Chapter 12775 Destruction Descends
Ye Chen nodded and, without wasting any words, immediately recounted his experiences over the past few days in detail.
The deal with the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, being bound by the God-Binding Chains, forging the Heavenly Emperor's Intercepting Sword, breaking into the Graveyard of Time to retrieve the cup, finally severing the God-Binding Chains, breaking with the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, killing the Crimson Patrolman, and infiltrating the Hall of Scriptures to investigate clues to the Yang Chapter...
Ren Feifan listened quietly to these experiences, his expression becoming serious, and said:
"I have glimpsed some of the secrets of heaven, but the current situation is more dangerous than I imagined."
“You have completely offended the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations. That woman is incredibly powerful, and she will definitely not let this go. She might be watching you from the shadows right now.”
"As for your desire to seize the Yang Chapter, it seems far too difficult now."
"The Yang Chapter is the foundation of the Sacred Sun Land, containing the supreme pure Yang law. Not to mention that the Great Sun Clan protects it very well, even if you could find it, with your current cultivation level, you simply wouldn't be able to control it."
"Even getting close could result in being burned to ashes by the blazing sun. To rashly try to seize it now would have an extremely low chance of success and would be nothing short of suicide."
Ye Chen's expression darkened, and he said, "But we must obtain the Yang Chapter..."
He knew that obtaining the Yang Chapter would not be easy, but it was of great importance. He needed the Yang Chapter to resolve the calamity of the Abyss, save Panwu Tianzun, and avert the disaster in the Jin Yao District.
Ren Feifan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "There is a compromise at the moment. We can go and get the Twilight Bitter Wine first."
"Twilight Bitter Wine?" Ye Chen looked puzzled.
Ren Feifan nodded and explained, "This wine is also called Yang Marrow Wine. It contains a trace of the essence of the Great Sun and is said to be closely related to the spiritual energy of the Yang Chapter."
"The Yang Chapter itself is vast and magnificent, and extremely intense. Even a Heavenly Pillar Realm expert would find it difficult to refine and control it."
"But someone used the spiritual energy flowing from the Yang chapter to brew this bitter wine of dusk. Ordinary cultivators who drink it can not only nourish their cultivation, but also absorb the spiritual energy of the Yang chapter, which will also be of great help to you in dissolving the abyss."
“Bring the Twilight Bitter Wine back to the Golden District and sprinkle it on Panwu Heavenly Venerable. Even if it cannot completely dispel his chaotic evil energy, it can greatly alleviate it and resolve the disaster in the Golden District.”
Ye Chen was surprised and doubtful: "The spiritual energy of the Yang chapter can be used to brew wine?"
At this point, he suddenly recalled the records he had seen in the Hall of Classics, which stated that the Great Sun Remnant Clan was a race born from the spiritual energy of the Yang Chapter.
Since spiritual energy can nurture life, it doesn't seem surprising that it can be used to brew wine. He immediately understood, "It was my ignorance."
Ren Feifan said, "Yes, I also need this bitter wine of twilight."
"I have merged with the power of the Destruction God, but now my cultivation is stuck at a bottleneck, and I am still unable to step into the mid-stage of the Heavenly Pillar Realm."
“Now, the dark aura brought by the power of destruction is too strong. When I tested my sword in the Shayao District before, I found that this dark aura was about to be suppressed. If I am not careful, I may be devoured by it.”
"The essence of the sun in the bitter wine of dusk can suppress the darkness within me and help me break through the bottleneck. As for the Yang chapter, I don't dare to hope for it. I have been deducing it in detail during this period of time, and that thing is probably not easy to control."
Ye Chen said, "If the First Tyrant can control the Yin Chapter, why can't we control the Yang Chapter?"
Ren Feifan shook his head and said, "It's different. The First Tyrant still has the Gray Mist, which can be used to block the Yin Chapter's erosion. We have nothing. We can't control either the Yin Chapter or the Yang Chapter."
"Gray Mist?" Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, recalling what the Great Sun Venerable had once said: the First Tyrant was a slave of the Gray Mist.
Could it be that there is some connection between the First Tyrant and the Lord of the Gray Mist?
Ren Feifan said, "Don't be too ambitious. The Yang chapter is too difficult to master. Let's find a way to get the Twilight Bitter Wine first."
Ye Chen asked, "Where is the Bitter Wine of Twilight?"
Ren Feifan said, "The true bitter wine of twilight is only available to the descendants of the Great Sun Clan; outsiders simply cannot obtain it."
"However, Wanfang City is a mixed bag, and there are many wineries that imitate the taste of Dusk Bitter Wine, brewing a kind of Sunset Bamboo Wine with the essence of the Sunfire minerals and spiritual herbs. Although it is not as mellow as the real Dusk Bitter Wine, it still contains a trace of the essence of the Sunfire, which is better than nothing."
"I can take you to look for some; maybe we can find some good quality ones."
Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he asked again, "How does Senior know so many clues about the Sacred Sun Land?"
He was very curious; Ren Feifan seemed to know all the secrets of the Sacred Sun Land.
Ren Feifan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? I am the Great Heavenly Emperor."
“My people, the people from the Golden District, originally came from the Holy Land of the Sun, but they left here later.”
“They have memories of the Sacred Land of the Blazing Sun. I can glimpse some of them indirectly. By deducing from these clues, I can roughly get a glimpse of the current state of the Sacred Land of the Blazing Sun.”
Ye Chen was taken aback, having overlooked this point.
Ren Feifan smiled and said, "Let's go, get ready, I'll take you to the city for a stroll."
After saying that, Ren Feifan transformed himself and changed into a clean set of clothes.
Ye Chen quickly tidied himself up, concealed his identity and aura, and followed Ren Feifan out of the cave, heading towards Wanfang City.
"Senior Ren, aren't you going to hide your identity?"
Ye Chen saw that Ren Feifan still had a destructive aura circulating on his body. This destructive aura carried a kind of oppressive force like dark clouds pressing down on a city.
"The higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to conceal one's aura. I'd better not; I don't want to overexert myself."
Ren Feifan shook his head. He did want to completely conceal his aura, but the aura of the Tree of Life had already completely merged with the power of the Destruction God, making it extremely difficult for him to hide it completely.
Ye Chen asked no more questions and arrived in Wanfang City with Ren Feifan.
Wanfang City remained bustling with activity, but the patrols by the Cleansing Division were even more stringent than before.
Ren Feifan led Ye Chen, bypassing the patrolling cultivators and weaving through alleys, until they finally found a small winery in a secluded corner of the south of the city.
A worn-out wooden sign hangs at the entrance of the distillery, bearing the words "Bamboo Distillery," and a faint aroma of wine wafts from inside.
The two entered the distillery. The distillery owner was an old man with a wrinkled face. When he looked up and saw Ren Feifan, his face turned pale instantly, and his eyes were filled with fear and surprise. He almost dropped the wine pot in his hand.
Even if Ren Feifan didn't release it intentionally, just a wisp of the destructive pressure emanating from him was terrifying to ordinary people.
"Two...two esteemed guests, what would you like to drink?" The owner tried to remain calm, but his voice was trembling slightly.
Ren Feifan asked casually, "Do you have any Sunset Bamboo Wine?"
The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Yes...yes, please wait a moment, I'll go get it right away." After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked into the inner room, not daring to look at Ren Feifan again.
Before long, the owner came out carrying two earthenware bowls and a wine jar, and carefully poured the wine into the bowls.
Ye Chen looked at it and saw that the wine in the bowl was a pale gold color, exuding a faint bamboo fragrance and a gentle warmth like the afterglow of the sun, with a very rich spiritual energy.
Ren Feifan picked up a bowl, handed it to Ye Chen, and said with a smile, "Try it. Although it's not the real twilight bitter wine, its effects are still quite good."
Ye Chen took the ceramic bowl, took a small sip, and felt a warm sensation flow into his body through his throat, nourishing his meridians. The abyssal energy within him was also slightly suppressed, and he felt much more comfortable.
"Good wine!"
"However, this wine is probably not cheap."
Ye Chen glanced at the boss, who looked pained and distressed.
Clearly, this Sunset Bamboo Wine was quite valuable. The shopkeeper thought Ye Chen and Ren Feifan were going to eat and drink for free, so he felt sorry for them. However, he dared not say anything in front of Ren Feifan, the Lord of Destruction.
Ren Feifan took the sword from his waist, placed it on the table, and said to the shopkeeper:
"Boss, this sword should be enough as payment for the drinks."
His sword was forged from the essence of his life, fused with the energy of the gods of destruction. Even if the Sunset Bamboo Wine is precious, it cannot compare to the value of his sword.
When the shopkeeper saw the sword surrounded by wisps of destructive aura, he panicked and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No need, no need."
Ren Feifan just smiled and put his sword aside.
Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, "Senior, I have some Sunburst Crystals, which are the hard currency here. They can be used as payment for drinks, so there's no need..."
Ren Feifan raised his hand to stop him, saying, "No need. Just use my sword. I have a sword, but it's a hindrance, hindering my breakthrough."
These words had a somewhat mysterious quality, and Ye Chen remained silent.
The two sat facing each other, no longer speaking, slowly drinking together. The wine shop was quiet, with only the soft sounds of their drinking filling the air.
But this quiet didn't last long.
Da da da……
A series of heavy footsteps came from outside the wine shop. A group of cultivators dressed in tight-fitting clothes rushed into the wine shop. Judging from their attire, they were people from the Cleansing Department.
The leader was a woman, dressed in a moon-white robe.
"The Cleansing... Cleansing Department?"
Seeing that things were going badly, the shop owner shuddered and quickly hid behind the counter.
Ren Feifan remained seated, his expression unchanged, without getting up.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. He recognized the woman at the head of the group; she was Gong Xuelian, whom he had met in the Hall of Scriptures before.
"The legendary Lord of Destruction has graced my sacred land of the Radiant Sun with his presence, without even a greeting?"
As soon as Gong Xuelian entered the room, her gaze was fixed on Ren Feifan, her eyes filled with vigilance and solemnity.
Judging from Gong Xuelian's posture, Ye Chen realized that she was targeting Ren Feifan, not him.
Then, Gong Xuelian saw Ye Chen opposite Ren Feifan and exclaimed, "Ah!" She said, "It's you, you liar! You're here too!"
That day, she was deceived by Ye Chen in the Hall of Classics. After returning, she asked her teachers and elders, and they said that no nobles of the Great Sun Clan had come recently.
She had been gritting her teeth these past few days, searching everywhere for Ye Chen's whereabouts, but to no avail. Today, when she saw the aura of destruction descending, she knew that the legendary Lord of Destruction had arrived, so she hurriedly led her people to investigate. Unexpectedly, she encountered Ye Chen here.
"What did I lie to you about?"
Ye Chen just smiled.
Gong Xuelian was taken aback. Recalling the past, Ye Chen seemed to have never said that he was a member of the Great Sun Clan. It was all in her imagination.
"Hmph, in short, you and this Lord of Destruction are both dark and unclean beings!"
"Men, seize them!"
Gong Xuelian waved her hand, signaling her men to arrest Ye Chen and Ren Feifan.
But the group of cultivators stood frozen in place, their feet hesitant to move.
The oppressive aura emanating from Ren Feifan was truly terrifying; how could they dare to make a move?
Gong Xuelian also came to her senses at this time. Although she was a steward of the Purification Department, she knew that she was no match for Ren Feifan. If she made a rash move, she would only suffer.
Ren Feifan put down the ceramic bowl in his hand, smiled faintly, and spoke with a casual tone:
“Young lady, there is no need to be nervous. I have come here today with no ill intentions and no intention of harming anyone in the Sacred Land of the Sun.”
“You are too inexperienced to make the decision. Let’s call your master, Venerable Mahavairocana, and I will have a talk with him.”
"How dare you!" Gong Xuelian roared angrily, her face turning bright red. "How dare you ask to see my master, the Great Sun Venerable, so easily?"
She grew increasingly wary, thinking that this evil god of destruction knew her identity and must have come prepared.
Just then, an old and majestic voice came from outside the winery: "Snow Lotus, you must not be disrespectful to the Great Heavenly Emperor."
Everyone turned around at the sound and saw an old man dressed in a red and gold Taoist robe slowly walking in.
The old man had a weathered face and white hair, but the aura emanating from him was as vast and intense as the sun; he was none other than the Great Sun Venerable.
Gong Xuelian quickly stepped forward and called out, "Master!"
The monks from the Purification Division present bowed and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Venerable One!"
Ye Chen was shocked; he hadn't expected that Gong Xuelian was actually a disciple of the Great Sun Venerable.
What shocked him even more was that the Great Sun Venerable actually addressed Ren Feifan as the "Great Heavenly Emperor".
Not only Ye Chen, but also the cultivators from the Cleansing Department present, as well as the owner hiding behind the counter, were all shocked and looked at Ren Feifan with their eyes full of doubt and astonishment.
They simply couldn't understand why this Lord of Destruction was called the Great Heavenly Emperor by the Great Sun Venerable.
Ignoring the crowd's surprise, the Great Sun Venerable focused his gaze on Ren Feifan, bowed slightly, and spoke with respect, yet with a hint of probing:
"What brings the Great Heavenly Emperor to my Sacred Land of Pride?"
He had already made countless guesses in his mind. A powerhouse of Ren Feifan's level would never have entered the Proud Sun Holy Land without a reason; he must have some ulterior motive.
Ren Feifan smiled and waved his hand: "Your Excellency, there is no need for such formalities. I am not yet the Great Heavenly Emperor."
The Great Sun Venerable shook his head: "It is not now, but it was in the past and it will certainly be in the future. The Great Heavenly Emperor's foundation is far beyond that of ordinary strongmen, and I am clear about this."
“You possess the light of the Great Heavenly Emperor.”
Gong Xuelian and the other cultivators from the Purification Division were even more astonished, and a little panicked.
They knew very well what the words "Great Heavenly Emperor" meant.
Ren Feifan stopped arguing, glanced around the room, and slowly said to Venerable Da Ri, "This is not the place to talk. There are too many people here, and there may be leaks. Please, Venerable, let us speak privately."
The Great Sun Venerable pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Very well, you two come with me."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the entrance of the winery.
Although Gong Xuelian was full of doubts, she did not dare to ask any more questions. She signaled her subordinates to stay, while she followed behind Venerable Da Ri. Ye Chen and Ren Feifan also followed.
Ren Feifan's sword was left at the wine shop to be used as payment for drinks.
At this moment, he had no sword in his hand.
The group traveled along the road and soon arrived at the branch of the Cleansing Department in Wanfang City.
This was not a large residence. The Great Sun Venerable led a few people in and turned to Ren Feifan, saying, "The place is simple, please don't mind, Great Heavenly Emperor."
"It's alright." Ren Feifan nodded slightly and went to a small pavilion with Venerable Da Ri, where they sat down as host and guest.
Ye Chen also sat down, his eyes discreetly scanning his surroundings, wary of any potential ambush.
Gong Xuelian stood behind the Great Sun Venerable, her eyes still warily fixed on Ye Chen and Ren Feifan.
