Chapter 413: If You Wipe Out That One in the Taihuang Palace, I'll Be Your Concubine

Chapter 413: If You Destroy That One from the Taihuang Palace, I’ll Be Your Concubine!

At the core of the Demon Luo Sacred Tower,

five-colored radiance overflowed, surrounded by countless caves.

Within those caves sat Yin gods, some in seclusion, others refining pills.

The closer to the core, the stronger the cultivators in the caves.

Those nearest the central cave were all Mythical-level experts.

These caves were arranged like a honeycomb.

At the very heart lay the cave of Demon Chi Heavenly Lord.

Qi Yuan looked up at the stars in the sky.

“Fortunately, the Gate of Ultimate Principle blocks everything—otherwise, if Demon Chi Heavenly Lord had merged with his star throne, the entire Demon Luo clan would know he’s fighting.”

Unlike the Great Calamity, who was a Yang God without a throne, Demon Chi Heavenly Lord, as a Yang God who reflected the heavens and possessed his own throne, could channel the power of his star into himself when fighting at full strength.

This greatly enhanced his power.

But then his star would shine brightly.

Any attentive Yang God Heavenly Lord would notice.

Moreover, if a Yang God Heavenly Lord fell, the projection of his star in the sky would dim and eventually vanish.

Thus, Qi Yuan had left a sliver of Demon Chi Heavenly Lord’s soul alive.

When he arrived before Demon Chi Heavenly Lord’s cave, Qi Yuan stopped.

Ahead lay a thin membrane, the core of the Demon Luo Sacred Tower.

This membrane was connected to the Creation Artifact of the tower.

Thus, no other Yang God could enter without permission from the Demon Luo clan’s Yang God.

“Grandson, come out—I’m going to your place to grab some blankets and a toothbrush.”

At that moment, Qi Yuan summoned Demon Chi Heavenly Lord.

Of course, he only let out a tiny wisp of his soul, just enough to touch the membrane.

After passing the verification, Qi Yuan swaggered into Demon Chi Heavenly Lord’s cave.

“What a pity—all the good stuff is destroyed.”

Qi Yuan had no time to mourn the damaged treasures; now he faced the riches of Demon Chi Heavenly Lord’s cave.

“So many treasures! Truly worthy of the White Moonlight!”

All kinds of artifacts and pills were available, priceless.

One particular pill, if placed in the Demon Luo Sacred Tower, would make every cultivator there fight to the death for it.

But Qi Yuan didn’t care about these things.

He cultivated through his own effort and intelligence, rarely relying on external aids like pills.

“Not bad—dozens of divine techniques, worth dozens of star-like golden pills!”

Qi Yuan’s eyes gleamed.

What he valued most were the techniques.

“The White Moonlight is so rich—how tempting!”

“Too bad—if only the White Moonlight loved me and gave me everything wholeheartedly.”

Qi Yuan sighed.

Like the Buddha Kingdom, which had directly gathered all divine techniques for Qi Yuan, it was generous.

But Qi Yuan understood that the reason the White Moonlight was the White Moonlight was precisely because it was unattainable.

If the White Moonlight also loved him and willingly gave him the techniques,

how could he kill it?

Wouldn’t he feel guilty when he did?

“The only flaw is that two of the divine techniques overlap with some I got from the Buddha Kingdom.”

Qi Yuan finished looting the techniques and set his eyes on a corner.

“Heaven-Piercing Jade!”

His eyes gleamed again.

[Heaven-Piercing Jade: can break through heavy barriers, can reach the Nine Heavens.]

Five pieces of Heaven-Piercing Jade fell into Qi Yuan’s hands, and joy shone in his eyes.

“I can finally ascend to the upper realm.”

Working in the Black Demon Abyss for ten thousand years might yield one piece of Heaven-Piercing Jade.

But here, he obtained five directly.

“However, I can’t ascend right now.”

Ascending from the Demon Luo Sacred Tower would lead to the Demon Abyss.

Suddenly appearing in the upper realm would surely draw attention.

Qi Yuan was a stowaway—too dangerous.

“Fortunately… I have this!”

Qi Yuan’s gaze fell on a written decree, his eyes deep.

This decree was an order from the Demon Luo clan’s Council of Elders to Demon Chi Heavenly Lord, commanding him to go to the upper realm for duty.

In the Demon Abyss of the upper realm, the Demon Luo clan was at war with the Moon God Palace.

Nearly twenty Yang Gods from the Demon Luo clan were stationed there.

That was a third of the clan’s strength.

“In a month, I’ll ascend as Demon Chi Heavenly Lord and keep fishing up there.”

“But before that, I need to catch more fish down here!”

Now, Qi Yuan’s identity was special.

If he exposed his whereabouts, he might attract the extermination of that one from the Taihuang Palace.

He still didn’t know how strong a Yang God at the Great Principle Realm truly was, and he lacked the confidence to clash head-on with that one from the Taihuang Palace.

Thus, he had to stay low-key.

“An invitation to the Principle Discussion Assembly?”

Qi Yuan’s eyes fell on a piece of paper, curiosity flickering in them.

Then, a flood of information poured into his mind.

"Can all Yang Gods attend?"

"Can I, a Zifu, join in the fun?"

"It seems Zifu aren't forbidden from going!"

Qi Yuan found this Supreme Truth Discourse quite intriguing.

The Supreme Truth Discourse, as its name suggests, is a gathering where all Yang Gods discuss the Dao.

Yang Gods at the peak of the Great Heavenly Realm sit before the Wall of Supreme Truth, contemplating their own Dao and seeking to comprehend the Supreme Truth.

Powerful beings in the Supreme Truth Realm can also use this opportunity to understand their own Dao and break through to the Great Supreme Truth Realm.

Of course, this is all an ideal state.

Breaking through is exceedingly difficult.

Otherwise, the Immortal Realm would not have gone so many years without a powerhouse in the Great Supreme Truth Realm.

The last one to appear was the Great Sun Radiant Buddha of the Buddha Kingdom.

But the Great Sun Radiant Buddha fell as soon as he emerged.

This also led to the Supreme Truth Society bearing deep resentment toward the Taihuang Palace.

"Why does the Supreme Truth Society only invite Yang Gods and not Zifu?

Does it mean Zifu are unworthy of comprehending the Supreme Truth?

Alas, such prejudice!"

Qi Yuan sighed.

In reality, there seemed to be no rule forbidding Zifu from comprehending the Supreme Truth.

Now that he had an invitation, he decided that if time permitted, he would go and join the excitement, to see if he could grasp some Supreme Truth.

"Alright, time to keep baiting and keep fishing!"

After a thorough search, Qi Yuan left an inflatable doll here to impersonate Mo Chi Tianzun, and his figure vanished in that instant.

The fishing had to continue.

With so many white moonshines, how could he let them go to waste?

There was still a month left; he had to hurry, and fast!

...

In the Miluo Realm, Qi Yuan leisurely ate fish.

Jiang Lingsu, in a jade-green dress, looked charming and adorable.

This made Qi Yuan rather emotional.

When the seductive path was already unbeatable, why bother with the cute route?

Just then, an ugly old crone appeared. She looked at Qi Yuan with a less-than-pleasant expression and said in a hoarse voice, "Have you seen Ji Buping?"

Qi Yuan was too busy eating fish to pay her any mind.

Jiang Lingsu didn't look up either, focused on picking out fish bones.

This dismissive attitude irritated the ugly old crone.

She was a Mythical powerhouse; with enough merit, she could ascend to the Sixth Heaven and gain the qualification to reflect upon the myriad realms.

Then, she would become a core figure of the Black Demon Abyss.

Thus, she felt entitled to lose her temper with Qi Yuan.

A powerful pressure surged forth in that moment, as if she intended to teach Qi Yuan a lesson.

Qi Yuan, eating his fish, was speechless.

Did he have a face that invited bullying?

He didn't have a taunting face either.

Why did this ugly old crone keep coming to bother him?

Indeed, this wasn't the first time she had come to ask about Ji Buping.

Each time, Qi Yuan used the Great Forgetfulness Heart Sutra to make the old crone briefly forget Ji Buping and forget to seek him out.

Yet, with her poor memory, she came to Qi Yuan every other day.

It was like an NPC coming to him daily for a quest.

Qi Yuan abided by the law and never killed indiscriminately; he couldn't just slay people at will, could he?

"Has no one told you that before asking someone for help, you should use polite terms?"

Qi Yuan was disappointed.

Before coming, he thought the moon in the Immortal Realm was rounder, the air sweeter, and everyone cultured.

But it turned out to be all his imagination.

Even female cultivators in the upper realm fart.

The air up there wasn't fragrant everywhere either.

As for culture... it was quite mediocre.

"Has no one told you that when facing a senior stronger than yourself, you should show some reverence?" the ugly old crone retorted.

"He is my concubine. In this Fifth Heaven, he need not revere anyone!"

Just then, a woman in purple robes with two ox horns atop her head appeared, her eyes brimming with a cheerful smile.

Seeing this purple-robed woman, the ugly old crone's expression shifted slightly, and she retreated dozens of zhang.

She glanced at the purple-robed woman, her face fluctuating between emotions, deeply wary, and finally she flicked her sleeves and left.

"Concubine, isn't your big sis handsome?" The purple-robed woman planted her hands on her hips, her demeanor bold and hearty.

Qi Yuan looked at the purple-robed woman, a helpless expression on his face: "Sister Oxhorn, I am not your concubine!"

"Oh, I forgot—you're not my concubine yet!"

"Thank you for getting me out of that," Qi Yuan said politely.

Regardless, Qi Yuan had joined the Black Demon Abyss and obtained a job with room and board thanks to Sister Oxhorn's introduction.

This time, she had also helped him drive away the old crone.

"Small matter." The purple-robed woman's face was brimming with barely contained joy, as if something good had happened recently. "How about coming with your big sis to the Sixth Heaven?

If you're willing to be my concubine, I'll make sure you eat well and live well.

If anyone bullies you, your big sis will have your back!"

After obtaining the Morning Star Azure Blood Beast, her cultivation had surged once more.

Returning to the Black Demon Abyss this time, she planned to break through to the Yang God Heavenly Sovereign realm.

Thus, she was in excellent spirits.

Though she had once been of noble bloodline and enjoyed the treatment of a Yang God Heavenly Sovereign, she was never a true Yang God.

Now, on the verge of a breakthrough, she was naturally in good spirits.

Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up at this: “Really?”

A bold plan took shape in Qi Yuan’s mind.

“Naturally!”

“Then do you allow your concubine to have a wife?” Qi Yuan asked.

For the sake of his grand scheme, he was willing to endure humiliation!

The purple-robed woman paused, then looked at Qi Yuan: “If it were any other concubine, no, but you’re different—I’ll allow it.

Come, pack up, and return with me to the Sixth Heaven.”

“I have a great enemy—can you help me deal with him?

If you can, then what’s the harm in me being your concubine?” Qi Yuan said softly.

After all, no one had ever decreed that a concubine must share a bed!

He had his own free will.

If Sister Horn dared to step out of line, he’d just sue her for rape.

“What great enemy? Just say it, and I’ll make sure he’s thoroughly taught a lesson!” the purple-robed woman declared, quite carefree.

“Well, He’s a bit strong.” Qi Yuan looked at the purple-robed woman, actually somewhat doubtful.

Her strength was probably at the peak of the Mythical realm.

But since she was so confident, perhaps she was hiding her true power and was actually a big shot?

“Why are you dragging it out like some woman? Just say who it is!” the purple-robed woman said impatiently, exuding dominance.

“Don’t define women!” Qi Yuan retorted, then continued, “My enemy is… that one from Taihuang Palace.”

“Taihuang Palace?” The purple-robed woman paused, then asked, “Which one? Don’t tell me it’s a Sun God.”

Taihuang Palace was strong, but her Black Demon Abyss wasn’t afraid of it.

Besides, Taihuang Palace was huge, with so many people.

“It’s a Sun God.”

The purple-robed woman swallowed hard.

The problem was a bit big.

“The strongest one.”

The purple-robed woman stared at Qi Yuan, eyes wide: “I didn’t expect you to have such nerve—how about… I be your concubine instead?

That one—even my ancestors wouldn’t dare offend him!

How did he become your great enemy?

Could it be that your ancestor was a turtle, flipped over while sunbathing, couldn’t right itself, and got roasted to death by the sun’s rays?”

Qi Yuan felt disappointed: “Sigh, looks like you’re afraid of Him.”

The purple-robed woman rolled her eyes: “Who isn’t? Wasn’t the Great Sun Radiant Buddha fierce? And He still got killed by Him?

Even the Supreme Council has grievances against Him, but they don’t dare say a word, do they?”

“It seems I can’t be your concubine after all,” Qi Yuan said, disappointed.

The purple-robed woman’s expression shifted several times, then she finally asked: “Is your grudge against him that deep?”

“Very deep,” Qi Yuan nodded seriously.

It was already a mortal enmity.

The purple-robed woman glanced at Qi Yuan: “I suggest you find another enemy.”

Though she knew Qi Yuan’s bloodline was precious and could enjoy Sun God-level treatment in the Black Demon Abyss,

still, making an enemy of that one from Taihuang Palace—that took guts comparable to the Ten Suns Heavenly Sovereign!

“Sigh, looks like I can’t rely on you—I’ll have to depend on my own efforts!” Qi Yuan said earnestly.

Hearing this, the purple-robed woman couldn’t help but say: “I’ll wait for your good news—if you take down that one, I’ll be your concubine!”

She naturally didn’t believe it.

After all, Blood Robe was merely from a sacred ground in the Second Heaven.

Though Taihuang Palace was also a sacred ground, it was in the Sixth Heaven.

Floating Pagoda Mountain was quite famous among the sacred grounds of the Second Heaven.

But… it only had a single Sun God at the Heavenly Position realm!

Not to mention Taihuang Palace—it didn’t even qualify to provoke the Mara Clan.

“Blood Robe, Taihuang Palace is in the Sixth Heaven, and that one from Taihuang Palace isn’t someone a Sun God from the Second Heaven can challenge!” the purple-robed woman advised.

As for how Qi Yuan had come to be at odds with that one from Taihuang Palace, she couldn’t be bothered to ask.

“Mm, it’s fine.” Qi Yuan said nothing more.

He felt life was far too difficult.

Normally, when cultivators from the lower realms ascended, they mostly ended up in the First Heaven.

Then they would work hard, improve, and face enemies starting from the First Heaven, gradually growing stronger.

But as for him, he was directly confronting a great enemy from the Sixth Heaven.

The gap was too vast.

“Sigh, I wish I could go back to the First Heaven, claim a mountain, and be king,” Qi Yuan lamented then.

The purple-robed woman smiled, then leaned close to Qi Yuan and whispered, “Could you give me a drop of your blood? I’m actually very curious about your bloodline.”

“No,” Qi Yuan shook his head.

How could he casually give away his blood?

The purple-robed woman wasn’t surprised by his refusal.

For a cultivator at this level, casually handing over one’s own blood would be asking for death.

“What a pity—I can’t figure out what bloodline you have. I suppose only by bringing you before the ancestor could your bloodline be tested,” the purple-robed woman sighed.
