The Battling Monk looked at Ye Chen's transformation, his expression complicated, and said, "Young Master, please cooperate with me, I need to extract a thread of your life essence origin mark, this matter can't be delayed any longer."

Ye Chen forced himself to regain a trace of rationality and said, "Master of Wine, one last question, what is the cost of my mother's action this time?"

The Battling Monk was silent for a while before speaking, "This time, the young lady sacrificed a great deal of her life to the Heavenly Dao in exchange for a way for her avatar to escape the Celestial Dao Cage.

The avatar can last for a month.

The young lady's life span is only three years left, and during these three years... the punishment from the Heavenly Dao will never cease!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue for Ye Chen!

He didn't even know what his mother looked like, the only impression being that vague figure he saw in the Origin World.

Yet his mother... had sacrificed so much for him!

Ye Chen suddenly understood his mother's pains completely!

The last trace of resentment left in his heart disappeared without a trace.

Ye Chen's face showed intense pain, but the blood-red color in his eyes slowly receded, and his gaze became incomparably firm.

"Master of Wine, please tell my mother, within three years, I will definitely go to the Celestial Burial Sea to free her from the Celestial Dao Cage. Even if it means fighting against the Heavenly Dao, I must reclaim her lost lifespan!"

The Battling Monk nodded and said, "I will definitely relay these words to the young lady."

"Master of Wine, begin."

"Alright, Young Master, forgive me." As the Battling Monk's words fell, his right hand suddenly reached for Ye Chen's Celestial Spirit.

Ye Chen did not resist at all, allowing the power of the Battling Monk to penetrate his body.

Moments later.

The Battling Monk withdrew his hand, and Ye Chen's entire body softened, almost collapsing to the ground.

Then.

The Battling Monk lifted his hand and waved, a pure energy surged into Ye Chen's body.

"Young Master, I need to leave the Eastern Region for a period of time. In my absence, be sure to stay safe."

Ye Chen saluted the Battling Monk and said, "During this time, thank you, Master of Wine, for secretly protecting me!"

"Young Master, take care!"

With these words, the Battling Monk's figure flashed and rushed out through a crack in the space.

Half an hour later, the Battling Monk appeared in front of Yun Ying.

"Young lady, this is the life essence origin mark of the young master." The Battling Monk handed over a thread of pure energy to Yun Ying.

A gentle aura surged from Yun Ying's hand, enveloping Ye Chen's life essence origin mark.

"Young lady, I have told the young master the truth…"

Yun Ying's expression tensed.

The Battling Monk said, "The young master has grown up, he is responsible, and the young master said that within at most three years, he will definitely go to the Celestial Burial Sea to free you from the Celestial Dao Cage. He intends to snatch life from the heavens to extend your lifespan!"

A gentle and comforting smile appeared on Yun Ying's face, along with deep concern in her eyes.

As a mother, naturally, she hopes her child can achieve something, to become a true man.

But as a mother, how could she be willing for her child to take risks for her?

"Let's go. On the way, tell me more about Chen'er."

......

Another half day passed.

Ye Chen passed through the storm area that had calmed down and left the Flame Desert.

Looking back, the sky over the Flame Desert was still shattered.

The battle between the Mad Old Man and the Heavenly Dao has been over for almost twenty days, yet the residual power of the battle still has such terrifying effects.

Even though the Mad Old Man is so powerful, he was not a match for the Heavenly Dao.

Ye Chen thought of himself!

His future self is destined to battle the Heavenly Dao, and time is running out for him.

To defeat the Heavenly Dao, one must be even stronger than the Mad Old Man.

The road ahead is rugged and difficult.

But Ye Chen does not fear!

No matter how difficult, he must break through!

After leaving the edge of the Flame Desert, Ye Chen found a deserted place. Now, he does not plan to return to the True Martial Hall but wants to go to Tianyi once.

When setting off for the Flame Desert, Ye Chen learned that the Demon Race and warriors from the three major alien races at Soul-breaking Gorge had retreated together to Tianyi.

The journey to the Flame Desert took nearly half a month, and the adventure in the Flame Desert was another twenty days, so the Demon Race must have already reached Tianyi by now.

It's been two months since he last left Tianyi!

He needs to go in and see what is going on with Tianyi.

Then, Ye Chen communicated with the Spatial Brand in his palm, opened the passage to Tianyi, and with a flash, slipped in.

After arriving at Tianyi, Ye Chen put on a blood-colored mask, determined the direction with the Martial Arts Celestial Eye, and found the place where the Human Race was stationed.

As he just passed through Tianyi's spatial barrier, He Taiyuan's figure flashed in front of Ye Chen and without saying a word, He Taiyuan's power enveloped Ye Chen's body, bringing Ye Chen to his room.

"Elder He." Ye Chen greeted and directly handed over several Storage Rings.

In these Storage Rings, there were the two million low-grade primal stones the Qi Family had lost to him last time, weapons from the Lv Family, and the medicinal resources Ye Chen took from the Bright Hall's treasure vault.

He Taiyuan checked the Storage Rings and was utterly shocked.

Ye Chen was only a Martial Artist in the Mortal Transformation Realm, yet he constantly sent cultivation resources to Tianyi, and these resources combined would bankrupt several Saint Realm powerhouses!

He Taiyuan did not hesitate, knowing full well that the Human Race needed these resources.

Having brought back eighteen hundred wounded soldiers last time, the resources Ye Chen brought previously had all been used up except for the remaining primal stones; now, they were indeed in urgent need.

"Asura, on behalf of everyone here, I thank you." He Taiyuan solemnly saluted.

Ye Chen quickly supported Elder He's hands and said, "Elder He, please do not, I'm also part of the Human Race. Since I've come to Tianyi, I should fight with you against the alien races to the end."

Previously, Ye Chen hadn't thought much—he just wanted to fight the alien races!

But now, his mindset had changed slightly.

He needs power!

This power isn't simply personal strength!

In the outer world, the True Martial Hall can back him, but there are too many constraints in how they operate.

But the human race in Tianyi, if freed, would surely become his most potent support!

If he could conquer this Tianyi, the human race here would become a mighty force, as they have connections spanning across the entire Cangzhou, covering every identity!

Then, Ye Chen directly asked, "Elder He, I heard that the Demon Race has also entered this Tianyi, have you gathered any information?"

Elder He nodded solemnly and said, "In this hunt, the Demon Race will also send a group of elites, and many geniuses from the three major alien races have come out, mostly targeting you.

Asura, I suggest that you do not participate in this hunt."

"The geniuses from the three major alien races are coming out mainly for me, if I don't participate, the risk will shift to others."

Ye Chen said, "And the Demon Race is coming, probably intending to ally with the three major alien races, so I must participate in this hunt!

No matter how many geniuses they send, I'll kill them all!

As for the alliance between the Demon Race and the three major alien races, it also must be stopped, otherwise, not only will there be trouble here at Tianyi, but the outside world will have even more significant problems!"

"The alliance between the Demon Race and the three major alien races here can no longer be stopped... Asura, do you have any plans?" He Taiyuan was extremely curious upon seeing Ye Chen's confident tone.

Ye Chen nodded, and in the next instant, released his Celestial Demon Qi within, making his aura indistinguishable from the Demon Race.

He Taiyuan was dumbfounded.

Ye Chen said, "I have some special means to disguise myself as the Demon Race."

Ye Chen then explained the plan to He Taiyuan, who was full of excitement, believing the plan to be feasible!

Ye Chen retracted the Celestial Demon Qi emanating from his body, then looked at He Taiyuan, and said, "Elder He, I have another question."

"What is it?"

Ye Chen said, "What is the relationship between Elder He and Shi Fengchun of the Cangzhou True Martial Hall?"
