Chapter 12491 The Empress Returns
With a whoosh, the Autumn Sky and Cold Rain painting was unleashed, and in an instant, the world changed.
The sky turned into an autumn sky, with a cold, drizzling rain falling down, carrying an atmosphere of desolation, bleakness, and loneliness. All around appeared withered and barren, as if everything in heaven and earth was about to fall into decay.
The Golden Feather Emperor was fighting with the Heavenly Mother and had the upper hand, forcing the Heavenly Mother to retreat repeatedly. However, after Ye Chen unfurled the Autumn Sky Cold Rain Painting, he felt a chill run down his spine.
His flesh and blood began to wither, like withered leaves in autumn, his vitality fading, his movements becoming sluggish, and his whole body seemed to turn into wood.
The cold rain falling from the sky landed on my body, and the chilling atmosphere pierced through me like knives and swords.
"Autumn Sky and Cold Rain Painting, a lost treasure of the Qiu Ming family?"
"How did it end up in your hands?"
The Golden Feather Emperor was shaken, staring intently at the ancient scroll painting that Ye Chen had summoned.
He recognized it; it was the Qiu Ming family's long-lost treasure, the Autumn Sky and Cold Rain Painting!
Legend has it that once this painting is displayed, the bleak atmosphere of autumn will envelop the world, enough to cause all things to wither and die, and even the slightest autumn wind and cold rain can erode immortal rocks.
Even the immortal bodies of Heavenly Dao Realm experts can be eroded.
Ye Chen activated the Autumn Sky and Cold Rain Scroll, only to feel his spiritual energy rapidly draining away. This ancient scroll painting was incredibly powerful, but it also consumed a tremendous amount of spiritual energy.
"Teacher's wife!"
Ye Chen called out to the Heavenly Mother Goddess. At this moment, he used the Autumn Sky Cold Rain Diagram to suppress the Golden Feather Emperor, which was the perfect opportunity for the Heavenly Mother Goddess to counterattack.
Although the Heavenly Mother was also shrouded in the cold autumn rain, the chilly and desolate atmosphere of autumn was mainly directed at Emperor Jinyu, and she was not greatly affected.
Ye Chen has mastered the Autumn Sky Cold Rain Painting to a point where he can control it with complete ease.
The Heavenly Mother nodded and immediately seized the opportunity, thrusting out her sword with the "Jade Pool Golden Needle Technique" to stab at the eyes of the Golden Feather Emperor.
"Hahaha!"
Emperor Jinyu, however, was enraged and laughed wildly. His whole body exploded with golden light, annihilating the surrounding autumn's gloomy and desolate atmosphere, and his withered flesh and blood blossomed with new life.
Although the Autumn Sky Cold Rain Painting is powerful, it would be difficult to kill a powerhouse of his level.
With a loud boom, the Golden Feather Emperor flapped his wings wildly, and more than a dozen golden roc feathers burst forth with divine light, creating a surging, overwhelming mist that shot towards the Heavenly Mother like crossbow bolts.
The Heavenly Mother hurriedly parried with her sword, which clashed and clanged.
The Golden Feather Emperor said fiercely, "Heavenly Mother of Yaochi, I kindly asked you to become my Daoist partner, but you are ungrateful."
"Very good, very good. Today I will completely suppress you and make you my slave!"
"Ye Chen, just you wait and see how I'm going to ravage your master's wife!"
Emperor Jinyu has gone completely mad, his eyes bloodshot. He initially wanted to unite with the Heavenly Mother with a heart seeking the Dao, but now he is driven by pure greed and obsession, filled with mad thoughts.
"The Law of Returning All Things to Nothingness!"
With a roar, Emperor Jinyu unleashed a furious palm strike, unleashing a terrifying aura capable of annihilating heaven and earth. The explosion erupted with deafening roars, as if all the gods and demons of the heavens were chanting together.
An apocalyptic radiation swept across the surroundings, annihilating all matter within a hundred paces.
Beneath the feet of the Golden Feather Emperor, a black vortex emerged. As the vortex spun, an apocalyptic killing aura was released, shredding everything around it. Even the heavens and earth were shaken. The originally azure sky turned pitch black in an instant, as if the world was about to return to nothingness.
This "Returning to Nothingness" technique is clearly an extremely terrifying and powerful divine technique, capable of causing all things in heaven and earth to return to nothingness.
The Heavenly Mother retreated rapidly, but was still torn apart by the aura of the Void. Her clothes were shredded, revealing her fair skin.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Jinyu's eyes turned bloodshot, filled with greed, and he laughed wildly.
Ye Chen and the Heavenly Mother felt unsteady on their feet, as if the world was spinning, all things were about to be annihilated, and even the starry sky was about to collapse.
The two tried to struggle, but felt heavy and sluggish. The power of heaven and earth surrounding the entire gold auction venue was frantically suppressing them.
In this world, the Golden Feather Emperor held all the advantages, and the power of heaven and earth was at his disposal.
Ye Chen and the Heavenly Mother are facing not only the Golden Feather Emperor, but also the power of heaven and earth in this world.
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, ready to unleash his divine powers in a desperate struggle, when suddenly a sigh came from the high heavens.
"Golden Feather Emperor, why do you have to do this?"
An aged voice came from the sky, and then an old man in a long robe descended from the sky, holding a bronze lamp in his hand.
It was none other than the Vidyadhara Emperor, one of the Three Pure Ones!
"Old man who holds the Dharma, what brings you here?"
When Emperor Jinyu saw Emperor Chiming arrive, his expression immediately darkened.
"The Lord of Reincarnation and the Heavenly Mother are both people with great destiny. Fighting against them will only result in mutual destruction. Why bother?"
The Emperor of Wisdom advised against it.
Emperor Jinyu roared, "This is none of your business! Get out of here!"
The Emperor of Wisdom gently shook his head, activated the bronze lamp in his hand, and the wick lit up. Divine light shone, instantly restoring light to the world that was shrouded in darkness and where all things were about to return to nothingness.
Even beneath Ye Chen and the Heavenly Mother, a radiant road appeared, glowing with a bronze hue.
The Emperor of Wisdom said, "Lord of Reincarnation, Heavenly Mother, you should leave for now."
Ye Chen and the Heavenly Mother exchanged a glance, both knowing the situation was perilous. If they stayed any longer, they had no confidence in defeating the Golden Feather Emperor.
If they were outside, the two of them working together could barely put up a fight against Emperor Jinyu.
However, at the Golden Auction House, Emperor Jin Yu had the advantage of both timing and location, and if the two were to fight, the latter would undoubtedly die.
Neither of them lingered in the fight; they immediately stepped onto the bronze light path and flew away.
Before leaving, Ye Chen gave the Emperor of Wisdom a very grateful look.
"Ahhh, don't run away!"
Enraged, the Golden Feather Emperor flapped his wings and pounced, reaching out his claws to grab Ye Chen and the Heavenly Mother, attempting to kill them.
But the Emperor of Wisdom flashed and intercepted him.
With a soft thud, the Golden Feather Emperor's roc claw pierced through the Brightness Emperor's chest, protruding from his back, leaving him covered in blood.
"The Emperor of Wisdom!"
Ye Chen was startled when he saw this, but in the next instant, the bronze light surged before his eyes, and he and the Heavenly Mother had been completely teleported away to a safe star field.
Recalling what had just happened, Ye Chen became anxious and said, "It seems that Emperor Chiming has been killed!"
The Heavenly Mother said, "The Vidyadhara Emperor is also one of the Three Pure Ones, how could he be killed so easily?"
“Since he has come in person, he must have a way to deal with Emperor Jinyu.”
Ye Chen thought so too. After carefully observing the celestial secrets and causes, he discovered that the fate of the Emperor of Wisdom was not very stable, but there were no signs of collapse. It was far from the time for him to perish.
Sensing this, Ye Chen felt somewhat relieved.
After his reincarnation technique broke through to the "burial of cause and effect" realm, his perception of the mysterious causal relationships in the heavens became even more acute.
"It seems I'll have to find some time later to properly thank the Emperor of Wisdom."
Ye Chen thought to himself.
The Heavenly Mother sighed and said, "But Ye Chen, I didn't expect you to turn against Emperor Jin Yu directly."
Ye Chen said, "There's nothing I can do about it. He's pushing me too far and keeps trying to humiliate you, Master's wife. How can I tolerate it any longer?"
The Heavenly Mother smiled slightly, gently took Ye Chen's arm, and said, "You treat your master's wife very well, and your master's wife is very grateful, but you have rebelled against the Golden Feather Emperor. Aren't you afraid of developing inner demons?"
"After all, you have received such a great favor from him, yet you have not repaid it at all."
Ye Chen said, "There is no inner demon; he just wants to use me."
He and Emperor Jinyu were bound together by interests, and in the end, they also broke up because of interests.
Making friends based on self-interest is ultimately not the right path.
Only by giving each other genuine feelings and exchanging genuine feelings can a relationship last.
Just like his relationship with the Heavenly Mother, this kind of relationship is trustworthy.
Ye Chen's mind was clear, and he wouldn't develop any inner demons.
"That's good, as long as you don't develop inner demons."
"However, this break with Emperor Jinyu means we now have another formidable enemy, so we must be careful."
The Heavenly Mother was somewhat worried.
"Ok, I know."
"But no matter what the future holds, at least for today, I have no regrets."
Ye Chen looked at the Heavenly Mother Goddess. Today, he stood up for her and broke with the Golden Feather Emperor. No matter what the future held, he would not regret it.
The Heavenly Mother was deeply grateful and said softly, "Thank you so much, Master's Wife."
……
A day later, the two returned to Jiucang Academy.
Before returning, Ye Chen had already sent a message in advance, telling him about the Golden Feather Emperor.
His break with Emperor Jinyu had an impact on the entire Nine Heavens Academy and even the entire Samsara faction.
After all, Emperor Jinyu controls the Gold Auction House, and the Samsara faction has many resources that rely on the trade of the Gold Auction House.
Now that the two sides have broken ties, many business deals can no longer be done.
Fortunately, Ye Chen has good relationships with Daotian Academy, Beiyao Academy, Qingtian Confucian School and other forces. In addition, Jiucang Academy itself has a lot of industries. Even if trade with the Golden Auction House is cut off, it will be enough to maintain daily needs.
"Brother Ye Chen, you're back."
"Hmm, I know about your affair with Emperor Jinyu."
"If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know."
Upon seeing Ye Chen return, Su Yunli immediately came over to greet him, speaking with a beaming smile.
Although Ye Chen and Emperor Jin Yu had broken ties, she was already very grateful that he could return safely.
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
Su Yunli said, "Once I regain control of the Winter Clan, or even the Rainbow Rain Temple, I can give you whatever resources you need."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's heart stirred. If it were really possible, that would be a good thing.
However, reviving Yan Xueci is the most important thing right now.
"Let's think of a way to revive Miss Yan first."
Ye Chen said.
Yan Xueci's life or death is of great importance. She is the Fairy of Green Silk. If she dies, the Law of Light will be damaged, and the consequences will be dire.
The power of the Abyss is now enormous, and if the situation continues to deteriorate, Ye Chen is not confident he can maintain control.
All he wants now is a stable environment to help him grow.
Thinking that Yan Xueci had not yet been resurrected, Su Yunli was also worried and said, "Brother, then come back to Rainbow Rain Realm with me tomorrow."
Ye Chen said, "Okay."
Once the matter was settled, the two decided to go to Rainbow Rain Realm together the next day.
If Su Yunli could regain control of the Winter Clan, or even the entire Rainbow Rain Temple, then Ye Chen would be one less threat.
The following morning, Ye Chen accompanied Su Yunli on the Azure Dragon Boat to the Rainbow Rain Realm.
This Azure Dragon Boat was a flying boat that Emperor Golden Feather once gave to Ye Chen. Although the two had broken ties, Ye Chen would not discard what Emperor Golden Feather had given him and would continue to enjoy the benefits.
The Azure Dragon Boat travels through the starry sky, from the Nine Azure Academy to the Rainbow Rain Realm, which is expected to take two days.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the deck, cultivating under the starry sky, regulating his breathing.
This trip to the Rainbow Rain Realm will undoubtedly be dangerous, but Ye Chen has many trump cards up his sleeve, so he is not afraid.
After flying for a day, Ye Chen suddenly saw Yin-Yang Dao Qi emerging in the starry sky, and the outline of Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent appeared. He also saw the outline of the Yin-Yang Divine Dao Sect's mountain gate.
Then, thousands upon thousands of meteors were seen flying out of the Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect and heading towards various parts of the starry sky.
"This is... a message delivered by a flying sword?"
"Is the Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect going to hold a grand assembly of all sects and now sending out invitations to all schools and factions to participate?"
When Ye Chen saw those shooting stars, he realized that they were actually messages delivered by flying swords.
Previously, the Heavenly Mother Goddess mentioned that the Yin-Yang Divine Path Sect might be holding a grand conference of ten thousand sects, inviting major sects and forces across the starry sky to participate, and even offering the Yin-Yang Eight Characters Formula as a reward.
Each character of this Yin-Yang Eight-Character Formula is extraordinary, enough to make even a Heavenly Dao Realm expert's heart flutter.
"Wow, it's a shooting star."
Looking at the sky full of shooting stars, Su Yunli felt a surge of excitement. After hearing Ye Chen's words, she pondered for a moment and said...
"So it was a message sent by the Yin Yang Divine Path Sect via flying sword?"
"Brother, if the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect really holds some kind of Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects, would you attend?"
Ye Chen thought for a moment and smiled, "Let's see how it goes. There's no rush. Right now, we need to figure out a way to revive Miss Yan."
Su Yunli hummed in agreement.
After flying for another day, the two finally arrived at the territory of Rainbow Rain Realm.
Where is the best view across the entire starry sky?
The answer is Rainbow Rain Realm!
This place is rich in spiritual energy. The four major families each govern their own region in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The vitality of spring, the lushness of summer, the desolation of autumn, and the cold of winter can all be seen here.
At the center of the earth lies the mountain gate of the Rainbow Rain Temple.
The Rainbow Rain Temple is located in the center, with the four major families each guarding one of the four directions, maintaining perfect order.
"Brother, we've arrived!"
Su Yunli was immediately excited when she saw the familiar scenery of Rainbow Rain Realm.
She hadn't been home for a long time; time had changed everything, but the environment of Rainbow Rain Realm remained unchanged.
"Is this the Rainbow Rain Realm?"
Looking at the scenery of Rainbow Rain Realm, Ye Chen felt a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had been here before, a feeling that was both familiar and strange.
This is because he merged with the physical body of the Longevity Emperor, who is a deity revered in the Rainbow Rain Realm.
In fact, the birth of the entire Rainbow Rain Realm is related to the Longevity Emperor.
“Brother, you have merged with the physical body and authority of the Longevity Emperor. I estimate that in the eyes of many people in the Rainbow Rain Realm, you are a usurper.”
"Even the Longevity Emperor himself probably wishes he could tear you to pieces."
"We have to be careful, and you can't be too arrogant either. After all, the real power of the Divine Authority of Immortality lies in the spirit."
"For the Emperor of Immortality, the physical body is just a stinking bag of skin; the soul is the key."
"Although you inherited his physical body, you did not actually inherit his true divine power."
Su Yunli solemnly reminded Ye Chen that the Longevity Emperor controls the climate changes of the four seasons and the laws of the weather. The true source of this power lies not in the physical body, but in the soul.
"I know, I will be careful."
Ye Chen remained cautious and showed no arrogance.
After all, this is the territory of the Rainbow Rain Temple, and its conflict with the Four Heavenly Gates is quite significant.
"Let's go, I also want to go back to my family."
Su Yunli smiled slightly, took Ye Chen's hand, and stepped into the Rainbow Rain Realm.
Buzz!
As soon as the two stepped into the Rainbow Rain Realm, it seemed as if they had triggered some kind of restriction. A buzzing sound came from the air, and forbidden runes flickered in the void.
Then, a series of whooshing sounds rang out, and several disciples dressed in azure robes descended with dignified expressions.
"Stop! Who is it?"
The disciples hadn't even fully landed when they started shouting loudly.
When they landed and saw Ye Chen, the dignified expressions on their faces immediately turned into astonishment and blankness.
"This... reincarnation, the Lord of Reincarnation!"
The group thought they were seeing things. How could the Lord of Reincarnation possibly come to the Rainbow Rain Realm with only a girl by his side? Wasn't that courting death?
The group looked at each other in horror, and one of them took out a signal flare, intending to fire it.
"Hey, hey, stop! Stop!"
Su Yunli frowned, pointed to herself, and exclaimed:
"You little brats, don't you even recognize me?"
The disciples sized up Su Yunli. Seeing that she was only wearing a bra and shorts, if it weren't for her pure and beautiful appearance, they would have thought she was some crazy girl who had run away from somewhere, and that she even called herself an emperor.
The disciple holding the signal flare ignored him and was about to launch it.
But in the next instant, a flash of icy light appeared, and the disciple screamed as his hand, along with the signal flare, was severed.
Su Yunli flicked her wrist and unleashed a frost-like glint, severing the disciple's hand.
Upon seeing this, the others were immediately terrified, drawing their weapons and looking at Su Yunli warily.
"Who are you? How dare you injure a disciple of my Rainbow Rain Temple?"
Su Yunli snorted, clapped her hands, and said, "There's nothing more to say to you little kids."
She paused, then shouted at the sky, "Li Chunsheng, Li Chunsheng, get out here!"
Everyone was puzzled when they heard her shout.
They didn't know that Li Chunsheng was actually the name of the Lord of the Rainbow Rain Temple, the Green-Robed True Man.
Not long after Su Yunli's shout ended, the wind and clouds changed dramatically. Streaks of rainbow light crisscrossed in all directions, and flowers and spring rain fell in abundance. An old man in green robes, accompanied by several elders, came flying through the air on the rainbow bridge.
"Lord Palace Master!"
Upon seeing the green-robed elder, the disciples immediately knelt down in a panic.
The old man was none other than the Lord of the Rainbow Rain Temple, the Green-Robed Immortal.
The green-robed immortal arrived riding a rainbow and was stunned when he saw Ye Chen and Su Yunli.
"Lord of Reincarnation, what brings you here?"
"And this young lady..."
The green-robed master looked at Su Yunli, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. The young, lively, pure and bright girl in front of him reminded him of an old friend, but he really couldn't believe it.
Su Yunli chuckled and said, "What do you mean by 'young lady' or 'little lady'? I'm your sister Yunli, don't you recognize me?"
Upon hearing this, the Green-Robed Immortal's mind went blank. He looked Su Yunli up and down, and the past celestial secrets flashed before his eyes, all of which merged with the pure and innocent girl in front of him.
