Chapter 12835 Hurry up and make your move!
After all, the Seven Cold Clan also holds the Daoist tradition of the Hour of Hai (9-11 PM), and with Ye Chen's help, their strength is truly not to be underestimated.
Once relations are broken, even if a powerful figure from the Ancient Kingdom of Yuyin arrives later and can suppress Ye Chen and the others, his side will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Shuang Qianxue looked at Ye Chen with a rather complicated expression, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Don't dwell on this matter for now. The most important thing right now is to retrieve the Frost Serpent."
"The pure Yin essence blood of this Frost Serpent is the key to my breakthrough, and I must not let it go."
After a pause, she said to Ye Chen:
"Lord of Reincarnation, you offended me before by daring to peep at me while I was bathing. You were wrong first."
"However, you have done a good job in helping me out this time. If you are willing to help me kill the Frost Serpent, I can be lenient with you for your previous offense."
She thought that Ye Chen was powerful and that if he helped her, she would surely be able to kill the Frost Python.
Ye Chen's pure Yang aura was just right to counter the Frost Serpent and other chaotic beasts.
"Spying on someone showering?"
Yin Jili and the other disciples of the Ancient Kingdom of Yuyin were stunned and speechless upon hearing this.
Looking at Shuang Qianxue's body, Yin Jili thought about how Ye Chen had seen her naked, and a feeling of resentment and anger welled up in his heart.
"Uh……"
Shuang Qianxue was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had misspoke and was immediately embarrassed, her face turning red to her ears.
Upon hearing Shuang Qianxue's words, Ye Chen's expression darkened, and he said:
"You want me to help you kill the Frost Serpent? Sorry, I'm in a hurry and don't have time to waste with you."
Ye Chen was also quite interested in the pure Yin essence blood of the Frost Python, but since the Frost Python had already escaped, chasing after it would inevitably waste time.
Ye Chen really didn't want any unnecessary complications; he just wanted to get to the Imperial Prison of Emperor Elephant as soon as possible and find the Xuan Yi Imperial Seal.
This Xuan Yi Imperial Seal is one of the nine great treasures of chaos, and it was also a magic weapon that Ren Feifan once wielded. As long as it is nearby, Ye Chen will surely be able to find its trace by following Ren Feifan's cause and effect.
"What, you won't help me?"
Shuang Qianxue's eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately became angry, saying:
"If you refuse, then I'll call my father, the Emperor, to punish you and have you skinned alive!"
As she spoke, she took out a communication talisman, and after slightly infusing it with spiritual energy, a human figure appeared on the talisman.
It was a man wearing a crown and a black dragon robe.
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, "The First Tyrant?"
The figure manifested by the talisman was none other than the First Tyrant!
Could it be that the progenitor of the Tyrant Path, the powerful being who wielded the Yin Chapter, the First Tyrant, was actually the ruler of the Ancient Kingdom of Yin Control?
Ye Chen's mind went blank, completely taken aback by this situation.
Shuang Qianxue smiled slightly and said, "That's right, my father is the number one tyrant, but don't worry, he has the benevolent side of the number one tyrant. As long as you behave well, he won't hurt you."
"But if you are arrogant and disrespectful, you will suffer the consequences."
Ye Chen asked curiously, "A kind and benevolent personality?"
Could it be like a spirit of the underworld?
Ling Yuan, who was standing to the side, said, "Yes, Lord of Reincarnation, you may not know this, but the Ancient Kingdom of Yuyin has now passed down to the third generation. The king is the benevolent form of the first tyrant, and is known as the Great Benevolent One."
"I have only heard that this great benevolent man has been corrupted by chaos and shows signs of depravity."
Upon hearing these words, Shuang Qianxue and Yin Jili's expressions changed drastically, and they shouted in unison, "Nonsense!"
Shuang Qianxue said, "My father is perfectly fine, you old man, don't talk nonsense."
Ling Yuan dared not speak further and lowered his head.
Ye Chen also glimpsed the secrets of heaven and saw the outline: the former first tyrant had cut off all his benevolence, compassion, empathy, and weakness in order to refine his Dao heart.
What remains is the heart of a ruthless, merciless, domineering, and fierce emperor.
As for the mercy he severed, it became another version of him, a benevolent version of himself.
This situation is somewhat similar to that of the Yin spirits, who also have two personalities: one good and one evil.
Ye Chen never expected that this kind-hearted first tyrant would become the ruler of the Ancient Kingdom of Yuyin.
The Chaotic Cold Land is filled with chaotic energy, and even the kindest person, if they live there for a long time, will gradually become corrupted and degenerate.
Now, that great benevolent man is probably about to fall into evil.
If Shuang Qianxue were to summon that benevolent one, the situation would become even more troublesome, and Ye Chen would likely find himself in an even deeper vortex.
Ye Chen looked at Shuang Qianxue and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do?"
Shuang Qianxue laughed and said, "It's very simple. You just need to help me hunt down the Frost Ancient Python. After the hunt is successful, we'll split the ferocious pure Yin essence blood equally."
Yin Jili also said, "Your Highness the Princess asked you to help in the battle, so you should obediently help her!"
He figured Ye Chen was incredibly strong, so he would first hunt down the Frost Python to weaken Ye Chen before making his move to capture him, which would be much easier.
Ye Chen pondered to himself that it would be difficult to break free from Shuang Qianxue's entanglement.
If the opponent summons the First Tyrant, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"It seems that I should agree to her first, and then take the opportunity to escape when the encirclement and suppression of the Frost Serpent is in chaos."
Having made up his mind, Ye Chen nodded immediately and said to Shuang Qianxue, "I agree."
Shuang Qianxue was overjoyed and said, "That's great! Let's hurry and chase after them. That monstrous beast has already escaped far away. If we don't chase after it now, we won't be able to catch up."
Once the agreement was reached, Shuang Qianxue, Yin Jili, and many elites from the ancient Yuyin Kingdom boarded the Cold Domain Sky Ship.
The people of the ancient Yuyin Kingdom have lived in the Chaotic Cold Land for many years and have long been adapted to its climate. They can traverse the void of heaven and earth with their physical bodies, but with the Heavenly Boat available, it is naturally better to travel by boat.
Ling Yuan dared not delay, added enough crystal fuel, and propelled the Sky Ship at full speed, sailing on the windless and snowless sea at an extremely fast pace.
After a rapid journey of about half an hour, they finally spotted the Frost Serpent.
The Frost Serpent was severely injured and bleeding profusely. As it moved through the seawater, it left a trail of blood that was very conspicuous.
Yin Jili said, "That beast is right ahead!"
The Frost Python noticed that Ye Chen and the others were chasing it, so it sped up its escape and soon managed to escape from the sea to the shore.
On the shore was a vast, flat ice field. Once ashore, it glided across the smooth ice, moving even faster.
Ye Chen and his group abandoned the ship and flew on foot to catch up.
After chasing for a while, Yin Jili sensed something was wrong and said, "That beast seems to be trying to lead us somewhere."
Shuang Qianxue only wanted to obtain pure Yin essence blood to break through her cultivation level, and said, "Never mind all that, let's keep chasing!"
The group chased for another half hour, and then they saw a continuous mountain range at the end of the ice field. The peaks were majestic, and the mountains were dark black. The rocks looked like black iron, and the atmosphere was cold and terrifying. There was no grass or animals growing there.
"Ah, it's the Extreme Yin Mountains! This beast actually led us here, does he intend to perish together with us?"
Upon seeing the black mountain range ahead, Yin Jili immediately stopped in his tracks, a look of horror on his face.
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing the words "Extreme Yin Mountains".
Ling Yuan had previously said that to get to the Imperial Elephant Prison, one had to pass through two unavoidable dangerous places. Besides the Sea of No Wind and Snow, the other dangerous place was the Extreme Yin Mountain Range.
Ye Chen looked at the Extreme Yin Mountain Range ahead. Even before he got close to the range, he felt an ancient, desolate, and violent aura of resentment sweeping over him.
The entire mountain range was isolated from all sunlight, deathly still, and shrouded in chaotic mist, as if it were a giant graveyard that had buried countless ages and countless powerful beings.
Upon seeing the Frost Serpent flee into the Extreme Yin Mountains, Shuang Qianxue trembled and said:
"That beast has gone mad! How did it manage to escape into the Extreme Yin Mountains?"
When the Extreme Yin Mountains were mentioned, Shuang Qianxue's tone was full of apprehension and solemnity.
Yin Jili's face darkened completely, and he said, "Your Highness, we're in big trouble."
"This Extreme Yin Mountain Range is ten times more dangerous than the Windless Snow Sea. It contains the remains of Emperor Jintian and is filled with resentment. How can we possibly get in?"
"Di Jintian?"
Upon hearing this name, Ye Chen vaguely sensed a subtle connection between it and the moth and the Heaven-Slaying Ancestor.
"Are you from the Wild Hunt path?" Ye Chen looked at Shuang Qianxue and asked.
Shuang Qianxue nodded and said, "It is indeed the supreme ancestor of the Wild Hunt path! His remains were buried here, his laws of order remained in the Windless Snow Sea, and the remaining endless violent resentment is all here."
"This is troublesome. That beast has escaped into the Extreme Yin Mountains. If we go in to hunt it down, we'll probably be attacked by Di Jintian's resentment."
Ye Chen was also inexplicably horrified. Ling Yuan had previously mentioned the ancient secrets, including the three progenitors of the Wild Hunt path, with one of them being the most respected, and the Heaven-Slaying Ancestor and the Moth both serving under him.
At that time, Ling Yuan never dared to call him by his name directly, which shows how terrifying that ancestor was.
At this moment, Ye Chen finally learned the name of that ancestor from Yin Jili and Shuang Qianxue; it was "Di Jintian".
Upon hearing the name "Di Jintian," Ye Chen felt a thunderous roar in his mind.
In the darkness, a blurry figure, towering and immeasurably majestic, appeared in his mind.
Ye Chen saw a scene of ancient celestial secrets: Emperor Jintian stood in the primordial chaos before creation, above all paths, his gaze looking down upon all living beings, with an unparalleled spirit to overturn everything and reshape the universe.
He was free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and the constraints of rules. His lifelong pursuit was to burn away all the decaying and solidified old order in the world, shatter the ancient fetters, and then rebuild a brand new set of rules for the world with his own lineage.
This means burning down the old order and then establishing a new one!
Ye Chen sensed boundless ambition and heroic spirit from Di Jintian, a spirit that dared to "change the world"!
He is the original creator of order in the heavens and the source of the Great Dao of Order.
The order and lineage that Emperor Taiyi, one of the seventy-two pillar gods of later generations, governed was merely a secondary Great Dao born from the remnants of his Dao after his fall.
Boom boom—
An endless roar resounded deep within Ye Chen's mind. It was a resonance of will that transcended eternity, the lingering obsession of Emperor Jintian with the Great Dao. Vast, domineering, and resolute, it carried a terrifying power that could burn the heavens and destroy the earth, causing Ye Chen's soul to go numb and his blood to surge.
Ye Chen forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his body trembling slightly, and looked at Ling Yuan, asking in a deep voice, "How exactly did this Emperor Jintian Ancestor perish back then?"
He could hardly believe that such a great being had fallen.
Ling Yuan remained silent, not daring to utter a sound.
Shuang Qianxue shook her head and said, "The specific cause and effect have long been sealed by the dust of time, and no one knows."
"All I know is that Di Jintian's fall was related to the battle with the Great Heavenly Emperor back then."
"Now his shattered body and boundless resentment are buried in this extremely yin mountain range."
“This mountain range is filled with endless violence and ancient resentment; this is troublesome.”
Upon hearing this, the subordinates from the Ancient Kingdom of Yuyin immediately showed fear and whispered to Shuang Qianxue:
"Your Highness, shall we continue the pursuit?"
“This place is extremely dangerous. The Frost Serpent has already fled into the mountains. If we continue to hunt it and venture deeper into the heart of the mountains, the consequences will be unpredictable.”
Shuang Qianxue frowned, her gaze fixed on the dark and resentful Extreme Yin Mountains, lost in thought.
Then, she gritted her teeth, glanced at everyone, and said:
"Keep chasing! That beast hasn't gone far; if it's just on the outskirts, it won't be too dangerous."
"With the Lord of Reincarnation present, he should be able to suppress the resentment in the mountains."
"Me?" Ye Chen pointed to himself, his lips twitching slightly.
The mountain range is filled with resentment. He can indeed help suppress it by mobilizing the energy of the Yang chapter, but it will inevitably consume a lot of his own strength.
Shuang Qianxue said, "Yes, Lord of Reincarnation, it all depends on you!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen instantly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
He had no intention of vying for the pure Yin essence of the Frost Serpent. His sole purpose for this trip was to cross the Extreme Yin Mountains and head to the Imperial Prison to find the Mysterious Imperial Seal.
Currently, he is being relentlessly entangled by Shuang Qianxue and her group. Forcibly breaking away would only lead to a falling out and an immediate fight.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen remained expressionless and said:
"Fine, I'll help you, but you have to let me leave after it's done."
Ye Chen didn't expect Shuang Qianxue to let him go, nor would he entrust his fate to someone else.
He was thinking that he would wait until he entered the Extreme Yin Mountains before taking the opportunity to leave.
Shuang Qianxue said, "Very good, it's good that you agreed, let's set off!"
Without further delay, the group stepped into the territory of the Extreme Yin Mountains.
Ling Yuan led the Seven Cold Clan members at the front, as they were in the most dangerous situation and would be the first to be affected if anything happened to them.
Ye Chen, Shuang Qianxue, and Yin Jili walked in the middle, followed by the elite disciples of the Yuyin Ancient Kingdom.
Upon entering the Extreme Yin Mountains, one finds the surroundings shrouded in darkness, the air thick with resentment, decay, and violence, accompanied by a constant wailing of ghosts.
The earth was filled with the aura of corpses and malevolent energy, and vengeful spirits drifted about, wailing.
Ordinary cultivators who step into this place will have their Dao hearts eroded by resentment in no time, without even a powerful enemy needing to intervene.
"Such heavy resentment..."
Shuang Qianxue frowned slightly, wary: "The resentment here originates from Di Jintian's shattered body, and it's extremely powerful."
"Ugh, I can't breathe properly."
Shuang Qianxue clutched her chest, feeling suffocated. The surrounding resentment surged like a tide, making it difficult to breathe.
