Chapter 12593 Beyond Saving

Chapter 12593 Beyond Saving
“I used to believe that the Great Way was solely based on law, but now it seems that's not the case. Weapons and magical artifacts are also part of the ‘Way’!”

"The biggest difference between humans and wild animals is that humans use tools!"

"A powerful weapon or magical artifact is also a 'Dao'!"

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor repeatedly praised him and shared his insights on the Great Dao.

Yin Shen and Tingyou Ancestor were stunned for a moment when they saw Tianwen Ancestor's smug and carefree appearance.

"Do you know, Tianwen, that we have already lost?"

"In the last moment, we lost."

"Your apprentice is dead."

The Yin spirit spoke in a low voice, full of annoyance and disappointment.

He hadn't expected Ye Chen to have such courage, daring to sacrifice the Demon Prison Star to create an independent small world, thereby circumventing the restrictions of the competition rules, unleashing astonishing power, and killing Gu Jiuge.

Actually, if we're going to argue about it, we could just say Ye Chen broke the rules.

But Ye Chen's sword strike was so powerful that Yin Shen felt his spirit had been completely shattered.

He was listless and exhausted, slumped in his chair, and really didn't want to argue anymore.

As for the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor, he was still immersed in the excitement of discovering a new Great Dao. Only after hearing the Yin God's words did he come to his senses slightly, but he didn't delve too deeply into it, saying:
"That's fate. It seems we're not destined to meet the Nine Yang True Roc. There's nothing we can do about it."

The Listening Master, standing to the side, said with a gloomy face, "Are we just going to let it go like this? Are we just going to let Emperor Ye win the championship like this?"

As the sect leader of the Lu Dao Sect, he was ruthless and at this moment wished he could tear Ye Chen to pieces.

After all, his disciple, Qitianjun, also died at Ye Chen's hands.

In this grand gathering of ten thousand sects, the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect lost two top geniuses, a truly enormous loss.

If we can control the abyss, this loss is acceptable.

However, the resurrected Abyss God was completely out of control.

Master Tingyou found it hard to accept this ending. He gripped the armrest of the chair so tightly that it cracked. He only regretted that his injuries had not yet healed. Even if he wanted to kill Ye Chen, he would not be a match for Ren Feifan and the others behind Ye Chen.

The Yin God waved his hand dejectedly and said, "Forget it, I'm not going to fight anymore. I need to rest."

The newborn was barely breathing; he had long wanted to rest.

Just like a newborn baby who sleeps most of the day.

The spirit of the underworld also wanted to sleep, and slept soundly in its vow of eternal slumber.

Seeing that the Yin Gods had accepted the outcome, but still dared not announce it easily, Master Yu Ding personally went to the floating island and asked Ancestor Tianwen:
"Master, are you going to declare Emperor Ye the champion?"

Ancestor Tianwen looked at Ye Chen with admiration in his eyes and said, "Well, let's announce it that way!"

"Ideally, we can repair our relationship with him, so that we might be able to borrow the Nine Yang True Roc if we need it in the future."

"Alright." Master Yuding nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "But who is the runner-up?"

Gu Jiuge was originally the runner-up, but since Gu Jiuge is dead, the runner-up title has to be decided again.

The Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects was the first grand event held by the Yin Yang Divine Path Sect, so naturally it had to have a beginning and an end.

The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor sighed and said, "Jiuge's unfortunate demise was his fate."

"Since he has passed away, let Ji Siqing take his place in second place!"

Originally, Ji Siqing was in third place, but now that Gu Jiuge is dead, she has taken her place in second.

With the champion and runner-up decided, Master Yu Ding wiped his sweat and asked again:

"Then the third place?"

Since Ji Siqing is no longer in third place, someone will have to take her place as the third-place winner.

After thinking it over, the Heavenly Question Ancestor realized that of the six people who had advanced to the top six, Qitianjun and Gu Jiuge were both dead, and Liudaojun was also possessed by evil spirits. It wouldn't have mattered if they hadn't died.

Of the remaining people, besides Ye Chen and Ji Siqing, only Feng Huangjun was left.

"Let Fenghuangjun take the place of the third-place winner."

Master Tianwen said that he wanted to ask the Yin God for his opinion again, but he found that the Yin God had fallen asleep in the chair with his hand supporting his chin, a peaceful smile on his lips, as if he was indulging in a good dream.

Since that's the case, Ancestor Tianwen will not disturb him any longer and instructs True Man Yuding to make the final decision.

Master Yu Ding cleared his throat and announced loudly to the millions of spectators present:
"Friends, the Myriad Sects Tournament has come to an end. Congratulations to Emperor Ye for winning the championship!"

Although Ye Chen won the championship, it was a significant blow to the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect.

However, the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect is, after all, a sacred sect, and naturally, they wouldn't be stingy. They would give Ye Chen the rewards and honors he deserved.

Upon hearing the result, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers and applause.

The astonishing sharpness of Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword just now truly shocked everyone.

Next, Master Yu Ding announced the results of the runner-up and third place. Ji Siqing was quite surprised to hear this, as he did not expect to be replaced in second place.

According to the rules of the Ten Thousand Sects Conference, the champion chooses three characters for the Yin-Yang Eight Character Formula, the runner-up chooses three more, and the last two characters belong to the third-place winner.

Being relegated to second place means that Ji Siqing can choose one more word!

After the results were announced, the next step was to award the prizes.

In addition to the Yin-Yang Eight Characters Formula, the top three winners will also receive a generous reward of Dao Crystals.

Of course, for Ye Chen, these Dao Crystal rewards were not very meaningful; the most important thing was the Yin-Yang Word Technique!

"I want the characters 'Qiankun' and 'Zhen'."

Ye Chen got straight to the point, stating his intentions directly.

He needs the two methods of Qiankun to revive the celestial maiden.

Besides the characters "乾坤" (Qiankun), Ye Chen carefully considered his options and then asked for the character "震" (Zhen).

Zhen represents thunder, and of all kinds of magic, thunder magic is the most powerful.

As for the Qian character technique, Ye Chen had already learned it, but he didn't have the corresponding mental cultivation method.

Therefore, he wants the character "乾" now in order to obtain the accompanying mental cultivation method.

With a smile on his face, the Heavenly Question Ancestor awarded Ye Chen the corresponding rewards of the word techniques and Dao Crystals.

Upon seeing the smiling face of the Heavenly Inquiry Ancestor, Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine and pondered:

“I’ve already killed Master Tianwen’s disciple, and he can still laugh.”

"This person has only the desire to seek the Dao in his heart, which is truly terrifying."

Like Su Yunli, she also has a burning desire to seek the Dao.

But at least Su Yunli still has humanity.

The patriarch who asked about this matter was utterly inhuman, which was truly chilling.

"Emperor Ye, are you alright? Why are your hands so cold?"

When Ancestor Tianwen presented Ye Chen with the award, he felt that Ye Chen's palms were unusually cold, like those of a corpse, without any warmth or vitality.

Upon hearing what the Heavenly Question Ancestor said, Ye Chen also felt a wave of dizziness.

However, he had just sacrificed the Demon Prison Life Star, and the Seven Stars of Reincarnation were missing one star. His Great Dao Foundation was severely lacking, and now his body was empty. The Yin Qi from the abyss of the eight wastelands of heaven and earth, like venomous snakes, began to crawl into his body.

Only when Ancestor Tianwen asked him did Ye Chen realize that things seemed to be a bit serious!

"It seems that you sacrificed the Demon Prison Star, causing the foundation of your Great Dao to be missing and allowing Yin energy to enter your body."

"Your constitution seems to be very special. It seems that the Yin energy in the abyss between heaven and earth regards you as prey and is frantically trying to devour you."

With his sharp eyes, the Heavenly Question Ancestor could already see that Ye Chen's foundation of the Great Dao was missing, causing the Yin Qi of the Abyss to enter his body.

He was puzzled because even if a person's Dao was missing and attracted Yin cold, it wouldn't be as severe as Ye Chen's.

The yin energy of the abyss seemed to harbor a strong hostility, treating Ye Chen as prey and wanting to destroy him.

Subconsciously, the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor looked toward the Yin God.

However, the spirit had already fallen asleep and was naturally unable to answer his question.

Ye Chenping said calmly, "I will handle it."

Although his physical problems were serious, Ye Chen didn't want to talk too much about them in front of Ancestor Tianwen.

Master Tianwen pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Such a severe case of Yin energy entering the body is probably not easy to resolve."

"Even if you rely on the Nine Yang True Roc for assistance, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Your foundation for the Great Dao is missing. Only by restoring the Great Dao can this Yin energy, which is comparable to a curse, be eradicated!"

The Nine Yang True Roc contains the essence of supreme Yang, which can alleviate the curse of Yin Qi entering Ye Chen's body, but it cannot cure the root cause.

After a pause, Master Tianwen continued:

"Our Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect possesses a supremely Yin spiritual stone called the Yin Origin Dao Stone."

"Our sect's most treasured divine sword was also forged from this Yin Origin Stone!"

"Emperor Ye, I can give you some Yin Source Dao Stones to help you rebuild your Dao foundation and protect you from the abyss curse."

Upon hearing the words "Yinyuan Dao Stone," Ye Chen's heart stirred.

This Yin Source Stone is something Ye Feier has been longing for!

"Can this Yin Origin Dao Stone repair my Dao foundation?"

Ye Chen asked.

Master Tianwen laughed and said, "Of course you can. As the saying goes, yin gives rise to yang. After your body is integrated with the Yin Source Stone, it will naturally generate yang energy to resist the curse of the abyss."

Ye Chen secretly transmitted his voice to Ye Feier, asking, "Is this feasible?"

Ye Feier thought for a moment and said, "It should be feasible."

Ye Chen nodded secretly, then smiled and asked Ancestor Tianwen, "So, what is the price?"

He naturally didn't believe that the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor would give away the Yin Source Stone for nothing.

Ancestor Tianwen said, "Yin Source Stones are extremely precious. Even a tiny speck of stone is worth a fortune. Emperor Ye, I can give you enough Yin Source Stones, but you must exchange them for something else!"

As he spoke, he pointed towards the Nine Yang True Roc.

"Let's use this Nine Yang True Roc as the exchange!"

He still longed to seize the Nine Yang True Roc, a divine bird of supreme yang that was extremely precious and could suppress the abyss.

Now that the Yin God of the Abyss has fallen asleep, it is the perfect opportunity to suppress him silently!

"really……"

When Ye Chen heard the conditions proposed by Ancestor Tianwen, he knew that it wouldn't be so easy.

"Ahhh, Lord of Reincarnation, please don't throw me out!"

Fearing that Ye Chen would abandon her, Ye Fei'er quickly sent a telepathic message.

"Stop calling me, big sister. Since I'm cooperating with you, I certainly won't abandon you halfway."

Ye Chen gave a curt but soothing remark, and then, without hesitation, asked the Heavenly Ancestor,
"I absolutely cannot hand over this Nine Yang True Roc."

“I appreciate Master Tianwen’s kindness.”

"I will find a way to solve this problem of the abyss's yin energy entering my body."

Ancestor Tianwen's expression froze instantly. He wanted to say something more, but seeing Ye Chen's resolute look, he knew that such a deal was absolutely impossible.

"Ok."

"I hope you don't die, Emperor Ye."

Master Tianwen smiled helplessly and did not persist in his insistence, continuing to award prizes.

Ye Chen has already asked for the three characters Qian, Kun, and Zhen, and also the five characters Kan, Li, Dui, Xun, and Gen.

"I need the Kan character formula, the Li character formula, and the Xun character formula."

Ji Siqing asked for her reward.

She chose three characters, the Kan character representing water, which signifies that the highest good is like water, encompassing all things.

The character "离" (li) represents fire, which warms and nourishes the body and may dispel yin energy.

Furthermore, the character 巽 (xùn) represents wind and embodies the true meaning of freedom, which may help Ye Chen transcend his limitations.

Ye Chen's foundational path is now missing, and he has been invaded by the Yin energy of the abyss, as if he were cursed. Ji Siqing also wants to help him resolve this.

The remaining Dui and Gen character formulas belong to Feng Huangjun of the End God Temple.

After the awards ceremony, Grandmaster Tianwen nodded, looked at Ye Chen, Ji Siqing, and the others, and then at the people from various sects present, and said:
"This year's Ten Thousand Sects Conference has now come to a successful conclusion. Thanks to everyone's presence, the Abyss has now been revived, and the Great Calamity of Light is expected to be overcome."

"In the days to come, our sect is willing to work together with you all to fight against this great calamity!"

Master Tianwen spoke these words with utmost sincerity. He certainly had his own selfish motives, but his selfish motives were also the righteous cause of saving all the heavens.

He still wanted to seek the Dao, but he had not yet glimpsed the ultimate Dao. Of course, he did not want to die, and of course, he did not want to see the world destroyed.

Therefore, he will do everything in his power to save the world!
Ye Chen silently looked at Ancestor Tianwen. The latter's temperament and character were very complex. He was either righteous or evil, friend or foe, and could not be summed up in a single sentence.

People from all schools and sects bowed to Ancestor Tianwen, expressing their willingness to cooperate in overcoming the tribulation.

This is just superficial politeness; as for what the future holds, no one can really say for sure.

Ye Chen had no time to think about it. He only felt that the foundation of his Great Dao was missing, the curse of the abyss was eroding him, his body was getting colder and colder, his head was spinning, and his meridians were empty. Finally, he could not bear it and fainted in Ji Siqing's arms.

It felt like a long nightmare, in which countless shadows of abyssal monsters flickered, and countless tentacles wrapped around my body, trying to tighten, strangle, and crush me...

During this time, golden sunlight flickered, trying to dispel the darkness, but to no avail.

The darkness was so intense that the sunlight could not dispel it.

It wasn't until a moist and gentle feeling enveloped Ye Chen, as if he had returned to his mother's amniotic fluid, that Ye Chen felt completely comfortable and slowly woke up from the nightmare.

When he woke up, he found himself in the Dawn Flower Sea of ​​Jiucang Academy.

A stunningly beautiful and gentle woman was embracing him. She had a voluptuous figure and wore only a thin, almost transparent gauze dress, which clearly revealed her incredibly perfect figure.

Her appearance was so dignified and beautiful, like a peony, elegant and noble.

She is the goddess of beauty!
"The God of Beauty..."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he was resting his head on the goddess's breasts, feeling very soft and comfortable.

"You're awake, Ye Chen."

The goddess smiled slightly and said, "You have been unconscious for half a month. During this time, you have been disturbed by nightmares and covered in sweat. I used the laws of pure beauty to prepare some milk and fed it to you."

"You're finally awake. How are you feeling now?"

"Breast milk?" Ye Chen was stunned again, licking his lips, where there was still a trace of sweet breast milk residue.

He looked at the goddess again; her figure was fuller than before, probably because of her pregnancy.

"I feel much better."

Ye Chen slowly sat up. With the goddess of beauty beside him, he felt that everything was peaceful, tranquil, warm and gentle.

The goddess smiled gently and said, "That's good."

Nine Yang True Roc was standing not far away. When he saw Ye Chen wake up, he said happily, "Congratulations, Father, you've finally woken up."

Strands of pure yang golden light emanated from the feathers of the Nine Yang True Roc, which had been doing its best to assist Ye Chen for the past half month.

Ye Chen knew that the sunlight he saw in his nightmares was emitted by the Nine Yang True Roc.

However, the light of the Nine Yang True Roc was not enough to dispel the Yin energy of the Abyss Curse, and with the blessing of the Goddess of Beauty, Ye Chen finally awoke.

Seeing the goddess's pale face, Ye Chen's heart tightened. He checked her pulse again and found it weak. He said:

"Goddess of Beauty, you were severely injured while saving me? And you were pregnant..."

The goddess smiled gently and said, "I'm fine, as long as you come back to life."

Ye Chen's expression darkened. The goddess was burning herself to nourish him.

With a thought, he immediately severed the connection between himself and the goddess of beauty.

Having severed all contact, Ye Chen was instantly like a baby emerging from its mother's amniotic fluid, facing the harshness of the world alone.

Without the protection of the goddess of beauty, Ye Chen instantly felt that from all the heavens and the eight wastelands, endless abyssal yin energy rushed over like venomous snakes, frantically drilling into his body through every pore.

"Damn it."

"They're like a persistent ghost!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, feeling the Yin energy rushing wildly into his body, where it settled and accumulated in his dantian, forming a demonic seed.

Moreover, this demonic seed has now sprouted!

It sprouted and grew into a sapling!
The sapling grew slowly, its roots and branches beginning to spread into Ye Chen's meridians and internal organs.

"Oh dear, this is the Tree of Yin Ruins!"

"Lord of Reincarnation, you're finished!"

"The extremely yin evil energy has entered the body and has even nurtured a Yin Ruins Tree!"

"This is the legendary, most sinister demonic tree! It should only exist outside this world!"

At that moment, Ye Feier's voice came.

She sensed that within Ye Chen's body, a demonic seed was sprouting, and a jet-black sapling was beginning to grow.

The dark and evil aura emanating from that tree terrified her.

That is the Tree of Yin Ruins, a legendary tree that is extremely yin and evil!

At this moment, Ye Chen's meridians and internal organs were gradually being devoured by the Yin Xu Tree.

Once the Yin Xu Tree has truly grown, Ye Chen is doomed!

Upon hearing Ye Feier's words, Ye Chen's expression changed.

"Ye Chen, what's wrong?"

How could you sever my blessing?

The goddess of beauty was unaware of Ye Feier's existence; she only saw Ye Chen's face turn dark instantly, indicating that the situation was extremely bad.

For the past two weeks, she has been blessing Ye Chen, preventing him from suffering the torment of being devoured by the abyss.

Just now, Ye Chen severed the blessing. Without her protection, Ye Chen will have to face the curse of the abyss!

At that moment, the goddess of beauty took Ye Chen's hand, wanting to re-establish the protective blessing.

"No, Goddess of Beauty."

Ye Chen withdrew his hand and said, "You're pregnant, you can't do too much for me."

He feared that if the goddess of beauty sacrificed too much, she would burn herself out. In that case, even if he survived the ordeal, what would be the point if the goddess of beauty perished?
The goddess of beauty also fell silent, but having no way to satisfy both, she said softly:
"For the past two weeks, Lord Ren has been traveling around seeking medical help and medicine, looking for a way to cure you."

"However, your ailment is not an illness, but rather a lack of the foundation of the Great Dao."

"You sacrificed the Demon Prison Star, which was too impulsive. Now that the foundation has collapsed, it is beyond saving."
