Chapter 12600 I Don't Care

Feng Qingxue's gaze swept over Ni Changjun again. With her keen senses, she perceived that the relationship between the two was not simple. She sighed softly and said:
"You really are a ladies' man, you've even gotten together with Ni Chang."

Her words hit the nail on the head, and both Ye Chen and Ni Changjun froze, falling into an awkward silence.

Feng Qingxue said softly, "Fine, you can play if you want, I don't care."

"But don't let Xiyue know!"

Ye Chen and Ni Changjun exchanged a glance and nodded awkwardly.

Feng Qingxue glanced at Ye Chen and said, "What are you doing here? Do you know that there are many people in Yin Yang Tian Zhou who are hunting you down?"

Ye Chen saw that although her expression was cold, she cared about him and had not closed her heart to him.

Through his divine power, he was able to sense Feng Qingxue's thoughts. She still deeply loved him, but she also harbored resentment towards him for his womanizing.

Feng Qingxue did not hide her feelings; she actually hoped that Ye Chen would turn back and only be devoted to her.

But she also knew that it was impossible.

Because Ye Chen already had many women before she appeared.

She was the one who came later.

Moreover, many of Ye Chen's women were just as deeply in love with him, even willing to die for him, their passion no less intense than hers.

The best ending would actually be for her and many other women to stay by Ye Chen's side, loving and cherishing each other.

But her principles prevented her from doing so.

She no longer cared about who was right or wrong. Now that she had Xiyue, she had another emotional anchor. Even if she completely lost Ye Chen, her Dao heart would not collapse.

Ye Chen said, "I know, I just wanted to come and see you and your daughter."

Feng Qingxue said, "I'm fine, but Xiyue is sick."

"She's being ridiculous. She actually cut off a piece of her bone, created an avatar, and infiltrated the Myriad Sects Assembly."

"Now that she's annihilated, her body is weak and vulnerable to the invasion of cold. She'll probably need to rest for another month or two to recover."

By the end, Feng Qingxue looked exhausted, clearly having spent a lot of time and energy taking care of Xiyue these past few days.

Ye Chen glanced at a bathhouse behind the main bath and asked, "Is Xi Yue inside?"

He could already sense Xi Yue's presence, though it was quite faint.

Feng Qingxue nodded and said, "I'll take you to meet her."

He added a special instruction: "Remember, don't let her know about your relationship with Ni Chang!"

Ye Chen and Ni Changjun felt awkward again and nodded silently.

At that moment, Feng Qingxue got up, gracefully wiped the water off her body, and put on her clothes.

Compared to Ni Changjun, she seemed more like the master of this place.

Then, Feng Qingxue led Ye Chen toward the Bathing Palace, with Ni Changjun following at the very back, her face still showing remorse.

Upon arriving at a room in the bathing palace, Ye Chen finally met Xi Yue.

Xi Yue was pale, looking like she had caught a cold, and was lying in bed panting.

This wasn't actually a cold; rather, it was the omnipresent, sinister energy of the abyss that invaded her body when it was weak, causing her to fall ill.

"The past month."

Ye Chen immediately stepped forward and used the Heavenly Light Divine Medicine Technique to cure Xi Yue's illness.

However, Xi Yue's illness was caused by the invasion of evil spirits into the body, which is not so easy to treat.

Moreover, she also has a mental illness!

In her eyes, Ye Chen had let her down, abandoned her, and betrayed her.

Therefore, her mental illness was very serious and even more difficult to treat.

However, after receiving Ye Chen's treatment, her complexion regained some color and she opened her eyes.

When she opened her eyes and saw Ye Chen right in front of her, she was momentarily stunned, seemingly unable to believe her eyes, and said:
"Father, is it...is that you?"

Ye Chen stroked Xi Yue's face, feeling saddened, and said, "It's me, Xi Yue, I've come to see you!"

Xi Yue paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly, reached out and stroked Ye Chen's broad hand, saying, "I'm so happy that Father came to see me."

Ye Chen said, "You...you don't blame your father anymore? It's your father who has wronged you."

Xi Yue paused for a moment, then said softly:

"It is strange, after all, Father abandoned me, and you have other women in your heart besides Mother."

"But no matter what, I'm very happy that you came to see me now."

"Father, please don't abandon Xiyue again, okay?"

“If you’re going to take care of another woman, at least tell me in advance, and then tell me when you’ll be back and when you can be alone with Xiyue.”

"Xiyue will wait for Father, no matter how long it takes."

She stubbornly adhered to the path of pure love, only willing to spend time alone with Ye Chen, and could not tolerate other women.

If Ye Chen really wants to spend time with other women, she only hopes that Ye Chen can spare some time for her.

She wanted to be alone with Ye Chen.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt a complex mix of emotions. He gently took Xi Yue's hand and kissed it, saying:
"Father knows, Father will never abandon Xiyue again!"

Xi Yue smiled gently and said, "That's good."

She looked at the hot spring outside the window and said with longing, "When I get better, Daddy, shall we soak in the hot spring together with Mommy and Sister Ni Chang?"

She was unaware of the relationship between Ni Changjun and Ye Chen, and only regarded Ni Changjun as a good older sister and half a family member. So when the family went to the hot spring, she wanted to bring Ni Changjun along as well.

Ye Chen said, "Okay, once you're better, let's go to the hot springs together!"

Xi Yue hummed in agreement, nodded with a smile, and fell asleep contentedly.

Ye Chen, Feng Qingxue, and Ni Changjun left the room.

Seeing Ye Chen's melancholy expression, Feng Qingxue said, "Xi Yue is fine, she just needs some time to rest."

"Are you tired? You can go soak in the hot spring first."

Ye Chen looked into her eyes and subconsciously asked, "Together?"

……

Feng Qingxue, who had just come out of the bath, eventually went back into the bath with Ye Chen.

Ni Changjun wanted to be with him, but she restrained herself and left with her maids, leaving the two of them alone.

There were only Ye Chen and Feng Qingxue in the bath.

The two remained silent for some time before Ye Chen tentatively put his arm around her shoulder.

Feng Qingxue did not resist, so Ye Chen went a step further and kissed her lips.

She didn't resist, but tears streamed down her face.

"Sorry……"

Ye Chen said softly, he didn't actually know what he was apologizing for.

Feng Qingxue said gently, "There's no need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that perhaps we are destined not to be together."

She meant a life together, not having a large group of women serve Ye Chen.

Ye Chen remained silent.

Feng Qingxue changed the subject, saying, "You didn't come here just to visit my daughter and me, did you?"

"You're looking for the Yin Source Stone?"

With her discerning eye, she could naturally see some clues.

Moreover, she and Ye Chen were on the same wavelength; she could roughly sense what Ye Chen wanted.

Ye Chen replied, "Yes."

Feng Qingxue asked again, "To the Wanshi Mountains?"

Ye Chen replied, "Yes."

Feng Qingxue asked, "When do we depart?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "A thousand years later."

Feng Qingxue was stunned and hadn't reacted when Ye Chen was already on top of her.

The laws of time around us are distorted and changing.

Ye Chen used the power of the Time God Path, just like he had done with a single glance that felt like an eternity.

However, Ye Chen is now burdened by the curse of the abyss, and even if he uses the laws of time, he can no longer achieve a glance that spans ten thousand years; he can only achieve a glance that spans a thousand years.

But a thousand years is more than enough.

Feng Qingxue experienced unparalleled joy and pleasure, something that none of Ye Chen's other women had ever enjoyed.

Ye Chen gave her the most time and the most unforgettable experience; it could be said that he favored her greatly.

A thousand years later, Feng Qingxue's bones were weak and her body was limp. She could only gently hold Ye Chen, unable to muster any strength and without any intention of resistance. She completely belonged to Ye Chen.

Pure love has been thrown to the back of my mind.

If Ye Chen asked her to spend time with other women, she would definitely agree.

She was completely won over by Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen respected her principles and did not do anything to defile them.

"I have to go now."

Ye Chen gave Feng Qingxue a final, gentle kiss before leaving the bath.

Using the power of the Time God Path was actually quite dangerous for Ye Chen.

The Great Calamity of Light eroded him, colliding with the Abyss Curse within his body, causing another wave of excruciating pain in his internal organs.

He was willing to endure this pain for Feng Qingxue's sake.

Feng Qingxue stared blankly at Ye Chen's departing figure, her mind clearing somewhat as she pondered:

"Perhaps I should abandon the path of pure love?"

For a moment, she felt lost and had no answers.

……

After Ye Chen left the bathhouse, he asked Ni Changjun to arrange a room for him alone.

He spent the night in his room recuperating, and by the next morning, his spirit and energy had fully recovered.

This is mainly because the Nine Yang True Roc is constantly nourishing Ye Chen in the Reincarnation Graveyard.

The pure Yang spiritual energy contained in the Nine Yang True Roc will never run dry. It is connected to the Great Dao, and as long as the Great Dao does not perish, its pure Yang energy will continue indefinitely.

However, while its pure Yang energy was sufficient in quantity, its power was not enough to dispel the Abyss Curse within Ye Chen's body.

This is like the sun shining on the earth, which can warm all things, but cannot easily melt an iceberg.

If Ye Chen wants to resolve the abyss curse within his body, he needs to find a way to repair his Dao foundation; this is the fundamental solution.

"I'll take you to the Wanshi Mountains now, but I dare not go in. Otherwise, if I'm caught by the guards of the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect, I'll be dead."

"Be careful yourself."

Ni Changjun led Ye Chen away from Qingqiu Fox Tomb and headed towards the Wanshi Mountains. Along the way, she took out another scroll, placed it in Ye Chen's hand, and said...

"this is for you."

Ye Chen sensed a trace of reincarnation energy within the scroll, and exclaimed in surprise:

"what is this?"

Ni Changjun said, "This is called the Heavenly God Reincarnation Diagram, something left behind by the Heaven of Reincarnation."

"Now that our eight branch halls have been destroyed, the Samsara Heaven has distributed their stockpiles of rare and precious materials, weapons, and magical artifacts to us."

"I got this diagram of the cycle of gods, it might be useful to you, here you go."

Ye Chen asked, "Has the Samsara Heaven been destroyed?"

Ni Changjun laughed and said, "Yes, the path of reincarnation seems to be taboo. If one does not respect you and does not have you as the sun and lighthouse in one's heart, it seems that one will go astray if one rashly studies the path of reincarnation."

"After the Ten Thousand Sects Conference ended, almost everyone in Samsara Heaven went mad and suffered from qi deviation."

"The Palace Master personally killed many people, but many madmen still managed to escape, and I heard that they were all taken over by the Slaughtering Dao Sect."

Ye Chen's mind raced. He never expected that the Samsara Heaven would suffer such a change, being completely destroyed and many people driven mad.

The Lu Dao Sect was also acting madly, daring to accept even insane people.

Ni Changjun said, "Take a look at this Heavenly God Reincarnation Diagram, see if it can be used."

Ye Chen hummed in agreement and then unfolded the Heavenly God Reincarnation Diagram.

In fact, he also has a picture about reincarnation called the Blue Sky and Yellow Springs Picture.

Previously, the Yellow Springs Diagram was his natal magic weapon, but as his cultivation improved and he established the Samsara Heaven Kingdom, he no longer needed this magic weapon.

Today, the Yellow Springs Map serves as the cornerstone of the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation Kingdom, and is considered part of it.

The Heavenly God Reincarnation Diagram that Ni Changjun gave him, in terms of the purity of the laws, was not even as good as Ye Chen's previous Yellow Spring Diagram.

After Ye Chen unfolded the Heavenly God Reincarnation Diagram, he saw a world full of flowers and blooming flowers. Above this world, a Reincarnation Disc was suspended.

However, on that Wheel of Reincarnation, there is only the Path of the Heavenly Gods, and no other Great Paths exist.

The cycle of rebirth is divided into six realms: the realm of gods, the realm of humans, the realm of asuras, the realm of animals, the realm of hungry ghosts, and the realm of hell.

This Heavenly God Reincarnation Diagram contains only the Heavenly God Path, and no other Great Paths.

Ye Chen roughly guessed that the guy who created the Heavenly God Reincarnation Diagram must be too idealistic, wanting everyone to become a god.

In this way, there would be no animals, no hungry ghosts, and no hell in the world.

How wonderful it would be if everyone could become a god.

However, it is impossible for everyone to become a god before mastering the ultimate path.

Such divinity is not eternal.

One day, God will decay, wear down, and die; darkness and decay will still exist, and depravity will be inevitable.

Therefore, this Heavenly God Reincarnation Diagram is too vague and abstract. It only has one Heavenly God Path, which seems bright and sacred, but in reality, it lacks the true deterrent power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Light and compassion alone cannot save everyone. Without the suppression of swords and fists, how can we make demons and monsters bow down?
However, in terms of its energy and spiritual energy reserves, this Heavenly God Reincarnation Diagram was quite good, so Ye Chen accepted it, thinking that with some modifications, he should be able to create a decent magic weapon.

"This magic weapon is alright, it works."

Ye Chen smiled as he put away the Heavenly God Reincarnation Diagram and said.

Ni Changjun smiled and said, "Okay, I'm glad I could help you."

After walking for half a day, she brought Ye Chen to the vicinity of the Wanshi Mountains.

The Wanshi Mountain Range was a pure rocky mountain range, devoid of vegetation, but it contained many spiritual minerals and crystals.

The seemingly desolate and barren rocky mountains are actually bathed in a hazy glow, with spiritual light occasionally bursting forth from beneath the ground.

This place is absolutely a geomantically auspicious location, and its value is immense!
The Temple of the End actually gave this place to the Yin Yang Divine Path Sect to serve as "long-night incense offerings".

The Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect is so rich from collecting incense money that Ye Chen is envious.

"Alright, that's all I can take you this far."

"You'll have to walk the rest of the road yourself."

"Ni Changjun said softly, looking at Ye Chen with deep affection as she spoke, her slender hands gently adjusting Ye Chen's collar.

She dared not enter the Wanshi Mountain Range.

Ye Chen hummed in agreement. In this situation, there was no need for further words. The two kissed tightly for a while before reluctantly letting go.

Ni Changjun's face flushed, her eyes shimmering with spring-like tenderness, and she said gently, "Remember to come back alive, Xi Yue is still waiting for you."

"We made a promise that we would go to a hot spring together once she recovered."

Ye Chen said, "I will."

After bidding farewell to Ni Changjun, Ye Chen put on a bamboo hat to further conceal his aura and flashed into the Wanshi Mountain Range.

Throughout the Wanshi Mountains, the sounds of ore mining can be heard everywhere.

The Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect has already begun mining Dao Crystal ore here, and Ye Chen also saw many elite disciples patrolling.

In fact, with his current strength, he doesn't even need to worry about ordinary elites, but he doesn't dare to reveal himself easily, lest he provoke the power of those behind him.

Furthermore, as Ni Changjun mentioned, the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect seems to have mastered the Law of Eternal Sleep. Once the power of Eternal Sleep is summoned, even top experts will fall into a deep sleep, so Ye Chen has to be on guard.

After carefully entering the Wanshi Mountain Range, he said to Ye Feier:
"Hey, where is the Yin Source Stone?"

Ye Chen scanned the entire Wanshi Mountain Range with his divine sense and was able to detect the aura of many minerals, but there were no Yin Origin Stones among them.

Ye Feier said, "Huh? Ah..."

"Maybe not."

Ye Chen said, "What did you say?"

Ye Feier said, "It seems there is no aura of the Yin Source Stone."

"Could we have been scammed? There are no Yin Origin Stones here!"

Ye Chen said, "Impossible, Ni Chang wouldn't lie to me."

"Although she's not very reliable either, at least she's more reliable than you."

There is absolutely no way that Ni Changjun would deceive Ye Chen; there must be Yin Origin Stones here.

Ye Feier pursed her lips and said, "That's probably because it's broad daylight and I can't sense it. Let's check again at night."

Helpless, Ye Chen could only shrink into a crevice in the rocks, avoiding the eyes and ears of the patrolling guards, and wait for night to fall.

When night fell, Ye Feier sensed the surroundings and said:

"No, there really are no Yin Origin Stones here."

"Could it be that it was mined away?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's heart sank. If the Yin Source Stone had already been mined, that would be extremely bad.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling from the mountains:

"Uncle, Uncle, is that you here?"

That was Xiao Xingyun's voice!
Ye Chen was startled when he heard Xiao Xingyun's call. He saw Xiao Xingyun approaching from afar, all alone, without any attendants or guards.

"Uncle, where are you? I can sense your presence!"

Xiao Xingyun shouted loudly, having already noticed that Ye Chen was nearby.

Ye Chen was afraid that if he kept making noise, it would attract other people, so he quietly took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "Stop shouting, I'm here."

Xiao Xingyun turned around and saw Ye Chen. Although Ye Chen was dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat, he recognized him at first glance and immediately ran over with joy, saying:

"Uncle, what brings you here?"

Ye Chen said, "Keep your voice down. How can you sense my presence?"

He had completely concealed his aura, so that even if patrolling guards passed by, they wouldn't notice him. But unexpectedly, Xiao Xingyun discovered him.

Xiao Xingyun said, "Uncle, you have the blessing of the Yuanzu. To me, you are like a family member, my biological father. I sensed your presence immediately."

Ye Chen had guessed this as well. It must have been the cause and effect of the Primordial Ancestor that exposed him. Fortunately, only Xiao Xingyun discovered it.
