Chapter 168: Snacks for the Dark Deity

Chapter 168: Snacks for the Dark Deity

The Dark Deity descended, and the Purple Mansion resonated with music.

As quickly as it came, it vanished into the horizon.

After slaying a Primordial Core cultivator, it disappeared without a trace.

In the small city of Liqi, Wang Shenghai's name resounded, making him the first celebrity.

When asked about his fame, the people of Liqi would reply, "He was the first cultivator in Liqi City to be slain by the Dark Deity Venerable."

At this time, Qi Yuan had already assumed the identity of the Blood Robe Sword God and entered the Divine Flower Society forum.

"Cleansing the Cultivation World's Atmosphere, Starting with Me, the Blood Robe Sword God, I'm here to make things right!"

"Recalling the past, when I first joined the Divine Flower Society, everyone here spoke with such eloquence and courtesy.

I don't know when, but the atmosphere here has turned sour, filled with malevolent energy.

Especially recently, many have slandered and spread rumors about me on the forum, causing me deep distress. I couldn't eat or sleep, and I almost developed Yuyu Syndrome.

I had to take medicine every day just to get some rest.

Sometimes, it's not just blades or spells that kill, but words too.

Just now, I visited Liqi City and executed those cultivators who had defamed and slandered me.

I will personally educate those who have wronged me."

"Is this for real?"

"Is the big shot still sleeping?"

"I never expected the Dark Deity Venerable to be so sentimental. Mom, hug the precious blood treasure, it's not painful, be good."

"Strongly supported! The Blood Robe Sword God is invincible! Kill those disgusting people!" Fox Cave Xiao Li quickly replied.

She never imagined that the Blood Robe Sword God would empathize with her.

When she argued with those people, she was so upset that she almost became depressed.

Some, especially those who had verbally attacked the Blood Robe Sword God, began to panic.

"Senior, as a Dark Deity Venerable, you should be magnanimous. Why stoop to the level of petty people? It's beneath you."

"Yes, that's the act of a demonic cultivator!"

Seeing these comments, Qi Yuan coldly smiled and asked Qi Jianjun to take note. He replied, "I, a barbarian, have no manners!"

Great Sage True Monarch's eyes filled with envy, and he said, "A true man should be like this."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan thought of Liu Bang.

He glanced at the Great Sage True Monarch, "Did your mother dream of a dragon when she gave birth to you?"

"No, but I dreamed of golden light falling from the sky," replied the Great Sage True Monarch.

"That must have been the light of wisdom," Qi Yuan said, and he also replied on the Divine Flower Society forum, "Next stop, Paying Homage City. Those who understand will know."

At that moment in Paying Homage City, a young woman in embroidered robes turned pale.

"Help!"

She stumbled into a cave residence, calling out loudly.

Soon, an elder with a terrifying aura appeared, his face kind and amiable.

"What's wrong, who's bullying my Little Butterfly?" The elder, named Yan Yiqi, had entered the Late-stage Purple Mansion years ago and became the Supreme Elder of the Rising Sun Sect. He was in his prime.

The young woman before him was his most beloved descendant.

"Grand Elder, please save me... Waaah," the young woman pleaded, her eyes brimming with tears, looking especially pitiful.

Yan Yiqi's heart ached, "Quickly, who dares to bully my Little Butterfly?"

"Grand Elder, I saw a senior acting arrogantly on the Divine Flower Society forum, killing innocents. I privately spoke a few words against him.

Who knew he'd have such a petty heart and want to come to Paying Homage City to kill me!" The young woman was completely flustered but still managed to exaggerate the story.

After all, she wasn't in the wrong.

"How dare he! Just a few words from a junior, and he wants to come here? That's the act of a demonic cultivator!

If everyone did this, wouldn't the Cultivation World be in chaos?

Quickly, tell me his name and cultivation. If he dares to come, I'll have a word with him!" Yan Yiqi declared valiantly.

In her heart, the young woman thought, "Grand Elder, he's the Blood Robe Sword God, the Dark Deity Venerable, from the Divine Flower Society."

"..." Yan Yiqi's heart skipped a beat, "What did you say?"

"He's already made his threat. He just killed a cultivator in Liqi City and is now rushing to Paying Homage City. Grand Elder, it's not Little Butterfly's fault. It's the Blood Robe Sword God's narrow-mindedness." The young woman cried, putting on a pitiful act, knowing that this approach always worked.

No matter what mistake she made, it would be advantageous.

Yan Yiqi's expression changed, and he grabbed Little Butterfly's Divine Flower Society jade slip, reading it for a while. His beard almost stood on end, "You dare defame the Dark Deity Venerable! You've eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!"

"Grand Elder, it's not..." Little Butterfly tried to struggle, but she couldn't get the words out.

In the following days, similar incidents occurred repeatedly.

Each time Qi Yuan went to a city, he would announce it in advance.

Cultivators from those cities and even nearby ones would gather early, eager to witness the spectacle.

After all, it was the Dark Deity, a legendary figure rarely seen in ten thousand years.

When the big shot appeared, the Purple Mansion would resonate with music.

These small fry cultivators rarely witnessed the Purple Mansion, let alone hear its music.

Meanwhile, the arrogant cultivators who had slandered others on the Divine Flower Society forum were already bound by their sects and handed over to the Blood Robe Sword God for punishment.

The Blood Robe Sword God swept through, following the internet lines to personally punish the offenders.

This earnest yet comical act indeed shocked the Eastern Lands.

Many sect leaders issued orders, forbidding their younger disciples from casually slandering powerful cultivators in their communication arrays.

Even those cultivators who were skilled in verbal warfare became silent.

To some extent, the atmosphere in the Cultivation World had indeed improved.

Thunderclap Continent.

The Rogue Immortal Venerable sat in front of a pill furnace, deep in thought.

"Watch the fire!" A stern voice commanded.

The Rogue Immortal Venerable's spirits lifted, and he quickly turned his attention to the fire in the pill furnace.

"This batch of pills must be perfect; I'm refining them for the Great Power Ye Chen!" the elder reminded him from the side, "Our sect is going through a challenging period, and we need to foster good relationships."

The Yaochang Sect was a large sect on Thunderclap Continent, boasting a Supreme Elder in the Late-stage Purple Mansion.

The Supreme Elder had been in seclusion for over a hundred years and hadn't shown himself.

Rumors outside suggested that the Yaochang Sect's founding ancestor had long passed away, and their arch-rival was secretly keeping tabs on them, constantly suppressing the sect's influence.

The Rogue Immortal Venerable gazed at the flames in the pill furnace, a look of bewilderment in his eyes, "Master, I want to improve. I don't want to remain on the Eastern Heaven's Young Geniuses List anymore."

Even on this trip to the Crimson Cloud Continent, he still couldn't make it onto the list.

Upon hearing this, the Pill Fabricating True Monarch showed a kind smile, "It's rare to see such ambition in you. I hope you and Ji En can both make it onto the Eastern Heaven's Young Geniuses List and enter the Purple Mansion Realm."

"I have some experience regarding pill condensation and infant formation. Take a look at this."

Seeing that his usually lazy disciple finally showed ambition, the True Monarch felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Master, I don't want to condense and form an infant," the Rogue Immortal Venerable said hesitantly.

"Hmm, do you want to refine it further?"

"No, I want to... refine and form an infant again.

The first-grade Golden Core I formed is too weak; it's not impressive at all."

"No!" The True Monarch quickly replied, "A first-grade Golden Core has surpassed ninety-nine percent of cultivators; it's good enough.

If you refine and form an infant again, it's a waste of time. Even if you form a fourth-grade Golden Core, what's the point? Can you beat those with a first-grade Golden Core who have already formed Divine Infants?"

"Master, I don't want to form a fourth-grade Golden Core. I want to form a stronger one," the Rogue Immortal Venerable insisted.

"Stronger? How strong?" The True Monarch looked at him with exasperation, "Even a Divine Grade Golden Core is only remarkable for its potential."

"I... know a friend who formed a Golden Core that seemed quite powerful."

"Quite powerful? How powerful?" The True Monarch was getting annoyed with the Rogue Immortal Venerable, "What kind of Golden Core did your friend form?"

The Rogue Immortal Venerable raised his head, looking through the crystal roof, and pointed at the sun, "Like this."

"What?" The True Monarch was baffled.

"He formed a Sun Grade Golden Core."

"I think you've stared at the sun too much, and it's fried your brain!" The True Monarch said irritably, "Don't look at that new sun foolishly anymore!"

The Rogue Immortal Venerable was left speechless.

In the past, if someone had told him they formed a Sun Grade Golden Core, he would have said the same about their brain.

"Master, I really want to refine and form an infant again. I don't just want to form a Sun Grade Golden Core; I want to form a whole ocean if I can." The Rogue Immortal Venerable couldn't get the idea out of his head.

His Golden Core was too weak, too small.

Recently, he had even sought advice from Origin Heavenly Venerable in the group chat.

Origin Heavenly Venerable said that bigger and stronger were better.

"Stop daydreaming. Can you even fit an entire ocean into your Dantian?"

"Then... how can someone fit the sun inside?" the Rogue Immortal Venerable asked weakly.

The True Monarch was so angry his eyebrows were about to fall off. He could only speak with a heavy heart, "There are differences between people. Don't aim too high. Your Golden Core may not compare to the sun, but it's a meticulously refined Six-Flavor Sky-Yellow Pill, small yet with infinite potential."

The Rogue Immortal Venerable fell silent.

Indeed, how could he compare to the Origin Heavenly Venerable? Not to mention the other two emperors in the group chat; who could he match up to?

But the thought of being able to rely on someone powerful made him feel much better.

"In three days, when this batch of pills is ready, you'll personally deliver it to the Great Power Ye Chen.

Oh, and chat more with the Great Power Ye Chen's granddaughter; build a connection," the True Monarch said.

He was trying to match the Rogue Immortal Venerable with the Great Power Ye Chen's granddaughter.

If this succeeded, his disciple's future would be worry-free; all he'd need to do was eat soft rice.

Upon hearing this, the Rogue Immortal Venerable immediately became anxious, "Master, in three days, a friend of mine is coming nearby to kill someone. I have to go and see."

The True Monarch's eyebrows furrowed, "You're telling me about killing, and your friend is quite something. Can he be trusted?"

"He's trustworthy!" The Rogue Immortal Venerable nodded vigorously.

"Go and take a look, and then deliver the pills afterward," the True Monarch naturally felt that his disciple's friend was too strong, and he needed someone to back him up, so he turned to his own disciple.

He couldn't stop this from happening.

...

Three days later.

The Rogue Immortal Venerable sat in an inn, his storage bag containing the pills his master had just refined.

He was waiting for the Origin Heavenly Venerable to arrive, and to be honest, he felt a bit anxious.

Or perhaps, he hadn't figured out how to face the Origin Heavenly Venerable yet.

"Xiao Yu, I asked you to deliver medicine to my grandfather, but you've come here to watch the excitement!"

At that moment, a youthful-looking girl entered, her eyes wide as she looked at the Rogue Immortal Venerable.

"Ye Chan, cough, I have a friend coming over. After I meet him, I'll deliver the medicine," the Rogue Immortal Venerable said to the girl before him, feeling a bit intimidated.

At this moment, the tall woman beside the girl frowned, "You dare delay delivering the medicine for the Great Power Ye Chen? You're quite bold, young man."

Hearing this, Ye Chan quickly replied, "A little delay won't matter. My grandfather isn't in a rush to use it either."

The tall woman's eyes flashed with a complex expression, "Xiao Chan, Feng Tian, the grandson of the Wind Sovereign, is waiting for us upstairs. Let's go and see him."

Hesitation flashed in Ye Chan's eyes.

Just then, a clear voice rang out, "Rogue Immortal Venerable, long time no see. This is the city you're in, and it's much better than my remote and desolate hometown."

The Rogue Immortal Venerable looked over and saw Qi Yuan in a blood-red robe, holding the hand of a cute and petite girl who looked about seven or eight years old.

"This is my daughter, Qi Jianjun.

Jianjun, this is the Rogue Immortal Venerable. Call him Uncle Rogue."

"Qi Jianjun's eyes sparkled like stars as she looked at Rogue Immortal Venerable, addressing him without a hint of arrogance, 'Hello, Uncle.'"

Hearing this, Rogue Immortal Venerable was pleasantly surprised, but he replied, "No need to call me Uncle; I'm still young, just call me by my name."

He had heard that Origin Heavenly Venerable's daughter was a Dark Deity.

A Dark Deity calling him uncle... He dared not think about it.

"Gao Xiaoyu, what are you acting so young for?" Ye Chan couldn't help but speak up, turning to Qi Jianjun, "Such a cute kid."

She glanced at the tall woman beside her, "Flower Sister, I won't be going up."

Then, she looked at Rogue Immortal Venerable, "Xiao Yu, do you mind if I sit here?"

Rogue Immortal Venerable turned to look at Qi Yuan.

In truth, when he heard Ye Chan calling Qi Jianjun a kid, he genuinely feared that the Dark Deity would beat Ye Chan to death.

"Haha, Rogue Immortal Venerable, I know your name now. It's like using your real name online from now on," Qi Yuan never expected that Rogue Immortal Venerable's name would be so fitting, calling Gao Xiaoyu, which sounded somewhat feminine.

Rogue Immortal Venerable smiled awkwardly, but inside, he was extremely nervous.

Facing Origin Heavenly Venerable, he felt a manageable amount of pressure, but when facing Qi Jianjun, he was genuinely anxious.

"Is this your Dao Companion? She's quite a beauty." Qi Yuan glanced at Ye Chan and offered a polite compliment.

Ye Chan's face reddened, "Don't talk nonsense."

Qi Yuan showed an understanding expression, patting Rogue Immortal Venerable's shoulder, "Buck up, and you'll be a father soon."

"Buck up and become a father soon."

Rogue Immortal Venerable was speechless.

Ye Chan, on the other hand, looked at Qi Jianjun, her face slightly flushed, and waved her hand, "Come here, cute little girl. Sister has a gift for you."

As she spoke, she extended a porcelain white bottle, "Inside are candies with a delightful taste. If you feel like snacking, have one, it won't upset your stomach."

Rogue Immortal Venerable watched this, constantly signaling Ye Chan with his eyes.

Are you giving snacks to a Dark Deity?

Qi Jianjun reached out to take the porcelain bottle.

At that moment, a hurried voice interrupted, "Xiao Chan, this is the Triple Yang Essence Spirit Pill that your grandfather gave you. How can you just give it to a random child!"

Flower Sister, who had gone upstairs earlier, rushed down, accompanied by the young and handsome Feng Tian.

"My things, I'll give them to whoever I want." Ye Chan was slightly annoyed with Flower Sister.

Flower Sister couldn't respond.

At this moment, Feng Tian turned to Qi Yuan, "The child doesn't understand, but do you, an adult?

The Triple Yang Essence Spirit Pill is a valuable item for Divine Infant cultivators.

Do you think you can take it with peace of mind?"

Qi Yuan smiled, "I'm naturally clueless."

As he spoke, he took the porcelain bottle directly from Ye Chan's hand.

He opened the bottle, and a pleasant fragrance wafted out.

"Here, Jianjun, have some candy."

Qi Jianjun's small hand grabbed a handful of pills and popped them into her mouth, "Tastes good."

Flower Sister and Feng Tian were completely stunned by this scene.

Especially Flower Sister, who kept shaking her head, "Such a waste, such a waste."

Such precious pills given to a child.

Feng Tian glanced at Qi Yuan, "I'll report this matter to Ye Chen Great Power."

As he spoke, he glared at Rogue Immortal Venerable, "Collaborating with outsiders to deceive..."

"Enough!" Ye Chan glared coldly at Feng Tian and Flower Sister, "I'll do as I please. Are you my son, showing such concern?"

Feng Tian was speechless for a moment.

Flower Sister's face turned pale, then flushed, and her tone softened, "Xiao Chan, we're just worried you'll be deceived."

The atmosphere on the field became somewhat serious.

Qi Yuan spoke up, "Rogue Immortal Venerable, I'll chat with you later. I need to go kill someone."

Qi Jianjun held Qi Yuan's hand, like a little assistant, "Uncle, Sister, I'll be late."

His Concert Ensemble was late, and he had to go kill someone.

Ye Chan was a bit dazed by this sudden talk of killing.

How did the conversation turn to murder so abruptly?

Feng Tian and Flower Sister were also surprised.

Just then, a familiar sound suddenly echoed in the sky.

The mournful trumpet's melody was like a deity's sigh, reverberating throughout the entire city.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Blood Cloak Sword God is here to kill!"

This morning, they had received news that Blood Cloak Sword God was coming to kill someone here.

For such a major event, they had undoubtedly arrived early to spectate.

At this moment, countless powerhouses were secretly hiding within the city.

even the elusive Purple Mansion cultivators might have appeared, just to witness the legendary Dark Deity!

After all, this was the Dark Deity who had destroyed Bright Palace and killed Demon Sprout Venerable and Affectionate Venerable!

At the very least, he was at the Skystriding Second Step.

"Let's go upstairs to watch!" At this point, Ye Chan didn't bother with formalities and prepared to take Rogue Immortal Venerable and Qi Yuan to spectate.

"I need to go kill someone." Qi Yuan held Qi Jianjun's hand, and his figure disappeared.

Ye Chan was stunned for a moment but eventually went to spectate with Rogue Immortal Venerable.

Currently, almost all the cultivators in this grand city had gathered.

They looked up at the over ten Purple Mansion cultivators in the sky, their faces filled with awe.

"Using the Purple Mansion as an ensemble, Blood Cloak Sword God sure knows how to make an entrance!"

"Shh, don't speak ill of the Venerable, or else..."

"I'm not speaking ill, I'm praising, praising!"

"I never imagined that in my lifetime, I'd get to hear the Purple Mansion's music and witness the legendary Dark Deity!"

Ye Chan stood on the rooftop, her eyes sparkling, "Gao Xiaoyu, what does Blood Cloak Sword God look like? Is he the cold, distant type who keeps people a thousand miles away?

I heard he also has a Dark Deity daughter, so scary."

Rogue Immortal Venerable remained silent, thinking, 'You just met Blood Cloak Sword God, and now you're giving his Dark Deity daughter candy.'

But then he thought, 'Why bother explaining? I'll see for myself soon anyway.'
