Chapter 12771 Suppression
Beside a boulder at the border, a figure dressed in a golden Taoist robe was waiting respectfully. Upon seeing the arrival of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother and Ye Chen, he quickly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
Ye Chen took a closer look and was immediately stunned.
That figure was none other than the Crimson Sky Patrol Angel, whom he had saved not long ago on the Fusang Ancient Road, but who repaid kindness with enmity and slandered him as a traitor!
"Greetings, Queen Mother, greetings, Lord of Reincarnation."
Chi Xuntian respectfully bowed to Wan Hua Jin Mu and Ye Chen. Judging from his appearance, he was actually one of Wan Hua Jin Mu's subordinates!
"Hmm." The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations nodded slightly.
"Lord of Reincarnation, please don't take the previous misunderstandings to heart."
Chi Xuntian smiled slightly at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's expression was somewhat stiff, and he could only nod.
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations said, "Red Sky Patrol, next, you will lead the Lord of Reincarnation into the Pure Land. Remember, you must not reveal his true identity, nor let anyone discover the connection between us."
"Yes, sir!"
Chi Xuntian responded respectfully, smiled at Ye Chen, and made an inviting gesture, saying, "Greetings, Lord of Reincarnation."
He then turned around and walked towards the direction of the Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli.
Ye Chen and the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother exchanged a glance, said nothing, and silently followed.
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations watched Ye Chen's retreating figure and instructed him, "Remember your mission: you must retrieve the Sunfire Ruyi Cup and deliver the final blow to the Returning Void Glazed Wall!"
Ye Chen simply nodded without responding, and followed Chi Xuntian into the outer defense line of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land.
After passing through layers of clouds and restrictions, the view suddenly opened up before us.
A colossal city stood on a plain, its entire structure forged from crimson divine iron, radiating the aura of the blazing sun.
On the city wall, countless cultivators, armed with weapons, stood on high alert, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
At a glance, Ye Chen realized that Wanfang City was located on the outskirts of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land.
This Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli does not exist in the form of a planet, but rather in the form of a large continent, floating in the void outside the world.
Any continental world that unfolds like a scroll painting must be man-made; a naturally formed world would only be a spherical celestial body.
"This is Wanfang City, an important outer town of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land, and a place where various forces gather."
As Chi Xuntian walked, he lowered his voice and introduced to Ye Chen: "Wanfang City is a mixed bag. There is the official power of the Pure Land, Liuli Heaven, as well as independent cultivators and merchants from all over the country, some forces hidden in the shadows, and even some evil demons from the Chaos Abyss lurking in it."
"Our Liuli Heaven is the largest official force here, in charge of the order of Wanfang City, responsible for screening outsiders and suppressing unrest."
Ye Chen looked up and saw that the city gate of Wanfang City was tall and majestic. Above the city gate hung a huge plaque with the three ancient seal characters "Wanfang City" written on it.
At the city gate, many cultivators from the Glazed Heaven were checking the identities of those entering the city. Everyone entering the city had to undergo a spiritual energy test to confirm that there was no "impure" aura before they could enter.
"When we enter the city, remember not to say a word and just follow my instructions."
Chi Xuntian whispered instructions, took out a black token from his bosom, and handed it to Ye Chen, "This is a token for wandering cultivators. Take it. In a moment, I will tell you that you are a wandering cultivator who has come here because of your reputation, named Chen Ye, and have come to pay homage to the Proud Sun Holy Land."
"Remember, you must not reveal your real name, you must not use the power of reincarnation or the power of the abyss, and you must not reveal the Intercepting Sword. Once exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Understood." Ye Chen took the token and hid it in his bosom. At the same time, he concealed all his aura, hiding the power of reincarnation, the power of the abyss, and the power of the blazing sun, leaving only a faint trace of rogue cultivator's spiritual energy. His overall demeanor became ordinary and unremarkable, just like an ordinary wandering rogue cultivator.
The two arrived at the city gate. Chi Xuntian showed his Guardian Angel token, nodded to the gatekeeper, pointed to Ye Chen beside him, and said indifferently, "This is Chen Ye, a wandering cultivator who has come to pay homage to the city. I will take him into the city."
The gatekeeper's gaze fell on Ye Chen, and he looked him up and down. He then used his spiritual energy to conduct a simple test on Ye Chen. After confirming that there was no unclean aura or abnormal fluctuations on his body, he nodded, indicating that the two could enter the city.
Chi Xuntian is an Archangel of the Glazed Heaven, a position of considerable importance, so his words naturally carry some weight.
The gatekeeper simply gave Ye Chen a quick check and didn't search him too thoroughly before letting the two of them into the city.
As Ye Chen stepped into Wanfang City, he saw that the streets were lined with shops and bustling with people.
Spiritual herbs, ores, elixirs, and magical artifacts—you name it, they have it all here.
On the street, cultivators came and went in an endless stream. There were official cultivators wearing glazed heavenly robes, independent cultivators wearing various clothes, and some scions of merchant guilds wearing luxurious clothes and exuding extraordinary aura.
Everyone wore a look of vigilance and caution, for in this chaotic and dangerous Wanfang City, a single misstep could cost them their lives.
The buildings lining both sides of the street also have the distinctive characteristics of the Sunny Holy Land, all made of red gold and white jade.
Occasionally, one can see some cultivators from the Glazed Heaven, armed with weapons, patrolling the streets. Their sharp eyes scan every passing cultivator, and if they discover anything unusual, they will immediately step forward to question them. If they confirm that there is any unclean aura, they will be taken down on the spot without any mercy.
Chi Xuntian led Ye Chen along the street, whispering warnings as they walked: "Wanfang City may seem bustling, but it is actually fraught with danger."
“Cultivators in the Pure Land are extremely sensitive to any ‘impure’ aura, and the Glazed Heaven often conducts purification operations in the city.”
"Many outside cultivators, because they carry a trace of cold and yin energy or the aura of the remnants of the abyss, will be mistakenly killed even if they are only accidentally tainted by it, without even a chance to explain themselves."
Ye Chen frowned and asked, "Why are you being so strict?"
Chi Xuntian chuckled and said, "Of course I'm afraid, afraid that the holy land will be polluted."
"The sacred land is without a god, and the sun is dead. Without the sun's protection, and now in this chaotic world of resurgence, people are naturally filled with fear and see enemies everywhere."
Ye Chen then asked, "Since the patrols are so strict, why are there still outsiders coming?"
Crimson Heavenly Dao: "There are many. In the Chaos Era, the Great Heavenly Emperor was the strongest, and the Primordial Ancestor of the Sun was the second strongest."
"Even if he perished, his remaining light still contains great fortune. Cultivating in the Sacred Land of the Blazing Sun would be twice as effective with half the effort."
"If we were lucky enough to obtain a fragment left after the sun shattered, that would be even more incredible."
"For example, the ruler of the Throat of Abyss, Remnant Sun, was initially just a prisoner tainted by the abyss. However, by fusing with a fragment of the blazing sun, he attained the Heavenly Pillar in one fell swoop, took control of the Throat of Abyss, and was even given the name 'Remnant Sun'."
"Tsk tsk, the treasures left behind by the Primordial Ancestor are incredibly rich; even obtaining just a little bit would be immensely beneficial!"
"Hehe, there are some people with even greater ambitions who even dare to try to seize the Yang chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract. That's wishful thinking. How could outsiders possibly get their hands on the Yang chapter?"
Ye Chen listened silently and nodded slightly.
Chi Xuntian paused, then his tone became somewhat serious:
"In short, Lun... um, Chenye, you must be careful. Never reveal your true aura, do not easily get into conflicts with others, and avoid the people of the Purification Division."
"The Purification Division is the core law enforcement department of the Glazed Heaven, specializing in investigating unclean people and suppressing dark demons."
"They possess a special magical artifact called the Mirror of Retribution. That Mirror of Retribution is extremely strange. No matter how well you conceal your aura, as long as there is even a trace of impurity on your body, or if you have any karma related to the abyss or chaos, it will be revealed by the Mirror of Retribution."
“Once your identity is revealed and the Great Sun Venerable knows it, you will surely die.”
"The Purification Division..." Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he kept Chi Xuntian's words in mind.
He could sense an invisible oppressive atmosphere permeating the air of Wanfang City.
There may be hidden informants in every corner, and a slight mistake could lead to utter ruin.
His purpose in coming here was clear: to retrieve the Sunfire Ruyi Cup, obtain the Blazing Sun Tomb Crystal, and find clues to the Yang Chapter. Naturally, he could not afford to expose his identity and ruin the important matter due to momentary carelessness.
Chi Xuntian led Ye Chen to a secluded inn in the city, booked a superior room, and whispered:
"You will stay here for the next few days and try not to go out."
"I will secretly provide you with some protection and intelligence, and tell you the timing of the Purification Division's operation and the news about the Graveyard of Time."
"When the day of extreme yin arrives, I will tell you how to get to the Graveyard of Time."
He was an informant under the command of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, so he naturally knew about her plan: to arrange for Ye Chen to enter the Graveyard of Time and retrieve the Sun Flame Ruyi Cup of yesteryear.
However, the Graveyard of Time is heavily guarded and cannot be entered casually; a suitable opportunity is required.
"The day of extreme Yin?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled.
Chi Xuntian said, "Yes, it is a special day. When the day of extreme yin arrives, half of the holy land will be plunged into darkness."
"Only on this day will you have a chance to sneak into the Graveyard of Time. At other times, it will be absolutely impossible to break through the guards and get in."
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then asked, "When will the day of extreme yin arrive?"
Chi Xuntian didn't say much, only saying, "Just wait."
"Okay." Ye Chen nodded, but remained wary of Chi Xuntian.
He knew very well that Chi Xuntian was a person of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, and all his actions were to complete the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother's mission.
Once Ye Chen loses his usefulness, Chi Xuntian will definitely betray him without hesitation.
Chi Xuntian didn't linger. After giving a few instructions, he turned and left the inn. Before leaving, he emphasized again: "Remember, do not act rashly. The people of the Purification Bureau are everywhere."
After Chi Xuntian left, Ye Chen closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, circulated his spiritual energy, and stabilized his cultivation.
In the following days, he did not go out easily, but stayed in the inn, studying the White Sun Forging Furnace Sword and honing his sword moves, while also deducing the situation of the Time Graveyard and thinking about his plan to seize the Blazing Sun Grave Crystal and retrieve the Sun Flame Ruyi Cup.
Occasionally, the Crimson Sky Patrol would secretly send him intelligence, informing him of the scope and timing of the Purification Division's operations.
In the past few days, Ye Chen also learned more about the dangers of Wanfang City from the intelligence reports of Chi Xuntian.
Many outside cultivators were killed on the spot by the Purification Division for accidentally revealing a trace of their sinister aura.
There were also some rogue cultivators who tried to sneak into the Graveyard of Time to find the secret treasures left behind by the blazing sun, but they never returned.
Some dark remnants hidden in the city were even discovered by the Purification Division, triggering a fierce battle that stained the entire street with blood.
The Holy Land of the Blazing Sun is not a world of pure light. After the Blazing Sun fell, darkness and shadows appeared in the Holy Land itself. Some of the Blazing Sun's people fell into depravity and became sinners of darkness, and were also targets of the Purification Division's siege.
Ye Chen became increasingly cautious. He knew that in order to successfully complete the mission, he had to proceed with extreme caution and could not afford to be careless in the slightest.
He had been waiting for the day of extreme yin, which was his only chance to enter the graveyard of time.
Finally, on the seventh day after Ye Chen checked into the inn, the day of extreme yin arrived.
On this day, the sky over Wanfang City was completely shrouded in darkness. The originally bright and clear sky was instantly replaced by a thick, cold aura, and the world was shrouded in gloom.
The air was filled with a biting chill, and many cultivators kept their doors and windows tightly shut, not daring to go out. Only the cultivators of Liuli Heaven continued to patrol the streets, their expressions vigilant.
Knock knock.
At that moment, there was a knock on Ye Chen's door.
Ye Chen sensed Chi Xuntian's presence, opened the door, and saw Chi Xuntian standing outside.
The latter, dressed in a cloak with his head covered by the hood, appeared very secretive and spoke in a low voice:
"Chen Ye, the time has come. Come with me to the Graveyard of Time."
"Lead the way." Ye Chen didn't waste any words; he had already made thorough preparations in his mind.
Chi Xuntian said no more and led Ye Chen out of the inn.
It was an extremely yin day, and the area outside the inn was shrouded in darkness. Chi Xuntian, familiar with the area, led Ye Chen through a series of dark alleys, avoiding the patrolling cultivators and keeping their whereabouts secret.
Soon, he led Ye Chen to the outskirts of Wanfang City, arriving at a desolate valley.
"Ahead lies the Graveyard of Time. Beyond this valley lies the graveyard's protective barrier."
Chi Xuntian stopped and turned to Ye Chen, whispering his instructions:
"The graveyard is rife with chaotic currents of time, teeming with hordes of Yin beasts, and is patrolled by elite guards from the Glazed Heaven. Be careful, I can only take you this far; the rest is up to you."
"Do not forget the instructions of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the depths of the valley, where distorted air currents swirled, and the air was filled with a thick, chilling, and decaying aura. He could even hear faint roars of beasts, which sent shivers down his spine.
"I understand, you can go now."
Ye Chen's tone was indifferent. It was naturally better that Chi Xuntian wasn't following him; he was still used to doing things alone.
Chi Xuntian gave Ye Chen a deep look, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything more. With a flicker, he disappeared into the darkness.
Ye Chen watched Chi Xuntian leave, then activated his spatial divine path, causing a faint spatial ripple to appear around him, completely enveloping him.
He moved lightly, his figure seemingly merging into the void, silently stepping into the valley and heading towards the Graveyard of Time.
The barriers and defenses along the way were rendered useless by the concealment of the spatial divine path, failing to trigger any alarms. In just half an incense stick's time, Ye Chen successfully infiltrated the Graveyard of Time.
Looking around, all one could see was a dark gray sky, devoid of sun, moon, and stars, only a chaotic flow of distorted light, like ferocious giant serpents weaving and roaming through the void.
