Chapter 266: The Upper Realm Visitor
Chapter 266: The Upper Realm Visitor
Jasmine Grand Lord's eyes glowed with intensity, her lashes fluttering as she gazed at Qi Yuan, a hint of rosy blush appearing at the corners of her eyes.
"If you desire it, why not take the Mythic Treasure for yourself, fellow cultivator?" she suggested.
After all, if her master were to possess the Bloodrobe Sword God's body...
The Mythic Treasure would be given to the Bloodrobe Sword God, wouldn't it?
"See, I told you Jasmine Grand Lord wants to give me the Mythic Treasure!" Qi Yuan boasted, glancing at Elder Seven Wounds, "You just don't understand how the life of a handsome man can be."
Elder Seven Wounds' face reddened slightly, and he remained silent.
Qi Yuan was well aware that when men become flirtatious, women have no power over them, but when women take the initiative, men become helpless.
"So..." Qi Yuan's thoughts took a turn, "Why don't I skip going to the Phoenix Palace and have you confess your feelings here, giving me the Mythic Treasure directly?"
Qi Yuan's idea was straightforward.
Since the outcome would be the same, he might as well skip the process and have Jasmine Grand Lord hand over the Mythic Treasure directly.
Moreover, Qi Yuan believed this demonstrated his high emotional intelligence.
Jasmine Grand Lord had invited numerous Dark Deities, preparing to confess to him.
He was certain he would have to reject her.
With so many people, it would be embarrassing for Jasmine Grand Lord.
Therefore, by taking the Mythic Treasure directly, Qi Yuan was also saving Jasmine Grand Lord from embarrassment.
This was a win-win situation.
Jasmine Grand Lord's smile froze slightly, as she naturally had no idea about Qi Yuan's thoughts. She coquettishly said, "My lady has prepared a grand surprise. If you don't go, my lady's efforts will be in vain."
As she spoke, her delicate body leaned towards Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan quickly sidestepped, not wanting to be touched by Jasmine Grand Lord.
What if he caught a disease? That wouldn't be good.
"I can't refuse such a kind invitation, so I'll take a look at the Phoenix Palace," Qi Yuan finally agreed.
A hint of regret flashed in Jasmine Grand Lord's eyes.
Unfortunately, after today, she could only obtain the Bloodrobe Sword God's body, but not his heart, which left her feeling rather disappointed.
The two transformed into a stream of light and headed towards the Phoenix Palace.
The Phoenix Palace was also located in Light Crane City, not far from the Pathfinding Palace.
Soon, they arrived at the Phoenix Palace.
At this moment, the Phoenix Palace was as bright as day but unusually quiet, with an eerie atmosphere.
This was different from what Qi Yuan had imagined.
"Is it possible that as soon as I enter, a crowd will rush forward and shout 'Kiss her'?" Qi Yuan asked in surprise.
If that were the case, it would be quite awkward.
Jasmine Grand Lord was momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend Qi Yuan's train of thought.
She smiled lightly, her smile filled with hidden meaning, "You'll understand everything once you go inside."
"I hope it's not too surprising."
Following Jasmine Grand Lord, the two landed outside a palace.
At this moment, the palace doors opened with a loud clang.
The light from the palace illuminated Qi Yuan, casting a long shadow behind him.
Qi Yuan's eyes were filled with anticipation, but his pupils narrowed at this moment.
Inside the vast palace, a bloody smell permeated the air, and over twenty Dark Deities' bodies were scattered about, lying in various positions.
Qi Yuan recognized these Dark Deities from the Origin Spirit Sharing Society's celebration.
Yet now, these twenty-plus Dark Deities had silently died within the Phoenix Palace, their appearances pitiful.
Among them, on a tree just ten meters away from Qi Yuan, hung a corpse.
The corpse's eyes were wide open, as if witnessing something terrifying.
Such an expression was rarely seen among Dark Deity-level cultivators.
Moreover, this scene was extremely bizarre.
When Dark Deities fought, they would be dragged into the Void Realm.
But these Dark Deities had died within the palace, their deaths mysterious.
At this moment, a charming voice sounded in Qi Yuan's ear, "Cultivator, do you like this surprise?"
Only then did Qi Yuan turn to look at Jasmine Grand Lord, his eyes seemed to carry a look of heartache and disappointment, "I never thought you would be this kind of person!"
Qi Yuan was furious, feeling that he had overlooked the evil nature of human hearts.
The evil of human hearts had reached its peak! The cultivation world's atmosphere needed purification!
Jasmine Grand Lord was taken aback by the Bloodrobe Sword God's reaction.
She loved seeing such powerful individuals, her eyes revealing disbelief, anger, and shock.
"Just because you're afraid of confessing and being seen by these people, you killed them out of embarrassment?
You don't deserve to like me!
I reject your confession!" Qi Yuan was filled with anger, feeling that Jasmine Grand Lord knew her confession would fail, so she eliminated the witnesses beforehand.
"What? I don't understand your anger," Jasmine Grand Lord was confused.
"Being liked by someone as petty as you makes me feel sick!" Qi Yuan exclaimed in anger.
Jasmine Grand Lord was completely lost.
At this moment, a male voice sounded from behind Qi Yuan.
"Your actions are quite intriguing, cultivator."
Qi Yuan's left eye twitched again, and he turned to face the speaker.
In the mirror's reflection, fresh blood stained its surface. The bronze frame was adorned with intricate patterns, each more peculiar than the last.
【The Ancient Kun Mirror, a treasure from the Nine Heavens, bears the ominous blood of ill fortune.】
Within the mirror, a figure stood with their back turned to him.
Qi Yuan was momentarily stunned, "Why are you turning your back to me? Are you going to turn your back on the world and make decisions for eternity?"
The figure in the mirror hesitated for a moment, then spoke with confidence.
"I wish to bestow upon you an incredible opportunity, but I'm not sure if you'll accept it."
"What opportunity?" Qi Yuan asked, showing no urgency.
"You were born in the Canglan Realm, yet you cultivate a non-toxic technique. You should also be aware of some news from the Nine Heavens."
"The opportunity I offer you is... to take your physical body to the Nine Heavens, and experience its grandeur!"
The figure's voice was filled with confidence and a yearning for the Nine Heavens.
"Speak in a way I can understand!" Qi Yuan frowned, "Those with low EQ should remain silent, as their words are incomprehensible."
At this moment, Jasmine Great Venerable looked at Bloodrobe Sword God, her eyes filled with emotion, "My master means to borrow your physical body, to take your flesh to the Nine Heavens, and thoroughly enjoy my body."
"This is your greatest opportunity in life, to escape this cage and experience the sights of the Nine Heavens..."
"Don't be so indecent, I'm already feeling nauseous." Qi Yuan quickly responded.
He understood that he was being harassed by a woman behind the scenes.
In front of him, they openly harassed a pure-hearted man, and he felt anger.
Is there no law and order left!
"Your physique is very average. If you weren't born in the Canglan Realm, I wouldn't even give you a second glance."
"Being noticed by me is your honor."
The figure spoke with confidence.
At this moment, Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes, as he realized his surroundings seemed to be changing.
"Am I... entering the mirror?"
This was an abandoned palace, with ruins and broken pillars everywhere, along with fragments of bronze artifacts on the ground.
In a corner, the black bloodstains seemed to have endured the baptism of countless ages.
Ahead, the man stood with his back turned, like a ghost in the night.
Jasmine Great Venerable squinted, her eyes filled with reverence as she knelt on the ground like a devoted dog.
Qi Yuan scanned the surroundings, "This treasure is quite impressive."
"You have an eye for quality. This is a treasure bestowed upon me by my father."
"Do you often hold parties here?" Qi Yuan sniffed, furrowing his brows, "You've defiled this treasure. The space here is so vast, if you emptied a supermarket and stockpiled supplies, even if the apocalypse came, you wouldn't need to worry."
"The way you use this place, your vision is truly shortsighted." Qi Yuan remained calm.
The figure paused for a moment, his voice as lofty as ever, "Bloodrobe Sword God, having entered the Ancient Kun Mirror, there's no need to act crazy and foolish. This won't change your fate."
"You're the one acting crazy and foolish!" Qi Yuan retorted, "Your entire family has mental issues, I'm perfectly normal, and even without a diagnosis, I won't act crazy!"
"Haha, after slaying the Lei Family Four Generals, you think you're the number one person in the Canglan Realm, acting without any reservations?
Unfortunately, your limited understanding is holding you back.
Your current confidence, in my eyes, is laughable.
You don't realize the kind of existence you're facing!" The figure spoke, his voice resonating with power.
Qi Yuan had seen many people like Bloodrobe Sword God.
Having been arrogant in one world, they lacked reverence and humility, thinking themselves the strongest, and acted without fear or respect.
But they were unaware that there were greater powers beyond their own.
In the 1619 edition of the book, there's not a single mistake!
"Are you also from the Upper Realm?" Qi Yuan couldn't help but ask, his tone filled with disdain.
This person and Li Yixi, they're so pushy, aren't they?
"You have some insight. My master is from the Upper Realm and is a descendant of a Yang Deity!" Jasmine Great Venerable spoke, her eyes filled with adoration.
That's a descendant of a Yang Deity!
In the Upper Realm, to establish a Holy Land, one must have a Yang Deity presiding over it.
"Since you know my master's identity, kneel down immediately!" Jasmine Great Venerable commanded.
"Three days ago, I just killed an arrogant person from the Upper Realm. It seems today I'll have to kill another."
"Oh, has the atmosphere in the Upper Realm deteriorated to this extent?" Qi Yuan sighed, "It seems I need to hurry to the Upper Realm, its atmosphere needs the purification of Origin Great Venerable!"
At this moment, the figure in the mirror let out a loud shout.
This voice carried a soul attack, powerful enough to shake the heavens.
With his shout, the figure in the mirror swiftly turned around, revealing a stunningly handsome face to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan was outraged, "You! You're using my face!"
He was furious.
The man's face, which was visible from behind, was shockingly his own.
"You've fallen for my master's soul-stealing technique and still dare to struggle?" Jasmine Great Venerable narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with awe for the man, "My master will enter your Dantian, devour your divine soul, occupy your Sea of Consciousness, and take everything from you!"
"And who does he think he is?" Qi Yuan scoffed.
"My father once personally intervened, altering my spiritual body.
Even if it's a reflection of the heavens, I can effortlessly possess it!"
The man behind Qi Yuan exuded confidence.
In the Upper Realm, he had once inadvertently flirted with the Moon Deity Supreme Lord.
The Moon Deity Supreme Lord, from across two heavens away, struck him down with a single palm strike.
His father, a powerful Yang Deity, had to pay a hefty price to repair his soul, which was then specially modified and placed within the Heaven Earth Ancient Mirror.
Offending the Moon Deity Supreme Lord meant he could no longer stay in the Ninefold Heavens.
So, he descended to the Lower Realm, embarking on a journey there.
Little did he know that the Heaven Earth Ancient Mirror would transmit him to the legendary Canglan Realm.
Now, with the Moon Deity Palace and the Divine Radiance Palace at war, and the Moon Deity Palace at a disadvantage, he was thinking of returning to the Upper Realm.
Unfortunately, even with his father's intervention, it was impossible to be summoned back while in the Canglan Realm.
Thus, he planned to seize the body of the Blood Robe Sword God, and then return to the Upper Realm.
"You insignificant Sky Striding Six Steps, how dare you resist!"
The man behind Qi Yuan shouted, and his spiritual body forcefully rushed into Qi Yuan's Dantian.
"Then I won't resist." Qi Yuan thought for a moment and decided not to fight back.
Jasmine Great Venerable's eyes curved into a smile, "He who understands the times is a hero. Having your body serve the master is your greatest honor in this life."
But in the next breath, a sudden, anguished scream echoed from within the ancient mirror.
"Ah... What is this... No... Devil!"
The consciousness that had just rushed into Qi Yuan's Dantian now scrambled out like a rabbit.
This spiritual body, after less than a breath, was in tatters, riddled with holes, and his eyes revealed a terrified expression.
The man behind Qi Yuan was terrified.
He couldn't comprehend the scene he had just witnessed.
Packed tightly, five thousand Divine Infants! Inside the Blood Robe Sword God's body, there were actually five thousand Divine Infants!
And the most terrifying part was that each of these five thousand Divine Infants emanated a power ten, a hundred times stronger than his own.
He felt that what he faced were not Divine Infants but five thousand soon-to-be Yang Deity Mythics! No wonder he was so terrified.
"Don't run!"
"I'm also quite interested in your memories."
"I want to see if the Upper Realm's morals are truly so corrupt!"
Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes.
His Dantian trembled.
The fleeing spiritual body of the man behind Qi Yuan stiffened, as if a powerful suction force was pulling him back.
At this moment, his spiritual body re-entered Qi Yuan's Dantian.
"No..."
A pitiful scream echoed.
The man behind Qi Yuan was terrified.
"What kind of monster are you!"
He couldn't possibly understand the scene he had just witnessed.
Even if his father were here, he wouldn't be able to comprehend what was happening.
"I'm not a monster; I'm a civilized little pioneer!" Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes.
"For the sake of purifying the Upper Realm's morals, please die!"
As the five thousand Divine Infants shook, all the man behind Qi Yuan's pride and arrogance vanished in an instant.
An overwhelming pressure surged, and he couldn't resist.
The Yang Deity-modified spiritual body shattered at this moment.
Countless memories also flooded into Qi Yuan's mind.
He glanced at Jasmine Great Venerable, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "So, it was you who killed in front of me last time? You shameless man and woman!"
Jasmine Great Venerable looked at Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with pain and anger, "You... What have you done to the master? Let him go!"
The anger quickly faded, transforming into a plea, her voice trembling with emotion, "Let him go, I'll do anything you want, I beg you!"
In her heart, the man behind Qi Yuan held an extremely important place.
"Die." Qi Yuan didn't hesitate. At this moment, Jasmine Great Venerable's divine soul was stripped away, and the man behind Qi Yuan died with her.
Qi Yuan's gaze deepened.
"He truly is from the Upper Realm... He offended the Moon Deity Supreme Lord..."
...
In an unknown land, Qi Yuan's innate seed had sprouted.
A woman in a white robe gently spoke while supporting herself, "Severe delusions... Severe... Keep this certificate, and he can receive welfare benefits."
The woman placed the certificate, engraved with "Severe Mental Illness," on the table.
Her eyes revealed a hint of regret.
Having lost his parents in battle and raised by a robotic society from a young age, this boy named Qi Yuan had a rather pitiful life.
I recommend a book by a renowned author, linked below: "Unwilling to Ascend, I'm Invited by an Immortal."
