Chapter 12758 The Undefined Appearance
Ye Chen was startled, not expecting Leng Yueyao to ask about the "Yin Yang Divine Contract." He said, "I've heard of it. It's said to be a supreme secret manual that records the laws of Yin and Yang, divided into Yin chapter, Yang chapter, and combined chapter. Why are you asking about this?"
Leng Yueyao's voice carried a hint of wistful reminiscence, along with fear, as she spoke:
“I…I once glimpsed a clue to the Yang chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract in the Jin Yao District. It’s unbelievable that I could only glimpse a clue to such a supreme divine object.”
Ye Chen asked in surprise, "What?"
Leng Yueyao said, "I feel like I'm in a dream, but this clue is imprinted in my mind word by word."
"I think we must tell His Highness."
Ye Chen's heart pounded, and he said, "Go ahead and speak."
Of the three profound mysteries of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract, the Yin chapter was in the hands of the First Tyrant, making it difficult for Ye Chen to seize it, while the whereabouts of the Yang chapter was completely unknown to him.
If he knew the whereabouts of the Yang chapter, he would have another way to resolve the abyss.
Because, in order to dispel the abyss within the body, in addition to using the power of the Yin chapter, the Yang chapter can do the same!
Leng Yueyao said, "The clue I glimpsed is the Yang chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract, which is now scattered in the 'Great Sun Glazed Pure Land'. That place is no ordinary place; it is an eternal pure land formed by the condensation of pure Yang energy and ancient laws, without Yin or cold. It is said that the only way to enter it is through the Fusang Ancient Road."
When she said this, her voice was wooden, not like a real person, but more like a mechanical recitation.
"The Pure Land of Great Sun and Lapis Lazuli? The Ancient Path of Fusang?"
Ye Chen felt a tremor in his heart when he heard the name of the place.
"where?"
Ye Chen quickly calculated in his mind and deduced the secrets of heaven, vaguely discovering that the Yang Scroll was ownerless!
The Yin Chapter is in the hands of the First Tyrant, whose strength is unfathomable and whose nature is cruel. Taking the Yin Chapter from him is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
However, since the Yang Chapter was unclaimed, he had a sliver of hope. If he could obtain the Yang Chapter and control the Abyss, he could completely rid himself of this deadly threat.
Leng Yueyao gently shook her head. After revealing this clue, her face turned even paler. She clutched her chest and said with considerable pain:
"I don't know the exact location either. When I mentioned this clue, it felt like I had touched a taboo. I suddenly felt very uneasy. I must have been affected by the backlash."
Ye Chen's mind raced, and he said, "Then you should rest well first."
He thought to himself that with the two clues of the Great Sun Pure Land and the Ancient Road of Fusang, he could continue to deduce the secrets of heaven on his own without having to trouble Leng Yueyao. Moreover, she seemed to be unaware of the truth, only having vaguely glimpsed some clues.
Leng Yueyao said, "No, I haven't finished speaking yet, Your Highness."
"The reason I learned about this clue was by accident. When I went to the Jinyao District to investigate the disaster, I accidentally saw a giant wielding a giant axe. The clue was found on the giant."
"The giant's killing intent was extremely strong, and it directly cut me into serious injury."
"giant?"
Ye Chen frowned. When he resurrected Leng Yueyao with the Divine Moon Ocean Book, he had also caught a glimpse of a giant figure.
Looking back now, the giant's origins were anything but simple.
Leng Yueyao said, "Yes, Your Highness, the giant seems to be buried underground. I saw the earth crack open and then I glimpsed the giant's body. There are ancient characters on it. Those characters are the clues that point to the whereabouts of the Yang chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract."
"But I don't know where the Great Sun Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli and the Ancient Road of Fusang mentioned in the characters are."
Ye Chen pondered. It seemed that the only way to find out more of the truth was to go to Jin Yao District himself.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yueyao. Please rest well."
Ye Chen offered a reassuring remark, then left the room, instructing Leng Yuexi to return and look after her sister. He then sought out Ren Feifan again and recounted the story of the giant and the Yang chapter of the Yin-Yang Divine Contract.
Ren Feifan was quite surprised to hear this and said, "I know the identity of that giant, but how is he related to the Yin-Yang Divine Contract?"
Ye Chen asked, "Senior Ren, do you know who that giant is?"
Ren Feifan said, "I know, but it's hard to say now. The secrets of heaven are complicated. I'll tell you when we get to the Golden District."
Ye Chen was filled with doubts, but he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being.
Judging from Ren Feifan's appearance, he seemed to only know the giant's identity, but somehow he was involved with the Yin-Yang Divine Contract.
……
The airship continued its journey, breaking through the clouds in the sky, and flew towards the Jin Yao District.
Outside the Venus Zone, layers of chaotic stardust swirled, slowly rotating, with Geng Metal Divine Thunder roaring within them.
Judging from the weather, it's extremely dangerous.
The airship stopped outside the Golden District. Leng Yuexi asked Ye Chen, "Your Highness, we have arrived at the Golden District... but judging from the weather, a terrible natural disaster is brewing there. Our airship may not even be able to pass through."
Standing at the bow of the ship, Leng Yueyao looked at the terrifying scene in the Golden District and murmured, "The situation is much more serious than when I came here before. If we rush in, the flying ship will probably be crushed by these celestial nebulae before we even land in the Golden District."
Ye Chen said, "It's alright, I'll just cleave a passage with my sword."
He didn't waste any words or ask Ren Feifan for instructions. He already had the ability to handle things on his own, and since he had decided to go to Jinyao District, he naturally couldn't back down.
With a hiss, Ye Chen summoned the Moonlit Shattering Star Sword. Moonlight shone forth, and sword energy slashed forward, instantly carving a path through the stardust cloud.
Upon seeing this, everyone cheered.
Leng Yuexi then urged the flying boat to slowly enter the Golden District.
Several flying boats traveled safely through the sword energy passage opened up by Ye Chen, while on both sides of the passage were terrifying golden thunderclouds that made people's hearts tremble.
Leng Yuexi dared not be careless, so she sent the flying boat to the edge of the Golden District, but dared not go any further.
Upon officially arriving in Jin Yao District, Ye Chen looked around and saw that the sky over Jin Yao District was shrouded in a gray aura of disaster, with not a single ray of sunlight in sight.
The earth was covered with crisscrossing cracks, from which black, murky air billowed.
Between heaven and earth, chaotic Geng metal energy permeated the air, occasionally transforming into sword storms or forming terrifying dark golden tornadoes that swirled and danced across the land, creating an extremely frightening scene.
If one were caught in those sword storms or Geng metal tornadoes, one would likely be instantly reduced to ashes.
The people from the Moon District on the airship were all trembling with fear at the terrifying scene before them.
How could anyone possibly live in such a place?
I'm afraid that as soon as they get off the ship, they'll be torn apart by the Gengjin sword energy.
The entire area was devoid of any sign of life, and the air was thick with the oppressive atmosphere of impending doom.
Ren Feifan stood beside Ye Chen, his expression calm. He had never been to the Jin Yao District before, but he seemed to be used to the scene before him.
"The catastrophe in the Golden District is imminent. Most of the survivors in the district have gathered in the central Golden Heart City for refuge. It is protected by an array and is the only safe haven in the Golden District."
"That is why many scenic spots and historical sites in this area are not well guarded, such as the Li Huo Gui Yuan Pool."
"This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for us, and we can enter smoothly without spending too much effort."
Ren Feifan scanned the Jin Yao District and quickly grasped the situation.
Ren Feifan was the eyes and ears of the people in the Jin Yao District, so he had a clear understanding of everything.
"We can go and take a look at the Li Huo Gui Yuan Pool first," Ren Feifan said to Ye Chen.
Now, all he wants to do is get to the Li Huo Gui Yuan Pool as soon as possible and use the special spiritual energy in the pool to purify his body.
The spiritual energy of the Li Huo Gui Yuan Pool was also very beneficial to Ye Chen in consolidating his cultivation.
"Ah."
Ye Chen nodded, looking at the chaotic scene in Jin Yao District.
The aura of calamity here was far denser than he had imagined, mixed with a faint trace of dark, chaotic energy that subtly resonated with the abyssal power within him, making him somewhat uncomfortable.
He turned to look at Leng Yuexi and the others, and said:
"Yuexi, you all stay here for now. I need to go out with Senior Ren."
Leng Yuexi said, "Yes, Your Highness. Please be careful."
The residents of the Moonlit District were naturally more than happy to accept this. They dared not go out to their deaths, and staying on the airship offered them a chance to survive.
Ye Xingcai said, "Brother Chenye, I'll go with you."
Ye Chen nodded. Ye Xingcai is now the goddess of the Sun District, with considerable strength. With her by his side, she would be of great help.
Leng Yueyao stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I will also accompany you. I have been to the Jinyao District before, and perhaps I can give you some guidance."
Ye Chen saved her life, and now she only wants to repay him wholeheartedly.
"can."
Ye Chen's heart stirred slightly, and he agreed to Leng Yueyao's request.
Although the Golden District is dangerous, with him and Ren Feifan there, taking care of Leng Yueyao is naturally not a problem.
Ren Feifan has mastered most of the cause and effect in the Jin Yao District, but he is not clear about the Yang chapter of the Yin Yang Divine Contract.
As for Leng Yueyao, she has this clue, so it's good to bring her along.
Once the agreement was reached, the four of them boarded the flying boat and landed on the land of the Golden District.
The land here is as hard as iron, and there is a chaotic accumulation of sharp, metallic energy. Walking on it is like walking on a sharp knife.
The air seemed to be filled with sword energy, and the wind felt like knives.
Ren Feifan unleashed the aura of the Tree of Life, and a totem of a giant tree of destruction appeared behind him, crushing all the chaotic Geng metal energy that attacked.
Ren Feifan's current Law Realm has reached the Upper Level of the Tree of Life. Normally, his physical cultivation is at the ninth level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, but with the burst of power from the Tree of Life, he can push his cultivation to around the second level of the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
Generally speaking, outside the world, even top experts usually maintain their cultivation at the ninth level of the Heavenly Dao Realm. In battle, they rely on the burst of the Tree of Life to push their cultivation to the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
This step is called "promotion".
The laws of the Heavenly Pillar Realm are extremely heavy. If it's not a combat situation, no one would be willing to keep their Heavenly Pillar Realm cultivation active indefinitely, because that would mean bearing a heavy burden of pressure.
The original seventy-two pillar gods were already pillars of heaven and did not need to be upgraded. They were powerful, but maintaining the state of pillars of heaven put a huge burden on their bodies. Coupled with the Great Calamity of Burning Heaven, the original seventy-two pillar gods were all suffering from pain and torment, and their lives were worse than death.
Ren Feifan inherited the power of destruction, and could actually forcefully maintain the state of the Heavenly Pillar, but it was unnecessary, as that would only increase the burden.
If he were to unleash his full power during battle, under extreme conditions, Ren Feifan could likely ascend to the third level of the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
This level of strength is top-notch, even outside the entire world.
As for the experts above the third level of the Heavenly Pillar Realm, they are few and far between, even if we look at the entire world.
Aside from the Primordial Beginning and the Chaos Ancestor, the strongest beings currently capable of unleashing power no greater than the sixth level of the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
In fact, the 72 Pillar Gods at their peak probably had this level of strength.
Among the seventy-two pillar gods, some possess the cultivation of the ninth level of the Heavenly Pillar Realm, such as the Heavenly Ancestor at his peak. However, he cannot fully unleash his power in battle because he is subject to the limitations of the Burning Heaven Tribulation and numerous other painful conditions, which weakens his strength.
However, with the revival of chaos, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is becoming more and more vigorous. Perhaps in the near future, someone will be able to break through to the sixth level of the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
Looking at Ren Feifan's Tree of Life totem, Ye Chen could roughly sense these causes and effects.
As they continued their journey, the four ventured deeper into the Golden District, heading towards the Li Huo Gui Yuan Pool.
The deeper one goes, the more dilapidated and desolate the scenery becomes.
Along the way, Ye Chen saw many collapsed statues. The statues wore hoods with the brims pulled down so low that their true faces could not be seen, and their bodies were covered with cracks.
"It's a statue of the Great Heavenly Emperor..."
"The true features of the face cannot be seen. Legend has it that the face of the Heavenly Emperor is too unbearable to look at, but in reality it is because it has not yet been defined by anyone."
Ren Feifan looked at the statues with a rather complicated expression.
Although those statues did not depict facial features, he knew that they were the Great Heavenly Emperor, Ren Feifan himself.
The reason why there are no facial features is that Ye Chen has not yet defined facial features.
Ye Chen's heart trembled. He had already defined the Great Moon God, but he had not yet defined the Great Heavenly Emperor.
However, things that have not yet happened are now showing signs everywhere, and even the history of the Great Heavenly Emperor has been born.
Ye Xingcai and Leng Yueyao trembled upon seeing the statues.
The group remained silent and continued on their way.
The cracks in the ground were getting wider and wider.
Through the cracks, one could see something buried beneath the earth, not soil or rock, but a dark red texture resembling human muscle.
There is a giant buried underground!
A faint pulsation lingered on the giant's muscles, as if it were alive.
"Is there... a giant buried underground?"
Ye Chen felt a strange sense of unease.
Leng Yueyao stopped and pointed to the texture of the flesh within the crack, also quite horrified, and said:
"Your Highness, look, this is the body of the giant I saw before!"
"Back then, the earth didn't have as many cracks as it does now, and the catastrophic weather here was clearly more severe than before."
“I saw some ancient characters on the giant’s body.”
Leng Yueyao stared intently, but at this moment, no characters could be seen on the giant's muscles.
