Chapter 416: The Anxious Horned Sister, Finally Reaching the Sixth Heaven!

Chapter 416: Anxious Sister Horn, Finally Ascends to the Sixth Heaven!

A mighty strike, with no mercy spared.

The ugly crone’s eyes flew wide, she tried to resist.

But her paltry divine spiritual power, before Qi Yuan, was feebler than an ant.

“Snitch, down to the underworld!”

Qi Yuan obliterated the ugly crone outright!

Using such power beyond the bounds, by rights the nearby Yang Gods of the Demon Luo Sacred Tower should have sensed it.

But all the nearby Yang Gods had been fished away by Qi Yuan.

Thus, the ugly crone’s death was destined to make no sound.

Yet this time, Qi Yuan was very careful, deliberately holding back so as not to shatter the ugly crone’s storage pouch.

“Killing a snitch feels so refreshing!”

Qi Yuan mused idly.

Suddenly, he felt a bit troubled.

“Should I start reflecting?”

“This precise retaliation against the informant… if it got out online, wouldn’t that be bad?”

After all, the moment someone reported him, he killed them.

The problem this exposed was actually quite serious.

At worst, it could corrupt social morals.

“No matter, she’s dead, no one knows.”

Thinking this, Qi Yuan felt lucky again.

As long as no one knew, social morals wouldn’t be corrupted.

No big deal.

So saying, he opened the ugly crone’s storage pouch and searched for treasures.

“Eh… a Transcendent Jade, with Sister Horn’s aura, still warm?”

Qi Yuan suddenly understood something.

The last shred of guilt vanished without a trace.

“You dared to steal my things—you deserved to die!”

He rummaged further and found several divine techniques in the ugly crone’s pouch.

But most of these techniques were the same as those Qi Yuan had obtained from the Yang God Heavenly Venerable of the Demon Luo clan.

“Indeed, compared to White Moonlight, you’re too poor—you only stole and never bathed.”

Qi Yuan shrugged and turned back.

As for the ugly crone, dead was dead.

By the time the people at the Black Demon Abyss outpost discovered it, Qi Yuan would already be in the upper realm.

Returning from the ugly crone, Qi Yuan summoned Hong Yu again and asked about the upper realm.

He learned more about Yang Gods and the forces of the upper realm.

In the Sixth Heaven, the foremost power was the Supreme Principle Society.

It could be said that nearly all cultivators in the Supreme Principle Realm were registered with the Society.

This was related to the Society’s Creation Treasure.

The Society’s Creation Treasure was called the Wall of Supreme Principle.

Its name was very similar to the Gate of Supreme Principle.

Before this wall, Yang God Heavenly Venerables could more easily determine their path and comprehend their own supreme principle.

Thus, even the proud Yang God Heavenly Venerables had to bow their heads before the Supreme Principle Society, for not everyone was qualified to be invited to the Supreme Principle Discourse Assembly.

“I never thought this Demon Blaze Heavenly Venerable would be such a Pal—working for the Supreme Principle Society for so many years for free, just to get an invitation to the Supreme Principle Discourse Assembly?”

In Demon Blaze Heavenly Venerable’s cave, Qi Yuan found the invitation to the Supreme Principle Discourse Assembly.

This was what Demon Blaze Heavenly Venerable had earned after years of unpaid labor for the Society.

Now, it benefited Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan felt that the White Moonlight of the upper realm was quite generous.

There was another thing that surprised Qi Yuan.

That was, in the Sixth Heaven, the place with the most Yang Gods was actually the First Heaven.

However, many Yang Gods in the First Heaven were rogue cultivators, without any faction, sleeping in the wilderness, in seclusion seeking breakthroughs.

Not all Yang Gods had the chance to break through to the Supreme Principle Realm.

Nor did all Yang Gods humble themselves to work for the Supreme Principle Society for free to increase their chances.

Because of this, among Yang Gods, there was another group called “Alternative Yang Gods.”

“It is precisely because they cannot break through to the Supreme Principle that some Great Celestial Position Yang Gods have taken other paths!

Cultivating only divine power, or only strengthening their divine domain… such Alternative Yang Gods are stronger than ordinary Celestial Position Yang Gods.

The best among them can even rival Yang Gods of the Minor Supreme Principle Realm!

But… in the eyes of Yang God experts in the Major Supreme Principle Realm, they are too weak.” Hong Yu said earnestly.

In her heart, she was somewhat puzzled—this senior was a guest elder of the Black Demon Abyss, yet he was so unfamiliar with the upper realm.

It was as if he had just ascended.

But ordinary cultivators who ascended usually only reached the First Heaven.

Their strength would not be as great as Qi Yuan’s.

“Oh.” Qi Yuan looked at Hong Yu, then suddenly…

Ambush!

Hong Yu had no reaction and collapsed directly before Qi Yuan.

“Senior Brother, what are you doing?” Jiang Lingsu covered her mouth, a look of astonishment on her face.

“We’re about to go to the upper realm, so I have to stuff her into the underworld.

My underworld—better not let outsiders know.

Hehe, that ambush just now, wasn’t it unexpected? No one could react in time?”

Jiang Lingsu was speechless.

They had been chatting just fine—who knew you would ambush her?

"Senior Brother, don't ambush me—you have to warn me before you strike!" Jiang Lingsu couldn't help but say.

"Fine." Qi Yuan replied casually.

Suddenly, Jiang Lingsu thought of something, her gaze turning deep. "Ah, Senior Brother, maybe I should return to your Zi Mansion. Out here with you, people look at me strangely..."

Indeed, whoever saw her following Qi Yuan seemed taken aback.

Because her strength was far too weak.

Such power wasn't even fit to be a servant to someone of Senior Brother's realm.

Even Hongyu said nothing, but Jiang Lingsu, as a woman, could sense it in her expression.

She clung to Qi Yuan's arm, blinking. "Senior Brother, do you despise me for my low cultivation?"

"Why would I? Isn't everyone equal now?" Qi Yuan looked puzzled, then sighed. "Alas, the atmosphere in the Immortal Realm is far too poor!"

To Qi Yuan, whether Jiang Lingsu was at the Foundation Establishment stage, the Yang God stage, or a Dao Ancestor... she was still his wealthy little junior sister.

Cultivation sought freedom; if one considered themselves above others, freedom could never be attained.

Hearing this, Jiang Lingsu felt both joy and uncertainty. "I must cultivate diligently!"

"Keep it up, strive to become a Yuan Dan cultivator!" Qi Yuan said.

...

Within the Demon Luo Sacred Tower, the aura was as deep and vast as the sea.

Qi Yuan transformed into Demon Chi Tianzun, his entire being shrouded in black mist.

As he appeared, all the Yin Shen venerables of the Demon Luo clan bowed in reverence.

"Greetings, Tianzun!"

Whether venerables, great venerables, or myths, all lowered their proud heads at that moment.

For the one before them was Demon Chi Tianzun, the sole Yang Shen Tianzun of this Demon Luo Sacred Tower and the surrounding million miles—the true ruler!

In Blue Star terms, the domain governed by Demon Chi Tianzun was larger than the sun.

Most importantly, this region was no spiritual wasteland unfit for cultivation; it was quite suitable for cultivators.

"Hmm." Qi Yuan's acting was excellent.

On the Arch Star, he had feigned mental illness convincingly. Playing Demon Chi Tianzun was nothing.

He was entirely cloaked in darkness, his face obscured.

He stepped forward, entering the highest level of the Demon Luo Sacred Tower, where the teleportation array to the Sixth Heaven lay.

Activating such an array required many procedures.

But now, as Demon Chi Tianzun, these procedures were as nothing to him.

"Celestial Jade!"

Qi Yuan placed the Celestial Jade into the array, and his body entered the teleportation formation.

In that moment, heaven and earth shifted.

Meanwhile.

In another teleportation array of a Demon Luo Sacred Tower, spatial ripples spread, and a powerful aura surged.

A woman in purple robes descended from the Sixth Heaven to the Fifth Heaven.

The Yin Shen guarding the array saw her and showed reverence, lowering their heads.

For this woman was a core figure of the Black Demon Abyss!

"Blood Robe!"

The purple-robed woman, anxiety in her eyes, first flew toward the Black Demon Abyss outpost. After about a dozen breaths, she headed toward the Mi Luo Realm.

Yet she never saw that familiar figure!

"Damn it, where has he gone? Why... hasn't he received my message? Could he not be in the Fifth Heaven?"

The purple-robed woman was frantic.

Earlier, she had recorded the flickering light of the imprint, taken the teleportation array back to the Black Demon Abyss, and shown it to the ancestor.

But after seeing it, the ancestor's expression changed drastically, ordering her to secretly bring that person back to the ancestral land at all costs!

In that moment, the purple-robed woman understood that Blood Robe's bloodline was more terrifying than she had imagined.

Judging by the ancestor's demeanor, he wished he could descend himself.

But she knew that a powerhouse like the ancestor could not leave freely.

Thus, she was told to secretly bring Blood Robe up!

Yet now, Blood Robe was unreachable—how could she not be anxious?

"Could he have returned to the Second Heaven, or... gone to another heaven?"

The purple-robed woman's mind was in turmoil; she hadn't expected such a turn of events.

It had been less than a month since he left... how had he vanished?

Blood Robe, with his mediocre strength, where did he get a Celestial Jade?

Had he sold out?

Or had he received the small gift she sent?

"Someone, turn the Fifth Heaven upside down if you must, but find Blood Robe!" the purple-robed woman commanded upon returning to the Black Demon Abyss outpost.

Then she headed toward the top of the Demon Luo Sacred Tower, intending to return to the Black Demon Abyss headquarters and report this to the ancestor.

...

"So this is the Sixth Heaven?"

Standing in a pitch-black place, Qi Yuan squinted, curiosity and surprise in his eyes.

The space of the Fifth Heaven was somewhat similar to the Canglan Realm, differing only in spiritual energy density.

But the space of the Sixth Heaven... felt both solid and fragile.

"It seems the Sixth Heaven was indeed created by a Great Principle Realm powerhouse."

Otherwise, it wouldn't have that paradoxical feeling of fragility and solidity.

"Tianzun, Demon Kan Tianzun departed a few days ago. This is the array talisman for the Broken Moon Abyss!"

At that moment, the Demon Luo clan cultivator guarding the teleportation array respectfully handed over the talisman.

For the past half-month, they had guarded the Broken Moon Abyss in fear, lacking a Yang Shen Tianzun for security.

Now that Demon Chi Tianzun had arrived, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh." Qi Yuan took the talisman, and instantly, a flood of information poured into his mind.

The Upper Demon Abyss consisted of nineteen regions, each guarded by a Yang Shen of the Demon Luo clan.

Among these nineteen Yang Shen, including Qi Yuan, three were at the Principle level; the rest were at Minor Heaven or Major Heaven ranks.

Qi Yuan sat at the Broken Moon Abyss, and a nearby Yang God was the Principle-Realm Yang God of the Mara Clan.

These nineteen regions were linked into a single entity by the creation treasure Mara Well, unified in offense and defense.

"The Mara Clan is too pathetic—helping the Taihuang Palace fight the Moon God Palace, yet they still have to pay to wage war!"

The Mara Clan's Yang God was not qualified to remain in the Sixth Heaven indefinitely.

Thus, while the Mara Clan stayed in the Demon Abyss to battle the Moon God Palace, they had to pay tribute to the Taihuang Palace.

Upon learning this, Qi Yuan was speechless.

This Mara Clan—how miserably they had fallen.

Qi Yuan scanned the Mara Clan members present and said softly, "Is everyone here?"

This time he ascended, and the high-ranking members of the Broken Moon Abyss should all come to greet him.

The leading Mythical powerhouse's expression shifted repeatedly, and he bowed his head, saying, "That garrison commander of the Taihuang Palace seems to be delayed by some matters and has not come..."

This Mythical cultivator spoke very tactfully.

In truth, every garrison commander left by the Taihuang Palace in the Demon Abyss had their nostrils turned up, arrogant and overbearing, barely treating the Mara Clan as people.

Of course, this was related to the Mara Lord having the same hairstyle as Boiling Sheep.

Otherwise, why would the garrison commanders of the Taihuang Palace miss such an occasion?

If it were Demon Blaze Heavenly Lord here, he might feel some displeasure but would endure it.

But Qi Yuan was not Demon Blaze Heavenly Lord, so... he would not endure.

As for making a big fuss?

Sorry, that was the Mara Clan's affair, not his.

"Later, summon the Taihuang Palace's garrison commander here, and say I have a gift for him."

Qi Yuan spoke, his voice hoarse.

Upon hearing this, the Mara Clan cultivators present all changed expression slightly, followed by intense envy and jealousy.

The Taihuang Palace's garrison commander, truly...

Even a majestic being like a Yang God Heavenly Lord had to...

They were immensely envious and jealous.

Qi Yuan ignored their reactions and continued, "Help me investigate which region the Moon God Palace's Moon Maiden Jinli is fighting in."

The Demon Abyss was vast; in terms of area alone, it was larger than the Canglan Realm.

He wanted to determine which region the Moon Maiden Jinli was in, and then go find her.

However, he could not rashly venture into the Moon God Palace's territory now.

Otherwise, the Moon God Palace's defensive formations and creation treasures would attack him.

The battles of Yang Gods were confined to the fissures of the Demon Abyss.

"May I ask, Heavenly Lord..." a Mythical cultivator wondered.

Shouldn't a Heavenly Lord care about other Yang God Heavenly Lords?

Why be interested in a mere Moon Maiden?

"I once saw her portrait, was moved by her beauty, and found her divine.

I wish to find her and take her as my Dao companion."

Qi Yuan looked up, gazing at the myriad stars.

With one glance, he spotted the star belonging to Jinli.

In his eyes, there was deep longing, and also a faint trace of yearning.

At that moment, a Mythical cultivator frowned and then said, "Your subordinate has heard that this Moon Maiden seems to be at the Absolute Moon Abyss!"

"Oh, nearby?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.

According to the information from the formation talisman, the Absolute Moon Abyss was close to the Broken Moon Abyss.

The guardian of the Absolute Moon Abyss was one of the only two Principle-Realm Yang Gods in the Demon Abyss garrison.

"Yes, this Moon Maiden's talent is extremely high. She came to the Absolute Moon Abyss ten thousand years ago. When she first arrived, she seemed not yet a Great Venerable, but now she is already a Mythical!" This Mythical cultivator spoke of Moon Maiden Jinli with intense wariness in his eyes.

A smile appeared in Qi Yuan's eyes.

This feeling of hearing an old friend's name from another's lips was truly wonderful.
