Chapter 12660 The Invitation from Crimson Gold Mountain

While absorbing the Chaos Divine Source, Nightmare Demon Mountain glanced at the severed limb of the Female Sun Goddess and chuckled:

"This Crimson Gold Mountain is a strategic location that I vaguely sensed, and it seems to contain the remains of the Goddess of the Sun."

"Tsk tsk, those are two round, white mounds, flowing with sacred milk. If one could drink a sip, one's life would be worthwhile!"

He licked his lips again, looking incredibly drooling.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed.

After listening to Nightmare Demon Mountain's account, he obtained a clue to the secrets of heaven. He used his Primordial Spirit Eye to see and also glimpsed the place where some of the remains of the Female Yang God had fallen.

Some of the remains fell to a place called Crimson Gold Mountain, which should be the breast of the goddess of the sun, bright and holy, flowing with pure white juice.

He vaguely saw some images, which were both sacred and beautiful, yet incredibly eerie, sending chills down his spine.

There was only the female yang goddess's breasts, nothing else.

Ye Chen also shuddered. If you looked at the female Yang Goddess as a whole, she would naturally be considered a beauty. But now that she was broken and perished in pieces, even the most beautiful woman would become strange.

The corpse itself is an extremely strange and dark existence. If the female yang god's corpse is left uncollected for a long time, it will also turn into a dark and evil thing after the holy light dissipates.

At that time, what flows out of the Crimson Gold Mountain will no longer be sacred milk, but poison!

As Ye Chen pondered the possibilities of the future, he grew increasingly terrified.

"Tell me exactly where Chijin Mountain is located."

Ye Chen asked.

He can now also see that part of the female Yang Goddess's remains fell into the Crimson Gold Mountain.

However, he couldn't calculate the exact coordinates of Crimson Gold Mountain. That place probably didn't belong to the other side of the starry sky; it was most likely a piece of land that drifted from outside the world.

That is why, despite numerous deductions by Haotian Lanshen and others, he could not find any clues, and only Nightmare Demon Mountain could glimpse the secrets of heaven.

"Where exactly is it? Hmm... I can't see it clearly either. There are layers of unusual chaotic energy covering it, as if there are incredibly powerful beings fighting there, obscuring and disrupting the secrets of heaven."

Nightmare Demon Mountain pondered, trying to find out the whereabouts of Crimson Gold Mountain, but he couldn't see the truth. He could only see layers of strange chaotic energy and the aura of a battle between powerful figures.

Are there any strong fighters battling it out?

Ye Chen wondered if someone had already gone to Crimson Gold Mountain and even fought each other over the remains of the Goddess of the Sun.

"Hehe, Great Demon Lord, you can investigate the truth for yourself."

Nightmare Demon Mountain said nothing more. After absorbing all the divine source of the Chaos Ancestor, he sat cross-legged like a human, meditating and refining his energy.

Strands of chaotic evil energy continuously spewed out from its mouth, nose, and pores. Fortunately, the Reincarnation Graveyard was protected by the Immortal Pool and Spiritual Spring; otherwise, it would have been corrupted long ago.

Ye Chen had no choice but to continue trying to deduce and investigate the whereabouts of Crimson Gold Mountain with Haotian Lanshen and the others.

Another day passed, and that morning, a clear, ancient bell rang out from the depths of the Temple of the End.

This is to gather manpower and reopen the seal on the Star Seal.

Upon hearing the bell, Ye Chen left the Illusionary Mirror Cave and headed to the main hall of the Temple of the End to participate in the sealing.

He had already discussed this Star Seal with the Temple of the End; this treasure would be used as a prize for the Divine Path Trial.

Upon entering the main hall, Ye Chen discovered that all eight branch hall masters had arrived, along with an elderly man in a black cloak, his hood pulled up to cover most of his face, leaning on a skull-shaped wooden cane. This was none other than the deputy hall master, "The Shepherd."

"Hey, this is..."

When Ye Chen saw the shepherd, he pretended not to have seen him before and asked him a question.

"I am an old shepherd, the deputy temple master of the Temple of the End, and the Lord of Reincarnation. Greetings."

The shepherd responded to Ye Chen indifferently, raised his head, and revealed a skeletal face covered with rotting flesh.

Ye Chen remained unassuming, calmly cupping his hands and saying, "So you are the Vice Hall Master? It's a pleasure to meet you. Was it you, Vice Hall Master, who personally sealed the Star Seal today?"

The shepherd looked Ye Chen up and down, trying to find some clue, but he couldn't see any flaws. He guessed that the changes in Yongji Finger Mountain were related to Ye Chen, but he couldn't find any evidence.

After a pause, the shepherd didn't delve too deeply into it and said calmly, "Yes, this Star Seal is no ordinary object. It would be safer for me to come out of seclusion and participate in the sealing."

He didn't delve too deeply into the changes at Yongji Finger Mountain because the remains of the Dao Ancestor Wuzhong had not been taken away or harmed.

As for the disappearance of the remnants of light, he didn't care too much, only thinking that his senior brother "Butcher" had devoured them.

As long as the remains of the Dao Ancestor Wuzhong are intact, everything else is irrelevant.

Ye Chen was well aware that day that if he forcibly took away the remains of the Dao Ancestor of No End, he would definitely break ties with the Temple of the End, triggering a massive battle, and he might even lose his life!

Therefore, he was very cautious and did not act rashly.

Since the remains of the Dao Ancestor Wuzhong were neither stolen nor damaged, the shepherd naturally did not pursue the matter further and let it pass.

Ye Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the shepherd's appearance, he probably wouldn't pursue the matter any further.

However, the Temple of the End will definitely strengthen its guard over the Eternal Silence Pointing Mountain, making it extremely difficult for him to seize the corpse of the Endless Dao Ancestor in the future.

"let's start."

The shepherd looked at the Star Seal, which floated in the hall, radiating brilliant starlight. There were also streams of stellar laws flowing around it, as well as a faint golden light. That golden light seemed to belong to no law, yet it transcended all laws.

This is clearly a top-tier divine artifact. Holding the Star Seal allows one to control all the stars in the heavens, and even suppress chaos with the wisp of golden light hidden within the Star Seal!

The shepherd struck first, his wooden staff tip flicking out, and an invisible ripple of law spread out, enveloping the Star Seal.

The law he released was an extremely special law of shepherding, which can be considered a branch of the law of the end.

The shepherds, acting on behalf of Heaven, must guide the lost souls back to their way home, leading them to the final pasture and graveyard.

"You want to seal me away?"

A roar came from within the Star Seal, and a man wearing a star robe and surrounded by divine light floated out. He was the Star God from before, and could be considered the spirit of the Star Seal.

The Star God's eyes widened in fury, seemingly unwilling to be sealed, and he roared:
"I am a spirit general under the Great Heavenly Emperor, who dares to suppress me?"

He roared, uttering the words "Great Heavenly Emperor," which sounded like the divine voice of the Great Dao, resounding throughout the heavens and shaking the entire temple.

Ye Chen, the Shepherd, and the heads of the various branch halls all changed their expressions upon hearing the words "Great Heavenly Emperor."

The Great Heavenly Emperor is one of the most powerful figures in legend.

He does not belong to any of the divine paths, yet he controls all of them. He is the god of gods, the emperor of all emperors, and the supreme being.

The legend of the Great Heavenly Emperor is now taboo. Ye Chen only learned about the secrets of the Great Heavenly Emperor from Jing Liyue.

Upon hearing the Star God Artifact Spirit of the Star Seal call out the name of the Great Heavenly Emperor, Ye Chen was immediately alarmed.

Could it be that this Star Seal is actually related to that Great Heavenly Emperor?

The eight branch palace masters present were also shocked. None of them had ever heard of the Great Heavenly Emperor's name, nor had they ever glimpsed those ancient legends.

However, the overwhelming aura contained in the three words "Great Heavenly Emperor" made their heads buzz, and they wanted to kneel down.

The shepherd's expression was grim. He seemed to know the legend of the Great Heavenly Emperor. He coldly looked at the Star God artifact spirit and said:
"What Great Heavenly Emperor? You have strayed from the right path, child. Return to the straight path, enter my final chapter, and your soul will be cleansed of its filth and reborn in a new world."

As he spoke, he tapped the tip of his staff several times, and the Law of Shepherd shone with white light, attempting to suppress the Star God Artifact Spirit and return it to the Star Seal.

The spirit of the Star Artifact gritted its teeth, pushed out with both palms, and resisted the shepherd's suppression.

The will-o'-the-wisps in the shepherd's eyes flickered violently, clearly showing signs of being unable to be suppressed, and he shouted:
"Quickly lend me a hand!"

Ye Chen and the eight palace masters immediately took action, unleashing a series of spiritual techniques. Immediately, a shower of colorful lights appeared, and numerous spiritual techniques and sealing restrictions were used to suppress the spirit of the Star God artifact.

These various forbidden techniques were complex and chaotic, but under the shepherd's guidance, all the forces converged into one, transforming into a torrent that forcefully suppressed them.

His Law of Shepherding is incredibly profound, capable of guiding everything. All sorts of chaotic energies, under the guidance of his Law of Shepherding, become as orderly as lambs on their way home.

The auras of everyone dissipated and pressed down on the spirit of the Star God artifact.

Unable to withstand the pressure, the spirit of the Star God let out a mournful cry and was forced into the seal. Layer upon layer of sealing talismans were also added to the seal.

The Star Seal was then completely suppressed and sealed.

"call……"

After the seal was completed, the shepherd let out a sigh of relief, and the ghostly flames in his eyes weakened somewhat.

Clearly, the suppression and sealing he had just endured had taken a considerable toll on him.

After the star seals were sealed, they fell from the sky and were caught safely by the shepherd.

"Lord of Reincarnation, as agreed, this magic treasure shall be the prize for the Divine Path Trial. You have no objections, do you?"

The shepherd looked at Ye Chen and said.

"can."

Ye Chen nodded; he would naturally not break his promise.

Moreover, he used some of his power during the sealing process, so if the shepherds tampered with this object, he would be able to sense it to some extent.

Seeing that Ye Chen was no longer making things difficult, the shepherd chuckled with satisfaction and said:

"The Lord of Reincarnation is a gentleman, whose word is as good as gold, and I greatly admire him."

"Well, I have something I'd like to discuss with the Lord of Reincarnation."

Ye Chen was puzzled and asked, "What is it?"

The shepherd tapped his cane lightly and said to the Nightmare Lord, the Lord of the End of Light, and the others present, "You may all step back."

The others were also somewhat puzzled, wondering what important matter the shepherd had to discuss with Ye Chen alone, but they dared not disobey, so they all agreed and left.

Soon, only Ye Chen and the shepherd remained in the main hall.

The shepherd pondered for a moment, then said:
“Yesterday, the Grand Master summoned me, saying that there was a place where a divine object of light might be born, and asked me to go and investigate.”

"But that place is very hidden. I only know it is called Chijin Mountain, but I don't know its exact coordinates."

"I want to work with the Lord of Reincarnation to deduce the whereabouts of the Crimson Gold Mountain."

"If we find the divine object of light, my Temple of the End will surely reward us handsomely."

"Red Gold Mountain?" Upon hearing the words "Red Gold Mountain," Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Judging from the shepherd's appearance, he seemed to know the special nature of Crimson Gold Mountain, where divine beings of light were born.

However, he was unaware that the luminous divine object was actually the remains of the female sun goddess.

Ye Chen said, "Senior, your sect practices the Way of the End, which is intolerable to the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss. If there is any divine object of light, it should be a taboo existence for your sect."

The shepherd sighed and said, "That's true, but the Grand Master assigned me to investigate the details of that divine object of light. However, I couldn't find out the whereabouts of Crimson Gold Mountain, so I wanted to deduce it together with the Lord of Reincarnation."

Ye Chen thought to himself, the remains of the female Yang Goddess that fell on Crimson Gold Mountain were a pair of breasts, with divine fluid flowing out. In terms of value, they were much higher than the severed arm of Eternal Silence Finger Mountain.

If the Temple of the End were to seize it, that would be extremely bad.

"I'm sorry, senior shepherd, I have urgent business to attend to and cannot help you."

Ye Chen cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and politely declined.

He himself wanted the remains of the female Yang Goddess, so how could he possibly cooperate with the Temple of the End?
However, he did not expect that the Temple of the End would discover the secrets of Crimson Gold Mountain so quickly. It seems that the Grand Temple Master is indeed very powerful.

"is it?"

The shepherd was somewhat disappointed when Ye Chen refused.

"Farewell."

Ye Chen did not wish to stay any longer, so he clasped his hands in farewell and left.

After leaving the temple, he went to the Illusionary Mirror Cave again, but even Jing Liyue could not find out the whereabouts of Crimson Gold Mountain.

That place seems to be closely connected to the outside world by cause and effect. Even Jing Liyue would have to pay a huge price to try to explore it!
Ye Chen did not insist. He bid farewell to Jing Liyue and returned to Jiu Cang Academy, intending to discuss the matter with his own faction.

He returned to Jiucang Academy, and as soon as he returned to the Morning Sun Flower Sea, Ye Xingcai came to his door to find him.

Ye Xingcai's lips were pale, and she looked bewildered. She grabbed Ye Chen's arm and said weakly:

"Uncle Ye, I... I've discovered something."

Seeing her pale face, Ye Chen quickly asked, "Xingcai, what's wrong? You look terrible!"

Ye Xingcai shook her head and said, "I...I had a nightmare. I dreamt...I dreamt that my mother's body was being bitten by thousands of insects. She...she was so pitiful."

"I...I want to save her!"

As she spoke, she pulled on Ye Chen's arm, seemingly wanting to go with him to save her mother.

But tormented by nightmares, she was too weak, and after taking only a few steps, she collapsed into Ye Chen's arms.

"What did you dream about?"

Ye Chen helped her up.

Ye Xingcai bit her lip and said, "Red Gold Mountain... go to Red Gold Mountain, my mother's body is there!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand with difficulty, and clouds floated in her palm, outlining a scene.

There were two large hills, but they were crawling with insects, countless insects, gnawing at the two hills. The scene looked quite eerie, dark and creepy.

This is a scene from her nightmare!
Upon taking a look, Ye Chen immediately and clearly saw the coordinates of Crimson Gold Mountain!

The exact coordinates of the Crimson Gold Mountain, which he had been unable to understand before, were finally revealed after he saw the images displayed by Ye Xingcai!

"You're very weak, you need to rest!"

"Don't worry too much, I'll go save your mother!"

Ye Chen supported Ye Xingcai's body, channeled his inner energy to nourish her life force, and then had someone take her to the Morning Dawn Flower Sea Palace to recuperate.

Judging from Ye Xingcai's appearance, she was clearly in sync with the Female Yang Goddess and sensed the location of the Female Yang Goddess's remains.

The remains were the breasts of the female yang goddess, which had transformed into two large hills in a place called Crimson Gold Mountain!

A thousand thoughts flashed through Ye Chen's mind. Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn, and he learned the whereabouts of Crimson Gold Mountain from Ye Xingcai.
