Chapter 12776 My Conditions
The Great Sun Venerable coughed twice, his face darkening slightly, as if there was some hidden ailment behind his radiant sun-like body.
He looked at Ren Feifan and said bluntly, "Great Heavenly Emperor, to be honest, I can roughly guess your purpose. You've come here for the Yang Chapter, haven't you?"
Ren Feifan picked up the tea on the table, took a small sip, and smiled without saying a word, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Seeing this, the Great Sun Venerable sighed softly: "It's impossible. You can't possibly take the Yang Chapter. Even if it were left for you to take, you couldn't. In fact, as soon as you get close, you would be burned to ashes by the pure Yang flames of the Yang Chapter."
He paused, then coughed a few times: "To be honest, I am a member of the Great Sun Clan. However, I am burdened by the Gray Mist Curse, and I have been tormented by this curse for many years."
"Theoretically speaking, the Yang Flame aura of the Yang Chapter can indeed cure the curse on my body, but the Yang Flame is too intense. If I were to withstand it, I would be reduced to ashes before the gray mist curse could dissipate."
"You want to seize the Yang Chapter? That's absolutely impossible."
Ren Feifan asked, "Is the Venerable One's curse still not healed?"
He seemed to know about the curse that the Great Sun Venerable was carrying.
The Great Sun Venerable sighed, "How can the curse of the Lord of Gray Mist be so easily resolved? It was my impulsiveness back then that led me to want to kill the Lord of Gray Mist in order to clear the way for the resurrection of the Sun."
"Resurrect the blazing sun?" Upon hearing this, Ye Chen keenly sensed something.
The Venerable Mahavairocana seemed to have some doubts, but only sighed softly and said no more.
Ren Feifan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a long while, and then said:
"The Yang chapter is vast and supreme, the source that gives birth to the blazing sun. I also know that thing, but even I cannot control it."
"I came here to ask for a few drinks. I've heard that the twilight bitter wine of the Great Sun Remnant Clan also contains the essence of the Great Sun."
"I only hope that Your Excellency can do me a favor and take me to the Great Sun Remnant Clan. I will reward you handsomely."
Ren Feifan was also frank, knowing that the Yang Chapter was too powerful, and that it would be very difficult for him and Ye Chen to seize it at present.
Just as the Great Sun Venerable said, even if the Yang Chapter were placed in front of the two, they would not be able to take it away; it would only be burned to ashes by the overwhelming Yang Flame.
He settled for second best, wanting only a few cups of bitter wine at dusk.
The Great Sun Venerable paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I was expelled from the Great Sun Clan long ago, so I can't take you in."
He now holds the highest position in the Holy Land of the Blazing Sun, and fearing that Ren Feifan might cause trouble, he treats him with courtesy.
However, he found it difficult to meet Ren Feifan's demands.
Ren Feifan smiled faintly and said, "Venerable One, we can make a deal. The Gray Mist Curse on your body is not actually unsolvable."
"What did you say?" The Great Sun Venerable suddenly raised his head. He had been tormented by this curse for countless years and had never been able to break free from it.
The methods of the Lord of Gray Mist are truly too cunning and bizarre.
Could it be that Ren Feifan has a way to solve this?
"I have a method, although it is a bit dangerous, but it is feasible."
Ren Feifan pointed to Ye Chen beside him: "Use his sword."
"Me?" Ye Chen was taken aback.
Ren Feifan said, "Yes, then use your sword to cut off the curse on the Great Sun Venerable."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was taken aback.
Gong Xuelian and the Great Sun Venerable were also shaken.
The Great Sun Venerable narrowed his eyes, looked Ye Chen up and down, and said, "I have heard that the Lord of Reincarnation is very powerful, but my Gray Mist Curse is not so easy to dispel."
Upon hearing the words "Lord of Reincarnation," Ye Chen's heart sank: "So he saw through my identity."
Come to think of it, although Ye Chen was extremely well hidden, the Great Sun Venerable had excellent insight, and with Ren Feifan by his side, the cause and effect were intertwined.
Moreover, Ye Chen is still in the Jinggou Division's residence, making it even more difficult to conceal his identity here.
Moreover, Ye Chen had seen the Great Sun Venerable before on the Fusang Ancient Road, so completely hiding himself now would be an impossible task.
"Oh dear, Master, what did you say? This person is the Lord of Reincarnation?"
"I've heard that the Lord of Reincarnation was possessed by the Abyss and is the darkest and most evil person in the world, this..."
Upon hearing this, Gong Xuelian was utterly shocked. She stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen, feeling a chill run down her spine.
The sun has set, and the Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli fears nothing more than being tainted by darkness and polluting the earth's veins.
A destructive evil god, plus a reincarnation lord burdened with the abyss—if anything goes wrong, it could destroy the entire Pure Land. Gong Xuelian was practically fainting.
Ye Chen's lips twitched slightly. Had the rumors outside become this outrageous? They were saying that he had been possessed by the Abyss.
The Great Sun Venerable raised his hand, signaling Gong Xuelian not to panic, and said, "The Lord of Reincarnation carries the abyss on his back and wields the Intercepting Sword. He is indeed involved in countless treacherous causes and effects."
“I had learned of his arrival with the First Tyrant and wanted to suppress him.”
"However, now that the Great Heavenly Emperor is protecting us, I don't think anything will go wrong."
Ren Feifan said, "It would be wonderful if Your Excellency would be so understanding."
"Ye Chen wields the Intercepting Sword, a sword capable of cutting through ten thousand paths."
"In other words, as long as Ye Chen draws his sword and strikes the Venerable One, he might be able to break the curse on the Venerable One."
"What?!" Gong Xuelian was immediately filled with shock and anger. "You want to kill my master?"
The Great Sun Venerable frowned slightly; he was well aware of the terrifying power of the Intercepting Dao Sword.
That sword was created to sever chaos, but it was later discovered that this was impractical. However, it still possesses the ability to sever the blazing sun.
The Primordial Ancestor once strictly forbade anyone from forging the Intercepting Sword.
That's a forbidden sword!
Theoretically speaking, the Intercepting Sword, which severs all paths, could indeed potentially sever the curse on him, but it would be too dangerous.
Ren Feifan said, "It is indeed quite dangerous, but this is the only way."
Ye Chen said uneasily, "This is too risky. The Intercepting Sword is sharp and fierce. If it is not controlled properly, it will not only fail to dispel the curse, but will also injure the Venerable."
Ren Feifan raised his hand and said, "I believe in your sword, Ye Chen."
The Great Sun Venerable One fell silent, his hands forming hand seals as he deduced various auspicious and inauspicious omens.
After weighing the pros and cons, he realized that he had been tormented by the Gray Mist Curse for many years and was already exhausted both physically and mentally. Now that there was hope of breaking the curse, even if there were risks, it was worth a try.
After a moment of contemplation, the Great Sun Venerable sighed, pointed at Ye Chen, and said:
"Lord of Reincarnation, in truth, I do not believe you."
He paused, then pointed at Ren Feifan: "But I believe in the Great Heavenly Emperor."
"Since the Great Heavenly Emperor has spoken, then please make your move. Even if I get hurt, I will accept it."
His tone revealed his extreme admiration for Ren Feifan, explaining that he was only willing to let Ye Chen slay him because of Ren Feifan's word.
"Master!" Gong Xuelian cried out anxiously, trying to dissuade him, but was stopped by the Great Sun Venerable.
"Make your move, Lord of Reincarnation."
The Great Sun Venerable looked at Ye Chen, slowly stood up, and walked to the open space outside the pavilion. "If you can break the curse for me, I can lead you into the Great Sun Remnant Clan."
A hazy, gray aura emanated from the body of the Great Sun Venerable.
That aura was cold and hazy, causing the surrounding temperature to drop and the spiritual energy in the air to become turbid.
This is clearly the gray mist curse within the body of the Great Sun Venerable!
The Venerable Mahavairocana stood still, already prepared.
Ye Chen looked at Ren Feifan, still undecided.
Ren Feifan said, "Go ahead and draw your sword."
"Hmm!" Ye Chen took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, and slowly drew the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword.
The moment the sword was drawn, a sharp edge sliced through the air. There was no earth-shattering roar, but it exuded a fierce power that could cut through everything.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me."
With a single step, Ye Chen appeared before the Great Sun Venerable. With a slight flick of his wrist, the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword, carrying a faint shimmering light, gently slashed at the gray mist curse swirling around the Great Sun Venerable.
He controlled his strength with exquisite precision. The blade grazed the chest of the Great Sun Venerable without directly touching his body, using only the sword light to extinguish the hazy aura of the curse.
The moment the sword light fell, the gray mist emitted a piercing hissing sound, as if ice and snow were being torn apart and severed by the intercepting sword intent.
The chilling, hazy aura of curse was completely severed by Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword, turning into wisps of gray smoke in mid-air and disappearing without a trace.
However, some of the fierce sword intent of the Intercepting Sword still managed to infiltrate the body of the Great Sun Venerable.
The Great Sun Venerable trembled, but did not resist, allowing the sword energy to enter his body. Then his face turned pale instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.
A gruesome sword wound appeared on his chest, dripping with blood.
"Master!" Gong Xuelian exclaimed in shock, rushing forward to support the Great Sun Venerable. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and anger as she turned to glare at Ye Chen, "You hurt Master!"
Ye Chen sheathed the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword, frowned slightly, and asked, "Venerable One, why?"
"With your strength, you should be able to defend against even a little bit of my leaked sword intent."
When Ye Chen drew his sword just now, some sword energy leaked out, which could potentially injure people.
But given the Great Sun Venerable's cultivation level, there's no reason why this overflowing sword energy could harm him.
The Venerable Mahavairocana wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Far from being angry, he burst into laughter, his voice hearty and clear, and said:
"I'm being cautious by letting the Intercepting Sword Qi enter my body, which can completely eradicate the Gray Mist Curse."
He pushed away Gong Xuelian's support, stretched his body, and felt his own body. The cold and stagnant gray mist curse had completely dissipated, completely severed by the Intercepting Sword.
He was incredibly excited, yet also filled with sighs, his gaze fixed on the sword in Ye Chen's hand.
"This sword is truly defying the heavens!"
"No wonder the progenitor of the Sun in those days listed this sword as a taboo. This sword does indeed have the power to cut off all paths."
"My Gray Mist Curse was so easily extinguished! Cough... cough cough..."
As he finished speaking, he coughed violently again, but not from the gray mist, but from the impact of Ye Chen's Intercepting Sword Intent. At this moment, his internal organs suffered some internal injuries.
But this internal injury is insignificant and not worth mentioning compared to the Gray Mist Curse.
Ye Chen remained silent; this was not an easy task.
For him, wielding the Heavenly Emperor's Intercepting Sword with such precision was extremely taxing on his mind.
Moreover, this also shows that Venerable Da Ri himself has profound cultivation, knows how to cooperate with Ye Chen, guide the sword momentum, and withstand the ferocity of the Intercepting Sword.
Ren Feifan stood up and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Venerable One, on the cure of your long-standing ailment."
The Great Sun Venerable laughed for a long time before gradually calming down. His expression became solemn again, and with Gong Xuelian's help, he slowly sat back down and said:
"Great Heavenly Emperor, Lord of Reincarnation, well, you have helped me a great deal. If you wish to go to the Great Sun Remnant Clan, I will certainly assist you."
"However, because I was too involved with the outside world back then and violated the rules of the Great Sun Clan, I was driven out by my clan members and will never be able to return to my homeland."
"It will be extremely difficult for you to enter the Great Sun Remnant Clan."
Ye Chen's face darkened. Could it be that the old man had broken his promise after he had just saved the Great Sun Venerable and refused to take him to the Great Sun Clan?
The Great Sun Venerable continued, "Don't worry, I can't take you in, but I can ask my junior brother, the Holy Lord of Candlelight, to come forward."
"Both he and I are named practitioners on the path of the blazing sun. We cultivated together back then and have a deep friendship."
"He is currently at the Throat of Abyss Forging, exchanging forging techniques with the Throat of Abyss Forging's master, Remnant Sun. In a few days, he will return to the Great Sun Clan."
"Although I was driven out by the remnants of the Great Sun Clan, my relationship with my junior brother is still good. I can write you a letter of recommendation, and he will help you as appropriate after seeing the letter."
At this point, Venerable Mahavairocana changed the subject, "But I have one condition: only one of you can go to the Mahavairocana clan; the other must stay."
Ye Chen asked, "Why?"
The Great Sun Venerable said frankly, "The two of you, one is the Great Heavenly Emperor who wields the divine power of destruction, and the other is the Lord of Reincarnation who carries the abyss and wields the Intercepting Sword. Your strength is too formidable."
“If you unite, and chaos breaks out within the Great Sun Remnant Clan, it may overthrow the entire Great Sun Remnant Clan.”
"People in our clan are inherently very wary of outsiders, so it's difficult for me to handle this matter perfectly."
Ye Chen and Ren Feifan exchanged a glance, both understanding the concerns of the Great Sun Venerable.
Ye Chenshi was unwilling to separate from Ren Feifan and wanted to argue, but Ren Feifan stopped him by raising his hand.
Ren Feifan looked at the Great Sun Venerable and said, "Then I will do as the Venerable says. I will stay here and let Ye Chen go to the Great Sun Clan alone."
"I am here to guard against the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother."
The Venerable Mahavairocana, seeing that the extraordinary person was willing to understand, clasped his hands and said, "Thank you!"
At that moment, Venerable Mahavairocana took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a letter of recommendation.
The letter stated that Ye Chen was recommended by the author and earnestly requested the Holy Lord of Candlelight's assistance in bringing him into the Great Sun Remnant Clan.
After stamping his personal seal, he handed the letter to Ye Chen: "Lord of Reincarnation, take this letter and go to the Throat of Abyss Forging. Find the Holy Lord of Candlelight. He will surely help you after seeing this letter."
"But you must remember that the Throat of Abyss is the territory of Remnant Sun, and you must never provoke Remnant Sun."
When the "setting sun" was mentioned, the Venerable Mahavairocana's tone was full of fear.
Once a prisoner at the lowest level, Canyang accidentally refined a fragment of the Primordial Sun Ancestor, and soared to become one of the top experts in the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land, with power even surpassing that of the Great Sun Venerable.
However, Canyang had a whimsical temper and once claimed to be the reincarnation of Jiaoyang. If anyone dared to offend Canyang, he would surely unleash divine punishment and burn them to death.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will be careful."
Ye Chen accepted the letter of recommendation, put it away, bowed slightly to Venerable Da Ri and Ren Feifan, and then turned to leave.
After leaving the mansion, Ye Chen once again concealed his aura, concealing all his sharpness to avoid unnecessary trouble, and flew towards the direction of the Throat of Abyss Forging.
He knew in his heart that the Throat of Abyss Forging was the territory of the Remnant Sun, and the grudge between him and the Remnant Sun was indeed considerable.
Back in the Golden District, he attempted to devour the power of the setting sun, but unexpectedly suffered a backlash. The Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword shattered on the spot to protect its master.
The setting sun naturally had no liking for this person who dared to dream of swallowing the sun.
Even Ye Chen himself knew that he was sick at the time, and his Dao heart was being eroded by the abyss, which caused him to have such a twisted greed.
This journey to the Throat of Abyss Forging is extremely dangerous; a slight misstep could result in the suppression of the setting sun.
About two days later, Ye Chen arrived at the foot of the Throat of Abyss Forging.
This is a majestic and towering mountain, strategically located at a vital passage, hence its name.
Ye Chen looked up and saw that the mountain was steep and ravines were deep. From a distance, it looked like a giant beast lying in wait, exuding a powerful aura.
Beyond this throat of abyss lies the core area of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land.
