Chapter 12770 Daytime Forging Furnace
Chapter 12770 Daytime Forging Furnace
The murderous intent of the interceptor and the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor were perfectly integrated into one.
In terms of sheer power, it has surpassed Ye Chen's former Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, and even the unfinished Intercepting Dao Sword.
Looking at the newly born Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword, the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations was filled with shock and fear.
The sword's edge was terrifying; if it were to strike, she would certainly not be able to withstand it without making any defense.
This is merely the prototype of the Heavenly Emperor's Intercepting Sword, not its peak form.
According to the ancient records of the Jiaoyang Path, the Intercepting Sword can sever all paths, and its ultimate form is to sever chaos, so that the world will no longer be troubled by chaos.
However, such a concept is far too wishful thinking.
How could one possibly sever chaos?
This is impossible.
Therefore, the peak form of the Intercepting Sword only exists in fantasy and can never be realized.
This sword is forbidden; it was prohibited from being forged by the Pride of the Sun Ancestor.
Because it is impossible to sever chaos, but it is possible to sever the Primordial Sun itself.
However, the Primordial Ancestor of the Sun did not expect that he would not be cut off by the Intercepting Sword, but instead be shattered by his wife beside him.
Holding the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword, Ye Chen felt that the sword was closely connected with his soul, and the intercepting intent and the Heavenly Emperor's sharpness moved at his will.
However, even with his strength at the seventh level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, he was unable to unleash the full power of this fledgling sword. If he forced it to unleash, he would inevitably suffer a backlash from the sword's sharpness.
It's not that the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword itself rebelled against its master; the sword had completely recognized Ye Chen as its master and was very docile. It's just that the sword's sharpness was too fierce and terrifying, and if it were to strike, it might injure its master.
Ye Chen resonated with the Daoist energy of the Heavenly Emperor's Intercepting Dao Sword. His cultivation level, which was originally at the middle stage of the seventh level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, began to rise under the stimulation of the sword energy.
Within his dantian, spiritual energy surged, and in a short while, Ye Chen's cultivation advanced, steadily stepping into the high stage of the seventh level of the Heavenly Dao Realm!
A glint of light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He could clearly feel that his strength had improved by a level compared to before. With a sword in hand, he felt as if he could annihilate the world.
"Lord of Reincarnation, congratulations on your breakthrough. With this sword, it will be much easier for you to do those two things for me."
Although the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations was wary of the Heavenly Emperor's Intercepting Sword, she still smiled and congratulated Ye Chen.
She secretly rejoiced that she had put the Binding God Chain on Ye Chen in advance, so at least for now, the initiative was on her side.
Of course, she was also well aware that with Ye Chen's power of the Cycle of Reincarnation, he was capable of a desperate struggle, even if it meant mutual destruction.
Therefore, she did not pressure Ye Chen too much, and even maintained a respectful attitude on the surface.
The purpose of these Binding God Chains is to restrict Ye Chen and prevent him from taking the Yang Chapter.
"Senior Jinmu, you said that I need to make a sword strike on the Guixu Glazed Wall with a specific trajectory. What is that trajectory?" Ye Chen asked.
At this moment, Ye Chen was also very clear that it was not yet time for a fight to the death. He also needed to use the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother to enter the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land.
After all, the clues to the Yang chapter are all in the other party's hands, and the assistance of the Divine Forging Furnace has just been obtained. If they rashly turn against each other, they will only suffer more losses than gains.
He was still wearing the Binding God Chain on his hand, so for now he could only feign compliance and wait for the right opportunity.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations fell silent for a moment, her expression becoming complicated, a trace of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.
After a long silence, she finally spoke slowly: "This trajectory is the essence of my life's cultivation, and it carries an extremely heavy weight of cause and effect."
"I only hope that with your talent, you can comprehend my Dao."
"You just wait and see."
The moment she finished speaking, the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother suddenly unleashed a vast and magnificent aura, and a pressure from the superior Tree of Life swept out, instantly enveloping the entire Divine Forging Furnace.
Suddenly, her body shone with a burst of spiritual light, and crimson-gold divine fire swirled around her. Countless ancient totems emerged from her body and slowly rotated around her.
Giant hammers, furnaces, bronze cauldrons, anvils, and divine fire leaping in the sky, along with totems of countless forging tools such as axes, chisels, files, and saws, tightly surround her, forming a dazzling and majestic spectacle.
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen was startled and took half a step back.
He focused intently on sensing the immense aura emanating from the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.
This is the true god of forging!
Without a doubt, the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother was the most powerful blacksmith in the Chaos Era, bar none.
Ye Chen instantly understood why the Heavenly Craftsman Forging Platform and the Throat of Abyss Forging dared to compete for the title of the number one weapon-refining sect in the world.
If the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations hadn't resolutely left and gone into seclusion on the Fusang Ancient Road, those two forces wouldn't even have been qualified to compete with her.
The forging techniques of the Hundred Refinements Venerable are nothing more than child's play compared to the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother.
The Abyss Throat of the Setting Sun was nothing more than picking up scraps of her ideas.
She is the true master craftswoman, standing at the pinnacle of forging, capable of melting the heavens and earth with the furnace fire and shattering the universe with a giant hammer.
Amidst the turmoil in his mind, Ye Chen's consciousness unconsciously resonated with the totems surrounding the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, and ancient and blurry images slowly emerged in his mind.
He seemed to see the beginning of chaos, when the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations held a giant hammer and forged day and night beside the divine forging furnace, the furnace fire burning fiercely, illuminating the entire chaotic darkness.
She is the goddess who recreates with fire, the goddess who ends the unchanging, the goddess who ends all night.
What illuminated the chaos back then was not only the light of the Primordial Sun, but also the furnace fire of the Golden Mother of All Transformations!
The furnace fire illuminates the heavens and earth, red stars scatter amidst the purple smoke!
Just then, an extremely terrifying and tragic scene suddenly flashed into Ye Chen's mind.
In the scene, the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother is holding a giant hammer and striking a person.
That is the progenitor of the scorching sun!
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations treated the Primordial Sun Ancestor like a weapon or mineral, hammering and forging it before throwing it into the Divine Forging Furnace for refining, subjecting it to countless hammer blows.
The Primordial Sun screamed, wailed, and struggled, but all to no avail. In the end, it was burned and melted in the furnace and shattered bit by bit by the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother.
Ye Chen's mind trembled, and he finally understood why the First Tyrant and the Great Sun Venerable were so wary of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother.
Because the Divine Forging Furnace of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother can not only forge weapons, but also forge people!
Even powerful beings at the top of the Tree of Life, once thrown into the Divine Forging Furnace, will be refined by the primordial fire within, their souls and bodies turning into fuel, never to be reborn.
The Primordial Ancestor was the first victim of this divine forging furnace, and also the most tragic one.
The Myriad Transformations Golden Mother slowly withdrew the totems and divine fire around her, and her oppressive aura dissipated, her face turning slightly pale.
She looked at Ye Chen and said softly, "Everyone calls me the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations, but I also have another name—the White-Sun Forging Furnace."
She paused, then continued, "I am actually the Divine Forging Furnace itself, and the origin of the Divine Forging Furnace is my origin."
"The Daoist principles of the Divine Forging Furnace are my Daoist principles."
"The totems I just manifested are the culmination of my life's work in forging swordsmanship. Their rotating trajectories can be fused together to form a sword technique."
At this point, the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations' gaze fell on Ye Chen, with a hint of expectation and scrutiny: "Lord of Reincarnation, you are exceptionally talented, have you comprehended anything?"
Ye Chen remained silent for a moment, closed his eyes, and kept recalling the various phenomena of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother in his mind.
A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, a flash of understanding in them, and pondered:
"I have gained some insight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen gripped the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword tightly, leaped into the air, and his spiritual energy surged wildly around him. Following the trajectory of the totems in his mind, he slowly swung out a sword.
This sword strike did not produce a deafening roar, but it contained a vast and complex Daoist essence.
The sword blade sliced through the void, leaving a golden-black trail. Within the trail, faint flames flickered and hammering echoed, creating an astonishing spectacle. The surrounding air was distorted by the Daoist aura of this sword strike, and the magma on the ground began to boil.
Upon seeing this, the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations' eyes flashed with delight, and she couldn't help but clap her hands in praise:
"very good!"
"Your comprehension is far beyond my expectations!"
She looked at the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword in Ye Chen's hand, at the remaining sword mark, her tone full of approval.
"This sword will be called the White-Day Forging Sword! If you use this sword to slash at the Ruins of Returning to the Glazed Wall, you will surely break through the protection of that glazed wall and help me achieve my wish."
"The sword forged in broad daylight..." Ye Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief, pondering the mystery of the "sword forged in broad daylight".
This sword strike embodies the essence of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother's entire life. Although the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother herself is not skilled in swordsmanship, the trajectory of her life's Daoist teachings helped Ye Chen prove his swordsmanship.
Ye Chen comprehended the sword and his strength improved greatly, but he also indirectly benefited from the grace of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother.
It must be said that the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother was indeed far-sighted, using both power and kindness. She used the Binding God Chains to restrain Ye Chen, while also helping him attain such a supreme sword path.
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations said, "There are still ten days before you enter the Great Sun Lapis Lazuli Pure Land."
"During these ten days, you don't need to do anything. Just focus on understanding and practicing the sword-forging technique in the daytime, and make sure you can control it freely and master it to perfection."
"The Guixu Glazed Wall is extremely strong. Only by mastering the Bai Ri Zhu Furnace Sword can you ensure a successful strike. If you fail, not only will your life be in danger, but my years of planning will also be in vain."
"understood."
Ye Chen nodded slightly in agreement.
……
For the next ten days, Ye Chen practiced the Daytime Forging Sword technique day and night by the lava pool outside the Divine Forging Furnace.
He honed his sword techniques and corrected their trajectories again and again, striving to ensure that each strike perfectly matched the Daoist principles of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother.
During these ten days, Ye Chen never gave up trying to break the Binding God Chain on his wrist.
He had tried many times to activate the power of reincarnation in an attempt to erode the power of the Binding God Chain, but the power feedback from the Binding God Chain caused his soul to ache.
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations was the greatest blacksmith of the Chaos Era. This Binding God Chain was an artifact she created. Breaking it is not so easy.
Ye Chen had also tried to use the Heavenly Emperor's Intercepting Dao Sword's intercepting intent to sever the shackles of the Binding God Chains, but he soon discovered that the aura of the Binding God Chains was already closely connected with his soul, as if they were one.
If the Dao-Intercepting Sword were to be used to forcibly sever his soul, it would surely be severely damaged, and he might even be completely destroyed.
After several attempts, Ye Chen returned empty-handed, and instead lost a lot of spiritual energy.
"This Myriad Transformations Golden Mother is indeed quite capable."
Ye Chen felt the terror of the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother more and more, but he was not discouraged. He used his Heavenly Insight to deduce and faintly caught a clue.
There is a way to break these chains binding the gods, but the way is not in the Divine Forging Furnace, nor in the Ancient Road of Fusang, but in the Pure Land of Great Sun and Lapis Lazuli.
That sacred land of blazing sun holds countless ancient opportunities and treasures, among which there must be items or techniques that can break the Binding God Chain. However, he still needs to personally explore to find out where these opportunities lie.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations arrived as scheduled.
She looked at Ye Chen, her gaze sweeping over the Heavenly Emperor Intercepting Sword in his hand. She could clearly feel the sword Dao charm of the White Sun Forging Furnace contained in the sword, and nodded in satisfaction: "It seems that you have not slacked off these past ten days."
"I will certainly not fail your trust, senior." Ye Chen replied calmly. Although he and the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother had their own schemes against each other, it was not yet time to break off relations, so he remained polite.
"Let's go, it's time to set off."
Without further ado, the Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations waved her hand, and a golden-red divine fire enveloped Ye Chen. With a flash, she carried him away from the Forging Mountain and flew towards the depths of the Fusang Ancient Road.
The two remained silent for a long time before the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother slowly spoke:
"I can tell you some things about the clues and the truth behind the Yang chapter."
"In fact, the exact whereabouts of this Yang chapter is a taboo of the Sacred Sun Land. Back then, everyone who knew the truth swore a poisonous oath to never reveal a single word, otherwise their Dao heart would collapse and their soul would be scattered."
"Is that so?" Ye Chen frowned slightly. "So, you can't tell me?"
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations said, "I can only tell you some clues. In the Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, there is a 'Hall of Scriptures' which contains clues about the Yang Chapter."
"If you want to know the whereabouts of the Yang chapter, you can only search for it yourself in the Hall of Classics."
Ye Chen asked, "The Hall of Classics?"
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations said, "Yes, that is the core library of the Great Sun Glazed Pure Land, which records many things since the establishment of the Pure Land, as well as various supernatural manuals and ancient secrets. If you want to find clues about the Yang chapter, the Library Hall is the only place to go."
Ye Chen asked, "Can I go in?"
He is, after all, an outsider, and it would probably not be easy for him to enter any library.
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations said, "I will give you an identity, but the Hall of Scriptures is heavily guarded and the requirements for entry are extremely strict. Not just anyone is qualified to enter."
"If you want to enter, you'll have to get the Sunburst Crystal from the Graveyard of Time."
Ye Chen asked, "The Blazing Sun Tomb Crystal?"
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations said, "Yes, the Blazing Sun Grave Crystal is a specialty of the Graveyard of Time. This thing is the hard currency of the Sacred Land of Blazing Sun, and it has the residual aura of the Blazing Sun."
"One Sunburst Crystal will allow you to stay in the Hall of Scriptures for one hour."
Ye Chen frowned and said, "It seems that it will take some effort to get into this so-called Hall of Scriptures."
The Golden Mother of Myriad Transformations said, "That's for sure. There are many rules in the Sacred Land of the Blazing Sun, and I'm quite annoyed by them. Hehe, if I become the new Blazing Sun, I'll have to abolish all these cumbersome formalities!"
"My keepsake, the Sunfire Ruyi Cup, is also in the Graveyard of Time. You can go in when the time is right."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, understanding in his heart: "I understand."
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the border between the Fusang Ancient Road and the Great Sun Pure Land of Ryūriki.
The place was shrouded in mist and rich in spiritual energy. In the past, no matter how far Ye Chen went, he could not reach it. But now, with the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, he arrived smoothly without wasting much time.
Along the way, Ye Chen had already noticed the presence of many restrictions.
It is precisely because of those restrictions that even if outsiders come to the Fusang Ancient Road, they will find it difficult to reach the Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli along this road.
However, those restrictions were of no use to the Myriad Transformations Golden Mother, who easily broke through them and brought Ye Chen to the border area with ease.
