Chapter 579: Chapter 400: Selling Devouring Heaven Fruit!_1
"Thank you!"
Xuanqing cupped his hands together, expressed his gratitude, and then stepped into the Scripture Pavilion.
…
Though it was called a 'pavilion',
it actually had little to do with an 'attic'.
The moment he stepped inside, the view that met his eyes suddenly opened up; this so-called Scripture Pavilion was actually composed of an entire Great Thousand Worlds.
The scenes within this Great Thousand Worlds greatly astonished him.
"So… Cultivation Techniques actually look like this!"
Xuanqing's eyes widened as he felt he'd gained new insight.
In the eyes of most, no matter how advanced a cultivation technique was, it would still resemble a book, or at most, something like a jade slip.
But in the Ancient God Clan's Scripture Pavilion, the form of the cultivation techniques stored within was entirely different.
The images before his eyes…
were numerous 'Formations' each occupying an incredibly vast area, and within each formation, an Illusory Shadow sat cross-legged.
"They're not books or jade slips. The Ancient God Clan's Cultivation Techniques are actually incarnations left behind by powerhouses!"
Xuanqing murmured softly to himself.
What's more…
These incarnations, which were only used to pass on the cultivation techniques, each gave him a feeling of 'threat'.
Meaning… with his current strength, he was probably still no match for these incarnations that existed just to pass on cultivation techniques.
"Taiji Divine Might Technique… Price: Five hundred Contribution Points or 5000 Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones?"
Xuanqing's gaze turned to a Formation close to him.
At its entrance stood a stone stele, which had some simple introductions to the technique and the required Contribution Points listed on it.
He had originally thought that coming to the Scripture Pavilion and revealing his identity would suffice to borrow the "Pantheon's Nine Transformations" left by Pangu.
Yet he hadn't expected the techniques here to be in such a form and that one would need Contribution Points to learn them…
He was aware of this.
Any member of the Ancient God Clan could go to the 'Task Hall', take on tasks, and earn Contribution Points upon completion.
"Five hundred Contribution Points, or five thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones?"
"Calculating this way, does one Contribution Point equate to ten Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones?"
Xuanqing pondered inwardly.
If he did another conversion, according to the prices of Chaos Crystal Stones in the Game Mall, did the cost of this "Taiji Divine Might Technique" require him to slay five thousand Chaos Immortals?
After being tempered by the Thunder Tribulation of Law, his current strength allowed him to easily defeat those Demon Gods without resorting to self-destruction tactics.
"With my current strength, if I were to encounter those Demon Gods outside the Primordial World again, it would be a slaughter as easy as butchering chickens," thought Xuanqing to himself.
Then…
He furrowed his brows as he pondered another issue.
It was no longer a matter of whether he was strong enough, the key was where could he find such an abundance of Demon Gods for him to slay?
However…
His goal for visiting the Scripture Pavilion was not the "Taiji Divine Might Technique", but the "Pantheon's Nine Transformations" left by Pangu.
First, he needed to locate the "Pantheon's Nine Transformations". What if Pantheon's Nine Transformations wasn't as expensive?
Therefore… bypassing the Formation of the Taiji Divine Might Technique, he continued to delve deeper inside.
…
Following what Pangu had previously told him in the Primordial World, he kept searching towards the East…
He did not know how long he walked.
Finally…
A Formation, equally vast, appeared before him.
At the entrance of the Formation, there was a stone stele with the inscription:
"Pantheon's Nine Transformations, each transformation as grand as heaven, create worlds with Divine Power, nourish from the worlds and complete the Nine Transformations!"
"Price: 2000 Contribution Points or 20000 Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones… Four times more expensive than the previous 'Taiji Divine Might Technique'!"
Xuanqing silently pondered.
However…
There's no such thing as a free lunch, and good things don't come cheap. The hefty fee signified that Pangu's technique had its extraordinary aspects.
"Two thousand Contribution Points, or twenty thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones, it seems… I need to earn some cultivation resources first!"
Xuanqing murmured lightly to himself.
Speaking of which…
Ever since he established the Taiji Hall in the Real World and the Taichu Dojo in the Primordial World, he had never worried about cultivation resources.
"First, I'll go to the Ancient Wilderness City to see if I can sell some items to gather these twenty thousand crystals."
"If that doesn't work out, then I'll have to take on tasks," Xuanqing deliberated.
For him, selling items would definitely be a quicker route than taking on tasks from the Task Hall.
After another glance at the Formation housing the "Pantheon's Nine Transformations,"
Xuanqing headed towards the exit.
…
Just as he was about to reach the door,
suddenly!
A unique bookshelf appeared before him. Unlike the other Formation demonstrations of cultivation techniques, this shelf was lined with hundreds of densely packed… cuboid-shaped jade slips!
Marked on the shelf were two large characters… Free!!
"Free!"
Xuanqing's eyes lit up.
Well, well.
It turned out that the Scripture Pavilion also had things that were free of charge. Since it didn't cost anything, would it not be a loss not to take a look?
So…
He stepped up to the front of the shelf and his gaze shifted towards the jade slips on it.
He saw that each cuboid jade slip was marked, for instance: 'Northern Galaxy Domain Map,' 'North Region Oddities Chronicle,' 'Basic Knowledge Detailed Explanation,' 'North Region Treasure Catalog'… and so on.
"No wonder they're free, they all turn out to be experienced knowledge!"
Xuanqing suddenly realized.
Compared to those other techniques that required the construction of a Formation and the creation of an Incarnation to be passed down,
these on the shelf were called 'lifestyle experience,' carrying little energy, thus they were simple to create by directly copying the information into the jade slips.

After browsing casually, he found that all these items were quite useful to him.
Given that!
Whoosh~
Xuanqing swung his right hand and collected all the cubic jade slips from the bookshelf into his Game Backpack, intending to study them slowly after returning.
Immediately after.
Something miraculous happened.
All the cubic jade slips that Xuanqing had just taken from the shelf appeared on it once again, with their positions unchanged.
"Hmm?"
Xuanqing paused for a moment, then he opened his own Game Backpack and found that the cubic jade slips he had just taken were still in there, which set his mind at ease.
His God Soul emerged from his body and observed the situation.
"So that's how it is~"
Xuanqing suddenly realized.
It turned out that this bookshelf was also a spatial object that contained a vast space inside, filled with enough jade slips to make a small mountain.
The bookshelf functioned like a vending machine, automatically replenishing the jade slips when any were taken.
…
Exiting the Scripture Pavilion.
"Master Xuanqing, you've finished studying so quickly?" The guard at the entrance, seeing Xuanqing leaving, couldn't help but look somewhat surprised.
Generally, when members of the Ancient God Clan chose Cultivation Techniques, they would enter a formation to comprehend them, and it was normal for the time needed to be as short as a few years or as long as a hundred years.
But there had never been anyone like Xuanqing, who had just entered and came out in a while.
"Hehe!"
Xuanqing chuckled lightly, without feeling any embarrassment, and frankly said, "I did choose the Cultivation Techniques, but I am a bit strapped for cash."
"Er… I see, take care~" The guard forced a smile and said no more.
…
…
Returning to Pan God Peak.
Xuanqing sat down cross-legged and took out a cubic jade slip from his Game Backpack.
Bizarre Treasures in the Northern Region
This was a record of most of the odd treasures that existed in the Northern Galaxy Domain, seen as 'basic knowledge'.
Originally.
He had planned to directly visit Ancient Wilderness City to see what he could trade.
But now that he had Bizarre Treasures in the Northern Region, it naturally made sense to study it in his cave mansion first and understand the basics before going.
"Treasure record, the title page…"
"Chaotic Seven-Leaf Flower, a common Spirit Plant, possesses…"
…
"Elemental Crystal, the remains left after the Elemental Clan of the four great forces in the Northern Galaxy Domain dies… This object is a banned item in the Northern Galaxy Domain and is prohibited from being traded on the market!"
When he saw this item.
Xuanqing was slightly startled.
So, after their death, the Elemental Clan from the four great forces of the Northern Galaxy Domain would leave behind something called Elemental Crystal?
From this, it seemed to be similar to the Ancient God Clan.
The Ancient God Clan, upon dying, would leave behind their remnants of obsession. If encountered by someone destined, they would pass on their remaining Origin to that person.
The fated individual who accepted the inheritance… would be transformed into an 'Ancient Archon' and thus qualify to return to the Ancient God Clan.
However!
Xuanqing's case was special, different from the typical inheritors. His Ancient God Origin was not obtained through inheritance.
It was purchased from the Game Mall, a 'Second Grade Ancient God Origin (Fake)', acquired by spending Gold Ingots.
Of course… these are just digressions.
Continuing to browse Bizarre Treasures in the Northern Region… he saw information related to the Ancient God Clan and closely related to himself.
"Ancient God Origin: Produced when a member of the Ancient God Clan dies, it can transform a creature's bloodline into that of an Ancient Archon…" Xuanqing muttered to himself while reading the content.
…..
After finishing.
He returned Bizarre Treasures in the Northern Region to the Game Backpack.
But Xuanqing frowned.
He had originally planned to purchase some 'Second Grade Ancient God Origin (Fake)' from the Game Mall to sell in the marketplace.
Endless Chaos was not like Primordial; the resources he had at his disposal were likely only worth something like Second Grade Ancient God Origin (Fake) to sell at a good price.
Afterwards.
Xuanqing opened the Game Mall.
Basic Breathing Exercise (100)
Taoist Novice Suit (100)
Sumeru Bag (200)
….
First Grade Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron (102 Billion Ingots)
A drop of Second-Grade Ancient Archon Origin (Fake) (100 Billion Ingots)
1 Origin Point = 1 Billion Ingots
Devouring Heaven Fruit = 15 Quadrillion Ingots
…
His gaze continuously scanned through the Game Store.
In the end,
Xuanqing found that, apart from those few worse Chaotic Treasures, there were only two other items that barely caught his eye.
One was the Second-Grade Ancient Archon Origin (Fake); the other was the "Devouring Heaven Fruit"!
Unfortunately,
in the "Bizarre Treasures in the Northern Region," it was clearly marked that the Ancient Archon Origin was a forbidden object among forbidden objects, absolutely not to appear in trade transactions. If discovered, one would face extermination by the Ancient God Clan!
"So… there's only the Devouring Heaven Fruit left," Xuanqing thought to himself.
With that thought,
[Ding… -15 Quadrillion Ingots!]
Following the deduction of Ingots, a fruit shaped like a gourd and emanating world power appeared in his Game Backpack.
"This Devouring Heaven Fruit contains world power, and according to the introduction in 'Bizarre Treasures in the Northern Region,' it seems similar to a World Fragment."
Xuanqing brought the Devouring Heaven Fruit closer to him and took out the book "Bizarre Treasures in the Northern Region," flipping to the page that recorded information about 'World Fragments.'
World Fragment: Produced when a world is destroyed, containing rich world power. The rank of the world determines the grade of the resultant World Fragment, which can be used for refinement, practice, …
"The Devouring Heaven Fruit and the World Fragment both contain rich world power; their effects must be similar,"
"This Devouring Heaven Fruit of mine seems to be crafted from the absorption of a planet's origin; it should correspond to the fragments produced from the destruction of a Small Thousand Worlds."
Xuanqing thought thusly.
So,
he decided to take this 'Devouring Heaven Fruit' to the Ancient Wilderness City to see if he could sell it.
Even if he couldn't sell it, it wouldn't hurt to stroll around the city and upload some objects to increase the variety of goods in the Game Store.
With this thought in mind,
"North Region map!"
Xuanqing took the map out of his Game Backpack. Among the jade slips he obtained from the Scripture Pavilion, there was this map, which saved him much trouble.
Shoo~
…
…..
Ancient Wilderness City.
This city, established within the Northern Galaxy Domain and close to the Ancient Clan of the Ancient Gods, was thus named Ancient Wilderness City.
The streets of the city were lined with a dazzling array of shops.
Countless exotic creatures walked the streets, some hurrying along, others strolling leisurely, and still others coming in and out of the shops.
Such a lively place!
However,
it's strange that, despite the marketplace being named 'Ancient Wilderness City,' there were no Ancient Gods to be seen anywhere within the city.
Even the 'human-like' creatures mostly differed from the Ancient God Clan; if they didn't have an extra pair of horns, then they had an additional tail.
Moreover,
unlike ordinary marketplaces, Ancient Wilderness City was unusually quiet; aside from the footsteps of the creatures on the street, other noises were almost non-existent.
At this moment,
Xuanqing was walking on the streets of Ancient Wilderness City.
He had already strolled through several streets, but embarrassingly, he hadn't encountered even one street vendor.
Apart from the shops on both sides of the streets, there were simply no idle individuals setting up stalls.
Seeing this scene,
Xuanqing felt a bit disappointed; he had hoped to relive the experience he had had just after he started practice, when he first ventured into the cultivators' trading marketplace, led by Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She.
It seems… he could only randomly find a grocery store to inquire if they were interested in purchasing his Devouring Heaven Fruit.
Thinking this,
Xuanqing's gaze landed on a store.
He walked into a shop named 'Worry-Relieving Grocery Store.'
"Hello, please feel free to help yourself… Eh…."
The shopkeeper was a pitch-black bird who, upon hearing some noise, greeted the customer routinely.
But then he saw the appearance of this customer, and the aura…
Could it be… could it really be an Ancient Archon?

Chapter 581: Chapter 401: The Domineering Nature of the Ancient God Clan!_1
"Hiss…" The Black Bird gasped in shock and quickly hopped out from behind the counter, his face wearing a fawning expression.
"May I inquire how to address this distinguished Ancient Archon, Sir?"
"If there's anything you need from this humble one, please don't hesitate to command me!" The Black Bird bowed deeply, speaking cautiously.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing grew curious.
The shopkeeper's attitude towards him was a bit too strange.
You should know.
He could feel that the Black Bird shopkeeper had a cultivation just like his own, both at the realm of Chaos Immortal.
"Do you have any World Fragments for sale here?"
Xuanqing did not come straight out with the Devouring Heaven Fruit to sell, instead pretending to be a buyer to probe the price, to avoid getting taken advantage of.
"Yes, yes, yes, this humble one has World Fragments for sale, complete worlds also available, but if you want a complete world, you'll have to wait two more days."
"What are the prices?"
"You would need…"
The Black Bird shopkeeper instinctively thought to quote a high price, but then remembered that the person in front of him was a noble from the Ancient God Clan, someone he definitely should not offend.
"Sir, having you in my store is an honor for me, and for these fragments, ten Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones would suffice," he said.
"If it's for a complete world, two hundred Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones."
"Bring me one fragment first; let me take a look at it first!" Xuanqing commanded.
"Yes!"
…
Subsequently.
One could see the Black Bird shopkeeper heading to a drawer and taking out a nondescript black stone box.
"Sir, please look, the World Fragments in our store contain rich world power; they are genuine, as known far and wide…"
While opening the box in his hand, the Black Bird shopkeeper boasted about his merchandise, eventually placing the object in front of Xuanqing.
Glancing over.
Within the box lay a fragment emitting a faint white light, like a dim star.
However.
Xuanqing was mainly sensing the world power contained within it.
Comparing the world power, he found that one of his Devouring Heaven Fruits could be worth ten of those Small Thousand Fragments.
With this thought.
He then asked again, "I heard you mention Small Thousand World Fragments just now. Do you have any Great Thousand World Fragments?"
"Uh…?"
The Black Bird shopkeeper was stunned, his expression somewhat strange, then weakly added, "You must be joking, Sir. How could such a precious item be available in my modest shop!"
"Let alone my store, I fear that even throughout the entire Grocery stores of the North Region, you would not find one that sells Great Thousand World Fragments."
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing waved his hand and didn't press further about the Great Thousand World, instead directly taking out the Devouring Heaven Fruit from his Game Backpack.
Now that he knew the price of the Small Thousand Fragments, he could reveal his true intentions.
"The world power in this fruit is roughly equivalent to ten of your Small Thousand Fragments. Will you take it?"
As soon as he said this.
The Black Bird shopkeeper suddenly understood.
So that's why this Ancient God had been acting so weirdly after entering the store; he wasn't here to buy, but to sell!
Taking the fruit handed over, he scrutinized it closely and confirmed, as this Ancient God Clan member said, that the world power was exceedingly rich – one fruit indeed matched ten Small Thousand Fragments.
"We'll take it, Sir. This fruit's Small Thousand Origin is concentrated; one fruit for ten fragments is definitely a good deal for practice," praised the Black Bird shopkeeper, but then his tone changed, and he said:
"However, although your fruit is a great item, it can only be used for practice, unlike the Small Thousand Fragments that can also be used in forging, formation setting… so, about the price…"
"Enough talk, just name your price!"
Xuanqing frowned slightly, speaking calmly.
The merchant was only seeking profit, using a tactic of praise followed by criticism to drive down the price of the Devouring Heaven Fruit. He couldn't be bothered to haggle, as long as the price wasn't too outrageous it was fine by him.
"Of course, of course…"
The Black Bird shopkeeper was startled and wanted to slap himself for again forgetting that this 'Sir' was not an ordinary creature but a supreme Ancient God Clan member from the North Region.
"Ninety Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones, I am willing to pay ninety Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones to acquire this fruit from you, Sir…"
Ninety Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones?
Hearing this number.
Xuanqing was taken aback.
Goodness… does this mean that one Devouring Heaven Fruit is worth the same as ninety demon gods from the Primordial World?
Of course.
The math couldn't really be calculated like that, as after all, it was an extra reward for slaying a demon god, and not by recharging the demon god, which would reduce its value significantly, so this was quite reasonable.
"Ninety-five… I can't go any higher, Sir~~"
The Black Bird shopkeeper was on the verge of tears and then gritted his teeth, stomping his foot, saying:
"One hundred… If you, Sir, don't have many of these fruits, this humble one… is willing to pay one hundred Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones to purchase them."
At that moment, his heart was bleeding, only hoping that Sir from the Ancient God Clan didn't have many fruits, so he could lose a bit less, considering it as a protection fee paid.
"Let it be ninety-five Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones; you're a merchant too, I can't let you take a loss!"
Xuanqing gestured with his hand as he spoke.
Even though he didn't understand why this Black Bird shopkeeper was so afraid of him, he didn't want to become arrogant because of it.
That was his nature, loathing being overcharged, but he wouldn't take advantage of others on account of his status.
"Very good, thank you, Sir, for your understanding. I'll take as many of these fruits as you have."

Chapter 582: Chapter 401: The Domineering Ancient God Clan!_2
The Black Bird shopkeeper was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his thanks, the flattering look on his face almost overflowing.
A single Devouring Heaven Fruit for ninety-five Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones.
The price of "Pantheon's Nine Transformations" in the Scripture Pavilion was two thousand Contribution Points, or alternatively, twenty thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones.
In that case, it would require 210.5 Devouring Heaven Fruits, but there's no such thing as a half fruit, which means at least two hundred and eleven fruits.
"I have two hundred and fifty here, can you handle that?"
Since that's the case,
might as well sell a bit more, then after purchasing the Cultivation Technique, using the rest for daily expenses wouldn't be bad.
"Alright, do you have the items on your person?" the Black Bird shopkeeper's eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked.
Despite its pitiful cries, the price of ninety-five Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones still carried a decent profit margin.
Even at one hundred Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones a profit was still present, albeit a small one.
The reason for the shopkeeper's woeful cries was because for a merchant like it, earning less was equivalent to a loss.
"Right here on me."
Xuanqing answered, then silently chanted in his mind, "Purchase two hundred and fifty Devouring Heaven Fruits."
[Ding…-3750 trillion Ingots!]
[Your current remaining balance of Ingots: 96.3 million trillion]
With the deduction of Ingots, Xuanqing's Game Backpack now had two hundred and fifty more Devouring Heaven Fruits, which he then put into a Sumeru Bag.
"Here…count them,"
Xuanqing tossed the Sumeru Bag over, signaling for the other party to check.
"A Sumeru Bag?"
Sure enough.
The sight of the Sumeru Bag made the Black Bird exclaim in shock, following up with an incredulous remark,
"Sir, you…are you an Inheritor of the Ancient God Clan?"
"Hm?"
Xuanqing was slightly taken aback.
Seeing this,
the Black Bird quickly explained, "This humble one once had the fortune to attend to an Inheritor of the Ancient God Clan. Generally speaking…such Sumeru Bags are only possessed by the Inheritors returning from the Lower Realm."
"The magnificence of that Senior, this humble one shall never dare to forget in this lifetime!"
Of course…the last sentence added a hint of flattery.
Xuanqing suddenly realized.
Indeed,
he had never seen anyone else use Sumeru Bags in the Endless Chaos World, as most beings naturally came with their own space.
After all,
if one were a creature born and raised in the Endless Chaos, they were at least of Half-step Chaos cultivation. While they could not tear open space, creating a Sumeru Space for storing objects was something everyone could do.
….
The Black Bird shopkeeper received the Devouring Heaven Fruits, meticulously inspected each one to ensure the World Origin within them was equivalent to ten small fragments of a Great Thousand World, and then took out the corresponding Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones from a drawer.
"Sir, here's your Sumeru Bag back, with twenty-four thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones inside. The extra part is a modest tribute from me to you."
"Thank you."
Xuanqing raised an eyebrow.
…
With enough Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones in hand, he had achieved his objective for this trip and could now return to purchase the Cultivation Technique left by Pangu.
He stepped out of the shop.
The Black Bird shopkeeper watched Xuanqing leave, then as if remembering something, immediately called out,
"Sir, if you have any treasures in the future, you can bring them here. I'll do my best to take them off your hands, and if I can't, I can still offer some advice~~"
"Heh!"
Outside the shop,
Xuanqing paused his step and chuckled softly.
He hadn't expected the shopkeeper, though a bit timid, to have quite the way with words and actions.
…..
….
After returning to the Ancient Clan's territory,
Xuanqing went straight to the Scripture Pavilion.
"Ah, greetings to Master Xuan Qing. You've gathered enough merits so quickly?" the guard of the Scripture Pavilion greeted Xuanqing with a tinge of curiosity when he saw him.
So fast, when last time you mentioned being tight on money?
"Yes."
Xuanqing nodded, handed over his token to the guard, and casually chatted, "I made a trip to Ancient Wilderness City and dealt with some objects."
"So that's the case!"
The guard had an epiphany.
So it turned out that the Inheritor and Master of the Peak was not planning to use contribution points but intended to buy the Cultivation Techniques with Chaos Crystal Stones.
It seems… the former Master of Pan God Peak must have left quite a few treasures~
Thinking of this, envy couldn't help but rise in his heart.
It's always better to be an Inheritor, whether it's carrying the luck of a world or possibly inheriting the wealth of ancient archons.
For those of us in the Ancient God Clan born and raised in the Northern Galaxy Domain, although we're already very well-off, we still fall short compared to an Inheritor.
"Master Xuanqing is really lucky!" the guard said enviously.
Xuanqing smiled lightly and then, as if he had remembered something, he asked:
"May I ask, my clan brother, when I went to handle the goods just now, that shopkeeper in the city had a very strange attitude, seemingly very fearful of me, even willing to concede profits…"
He recounted to the guard of the Scripture Pavilion from the Ancient God Clan what had occurred with the Black Bird shopkeeper in Ancient Wilderness City.
"Hahaha, Master, you're unaware, our Ancient God Clan stands at the summit of the North Region; even the other three major forces are just huddling together for warmth."
"Not to mention a mere shopkeeper, even the city lord of Ancient Wilderness City has to be extremely careful around you."
The guard laughed heartily, his words brimming with an unsurpassed arrogance that perfectly captured the grandeur of the preeminent force in the Northern Galaxy Domain.
"Master Xuanqing, my name is Huang Youzhi. With your status as Master, you may simply call me Youzhi."
"Alright, thank you for the information, Youzhi."
Xuanqing smiled lightly, bowed in thanks, and then stepped into the Scripture Pavilion.
…
Humming~
With one step into the Scripture Pavilion, the scenery changed, as if he had entered a Great Thousand Worlds, passing by countless formations until he reached the formation left by Pangu.
"Pantheon's Nine Transformations!"
Xuanqing murmured softly.
On the stone stele in front of the formation, the introduction and the price for the Cultivation Technique "Pantheon's Nine Transformations" were still inscribed.
Pantheon's Nine Transformations: 2000 contribution points or 20,000 Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones!
Next to the stele, there was a slot similar to a 'coin insertion', through which one needed to deposit the corresponding Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones or swipe an identity token to deduct the necessary contribution points to obtain the inheritance of the Cultivation Technique.
"Go!"
Xuanqing first placed his identity token on it and then took out twenty thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones from his Backpack and dropped them into the slot.
The next moment.
Humming~
The stone stele emitted light; the previously sealed formation opened a pathway.
…
After entering, the scene abruptly changed.
An immensely large figure was suspended in the empty void of Endless Chaos; the mere aura emanating from him seemed as though it could suppress an eternity.
"You have arrived!"
A resonant voice spoke from the mouth of the giant.
"Pangu Senior?"
Xuanqing was taken aback—if it weren't for the fact that the figure had energy fluctuations instead of the slightest flicker of consciousness, he might have thought Pangu had come back to life.
"My Pantheon's Nine Transformations, the first transformation forges the shin bones and five viscera, the second the bloodlines and foundation, the third creates five realms from the five viscera, the fourth generates Yin and Yang, the fifth…"
The giant energy form of Pangu, without sparing a glance at Xuanqing, went on to talk about the Pantheon's Cultivation Technique he created.
After he had finished,
the energy body began to demonstrate the actual practice, and during this process, the Chaos Crystal Stones that were placed in the stele rapidly dissipated.
It turns out… the reason for collecting Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones for the Cultivation Techniques was not to make a profit, but simply to drive the formation.
If one used contribution points to exchange for the Cultivation Techniques, it would consume the energy stored in the stele, which, once depleted, would be replaced by a dedicated member of the Ancient God Clan.
The demonstration continued.
And to tell the truth,
Pangu's teaching was extremely detailed, especially the parts of the practice that involved the operation of laws, which were repeated several times.
…
Time hurried by.
Who knows how much time had passed.
Finally,
the explanation arrived at the last transformation of Pantheon's Nine Transformations!
"The ninth transformation… evolves into Primordial, to prove the body of a ninth-tier Ancient Archon, suppressing the myriad races of the galaxy!"
Booming~
As the energy of the Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones in the stele whirred crazily…
A tiny black dot appeared.
Then,
the giant holding the Pangu Axe swung the axe in his hand with a mysterious rhythm.
With each swing, countless laws flowed.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 583: Chapter 402: Chaos True Monarch_1
These laws connect from point to line, then from the lines of laws to form surfaces, eventually creating the crystal wall of the Primordial World.
…
The image ended.
"Hu~"
Xuanqing took a long breath and felt an immense shock in his heart.
"So this… this is the true Primordial!!"
The scenes witnessed within the formation were entirely different from what could be seen in the Primordial World.
Unimaginable.
If back when Pangu created the Primordial World, it had not been destroyed by the Three Thousand Demon Gods, what level of achievement would it have reached by now?
I fear… it would at least be on the level of the Ancient Archons!
"The Nine Transformations of the Pan God created by senior Pangu indeed have a unique resemblance to my Swallow Heaven Saint Art!"
"Both the Nine Transformations of the Pan God and the Swallow Heaven Saint Art involve the practice of world power," the former externalizes the power of the world, utilizing the traction of laws to initiate a Metamorphosis of the bloodline, maximizing the potential of the Ancient God Clan's bloodline…."
"Whereas my Swallow Heaven Saint Art, although it also involves cultivating world power, directly absorbs it into the physical body, refining it into one's own strength."
"If so… by ensuring it retains the distinct features of the Swallow Heaven Saint Art, and by drawing on the Pan God's method of world creation, I should be able to create a unique path for a Chaos Immortal."
…
A myriad of thoughts swirled in Xuanqing's mind.
After a long while.
He stood up, glanced at the stone stele at the entrance, and saw that the Lower Grade Chaos Crystals inside had been completely consumed.
"No wonder they say that the more powerful the Cultivation Technique, the more Contribution Points, or Lower Grade Chaos Crystals it requires."
"Mainly because the process of demonstrating the Technique doesn't only show images, but also simulates the laws within…"
Xuanqing realized in his heart.
Originally.
He thought the reason why the Scripture Pavilion's techniques were charged was because the creators wanted to earn resources. Now it seems… it's merely the consumption needed for the illusory demonstration of the techniques.
…
Leaving the Scripture Pavilion.
As he passed the entrance, Xuanqing found that the guard, Huang Youzhi, who was there last time, had disappeared, replaced by another member of the Ancient God Clan.
And this Ancient God Clan member was someone he had interacted with before, exactly the guard from the entrance of the Martial Arts Arena.
"Master Xuan Qing?"
"What a coincidence, clan brother, we meet again!" Xuanqing also greeted him with a smile.
Little did he know.
The guard's face was filled with helplessness as he said, "My cultivation is not enough, I can only do some guarding duties, whether it's guarding the Martial Arts Arena, the Scripture Pavilion, or managing the Medicine Garden, that's the only way I can earn some Contribution Points to live by!"
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing didn't know what to say and after bowing his hands again, he stepped away from the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.
No matter where, there are always class divisions, even within the Ancient God Clan that dominates the Northern Galaxy Domain. Some engage in combat missions, while others do this kind of internal work.
…
…
Back at the Taoist temple on Pan God Peak.
"Begin comprehending the Cultivation Technique!"
Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the cushion, starting to deduce the Nine Transformations of the Pan God he had just learned in his mind.
However.
He had underestimated the difficulty of creating his own Cultivation Techniques.
A whole month went by, and although he became more familiar with the Nine Transformations of the Pan God, how to apply the techniques of cultivating the world into his own Swallow Heaven Saint Art, he had no clue whatsoever.
Difficult!
Unbelievably difficult!
It seemed that if he wanted to rely on his own abilities, even if he could deduce the follow-up techniques for the Swallow Heaven Saint Art, it was unknown how many years it would take.
In that case… he had no choice but to use his trump card.
"I wonder… how effective is the Chaos-level 'Abandoning the Saint to Forsake Intelligence'…"
Ever since the Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device was updated, its functions changed accordingly, including 'Abandoning the Saint to Forsake Intelligence'.
The Abandoning the Saint to Forsake Intelligence before the level of Chaos Immortal had no changes in consumption; it cost as many Ingots as it did before.
But.
Once it involves the Chaos-level Abandoning the Saint to Forsake Intelligence, its functional consumption shifts from Ingots to 'Chaos Points'.
Furthermore, it's one Chaos Point per second!
What concept is this?
As long as the Abandoning the Saint to Forsake Intelligence function is on, every second a Lower Grade Chaos Crystal is wasted, every second is equivalent to the reward for slaying a Chaos Immortal Creature.
"Recharge first!"
With a wave of Xuanqing's right hand, he took out the remaining Lower Grade Chaos Crystals.
A total of four hundred and five!
Four hundred of them remained after selling the Devouring Heaven Fruits and purchasing techniques, and the odd five crystals were the annual salary received upon returning to the clan's domain.
Thanks to the status as overlords of the North Region, even if the people of the Ancient God Clan did nothing, they could receive a couple of Lower Grade Chaos Crystals every year.
Do not think this amount is small.
You must understand.
Time, this thing, is not measured by years within the Primordial World and even less so in the Endless Chaos.
A few Lower Grade Crystals a year might seem little, but if the timeline is extended, what about a few years… or even decades… a hundred years, a thousand years?
And to the Ancient God Clan, whether it's a hundred or a thousand years, it's just a flick of the fingers.
Of course, these lengthy time units are also meaningless to Xuanqing, because just by age, compared to the Ancient God Clan, he's not much different from a newborn baby.
"Recharge!" Xuanqing silently commanded.
[Beep…405 Chaos Points.]
Considering the point used for experimental recharge at the beginning, he had a total of 406 Chaos Points now.
"Four hundred seconds, I don't expect to completely deduce the follow-up techniques, but at least provide me with a direction!"

Chapter 584: Chapter 402: Chaos True Monarch_2
Xuanqing murmured softly.
Soon after,
"Activate the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom for four hundred seconds!"
[Warm Reminder: The target for this acceleration is the Chaos Immortal, consuming 1 Chaos Point per second. Would you like to continue accelerating?]
PS: This prompt will only appear when using the function for the first time, and will not prompt again when using the same function!
"Use it!"
The next moment.
Boom!
Xuanqing felt his God Soul explode, and the Chaos Rules in the surrounding space appeared naked and beautiful before him.
"Pantheon's Nine Transformations… the first transformation forges the shinbones and internal organs, the second for the bloodlines and foundation, the third creates five realms from the five organs, the fourth produces Yin and Yang, the fifth…"
"The ninth… forges the Primordial…"
The images seen within the Scripture Pavilion's formation replayed over and over in his mind.
During this process, the surrounding Laws also changed accordingly.
Xuanqing felt as if he were immersed in an ocean of Chaos Rules, and these Chaos Rules seemed to have life, personally teaching him the operation methods of Pantheon's Nine Transformations.
Profound!
Extremely profound!
No wonder it consumes 1 Chaos Point per second, the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom.
In no time at all,
Xuanqing had fully absorbed and mastered Pangu's Pantheon's Nine Transformations and grasped the techniques for cultivating worlds within it.
Next… was to integrate these techniques into his own Swallow Heaven Saintly Art and deduce the parts that lay beyond the Chaos level.
"Swallow Heaven Saintly Art…"
Xuanqing began to deduce his Cultivation Techniques.
[Beep… -1 Chaos Point!]
[Beep… -1 Chaos Point!]
[Beep… -1 Chaos Point!]
…
As time ticked away second by second, Chaos Points were rapidly consumed.
Finally,
when there were only a few seconds left of the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom.
A flash of insight.
Xuanqing suddenly opened his eyes and rapidly murmured, "Swallow Heaven Saintly Art transforms the body into a world to prove the Chaos Immortal, Pantheon's Nine Transformations…"
"Hence, after transforming the body into a world, one must think in reverse, and then use the world as an incarnation to condense the Chaos Shell!"
"Use the Bluewater Realm as the shell and condense the heart from the Fire of the Great Thousand Worlds to prove the realm of Chaos True Monarch!"
It is incredibly difficult to go from 0 to 1, but once the first step is taken, it's a natural progression from 1 to 2, and then from 2 to 3… 4… and even more.
Having deduced the path of cultivation beyond Chaos Immortal, his thoughts surged like a spring, advancing triumphantly along the path, and the subsequent cultivation road was deduced one after another.
…
It is worth mentioning that,
The Endless Chaos is vast and boundless, and just the number of creatures and races in the Northern Galaxy Domain amounts to hundreds of millions.
In such an extensive world, the directions for cultivation are varied and chaotic, hard to discern.
However,
overall,
several major realms have been delineated.
Half-step chaos: The state of most races in their juvenile years; flowers, grass, and beasts without intelligence in the wild are all of this realm.
Chaos Immortals: The body adapts to the endless Chaos Rules, and every naturally born creature of the Endless Chaos, upon reaching adulthood, is of this realm, still belonging to the lower echelons.
Moving up… Chaos True Monarch!
Chaos True Monarch: This realm serves as a dividing line; those below the True Monarch are deemed lower-level, and those fortunate enough to attain the True Monarch realm are considered the backbone of the Northern Galaxy Domain.
Although in the four great powers of the Northern Galaxy Domain, a mere Chaos True Monarch counts for little,
in some smaller families, the power of a Chaos True Monarch is sufficient to assume the role of an elder, and in some cases, even that of a chieftain.
Of course,
True Monarchs vary in strength.
Powerful Chaos True Monarchs, who can take on hundreds or even a thousand foes single-handedly, are not an impossibility.
Because of the vast number of creatures in the Chaos True Monarch Realm, it has been further subdivided into five minor realms.
Early Stage True Monarch, Middle Stage True Monarch, Late Stage True Monarch!!
In addition to these, there are the extremely special peak of Chaos True Monarch and the realm of Perfection True Monarch.
The early, middle, and late small realms are quite ordinary; most creatures can break through and enter as long as they have sufficient cultivation resources.
However, the 'peak of True Monarch' and 'Perfection True Monarch' are different.
What has been mentioned before about 'a powerful True Monarch facing a hundred, even a thousand enemies' refers to these two small realms.
If the difference between the three small realms of early, middle, and late True Monarchs is only tenfold…
Then any random peak True Monarch could easily defeat a hundred creatures at the late stage of Chaos True Monarch.
When it comes to the realm of Perfection True Monarch, it's even more incredible; slaying early and middle-stage True Monarchs is like slaughtering dogs and chickens.
However.
Creatures that have cultivated to the Perfection Chaos True Monarch Realm seldom go out and about, almost always in closed-door cultivation, aiming for higher realms.
Only when their attempts at breaking through fail and no hope of advancement remains, do creatures at the Perfection Chaos True Monarch Realm come out to participate in the struggle for cultivation resources to secure benefits for their kin and descendants.
The above is a rough overview of the situation for 'Chaos True Monarchs' above the level of Chaos Immortals!
…..
On this side.
[Beep…Effect of Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom has ended!]
It was precisely when the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom effect of the quantifier ended that Xuanqing finished the final step of deducing the Swallow Heaven Saint Art of Chaos True Monarch.
"Huh!"
Xuanqing opened his eyes and murmured softly, "So what I need to do now is to re-condense the world-transformed body into a Chaos Body!"
In the Swallow Heaven Saint Art he had deduced.
Before becoming a Chaos Immortal: Transform into the world, where ordinary flesh is turned into a realm, proving the dao with the origin of the world to become a Chaos Immortal.
After becoming a Chaos Immortal: Condense a Chaos Shell from the world's origin, and then continuously perfect this new body, to prove the realm of Chaos True Monarch!
Swallow Heaven Saint Art – New Version
First Step: Re-condense the body transformed into the Great Thousand World called Bluewater Realm into a new Physical Body.
After completing this step, one is akin to having broken through to the realm of Chaos True Monarch, but at this moment, it is only touching the threshold of Chaos True Monarch, not yet a true Chaos True Monarch.
Early Stage True Monarch: Perfect the hollow Chaos Shell, refine a Great Thousand World into the heart within the body.
Once the Chaos Shell has a heart, it can be considered to have a source of Law Power, mastering the power of a True Monarch.
After that, one exploits the characteristics of the Swallow Heaven Saint Art to continuously devour the power of small worlds transformed into hearts until reaching the limit.
Thus…this is the cultivation process for the Early Stage True Monarch!
Middle Stage True Monarch: Continue to perfect the hollow Chaos Shell, refine a Great Thousand World, and add another organ, let's take the kidneys as an example:
Just like in the early stage, after adding kidneys to the Chaos Body, continue to devour small worlds relentlessly, until reaching the limit!
Thus…this is the cultivation process for the Middle Stage True Monarch.
And so forth.
The subsequent Late Stage True Monarch, Peak True Monarch, and the final Perfection True Monarch are about condensing the remaining three inner organs.
This is the cultivation of the Swallow Heaven Saint Art at the Chaos True Monarch stage.
Worthy of mention is…..
In this process, one needs to search for a Great Thousand World with Chaos Rules that match the heart!
What does that mean?
As an example, whilst condensing the heart.
One cannot just refine any Great Thousand World to form the heart of the Chaos Shell; it must be a Great Thousand World of 'Fire Chaos Rules'.
The same applies!
If it is the kidneys, then one needs to refine a Great Thousand World of 'Water Chaos Rules' to condense it.
…
This moment.
Some more time was spent to arrange the subsequent methods of cultivation deduced in the mind.
Finally!
Everything was ready.
"Then…let's first condense the Chaos Shell as a foundation for the later condensing of the five Chaos Rule organs!"
Xuanqing's eyes were resolute.
Of course.
He planned to carry out this process of cultivation back in the Universe Space of the real world.
The reason for this is his concern that the transformation of Bluewater Realm during the condensation of the Chaos Shell might be too drastic, and the humans living within it might face danger.
In case… his breakthrough in cultivation manifested directly in the real world, causing all humans in the Bluewater Realm to perish, wouldn't that be disastrous?

"
Not to mention the vast benefits that humanity in the Bluewater Realm has brought, the emotional aspect alone is hard to overcome!
Only by returning to Universe Space in the Real World and making a breakthrough, could he, during the breakthrough process, devote a trace of his mind to protect humanity in case any harm comes to them.
With this thought in mind.
"Exit the Game!" Xuanqing sat cross-legged and silently chanted in his heart.
….
….
In the Dark Realm, Universe Space of the Solar System.
A crystal ball the size of a glass bead, emitting a faint light, was Xuanqing awakening from the Game.
It took a while for Xuanqing, who had reverted from a game character to a 'world state,' to get used to the sensory experiences of this state.
"First, let's revert to the original size."
Xuanqing thought to himself.
Being the size of a glass bead was for the sake of hiding; it wasn't suitable for breaking through and condensing a Chaos Shell.
The next moment.
His crystal ball body slightly trembled, starting to expand and quickly reverting to the size of thousands of planets.
Threads of golden light appeared.
It was because the massive mass of the crystal ball body pulled particles from the sun's surface from a distance.
At the same time.
Xuanqing also felt a great gravitational pull coming from the sun.
In the Dark Realm, there's a high-level Law that the larger the form and the greater the mass, the stronger the gravity it produces.
Conversely, the larger the form and mass, the greater the gravitational forces they must withstand.
"This Solar System constantly bears the immense gravitation of the sun, a Perpetual Star; it seems best to shift elsewhere first."
Whoosh~
Xuanqing controlled the world and directly jumped through space, arriving at a void with no planets around.
After leaving the Solar System.
He checked the surroundings to ensure it was suitable for a breakthrough!
"Begin the breakthrough."
Xuanqing activated the Cultivation Techniques he had deduced in the Game World.
And during this process, he immersed his focus within the world inside his body, ensuring the safety of the human inhabitants within.
Boom~
His enormous body started to change.
The originally spherical world gradually developed boundaries and began to morph toward an irregular human shape.
….
Bluewater Realm!
After decades and centuries of development.
Human beings living in this world had fully adapted to the form of the Great Thousand Worlds.
With the assistance of the Great Yan Federation, and the three doctrines of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, everything in the human world developed in a thriving direction.
The population… had broken through a hundred billion!
The number of cultivators had grown to the level of ten billion, basically a ten-to-one ratio.
However.
It was not just the cultivators.
In the field of technology, there had also been tremendous development in the Bluewater Realm.
Biology… Various genetic medicines, even those that enhance cultivation talent, had been developed.
In physics, a machine capable of space-jumping has been successfully developed, and the focus is now on developing 'family-style' small space-jumping machines.
….
At this moment.
Qingping Holy Mountain.
Yang Ying, Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, Huai Qingyun, Cang Qingyu, and others gathered together.
Because.
Just moments ago, a hundred years later, they received a message from Xuanqing once more, which undoubtedly excited them.
"The palace lord said the world will undergo changes again soon and asked us to be prepared."
"Yes, Sir had said he would protect all of humanity, so there shouldn't be too much trouble."
"So… our next task remains to work on the mindset of the populace, to ensure that during this process, we don't cause…"
…
In just about ten minutes.
The Five Members of the Taiji Hall allocated their respective duties; all that was left was to wait quietly for the changes in the world.
A few days later.
"Here it comes, here it comes!"
Yang Ying's spirits lifted.
Everyone perked up.
Boom!
The entire Bluewater Realm shook violently; with the naked eye, one could see changes occurring on the horizon.
The previously gray edges began to exhibit a layer of dark crystal walls, which gradually elongated and finally formed into a long corridor.
A head!
The head of the Chaos Shell appeared first.
Then.
The dark crystal walls continued to change, extending downward… forming a neck… a chest… arms… fingertips… waist…
No one knew how long it took.
Perhaps a month, or maybe a year.
Just as before when the world underwent Metamorphosis, going from a planet to the Great Thousand Worlds, all humans could do nothing but watch the world change.
Fortunately.
With the Great Yan Federation and the Taiji Hall being present, and with prior notification, there was no chaos even after the world's Transformation was complete and people could move again.
Qingping Holy Mountain.
No matter how the world changed, this place always remained the center of the Bluewater Realm; even the daoist temple on the mountain and a cushion inside remained unchanged.
"It's over!"
The Five Members of the Taiji Hall breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they were about to disperse, a voice suddenly rang out over Qingping Holy Mountain.
"Refine the Origin of the Ancient Archon in your bodies diligently; those who undergo the Metamorphosis and form the body of an Ancient Archon may follow in my footsteps!"
It was Xuanqing's voice!
Upon hearing Xuanqing's voice, each had a different expression.
Among them.
Yang Ying, Huai Qingyun, and Cang Qingyu… the three of them appeared thrilled and were constantly thinking of following their master in their hearts.
"
Chapter 586: Chapter 403: The Origin of the Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device?_2
Compared to the excitement others displayed, Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing wore expressions of entanglement instead.
It wasn't that they had become disloyal to Xuanqing; they simply did not wish to leave the familiar environment they were accustomed to.
As the proverb goes, different strokes for different folks, one does not plan with those who travel a different path.
Among the five people in the Taiji Hall…
Cang Qingyu was responsible for the Heavenly Path, while Huai Qingyun was in charge of the Earthly Path.
The other three, including Yang Ying, were mainly responsible for affairs within the human world.
After several hundred years of development, both of them had started their own lineages, and their descendants had multiplied beyond count.
Not to mention anything else.
Just take Elder Jingde's granddaughter Ru Xiao, whose name sounds like 'little milk' and who used to be a counter girl at the Taoist Association; she is now a grandmother!
Elder Jingde even has great-great-grandchildren.
There was no helping it.
In comparison to Yang Ying, Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing had blood relatives, and such ties were not something that could easily be severed.
On the contrary, Yang Ying could be as resolute as Huai Qingyun and Cang Qingyu because she no longer had any ties holding her back.
Just a few years ago, her parents had passed away, and since she had no siblings or other immediate family apart from some distant relatives, she was left without any close kin.
"Old Master Jingde, Old Master Qianqing, you needn't worry,"
Yang Ying looked at the two old masters and comforted them, "You know what sort of character our palace lord has."
"Moreover… the Bluewater Realm here also needs our own people to manage, and his old man will certainly not force you to leave the Bluewater Realm."
Upon hearing this,
Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing exchanged glances, and though they were still worried, they also knew that worrying further was pointless.
"Let's hope so," Elder Jingde sighed.
It had been several hundred years since they last saw Xuanqing.
During such a lengthy period, the impression of 'Xuanqing' as a human being in their hearts had gradually faded.
What remained… was a kind of reverent faith!
Meanwhile~
"Hehe~"
Huai Qingyun and Cang Qingyu couldn't stop their silly laughter, touched and happy about the reunion with their master.
Especially Cang Qingyu, he was immensely looking forward to seeing a higher, further view under the leadership of his master.
Several hundred years is a very long time for humans living in Mortal Dust, enough to see a feudal dynasty rise and fall.
But to entities like Cang Qingyu, representing the Will of Heaven and Earth, it was merely a speck in the ocean, a short nap in the long march of time.
Keep in mind,
It had formed its own consciousness only after billions of years!
Even Huai Qingyun, before being enlightened into a demon, was an Old locust tree that had lived for several hundred years.
"How enviable~" Jingde and Qianqing, the two old daoists, exchanged glances and reluctantly shook their heads with a wry smile.
…
…
Setting aside what the Five People in the Bluewater Realm might be thinking.
This moment,
In the vast Universe,
A giant figure of immense proportions, exuding an awe-inspiring aura, stood towering in the void.
Ancient Archon!!
Ancient Archon of the Chaos form.
Xuanqing now had reverted from his Body Transformation World state, back to his previous humanoid form.
Of course,
This Ancient Archon's humanoid body was large… about the size of six thousand planets combined.
Don't think this was an already massive size; it was still a far cry from what Xuanqing ideally wanted to achieve. He aspired to become like the sun, a dazzling presence.
"It feels somewhat empty!" Xuanqing opened his mouth and murmured softly.
Even though it was just a soft murmur, and even in the absence of any material medium to carry the sound, his voice still echoed throughout the entire void.
There is an old saying: The whispers of Ancient Archons… Perhaps this was describing Xuanqing's current state.
However,
Beneath this enormous humanoid exterior, the interior was incredibly vacant, except for the Bluewater Realm, the Great Thousand Worlds situated at the very center. The rest was empty and devoid of anything.
"The next step… is to refine a Great Thousand World and to condense the Chaos organs within my body,"
"Being in the Dark Realm, I might as well start with the heart."
Xuanqing thought to himself.
"
The reason for choosing to condense a Chaos Heart first was because the heart amongst the Chaos organs belongs to the "Law of Fire".
While the Law of Fire is hard to find in other places, in the Universe Space of this Dark Realm, they were countless.
Let's not talk about the whole vast and boundless Universe.
Just within the Milky Way Galaxy, there are 200 to 400 billion worlds that contain the "Great Thousand" Law of Fire!
Take note.
It's not two thousand to four thousand, but two hundred billion to four hundred billion!
I believe friends with a bit of cosmic knowledge have already guessed it.
That's right!
The worlds that contain the Great Thousand Law of Fire refer to the Perpetual Stars, which undergo nuclear fusion ceaselessly.
In the Milky Way Galaxy, the sun is but an incredibly inconspicuous Perpetual Star. It's just one among those two hundred to four hundred billion… A Great Thousand World that's ordinary beyond ordinary.
Don't look down on the Sun just because there are so many.
You should know one thing~
This insignificant sun is actually as big as "one million three hundred thousand Water Blue Stars".
One Sun = 1.3 million Water Blue Stars!
One Milky Way Galaxy has 200 to 400 billion suns!
And in the entire Universe, how many Milky Way Galaxies are there?
This… This is the terror of the vast Universe, the place that turns all creatures pale within the Endless Chaos.
….
Right when Xuanqing was lost in a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Suddenly.
A familiar Game Login Device notification sound rang out in his mind, and the content of the notification left him somewhat at a loss.
[Beep… It has been detected that the player has condensed an Origin Body. The Login Device will now grant the player full access permissions!]
[Beep… It has been detected that the player has condensed an Origin Body. The Login Device will now grant the player full access permissions!]
[Beep… It has been detected that the player has condensed an Origin Body. The Login Device will now grant the player full access permissions!]
Three successive notification sounds from the Login Device!
Permissions?
"Condense an Origin Body, grant full access permissions?"
Xuanqing felt confused.
What does this mean?
He only knew that once he had achieved an Immortal Body, the Login Device became completely bound to him, but he had no idea about this 'full access permissions' until now.
While he was still puzzled and clueless about its meaning.
Suddenly.
"Hmm…" Xuanqing let out a light hum.
A huge stream of information flooded into his True Spirit, so immense that even the world-transformed Chaos Shell seemed unable to bear it momentarily.
…
After a long while.
He finally digested the 'full access permissions' provided by this instance of the Login Device.
However.
The content it contained was utterly shocking—the full permissions were actually related to the 'source of the Login Device'.
All along.
Xuanqing felt like there was a thorn in his heart, but since he had no way of dealing with this thorn, he had been evading this matter all along during his practice.
This thorn… was the source of the Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device!
That's right.
Although he often consoled himself that if it weren't for the Login Device, he would have long since died of old age. Even his God Soul would have vanished because there's no reincarnation on Water Blue Star, and his True Spirit would disperse back into the Origin of Water Blue Star.
However, once some things appear, there are no 'buts' to speak of.
So!!
Sometimes Xuanqing wondered if the Login Device could be part of a conspiracy. For example, could it actually be transformed by some powerful being, who would simply erase his True Spirit and take his place once he reached a certain Realm?
Besides that.
He also considered whether the Login Device was like those in fantasy novels—created by a mighty future self? Something incredibly impressive made by himself for himself?
He thought about all these possibilities.
However.
The truth turned out to be beyond his expectations.
It wasn't any conspiracy by a powerful being, nor was it a creation by a more impressive future self…
"
Chapter 587: Chapter 404: Turns out I am a remnant of the former dynasty!_1
But it was….
The Origin!
The Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device, was actually a strand of the Origin of the Dark Realm's universe.
To be clear, it was not the origin of some planet or a small world, but a strand of the Origin of the entire Dark Realm Universe Space.
However.
This Origin of the universe of the Dark Realm was not the Origin of the current universe, but the Origin left over from the previous universe.
What does that mean?
The universe also has an age, a lifespan, and it can be said that everything, every entity, has a lifespan.
It's just that some lifespans are incredibly long, long enough to be negligible to creatures.
For example, the Dark Realm… that is, what humanity refers to as 'the Universe'
Has a lifespan of fourteen billion years.
The Universe's lifespan is a full fourteen billion years!
Such an extended lifespan is virtually indistinguishable from infinity for creatures.
One must know.
A Yuan Year is only a mere one hundred and twenty thousand years.
Fourteen billion years, how immense is that number?
Unfortunately… no matter how lengthy the eras, they will invariably wear away and eventually reach their end.
About one hundred and thirty-eight billion years ago.
The previous 'Universe World' greeted its fourteenth billion birthday, and on that very day, it exploded with joy.
The law of conservation of energy, even when applied to the lifespan of a universe, holds true.
As the lifespan of the Dark Realm Universe grew short and entropy increased, it could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded on the day of its 'birthday'.
After the explosion!!
It formed the current universe.
And the origin of his 'Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device' came from a strand of the willful Origin left behind after the explosion of the previous Dark Realm Universe.
It is called the 'Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device' simply because it was obtained by Xuanqing, and he just happened to be a cultivator.
If a lecher had received this strand of Origin, the name of this device might have been 'Multiple Children, Multiple Blessings System' or the 'Courting Beauties System' instead.
In short.
Such residual Origins of the universe have no names in themselves and do not need to be measured by names.
…
It was as Xuanqing researched information about the 'Origin of the universe' that.
Suddenly.
The prompt sounded once again.
[Friendly Reminder: The Origin of the Dark Realm Universe will fully merge with the host, and your physical body will return to the Origin!]
[Beep… Login Device disintegration in progress, countdown… 10… 9…]
He was not surprised by this outcome; after all, the Login Device was only a manifestation of the Dark Realm Universe's Origin, not merely an Immortal Cultivation rest Login Device.
But… but… what does it mean that the physical body will return to the Origin?
"Physical body returning to the Origin?"
Xuanqing murmured softly.
And at this moment.
He felt his Chaos Shell undergoing some unknown transformation, evolving towards a state that was formless and intangible.
Dispersing…
Body was dispersing…
…
After a few breaths' worth of time.
Xuanqing's physical form completely vanished within the starry sky, entirely gone.
However.
In his mind surged an incredibly strange sensation–he could still feel the starry sky.
As this thought crossed his mind…
Good fortune fell in line with his heart.
He realized.
"I am now this starry sky, this starry sky is me!"
"It turns out… the Xuanqing on Water Blue Star was just a projection born from 'me'; I am, in fact, the willful Origin left from the previous universe."
All sorts of thoughts flooded into Xuanqing's mind like strokes of divine insight.
"No wonder… no wonder the Cultivation Techniques I created were inherently about 'Devouring and Creating Worlds'; the principles weren't self-made at all but were recovering the Origin of the previous universe!"
In an instant.
All past events linked together, allowing him to understand that many of the supposed coincidences were not just by chance but were destiny ordained by the universe.
…
Time passed, unmeasured.
"No, this Universe Origin is influencing me!"
Suddenly.
Xuanqing awoke with a start.
He was not the Universe Origin.
Perhaps the former him was the Universe Origin remaining from the destroyed Dark Realm.
But the current him was definitely not the Universe Origin, and he would not be in the future, either.
"I am Xuanqing, born an ordinary human in the Great Yan Kingdom, one who has cultivated step by step!"
"The Origin of the Dark Realm Universe has merged into my body, Xuan, not the other way around!!"
Boom~
Xuanqing's eyes grew more resolute.
Gradually.
The feeling of 'I am the Origin' weakened in his mind, and without stirring up much commotion, it completely disappeared.
"Phew~"
Xuanqing breathed heavily, his eyes revealing a trace of lingering fear.
Just now.
He had almost become lost within the Origin.
It's worth mentioning.
The incident just now wasn't some contingency left behind by the 'Immortal Cultivation Login Device,' desiring to seize his body or any such trivial drama.
It was merely because his Real World physical body had transformed into a highly pure University Origin and endured a slight and insignificant side effect of Origin erosion.
If it had been the Cultivation Login Device, or the 'former Universe Origin' that had moved against him, despite being a half-step away from becoming a True Monarch, he would still have had no chance of resistance.
So… what just happened was an accident, not any plot or contingency!
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 588: Chapter 404: Turns out I am a remnant of the former dynasty!_2
Of course.
If his determination had not been strong enough just now, perhaps he really would have become a part of the starry sky in the Dark Universe of the Real World.
"I have already transformed into Origin Power, so how should I move?"
Xuanqing thought to himself.
But just as he had this thought.
Suddenly.
A terrifying sense of fatal crisis appeared in his heart, as if he would completely cease to exist if he really moved.
This feeling came very suddenly, but he was certain that if he really moved, he would certainly die, and his death would be utterly complete.
"What is going on?"
Xuanqing was puzzled in his heart.
But no matter how puzzled he was, there was no one to answer him, after all, both the Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device and his physical body had already returned to the Origin of the Universe.
Moments later.
"Let's sift through the Origin of the Universe to see if there is any information left over by the previous Origin of the Universe regarding this matter!"
Xuanqing closed his eyes, immersing himself in the information left behind by the Origin.
It was a very strange feeling.
Even though he had already become the Origin, presenting a state like a starry sky, he could still 'close his eyes' just like he could with a physical body, and even concentrate his mental energy.
…
Moments later.
"Found it!"
Xuanqing's expression was somewhat surprised and uncertain.
He had found the source of the 'hair-raising' feeling he had felt earlier, but the reason for it was somewhat hard for him to accept.
The reason for that hair-raising sensation of 'dying upon moving' was related to his current state.
He had already fully integrated with the 'Origin of the Universe'; the Origin of the Universe was him, and he was the Origin of the Dark Universe.
However.
This Origin of the Universe was from the 'previous dynasty,' yet he was living in the Dark Universe of the present.
What did that mean?
To give the simplest example.
Xuanqing's current situation in a feudal empire would be like a remnant of the previous dynasty, who by chance had survived into the current dynasty after the collapse of the former.
In such a case, if he hid well, naturally nothing would happen.
But once exposed, the court of the current dynasty would not allow such a remnant of the previous dynasty to exist, and would certainly mobilize all forces to exterminate this remnant of the previous dynasty.
"So does this mean that I am now a remnant of the previous dynasty, and if exposed, I will be obliterated by the entire Dark Realm?"
Xuanqing felt a slight panic in his heart.
It should be noted.
This was not the will of a small world's Heaven and Earth, nor a Perpetual Star, but the entire world of the Dark Universe.
However,
he quickly calmed down.
Because… ever since he had obtained the Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device, so much time had passed, and he had not yet been exposed.
Presumably, as long as he did not actively seek death, there should be no problem.
With this in mind.
Xuanqing temporarily set aside his concerns.
"It seems that I will have to be even more careful in the Real World from now on, I, this little remnant of the previous dynasty, must not be detected by the Origin of the Universe of the Real World, or else…"
"Let's see how humanity in the Bluewater Realm is doing," Xuanqing muttered softly.
Even though he, once again, was no longer a person, having become the Origin of the Universe and even the Origin from the previous dynasty.
Yet in his heart, he still considered himself to be human and wouldn't deny his inner identity just because of a change in form.
…..
The Bluewater Realm!
At this moment, there were no changes in the Bluewater Realm.
Even though Xuanqing's physical body had undergone another change, having just condensed the Chaos Shell, it had become the Origin of the Universe directly due to the Login Device.
But the Bluewater Realm was still the Bluewater Realm, only the geographical location of the Bluewater Realm had changed.
If it could be said that before, no matter how the Bluewater Realm changed, its location was always in the starry sky of the Dark Universe.
Now, the Bluewater Realm had been stripped from the reality of the Dark Realm.
The Solar System and its starry sky remained the same, but they no longer belonged to the Universe; rather, they belonged to Xuanqing, the Origin of the former Universe.
After obtaining this result,
he finally set his mind at ease.
"It also means, as long as the Origin of the Universe from the Real World doesn't discover me… neither Bluewater Realm nor I will face any issues!"
Xuanqing came to a conclusion about the situation.
…
After sorting out his safety issues, he began to ponder the changes to his Game Login Device.
The Login Device had now transformed into the Origin, and the original Character Panel, as well as the so-called recharge system, didn't matter anymore.
"However… keeping the Origin in the form of the Login Device does seem more familiar and comfortable!"
Xuanqing muttered softly to himself.
Thinking this, he silently commanded in his mind, "Revert to the original form of the Login Device!"
[Beep… Restored!]
[A Friendly Reminder: Master, you are now in control of the Origin. Please be careful not to be detected by the Dark Universe's Origin of the Universe. Do not use your real body for movements, devouring… and other actions!]
Listening to the prompt from the Game Login Device echoing in his mind and the situation reverted back.
Xuanqing's lips curled up slightly.
As expected.
He felt more comfortable in this state; having everything figured out for oneself would be truly tiring indeed.
"Query, have there been any changes to the game character?" Xuanqing silently thought.
[Searching… Answer: The essence of the game character is your projection, Master. It is formed by the power of the Origin and possesses a characteristic of 100% energy recovery.]
A hundred percent energy recovery?
Xuanqing pondered slightly.
And then.
He had an epiphany.
No wonder, no matter how he died in the Game, even if he detonated his God Soul, after resurrecting, there were no losses whatsoever.
Even… if equipment and Magic Treasures were put into the Game Backpack, they wouldn't fall out upon death and resurrection.
All this was because the so-called game character was merely a projection sent out by the previous Universe's Origin.
"In a certain sense, I am now somewhat similar to Hong Jun," Xuanqing suddenly murmured.
However.
After Hong Jun merged himself into the Heavenly Path of the Primordial World, he was still affected by the obsession of Pangu, who perished while opening up the world, eventually turning into a being that was 'half Pangu' and 'half Hong Jun'.
Xuanqing, on the other hand, had merged with the former Universe's Origin, and he had withstood the erosion of the Universe's Origin.
More precisely, it was because the Dark Universe had died of expended Lifespan, self-destructing without a trace of life left.
This was what gave Xuanqing the advantage.
It was different with the Primordial World.
Although Pangu perished and dissipated after creating the Primordial World due to the sneak attack by the Three Thousand Demon Gods,
Pangu's Physical Body, along with a thread of obsession, remained, and his body even became part of the world.
This led to Pangu having an extraordinary influence on the Primordial World even after his death.
In contrast, the death of the Universe's Origin was different; it was a normal demise due to entropy increase and exhaustion of lifespan, leaving behind only a weak trace of the Origin, and nothing else.
In such a case, Xuanqing did not end up like Hong Jun.
Having understood all this,
Xuanqing felt fortunate in his heart.
He indeed picked up a huge bargain. He had inherited the wealth left behind after the former Universe's Origin died from increased entropy.
Now, what he needed to do was to strengthen the trace of the Origin he had turned into.
One day, he might completely consume and replace the Real World's Dark Universe's Origin.
Though the task was challenging indeed!!
"To continue to grow in the Endless Chaos, simply relying on hiding is not enough; I will inevitably be discovered one day!"
"Only by becoming more powerful can I protect myself if the Universe's Origin discovers me in the future, and possibly… even replace the current era with that of the past!"
A hint of sharpness flickered in Xuanqing's eyes.
Of course.
Given that he was now in the state of Origin, this sharpness was just an imagined concept.
"Enter the Game!"
[Beep… Projecting the Origin…]
…
…..
The Endless Chaos World.
The Northern Galaxy Domain!
Chapter 589: Chapter 405: Escorting a Toad-like Creature._1
Northern Galaxy Domain!
In the dojo of Pan God Peak.
A young man, clad in a long robe and holding a feather duster, radiating an overwhelmingly powerful aura, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hu~"
Xuanqing took a deep breath.
He could feel that his game character had not changed in the slightest and had not been affected by the changes to his real-world physical body.
If his game character had also become the Cosmic Origin, then it would have truly been game over for him inside the main base of the Ancient God Clan. He would have had to consider whether to delete his account and start over.
"After completely controlling the Origin, the origin physical body of the real world will no longer sync with this game world."
"No, it's no longer just a 'game world.' According to the information left by the Origin, this game character is a projection of the Origin."
"And controlling this projection is the Cosmic Origin of the real world!"
Xuanqing murmured softly.
In this way.
Compared to before, he actually hadn't changed much.
The only change… was that his real-world physical body had merged with the Origin and had become the Solar System's Cosmic Origin, unable to move at all.
Even!
Everyday actions must also be cautious to avoid alerting the true Cosmic Origin.
"Open Character Panel!"
Xuanqing silently recited in his heart.
[Name: Xuanqing
[Faction: Ancient God Clan
[Cultivation: Half-step Chaos True Monarch
[Rating: 99W
[Ingot: 96.7 trillion
[Chaos Point Balance: 13
On the Character Panel, his game character's cultivation had evolved from being a Chaos Immortal to a Half-step Chaos True Monarch.
The rating had also increased tenfold from ninety-nine thousand to a stunning nine hundred ninety-nine thousand.
After merging with the Origin.
He had realized that this so-called rating was not simply about the level of combat power but rather just a measure of the contained energy levels.
"After the explosion of the previous Cosmic Origin, the only things that remained were the permissions of the Origin, nothing else."
"To become stronger, I still need to rely on my game character, to rely on my own efforts."
Xuanqing looked at his own Character Panel.
Now, Ingots had become of very limited use to him.
With the exception of second-order Ancient Archon Origin (Fake) and the Devouring Heaven Fruit, whatever could be exchanged with Ingots was not much valued in the Endless Chaos World.
"There's no rush for Chaos Points; first, I need to raise my cultivation level. Half-step Chaos True Monarch… after all, is still somewhat inadequate."
Half-step Chaos True Monarch.
Forget the Ancient God Clan with their incredibly strong bloodlines.
Even among the smaller forces outside, a mere Half-step Chaos True Monarch was just an expendable existence.
To gain a foothold in the Northern Galaxy Domain, one at least had to be a real Chaos True Monarch.
If one wanted to have a certain degree of influence, being newly advanced to True Monarch wouldn't suffice; one needed to be in the middle stage of True Monarch, or even later stages.
Therefore.
The task before him was to break through from being a Half-step Chaos True Monarch and metamorphose into a genuine Chaos True Monarch.
"To break through to a Chaos True Monarch, one must condense one of the Chaotic Five Organs!"
"According to the original plan, after condensing the Chaos Shell to achieve Half-step Chaos True Monarch, I would refine a Perpetual Star in the cosmos of the real world to serve as a heart and metamorphose into a true Chaos True Monarch."
Xuanqing pondered.
However.
Now there had been a change of plans.
Originally, he had planned to return to the real world and, after condensing the Chaos Shell, to refine the sun as well.
In doing so, he would not only have become a Chaos True Monarch but would also have secured another servitor ancestor from the Chiying Bird Clan.
Nonetheless.
Now that his physical body had become the Origin, although he had fully mastered the 'Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device,' he could not move at all, nor could he make any significant movements, lest he provoke a backlash from the Cosmic Origin.
What to do?
This question lingered in his mind.
After pondering moments later.
Xuanqing said in a deep voice, "In that case, I shall proceed as per the original plan."
"Only this time, it won't be the physical body that takes action, but instead the game character's projection that will complete the refinement of the Perpetual Star."
The game character would enter the Dark Realm, which is the cosmos of the real world, to complete the refinement of the Perpetual Star, thereby condensing the Heart of Chaos and transforming into a Chaos True Monarch!
But.
There was another problem.
That is… how would the game character enter the Dark Realm?
In the Endless Chaos, the Dark Realm has always been a forbidden land, mostly used to exile prisoners.
It's rare for creatures of the Endless Chaos to enter the Dark Realm.
Because the Dark Realm mostly consists of void, and without the presence of Chaotic Qi, it's fatal to the creatures of the Endless Chaos.
Without Chaos Energy, it's like fish out of water, like ordinary humans deprived of air; they simply cannot survive for long.
"First, I shall check the mission hall for any official channels to enter the Dark Realm. If all else fails… I'll enter stealthily."
Soon.
Xuanqing made his decision.
…
…
Ancient Main Peak.
As the main peak where Ancestor Huang of the Ancient God Clan resided, it was also the location of the common areas of the Ancient Clan.
Scripture Pavilion, Martial Arts Arena, Mission Hall, Enforcement Hall… etc., all these institutions were established around the Ancient Drought Peak.
This moment.
Mission Hall.
There was a bustling crowd, with many Ancient Gods coming and going in a hurry.
In the Ancient God Clan.

Chapter 590: Chapter 405: Escorting a Toad-like Creature._2
"
Eating just the basic sustenance allowance was far from enough to cover the consumption required for cultivation.
To make rapid progress, to widen the gap with other ancient gods from the same period, the only way was to diligently earn contribution points in the task hall.
"Do you have any missions going to the Dark Realm?"
"The Dark Realm? Please wait…."
Upon hearing the words 'Dark Realm.'
The ancient god behind the counter couldn't help but look somewhat astonished.
Nonetheless.
His duty was to register and look up missions, so since the other party had asked, he was obliged to carry out his responsibility.
Subsequently.
This ancient god used his identity token to tap and draw on a miniature array on the counter, as if he were operating a search for something.
"There are two Dark Realm missions available, please present your identity token to check!" the ancient god behind the counter said.
"Here is my identity token!"
Xuanqing handed over his identity token.
Moments later.
Two mission details appeared on it.
[First Order Escort Mission: Half-step Chaos True Monarchs eligible! (200 points)]
[Second Order Escort Mission: Mid-stage True Monarchs of Chaos eligible! (500 points)]
It seemed like two missions.
But for Xuanqing, only the 'First Order Escort Mission' was suitable; his cultivation was just at the level of a Half-step Chaos True Monarch.
As for the second mission, he ignored it outright, for he wasn't even a True Monarch of Chaos yet and certainly not qualified to accept a mission meant for those in the middle stage.
"I accept the First Order Escort Mission!"
Xuanqing handed his identity token back to the ancient god behind the counter.
Only those in the task hall had the authority to inquire about and assign missions.
"Okay."
The ancient god behind the counter nodded and then added a reminder,
"The mission has been issued. In three days, go to the Enforcement Hall to collect your escort target and deliver it to the destination. Remember to trigger the seal and report it on your identity token."
"Additionally, a word of advice: the aura in the Dark Realm is murky, avoid staying too long."
This ancient god had seen that Xuanqing's identity token did not have any mission records and that the Qi on the mountain was merely of a Half-step Chaos True Monarch.
It is worth mentioning that.
The identity tokens of the ancient god clan could, in most cases, be concealed at will.
Xuanqing was on this trip to take advantage of the convenience the mission provided to leave the Ancient Clan's dwelling and return to the Dark Realm to refine a perpetual star, naturally not intending to reveal his identity.
Therefore, this ancient god was not aware of Xuanqing's status as the Master of Pangu Peak.
"Mm, thank you for the information."
Xuanqing thanked him with a bow of his fist.
…..
Three days later.
Enforcement Hall.
Xuanqing received a creature resembling a toad from the hands of another ancient god.
According to the ancient god of the Enforcement Hall, this toad-like creature had ruthlessly killed a juvenile member of their ancient god clan.
It was captured alive by the people of the ancient god clan. Instead of just killing it, they decided to exile it to the Dark Realm to let it slowly perish under the influence of the murky Qi, as a deterrent punishment.
In the Endless Chaos World, such a method was akin to being 'buried alive' in the Mortal Dust realm of the Water Blue Star, possessing significant deterrence.
"Young clansman, once you reach your destination, make sure to check that the seal is successfully activated," the member of the Enforcement Hall urged earnestly.
"Yes!"
Xuanqing nodded in agreement.
This moment.
The toad-like creature was locked in a black box, its expression dull and spiritless, emanating an air of despair.
It's worth noting that there was a collar around its neck, which astonishingly looked exactly like the one on Ancestor Chi Ying.
Afterwards.
Carrying the black box with the toad-like creature.
Xuanqing hurried to the teleportation platform of the Ancient Main Peak.
To reach the Dark Realm, one either had to use the teleportation platform or find a naturally formed teleportation array in the wilderness, which also had a certain chance of leading to the Dark Realm.
However, these naturally formed arrays in the wild were very short-lived, and their locations constantly changed, not to mention the significant dangers involved.
This was also why he wanted to utilize the tasks of the ancient god clan, so his game character could return to the Dark Realm.
….
Upon arriving at the teleportation platform.
Xuanqing, holding the black box, stood in the center of the platform.
As the guards activated the formation, a bright light surged, and Xuanqing's body vanished into the Endless Chaos.
….
Elsewhere.
"
Ancient Main Peak's Ancient Hall.
Ancestor Huang's expression turned towards the direction of the teleportation platform.
After a brief contemplation,
he waved his right hand, summoning a silhouette from the air, and commanded, "Huang Yi, go and protect that child's path. Only lend a hand if his life is in danger."
"Yes!"
The shadow clasped his fists and nodded slightly in agreement.
The next moment,
his figure turned into stardust and vanished inside the Ancient Main Peak's hall to reappear on the teleportation platform.
Whoosh~
The teleportation platform once again erupted with light.
Facing this scene,
the guardians acted as if they saw nothing out of the ordinary, still standing straight and guarding the teleportation platform.
….
….
Dark Realm.
Universe Space.
Swish~
With a ripple in space, a figure holding a Duster in his right hand and a black box in his left, wearing a robe, slowly appeared.
For the first time,
Xuanqing was for the first time, appearing in the Universe Space of the Real World as his Game character.
"After merging with the Origin, although my physical body can't move, it's much safer, and there's no need to worry about being attacked by others when logging into the Game."
"Moreover, my Game character can still achieve 100% energy recycling in the Dark Universe, meaning a lossless Resurrecting on the Spot."
Xuanqing looked towards the deep dark space, feeling somewhat emotional.
As the saying goes, good fortune may lie within bad luck, and misfortune may be where good luck hides; how can one tell if it's a blessing or a curse until the very end?
"First, let's complete the mission," Xuanqing touched the black box in his hand, activated the Rule of Law, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
…
Right after Xuanqing disappeared,
Hum~
Space rippled once again.
A black shadow appeared in the starry sky.
"What a turbid world."
Huang Yi frowned, feeling his Physical Body and God Soul slowly eroded by the turbid atmosphere of the Dark Realm.
"Water Realm!"
Swish~
Boundless Water spread out from Huang Yi as the center, enveloping the entire starry sky, its size as vast as a Perpetual Star.
Even more bizarre was,
that this colossal water world did not produce any Gravitation, as if the fundamental rules of the Dark Universe had no effect on this massive orb of water.
After opening the Water Realm,
the shadow's brows relaxed.
He glanced in the direction where Xuanqing had disappeared, and then leisurely followed behind.
Ancestor Huang had Commanded that unless that child faced a Crisis, he only needed to silently follow.
…
Xuanqing, on the other hand,
was able to quickly find a suitable place for sealing with his ability to manipulate Space rules.
This was an inconspicuous Perpetual Star, slightly older than usual, over eight billion years old, having lived the greater part of its life.
Step~
Entering the core of the Perpetual Star,
Xuanqing opened the black box, releasing the toad-like Creature within.
"Hek…"
The toad-like Creature, just released, was enveloped by the turbid cosmic energy, instantly letting out a scream.
For a Creature from the Endless Chaos, the Universe Space of the Dark Realm was terrifying since, aside from cosmic radiation's turbidity, it lacked even the most rudimentary Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.
After the screams, it either grew tired or slightly adapted to its new surroundings,
the toad-like Creature glared resentfully at Xuanqing.
"Hehe!"
Seeing this,
Xuanqing smiled faintly,
He had learned from the Enforcement Hall that this toad-like being, through its ignorance, dared to try to imprison a juvenile Ancient Archon to seize the Ancient Archon's bloodline.
When facing such matters, the Ancient God Clan always responded with the most ruthless measures, imprisoning it in the Dark Realm, to let the turbid energy of the Dark Realm slowly erode and annihilate it.
This… to a Creature of the Endless Chaos, was a punishment more terrifying than death itself.

Chapter 591: Chapter 406: The Shock in Huang Yi's Heart, Is This.. a Pervert?_1
"You can just stay here and slowly perish,"
Xuanqing glanced at the toad creature.
Afterward,
he took out his identity token and swept it over the activated formation, recording it within, and only then did he consider the task complete.
Buzz~
The identity token trembled slightly, as if verifying something, and in a while, it gained an additional two hundred Contribution Points.
"Two hundred Contribution Points in hand,"
Xuanqing's lips curved into a slight smile.
Although his main purpose was to return to the Dark Realm to devour Perpetual Stars for practice, obtaining two hundred Contribution Points along the way was a very fine thing indeed.
With the task done,
next… it was time to pursue the goal of his journey.
….
…
A vast and empty starry sky.
Besides a giant, fiery-red Perpetual Star in the very center, nothing else existed.
This was the Solar System.
The moment Xuanqing stepped into the Solar System,
a mysterious sense of connection surged in his heart, as if everything here was so familiar, even as if it was part of his body.
"To control a projection entering one's own body, so this is the sensation!"
A look of novelty appeared on Xuanqing's face.
He had entered his own body.
However,
he could also feel something inside his body, akin to a chronic malady, constantly threatening his body.
The Perpetual Star.
It was the sole remaining Perpetual Star in this starry sky… the sun!
Including Ancestor Chi Ying, who was merged and imprisoned within the sun, everything was so vividly clear.
"That Ancestor Chi Ying, being at least a late-stage True Monarch creature, is no wonder it has been lively despite being eroded by impure air for so long!"
Xuanqing whispered softly to himself.
No matter what cultivation level Ancestor Chi Ying had, once he refined the sun into the heart of his Chaos Shell, it would become his servant.
At the next moment,
he once again arrived at the sun.
With a thought,
he plunged into the core of the sun.
…
"Roar~ Descendants of the Ancient God Clan, if you have the guts, kill me… you coward… you… huh?"
"Huh… you're that… that little one?"
Ancestor Chi Ying sensed the commotion, twisting its body again, spewing trash talk solely to vent its loneliness.
However,
as it recognized the Ancient God Clan member reappearing before it, its entire being expressed disbelief.
It was that young Ancient God from before, the naive one who had tried to slay it countless times, yet stubbornly persisted.
"Silence!"
Xuanqing frowned slightly, his whisk sweeping lightly across.
Spurt~
The whisk, infused with the power of Chaos, struck Ancestor Chi Ying, and just a light wave extinguished it instantly.
Of course,
with the endless energy of the star, Ancestor Chi Ying would not die, and Xuanqing had no intention of actually killing it.
"Seal… Suppress!"
Xuanqing murmured softly, the light emanating from the whisk cast a banishing suppression force.
Instantly,
Ancestor Chi Ying, which would have immediately recovered, found its reconstitution process extremely slowed.
Under the force of the Chaos-infused banishment, it wouldn't be able to recover for hundreds of years.
All was finally quiet.
Without the noise from Ancestor Chi Ying,
Xuanqing felt much more at peace. He sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Begin the practice!"
…
One year flew by in the blink of an eye.
However,
"Sigh~"
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
After a year of practice, the progress was extremely slow. To condense the sun into the heart of the Chaos Shell, he feared it would take tens of thousands of years to accomplish.
"The power of the star is too vast; had I known, I would have earned more Chaos Points before returning to the Dark Realm for practice."
Xuanqing shook his head.
It was of no use to regret now; he had to find a solution to this problem.
At present,
he faced several choices.
Either to practice slowly, whether it took ten thousand years or just a thousand—it did not matter much to the Ancient God Clan, as time had little significance.
Or, he could return to the Dark Realm first, wait to amass a large number of Chaos Points, and then figure out a way to use the time acceleration function for practice.
"The first option requires too much time; as for the latter… who knows how long it will be before I find a suitable escort mission,"
Xuanqing thought to himself.
Neither option was what he desired; he could only ponder if there were any other solutions.
After much thought,
suddenly,
a spark of insight flashed through his mind, giving rise to a novel idea.
Xuanqing's gaze turned to a mass of blood and flesh nearby, the slowly recovering Ancestor Chi Ying.
Plainly,
whether it was recharging incense for Ingots or recharging Chaos Crystal Stones for Chaos Points, it was a utilization of energy by the Origin.
So… could he recharge the flesh of Ancestor Chi Ying?
With his current level of cultivation, he could clearly sense that there were quite a few Chaos Points contained within that slowly regenerating mass of flesh.
Certainly,
even after so many years of erosion, even though its realm had fallen to just half-step chaos, Ancestor Chi Ying still possessed significant power of Chaos.
In that case…
Xuanqing raised an eyebrow and stepped over to the flesh of Ancestor Chi Ying.
With a thought,
the God Soul of his game character emerged from the body, enveloping the flesh of Ancestor Chi Ying and then activated the Origin privileges.
"Recharge!"
[Beep…0.001 Origin Point!]
Chapter 592: Chapter 406: The Shock in Huang Yi's Heart, Is This.. a Pervert?_2
Is it really possible?
Feeling the almost imperceptible increase in chaos power within his originary body, Xuanqing was somewhat surprised.
It's just that the amount is too little, merely 0.001 points. To accumulate enough origin points to use time acceleration, it might not be faster than cultivating in earnest.
"Let's try recharging after letting this Ancestor Chi Ying recover!"
A thought crossed Xuanqing's mind.
Even if Ancestor Chi Ying fully recovered, under the suppression collar around his neck, he was still merely at half-step chaos.
With his current level of cultivation, he could completely suppress all aspects and need not worry about resistance.
"Release!" Xuanqing commanded in a low voice, lifting the suppression that had been placed upon him.
The next moment.
Buzz~
Without the bindings, the thoroughly disintegrated flesh and blood of Ancestor Chi Ying rapidly coalesced, eventually returning to the form of the Chiying Bird.
"You…" Ancestor Chi Ying was about to say something.
Suddenly.
A powerful force struck, and he, having just awoken, plunged once again into darkness.
This time.
Without waiting for Ancestor Chi Ying to disintegrate into dust.
Xuanqing directly enveloped him with his God Soul, and mobilizing the cosmic origin authority of his originary body, instinctively muttered in his mind:
"Recharge!"
[Beep… 0.5 origin point!]
"Not bad!"
Xuanqing's lips curled upward slightly.
Indeed, just as he speculated, the chaos power contained within the blood mist of Ancestor Chi Ying could be captured by the cosmic origin of his originary body.
The so-called "recharge" was essentially the energy captured by the quantifier (cosmic origin).
"Ancestor Chi Ying is truly a high-ranking practitioner; even though he has fallen to half-step chaos due to erosion, he still contains so many chaos points."
Xuanqing marveled.
One must know.
Originally, when he was outside the Primordial in The Chaos, after slaying those Lesser Demon Gods of the Chaos Realm, he only gained 1 chaos point.
And those half-step chaos practitioners, after being slain, yielded nothing at all.
"Now the problem is solved; one chaos point can accelerate one year's time. It won't be long before I can accumulate enough chaos points."
….
Splat~
After killing Ancestor Chi Ying again.
Xuanqing began calculating the time of his resurrection and the changes following his slaying and recharging.
"After recharging following the kill, the resurrection speed has slowed down a bit, waiting for the Perpetual Star, the sun, to gather energy anew for Ancestor Chi Ying."
Time passed by every second.
Just a bit more than half an hour later.
Finally.
Ancestor Chi Ying's physical body recovered once more, and his eyes, widening, stared intently at Xuanqing as if he could devour him with his gaze.
Tsk tsk~
It must be said.
"Out of sight, out of mind," this phrase does apply to all creatures.
Presumably, Ancestor Chi Ying had somewhat forgotten that numbing feeling from being slain countless times by Xuanqing.
"It seems that recharging has no effect on Ancestor Chi Ying."
Xuanqing's eyes grew brighter.
The way he looked at Ancestor Chi Ying was as if he were gazing at some diluted treasure.
This moment.
Meeting Xuanqing's gaze.
For some reason.
Ancestor Chi Ying couldn't help but shudder; he was instantly reminded of his previous encounter.
Last time, this ancient archon was like a madman, killing him over and over again, showing a sense of enjoyment despite it being utterly pointless.
"What… what are you going to do?"
In response to Ancestor Chi Ying, a flash of azure light passed, followed by his transformation into a mist of blood. Before he could explode, the Origin captured it, converting it into chaos points.
[Beep… 0.5 chaos points!]
….
And so.
With the continual death and resurrection of Ancestor Chi Ying, Xuanqing's chaos points gradually increased, bit by bit.
Meanwhile.
As Xuanqing was slaying Ancestor Chi Ying, he was pondering in his heart.
Am I essentially farming?
Sow an Ancestor Chi Ying and then…., reap every half hour, gaining 0.5 chaos points each time.
If…
If I were to sow another one?
Does that mean the Chaos Points that can be harvested have doubled?
Of course.
The reason he was able to slay Ancestor Chi Ying and convert it into Chaos Points was because the location was within the Solar System.
And the expanse of the Solar System is precisely where Xuanqing's Origin of the Universe resides.
If he were outside the Solar System, like the location of that 'Toad'-like creature he planted not long ago, it wouldn't work.
"So to say, to complete the planting, the perpetual star must be relocated into the Solar System."
In a sense.
What his physical body, transformed into the Origin of the Universe, absorbs is not Ancestor Chi Ying, but the Perpetual Star sun that revives Chi Ying Bird time after time.
Therefore.
Xuanqing has now reached a conclusion.
As long as the energy of the Perpetual Star sun isn't exhausted, he can use the continuous slaying of Ancestor Chi Ying as a medium to obtain high-tier energy, providing him with a steady stream of Chaos Points.
"Tsk tsk~ That makes Ancestor Chi Ying nothing but a Lucky Cat!"
Xuanqing's brow twitched.
Right at this moment,
Ancestor Chi Ying congealed once again,
"It's useless, all useless, how many times do you intend to kill me?" Ancestor Chi Ying murmured, his pupils filled with inescapable fear.
Scared~
He truly was scared.
Mainly because he did not know that Xuanqing was doing it for the Chaos Points.
In the eyes of Ancestor Chi Ying, the Ancient Archon standing before him was like a deranged madman, who knew that killing him was impossible and there was no benefit to it, yet tortured him over and over again.
To take pleasure in torturing me?
Even the Ancient Gods of the Dungu lineage didn't have such a perverted nature.
Indeed.
Ancestor Chi Ying had now come to regard Xuanqing as a twisted being who took joy in killing creatures, only such an explanation could make sense of the other's actions.
"Why do you treat me this way, I… I was wrong, I shouldn't have killed your Ancient Archon Clan."
"Woo woo woo…."
Such a venerable figure, one who remained unyielding even under the murky erosion of the Dark Realm, now broke down and wept under Xuanqing's relentless, endless onslaught.
Each time Ancestor Chi Ying revived, his state would be reset, and with every subsequent death, he would relive the feeling of dying all over again.
This terrifying sensation wouldn't lessen just because it happened more often – no immunity would develop.
…
And so,
In the collapsing despair of Ancestor Chi Ying… time gradually passed.
A day… two days… a month… two months…
One year!
Two years!
Five Years!!!
…
In a starry sky not far from the Solar System.
A shadow hovered silently, quietly observing everything happening within the Solar System.
On the surface, the shadow seemed utterly indifferent, but a close observer could detect deep shock in the depths of its eyes.
"What grudge does this child bear against that Chiying Bird to do such a thing?"
Huang Yi was profoundly shaken.
…
The scene shifts back to two years earlier~
As a Protector sent by Ancestor Huang to safeguard Xuanqing, he watched over silently once he saw Xuanqing arrive in the Solar System.
At first.
He thought Xuanqing had some ties with the Chiying Bird imprisoned on the sun, even speculating that his mission in the Dark Realm might be for the other's sake.
Just when Huang Yi hesitated over whether to intervene if Xuanqing attempted to release the Chiying Bird,
He saw Xuanqing take action, slaying the Chiying Bird.
Relieved at this turn of events, Huang Yi sighed.
However.
What followed.
Made Huang Yi somewhat perplexed.
Killing the Chiying Bird over and over, waiting every time for its revival, the cycle repeated endlessly.
This continued for a full five years!
Five years… Do you understand what those years were like for the Chiying Bird?
Forget the Chiying Bird.
Even just watching from the side, Huang Yi felt chills!
"Could it be that this child has a damaged soul?" Huang Yi murmured softly, his eyes flickering with doubts.
As he wavered over whether to appear and check,
Finally!
It stopped!
Chapter 593: Chapter 407: Return to Endless Chaos!_1
This moment.
After amassing a total of "twenty thousand" Chaos Points, Xuanqing finally stopped his continuous action of slaughtering Ancestor Chi Ying.
Twenty thousand Chaos Points meant that Ancestor Chi Ying was slaughtered forty thousand times!
Such repetitive actions of slaying, even if he had been running a fish stall at Da Run Fa for twenty years, he couldn't endure it, let alone slaying the Chiying Bird.
"Twenty thousand Chaos Points are more than enough for cultivation," Xuanqing said with tired eyes, as this task was far more tedious than cultivation itself.
Compared to Xuanqing,
Ancestor Chi Ying, who had been slaughtered forty thousand times, was utterly despondent. A trace of drool hung from the corner of its mouth and, surprisingly, its face bore a silly smile.
Hey~ this creature is still smiling, it must have gone dumb!
"Tch tch~ I'll spare you for now. If there is a chance in the future, I'll find you some company!"
Seeing the silly smiling Ancestor Chi Ying,
Xuanqing couldn't help but shake his head.
If that toad-like creature hadn't fully integrated into the sealed Perpetual Star, he would have liked to bring it to the sun as well, then he could have enjoyed a double harvest.
After that!
He left the Solar System, planning to find another Perpetual Star to use for practice.
By now, Xuanqing had realized… he could convert the power of Perpetual Stars into Chaos Points by "slaughtering Chaos Creatures."
And within his Origin of the Universe, there was only the sun, which naturally he wouldn't use for cultivation, killing the goose that laid golden eggs. It would be better to keep it… for later, to continue farming Chaos Points.
Moreover.
He had another idea in mind.
That was to cultivate a subordinate at the level of a Chaos Immortal who could stay on the sun and continuously slaughter Ancestor Chi Ying, which would be the equivalent of having a goose that laid golden eggs constantly!
…
…..
One month later.
After continuous Space Travel,
Xuanqing finally found a rather vacant Star Domain.
This Star Domain, other than the central Perpetual Star, had almost no other celestial bodies visible. It was ideal for cultivation.
"Heaven Devouring Saintly Art!"
Xuanqing's body trembled.
In an instant.
His body began to expand continuously, transformed into a Chaos Shell, and extended countless tentacles that attached to the Perpetual Star.
He planned to devour and refine this Perpetual Star and condense a 'Chaos Heart' within the Chaos Shell. He would be able to transform from a Half-step Chaos True Monarch to a true Chaos True Monarch in one stroke.
Humming~
The Origin of the Perpetual Star, including the star's matter, slowly flowed into Xuanqing's body.
"This Perpetual Star is slightly smaller than the sun, but to completely refine it, it will take at least eight thousand years."
"It's time to use the function of the Origin of the universe," he mused, squinting his eyes.
The next moment.
"Use a 100-year time acceleration."
[Di…-100 Chaos Points!]
As the Chaos Points were deducted, a force of time law capable of affecting a Chaos True Monarch descended upon Xuanqing.
Visible to the naked eye,
the unknown Perpetual Star, as its Origin and matter were being absorbed in large amounts, slowly shrank.
Humming~
The surrounding cosmic space rippled with dead waves.
The reason for this was the change in gravity caused by the change in mass of the Perpetual Star.
Xuanqing chose this Perpetual Star because it was desolate around it, so the change in the star's gravity would not cause other guardian planets to be drawn over, affecting his cultivation.
…
Moments later~
Inside Xuanqing's body,
the Chaos Shell, once empty,
suddenly,
a bright light appeared in the chest area.
Then,
the light slowly transformed and eventually condensed into a heart-shaped fireball, emanating wild 'Law of Fire'.
"The embryonic form of the Chaos Heart has condensed; now, it just needs to grow stronger!"
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
After feeling the state inside his body, he knew the direction for further spiritual practice.
After a short rest,
"Continue practicing!"
"Use a 100-year time acceleration."
[Di…-100 Chaos Points!]
….
"Use a 100-year time acceleration."
[Di..-100 Chaos Points!]
…
As the Origin Points decreased,
the Chaos Heart within Xuanqing's chest became increasingly solidified, and the Chaos Laws contained within it grew even more immense.
In this manner,
just like his past cultivation sessions, with continuous use of time acceleration, the time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye!
Five Years had gone by.
…
At last!
After the ninetieth instance of a 100-year time acceleration, the cultivation phase of the Chaos Heart reached its final stage.
Within the Chaos Shell,
Thump!
Thump~thump!
Each heartbeat, carrying the tremendous Law of Fire, radiated light and heat that provided the Physical Body with Chaos power.
At this moment,
Xuanqing looked down.
At the Perpetual Star that was only the size of his waist, a glint sparkled in his eyes.
"Use a 500-year time acceleration."
[Di…-500 Chaos Points!]
In an instant,
the already small Perpetual Star shrank rapidly, and the last bit of Origin, along with the star's matter, was completely devoured!
Boom!
He had broken through.
A vast Law of Fire surged within Xuanqing.
When he had condensed the Chaos Shell, it signified that he had the tool to wield 'Chaos power.'
And within the Chaos Shell, condensing a 'Chaos Heart' with the Law of Fire signified having the energy to use the tool.
Of course,
that was still just the prerequisite for becoming a 'Chaos True Monarch.'
To truly become a Chaos True Monarch, he had to undergo the baptism of the Thunder Tribulation of Law of the Endless Chaos, completing the metamorphosis into a True Monarch during the tribulation.

"Hoo~"
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
With a single thought.
"Open Character Panel."
[Name: Xuanqing
[Faction: Ancient God Clan
[Cultivation: Half-Step Chaos True Monarch (Has not crossed the Heavenly Tribulation of Law)
[Rating: 99.999M
[Ingot: 96.7 Trillion
[Chaos Point Balance: 10012
On the Character Panel.
There was no change in his Cultivation, still a Half-Step Chaos True Monarch, but now it had an additional note, only waiting to return to the Endless Chaos to undergo the Thunder Tribulation of Law, then he could metamorphose into a Chaos True Monarch.
The Ingot section hadn't changed either.
Ever since Xuanqing broke through to become a Chaos Immortal, he hadn't valued ingots as much as before. Even over the many years, he hadn't collected any incense offerings from the Bluewater Realm.
It was the [Chaos Points] section that changed.
Initially, he had only twelve points. Later, by continuously slaying Ancestor Chi Ying and spending five years, he had just now converted twenty thousand Chaos Points from the sun, that perpetual star.
Now, after practicing and consuming ten thousand Chaos Points to successfully condense the Heart of Chaos, he was left with ten thousand and twelve points.
The data changes on the quantifier's Character Panel were the ones listed above.
…
Besides that.
His Physical Body had grown as massive as a perpetual star, its tremendous mass causing the surrounding Space to twist due to the gravitational pull.
With his current combat strength.
Even if he were to rely purely on his Physical Body, shattering a perpetual star with a punch… would be a piece of cake.
"With my current strength, it might be impossible to Space Travel with a perpetual star in tow, but merely transporting it should be feasible," he thought.
"This means that to complete the Farming Plan, I still need to cultivate subordinates of the level of Chaos Immortals," Xuanqing contemplated.
After the previous incident on the sun where he slew Ancestor Chi Ying, he had taken to heart this method of acquiring 'Chaos Points'.
Perhaps.
Deep within the true spirit of every person from the Great Yan Country, there lies a farming gene, and even though he now bore the blood of an Ancient God, he could not escape the fervor for farming.
He wanted to complete the 'Farming Plan'!
A perpetual star that provides energy creatures that activate the energy, along with subordinates to slay those creatures—these three elements were indispensable.
As for creatures, it was easy, the creatures like that toad-like being, as well as Ancestor Chi Ying, were readily available.
As for subordinates… it wasn't a big problem either.
The time acceleration function below that of a Chaos Immortal merely required consuming Ingots, which to him now, had lost much of their significance.
The only difficulty… was the perpetual stars!
Currently.
The Origin of the Universe that his true self had become controlled only the Solar System, and in the Solar System, there was only one perpetual star, the sun.
Unable to move while being the Origin of the Universe, the only way to acquire additional perpetual stars was to move them from elsewhere.
For Xuanqing at his current strength, it was effortless to shatter a perpetual star with a punch, but to carry such a massive object as a star and perform ultra-long-distance Space Travel was incredibly difficult.
At least… it was something a Chaos True Monarch was incapable of achieving.
You might object!
If Space Travel isn't an option, can't the star just be moved using pure speed?
Impossible!
Instead of expecting to move the perpetual star with pure speed, it would be better to increase one's Cultivation level first.
The distance between planets is already vast, let alone between perpetual stars, where distances are measured in 'light-years.'
For instance, the Perpetual Star closest to the sun, 'Proxima Centauri,' is a whole '4.2 light-years' away.
What does that mean?
You'd need to travel at the speed of light for more than four years.
Xuanqing tested his speed, and while it's suppressed in the Endless Chaos, even in the Dark Universe, it's merely close to the speed of light.
Therefore.
Without being able to Space Travel with perpetual stars, the 'Farming' plan would have to be shelved for the time being.
"There's no rush for the Farming Plan," he thought.
"It has been ten years since the last escort mission. I've been away from the clan for too long."
"Moreover, now that I have successfully condensed the Heart of Chaos, I need to return to the clan's Martial Arts Arena and undergo the Thunder Tribulation of Law for True Monarchs."
Thinking this within his heart.
Xuanqing's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, employing the Rule of Space to traverse back along the route he had come.
…
Not far away,
Huang Yi, who had witnessed all of this, finally understood Xuanqing's purpose for coming to the Dark Realm.
"So the true purpose of this child is to practice in the Dark Realm!"
Huang Yi smacked his lips, unable to help but exclaim, "This child has astonishing talent, but his nature is just too brutal~"
When he thought about how the other, before beginning his practice, even intended to cruelly kill the Chiying Bird twenty thousand times, even the members of Dungu's lineage were not so savage.
However.
His duty was only to protect Xuanqing, as for other matters, they had nothing to do with him, at most he would just mention it during his report to the Ancestor.
…
…..
Northern Galaxy Domain.
The residence of the Ancient God Clan.
Xuanqing returned to his Pan God Peak.
He planned to rest for a few days, adjust his condition to peak state, and then go to the Martial Arts Arena to overcome the True Monarch Tribulation.
…
Several days later.
Outside the Martial Arts Arena.
The guard was still the same member of the Ancient God Clan who had replaced the previous one.
"Please arrange for a venue for Crossing Tribulation, I'm here to transcend the True Monarch Tribulation!" Xuanqing handed over his identity token.
"Please wait."
The guard took the identity token.
As he looked at the information on the identity token, he couldn't help but give Xuanqing a strange glance.
The Inheritor of Pan God Peak?
Wasn't it said that the Pan God Peak Inheritor had just ascended from the Lower Realm, so how could he be undergoing the True Monarch Tribulation already?
It's worth mentioning that.
Within the Ancient God Clan, only the mission and enforcement halls could hide identity card information to protect their members.
In most other places, identity information was public, as they were all members of the same clan – skulking around would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?
"Alright, Master Xuan Qing…please~"
"Thank you!"
Xuanqing bowed his hands and stepped into the Martial Arts Arena, heading towards the Land of Crossing Tribulation.
…
Very soon.
The news of Xuanqing transcending the True Monarch Thunder Tribulation of Law spread first through the guard telling his close friends, who then told their friends, and so the word went on.
It had been only a little more than ten years since the Inheritor of the Pan God Peak had appeared at the teleportation platform.
To the Ancient God Clan, a mere decade or so might pass by in the blink of an eye, but they were somewhat surprised – in such a short time, the Inheritor of the Pan God Peak was already facing the True Monarch Tribulation?
"Tsk tsk, worthy of the inheritance left by the Pangu God, just over a decade and it enables an inheritor, who was not even a Chaos Immortal, to leap into becoming a Chaos True Monarch."
"The timing is indeed quick."
"However…the Thunder Tribulation of Law for a True Monarch is not so easily transcended."
"I've heard that when the Inheritor of the Pan God Peak was undergoing the Chaos Immortal Thunder Tribulation, he endured no less than five tribulations – who knows how many he will survive this time for the True Monarch Tribulation?"
…
All kinds of rumors and gossip.
In the Endless Chaos where the strong prey on the weak, even among the Ancient God Clan who stood at the apex, there weren't many forms of entertainment in everyday life.
Practice… enhancing combat power, was the main theme for all races and powers in the Northern Galaxy Domain.
The arrival of Xuanqing brought to the lives of the Ancient God Clan members… a touch of rare color amidst their dry and tasteless existence.
…
…
Over here.
Inside the main hall of the Ancient Main Peak.
Huang Yi, having completed his protection duty, reported to the Ancestor in the main hall where he resided.
"Ancestor Huang, the child's mission went smoothly; however, his true objective appears to be to take advantage of the unique environment of the Dark Realm for his practice…"
Huang Yi honestly reported what he had seen, to the Ancestor in front of him.
"Hmm…"
Ancestor Huang nodded slightly.
He was not surprised that Xuanqing went to the Dark Realm to practice because he knew from the beginning that the child must have been born within the Dark Realm.
Indeed.
For the Ancient God Clan, where you were born was totally irrelevant – as long as one carried the bloodline inheritance of the Ancient Gods, that was all that mattered.
"Ancestor Huang, there's another thing… I don't know if I should speak of it or not…" Huang Yi looked somewhat awkward, hesitating.
"Hmm? What's there you can't talk about? Are you itching for a punishment?"
Ancestor Huang spoke with a hint of irritation.
"Uh…all right."
Huang Yi took a deep breath, then spoke, "That child's character…"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 595: Chapter 408: Selling a Large Amount of Chaos Fruits. _1
"That child's temperament…"
Ancestor Huang Yi pondered before speaking, "How should I put it… You should see for yourself."
Having said that,
he waved his right hand through the air, projecting an image into the space before them. The content displayed was Xuanqing continuously slaughtering Chiying Birds on the sun.
Upon seeing this scene,
Ancestor Huang Yi first frowned, but then his expression softened, as he pointed to Xuanqing within the image and said,
"Do you think this child is venting anger and hatred?"
"Hmm?" Ancestor Huang Yi was slightly taken aback, detecting something unsaid in the old man's tone. Could there be some hidden meaning here?
"Hehe~"
Ancestor Huang laughed, shaking his head before explaining, "This child is clever and thoughtful, actually managing to utilize the sealing circle powers of the Yun clan's lineage to guide the fragmented powers of the Dark Realm…"
..
Listening to these words,
Ancestor Huang Yi had a sudden realization, and then said, "Are you suggesting, Ancestor, that the child is not merely slaughtering Chiying Birds, but is actually gathering resources to practice?"
"Yes." Ancestor Huang nodded.
…
While the two spoke,
a disturbance came from the Martial Arts Arena.
Thick clouds of tribulation gathered above the arena for Crossing Tribulation, indicating clearly that a clan member was experiencing the Heavenly Tribulation of a True Monarch.
A clan member was crossing the True Monarch Heavenly Tribulation?
The commotion at the Martial Arts Arena caught the attention of Ancestor Huang and Ancestor Huang Yi.
"It seems… another child has come of age."
Ancestor Huang said cheerfully.
For other races, those who have reached the age to serve as elders, even as clan leaders are Chaos True Monarchs.
In the Ancient God Clan, one is born a Chaos Immortal and with a successful survival to adulthood, can achieve the status of a Chaos True Monarch.
This is one of the reasons why the Ancient God Clan stands at the pinnacle of the Northern Galaxy Domain.
A smile also appeared on Ancestor Huang Yi's face.
However,
"Eh… it's that boy who's crossing tribulation!"
Ancestor Huang's smile froze.
He looked towards the crowd of onlookers that had surrounded the Martial Arts Arena, three layers inside and three layers outside and remembered the last event.
"Could this boy's True Monarch Thunder Tribulation of Law possibly also endure nine strikes?" Ancestor Huang murmured with uncertainty.
However,
considering that the other had previously survived nine instances of the Inheritor's Law Baptism Thunder Tribulation, it wasn't impossible for him to do so in the True Monarch Heavenly Tribulation.
With that thought,
Ancestor Huang cast a serious look at Ancestor Huang Yi beside him and instructed, "Huang Yi, whatever you see next, must die in your belly, understand?"
Upon hearing this,
Ancestor Huang Yi was taken aback but then immediately bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Ancestor!"
Afterwards,
he saw Ancestor Huang muttering some incantation, evidently summoning Ancestor Yun from next door.
There was no choice.
For Ancestor Huang to plan clan affairs, or even go to battle, was one thing, but wiping the memories of clan members was not his forte.
…
Moments later,
"Hurr—hurr"
Before the man was visible, a deafening snoring sound was heard.
A disheveled old man with his eyes closed, traversing through space, appeared in the main hall of the Ancient Main Peak.
"Greetings to Ancestor Yun!"
"Yun, you've come!"
Upon hearing the voice,
Ancestor Yun leisurely woke up, opening his eyes to look at Ancestor Huang and the kneeling Ancestor Huang Yi.
"Ha~ Huang, what brings me here?"
"Hehe, your work has arrived, just look over there," Ancestor Huang said with a slight smile, pointing his fingertips towards the Martial Arts Arena.
Looking in that direction,
the Heavenly Tribulation thundered down like raindrops.
The protagonist amidst the thunder was like a towering mountain, facing the violent True Monarch Thunder Tribulation of Law, standing unmoved.
Outside the Martial Arts Arena,
with every strike of Heavenly Tribulation, the shocked gasps of the onlooking Ancient God Clan members who had come from all directions mingled in.
Ancestor Yun's mouth twitched slightly, somewhat annoyed as he said,
"Huang, next time he crosses tribulation, can you prepare in advance? You always have this old skeleton come out to clean up the mess!"
"Alas… who could anticipate that just after a decade or so, the kid would break through to a Chaos True Monarch?" Ancestor Huang said, shaking his head.
Hearing this,
Ancestor Yun gave a resigned smile, agreeing that the other's words were reasonable.
….
…
Inside the Martial Arts Arena,
The sky had accumulated to the eighth wave~
Boom!
The dense thunderbolts fell like rain, striking upon Xuanqing's physical body.
"Heart of Chaos!"
Xuanqing shouted lowly as the Chaos force within his body was mobilized, transforming into a massive Taotie maw that devoured all of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Having successfully condensed the Heart of Chaos, he was no longer as cautious as before, carefully avoiding the Thunderbolts to select Chaos Rules.
Now, Xuanqing devoured the Chaos Rules along with the Heavenly Tribulation, using them as nourishment to strengthen his Chaos Shell and Heart of Chaos.
Soon,
the eighth wave had passed, ushering in the final wave of Heavenly Tribulation.
"Here it comes."
Xuanqing looked up, his gaze fixed on the thick thunder cloud above, ready to Resurrect on the Spot.
The last wave of Heavenly Tribulation.
And a True Monarch level Heavenly Tribulation at that, whose intensity couldn't be compared to the previous Immortal level tribulations.
However,
Xuanqing's Physical Body was now far stronger than before.
Thunderous roar!
The Heavenly Tribulation descended.
In an instant,
the scent of seared flesh filled the air as the body was charred in a flash, a terrible agony washing over him.
Yet Xuanqing stood as if nothing had happened, only monitoring his own health bar, ready to resurrect immediately upon death.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 596: Chapter 408: Selling a Large Amount of Chaos Fruits._2
Boom!
Rumbling!
Fallen in the path of cultivation.
"Resurrecting on the Spot!"
The next moment.
Xuanqing, who had already died, instantly refreshed the state of his body, returning once again to his peak and continuing to withstand the ninth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Relying on the feature of 'Resurrecting on the Spot.'
Even with the terrifying True Monarch Tribulation, he, relying purely on his physical strength, managed to withstand its force. No… more accurately, he had devoured the cumulative energy of the True Monarch.
Just like that.
Who knows how many times he resurrected on the spot.
Finally.
The nine waves of the Heavenly Tribulation ended.
"Phew~"
Xuanqing stood up, his body radiating with immense Law Power, his Heart of Chaos within him greatly tempered, becoming extremely resilient.
"Open Character Panel."
[Name: Xuanqing
[Faction: Ancient God Clan
[Cultivation: Chaos True Monarch
[Rating: One million
[Ingot: 96.7 megagazillion
[Chaos Point Balance: 10012
Finally.
After surviving the True Monarch Tribulation, the Cultivation section of the Character Panel showed the word 'half-step' has disappeared, becoming a true Chaos True Monarch.
On the rating, it had also broken through the original 999,000… reaching one million.
Although the rating only increased by 'one point,' it represented the breaking free from the 'restraint' of his realm, providing the opportunity to continue moving forward.
"Finally breaking through to the Chaos True Monarch Realm."
Xuanqing clenched his fists, feeling the vast power of the Heart of Chaos within him, a satisfied smile emerged on his face.
He had a feeling.
That was, although he was just in the early stage of a Chaos True Monarch, his true combat strength could absolutely thrash those in the middle stage of True Monarch, and he could even fight those in the late stage.
If he were to use the most powerful self-destruct technique, he believed that even peak True Monarchs could have a fight with him.
….
Leaving the Martial Arts Arena.
Something strange happened again.
The guards at the entrance, upon seeing Xuanqing emerge, immediately greeted, "Master Xuanqing's performance is truly admirable, having crossed six True Monarch Tribulations."
"Hm?"
Xuanqing paused in his step, then surreptitiously glanced at the distant Ancient Main Peak, knowing that surely it was the work of a big shot from his clan.
"Merely luck, just luck."
After a modest response, he walked away from the Martial Arts Arena, leaving behind the guards' admiring gaze.
Of course.
The Chaos True Monarch Tribulation, as the first 'coming-of-age' challenge that every member of the Ancient God Clan must face after reaching adulthood.
Surviving six True Monarch Tribulations, although very strong, did not reach the level of an unparalleled genius, but could at most be considered one in a thousand.
Yet, under the aura of being an inheritor of Pan God Peak, even that seemed pretty normal.
After all.
As an inheritor of the great Pangu, if one couldn't even cross seven True Monarch Tribulations, that would be a huge joke!
….
….
Pan God Peak.
After returning to his own dojo.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged on a cushion.
His mind pondered over the road to cultivation ahead.
Consolidating a Chaos Shell signifies reaching the half-step Chaos True Monarch. Only when one condenses a Heart of Chaos within the Shell, possessing the power to wield the Shell, does one officially enter the ranks of Chaos True Monarchs.
He, according to the nine transformations of Pan God, aimed to perfect the follow-up Cultivation Techniques of the Swallow Heaven Saint Art in a rather straightforward and direct manner.
That was… to continue to strengthen the Heart of Chaos until its limit, after which one could plan for another Great Thousand World, continuing to condense another organ, thus undergoing metamorphosis into the middle stage of Chaos True Monarch.
Now.
The key point.
Is to strengthen the 'Heart of Chaos' to its utmost limit.
Based on the information derived from the Swallow Heaven Saint Art.
To maximize the strength of the Heart of Chaos, one roughly needs to devour three thousand complete 'Small Thousand Worlds.'
"Three thousand complete Small Thousand Worlds… that's a bit troublesome~"
Xuanqing frowned slightly.
If one were to purchase from the marketplace, a complete Small Thousand World would cost two hundred Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones.
This means that to collect three thousand complete Small Thousand Worlds, one would need a total of six hundred thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones.
Six hundred thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones!
Not to mention that this is a colossal number in itself, based on the welfare he currently receives from the Ancient God Clan, it would probably take a hundred thousand years.
Of course.
He, Xuan Qing, has never been the kind of… Ancient Archon who relies on welfare to get by.
This… is the reason behind his frowning.
"Six hundred thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones, just to be able to purchase three thousand complete Small Thousand Worlds, and that's not even guaranteed to be available for sale…"
Xuan Qing secretly did some calculations.
Previously.
At the Ancient Wilderness City marketplace, he had learned the repurchase price of the Devouring Heaven Fruit from the Black Bird shopkeeper's mouth.
One Devouring Heaven Fruit could sell for ninety-five Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones.
Dividing six hundred thousand by ninety-five, roughly six thousand three hundred plus Devouring Heaven Fruits would be enough to gather the necessary energy to cultivate the Heart of Chaos.
Moreover.
This is still based on the assumption that everything goes smoothly.
In actuality, one would surely encounter many problems.
For example, the little grocery store where the Black Bird shopkeeper is located might not be able to purchase so many Devouring Heaven Fruits.
Or perhaps after selling enough Devouring Heaven Fruits to gather sufficient Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones, there may not be so many complete Small Thousand Worlds available on the market.
"No matter the situation, I'll make a trip to Ancient Wilderness City first," Xuan Qing gently contemplated and immediately made a decision.
….
…
Ancient Wilderness City.
The marketplace street to the west of the city.
Inside a grocery store named 'Nine Skies Xuan Bird Business Alliance,' a bird with pitch-black feathers was arranging various goods.
Tap.. tap tap..
The sound of footsteps entered the ears of the Black Bird shopkeeper, causing him to stop his movements and stand up to look towards the entrance.
"Oh, if it isn't the Ancient Archon, a distinguished guest has graced us with his presence. My apologies for not greeting you from afar, forgive me… forgive me…"
The Black Bird shopkeeper rubbed his claws together, his face wearing an obsequious smile.
The last transaction had made him quite a substantial commission, so seeing Xuan Qing again, his mood was extremely excited.
"Don't keep calling me 'great lord.' Just call me by my full name," Xuan Qing waved his hand.
The constant use of 'great lord,' especially in combination with the other's flattering and melodious tone, inevitably gave one the feeling of being in a brothel.
"Yes, yes, as you say, Lord Xuan," the Black Bird shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, but he didn't dare to actually call out the other's full name, just appending 'Lord' to the surname instead.
He cautiously took a look at Xuan Qing, and after seeing no signs of anger, he sighed with relief and immediately asked, "May I know why Lord Xuan is visiting my humble shop? Could it be that you want to sell those Devouring Heaven Fruits again?"
"Indeed!"
Xuan Qing nodded slightly and then stated indifferently, "I plan to sell a batch of Devouring Heaven Fruits and buy some complete Small Thousand Worlds from you."
Upon hearing this.
Suddenly.
The Black Bird shopkeeper's eyes lit up, thinking he could make a good profit again, and he eagerly asked, "Lord Xuan, how many Devouring Heaven Fruits do you want to sell, and how many complete Small Thousand Worlds do you want to buy?"
"You see… the price will be the same as last time, agreed?"
The last time's price?
That is, ninety-five Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones for each Devouring Heaven Fruit, and for the Small Thousand Worlds, it would be two hundred Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones!
"That can be done, we'll stick with the previous price!"
Xuan Qing nodded slightly, agreeing to the price, but he didn't specify the quantity. Instead, he posed a question, "With a vast amount of Devouring Heaven Fruits, how many can your small shop accommodate?"
Upon hearing this.
"How vast of an amount?"
The Black Bird shopkeeper was startled. Of course, he thought these words internally. Outwardly, with respect, he inquired, "Lord Xuan, a few dozens are not too few, a few hundreds are not too many."
"You name the amount, even if my shop can't accommodate it, I can report to the head office and will definitely satisfy you."
Xuan Qing raised an eyebrow and declared lightly, "Six thousand five hundred Devouring Heaven Fruits!"
"How… how many?"
The Black Bird shopkeeper asked again, uncertain.
"Six thousand five hundred Devouring Heaven Fruits."
Upon receiving Xuan Qing's definite response, the Black Bird shopkeeper was completely stunned. He felt as if his tongue had gone numb.
Six… six thousand five hundred?
This is… this is going to be a windfall!
"Yes, yes, I can ask… the head office should be able to take them," the Black Bird shopkeeper stammered with excitement, struggling to get the words out.

"
Can it be swallowed?
Xuanqing was somewhat surprised in his heart.
He hadn't expected that such an inconspicuous little shop could actually take in so many Devouring Heaven Fruits.
One must know.
At the price of nine hundred and fifty Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones for a Devouring Heaven Fruit, six thousand five hundred fruits would total six hundred and ten thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones.
Such an enormous number of Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones was not a small sum even among the Ancient God Clan, and most of the clan members of the Chaos True Monarch Realm would not be able to save up that much in their entire lives.
"Master Xuan, please have a cup of tea and wait for a moment, I've already sent a message to headquarters, and I believe they will soon send someone over," said the Black Bird shopkeeper, bowing deeply.
…
He waited for a short while.
'Chirp~'
With a piercing and lofty chirp,
a colorful little bird flew in from outside the shop. As it approached, it transformed into a woman with feathered tail.
The woman had delicate features and her eyes were extremely expressive; her transformed state was quite in line with the aesthetics of both humanity and the Ancient God Clan.
In fact.
Over many years in the entire Northern Galaxy Domain, many races have evolved towards the form of the Ancient God Clan in their evolution.
"Greetings to Miss Xuan Wu!" The shopkeeper of Black Bird bowed deeply as he greeted, then introduced, "This is the Ancient God Senior that this subordinate mentioned… Master Xuan!"
The Black Bird shopkeeper then introduced to Xuanqing, "Master Xuan, this is the third princess of the Xuan Bird Clan, mainly in charge of the Business Alliance's affairs."
After making the introductions, he tactfully left to prepare the tea.
…
"The young lady Xuan Wu greets Master Xuan!" Xuan Wu bowed lightly; even in the presence of an Ancient Archon, her demeanor was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Hmm."
Xuanqing nodded slightly, unconcerned with who was before him, and got straight to the point, "It's nice to meet you, Miss Xuan Wu."
"The shopkeeper must have told you that my purpose for coming here is to sell Devouring Heaven Fruits, a total of six thousand five hundred pieces, at a unit price of ninety-five Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones."
Upon hearing this,
Xuan Wu's red lips parted slightly as she said, "The price is fine, the quantity is a bit large, but the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Business Alliance can handle it."
"It's just… could you wait for some time?"
Wait for some time?
"How long must I wait?" Xuanqing frowned slightly.
"A short span would be two years, at most within a hundred years, we will be able to settle the trouble and then be able to take in all of your Devouring Heaven Fruits," Xuan Wu said with a touch of hope on her face.
The six thousand five hundred Devouring Heaven Fruits represented a significant deal for the alliance she controlled, especially during these tumultuous times.
However,
upon hearing 'two years~a hundred years' time frame,
Xuanqing's heart sank.
Perhaps this period meant nothing to other members of the Ancient God Clan,
but for him, to wait so long just to sell some Devouring Heaven Fruits was definitely not what he wanted.
With that thought,
"I'm sorry, Miss Xuan Wu, I urgently need to sell these Devouring Heaven Fruits. Since you can't provide the crystals now, then the deal can't be done," he said.
"Farewell!"
Having said that,
Xuanqing did not wait for the other party to say anything more and turned to leave immediately.
"Wait a moment!"
A clear voice came from behind.
Xuan Wu pursed her lips and then subtly accentuated her bosom, knowing as a female bird how to highlight her assets.
"Master Xuan, I can trade with you right now, it's just… could you help me out with a little favor?"
"If you could help, I would definitely 'thank' you properly for it," she said.
Just as she spoke,
"Heh heh!"
Xuanqing chuckled softly.
He had never imagined that such a clichéd scenario would occur in a place as sophisticated as the Endless Chaos.
That's right.
In Xuanqing's eyes, the Endless Chaos was always regarded as a 'Cultivation Holy Land'; in such a place, shouldn't everyone be absorbed in their practice?
Why was there 'seduction'?
Most importantly,
having reached their realm in cultivation, they had long since been freed from the control of 'genetic transfer'; they were no longer impulsively driven by lower desires.
"Sorry, if you wish to purchase my Devouring Heaven Fruits that's fine, but as for other matters… I'm not involved," Xuanqing replied.
He stopped in his tracks, glanced at Xuan Wu, and then continued to walk away.
Seeing this,
the glimmer of hope in Xuan Wu's eyes dissipated as she watched his retreating figure, filled with a sense of loss.
She could only watch helplessly as a huge order slipped away, and more importantly, she had failed to secure the support of such an influential member of the Ancient God Clan.
"Sigh!"
With a sigh,
Xuan Wu sat in the chair of the VIP room, seemingly lost in thought, the entire bird looking utterly dejected.
Just then, the shopkeeper of Black Bird came in carrying a fresh pot of hot tea, and asked curiously,
"Eh, Miss, has Master Xuan left?"
Seeing this,
Xuan Wu's face regained its composure, she softly 'Hmm-ed' in response, then encouraged, "You did well this time; even though the deal did not go through, it wasn't your fault."
"If something like this happens again, continue in the same way, try to keep the other party engaged."
Having said this,
Xuan Wu stood up, took a deep breath, and prepared to leave just like that.
She hadn't come with much hope anyways; after all, most of the Ancient God Clan were obsessed with cultivation, with few interested in beauty, unlike a certain small bug clan which was truly disgusting.

Chapter 598: Chapter 409: The Xuan Bird Clan of the Nine Heavens, Installment Trading!_2
Hearing these words,
the Black Bird shopkeeper also felt somewhat disappointed.
If this deal had gone through, he would have gotten a considerable commission, and might even have become the lady's confidant.
Then, his status within the Business Alliance might increase, and he would surely be reassigned from this insignificant store, leaping through the dragon gate to greater things.
"By the way, Miss, did Xuanqing discuss the entire Small Thousand Worlds with you?" the Black Bird shopkeeper casually asked.
The entire Small Thousand Worlds?
Xuan Wu was taken aback for a moment. Then, as if realizing something, she stood up, her pupils gleaming with an indescribable light.
Seeing this,
the Black Bird shopkeeper's heart stirred. Could it be that although his lady did not have so many Lower-Grade Chaos Crystal Stones, she had the corresponding complete Small Thousand Worlds?
"Miss, could it be that our Business Alliance possesses many complete Small Thousand Worlds?"
Upon hearing this,
Xuan Wu did not answer the Black Bird shopkeeper but commanded, leaving a message, "Watch over the shop for me, I will seek out that Ancient Archon again."
Afterwards,
she quickly walked away, chasing in the direction Xuanqing had left.
…..
On the streets of the Ancient Wilderness City.
Xuanqing was strolling aimlessly.
He had already searched several stores but, upon hearing the enormous number of 'six thousand five hundred,' all of them expressed that thirty to fifty pieces would be no problem. However, if it were over six thousand, they were helpless.
Even one store that claimed it could take the total order stated that it would need far more time than what Xuan Wu had just mentioned, possibly up to three to five hundred years to process it completely.
"This Ancient Wilderness City is still too small, it seems I need to go to some larger trading marketplaces."
Just as he was deciding whether to go somewhere farther to sell the Devouring Heaven Fruit,
suddenly,
footsteps approached from behind him, and he saw the Xuan Wu he had met before appearing before him.
"Xuanqing… I beg for a moment of your time!" Xuan Wu hastily gave her respects.
"What is it?"
Xuanqing stopped walking, looking at her curiously. Could it be that he hadn't made his position clear before?
"Xuanqing, are you offering these strange fruits in exchange for Small Thousand Worlds?" Xuan Wu asked.
"Indeed, I plan to sell the Devouring Heaven Fruits and then purchase three thousand complete Small Thousand Worlds," Xuanqing said indifferently.
"How about it, do you have any complete Small Thousand Worlds?" Xuanqing asked curiously.
If she had Small Thousand Worlds to offer, it would save him a lot of trouble, as his original intention was indeed to acquire three thousand of them.
"Not… not exactly; the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Business Alliance has complete Small Thousand Worlds, but not as many as three thousand."
Xuan Wu began to explain.
Seeing Xuanqing frown, she quickly spoke up, "But don't worry, Xuanqing. If you are only looking for complete Small Thousand Worlds, you won't have to wait that long."
"In a maximum of three years, the Business Alliance can gather the quantity you need," Xuan Wu said, holding up three fingers.
Upon hearing this,
Three years?
Xuanqing pondered briefly.
The timeline wasn't long. He could try selling in other large marketplaces, but traveling there would already take a year or two, and there was no guarantee of a successful transaction.
As he contemplated the idea, considering whether to accept the deal since it was only three years,
he heard Xuan Wu speak again:
"Xuanqing, if you are in a hurry, the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Business Alliance could firstly trade you one thousand of those fruits that contain…"
"As for the remaining five thousand five hundred, we could trade them gradually over three years, or they could also be exchanged for complete Small Thousand Worlds. What do you think?"
Having said that,
Xuan Wu's eyes shone with expectation once more.
This time, the result did not disappoint her.
"Agreed!"
Xuanqing said indifferently.
Compared to spending a considerable amount of time on the road, with no certainty of success in the end, it was better to trade directly with the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Business Alliance.
Anyway, he needed time to assimilate the Small Thousand Worlds, and if they could trade in installments with complete Small Thousand Worlds, it did not conflict with his goals.
"That's wonderful, Xuanqing. You should rest at the store while I fetch the goods for you. Two hours… no, you only need to wait an hour,"
Xuan Wu's eyes narrowed into crescents, her expression overflowing with excitement.
….
He returned to the grocery store he had just visited.
Xuanqing rested in the chair with his eyes closed, regaining his spirit.
After waiting for about two hours, he saw a colorful bird fly in from outside.
Just as before, the bird ultimately transformed into a woman—it was Xuan Wu, who had come from her clan with goods to trade.
"Mission accomplished!"
Xuan Wu revealed a relieved smile, and then took out a pile of black boxes from her bosom, neatly stacking them on the ground.
"Xuan Ye, here are five hundred complete Small Thousand Worlds, to trade for a thousand Devouring Heaven Fruits with you, how about that?"
"Five hundred?"
According to the price of each Devouring Heaven Fruit, a thousand would be equal to ninety-five thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystals, while the unit price of a complete Small Thousand World was two hundred Lower Grade Chaos Crystals.
In that case, it should be four hundred seventy-five.
Xuanqing voiced his confusion, "Shouldn't it be four hundred seventy-five?"
Upon hearing this.
"Since this is our first transaction, the extra ones can be considered a greeting gift for you, Xuan Ye." Xuan Wu smiled sweetly.
"Alright, thanks!"
Xuanqing gave a formal bow, and although a mere twenty-some Small Thousand Worlds were nothing special, such an act still made him feel pleased.
As he spoke.
He silently intoned in his mind, "Purchase a thousand Devouring Heaven Fruits."
[Beep… -15,000,000,000 Ingots!]
Immediately after.
Xuanqing took the Devouring Heaven Fruits he had just purchased out of his Game Backpack and piled them beside the boxes containing the Small Thousand Worlds.
"Please!"
"Please!"
Both made a welcoming gesture and then began to inspect each other's goods.
The Small Thousand Worlds inside the black boxes were very complete and each contained a thread of Chaos Rules, making them perfect for cultivation.
As for Xuanqing's side, each Devouring Heaven Fruit also contained the Origin Power of about one Small Thousand World.
Perhaps some might wonder.
If a single Devouring Heaven Fruit and the Origin of a Small Thousand World are the same, why is the Devouring Heaven Fruit only worth ninety-five Lower Grade Chaos Crystals, while a complete Small Thousand World sells for two hundred Lower Grade Chaos Crystals?
First of all.
Although the Devouring Heaven Fruit contains World Origin, because it is a 'fruit', it can only be used for cultivation or alchemy.
Moreover, as the Devouring Heaven Fruit is the planet's Origin of the Dark Realm, compared to the Small Worlds in the Endless Chaos, it lacks a thread of Chaos Rules.
In contrast, a complete Small Thousand World is different.
Aside from being able to be used for regular practice, it can also be used for special Cultivation Techniques, as well as for alchemy and forging, and it also contains a thread of Chaos Rules.
Therefore.
There is such a large difference between the two.
Regrettably.
Even Small Thousand World Fragments, once uploaded to the Game Mall, can only be exchanged using Chaos Points, let alone complete Small Thousand Worlds.
Some time ago.
Xuanqing had tried uploading Small Thousand World Fragments to the Game Mall, only to find that purchasing them in the game would require 25 Chaos Points.
And the value of a Small Thousand World Fragment was about 15 to 20 Lower Grade Chaos Crystals.
Not to mention that he didn't have any extra Chaos Points to begin with, even if he had ample Chaos Points, he wouldn't purchase from the Game Mall as it was simply not cost-effective!
After checking the black boxes and ensuring all the Small Thousand Worlds were complete and without errors.
Xuanqing stood up and stowed all the black boxes into his Game Backpack, then took out a Token from his bosom.
"I, Xuan, am the Peak Master of the Pan God Peak from the Ancient Clan of the Ancient God Clan. For follow-up transactions involving Small Thousand Worlds, come directly to the Pan God Peak."
Upon these words.
Xuan Wu was startled in her heart.
Peak Master?
As a member of the Business Alliance's Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, she naturally had some understanding of the Ancient God Clan that dominated the Northern Galaxy Domain.
She knew that within the Ancient God Clan, only those whose Cultivation had reached the Realm Master level could hold the position of a Peak Master.
She hadn't expected that the affable-looking Ancient God Clan member before her was in fact a powerful Realm Master—she had originally thought he was merely at the True Monarch level like herself.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 599: Chapter 410: Closed-door Cultivation!_1
"It turns out to be the Peak Master of the Ancient God Clan, my apologies for any disrespect!" Xuan Wu bowed slightly, respectfully accepting the Token.
Although she was a member of the Myriad Clans Alliance, which, on the surface, was one of the four major powers in the Northern Galaxy Domain, she shouldn't act so humbly.
But the actual situation was completely different.
The Myriad Clans Alliance, although also one of the four major powers in the Northern Galaxy Domain, and even holding more overall influence than the Soul Clan and Elemental Clan, was second only to the Ancient God Clan.
However?
The key point of the Myriad Clans Alliance lies in the 'myriad clans', a force made up of countless species.
The status of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan within the Alliance was not low, and if she, as the Third Princess of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, was facing an ordinary member of the Ancient God Clan, she could certainly act neither humble nor arrogant.
But if she was facing a 'Peak Master' of the Ancient God Clan, then her status wasn't enough, at least her father, the Chieftain, would be qualified to sit on equal terms with the other party.
"You're too polite!"
Xuanqing bowed his hands again and then turned to leave.
…
At the entrance of the Grocery Store.
Xuan Wu rested her jade hand on the door frame, her eyes gazing in the direction Xuanqing had left, a hint of indescribable emotion flickering in her expression.
…
…
The residence of the Ancient God Clan.
Pan God Peak.
Xuanqing returned to his Dojo.
With a flip of his right hand, he took a black box out of his Game Backpack.
It was unknown what material the black box was made of, as not even the slightest aura from the Little Thousand World inside leaked out.
"Upload to the game mall!"
[Ding.. Uploading, progress….1%…1.5%…]
Although he knew from previously uploading World Fragments that buying them in the Game Mall definitely couldn't compare to purchasing them outside,
he still went ahead and uploaded it, after all, there might be an emergency situation where he would urgently need this Little Thousand World, and then the issue wouldn't be about price.
Now that Xuanqing had reached the Chaos True Monarch Realm, the speed of uploading a Little Thousand World was very fast.
After all.
The essence of the 'Upload to the Mall' is actually the process of his original universe's Origin… analyzing the target.
The higher the cultivation level of his game projection, the higher the level of his original universe's Origin, and naturally, the faster the speed of item analysis.
Moments later.
With the sound of a notifier, it meant that the Little Thousand World had been successfully analyzed by the Origin of the universe.
Little Thousand World: A Little Thousand World in the Endless Chaos containing a strand of Chaos Rules, with no creatures inside.
[Price: 280 Chaos Points.
As expected.
"Most items in the Endless Chaos need Chaos Points to purchase, and the use of Ingots has been greatly reduced," Xuanqing realized.
Looking at the items currently in the Game Mall, it seemed that only the Devouring Heaven Fruit was the most cost-effective item that could be bought with Ingots.
However.
The 'Chaotic Treasures' in the mall should also be able to sell for some low-grade crystals, though they are not easy to sell, unlike the Devouring Heaven Fruit, which is in high demand and readily sells.
…
After successfully uploading a complete Little Thousand World,
Next.
It was time for closed-door cultivation.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged, holding a Little Thousand World in his hand, wrapping it with the Heaven Devouring Saintly Art, and finally integrating it into the Heart of Chaos in his body.
One only needs to integrate three thousand Little Thousand Worlds containing a strand of Chaos Rules to refine the Heart of Chaos.
"Refine!"
Following the integration of a complete Little Thousand World into the Heart of Chaos,
Xuanqing keenly felt the Chaos energy he could control increase, and the strength of his physical body also enhanced slightly.
His Heaven Devouring Saintly Art, having merged with Pangu's Pan God Nine Transformations, had gone further and further on the path of 'direct action' and 'becoming a saint through strength'.
After successfully refining one Little Thousand World,
he didn't stop there, but took out another Little Thousand World from his Game Backpack and continued with the cultivation of the Heart of Chaos.
And so.
Two!
Three!
Ten!
…
Three hundred!
Just as he refined the three hundredth Little Thousand World,
"Huh~"
"It's unexpected that the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan was so punctual; just half a year has passed, and someone has already come over." Xuanqing opened his eyes and ceased cultivating.
Just now after he had refined the three hundredth Little Thousand World, he felt the Mountain Protecting Formation of Pan God Peak being triggered and a creature entering.
Upon extending his senses, he saw a completely dark bird, timidly making its way up the mountain – it was the Black Bird shopkeeper he had encountered in the Marketplace.
Clearly.
The other party was using the Token given by Xuan Wu, indicating that the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Business Alliance had come to deliver the Little Thousand Worlds.
…
Meanwhile.
As the Black Bird shopkeeper stepped onto Pan God Peak, he was astounded by the dense Chaos Energy there.
In his life, he had never seen a place with such rich Chaos Energy, far richer than the headquarters of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan by countless times.
Truly befitting the residence of the Ancient God Clan that dominates the Northern Galaxy Domain.
"Tsk tsk~"
As the Black Bird shopkeeper walked up the mountain, he looked around in amazement, couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
Moments later.
Arriving at the entrance of a low wooden house, he quickly straightened his body, bent over, and was about to knock on the door.
Creak~
The gates of the Taoist temple opened on their own.
"Come in."
Hearing the familiar voice beside him, the shopkeeper's spirits lifted, and he promptly stepped inside.
"Hehe~ Lord Xuan!"
The Black Bird shopkeeper rubbed his hands together, then chuckled and said, "Miss sent me to trade Devouring Heaven Fruit with you, my lord."
"Mmm, just place the items over there," Xuanqing nodded, then pointed with his Fingertips to the corner.

Chapter 600: Chapter 410: Closed-door Cultivation!_2
Speaking of which,
with a thought,
[Ding… -15 trillion Ingots!]
As the Ingots were deducted, his Game Backpack gained a thousand Devouring Heaven Fruits.
"Yes, yes, a total of four hundred and seventy-five complete Small Thousand Worlds. Please check them, Xuanqing, to see if anything is missing,"
the Black Bird Merchant hurriedly stacked the black boxes filled with Small Thousand Worlds neatly in the corner.
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing enveloped them with his God Soul and carefully checked to ensure there were no issues before taking out the newly-exchanged Devouring Heaven Fruits.
"One thousand Devouring Heaven Fruits, take them!"
"Alright, thank you, Lord Xuan,"
the Black Bird Merchant said gleefully, pocketing the thousand Devouring Heaven Fruits before bowing slightly and speaking,
"Then I shall not disturb you any longer, Xuanqing. You are busy, so I will take my leave!"
…
After the Black Bird Merchant had left,
he gathered all the neatly stacked black boxes from the corner into his Game Backpack.
"It seems… collaborating with Xuan Wu from the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan was a good decision after all," Xuanqing remarked.
He hadn't even used up the five hundred Small Thousand Worlds from the last trade, and here was the second batch already delivered.
As long as this continued, installment payments were nearly no different from a one-time transaction.
"Continue the practice!"
Xuanqing's eyes were calm.
Seeking a higher realm was not only about strengthening his own power but, more importantly, about the pursuit of a creature's life metamorphosis.
He flipped over his hand and took out a black box from the Game Backpack, taking out the Small Thousand Worlds inside.
"Refine!"
He activated the Heaven Devouring Saintly Art.
Xuanqing closed his eyes, as the Heart of Chaos within his body began to function, slowly refining it.
…
Time slowly passed.
As each of the Small Thousand Worlds was refined one by one,
the power contained within Xuanqing's Heart of Chaos in his body became increasingly formidable; even his entire Physical Body emanated an imposing aura of the World Origin's law.
Unconsciously,
all nine hundred and fifty Small Thousand Worlds had been completely refined by him.
"Hoo~"
"The Heart of Chaos is indeed the energy source driving the Chaos Shell, and now I… am several times stronger than before!"
Xuanqing opened his eyes and felt the state within his body.
At this moment,
within his Chaos Shell, the powerful Heart of Chaos was surrounded by numerous Crystal Balls quietly suspended around it.
Each Crystal Ball was a Small Thousand World.
Although these Small Thousand Worlds did not give birth to creatures, each one contained a strand of law from the Endless Chaos.
Once the number reached three thousand, the Chaos Rules of these Small Thousand Worlds would interconnect, forming a protective stance around the Heart of Chaos, thereby providing it with an even greater driving force.
"However… it has been a year now, and the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan has not delivered the Small Thousand Worlds as agreed upon."
"Could there be some problems?"
Xuanqing felt it was a bit strange.
According to the agreement, a trade should happen every half a year, with one thousand units each time, completing the entire trade for six point five hundred Devouring Heaven Fruits in the third year.
However,
an entire year had passed since the last trade of four hundred and seventy-five Small Thousand Worlds, and they had still not come.
…
Another month passed,
and he still hadn't seen anyone from the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Business Alliance.
"Forget it, I'll have to figure out another way,"
Xuanqing shook his head.
If push came to shove, he would have to check the mission hall for simple, fast tasks to earn some Contribution Points and then exchange them at the Treasure Pavilion for Small Thousand Worlds.
In fact,
as the Sovereign of the Northern Galaxy Domain, the Ancient God Clan's Treasure Pavilion had everything one could imagine, and complete Small Thousand Worlds were nothing unusual.
Unfortunately,
the treasures of the Treasure Pavilion couldn't be bought with Lower Grade Chaos Crystals; they could only be exchanged for with Contribution Points.
Given the Ancient God Clan's status, they naturally didn't engage in commerce. The use of Contribution Points existed to better motivate their clansmen.
Just at this moment,
hum~
the formation at Pan God Peak was triggered once again.
Xuanqing extended his senses and spotted the figure of the Black Bird Merchant at the Foot of the Mountain.
Moments later,
"Lord Xuan~ I am truly sorry."
"Originally it was agreed to trade every half a year, but this time there's been such a delay. I owe you an apology,"
The Black Bird shopkeeper spoke with a hint of helplessness.
However,
Xuanqing sensed a chaotic aura of laws emanating from his body, and upon closer inspection…
Well, I'll be damned~
The organs inside this little black bird were nearly all damaged, and although his life wasn't in immediate danger, his injuries were certainly not light. Without proper care, he probably wouldn't live much longer.
From this, one could deduce that something major had befallen the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, otherwise, the Black Bird shopkeeper wouldn't be in such a state.
"You're injured?" Xuanqing raised an eyebrow and asked in puzzlement.
"It's nothing..no big deal, Xuanqing sir, thank you for your concern!"
The Black Bird shopkeeper forced a smile.
Then,
just like the last transaction, he respectfully placed the black box containing the Small Thousand Worlds neatly in the corner.
"Xuanqing sir, here are five hundred Small Thousand Worlds. The extra twenty-five are for the late apology, and I hope you can excuse my tardiness!"
The Black Bird shopkeeper bowed deeply, his voice full of apology.
"Hmm, that's thoughtful of you."
Xuanqing waved his hand, indicating he wasn't taking it to heart.
But,
compared to the tardiness of the transaction, he was more concerned that after this exchange, there would be no more to come.
"What's your name?" Xuanqing asked.
"Your servant would like to say, given that I am as black as ink, just call me Wuhei!"
Wuhei?
Hearing this name,
Xuanqing couldn't help but chuckle, the little creature's name was indeed quite unique.
"Wuhei, come here."
"Ah…? Okay!"
The Black Bird shopkeeper…no, Wuhei the shopkeeper, initially startled, obediently stepped forward and approached Xuanqing.
"Though our mutual dealings have been purely transactional, in light of your repeated efforts to deliver, I will treat your injuries," Xuanqing said.
With that,
Xuanqing activated his cultivation technique.
In an instant,
Wuhei felt an irresistible suction and his body began to spin uncontrollably.
Just as he began to panic,
Huh?
he felt the chaotic laws wreaking havoc within his physical body being stripped away slowly, like unwinding silk from a cocoon.
In just a short time,
Wuhei felt the injuries inside his body heal, and although he was still very weak, at least his condition would no longer worsen.
Immediately following,
he heard Xuanqing's voice by his ear.
"Here are one thousand Devouring Heaven Fruits, now go back. Tell Xuan Wu to try not to be late next time," Xuanqing said calmly.
Upon hearing these words,
Wuhei finally came to his senses and, feeling the state of his body, was filled with joy.
"Thank you, Xuanqing sir, many thanks!"
"I will surely deliver your words to Miss Xuan Wu just as you said, and not disturb your cultivation any longer. I take my leave."
….
…
After Wuhei had departed,
Xuanqing shook his head.
The struggle for resources is unavoidable, even in the Endless Chaos.
It was also fortunate that when he created his game character, he chose the Ancient God Clan, a dominant force. Otherwise, he would likely have ended up in a similar plight to Wuhei.
"Continue refining,"
Xuanqing muttered softly to himself.
With these five hundred Small Thousand Worlds, he could sustain his practice for some time longer.
All he needed was for the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan to be more reliable. Regarding the next trade, there was no need to worry about delays as long as the delivery went smoothly.
Otherwise,
he would either have to look at tasks from the Ancient God Clan or travel far to larger marketplaces in distant places to try his luck.
….
Before long,
half a year had passed.
This day,
Xuanqing was refining a Small Thousand World.
Of the five hundred Small Thousand Worlds delivered by Wuhei last time, he still had over a hundred left.
Buzz~ Buzz~
The ripples of the Pan God Peak's formation echoed, waking Xuanqing from his closed-door cultivation.
"They're right on time this time!"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 601: Chapter 411: Could it be doing things under the guise of Xuan someone?_1
However,
what came as a surprise,
was that this time the one who came to trade with Xuanqing at Pan God Peak was not the Wuhei shopkeeper from before.
"I am Xuan Wu, at your service, master of Pan God Peak!"
Xuan Wu bowed slightly, her expression remarkably weary after whatever she had experienced in the short span of one or two years.
"Xuan Wu?" Xuanqing sized her up, then casually asked, "Why isn't the Wuhei shopkeeper here, and why have you, the third princess of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird, come in person?"
"Wuhei…he has passed away, his body and dao gone." Xuan Wu's eyes dimmed.
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing couldn't help but be startled.
However,
he was not surprised by this, as from his last encounter, he had sensed that something troubled the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan.
And that Wuhei shopkeeper's cultivation was just that of an ordinary Chaos Immortal, not even a Chaos True Monarch.
Such modest cultivation, lacking any strong backing, would easily lead to death in conflict.
"Condolences,"
Xuanqing shook his head, then asked, "Can the trade involving the Small Thousand Worlds proceed as planned?"
To him, whether it was the Wuhei shopkeeper or Xuan Wu standing before him, it was nothing more than a purely transactional relationship.
His act of treating the Wuhei shopkeeper's injuries last time was only a matter of convenience, given the shopkeeper's efforts.
He had even thought,
if Xuan Wu were here just to trade, that was fine, but if she brought up any troublesome requests, he would firmly refuse them.
"Master of Pan God Peak, I'm afraid this may be my last visit," Xuan Wu sighed deeply.
After a moment of silence, she continued, "However, this time I have prepared nine hundred and fifty complete Small Thousand Worlds, as well as ninety-five thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones."
"In doing so, we have conducted a cumulative trade of six thousand Devouring Heaven Fruits with you, Master. I truly am powerless to provide the remaining five hundred."
After saying this,
she swayed her arm, hidden within lengthy sleeves, and took out nine hundred and fifty black boxes, stacking them inside the room.
Next,
she removed the bracelet from her wrist, explaining, "Master of Pan God Peak, it contains ninety-five thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones."
Seeing this,
"Good!"
Xuanqing didn't say much.
His divine thought probed forth,
checking the Small Thousand Worlds piled on the ground. Finding no issue, they were indeed very full and complete Small Thousand Worlds.
Afterward,
he took the bracelet she handed over, feeling its smooth and gentle warmth, still carrying her delicate body heat.
Inside lay ninety-five thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones, lying quietly within the Sumeru Space.
With this in mind,
he thought, and instantly,
[Ding… -45 trillion Ingots!]
After the deduction of forty-five trillion Ingots, his Game Backpack now contained an additional three thousand Devouring Heaven Fruits.
Xuanqing first moved the Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones from the bracelet into his Game Backpack, and then poured three thousand Devouring Heaven Fruits from the Game Backpack into her bracelet.
"Here—three thousand Devouring Heaven Fruits are now inside the bracelet; please take a look."
"Mhm."
Xuan Wu did not stand on ceremony, and upon verifying that the fruits were of consistent quality, her mood lightened slightly.
"Thank you, Master of Pan God Peak. I shall not disturb your rest any further," she said.
For the first time in two years, a faint smile crossed her face.
…
As Xuan Wu departed,
Xuanqing's eyes gleamed with an indescribable color, as if deep in thought.
He had a feeling that he and the third princess of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan would cross paths again in the future.
This was not an unfounded premonition.
While he was not from the Ancient Clan of Yun Gu, the Ancient Clan itself was of a composite nature.
Furthermore, having achieved the status of a Chaos Immortal and immersed in the Taoist practices for many years, he still maintained a hint of 'spiritual awareness' in the Endless Chaos.
Having been in the Chaotic World for so long,
Xuanqing had more or less figured out the Primordial World that Pangu had created. Whether it was the species that existed within or the method of cultivation, it was inextricably linked to the 'Ancient', 'Dungu', and 'Yun Gu' lineages of the Endless Chaos.
Especially since he had heard that, among the top races of the myriad alliances in the Northern Galaxy Domain, their strongest were the Dragon Clan, Phoenix, Qilin, Taotie, Kunpeng, and other creatures.
Of course, there might be minor differences in names, such as the Dragon Clan of the Northern Galaxy Domain should be accurately called the 'Chaos Golden Dragon'.
"It's better to be from the Ancient God Clan, with far fewer troubles!"
Xuanqing shook his head, once again feeling that his choice of joining the Ancient God Clan was a very correct decision.
From the death of the Wuhei shopkeeper and the expression on Xuan Wu's face, it was clear that the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan had experienced significant misfortune.
Fortunately, the trade of the complete Small Thousand Worlds was almost done.
The first trade had yielded five hundred Small Thousand Worlds. Half a year later, the Wuhei shopkeeper delivered four hundred and seventy-five on time. The last batch was delayed by a whole year, delivering another five hundred Small Thousand Worlds.
And now, with the death of the Wuhei shopkeeper, Xuan Wu personally brought nine hundred and fifty complete Small Thousand Worlds.
Including those already refined and those still unrefined, there were a total of two thousand four hundred and twenty-five Small Thousand Worlds!
"Just over five hundred more Small Thousand Worlds and the Heart of Chaos cultivation will reach perfection."

"When the time comes, I will have to start looking for the next Great Thousand World with a Five Elements attribute to prepare for the condensation of the Follow-up's Five Viscera of Chaos,"
Xuanqing looked at the black boxes in the Game Backpack and pondered silently.
However,
Compared to finding the next Great Thousand World, what needed to be done right now was how to refine the Small Thousand Worlds within the Heart of Chaos.
"Forget it, let's refine the remaining Small Thousand Worlds first, and then try my luck at the Ancient Wilderness City later,"
"If that's not possible, I'll have to buy them at the Game Mall, or go to the clan's mission hall to see if I can earn some Contribution Points for exchange,"
Xuanqing shook his head.
After that,
With a thought,
A black box was taken out of the Game Backpack, its lid automatically opened, and the Small Thousand World inside floated unsteadily in midair.
"Continue to practice!"
Xuanqing closed his eyes, ran the Heaven Devouring Saintly Art, and enveloped the complete Small Thousand World floating in the air, driving the Heart of Chaos to refine it.
…..
Next,
Xuanqing entered a life of rigorous closed-door cultivation.
An unending stream of complete Small Thousand Worlds were refined, attaching around the Heart of Chaos, striving for the perfection of the Heart of Chaos.
One complete Small Thousand World… Two complete Small Thousand Worlds… Five… Ten… One Hundred… Five Hundred… A thousand…
Just like this,
Time slowly passed,
The number of Small Thousand Worlds being refined increased slowly, but steadily.
In a blink,
Two and a half years had passed,
Until the last complete Small Thousand World in the Game Backpack was refined, this session of closed-door cultivation had to be halted.
"Huu!"
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
With a thought,
"Open Character Panel!"
[Name: Xuanqing
[Faction: Ancient God Clan
[Cultivation: Early Chaos True Monarch (80.83%)
[Rating: 181W
[Ingot: 86.9 trillion
[Chaos Point Balance: 10012
On the Character Panel, the Cultivation column still showed Early Chaos True Monarch, but the current progress of practice had increased to eighty percent… close to eighty-one percent.
The Rating had also increased by eight hundred and ten thousand, which was an eighty percent growth compared to the previous one million.
Such a rate of increase,
Merely with Small Thousand Worlds, it would have been impossible to achieve.
Not to mention anything else,
As an example from the Universe Space of the Dark Realm,
Stars like the sun are equivalent to Great Thousand Worlds in the Endless Chaos, while ordinary planets are the equivalent of Small Thousand Worlds.
If we talk about mass and the quantity of origin, one sun is equivalent to approximately 1.3 million ordinary planets.
With such a vast difference, could refining just over two thousand planets possibly result in an eighty percent increase in one's power?
"So… The reason for this huge difference seems to be that Small Thousand Worlds in the Endless Chaos contain a thread of Chaos Rules that planets in the Universe lack!"
Xuanqing guessed and pondered.
To say that the Small Thousand Worlds in the Northern Galaxy Domain differ from the planets in the Dark Universe Space except for their cubic versus spherical shape would be to point to the difference in 'Chaos Rules.'
The planets in the Dark Universe Space, while their mass and origin are not much different from ordinary Small Thousand Worlds, lack the most crucial Chaos Rules.
Aside from that,
Exchanging Small Thousand Worlds with Xuan Wu, part of the Ingot was spent buying the Devouring Heaven Fruit.
From the original ninety-some trillion, it is now down to eighty-some trillion.
Don't think there're still plenty of Ingots that can never be spent,
In fact,
The reason Xuanqing has so many Ingots is simply the accumulation of incense over the many thousands of years in the Primordial World.
When this incense is spent, one can only slowly wait for the Primordial World to gather it again, or it will be the incense contributed by humanity in the Bluewater Realm.
Afterward,
Xuanqing's spirit delved into the Game Backpack.
During the last transaction with Xuan Wu, some of the Devouring Heaven Fruit was exchanged for Small Thousand Worlds, while the rest was for Lower Grade Chaos Crystals.
This moment.
The ninety-five thousand lower grade Chaos Crystal Stones were lying quietly in the game backpack.
"Recharge!"
Xuanqing muttered to himself.
[Beep… 95000 Chaos Points!]
[Your current Chaos Point balance: 105012 points!]
After recharging all these lower grade Chaos Crystal Stones, if Follow-up couldn't purchase a Small Thousand World in the Ancient Wilderness City marketplace, he could only use this balance to buy at a high price from the game store.
…..
…..
On the streets of Ancient Wilderness City.
It was still bustling with people coming and going.
Because it was close to the territory of the Ancient God Clan, it had very safe characteristics, but correspondingly… resources were also very scarce.
A young man wearing a long robe and holding a feather duster strolled leisurely along the street, occasionally examining the shops on both sides.
The passersby, upon seeing the young man, gave way to him one after another because he was from the Ancient God Clan.
"Ancient Wilderness City is still too small, after a stroll around there are only a few Small Thousand Worlds available."
Xuanqing walked down the street, shaking his head in resignation.
Just a few Small Thousand Worlds compared to the shortage of more than five hundred were simply a drop in the bucket.
He had wandered around this Ancient Wilderness City already, but had only bought a few complete Small Thousand Worlds, which mostly belonged to others and he had just happened to come across them.
In other words.
Right now, he either had to do tasks within his clan to earn contribution points or had to travel to farther places, looking for larger marketplaces.
As he walked.
Suddenly.
A 'Golden Horn Rhinoceros Grocery Store' came into view.
"There's only this grocery store left, I'll visit it and then return to the clan to do tasks," Xuanqing said, looking toward the Golden Horn Rhinoceros Grocery Store, and then stepped toward it.
He did not harbour much hope, for he had already visited more than a dozen such stores.
Except for the proprietor of a grocery store, who also practiced the 'World Origin', from where he had "smoothly" acquired two hundred complete Small Thousand Worlds, he had found nothing in others.
…
Golden Horn Rhinoceros Grocery Store.
Behind the counter stood a creature with a golden horn on its head and a body as rough as though it were clad in armor, with a moustache hanging around its mouth.
Besides the Golden Horn Rhinoceros overseer, there was also a creature with a red body and two heads that seemed to be there to buy goods.
After talking to the Golden Horn Rhinoceros overseer for a couple of sentences, the red double-headed creature couldn't help but grumble.
"Hey~ It's really weird, I've searched all over Ancient Wilderness City, yet I can't even buy one complete Small Thousand World."
"This is really unlucky. I just need a Small Thousand World for cultivation, how could I encounter such a thing."
The red double-headed creature left the store dejectedly, with both of its heads drooping and swinging listlessly.
Just at this moment.
A young man, holding a feather duster, wearing a dark-blue long robe, walked into the store. It was Xuanqing, who planned on leaving Ancient Wilderness City after browsing this shop.
Entering the store.
What first caught his eye was the Golden Horn Rhinoceros behind the counter.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any complete Small Thousand Worlds?"
"Ah~ Haven't I told you, the Small Thousand Worlds of Ancient Wilderness City were all bought by the Xuan Bird Clan of the Nine Skies. You should go… Eh?"
The Golden Horn Rhinoceros was doing the accounts while speaking, but when he looked up and clearly saw the person in front of him, he was startled.
It was an Ancient Archon.
Instantly.
The quick-witted Golden Horn Rhinoceros realized.
The Ancient Archon standing in front of him was inquiring about Small Thousand Worlds, and he must be the one rumored on the list of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan… the master of Pan God Peak.
"This humble one has seen the master of Pan God Peak!" The Golden Horn Rhinoceros hurriedly came out from behind the counter and bowed to Xuanqing.
…
Seeing this scene.
Xuanqing curiously asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know me?"
"Not at all, not at all. However, this humble one can distinguish an Ancient Archon by sight, and plus you were asking to buy a Small Thousand World just now. So, I guessed."
"It is said that these past two years, a sovereign of the Ancient Archon Clan descended from the mountain, entrusting the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan to acquire complete Small Thousand Worlds."
"A few years ago, Xuan Wu, the third princess of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, came to me. She bought over three hundred complete Small Thousand Worlds from me, paying more than the standard price."
…
After listening.
Xuanqing frowned slightly and asked in a firm voice, "You mean to say, this Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan… is doing things in Xuan's name?"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 603: Chapter 412: A Complete Wood Attribute Great Thousand Worlds!_1
"So you're saying that the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan… is doing things in my name?"
As soon as these words were spoken!
The Golden Horn Rhinoceros was scared half to death and hastily waved his hands to explain, "Oh no, how could Xuan Wu dare to use the esteemed one's banner to do things."
"If she had dared to use the esteemed one's banner, she wouldn't have fallen into such circumstances," he said.
Upon hearing these two sentences.
Xuanqing's expression softened slightly, just as long as nobody was doing things under his name, it was fine. After all, his relationship with the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan was merely transactional, and he certainly did not wish to be used by others.
However.
Hearing this Golden Horn Rhinoceros shopkeeper's words and remembering the woeful Wuhei display chest just now, he casually inquired:
"What situation has Xuan Wu fallen into?"
"Ah… it's a long story~"
The Golden Horn Rhinoceros sighed, and with a stealthy glance using the corner of his eye, he cautiously measured Xuanqing's reaction. Seeing that the other party did not show much emotion, he then continued:
"It all started because of the sin of possessing a valuable treasure."
"Five Years ago… the young lord of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python clan lacked a complete Great Thousand World for practicing world power."
"It just so happened there were rumors that the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan had a Wood Attribute Great Thousand World, so they came to demand it."
"That Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python clan is second only to the Chaos Golden Dragon among the myriad of clans in the alliance, and they also have a marital alliance with the Chaos Golden Dragon."
"Thus, the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan, whom they approached, had no choice but to grit their teeth and swallow the loss, planning to hand over that Wood Attribute Great Thousand World."
…
Wood Attribute Great Thousand World?
Hearing these words, Xuanqing, who was originally listening without much interest, suddenly pricked up his ears and began listening attentively.
You should know.
After he had gathered the three thousand Small Thousand Worlds and refined them all with the Heart of Chaos, in order to break through to the Middle Stage of True Monarch, he would need to find a Great Thousand World to condense into his next Chaos viscera.
"Peak Master, are you… what's wrong?" the Golden Horn Rhinoceros asked cautiously, glancing at Xuanqing.
"Nothing, continue talking," Xuanqing said, waving his hand to indicate for the other party to go on.
Upon hearing this.
The Golden Horn Rhinoceros let out a sigh of relief, then continued:
"But talking about that Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan, they were planning to hand over their Wood Attribute Great Thousand World to the young lord of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python."
"Logically speaking, that should have settled the matter there and then."
"But who knew that an elder of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan, not willing to accept this, took the matter to the myriad clans' alliance."
"According to the laws of the myriad clans' alliance, such acts of plundering treasure by force are naturally forbidden."
"This brought disaster!"
The Golden Horn Rhinoceros's face held a wistful expression, "Bound by the rules, the young lord of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python publicly gave up on directly plundering the Great Thousand World, but in the shadows, he continued to target the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan."
"First, the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan's merchant convoys were slaughtered without cause, and later even their core members were killed whenever they ventured outside!"
"Anyone with eyes could tell that this was the work of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python clan, but at that point, naturally, no one was willing to stand up for the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan."
"It all ended when the elder who had reported the issue to the myriad clans' alliance committed suicide as an apology, finally quenching the young lord of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python's anger."
At this point.
The Golden Horn Rhinoceros let out a long sigh, his expression somewhat sorrowful.
In the Endless Chaos, everything operates on the principle of the survival of the fittest, even if you are part of a power, the weak are still bullied.
Just like in the myriad clans' alliance, it is indeed stipulated that members of the same alliance cannot plunder each other's treasures, let alone commit murder.
But what's the reality?
The fate of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan is still fresh in memory.
…
This moment.
Listening to all that the Golden Horn Rhinoceros had recounted.
Xuanqing was not much concerned.
Because such things are all too common.
Whether among the humans on Water Blue Star or in the Primordial World after entering the "Game".
Those who lag behind… will get hit; this truth is unchanging through the ages!
Even the so-called 'merciful' Shimen have a saying, "Lay down your butcher's knife, and you can become a Buddha on the spot!"
Meaning that you have to be capable of wielding the butcher's knife to become a Buddha, for if you can't even lift the knife, how can you talk of laying it down?
"Shopkeeper, are you saying… that the Wood Attribute Great Thousand World is still in the hands of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan?" Xuanqing asked in a deep voice.
As the saying goes, each person should sweep the snow from their own doorstep and not worry about the frost on their neighbor's roof; when lacking the power to break the rules, it's enough to take care of oneself and one's loved ones.
"Um… It is still there for now, but… it may not be after a while," the Golden Horn Rhinoceros shopkeeper said with a sheepish laugh.
"Oh?"
Xuanqing raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, about that Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Mang…"
Just as the Golden Horn Rhinoceros was about to explain.
Suddenly.
A crisp voice came from the doorway, "Now, that Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python not only wants to seize the Great Thousand World, he also wants me to be his concubine!"
…
At the entrance of the shop.
Xuan Wu accompanied by a young man stepped into the shop, and the words just spoken were by Xuan Wu.
After entering.
"Xuan Wu pays respects to the master of Pan God Peak!" Xuan Wu bowed slightly, her eyes still red, apparently having just cried.
"Xuan Ning of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan pays respects to the master of Pan God Peak!" The young man beside Xuan Wu also bowed and saluted in the direction of Xuanqing.
…
"Hmm!"
Chapter 604: Chapter 412: A Complete Wood Attribute Great Thousand Worlds!_2
Xuanqing nodded slightly before asking with some confusion, "What is this…?"
"Reporting to the peak master, Sir."
With a tragic smile, Xuan Wu then pointed at the golden horn rhinoceros shopkeeper and let out a long sigh, "In the past, Uncle Jin also had dealings with the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Business Alliance."
"I used to be in charge of these matters, but in a short while, I'll become that bastard's concubine and will have to come with my brother to settle the family business!"
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing understood.
However, he was curious about why that Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python wanted to take over the Great Thousand Worlds and also make Xuan Wu his concubine.
It should be noted.
At their level of cultivation, physical desires could almost be completely disregarded, and if it were merely for her beauty, it would be far too lowly.
As if seeing the confusion in Xuanqing's heart.
The young man beside her, Xuan Wu's brother, spoke up, "My sister has a trace of the Chaos Fire Phoenix bloodline."
"That bastard says he's taking my sister as a concubine, but in reality, she's just a cultivation furnace for him."
"In the end… I'm afraid Sister Xuan Wu… will inevitably perish along with her path!"
Speaking of which.
The young man's eyes reddened with hatred for that Swallowing Heaven Nine-Headed Serpent young master, hating even more that he lacked the strength to protect his family.
…
Hearing this.
At last.
Xuanqing had all the causes and consequences figured out.
To put it plainly.
This was an incident of the survival of the fittest, with that Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python Clan targeting the Great Thousand World of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird and Xuan Wu's physique as a cultivation furnace.
However.
The fact that they told him so much meant that it probably wasn't just an explanation, right?
With this thought in mind.
Xuanqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Xuan Wu. With his status, there was no need for beating around the bush, so he directly asked:
"Xuan Wu, do you want Xuan to help you?"
As he said this.
Xuan Wu bit her lip.
Then.
Thump~
Xuan Wu knelt on the ground, her tears streaming down as she said with a sobbing voice, "As long as the peak master, Sir, takes action."
"Xuan Wu is willing to follow Sir up to Pan God Peak and willingly serve as a slave or maid!"
Thump~
The young man beside her also knelt down, his face full of pleas.
Seeing this scene.
Xuanqing remained expressionless.
It wasn't that he was cold and heartless, but rather that he did not need any servants, nor did he have any need for a cultivation furnace.
On the other hand, he was quite interested in a complete Great Thousand World.
He now needed to collect just over five hundred Small Thousand Worlds to fully cultivate the Heart of Chaos.
At that time.
To break through into the middle stage of True Monarch, he would need to get another complete Great Thousand World and refine it into a new Chaos Organ.
With this in mind.
Xuanqing spoke, "What is the cultivation level of that Swallowing Heaven Nine-Headed Serpent young master?"
He didn't directly respond, nor did he ask them to offer a Great Thousand World but first inquired about the opponent's cultivation level.
If he couldn't defeat him, then talking about any rewards would be meaningless.
"Reporting to the peak master, Sir, the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python Clan has a Realm Master, who are…"
Xuan Wu's brother was invigorated and started to introduce hastily.
However.
Before he could finish his sentence, he was directly interrupted by Xuanqing.
"Xuan didn't ask about how many forces they have in their clan; I asked about the cultivation level of that Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python young master," Xuanqing frowned and said with a deep voice, interrupting the other party.
For him, as long as he could defeat the opponent, that was enough; the opponent's background… could it be larger than the Ancient God Clan?
Understood. That Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python young master is at the middle stage of True Monarch cultivation, and his divine power of world force suppression is said to be unrivaled in the same realm!"
This time it was Xuan Wu who spoke, her eyes filled with deep fear. She must have had firsthand experience of the opponent's methods to know them so clearly.
Mid-stage of Chaos True Monarch?
And also like himself, both wielding the power of the world?
"
Xuanqing's eyes flashed with a sharp essence, and he felt some anticipation within him. What would it be like to battle such an enemy?
"Since that's the case, I can help you, but… I don't need you to serve me as a slave. I only require that Great Thousand World as payment," he said.
"Furthermore, you must help me afterward, aiding me in continuing to collect the complete Small Thousand Worlds."
"How does that sound?"
Having spoken,
Xuanqing turned his gaze towards Xuan Wu. If she agreed, the matter would be settled, but if she continued with any sort of tragic act, he would turn around and leave.
"I am willing, I am truly willing," Xuan Wu hastily nodded, but then she spoke again, "Sir, I have one more request."
"Speak!"
As long as she didn't plan on freeload off him, he was very reasonable, especially since they had interacted before and had a bit of fate between them.
"My family behind me has offended the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python. Even if we evade trouble this time, they will likely make trouble in secret."
"You see…" Xuan Wu said with concern.
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing pondered slightly.
Indeed, it was true.
The opponent would not dare retaliate against him, a member of the Ancient God Clan, but it didn't mean they would let the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan off.
"In that case, if your Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan is willing, you may take refuge under my Pan God Peak, becoming a vassal of the Ancient God Clan!"
Upon hearing these words,
both Xuan Wu and her brother's eyes lit up.
This encounter had made them deeply realize that in the Northern Galaxy Domain, if one didn't have any backing, life was truly as vulnerable as that of ants, at the mercy of others.
"Brother, what do you think?" Xuan Wu gently tugged at her brother's sleeve and asked softly.
"Mm!"
Her brother nodded, then knelt on one knee towards Xuanqing and spoke out loud, "Replying to the lord, I am the young master of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan."
"On behalf of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, I am willing to submit to Pan God Peak, becoming a vassal of the Ancient God Clan, serving the lord for life!"
Upon seeing this scene,
"Good! Since it's settled, I will take on this matter," Xuanqing laughed heartily, helping Xuan Wu and her brother to their feet.
"Thank you, Sir!"
"Thank you, Sir!"
Xuan Wu and her brother Xuan Ning chorused, though now they addressed him as 'Sir' instead of 'lord.'
Aside,
envy sparkled in the eyes of the Golden Horn Rhino steward, who immediately congratulated them with a bow, "Congratulations to Miss Xuan Wu and Master Xuan Ning for pledging yourselves to the lord's service. From now on, with such a mountain to rely on, you need not fear being bullied by others!"
"Thank you for the congratulations, Uncle Jin. Then, there's no need to bother you with the handover. Henceforth, my sister Xuan Wu will deal with you,"
Xuan Ning said to the Golden Horn Rhino with a bow.
After speaking,
he turned his gaze back to the recently pledged Ancient God, Xuanqing, and asked with his head bowed, "Sir, what do we do next?"
"I'll accompany you to the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan's domain, and when the day comes, the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python will surely come knocking."
Xuanqing said.
It was all the same for cultivating, wherever one did it. It just so happened this would let the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan help him gather the complete Small Thousand Worlds.
"As you command, Sir!"
Hearing that Xuanqing intended to visit the Nine Skies Xuan Bird's territory personally,
Xuan Ning and Xuan Wu were elated. They believed that with the lord's cultivation and background, he could easily resolve the issue.
They were aware that the leader of the Ancient God Clan, at the very least, possessed the cultivation of a Realm Master, and were essentially invincible within their realm.
"Uncle Jin, we will be following Sir back to our clan's territory, farewell!"
"Farewell!"
The Golden Horn Rhino bowed in response, then bowed to the departing figure of Xuanqing, "Bidding farewell to the lord."
He didn't look away until their figures vanished from sight, then muttered softly,
"The Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan is truly blessed!"
He was quite aware of what a change in status it would bring within the Northern Galaxy Domain to have a lord of the Ancient God Clan as one's master.
…..
….
In a smoke-filled valley, dense Wutong Trees grew in abundance.
Each Wutong Tree was thousands of meters tall, and the trees were interconnected, supporting many houses and forming a unique Tree World.
Chirp~
Not far away, a light song could be heard.
One man and two birds appeared at the entrance of the valley, none other than Xuanqing accompanied by siblings Xuan Wu and Xuan Ning!
"
Chapter 605: Chapter 413: Sir, save me~_1
Moments later!
Weng~
The fog that surrounded the valley split to either side, leaving a narrow path just wide enough for several people to pass through.
Six little old men with splendid feathers walked briskly out of the valley, then fell to one knee in neat unison.
"We, the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, pay our respects to Sir!"
"Chieftain!"
"Chieftain!"
Standing beside Xuanqing, Xuan Wu and Xuan Ning shouted towards the old man kneeling in the middle, their chieftain and also the chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan.
The reason the six little old men were now kneeling on one knee to welcome him, was because Xuan Ning had used a secret method to inform the chieftain, who was also the chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird, before their return.
"Hmm, please rise!"
Xuanqing gestured with his hand for everyone to get up.
His gaze primarily on the old man in the middle, he was surprised to find he could not sense the slightest depth to the man's cultivation.
Clearly.
The chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan was not a Chaos True Monarch, but a 'Realm Master' who had transcended an entire major realm.
It was just unknown at which level within the Realm Master realm he belonged.
"Thank you, Sir,"
the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan's Chieftain said loudly in thanks, and then, leading his five elders, made a slight bow to show the way.
In the Endless Chaos, one's cultivation was not the only measure, so though he was a Realm Master cultivator, he dared not disrespect Xuanqing in the slightest.
That address, 'Sir', was uttered wholeheartedly.
Because he was well aware that although the other party was currently only at the True Monarch Realm, with the passage of time, he would inevitably enter the Realm Master level, and might even have the chance to aspire to higher realms.
Not to mention, even within the Realm Master level, with the Divine power of the Ancient God Clan, they were an invincible presence in the entire Northern Galaxy Domain at the same level.
And so it was.
Under the endorsement of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan,
Xuanqing entered the heartland of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan.
…
…
Upon a towering tree tens of thousands of meters tall, there was a main hall a hundred meters high, which served as the Discussion Hall of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan.
Xuanqing sat on the High Platform.
This was originally where the chieftain sat during clan meetings, but now Xuanqing, with the highest status, naturally took the place.
To either side of the main hall,
sat all the elders and high-ranking members of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, including Xuan Wu and Xuan Ning.
"Chieftain, why is the Sixth Elder not present?"
Xuan Wu frowned, her gaze sweeping around the hall, but not finding the distasteful Sixth Elder.
Consequently,
she could not help but ask the chieftain beside her.
"No idea, this old man's behavior is becoming more and more outrageous. Last time, he wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on accusing the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python, otherwise we wouldn't have suffered such a disaster!"
The chieftain elder also frowned deeply, his murky eyes filled with anger.
If it weren't for the Sixth Elder's past great contributions to the clan and considering that, although his actions were impulsive, they were done for the clan, he would have been arrested and expelled from the race long ago.
In a while,
many splendid Nine Skies Xuan Birds began to trickle in; they were mostly weary from their tasks outside.
For a clan to become a vassal to another was no small matter, especially with Sir himself visiting in person.
…
A day later.
Apart from the Sixth Elder, all the top members of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan had arrived at the Discussion Hall.
The Chieftain elder was becoming restless.
As vassals, how could they let Sir wait for a mere Sixth Elder.
Immediately,
he stood up, bowed towards Xuanqing on the High Platform, and said, "Sir, everyone is assembled. Please, let us know if there is anything you wish to announce."
…
On the High Platform,
Xuanqing nodded slightly, his gaze swept across the assembly of Xuan Birds.
Besides the Chieftain elder whose cultivation he could not see through, the rest of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan's cultivation levels weren't much to speak of.
The Great Elder in front of him had late-stage True Monarch cultivation and was not far from the peak of True Monarch either.
The remaining elders were mostly at the middle stage of True Monarch, and there was even one at the early stage of True Monarch.
The entire upper echelon's combative strength was just that.
No influence, no background, no wonder they were so bullied by the 'Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python' clan.
"Everyone!"
Xuanqing's gaze once again swept across the assembly of bird-people.
"Now that you've chosen to become vassals of Xuan, you must abide by Xuan's rules. Here, I will lay down the laws for you all."
"I care not for any internal power struggles. From now on, all of them cease—overt conflicts, secret maneuvers. If discovered, they will be dealt with, with no leniency!"
The stick was struck down first.
And then,
it was naturally time for the carrot.
Xuanqing released the Ancient Archon's Bloodline from his body, then continued, "As long as you serve Xuan well, Xuan will not treat you badly."
"There will be no shortage of various Magic Treasures and strange treasures, and you'll be able to enjoy practicing in the core spiritual lands of the Northern Galaxy Domain, as well as the protection of the Ancient God Clan."
"So!"
"I hope you will consider your actions carefully in the future, and not do anything that destroys your own prospects!"
Having finished speaking,
suddenly,
led by the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan's Chieftain, all the high-ranking members kneeled on one knee and said in unison:
"We will heed the commands of Sir!"
They all knew that from now on their fates had finally changed. The days when any higher-ranking race could belittle them were gone, never to return.

Chapter 606: Chapter 413: Sir, save me~_2
Having sworn fealty to the Ancient Archon Sir, it signified that henceforth, they could stand tall and straight, their spines needing only to bend before the Ancient Archon Sir.
….
However.
In the midst of this cordial gathering.
An inopportune voice sounded from the entrance of the main hall.
"Hmph, merely an early-stage True Monarch, and he calls himself a peak lord of the Ancient God Clan?"
The moment this voice emerged, it made everyone's heart tighten.
Then.
They saw an old bird, emanating an obscure and odd qi, advancing with an unrecognizable stride, slowly walking inside.
"The Sixth Elder?"
"It's the Sixth Elder, what is this old geezer doing here instead of reflecting on his actions!"
"Damn it, it's that Sixth Elder again."
…
Due to the Sixth Elder's previous unauthorized disclosure to the Alliance of Myriad Tribes, the majority within the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan held no good feelings towards him.
This moment, seeing him causing trouble at such a crucial time, they couldn't help but angrily rebuke.
"Scoundrel!"
Before Xuanqing could become enraged.
The Clan Chieftain old man was the first to stand up, leaping forward to the Sixth Elder, and then struck down with his palm.
Don't blame this Chieftain for being ruthless. Offending the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python, we might still find a way to survive, but angering the Ancient God Clan, the entire Northern Galaxy Domain will have no place for us!
"Our entire clan has already pledged allegiance to Sir's feet, how can we allow you to act recklessly? Today, before Sir's face, you shall be executed on the spot!"
Upon witnessing this.
The crowd of Nine Skies Xuan Bird clanspeople showed an expression of reluctance.
Although they currently despised the Sixth Elder, he was, after all, a member of their clan, and the Sixth Elder had only recently turned wicked.
The Sixth Elder from before was quite excellent, and many had even received his kindness.
"Hold on!"
Just as the Sixth Elder was about to be killed by the Clan Chieftain old man.
On the high platform.
Xuanqing's voice echoed in the main hall.
Whoosh~
The Clan Chieftain old man's palm was just an inch away from the Sixth Elder's forehead.
It was unclear whether it was an illusion, but the crowd thought they saw a hint of 'regret' within the depths of the Sixth Elder's eyes.
Thud~ Thud, thud…
They saw Xuanqing step by step approaching the Sixth Elder.
"Take control of this Sixth Elder!" Xuanqing indifferently commanded.
"Yes!"
The Clan Chieftain old man had his reservations, assuming that his Sir intended to personally torment the Sixth Elder, but as a subordinate, he naturally didn't dare to defy Sir's words.
Swish~
Accompanied by the Clan Chieftain old man's right hand waving, he cast a binding spell, and the Sixth Elder, a mid-stage being in The Chaos, was subdued without the slightest resistance.
This moment.
The Sixth Elder, other than being able to move his eyeballs, sat motionless on the ground.
"Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron!"
Xuanqing cried out lowly, bringing forth the Magic Treasure given by Houtu from the Primordial World and flung it towards the kneeling Sixth Elder.
"The Sixth Elder is doomed!"
The Nine Skies Xuan Bird clanspeople inhaled sharply, some turning their heads away, unable to bear it.
Indeed.
The moment this cauldron-like Magic Treasure enveloped the Sixth Elder's head, he let out bursts of agonized screams.
"Roar~ Ha… Haha!"
While the Sixth Elder was screaming in pain, a strange black fog continuously emanated from his body.
The bystanders, thinking that the Sixth Elder was being tortured, all felt their hearts thump with fear.
However.
Only the Clan Chieftain old man seemed to notice something amiss, his gaze intently fixed on the black fog emerging from the Sixth Elder.
"Something's wrong, the Sixth Elder isn't right!" Inside, the Clan Chieftain old man cried out.
The next moment.
The black fog billowing from the Sixth Elder suddenly condensed into a humanoid shape, exuding waves of eerie qi.
"Heh~ What is this thing, it's so effective against us from the Soul Clan." The black fog in human form let out a strange yell, its gaze filled with murderous intent as it glared at Xuanqing and roared fiercely. "You little fledgling Ancient Archon, dare to ruin my plans, die!"
As the voice fell.
The black fog split in two, one part rushing fiercely towards Xuanqing.
So fast!
Not just fast, but also exceedingly strange.
Xuanqing felt that under this black fog, he was completely unable to dodge, and could only watch as the fog struck towards him.
Just as he was about to self-destruct his Physical Body.
Suddenly.
The Clan Chieftain old man of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan moved even faster, shaking off one of his dazzling feathers from atop his head, striking at the black fog.
After all, as a creature at the Realm Master level, even a Nine Skies Xuan Bird, not adept at fighting, could exert immense power when leveraging the suppression of a higher realm.
Pu~
The dazzling feathers easily sliced through the black fog, thwarting the attack on Xuanqing.
Upon seeing this scene.
The humanoid black fog cast a resentful glance at the Chieftain old man before its remaining half once again transformed into a black fog sword Qi, charging towards Xuanqing.
This time.
Now that Xuanqing was on guard, he naturally wouldn't react as he had done before.
"Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron!"
In an instant.
The cauldron-shaped Magic Treasure unleashed a powerful suction force, drawing in the black smoke sword Qi.
A bean weeps in the pot!
Sizzle~ Sizzle
After a sound resembling frying, the half-humanoid black fog was refined by the Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron into nothing but ash~
…
At this moment.
The congregation of Nine Skies Xuan Birds inside the main hall only then realized what had happened, their faces showing shock and horror.
"What's going on?"
"The Sixth elder actually dared to launch a sneak attack on Sir?"
"Something's not right, that black fog shouldn't be the Sixth elder."
"Our Nine Skies Xuan Bird clan doesn't possess such a method of attack, where could the Sixth elder have learned such a sinister divine power?"
…
The birds were abuzz with discussion, their minds filled with immense confusion.
At this moment.
The Chieftain old man's heart was also thrown into chaos; he quickly shouted angrily, commanding, "Silence in the main hall, be quiet!"
Thus.
The crowd of Nine Skies Xuan Birds calmed down.
Immediately after.
The Chieftain old man also hurriedly knelt on one knee before Xuanqing, showing a panicked expression and apologizing:
"I'm sorry, Sir. The matter concerning our Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan has frightened you!"
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing waved his hand dismissively, only to look at the Sixth elder with a strange expression, scrutinizing him from top to bottom before flipping his eyelids.
One could see the Sixth elder's pupils gradually returning to normal, the previously eerie aura on his body also calming down.
"It seems… it was the sinister Soul Clan."
Xuanqing muttered softly.
Unexpectedly.
In the Endless Chaos, he had so rapidly come into conflict with the 'Soul Clan,' one of the four major powers of the Northern Galaxy Domain, and even killed one of them.
Nevertheless.
The Soul Clan!!
The Soul Clan?
These two words echoed from Xuanqing's mouth.
"Hiss~"
"It was actually the Soul Clan?"
The Chieftain old man sucked in a breath of cold air; his pupils nearly shrunk to the size of a needle's eye, his heart filled with extreme dread.
In an instant.
All of the Sixth elder's strange behaviors during this period came flooding into his mind.
No wonder, starting from ten years ago, the Sixth elder who had once been fond of Xuan Wu and Xuan Ning, even treating them like his own grandchildren, had suddenly become indifferent.
No wonder the Sixth elder, as if out of his senses, had even gone to the alliance of myriad clans with the absurd intention of denouncing the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python Clan.
No wonder just now, the Sixth elder had dared to mount a sneak attack on Sir, who is part of the Ancient God Clan.
As it turned out!
The Sixth elder was no longer himself but had been possessed by the Soul Clan.
This meant that their Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan had been targeted by the most sinister 'Soul Clan' among the four major powers of the Northern Galaxy Domain!
Panic… Fear… Various emotions surged into the Chieftain old man's mind.
As the Chieftain who had lived for tens of thousands of years, he had heard many rumors about the 'Soul Clan.'
Even.
He had personally witnessed them once during his younger years while traveling through the Northern Galaxy Domain.
The propagation method of the Soul Clan was very unique.
It depended on the sacrifice of other races' souls to complete the splitting of their soul bodies, belonging to a race that thrives on devouring and sacrificing!!
Any race targeted by the 'Soul Clan', apart from the very top few, didn't end well, with most facing annihilation.
Suddenly.
As if he had thought of something.
The Chieftain old man clung to a lifeline.
Plop~
He threw himself on the ground, grasping the hem of Xuanqing's pants, his eyes splitting as he screamed:
"Sir… you must save us!"

Chapter 607: Chapter 414: Free Chaotic Treasures, One for Everyone!_1
Such action.
Startled the crowd of Nine Skies Xuan Birds inside the main hall, they all widened their eyes, looking toward their Chieftain, not understanding what the Chieftain intended to do.
Xuanqing was also very confused; everything was fine, so why did this suddenly happen?
"What are you doing?"
"The Soul Clan… Sir, that's the Soul Clan…"
The Chieftain, the old man, had his eyes slit wide open as if some terrifying memory surged in his mind. His pupils were filled with a deep color of panic and fear.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing's curiosity grew even stronger.
Just a name was enough to scare the 'Realm Master' level Chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan into such a state.
Wasn't it agreed that within the Northern Galaxy Domain, the Ancient God Clan was the boss?
Looking at the expression of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Chieftain now, it seemed that the Soul Clan was even more terrifying than his own Ancient God Clan.
"Nine Skies Xuan Bird Chieftain, please rest assured, since your Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan has pledged loyalty to Xuan, he will certainly protect you all!"
Xuanqing bent down to help the other up, then finally asked:
"Now tell me about the Soul Clan, what has frightened you so?"
Moments later.
The Chieftain, the old man, regained his senses and remembered his earlier loss of composure, undoubtedly a loss of face in front of Sir.
However, thinking back to the scenes he had witnessed long ago, even though he had now attained the 'Realm Master' status, he still felt a lingering sense of terror.
As the saying goes: once bitten by a snake, one is scared of well ropes for ten years.
In plain terms!
It was the past events that left a shadow in the Chieftain's heart; that's why the mere mention of 'Soul Clan' triggered such a strong reaction.
"Huff!"
The Chieftain, the old man, took a deep breath, his eyes glinting with the color of memories, then he began to speak softly:
"30,000 years ago, unwilling to be confined within my clan, I chose to leave after coming of age, traveling throughout the Northern Galaxy Domain."
"Another 10,000 years passed, and I traveled to a valley filled with Wutong Trees, where I met a Five-colored bird, and we became Dao Companions. Thus, we settled down in that valley."
"Because she possessed a strand of Chaos Fire Phoenix Bloodline, I greatly benefited from our union."
"In just 5,000 years' time, my Cultivation broke through to the perfection of Chaos True Monarch, and she blessed me with six children."
At this point.
The Chieftain's eyes started to redden slightly, for even the strongest person cannot control their tears when deeply moved.
All of the Nine Skies Xuan Birds in the main hall were suddenly privy to their Chieftain's secret past, and they all pricked up their ears.
However.
Xuanqing's brow was slightly furrowed.
Well done.
Why don't you start from Pangu's creation of heaven and earth?
"Nine Skies Xuan Bird Chieftain, focus on the main point!"
"Ah… Yes, yes."
The Chieftain, the old man, was first taken aback, then quickly nodded his head, not continuing his memoir, but instead got to the point.
"In the first 10,000th year, suddenly a black mist surged into the valley, covering all the Five-colored birds."
"This black mist was the infamous Soul Clan; they parasitized the Five-colored bird clansmen, surviving by absorbing their hosts' God Souls."
"When they reach a certain level, they will completely devour the host, metamorphosing into their mature stage."
"During this process, the host's personality and behavior are influenced by the parasitic Soul Clan, making them utterly unable to control themselves."
As he spoke.
The Chieftain's gaze shifted towards the sixth elder, his eyes showing a trace of terror.
"Ever since that wave of black mist passed, including my Dao Companion, everyone's temperament became extremely violent; they would fight over life and death on a whim."
"A thousand years later, my Dao Companion died, and only because I took our six children out to visit the marketplace did we escape disaster."
"Eventually, 10,000 years ago, I returned with my six children to rejoin the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan."
"It was during these 10,000 years that I finally broke through to the Realm Master status and became the Chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan!"
…
After listening to the Chieftain's story.
Silence!
The entire main hall was extremely quiet.
All the Nine Skies Xuan Birds were trembling slightly, their minds involuntarily imagining what they'd become if they were parasitized by the Soul Clan.
It must be said.
No matter where, such 'parasitic' creatures always instill fear. In the world of Humanity on Water Blue Star, there are plenty of horror movies about parasites.
"Sir… Sir, I don't want to be parasitized by the Soul Clan!"
"Whimper~ I also don't want to be parasitized by the Soul Clan, Sir, you must help us."
"Chieftain, let's not pack anymore, let's leave now and head to Sir's Pan God Peak."
…
For a moment.
The main hall was in an uproar. All the Nine Skies Xuan Birds wanted to flee this place, as to them… the entire Northern Galaxy Domain was probably only safe in the territory of the Ancient God Clan.
After all.
The Ancient God Clan had dominated the Northern Galaxy Domain for many years, and their strength was deeply etched into everyone's hearts!
…
At this moment.
The Nine Skies Xuan Bird Chieftain was in a state of panic, and immediately spoke up: "Sir, perhaps we should no longer bother with the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python. Should we leave immediately?"
However.
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing fell into thought.
The Soul Clan that had just emerged from the sixth elder had a low level of Cultivation, roughly at the latter stage of a Chaos Immortal.
Clearly.
This 'Soul Clan' did not have much Cultivation when parasitizing, just slightly stronger than average Chaos Beings.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 608: Chapter 414: Free Chaotic Treasures, One for Everyone!_2
The reason that it strikes fear into the hearts is mostly due to its 'Pure Soul Body' unique structure, which makes it very easy for creatures to be parasitized without even noticing.
Only when the Soul Clan merges with the host's God Soul does it devour the host's God Soul in one fell swoop, metamorphosing into a mature Soul Clan member.
With this in mind,
as long as one can take precautions at the beginning of a Soul Clan's parasitism, it becomes much easier.
"Perhaps the Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron might fall short when used against other normal creatures, but it would be doubly effective against this kind of Soul Clan!"
With this thought,
Xuanqing's gaze turned to the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Chieftain.
Soon after,
he passed the Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron Magic Treasure to him, and asked,
"Seeing that the Soul Clan are but pure soul bodies, if you possessed such soul defense Magic Treasures, would that not prevent parasitism?"
Upon hearing this,
the clan elder nodded initially but then repeatedly shook his head, "Reporting back to Sir, this treasure indeed can guard against the parasitism by the Soul Clan."
"However, if your subordinate has not guessed wrong, this treasure should be one from the Ancient God Clan Yun Gu lineage, certainly extremely rare and precious."
"You Sir, probably only have this one piece, while there are many among the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan. How many can you protect?"
Upon saying this,
"Heh heh!"
Xuanqing laughed.
To others, the Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron might be a precious item, but for him, he could have as many as he wanted.
In his Game Store, the price of a Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron is merely one hundred billion Ingots.
What does that mean?
One could buy a hundred Chaotic Oblivion Cauldrons for one trillion Ingots, and he currently has more than eighty million trillion Ingots.
He had just accepted these subordinates and had not yet given them any benefits; it would be appropriate to use the Chaotic Oblivion Cauldrons as rewards.
With this thought,
Xuanqing stood up and declared loudly, "Merely the Soul Clan, you who have taken shelter with Xuan, naturally shall not face a threat to your lives."
With that,
he raised the Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron into the air.
"This is the Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron. While it is a First Grade Chaotic Treasure, it has an extraordinary protection for the God Soul, and is more than enough to fend off nascent juvenile members of the Soul Clan."
"Nine Skies Xuan Bird Chieftain, how many people are in your clan?" Xuanqing sternly inquired.
"Over five thousand!"
The clan elder inadvertently answered.
And then,
he realized and his eyes widened like lanterns, wondering if Sir intended to…
The next moment,
Xuanqing's mind moved.
[Ding…-50 trillion Ingots!]
As the Ingots were deducted, five thousand First Grade Chaotic Oblivion Cauldrons appeared in his Game Backpack.
Following that,
with a wave of his hand, he took all five thousand Chaotic Oblivion Cauldrons out.
Clang clang clang~
The numerous cauldron-shaped Chaotic Oblivion Cauldrons were floating silently in the air, emitting a strange God Soul aura, their number precisely five thousand.
Purchasing so many Chaotic Oblivion Cauldrons cost him only fifty trillion Ingots, not even making a dent in his current balance of Ingots.
"Here are five thousand soul defense Magic Treasures, consider them as Xuan's reward for accepting you."
"Nine Skies Xuan Bird Chieftain, take these Magic Treasures down and distribute one to each person!" Xuanqing said indifferently.
With these words declared,
Boom.
It was like a massive Heavenly Tribulation thunderbolt struck everyone's hearts.
"Hiss~"
The chieftain elder's body trembled, drawing a sharp breath, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
He desperately rubbed his eyes, suspecting an illusion.
But the densely packed Chaotic Oblivion Cauldrons floating in midair and emitting a God Soul aura told him clearly…
It was no illusion; everything was real!!!
Thump~
Without the slightest hesitation,
The clan elder fell to his knees, the kind that meant both knees to the ground and bowing deeply, and then raised both hands above his head, making a prostrating gesture.
Worth mentioning is,
the grand gesture of prostration in the Primordial World comes naturally from the endless Chaos that evolved after Pangu created the world.
"Your subordinate…gratefully thanks Sir for the divine grace!"
Following the clan elder's loud cry,
The remaining members of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan inside the main hall also came to their senses.
In an instant,
Like dumplings into boiling water,
These Nine Skies Xuan Bird members all knelt on the ground, with eyes welling up in profound emotion, and they called out from the bottom of their hearts:
"We… thank you, Sir, for your holy grace!"
…
On the high platform,
Seeing this scene,
Xuanqing nodded with satisfaction.
For merely fifty trillion Ingots, he had gained a group of subordinates truly loyal to him, which was a very cost-effective deal.
He did not expect these subordinates to be extremely loyal; as long as they could earnestly work for him in the future and save him many troubles, that would be enough.
"Chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, are you not going to distribute these magic treasures?" Xuanqing glanced at the elder chieftain and reminded him once again.
"Yes, yes, indeed!"
The chieftain, the little old man, nodded his head like a pecking chicken, his eyes shifting towards the First Elder ~ the Fifth Elder.
"Respected elders, follow me to distribute these magic treasures, one for each person!"
"Yes!"
…
After assigning tasks to his subordinates,
The chieftain, the little old man, personally took down one Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron and quickly walked to where the Sixth Elder was lying in the corner.
The truth had been made clear!
It wasn't that the Sixth Elder had turned bad, but that he had been parasitized by the Soul Clan; everyone had wronged the Sixth Elder.
Whenever the chieftain thought of how he had been considering whether to execute the Sixth Elder on the spot, he felt ashamed of the thought.
It must be understood,
In the Endless Chaos, although the law of the jungle and violence were common against strange foreign clans,
Among members of the same clan, it was quite the opposite. No matter what the species, members of the same clan were very united, as this was the only way to survive in the dark Endless Chaos.
This was also why the Sixth Elder had made numerous mistakes, yet still had not received any punishment and had even retained his position as an elder.
Here,
"Go!" The chaotic Qi surged on the old chieftain's body, and he directed the Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron towards the Sixth Elder lying on the ground.
After that,
Humming~
With the chieftain's cultivation realm surpassing a True Monarch and having reached that of a Realm Master, a mere First Grade Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron, even if it was to help someone else refine it, was effortless.
In the blink of an eye,
Accompanied by a mysterious fluctuation of the God Soul, he successfully helped the Sixth Elder, whose mind was unclear, to refine the magic treasure.
"Ugh…"
The Sixth Elder let out a light groan.
After the Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron was refined, the contained forgetting potion flowed into his mind, repairing the damage caused by the parasitism of the Soul Clan.
In a while,
"Where am I…?" The Sixth Elder slowly regained consciousness, sat up, and looked around in a daze.
Once fully awake,
The scene that met his eyes was the vast main hall and numerous clan members refining an artifact shaped like a 'pot.'
Not far away,
Xuan Wu and Xuan Ning had also succeeded in refining the Chaotic Oblivion Cauldron. When they saw the Sixth Elder awaken, they quickly ran over.
After knowing that the Sixth Elder had been parasitized by the Soul Clan,
The brother and sister duo's grudges against the Sixth Elder completely dissipated, leaving only concern for their kin in their hearts.
"Sixth Elder, how do you feel?"
At this moment,
The Sixth Elder looked dazedly at Xuan Wu and Xuan Ning, and his mind instantly recalled everything he had done in this short period of time.
Ten years ago, he slapped Xuan Wu for no reason.
Nine years ago, he killed a clansman who came with a message.
Eight years ago, he deliberately stirred the emotions of the clansmen, causing…
…..
Four years ago, when faced with danger from foreign clans, he nonsensically reported it to the United Clans Alliance, leading to…
…
And just now, he had even mocked Sir, the only one who could save the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan.
"I… what… what sins have I committed~~" The Sixth Elder cried out to the heavens, with blood-red tears streaming from his eyes.
It is said that there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
After such an event, for the Sixth Elder, who was devoted to the development of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, there was no face left to live.
"No!"
"The Sixth Elder is going to commit suicide!"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 609: Chapter 415: The Python That Swallows the Sky Comes Knocking, Please Show Some Respect!_1
The Sixth Elder is attempting suicide?
The clan leader, the old man, felt his heart tighten. He did not bother with the clansmen who were helping to refine the Magic Treasure and directly teleported in front of the Sixth Elder.
"Don't do it!"
It was at this critical moment that he successfully interrupted the Sixth Elder's attempt to take his own life.
"Wuu wuu wuu~This old man has lost all face to live in this world…"
As the saying goes, once and again leads to decline—
After one failed attempt at death, the Sixth Elder no longer had the courage to try committing suicide a second time, and could only collapse on the ground, sobbing bitterly.
Seeing this,
The clan leader frowned and scolded, "Enough, don't cry in front of Sir. It's not your fault—why such a womanish behavior?"
"If you truly feel guilty towards the clansman, then from now on just serve Sir well; Sir will naturally not treat the clansman unfairly!"
Tsk tsk—
Look, it's no wonder he's capable of being the clan leader. This has nothing to do with the height of one's cultivation, but rather the level of his speech.
Knowing that the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan had pledged themselves to Sir, and especially in Sir's presence, it was only natural that everything should put Sir in first place.
At this moment,
Xuan Wu and Xuan Ning also arrived in front of the Sixth Elder.
"Sixth Elder, please don't be like this, we don't blame you!" Xuan Wu said softly, comforting him.
In an instant,
The Sixth Elder's tears fell anew, like a dam bursting, as he embraced Xuan Ning and Xuan Wu in his arms, feeling a mix of emotions.
…
…..
Let's not mention the matters of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan inside the Great Hall for now.
Over here,
Atop the tallest Wutong Tree, a luxurious suite had been built, and within the room, Xuanqing sat cross-legged.
"This is the Wood Attribute Great Thousand World!"
This moment,
A crystal ball emitting a verdant green light floated quietly in the air, the vastness of the Chaos Rules within it making every inch of Xuanqing's Chaos Shell Body extremely comfortable.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged, gazing intently at the Great Thousand World hovering in the air.
This Wood Attribute Great Thousand World was, as per the previous agreement, to be given as compensation for handling the issue with the Young Lord of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python.
He could feel the immense life force contained within this Wood Attribute Great Thousand World.
Under this immense life force, he even felt that with the physical body of his Chaos Shell, as long as a breath of life remained, he could be revived in an instant.
"Who would have thought that the Great Thousand Worlds within the Endless Chaos would be so mysterious."
Xuanqing couldn't help but marvel.
Compared to the Perpetual Stars in the Dark Universe Space, perhaps the total amount of energy contained in the Great Thousand Worlds of the Endless Chaos could not be compared.
But in terms of intricacy, they were far superior to the stars of the universe by countless times.
For example,
If the Perpetual Stars of Universe Space were compared to a giant, bulky High Mountain, then the Great Thousand Worlds of the Endless Chaos would be an exquisitely crafted chip.
Of course,
There is no distinction of superiority between the two, it's only that they serve different purposes. If used solely as a source of energy, the Perpetual Stars of the Dark Universe, in fact, would be stronger than the Great Thousand Worlds of the Endless Chaos.
After admiring the Wood Attribute Great Thousand World for a while, he then stored it in his Game Backpack.
As for resolving its Origin and uploading it to the Game Mall—
With his current level of Cultivation, it would certainly take a significant amount of time. Now, at this crucial juncture, it seemed somewhat inappropriate; it wouldn't be too late to upload it after returning to Pan God Peak.
"Next, we just have to wait for that Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python to come knocking!"
Xuanqing closed his eyes, and his breath became slow and peaceful.
….
…..
Several days later,
Instead of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python causing trouble, it was Xiaowu who came to visit.
"Sir, knowing that you require intact Small Thousand Worlds for cultivation, I have collected over two hundred of them these past days," Xiaowu said with a beaming smile, taking off the bracelet from her wrist and presenting it respectfully.
"Oh?"
Xuanqing raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart.
In this period, not a single member of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan had gone out; they were mostly packing up their possessions—where did the intact Small Thousand Worlds come from?
Perhaps noticing Sir's confusion,
Xiaowu leaned forward slightly, her red lips parting to explain,
"These Small Thousand Worlds were originally for personal use by the clansmen. However, knowing that Sir needed them, they voluntarily contributed them."
"I see…" Xuanqing came to a realization.
It seems the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan really knows its place, and it wasn't in vain that he spent his own Ingots to exchange for five thousand Chaotic Oblivion Cauldrons for them.
"Well done, the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan… you've shown heart!" Xuanqing said earnestly while patting her shoulder in encouragement.
"As a vassal clan to Sir, this is what your Subordinate ought to do," Xiaowu said with a pursed smile, her voice sweet and soft.
…
After a short while,
Xiaowu was still standing in the room, showing no intention of leaving, which inevitably felt a bit strange.
"Xiaowu, what are you…?"
Perhaps because they were now bonded as vassal and lord, or perhaps because she had delivered more than two hundred Small Thousand Worlds, Xuanqing had shortened her full title to Xiaowu.
"Sir!"
"Hm?"
…..
Xiaowu bit her lip lightly, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
"This catastrophe that befell the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, aside from the possession of a precious treasure, is also related to this body of mine, which contains the Fire Phoenix Bloodline," she confessed.
"This Bloodline, in Yin-Yang Heavenly Union, greatly promotes the Cultivation of both parties. And during this process, it also brings about a delight akin to a metamorphosis of life itself to both sides."
"So…"
…
"So what are you proposing?"
Xuanqing frowned slightly, asking in a serious tone.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 610: Chapter 415: The Python That Swallows the Sky Comes Knocking, Please Show Some Respect!_2
Seeing Sir frowning…
Xuan Wu couldn't help but tremble in her heart and quickly lowered her head, explaining, "Subordinate means no disrespect."
"Subordinate only wishes for Sir to help, to crack this body's condition, so as to avoid being coveted by others when walking outside."
"Then… it will not just be a simple case of the bloodline being broken, I'm afraid there will be concerns for my life~"
"Oh~ How should it be broken?" Xuanqing raised an eyebrow.
"Just like this… like that…"
….
It is said, to see beyond the mists of Mount Wushan is to understand its true shape, whether as a peak from the front or a ridge from the side.
For the sake of helping his subordinate break the Chaos Fire Phoenix Bloodline, Xuanqing truly strained himself, busily working for several hours.
Tsk tsk~
And don't mention it.
The pleasure akin to a metamorphosis of life levels…
Was just like a breakthrough in cultivation, far more refreshing than consuming Ginseng Fruits or the Drunk Golden Immortal, by a myriad of times.
Even with Xuanqing's current mental cultivation, he almost couldn't help but want a second indulgence.
At last!
"Xiaowu, with your remarkable body, once you ascend to Pan God Peak, you will serve by Xuan's side as a personal maid!"
Xuanqing smiled slightly, patted her shoulder, and encouraged her with his words.
Upon hearing this.
"Many… many thanks, Sir, Xiaowu will definitely work hard for Sir in the future!" Xiaowu's cheeks flushed deeper, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum.
"Mm."
"Then I won't disturb Sir's cultivation, Xiaowu takes her leave!"
…
Watching her leave.
"Sigh~"
Xuanqing took a deep breath, a trace of emotion flashing in his eyes.
Speaking of which.
Since he began practicing, he seemed to have never experienced the normal joys of Yin and Yang.
This is not to say he is uninterested in the pleasures of Yin and Yang, but simply because he had not encountered someone who moved his heart.
Previously on Water Blue Star, those ordinary mortals were unappealing to him, just the coarse pores on their bodies and the viscous substances secreted from their skin were off-putting.
And after taking root in the Primordial World, due to being a reclusive cultivator for a long time, he also had no suitable candidates.
As for Qingwan, Bai Ling'er, and others?
They were all watched over by Xuan as they grew up; if he could lay his hands on them, how would he be any different from a beast?
Fortunately.
The common pleasures of Yin and Yang were so trivial compared to the metamorphosis of life levels brought about by cultivation.
"This Chaos Fire Phoenix Bloodline is indeed quite mysterious. Merely through the Yin-Yang Heavenly Union, it can bring about a breakthrough in cultivation and a metamorphosis of life levels."
Xuanqing praised.
Moreover.
This is only the obvious pleasure.
What's more important.
With his powerful Ancient Archon Bloodline, after helping her break the Fire Phoenix Bloodline, he actually felt a sense of bloodline metamorphosis.
No wonder.
No wonder among the entire Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan, only the chieftain old man had a cultivation reaching the Realm Master level.
And the rest of the elders, the highest was no more than at the Middle Stage of True Monarch, far from the cultivation level of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan chieftain.
Presumably, the reason the chieftain old man could break through to Realm Master, aside from his own talents, had an indispensable connection with the Five-colored bird that performed the Yin-Yang Heavenly Union with the Chaos Fire Phoenix Bloodline.
"The gains this time are not bad."
"A group of subordinates to handle chores, a Great Thousand World for breaking through the Middle Stage of True Monarch, and taking in a maid who harbors the Fire Phoenix Bloodline!"
Xuanqing's lips curled into a slight smile.
Afterward.
He picked up the bracelet Xiaowu left behind and probed into it with his mind.
Inside the bracelet, there were precisely two hundred and twenty-five black boxes neatly stacked in the layered space.
"Two hundred and twenty-five complete Small Thousand Worlds?"
"That is to say, after refining these Small Thousand Worlds, I will only be three hundred and fifty Small Thousand Worlds short from the Perfection of the Heart of Chaos."
Xuanqing murmured softly.
Following that.
He flipped his palm and took out a black case, then extracted the complete Small Thousand World within.
"Begin practice!"
….
Just like that.
In the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan's library.
Xuanqing practiced while waiting for the arrival of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python.
Occasionally.
Xiaowu, the maid, would also visit, worried about her master feeling cold, using her Fire Phoenix Bloodline to warm Sir!
….
Two months later.
When there were only 10 pieces of the Small Thousand World fragments left, he stopped his practice.
"Finally… they've come!"
Xuanqing stood up, his eyes gleaming with a hint of sharpness.
…
…
This moment.
Outside the valley.
A python with a body ten thousand feet long and nine heads towed its huge body to the entrance of the valley.
This creature was here to propose marriage to Xuan Wu and seek to make her his cauldron.
Following the lesser master of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python were two vassals, also with nine heads, but slightly lighter in color, of Swallowing Heaven Python Realm Masters.
It was supposed to be a wedding, but there was no wedding procession, no dowry, but instead was accompanied by two protective Realm Masters.
"I will trouble my two clan uncles to release the aura of a Realm Master!"
The Swallowing Heaven Python lesser master said to the two Protectors behind him.
"Yes!"
In an instant.
Two incredibly vast auras crushed down towards the valley.
Suddenly.
All the Nine Skies Xuan Birds, except for the Chieftain, felt as if they were in the terror of a boundless Blood Sea.
"Hiss… we're going to die!"
"How… how terrifying…"
They felt as insignificant as a tiny boat amidst the mighty aura of the Blood Sea, at any moment liable to be destroyed.
…
At this moment.
"Audacity!"
A stern rebuke resounded throughout the valley.
The Chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird appeared, looking fiercely at the lesser master of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python and the two Realm Master Protectors behind him.
"Hahahaha~"
"Old man, hand over my little concubine and the Wood Attribute Great Thousand Worlds to me quickly!"
The Swallowing Heaven Python's lesser master laughed arrogantly, "If you delay any further, don't blame me for taking action against your Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan!"
Upon hearing this.
"Humph!"
The Chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan first snorted, then said with a cold smile, "Kid, do you know who the patron of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan is?"
"Do you also know what status Xuan Wu has now?"
"Dare to speak such words, be careful not to bring extinction upon your Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python Clan!"
However.
Upon hearing this.
The Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python scoffed and then mocked lightly,
"A calamity of extinction?"
"That's a joke. In this Northern Galaxy Domain, aside from the Four Elemental Clans and the Ancient God Clan, who dares to speak of annihilating my Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python Clan?"
Having said this.
He made a gesture to the two Protectors behind him.
"I expected you Nine Skies Xuan Birds wouldn't submit so easily, and even dared to tell the Alliance of Thousand Races about me."
"Today, let me show you just how formidable my two clan uncles are!"
However.
Just as the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python was about to have his two Protectors forcefully take action, he saw the Chieftain of the Nine Skies Xuan Bird suddenly kneel on one knee.
"I welcome Sir!"
…
Sir?
The Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python hesitated.
His two Protectors also instinctively ceased their actions and turned their gazes backwards.
What they saw was…
… a pair of mysterious, dark brown eyes, a statuesque body with strength, a nose, and a mouth, a tall stature!
More importantly.
Although this creature was not highly cultivated, its body radiated an aura of suppression from its bloodline.
It was… an Ancient Archon!
"An Ancient Archon??"
The lesser master of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python exclaimed in shock, a glint of astonishment flashing through his eyes.
He had never expected the Nine Skies Xuan Bird Clan to actually have an Ancient Archon, and one with such a pure Ancient God bloodline.
….
While the lesser master of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python was stunned.
A familiar voice came from behind.
"Lesser master, we need to leave!"
It was the voice of his two Protectors with the power of Realm Masters.
Listening to the 'we need to leave' echoing in his ears.
The lesser master of the Nine-Headed Swallowing Heaven Python hesitated.
Because.
The creature in front was indeed radiating the aura of the Ancient God Clan, there was no doubt about it, but its cultivation was only at the early stage of a Chaos True Monarch.
After planning for the Wood Attribute Great Thousand Worlds for so long, and finally finding a cauldron with a 'trace of Chaos Fire Phoenix' physique.
To give up just like that?
No!
He couldn't give up just like that. As long as he didn't injure the Ancient Archon in front, would their elders really shame themselves by bullying the lesser power?
