Chapter 382: Returning to Canglan, the First Purple Mansion of Shen Guang Sect

Chapter 382: Returning to Canglan, the First Purple Mansion of Shen Guang Sect

Countless scenes flashed through Qi Yuan's mind.

When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly realized that he was back in Shen Guang Sect, on the Seven-Colored Peak.

"Did I just... finish the game?"

The game ended abruptly.

As the bird flew away, the Sea of Root Demons dissipated, and Qi Yuan didn't have time to meet Jin Li or Ning Tuo, or even return home to discuss some matters with Robot Zero One.

The game ended, and he was back in Canglan.

"Hey, what's going on? Why did you take my Divine Embryo with you when you left?"

Qi Yuan felt like giving that woman a good punch. Although he was at fault for entrusting Wu Shi to her body, he couldn't help but feel wronged.

According to some, wasn't it also wrong for her body to lie there without a single mistake?

However, considering Wu Shi's special circumstances, Qi Yuan decided not to pursue the matter further.

He had nearly four thousand Divine Embryos, and in Archstar and the Origin World, he could find "grandchildren" and "granddaughters" who could be considered his grandparents.

Wu Shi was different.

Only in the ruins, within the body of a powerful being above the Great Ultimate Realm, did she choose to reside and slowly recover.

It could be said that without the body of that powerful being, Wu Shi would have had difficulty waking up, or perhaps... she would have woken up very slowly.

"Sigh, I played a game and got my waist cut off. Where can I go to seek justice?"

Qi Yuan felt helpless.

Strictly speaking, he had lost one of his Divine Embryos.

Although he did have quite a few, the fact that he was missing one was undeniable.

"Now, not only have I been shocked by a mental illness, but I also need a disability certificate. My buffs are already maxed out."

Qi Yuan decided that he would go and get a disability certificate later.

However, he suddenly looked within himself, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Am I... in the Purple Mansion now?"

Qi Yuan had reached the Purple Mansion Realm while he was in the game.

Hmm, the first Purple Mansion cultivator in the history of Shen Guang Sect.

"But... where is my Purple Mansion?"

Qi Yuan was disappointed.

He had reached the Purple Mansion Realm, but he hadn't actually entered it.

The place where the Purple Mansion should be was empty.

"My disability is quite severe!"

This time, after playing the game, he had truly become disabled.

One of his Divine Embryos had been taken away, and his Purple Mansion was empty.

The only thing worth celebrating was that the Primordial Seed was incredibly powerful.

The cultivation he gained in the game was almost entirely retained, and his Ten Thousand Dao Divine Martial Master Realm still existed.

The power of the Yang Immortal remained as well.

It could be said that his improvement was significant, surpassing that of previous occasions.

"Since my Purple Mansion isn't complete, does that mean my superpowers aren't activated?"

Every time Qi Yuan advanced to a new realm, he would gain a new superpower.

For example, eyes that could see hidden information, ears that could hear the thoughts of others, and a nose that could grow and shrink at will.

This time, there were no such changes.

"Hmm... so I just need a Netherworld?"

Qi Yuan pondered.

He had the Purple Qi, but he lacked the Netherworld.

At this moment, Qi Yuan's gaze fell upon the task reward.

It was a straight brush, similar to a calligraphy brush.

The brush was dry and ink-colored, with what seemed to be a mountain river pattern.

"This is a proper brush."

In the Xuan Yuan Restricted Land, Qi Yuan had encountered an improper brush, one shaped like a fox tail, named the Crazy Brush, which was indeed quite improper.

"The Mountain River Imperial Brush... I understand now.

I just need to find an artist to paint my Netherworld.

Then my Purple Mansion... will be complete."

The Mountain River Imperial Brush was a precious treasure.

Lord Dong used this brush to paint the Mountain Sea Scroll, creating countless worlds.

Now, this brush was in Qi Yuan's hands.

"So, the problem is... I need the land, a design, and an artist?"

Qi Yuan contemplated.

With a wave of his hand, seven PowerPoint slides appeared.

These seven slides were the Netherworld design plans given to him by the person in Archstar.

Qi Yuan glanced at them casually: "It's too difficult to cultivate to the Purple Mansion.

Why is it that those people can just enter seclusion, explore a secret realm, gather resources, and with a simple kick, they enter the Purple Mansion.

Why do I have to go through all this trouble, buy the land, find a designer, and then look for an artist?"

Qi Yuan was furious.

This world was so unfair.

"Sigh, the hardships of life are like a flowing river, never to return."

Qi Yuan sighed.

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly interrupted Qi Yuan's high-class cement house.

"Senior Brother, you've exited seclusion?"

The owner of the voice seemed to be lowering their tone, afraid of disturbing the cultivator in seclusion, with a hint of worry in their voice.

Qi Yuan was very familiar with this voice.

A figure in a purple robe strode over, but it seemed a little out of place in his high-class cement house.

"Junior Sister, how did you know that I happened to exit seclusion?

And how did you know that I accidentally broke through to the Purple Mansion?"

"Qi Yuan's faint smile was accompanied by a graceful demeanor, his blood-red robe reminiscent of a Purple Mansion cultivator.

Outside the door, the figure in a purple skirt suddenly flinched, her eyes sparkling like dewdrops on lotus leaves swayed by a gentle breeze.

'Senior Brother, you've finally emerged from seclusion! It's been two and a half years!' Jiang Ling Su's eyes sparkled with joy and excitement.

In her opinion, Senior Brother Qi Yuan often secluded himself, but never for this long.

This time, it had been an unusually extended period.

As his junior sister, it was only natural for her to be concerned and worried about him.

Every day, she would come to Qi Yuan's door, calling out softly to check if he was awake.

Or perhaps, she feared he might have encountered some unforeseen trouble.

Upon seeing Qi Yuan, a smile lit up her face.

'It's been two and a half years, quite a long time, and somewhat inauspicious,' Qi Yuan remarked nonchalantly, his gaze unconsciously falling on Jiang Ling Su.

He was momentarily stunned by her appearance.

Beneath the violet skirt, her fair skin was exposed, with a purple silk ribbon tied into two butterflies, adorning her white, smooth, and radiant shoulders.

Unlike her previous skirt, this one was more revealing, with a backless design partially covered by her long hair, showcasing a slender figure with a visible spine and glowing, porcelain-like skin on either side, free of any excess fat.

At the waist, there were also two cutouts, revealing a slender waist that could be encircled by a hand, with a distinct waistline. Below, one could catch a glimpse of the curves of her thighs and upper body.

Moving upward, her chest was exaggeratedly tall, firm, and rounded, creating a striking contrast with her slender waist, akin to a delicate branch bearing abundant fruit.

Unlike the warm and smooth golden finch, this was on a completely different level.

Most importantly, there were two things she couldn't mention.

As someone had said, purple indeed had a unique charm.

'Indeed, after two and a half years, Junior Sister, your fashion sense has become more liberated.

Note that this liberation doesn't carry a negative connotation,' Qi Yuan said, always considerate and ready to give himself a buff.

Jiang Ling Su's face flushed, and she placed her hands on her waist, 'There's nothing to fear on Seven-Colored Peak, and besides, Senior Brother, you don't know what strange things have happened during your seclusion.

There are now eleven suns in the sky! It's too hot, and I live alone on the peak. The array you set up on the peak prevents anyone from entering without my permission, and I won't be seen. So, what's the harm in dressing a little cooler?

Hmph, you've seen me in cooler outfits before, and now you're acting shy!'

Qi Yuan looked up at the sky, astonished by the eleven suns.

He carefully sensed the temperature and felt it was indeed a bit warm, but not excessively so. The main factor was psychological.

'Looks like we need to find a divine archer to shoot down one of them!' Qi Yuan observed the first sun, deep in thought.

In the world of 1619, a book, a bar, and a look could reveal the truth!

There were too many impolite people in this world.

With so many suns already in the sky, why did they have to crowd over to this side?

The one from the Grand Radiant Palace was truly lacking in manners.

'Senior Brother, according to what you said, the suns in the sky are the reflections of the Yang Gods in the Multiverse.

Where would we find such a divine archer in our Canglan Realm?

Moreover, if we were to shoot them down, we'd have to eliminate the later ones as well!' Jiang Ling Su smiled faintly, her ample chest trembling and captivating.

Qi Yuan swallowed, 'The later suns are good and kind. Don't shoot them; if you must, shoot the first one!'

After all, that was his Golden Core, and he didn't want it to be shot down.

Jiang Ling Su's watery eyes sparkled with laughter. Perhaps it was because she hadn't interacted with her senior brother for a long time, or perhaps distance was the best beauty treatment, but hearing her senior brother's nonsense now made her feel happy.

'Are there bad suns as well?' Jiang Ling Su joined in on the nonsense.

"Well, look at the other ten suns; they're all neatly arranged, unlike that one, which clearly doesn't belong with the others.

Obviously, that sun is a bad sun, which is why it's being ostracized!" Qi Yuan said confidently.

'Senior Brother is right,' Jiang Ling Su agreed, moving closer and casually placing her hand on Qi Yuan's arm. She tugged him, 'Senior Brother, you've been in seclusion for so long; you must be hungry. Luckily, I just made some food, so I'll be kind and let you have a taste!'

However, suddenly, Jiang Ling Su scanned Qi Yuan's blood-red robe, her eyes filled with confusion, 'Senior Brother, I remember you wore a green robe before seclusion. Why did it suddenly turn red, and the style is different from what you wore before?

You didn't wake up from seclusion early and sneak out to fool around, did you?'

She spoke with a hint of anger, her chest rising and falling.

'No, I just changed outfits in the game,' Qi Yuan explained.

Qi Yuan's appearance in the game was his true self, but with some differences.

'Change outfits?' Jiang Ling Su blinked, and upon hearing Qi Yuan's denial, she believed him.

Although Senior Brother was often unreliable, he could be quite dependable at times.

"Sure." Qi Yuan nodded, "Let's go and try your cooking, and I'll also ask you about something."

"What is it?" Jiang Ling Su was intrigued.

This beautiful, wealthy, and kind junior sister was especially enthusiastic and generous towards Qi Yuan.

Not only did she give him gold coins, but she also shared cultivation techniques.

As the saying goes, behind every successful man is a woman who silently supports him.

Behind Qi Yuan, there was his junior sister, providing him with gold coins.

"Let's talk about it while we eat." Qi Yuan lowered his head, and once again, he caught a glimpse of something he shouldn't have. "Junior sister, maybe you should wear something else?"

A blush crept up Jiang Ling Su's ears, hidden beneath her dark hair, and she boldly said, "It's not like you haven't seen it before, what's there to be afraid of?"

Many times, after the first time, there would be a second.

"But..." Qi Yuan whispered something in Jiang Ling Su's ear.

Jiang Ling Su's face instantly turned bright red, and she immediately blocked her front with her arms, her body trembling as she exaggeratedly arched her back.

"You... didn't see anything!"

"No, I forgot." Qi Yuan was very considerate.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling Su clenched her teeth, so angry that she stomped her feet, but she couldn't find a reason to bite Qi Yuan.

She turned around and disappeared in a flash of light.

Qi Yuan watched this scene, and it reminded him of a time when his junior sister had given him a cultivation technique.

He had promised to protect her, but she insisted she didn't need it.

"As expected, my junior sister doesn't need my protection."

The words tumbled out of Qi Yuan's mouth.

...

"A painter?"

Jiang Ling Su sat upright in a bamboo chair, and this time, she was dressed more conservatively, almost too modest. If it weren't for her use of Dao techniques, she would have surely broken out in a sweat.

"Hmm, I need a painter to draw the Netherworld for me." Qi Yuan said casually.

Although Qi Yuan could also paint, his skills were quite ordinary.

For such a task, it was best to find a professional.

After all, others had made his PowerPoint presentations; he couldn't possibly do the painting himself.

He just needed to follow his vision and incorporate others' designs to create the Netherworld.

All he needed was a skilled painter.

This was a minor task.

Qi Yuan didn't want to bother finding a painter, so he left it to his junior sister.

As long as the painting skills were up to par, it would be fine.

Currently, the most important task was the Great Tribulation.

To solve the Great Tribulation, find a painter, draw the Netherworld, and proceed on two fronts.

"If we're talking about a painter, I do know one. She may not be the most famous, but she's definitely the most peculiar.

She lives in the bamboo forest of Helan Continent in the East, where our Jiang Clan also has some business. When I was young, I saw this painter." Jiang Ling Su recalled.

She was thinking about what made this painter so peculiar.

Usually, people would ask where the peculiarity lies.

"Oh, is her painting skill better than mine?"

As Qi Yuan spoke, he immediately drew a picture of a phoenix pecking at rice.

"Look, how does my skill compare to hers?"

Jiang Ling Su couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Senior brother, your little chicken pecking at rice is quite funny."

"You're laughing, but didn't you notice that it's a phoenix, and this phoenix is eating your family's rice!" Qi Yuan pointed at the rice, "Look, it's exactly the same as your rice."

"It doesn't look like it at all!" Jiang Ling Su didn't think the rice resembled her family's Ling Rice.

"It's not similar, it's exactly the same!" As Qi Yuan spoke, a large hen burst out of the painting, flapping its tiny wings and running into Jiang Ling Su's kitchen, where it frantically pecked at her rice.

This hen was somewhat sketchy, and it looked bizarre.

Jiang Ling Su, upon seeing this, widened her eyes, "Senior brother, you're so childish!"

She didn't pay attention to the chicken eating the rice, and she lightly said, "Her painting skills are probably better than yours, and she's very lifelike. There's no problem at all."

The senior brother's skills were not only unrefined, but his abstract painting of a phoenix looked like a chicken...

"Since that's the case, let's visit her sometime.

However, on this journey, I must formulate a detailed, meticulous, and unprecedented grand plan.

If there are any miscellaneous tasks, leave them to you!"

Qi Yuan's gaze was serious, and his eyes carried a heavy expression.

After so many years, he could finally create a perfect plan to deal with the Great Tribulation.

As long as he could defeat the Great Tribulation, the atmosphere in the world would change, and he wouldn't have to live in constant fear, having nightmares every night, afraid of becoming a resource.

Moreover, he could break free from the world's constraints and ascend to the higher realms, meet Jin Li, and find his master!

Such a grand plan must be detailed and flawless.

"What grand plan?" Jiang Ling Su looked at Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with a hint of admiration.

As expected, a serious man was the most attractive.

The senior brother's charm increased even more as he thought.

PS: From now on, I'll post one chapter at 12 am and another at 6 pm, so you don't have to wait at night.

Sorry, to show my apology, I'll give out some monthly ticket red envelopes later! (Don't spread it around)
