Chapter 425: White Moonlight Becomes Three Defects, I Will Not Leave or Abandon

Chapter 425: White Moonlight Becomes Three Defects, I Will Not Leave or Abandon

As usual, Qi Yuan and Jingli chatted leisurely for a long time.

"Did they borrow the Immortal Jade?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Yes, they did," Jingli replied.

The conversation reminded her of their time in the Moon Viewing Continent.

Back then, Qi Yuan was in one of the four forbidden lands, facing danger.

Yet, she constantly enjoyed his blessings.

"That's good," Qi Yuan continued, "When the time is right, you can instruct your family... to launch a surprise attack on the Mara Clan's Immortal Jade mines in the Sixth Heaven."

The Sixth Heaven's sacred land had industries in the Fifth Heaven, and the Mara Clan also had numerous Immortal Jade mines in the Sixth Heaven.

"You... be careful. If things don't work out, come to the Moon Goddess Palace at any time. With the Bamboo Moon Fragment, even if the Mara Venerable brings the Mara Clan's well from the Upper World, they won't be able to harm you in the slightest!" Jingli was most concerned about Qi Yuan's safety.)



"Don't worry, a bunch of old men and women who don't like to bathe can't hurt me."

After the communication ended, Qi Yuan transformed into the appearance of a Demon Eye Sovereign and sat solemnly in his cave abode, continuing to expand the Golden Core Chapter of the Qi Yuan Scripture.

"Sigh, Ning Tuo will be busy for quite some time."

A single divine art could almost condense a Stellar Golden Core.

In the vast and desolate universe of the Stellar Golden Core, Ning Tuo hardly had any rest.

Indeed, there were countless divine arts.

However, this was quite normal in the Sixth Heaven.

The lifespan of a Yangshen was virtually infinite.

Unless they perished during the Root Devil Tribulation or at the hands of an enemy, they were virtually immortal.

With an endless amount of time, the divine arts created by Yangshen were naturally abundant.

"Therefore, before the game begins, there are three ways to improve one's strength.

One is to condense Golden Cores and win through numbers.

The second is to participate in the Principle Debate Conference and comprehend the supreme Ultimate Reason.

The third is to find my Family Well and obtain a Creation Artifact, which is also a significant way to enhance one's power."

Qi Yuan mumbled to himself.

He was a man who planned meticulously.

Good luck favors those who make plans.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yuan opened his eyes, a smile in his gaze, only to turn it into a sigh.

"Even after stepping into the Yangshen realm, it's still difficult to resist inner temptations.

Everyone who sees the Ultimate Reason Gate is like seeing a stunningly beautiful woman without clothes, losing all reason and rushing in without regard for their life.

Of course, the most important thing is still my excellent acting skills."

Qi Yuan murmured to himself.

He then felt that his analogy was inappropriate.

Comparing the Ultimate Reason Gate to a stunningly beautiful woman without clothes was an insult to the gate and also to the Yangshen Sovereigns.

"There's another one who has fallen for my plan. I should go and take a look."

Qi Yuan's figure vanished, turning into a streak of flowing light.

About five hundred breaths of time passed.

Qi Yuan found himself in the Netherworld, with remnants of a great battle scattered all over the ground—broken walls and ruins.

With the help of a surprise attack and the Divine Infants, his previous strike could be described as effortless.

"I am your ancestor!"

Once again, he followed the routine and lured an unlucky fellow into his trap, only to defeat him.

"Another Three Defects person has appeared in the Netherworld!"

"Sigh, I'm too kind. Even after turning White Moonlight into a Three Defects person, I still don't abandon her and continue to take care of her."

Hmm... physically disabled, soul-disabled, and brain-disabled.

Commonly known as Three Defects.

"Alright, with this person taken care of, the Skyless Buddha will be able to sneak into the Netherworld with his Buddhist Kingdom."

Qi Yuan was in a good mood.

The place guarded by this Three Defects person was located at the border of the Demon Abyss.

With the authority he possessed, he could allow the Skyless Buddha to stealthily infiltrate the Netherworld, bringing his Buddhist Kingdom.

When the time comes, and he encounters a Yangshen in the Great Principle Realm, Qi Yuan wouldn't have to exert so much effort in defeating them.

...

Time flew by, and two months passed.

During Qi Yuan's absence, Jingli, as usual, went to the Absolute Moon Abyss to exterminate the Mara Clan.

With Qi Yuan's assistance, it could be said that Jingli's missions were smooth and successful.

Each time, she returned with bountiful results.

Yu Tiao looked at Jingli with envious eyes: "The Princess Moon Maiden's achievements are probably enough for her to make a request to the Moon Goddess Primordial Lord."

Yu Tiao immediately regretted her words after speaking.

Jingli's request was to free herself from the identity of the Moon Maiden.

Jingli responded with a simple "Hmm."

In the Moon Goddess Palace, she had always been cold and distant.

"The Princess has been having it too easy lately. Could it be that there's a spy hidden among the Mara Clan?" Yu Tiao changed the topic, her eyes filled with anticipation.

A smile appeared in Jingli's eyes: "I cannot disclose that."

Of course, she wouldn't reveal any information about Qi Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tiao didn't dwell on it further and casually asked, "I wonder which family the Princess Moon Maiden's favorite genius comes from?"

Curiosity filled Yu Tiao's eyes.

The people around them also looked at Jingli with interest.

Everyone in the Moon Goddess Palace was curious about who Qi Yuan was, the man who had won the heart of a beauty and even made Jingli give up her identity as the Moon Maiden.

His master or ancestor, who might that be?

It should be... a Principle Yang Immortal?

"He doesn't come from any particular family," Jingli shook her head.

She understood what these people were saying.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators in the room were all astonished.

But in the next breath, Jingli's words left them even more stunned.

"I met him when I descended to the Lower World," Jingli's eyes carried a hint of reminiscence.

Everyone present was completely dumbfounded.

"A Lower World cultivator?"

"He's actually a Lower World cultivator!"

It was no easy feat for a cultivator from the Lower World to ascend to the Upper World.

However, in the Moon Goddess Palace, Lower World cultivators were rarely seen.

After all, the Moon Goddess Palace was also located in the Sixth Heaven of the Upper World.

The Lower World was a distant place for them.

Since he had ascended from the Lower World, it meant he had no background whatsoever.

As a result, they were all shocked and surprised that Jingli was willing to give up her Moon Maiden identity for him.

If it was said that he was the descendant of a Principle or Great Supreme Enlightenment cultivator, it would be understandable.

But for someone from the Lower World to achieve such a feat, it was beyond their comprehension.

Facing Jingli, they couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, as if pitying her decision.

"He's different," Jingli's eyes sparkled with a brilliant smile.

He had always been different.

The allure of the Faceless Sword God was forever etched in her memory.

Just then, a voice transmission entered her ears.

"Jingli, come to the Moon Temple."

The voice belonged to the Moon Gatherer Sovereign.

Jingli hurriedly quickened her pace towards the Moon Temple.

The moon hung high in the sky, and its bright moonlight bathed the Moon Temple, as if coating it with a layer of white jade.

Jingli wore a black robe with a wide crimson collar, and a light gold belt around her waist, creating a distinct division that accentuated her graceful figure. The intricate embroidery on the collar added a touch of elegance.

"Greetings, Moon Gatherer Sovereign!"

Jingli bowed respectfully towards the Moon Gatherer Sovereign.

As a Yang Deity, she couldn't see the Moon Gatherer Sovereign's face or true form.

"Hmm," the Moon Gatherer Sovereign nodded, their voice resonating with authority, "Now, how is Qi Yuan faring against the Mara Clan?"

Curiosity shone in the Moon Gatherer Sovereign's eyes.

Two months had passed, and they were unsure if Qi Yuan had successfully deceived the other Mara Clan Grand Deities and secured his position.

Jingli's heart tightened.

She recalled her conversation with Qi Yuan the previous day.

A Buddha from the Buddha Nation had descended and, together with Qi Yuan, they had assassinated a Principle Realm Yang Deity.

When she heard this yesterday, she was shocked beyond belief, just as she had been when she first heard Qi Yuan's bold statements in the Lower World.

The Buddha of the Buddha Nation, wasn't that the current Buddha?

How could there be another Skyless Buddha?

And to call oneself a Buddha, one must have the potential to break through into the Great Supreme Enlightenment Realm.

Yet, even this Buddha followed Qi Yuan's command.

How could Jingli not be surprised?

More importantly, they had taken down a Principle Realm cultivator.

In the Demon Abyss, Qi Yuan seemed to have everything under control.

But if this information got out, it would be too sensational.

As long as Qi Yuan hadn't stabilized the situation and guaranteed his control, she wouldn't reveal this information, to prevent any unexpected changes.

"The situation is temporarily under control," Jingli replied calmly.

Hearing this, the Moon Gatherer Sovereign let out a sigh of relief, "As long as he can lie low, that's good enough."

Then, the Moon Gatherer Sovereign's tone shifted.

"I wonder if he can pull off a grand scheme," the Moon Gatherer Sovereign's eyes flashed with determination.

Jingli bowed slightly, "I'd like to hear the details."

"In thirty years, during the Spirit Energy Tide of the Crescent Abyss, the Demon Abandon Grand Deity will need to enter seclusion and cannot be disturbed.

At that time, he can secretly activate the Creation Artifact's permissions, allowing the Demon Abandon Grand Deity to infiltrate and strike down the Demon Abandon Grand Deity, or even... kill him!"

The Moon Gatherer Sovereign explained her plan step by step.

The plan sounded ordinary, but every step was incredibly challenging, and gathering this information was no easy task.

Jingli listened calmly, "I'll pass on this information to him."

"If the Demon Abandon Grand Deity is struck down or killed, he can flee to the Moon Goddess Palace's territory.

I still suggest that you convince him to join the Moon Goddess Palace. Otherwise, alone, he won't have a place to stand, and facing the Mara Clan's siege, he won't be able to hide," the Moon Gatherer Sovereign continued.

Her eyes held anticipation.

If the plan succeeded, thirty years later, she would have accomplished a great feat.

For so many years, both sides had been plotting against each other, wanting to strike down the other's Yang Deity Grand Deity, or even kill them. Unfortunately, neither side had achieved any success.

Now, finally seeing this opportunity, how could she not be thrilled?

"If the Demon Abandon Grand Deity is killed, even if you give up your Moon Maiden identity, I will grant you a Yang Deity Opportunity!" the Moon Gatherer Sovereign declared with authority.

(End)

The Moon Goddess Palace is in a noticeable decline, and she must take action.

"Thank you, Grand Deity!" Jingli bowed, her chest puffing up with pride for Qi Yuan, while also feeling a hint of concern.

At the same time, within the Absolute Moon Abyss.

A Mythical Cultivator from the Mara Clan was hiding in the shadows, fear and panic evident in his eyes.

He gazed into the depths of the Absolute Moon Abyss.

"His Majesty... has betrayed us!"

Mu Lan, ranked among the top ten Mythical Powerhouses in the Absolute Moon Abyss, had been in charge of logistics.

Recently, every battle between the Absolute Moon Abyss and the Moon Goddess Palace had resulted in complete annihilation.

Their information seemed to be easily accessible to the Moon Goddess Palace, as if there were no barriers.

Mu Lan, cautious as ever, pretended to be unaware while secretly investigating.

What he discovered shocked him.

All clues pointed to the Demon Eye Sovereign.

Each military deployment was top-secret; only the leading Mythical Cultivator and the Demon Eye Sovereign were aware of them.

But with such frequent deployments, it was like offering up heads on a platter.

Those who knew the plans had all perished.

It was clear who the traitor was—the one still alive must be the spy.

Their leader, the first among them in the Absolute Moon Abyss, the Demon Eye Sovereign, was the prime suspect.

Mu Lan was startled.

"This matter must be reported to the other Grand Deities," Mu Lan concealed himself.

He felt that things couldn't continue like this.

Perhaps he would be sent to deal with the Moon Goddess Palace next, and he would be the next to die.

Waiting for death was not his style.

"Molizh Tianzun?"

"No, Molizh Tianzun is too weak."

"We need someone powerful!"

"How about... Mara Venerable!"

Mara Venerable, a Principle Yangshen, was second only to Mara Prosper in the Demon Abyss.

With this in mind, Mu Lan stepped into the teleportation array, heading towards Mara Venerable's stronghold.

His figure disappeared, leaving behind a pair of golden eyes in the sky.

"Life is full of surprises; should I surprise him next?" Qi Yuan muttered to himself.

Nowadays, Qi Yuan hardly bothered to conceal himself.

Before, he would have disguised himself as a giant eyeball.

But now... he couldn't be bothered.

The nearby Yangshen Venerables had all been taken care of by him.

The remaining few were also on his radar.

As for Mara Prosper, he would be dealt with last.

"When the time comes, it will be another day of acting!"

Qi Yuan already had a well-thought-out plan to handle Mara Prosper, who was skilled at forming alliances with other Grand Deities as a Principle Yangshen.

Mara Prosper had formed a small group with the other five Heaven Rank Yangshen Venerables.

Within this group, they often chatted and even teased each other about other Yangshen Venerables.

Apparently, they had a good relationship.

But on the surface, even the Demon Eye Sovereign was unaware of their secret communication.

Now, only Mara Prosper remained uncaptured in the group.

The other Grand Deities had all been taken care of.

After some thought, Qi Yuan felt it was time to make his move.

Five communication devices appeared.

A pig-butchering scheme, huh? I've got multiple accounts in the group, and you're the pig.

Qi Yuan began to speak.

"I see purple glow in the south, which seems to be the Purple Aura.

It's likely a plot by the Moon Goddess Palace. Is anyone willing to explore it with me?"

After a while, Qi Yuan responded with another account.

"It's indeed the Purple Aura! I'm in!"

"I'll join as well!"

"Since we've seen it, let's go together!"

The other accounts chimed in one after another.

"What about Mara Prosper? Should we invite him?" someone asked.

"Mara Prosper, being a Principle Realm cultivator, would hardly be interested in a mere strand of Purple Aura!"

"Yes, if it were a complete strand of Purple Aura, Mara Prosper might be interested, but dividing it among five people is probably not feasible."

Qi Yuan, using his five accounts, chatted with himself in the group.

First, let's give Mara Prosper the truth.

We've seen the Purple Aura, and we're preparing to capture it!

With this setup, once the other Grand Deities are captured, we can target Mara Prosper.

"I laugh at Mara's lack of strategy and Mara Prosper's foolishness!"

"The Mara Clan is insignificant. They'll all become Three Defects!"

Qi Yuan's eyes gleamed with determination.

In reality, the success of these plans was closely tied to the Supreme Reason Council's immense appeal to Yangshen Venerables, as well as the Netherworld's peculiar nature, which isolated the Yangshen Venerables within.

Of course, Qi Yuan's formidable strength also played a significant role.

If any of these three factors were missing, it would be impossible to capture a Yangshen Venerable so quietly.

"After taking over the Demon Abyss, I can return to the Fifth Heaven to fish and bring my wife back!"

Qi Yuan was a man of meticulous planning and organization.
