Chapter 247: Keeping One's Word
Chapter 247: Keeping One's Word
Qi Yuan's words reverberated through the ears of everyone present, causing all the Divine Infant Cultivators to freeze in surprise.
The disciples and elders of the Divine Radiance Sect exchanged puzzled glances.
Not far away, Jiang Ling Su fanned her face with her sleeve, furrowing her brows as she whispered to Jiang Ran, "Eldest Senior Brother is acting crazy again!"
Eldest Senior Brother was great in many ways, but he had a tendency to act erratically.
What did he mean by not having enough Divine Infants?
Fierce Sword True Monarch stroked his beard, "True Monarch, your words are quite shocking and unconventional, aren't they?"
"As cultivators, we shatter our Golden Cores to form a Divine Infant. How can one possibly form two Divine Infants?" Tea Speech True Monarch also expressed his confusion.
Shen Zhifeng's face turned sour, but she couldn't find the words to respond.
Most of the Divine Infants present questioned Qi Yuan's statement.
After all, forming a single Divine Infant was generally accepted.
It was as simple as one plus one equals two.
Was there anyone capable of forming two Divine Infants?
Only Shen Wushen, upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, furrowed his brows in deep thought, murmuring, "Too few Divine Infants?"
In his understanding, it was naturally only possible to form a single Divine Infant.
Divine Infants were formed from the shattering of Golden Cores.
A single Golden Core could naturally only form one Divine Infant.
Even if one were to forcefully form two, wouldn't it still be the quantity of a single Golden Core?
Splitting it would only weaken it, wouldn't it?
Shen Wushen looked at Qi Yuan with a perplexed expression, "Divine Infants originate from Golden Cores. Even with the ability to form two, there's essentially no difference."
Shen Wushen sincerely sought clarification from Qi Yuan.
This made the other Divine Infant Cultivators feel peculiar.
Was there a need to discuss such a matter?
Shen Zhifeng's face paled, and she wanted to remind Shen Wushen.
But after some thought, she suppressed the idea in her heart.
"What you say is what ordinary people would think. Only a true genius would dare to tread a different path. Solving this problem is simple—don't shatter your Golden Core to form a Divine Infant! Let the Golden Core follow its path, and the Divine Infant follow its own."
Qi Yuan's words were shocking and unconventional, and the mention of 'Rome' made it sound even more profound, leaving others feeling like they couldn't grasp the depth of his words.
The other Divine Infants frowned, pondering the meaning behind Qi Yuan's words.
Could a Golden Core truly follow its own path?
Could a Divine Infant walk its own road?
Shen Wushen furrowed his brows, deep in thought.
Just then, Shen Zhifeng spoke up, "Nonsense! How can there be such a path in this world? Young Master, don't be fooled by him!"
She naturally thought Qi Yuan was talking nonsense, intentionally teasing these cultivators.
Many of the Divine Infants shared this sentiment.
Qi Yuan's words were too far-fetched, or perhaps incomprehensible.
After all, it's difficult to change one's understanding.
It's like telling someone on Bluestar that the world is flat; they wouldn't believe it.
"Unless you can show us two Divine Infants," Shen Zhifeng challenged.
Qi Yuan shrugged, "Why should I show you my Divine Infants?"
Although he organized the Divine Infant Festival to show off, there was a difference between actively showing off and being forced to do so.
Shen Zhifeng paused, then said, "Ten Jade Level Art Decrees!"
Qi Yuan's heart remained unmoved by her words.
This was the right reaction.
However, remembering his bet with Shen Wushen, he added, "What if I do have two Divine Infants?"
He wanted to raise the stakes.
"If you do, I'll give you ten thousand Spirit Stones!" Shen Zhifeng offered, "But if you don't, you'll be Young Master Shen's sparring partner for ten years."
Die-hard fans were die-hard fans, and she was still thinking of Shen Wushen's interests.
"No, I'm not interested in Spirit Stones," Qi Yuan replied, now genuinely disinterested in Spirit Stones.
His realm had reached a level where he could declare his disinterest in money, just like Jack Ma.
Only cultivation techniques could pique his interest.
Shen Zhifeng gritted her teeth. As the leader of a sect, she could offer more.
But she couldn't gamble with the sect's possessions.
After some thought, she proposed, "If you have two Divine Infants, I'll eat No Madness Monk's shoes. How's that?"
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up at her suggestion.
Could this be fun?
Usually, Qi Yuan's interactions with White Moonlight involved harming others to benefit himself.
If Shen Zhifeng ate No Madness Monk's shoes, it would be harming herself without benefiting him.
Qi Yuan quite liked this idea.
"Deal!"
Qi Yuan readily agreed.
The Divine Infants on the field exchanged glances, some suppressing their laughter.
No Madness Monk never expected the matter to involve him. He blinked, looking at Qi Yuan, "True Monarch, show us your two Divine Infants!"
He sincerely hoped Qi Yuan truly had two Divine Infants.
That way, his shoes would find a new home.
The Monk of No Madness, true to his name, had a peculiar habit of going barefoot, and there was a reason for this eccentricity.
He possessed a pair of magical boots, an invaluable treasure that significantly enhanced his flying speed.
These boots were among his most cherished possessions.
He had once practiced a footwork technique, a powerful divine art related to footwork, but an unexpected twist occurred during his cultivation, leading him astray.
As a result, he developed a foul-smelling feet, a stench that was not of the mortal realm but of the cultivation world.
His precious boots became contaminated by this odor, emitting a nauseating stench akin to a dead rat in a drain or a rotting snake on the roadside.
It was this footwork technique that prevented the Monk of No Madness from wearing shoes, and only then did the foul odor dissipate.
However, he still kept the magical boots, hoping to sell them someday.
Unfortunately, even at a price of 20,000 spirit stones, no Divine Infant Cultivator was willing to buy them.
After all, the boots still carried the lingering stench.
"Divine Master, if you want to eat my boots, you'll have to pay me 20,000 spirit stones!" the Monk of No Madness exclaimed passionately.
This was why he wanted Qi Yuan to win.
Only then could he find a suitable buyer for his boots.
As he spoke, he took out two boots from his storage bag.
Instantly, a wave of putrid odor engulfed the area.
"Monk of No Madness, put those away quickly!"
"Ugh..."
Even the Divine Infant Cultivators couldn't bear the stench.
Qi Yuan, standing not far away, broke into a smile, "The cultivation world is indeed amazing. Betting on eating boots is no joke; it's the real deal."
After all, on Bluestar, there were countless instances of deceit and fraud.
If Qi Yuan encountered them, he would ensure they became honest and trustworthy.
"Look closely at my two Divine Infants."
Qi Yuan had numerous Divine Infants, and producing two was effortless.
Moreover, this wasn't like when he needed to activate a Divine Infant to heal his junior sister, Jiang Ling Su, requiring it to be in a semi-awakened state.
Instantly, two streaks of light flashed by.
Around Qi Yuan, two crystalline and translucent Divine Infants, resembling infants, hovered.
Each Divine Infant emanated an ancient and restrained aura, as if concealing immense power.
Every Divine Infant Cultivator present sensed an incredibly formidable aura.
Their bodies trembled slightly.
Yet, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Divine Infants... two of them!"
"Indeed, two of them!"
"Haha, my boots can finally be sold!"
The Sage of the Withered Tree also widened his eyes, never expecting there to be two Divine Infants.
How could anyone in this world possess two Divine Infants? It was even more unbelievable than reaching the Divine Infant stage at the age of twenty.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Shen Zhifeng's pupils constricted, and a terrifying golden light emanated from her eyes as she attempted to see through Qi Yuan's disguise using her eye technique.
But even with her eye technique, there were still two Divine Infants.
Shen Wushen gazed at the Divine Infants, and countless streaks of light flashed in his eyes.
What he saw far surpassed the Divine Infants before him.
"These are Divine Infants..."
"No, how can there be such terrifying Divine Infants?"
He couldn't comprehend.
Facing these Divine Infants, he felt as if he were confronting not Divine Infants but a terrifying Dark Deity.
His master was a Dark Deity who had mastered the Seven Steps to Heaven, revered as a myth.
Yet, even his master's presence couldn't compare to the sensation Qi Yuan's Divine Infant gave him.
This was truly inconceivable.
"Alright, I've shown you my two Divine Infants. Now, about the Monk of No Madness's boots..."
Qi Yuan's eyes gleamed with amusement.
He relished the opportunity to cause mischief without harming himself.
Shen Zhifeng's expression shifted repeatedly.
At that moment, Shen Wushen spoke up, "A promise made is a promise kept. If you don't intend to fulfill your commitment, then don't make promises in this lifetime."
Seeing this, Shen Zhifeng lowered her head, "Master, I'll buy your boots for 20,000 spirit stones."
After saying this, she turned to the Monk of No Madness.
"I'll pay 20,000 spirit stones to use your boots!"
The Monk of No Madness beamed with joy and handed over the two stinky boots to Shen Zhifeng.
"Divine Master, my boots may have a strong odor, but they have a unique flavor, a blend of golden water, rare wood, and silk threads, resulting in a sweet and spicy taste."
Shen Zhifeng took the boots and immediately recoiled upon smelling the stench, feeling a wave of nausea.
However, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to swallow the boots.
The Divine Infant Cultivators present watched like spectators but didn't dare mock her.
After all, Shen Zhifeng was the leader of the Demon Desire Sect.
Qi Yuan clapped his hands, "Well done! A promise made is a promise kept. You're far more decisive than those on Bluestar."
Qi Yuan had already decided that if he got the chance to return to Bluestar, he would rectify its atmosphere, ensuring that those who deceived others would become as honest and trustworthy as Shen Zhifeng, keeping their word.
Shen Zhifeng furrowed her brows, turning away, unwilling to look at Qi Yuan.
At this moment, her expression was captivating as she held her breath.
If it weren't for Shen Wushen still being present, she would have certainly run back, slit open her stomach, and discarded the remnants of the boot.
Currently, every breath she took was foul, and she didn't dare speak.
"Shen Wushen, where's your cultivation technique?" Qi Yuan turned to Shen Wushen.
Having defeated Shen Wushen, he was entitled to all the cultivation techniques Shen Wushen possessed.
Shen Wushen, upon seeing this, was very generous and showed no hesitation.
"This is all the cultivation techniques I have."
"Cultivation technique, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he took out a blank jade slip and recorded all the cultivation techniques he had cultivated into it.
"The cultivation technique is called 'Supreme Chaotic Divine Art'. I ask that you keep it confidential."
The storage bag fell into Qi Yuan's hands.
Instantly, Qi Yuan obtained a cultivation technique, fourteen Heaven Grade Art Decrees, and three Mystic Level Art Decrees.
As for Jade Grade Art Decrees, Shen Wushen did not possess any.
Qi Yuan, upon seeing this, was very pleased.
"Rest assured, I won't show these techniques to anyone else."
After all, these techniques would become fertilizer for the 'Qi Yuan Scripture'.
He didn't lack Spirit Stones, but he was in dire need of cultivation techniques.
"Do you lack cultivation techniques?" At this moment, Shen Wushen turned to Qi Yuan and asked.
Regarding Qi Yuan, he naturally held immense admiration in his heart.
Perhaps, even the Holy Son of Buddha Mountain would not be a match for Qi Yuan in a single battle.
It was common knowledge that the Holy Son of Buddha Mountain was personally instructed by the Yang Deity.
However, the result was still inferior to those from the lower realms.
To Qi Yuan, even if placed in the Upper Realm, he would undoubtedly be the most outstanding among the talents.
"I lack them, especially. What's more, do you have a way to obtain new ones?" Qi Yuan turned to Shen Wushen, his face full of anticipation.
"I can... but it's quite troublesome." Shen Wushen replied thoughtfully.
"How about this? If you can obtain a cultivation technique for me, I'll help you improve it once for free, doubling its power at the very least. What do you think?" Qi Yuan quickly responded upon seeing this. "If it's a Heaven Grade technique, bring more, and I can also give you some pointers, allowing you to progress further on your path to the Divine Infant stage."
Of course, my Divine Infant cannot be replicated, but yours... still has so much room for improvement."
The current Qi Yuan, with his increasing strength, was seeing more and more.
When he was in the Mundane Heart World, he had also transformed into a Yang Deity, guiding a Divine Infant was the simplest task.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wushen's gaze fixed on Qi Yuan, eventually saying slowly, "Agreed!"
He chose to trust Qi Yuan.
Because such talents had no need to deceive him.
Regarding the improvement of cultivation techniques, he didn't fully believe it, after all, a Divine Art created by a Yang Deity, how could a Divine Infant modify a Divine Art?
Even if modified, it would likely become worse.
He believed in Qi Yuan's guidance.
"A deal is a deal!" Qi Yuan affirmed from the side.
Just then, a delighted voice echoed.
"Father, you're eating here without calling for Qi Jianjun?"
A girl, around seven or eight years old, suddenly appeared, her eyes filled with bright laughter.
The Divine Infants on the field looked at the girl who appeared out of nowhere, all showing surprise.
Shen Zhifeng widened her eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief.
She knew that this girl was a Yin Soul Venerable!
A Yin Soul Venerable, calling Qi Yuan 'Father'?
What did this mean?
Shen Wushen was also stunned for a moment.
His heart seemed to understand something.
No wonder Qi Yuan was so terrifying.
He was the husband of the Moon Maiden!
The Moon Maiden was one of the heirs to the Moon Goddess Palace.
Her status was even higher than the Holy Son of Buddha Mountain.
Could it be that the Moon Maiden had once come to the Canglan Realm and bore a daughter with Qi Yuan?
Later, the Moon Maiden returned to the Upper Realm.
But Qi Yuan, due to the Canglan Realm, couldn't return to the Upper Realm.
If this was the case, everything could be explained.
After all, only a true talent like Qi Yuan could attract the attention of the Moon Maiden.
Indeed, the Moon Maiden of the Moon Goddess Palace, once chosen, was committed for life...
"This is my daughter, Qi Jianjun." Qi Yuan introduced to the Divine Infants on the field.
The Divine Infants on the field were somewhat surprised.
Wasn't Qi Yuan only twenty years old?
How could he have such an older daughter?
At this moment, Qi Jianjun suddenly transmitted a message to Qi Yuan, her eyes bright with a smile, "Father, this person... is from the Upper Realm!"
