Chapter 12723 The Man in the Tomb of the Gods
The success of this arrangement surprised even Ye Chen himself, and he even began to suspect that it was a deliberate scheme by the Myriad Causes Corpse Buddha.
But at this critical moment, Ye Chen couldn't care less about anything else. Time was of the essence, so he immediately left Tai Xuan City and flew towards the Tomb of the Burial Moon God.
Ye Chen soared through the air, his body enveloped in a silver-white light shield formed by the laws of spacetime, completely isolating him from the chaotic air currents along the way.
In the world of origin, there is always a decaying and violent aura. The further away you are from Tai Xuan City, the stronger that aura becomes, as if the world itself is sinking and decaying.
The Origin World is vast and boundless. Fortunately, Ye Chen possesses divine power over time and space, which is very useful for traveling.
After about half a day, the sky ahead suddenly darkened, and an endless expanse of dilapidated ancient land came into view. Through causal insight, it was indeed the Tomb of the Burial Moon God that Manager Jin had mentioned!
Upon arriving near the Tomb of the Moon God, a rumbling sound was heard from the Reincarnation Cemetery, and a tombstone trembled.
Ye Chen looked and saw that it was the tombstone of the Goddess of Wishing for the Moon!
The Moon Goddess, one of the goddesses of the three months, represents the way of wishes.
Ye Chen also currently possesses the Divine Path of Burning Lamp Wishes, which is connected to the Daoist Path of the Goddess of Wishes, and at this moment, a strong resonance is generated.
"May the remains of the moon goddess be buried here?"
Ye Chen was greatly surprised. It seemed that the Tomb of the Moon God had some connection with the Goddess of Wishing for the Moon!
He looked up and saw that the earth in front of him was cracked like a spider web, and dark gray chaotic mist was constantly spewing out from the dark cracks. The mist rolled and surged, turning into hideous and terrifying ghost faces, and letting out bursts of roars.
In mid-air, distorted chaotic demons swirled about, some with three heads and six arms, some with bodies like giant pythons but covered in bone spurs, and others made entirely of chaotic mud. Each time they landed, the ground would corrode and hiss white smoke would rise.
The roars of demons and the tearing sounds of chaotic air currents intertwined, creating a scene resembling a living hell. Just watching from afar was enough to make one's heart tremble.
This place shows no signs of desire or lunar activity whatsoever; it's no different from other chaotic wastelands, and perhaps even darker and more terrifying.
Ye Chen scanned the area and saw that the outer area of the Burial Moon God Tomb was sparsely populated with demons, mostly low-level chaotic beasts, while the inner area was filled with monstrous demonic energy, with several terrifying figures entrenched there, clearly powerful beings guarding this place.
Manager Jin's words were true; if the treasure was buried on the outskirts, there was indeed no need to venture into dangerous territory.
Ye Chen calculated with his fingers, pinpointed the cause and effect, and with a leap, silently landed beside a broken, moon-white stone tablet. This was the coordinate marked by Manager Jin using the Heavenly Secrets Method.
He raised his hand and pressed down, and the power of reincarnation surged into the ground through his palm, instantly detecting something sealed below.
There's a real treasure!
Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he flicked his finger, sending a pale golden spacetime blade slicing through the soil.
With a soft thud, the ground suddenly cracked open, revealing a gap about ten feet wide, and three black treasure chests, glowing with an eerie light, appeared before him.
Ye Chen grabbed the leftmost treasure chest with his hand, opened it, and took a look.
Countless tiny silver-blue light spots burst forth, and a pure and gentle aura of soul energy swept over us.
Ye Chen looked inside and saw that the treasure chest contained many thumb-sized crystal chips, stacked in layers, numbering about three thousand.
Each chip contains the power of a pure soul.
"Hmm, this should be the high-purity soul fragment that Manager Jin was talking about."
Ye Chen nodded. These soul fragments, besides serving as currency, can also be used to nourish the soul, stabilize the Dao heart, and resist the erosion and damage of chaos. They are indeed hard currency that everyone needs.
Ye Chen waved his hand, collecting all the soul fragments into the Reincarnation Graveyard.
Immediately afterwards, he opened the largest treasure chest in the middle. There was no dazzling light inside the chest, only a black skeleton resembling a giant Kun lying quietly inside.
The walls of this treasure chest are engraved with spatial runes, making the interior space of the chest actually much larger than its exterior.
Inside the enormous treasure chest, the skeleton resembling a giant Kun, about a hundred feet long, still exuded an ancient and chilling aura even though it had long since lost its life.
"Yes, this should be the remains of the Abyss Kun."
Ye Chen nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the skeleton of the Abyss Kun flew out, shrinking continuously until it landed in his palm.
"The aura contained in the remains of this Abyss Kun far surpasses that of my Azure Sky Dragon Boat. I only hope that it can truly traverse the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea."
Ye Chen thought to himself, and finally opened the third treasure chest.
Inside the treasure chest was only a yellowed scroll.
Ye Chen reached out and took out the scroll, slowly unfurling it. In the center of the scroll was a pure white tower that soared into the clouds, radiating a brilliant aura.
"This is... the Radiant Tower?"
Ye Chen's gaze shifted slightly as he detected a peculiar fluctuation of law, related to the Ancient God Path.
The Tower of Radiance is one of the twelve paths of the ancient gods!
This scroll, with its printed image of the Radiant Tower, allows one to gradually grasp the mysteries of the Radiant Tower path by observing and studying it.
There are two more paths leading to the Tower of Glory.
First, there are those who hope for blessings; second, there are those who bestow blessings.
Those who seek blessings accept their own weakness and long for salvation and grace from others.
The one who bestows blessings is one who becomes light, illuminating the world.
Manager Jin had clearly used the path of the Seekers, which was why he was able to sense Ye Chen's presence.
In Manager Jin's eyes, Ye Chen was light, his great benefactor who could save him, and even the Heaven-Deceiving Talisman could not conceal his true nature.
Walking on the path of the One who hopes for salvation, even in the most desperate situations, one can see the light of redemption in despair.
This path won't make you powerful, but it's extremely effective at preserving your life. However, it involves entrusting your fate to others and living at their mercy.
"No wonder Manager Jin could sense my presence; it turns out he took the path of the Tower of Radiance and mistook me for light..."
Ye Chen was speechless for a moment, then he understood.
In fact, his Heaven-Deceiving Talisman was still effective and had not been seen through. It was just that Manager Jin was walking on the path of those who longed for blessings, and as long as there was light, he would inevitably see it.
What matters is the light, the light of salvation; it doesn't matter who it is.
Ye Chen just happened to arrive, and that became a blessing for Manager Jin.
Ye Chen carefully put away the scroll of the Radiant Tower route, thinking it might be useful in the future, and then prepared to leave.
But just then, a piercing roar suddenly came from the chaotic mist ahead.
Immediately afterwards, three distorted chaotic demons pounced on them.
These three demons were formed entirely from gray-black chaotic mud. They were several meters tall, with thick limbs and a single eye on their heads, which flashed with a bloodthirsty red light. They were some of the more powerful chaotic demons in the Tomb of the Burial Moon God.
For some reason, they suddenly pounced on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's eyes turned cold. Without moving, he conjured three pale golden spacetime blades at his fingertips.
Now that he has reached the ninth level of the Undying Realm and controls many divine powers, he doesn't need to expend too much effort to deal with chaotic demons of this level.
Three spatial blades ripped through the void, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, instantly piercing the bodies of the three demons.
puff-
Flesh and blood, like mud, splattered everywhere.
But in the next instant, even more chaotic demons roared and charged out from the Tomb of the Moon God.
The demons' eyes were bloodshot, as if they wanted to tear Ye Chen to pieces.
"Are they... mistaking me for the moon goddess?"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered, and he immediately understood.
He was on the edge of the Tomb of the Moon God. In theory, as long as he didn't go too deep, he wouldn't be in danger.
But now, the demons inside the Tomb of the Moon God are charging out like madmen.
At this moment, within the Reincarnation Graveyard, the tombstone of the Goddess of Wishes for the Moon was also shaking violently, resonating with something deep within the Tomb of the Goddess of the Burial of the Moon.
This resonance clearly alarmed the chaotic demons.
"It's not suitable to stay here for long."
Ye Chen made a swift decision, immediately using spatial magic to turn and leave.
After he left, the tombstone of the Moon Goddess continued to shake violently, as if pleading with Ye Chen to return to the Moon Goddess Tomb and search for her remains.
"May the Moon Goddess rest in peace. One day in the future, I will go to the Moon Goddess's tomb, but not now."
Ye Chen offered a word of comfort, knowing that the Tomb of the Moon Goddess contained the remains of the Goddess of Wishes, and possibly some other very important items.
If we can find it, we can revive the goddess of the moon!
But now, Ye Chen has important matters to attend to and obviously cannot afford to create any unnecessary complications.
Seemingly understanding Ye Chen's predicament, the Moon Goddess stopped causing trouble, and the turmoil at the tombstone subsided.
Half a day later, Ye Chen returned to the outer edge of the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea and saw the outline of Tai Xuan City in the distance.
This time, Ye Chen did not enter Tai Xuan City again, otherwise it would have alarmed the Myriad Corpse Buddha, which would have been extremely bad.
He infused his spiritual energy into the remains of the Kun, causing the entire flying boat to swell and reveal the true form of the giant Kun skeleton.
Ye Chen entered the belly of the giant Kun and rode on it, officially entering the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea.
The Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea has nine major areas. As soon as Ye Chen entered, the first thing he felt was a vast and boundless aura of light.
That was the primordial aura, boundless and vast, enough to turn even humans into light.
Ye Chen's Abyss Kun skeleton was formed from the remains of a very ancient chaotic creature, which was just right to resist the erosion of the Primordial Bright Light.
The skeleton of the Abyss Kun flew through the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea. Ye Chen was inside the giant Kun's belly and was not affected by the light storm or other radiation.
The Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea is extremely large. The skeleton of the Abyss Kun flies above it, appearing like a speck of dust compared to the vast and boundless Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea.
"Are Nüyangshen and Ye Xingcai in the Sun District?"
"But the eternal fire I seek is in the Fire District."
Ye Chen activated his Primordial Spirit Eye, gaining insight into the eight directions of heaven and earth.
He saw that the Goddess Yang and Ye Xingcai were in the Sun District, which was quite far from the Fire District he was going to.
Above the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea, there is another island floating, drifting slowly between the nine regions. This is the Feather Island that Manager Jin mentioned.
Flying ships sailing through the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea will dock on Feather Island to rest, purchase fuel, and replenish supplies.
Ye Chen now relies entirely on his own spiritual energy as fuel to power the Abyss Kun's skeleton.
"Just to be on the safe side, I'll go buy some things first."
With a thought, Ye Chen activated the skeleton of the Abyss Kun and landed on Feather Island.
Manager Jin had told him to go to Feather Island and find a woman named "Qiu Wangshui," who could help him escape his predicament.
Ye Chen could only say that he would handle this matter as a matter of convenience, as he couldn't afford to waste any more time if any further complications arose.
As soon as you step onto Feather Island, a refreshing breeze hits you, invigorating your spirit.
The island is small, with a serene and secluded landscape. It is surrounded by clouds and mist, and various flying boats can be vaguely seen moored there.
Ye Chen concealed his aura and walked in the direction of the densest crowd. Before long, he saw a pavilion made entirely of dark crystal.
Above the pavilion hangs a plaque inscribed with the four ancient characters “Xu Kong Yi Shi” (虚空易市), and below it is a line of smaller characters that read “Yu Zhi Dao Fen Dian” (羽之岛分点).
The Void Market is similar to the Gold Auction House on the other side of the starry sky, with branches all over the Origin World.
This is the main supply point on Feather Island, and also the place that Manager Jin mentioned has a high probability of leading to Qiu Wangshui.
Stepping into the Void Exchange, Ye Chen looked around and saw that the space was much larger than it appeared on the outside. Various shelves were displayed on both sides, and several cultivators dressed in uniform blue robes stood behind the counters.
As soon as Ye Chen entered, he noticed three people standing in front of the counter. They were all wearing black iron masks, only revealing their jawlines, and their arms were wrapped with heavy iron chains.
"The Tomb Raider..."
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine; such attire clearly indicated that he was from the Tomb of the Gods.
Behind the counter, a woman in a pale white dress was calmly receiving them.
The woman had a cool and aloof demeanor, her long hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and her temperament was quiet yet exuded an air of authority.
She looked up at the three people from the Divine Tomb and smiled slightly, "Gentlemen, what would you like to do?"
The masked man at the head of the group said calmly, "We need to replenish some Chaos Spirit Stones, three hundred of them."
The woman didn't ask any further questions, took out several heavy bags of black crystals, and smiled:
"Please keep this safe. There are thirty soul fragments in total."
The masked man nodded slightly, signaling his companion to pay for the soul fragments. He then put away the spirit stone bag, said no more, and turned to leave with the two of them.
As he passed by Ye Chen, the masked man suddenly stopped, his sharp gaze fixed on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen also noticed the Iron Mask's gaze and instantly felt a sense of familiarity.
"Emperor Jin Yu, it's him!"
Ye Chen's mind exploded. From that sharp gaze, he instantly recognized that it was none other than Emperor Jin Yu!
The physical body of the Golden Feather Emperor had long been seized by Ye Chen.
At that time, Emperor Jinyu died, but as one of the Three Pure Ones Pillar Gods, he was not so easily destroyed. His divine essence escaped and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that gaze, Ye Chen instantly understood that Emperor Jin Yu had been resurrected and had even joined the Divine Tomb!
In fact, with Ye Chen's current strength, he would not be afraid even if the Golden Feather Emperor were to be resurrected.
After all, the resurrected Golden Feather Emperor was no longer as powerful as he was at his peak, and could no longer be Ye Chen's match.
However, if we add the Tomb of the Gods to the mix, things might be different.
Things have become complicated.
Emperor Jinyu stared at Ye Chen for a long time, his eyes revealing a look of disgust, but he didn't seem to recognize Ye Chen.
Within the Void Market exchange, he couldn't break the rules and act recklessly, so he eventually left.
