Chapter 1321: The Immortal Wheel's Heavenly Curse, Open

Roar! Roar!

Dragon roars echoed from inside Ye Chen's yuan shen.

Out of the twelve dragons, ten had already dissipated. Only the Tai Xu White Dragon, representing the Tai Xu curse, and the Chi Mei Black Dragon, representing the Chi Mei curse, remained, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Although Ye Chen's wheel of reincarnation was in operation, it didn't interfere with the battle between the Chi Mei curse and the Tai Xu curse. Even the power of reincarnation couldn't resolve these two curses. Its only purpose was to let them fight it out.

The power of reincarnation could, however, block any other forces from interfering with this battle.

As they clashed, the Chi Mei curse and the Tai Xu curse weakened each other.

Long Wu breathed a slight sigh of relief. With only these two curses fighting and no other forces disrupting, Ye Chen's pressure was greatly reduced. Bolstered by the power of reincarnation supporting his yuan shen, the battle platform became much more stable.

Amidst the chaos, Ye Chen's consciousness gradually cleared. He could see, internally, the Chi Mei curse and the Tai Xu curse still clinging to his heart platform. All he had to do now was wait for both curses to dissipate.

This was a protracted war.

From the beginning of the battle between the Tai Xu curse and the Chi Mei curse, Ye Chen had already endured for three hours.

By the fourth hour, the dragon forms of the two curses underwent drastic changes.

Upon closer inspection, both the Chi Mei Black Dragon and the Tai Xu White Dragon had become translucent. They were no longer as ferocious as before, and the curse power they carried was extremely weakened.

He had endured it!

Long Wu finally felt a weight lifted from his heart. Both curses were now weak and could no longer cause major trouble.

However, at this very moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Ye Chen's self-sealed Xian Lun Eye unexpectedly unsealed itself. The Xian Lun mark in its pupil began to rotate, generating a domineering, powerful, and mysterious force.

Subsequently, the weakened Chi Mei Black Dragon and Tai Xu White Dragon were forcefully erased by the power emanating from the Xian Eye. The curse forces carried by the Chi Mei and Tai Xu were actually absorbed by the Xian Eye.

This...!

Long Wu was stunned, completely unsure of what was happening.

Ye Chen was equally stunned, having no idea what had just occurred. He had no clue that the Xian Lun Eye would unseal itself and harbor such a strange power, capable of absorbing curses as nourishment.

Xian Lun Tian Zhou, activate!

As the two stood in shock, a vague voice seemed to echo from the void, ethereal and distant, as if from a remote ancient era. It carried an air of authority and mystery, making it unclear who was speaking.

In an instant, both the Chi Mei Black Dragon and the Tai Xu White Dragon vanished, their curse forces turning into nourishment for the Xian Eye.

With the dissipation of the Chi Mei Black Dragon and the Tai Xu White Dragon, the Chi Mei curse mark and the Tai Xu curse mark on Ye Chen's forehead faded away. A new, powerful force emerged within his Xian Eye.

Ye Chen's yuan shen returned to its place, his body enveloped in immortal light with various profound phenomena manifesting around him.

This time, misfortune had truly turned into fortune. The terrifying entities that appeared not only failed to devour him but also triggered the various powers within his body, forcing the wheel of reincarnation to protect him and resolve the crisis.

Furthermore, as the Chi Mei curse and the Tai Xu curse battled to mutual exhaustion, the Xian Eye benefited as an opportunist, devouring the curse forces and becoming the key to unlocking the Xian Lun Tian Zhou. The forbidden technique emerged accordingly.

Long Wu clicked his tongue in amazement, utterly shocked, staring at the meditating Ye Chen as if he were a monster.

He had every reason to be shocked, for Ye Chen had broken taboos yet again. Not of immortal clan bloodline and possessing only one Six Paths Xian Eye, he had successively unlocked Xian Lun Tian Zhao, Xian Lun Tian Dao, Xian Lun Tian Sheng, and now Xian Lun Tian Zhou. Of the nine forbidden techniques of Xian Lun, he had unlocked four.

A gentle breeze blew, and he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was calm and profound, especially his Xian Lun left eye, which radiated a mysterious power that even he, its master, could not fully comprehend.

"Impressive!"

Long Wu approached, grinning and clicking his tongue in admiration.

"Facts prove that character is important."

Ye Chen stood up, speaking with deep meaning.

"This act is still pretty convincing."

Long Wu stroked his chin, speaking earnestly.

"Let's test the power of Xian Lun Tian Zhou first."

Ye Chen activated his Xian Lun left eye, targeting a nearby ancient tree. Anything with a spirit could be cursed, and using a large tree for the experiment was ideal.

"Tian Zhou."

As Ye Chen uttered the command, the pupil power of his Xian Eye spread out, causing the space to tremble.

The ancient tree nearby shuddered slightly, and an ancient mark appeared on its trunk, instantly merging into the tree. The tree began to change: both the trunk and leaves withered visibly, until it turned into a pile of ashes.

Long Wu watched in astonishment, witnessing Xian Lun Tian Zhou for the first time. Its power was indeed no exaggeration.

Ye Chen staggered on the spot, his face paling, with fresh blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "Tian Zhao consumes lifespan, Tian Dao consumes essence, Tian Sheng consumes origin, and this Tian Zhou consumes yuan shen. Its backlash is even stronger than Tian Zhao. I really underestimated the Xian Lun forbidden techniques."

"Powerful divine abilities always come with powerful backlash."

Long Wu sighed lightly, placing his hand on Ye Chen's shoulder and channeling dragon soul power. "Hurting the enemy by a thousand means harming yourself by eight hundred. It's best to use it sparingly."

"And as for Tian Zhao, I won't use it against enemies anymore."

Ye Chen shook his head with a smile. "Who knows how many races have cursed the Six Paths Xian Lun Eye? I don't want to invite more terrifying curses because of it."

"You won't learn without suffering."

Long Wu withdrew his hand and turned to leave the mountain peak. "You rest for now. I'll go contact the Tian Ling family and return to see you off."

"Idiot, big idiot."

As soon as Long Wu left the mountain peak, he heard shouts and curses from outside.

It was Qi Wang, still fuming over being thrown off the mountain by Long Wu earlier. Seeing Long Wu emerge, he yelled at the top of his lungs—true to form as Qi Wang, his curses were boldly unrestrained.

Long Wu ignored him completely, having no time for chatter with that stubborn donkey, and headed straight to the family ancestral hall.

Qi Wang, feeling unfulfilled, stopped cursing and trotted up the mountain peak with his head shaking.

But no sooner had he arrived than he was kicked flying again—this time by Ye Chen—followed by another boldly unrestrained shout:

"Go eat crap, all of you!"

Ye Chen ignored it, reinforcing the barrier and releasing Xiao Feng and Fu Ling from the cauldron.

The two had awakened and were in good condition, but as soon as they were freed, they stood together, summoning their terrifying killing swords and eyeing Ye Chen warily.

"Where is this? Who are you?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."

Ye Chen grinned.

"Good person?"

Xiao Feng and Fu Ling stepped back, tightening their grip on their swords. Ye Chen just didn't look like a decent fellow, and his smile was anything but normal.

"What's with those expressions?"

Seeing their continued wariness, Ye Chen couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Without further explanation, he raised his hand and released immortal light, which flew toward their foreheads.

"You—"

Xiao Feng and Fu Ling's expressions changed as they tried to block the immortal light, but it was strangely elusive. It directly entered their foreheads.

In the next moment, their killing swords dropped from their hands, and they clutched their heads in unison.

Then came cries of pain, their divine seas buzzing as if about to explode, their minds in turmoil.

Ye Chen pulled out a wine flask and found a comfortable spot to sit, quietly waiting for the reincarnated souls to settle.

After some time, Xiao Feng and Fu Ling's bodies stopped trembling. The last traces of pain and confusion in their eyes faded, replaced by tears as they stared blankly at the young man before them.

"Ye Chen?"

They spoke in unison, their voices hoarse and laden with the weight of ages.

Ye Chen smiled and stood up. Without many words, he summoned his divine sense, wrapping up all the events of recent years and sending them into their divine seas—one by one, everything they wanted to know.

Tears streamed down their faces as they watched the familiar figures in their divine seas, sobbing uncontrollably.

The six paths of reincarnation were like a dream.

Before waking, she had been resting on Old Man Zhuge's shoulder, whispering her last words of love in the mortal world, while he stood at the gates of Nan Chu, guarding the final inch of land for Great Chu and its people.

After waking, lifetimes had passed, with two hundred years gone by. Even as supreme experts in their previous lives, they struggled to accept this ancient illusion—it was too ethereal.

Night gradually darkened.

On the mountain peak, the sobs faded. The three stood like statues, each holding a wine flask and gazing silently at the stars, as if peering through endless years to see their homeland.

The reincarnated people of Great Chu arrived, over two thousand of them. The scent of wine filled the air, and the atmosphere grew lively again.

Watching these familiar people from their homeland, Xiao Feng smiled with a touch of weariness and took a swig of wine, turning to Ye Chen.

"After reincarnating through past and present lives, with two hundred years passed, I wonder if my armor is still intact."

"As Tian Ting Xiao Feng, you never removed your armor—your nephew knows that well."

Ye Chen laughed, waving his hand to produce a set of armor, still stained with undried blood from Xiao Feng's previous life.

"Always ready for the battlefield."

Xiao Feng laughed heartily. After two hundred years, putting on the armor again, he truly resembled a peerless general, his sturdy frame exuding an aura that could swallow mountains and rivers.

"Fu Ling senior, your Wan Hua Sword."

Ye Chen waved his hand again, presenting a divine sword to Fu Ling.

"Thank you."

Fu Ling smiled softly, gently stroking it. This was the sword she had used in her previous life, sealed by Ye Chen all this time, still marked with her old blood and the patina of years.

"Actually, I'm curious to know what your relationship is in this life. You're not the legendary lovers, are you?"

Ye Chen cleared his throat and coughed lightly, glancing at Xiao Feng and Fu Ling beside him.

"Don't tease."

Xiao Feng smiled immediately, glancing at Fu Ling.

"We're brother and sister."

"That's a relief."

Ye Chen grinned.

"Otherwise, Zhuge Yu would be in an awkward spot."

"Have you found him?"

Fu Ling turned her head, her eyes like rippling water, filled with hope.

"Not yet."

Ye Chen shook his head gently, then smiled reassuringly.
