A glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes: "The Moonlit District? The Chaos Moon Tree?"
“Yes.” Ren Feifan nodded. “Go to the Moonlight District and wait for me. I have an apprentice there named Qinghui.”
“He has a part of my Blood Moon inheritance. He is a calm, reliable, and trustworthy person. When you arrive in the Moon District, you can find him first. He may be able to help us find the Primordial Chaos Qi.”
"I will meet you after this matter is settled."
"Qinghui? Blood Moon Inheritance?" Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he memorized the name.
"Hurry up!" Ren Feifan urged repeatedly as he saw the Blazing Sun Ancient Emperor catching up. He then swung his palm, sending Ye Chen away with a gust of wind.
"Ren Feifan, die!"
In the next instant, the Blazing Sun Ancient Emperor had already reached Ren Feifan, and a terrifying sword aura of light slashed down.
clang--!
Ren Feifan parried with his sword, and the two were evenly matched.
Ye Chen sensed powerful auras coming from afar, including those of disciples of the Burning Heaven Ancient Saint Sect and those of experts from the Divine Tomb.
He wanted to go back to help in the battle, but the abyss within him was churning.
His mind was in turmoil.
In this state, they are simply incapable of fighting.
“My mind is in turmoil; concern makes me confused.”
Ye Chen frowned. He vaguely saw a path: to truly defeat the abyss, he had to sever his emotional ties.
This affection refers not only to romantic love, but also to familial love and friendship, which are also bonds.
As long as there is still love in one's heart, there will be weaknesses, and one will be exploited by the abyss.
Ye Chen knew he was not fit to fight, but he couldn't bear to leave Ren Feifan behind, so he called out:
"Senior Ren, here you go!"
Ye Chen offered a piece of red lotus to Ren Feifan.
The red lotus is made of stone and has ancient divine tomb patterns. The flames in the lotus heart are burning, which is the red lotus source fire that Ye Chen just obtained from the Tai Zhen Pill Tower!
Ren Feifan caught it with his bare hands, poured in his spiritual energy, and with a boom, flames erupted, carrying his own destructive intent, forcing the Blazing Sun Ancient Emperor, who had just caught up, to retreat.
"You scoundrel! How dare you steal my sect's divine fire?"
Enraged, the Ancient Emperor of Blazing Sun wildly swung his sword at Ren Feifan.
The two quickly engaged in fierce combat. Ye Chen gave Ren Feifan a deep look, then turned and flew towards the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea.
For now, he could only go to the Moon District of the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea and wait to meet up with Ren Feifan.
As he flew, Ye Chen felt as if countless eyes were watching him from all directions, trying to find his whereabouts.
This was clearly because he had just unleashed the aura of the Starry Sky Dao Book and the Great Dao of the Sage, almost exposing himself.
"A single Heaven-Deceiving Talisman is no longer enough to conceal my aura. It seems I need to find the Primordial Chaos Qi."
With that thought in mind, Ye Chen used his spatial magic and soon arrived at the outer edge of the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea.
Upon arriving here, Ye Chen clearly felt that the tombstone of the Goddess of Illusion Moon in the Reincarnation Graveyard was trembling slightly again.
Clearly, the Goddess of Illusion is yearning to awaken!
The Moon Zone in the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea has an intricate connection with the Goddess of Illusionary Moon!
"Don't worry, I'll go to the Moonlight District right away."
Ye Chen recalled Ren Feifan's words: there was a Chaos Moon Tree in the Moon District, which contained a lot of Chaos Mother Qi.
He planned to go to the Moonlight District to find Ren Feifan's apprentice, Qinghui, and then wait to meet up with Ren Feifan.
If we could take this opportunity to awaken the Goddess of Illusion, that would be even better.
Among the goddesses of the three months, the Crimson Moon Goddess has been revived and is currently guarding the other side of the starry sky.
Ye Chen had promised the Crimson Moon Goddess that he would also awaken her two older sisters.
At that moment, Ye Chen moved, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the Moonlit District.
Within the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea, there remains of primordial light, which is easily corroded without the protection of a flying boat.
At this moment, Ye Chen's physical body traversed the chasm without riding on the skeleton of the Abyss Kun. Instead, he was surrounded by wisps of faint radiance, which were as transparent as crystal, dreamlike and illusory, and were the colors of "Man Su".
He has inherited the Yin God's Path of Drowsy Confusion, which is closely related to the Eternal Dream. By slightly activating the power of the Path of Drowsy Confusion, Ye Chen is surrounded by a layer of dreamlike crystal light, and he seems to have entered a dream.
In contrast to the dreamlike realm, there is the world of waking life. All the myriad realms, whether beyond the stars or beyond the world itself, are part of the "waking life."
Strictly speaking, after the Mansu path was activated, Ye Chen was in a dream. When he woke up, he did not exist in the world; he had already entered the "nothingness".
Therefore, even if Ye Chen were to physically traverse the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea, he would no longer be harmed.
With the addition of the Deceitful Talisman, he concealed his aura exceptionally well.
However, this concealment is contingent on him not engaging in combat.
Once the battle begins, the aura surges, and the state of constant stagnation is about to break.
Therefore, for Ye Chen, the Primordial Chaos Qi remains extremely important, as it can further enhance his concealment.
As Ye Chen flew, he faintly sensed hostility within the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea. That hostility came from the Sun District!
The people of the Holy Light Oath Temple in the Sun District still wanted to kill him.
He was careful to avoid the light of the sunlit area and to prevent any unforeseen complications.
Currently, Empress Yang and Ye Xingcai are still in the Sun District. Yin Shen has said that Ye Chen should kill the mother and daughter to completely eradicate the Abyss's anchor point.
But Ye Chen couldn't do it.
After flying for half a day, Ye Chen finally arrived at the border of the Moonlit District.
As soon as he stepped into the Moonlit Zone, a rich moonlight power rushed towards him, making him feel comfortable all over, and the abyssal energy in his body also became much more stable.
Ahead lay a vast wasteland with many dilapidated buildings that looked like ancient ruins.
Ye Chen entered and saw that the ruins were covered with wanted posters from the Void Trade Market.
Each arrest warrant features his portrait and a line of prominent text:
A bounty of 100,000 soul fragments is offered for the capture of Ye Chen, the Lord of Reincarnation, dead or alive!
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't expected that the wanted poster from Void City would have already been posted in the Moonlight District.
It seems that if he wants to establish himself in the Moonlight District, he must be more cautious and not reveal his true identity.
He activated the Deceitful Talisman once more, completely altering his appearance and aura, transforming himself into an ordinary-looking, unassuming rogue cultivator, and then cautiously traversed the ruins and wasteland.
"The disciple Qinghui that Senior Ren mentioned should be in this direction..."
Ye Chen, sensing the secrets of heaven and deducing cause and effect, roughly sensed Qinghui's aura and immediately walked forward.
As Ye Chen traveled through the area, he discovered that the scenery of the Moonlit District was far stranger than he had imagined.
The earth and the sky are two completely different worlds, the difference is so huge that it's unbelievable.
The ground was desolate, dark and cold, with not a glimmer of light in sight.
The land was a strange silvery-gray, barren of vegetation, an endless wasteland.
The wasteland was filled with a thick chill and an eerie aura, and countless ferocious monsters roamed the wasteland.
These monsters were born from the corruption of lunar energy and chaotic energy. They are extremely ferocious and powerful. If you are not careful, you will be devoured by these monsters.
But the scene in the sky was quite different.
Countless white clouds floated in the sky, and above them stood several majestic moonlit cities.
The city was built entirely of moonstone, radiating a dazzling silver-white light. From a distance, it looked like a fairy city floating in the sky, a magnificent sight.
These moonlit cities are connected by crystal-clear moonlight chains, upon which flows a rich power of moonlight.
Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the moonlit city in the sky, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
He could sense that the Moonlight Cities contained extremely powerful energy, and the auras of countless powerful individuals fluctuated within them. Clearly, these Moonlight Cities had been occupied by some powerful forces.
"It seems that the situation in the Moonlight District is more complicated than I imagined."
Ye Chen thought to himself, "I need to find Qinghui, whom Senior Ren mentioned, first to learn about the specific situation in the Moonlight District."
Ye Chen composed himself and continued his journey across the silvery-gray wasteland.
On the desolate plains, the air was bitterly cold and filled with a menacing aura. The roars of monsters echoed around from time to time, sending chills down one's spine.
Ye Chen activated his spiritual vision, avoiding the powerful monsters, and locked onto Qinghui's causal traces, heading towards the depths of the wasteland.
The wilderness was vast and boundless. Ye Chen walked through it for a full day and night, encountering many ferocious monsters along the way. Fortunately, he was strong enough to escape danger without suffering any harm.
At this moment, Ye Chen and Qing Hui were getting closer and closer, and he could clearly sense Qing Hui's presence.
From the depths of the wasteland came the crisp sound of clashing weapons and muffled groans.
Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he quickened his pace, flying forward.
In the open space ahead, a dozen ferocious werewolves were attacking a slender figure.
The man gripped a short sword, desperately fending off the werewolf's attack.
His left arm had been ripped open by the werewolf's claws, leaving a deep wound that soaked his clothes with blood.
Upon seeing this person, Ye Chen, with his keen insight, immediately recognized him as Qinghui, Ren Feifan's disciple.
Those werewolves were huge, with coarse fur, blood-red eyes, and were extremely ferocious. They looked like native demons of this Moonlit District.
At Qinghui's feet lay a series of corpses, all of whom were his companions, judging from their attire. They had all been killed, leaving only him to fight back, but he was already exhausted.
Damn it!
Qinghui gritted her teeth, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes.
If this continues, he will be torn to pieces by these werewolves sooner or later.
"Heaven and earth stand still."
Just as a werewolf leaped up, opened its blood-red maw, and lunged at Qinghui's neck, a faint radiance spread out, expanding into a domain.
Within the realm, time suddenly stopped, and the werewolf that had leaped up to pounce was frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
All the other werewolves also froze in place like statues.
Upon seeing this, Qinghui was stunned. He glanced to the side and saw a tall, handsome young man walking towards him.
The young man was none other than Ye Chen. He used a time-stop spell, immediately freezing all the werewolves in place.
The werewolves' bodies stiffened, but their minds were still working. As Ye Chen walked towards them step by step, a huge sense of panic surged in all of them.
"You...you are..."
Qinghui stared at Ye Chen in disbelief. On the surface, Ye Chen was just an ordinary cultivator, and he couldn't recognize Ye Chen's identity.
But how could an ordinary cultivator possibly wield such powerful time-law energy?
Do you know Ren Feifan?
Ye Chen asked.
Qinghui hurriedly said, "I know him, I know him! Lord Ren is my master! He saved me when I was training abroad."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I am Ren Feifan's friend. You can call me... Chen Ye."
Ye Chen gave himself a false name and did not reveal his identity.
"Chen Ye?"
Qinghui was puzzled and did not fully believe Ye Chen's words.
However, he did detect a deep causal connection between Ye Chen and Ren Feifan.
Moreover, Ye Chen possesses such powerful time law power that killing him would be incredibly easy for him, so there's no reason for him to deceive him.
Ye Chen's time domain caused all the werewolves to freeze in time, but Qinghui remained unaffected. This ability to control and manipulate time with such exquisite precision was something Qinghui had never heard of before.
He hurriedly bowed and said, "Junior Qinghui greets Senior Chenye!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, and the laws of time began to operate again. An hourglass totem appeared in the domain. The hourglass turned back, time flowed backward, and the corpses on the ground came back to life.
"Brother, sister...you...you're alive?"
When Qinghui saw his companions resurrected, he was both shocked and overjoyed.
Those corpses were corroded by the chaotic energy, making it difficult to revive them. However, Ye Chen swept away the chaos with a wave of his hand, turned back time, and revived everyone.
When everyone was resurrected and awoke, they were all filled with a sense of bewilderment and astonishment.
Qinghui went over and hugged her two relatives, crying and saying that her master and friend had descended and that Ye Chen had saved them. Only then did everyone wake up from their daze and hurriedly get up to thank him repeatedly.
The werewolves frozen in place by time had an intense look of despair in their eyes.
"Senior Chenye, how is Master?"
Qinghui wiped away her tears and hurriedly asked Ye Chen for advice.
"Hmm... Your master is doing well and will come to join us soon. I have some things to ask you."
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, but didn't reveal too much. He believed that with Ren Feifan's strength, he could escape unscathed from the Blazing Sun Ancient Emperor.
Now, he needs to find out some things from Qinghui.
For example, what is the basic situation of the Moonlit District, and where is the Chaos Moon Tree?
Qinghui said, "It's good that Master is alright. May I ask what instructions you have for me, Senior?"
"This isn't the place to talk." Ye Chen looked around. This wasteland was filled with a dangerous atmosphere, and he needed to find a safe place.
Qinghui understood and said, "Yes, we shouldn't stay here any longer. There might be more demons appearing. Senior, let me take you back to my tribe."
Ye Chen nodded.
Looking at the werewolves who were frozen in place, Qinghui asked again, "How do we deal with these demons?"
Ye Chen said, "You guys handle it."
He did not personally kill anyone, because killing might trigger the abyss.
A hint of hatred flashed in Qinghui's eyes as she waved to her companion.
The group drew their swords and swiftly hacked the werewolves into mincemeat.
Ye Chen turned his head away and didn't look. After the matter was resolved, Ye Chen and Qinghui and the others walked forward together to Qinghui's tribe.
Along the way, Ye Chen saw demons running rampant and the environment extremely harsh.
Looking up at the sky, those enormous cities bathed in moonlight appeared serene and imbued with spiritual energy.
Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Qinghui, why don't you live in the sky? This earth is full of demons and monsters; it's not a place for humans to live."
Besides demons, this dark and cold land is also faintly permeated with chaotic energy.
Living in such a place for a long time is extremely harmful to one's health.
Upon hearing Ye Chen's question, Qinghui gave a wry smile and said helplessly:
"The Moonlit City in the sky is the residence of the Moonflower Sect, the Heavenly Moon Pavilion, and the Moon God's Mansion. We are rogue cultivators who have been driven to this Silver Moon Wasteland to live among monsters and demons."
Even so, it's still much better than being outside.
Ye Chen thought so too; most places in the Origin World had harsher environments than this Silver Moon Wasteland.
Here, at least there is sky, earth, the spirit of heaven and earth, and order; it is not a chaotic and disorderly world.
Have you ever heard of... the Goddess of Illusionary Moon?
Ye Chen asked.
He could sense that Qinghui's bloodline aura had a slight causal connection with the Goddess of Illusion Moon, but it was very shallow and faint, unlike that of a direct descendant of the Goddess of Illusion Moon.
