Chapter 12490 Autumn Sky and Cold Rain
The Heavenly Mother said, "Golden Feather Emperor, I will compensate you for all the resources you have given Ye Chen. From now on, Ye Chen will owe you nothing!"
Seeing that Emperor Jinyu was unpredictable and that Ye Chen was in real danger under his command, she realized that he was not in a good position.
The more favors Ye Chen receives, the greater the backlash he will suffer in the future!
Emperor Jinyu chuckled coldly and said, "Compensation? You can compensate me for rare and precious materials, but how will you calculate the time and effort I've invested?"
"Ye Chen, you promised me you would help me find the other half of the Sacred Language Book. Have you found it?"
Ye Chen paused for a moment, then said, "We found it."
Emperor Jinyu said, "Take it out and let me see!"
Ye Chen then took out the Sacred Words Book.
Previously, the Sacred Book of Heaven was used to cleanse the demonic energy from the skeletal ancestor. Due to the backlash from the demonic energy, the book had become dusty and dim, but the origin of the Great Dao was not damaged, and it has now regained some of its brilliance.
Upon seeing the holy light beneath the demonic mist, Emperor Jinyu was immediately thrilled, and his body trembled.
The expression on Su Wujiu's face, which was originally as cold and aloof as an iron sculpture, also showed a slight fluctuation.
Anyone who isn't blind can see the extraordinary nature of the sacred text.
"Ah, the Sacred Book of Heaven, finally a complete page has been restored!"
"But why, why!"
"Ye Chen, why are you so greedy in refining it? You already have countless treasures, why do you still want to snatch them from me?"
Emperor Jinyu gripped the Sacred Book tightly, his eyes fixed on Ye Chen, filled with rage.
This sacred scripture has now been refined by Ye Chen, and is now an integral part of his flesh and blood, completely fused together and difficult to separate.
If Emperor Jinyu wants to seize the Sacred Words Book, it would be tantamount to tearing Ye Chen apart, extracting his marrow and bones, and Ye Chen's Great Dao Origin and Foundation would be in danger of collapsing.
If Ye Chen's Dao foundation collapses, he will become a complete cripple, and all of Emperor Jin Yu's initial investments will be wasted.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I wanted to refine it, it was just a series of unforeseen events..."
Ye Chen wanted to explain that he was not greedy for the Sacred Words Book. At that time, it was the Heavenly Sage who recognized his power and bestowed the Sacred Words Book and the Heavenly Sage Bottle upon him.
Now, with Emperor Jinyu tightly clutching the Sacred Words Book, Ye Chen felt as if his heart was being squeezed, making him extremely uncomfortable.
This sacred scripture has completely merged with him, becoming his natal magic weapon, his very lifeblood.
Having one's manhood tightly gripped is naturally extremely unpleasant.
Emperor Jinyu snorted and said, "You dare say you have no greed whatsoever?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen fell silent.
It's impossible for him to be completely unmoved by something as precious as the Sacred Book.
However, he wasn't deliberately coveting the celestial book. After a moment of silence, he said:
"Your Majesty, as I said, this was a twist of fate, and I didn't want it to happen this way either."
"I will try my best to compensate you for your losses."
Emperor Jinyu said, "Hmph, if you want to make amends, that's fine too. Tell your master's wife to marry me and become my Daoist partner so we can cultivate together!"
His gaze fell upon the Heavenly Mother Goddess, and his eyes immediately revealed a greedy and thirsty look.
His initial desire to befriend the Heavenly Mother was solely driven by a pursuit of the Dao, a desire to unite Yin and Yang to strengthen his own power.
However, unable to obtain what he desired, he became obsessed with possessing the Heavenly Mother Goddess, wanting to ravage and humiliate her to vent his hatred.
When Ye Chen saw that Ye Chen's eyes reddened and his breathing became heavy when he mentioned the Heavenly Mother, he felt a surge of disgust and said:
"Your Majesty, I will not betray my master's wife!"
"I'll exchange the Starry Sky Dao Book for half a page of your Sacred Heavenly Book. Is that enough?"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and took out the Starry Sky Dao Book.
When Emperor Jinyu saw the Starry Sky Dao Book, he was stunned. He never expected that Ye Chen would be willing to give it up.
But then he thought again, he didn't lack magical treasures, the Starry Sky Dao Book was only a short-term benefit, the Heavenly Mother was the key to his breakthrough to the Dao Integration Realm, so he said:
"I don't want your Starry Sky Daoist Book, I just want your master's wife to marry me!"
He looked at the Heavenly Mother and said, "Heavenly Mother, you don't want to put Ye Chen in a difficult position, do you? It would be good for everyone if you married me."
"Now that you've married me, we'll be family. I'll treat Ye Chen like my own son."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Mother was thrown into disarray.
She was the wife of the Azure Lotus Dao Ancestor. On the one hand, she was unwilling to betray her husband, but on the other hand, her husband had passed away, and Ye Chen was now her only family.
She was starting to waver. If she really condescended to marry Emperor Jinyu, it would indeed be beneficial for Ye Chen's future.
As long as she makes a sacrifice, she can secure tremendous benefits for Ye Chen.
"Emperor Jin Yu, you've gone too far!"
Ye Chen suddenly stood up, his face full of rage, and said:
"I told you, you're not allowed to bully my teacher's wife anymore!"
“You have invested a lot of resources in me, but in business, how can you always make money? Losing money is also normal.”
"You've only been using me as a pawn. Do you really expect me to be devoted to you?"
"We're severing all ties today! I won't lose a single penny of what you've invested in me!"
"If you have the guts, kill me. If you kill me, everything I have will be yours!"
Ye Chen was furious. He took back both the Starry Sky Dao Book and the Sacred Language Heavenly Book. He was a Dao Crystal and didn't intend to give Golden Feather Emperor a single penny back.
In business, there are gains and losses; Emperor Jinyu should be aware of this.
Ye Chen also realized that there was no need to be subservient to Emperor Jin Yu anymore.
The Golden Feather Emperor is capricious. Today he says he wants to marry the Heavenly Mother, tomorrow he says he wants to marry Xia Ruoxue or Ji Siqing. What will Ye Chen do then?
Being constantly controlled by others is not a solution.
Let's break ties, let's turn against each other, even right here in this gold auction house, Ye Chen doesn't care anymore.
Hesitation will only lead to chaos. Ye Chen has made up his mind. At this very moment, he will sever all ties of cause and effect!
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Emperor Jin Yu was stunned, as were the Heavenly Mother and Su Wujiu.
Ye Chen's words, "severing all ties," were far too harsh and heavy to hear.
"You, Ye Chen...you, you're going to rebel!"
"This is outrageous! The pawn is about to betray its master!"
Emperor Jinyu was breathing heavily, unable to believe his ears.
Ye Chen actually said he wanted to sever all ties and wouldn't even compensate him a single penny, clearly intending to get something for nothing.
He had invested so much in Ye Chen that he couldn't even count it all. If it all went down the drain, he would go crazy on the spot.
"Ye Chen, don't act rashly!"
The Heavenly Mother Goddess came to her senses and hurriedly grabbed Ye Chen's arm.
This is the headquarters of the Gold Auction House, the territory of Emperor Golden Feather.
Emperor Jinyu has been operating here for many years, enjoying all the advantages of favorable timing, location, and popular support. Once the relationship sours, Ye Chen and the Heavenly Mother will likely pay a heavy price.
Emperor Jin Yu snorted and slammed his hand on the table. The door to the VIP room was opened, and more than a dozen powerful figures rushed in. The entire Golden Auction House was in an uproar. Guards dispersed the customers, and a large number of guards formed a battle formation, ready for battle.
A brilliant golden light surged from the gold auction house, shooting straight into the sky and forming the image of a golden bird. Boundless faith and spiritual power gathered on that golden bird totem.
Behind Emperor Jinyu, the aura of a golden bird also appeared, but his body exuded a bloody killing intent, and his palms transformed into sharp roc claws, as if he wanted to tear Ye Chen to pieces immediately.
"Come and fight, Golden Feather Emperor, I have rebelled!"
Ye Chen was also fearless, and boundless courage surged in his heart. After merging with the Heavenly Heart Authority, his Dao Heart power was greatly enhanced.
In addition, the Haotian Ancestor in the Reincarnation Graveyard is about to awaken, and his courage is also nourishing Ye Chen, giving Ye Chen boundless courage.
Ye Chen was fearless. He clenched his fists, and his bones cracked and popped. The power of the Primordial Divine Remains burst forth and spread to his limbs and bones. Combined with the Heavenly Emperor Dragon Emperor Body, his muscles turned golden and bronze, and a tremendous power exploded.
Su Wujiu, standing behind Emperor Jinyu, felt Ye Chen's power and immediately retreated in fear.
"If you have the guts, kill me today!"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his whole body bursting with golden light and lightning, his hair dancing wildly, his domineering and unparalleled power bursting through his clothes, revealing a muscular and almost perfect physique.
With a bang, Ye Chen struck first, throwing a straight punch straight at the face of Emperor Jin Yu.
Emperor Jinyu was stunned; he hadn't expected Ye Chen to actually attack him.
He dodged to the side, but Ye Chen's violent and powerful punch, with a crack, directly smashed the body of a powerful figure behind him, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"Damn it! Ye Chen, are you really going to rebel?"
"I have done you such a great favor, and you are so ungrateful. Can you bear the heavy consequences? Aren't you afraid that inner demons will arise?"
Emperor Jinyu was furious; he simply couldn't believe that Ye Chen had actually rebelled.
His heart clenched again, because it meant that all the resources, effort, and time he had invested in the past had gone to waste.
"What's there to fear about karmic consequences? My conscience is clear!"
Ye Chen's eyes were like torches, and his whole body burst with golden light. Amidst the rumbling of air currents, a huge Wheel of Reincarnation appeared behind him.
As the wheel of reincarnation turns, all causal energies are buried, crushed, and annihilated.
This is the method of "burying cause and effect"!
Ye Chen directly activated the Cycle of Burying Cause and Effect, burying all the past karmic debts and kindness between himself and Emperor Jin Yu!
Moreover, he has a clear conscience.
In fact, he had always wanted to make amends and compensate Emperor Jinyu for his losses, and he was willing to do things for Emperor Jinyu.
However, Emperor Jinyu was going too far, constantly humiliating the Heavenly Mother, and Ye Chen could no longer tolerate it.
The past karma is now buried. Ye Chen will not compensate Emperor Jin Yu a single penny. He just said he would compensate, and even took out the Starry Sky Dao Book, which Emperor Jin Yu didn't want, so he can't be blamed.
Emperor Jinyu was horrified. He discovered that his causal connection with Ye Chen had been completely severed, and had actually been destroyed by the Reincarnation Law.
With the cause and effect severed, Ye Chen will no longer suffer any pressure or backlash, nor will he be in danger of developing inner demons. He will not have to pay any price.
"Damn it! You want to freeload off me and take my stuff for free?"
"Today I'll make you pay with your life!"
Emperor Jinyu had completely gone mad and could no longer control himself. His spiritual energy exploded out, and golden light surged into the sky. With a whoosh, a pair of golden roc wings spread out from his back. With a flap of his wings, amidst the roaring storm, his roc claws struck out like lightning, aiming straight for Ye Chen's heart.
He is one of the Three Pure Ones, and he attacked without regard for the cost, displaying immense power and unparalleled domineering aura.
"careful!"
Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Mother immediately flew in front of Ye Chen and used the "Jade Pool Palm" to block the sharp and fierce claws of the Golden Feather Emperor.
Although Emperor Jinyu is one of the Three Pure Ones, the pillar gods, the power he can unleash is limited by the rules of heaven and earth and will not exceed the peak of the Heavenly Dao Realm.
When the Heavenly Mother Goddess takes action, she is enough to rival the Golden Feather Emperor. The main difference between her and the Golden Feather Emperor lies in their cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, and magical treasures.
The Pillar God possesses Pillar God techniques, special supernatural powers, and powerful magical treasures, all of which are enough to surpass ordinary people.
However, with the strength of the Heavenly Mother, she can still contend with the Golden Feather Emperor.
The auras of two peak Heavenly Dao experts collided, causing a tremendous shock.
Nearly half of the entire gold auction house collapsed, and the VIP room where Ye Chen was located was completely destroyed on the spot. The dome was blown open, and rocks and dust flew everywhere, leaving a scene of utter devastation.
Ye Chen felt a powerful wave of energy radiating from him, forcing him to take three steps back.
Just as he was about to focus on going forward to help in the battle, he suddenly heard a hissing sound and a long sword was thrusting towards his heart.
The sword was sharp and piercing, the hand holding it was steady, the knuckles were covered with calluses, and the sword technique was precise, forming a straight line that was unstoppable and pierced through everything.
It was Su Wujiu who made the move.
This Su Wujiu, as Jin Yu Dijun said, is a genius of the Qiu Ming family, and is the one he plans to use to replace Ye Chen.
To be chosen by the Golden Feather Emperor, this person's talent is definitely extraordinary.
Su Wujiu made his move with perfect timing, just as Ye Chen was forced back and his aura was fluctuating.
His unstoppable swordsmanship carried a pure power of the Great Dao, containing the profound methods of the supreme Yin-Yang Dao.
"The One-Word Mantra?"
A concept popped into Ye Chen's mind: he sensed Su Wujiu's intense and fierce Dao heart.
This sword technique contains the secret of the "One-Word Mantra".
The Great Dao of Yin and Yang can evolve into various Dao characters, such as Ye Chen's Mutual Character Technique, Heaven Character Technique, and Chaos Character Technique, all of which are born from Yin and Yang.
Yin and Yang unite as one, forge ahead without hesitation, be pure and unique, seize the moment, and cut off everything—this is the essence of the One-Word Mantra.
It's impossible for the Qiu Ming family to have mastered the One-Word Technique; it was taught by Emperor Jin Yu!
Ye Chen immediately understood that the Golden Feather Emperor had not taught him the word "one," but had taught it to Su Wujiu.
Clearly, Emperor Jinyu had a backup plan, preparing a substitute to replace Ye Chen at any time.
Su Wujiu's eyes were filled with a cold, lonely glint, devoid of any other chaotic thoughts, containing only a pure idea.
The thought of killing Ye Chen with a single sword strike!
His sword strike was as swift as lightning, and he attacked while Ye Chen's aura was fluctuating, putting Ye Chen in grave danger.
Ye Chen wanted to draw his sword to block, but suddenly felt a strange power within his body disturbing his Dao heart and aura.
That power, like a nightmare of evil spirits, suddenly surged up and actually came from the autumn sky and cold rain painting!
The "Autumn Sky and Cold Rain" painting is the most treasured item of the Qiuming family, and the soul of the Qiuming family's ancestor resides in it.
Originally, even if the soul of the Autumn Ancestor were to parasitize him, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble or break through the ancient scroll to harm people.
But now, seemingly stimulated by Su Wujiu's aura, the two resonated, and Qiu Ming's soul, like a venomous snake awakening from hibernation, suddenly turned against Ye Chen.
Ye Chen groaned, his vision going black.
Su Wujiu's eyes widened, and he exclaimed inwardly, "Ancestor!"
He hadn't expected that the Autumn Ancestor was inside Ye Chen's body, and was even secretly turning against Ye Chen to help himself.
He was immediately invigorated, his sword energy surged, and his single-word sword was fierce and ruthless, about to pierce Ye Chen's heart.
"The Parasitic Technique of Ten Thousand Ghosts!"
Ye Chen reacted extremely quickly. While Qiu Ming Patriarch was attacking him, he had already traced back to Qiu Ming Patriarch's aura.
With the Ten Thousand Ghosts Parasitism Technique activated, Ye Chen directly parasitized Qiu Ming Ancestor's soul and began to control it.
With a whoosh, a soul figure appeared behind Ye Chen. It was an old man with a withered and emaciated figure, exuding a cold and murderous aura.
It was none other than the Autumn-Dwelling Ancestor.
The old ancestor Qiu Ming struggled violently in his eyes, but this struggle was extinguished in an instant.
The next instant, his eyes became empty and lifeless, as numb as a puppet.
He was completely controlled by Ye Chen!
With the Ten Thousand Ghosts Parasitic Technique and Ye Chen's control of the Heavenly Heart Divine Authority to suppress people's hearts, he controlled the soul of the Autumn Dark Ancestor in an instant.
Qiu Ming Patriarch became Ye Chen's puppet. Seeing Su Wujiu wielding his sword to kill him, he also swung his sword. The sword energy was like a drizzling evening rain, desolate and cold, with a murderous atmosphere.
"Ancestor!"
Su Wujiu cried out in terror, never expecting that his ancestor had become Ye Chen's puppet.
In fact, his One-Word Sword was fierce and sharp. If they were to fight, he might not be able to defeat the Old Ancestor Qiu Ming, who was only in a remnant soul state.
However, in his agitated and flustered state, he lost his edge and dared not confront the Autumn Ancestor head-on, so he hurriedly retreated.
As the sword of the Autumn Ancestor flashed, it slashed several hideous sword wounds across his body.
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but grin.
If this Old Ancestor Qiu Ming continues to hide inside the Autumn Sky and Cold Rain Painting, Ye Chen really won't be able to do anything about him unless he destroys the painting directly.
But now, when Patriarch Qiu Ming took the initiative to show himself, Ye Chen seized the opportunity and directly used parasitism to suppress him, turning Patriarch Qiu Ming into a puppet.
"Autumn Sky and Cold Rain, Open!"
After suppressing the Autumn Dark Ancestor, Ye Chen felt that the restrictions on the Autumn Sky Cold Rain Scroll had lost their effect. He poured his spiritual energy into it and directly activated the scroll.
