the mountaintop:
"All participants, please come to the top of the mountain."

Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he said to Ni Changjun, "The conference is about to begin."

For the past two days, Ni Changjun had been in close physical contact with Ye Chen, and she still seemed a little unsatisfied. She licked her lips and said:
"Yes, once the tournament begins, all participants will be randomly teleported to the Underworld, and we will get separated."

"However, hehe, now that we've had skin-to-skin contact, we should be able to sense each other's presence."

"After we are teleported to the Underworld, let's contact each other as soon as possible and cooperate."

This grand gathering of ten thousand sects is bound to be fraught with danger. Fighting alone is too risky, so Ni Changjun plans to cooperate with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Okay."

He was also interested in cooperating, after all, Ni Changjun was one of the eight true disciples of the End God Temple, and her nine fox tails represented the bloodline of the Nine Heavens Demon Fox, making her very powerful.

If he were to cooperate with her, Ye Chen would undoubtedly have an extra layer of protection for this conference.

The two got up from the pool, put on their clothes, and headed to the top of the mountain.

Ye Chen then contacted Ji Siqing and Sun Yi, and gathered the disciples of Jiu Cang Academy. The group then headed to the mountaintop in a grand procession.

When Ji Siqing and Sun Yi saw Ye Chen and Ni Changjun standing together, with Ni Changjun looking radiant, both women were taken aback and glanced at Ye Chen with a hint of helplessness.

This guy is out flirting with other women again.

However, the two women were used to it. Currently, only the goddess of love, Feng Qingxue, still couldn't accept Ye Chen's romantic entanglements.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, one sees a giant torch burning with golden, pure yang fire.

In front of the torch stood an old man dressed in the robes of an elder of the Yin Yang Divine Path Sect, surrounded by a dozen or so disciples maintaining order.

Ye Chen recognized the elder in front of the torch as none other than Jade Cauldron Immortal.

When he fought against Jiang Su, the Desolate Ghost Emperor, an old man from the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect descended to try to save Jiang Su.

That old man is none other than Master Yu Ding!

Master Yu Ding's eyes were like gemstones, gleaming with a sharp light, clearly indicating his powerful cultivation.

The participants in the Ten Thousand Sects Conference have arrived at the mountaintop one after another. The place is packed with people. Ye Chen glanced at it and estimated that there were probably over a million people!
All the renowned sects and families across the entire starry sky were invited to participate, making this Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects an unprecedented event with a million participants!
And this Yangfeng is truly majestic and vast. The summit can actually accommodate a million people, which shows how huge and magnificent this mountain is.

The mountaintop pierces the sky, penetrating the layer of fierce winds. The air here is thin, almost a vacuum, with howling winds and unbearably cold conditions that make it hard to breathe.

But the martial artists and cultivators who reached the mountaintop all appeared calm and composed, unafraid of the fierce winds and the cold.

Clearly, those invited to the Myriad Sects Conference are all geniuses from the Other Side of the Starry Sky and Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent, and are by no means ordinary people.

However, there are different kinds of geniuses. Geniuses like Ye Chen and Ni Changjun are top-tier and dazzling. Even in a dense crowd of millions, they can be spotted at a glance.

In addition, Ye Chen possessed a powerful aura, so ordinary martial artists dared not get too close to him, creating a wide-open area around him.

This is the aura cultivated after practicing the Qian character technique and combining it with the authority of the Azure Heaven Emperor; it is as vast, magnificent, and grand as the sky.

Ye Chen scanned the crowd and saw many familiar faces, such as Li Yejun, Ming Zhaojun, Li Ling, Mo Xiao, and the Corpse Abyss King whose arm he had previously severed, but whose arm had now been restored.

There were also some unfamiliar faces, but Ye Chen knew at a glance that they were no ordinary people and were definitely top-notch geniuses.

Like the true disciples of the Temple of the End, Feng Huangjun, Mo Yanjun, and others, Ye Chen had only heard of their names before but had never seen them. However, now, scanning the crowd and using his Heavenly Insight, he saw these top geniuses.

In addition, there were some geniuses from outside the world, whose auras were very subtle, like venomous snakes lurking in the crowd, but Ye Chen still spotted them at a glance.

"I never expected that so many geniuses would participate in this Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects."

"There are at least a dozen people who can compete with me."

"Winning the championship is really not easy!"

Ye Chen sighed inwardly. Although his current strength wasn't exactly heaven-defying, it was still quite formidable.

But scanning the crowd, he found that there were actually more than a dozen people who were qualified to compete with him.

It is easy to imagine how fierce the competition is in this Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects. It is a gathering of hidden talents and powerful individuals, including many powerful figures from outside the world and incarnations of pillar gods.

After all the contestants had arrived, Ren Feifan, Meishen, Su Yunli, Feng Wuyai, Hei Wangmu, Jin Yu Dijun and other powerful figures, along with the masters and guests from various sects, arrived one after another in the sky above Yangfeng Mountain under the guidance of Tianwen Ancestor, hovering and floating in the air.

Ye Chen looked towards the Nine Cang Academy's camp, where his friends and family cast encouraging glances at him. The Goddess of Beauty touched her belly and smiled at Ye Chen.

"No matter the outcome, you must return safely, Ye Chen. My daughter and I are waiting for you."

The goddess spoke softly through her voice.

She could already sense the gender of the baby in her belly; it was a girl.

"Ok!"

Ye Chen nodded solemnly. The competition in this Ten Thousand Sects Tournament was fierce. He wasn't 100% sure he would win, but returning safely and unscathed wouldn't be too difficult.

"Everyone..."

Master Yu Ding spoke, his gaze sweeping over the contestants present, and said...
"I am Jade Cauldron Immortal, an elder of the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect's Elder Council, and also a judge for this Ten Thousand Sects Conference."

"Now, I will explain the rules of this conference."

As he spoke, Master Yuding plucked a wisp of flame from the torch and flicked it into the sky with his finger.

laugh!
Flames shot into the sky, burning and exploding, and the sky underwent a strange change. The originally white sky turned somewhat black, like a deep starry sky, and twelve floating arenas appeared.

"These twelve floating arenas are forged from star minerals from beyond the world. This tournament plans to select forty-eight people to compete on these arenas."

Upon hearing Master Yuding's words, a commotion arose throughout the hall.

Out of a million participants, the difficulty of selecting the top 48 is unimaginable; it's truly a one-in-a-million chance.

"...The selection rules are very simple: you will enter the Yin Realm within one month to compete for the Pure Yang Flame."

"One month later, the forty-eight people who wield the most pure Yang fire will enter the finals and engage in the final arena battle."

Master Yu Ding pressed his hands into the torch, then suddenly raised it. The pure Yang fire inside the torch flew up completely, then transformed into millions of tiny sparks, all drifting towards the Yin Realm.

This pure yang fire is connected to the earth's veins. As long as the yang energy of the earth's veins remains, the pure yang fire will not be extinguished.

Millions of tiny, pure yang flames drifted into the yin realm, creating a rather magnificent scene.

Everyone watched and understood the rules.

The rules are simple: collect pure Yang fire. One month later, the forty-eight people with the most Yang fire will enter the finals!

"Elder, does it really need to take a whole month?"

someone asked.

The preliminary round lasted for a whole month, which was truly alarming.

From the top of Yangfeng Mountain, one can clearly see the location of the Yin Domain. The Yin Domain is shaped like a woman and is filled with a dark and malevolent aura.

If Yangfeng is a treasure land abundant with pure Yang spiritual energy, then Yinyu is a hell!
A gloomy, dark, and cold hell!

Even though they hadn't actually stepped inside, all the participants knew that the Yin Realm was extremely dangerous. Even staying there for two or three days and suffering from the backlash of Yin energy would be extremely dangerous, let alone staying for a month.

Moreover, this month is not just about lying down; one will also face various threats, including attacks from demons and ferocious beasts, as well as threats from other contestants.

Master Yu Ding sighed and said, "As you all know, the world is now filled with great light, which is a great calamity of light that can be called the end of the world. Once the calamity of light comes, we will all have to become light."

"Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of the world, the Abyss must be resurrected."

"Our faction intends to collect all kinds of dark hatred and killing energy to serve as materials for resurrecting the Abyss, so we have specially extended the duration of the conference."

"But please rest assured, everyone. Our sect has placed a large number of rare treasures in the Yin Realm. In addition, the Yin Realm itself also has many special products. If you go in and search for treasures, your trip will not be in vain."

"Even if we don't get a ranking in the end, we won't go home empty-handed."

In order to attract all the sects from all over the world to participate, the Myriad Sects Conference spared no expense, distributing a large number of rare treasures as rewards.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the Yin Domain and indeed saw many faint, shimmering points of light in the dark and gloomy area, which were presumably the location of the rare treasures.

This was also part of the Grand Assembly's plan; in order to seize rare treasures, the participants would inevitably fight and kill each other.

In this way, they can collect the negative energy of darkness and hatred to resurrect the Abyss.

This is a perfectly clear and open scheme, which everyone can see.

"Resurrecting the Abyss, can your sect control the Abyss?"

Some people have raised questions again.

After all, the Abyss is supreme, and how easy is it to control it?

Even the Black Queen Mother, who is regarded as a savior, did not dare to hope to resurrect the Abyss.

"Our school has its own methods, so you need not worry too much."

"Or, those of you who wish to revive the Abyss may try it yourselves."

"It is said by the Jade Cauldron Immortal."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Everyone knows that in order to maintain the balance of the world and avoid the coming of the Great Calamity of Light, the Abyss must be resurrected.

However, no one dared to actually do it.

Now it is a world of bright daylight, and anyone who attempts to revive the abyss will inevitably be punished by the light.

No one dared to gamble, and no one wanted to fight against the calamity of the bright future.

Even the Black Queen Mother wouldn't have this courage.

Of all the sects in the heavens, only the Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect has the courage.

The plan to revive the Abyss was proposed by Ancestor Tianwen. In Ancestor Tianwen's eyes, there was only the desire to seek the Dao.

In his pursuit of the Dao, he feared no divine punishment!

What Ye Chen cared about most was the Kun character technique!

He only wanted to obtain the Kun character technique so that he could use the Qian and Kun methods to revive the Heavenly Maiden!
"Elder Yu Ding, I heard that your sect is going to offer the Yin Yang Eight Characters Formula as the final reward. I wonder how we can obtain it?"

Ye Chen stepped forward and asked.

Jade Cauldron Immortal looked at Ye Chen, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "Is he the Daoist partner of the Perfect Goddess, the Azure Heaven Emperor?"

He recognized Ye Chen. Recently, Ye Chen's aura has been overwhelming, and his reputation has shaken the starry sky. He had also glimpsed Ye Chen's aura, but he had forgotten Ye Chen's identity as the Lord of Reincarnation and only thought that he was the incarnation of the Azure Heaven Emperor.

Ye Chen replied, "Yes."

Master Yu Ding laughed and said, "This Yin-Yang Eight Character Formula is the reward for the finals, to be shared among the top three."

"The champion chooses three characters first, the runner-up chooses three more, and the third-place winner gets the last two characters."

Ye Chen said, "I see, I understand now."

He thought to himself, "The champion will choose three characters first, and he must choose the characters Qian and Kun. If I want to get the Kun character technique, I must win the championship!"

Thinking this, Ye Chen suddenly felt much more pressure.

Winning second or third place is meaningless, because the most powerful "Qiankun" title will inevitably be taken by the champion!

He needs to win the championship to obtain the Kun character technique!

Among the crowd, someone murmured, "So it's going to be split among the top three? I thought the champion would take all the spots."

Upon hearing this, Master Yuding smiled slightly and said, "The Yin-Yang Eight-Character Formula represents the Yin-Yang Way of the entire world. Its power is extraordinary. No one in the world can cultivate all eight characters at the same time. Even our sect's Ancestor Tianwen and Ancestor Tingyou could not do it."

"Being able to master two or three words of the technique already makes one a top-tier genius."

He paused, then said gently, "Alright, everyone, please take out your Yin-Yang Tokens."

Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he took out a token engraved with the words "Yin Yang". This was given to him by the welcoming elder before entering Yang Peak.

The participants present also each took out their own "Yin-Yang Tokens".

Master Yu Ding said, "This Yin-Yang Token is connected to the earth's veins. When you enter the Yin Realm and want to sleep and rest, you can activate the token with your blood to obtain the protection of the earth's veins and avoid being disturbed by ferocious beasts and demons."

"However, this token can only be used once a day, and the protection of the earth veins can only last for a maximum of two hours."

"Moreover, the earth's veins can protect you from ferocious beasts, but not from enemies. You must be careful."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Clearly, the real threat to this grand gathering of ten thousand sects is not the ferocious beasts and demons, but the other participants.

Hell is other people!
Everyone felt the pressure of a life-or-death crisis, but no one said they wanted to quit.

Those who can come here are all geniuses from beyond the stars; there are no cowards among them.

Of the trillions upon trillions of people on the other side of the starry sky, the most outstanding geniuses below the Life Source Realm are the millions here.

Any one of these million people would be a dazzling star if released, and many of them are even the lords of their own star domains. None of them are ordinary people.

However, only a dozen or so people could catch Ye Chen's eye.

"Alright, I have explained the relevant rules and matters clearly."

"Next, please clear your minds, I will teleport you to the Yin Realm."

Master Yu Ding surveyed the entire area, uttered two sentences, and then released his spiritual energy, enveloping the entire area.

Everyone felt enveloped by a mysterious aura, which included not only the spiritual energy of Jade Cauldron Immortal himself, but also the aura from the earth's veins!
Faced with this aura, no one resisted it.

In fact, it's not far from Yangfeng to Yinyu.

However, to ensure fairness, Master Yu Ding randomly teleports people there.

Otherwise, if some powerful sect disciples stick together from the start, the weaker contestants will have no chance of survival.

Randomly entering the Yin Realm at least ensures fairness in the competition.

Ye Chen exchanged glances with Ni Changjun, Ji Siqing, and Sun Yi, and nodded to each other.

The group maintained a tacit understanding that once they entered the Netherworld, they would contact each other as soon as possible and unite.
