"So you're dressed like that to sleep?"
Ye Chen looked at Su Yunli's body; she was only wearing a bra and shorts, and large expanses of her snow-white skin were so dazzling that it made one's eyes dazzle.
It turns out she was dressed so scantily because she was going to sleep, to attain enlightenment in her dreams.
"Yes, brother, when are you free so we can sleep together?" Su Yunli said with a giggle.
Ye Chen was speechless for a moment. He looked her over and saw that the golden light of her breakthrough to the Burning Lamp Realm had almost subsided. He said, "But judging from your appearance, you are neither in the Heavenly Dao Realm nor do you look like a god. You have just stepped into the Burning Lamp Realm."
Su Yunli smiled and said, "Actually, I have already ascended to godhood, but I did not. I severed my cultivation, underwent a metamorphosis, and was reborn. My new body is now at the Burning Lamp Realm."
Ye Chen couldn't believe it and said, "What? You can ascend to become a Pillar God?"
Su Liyun said, "Yes, the world of eternal slumber promised by the abyss is not wrong, but in dreams, all wishes can really be fulfilled, and I can indeed ascend to godhood, but I did not."
"Because the Pillar God is not the limit of cultivation. Above the Pillar God is the Yin and Yang of the End of Heaven, which is the true ultimate. That realm can be called the End Realm."
"The End..." Ye Chen was shocked when he heard these two words.
Su Yunli said, "Yes, if you want to prove the Dao of the End, you can't rely on dreaming big dreams, because even the Abyss itself has not been able to step into the End Realm."
"If I want to ascend to that realm, I can only rely on my own strength."
"Therefore, I have decided to undergo a transformation and be reborn, severing my past self and descending into the world anew to begin my cultivation anew. With a pure Dao heart, I will prove myself as a pillar of the Dao and witness the ultimate Dao."
"The me you see now is the me after my transformation and rebirth."
Su Yunli smiled at Ye Chen again, "There is another important reason why I severed my past and was reborn through transformation: I want to prove the ultimate Dao, which requires the union of Yin and Yang."
"But before, I was pure ice and pure yin. People called me the Iceberg Beauty, which means iceberg literally. You couldn't even drill into me with a diamond drill. Yin and yang union was absolutely impossible. No man could break into my body."
"I have undergone a metamorphosis and rebirth, severing my pure ice body, and it seems I have even severed my icy Dao heart. Brother, look at me, am I not a vibrant and beautiful young woman? Not cold at all, right?"
"Feel my body, it's very soft, not some impenetrable iceberg."
Su Yunli pulled Ye Chen's hand and pressed it against her body.
Seeing Mu Youying beside him, Ye Chen awkwardly withdrew his hand. He felt that Su Yunli's words were profound, but also crude and explicit in some parts.
Mu Youying was also deeply shocked. After a moment of silence, she said:
"I believe you are the Ice Glass Emperor, and I believe you have been reborn through transformation, but now you are only at the Burning Lamp Realm. It is very dangerous here, you should leave quickly."
She looked around at the surroundings, which were dark and gloomy, with a blood moon hanging eternally in the sky, making it look truly eerie.
Judging from the ruins of magnificent palaces and sanctuaries remaining on the land, this should be the central world of the Land of No Worries, the former site of the Temple of No Worries of the Heavenly Saint.
If the Heavenly Sage is still alive, he must be in this ruin of the Worry-Free Temple.
Mu Youying received a great reward from the Heavenly Mother Goddess in exchange for helping Ye Chen find the light and the traces of the Heavenly Saint.
But this area is undoubtedly very dangerous, and Fairy Lingtong said earlier that the Heavenly Venerable Xin is here.
Mu Youying believed in Ye Chen's strength and luck, and that he could fight against Xin Tianzun. However, Su Yunli was only at the Burning Lamp Realm at the moment. If she stayed by Ye Chen's side, she would be a burden.
Su Yunli chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I have many trump cards up my sleeve."
"Good brother, can you give me back this Winter Bead? It used to be my natal magic weapon. With this bead in my hand, no one can bully me anymore."
She picked up the Winter Bead and asked Ye Chen for advice.
Ye Chen thought that he had many treasures, and it wouldn't hurt to return the Winter Pearl to Su Yunli and make a good connection, so he said, "You can keep it."
"Thank you, brother!" Su Yunli said happily, but after a pause, her eyes darted around and she stuffed the Winter Bead into Ye Chen's hand.
Ye Chen said, "What, you don't want it anymore?"
Su Yunli said, "Hmm, after thinking about it, I'd better leave it to my brother for self-defense. I have many other ways to protect myself."
"Is my brother going to stay here and search for the light of the Heavenly Sage?"
She stared intently at Ye Chen, already seeing through his intentions and roughly knowing his purpose.
Ye Chen replied, "Yes."
Su Yunli said, "Hmm, it's very dangerous here. I sensed the aura of the Heart Celestial Venerable. That guy is terrifying."
"My little sister has severed her Ice Soul Dao Heart, so I'm afraid she can't withstand the Heart Heaven Venerable's Mind Great Art. Brother, please be careful. I can't stay with you."
She has an absolutely clear understanding of her current strength. With some trump cards, she is not afraid even when facing top-tier experts. However, the existence of the Heart Celestial Venerable is too strange. The various mental techniques he has mastered are completely overwhelming to those with weak Dao hearts.
Now that Su Yunli has been reborn through transformation, her weakest point is not her cultivation level, but her Dao heart, as she has severed her past body and mind.
"It's okay, I can handle it myself."
Looking at Su Yunli's charming appearance, Ye Chen actually felt a little flutter in his heart and said,
"Are you out of your mind? You actually severed all ties with your past? How can you bear to fall from a peak Heavenly Dao Realm expert back to the Burning Lamp Realm?"
"Do you know how much time and effort it would take to cultivate back to the Heavenly Dao Realm?"
Su Yunli giggled and asked, "Is brother concerned about me?"
"It's alright, I have ways to protect myself."
"What is this price to pay if there is a chance to attain enlightenment at the end of time?"
"The End Realm is a realm that even the Primordial Beginning and the Abyss have never reached!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt a sense of solemnity. He could sense that behind Su Liyun's playful and smiling appearance lay an extremely sincere and pure heart seeking the Dao.
The road is long and arduous, but I will search for it up and down!
What my heart desires, I will follow even unto death!
"The end... Even the realm of Pillar Gods is elusive, the end is too far away?"
Ye Chen murmured.
Su Yunli said that one could ascend to godhood, but that was only in the dream of the abyss. Who knows if things in dreams can actually come true?
In any case, over the years, no one has been able to become a pillar god, let alone challenge the majesty of the beginning and the abyss, or even touch the end.
Su Yunli's Dao is too arrogant, empty, and impractical.
However, her pursuit of the Dao truly shocked Ye Chen, as she even severed her past as a peak Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator.
"Seeking the truth is certainly difficult, but as long as I have a clear conscience, that's enough."
Su Yunli smiled, looked at the Winter Bead in Ye Chen's hand, and asked again,
"By the way, brother, where did you get this bead? I remember that before I came here, I had already passed the dzi bead on to a disciple in my family. Now it has appeared in your hands. It seems that we are really destined to meet."
As she spoke, she tightly clung to Ye Chen's arm, appearing quite affectionate.
To reach the end, yin and yang must be combined, and Ye Chen is the "yang" she has her eye on.
Ye Chen's heart tightened suddenly, and he asked, "What's the name of the disciple you mentioned?"
Su Yunli said, "That was a female disciple named Yan Xueci. My Lindong family consists of more than a dozen clans, and the Yan family is a large clan. Their clan produced a genius named Yan Xueci, who is very talented. I remember very clearly that I passed on the Lindong Pearl to her."
"Hmm, but when I was holding the Heavenly Bead just now, I traced the secrets of heaven and found that she had died a hundred years ago. Did you plunder this Heavenly Bead from her corpse?"
Ye Chen was shocked and said, "She died a hundred years ago? Impossible! This bead was indeed given to me by Miss Yan Xueci. She fell into the Ghost Realm's Sea of Corpses a hundred years ago. I even met her before that, and we even went through life and death together!"
"A sea of corpses in a ghostly realm?"
Upon hearing the place name, Su Yunli's expression instantly turned solemn. She then took the Winter Pearl and examined it carefully, as if she were trying to glimpse the secrets of heaven.
The Ghostly Corpse Sea was shrouded in ghostly energy, almost completely isolated from the world, making it difficult for outsiders to glimpse the secrets of heaven. At this moment, Su Yunli could vaguely perceive some situations through the Winter Pearl.
"The Fairy of Green Silk, the Ancestor of the Skeletons..."
"Hiss, the cause and effect of that place are a bit complicated."
"That child, Yan Xueci, has actually been dragged into such a complicated vortex?"
Su Yunli immediately sensed that something was amiss. The scene on the other side of the Ghostly Corpse Sea was enough to send chills down one's spine just by glancing at it.
Now, the Corpse Ancestor has become a demon and is causing chaos. The Ghostly Corpse Sea has also experienced a tremendous explosion. That world was shrouded in endless ghostly energy and has been destroyed, but Yan Xueci's fate is unknown.
Su Yunli fell into deep thought, never expecting that she would encounter such a huge vortex right after being reborn and awakened.
"How about it?"
Ye Chen looked at Su Yunli and asked.
Su Yunli pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, it seems we have to go to the Ghostly Corpse Sea. I like Yan Xueci very much, and I can't watch her die."
"Moreover, the Skeleton Ancestor has already been corrupted by demons. If we kill Xue Ci, we might have to trace back to the secrets of heaven and hunt him down all the way to the Rainbow Rain Realm, and wipe out my Winter Clan as well."
"Even the demonized skeletal ancestor can wreak havoc on the starry sky and cause immense disasters."
"Alas, I only want to cultivate and seek the Dao, and I really don't want to get involved in worldly struggles, but this matter involves my Winter Frost family, and I cannot sit idly by."
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the demonized Skeleton Ancestor.
The matter of the Skeleton Ancestor is closely related to him. If he sits idly by and does nothing, and the Skeleton Ancestor wreaks havoc in the starry sky and kills people everywhere, then the karma and sins will be attributed to him.
"Once I've settled things here, I'll go with you to the Ghostly Corpse Sea."
Ye Chen looked at Su Yunli and said.
Su Yunli gently touched Ye Chen's stomach and said softly, "Brother, you've suffered so much from this deadly poison curse. It's a pity that I can't help you right now."
She glanced at the blood moon in the sky, and a look of worry appeared on her face.
“I have a feeling that the Heavenly Venerable of the Heart will soon discover this place. I must leave as soon as possible, brother. I will wait for you outside the Land of No Worries.”
Su Yunli's Dao heart is extremely fragile now, much like that of an ordinary girl. If she were to be attacked by the Heart Celestial Venerable, she would instantly become a puppet.
She would only be a burden if she stayed here, so she must leave as soon as possible.
Ye Chen hummed in agreement. Although he felt a little serious, he wasn't too nervous.
Because if the curse of the Seven Sacred Wheels cannot be resolved here, he still has this backup plan: to rely on the physical body of the Heavenly Mother to break the curse.
Of course, this escape route is against the natural order and human ethics, and he and the Heavenly Mother will not take it until the very last moment.
It would be best to resolve all concerns here.
Su Yunli took a breath, as if making a decision, and said:
"Brother, let me give you a gift."
Ye Chen asked, "What?"
With a wave of her hand, Su Yunli conjured an ice and snow statue.
This ice and snow sculpture is a sculpture of a beautiful woman.
The beauty's demeanor was aloof and graceful, possessing a unique and captivating charm. Her appearance bore a striking resemblance to Su Yunli, though their temperaments were entirely different.
Su Yunli is lively and carefree, but this ice-cold beauty is as cold as frost and as frigid as snow, like a plum blossom in the cold.
"This is my transformation into the Heavenly Dao, the past me that I have severed."
Su Yunli smiled slightly, gazing at the statue of the ice and snow beauty, feeling a touch of nostalgia.
This is her past self, the past she has severed.
It's her... corpse!
“Please accept this, brother. Consider this Heavenly Dao Manifestation a gift from me.”
Su Yunli smiled brightly and looked at Ye Chen tenderly.
Looking at the ice and snow beauty statue, Ye Chen could feel a powerful force and said, "Is this your Heavenly Dao Transformation? This... seems to be a very precious thing. I can't accept it. You can keep it."
He shook his head but did not accept the generous gift.
Su Yunli said, "It's alright, just accept it. I've undergone a metamorphosis and been reborn. If I cling to the past, how can it be considered a rebirth?"
"If you wish to fight against the Heart Celestial Venerable, my Ice and Snow Transformation can help you."
With a wave of her slender hand, the ice and snow statue transformed into a streak of cold light and vanished into Ye Chen's body.
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not resist and accepted it, placing the statue in the Reincarnation Graveyard.
Su Yunli's ice and snow statue, placed in the Reincarnation Graveyard, immediately caused the temperature in half of the Reincarnation Graveyard to drop significantly.
The icy spiritual energy contained within this statue is extremely rich, even carrying the chilling aura of the other side of the starry sky.
Zhi Zhen, who was cultivating, opened his eyes, his eyes filled with surprise: "Brother Ye, can I refine this?"
Ye Chen was taken aback and quickly refused. As Yanfu Star Stone, the Supreme One really wanted to "eat" everything.
That's absolutely insane.
However, he also clearly noticed that Ultimate's condition was even better than before.
It was even surrounded by something special.
It resembles cause and effect, and also the rhythm of heaven and earth.
Seeing Ye Chen refuse, Zhizhen shook his head helplessly and continued cultivating.
Seeing that Ye Chen had accepted the statue, Su Yunli smiled slightly and said, "Alright, brother, I should go now, otherwise I won't be able to handle the arrival of the Heart Celestial Venerable." With that, she turned to leave.
Ye Chen said, "Wait, if you want to get out, you have to cross the Eternal Silent Abyss first. Can you cross it by yourself?"
Su Yunli smiled and said, "It's fine, as long as it doesn't emit light or sound, it's not difficult. I alerted the Heavenly Demon earlier, but I was careless and failed to suppress the light of Randeng's breakthrough."
Ye Chen thought to himself that she was the reborn Ice Glass Emperor, and must have all sorts of methods, so he didn't need to worry too much. He nodded and said, "Alright, you go out first and wait for me outside."
Su Yunli hummed in agreement and then turned to leave.
At this moment, the demons in the Eternal Silent Abyss had fallen into a quiet slumber again. As long as no sound or light is emitted, they will not be disturbed.
Su Yunli took a few steps, then suddenly turned back, walked up to Ye Chen, and kissed him on the cheek. Her bright and clear eyes looked at Ye Chen with a smile that was both pure and charming, as well as affectionate and playful.
“Brother, your pure yang body and my pure yin body are a perfect match.”
Su Yunli chuckled and finally turned and left.
Ye Chen stared at her retreating figure, momentarily stunned, then touched the cheek where he had just been kissed: "This woman..."
Mu Youying witnessed the whole thing, crossed her arms, and said, "It seems that Emperor Bingli has taken a liking to you."
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about her anymore. Let's think about how to find the light of the Heavenly Sage."
He looked at the world before him. The blood moon hung in the sky, the earth was dark and shrouded in an eerie crimson hue. There was a strange smell in the air, a mixture of the aroma of fine wine and honey, yet also a nauseating stench of corpses.
It smells like a mixture of fine wine, honey, and corpse fluid fermenting together.
When Su Yunli was still around, Ye Chen didn't smell this scent. His nose was filled with the pure and gentle fragrance of a young girl, with a refreshing coolness like ice and snow.
At this moment, Su Yunli left, the girl's fragrance dissipated, and the true scent of this world filled Ye Chen's nose.
"This area seems to have been corrupted by darkness as well."
Ye Chen frowned.
Mu Youying looked at the blood moon in the sky and said, "With the existence of the Heart Celestial Venerable, the pollution here will probably not be underestimated by the outside world."
Ye Chen said, "Where is the light of the Heavenly Sage? I can't see it myself, I can only rely on your eyes."
All Ye Chen could see now was the eerie light of the blood moon, which was mostly related to the Heart Celestial Venerable; he did not see any sacred light.
"I didn't see it either, but I had a feeling the light should be over here. Let's go."
A black glint flashed in Mu Youying's pupils as she looked towards the north, then took the lead and stepped forward.
Ye Chen followed. Having gone through so much trouble to get here, he couldn't back down now, no matter what.
