Volume 1: First Arrival at Longevity

  Chapter 171: Inversion of Heaven's Decree

  The blood energy that surged into the Sea of Life refined the Spiritual Energy Sea and then retreated from the Fountain of Life, after which it wildly surged towards every part of the body, bones, internal organs, meridians, and cells were rapidly strengthened, the Treasure Body shone brightly, golden light flowed.

  The third fountain of life surges!

  Finally broke through again, Ye Chen sighed, using a full 20 'Spirit Gathering Pills', for ordinary disciples this was simply extreme extravagance, not to mention Inner Court disciples, even Core Court disciples wouldn't be able to consume so many 'Spirit Gathering Pills' at once, perhaps only Han Qingxue had such a large scale.

  Ye Chen's heart was not stirred, the third time the life spring surged in his eyes, he still regarded it as an ant, and the road ahead was still long and distant.

  At this moment, in the sea of consciousness, Ye Chen saw that big gate again. The gate opened and a vast and ancient chaotic world appeared before his eyes. Immediately afterwards, a golden light shot out and transformed into countless characters that were imprinted on his consciousness.

  Inversely Chaotic Heaven-Exterminating Seal!

  Success! Ye Chen's heart was filled with joy, as he had been worried about not having a suitable cultivation method after entering the third stage of the Life Spring. After all, Han Qingxue's 'Red Dust Slashing Immortal Technique' was good, but it wasn't necessarily suitable for him to cultivate. Now that he had entered the third stage of the Life Spring, he immediately obtained the cultivation method of the Chaotic Bloodline Inheritance, which was the most suitable one!

  The "Inversely Chaotic Heavenly Decree" is a complete set of skills, consisting of five chapters, all of which are imprinted in Ye Chen's divine consciousness. However, only the first chapter, "Minghai", can be understood by Ye Chen, while the other four chapters, although also imprinted in his divine consciousness, cannot be understood due to the insufficient strength of his divine consciousness, as if they were sealed within his divine consciousness. Once his cultivation reaches a certain level, the seal will automatically lift, and he will be able to understand the next chapter's cultivation method.

  Ye Chen opened his eyes, and two golden beams shot out from them. He fell from the air, looking at the crumbling building with a sense of embarrassment. Han Qingxue had helped him cultivate this building, but it ended up in this state because of him.

  "Leaf Junior Brother."

  The sound of cold snow came from afar, Ye Chen suddenly turned around, a figure like an immortal appeared in the distance and stepped on air to come over, and in an instant landed right in front of Ye Chen.

  "Qingxue Shijie, this..." Ye Chen pointed to the collapsed building with a face full of apology, "You had me cultivate here, but I ended up turning it into ruins. I'm truly sorry."

  "It doesn't matter." Han Qingxue said lightly, her jade hand waved, and a touch of immortal light shot out. In an instant, countless talismans appeared in the collapsed building, as if they had suddenly emerged from thin air. Immediately after, the collapsed building miraculously restored itself to its original state.

  "In the Spiritual Spring Sacred Land, there are arrays everywhere. Even if a mountain peak collapses, it can be restored instantly." Han Qingxue explained to Ye Chen, who was looking at her with a surprised expression.

  "I see." Ye Chen nodded, the various methods of this powerful force were truly unheard of.

  "Brother, come with me."

  Han Qingxue didn't wait for Ye Chen to respond, reaching out to grab his arm and disappearing from the spot in an instant. The next moment, they reappeared in the center of the Snow Bamboo Forest.

  Sparkling snow bamboo, fluttering snowflakes, Ye Chen stood in the snow bamboo forest for a moment and was mesmerized by this beautiful scenery. Moreover, there was also an ethereal and elegant senior sister beside him.

  "Qingxue Shijie, why did you bring me here?" Ye Chen asked.

  "Passing on the technique 'Red Dust Beheading Immortal' to you!" Han Qingxue was still as cold and calm as ever, whether she was facing Ye Chen or anyone else. Her face was like a ancient well without any ripples, devoid of any emotional colors, forever quiet, quietly cold, yet not chilling.

  "Thank you, Senior Sister." Ye Chen shook his head and looked at Han Qingxue's eyes, which were as clear as ice and snow. "Senior Sister's 'Red Dust Severing Immortal Technique' is not suitable for me. Born in the mortal world, although I am no longer in the mortal world now, my heart still has worldly desires. How can I break free from the mortal world?"

  "Is the mortal world really worth being nostalgic about?" Han Qingxue said, but it seemed like she was asking herself. She didn't care about Ye Chen's gaze that was fixed on her, and her eyes and expression were calm and natural, indifferent to everything.

  "Of course." Ye Chen nodded, saying very affirmatively: "Coming from the mortal world, there are many entanglements. Those things cannot be forgotten and cannot be abandoned. This is human emotion. If one's emotions were truly extinguished, then even if they lived forever, what would be the point?"

  "Perhaps." Han Qingxue didn't confirm or deny, looking at Ye Chen and saying: "Everyone's path is different, their Dao is different, it can't be forced. Since Shidi has obtained the inheritance of Gongfa, then I won't force you to cultivate my 'Red Dust Slashing Immortal Technique' either."

  Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, his eyes slightly cold, and he said: "Sister, are you spying on my secrets?"

  Han Qingxue ignored Ye Chen's gaze, her voice as cold and detached as if carved from ice: "I know all your secrets. Remember, don't let anyone discover you're a Chaos Body in the future, or you'll become the target of everyone's arrows."

  Ye Chen's eyes trembled, how did Han Qingxue know that he had the Chaotic Bloodline? Was it something she saw?

  "Even if she saw my vigorous blood energy during cultivation, she wouldn't think that she herself is a Chaos Body...” Ye Chen thought to himself, his eyes fixed on Han Qingxue for a long time before saying, “Thank you, Senior Sister, for your kind intentions. I appreciate it.”

  Ye Chen knew that Han Qingxue didn't have any malicious intentions towards him. Since his secret had already been partially exposed to her, he might as well just accept it.

  "Reach out your hand."

  Ye Chen was taken aback and hesitated for a moment before extending his hand.

  Han Qingxue's left hand grasped Ye Chen's palm, while her right hand fingers rapidly slid across his palm. Each time they slid, a streak of white light shot out from the tip of her finger and onto Ye Chen's palm, forming mysterious symbols one by one.

  Han Qingxue's hand was cool to the touch, even a bit icy, but Ye Chen couldn't feel any chill. Her hand was soft and smooth, like exquisite jade, and in that instant of contact, Ye Chen felt a sense of quiet intimacy.

  "Qingxue Shijie, what is this?" Ye Chen looked at the palm of his hand where a white light symbol flowed and disappeared in an instant, asking with confusion.

  Han Qingxue looked at him and explained, "This is the 'Breaking Seal Symbol', I will carve it on your palm, and from then on you can freely enter Snow Bamboo Peak. Tomorrow I will leave this place, and if you encounter danger in the future, you can enter Snow Bamboo Peak to wait for my return."

  "Alright, I understand." Ye Chen nodded, feeling grateful towards Han Qingxue in his heart. This woman had helped him too much.

  Han Qingxue took out a set of clothes and a waist card from the storage bag and handed them to Ye Chen, "Take this and go directly to the outer courtyard. All the information about the outer courtyard and your arrangements are in the waist card. As long as you insert your divine sense into it, you can see everything."

  Ye Chen put his waist badge and clothes into the storage bag, Han Qingxue turned around and was about to leave.

  "Sister!"

  "What else is there?" Han Qingxue turned around and said expressionlessly.

  Ye Chen took a step forward, reached out and removed a few snowflakes from Han Qing's hair. "There are snowflakes in your hair."

  This action was so abrupt, even Ye Chen himself didn't know why he did it. When he felt embarrassed, he saw Han Qingxue staring at him coldly, but she said nothing and stepped into the air, disappearing from Ye Chen's sight in an instant.

  "What's wrong with me?" Ye Chen asked herself, looking at her own hand, feeling a bit desecrated by the cold and clear snow, but the aura emanating from her body made Ye Chen feel a desire to get close.

  "Isn't she angry?" Ye Chen shook his head. According to what he knew about Han Qingxue, she should be angry, but she wasn't. Although her eyes were cold and gave off a feeling of rejection from a thousand miles away, Ye Chen could sense that Han Qingxue hadn't gotten angry because of his actions. Maybe it was better to say that she was simply indifferent. She didn't get angry, nor did she show any emotional fluctuations.

  Han Qingxue left, her breath, her scent seemed to still linger in the air. Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with a flicker of thought, a palm-sized piece of silk cloth appeared in his hand, stained with bloodstains.

  Yan Xue's collar Yan Chen looked at this 'blood-stained collar', brought it to his nose and sniffed deeply, his face also becoming strange.

  "How similar it is, this fragrance seems to be somewhat similar to that of Qingxue Shizhi... and this aura also seems to have a bit of similarity..." Ye Chen muttered to himself, his mind filled with doubts.

  "Could it be that the owner of this robe had also cultivated the 'Red Dust Slashing Immortal Technique'? If so, then Qing Xue's inheritance would make sense, and their similar auras would be reasonable." Although he thought this, Ye Chen subconsciously felt that something wasn't quite right, and his doubts grew more numerous.

  "Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. Only when one is strong enough can they survive and unravel the mystery of all this." Ye Chen shook his head, hiding all his doubts in his heart, took a glance at the snow bamboo forest, and then inserted his divine sense into the waist card, memorizing all the information inside.

  The waist card contains the location of the outer courtyard, as well as the mountain peak to which one belongs in the outer courtyard. Moreover, there is a lot of information about the outer courtyard and even the inner courtyard, the Elite Hall, and the Core Courtyard.

  According to the information on the waist card, there are over 100 peaks in the outer courtyard, more than 10,000 disciples, and over 100 elders who are in charge of various affairs in the outer courtyard, including the Punishment Hall, the Dan Medicine Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, etc.

  He looked in the direction of the Outer Court and stepped into the air, soon leaving Snow Bamboo Peak behind as he flew towards the Outer Court.

  Half an hour later, Ye Chen finally entered the outer courtyard and reported to the Dean of Personnel according to the directions on his waist card, after which he went to Luo Yunfeng.

  Along the way, many outer courtyard disciples cast their eyes on Ye Chen, and some even spoke sarcastically.

  "Hey, isn't that the little kid who was almost wiped out by Li Shixiong the other day?"

  "Yeah, if it weren't for the woman's support, he would have been a pile of minced meat long ago. Hmph, offending our 'Second Generation' will be his death sentence. Just you wait and see, he'll have a good time... Ha ha ha!"

  Ye Chen coldly smiled. He didn't want to bother with these people, they were just small fries who had just entered the Secret Realm of Life Spring, if he was going to slaughter them, he would do it on a larger scale.

  Very soon, Ye Chen arrived at Luo Yunfeng. Luo Yunfeng was not small either, with a courtyard every few miles apart. Ye Chen stepped into the air and landed in a deserted small courtyard.
