568: Chapter 568

Qin Yun sat on the stone platform, the phantom image of the Heaven Sealing Seal in his palm having just dissipated.

The remnant soul inside the ring was silent for a long time before softly uttering a sentence.

"Before the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were created, there was once a Great Emperor with the title of Yun."

Qin Yun raised his eyes, looking toward the Void Realm in front of him, his expression devoid of fluctuation.

"There are many figures in ancient history."

"I have only seen some records in an Incomplete Manual."

"I know the name of the one you speak of, but I do not know him."

The remnant soul shuddered violently, his voice dropping instantly, carrying an urgency that had been suppressed for too long.

"Stop pretending."

"Others might not recognize it, but I do."

"Myriad Things Born."

"Primordial Chaos Domain."

"Light of the Epoch."

"These three techniques all come from the same person."

The atmosphere in the secret chamber changed instantly.

Chen Yang's voice trembled, yet it grew increasingly heavy.

"In this world, apart from Emperor Yun, there is no second person capable of using these three techniques to such a degree."

"Especially the Light of the Epoch."

"That is his technique."

"It is also his Dao."

By the end, it was as if he could no longer suppress it; the tone of feigned maturity completely vanished.

"Brother Yun, is it really you..."

As these words fell.

Qin Yun finally fell silent.

It was not that he did not know how to respond.

It was that these three words had not been heard for too long.

Brother Yun.

There were not many people who would call him that.

Those who could recognize the three Supreme techniques and call him by that title were even fewer.

Many people flashed through Qin Yun's mind.

Figures swept past, only to be suppressed by him again.

In the end, only one name remained.

He stared at the ancient ring, his voice showing fluctuation.

"Chen Yang?"

The remnant soul in the ring shuddered violently.

The next moment, a faint figure emerged.

That Face had aged significantly and was severely damaged, but the outline remained.

"It is I."

"It really is I."

"You are still alive."

The secret chamber fell silent once more.

Qin Yun looked at him, not saying anything else immediately, just exhaling a breath very lightly.

After a moment, Qin Yun finally spoke.

"Tell me."

"How did you end up like this over these years?"

Chen Yang nodded, his expression slowly steadying.

"After you left, I kept watch."

"Cloud Palace, Cloud Heaven Palace, the Yu Family—I was supporting them all."

"At that time, everyone thought you would not return, but I did not believe it."

"I always felt that you would be like you were back then, returning from a dead end once again."

He did not speak quickly.

Yet every word was heavy.

"So I could not die."

"If I died, those who followed you, those old subordinates, those who still remembered you, would truly scatter."

Chen Yang paused for a moment before continuing.

"Later, I cultivated all the way to the peak of the Supreme."

"Even Great Emperors had to give me some Face when they saw me."

"But no matter how strong, one cannot withstand the limits of Lifespan."

"I used the immortal medicine four times, living against the heavens four times, dragging myself back from the edge of the coffin."

"It was not to fight for anything."

"It was just to wait."

Qin Yun listened quietly without interrupting.

Chen Yang raised his head, his gaze somewhat vacant.

"Later, the heavens changed."

"The Boundary Sea disappeared, the two worlds merged into one, the Law was completed, and my broken path was continued."

"I took that opportunity to step into the Great Emperor realm in one go."

"Soon after, I became a giant among Emperors, and then reached the peak."

"Later on, I obtained an ancient Cultivation Technique."

"I forcibly merged the two Physiques of Sun and Moon into one body."

"Relying on the coexistence of the two Physiques, I entered the Heavenly Emperor realm."

"Afterward, I continued to push that ancient Cultivation Technique, fusing the two Physiques together to become a Chaos Body."

"With that Chaos Body, I passed the Heavenly Emperor realm and stepped into the Pseudo-Immortal realm."

"Among the Nine Great Heavenly Continents, I was the first person to walk beyond the Heavenly Emperor realm."

Speaking to this point, there was not much pride on his Face.

Only a faint weariness.

"I thought that by reaching this step, I would have the qualifications to find the answer you left behind."

"I also thought that the old subordinates could finally be truly stable."

"But once a person walks too high, those around them start to become unclean."

Qin Yun looked at him.

"You took an apprentice?"

Chen Yang gave a bitter smile.

"I did."

"That child had great talent; I really raised him as my successor."

"Cultivation Technique, ancient methods, resources—I held nothing back."

"Later, he also entered the Pseudo-Immortal realm."

"I originally thought that if one day I really could not hold on, at least there would be someone to take over those old things."

He paused, his eyes slowly turning cold.

"But he discovered the truth about the Chaos Body from somewhere."

"My Chaos Body is not a true Chaos Body."

"It is only an Acquired Chaos Body forcibly pieced together using ancient methods; some also call it a fake Chaos Body."

"This Physique is strong enough to let me step into the Pseudo-Immortal realm."

"But going any further is difficult."

"If one wants to truly achieve Immortal Ascension, one must complete the most core step."

Chen Yang raised his hand and pointed at his own heart.

"And that step, the answer he heard, was—my Chaos Body Origin."

"He wanted to strip away my Origin, fuse it into his own body, and thereby achieve a true Chaos Body."

"He alone did not have the courage, nor the ability."

"So he joined forces with a few Pseudo-Immortals who achieved Dao later to set a trap."

"I could defend against external enemies, but I did not defend against the knife behind my back."

"In that battle, I lost."

"My Physical Body was shattered, my Chaos Origin was severely damaged, and only a wisp of remnant soul escaped."

"If I had not run into you later, this remnant soul would have dissipated long ago."

"Over these years, I have been surviving by relying on the power of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body within your body."

"Otherwise, I would not even have the chance to speak."

Speaking to this point, Chen Yang was silent for a while.

When he spoke again, his voice was much lower.

"There is also Gu Zhan."

"He was also implicated because of me."

Qin Yun's gaze flickered slightly.

"Is he still alive?"

"He is alive."

Chen Yang nodded.

"When I had my accident back then, he stood on my side and forcibly intervened to block for me for a while."

"Later, that group of people liquidated all the old associates, and he was directly suppressed."

"As for where exactly he is suppressed, I cannot be completely certain yet; I only know he is still alive, and his aura has not been severed."

"Over these years, the person I have failed the most is not myself."

"It is him."

After saying this, Chen Yang lowered his head.

That remnant soul appeared even fainter.

Qin Yun looked at him for a long time before slowly rising and walking to his front.

He just reached out his hand and gently pressed it in front of Chen Yang's phantom image.

The power of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body flowed out slowly, stabilizing that wisp of remnant soul.

"As long as the remnant soul is still there, he can be saved."

"As long as Gu Zhan is not dead, he can be brought back."

Chen Yang looked up.

Qin Yun's expression was calm, and his tone was very steady.

"Next, there are two things."

"First, find a carrier for you, replenish your Origin, and reshape your Physical Body."

"Second, find out where Gu Zhan is suppressed and fish him out."

"As for those few who stabbed from behind."

He paused.

The Heaven Sealing Seal in his palm appeared again, then dissipated immediately.

"This debt will be settled slowly in the future."

Chen Yang stared at him blankly.

After a long time, he let out a low laugh.

But in that laughter, there was an uncontrollable sourness.

"I knew it."

"As long as you are still alive, these matters have not come to an end."

Qin Yun withdrew his hand and sat down again.

His mind had already begun to sort out the path ahead.

To reshape Chen Yang's Physical Body, he needed top-tier Materials capable of bearing the Chaos Origin, as well as sufficiently dense Life Origin and items for Physical Body reconstruction.

As for Gu Zhan's side, he must first find clues.

These two things were not easy.

But at least, the path was already there.

Outside the secret chamber, the sky was gradually darkening.

Inside the secret chamber, the azure pagoda vibrated slightly, and the Immortal Scripture slowly circulated.

Qin Yun closed his eyes, his voice very light, yet landing extremely steadily.

"First, nourish the soul."

"Then, find a Physical Body."

"Then, go save people."

Chen Yang did not speak again.

The remnant soul retreated back into the ring, but this time, he was much quieter.

Because he knew.

From this moment on, many old matters were no longer just old matters.
