Chapter 449: Finally Won the Argument Against Sister Horn!

Tai Ri Heavenly Venerable departed.

Black Sword looked at Mo Chi, his tone sincere: “Fellow Daoist is of the Mara clan, sharing the same origin as me. The Lin Ya Molt is imminent; we should visit each other more often.”

The Unique Hall issued a decree: the Lin Ya Molt would be presided over by Tai Huang Palace.

Even one as detached as Black Sword sensed a whiff of danger.

Especially with this Lin Ya Molt, where even a Supreme Venerable had fallen.

The Supreme Venerables most likely to fall—were they not himself, Mo Chi, and Tai Ri Heavenly Venerable?

None of the three had fully stepped into Ultimate Principle, and they were still far from the Great Ultimate Principle.

“No problem,” Qi Yuan replied casually.

At that moment, Black Sword turned to Mo Chi, his expression growing grave: “The Unique Hall has never meddled in the affairs of the Six Heavens. Tell me, how did Tai Huang Palace contact them, and how did they obtain the qualification to preside over the Lin Ya Molt?”

“Why?” Qi Yuan was too lazy to think.

“In past Lin Ya Molts, there was never a case of a Supreme Venerable falling.

So I suspect the Unique Hall was dissatisfied with the previous Lin Ya Molts.

Tai Huang Palace then promised the Unique Hall that a Supreme Venerable would fall, thus reaching an agreement.

The appearance of this Tai Ri Heavenly Venerable… don’t you think… it’s too coincidental?”

Black Sword’s gaze was deep as he studied Qi Yuan.

To him, not only was Tai Ri Heavenly Venerable’s appearance too sudden, but Mo Chi’s appearance was also abrupt.

Moreover, the Mara clan had always had good relations with Tai Huang Palace; perhaps there was some deal between them—that would be normal.

“You suspect Tai Huang Palace cultivated Tai Ri, offered him to the Unique Hall, and in exchange got to preside this time?” Qi Yuan, though not fond of using his brain, had perfect comprehension of language.

“Yes.” Black Sword’s eyes were dark, constantly watching Qi Yuan’s expression.

Though he knew it would reveal nothing.

“Any interest in returning to the Six Heavens and joining forces with me?” Black Sword extended an invitation.

“No,” Qi Yuan shook his head.

…

“What, still haven’t found Ten Suns Heavenly Venerable?”

In the Tai Huang Palace stronghold, the Great Ultimate Principle looked relaxed.

Tai Ci Heavenly Venerable bowed his head, his expression solemn: “This humble one is useless; I found no trace of Ten Suns Heavenly Venerable.

That person is very cautious; he must not have come to the Ultimate Principle Discourse Assembly!”

During the Ultimate Principle Discourse Assembly, Tai Ci Heavenly Venerable had been responsible for finding Ten Suns Heavenly Venerable.

“No matter, just a clown jumping around, only hiding deep.

When the Lin Ya Molt opens, the Supreme Venerables will patrol the heavens, and through the Star Realm, they will find Ten Suns’ true body. He will have nowhere to hide!”

The Unique Hall had also granted many permissions to Tai Huang Palace’s Supreme Venerables.

Before the Lin Ya Molt began, Tai Huang Palace needed to use the Star Realm to patrol the heavens, detect all Yang Gods, and ensure they entered the game.

Then, Ten Suns Heavenly Venerable’s identity and hiding place would be discovered.

Then, Tai Huang Palace would dispatch Yang God Heavenly Venerables to capture Ten Suns Heavenly Venerable.

Hearing this, Tai Ci Heavenly Venerable breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Tai Ci Heavenly Venerable thought of something and said softly, “Ghost Control Heaven intends to make a move against two prodigies of Black Demon Abyss—Black Sword and Blood Robe. Black Sword, he…”

Ghost Control Heaven had long been secretly colluding with Tai Huang Palace.

“Let them go!”

“But… Black Sword has comprehended the Supreme Ultimate Principle. If he falls now, it would be detrimental to the Supreme Venerable’s great plan,” Tai Ci Heavenly Venerable said, lowering his head.

For this Lin Ya Molt, the more Great Ultimate Principles died, the better.

If Black Sword died now, wouldn’t that be a waste?

“You fellow, you overestimate Ghost Control Heaven, and underestimate Black Demon Abyss, underestimate Black Sword.

One who has comprehended the Supreme Ultimate Principle—how could he fall so easily?

Or do you think he is that Blood Robe or something?” said the Great Ultimate Principle of Tai Huang Palace.

A prodigy like Blood Robe—if he died, he died.

What was Black Sword?

The lifeblood of Black Demon Abyss—how could he lack protection from a Great Ultimate Principle?

Ghost Control Heaven naturally knew this, but they still had to try—what if… they succeeded?

If not, they would only lose one or two Yang Gods.

“They say Blood Robe is the second Black Sword. I wonder if that’s true or false,” Tai Ci Heavenly Venerable said with a complex gaze.

“Hmph, the Supreme Ultimate Principle is not so easily comprehended. Blood Robe, at best, is just an ordinary Great Ultimate Principle.

But that Mo Chi is surprising.

I never expected the Mara clan to hide so deeply, lying dormant like this.”

On the other side.

Qi Yuan shed the identity of Mo Chi and returned to himself.

Now that the Ultimate Principle Discourse Assembly had just ended, disciples and Yang God Heavenly Venerables from the various sacred lands had not yet departed.

“Is this your sister? She’s quite sexy?”

Zi Yuan Da Xue looked at Qi Yi, curiosity on his face.

Qi Yi was tall and slender, with long, shapely jade legs, ample curves, and not a trace of fat on her waist—a figure perfect for dancing the shadow dance.

“Good genes,” Qi Yuan replied seriously.

Though money borrowed by skill need not be repaid,

Qi Yuan thought it over and decided he didn’t want to be called a cheapskate.

He prepared some spirit stones to return to Qi Yi.

He even planned to bring Qi Yi into the Buddha Land.

After all, no matter what, Qi Yi was the sister he had “acknowledged” in the game.

Moreover, after comprehending two Supreme Ultimate Principles, he vaguely felt a dense shadow of dark clouds hanging over his head.

Qi Yi had a special relationship with him; he didn’t want to implicate her, so he would send her to the Buddha Land for safety.

“She’s your sister—what does that have to do with your ‘genes’?” Zi Yuan Da Xue said exasperatedly. “Reversing the heavenly order… mmm…”

Mid-sentence, Zi Yuan Da Xue’s eyes widened in shock.

A sour and dense fullness rose in her throat, and she could not speak, only sob.

From her mouth, mushrooms sprouted endlessly, growing wildly, soon filling it completely.

Clearly, this was Qi Yuan's doing.

Qi Yuan looked at Ziyuan Daxue, beaming with delight.

Faced with Ziyuan Daxue's attack, Qi Yuan, socially anxious and tongue-tied, could not retaliate with words.

So, he activated Absolute Adaptation and Do as You Please simultaneously!

The effect of these two supreme principles flowing covertly was that mushrooms kept growing in Ziyuan Daxue's mouth, blocking her speech.

"What have you done to me? What kind of Dao art is this... Wuwu, Blood Robe is the most handsome, the most valiant and extraordinary... Wu..." Ziyuan Daxue tried to question him.

But the words that came out were distorted, turning into praise for Blood Robe.

"Ah, Sister Oxhorn, you do have some merits after all—finally hearing you speak the truth." Qi Yuan said smugly.

Ziyuan Daxue's face was furious, wanting to curse Qi Yuan, yet her expression involuntarily broke into a docile smile.

Qi Yuan was satisfied; these supreme principles were truly handy.

Still, being fair-minded, he quickly withdrew them.

Seeing the mushrooms vanish from her mouth, Ziyuan Daxue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Qi Yuan, no longer as relaxed, her face full of wariness: "What kind of Dao art is this?"

At that moment, she dared not be cheeky again.

She never wanted to experience that feeling again.

"What Dao art? This is my supreme principle!" Qi Yuan declared proudly.

"Pfft, do you think you're Senior Brother Black Sword?" Ziyuan Daxue pouted.

Qi Yi stood quietly nearby, not daring to interrupt.

"Enough, I need to prepare to pay respects to Moonflower Heavenly Venerable. The visiting card has been sent; I reckon by now... it's arrived?" Qi Yuan mused, lost in thought.

He wanted to meet Moonflower Heavenly Venerable and ask about his master, Ruan Yixi.

"...That's a Great Principle—do you think you can see her just because you want to? Unless you've comprehended a supreme principle!" Ziyuan Daxue retorted stubbornly.

Qi Yuan looked at her thoughtfully: "I think you're more charming when mushrooms are spewing from your mouth!"

"You..." Ziyuan Daxue quickly covered her mouth, terrified, "You fiend..."

Without a second thought, she fled.

She was already pondering how to deal with Blood Robe.

Elsewhere, at the Moon God Palace's stronghold.

Moonflower Heavenly Venerable looked troubled.

She had reported the matter of the gathering to Moon God Primordial Lord.

Moon God Primordial Lord had yet to respond, and she was consumed with worry.

Taihuang Palace was already a sworn enemy of Moon God Palace, and now hosting the Linya Cocoon was dire news for Moon God Palace.

She knew that if this news spread, the already unstable morale within Moon God Palace would worsen.

"Moonflower Heavenly Venerable, Blood Robe, a disciple of the Black Abyss, seeks an audience." At that moment, a young woman entered, head bowed, with a respectful expression.

"Blood Robe?" After a moment's thought, Moonflower Heavenly Venerable recalled the name. "No audience."

She refused without hesitation.

After all, Blood Robe was merely a Yin Shen prodigy with some renown, but not qualified to seek an audience with a Great Principle like her.

The young woman hesitated, then said nervously: "Demonblaze Heavenly Venerable wrote a letter of recommendation."

Moonflower Heavenly Venerable's expression suddenly stiffened.

Demonblaze Heavenly Venerable, born of the Molo clan, was at war with Moon God Palace.

And he recommended Blood Robe to see her.

The implication was thought-provoking.

"Let him in." Moonflower Heavenly Venerable said calmly.

About a hundred breaths later, Qi Yuan entered the great hall.

Moonflower Heavenly Venerable sat behind a curtain, her form indistinct.

"Greetings, Moonflower Heavenly Venerable!" Qi Yuan, though bold, remained courteous.

"Hmm, what is your relationship with Demonblaze Heavenly Venerable, that he would recommend you to see me? Surely you know that Moon God Palace and the Molo clan are at war?" Moonflower Heavenly Venerable's tone was blunt.

In an instant, a powerful pressure swept over, and Qi Yuan once again felt the might of a Great Principle.

Vast as the ocean, unfathomable.

"Demonblaze Heavenly Venerable and I share some acquaintance." Qi Yuan replied calmly.

Moonflower Heavenly Venerable looked at him with a complex gaze, but did not press further.

After all, for a Great Principle to hound a Yin Shen would be beneath her dignity.

"What do you seek?"

"I wish to inquire about some information from you, senior." Qi Yuan produced the Moon Token. "This was bestowed by my master, the Moon Token. Some time ago, I met a senior from Moon God Palace, and that Heavenly Venerable said it is connected to... the previous generation's Moon God Primordial Lord."

Qi Yuan did not hide it.

Asking would inevitably expose him.

Moonflower Heavenly Venerable would surely consult Longmoon Heavenly Venerable, and thus learn of Qi Yuan's earlier questions.

Moonflower Heavenly Venerable's expression suddenly sharpened.

The Moon Token in Qi Yuan's hand floated into the air.

"What is your master's name?" Moonflower Heavenly Venerable asked, her gaze deep, as if recalling some past event.

"Ruan Yixi."

Hearing this, Moonflower Heavenly Venerable's expression did not change: "I have never heard that name."

Qi Yuan felt a pang of disappointment.

"This Moon Token belonged to the previous generation's Moon God Primordial Lord. I wonder what connection my master has with her, and where the previous Moon God Primordial Lord... is now?" Qi Yuan asked again.

Moonflower Heavenly Venerable narrowed her eyes: "Perhaps in a while, you will learn news of the Linya Cocoon.

In the last Linya Cocoon, the previous generation's Moon God Primordial Lord vanished."

"What?" Qi Yuan was astonished.

His instincts told him Moonflower Heavenly Venerable was not lying.

"This is a secret of the Sixth Heaven. There are rumors that the previous Moon God Primordial Lord fell into the Solemn Hall, but that is merely hearsay." Moonflower Heavenly Venerable said. "As for your master, Ruan Yixi... I speculate she might have been the previous generation's Moon Maiden.

Back then, when the Moon God Primordial Lord vanished, the attendant Moon Maiden also disappeared."

Moonflower Heavenly Venerable never considered that Ruan Yixi and the previous Moon God Primordial Lord were the same person.

If the previous Moon God Primordial Lord had vanished, how could she reappear and take a disciple?

So, most likely, she was the Moon Maiden of the previous generation who served the Moon God Primordial Lord.

As for the name, it might be a false name.

The previous generation's Moon God Primordial Lord, though a Great Principle, was not a Great Principle who had comprehended the Supreme Principle.

Qi Yuan's emotions were complex upon hearing these tidings.

Still no news of his master?

To be honest, he was somewhat anxious, with many conjectures in his heart.

He had arrived at the Sixth Heaven and met the people of the Moon God Palace.

If his master were here, she would surely come to see him.

Could it be that his master was trapped?

Or perhaps she had some unknown hardship?

"I never expected you to have such a deep connection with my Moon God Palace," said Moon Hua Heavenly Venerable.

Suddenly, her expression changed drastically.

For she had already contacted Long Moon Heavenly Venerable.

Long Moon Heavenly Venerable told her what had happened to Qi Yuan in the Abyss of Demons back then.

Back then, in the Abyss of Demons, Qi Yuan lay low, went to the Moon God Palace, met the Moon Maiden Jinli, and also had a pleasant conversation with Long Moon Heavenly Venerable.

According to what Qi Yuan had said at the time, he had subdued Demon Blaze Heavenly Venerable and infiltrated the Abyss of Demons under that identity, meeting Jinli.

That meant that the Demon Blaze of the Mara clan had long ceased to be the original Demon Blaze; it was Qi Yuan.

"You... you are Demon Blaze!" Moon Hua Heavenly Venerable's mind shook, and a look of ecstasy appeared on her face.

Qi Yuan was not surprised to hear this.

He had revealed so much information at the Moon God Palace; if Moon Hua Heavenly Venerable still could not guess, her mind would definitely be flawed—she would need to drink nutrient fluid.

"Please, Heavenly Venerable, do not divulge this," Qi Yuan said.

Hearing this, Moon Hua Heavenly Venerable was certain in her heart.

Originally, Demon Blaze Heavenly Venerable was born of the Mara clan; if the Mara clan gained another Supreme Venerable, the Moon God Palace would be in peril.

Now, this Demon Blaze was actually Qi Yuan, the Blood Robe, not only connected to the previous generation's Moon God Primordial Lord and deeply linked to the Moon God Palace, but also... entangled in deep emotional ties with the Moon Maiden Jinli.

How could she not be delighted?

It could be said that since attending the Principle Discourse Assembly, she had not heard a single piece of good news.

Now, this was the only good news she had heard, and she felt refreshed.

"This matter, I naturally will not divulge," Moon Hua Heavenly Venerable said, looking at Qi Yuan with increasing satisfaction. "That girl Jinli... the Moon Maiden I once met—I never expected her taste to be so excellent!"

Moon Hua Heavenly Venerable stepped out from behind the curtain, her face beaming with smiles.

"When will you two marry and become dao companions?"

"Ah... Jinli is still the Moon Maiden; she must meet the Moon God Primordial Lord and have her status as Moon Maiden revoked before she can leave with me," Qi Yuan replied earnestly.

Having comprehended two Supreme Principles, he had gained some ability to protect himself.

Facing the Taihuang Palace, or even a Great Principle, he was not merely waiting for death.

Moreover, Ning Tao and the Canary Wife had been helping him refine the Sun Golden Pill all along!

His strength had been rapidly increasing.

"These matters are all trivial," Moon Hua Heavenly Venerable said with a wave of her hand. "If you are willing to marry Jinli, she can cease to be the Moon Maiden right now..."

Then, as if thinking of something, she added, "Or she may retain the status of Moon Maiden as well."
