Chapter 160: Young Father, Billions of Children

Chapter 160: Young Father, Billions of Children

The Phoenix Orchid Kingdom was weak, possessing only three cities.

These three cities were defended by ten generals, who had fought valiantly to protect them.

Now, seven of the ten generals had perished, leaving only three remaining.

A tall and sturdy general, with white hair, gazed into the distance, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"General Qi, what's the situation?" A slightly immature voice sounded, and the young queen, in her simple attire, approached gracefully.

"The Demon Clan's army outnumbers us several times over. It's a difficult battle!" General Qi's expression was grave.

The defending forces were smaller than the attacking army, but that wasn't the main concern.

The Demon Clan was the real threat.

Each member of the Demon Clan was a formidable warrior, comparable to a First Realm cultivator.

After the great changes in the Heaven and Earth, the martial path flourished, and powerful cultivators emerged in the Moonlit Continent.

However, compared to the Demon Clan, the gap in strength was still immense.

The Phoenix Orchid Kingdom had only a few Third Realm cultivators and Luo Xi, who had returned from the Moon Emperor Dynasty with Fourth Realm cultivation.

According to the Canglan Realm's classification, the Third Realm was equivalent to the Primordial Core Realm.

Among the soldiers, the probability of finding a martial artist was one in ten.

"I wonder if Luo Xi has managed to bring reinforcements," the young queen said with a somber expression.

Hearing this, General Qi remained silent.

The conditions set by Luo Xi were not enough to convince people from other realms to come to their aid.

Moreover, people from other realms were not necessarily trustworthy.

They were just a weaker version of the Demon Clan.

The young queen's face hardened, and she said resolutely, "Even without reinforcements, I will fight to the death to protect our kingdom!"

"We are willing to die for the Phoenix Orchid Kingdom, and for the Moonlit Continent!" General Qi declared solemnly.

This war was not just about the survival of a nation but also the fate of the entire realm.

The people of the Moonlit Continent had become a delicacy for foreign invaders.

Only by fighting with all their might could they have a glimmer of hope.

Just then, a faint voice echoed through the air.

"I don't need you to die for me."

Five figures appeared out of thin air on the city wall.

General Qi's hand instinctively went to the hilt of his sword at his waist.

However, upon seeing Luo Xi, his vigilance lessened slightly, but he kept his hand on the sword hilt.

"Your Majesty, these are allies from the Canglan Realm," Luo Xi quickly introduced.

The queen, upon hearing this, smiled with her youthful face, "Greetings, everyone."

Qi Yuan glanced at the queen.

For some reason, he thought of Jin Li.

Jin Li must have been around the same age as the queen.

"Hmm, is that all of the Demon Clan?" Qi Yuan looked towards the city walls and saw the vast, continuous military camps, a spectacular sight.

General Qi was puzzled, wondering what he meant by 'all of them.'

"We don't know when the senior's sect will arrive, but we are willing to be the vanguard and slay these demons!" General Qi responded.

The young queen also looked at Qi Yuan with anticipation, as he seemed far too young.

"I'm in a hurry. After killing the demons here, I still need to go to the other six kingdoms."

A look of confusion flashed through General Qi's eyes.

The young queen also turned to Luo Xi, wanting to understand what was happening.

At that moment, Qi Yuan's gaze pierced through the distance, and he saw the Demon Clan—tall, with monstrous appearances, and their skin alternating between black and blue. Their backs were covered in dense scales.

Their mouths were open, revealing teeth stained with green liquid.

The most striking feature was the crimson scar on their foreheads, resembling burning flames.

A blood-red sword appeared in Qi Yuan's hand.

Qi Yuan's eyes seemed to travel through time.

In a blizzard, he had led the Moon Maiden, slaughtering the Hundred Cities Alliance.

The mysterious Black Robed Guard had fallen like a dead dog under his sword.

Now, the Demon Clan had invaded the Moonlit Continent.

As the guardian of this realm's Heavenly Dao, Qi Yuan would not hold back.

Qi Yuan wiped the sword, as if removing the blood-red dust from its surface.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the sword in Qi Yuan's hand, their eyes revealing involuntary fear and awe.

They seemed to see a slaughtering demon god!

The killing intent emanating from this foreigner shook the heavens and earth.

Could such a killing god truly be the savior of the Phoenix Orchid Kingdom?

However, as Qi Yuan wiped away the blood-red dust from the sword, a brilliant light erupted.

The citizens of the Phoenix Orchid Kingdom saw the white radiance and felt a strange warmth, as if they had found a familiar presence.

It was as if they had seen their emperor and their god!

A vast voice echoed, like a divine being, "I have a sword that extinguishes dust and brings forth light.

Slaying the demons, a million flowers bloom."

The blood-red sword in Qi Yuan's hand broke free and soared towards the sky.

Endless light and sword beams emanated from the sword, directly charging towards the Demon Clan's camp.

"Enemy attack!" A hurried voice rang out from the camp.

The endless light and sword beams engulfed them.

Most of the Demon Clan had no time to react and were instantly melted by the sword beams.

Eight thousand Demon Clan warriors, including Divine Infancy Realm cultivators, turned to ashes under the power of that sword.

In just three breaths.

The endless sword beams flashed, and the Demon Clan's camp was flattened!

Before the crowd could recover from the shock, they saw blood-red flowers sprouting from the scorched earth.

The battlefield had transformed into a sea of flowers in an instant.

Qi Yuan smiled, "Since you dared to invade my home, stay and become fertilizer for these flowers!"

Great Sage True Monarch raised his thumb, "Your Excellency truly understands the art of waste utilization."

Jiang Ya, standing nearby, stared at Qi Yuan, speechless.

As for General Qi and the young queen, their eyes widened, and their bodies trembled slightly.

What kind of power was this... What realm was he in? Could it be the Fifth Realm?

Luo Xi stared at Qi Yuan's sword, his heart stirred with immense emotions, "Your sword technique... It's familiar!"

Indeed, in Qi Yuan's sword technique, he saw traces of the Great Priest's Sword Technique.

"Is it?"

Qi Yuan glanced at Luo Xi, his mind filled with endless thoughts. "Let's go to the next kingdom."

With a wave of his large sleeve, Qi Yuan didn't linger. He left with Jiang Ya, Great Sage True Monarch, Xu Tongchen, and others, disappearing instantly.

Only a young and surprised queen and General Qi were left behind.

"Just like that, he's gone?" the young queen was puzzled.

This person arrived quickly and left just as suddenly.

Everything seemed like a dream. If it weren't for the sea of flowers in front of the city, she might think it was all an illusion. "Teacher Luo Xi, what price did you pay to invite this senior here?" General Qi asked with a look of concern. The young queen's heart also skipped a beat.

How could such a powerful figure from another realm cooperate with them?

"There... was no price."

Luo Xi's words left everyone on the scene in shock.

No price?

Who didn't know that in the Canglan Realm, all cultivators valued benefits above all else.

Back then, to get a group of Divine Infancy Cultivators to help, not only did they have to cede a few cities, but they also had to send several princesses and princes to become servants.

Was this young man really... so great?

"He said, the Moon Viewing Continent is his home."

"Since a guest came to his home, he naturally would send them away himself!"

Everyone on the scene was taken aback.

A strange light flashed in the young queen's eyes. "Could it be that this senior is from our Moon Viewing Continent?"

General Qi was also stunned.

Could there really be such a thing?

Luo Xi's eyes were profound. "His sword just now... I felt a sense of familiarity."

"Who... exactly is he?"

...

Radiant Light flew across the sky.

Everyone was silent, as if Qi Yuan's sword just now had stunned them.

Jiang Ya looked at Qi Yuan and couldn't help but ask, "Can I make a suggestion?"

Qi Yuan was taken aback for a moment. "Feel free to suggest."

This was a wealthy lady, and he needed to cling to her.

"Before leaving, can't they offer us their cultivation arts?" Jiang Ya followed, largely for the purpose of collecting cultivation arts from this realm.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan immediately felt a great loss, regretting not thinking of it sooner.

Every time Jiang Ya obtained a cultivation art, he missed out on five!

"I should have reminded you earlier." Qi Yuan glanced at Feng Gui, but it was too late to see anything.

He wouldn't be returning.

He had to continue slaying the Mara Clan members.

He realized that slaying the Mara Clan could shorten the time needed to regain control over the Heavenly Dao of this realm.

So, slay after slay, until the blood flowed like a river!

Aim to regain control over the Heavenly Dao of this realm before the Dark Deity of the Mara clan discovered him.

Then, he would have much more confidence.

...

Five days passed in a flash, and Qi Yuan led everyone, moving without rest,, slaying everywhere.

In the lands of seven kingdoms, nearly a hundred thousand Mara Clan members were all massacred by Qi Yuan's sword.

This time, he didn't leave hastily. Instead, he would have the local monarchs start gathering cultivation arts as soon as he arrived.

After slaying the Mara clan members, he would stay for a few hours, waiting for the cultivation arts to be collected before moving on to other kingdoms to continue slaying the Mara clan.

Undeniably, slaying the Mara clan brought back the feeling of leveling up in the Moon Viewing Continent for Qi Yuan.

Each time he slayed a member of the Mara clan, he felt that he was one step closer to regaining control over the Heavenly Dao of this realm.

This sense of advancement and progression filled him with a sense of achievement.

Standing in the imperial palace of the last of the seven kingdoms, Qi Yuan, dressed in a blood-red robe, looked remarkably extraordinary.

Even Jiang Ya's gaze towards Qi Yuan became peculiar, as if she saw a true ogre.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Xu Tongchen felt the same way.

And Great Sage True Monarch had directly asked on the road, "Senior, the amount of blood qi on your body is terrifying. Just how many lives have you slaughtered?"

Qi Yuan had then replied, "I can't remember, too many to count."

This made Jiang Ya even more certain that the Blood Robe Sword God was a true ogre.

Standing there, the cultivators couldn't help but feel fear, and ordinary people would be plagued by nightmares, desperately trying to avoid him.

However, what Jiang Ya saw here was different from what she imagined.

The ordinary people, the nobles, and the royalty, all looked at Qi Yuan with reverence and affection.

Though, the Blood Robe Sword God had indeed saved them!

However, the fear and trembling in their bones couldn't be hidden.

Yet, Jiang Ya didn't notice any trembling from these people.

They looked at the Blood Robe Sword God, not seeing an ogre but a hero.

"Senior, here are all the cultivation arts. Even our royal family's clan techniques and secret arts are included!" The king of Wei presented the cultivation arts, his face showing a fawning expression.

In the grand hall, the civil and military officials all looked at Qi Yuan, their eyes filled with longing.

Jiang Ya also noticed that some children were secretly peeking through the curtains, looking at the Blood Robe Sword God with admiration.

Her heart was filled with doubt.

Was there something wrong with these people, or was there something wrong with her?

Qi Yuan took the cultivation arts and handed them to Jiang Ya.

Jiang Ya hurriedly stored the cultivation arts in her storage bag.

Qi Yuan, holding the map, asked, "Are there many Mara clan members in the kingdom of Chuang?"

The kingdom of Chuang was about a thousand miles away from the capital of Wei. Qi Yuan had to pass through the kingdom of Chuang to reach the Moon Emperor Dynasty.

"A lot!" The king of Wei nodded and reminded softly, "Senior, in the kingdom of Chuang, there are many cultivators from the Canglan Realm. These cultivators aren't as selfless as you. If you go to slay the Mara clan members in Chuang, you might... offend them."

The king of Wei's reminder was not without reason.

The kingdom of Chuang had spent a great deal to invite a group of Divine Infancy Cultivators to help deal with the Mara clan.

Qi Yuan went there, not asking for any territory, but just for some cultivation techniques, and he thoroughly exterminated the Mara clan members.

Naturally, this would offend the Divine Infancy Cultivators who had helped, and they might even hate Qi Yuan.

"No problem, I'm a reasonable person. I will definitely convince them with reason." Qi Yuan said without hesitation.

"Senior's reason is the supreme and true reason, I wholeheartedly agree.

"The Great Sage True Monarch nodded in agreement.

But Jiang Ya was speechless.

Is this reasonable?

This is clearly murder, beheading!"

She was suspicious that the Great Sage True Monarch, by following the Blood Robe Sword God, would definitely be influenced, and his master, upon seeing him stray, would likely be furious enough to emerge from his secluded cultivation.

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at the civil and military officials present and casually said, "Farewell!"

The tiger-like eyes of the Wei Kingdom's monarch instantly revealed a reluctant expression, "Senior... take care!"

The nobles and even the imperial guards all looked at Qi Yuan, some with tears in their eyes and others filled with reluctance.

It was as if their own father was leaving, no, even closer than their father!

The atmosphere suddenly became... eerie, at least for Jiang Ya.

She felt goosebumps on her back.

She didn't understand why it was like this?

These people's emotions... were too intense!

And... it didn't seem like an act, was it worth it?

'Let's go,' Qi Yuan said, without looking at the people below, and left directly with Jiang Ya and the others.

Inside the palace, cries filled the air, even more spectacular than before.

Jiang Ya's heart was filled with confusion, "Senior... why do they treat you like this?"

She couldn't help but ask.

Too strange.

"Because I saved them," Qi Yuan said matter-of-factly.

Jiang Ya didn't believe it.

She would be grateful if a great demon saved her, but more than that, she would be fearful.

As for the people of Moonlit Continent before her, their fervent gazes made her see the Ogre... as their father.

Seeing Jiang Ya's disbelief, Qi Yuan's expression became desolate, "I never thought that at such a young age, not yet twenty, I would become a father, and... I have over a hundred million children."

He was the Heavenly Dao of this world.

So, in a certain sense, the creatures of Moonlit Continent were indeed his children.

Jiang Ya was dumbfounded.

The Great Sage True Monarch spoke, "Based on my years of experience, the factors of life are in the billions.

In theory, if the conditions of both Dao companions are suitable, they can give birth to a hundred million children at once.

I've been researching this.

If my Second Core Technique cannot progress further, then I'll let my countless descendants go out into the world."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan admired the Great Sage True Monarch even more.

Where is the wisdom here? This is foolishness, a wise fool!

"The Great Sage True Monarch understands so much," Qi Yuan couldn't help but praise.

The Great Sage True Monarch replied, "The Dao is hidden in life, as long as you have the ability to discover the Dao and learn to summarize.

For example, I've realized that if I abstain for half a day, it's as if I've abstained for half my life.

So those lecherous individuals are not truly lecherous, but rather, their abstinence has lasted a long time."

"The Great Dao is simple!" Qi Yuan couldn't help but praise again.

In fact, he had also discovered that in the mortal realm, those who live long are usually the elders.

Jiang Ya didn't want to speak.

At this moment, her inner doubts remained unresolved.

"Senior... is Moonlit Continent really your home?" She asked, steering the conversation back on track.

Otherwise, the two of them would start discussing the Dao again.

"Yes," Qi Yuan nodded firmly, not hiding anything.

"Senior, did you... originate from Moonlit Continent?" Jiang Ya recalled her first meeting with the Blood Robe Sword God, and she had sensed that the Primordial Core on the Blood Robe Sword God seemed incompatible with the Canglan Realm.

"It's half true, I'm here... to establish the Heavenly Dao!" Qi Yuan looked up at the sky.

"Establish the Heavenly Dao?" Jiang Ya was puzzled upon hearing this.

She looked at Qi Yuan intently, wanting to discover something, but unfortunately, she couldn't find anything.

...

Invading Country.

The young prince was holding a basin of foot-washing water, his expression neither sad nor happy.

The girl beside him couldn't help but speak, "Your Highness, why didn't you listen to Senior Zhang Yan's suggestion? Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered such humiliation."

Half a year ago, Invading Country faced a crisis as the Demon Legion invaded.

The emperor of Invading Country personally sought help from the Divine Infancy Cultivators of the Canglan Realm.

In the end, they ceded five cities and selected nine princes and princesses to go as servants.

Among them, a Divine Infancy Cultivator named Zhang Yan took a liking to Zhao Ci and wanted to take him as a disciple.

However, Zhao Ci refused, which angered Zhang Yan, and he was subjected to various humiliations.

"Your Highness, you know that I admire the Faceless Sword God the most.

I've already joined the Faceless God Sect, and I can't switch to another sect!"

Five thousand years ago, the Faceless God Sect began.

The Faceless God Sect worshipped the Faceless Sword God.

According to rumors, in ancient times, evil demons from beyond invaded Moonlit Continent.

At that time, the people of Moonlit Continent suffered greatly.

Under the ancient cypress tree, millions of Moonlit Continent citizens who resisted the foreign evil demons were hanging.

The Faceless Sword God couldn't bear to see the suffering of the people, so he fought alone against three thousand foreign evil demons.

Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes dimmed, "Moonlit Continent... is half your home?"

The rumors about the Faceless Sword God were too ancient, and the girl didn't believe it.

But thinking of something, the girl's eyes lit up, "Your Highness, do you know the Blood Robe Sword God who slaughtered the Mara Clan? Do you think... he can help Invading Country through this crisis?"

Zhao Ci didn't speak upon hearing this, he only sighed.

Through Zhang Yan, he had indirectly learned about the power distribution in the eastern lands of the Canglan Realm.

The three Venerables were absolutely the top powerhouses.

Their Fifth Realm Cultivators numbered in the hundreds.

According to their description, the Blood Robe Sword God was merely a Fifth Realm Cultivator.

He knocked on the door with the basin of foot-washing water and entered the room.

The Divine Infancy Cultivator named Zhang Yan glanced at Zhao Ci, his eyes filled with contempt, "Do you really think that Blood Robe Sword God can help Invading Country?"

Zhao Ci's heart skipped a beat, and he remained silent.
