Chapter 512: Divine Sage's Third Level, Void World Lord

Chapter 512: Divine Sage's Third Level, Void World Lord

In the Immortal Cloud Temple, Hengshan Grandmaster wore a boar mask, concealing his features from view.

He stood silently, accompanied by several cloaked men.

"This rain is so annoying," spoke a thin man, resembling a monkey, with a sleeve arrow hidden in his sleeve.

He was a master of hidden weapons, carrying numerous concealed weapons on his person.

"Because of the Water Lord, Ye Mountain Lake will likely experience continuous rain for some time.

That Shen Lingxuan... has been following closely by the Grandmaster of Heavenly Sect, making her difficult to capture." Hengshan Grandmaster's voice was hoarse as he spoke.

"Then let's capture her useless husband first," suggested the man with the sleeve sword.

Shen Lingxuan was hard to catch, but Qi Yuan, the son-in-law without cultivation, was an easy target in their eyes.

"This will alert our target and ruin our plan," Hengshan Grandmaster said, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Why hadn't Feng Tie arrived yet?

Something must have delayed him.

As the sound of the rain pattered in his ears, an inexplicable sense of irritability arose within him.

Just then, a card in his pocket suddenly began to glow.

Hengshan Grandmaster's expression changed abruptly.

"This is bad!"

The mysterious card was obtained from exploring an ancient site.

This card had a secret function; his illusionary technique was learned from it.

Additionally, the card also had a warning feature.

It was this card that saved him when he, as the top flower thief in Ink Mountain Country, even stealing the princess, was hunted by a Celestial Rank Armament Master and still managed to survive.

But now, the light on the card was brighter than ever, even surpassing the last time a Celestial Rank Armament Master pursued him.

How could Hengshan Grandmaster not be anxious?

He shot up like a cannonball, attempting to escape the Immortal Cloud Pavilion.

The other men around him were left dumbfounded, having no idea what was happening.

Suddenly, a bone-chilling sword intent descended upon them.

The three men widened their eyes, and as the rain paused, a crystal-clear water sword pierced through, aiming directly at them.

It was an incredibly fast strike, as swift and fierce as thunder, leaving them no time to react.

The sword energy crisscrossed, slicing through their necks.

Without hesitation, the water sword turned towards Hengshan Grandmaster.

Although Hengshan Grandmaster fled swiftly, he couldn't compare to the speed of the water sword.

Even with the card's warning, he couldn't escape.

The water sword pierced his throat, spraying blood, and his face showed disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

His body fell, his eyes filled with deep confusion and regret.

Having obtained the card's inheritance, he had a bright future ahead, not limited to Ink Mountain Country, yet he died mysteriously.

Even in his final moments, he didn't know whom he had offended or who killed him.

On the other side, Shen Lingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"This sword..."

While this sword's might was naturally not as powerful as her peak in her previous life, it was still remarkable.

After all, in her past life, she had once severed an entire army with a single strike, founding the Heavenly Sect as its first leader.

But the level of refinement far surpassed her previous self.

She looked at Qi Yuan, ripples forming in her heart: "A single sword strike to slay four Earth Rank Armament Masters... Who are you?"

She was intrigued by Qi Yuan's identity, and a hint of wariness lurked in her heart.

After all, if they coveted her Yin Essence Body, she would find it challenging to deal with them.

Qi Yuan smiled, "If you want me to be your steed, I..."

Before he could finish, Qi Yuan's smile froze.

Because Shen Lingxuan's figure had disappeared.

She... had run away.

Qi Yuan was speechless, gazing at Shen Lingxuan's slender silhouette vanishing into the rain, he muttered, "Do I really look like a villain?"

"Ah, mortals encountering deities naturally feel fear," Chen Kangbao sighed.

"I'm at least her husband. It's not like I want to ride her. It's not fun."

"She's... Shen Lingxuan?" Chen Kangbao was taken aback.

Apparently, he hadn't recognized Shen Lingxuan.

"Let's go do something good and help them take care of their legacy."

Stepping through the mud, Qi Yuan entered the Immortal Cloud Temple.

The Earth Rank Armament Masters carried silver bills, and Qi Yuan found only about 160,000 taels after searching them.

This left him slightly disappointed, feeling like a thief who had looked after a "friend's" legacy, only to find an average-looking, even slightly ugly, widow.

Qi Yuan turned his attention to Hengshan Grandmaster's corpse.

"I hope you give me a surprise," he thought.

He opened Hengshan Grandmaster's storage artifact, and immediately, a strong scent of rouge filled the air. Inside, he saw it filled with women's intimate garments, colorful and varied.

From the storage artifact, he found 620,000 taels.

His eyes lit up with delight.

It seemed he had become a millionaire.

At that moment, his gaze was drawn to a card tucked within the sleeve of Hengshan Grandmaster.

"This material doesn't fit the game at all."

The card was predominantly gray with various patterns, and its material resembled plastic.

[Illusion Card, from Void Paradise, with functions such as recording, alerting, inheritance... Password is... There are 375 improvement plans.]



Qi Yuan's eyes instantly perceived hidden information.

"Void Paradise, what is this?" Qi Yuan had never heard of this name before.

"I don't know either, old servant," Chen Kangbao shook his head.

"Since this card has a recording function, perhaps I can access it with the password and obtain useful information."

Qi Yuan picked up the card and activated the Illusion Card according to the information he had received.

Although Hengshan Grandmaster had obtained this card many years ago and had been studying it, his understanding of the Illusion Card was only superficial, and he had gained some illusionary inheritance.

As for Qi Yuan, his eyes could see hidden information, allowing him to directly access the core of the Illusion Card.

In an instant, numerous pieces of information appeared before Qi Yuan's eyes.

"Zhao Bailong, a Void Traveler?"

The owner of this card was named Zhao Bailong, according to the recorded information.

He was a life form from another universe, chosen by Void Paradise to become a Void Traveler.

This information surprised Qi Yuan, as Void Paradise seemed similar to the Lord God's Space he was familiar with.

That universe was called Zhou's Universe.

Zhou's Universe had given birth to many powerful beings.

Among them, the owner of Void Paradise, the Void Lord, was the strongest in Zhou's Universe.

"The owner of Void Paradise is named Void Lord, a Divine Sage at the Third Level, a Heaven Opening Realm cultivator?"

The information recorded within indicated that the Divine Sage Third Level consisted of three stages: Rule Realm, Universe Realm, and Heaven Opening Realm.

In the Rule Realm, a Divine Sage at the Second Level would refine the Great Supreme Principle into the rules of the universe, condensing it into a path, thereby entering the Third Level, the Rule Realm.

The more rules condensed, the stronger their power and the cultivator's strength.

The Universe Realm involved recognizing all life forms, understanding the myriad of things, and mastering at least nine universal rules.

As for the Heaven Opening Realm, it was the legendary realm of creating heaven and earth.

A Divine Sage at the Heaven Opening Realm could create worlds and life forms.

"This Heaven Opening Realm... seems quite godly. This Void Lord is indeed formidable."

At present, Qi Yuan's combat strength was comparable to the Great Supreme Principle, but he couldn't create heaven and earth.

Swallowing a star, however, was no issue.

The Void Lord was the strongest in Zhou's Universe. He established Void Paradise to recruit Void Travelers, who constantly trained within Zhou's Universe and discovered the "Universe Prototype" where Qingshan Realm existed.

According to the records of the Illusion Card's owner, the Void Lord had discovered this "Universe Prototype" over a hundred million years ago.

The Void Lord had been trying to incorporate this universe prototype into his territory but had failed due to unforeseen circumstances.

Nevertheless, he continued to dispatch Void Travelers into the universe prototype to carry out tasks and enhance his karmic connection with it.

It seemed that once the karmic connection deepened, he could incorporate this universe prototype into his territory.

In a 1619 version of the book, it was written:

"Doesn't this mean that by holding this card, I've also established a karmic connection with the Void Lord?" Qi Yuan said calmly.

The Void Lord was the strongest in his universe, and the owner of the Illusion Card, a mere Void Traveler, had no qualification to meet such a grand figure.

"As I suspected, my guess is correct. In this world, I'm an Earth Rank Armament Master, but in Zhou's Universe, I'd be at the Divine Fetus Realm."

Although the Earth Rank Armament Masters in this world appeared to have destructive power inferior to even Foundation Establishment, that was because they were in this universe prototype.

If they went to Zhou's Universe, they might attain the power of the Fourth Realm, the Divine Fetus Realm.

A Divine Fetus Realm Void Traveler from Zhou's Universe would only possess Earth Rank Armament Master strength upon arriving here.

This was normal and understandable. After all, if he went to Zhou's Universe and discovered that the stars there were smaller than him, it wouldn't be surprising.

"According to the information on the card, there are two reasons why the Void Lord hasn't absorbed this universe prototype. One is that the karmic connection is too shallow, lacking the recognition of heavenly fate, and the other is fear of... other terrifyingly powerful beings?"

This wasn't a hidden secret; almost all Void Travelers knew that the Void Lord intended to absorb this universe prototype to create his own path to immortality.

"This universe prototype is indeed a coveted treasure. I'm afraid not only the Void Lord has his eyes on it."

"I'm still too weak."

"I'm just a weak and helpless Kitchen Knife. I should focus on the game for now; the Void Lord is far beyond my reach."

However, this card not only revealed some game background to Qi Yuan but also provided him with a clearer understanding of the path to the Divine Sage Third Level.

Refining the Great Supreme Principle into universal rules was the next step in his cultivation.

The more rules one comprehends and gathers, the stronger they become. Eventually, by mastering an infinite array of rules, one can create life and open up new worlds.

It is said that by understanding the path of time and space, one might even travel through the river of time and resurrect fallen lives from this universe.

Of course, there are limitations.

"Old man, let's go find a kitchen lady quickly. Today, I'm going to forge a diligent and hardworking kitchen knife to swiftly ascend to godhood!"

As for riding with Shen Lingxuan, he decided to put it off for now.

"Alright!" Chen Kangbao hurriedly replied.

...

In the bustling marketplace.

Chen Kangbao stood tall and shouted with vigor.

"The ultimate divine kitchen knife, only 999 taels, and you can take it home.

It can chop vegetables and cut firewood. Come and take a look. You won't be cheated, and you won't be fooled."

"Hey, old man, a kitchen knife for 999 taels? You won't even be cheated?"

"That's right. Where in this world can you find such an expensive kitchen knife, priced the same as the magical tools of Armament Masters?"

"You know nothing. This is a divine blade that can create heavenly delicacies!" Chen Kangbao argued, spitting as he spoke.

"Scammer!"

However, he was met with mostly disdain and suspicious gazes.

After all, who would sell an ordinary kitchen knife for a thousand taels of silver?

"Sigh, young master, while waiting for a fated person, if it doesn't work out, as your advisor, I must use my wisdom to help you find that fated person." Chen Kangbao thought to himself.

For the kitchen knife's fated owner, Chen Kangbao had a specific idea in mind. It had to be a kitchen lady, not a kitchen father.

Those who would spend 999 taels of silver on it must be wealthy and a little "foolish."

"Ideally, she would be a young lady from a rich family who sneaked out to play, inexperienced in the ways of the world."

"But why would a rich young lady know how to cook?"

"I need to package it for the young master."

Chen Kangbao's thoughts raced, and he didn't even bother to eat the buns.

He surveyed the young women around, searching for his target.

With his years of experience living in the Madhouse, he had a keen eye for people.

After about two hours, his eyes lit up.

"This girl looks so naive!"

"If she can't cook, no problem, I'll teach her how to make buns!"

"In this world, no one knows buns better than me!"

He quickly spat into his palm and wiped his hair, straightening and shining it. Then, he picked up the kitchen knife from the stall and immediately followed her.

At the same time, Jiang Yunxi's attention was drawn to the various items on the street, her big eyes blinking adorably.

Holding a sugary haw in one hand and a little flower drum in the other, she looked like a child.

Just then, an aged figure appeared before her.

"Young lady, I wander the four corners of the world, slaying demonic spirits. As I passed by here, I saw a purple aura rising in the east, indicating I've encountered a noble person."

Jiang Yunxi looked at Chen Kangbao with a hint of wariness in her beautiful eyes. "Old man, what do you intend to do?"

She was inexperienced, but not naive.

"I have a kitchen knife here, a truly extraordinary one.

It needs a fated owner, and I believe it's fated to be yours." Chen Kangbao said.

"A kitchen knife?" Jiang Yunxi examined the knife with a strange look. "If it's fated, then give it to me."

Chen Kangbao, seeing this, felt there was potential.

"With your heroic spirit, wielding this knife, you'll create the world's most exquisite dishes and slay countless demonic spirits."

He praised her lavishly.

"I don't like cooking, but I do like slaying demonic spirits. I'll take the knife."

"Just 999 taels," Chen Kangbao said, handing the knife to Jiang Yunxi and extending his hand for the silver.

Jiang Yunxi was taken aback, then became angry. "Do you take me for a fool?

Just now, another old man said I was the reincarnation of a savior and wanted to sell me a secret manual for only ten taels. Why are you asking for 1,000 taels?"

Jiang Yunxi had encountered such situations several times already.

She felt a little wronged. Did her face say 'easily deceived'? Why were all these scammers targeting her?

"Don't follow me. If you do, I'll have you arrested and sent to the government office." Jiang Yunxi was irritated and a little agitated.

Seeing this, Chen Kangbao felt a bit disappointed.

He couldn't do it anymore; even fools weren't falling for his tricks.

Just then, Qi Yuan's voice suddenly rang in his ear, and Chen Kangbao's face regained its confident expression.

"Sigh, Jiang Yunxi, if you miss out on this knife, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." Chen Kangbao resumed his con artist persona.

Jiang Yunxi's face paled slightly. "How do you know my name?"

"Not only do I know your name, but I also know that when you were six years old, you still wet the bed. The bracelet on your wrist is a Mystic Rank magical tool, a birthday gift from your mother when she was six, given to prevent you from wetting the bed."

Jiang Yunxi's face turned red. "How... How do you know that?"

Only those close to her would know such an embarrassing childhood story. How did this old man know?

"Because I'm a genuine immortal!"
