Although Lu Chen had some ideas about the curse on the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, such as using the bronze ring to activate the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar and break it, he ultimately did not tell Ye Fan.
Divine King Jiang using his own Divine Spirit Blood to erase the Innate Dao Diagram, break the curse, and sever the shackles would be a win-win outcome. There was no need for Lu Chen to create complications.

At that moment, Lu Chen told Ye Fan one thing: the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, one of the Seven Great Life Forbidden Zones, was where his fortune lay!
