With Ye Chen's comprehension, he naturally grasped the meaning of "Frosty Moon Shines on the River," but as soon as he tried to practice it, he realized something was wrong.
This sword technique is extremely powerful; it requires drawing upon the extreme cold of heaven and earth, even surpassing extreme cold, to achieve a state where the sword moves as if guided by the law.
With a single sword strike, the sword energy covers an area where everything will emit a chilling aura. Even a volcano will spew out an extremely cold aura from within. The sword strike is accompanied by magic, illuminating all rivers and lakes. It is incredibly powerful.
Such extreme cold, to the point that the sword moves as if guided by magic, was beyond Ye Chen's control. If he were to force it, he would suffer a terrible backlash and freeze to death.
Su Yunli smiled and said, "Don't worry about not having enough cultivation, brother. As long as you master the law of transcendence, you can surpass everything. Don't worry about the backlash from the cold energy."
Ye Chen said, "But I am not you, nor am I a god of transcendence."
Su Yunli smiled and said, "My path is your path."
"You can take anything from me."
"In the future, we are destined to combine yin and yang and become one."
As she spoke, she held Ye Chen's hand tightly, their fingers intertwined.
The divine light emanating from her body also spread to Ye Chen.
As Ye Chen was bathed in divine light, he felt as if he had been cleansed of worldly dust, transcended countless lifetimes, and stood above the starry sky.
This feeling was very mysterious. He seemed to have suddenly become an outsider, a bystander with a clear perspective, able to clearly examine everything in the world without being affected by it.
"I seem to have realized it."
Ye Chen smiled and pulled Su Yunli into his arms.
"Two days," Ye Chen suddenly added.
Su Yunli asked, "What?"
A chill ran through Ye Chen's eyes as he said, "If we still can't find a solution in two days, then we'll challenge the Longevity Emperor!"
Su Yunli paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, brother, let's combine our swords and die together!"
The following day, Su Yunli made one last attempt, sending someone to Rain Curtain Mountain to request Xi Yao's help.
She and Ye Chen had already given up hope, but while practicing their swordsmanship under the icy waterfall in the dead of winter, they saw that the sky above the Rain Curtain Divine Mountain in the distance was shattered like a mirror, as if something had happened.
Half a day later, the disciple they had sent out rushed back and reported to the two of them:
"Grandma Ice, Lord of Reincarnation, something unexpected has happened at Rain Curtain Mountain!"
Ye Chen's eyes brightened slightly, and he asked, "What unexpected event?"
The disciple said, "The Spring Rain Clan's most precious treasure, the Rain Curtain Mirror, has been broken. Saintess Xi Yao is in great panic and now wants to find someone to repair it. She said that she will grant any request to whoever can help her repair the divine mirror."
Ye Chen and Su Yunli exchanged a strange glance.
Su Yunli asked, "How could the Rain Curtain Mirror, which was perfectly fine, suddenly break?"
The disciple said, "I don't know. Saintess Xiyao is very anxious right now and has issued a reward for someone to repair it. She asked me to inquire with Granny Bing. I wonder if Granny Bing is so powerful that she can help her repair the divine mirror."
"If the Divine Mirror can be repaired, she might be willing to risk her life to save Miss Yan Xueci."
Su Yunli was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Ye Chen, that's great! Xi Yao has finally agreed to make a move."
"Haha, this will save us a lot of trouble."
"She'll agree to help if we help her repair the divine mirror!"
"The Divine Mirror is broken?" Ye Chen frowned and pondered for a moment.
Su Yunli asked, "What's wrong, brother? You're skilled in weapon crafting. If you were to help, you should be able to repair the Rain Curtain World-Illuminating Mirror, right?"
“Let’s make a fair deal with Xi Yao. You help her repair the mirror, and she will revive Xue Ci.”
Ye Chen thought that with his and Chi Lianjun's abilities, repairing the Rain Curtain World Mirror shouldn't be too difficult.
If even they can't fix it, then no one in the world can.
But his concern wasn't about whether it could be fixed, but rather that he sensed a hidden danger lurking behind the incident, like a trap.
"No, Yun Li, I feel like it's all too coincidental, like it's a trap."
Ye Chen frowned and said that after he entered the "Burial of Cause and Effect" realm of his Reincarnation Technique, he became very sensitive to the cause and effect of fortune and misfortune in the dark.
At this moment, Ye Chen sensed a murderous intent and danger lurking in the future.
If he were to actually take action to repair the Rain Curtain Mirror, it might bring about his own demise!
Su Yunli said, "Brother, are you saying that Xi Yao deliberately set a trap to lure you into it?"
"Mm." Ye Chen nodded.
Su Yunli smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you."
"If Xi Yao dares to cause trouble, then we'll suppress her and turn her into our female slave. Let's see if she still dares to be arrogant."
She wasn't afraid of any traps. If Xi Yao had plotted to harm her first, then she and Ye Chen could have used the opportunity to retaliate.
There's no reason for either of them to attack Xi Yao now, lest they incur the consequences and develop inner demons.
But if Xi Yao was the one who plotted the murder first, then you can fight back with peace of mind. As long as you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear from inner demons or karma.
Ye Chen thought so too. Su Yunli was a goddess, and he himself had formidable strength. Even if there was some kind of trap, the two of them working together would be enough to break through it.
"Alright, let's go and see that Rain Curtain Mountain together."
Ye Chen made up his mind to go and see what Xi Yao was up to.
He has already refined the Crimson Candle Dragon and the Soul Emperor, and his combat power has increased compared to before. Even without Su Yunli, he is not afraid of any traps.
In the entire Rainbow Rain Realm, the only person who can threaten Ye Chen's life is the Eternal Emperor behind him.
If the Eternal Emperor were to descend, he and Su Yunli, with their combined swords, might still have a chance to kill him.
Once the agreement was reached, Su Yunli summoned her ice sword and, riding on it, took Ye Chen to Rain Curtain Divine Mountain.
Within the Reincarnation Graveyard, Crimson Lord cautiously said, "Ye Chen, you need to be careful, after all, we are on the territory of the Rainbow Rain Realm."
Ye Chen said, "Master, I know."
Chi Lianjun said, "Well, Master's martial arts are weak, so I can't help you much in terms of combat. You'd better find a way to awaken another Nine Heavens Ancestor."
"To awaken another ancestor?"
Ye Chen looked at the tombstones in the Reincarnation Cemetery. Of the Nine Heavens Ancestors, only Haotian, Juntian, and Youtian remained, none of them having been revived.
Previously, the courage of the Haotian Ancestor had rippled through the Reincarnation Graveyard, but it was only a fluctuation of courage; his divine soul had not truly been revived.
To revive the soul of the Nine Heavens Ancestor, one must either receive an extremely strong stimulus or be nourished with rare and precious materials, relying on abundant spiritual energy to nurture their soul and awaken them.
Chi Lianjun pondered for a moment and said, "I suggest you go and awaken Ancestor You Tian. That old fellow is proficient in the Dao of the Night and can transform himself into the night."
"If you encounter any danger, you can hide in the darkness to avoid disaster."
Ye Chen asked, "Ancestor You Tian?"
Chi Lianjun said, "That's right. As for Elder Brother Haotian, he is the embodiment of courage of the Heavenly Ancestor. To truly awaken him, it would probably require an enormous amount of resources, which you cannot afford now."
"It would be more practical to try to awaken Ancestor Youtian."
He figured he wasn't skilled in martial arts, so if Ye Chen really encountered any danger, he wouldn't be able to help.
Therefore, as a precaution, it is necessary to awaken another ancestral protector.
"Okay, I'll try."
Ye Chen nodded slightly. Better safe than sorry. This was, after all, the Rainbow Rain Realm, so it was right for him to be cautious.
If he had another Nine Heavens Ancestor protecting him, his safety would be even more guaranteed.
Previously, when he was in the Ghostly Corpse Sea World, Ye Chen collected a lot of resources. Now he took out about 20% of the rare and precious materials, melted them into primordial energy and spiritual energy, and poured them into the tombstone of the Netherworld Ancestor.
Nourished by Ye Chen's spiritual energy, the tombstone of the Netherworld Ancestor soon emitted a faint glow, indicating that he was about to awaken.
Awakening the Haotian Ancestor is difficult, but awakening the Youtian Ancestor is much simpler.
When Ye Chen and Su Yunli arrived at Rain Curtain Divine Mountain, the light emanating from the tombstone of Ancestor Youtian was already very strong, and it was about to awaken.
"Lord of Reincarnation, Granny Ice, you have arrived."
A deep, resonant voice pulled Ye Chen back to reality.
Ye Chen focused his gaze and saw that on the plaza below Rain Curtain Mountain, there were many patrolling disciples and many weapon refiners, forging and refining weapons with clanging sounds.
Xi Yao said she wanted to repair the Rain Curtain World Mirror and issued a bounty. In the territory of the Spring Rain Clan, the weapon refiners who received the bounty message all rushed over before Ye Chen.
A middle-aged man, leading a group of disciples, was patrolling and maintaining order. When he saw Ye Chen and Su Yunli arrive, the middle-aged man greeted them solemnly.
Ye Chen recognized the middle-aged man; he looked somewhat familiar and resembled Jiang Su. He thought to himself, "He's Jiang Su's father!"
The Jiang family also belongs to the Chunyu family, but Jiang Su's father is in charge of patrolling.
"Your name is... Jiang Yun, right?"
"I seem to remember you. You had a remarkable son, but unfortunately, he died at the hands of Brother Ye Chen."
"Hey, don't hold a grudge. That was a martial arts duel. Life and death are predestined. Your son died because he was not skilled enough. My brother Ye Chen was almost killed by him too."
Su Yunli crossed her arms and sized up Jiang Yun, her words full of protection for Ye Chen, to the point that even Ye Chen felt a little annoyed.
Jiang Yun's face was as calm as a mountain and a sea. He said, "That's natural. Jiang Su was not as skilled as others and died at the hands of the Lord of Reincarnation. It was fate. I don't blame anyone else, and I have never had any grudges."
Su Yunli nodded and smiled, "Very good, very good. You have a good eye."
Jiang Yun cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Grandma Bing and the Lord of Reincarnation have come here, presumably to help repair the Divine Mirror. Saintess Xi Yao said that if anyone can repair the Divine Mirror, she will reward them handsomely."
Su Yunli said, "I don't know how to forge weapons, let Brother Ye Chen do it."
Jiang Yun said, "Yes, but you must first pass a test."
As he spoke, he took out a rusty longsword. “This is the sword that the Eternal Emperor once used, but it has become dusty and rusty. Lord of Reincarnation, if you want to see Saintess Xi Yao, you must first forge this sword to remove the rust without damaging the blade in the slightest.”
"This will also test your weapon-forging skills."
Ye Chen thought for a moment and then said, "That's easy, no problem."
Without wasting words, he took the rusty sword and began the test immediately.
There was a forging furnace in the square. Ye Chen walked over and began to temper the rusty sword himself.
Although his own weapon-forging skills were not as good as Chi Lianjun's, they were still quite strong. Before long, he had reforged the rusty sword, completely removing the rust. The entire sword was now gleaming with a cold light.
"Brother Ye Chen is so amazing."
Su Yunli clapped her hands, her eyes filled with admiration. In her eyes, Ye Chen was simply an omnipotent being.
Ye Chen smiled slightly and handed the longsword, now fully tempered, to Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun glanced at it, gently stroked the blade, and his eyes immediately lit up. He exclaimed, "Lord of Reincarnation, truly excellent skill!"
"Consider this Longevity Sword your reward."
"When it comes to forging skills, the weapon refiners of my Chunyu family are probably not even a tenth as good as you!"
"Let me take you to see Saintess Xiyao."
He handed the Longevity Sword back to Ye Chen as a prize, then addressed the weapon refiners still busy with their trials in the plaza:
"You should all go home! The Lord of Reincarnation alone is enough to repair the Divine Mirror!"
The group of weapon refiners were quite taken aback and retreated meekly.
Jiang Yun made an inviting gesture and smiled, "Lord of Reincarnation, please. The task of repairing the Rain Curtain Illuminating the World is now in your hands."
Ye Chen nodded and, together with Su Yunli, followed Jiang Yun into the Rain Curtain Divine Mountain.
Jiang Yun said, "Lord of Reincarnation, you can go in alone."
He said to Su Yunli, "Grandma Bing, please wait here for a moment. It is not appropriate for outsiders to be present while we are repairing the Divine Mirror."
Su Yunli raised an eyebrow and said, "I am not an outsider."
Jiang Yun said, "Grandma Bing, please don't make things difficult for me."
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. If he went to see Xi Yao alone, it would be a bit dangerous.
At this moment, the Reincarnation Graveyard shook violently, and a black light rolled and floated. The black light had no demonic or evil aura at all; it was just the pure aura of night, clear and vast.
Amidst the shimmering black light, an old man dressed in a black robe awoke from his slumber.
"You old ghost, you've finally woken up!"
Upon seeing the old man in black robes, Chi Lianjun was overjoyed and exclaimed.
That old man in black robes was none other than You Tianye, the former ancestor of the You Tian family!
"Huh, I'm not dead yet?"
You Tianye looked around and saw Chi Lianjun, then Ye Chen, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Is this the Lord of Reincarnation? He only has the cultivation of the peak of the fourth level of the Burning Lamp Realm?"
"With this little strength, how can we possibly restore the heavens?"
"Where is Brother Haotian? Has he not woken up yet?"
"We should awaken Brother Haotian and lead us to destroy the Four Heavenly Gates and restore the glory of the Nine Heavens!"
Seeing that Ye Chen's cultivation was only at the peak of the fourth level of the Burning Lamp Realm, You Tianye didn't take him seriously. He glanced around and then focused his gaze on the tombstone of the Haotian Ancestor.
Chi Lianjun laughed heartily and said, "My disciple's strength cannot be judged by appearances alone. When he unleashes his power, he could probably kill you with a single sword strike."
"Well, it seems he's fallen into a trap. Old Ghost Youtian, just to be on the safe side, we'll wake you up."
"Be ready at any time. You are an expert in the ways of the night, and there will be a way to use you."
You Tianye turned his gaze to the outside world and was surprised to see Ye Chen in the Rainbow Rain Realm.
"This is the Rainbow Rain Realm, the territory of the Heavenly Gate!"
"Lord of Reincarnation, are you going to directly engage in a decisive battle with the Heavenly Gate?"
"Count me in! My Nether Night Killing Path may not be as good as Brother Haotian's martial arts, but when it comes to a real fight, I've never been afraid of anyone!"
As he spoke, You Tianye clenched his fist, manifesting a battle blade. His entire body shimmered with black light, exuding a murderous aura. Despite his age, he remained strong and looked incredibly majestic.
His eyes were also filled with hatred for Tianmen.
Ye Chen was overjoyed to see that Ancestor You Tian had awakened, but since it was not yet time for the final battle, he said, "Senior, please do not act rashly. Let's observe the situation first."
Ye Chen then said to Su Yunli, "Yunli, wait for me here, I'll go in and take a look."
Now that things have come to this, Ye Chen has no intention of backing down.
Even if it's a trap, he'll still fall into it.
He had enough confidence in his abilities. If Xi Yao wanted to harm him, then so be it, and let's see who has the last laugh.
"But……"
Su Yunli was a little worried.
"It's okay, I can handle it."
Ye Chen stroked her hair and said.
Su Yunli and Ye Chen were of one mind, and at this moment they also had a strong premonition that Xi Yao had set a trap to harm Ye Chen.
However, behind this danger lies an opportunity. If Ye Chen can counter Xi Yao, many problems can be easily solved.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
"Brother, if you encounter any danger, call my name."
Su Yunli held Ye Chen's hand and said.
"Ah."
Ye Chen nodded solemnly, then bid farewell to Su Yunli and went into the mountains with Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun led him around several mountain paths and they arrived at the front of a cave, which was Xi Yao's cave dwelling.
"Holy Maiden, the weapon refiner has arrived; he is the Lord of Reincarnation."
Jiang Yun respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.
"Well, back off."
"Lord of Reincarnation, please come in."
Xi Yao's calm and gentle voice came from inside the cave.
"Yes, Saint Lady."
Jiang Yun bowed and left.
Ye Chen composed himself and entered the cave. Inside, he saw a woman in a green dress sitting on a stone bench.
The woman was beautiful, surrounded by a misty haze, and possessed a gentle and elegant demeanor; she was none other than Xi Yao.
"Miss Xi Yao."
Ye Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute.
Xi Yao smiled slightly and said, "Lord of Reincarnation, I'm sorry to trouble you to take action."
"My Rain Curtain Mirror accidentally reflected something it shouldn't have, and was struck by a great curse, causing it to shatter. I wonder if you can repair it?"
As she spoke, Xi Yao took out a bronze mirror, which was none other than the Rain-Shrouded World Mirror.
On the bronze mirror, there were several small cracks, and a strange aura, like gray mist, emanated from the cracks.
Ye Chen glanced at the gray, misty aura and felt a chill run down his spine, which reminded him of the Seven Saints Curse Wheel.
This gray, misty aura must also be a kind of special curse.
"What did you photograph?"
Ye Chen was very curious about what exactly Xi Yao's Rain Curtain World Mirror was reflecting that would cause it to be eroded and impacted by the curse.
Xi Yao sighed, seemingly unwilling to speak plainly, and simply said, "In short, I saw some forbidden existences, which caused the divine mirror to shatter."
