Chapter 423: I'll Tell You a Way to Get Rich
Chapter 423: I'll Tell You a Way to Get Rich
Perhaps sensing the impending separation, Jingli was more talkative than usual.
"You must not reveal your identity as Shiri Tianzun!"
"Mhm." Qi Yuan nodded with a smile.
Nowadays, he lured Yang Shen into the Netherworld to kill them.
Therefore, no one would associate him with Shiri Tianzun.
As long as he didn't reveal his origins from the Moon Gazing Continent and didn't use the Stellar Golden Core in battles, no one would know he was Shiri Tianzun.
"I'll see you off." There was still a strong reluctance in Jingli's eyes.
"Look, what's this?" At that moment, a jade piece appeared in Qi Yuan's hand.
This jade piece resembled Linglong Jade Tide.
In the past few days, Qi Yuan had asked the Divine Infant to create this jade piece to match the one Jingli already had.
Although they could communicate through ordinary jade slips, there was a need for a more ceremonial connection. Linglong Jade Tide held extraordinary significance for Jingli.
"Should we exchange the Linglong Jade Tide?" Qi Yuan shook the jade piece in his hand.
The specially made Linglong Jade Tide also had additional functions, capable of protecting Jingli's safety.
"Alright!" Jingli's face lit up, and she took the Linglong Jade Tide from Qi Yuan.
After a while, the two left the grand hall.
The time they spent together always felt fleeting. Jingli's expression still carried a hint of anxiety, as if everything seemed like a dream.
Only when she pinched her palm and felt a slight pain did she feel slightly reassured.
"What's the matter?" Jingli asked, leaning against Qi Yuan like a small bird.
She seemed to be declaring through her actions that this man was hers.
The armored woman before them was, in fact, a Yin God.
Her status was rather unique.
In the Moon Goddess Palace, there existed a group known as the Moon Maiden Clan.
This woman was a member of the same clan as Jingli, the Moon Maiden.
Her parents had perished long ago, and the clan had sent her to the Moon Goddess Palace, where she eventually became a Moon Maiden.
Her clan had also become a Moon Maiden Clan, enjoying high-end benefits.
"Miss, you're giving up your identity as a Moon Maiden! Your family..." The armored woman's face was respectful, but her gaze towards Qi Yuan held a hint of hostility.
It wasn't easy for their clan to have a Moon Maiden.
It was only because of Jingli's existence that their clan had enjoyed prosperity for tens of thousands of years.
"This matter... Should we discuss it with the elders? Perhaps they have opinions!" The armored woman said through gritted teeth.
Facing Jingli, she felt a hint of fear in her heart.
"If the elders have opinions, then they shouldn't be elders. Let others take their place." Jingli's tone was unyielding.
The armored woman's face stiffened. She hadn't expected Jingli's attitude to be so firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
The armored woman wanted to say more.
After all, if Jingli lost her identity as a Moon Maiden, the resources and treatment the family received would decrease.
"Miss, without the identity of a Moon Maiden, it's likely... very difficult to enter the Yang Shen realm!" The armored woman could only say through gritted teeth.
At the same time, her gaze towards Qi Yuan was unfriendly.
Beauty could be deceiving! The young miss valued handsome men over her future.
"Whether I become a Moon Maiden or not is my decision." Jingli's attitude was resolute.
It could be said that the clan's current status was entirely due to her.
Now, they had merely lost those benefits.
It was normal for them to have complaints.
It was like giving a beggar a hundred dollars every day, and then one day, you suddenly stop. The beggar might get angry and ask, "Where's my money?"
"He will be my Dao Companion." Jingli hugged Qi Yuan and announced solemnly.
The armored woman felt disheartened: "Miss, the family's interests are minor compared to your... future..."
Before Jingli could speak, Qi Yuan stepped forward.
"My left eyelid is twitching, which means that Jingli's future with me will definitely be very bright." Qi Yuan said confidently.
According to the cultivation methods of the Moon Goddess Palace, Jingli could indeed enter the Yang Shen realm.
But the Great Principle Realm?
It was just a thought.
Not to mention anything else, but if Jingli were placed in the Ultimate Reason Gate and meditated for a few million years, she would be invincible in the Sixth Heaven.
This was the power of the Sixth Heaven's top Creation Artifact.
Therefore, by following him, Jingli's future would be better than becoming a Moon Maiden.
The armored woman was a little perplexed, or perhaps she found it hard to understand.
She didn't fully trust Qi Yuan's words.
After all, there were very few forces stronger than the Sixth Heaven.
Jingli went to other major powers, but she might not receive such treatment.
So, she suspected that Qi Yuan's sweet words had swayed the young lady.
Of course, this was just a suspicion, and without evidence, she couldn't voice it.
"You are Jingli's family, which means you are my family too," Qi Yuan said with a benevolent expression at this moment. "Having lost the identity of the Moon Maiden, your treatment may be reduced.
But... I have a secret piece of information about getting rich quick, which I'll tell you discreetly. Don't let it slip out."
The armored woman was dumbfounded, her face filled with doubt.
Get rich quick?
"His words are as good as mine," Jingli spoke up at this moment.
She had always stood by Qi Yuan's side.
"Please... Young Master, elaborate!" The armored woman said respectfully, though she didn't quite understand.
To be honest, she didn't entirely believe Qi Yuan's words about getting rich.
At this moment, Qi Yuan transmitted his voice to the armored woman, "I have inside information. The Mara Clan is about to kick the bucket. You should take this opportunity to borrow Immortal Jade from them.
Once the Mara Clan is finished, you won't have to return the borrowed Immortal Jade!"
The Mara Clan and the Moon Goddess Palace were currently at war, but there was still some trade going on between their subordinate forces.
War is war, and trade is trade.
If it really came down to it, Jingli's relatives could also cooperate with other powers and borrow Immortal Jade from the Mara Clan under the name of another power.
Upon hearing this, the armored woman was completely dumbfounded.
What Qi Yuan said was too far-fetched.
The Mara Clan was going to be exterminated?
Borrow Immortal Jade?
Both of these things seemed highly unreliable.
Although the Mara Clan had been subservient to the Taohuang Palace and the Black Demon Abyss, they were the overlords of the Fifth Heaven.
Among the Sixth Heaven, the Mara Clan's influence was strong enough to rank within the top thirty.
How could such a giant suddenly be on the verge of destruction?
Unless there was a Supreme Ultimate Truth Saint in the Sixth Heaven, who could possibly destroy them? Moreover, the Mara Clan possessed the Creation Artifact, Mara Well. Even if they weren't a match for a Supreme Ultimate Truth Saint, they could escape to the First Heaven with the Mara Well.
In other words, a Supreme Ultimate Truth Saint wouldn't bother with such a minor force.
Most importantly, how did you come to know about this?
"Rest assured, even if the Mara Clan doesn't get exterminated, they'll definitely suffer a heavy blow. You don't have to worry about returning the borrowed Immortal Jade," Qi Yuan added.
He was quite experienced in such matters.
In the past, he had collaborated with the Iceberg Overlord to borrow Spirit Stones from the Bright Moon Palace.
This time, the target had become the Mara Clan.
The armored woman's expression showed hesitation. If it weren't for the young lady's presence, she would have liked to ask Qi Yuan, "Are you joking?"
After all, what Qi Yuan said was too fantastical to be taken seriously.
If the Moon Deity Prime Elder were truly determined to destroy the Mara Clan, they would definitely formulate a thorough plan and strike with lightning speed, wiping out the Mara Clan.
Before the Mara Clan's destruction, this information would never leak out.
They would never reveal such information, allowing others to borrow Immortal Jade.
For a power like the Moon Goddess Palace, this amount of Immortal Jade wasn't worth much.
The terrifying part was the information leak.
What Qi Yuan said was too comical and absurd.
Seeing the armored woman's conflicted expression, Jingli spoke seriously, "Don't let this leak out. Go back now and urge your master to borrow Immortal Jade from the Mara Clan!"
The current Jingli was no longer the weak female emperor she once was. She was decisive and acted with swiftness.
The armored woman, despite her confusion, said, "As you command."
After the young lady returned from the lower realm, her attitude had changed, becoming more assertive and dominant.
"The more, the better," Jingli added.
She wasn't worried about this matter causing any leaks.
After all, even if Qi Yuan said this to Mara Venerable, Mara Venerable probably wouldn't take it seriously.
After all, when had a Saint ever borrowed Immortal Jade before destroying another Saint?
Qi Yuan looked at the armored woman and said with a smile, "Rest assured, follow me, and you'll have delicious food and drinks, meat with every meal, and eggs with your noodles!"
The armored woman: "..."
...
As they left the area of the Moon Goddess Palace, Qi Yuan felt a faint sadness.
"Sigh, I have to act again."
"Damn, I've discovered one of the world's top ten unsolved mysteries!"
"So strange, who's the director, who's the producer, and why aren't they giving me my acting fees?"
"Who owes me money!"
Qi Yuan was speechless.
Suddenly, he realized that someone outside owed him money, but what troubled him was that he didn't know who this person was, which made him feel very depressed.
However, this wasn't the time to dwell on that.
It was time for him to start acting.
Within the Absolute Moon Abyss, a terrifying aura descended.
The massive eyeball suddenly shrank and swiftly retreated into the cave abode.
At this moment, the Yin Gods guarding the Absolute Moon Abyss felt a terrifying and chilling aura.
Everyone's faces changed, realizing that something significant had occurred.
Then, a vast voice resounded in the ears of all the Yin Gods.
"Activate the formation, full defense!"
"I'm in seclusion, do not disturb me!"
Upon hearing this vast voice, most of the Yin Gods from the Mara Clan paled, their expressions grave.
Whispers and telepathic conversations filled the air.
"What's going on with the Venerable..."
"Something big is about to happen!"
Although Demon Eye Sovereign's sneak attack on the Moon Goddess Palace was carried out in secret without exposing any information, the disappearance of some Mythic Realm experts and Great Venerables in the Absolute Moon Abyss left a trail to follow.
Especially in recent days, they had also sensed tremors in the direction of the Moon Goddess Palace, suggesting the presence of Yang Gods.
Combined with the current situation of Demon Eye Sovereign's seclusion and the activation of the formation, they could vaguely guess what had transpired.
Everyone's faces turned solemn, their expressions filled with worry.
At this moment, within Demon Eye Sovereign's cave abode, Qi Yuan lay in hiding, his aura slightly unstable, appearing to have suffered severe injuries.
"This big eyeball is so ugly."
"Sigh, no wonder modern actors don't like to wear ugly makeup. If it weren't for the plan, why would I endure such humiliation and play the role of a big eyeball?"
This time, Qi Yuan had devised a detailed plan.
The plan was named "Returning the Well to its Home."
The plan consisted of three steps.
For the success of this plan, he had even summoned the Unheavenly Buddha, the holder of the Buddha Country.
It could be said that the detail and precision of this plan were among the top three most intricate plans Qi Yuan had ever devised.
The first step was to deceive and lure all the Mara Clan Venerables in the Demon Abyss into the Ultimate Reason Gate and kill them.
The second step was to secretly infiltrate the Fifth Heaven while everyone was distracted, repeat the same trick, and eliminate the Mara Clan Venerables.
The third step was to bring the well home.
His family's well had endured homelessness and loneliness, suffering endless humiliation, and it was time for it to return home and enjoy some peace.
Qi Yuan explained his plan.
Simultaneously, he continued to refine the plan in his mind.
After an unknown amount of time, a vast aura suddenly permeated the Absolute Moon Abyss.
Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious, and said softly, "Mara Prosper Venerable, since you're here, come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a towering aura rose within Demon Eye Sovereign's cave abode.
The phantom of Mara Prosper Venerable appeared, his face filled with astonishment as he looked at Demon Eye Sovereign, "Demon Eye, what's going on?"
Mara Prosper Venerable was one of the three Principle Yang Immortals in the Demon Abyss and had a good relationship with Demon Eye Sovereign.
"Sigh, I've fallen into the trap of those old ladies from Moon Gatherer!" Qi Yuan's voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with resentment, "They actually abandoned a Deputy Governor and destroyed a bit of the Bamboo Moon Fragment's authority to lure me into the trap!"
Qi Yuan spoke with anger.
Within the cave abode, the chains shook, and the space became extremely unstable.
Hearing this, Mara Prosper Venerable's expression remained unchanged, "Demon Eye, you acted too impulsively this time!"
Demon Eye Sovereign had fallen into Moon Gatherer's trap, resulting in the loss of many subordinates.
"How severe are your injuries? Does the Absolute Moon Abyss need support?" Mara Prosper Venerable asked.
Demon Eye Sovereign's pupils suddenly changed, his aura overwhelming, "I'm not injured, and the Absolute Moon Abyss doesn't need any support!"
Seeing this, Mara Prosper Venerable's expression remained unchanged.
Demon Eye Sovereign had always been arrogant and stubborn, and he couldn't lose face.
"Don't let the Absolute Moon Abyss fall into disarray." After Mara Prosper Venerable finished speaking, his figure disappeared.
Inside the cave abode, Qi Yuan sat upright on the throne, his eyes narrowed, "My acting skills should be decent, right?"
At the same time, outside the Absolute Moon Abyss, Mara Prosper Venerable's phantom hid nearby, his gaze profound.
"Demon Eye... seems a bit different from before."
As a Principle Yang Immortal, Mara Prosper Venerable's sensitivity was beyond ordinary.
"I'm too far from this place to constantly observe Demon Eye, what a nuisance."
Mara Prosper Venerable thought to himself.
He vaguely felt that Demon Eye Sovereign might have some issues.
"Right, Fiery Flame is nearby, I can ask him to keep an eye on Demon Eye." Mara Prosper Venerable had an idea and headed towards the Broken Moon Abyss.
