Ye Chen's Fortuitous Encounter, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect!

This clone was the result of countless efforts and rare materials he used.

But now, everything is ruined.

As the clone perished, a powerful backlash swept through the soul connection.

Ye Chen felt that thirty or forty percent of the innate Dao body's origin within his body had been forcibly removed.

His cultivation level also plummeted from the newly stabilized mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm back to the early stage, and it was even somewhat unstable.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Ye Chen was filled with panic.

It wasn't just because of his declining strength, but also because he had witnessed Lu Yuan's terrifying power.

The Law of the Four Transformations Sword.

That's a power that only a Void Refinement Grandmaster can master.

If Lu Yuan were to come knocking on his door now, given his current severely injured and fallen state, he would have absolutely no chance of fighting back.

Are we to abandon the vast foundation of the Taiyi Sect and flee like stray dogs?

"I'm not reconciled."

Ye Chen gritted his teeth.

With trembling hands, he took out a crimson-gold token from his storage ring.

Heavenly Secret Golden Decree

He obtained this token from an ancient site years ago. With this token, he has escaped danger many times and obtained amazing opportunities.

"Senior Tianjizi, save me!"

Ye Chen infused his divine sense into the token, sending out a distress signal.

hum!

A crimson-gold light flowed across the token, projecting a blurry phantom image of an old man.

The phantom seemed to be shrouded in mist, its face obscured, only a pair of insightful eyes gleaming with a profound light.

It was none other than Tianjizi.

He glanced at Ye Chen's current miserable state, his eyes showing little emotion, as if he had already anticipated this scene.

"Your clone has been severed, your essence damaged, and your cultivation level has plummeted. Young friend Ye, it seems you suffered a crushing defeat at the Qingyun Sect." Tianjizi's voice was ethereal and devoid of any emotion.

"Senior, I know I was wrong." Ye Chen, who had lost all his former sect leader's authority, said urgently, "I beg you to enlighten me, senior. Is there any way to restore my innate Dao body's origin and bring my cultivation back to its peak? I'm worried that Lu Yuan won't let me go. If I don't recover my strength as soon as possible, I will surely die."

Tianjizi remained silent for a moment, his fingers gently calculating within his sleeve.

After a long while, a barely perceptible glint flashed in his eyes.

"There is a solution, of course."

"Really?" Ye Chen's eyes shone with hope.

"Not only will it restore you to your original state, but it can even help you advance further, potentially reaching the threshold of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm," Tianjizi said calmly. "However, the price for such a heaven-defying opportunity to change one's fate is considerable."

"Please feel free to ask if you need anything, senior."

"Ten drops of the original essence blood of the innate Dao body."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

His essence was already damaged, and taking out ten drops of his blood essence would only make matters worse.

But he knew that now was not the time to be stingy.

"it is good."

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and forced out ten drops of essence blood radiating a golden halo from his fingertips.

The array patterns on the Heavenly Secret Golden Token lit up, and a suction force came, directly swallowing the ten drops of essence blood and teleporting them to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, which was countless miles away.

After receiving the payment, Tianjizi stopped keeping everyone in suspense.

"Listen carefully, for right now, there is an extraordinary opportunity that has a profound connection to you."

"Su Yue Li, the sect leader of the He Huan Sect, has encountered a problem with her cultivation technique and urgently needs to find a way to break through. Tomorrow, she will secretly travel to the Wan Hun Palace, one of the six major sects of the demonic path, to conspire with the Wan Hun Palace Master to attack the cultivation world of Zhao Kingdom."

"However, what she didn't know was that the Lord of the Ten Thousand Souls Palace had long coveted her. He had secretly prepared a strange poison called the Love Silk Gu."

This poison is colorless and odorless, specifically designed to destroy a cultivator's Dao heart. Once afflicted, the victim will be consumed by lust and develop a deep, unwavering love for the one who can cure them.

"According to the divination, Su Yueli will realize she has been poisoned at the first moment and will desperately try to escape from the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls. However, she is poisoned and is being hunted down by the Lord of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls, so she will inevitably be in dire straits."

At this point, Tianjizi looked at Ye Chen, his tone carrying a hint of seduction.

"This is your chance. If you can intercept and rescue Su Yueli on the way and cure her poison, she will not only be devoted to you, but also..."

"Su Yueli is a Yuanling Body. If you can cultivate with her, you can borrow her pure Yin power to not only instantly replenish your lost innate Dao body essence, but also use the power of Yin and Yang harmony to allow you to return to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, or even advance further."

"At that time, you will not only have recovered your strength, but also have a Daoist partner at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling the entire Hehuan Sect. With this power, do you still have anything to fear from Lu Yuanhe?"

After hearing Tianjizi's words, Ye Chen's breathing became rapid and his heart pounded violently.

Dual cultivation restores one's original nature and grants control over the Hehuan Sect.

This is an incredible opportunity that brings multiple benefits.

But he quickly frowned, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

"Senior, Su Yueli is, after all, a demoness from the Demonic Sect, and a member of the Joyous Union Sect... she has probably cultivated with countless people already. If I were to...

He prided himself on being from a prestigious and upright family, and instinctively felt a certain aversion to women from places like the Hehuan Sect.

Tianjizi seemed to see through his thoughts and sneered.

"Foolish. Su Yueli cultivates the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness. In order to maintain her clear Dao heart, she has remained chaste to this day. To be able to remain untainted in a place like the Hehuan Sect is a testament to her exceptional character, which is rarely seen in the world."

"Moreover, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Do you want fame, or your life and the great path?"

Upon hearing this, the hesitation in Ye Chen's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a look of greed and determination.

Since it's clean, then it's fine.

Sleeping with a stunningly beautiful sect leader at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and regaining one's strength—only a fool wouldn't do such a good thing.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will seize this opportunity."

Ye Chen licked his lips, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

But then another question came to mind, and he looked troubled.

"However... that Lord of the Myriad Souls Palace is a veteran peak Nascent Soul expert. I am currently seriously injured and have not yet recovered. Even if I can save Su Yueli, I am afraid I will have difficulty escaping his pursuit."

The Lord of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls is skilled in soul attacks and uses unpredictable methods. Even in his prime, he was wary of him, let alone now.

Tianjizi seemed to have been prepared for this.

"It's alright. Now that I've taken your essence and blood, I will naturally lend you a hand."

"This is a fifth-grade high-quality Void Teleportation Talisman. Once activated, it can instantly teleport you millions of miles away. Moreover, the power of this talisman can briefly disrupt spatial fluctuations, making it difficult for even a Void Refinement expert to track you down in a short period of time."

"Consider this talisman a free gift."

The words fell.

The Heavenly Secret Golden Token flashed its light once more.

A talisman, entirely silver-white and adorned with intricate spatial runes, appeared out of thin air before Ye Chen.

Ye Chen grabbed the talisman, feeling the immense spatial power contained within it, and felt reassured.

"Thank you, senior."

He put away the talismans and tokens, and the dejection in his eyes vanished.

"Lu Yuan, you wait."

"Once I regain my strength and take control of the Hehuan Sect, I will make sure that your Qingyun Sect is wiped out and you kneel before me in repentance."

Ye Chen stood up, straightened his robes, and transformed into a faint streak of light, quietly leaving Taiyi Sect and heading towards the territory of the Six Demonic Sects.
