Chapter 408: Qi Yuan Repays Kindness with Kindness
"So sleepy." Qi Yuan yawned as he teleported from one end of the universe to the top of a pavilion. Perhaps it was because he had devoured the Three Thousand Worlds; he had consumed so much that it was only natural to feel drowsy after such a feast.
Not far away, Jiang Ling Su's cheeks flushed, and her ample bosom trembled, captivating Qi Yuan's attention. She seemed to be hinting at something, "Eldest Senior Brother, if you're tired, come...sleep for a while."
Qi Yuan glanced at her, remembering the soft jade and the sweet fragrance from their previous encounter.
This was a real breast pillow! Was this how a Purple Mansion Great Cultivator was tested?
"I can't fall asleep in this gentle embrace. I need to go to the Upper Realm," Qi Yuan whispered.
This time, he had come to inform his little apprentice sister of this matter.
In the Divine Light Sect, on Seven-Color Peak, only the two of them remained. If he left without notifying her, she would worry, and that wouldn't be right.
As for the Primordial Deity Sharing Assembly and the Four Divine Flowers, he informed them through Jade Slips.
Qi Yuan still knew how to differentiate between close and distant relationships, and he had a slight preference for beauty over friendship.
Jiang Ling Su's eyes sparkled with joy, but it quickly faded as she looked up at Qi Yuan with anticipation, "Eldest Senior Brother, is Master in the Upper Realm? Can I go with you to find Master?"
Qi Yuan pondered. He had previously told Jiang Ling Su about his speculation regarding the master's whereabouts in the Upper Realm, so it wasn't a surprise to her.
Seeing that Qi Yuan didn't respond, Jiang Ling Su hugged his arm and pleaded, "Eldest Senior Brother, I won't cause trouble. If I do, just send me back to your Purple Mansion!"
"Don't...pretend!" Qi Yuan couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
This little apprentice sister was such a good actress!
"Does Eldest Senior Brother agree?" Jiang Ling Su's eyes lit up with joy, but she quickly returned to her normal self and said, "Let's go, Eldest Senior Brother. We'll explore the Immortal Realm together!"
Qi Yuan was always generous to this angelic investor.
With Qi Yuan's permission, Jiang Ling Su's face beamed with joy. She then paused and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, should I disguise myself? Otherwise, with my natural beauty, if some rake sets his eyes on me in the Immortal Realm, wouldn't I be causing you trouble for no reason?"
"Apprentice Sister, you're a bit narcissistic!" Qi Yuan didn't hold back, "The people in the Immortal Realm seem very cultured. Those immortal maidens don't even fart, how could they do something so uncultured?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ling Su nodded, "You're right. I should bring more Memory Stones to record everything!"
Jiang Ling Su was thrilled, like a young girl about to go on a trip.
"Hurry up and pack, we need to leave soon," Qi Yuan said, then asked, "Where's your father? Has he been causing trouble for me again?"
If he continued to bother him, Qi Yuan thought it would be safer to just hide in the Upper Realm.
"He..." Jiang Ling Su clicked her tongue, "Recently, he's been surrounded by a bunch of good-for-nothing grandsons."
"Haha, Apprentice Sister, you're going to be a mother soon!"
Qi Yuan descended from the pavilion and visited other places in the Canglan Realm, meeting many people.
First, he met the Withered Tree True Monarch, who was now in his prime and openly with the Great Shang's empress.
Kang Fu Lu was still as flirtatious as ever, with a head full of white hair.
Later, Qi Yuan went to the Blood Robe Alliance and the Primordial Deity Sharing Assembly, where he met the Great Sage Zhenjun.
Finally, he met with the White Fish Great Venerable and other top experts of the Canglan Realm to discuss the matter of upholding the cultivation morality.
As for Qi Jianjun, he had gone to the Three Thousand Realms to fish.
She wasn't very enthusiastic about going to the Upper Realm. She only asked him to find her mother and call her.
Qi Yuan was speechless at his daughter's behavior.
Were fish that easy to catch?
On the pavilion, Qi Yuan handed a set of clothes to Jiang Ling Su.
"Apprentice Sister, these clothes were crafted in the Netherworld's Creation Workshop. They provide both defense and disguise."
"Not only that, but they can also block the mark. But there's one important thing...you can't go too far from me."
The mark of the Taohuang Palace's expert was still within the bodies of the Three Thousand Realms' sentient beings.
If they left Qi Yuan's Netherworld without the protection of the Ten Thousand Varieties Gate, the Taohuang Palace's expert could slaughter and harvest them all in an instant.
That's why Qi Yuan had ordered Qi Qi to create this set of clothes to block the mark.
However, even with these clothes, Jiang Ling Su couldn't go too far from Qi Yuan, or the effect of the Ten Thousand Varieties Gate would disappear.
Jiang Ling Su hugged the clothes, then sighed, "This must be very expensive. My storage bag is empty, and I can't afford it."
In the past, she could act like a rich sister in front of her Eldest Senior Brother, spending lavishly and claiming she didn't need his protection.
Now...
"No worries, didn't you invest in my Netherworld? It's quite profitable." Qi Yuan spoke casually.
Jiang Lingsu's inner unease gradually subsided.
"Senior Brother, turn around while I change my clothes!" Lingsu requested.
"Alright." Qi Yuan obediently turned around.
Although the entire Canglan Realm was now within his Purple Mansion, he didn't need to look to see everything.
However, the proper respect was still necessary.
Soon, the rustling sounds ceased, and Lingsu had changed into a specially tailored green dress by Qi Qi, looking adorable, like a sprite.
But Qi Yuan knew that this was just her outer appearance, and if he peeled away the layers, he would discover her irresistible allure."
"Junior Sister, are you ready? If you are, let's head to the Upper Realm."
Qi Yuan's mood was remarkably calm.
Firstly, going to the Upper Realm for him was like switching to a new game.
Secondly, with the Canglan Realm within his Purple Mansion, it wasn't too far from home.
"Okay!" Lingsu nodded seriously, her heart still carrying a hint of worry.
As Qi Yuan prepared to leave, a sudden rush of sounds came from the distance.
"Senior, wait for me!"
A radiant light flashed, and a man dressed in golden robes appeared, his face filled with anxiety.
Seeing Qi Yuan, he respectfully spoke, "Senior... Since you've devoured the Canglan Realm, the teleportation array of the Desire Gate is malfunctioning. I... I can't return to the Upper Realm!" It was none other than Shen Wu Shen.
He had been slacking off in the Desire Gate, and now... he couldn't go back.
He panicked.
He had come to the Lower Realm for training, not to settle down.
"Ahem..." Qi Yuan coughed, acknowledging his role in this situation, "This time, I'm going to the Fifth Heaven of the Upper Realm. You can come with me."
Shen Wu Shen was from the Upper Realm, a native, and having a guide would be helpful.
"Thank you, Senior!" Shen Wu Shen exhaled in relief.
Although the Fifth Heaven was far from the Buddha Mountain, at least there was hope for him to return.
"Since it's like this... let's go."
Qi Yuan embraced Lingsu, carried Shen Wu Shen, and in an instant, their forms blurred into chaos, all senses seemingly extinguished.
As their vision cleared, Qi Yuan and his companions had arrived in a small world.
This small world was connected to the Moon Gazing Continent, and its teleportation array led directly to the Fifth Heaven of the Mara Clan.
Around the teleportation array, two Yin Gods were lurking, presumably guarding the array.
However, with Qi Yuan's arrival, even in their presence, they remained undetected.
Shen Wu Shen whispered, "The Mara Clan originated from the Black Demon Abyss and is at war with the Moon Goddess Palace.
Senior, be cautious when going to the Mara Clan's territory!"
"I understand," Qi Yuan nodded, glancing at the teleportation array ahead, "By secretly using someone else's teleportation array without paying, aren't we being impolite?
If we're discovered, won't it confirm our lack of morals?"
This time, Qi Yuan's journey to the Upper Realm had multiple purposes: meeting Jin Li, finding his master's wife, and fulfilling his grand wish to purify the immortal realm's atmosphere.
Although the Emperor's efforts should have ensured a positive atmosphere, the realm was vast, and all sorts of beings existed.
Purification was still necessary.
But if he, the one meant to purify the atmosphere, was caught secretly using the teleportation array without paying, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Shen Wu Shen paused, "Should we leave some spirit stones?"
"I don't have many spirit stones," Qi Yuan hesitated, reluctant to part with them.
At that moment, Jiang Lingsu spoke up, "Senior Brother, isn't the Mara Clan our enemy?"
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up at her words, "Using their teleportation array is a sign of trust!
They dare to ask us for payment, showing they don't trust us!
They are truly despicable!"
Without hesitation, his powerful divine soul swept past.
The two Yin God Venerables, hidden in ambush, would remain hidden forever.
In the 1619 version of the book, they were no different!
Their divine souls were annihilated.
Qi Yuan's hand reached out and grabbed, "We should repay evil with kindness. Although they don't trust me, I'll be generous and take care of their remains."
Qi Yuan directly stuffed the two Yin God Venerable corpses into his Netherworld.
Even mosquito meat was still meat, and it must not be wasted.
Shen Wu Shen witnessed this, speechless, his heart filled with relief. He was fortunate to have interacted with Senior Brother Qi Yuan for so long and still be alive; his luck was incredible.
"Alright, let's boldly step onto the teleportation array and show our gratitude to the Mara Clan."
Qi Yuan, embracing Lingsu, stepped onto the teleportation array.
Shen Wu Shen also hurriedly flew towards it.
The teleportation array slowly activated at this moment.
"After reaching the Upper Realm, we still need to hurry."
"Although I trust them, they don't trust me," Qi Yuan whispered.
Although his strength was formidable, he had to be cautious at the headquarters of the Mara Clan.
After all, according to the Buddha Sect, the Mara Clan also had four Ultimate Principle experts.
Most importantly, the Mara Clan possessed Creation Artifacts.
If Qi Yuan recklessly killed within the Mara Clan, he would face a tragic death if the four Ultimate Principles experts surrounded him with their Creation Artifacts.
The teleportation array activated, and a vast aura that seemed capable of tearing everything apart swept through.
Jiang Lingsu tightly hugged Qi Yuan, her scent filling his senses. After all, she had only recently reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and her physical body couldn't withstand such a powerful teleportation array.
Shen Wushen, a direct disciple of Futu Mountain, had the mountain's bestowed treasures on his body, allowing him to safely pass through the teleportation array.
After about ten breaths, the sky suddenly cleared.
"Run!" Qi Yuan hugged Jiang Lingsu and grabbed Shen Wushen, fleeing madly.
In the Upper Realm, a Great Venerable guarding the teleportation array was left dumbfounded.
"Just now...did someone come?"
"Let's go check the teleportation array...hmm...what are we checking?"
"Forget it, continue cultivating."
...
The Mara Holy Tower, though called a tower, had a land area almost as vast as the Canglan Realm.
From the ground to the sky, its height was unknown, and it was divided into countless layers.
Countless Floating Cities hung in the sky, surrounding the Mara Holy Tower.
On the ground, there were mostly ordinary beings, with few cultivators.
The Floating Cities and the Mara Holy Tower were where the cultivators resided.
At this moment, on one of the Floating Cities, Qi Yuan stretched lazily, "The air in the Upper Realm is indeed sweeter, but...weren't there supposed to be Yang Immortals everywhere, and myths are rarer than dogs?"
This Floating City was much larger than Dashiang.
Among all the Floating Cities, it was one of the smaller ones.
Shen Wushen smiled awkwardly, "Senior, Yin Gods are absolute powerhouses wherever they are!"
If he entered the Yin God realm, he could immediately apply to become an elder due to his status as a direct disciple.
This was an elder of a Holy Land! In the Immortal Realm, there were numerous sects besides Holy Lands, their numbers reaching millions or even billions.
Among these sects, the strongest were myths, or Great Venerables and Venerables.
Some were even Purple Mansion cultivators, and there were those who hadn't even reached the Primordial Core stage, falling short of the Divine Light Sect.
"Then what am I, a Purple Mansion cultivator?" Qi Yuan secretly asked.
Shen Wushen was taken aback.
You're still at the Purple Mansion stage?
"Outside of Holy Lands, Purple Mansion cultivators can also be called ancestors!"
"Indeed, I'm now a mountain king." Qi Yuan's gaze turned towards the distant Mara Holy Tower, full of anticipation, "Up there...there are so many unkempt White Moonlights."
Shen Wushen spoke at this moment, "The Mara Clan has ninety-nine Mara Holy Towers.
The ninety-nine Mara Holy Towers share resources with each other.
If you want to go to the intersection of the Sixth Heaven and Fifth Heaven, the Demon Abyss, you must pass through the Mara Holy Tower."
Each Heaven isn't as simple as just passing through.
One must go through a Holy Land.
As for ordinary cultivators, without great opportunities, they may never leave the Heaven they reside in for their entire lives.
Qi Yuan took a deep breath, "How do I obtain the qualification to pass through? Should I forcefully break in?"
Shen Wushen's forehead broke out in cold sweat upon hearing this, "I only know how to descend, but I don't know how to ascend. If you forcefully break in...you'll likely trigger the restrictions left by the Ultimate Principles, and even Yang Immortal experts would be banished to the gaps of the Immortal Realm."
"Oh dear, you're not a very good tour guide. I'll just ask Wuti Buddha instead," Qi Yuan was quite disappointed in Shen Wushen.
After ascending to the Upper Realm, he had originally thought of him as a tour guide and asked him many questions.
However, he knew very little.
He didn't seem like a native at all.
Shen Wushen felt a bit wronged upon hearing this.
At this moment, Qi Yuan also communicated with his Divine Infant, Wuti Buddha.
Currently, Buddha Heaven, ruled by Wuti Buddha, was located at the other end of the Fifth Heaven.
Soon, Qi Yuan received an answer from Wuti Buddha.
To ascend to the Sixth Heaven, one needed the Heaven-Piercing Jade.
Usually, the Yang Immortal experts of the Mara Clan carried numerous Heaven-Piercing Jade.
There might also be some Heaven-Piercing Jade scattered within the Mara Holy Tower.
Qi Yuan looked at the Mara Holy Tower ahead, his eyes full of anticipation, "Let's go to the Mara Holy Tower!"
He already had a plan in mind, a perfect one.
If he couldn't find the Heaven-Piercing Jade, he would go after the White Moonlights.
Using his Purple Mansion cultivation to lure a foolish White Moonlight wouldn't be too much, would it?
