Chapter 427: Mara's Legitimacy is With Me

Within the Flood Moon Abyss, a purple aura leaked out.

In an instant, the authority of the Creation Artifact was activated, concealing the purple aura, but even so, within a radius of several hundred thousand miles, and even further into the Upper World, Yang Deities could sense a faint trace of this aura.

In the Moon Goddess Palace, a Grand Heaven Realm Yang Deity revealed a solemn expression.

"The purple aura is like clouds, indicating the emergence of a treasure. This is the territory of the Mara Clan in the Flood Moon Abyss!"

Even as a Yang Deity, she couldn't help but feel restless.

With so much purple aura, just a glance was enough to significantly enhance her cultivation.

"Why did it appear in the territory of the Mara Clan?"

The Yang Deity's expression turned bitter.

Recently, news had spread that the Moon God Primordial Lord had suffered a severe injury.

The Yang Deities in the Moon Goddess Palace were all tense, their nerves stretched to the limit.

Although the Moon Goddess Palace still held its lofty status, upon closer inspection, one could discover... significant changes had occurred within the palace.

During battles, the number of traitors had increased by fifty percent compared to the past.

When trading with other sacred lands, there were those who raised the price without reason.

It could be said that the entire Moon Goddess Palace was in a state of turmoil.

The situation in the Demon Abyss could not afford any setbacks; otherwise, this might become the spark that leads to a devastating defeat.

Now, in the territory of the Mara Clan, the purple aura was like clouds, and a treasure had appeared.

Due to the concealment by the Creation Artifact, Moon Lotus Grandmaster couldn't discern any further information.

But if the Mara Clan were to enhance their strength because of this, it would put immense pressure on the Moon Goddess Palace.

Having guarded the Demon Abyss for so long, Moon Lotus Grandmaster had never felt such pressure, and there had been no intense battles involving Yang Deities.

But ever since the news of the Moon God Primordial Lord's severe injury spread, she felt immense pressure, and the battles in the Demon Abyss escalated at that moment.

Just as she was feeling anxious, a voice entered her ears.

"Moon Lotus Grandmaster, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Hearing the man's voice, Moon Lotus Grandmaster's expression turned profound.

As Yang Deities, their communication naturally wouldn't be suppressed by the Creation Artifact.

The one who sent her the message was the Yang Deity Grand Deity of Divine Luo Heaven, one of the Three Heavens.

As the saying goes, there are One Council, Two Palaces, Three Heavens, and Four Abyss.

The number of sacred lands in the Sixth Heaven, when added together, doesn't even reach thirty.

Among them, the strongest is this One Council, Two Palaces, Three Heavens, and Four Abyss.

This ranking doesn't imply a sequence, and it's not that the One Council is the strongest.

The One Council naturally refers to the Supreme Reason Council.

The Two Palaces are Taohuang Palace and Moon Goddess Palace.

Divine Luo Heaven is one of the Three Heavens.

The strongest figure in their ranks is a Yang Deity Grand Deity who has attained Supreme Principle, not inferior to the Moon God Primordial Lord.

This Yang Deity from Divine Luo Heaven had been in intermittent contact with Moon Lotus Grandmaster, attempting to poach members from the Moon Goddess Palace.

Now, bringing up this topic was like old news.

"I have received the grace of the Moon Goddess Palace. If I were to leave at this time, where would my conscience be?

If I am fortunate enough to enter the Principle Realm one day, what's the big deal about the Root Devil Tribulation?" Moon Lotus Grandmaster replied calmly, her attitude resolute.

"The Moon God Primordial Lord has suffered a severe injury, and Taohuang Palace is watching with covetous eyes. If I don't find another place to go, I can only face the same fate as the Moon Goddess Palace." The Yang Deity Grand Deity spoke with a sigh in her voice.

Moon Lotus Grandmaster's face changed slightly: "Have you heard some news?"

This Yang Deity from Divine Luo Heaven was the descendant of a Yang Deity Grand Deity.

The information she knew was more than what others had.

Although it was true that the Moon God Primordial Lord had suffered a severe injury, it wasn't easy for one who had attained Supreme Principle to fall.

So how could the Moon Goddess Palace have problems? But the other's words just now made Moon Lotus Grandmaster's heart tighten.

"Some news has spread, and when the Principle Debate begins, you'll know.

By the way, Moon Lotus, let me remind you again. There's already been a Yang Deity Grand Deity who has rebelled and joined one of the Four Abyss."

After the Yang Deity Grand Deity finished speaking, her voice fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Moon Lotus Grandmaster's expression changed drastically, her face filled with complexity.

"There's actually a Yang Deity Grand Deity who has rebelled!"

This was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue.

That was a Yang Deity Grand Deity! An existence that was a pillar of a power.

For a Yang Deity Grand Deity to dare to rebel, it must be because they discovered... that the Moon Goddess Palace truly had no hope?

The Moon Goddess Palace... had already reached such a state?

"Should these news... be reported to the higher-ups?"

Moon Lotus Grandmaster hesitated.

If they asked her how she obtained this information, what should she say?

She hesitated.

...

On the other side, Mara Prosperous Grand Deity's figure descended like a great roc.

Within the Flood Moon Abyss, in the black soil, a pitch-black crack appeared, bottomless and leading to an unknown destination.

Mara Prosperous Grand Deity frowned: "Where are the people?"

He scanned the area but didn't find the five Yang Deity Grand Deities.

However, he could sense the lingering aura of the five Yang Deity Grand Deities.

He had just sent a message through the communication talisman.

His message was still at the end, indicating that no one had replied.

"They left so quickly, and there wasn't even a chance to reply to the message?"

Mara Prosperous Grand Deity's eyes were profound, and there was a hint of anger in them.

This indicated that the treasure that appeared was astonishing enough to startle them.

It had made these five people harbor thoughts of monopolizing it.

"I want to see what kind of treasure it is!" Mara Prosperous Grand Deity thought, and at that moment, his figure surged into the crack.

In just a few breaths, his expression changed slightly.

"So much purple aura!"

"And...!"

In that instant, he also caught a glimpse of the five figures.

At that moment, the five Yangshen Grandmasters were attacking a formation together.

They seemed to be exerting tremendous effort, and had been at it for quite some time.

The formation was on the verge of collapsing.

Mara Prosper Venerable, upon seeing this, felt a twinge of anger, but for the sake of his grand plan, he suppressed his temper.

"Should I lend a hand?"

As he spoke, he flew towards the formation.

Just as his words fell, the tottering formation was shattered by the five Grandmasters.

The five Yangshen Grandmasters' faces were tense, as if they had noticed Mara Prosper Venerable's arrival, and they looked uneasy.

What shocked Mara Prosper Venerable the most was that the five Grandmasters didn't respond at all, instead charging forward without hesitation.

One of them even pretended to accidentally drop a formation to block his path.

But... your acting skills are too crude, aren't they?

"A mere formation, and you think it can stop me?"

"What kind of supreme treasure is it that makes them go so crazy?"

Mara Prosper Venerable was puzzled, and his eyes gleamed with greed.

The five Yangshen Grandmasters were deferential towards him, but in the end, they plotted against him for the sake of the treasure.

Something is amiss."

"Break!"

As a Principle Yangshen, Mara Prosper Venerable's strength was extraordinary.

A simple formation was no obstacle for him.

However, it did delay him for a brief moment.

As the formation shattered, Mara Prosper Venerable's eyes narrowed sharply.

His mind trembled with excitement.

Because before him, a door appeared, grand and sacred beyond measure.

"This is... the Ultimate Reason Gate?"

Mara Prosper Venerable had a moment of doubt and shock.

At that moment, the five figures suddenly rushed into the gate, their faces filled with crazed excitement.

Initially hesitant, Mara Prosper Venerable's hesitation vanished, and he didn't think twice.

If he missed this chance, there would be no other.

Moreover, with five people already inside, how could he, as a Principle Yangshen, back down?

He thought and then rushed into the Ultimate Reason Gate.

With the Ultimate Reason Gate, his future was no longer limited by being the Mara Lord! But as he stepped into the gate, his eyes narrowed sharply.

He saw nearly twenty shadows of residual souls within the gate.

These residual souls looked at him with anticipation or as if watching a joke.

Upon seeing these residual souls, Mara Prosper Venerable's heart trembled.

Demon Eye... Demon Hall... Molizh... Demonran...

These residual souls were none other than the Mara Clan's Yangshen Grandmasters in the Demon Abyss!

Mara Prosper Venerable's mind buzzed like a thunderclap.

At that moment, he looked past the residual souls and saw a man in a crimson robe, sitting leisurely, with a faint smile.

"Welcome to the Netherworld."

...

A month passed quietly.

Qi Yuan wore a blood-red robe, and his aura was shrouded in mystery.

He lazily stretched his body.

"You think the Mara Lord is a fool, but I haven't even started fishing yet. I haven't even set up my trap, and he walks right into it."

Qi Yuan sent a message to Jingli, sharing the events that had transpired recently.

After dealing with Mara Prosper Venerable, Qi Yuan went to the Fifth Heaven to continue fishing.

With the advice of the residual souls, Qi Yuan's plan became even more foolproof.

He even employed the beauty trap.

But this beauty trap wasn't about choosing any stunning beauty; instead, it was about "Hey dummy, why are you still as foolish as you were in high school?"

In the 1619 version of the book, not a single mistake!

These residual souls knew the Yangshen Grandmasters below like the back of their hands, and they offered strategies, tailoring baits for each Yangshen below.

The funniest part was Qi Yuan preparing a trap for the Mara Grandmaster.

It must be said, the Mara Grandmaster's strength was indeed formidable.

As soon as Qi Yuan set up the trap, the Mara Grandmaster fell for it.

Qi Yuan felt a bit embarrassed.

But the Mara Grandmaster completely ignored Qi Yuan, not even thinking twice before rushing into the Ultimate Reason Gate.

This made Qi Yuan's act hard to maintain.

He then worked with Skyless Buddha, ruling over the Buddha Country, to suppress the Mara Clan.

Finally, after searching for the Mara Grandmaster's residual soul, they learned the truth.

It turned out that when the Mara Grandmaster was young, he had met a mysterious old Taoist.

The Taoist said that he had a connection with the Ultimate Reason Gate.

Back then, Qi Yuan didn't know what the Ultimate Reason Gate was.

Later, after becoming a Yangshen, he kept those words in mind.

Now, seeing the Ultimate Reason Gate, he couldn't think much and rushed in.

"So, the Mara Clan... is no more?" In the Moon Goddess Palace, Jingli's calm heart was no longer calm.

Every day, Qi Yuan sent new messages.

Now, the Mara Clan was... completely annihilated.

She felt like she was in a dream.

This surprise was no less than when Qi Yuan said he had swept away the Xuan Yuan Jin.

But in the Moon Goddess Palace, they knew nothing about what was happening on the other side of the Demon Abyss.

Jingli's expression changed slightly.

Especially with Qi Yuan's tone, it was as if he had casually squished an ant, relaxed and carefree, not at all like someone who had destroyed a colossal force like the Mara Clan.

It should be noted, the Mara Clan was among the top five powers in the Fifth Heaven.

In the entire Sixth Heaven, they ranked within the top thirty.

The annihilation of such a force was enough to shake the Sixth Heaven.

"It's over. From now on, Skyless Buddha will pretend to be the master of the Mara Clan."

Qi Yuan spoke calmly, his mind already plotting. He planned to infiltrate and impersonate the Mara Clan with his Divine Infants.

After all, even the Yangshen Venerable had become his pawn.

The true Mara Clan!

The original Mara Clan? Traitors, all of them!

"Hmm, after a while, I'll head to the Dark Demon Abyss," Qi Yuan said. "You know, I won't be fishing in the Dark Demon Abyss."

"Oh dear, that's not good. I have no grudge with the Dark Demon Abyss, and fishing there is not ideal."

Qi Yuan considered himself a kind person.

"No, the Dark Demon Abyss is filled with powerful Supreme Reason cultivators, second only to the Supreme Reason Council. You must be careful!" Jingli was deeply concerned for Qi Yuan.

Although the Dark Demon Abyss didn't possess the Supreme Reason like Moon Goddess Palace, it undoubtedly had a vast number of ordinary Supreme Reason cultivators.

"Hmm, if I'm not fishing, I'm quite benevolent, just like you."

"..." Jingli's pretty face turned slightly red.

"I need to go now. I'll organize these things properly. The Mara Clan has too many good things, and I don't have much time left."

"Bye!"

After ending the call with Jingli, Qi Yuan lay in the jade slip, gazing at the densely packed cultivation techniques, his eyes gleaming.

"All these treasures!"

There were too many treasures inside.

Especially the Divine Arts that Qi Yuan needed; he found around eight to nine thousand of them.

Below the Divine Arts were countless cultivation techniques.

Additionally, various Immortal Jade treasures were also innumerable.

"Sigh, if I had seen these when I was at the Refinement Qi Realm, how wonderful it would have been."

Looking at these treasures, Qi Yuan's heart was calm. Aside from the Divine Arts and the well at his home, nothing else could stir his emotions.

"These things... hmm..."

Qi Yuan pondered.

Suddenly, he recalled what Jiang Ruhua's father, Jiang Lingsu, had said.

"Our Jiang family is truly poor, sigh."

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan made up his mind.

...

At this time, in the Eastern Lands, people came and went in the Jiang family, a constant stream of visitors.

It had only been a few months since Qi Yuan's great tribulation, and the atmosphere of the great tribulation's end in the Canglan Realm had not yet dispersed.

In front of the Jiang family's gate, guests gathered like clouds.

Occasionally, Yin God Venerables would visit and offer their congratulations and gifts.

There were various reasons for these visits.

Some claimed that the Jiang family's dog had given birth, while others said that a young genius of the Jiang family had killed a hen.

Excuses varied, but the gifts kept coming.

The Jiang family's reputation was now renowned.

Even Yin God forces dared not offend the Jiang family.

At this moment, Jiang Qian walked through the Jiang family's courtyard, carrying gifts.

Her heart still carried a sense of awe.

She hadn't expected that the Qi Yuan who had helped her in Yuntian City, slaying the arrogant Feng family member, was actually... such a powerful being.

Recalling that moment, she had advised Qi Yuan to leave quickly to avoid Feng family retaliation. Now, she couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, a voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Uncle, isn't the Jiang family a bit poor?"

"Perfect timing! I just eliminated a force in the Immortal Realm and made some money. I'll support you for a while."

Hearing this voice, Jiang Qian's face showed reverence and wild joy.

"Paying respects... Blood Robe Sword God!"

The people in the city, sensing something, all lowered their heads, their faces filled with deep reverence.

"Paying respects to Senior Blood Robe Sword God!"

Jiang Ruhua's face at this moment was filled with unparalleled pride.

If not for the crowd, he would have danced right there.

However, he maintained a modest demeanor, though politeness was still necessary: "Thank you, Senior, for your concern!"

After all, his daughter hadn't married yet, so he had to show respect to the Blood Robe Sword God.

Naturally, the Jiang family members around him, seeing Jiang Ruhua's behavior, were speechless.

This guy, always talking at home about finding a worthy son-in-law, boasting about his keen eye for talent, and how he had taught the Blood Robe Sword God to pursue his daughter.

"With these Immortal Jade treasures... we won't be poor anymore, right?"

Qi Yuan waved his hand casually.

A pitch-black hole tore open in the sky.

There were no free lunches in heaven.

But falling... Immortal Jade treasures!

Not only Immortal Jade, but countless treasures that could drive even a Yin God mad.

The dazzling treasures, surrounded by immortal aura, were a kaleidoscope of colors, dazzling to the eye.

The cultivators in the city, gazing at the treasures in the sky, revealed deep envy.

Jiang Ruhua's face lit up with joy: "Senior, you must have eliminated a force ten times stronger than the Dao Seeking Palace, right?"

Not far away, the passing Dao Seeking Palace Master's face changed slightly.

Don't mention it.

Moreover, any one of these treasures here would likely be unaffordable for the Dao Seeking Palace.

"Oh, you're right." Qi Yuan thought for a moment and replied without hesitation.

Being a hundred times stronger was still more than ten times stronger.

Just like having a monthly income of three thousand was still less than twenty thousand, right?

PS: The first part after the Upper Realm is mainly to meet Jingli. The Mara Clan is convenient, so after meeting Jingli, writing about the Mara Clan feels a bit dull, like having a cigarette after the fact.

Apologies to everyone, I'll send some monthly pass red envelopes as compensation!

(Don't leak it, it seems someone posted it in another group and a robot grabbed it.)



500 yuan! (There's a top-up event going on.)



Don't ask why it's not on QQ Reading, cough cough, it can't be posted there!
