Chapter 12627 My Corpse
Chapter 12627 My Corpse
"Chaos, chaos..."
The Yin spirit gritted his teeth and let out a low, resentful curse, trying his best to stay awake. But as he continued to sink deeper into the sea of dreams, in the blink of an eye, he closed his eyes, fell to the ground with a thud, and fell into a deep sleep.
The eerie black mist that surged and roared in the main hall, along with the terrifying venomous snakes, were quickly destroyed under the radiance of Ye Chen's dream.
The spirits of the underworld fell asleep, and the night sky outside returned to tranquility; the rain of corpses stopped.
The three—Tianwen Ancestor, Tingyou Ancestor, and Yuanzu—awakened from their despair and fear, staring blankly at the scene before them.
The crisis has passed, but they still feel a chill running through them.
Because, before the Yin God went into slumber, he uttered a curse, not only cursing Ye Chen, but also cursing them!
"Lord of Reincarnation?"
"Emperor Ye, so you are the Lord of Reincarnation!"
Master You's face twitched. The Yin God had just mentioned the words "Lord of Reincarnation." These four words revealed a secret of heaven, and his lost memories were also revived.
He remembered everything that had happened.
The Lord of Reincarnation is the Lord of Reincarnation!
Ye Chen is the Lord of Reincarnation!
The person who severely injured him and killed several of his disciples was the Lord of Reincarnation!
Not only the Ancestor Tingyou, but also the entire other side of the starry sky, and even the entire Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent, wherever there is darkness and shadow, the curse of the Yin God before his slumber was heard.
The secrets of heaven have been completely revealed, and everyone in all the heavens and myriad realms has awakened.
So Ye Chen is the Lord of Reincarnation!
The curses of the underworld gods planted seeds of darkness in every heart.
Apart from Ye Chen's closest relatives and friends, everyone else had the idea of killing Ye Chen to repay the Yin God.
As long as Ye Chen is killed, the Yin God will be favored!
When the spirit awakens, it will surely receive a great blessing!
"Ah, Emperor Ye, so you are the Lord of Reincarnation!"
"I knew it! How could there be such a genius in this world? It turns out it was you!"
Ancestor Tianwen let out an excited voice, finally knowing Ye Chen's true identity. He felt no hatred, but rather excitement.
After all, he and Ye Chen used to be friends.
Yuanzu already knew Ye Chen's identity, so his expression didn't change. However, looking at Ye Chen's current appearance, he said with concern:
"Emperor Ye, no, I should now call you Lord of Reincarnation."
"Your body..."
Having just used the Eternal Night Dream Sea technique, Ye Chen successfully put the Yin God into a deep sleep, but the price was extremely high.
The Supreme Law's drain on the body was far too intense; Ye Chen's essence was almost completely drained, and he quickly withered away, soon becoming skin and bones.
A layer of brownish-yellow skin wrapped around pale, almost decaying bones.
Ye Chen looked frail and old, as if a strong wind could blow him apart.
To ensure the Yin spirit fell into slumber, he exhausted his own life essence—the price was too high!
"Heh, it seems even geniuses have reached their limits."
Master Tingyou stroked his beard, looked at Ye Chen's skeletal appearance and frail old age, and laughed.
The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor's expression turned solemn as he said, "Tingyou, how could you say that?"
"If it weren't for the Lord of Reincarnation, we would have already become puppets of the Yin Gods."
Just now, the Yin Gods were rampaging, and the laws of the Dark Abyss were shrouded in darkness. If Ye Chen hadn't intervened, Ancestor Tianwen and the others would probably have already sunk into the abyss, completely turning into demons and monsters, becoming puppets of the Yin Gods.
The situation has now reversed. The Yin God is sleeping in the cage, but the Yin God has become a puppet. All of this is thanks to Ye Chen.
Master You snorted and said, "Indeed, it is this kid's achievement."
"However, he has done too many evil deeds in the past. Considering that he has settled all his debts and grievances today, I don't owe him any favors."
Looking at Ye Chen's withered and emaciated appearance, the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor said, "Lord of Reincarnation, your condition is very bad. What should we do?"
Ye Chen's condition looks extremely serious; it's clear that even his fundamental Dao has been damaged, and even if Ancestor Tianwen provides him with resources to replenish it, it won't be able to make up for it.
Yuanzu, standing to the side, was also at a loss.
While he could certainly mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish Ye Chen's body, the damaged origin of Ye Chen's Great Dao could not be replenished or restored by outsiders or external forces.
"It's alright, Master, I'm not dead yet."
Ye Chen smiled optimistically, showing no signs of despair.
He closed his eyes and focused on his body.
Within the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation Kingdom within his body, there is a Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc, suspended high above like the sun and moon.
The legendary Heavenly Light Divine Water and the Black Abyss Poison Spring are both on this Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc. Yin and Yang, one yin and one yang, slowly rotate under the fusion of the laws of reincarnation.
Yin and Yang, along with reincarnation, are perfectly integrated, forming the strongest Dao in history.
This Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc is also a powerful energy source. The Yin and Yang spiritual energy within it is even enough to support Ye Chen's cultivation to the Heavenly Dao Realm!
However, using these Yin and Yang spiritual energies may lead to an imbalance of Yin and Yang, resulting in disastrous consequences.
However, at this critical moment, Ye Chen's flesh and blood were withered, and he could no longer care about the imbalance of yin and yang.
He took a deep breath, drawing energy from the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc.
Strands of Yin and Yang spiritual energy flowed down like a waterfall, pouring into Ye Chen's body and rapidly nourishing his withered flesh and blood.
Rumbling--
With the Yin and Yang spiritual energy being absorbed, the entire Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc indeed showed signs of imbalance. Once the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc crashed down, it would overturn the Great Dao and be enough to crush Ye Chen to death!
However, Ye Chen was prepared. With a thought, he transformed the Chaos Beginning Bell and the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron, two great artifacts, into celestial pillars to support the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc.
Two enormous celestial pillars rose from the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation Kingdom, working in conjunction with the three great celestial pillars of the Starry Sky, the Coiling Dragon, and Destiny, to firmly support the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc and prevent it from falling.
The Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc returned to stability, but at the cost of Ye Chen's two Dao artifacts being used as pillars of heaven.
The five pillars of heaven—Starry Sky, Coiling Dragon, Destiny, Beginningless, and Soul Refining—supported Ye Chen's body and the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc, allowing Ye Chen's body to become completely stable.
To be honest, Ye Chen was reluctant to part with it.
Because both the Chaos Beginning Bell and the Innate Soul Refining Cauldron are among the Ten Great Dao Artifacts, they have tremendous uses.
He would be at a great disadvantage if he used the money to cast a celestial pillar.
However, this was the only way to stabilize the body.
As the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc stabilized, Ye Chen further absorbed the Yin-Yang spiritual energy within it. His originally withered flesh and blood gradually recovered to their original state, his muscles became firm and strong, and a mysterious Yin-Yang Dao energy even emanated from his skin.
Behind Ye Chen, a yin-yang symbol appeared, incredibly mysterious.
On the Bagua totem, the positions of the Qian and Kun trigrams have been lit up.
The great paths are interconnected; Ye Chen's Yin-Yang Reincarnation Path and the Eight Character Formula of Heaven and Earth have much in common.
At this moment, the Bagua totem manifested, with the Qian and Kun trigrams lit up. This meant that Ye Chen had mastered the Qian and Kun methods, and the Yin-Yang cycle had reversed, further strengthening the power of the Qian and Kun methods!
Ye Chen's own cultivation level also rose accordingly, directly reaching the initial stage of the eighth level of the Divine Illumination Realm!
The three masters, Tianwen, Tingyou, and Yuanzu, stared wide-eyed, finding it unbelievable.
Just moments ago, Ye Chen looked like a frail old man, but now his withered flesh and blood have been completely restored to fullness, and even his cultivation level has improved. His whole body is radiating divine light, and he is full of energy and brilliance.
"This is……"
"Ah, incredible, incredible!"
The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor exclaimed in admiration, "The greatest Dao is nothing more than this."
"Lord of Reincarnation, you truly are a genius! You can actually be reborn from the brink of death!"
Hearing the twitching of the muscles on Ancestor You's face, he also found it unbelievable, wondering how Ye Chen had recovered.
Yuanzu exclaimed joyfully, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Lord of Reincarnation!"
Ye Chen hummed in agreement, his gaze clear, and looked at the Yin God.
At this moment, the Yin spirit was sleeping on the ground, surrounded by a huge cage, and he was already inside the cage.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then said to Ancestor Tianwen, "Ancestor Tianwen, I am now unharmed."
"However, the Yin Spirit will eventually awaken. What are your plans?"
Master Tianwen glanced at the Yin Spirit and asked, "When will the Yin Spirit awaken?"
Ye Chen calculated with his fingers and pondered, "It will probably take about a year for him to wake up from the deep sea of dreams."
"As darkness accumulates throughout the world this year, the power of the Yin spirits will also grow stronger."
“I’m afraid that when he wakes up, he will still be out of control.”
The Yin God is the center of darkness; he himself releases dark energy to fight against the eternal light of the heavens and myriad realms.
The darkness generated by all the heavens and myriad worlds will also flow back into his body.
He doesn't need to cultivate; his cultivation level and strength will automatically increase until he returns to his former peak.
Give him a year, and he'll probably be able to recover to the level of a quasi-pillar god. How could this small cage possibly hold him back?
Master Tianwen smiled and said, "One year is enough."
“The Yin spirit has two sides, good and evil. Over the past year, Tingyouhui and I have guided it, allowing the good side of the Yin spirit to revive and the evil side to be suppressed.”
"In this way, even if he wakes up, he will not bring any disaster."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen recalled the events.
When the Yin spirits were first resurrected, they did indeed have the idea of getting rid of evil.
After all, the aura of darkness and evil is like a purgatory that burns the heavens for the Yin God, and he himself has to endure great torment.
If he had a way, he would naturally want to suppress evil and become a benevolent being.
"But what if..."
Ye Chen was not blindly optimistic; what if the Yin God had fallen into evil?
"If the Yin spirit still falls into evil madness, that would indeed be very dangerous."
"Hmm, I've thought about it. The Temple of the End is going to hold a Divine Path Trial, and I will send someone to participate."
"That divine path has been clearly discovered by the Temple of the End; it is the divine path of the Gate."
"As long as one can embark on the path of the God of the Gate, one can find the most correct path among the three thousand Great Daos and the vastness of destiny, ensuring that the Yin God will not fall into evil."
"If even the divine path of the gate cannot guarantee correctness, then I can only burn this body to protect the world."
Master Tianwen smiled, his posture quite carefree, indicating he was prepared to sacrifice himself.
"The Trials of the Divine Path, the Gate of the Divine Path?"
Ye Chen murmured to himself. He had heard Ni Changjun mention before that the Temple of the End was about to hold a Divine Path Trial, but he did not know the specific details of the trial.
He didn't know what that divine path, shrouded in eerie mist, was.
So, it was the Path of the Doorkeeper?
"Yes, among the twelve divine paths, there is one divine path called the [Gate]."
"In the midst of chaos and confusion, to find the right path, one needs a 'door'."
"The divine path of this door is to find the right way and ensure that one never loses one's way."
"I've heard that the higher-ups in the Temple of the End are all a bunch of lunatics, all corrupted by chaos to varying degrees."
"That doorway was a lifeline for them."
"It is also extremely important to us."
"Lord of Reincarnation, will you participate in the Trial of the Gods?"
The Heavenly Questions were asked by the Patriarch.
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "I need to see what happens first. There are still many things to resolve."
Master Tianwen nodded and said, "Tell me what difficulties you are facing, and I will do my best to help you."
"You did a great job in imprisoning the Yin Spirit this time, and I will repay you."
He was grateful and had not forgotten Ye Chen's kindness.
The patriarch Tingyou, standing to the side, had a sullen face. He was not going to help Ye Chen, since the grudges and karma had already been wiped clean.
However, he did not deliberately make things difficult for Ye Chen, which was already considered very lenient; it was giving face to Ancestor Tianwen.
Ye Chen's heart stirred. Remembering that Jin and Ren Feifan were both in the Black Abyss Domain, their fates unknown, he turned to Ancestor Tianwen and said, "Ancestor, I do indeed have something to ask of you..."
He recounted how Ren Feifan's Dao Heart had collapsed, that he was hiding in the Black Abyss Domain, and that his fate was unknown. He also mentioned that Jin was in the Black Abyss Domain and might die at the hands of the Black Queen Mother.
Ye Chen only felt that the matter of the future Heavenly Demon was a bit strange, so he didn't go into details.
After listening, Master Tianwen pondered for a moment and said, "You want me to intervene and mediate to help you get your person back?"
Ye Chen said, "Exactly!"
If Ye Chen were to ask for the people himself, it would be extremely difficult, unless he were to wage a full-scale war against the Black Queen Mother.
If the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor were willing to intervene and mediate, that would be ideal.
The Heavenly Questioning Ancestor said, "The Black Queen Mother is arrogant and overbearing. I don't have enough influence to convince her to listen."
"Moreover, I have expended too much energy building this cage to suppress the Yin spirit, so it is inconvenient for me to set off."
"Well, you should go to the Illusionary Sea Mirror Pool first and ask the Dao Ancestor Wushi to come out of the mountain."
"If the Dao Ancestor Wushi were willing to come out of seclusion, the Black Queen Mother would at least give him some face."
"If the Dao Ancestor refuses to step in, it won't be too late for me to do so."
He never expected that the matter Ye Chen requested would have such a significant cause and effect, involving the Black Queen Mother.
Given his current state, he wouldn't have the confidence to negotiate with the Black Queen Mother.
After careful consideration, it would be better to ask the Dao Ancestor Wushi to intervene.
The Beginningless Dao Ancestor is the former Elder of the Heavenly Observation Sect, who is still within the territory of the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect.
Ye Chen's heart stirred, recalling that Yin Shen had also said that they could ask the Dao Ancestor Wushi to help them find the whereabouts of the Immortal Pool Paradise.
The fairy paradise in the Yin God's dream may have already been created, but its location is unknown.
In this world, only the Primordial Dao Ancestor can find his whereabouts.
The Primordial Dao Ancestor, who holds the power of the beginningless and primordial laws, can delve into the origins of all things and thus understand the fundamental secrets of heaven.
"Alright, I'll go and invite the Dao Ancestor Wushi."
Ye Chen nodded, stood up, bid farewell to Ancestor Tianwen, and then took Yuanzu with him to the Illusionary Sea Mirror Pool to meet Ancestor Wushi.
"The Beginningless Dao Ancestor, that's one of the Three Beginningless Dao Ancestors!"
"Outside of this world, I have seen the Dustless Dao Ancestor, one of the Three No Dao Ancestors. That Dustless Dao Ancestor was not afraid of Chaos, so the Beginningless Dao Ancestor must have been extremely powerful!"
The ancestor spoke, his voice filled with admiration.
The most dangerous thing outside the world is "chaos".
As for the Three Nothingness Dao Ancestor, due to his special "nothingness" attribute, he has a stronger ability to resist chaos than ordinary pillar gods. Ordinary chaotic evil gods simply cannot get close to him.
The three are one, and he also wanted to see the majesty of the Beginningless Dao Ancestor.
Soon, Ye Chen and Yuan Zu arrived at the Illusionary Sea Mirror Pool.
"Ancestor Wushi, I, Ye Chen, request an audience!"
Ye Chen stood by the Illusionary Sea Mirror Pool and called out loudly.
"Hehe, Lord of Reincarnation, Ancestor, please come to the island to meet me."
On the island in the center of the Illusory Sea Mirror Pool, came the kind voice of the Beginningless Dao Ancestor.
Ye Chen and Yuan Zu immediately crossed the water and landed on the island.
The Dao Ancestor Wushi came out to meet them, accompanied by a young man.
The young man was none other than Xiao Xingyun, a descendant of the Yuanzu.
Upon seeing the Yuanzu, Xiao Xingyun immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying:
“Ancestor above, your disciple is ashamed. When you descended before, your disciple failed to go and guide you.”
Previously, Xiao Xingyun had suffered various torments at the hands of Ancestor Tingyou, and even his Zhenyuan Spiritual Vein was removed, leaving him severely injured.
It was the Dao Ancestor Wushi who rescued him, and he healed his wounds by the side of the Dao Ancestor Wushi.
Yuanzu smiled and said, "It's alright, get up."
Xiao Xingyun stood up, bowed to Ye Chen, and called out, "Uncle!"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "No need to call me uncle anymore. I just made up this identity."
Xiao Xingyun now knew that Ye Chen was not actually the Heavenly Emperor, but the Lord of Reincarnation.
However, he didn't care and said, "Anyway, thank you and the Dao Ancestor Wushi for saving me."
Ye Chen nodded and said to Dao Ancestor Wushi, "Dao Ancestor, I have come here today to ask you for a favor."
The Dao Ancestor Wushi looked Ye Chen up and down, his eyes as bright as candlelight, and in an instant he had already seen all sorts of secrets of heaven.
Having glimpsed the secrets of heaven, his pupils contracted, and he pondered:
"Lord of Reincarnation, the karma entangled with you is truly considerable!"
Ye Chen said, "That's right, now the only thing we can do is ask the Dao Ancestor to come out of seclusion!"
The Dao Ancestor Wushi pondered for a moment, then calculated with his fingers and said, "It was Tianwen who sent you here, asking me to leave the mountain and ask the Black Queen Mother for someone?"
Ye Chen replied, "Yes!"
The Primordial Dao Ancestor frowned, pacing back and forth, looking somewhat troubled.
"It won't be easy to get people back from the Black Queen Mother."
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Is it not allowed?"
After pondering for a while, the Dao Ancestor Wushi said, "It is possible, but there will inevitably be a price to pay."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Fine, we are destined to meet, I will come down from the mountain to help you this once."
Upon hearing that the Dao Ancestor Wushi had agreed, Ye Chen was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"
He added, "Whatever the cost, I will do my best to make amends!"
Wushi Daozu hummed in agreement, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Lord of Reincarnation, you are destined to become a person of great stature."
"If you have the ability in the future, bring my body out and find a way to resurrect me."
Ye Chen was taken aback and asked, "What?"
