Chapter 414: So Everyone in the Moon God Palace Is Your Wife?

Chapter 414: So All the Women in the Moon God Palace Are Your Wives?

Hearing this, Qi Yuan perked up.

"Actually, I have some guesses about my bloodline!"

The woman in purple glanced at Qi Yuan, somewhat surprised: "What guesses?"

In their earlier conversation, she had already revealed that Qi Yuan's body contained the bloodline of the Black Demon Abyss, and a significant amount at that.

"I think... I might be the long-lost ancestor of the Black Demon Abyss!" Qi Yuan lowered his voice and said.

The woman in purple: "..."

She was silent for a long time before finally looking seriously at Qi Yuan: "Now I understand why you offended the Taihuang Palace!"

What a sharp tongue; it's a wonder he's lived this long.

Beside him, Jiang Lingsu heard this and couldn't help but cover her mouth with a laugh.

Now someone finally shared her feelings.

Back in the Divine Light Sect, she had already experienced the power of her senior brother's mouth.

As long as he didn't speak, he was an unparalleled handsome man, but once he opened his mouth, he ruined it.

"It's not that I offended the Taihuang Palace; it's the Taihuang Palace that provoked me!

I've always been low-key and never actively stir up trouble!"

Qi Yuan said seriously.

The woman in purple smiled, then said, "Stretch out your hand and let me feel it."

Qi Yuan quickly withdrew his hand: "Are you openly sexually harassing me?"

"To check your bloodline and record it; maybe the ancestor can identify it," the woman in purple said nonchalantly.

As she approached Qi Yuan, the mark on her arm flickered.

Different flickers represented different bloodlines.

The closer she got, the clearer it became.

She recorded the flicker to show the ancestor, who might then recognize the bloodline.

The woman in purple told Qi Yuan her idea.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was stunned and asked instinctively, "Does this flicker consume your energy?"

The woman in purple was slightly taken aback: "No."

Qi Yuan's eyes widened: "Isn't this just a perpetual motion machine!

Haha, I've discovered a perpetual motion machine; I'm going to be rich!"

When two things get close, they emit light without consuming energy—what else could it be but a perpetual motion machine?

"..." The woman in purple fell silent again.

She saw Qi Yuan looking at her: "Would you be willing to cut off your hand and sell it to me? This is definitely the greatest discovery in the immortal realm in millions of years!"

Thinking about inventing a perpetual motion machine, Qi Yuan was very excited.

"Get lost!" the woman in purple cursed loudly.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was a bit disappointed.

"Alas... although inventing a perpetual motion machine would benefit a thousand generations, I'm not the type to morally blackmail people, so I won't sacrifice you."

Qi Yuan didn't have the right to make decisions for others.

He only knew how to kill.

Still, after thinking it over, he stretched out his arm.

What if it turned out he really was the long-lost ancestor of the Black Demon Abyss? That would be wonderful.

After all, the Black Demon Abyss was a major power among the Six Heavens, with formidable strength.

If the Yang God Venerable of the Black Demon Abyss were his grandson, then even the one from the Taihuang Palace would have to think twice before making a move against him.

The woman in purple ignored Qi Yuan's nonsense. Her hand rested on his.

The black mark flickered at that moment, eerie and strange.

She quickly recorded the flicker.

"Got it?"

Qi Yuan quickly withdrew his hand.

The woman in purple looked at Qi Yuan and said in a crude tone, "Got aroused."

Qi Yuan: "...Gross!"

"Haha!" the woman in purple laughed heartily.

She always spoke her mind.

"Sis is leaving. Oh, and sis knows you don't want to be my concubine, so I left a little gift for you at the Black Demon Abyss outpost. Remember to pick it up.

Sis is going up first. I'll wait for you in the Six Heavens."

After saying this, the woman in purple vanished.

Qi Yuan was very speechless: "People from the Six Heavens... have no class either!"

Jiang Lingsu also gritted her teeth and said, "That person is too... vulgar!"

She had expected that her stunning beauty would attract some second-generation heir to hit on her, but that never happened.

Instead, someone was flirting with her senior brother.

Time passed slowly.

Qi Yuan sat in the Myriad Realms, occasionally fishing, occasionally studying techniques, and perfecting the Golden Core chapter of the *Qi Yuan Sutra*.

As for the Yin Spirit path, Qi Yuan hadn't started refining it yet.

After all, he needed to discuss the Dao with others and understand the essence of the Yin Spirit before he could create his own techniques.

During this time, Qi Yuan's fishing yielded quite a harvest.

Well, including Demon Blaze Venerable, a total of four fish.

These four fish were all carefully selected by Qi Yuan.

They disappeared for a short time, and no one noticed.

Moreover, Qi Yuan was considerate enough to leave inflatable dolls in their caves as decoys.

It would definitely take a while before anyone discovered anything.

But there was a small incident: Qi Yuan had eaten the grass at his doorstep.

After all, the other fish were too hard to catch, and in the end, he didn't want to come back empty-handed, so he fished out the Yang God from his own Demon Luo Sacred Tower.

If these deeds were ever made public, the entire Demon Luo clan would be shaken.

“Stay for another ten more days, pack up my meager belongings, and ascend to the upper realm!” Anticipation and joy gleamed within Qi Yuan’s eyes.

When that time came, he would head to the Demon Abyss.

Jin Li’s birthday was drawing near.

Qi Yuan let his thoughts wander aimlessly.

Right at that moment, he suddenly seemed to perceive something.

On the other side, at the entrance of the Miluo Realm, a white silhouette was fleeing frantically.

Despair flickered in Hong Yu’s eyes.

She had lain dormant in the Fifth Heaven for ten thousand years, but never did she expect to be exposed by a traitor. Now, the Yin Gods of the Molo clan were hunting her down.

Within the sacred tower of the Molo, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

Thus, she had fled frantically into the Miluo Realm.

Yet the Yin Gods behind her pursued relentlessly, and she was gravely wounded, with little immortal spiritual energy left.

It likely would not be long before she was captured.

Thinking of her mission, Hong Yu grew incomparably anxious.

The aura she had spent fifty thousand years undercover to collect had not yet been transmitted back to the Moon God Palace.

If she died here, her many years of effort would go to waste.

Her white robes stained with blood, she fled swiftly, her divine domain fully unfurled as her speed reached its absolute limit.

“Where do you think you are fleeing, witch!”

“How dare you stir up trouble within my Molo clan, you court death!”

This chase and flight drew the attention of many cultivators gathering Miluo Light within the Miluo Realm.

However, seeing that it was the Molo clan apprehending a cultivator, they avoided them one after another to keep from bringing trouble upon themselves.

Just then, a voice transmission suddenly fell into Hong Yu’s ears.

“Head toward the southwest direction, over by the Red Flame Mountain.”

Hearing this voice, Hong Yu was somewhat bewildered.

Was this… someone stepping forward to help her?

Or was it… a conspiracy?

But now, she no longer had any way out. If she did not trust it, her only fate was death.

Without the slightest hesitation, she headed straight toward the Flame Mountain in the southwest direction.

“Hmph, where can you escape!”

The five Yin Gods pursued frantically.

Hong Yu gritted her teeth and plunged directly into the red Flame Mountain.

That familiar voice fell into her ears once more.

“Keep moving forward, come to my side, and remember to conceal your aura.”

The owner of the voice also left an imprint behind, seemingly to guide her way.

“Se… Senior?”

She was somewhat bewildered. Wouldn’t this bring trouble to the senior?

But then, all of a sudden, a violent tremor rang out.

The Flame Mountain behind her erupted with immense fury.

Heaven and earth instantly became scorching hot.

The Molo clan members chasing behind her were swiftly engulfed by the flames.

This Flame Mountain was the Flame Mountain of the Miluo Realm; the power of the volcanic eruption was no mere fire, and even Yin Gods could not afford to take it lightly.

The Yin Gods hunting Hong Yu were also caught completely off guard by this explosion.

By the time they emerged from the Flame Mountain, Hong Yu’s silhouette was nowhere to be seen.

“Dammit!”

“Where is she, she actually managed to escape!”

“Pursue her, she is wounded now and cannot flee far!”

These Yin Gods turned into streams of light and scattered in all directions, setting off in pursuit of Hong Yu.

Roughly a hundred breaths of time passed. Inside a tent, Hong Yu’s mind was filled with doubt as she looked at the cultivator from the Black Demon Abyss before her, lowering her voice to say, “Thank you for your assistance, Senior!”

In truth, Hong Yu’s heart was filled with confusion.

The Black Demon Abyss was vast, but parts of it were also hostile to the Moon God Palace, even resulting in war.

A cultivator from the Black Demon Abyss had actually saved her.

“Are you from the Moon God Palace?”

The man who saved Hong Yu was, naturally, Qi Yuan.

He had caught the scent of the Moon God Palace's aura upon Hong Yu.

Having acquired a portion of the memory of the Demon Blaze Heavenly Venerate, he was all too familiar with the aura of the Moon God Palace.

“Yes.” Hong Yu nodded.

“What a coincidence, one of my wives is also from the Moon God Palace, do you know her?” Qi Yuan asked warmly.

Hearing this, Hong Yu understood somewhat why the other party had saved her.

“May I ask which senior in the palace she is?”

“Her name is Jin Li, she is a Moon Maiden of the Moon God Palace.” Qi Yuan hid nothing.

Hong Yu swallowed hard and blinked her eyes: “She turns out to be a Moon Maiden Highness!”

She was somewhat bewildered.

The status of a Moon Maiden in the Moon God Palace was extraordinary.

It could be said that Moon Maidens were all nurtured as the future Palace Masters of the Moon God Palace.

One could say that a Moon Maiden enjoyed nearly the same treatment as a Yang God.

With such high treatment, naturally came high responsibility.

A Moon Maiden was not permitted to marry, nor could she have a husband.

Therefore, Qi Yuan’s words made her somewhat skeptical of their truth.

If the higher-ups of the Moon God Palace found out that a Moon Maiden had married, the Moon Maiden's end would be miserable indeed.

“Have you seen her? Is she happy in the Moon God Palace, how is she doing?” Qi Yuan fired off three questions in a row.

Hong Yu shook her head: “This junior has been undercover in the Fifth Heaven for tens of thousands of years and has never seen her.”

As for the matter of the Moon Maiden having a husband, she would keep it buried deep in her belly, for if the high elders of the Moon Goddess Palace ever learned of it, that Jinli Moon Maiden would meet a dire end.

"I have another wife in the Moon Goddess Palace, her name is Ruan Yixi. Do you know her?" Qi Yuan asked again.

Hongyu: "..."

She could barely hold herself together.

So, you're treating the Moon Goddess Palace as your harem?

"I have never heard of her!" Hongyu said.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was deeply disappointed: "It seems I'll have to go find my wife myself."

At that moment, Hongyu spoke: "Senior, now that my injuries have improved a little, I shall take my leave and not remain here, lest I bring trouble upon you."

Her wounds were still severe, but staying here—if the Mara clan came searching and found her—would implicate Qi Yuan.

"It's fine. I'm now a man of the Black Abyss, I fear not the Mara clan. You are a colleague of my two wives; just stay here safely, no problem at all!" Qi Yuan said boldly.

Having someone from the Moon Goddess Palace was also a good thing. Once he reached the Sixth Heaven, he could go find Jinli. Otherwise, without a guide, barging in rashly would probably... be impossible.

"This..." Hongyu hesitated.

Just then, from afar came the voice of a Mara clan cultivator.

"Esteemed sir, we of the Mara clan are currently pursuing a fugitive. Might we ask you to step out and allow us to search your cave dwelling?"

The Mara clan cultivator outside the tent was quite polite.

After all, the one dwelling here was a cultivator of the Black Abyss. Had it been any other sacred ground, they would have stormed in already.

Hongyu tensed up, her body rigid, ready to strike at any moment.

"Scram, you filthy swine! Don't you dare enter this Daoist's cave!"

"What, do you think this Daoist would harbor a criminal?"

Qi Yuan was a master of acting.

He directly played the part of an arrogant, self-important Black Abyss cultivator.

And indeed, the Mara clan cultivators fell for it.

Sure enough, at Qi Yuan's shout of "Scram," the Mara clan cultivators outside hunched even lower, their faces breaking into fawning smiles.

"We apologize for disturbing you, senior!"

"It is our fault!"

These Mara clan cultivators cast a deep glance at Qi Yuan's tent, then all departed.

Sensing the Mara clan cultivators leave, Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "This Black Abyss identity really comes in handy."

Still, he didn't know much about why the Mara clan feared the Black Abyss.

He had performed soul searches on the likes of Mo Chi Heavenly Sovereign and other Yang Gods.

But searching a Yang God's soul was different from searching an ordinary cultivator's; Qi Yuan only obtained a portion of the memories.

Unless he went to the Star Realm and devoured Mo Chi Heavenly Sovereign's star.

"Do you know why the Mara clan fears the Black Abyss?" Qi Yuan asked Hongyu casually.

In about ten more days, he would ascend to the upper realm as Mo Chi Heavenly Sovereign.

He could no longer fish.

So he might as well chat and learn more about the upper realm.

Hongyu hesitated upon hearing this, then said softly: "It has to do with the Mara clan's supreme treasure of creation."

At this mention, Qi Yuan's interest perked up.

Though the Gate of Ultimate Truth was the foremost supreme treasure of creation in the Immortal Realm,

for Qi Yuan, it could not increase his combat power, and using it was a waste of time.

"The Mara clan's supreme treasure of creation is called the Mara Well!"

"What, a well!" Qi Yuan's eyes widened.

Hongyu was a bit confused, not understanding what was so special about a well.

"What's wrong, senior?"

Then Qi Yuan said: "It seems my family's well has also gone missing—someone carried it off. Could the Mara Well be my family's well?"

The Gate of Ten Thousand Differences had been taken by someone who fled through the door, but it had already been retrieved.

The well had been taken far from home, and there was still no trace of it.

He found the Mara clan's Mara Well very familiar, somewhat like his own well.

"...Senior has quite a sense of humor." Hongyu smiled, though inwardly she was a bit speechless.

At this moment, Qi Yuan was utterly dejected, his mind full of his family's well.

Still, he kept his wits: "Go on, I'm listening."

Hongyu continued: "The Sixth Heaven is the highest existing heaven in the Immortal Realm, and also the most suitable place for Yang God Heavenly Sovereigns to cultivate.

Because of this, the Sixth Heaven hosts many great sacred grounds.

Yang God Heavenly Sovereigns from the five lower heavens, if they lack a sacred ground, often ascend to the Sixth Heaven and choose to join one.

But the Black Abyss, in the Sixth Heaven, is the most unique sacred ground—it does not recruit any Yang Gods without 'Black Abyss' bloodline!"

The Sixth Heaven of the Immortal Realm is structured like a pyramid.

The Yang Gods below all aspire to ascend to the Sixth Heaven and cultivate there.

The Sixth Heaven is a treasure land for Yang God Heavenly Sovereigns.

It can be said that for a Yang God Heavenly Sovereign, the speed of cultivation in the Sixth Heaven is several times that of the lower heavens.

This gap cannot be compensated by the flow of time.

Because of this, many Yang Gods flock to the Sixth Heaven.

But... the Sixth Heaven... does not welcome other Yang Gods.
