Origin

  Yì chén stood still two meters away from the six people, Fǎ Tǎ Dé ào and others did not approach, but instead set up a circle around them, intentionally or unintentionally blocking some passing travelers.

  Yi Chen took a deep breath and carefully examined each of them. One Yang Zi, One Xin Zi, One Qing Zi, One Jing Zi, One Jing Zi, and One Kong Zi. Yi Chen was slightly surprised to discover that although the bodies of One Yang Zi and One Xin Zi were in the 28 Constellation Circulation state, they were different from his own recent breakthrough. Their circulation had condensed a lot, with an invisible suction force enveloping their figures, clearly indicating that after breaking through the Zhou Tian Star Force, their True Yuan Force had become even more refined, reaching the next level of the 28 Constellation Realm. As for One Qing Zi and the others, they were on the same level as Yi Chen's current state, with no one being stronger than the others by even a little bit.

  Yi Chen smiled bitterly, after all, he had wasted four years of time. Previously, when he broke through to the Zhoutian Star Force and then stepped into the 28 Mansion Four Symbol Star Force realm again, these six junior brothers had just formed the most primitive star force cycle. This time, they were far left behind.

  Yi Chen stretched out his hand and smiled faintly: "Long time no see, congratulations to you both."

  Yiyangzi took a big step forward, tightly grasping Yichen's hand and calling out in a low voice: "Shixiong." The youngest, Yijingsi and Yikongzi, were on the verge of tears, seeing that their decade-long secluded cultivation on the mountain could not hold back their excitement at reuniting with Yichen.

  Yi Chen withdrew his hand, and with a helpless shrug of his shoulders said: "I'm not a disciple of the Tian Xing Sect now, don't call me Shixiong anymore, lest those old guys get angry again. How have you all been lately?"

  Yiyangzi nodded: "We're all good, Shixiong, how have you been lately?"

  Yi Chen flicked his mouth and pointed at Fatadi and the others: "Look, I'm still doing pretty well. I was born with a bad temper, even Yama wouldn't bother to look for me, so I can stay in the mortal world and cause more trouble... Master, no, is Tianxian Daozhang okay?"

  Kong Zi gritted his teeth: "Master has been punished and sent to the back mountain, facing the wall for a hundred years to reflect... damn it."

  Yi Chen's face turned iron blue, and his hatred towards Tian Xinzi and several other senior members of the sect increased inexplicably. He cursed viciously: "Tian Xinzi, that old bastard, damn him."

  Yi Yangzi and the others looked at Yi Chen in shock as he uttered a series of sharp words towards Tian Xinzi, and then turned to Tian Fengzi and other senior members of the sect with warm greetings. Jingzi hastily said: "Senior brother, it's not their fault, not even Master's fault that you were driven out of the sect."

  Yi Chen's expression changed, and he grabbed Yi Yangzi with one hand, saying in a cold voice: "What's going on? Tell me."

  One Yangzi bit his teeth and said quickly: "After Master knocked you unconscious, the master's brother had already agreed to only punish you by making you face the wall for ten years. However, Fa Tian Lao Dao of the Daode Sect led several disciples to rush into the mountain gate, coincidentally discovering that you were unconscious at the entrance of the main hall. He asked Master Tianxin if anything had happened in our Tiān Xīng Sect. In front of outsiders, Master Tianxin could only endure the pain and agree to expel you from the sect to maintain the prestige of our ancestors."

  "Qingzi said fiercely: 'That Fa Tian Laozong, damn it, he even deliberately said many unpleasant words to provoke Shifu. Shifu got angry and hit him with 49 fragmented star sword energy, almost killing one of Fa Tian's junior brothers. As a result, Fa Tian threatened to issue a Taishang Dao decree to ask all sects to judge the case, and as a result, Shifu was punished to face the wall in the back mountain... Shixiong was also abolished from his cultivation and expelled from the sect.'"

  Yi Chen's face was eerily calm as he said lightly, "Originally, Shibo wasn't planning to expel me, at most, the punishment would be heavier. It was Fa Tian Lao Dao who kept bringing up the Tian Xing Sect's family rules, forcing Shibo to drive me away, right?" Once he understood the whole situation, Yi Chen's anger towards Tian Xinzi immediately dissipated, and all his resentment was redirected towards the Dao De Sect.

  Yiyangzi didn't dare to deceive this senior brother whom he had respected since childhood, and nodded repeatedly. The other five junior brothers also nodded in anger without speaking.

  Yi Chen smiled and gently patted the shoulders of his six junior brothers, saying: "Look, you're being naughty again. It must be that most outgoing Tian Fengzi Shibo brought you out, right? He definitely didn't let you come see me, but you snuck out anyway. This won't do, Yiyang, except for me, you're the biggest one. Don't be so impulsive in the future, okay? Hehe, Daode Sect, Daode Sect... You all go back now, I know what to do myself."

  They didn't suspect at all why Yidun was so confident, from the faith he had cultivated since childhood, Yidun was that omnipotent senior brother who always took care of himself, what couldn't he do? They nodded lightly.

  "Alright, let's go. According to the sect's rules, you shouldn't be seeing me anyway. Don't let outsiders point fingers at our Tianxing Sect and say we don't follow the rules. Don't make it difficult for Master Tianfeng either. You all should leave now and do what you're supposed to do."

  One Yangzi and the others looked at Yi Chen with a hint of attachment, Yi Chen coldly snorted: "The path of cultivating immortality is vast and endless, where does one have so much time for romantic entanglements? Although we don't advocate for cutting off emotions and desires, neither should we be overly indulgent in the countless feelings in our hearts. If we can't cut them off, how can we cultivate? Let's go, let's go, let's go."

  Yiyangzi and his men suddenly turned around and walked away, then suddenly froze in place.

  Tian Fengzi walked up to Yi Chen and said, "Yi Chen, you've grown up a bit, haha, really grown up. At least you know not to be too overbearing towards your junior brothers, and have learned to discipline them... As a cultivator, one doesn't seek to cut off emotions or desires, but it's also true that one can't be overly sentimental. The two words 'clear and calm' are indeed difficult to grasp."

  Fatah and his group suddenly discovered that an old man had appeared in their circle, this strange feeling made them feel uncomfortable to death, they didn't know where Tianfengzi came from.

  Tian Fengzi took a closer look at Yi Chen and smiled, saying: "Hmmm, you've grown taller and stronger, looks like things have been going well for you lately."

  Yi Chen was about to respond when Tian Fengzi's face suddenly changed: "How, how is it possible? Tian Xinzi Shixiong personally broke through your entire body's true yuan and destroyed all of your cultivation. You...you actually reached the Zhoutian Star Power realm again, and are even close to breaking through to the 28th Mansion of the Second Cycle of the Four Symbol Stars' power level. How is this possible?"

  Yi Chen's face changed, earlier Yi Yang Zi and the others were too excited to notice the deep cultivation on their senior brother's body, but Tian Feng Zi was different, his heart was like a bright mirror, plus his cultivation was much deeper than Yi Chen's, how could he hide his physical condition from him? Yi Yang Zi and the others also secretly took a look at Yi Chen and found the crystal clear star core slowly rotating in his body.

  Tian Fengzi quickly scanned the people around him, and Yi Chen's heart cried out in alarm. Indeed, he saw that Fei Li, Jie Si Te, Fei Er, and Ge Er all had a circulation of star power similar to the Six Dayan Stars on their bodies. Tian Fengzi's face was already dark and terrifying. The cultivation on Yi Chen's body could be said to be Tian Xinzi intentionally letting him off easy, deceiving Fa Tian Lao Dao and the others, but being expelled from the Tian Xing Sect, Yi Chen had actually passed on the Tian Xing Sect's heart secret, how could it not shock Tian Fengzi's mind, almost making him take action immediately?

  Yi Chenfeng quickly said: "I am no longer a person of the Tianxing Sect, and the Tianxing Sect's house rules have no effect on me."

  Tian Fengzi was taken aback, and Yi Chen continued to say: "Tian Xinzi Shibo, you are wrong. Tian Xindao has ruined my cultivation, I have already atoned for the sin of mistakenly entering the forbidden land, and the power I possess now is what I have re-cultivated through nine deaths and one life, risking the destruction of my physical body and divine soul. The Tianxing Sect no longer has the right to take it back. As for others, although I swore not to leak the Tianxing Sect's heart method, otherwise I would be punished by heaven, but I didn't say that if I leaked the heart method, people from the Tianxing Sect could clean me up. Do you think the Tianxing Sect can represent the heavens?"

  A burst of absurdity left Tianfengzi stunned, and when it came to eloquence, how could he outdo Yicun, who had risen from the lowest rungs of society to his current position? Tianfengzi felt that Yicun's explanation seemed correct, but wasn't he obviously wrong? This time, although Yicun swore that if the secret got out, heavenly disaster would strike, but since it hadn't arrived yet, could they just let Yicun get away with it?

  Yi Chen's heart was also secretly bitter, he only knew that the people of Dao De Zong had arrived in the mortal world, relying on official power to increase their own sect's influence. Who would have thought that Tian Xing Zong had also sent someone? In order to gain from the sniper attack on the British financial market and avoid it by hiding in China, it seemed like an extremely foolish idea.

  Tian Feng's face changed color repeatedly, what to do with him was a problem. The current Yi Chen was not a member of the sect, if he took action against him himself, it would probably spread out later and affect the reputation of Tian Xing Sect...

  Tianfengzi stood still for three to four minutes, but for Yichun it felt like three to five years. What was Tianfengzi thinking? What did he want to do with himself? If he really insisted on ruining himself again, he probably wouldn't be able to escape even if he ran. Yichun knew deeply about Tianfengzi's strength, after all, the other man was over 500 years old, how could he compare?

  Tian Fengzi let out a long sigh, looked at Yi Chen with one eye and said: "I will return to the mountain immediately to ask for instructions from the master. Yangzi, you all stay in Beijing and continue to do what you should be doing... Remember, the fate between people will always come to an end one day, forcing fate is not good for everyone." After finishing speaking, Tian Fengzi turned around and left, gradually his figure became blurry in the air, strangely, the people nearby except Yi Chen and the other seven, including Fei Li Jie Si Te and others did not notice anything unusual.

  Yi Chen smiled bitterly, nodded at the six former junior brothers and said: "Take care, I'm leaving." He waved goodbye to Fata De and others, walked out of the station with a heavy heart, got on the car team sent by Purofu, and rushed towards Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

  Yiyangzi and his men also sighed and returned to Sun Kezong's camp without anything good to say.

  Yi Chen felt extremely oppressed in his heart. Since he had already exposed his current situation in front of the people of this sect, it was useless to escape anywhere. He could only wait and see how Tian Xinzi would deal with him. Even if he escaped back to London, as long as the people of the Tian Xing Sect were determined to deal with him, he would still be captured, and there was no possibility of winning. Not to mention Tian Xinzi and the others, even if only Tian Fengzi's senior disciples took action, they could definitely defeat him with one move.

  He and Purov chatted for a while, had dinner accompanied by several officials from the Beijing Foreign Trade Department, and after returning to his room, Yi Chen gathered Feili and four others: "Did you see those seven people today?"

  Phil nodded: "A very strange seven people, six young ones are fine, but that old man... damn it, when did he come and when did he leave, we don't know at all, it's too scary. When he stood there, we couldn't perceive his existence at all."

  "They are people from my sect, my sect is called Tian Xing Zong, an ancient and powerful sect in China, extremely powerful, with powers beyond your imagination."

  "Now, I'll teach you all the oral secrets and mental methods of the Tianxing Sect that I've mastered. In case something unexpected happens to me, you must escape with your lives, no matter what. Don't be foolish and say things like 'I'll avenge you'. Remember, we're facing terrifying existences that have cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years, and they can crush us like ants with just one finger... Feili, don't interrupt, things may not be that bad, I'm just being cautious. After all, there's still some sentiment between me and the sect... If something unexpected happens to me, you escape, then focus on cultivating yourselves according to the oral secrets I've given you. In about two hundred years, you might gain a bit of self-preservation ability."

  Before Fei Li could burst into tears, Yi Chen had already slapped her face and said in a cold voice: "Fei Li, don't cry. Otherwise, I won't let you stay by my side." Fei Li hastily wiped away her tears and nodded with red eyes.

  Look at Phil, Goll and Jester with a gloomy face. Yi Chen said coldly: "Now, take a good look, remember it clearly."

  Yi Chen spread out his right palm, and with a wave of his left hand, the wind from his palm pressed down on the wall switch, turning off the house lights. He said to Feili and the others: "Remember, remember tightly, all the skills of the Tian Xing Sect, their power source is the stars in the universe, relying on their power, we can open up the source of our body's internal potential, ultimately reaching the highest state of heaven and man unity."

  In the center of Yī Chén's right palm, a tiny silver star slowly appeared, emitting strands of silver light. Yī Chén recalled himself at five years old, when Tiān Xiánzǐ sat on the meditation mat in his Daoist chamber, demonstrating this scene to him. Yī Chén put himself into Tiān Xiánzǐ's role and softly said: "The universe, from nothingness comes existence, one yuan transforms, and from one, heaven, earth, and all things are derived."

  That silver star burst open, and a circle of blurry silver light floated above the palm of Yichun's hand. Yichun said quietly: "In the beginning of chaos, from one appeared the primordial energy needed for the proliferation of heaven and earth, to put it simply, these primordial energies eventually transformed into stars, sky, land, oceans, rivers, flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds, beasts, and finally humans."

  A silver halo began to rotate, constantly rotating, and gradually, in some thicker places inside, the halo began to gather together.

  "The Tianxing Sect's mental method is to imitate the universe's evolution from nothingness to existence, gradually forming a miniature universe within the human body, thereby grasping the most powerful force between heaven and earth... It's the scene of Yuanyuan's initial transformation, where stars have not yet appeared, but the embryonic form of galaxies has already begun."

  Those dense dots in the halo began to gather into bright small dots, and there were also circles of more subtle silver light bands around. Yī Chén explained: "Actually, what is called the six rays of starlight, twelve yuan zhen, twenty-eight suì dà sì xiàng star power boundary, is after we establish our initial true yuan cycle, absorb the power of the stars, simulate the operation of the galaxy... Because human strength is limited, we can't start by absorbing and simulating the trajectory of all the stars in the sky, so we can only do it step by step. Actually, the heart method of Tiān Xīng Zōng doesn't need to divide into so many boundaries, you reach it, you're done, there's no specific standard."

  A brilliant small universe had been formed, with concrete and delicate galaxies flowing along mysterious orbits, and the faint silver light illuminated the entire bedroom. Yī Chén smiled lightly: "Look, the universe has been formed, but in the end, the universe will return to nothingness." Under Yī Chén's control, the galaxies began to collide, shatter, and finally all the stars were absorbed into that tiny silver point.

  A captivating smile hung on Yi Chen's face: "One cycle, completed, and then, from the body that has already transformed, another new small universe bursts out again. You have truly embarked on the path of pursuing the Heavenly Way... But this is very difficult, extremely difficult. To complete the first cycle, it has already taken many Tian Xing Zong disciples hundreds of years... It's really very difficult..."

  Yi Chen demonstrated the changes in the universe while translating the incantation that Tian Xing Zong had grasped into English, using simple symbols that Fei Li and others could understand. Yi Chen was also sweating profusely, as it was indeed a mentally taxing task to use such a primitive language to explain such profound and subtle incantations.

  The east has already turned white, and Yidun finally completed the teaching of the oral formula. He sighed and said: "I haven't been in the sect for a long time, I only know all the oral formulas of the first big cycle, what to do after the second formation of the small universe, I haven't reached that realm yet, not even guessing... let alone the highest and deepest star classics recorded in our door. Of course, you have a great advantage over me, you are born with incredible powers that ordinary people can't imagine, you are the ones who truly suit cultivation."

  Yi Chen had a question that he didn't voice, why do most people with innate powers exist in the West? Why do people from the East have to rely on cultivation to possess similar powers? Why did the Western superhumans who initially held an advantage eventually fail to compete with Eastern cultivators? It's a strange phenomenon, but Yi Chen wasn't a scholar, so he didn't bother to think deeply about these questions. The supernatural communities of the East and West had no contact with each other, nobody knew what was going on in the other side, who would care about these issues? The Western Church and Dark Council were fighting fiercely, while Eastern cultivators and those monsters were also secretly plotting against each other, who had the leisure to worry about things outside their own territory?

  Yi Chen waved his hand and shooed away Feili and the others, saying: "I want to be alone for a while, you all go out and remember well what I told you."

  Fiona nodded, stood up with a hint of reluctance, and walked towards the door. Phil and Goll followed behind her. Jester stared at Yichen for half a day, his expression cold as ice, saying: "Boss, if you die, I absolutely won't avenge your death... However, after I'm done grieving, I will definitely teach those who killed you a lesson, because they killed my boss and didn't give Jester Von Douglas any face. I must teach them a lesson."

  Yi Chen's heart slightly moved upon hearing Jester's name. This kid seemed to be from the same hometown as Cain, really couldn't tell.

  Suddenly, Yi Chen shouted loudly: "All of you come back, there's something important I must tell you: under no circumstances can you practice your skills during the daytime."

  Fei Li was taken aback and asked Yi Chen: "Boss, why? It's strange, we've always practiced at night, not during the day..."

  He nodded lightly and said, "This is a problem I overlooked. The Tianxing Sect's cultivation method relies on the power of the stars in the sky to strengthen oneself. Logically speaking, the sun is also a star and should be helpful to us. However, don't forget that the sun is too close to us, so close that its stellar energy is unbearable for us. At night, when its stellar energy weakens, we can absorb the energy of the stars from all directions... I don't know what the consequences are of absorbing the true fire of the sun at noon, but my sect's ancestors said that a cultivator of my master's level tried to cultivate at noon and ended up being burned to death by the true fire. Remember this."

  Fei Li and the other three were stunned for half a day, they really didn't know what was different between daytime and nighttime when the sun was clearly there. Yi Chen also wanted to explain, but he himself didn't know why, so he just had to ignore it.

  He drove away the four people, and Yi Chen lay on his own bed, looking up at the sky and starting to count: "Damn it, Tianfengzi must have arrived at the mountain early too? No matter what, there should be a result now... Let's see if I'm dead or alive... If only my true yuan is broken, it seems that it can still be accepted. After all, since I can practice again once, I can practice twice again. However, Feili and the others are a bit more troublesome. But looking at our identities, Shibo and the others should not be too excessive, right?"

  His heart was like a drum, and he fell asleep with a heavy sleep. He had spent the whole night's energy, and he was really too tired.
