Chapter 3588

Yun Ruge and Song Ruoyu originally thought that Ye Chen was simply worried about them, so he wanted to keep them close, but they never expected that Ye Chen actually wanted to bring them together to comprehend some kind of anomalous celestial phenomenon.

For cultivators, opportunities are the highest secrets; no one shares opportunities with others, and if one wants to exchange for opportunities from others, one must pay a huge price, just as they have in the Broken Clear Society these years—although they could obtain some cultivation resources, the price was to become Wu Feiyan's henchmen, even putting their lives in Wu Feiyan's hands; only then could they obtain the so-called opportunities from Wu Feiyan.

But Ye Chen never does such transactions.

Whether it is elixirs or cultivation opportunities, as long as it concerns his own people, he will not be stingy; if everyone comprehends together, they might even inspire each other.

Yun Ruge and Song Ruoyu felt grateful in their hearts, immediately stood up, knelt on one knee, and in unison thanked Ye Chen.

Ye Chen raised his hand and said: "Don't rush to thank me first; whether this phenomenon appears today or not, and if it does, whether it is useful to you, remains unknown for now; everything depends on everyone's opportunity and fortune; if it truly helps you, you can thank me later without delay."

After speaking, he immediately stood up and said: "The nights in the northern hemisphere are getting shorter and shorter; we must seize the time, let's set off immediately."

Helena was a bit at a loss, hurriedly asking: "Mr. Ye, can I go with you?"

Ye Chen said: "We might have to stay out in the ice and snow all night; your body definitely cannot withstand it, so you should stay here and rest early."

Helena was stunned; she, being close to the water, got the first chance to arrange her room together with Ye Chen's, but Ye Chen wants to stay out in the ice and snow all night—what meaning does her little thought have now?

But she also knows her own capabilities.

In this weather, if she goes out for a walk, she estimates she can at most last an hour; if she truly has to last a whole night, even if she doesn't freeze to death, she will at least fall seriously ill; she is not like Ye Chen, who has cultivation within him, so naturally she cannot endure it.

Thinking of this, she could only let out a light sigh and say: "Since Mr. Ye said so, then I will not slap my face to look fat."

After saying that, she looked toward Lin Wan'er and asked: "Miss Lin, are you also going?"

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, smiling and saying: "Go, I am not afraid of the cold."

Although Lin Wan'er is not a cultivator, she has taken the Eternal Youth Pill, so even Ye Chen's psychological suggestion has no effect on her; a little wind and cold naturally means nothing to her.

Helena did not expect that the four of them, upon arriving at the place, would all want to go out; thinking that tonight only she would be left to guard the villa, she felt very lost in her heart.

But even though she felt lost, she had no other choice, so she could only grit her teeth and say: "Then you must pay attention to safety..."

Ye Chen nodded, bade her farewell, and then brought the three women into the darkness, heading north all the way.

As the aurora season gradually drew to a close, the span and intensity of the aurora had diminished considerably compared to the depths of winter.

The four people walked in the snow for dozens of minutes before arriving directly beneath where the aurora appeared.

The aurora, primarily green, began from the ground and extended all the way to high altitude; under the influence of the magnetic field, it swayed in the air; if one only looked at the shape of the aurora, it resembled the visual effect of a long, misty wall furnace.

Ye Chen stood beneath the aurora, sitting cross-legged in the snow, and said to Yun Ruge and Song Ruoyu: "You two focus your attention on the aurora above your heads; if the aurora changes, you must remember every change in your hearts."

The two listened, feeling completely bewildered; in their view, the changes in the aurora had no pattern at all, and that constant, undulating fluctuation was myriad and ever-changing—how could they possibly remember it?

Song Ruoyu couldn't help but look toward Lin Wan'er beside her, pleading: "Miss Lin, if it's convenient, could you trouble yourself to use your phone to help record it? I'm afraid I might miss details when I look back."

Lin Wan'er smiled and nodded, while taking out her phone and saying with a smile: "Okay, Miss Song, rest assured."

Ye Chen, sitting cross-legged, continuously changed his hand gestures, performing the eight sets of hand seals he had first learned one by one.

Just as before, when these hand seals were first formed, the spiritual energy originally filling his body seemed as if a crack had suddenly been opened, and the spiritual energy flowed out at high speed.

Ye Chen dared not be lax; he had already grasped two Yuan-Nourishing Pills in his palm, waiting to take them if he could not endure it.

At this moment, in his sea of consciousness, a golden pagoda less than ten centimeters high suddenly emerged from his sea of consciousness and slowly rose to mid-air in his sea of consciousness.

That golden pagoda was exactly like the Four Directions Pagoda, just a miniature version of it; compared to it, it was more like a scaled-down model of the Four Directions Pagoda.

And at this moment, the spiritual energy in Ye Chen's body was continuously drawn from his sea of consciousness, being frantically absorbed by this golden pagoda.

However, Ye Chen himself could not feel the existence of this golden pagoda at all; he even felt that his body's abundant spiritual energy was entirely being lost in his sea of consciousness.

Ye Chen saw that he had already reached the brink of unbearable endurance, was about to swallow the pills to resist it head-on, when this golden pagoda suddenly flashed with a burst of light, illuminating his entire sea of consciousness in gold.

As the golden pagoda burst forth with a ray of golden light, the frantic loss of spiritual energy in Ye Chen's body finally stabilized, and the pagoda quickly sank into his sea of consciousness, disappearing without a trace.

Yun Ruge and Song Ruoyu, who were intently watching the sky, suddenly discovered that the aurora above their heads, which had originally been swaying chaotically like flames, suddenly changed its form.

The aurora transformed into a pair of giant hands, slowly moving in the sky!

Lin Wan'er also rejoiced greatly, hurriedly saying to Ye Chen: "Young Master, look quickly! The aurora has turned into hand seals!"

Ye Chen, who was nearly exhausted, immediately lifted his head and saw that the pair of giant hands was demonstrating the details of the first hand seal.

Ye Chen only looked for a few seconds before determining that this hand seal was not any of the eight he had seen before.

Thinking about it, this time the hand seal had become a new one!

He was overjoyed in his heart; although he still did not know what effect this hand seal had, or whether it would be even more troublesome than the previous set, but combining this with the fact that he had changed locations this time, he could at least confirm one thing: the mysterious power influencing the aurora was within his own body!

But he really could not figure out what, within his body, was absorbing his spiritual energy and influencing the aurora in the sky.

This time, he had deliberately concealed it from Lin Wan'er, leaving the ring she gave him in his luggage.

The ring was not carried on his person, so the artifact influencing the aurora must have some other explanation.

At this moment, the hand seal in mid-air underwent another change.

Ye Chen dared not delay; he memorized every key point of the hand seal in his heart, and this time, the hand seal was far more complex than the previous one—not only was each hand seal completed with both hands together, but the details of the movements had also been greatly enhanced.

The four people focused all their attention on the hand seal; the hand seal in the sky continued for four hours,

and what Ye Chen did not expect was that the number of hand seals formed by the aurora this time was also double that of the previous time—namely, sixteen hand seals in total.

After the sixteen hand seals had all been demonstrated once, the aurora in the sky returned to its usual chaotic swaying state; Ye Chen dared not delay, immediately closed his eyes, and in his mind went through the sixteen hand seals one by one; then his hands slightly lifted, and he began to attempt to re-enact the sixteen hand seals in the void.

Soon, as the hand seals were repeatedly re-enacted, Ye Chen suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon: his spiritual energy was no longer being absorbed by the hand seal; on the contrary, after completing the hand seal, his body's spiritual energy actually increased slightly out of nowhere!
