Chapter 12772 Untouchable
Ye Chen didn't know whether the scene of the Graveyard of Time was naturally like this, or whether it was the influence of the extremely Yin day.
He secretly observed that black currents were flowing across the earth, exuding a putrid smell.
Through divination, Ye Chen roughly glimpsed that this place was a shadowy land where sunlight could not reach after the sun had set, and even time had almost died here, with the flow of time extremely slow.
There are many ruined palaces on the ground. Ye Chen guessed that this place was once the palace of Jiao Yang, but with the fall of Jiao Yang, the palace was destroyed. Some of Jiao Yang's secret treasures were left here.
Ye Chen could vaguely sense the aura of the treasures and opportunities, but they all carried a great deal of danger.
rumble--
Just as Ye Chen was concentrating on observing his surroundings, the Samsara Graveyard within his body suddenly trembled slightly, as if an earthquake had struck, but it quickly subsided.
"what happened?"
Ye Chen froze, instinctively looking inward, only to find the Samsara Graveyard completely calm and without any abnormalities; the strange movement seemed to be just an illusion.
"I don't know, it felt like there was a sudden earthquake, but it subsided in the blink of an eye."
The Goddess of Illusion Moon said that she had just felt the earthquake as well.
It wasn't just one tombstone that was shaking; the entire Reincarnation Cemetery trembled, but then the shaking subsided instantly.
Ye Chen frowned slightly, trying to deduce the source of the vibration, but he couldn't find it. He could only suppress his doubts for the time being and continue forward.
He avoided the guards still patrolling the Time Cemetery to prevent any unforeseen complications.
Fortunately, it was an extremely yin day, and the world was shrouded in darkness. Ye Chen concealed his aura and was not discovered.
After traveling only a few miles, a series of ear-piercing roars suddenly came from ahead, dense and continuous, making one's scalp tingle.
Ye Chen looked up and saw countless strange beasts formed from yin energy appearing in the void ahead, forming a massive tidal wave of yin beasts.
Upon seeing him, they pounced on him fiercely.
These Yin beasts come in various shapes; some resemble giant wolves, others bats, and still others are twisted and have no fixed form. They are merely wisps of black mist, yet they exude a chilling and ferocious aura.
Wherever the tide of Yin beasts passed, the turbulent flow of time was stirred up.
Ye Chen's expression hardened. It seemed that the guards were easy to avoid, but these Yin Beasts were everywhere and difficult to escape.
Ye Chen drew the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Dao Sword, activated the energy of the Starry Sky Dao Book, and covered the sword with a layer of starlight.
In this way, the aura of the Intercepting Sword will not be leaked, and his identity will not be exposed.
With the Heavenly Emperor's Intercepting Dao Sword's fierce power, killing these Yin Beasts before him would naturally be no difficult task.
Ye Chen gathered his spiritual energy and prepared to make his move.
But at that moment, the Reincarnation Graveyard within his body stirred again.
This time, the disturbance was even more obvious than before, so much so that the ground around him trembled, emanating a heavy and deathly aura.
The horde of Yin Beasts, which was about to pounce, sensed this power and their roars stopped abruptly.
The Yin Beasts all looked bewildered, astonished, and somewhat fearful.
Then, an astonishing scene unfolded.
The giant wolf-like Yin beast that led the group let out a low whimper at Ye Chen, its eyes filled with awe, before slowly retreating.
The other Yin beasts followed suit, retreating swiftly like a tide, disappearing into the depths of the Graveyard of Time in an instant, leaving only a chilling aura and messy footprints on the ground.
The wind howled, and Ye Chen was slightly taken aback.
"What...what's going on?"
"Why did these Yin beasts suddenly retreat?"
"Are they afraid of me?"
"No, that's not right! Is it fear of the Reincarnation Graveyard?"
Ye Chen's pupils narrowed slightly as he vaguely caught a subtle clue about cause and effect.
There seems to be some kind of shared law connecting the Graveyard of Time and the Cemetery of Reincarnation, and as the master of the Cemetery of Reincarnation, he has a great restraint over the Yin Beasts in the Graveyard of Time.
That was a suppression at the level of laws, which made those Yin beasts instinctively feel fear and dare not approach.
"Is this Graveyard of Time actually from the same source as the Graveyard of Reincarnation?"
Ye Chen frowned, realizing the causal connection, and he was also extremely puzzled and surprised.
He wanted to investigate further, but he couldn't get any results.
"Forget it, let's find the Blazing Sun Crystal and the Sunfire Auspicious Cup first."
Ye Chen shook his head, cleared his mind of distractions, and continued forward, beginning his search for the Blazing Sun Tomb Crystal and the Sunfire Ruyi Cup.
After traveling for only a short while, the ground ahead suddenly became unusually hot, a stark contrast to the chill of the graveyard.
Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he quickened his pace forward. He saw that from the cracked ravines ahead, a faint crimson-gold light shone through, and a rich, blazing aura of the sun rushed towards him, intense and domineering, dispelling the chill of the world.
"Is that the scent of the blazing sun?"
Ye Chen could tell at a glance that when the sun fell back then, its radiance fell to the earth and, over the years, crystallized!
The so-called "sun-kissed crystals" are crystals formed by the fusion of the sun's rays and the earth's surface.
These crystalline mineral veins are usually buried deep underground, but just now, Ye Chen's Reincarnation Graveyard and the Graveyard of Time resonated, triggering a momentary earthquake.
The earthquake caused the earth to crack, and the blazing sun crystal vein buried underground appeared before Ye Chen's eyes!
Looking around, Ye Chen saw a hidden mineral vein beneath his feet, filled with fist-sized crystals.
These crystals, entirely pure gold, with faint patterns of blazing sun flowing across their surfaces, are exactly the blazing sun tomb crystals he is looking for!
"It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly."
Ye Chen relaxed slightly. He released his divine sense and could clearly sense that there were many Sun Crystal Mines in the Graveyard of Time.
But those mines were heavily guarded, making it extremely difficult for him to sneak in.
At this moment, the earth cracked open, revealing the blazing sun and crystals, which undoubtedly saved him a lot of trouble.
These Sun-Scorching Crystals are formed from the radiance of the blazing sun, and are equivalent to special spiritual stones, serving as hard currency throughout the entire Great Sun Glazed Pure Land.
Without hesitation, Ye Chen circulated his spiritual energy, and a soft spiritual light appeared in his palm. He swept his hand across the vein and took out the Blazing Sun Crystal.
These sun-kissed crystals were extremely warm to the touch, and the intense sunlight flowed into his body through his palms, nourishing his meridians.
One piece of Sunburst Tomb Crystal allows one to stay in the Scripture Hall for an hour. Ye Chen has collected several hundred Sunburst Tomb Crystals at this time!
He collected all the Sunburial Crystals in the Reincarnation Graveyard and prepared to leave.
Just then, the Binding God Chain on her wrist suddenly trembled slightly.
A chilling, bone-piercing will flowed into Ye Chen's soul through the Binding God Chains; it was the will of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother!
"Lord of Reincarnation, you have come to the Graveyard of Time, why do you not go to seek my Sunfire Auspicious Cup?"
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations spoke in a cold voice.
With the Binding God Chain, she could vaguely perceive the secrets of heaven and knew that Ye Chen had successfully entered the Graveyard of Time, but she did not immediately retrieve her Sunfire Ruyi Cup.
Ye Chen felt a sense of oppression and was very displeased. He said, "I know, I was just about to go."
He circulated his spiritual energy to slightly suppress the abnormal movement of the Binding God Chains, and his disgust for the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother grew even stronger.
He knew very well that the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations had never regarded him as a collaborator, but only as a pawn, a pawn to fulfill her ambitions.
"My stuff should be in this direction."
The Myriad Transformations Golden Mother guided Ye Chen in a vague direction through the Binding God Chain.
That was to the west of the Graveyard of Time. Ye Chen deduced on his own and vaguely realized that the Sun Flame Ruyi Cup was indeed to the west.
He suppressed his emotions and headed west.
Along the way, no more evil beasts dared to stop him, and his journey proceeded very smoothly.
After walking for about half an hour, a dilapidated palace appeared ahead.
Ye Chen closed his eyes slightly, as if he could see the celestial scenes of the past. This palace was the temporary residence of the Primordial Ancestor of the Sun and the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations.
It seems the two of them enjoyed themselves here back then, drinking together and having a great time.
"So this Sunbeam Cup is the cup you and Jiaoyang used to drink from?"
Ye Chen asked the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother through the Binding God Chain.
"Stop talking nonsense, just take the cup back." The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations said in a cold voice.
Ye Chen didn't ask any more questions. He protected himself with spiritual energy and slowly walked into the dilapidated palace.
The palace was covered in dust and cobwebs, a scene of utter ruin.
Ye Chen also saw some murals, the colors of which had faded and blurred, but one could vaguely glimpse the former prosperity.
These murals depict scenes of a blazing sun, a beautiful woman tending a stove, celestial music, and brimming wine; now, only desolate, mottled remains.
On the ground lay a broken jade table, an overturned incense burner, and some rusted metal objects, making it impossible to tell whether they were original furnishings or weapons.
Ye Chen frowned, remaining vigilant, and walked deeper into the palace.
He could sense that the real treasure lay deep within the palace.
The deeper Ye Chen went into the palace, the more he noticed a faint glow permeating the surroundings. Outside the palace, the scene was extremely gloomy, but here, a glow was flowing.
"Is it the remnants of the scorching sun?"
Ye Chen could tell at a glance that these rays of light were the lingering aura of the blazing sun, which had not yet dissipated with the passage of time.
If an ordinary cultivator were to step into this place, they would probably be instantly enveloped and eroded by this radiance, and eventually be completely assimilated, turning into a wisp of nothingness.
This place may appear peaceful on the surface, but it is actually extremely dangerous, and no one would dare to approach it under normal circumstances.
Ye Chen's formidable strength was enough to withstand the corrosive power of this radiance.
He steadied himself, circulating his spiritual energy to protect his body while slowly searching the palace.
Soon, he discovered a hidden stone niche in a side hall on the left side of the palace.
Inside the stone niche were several withered spiritual herbs that still exuded a faint spiritual aura. Although they had lost most of their medicinal effects, they were still rare and precious natural treasures.
He also found several crystal-clear chalcedony pieces in the stone niche. They felt cool to the touch and could nourish the soul, clearly relics left behind by the Primordial Ancestor of the Sun or the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations.
He stored all these things in the Reincarnation Graveyard, which could be considered a gain, no matter how small.
Continuing onward, Ye Chen headed towards the deepest part of the palace. At this moment, he had vaguely sensed the aura of a great opportunity, and it seemed that the Sun Flame Ruyi Cup was just ahead.
Deep inside the palace was a secret chamber.
The stone door to the secret chamber was already broken and ajar. Through the crack, one could see wisps of crimson-gold light emanating from inside, as if there were some hidden treasures within.
Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he gently pushed open the stone door, immediately feeling a wave of intense, radiant sunlight.
He opened his eyes and saw that the secret chamber was not large. On the stone platform in the center was a complex array, composed of countless ancient and twisted runes.
These runes formed a pale golden protective barrier, within which was a small cup.
The cup, inlaid with gold and jade, was carved with a sun totem and seemed to contain a rich spiritual energy. Even through the protective barrier, Ye Chen could feel its vast aura.
"This is... the Sunfire Auspicious Cup?"
Ye Chen's eyes lit up slightly as he slowly paced around the formation.
The cup was right in front of him, but he didn't reach out to take it.
This cup is protected by a protective array.
Upon close observation of the rune patterns in the formation, it becomes clear that the formation is extremely complex, with runes intertwined and entwined, containing the pure Daoist essence of the blazing sun.
It seems that the array and restrictions were personally set up by the progenitor of the sun to protect this cup.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. If he forced the formation to break, it might trigger the blazing sun, causing him great trouble and harm.
After a moment's thought, Ye Chen circulated his spiritual energy, activated the Binding God Chain on his wrist, and transmitted his thoughts to the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother:
"Mother Jin, the Sunfire Ruyi Cup has been found, but it is protected by a complex formation. Please tell me how to break the formation."
The cold voice of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother came through the Binding God Chains, carrying a hint of impatience and perfunctoriness:
"I wasn't there and didn't witness the specific appearance of the formation, so how would I know how to break it? You figure it out yourself. With the power of your Samsara Path, what difficulty would it be for you to break a formation?"
Ye Chen's face darkened. There were guards patrolling the Time Graveyard. If he used the Reincarnation Technique, he would probably be exposed immediately.
He snorted, wanting to argue with the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations, but his gaze suddenly fell on a dusty mural on the wall of the secret chamber.
"what?"
Ye Chen looked at the mural and suddenly felt a strange sensation.
The mural depicts a young man with a sun halo behind his head, clearly representing the progenitor of the sun himself.
Despite the faded mural, a vibrant aura of celestial secrets lingered within it. When Ye Chen saw the mural, he saw not only the image of the Primordial Ancestor, but also glimpsed ancient celestial secrets and witnessed the Primordial Ancestor's various past events.
The original ancestor of the sun created the world and established the sacred land of the sun, with an incomparably magnificent atmosphere.
There are also scenes of the newlyweds, drinking and chatting with Wan Hua Jin Mu.
But as the celestial images flickered, those magnificent and tender scenes gradually became eerie.
The progenitor of the sun in the picture gradually had a layer of struggle and pain between his brows, and his body began to emit a thick black aura, which was obviously the growth of inner demons.
"What should I do? What can I do?"
"Do you want to commit suicide and return to heaven?"
"Is the end ultimately unattainable?"
……
Ye Chen vaguely heard the deep voice of the Primordial Ancestor of the Sun. The latter drew his sword and looked around blankly. The sword in his hand was surrounded by an aura of collapse. He held it to his neck several times, wanting to commit suicide, but in the end he put it down in despair.
"What is Jiaoyang trying to do? Is he going to commit suicide?"
Ye Chen was greatly shocked when he saw this scene.
He vaguely glimpsed a terrifying secret: the cultivation of the Primordial Ancestor of the Sun had long been close to the final realm, and he was only one step away from mastering all laws and becoming a supreme god who transcended chaos.
But at this moment, the Primordial Sun Ancestor developed a strong tendency to self-destruct!
This was not his own will, but a curse set by the Primordial Chaos!
The Primordial Chaos Ancestor forbids anyone from entering the End Realm, and forbids anyone from surpassing him. Anyone who touches the threshold of the End Realm will be plagued by inner demons and develop a desire for self-destruction.
