Chapter 12773 Past Events
The Primordial Sun drew his sword in bewilderment, having been cursed by Chaos and giving rise to a strong urge to commit suicide and self-destruction.
He was incredibly troubled back then, but unable to find a way to relieve it, so he sealed all his emotions in the mural, which was only seen by Ye Chen at this moment.
Looking at the mural, Ye Chen saw an even more astonishing truth.
Back then, the Progenitor of the Sun knew that once he was completely consumed by his inner demons and went mad, he would surely slaughter all the people of the Progenitor Holy Land.
Rather than having hundreds of millions of people perish with us, we should voluntarily sacrifice our people, forging the power of all beings in the sacred land to create a new world and usher in a bright and prosperous era for all humanity.
However, the Progenitor of the Sun was also filled with immense conflict.
I cannot bear to sacrifice my people.
If no sacrifice is made, even after self-destruction, the people will still not escape death.
Just as he was hesitating, the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations struck and shattered him.
But he, in fact, chose to be destroyed.
However, while being shattered would allow him to die and avoid slaughtering his people, it would also completely sever the possibility of creation, leaving him with a deep sense of indebtedness to the world.
It is rare in this world to have both; to live up to the expectations of the people and to be true to one's own conscience.
Even the progenitor of the sun could not find a way to satisfy both.
His inner demon, that intense urge to self-destruct, was forged into a sword technique known as the "Sword of Destruction."
This sword of destruction is recorded on the mural. It is extremely powerful, containing the power to destroy the world. It can destroy all laws and all objects, and its power is boundless.
Ye Chen was deeply moved. After studying the mural, he successfully comprehended the "Sword of Collapse," but he also sensed the complex emotions of the Primordial Ancestor of the Sun and the terrifying chaotic inner demon.
To attain the ultimate realm of enlightenment, one must inevitably trigger the Chaos Curse and generate a strong urge to self-destruct, something that even the Primordial Ancestor could not avoid.
In other words, if Ye Chen continues to cultivate, he will eventually encounter the Chaotic Heart Demon, which is the greatest heart demon in the world!
Ye Chen's mood was also quite complicated. He took several deep breaths to suppress his chaotic thoughts.
Regardless, his comprehension of the "Sword of Destruction" left behind by Jiao Yang was a great opportunity.
A method to break the Binding God Chains slowly emerged in Ye Chen's mind.
The Daoist essence of the Sword of Destruction can sever all shackles, including the Binding God Chains forged by the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, without harming its own soul.
A glint of light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He had a premonition that he would find an opportunity to break the Binding God Chains within the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land.
However, he did not expect that this opportunity would be so complicated, even involving the mysteries of the End Realm and the ultimate curse of chaos.
A thought struck him, and he looked at the array restriction again. He activated the sword intent of the Sword of Collapse, and with a flick of his finger, a wisp of pale golden sword energy slashed out.
The sword energy contained immense destructive power, but on the surface it was only a thin wisp.
With a hiss, the crumbling sword energy slashed down, and the protective array immediately shattered.
The runes, laws, and energy that constituted the formation collapsed in an instant under that terrifying sword intent. The protective barrier shattered, and the light of all the runes went out.
The Ruyi Cup of the Sun was completely revealed to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen inwardly praised the Sword of Destruction, thinking it was indeed powerful.
He immediately reached out and picked up the Sun Flame Ruyi Cup, examining it closely.
The cup was warm to the touch, but when Ye Chen examined it closely, he discovered something unusual.
This cup lacks the primordial aura of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, so it was clearly not forged by her.
At the same time, it lacked the original aura of the Primordial Sun, and was not forged by the Primordial Sun.
"Hmm? It wasn't made by the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, nor was it forged by the blazing sun?"
"Who forged that cup? Isn't this a creation of the Path of the Blazing Sun?"
Ye Chen was greatly puzzled. After careful analysis and detection, his fingers suddenly caught a faint and mysterious aura.
That aura was cold and greedy, completely out of place with the blazing sun.
"Is it...the aura of the Great Mother Goddess?"
Ye Chen was shocked. He recognized the aura; it was actually the aura of the Great Mother Goddess!
The Great Mother Goddess is the progenitor of the Motherhood path, and her authority is extremely complex, encompassing concepts such as blood, childbirth, consumption, desire, suffering, and immortality.
Named beings under the Great Mother Goddess, such as the Lord of the Crimson Cup and the Lord of the Tide, each represent a certain concept of the Great Mother Goddess. The Crimson Cup represents desire and pain, while the Tide represents blood and devouring.
Ye Chen initially thought that the Great Mother Goddess was a loving mother, but later discovered that she was not.
The concept of the motherhood path is to give birth to children and then devour their flesh and spirit. How can that be loving?
That path represents extreme greed, an insatiable thirst; there is maternal instinct, but more so devouring and desire.
Generally speaking, the cup is an important symbol of the Great Mother Goddess's path, and it contains desire and greed.
Ye Chen was extremely shocked. He realized that this Sun Flame Ruyi Cup was actually a gift from the Great Mother Goddess to the Primordial Sun Ancestor and the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother!
However, the cup, having been bathed in the radiance of the sun for a long time, gradually became assimilated, transforming into a creation that seemed to belong to the sacred land of the sun.
But beneath the cup's warm and bright surface, Ye Chen glimpsed an undisguised greed, jealousy, thirst, and desire—an insatiable yearning that seemed to devour all the light and power in the world.
"The Great Mother Goddess... what does she want to do?"
"She gave Jiaoyang a cup; is she plotting something?"
Ye Chen's heart began to pound inexplicably, and a terrible thought arose in his mind.
When the Primordial Sun Ancestor was shattered, the culprit may not have been just the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother; it is very likely that the Great Mother Goddess was behind it!
Ye Chen activated the Binding God Chains again and asked the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, "Hey, Golden Mother, what's going on?"
"This Sunfire Ruyi Cup was not originally created by you and the Sun, but by the Great Mother Goddess?"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations' voice became somewhat surprised:
How did you figure that out?
She paused, then said coldly, "Don't ask any more questions! Now that you have the Sunfire Auspicious Cup, leave the Graveyard of Time immediately, hand the cup over to Crimson Sky Patrol, and don't cause any further trouble!"
She seemed to have no idea that Ye Chen had such sharp eyes that he could see through the brilliance on the surface of the Sunfire Ruyi Cup and perceive the greed and desire contained within it.
"Ha ha……"
Ye Chen remained indifferent, and the reaction of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother further confirmed his guess.
There must have been other hidden reasons why the sun was shattered back then.
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations knew the truth, but did not tell Ye Chen. Ye Chen was unaware of the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations' plans.
But this Sun Flame Auspicious Cup, without a doubt, he cannot simply hand it over to the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother.
This cup embodies both the brilliance of the sun's path and the longing of a mother's path; it is a creation of two paths and of immense value.
If one obtains the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, one's strength will surely increase greatly.
Without further hesitation, Ye Chen secretly activated the sword intent of the Sword of Destruction, and a wisp of pale golden sword energy quietly flowed into the Binding God Chain on his wrist.
With a soft "crack," the seemingly indestructible Binding Chains, which were connected to his soul, shattered into countless tiny fragments under the erosion of the collapsing sword intent. The fragments fell to the ground without causing any damage to his soul.
The Daoist aura of the Sword of Destruction was far more powerful than he had imagined.
With the breaking of the Binding God Chain, Ye Chen's connection with the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother was completely severed.
"Lord of Reincarnation, you deserve to die!"
"You...you actually learned this sword technique! Are you out of your mind?!"
"That's the sword of the blazing sun's inner demons. Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Before the Binding God Chains shattered, the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother roared in anger. She had already sensed the aura of the Shattering Sword and was deeply shaken.
The Sword of Destruction contains the self-destructive intent of the blazing sun, possessing immense destructive power. Ye Chen's audacity in cultivating it is, in her view, nothing short of courting death.
Ordinary people who dare to touch the Sword of Destruction will also have strong thoughts of self-destruction and suicide.
However, Ye Chen's sword mind is clear, and as long as he doesn't use the Destruction Sword too frequently, nothing will happen.
The furious roar of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother vanished completely after the Binding God Chains shattered.
Ye Chen smiled slightly. Without the threat of the Binding God Chains, he felt much more relaxed.
However, he and the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations have completely broken off relations.
"Ye Chen, you have quite the nerve, daring to turn against the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother."
"And what's with your new sword technique? It has such a powerful aura of destruction! It's destruction beyond destruction itself!"
Just then, a muffled sound reached Ye Chen's ears.
"Senior Ren!"
Ye Chen listened carefully and realized it was Ren Feifan's voice!
He hadn't expected to hear Ren Feifan's voice here, and immediately asked, "Senior Ren, where are you?"
Ren Feifan's voice came through the divine soul transmission: "I have finished testing my sword in the Shayao District, but I can't let go of you. I have almost crossed the Fusang Ancient Road and will soon arrive at the outer edge of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land."
The Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli is a sacred land bathed in the blazing sun, a renowned place beyond the world, attracting countless people who yearn to come here for pilgrimage and spiritual cultivation.
Although the ancient Fusang Road is vast and the path to the Pure Land is long, nine out of ten who enter fail to find their way. However, because there are so many pilgrims, quite a few eventually manage to reach the Pure Land.
With Ren Feifan's strength and Ye Chen as his anchor, crossing the Fusang Ancient Road and reaching the Pure Land would not be too difficult for him.
"Senior Ren, I'll go out and meet you right away!"
Ye Chen sent a message.
Ren Feifan said, "Hey, don't rush. I have some annoying things bothering me. I'll come find you after I've dealt with them."
"Let's stop here for now and not contact each other again to avoid getting involved."
After saying that, Ren Feifan cut off his contact with Ye Chen.
"Senior Ren!"
Ye Chen called out again, but received no response.
He frowned, wondering what was bothering Ren Feifan—was it the Tomb of the Gods, or the Ancient Sacred Sect of Burning Heaven?
Shaking his head, Ye Chen could only calm himself down. Right now, he needed to ensure his own safety and wait for Ren Feifan to arrive.
He stepped out of the secret chamber, only to hear a cacophony of voices outside the palace gates. It seemed to be the guards of the Time Graveyard who had noticed the disturbance inside the palace and had come to investigate.
Ye Chen, unwilling to cause any further trouble, immediately activated his spatial divine path, creating a layer of spatial ripples around his body to completely conceal himself. He silently bypassed the guards, quickly left the dilapidated palace through the back door, and sped towards the exit of the Time Graveyard.
Soon, Ye Chen walked out of the Graveyard of Time without encountering any accidents.
Outside the Time Graveyard, a figure emerged from the darkness – it was Chi Xuntian.
Chi Xuntian asked, "Chen Ye, did you obtain the Sunfire Ruyi Cup?"
Ye Chen saw that Chi Xuntian had his head down, his face hidden under his hood, so he couldn't tell what expression he had, nor did he know whether Chi Xuntian knew that he had broken ties with the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother.
"got it."
Ye Chen remained calm and said...
Chi Xuntian said, "Hmm, show it to me."
Ye Chen paused for a moment, then took out the Sunfire Ruyi Cup, pondering how to deal with the Crimson Sky Patrol.
It would definitely not work to hand the cup to him.
If we kill him, the Blood Secrets might attract the attention of the Purifying Division and the Patrol Angels.
But just as Ye Chen was taking the cup, Chi Xuntian suddenly attacked, his palm like an eagle's claw piercing towards Ye Chen's heart.
Judging from his extremely fierce appearance, he clearly knew that Ye Chen and the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother had broken ties, so he wanted to kill Ye Chen as soon as he made his move.
He was a trusted confidant of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother. When the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother broke ties with Ye Chen, she must have informed him first.
"court death!"
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. Chi Xuntian acted quickly, but Ye Chen reacted even faster.
With a flick of his finger, Ye Chen unleashed a burst of destructive sword energy, severing Chi Xuntian's neck in a flash.
"Such a fast sword..."
Chi Xuntian's eyes widened, his face filled with fear and astonishment.
He clearly hadn't expected Ye Chen's sword to be so fast and so fierce.
He had various means of self-defense, as well as the special protective artifacts of the Archangel, but all of these were completely ineffective against the Sword of Destruction.
The Sword of Destruction can destroy everything.
After killing Chi Xuntian, Ye Chen took a slight breath, not because of fatigue, but because of the emotional impact on his mind.
As Ye Chen unleashed the Sword of Destruction once more, he discovered that he was suffering from the backlash of some inner demons, and he also had a thought of self-destruction, which even triggered the abyss within his body.
He vomited a stream of black blood with a whooshing sound, which corroded a hole in the ground.
"It seems that this sword technique cannot be used indiscriminately."
Ye Chen took several deep breaths before slowly suppressing the turmoil within his body.
He thought to himself that only by obtaining the Yang chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract could he possibly resolve the abyss.
Ye Chen's expression turned solemn as he looked at the fallen corpse of Chi Xuntian.
He killed someone; within a few days at most, the truth will be revealed.
He has to make the most of his time these next few days.
At the very least, we should go to the Hall of Classics and look for clues about the Yang chapter.
Thinking this, Ye Chen immediately concealed his aura and returned to the urban area of Wanfang City.
"Lord of Reincarnation, I want you dead! I want you dead!"
"You dare to oppose me? I'll make sure you die the same way I did back then!"
……
As Ye Chen walked along the road, he seemed to hear the angry roar of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother in his mind, whether it was a misperception or something else.
Ye Chen ignored him; what he needed to do now was enter the Hall of Scriptures and find out the whereabouts of the Mingyang Chapter.
Soon, Ye Chen returned to Wanfang City, still disguised as the rogue cultivator Chen Ye. He rested for a day, and only went to the Hall of Scriptures after the extreme yin day had passed.
The Hall of Books is located in the heart of Wanfang City. The entire hall is cast from white jade and red gold, and it looks magnificent from afar.
Yesterday was an extremely yin day, so the Hall of Books was not open; it only opened today.
Outside the hall gate, two elite cultivators stood guard, their expressions stern, rigorously checking everyone who entered the Hall of Scriptures.
Ye Chen stepped forward, took out four pieces of Blazing Sun Grave Crystal, and said calmly, "My name is Chen Ye. I have come to the Scripture Hall to consult ancient books and wish to do so for two hours."
A piece of Sunburial Crystal can stay in the Hall of Books for an hour.
Ye Chen gave out four crystals, which could actually last for four hours, but he only said two hours, implying that the remaining two crystals were for the guards.
The guard accepted the crystals, his eyes gleaming with secret delight. He glanced briefly at Ye Chen's identity token but didn't examine it in detail before letting him in.
Money makes the world go round; this is an irrefutable truth.
Ye Chen nodded slightly and stepped into the Hall of Books.
Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, the Hall of Classics is quite tranquil, as if it were a secluded sanctuary.
The bookshelves on both sides are neatly arranged with countless ancient books. The Hall of Classics has just reopened today, and there are not many people inside.
Ye Chen's gaze quickly swept across the labels on the bookshelf, searching for clues about the Yang chapter of "Yin Yang Divine Contract".
However, it is foreseeable that the cause and effect of the Yang chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract are so vast that it is impossible for it to appear in any publicly available classic texts.
Ye Chen flipped through more than a dozen books but couldn't find any clues.
He took a deep breath and quietly released the laws of time, creating a time domain that slowed down the flow of time.
In this way, even if he only has two hours, he has thousands or hundreds of years in the realm of time to consult these classic texts.
"The Ruins of the Glazed Wall..."
Ye Chen hadn't found any clues about the Yang chapter yet, but he had already discovered the legend of the Guixu Glazed Wall.
This Ruins of Glazed Wall was originally the purest place in the Pure Land, but Ye Chen's Intercepting Sword had the opposite aura.
If the Intercepting Sword is combined with the White Sun Forging Furnace Sword to strike it, it will surely destroy the foundation of the Great Sun Lapis Lazuli Pure Land!
That will be the opportunity for the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother!
However, Ye Chen's sword strike, which destroyed the Guixu Glazed Wall, will inevitably alarm countless powerful figures in the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land, making him the target of everyone's criticism.
He will surely die then!
Forget about finding the Yang chapter, he'll lose his life at the Guixu Glazed Wall!
