Chapter 12832 Familiar Aura
The altar was paved with pure white jade, and on the stone table in front, offerings such as thousand-year-old snow ginseng and night-blooming spirit flowers were neatly arranged, exuding spiritual energy.
Surrounding the offerings were two boxes, one gold and one silver.
The elders and tribesmen stood on either side of the altar, their expressions respectful and solemn. No one dared to utter a sound, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Ling Yuan slowly walked up to the altar, his gaze falling on the golden box. His expression was devout and solemn as he slowly spoke: "This golden box contains the seeds of the Dao lineage left behind by my ancestor, Lord Hanye. It carries the Dao lineage of the Hai hour Sichen and is the foundation of my Seven Cold Clan."
"We only hope that our ancestors will bless us and help us to have a smooth journey."
As he spoke, Ling Yuan picked up the golden box with both hands, raised it above his head, bowed three times to the statue of Lord Hanye, then put the golden box down, picked up the silver box, and opened it with a click.
Inside the silver box was a small, exquisite, and translucent model of an ice flying boat, only about half the size of a palm.
Ling Yuan took out the flying boat and infused it with spiritual energy.
hum-
A deep hum resounded throughout the altar, and the small flying boat grew larger in the wind, instantly transforming into a warship a hundred feet in size, carved from ice.
Upon seeing it, Ye Chen thought to himself that this must be the treasure of the Seven Cold Clan, the Frost Domain Sky Ship.
"Alright, Lord of Reincarnation, let's board the ship. I'll lead the way."
Ling Yuan smiled and narrowed his eyes, putting the gold and silver boxes into his pocket before leaping onto the celestial ship.
This action immediately caused a commotion among all the clansmen present.
"Clan leader, are you going to take the Daoist Golden Box with you? The seeds of our ancestors' Daoist lineage must not leave the clan!"
Several elderly clan elders' expressions changed drastically, and they stepped forward to dissuade them, their faces filled with anxiety and unease.
The golden box containing the seed of the Cold Night Divine Lord's lineage was of extraordinary value, and the fact that Ling Yuan was carrying it with him shocked everyone.
Once the Golden Box of Daoist Lineage is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the foundation of the Seven Cold Clan will be completely severed.
Ling Yuan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said, "I know the risks involved, but this time we are going deep into the Chaotic Cold Land. The road ahead is dangerous. Without the protection of the seeds of our ancestral lineage, we simply cannot withstand the Chaotic Cold."
"You don't need to worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Second Elder, you take a few skilled men with you, and the rest of you can stay behind in the tribe and wait for my return."
The crowd exchanged glances, but they knew that the Chaotic Cold Land was indeed dangerous, and it was understandable that Ling Yuan wanted to bring the Dao Seed for self-defense.
At that moment, the members of the Seven Cold Clan had no choice but to obey the order. The Second Elder led several burly men onto the ship, while the rest remained in the tribe.
"Lord of Reincarnation, please." Ling Yuan extended an invitation to Ye Chen once again.
Looking at the swirling snow and wind in the distance, Ye Chen knew that this journey would be fraught with danger, but now that things had come to this, there was no reason to back down. He nodded and leaped onto the deck of the Frost Domain Sky Ship.
Ling Yuan formed hand seals, activating the runes on the boat.
The next moment, the Frost Domain Sky Ship's protective shield was fully activated, and it slowly rose into the air, breaking through the swirling snow and flying towards the Chaotic Frost Land.
From the Seven Cold Tribes to the Chaotic Cold Lands, a journey of several hundred miles, the Sky Ship traveled at full speed and soon entered the territory of the Chaotic Cold Lands.
Ling Yuan stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the boundless wind, snow, and cold mist ahead, and said to Ye Chen, "Lord of Reincarnation, this Chaotic Cold Land is vast and boundless, filled with countless perilous places. Our destination this time is the deepest Emperor Elephant Prison."
"There are two perilous places on this journey, where there is no way to avoid them. The first is the Windless Snow Sea ahead, and the second is the Extreme Yin Mountain Range deeper inside. Both places are fraught with danger, teeming with ferocious beasts, and filled with the most intense chaotic and malevolent energy. We must not be careless."
Ye Chen murmured softly, "The windless snow sea, the extremely yin mountain range..."
He gazed ahead and saw a gloomy sky with swirling snowflakes. Below lay a frigid ocean, its deep blue waters dotted with white glaciers—a truly magnificent sight.
There is no daylight, no changing seasons, only eternally falling snow, with a gray, chaotic sky pressing down overhead, lifeless and gloomy.
"We've arrived at the Sea of Snow Without Wind. The laws of heaven and earth are in chaos here, making it difficult to fly. We need to go down."
When Ling Yuan saw that the Sky Boat had reached the edge of the Windless Snow Sea, his expression became solemn.
The surrounding area was filled with swirling snow and wind, the laws of heaven and earth were in complete disarray, and a dense chaotic energy was brewing in the sky.
In such a harsh environment, if a ship were to travel in the sky, the entire ship would likely be swept into the turbulent currents of chaotic wind and snow.
At this moment, Ling Yuan controlled the Zehan Domain Sky Ship, which slowly descended and finally landed steadily on the surface of the windless snow sea.
Ye Chen stood at the bow of the ship, looked up and gazed in all directions, and instantly understood why this place was called the Sea of Snow Without Wind.
Above his head, the sky was filled with chaotic winds and snow, yet the vast, deep blue sea remained eerily calm and still.
While the outside world was battered by blizzards, this sea area remained calm and undisturbed.
The sea surface was as smooth as a mirror, without even a ripple, as if it formed a barrier that isolated the world, keeping all the wind and snow at bay.
"Hmm? The aura of order?"
Looking at the mirror-like seawater, Ye Chen vaguely sensed an aura of order and law.
While the wind and snow raged wildly in the sky, the surface of this windless snow sea was perfectly calm, as if there were an orderly law behind it!
And order is the law that Emperor Taiyi, one of the seventy-two pillar gods, governs!
Emperor Taiyi is Taiyi Star among the Seven Star Gods, the God of Order. He once prophesied the twelve heroes who would recreate the world.
Ye Chen never expected that he could detect the aura of the laws of order in this windless, snowy sea.
Beneath the calm sea surface, Ye Chen could vaguely see the shadows of many giant creatures swimming around.
Clearly, the calm is only on the surface; countless ferocious sea monsters lurk beneath the surface.
That is not order, but the chaotic laws of the Chaotic Cold Land itself, which breed ferocious creatures!
Chaos and order intertwine in this windless, snowy sea.
"Lord of Reincarnation, what have you discerned?"
Ling Yuan stepped forward and asked.
Ye Chen pointed to the surface of the Windless Snow Sea and said, "There seems to be an aura of order and law here. Could it be that Emperor Taiyi also participated in that great battle back then?"
Ling Yuan said, "In the Chaos Era, the Seventy-Two Pillar Gods had not yet been born."
Ye Chen realized and said, "That's true."
He then asked in confusion, "If it's not Emperor Taiyi, then who is it? This windless snow sea seems to have the lingering light of some ancient deity."
Ling Yuan hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself; he clearly knew something.
Ye Chen hurriedly said, "Elder Ling, if you know anything, please enlighten me."
He just wanted to know more secrets.
Ling Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Mentioning the events of that year may trigger heavenly secrets and bring disaster."
"Well, I'll just give you a brief overview. Back then, the God of Order wasn't Emperor Taiyi, but the Great Ancestor of the Wild Hunt Path. The Wild Hunt Path has three progenitors, with the Great Ancestor being the most revered."
"That ancestor... I dare not say his name, but I know that the Heaven-Slaying Ancestor and the Moth were his subordinates."
"The great battle in the Chaotic Cold Lands back then must have involved the Mad Hunter Ancestor, who may have even perished."
"His seed of the Order lineage was later obtained by Tai Chu, and gave birth to the Pillar God Emperor Taiyi. Emperor Taiyi can be said to be the second generation of the God of Order."
"The word 'order' is the key to fighting against chaos. The so-called Taiyi is a perfect and flawless order that combines Yin and Yang. It is the third realm in the realm of laws, where the physical body and the soul are fused together, and it is also called 'Taiyi'."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was immediately shaken.
Ling Yuan's words clearly involve a very ancient and very important cause and effect.
Ye Chen had met the Heaven-Slaying Ancestor before.
But he didn't expect that there was someone above the Ancestor Zhantian. The three progenitors of the Wild Hunt path were not parallel; the one in the lead was called the "High Ancestor".
Ling Yuan dared not utter the name of this great-grandfather.
Looking at the Windless Snow Sea, Ling Yuan said, "Lord of Reincarnation, this Windless Snow Sea does indeed contain the laws left behind by that Mad Hunter Ancestor, so it has a subtle order."
"But this order is only on the surface; beneath the sea lies a monstrous mass of chaos. We must not be careless."
As he spoke, Ling Yuan accelerated the Frosty Domain Sky Ship at full speed, wanting to leave the Windless Snow Sea as soon as possible. He also activated the illusion array on the ship's hull, and a layer of cold mist covered the ship to prevent it from being targeted by ferocious beasts.
Ye Chen wasn't afraid of any ferocious beasts; he only wanted to inquire about those ancient secrets. But judging from Ling Yuan's expression, he clearly didn't want to say anything more.
Ye Chen had no choice but to suppress his emotions and stand silently at the bow of the ship.
The second elder of the Seven Cold Clan and several clansmen were on high alert, gripping their longswords and their auras tense.
Having been stationed on the frigid border for many years, they know better than anyone the terror of the Windless Snow Sea. Throughout history, countless powerful individuals who have ventured into this place have perished at sea, their remains never to be found.
The spaceship sped along, carving a furrow in the deep blue sea.
Before long, the once lifeless sea suddenly began to change.
Boom!
A deep rumble exploded from the depths of the sea, the seawater surged wildly, and a powerful and fierce savage aura soared into the sky, instantly locking onto the entire Frost Domain Sky Ship.
"Roar--"
The enormous roar of the ferocious beast made people's heads buzz.
"Ugh!"
Ling Yuan's expression changed: "In the end, we still triggered the secrets of heaven and brought trouble upon ourselves!"
He had already activated the illusion array, which should have been able to deceive the ferocious beasts in the sea, but his discussion with Ye Chen about ancient secrets had triggered a heavenly secret, and the sea beasts had still managed to lock onto his aura.
A colossal creature burst through the sea and appeared with a roar.
It was a chaotic cold whale, its size beyond imagination, its skin a deep ink color, and it was constantly immersed in the cold sea and chaotic turbid air, with a layer of eerie light condensing on its surface.
It had a huge head, blood-red eyes, and a massive mouth that split open to its neck, making it quite eerie.
"Waaah—"
The Chaos Frost Whale let out a long roar, the sound waves sweeping in all directions and stirring up thousands of waves. The protective array of the Frost Domain Sky Ship also vibrated violently.
The next instant, the massive body of the Chaos Frost Whale suddenly charged forward, its giant tail sweeping across with terrifying force capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas, slamming heavily onto the deck of the Sky Ship.
"Protect the Skyship!"
The Second Elder shouted loudly, taking the lead in activating all his spiritual energy. The Cold Dao Law surged, transforming into several thick ice walls that blocked his way.
The other members of the Seven Cold Clan attacked simultaneously, their cold energy intertwining to reinforce their defenses layer by layer.
However, the power of this sea beast was too terrifying; its attack, imbued with chaotic and malevolent energy, far exceeded the limits of what the people could withstand.
Click—!
The ice wall shattered and exploded instantly, sending ice shards flying everywhere. The remaining immense force continued to crush them, forcing the Seven Cold Clan members to retreat repeatedly, their blood churning, utterly powerless to resist.
"Damn it! Ancestors, protect us!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ling Yuan immediately took out the golden box and was about to open it, wanting to use the power of the ancestral lineage seed to fight against this chaotic cold whale.
"Elder, there's no need for that."
Seeing this, Ye Chen immediately stepped forward to stop Ling Yuan: "I'll take care of it."
Ye Chen looked at the chaotic cold whale, and calmly uttered a single word.
The character “出”.
The "Exit" technique was unleashed, its radiance vast and boundless, as if all magical powers and supernatural abilities flowed from it.
Ling Yuan and the rest of the Seven Cold Clan were stunned upon seeing this.
When the Chaos Frost Whale saw the word "out", its eyes also showed shock.
"Spatial Law, banish chaos!"
Ye Chen infused his spiritual energy and activated the incantation, and instantly, patterns of spatial laws appeared in the void.
That was the aura of the spatial deity.
Ye Chen had already inherited the Divine Path of Space, but the spatial phenomena he manifested at this moment were purer, more condensed, and more profound and vast than ever before.
This is because the "Chu" technique can be used to deduce all methods, and the methods derived from the "Chu" technique are closer to the essence of the Great Dao.
Ye Chen combined his previous spatial divine path with the "Exit" technique, and then innovated upon it. The newly created spatial method far surpassed the previous ones.
The spatial energy gathered and quickly formed a huge black spatial vortex.
woohoo-
The black vortex spun, emitting a powerful suction force, and in a single moment, it sucked the Chaos Frost Whale into the vortex and teleported it elsewhere.
Uh...
After the Chaos Frost Whale was sent away, the black vortex also dissipated.
The rampaging and violent Chaos Frost Whale has vanished without a trace.
Ling Yuan and the rest of the Seven Cold Clan members were stunned, unable to believe their eyes.
Ling Yuan asked in a trembling voice, "Lord of Reincarnation, what... what kind of divine power is this?"
Ye Chen laughed and said, "With a little spatial teleportation skill, I have already teleported that great evil to the chaotic world."
The world can be divided into two layers. The first layer is the knowable, known world, where everything follows a well-ordered pattern.
The other layer is a chaotic world, unknowable, invisible, untouchable, and indescribable.
The chaotic world is also a world that humans cannot reach. Once you enter the chaos, you will be assimilated and become a part of the chaos, losing everything.
Ye Chen has mastered the Law and the Emergence Techniques, and his understanding of the laws of chaos is much deeper than before.
He had just tested his skills by attempting to teleport the Chaos Frost Whale to a chaotic and unknown world, and it worked perfectly, leaving him quite satisfied.
This is because he has mastered the "Exit" technique, which has improved his strength in many aspects. If it were before, he would never have been able to do it.
Moreover, using spatial techniques to banish living beings to a chaotic and unknown world is only effective against violent and ferocious beasts that are still in a state of chaos and lack intelligence. If used against humans, the enemy will naturally be wary and resistant, using their own various laws and powers to fight back. They will not be banished by Ye Chen so easily.
Even so, Ling Yuan and the others were still incredibly shocked and impressed by Ye Chen's superb skills.
The Lord of Reincarnation's combat power was indeed well-deserved; his methods far exceeded their expectations.
Ye Chen easily dealt with the ferocious deep-sea beast.
Just as Ye Chen was about to tell everyone to continue on their way, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a very faint gray mist flashing by on the distant sea.
The gray mist was ethereal and fleeting, mixed with the frost and snow, and ordinary cultivators could not detect it at all, but Ye Chen's mind was shaken.
That gray fog instantly reminded him of someone.
That is, the Black Queen Mother!
