Chapter 12605 Wushi Makes His Move
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was greatly shocked and exclaimed, "The Dao Ancestor of the Beginningless Era?"

He never expected that Elder Guantian was actually the Dao Ancestor Wushi!

The Chaos Bell, crafted by the Dao Ancestor Wushi, was in Ye Chen's hands. At this moment, Ye Feier revealed the secret of heaven, and the Chaos Bell also emitted a resonant buzzing sound.

That's right, the heavenly secrets are aligned, Elder Guantian is none other than the legendary Wushi Daozu!
The Primordial Dao Ancestor wielded the laws of primordial chaos and the beginning of time, making him incredibly powerful. Ye Chen had also personally experienced the power of the Primordial Chaos Bell.

One can glimpse the immense power of the Primordial Dao Ancestor from the Chaos Bell.

Ye Chen never expected that Elder Guantian, who appeared to be an extremely ordinary person, was actually the Dao Ancestor Wushi!

Having learned the truth, Ye Chen immediately went out to find Elder Guantian again.

Upon arriving at the island's shore, they saw a person standing beside Elder Guantian.

That was an incredibly burly old man who solemnly bowed to Elder Guantian and said:

"Elder Guantian, I have come to visit you tonight. Please forgive my intrusion."

Elder Guantian's gaze was vacant as he stared blankly at the flowers in the water. The white flowers, once scooped up, would still turn into specks of light and vanish, unable to be retained.

The burly old man continued, "One of your disciples, Xiao Xingyun, the legendary descendant of the Yuan Ancestor, has committed a grave error."

“In the past two weeks, Master Tingyou has given him many opportunities to make amends, but he remains stubbornly unrepentant.”

"The Patriarch has decided to execute him and has specifically sent me to inform you of this."

The old man was none other than Elder Chong'an, one of the three elders of the Lu Dao Sect and a powerful figure who wielded the Gen character technique!
Ye Chen recognized him and quickly hid behind a large tree to avoid being exposed.

Fortunately, the Illusory Sea Mirror Pool was shrouded in mystery, as if the world was covered by a layer of mist, so Elder Chong'an did not discover Ye Chen.

"Are they going to execute Xiao Xingyun?"

Upon hearing Elder Chong'an's words, Ye Chen's heart sank.

Elder Guantian listened but ignored him, still obliviously searching for flowers in the water.

"Elder Guantian?"

Elder Chong'an called out softly.

Elder Guantian said listlessly, "You can execute whomever you want; you don't need to ask me."

Upon hearing this, Elder Chong'an breathed a sigh of relief. With Elder Guantian's words, he felt at ease.

He said, "Xiao Xingyun is a descendant of the Yuan Ancestor and possesses the Zhenyuan Spiritual Vein. That Zhenyuan Spiritual Vein is of immeasurable value."

"Before executing him, the Patriarch intends to extract this spiritual vein. What do you think?"

Elder Guantian remained silent, pretending not to hear.

Elder Chong'an added, "Elder Guantian, please rest assured that after the Zhenyuan Spirit Vein is extracted, it will be entrusted to you for safekeeping."

Elder Guantian remained silent, quietly picking up flowers.

Elder Chong'an had already explained the matter clearly. Seeing that Elder Guantian did not object and had no intention of interfering, he cupped his hands and said:

"Well then, I won't disturb Elder Guantian's enjoyment any longer. I'll take my leave now." He turned and left.

After confirming that Elder Chong'an had left, Ye Chen came out and said to Elder Guantian with some anxiety:

"Elder Guantian, Xiao Xingyun is about to be executed. Are you really going to stand by and watch him die?"

Elder Guantian remained silent, his gaze vacant. After a pause, he sighed:
"If I can't even save myself, how can I save others?"

His figure had become somewhat transparent and empty; this was because his amnesia was so severe that he had forgotten himself, and even all traces of his existence were about to disappear.

Ye Chen shouted, "You are the Dao Ancestor of the Beginningless Era! As long as you make a move, Xiao Xingyun can be saved!"

This revelation of the secret left Elder Guantian stunned, who exclaimed, "What?"

Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, "Your divine name is Wushi Daozu, one of the Three Wushi Daozu, the creator of the Chaos Wushi Bell. Have you forgotten all of that?"

“Yes, you have indeed forgotten that the Law of Beginninglessness has already eroded you, even causing you, the Dao Ancestor of Beginninglessness, to return to the state of Beginninglessness and Emptiness.”

"If it weren't for the existence of the Primordial Chaos Bell in this world, you would probably have already vanished."

Ye Chen had seen through everything. The reason why Elder Guantian lost his memory was due to the influence of the Beginningless Law.

The Law of No Beginning is truly terrifying. It would cause all things in the universe to return to their original state, or even cease to exist, falling into complete emptiness, and even the state of "nothingness" would cease to exist, which is called "nothingness".

Once you fall into "nothingness," you are completely gone.

This law is so terrifying that even the Primordial Dao Ancestor himself could not fully control it.

The laws of beginningless origin should not have form; they are purely pure laws.

All things with form and appearance will fall into "nothingness" under the erosion of the beginningless law.

"I am the Primordial Dao Ancestor, I am the Primordial Dao Ancestor..."

Elder Guantian muttered to himself, his face filled with shock, staggering and spinning in place, seemingly unable to believe it.

Do you recognize this magical artifact?

Ye Chen summoned the Chaos Beginning Bell and stared at Elder Guantian.

When Elder Guantian saw the Chaos Beginning Bell, he trembled and stepped forward with shaky steps, reaching out his withered hand to gently touch the bell.

The moment his palm touched the bell, his entire body burst forth with a boundless golden divine light, and his hair stood on end.

Golden divine light shot into the sky, piercing through the night sky. Countless golden flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses emerged from the earth. The white flowers in the Illusionary Sea Mirror Pool gradually gained color, the color of yin and yang.

"Pfft-"

Elder Guantian seemed to have been greatly shocked, and he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. His face twitched, and then he slowly sat down cross-legged to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Strands of the Great Dao Laws and runes floated and swirled around him, creating a magnificent sight.

A vast divine aura gradually emanated from Elder Guantian as he restored the divine status of the Primordial Dao Ancestor.

Ye Chen's Chaos Beginning Bell resonated even more strongly.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen put away the Boundless Bell.

To be honest, he also had his own selfish motives, fearing that Elder Guantian would take the magic weapon back.

After all, he had spent a tremendous amount of effort to obtain the Chaos Beginning Bell.

Elder Guantian sat quietly in meditation, showing no intention of reclaiming the Chaos Beginning Bell.

The divine light emanating from him grew ever more brilliant, and the runes of divine laws shone ever brighter.

Divine light soared into the sky, forming a magnificent pillar of light that illuminated thousands of miles.

By the next morning, the divine light emanating from Elder Guantian had become incredibly vast and intense.

Throughout the entire Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent, and even across the entire Starry Sky Beyond, all powerful beings could glimpse this astonishing divine light.

Countless powerful individuals were shocked, for they all sensed a powerful divine secret.

The pillar god has awakened!
The legendary Dao Ancestor Wushi has awakened!

A burly old man arrived at the edge of the Illusionary Mirror Pool and was completely dumbfounded when he saw the divine light rolling and blooming on the island in the middle of the lake.

The old man was none other than Elder Chong'an. He had a long, gold-lacquered brocade box tucked under his arm. He had originally intended to visit Elder Guantian again today.

But when he saw the divine light on the island in the middle of the lake, he was stunned.

"Elder Guantian is actually... the Dao Ancestor Wushi?"

Elder Chong'an was utterly shocked. It took two full hours for the divine light to gradually recede before he dared to fly towards the island in the center of the lake.

On the island, the divine light receded, and Elder Guantian opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting the sun and moon in a state of submersion, both magnificent and sacred.

"With a single bell, I shattered the ignorance and returned to the beginningless past; only today do I realize who I truly am."

Elder Guantian murmured to himself, overwhelmed with emotion, and then looked back at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with gratitude.

If Ye Chen hadn't revealed the secret, he wouldn't have been able to regain his memories.

At this moment, his memories returned, and he broke free from the erosion of the laws of nothingness. He regained control of the laws, and his body also broke free from the state of emptiness, exuding a steady and profound power, as high as heaven and earth, as vast as the sun and moon.

"somebody is coming."

Ye Chen wanted to say something, but sensing someone landing on the island, he immediately concealed his presence and went around to behind a large tree.

As Elder Chong'an landed on the island, he was so terrified by Elder Guantian's divine aura that he almost knelt down, trembling as he said:
"Elder Guantian, so... so you are the Dao Ancestor Wushi!"

Elder Guantian nodded and said, "Yes, it's me."

"I have recovered some of my past memories."

"Chong'an, I'll give you a few spider lilies of the Yin-Yang line. Take them."

With a wave of his hand, Elder Guantian caused several flowers in the lake to fly up and land in Elder Chong'an's hand.

These flowers were originally white and faded, and were illusory shadows. But as his memories returned, the flowers also took on a real form, blooming with Yin-Yang Dao Qi. They were special spiritual materials from outside the world, called Yin-Yang Other Shore Flowers.

Elder Chong'an accepted the Yin-Yang Spider Lilies, finding them brimming with spiritual energy that would greatly benefit his cultivation. He respectfully said, "Thank you, Elder Guantian... no, I should address you as the Beginningless Dao Ancestor!"

Elder Guantian smiled slightly and said, "It's alright. Guantian is me, and Wushi is also me."

Elder Chong'an nodded, then solemnly presented a gold-lacquered brocade box, saying, "Reporting to Dao Ancestor Wushi, the spiritual vein of that traitor Xiao Xingyun has been extracted. Please take a look, Dao Ancestor."

Elder Guantian, or more accurately, the Primordial Dao Ancestor, looked at the gold-lacquered brocade box, his face twitched slightly, and he took the box and opened it.

Inside the brocade box was a long, seven-colored tendon, stained with blood and emitting a pungent, bloody smell.

"This is……"

The face of the Dao Ancestor Wushi darkened.

Elder Chong'an said, "It is the traitor's Zhenyuan spiritual vein. The patriarch was thinking of executing him, so he extracted the spiritual vein in advance to avoid wasting its precious resources."

The Zhenyuan Spirit Vein is the bloodline inherited from the ancestor, containing powerful elemental affinity. It is a rare and top-tier bloodline, and the Ludao Sect naturally does not want to waste it.

The Dao Ancestor Wushi said in a deep voice, "You've pulled out all his meridians?"

Seeing that Wushi Daozu's expression was not right, Elder Chong'an felt uneasy, took a step back, and softly replied, "Yes."

Ye Chen, hiding behind a large tree, was startled upon hearing this and pondered:

"My nephew Xiao has suffered so much, enduring this cramping pain!"

The methods used by the Lu Dao Sect were cruel and brutal; they actually pulled out Xiao Xingyun's tendons and veins.

Elder Chong'an continued, "After the traitor's meridians were extracted, his Dao heart collapsed. The Patriarch took the opportunity to use the Soul Searching Technique and finally found out the details of his accomplices."

"So, the thief who stole the Yin Origin Stone during the chaos of the summoned beast tide that day was indeed the Azure Heaven Emperor Ye Chen!"

Xiao Xingyun's Dao heart was firm, and he refused to reveal Ye Chen's secret. Even when Master Tingyou used the Soul Searching Technique, he could not break through his Dao heart.

Only after his meridians were completely extracted, causing his Dao heart to collapse, were the secrets of his heart finally discovered.

Now everyone in the Luodao Sect knows that the mastermind behind it all is Ye Chen!

When Ye Chen heard that the truth had been revealed, his heart started pounding.

After Elder Chong'an revealed Ye Chen's name, he was struck by a mysterious force. He exclaimed "Eh!" and vaguely sensed that Ye Chen's aura was present on the island!

"Ancestor Wushi, is... is this Emperor Ye here with you?"

Elder Chong'an was taken aback. He couldn't be mistaken; although the aura of heavenly secrets wasn't strong, it was very clear.

Ye Chen is right here!

Upon realizing that the secret had been revealed, Ye Chen's muscles tensed up instantly.

The Dao Ancestor Wushi remained calm and said, "In your eyes, is Emperor Ye a sinner?"

Elder Chong'an said, "Of course, he summoned a beast tide, causing our sect to suffer heavy casualties, and he also took away all of our most precious Yin Origin Stones."

The Primordial Dao Ancestor calculated the past with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and said:
"No, we can't simply call him a sinner."

Elder Chong'an was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

The Dao Ancestor Wushi said, "You cheated repeatedly at the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly, ultimately forcing Emperor Ye to sacrifice the Demon Prison Star, causing his Great Dao to be incomplete. The fault lies primarily with you."

“His return to steal the Yin Source Stone to complete his Dao foundation is also a form of retribution, and he cannot be simply called a sinner.”

Elder Chong'an was stunned. He hadn't expected that the Dao Ancestor Wushi would actually side with Ye Chen. He said, "Then the dead and wounded disciples..."

The Dao Ancestor Wushi calmly said, "It doesn't matter. I will take action and revive them all."

He pointed his finger, his mouth holding the Heavenly Mandate, and rays of divine light shot out, heading towards the Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect's mountain gate.

Instantly, all the victims came back to life.

All the injured people also recovered completely.

A grand law resonated throughout the heavens and earth.

That's the primordial law!

Let the dead and wounded return to their original state, back to the time before they were harmed!
This is the method of the Beginningless Dao Ancestor, it can be described as defying the heavens!

Elder Chong'an was shocked, bewildered, and lost in thought. After a long pause, he finally spoke:
"So, does that mean the Dao Ancestor is going to protect Emperor Ye?"

He didn't expect that the Dao Ancestor Wushi would actually take action on the spot, expending his divine power to heal the dead, it seems he was going to protect Ye Chen.

Wushi Daozu said frankly, "Yes, my ability to regain my memories is also thanks to Emperor Ye."

“You, the Slaughtering Dao Sect, for my sake, let this matter rest.”

"Emperor Ye is innocent! Release Xiao Xingyun immediately!"

His voice was like a resounding bell, carrying an inherent authority that left no room for argument.

Elder Chong'an gritted his teeth, refusing to yield easily. He secretly activated the Gen character technique, his back as straight as a mountain, and withstood the pressure of the Primordial Dao Ancestor, saying:
“The Dao Ancestor of the Beginningless Era, that makes no sense.”

"Emperor Ye has committed an unforgivable crime; how can we let this go so easily?"

"Emperor Ye, come out here!"

His gaze fell on the place where Ye Chen was hiding, and he had already spotted Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had no choice but to take a step forward.

When Elder Chong'an saw that Ye Chen's aura was superb and his eyes were focused, clearly indicating that he had broken free from the shackles of the abyss curse, his heart sank.

This means that the Yin Source Stone was most likely refined by Ye Chen, and he couldn't get it back even if he wanted to.

Elder Chong'an's heart was bleeding as he roared, "Emperor Ye, do you know your crime?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I am innocent."

"If you hadn't greedily seized the Yin Source Stones that Xiao Xingyun mined, I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure as summoning a beast tide."

"I just want to take back what's rightfully ours!"

"As for the many blood sins I have committed, the Dao Ancestor Wushi has already taken action to make amends. This matter is now settled, and further disputes will not benefit either of us."

“If you release Xiao Xingyun, our grudges will be wiped clean.”

Elder Chong'an laughed loudly, "Haha, haha, wipe it all clean? You make it sound so easy!"

He drew his longsword with a clang and said coldly, "I will kill you today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a sudden step and swung his sword at Ye Chen.

This sword strike, imbued with the power of the Gen character technique, was as vast and majestic as the Tianshan Mountains, pressing down upon Ye Chen.

In Ye Chen's view, this was not a sword, but a mountain!

A mountain that is so high that it cannot be climbed and can suppress all things!

Before Ye Chen could retaliate, the Dao Ancestor Wushi moved, floating lightly between the two, and with two fingers, easily caught Elder Chong'an's longsword.

Elder Chong'an felt as if the sword had solidified, unable to be drawn back or advanced even an inch. He was amazed by the cultivation of the Beginningless Dao Ancestor, and then solemnly said:
"Ancestor Wushi, are you willing to betray the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect to protect Emperor Ye?"

Wushi Daozu shook his head and said, "I have no intention of betraying you; I just want to mediate."

Elder Chong'an sneered and said, "Mediation? How can we mediate?"

"Unless you make Emperor Ye spit out the Yin Origin Stone!"

The Dao Ancestor Wushi remained silent, unable to devise a proper solution for the time being.

If he were to protect Ye Chen, he would inevitably offend the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect.

But he absolutely could not hand over Ye Chen.

"Fine, since you're still so obsessed, I have no choice but to kill you."

Wushi Daozu couldn't think of a perfect solution. Having just regained his memories, his mind and spirit were very weak, and he couldn't dwell on too much, otherwise his Dao heart would fall into chaos.

Faced with a difficult situation, the only solution is to act decisively and swiftly.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem by eliminating the person who caused it!
With a hiss, the Dao Ancestor Wushi snatched Elder Chong'an's sword and slashed at him with a backhand strike.

Blood splattered.

Elder Chong'an's head flew high into the air, his face frozen in a look of astonishment and fear.

With a single sword strike, the Dao Ancestor of the Beginning eradicated his life force and utterly killed him.

With a thud, Elder Chong'an's head rolled to Ye Chen's feet.

“Daozu…”

Ye Chen was immediately stunned, never expecting that the Dao Ancestor Wushi would actually kill the person.

slam-la-

After Elder Chong'an died, blood rain immediately fell between heaven and earth.

Elder Chong'an was one of the three elders of the Lu Dao Sect. His life and breath were already connected with the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect. His death immediately triggered strange phenomena in the heavens and earth, with blood raining down from the sky, creating a desolate scene.

The power of the Beginningless Dao Ancestor was completely beyond Ye Chen's expectations.

Elder Chong'an possessed the Gen character technique and was extremely powerful, but he could not withstand a single sword strike from the Dao Ancestor Wushi.
