Chapter 552: The Supreme Delicacy of White Moonlight

Chapter 552: The Supreme Delicacy of White Moonlight

"He seems to be in Cloud Blood City, so we can pay him a visit." The Academy Master sighed lightly.

Having written the Outline of Realm History, he had encountered all sorts of people, from ordinary mortals to heroes.

He composed songs of mortals and wrote biographies of heroes.

In his eyes, those who dared to draw their blades against the Devious God of Dark Pupils in Gold Quail Realm were true heroes.

The girl stood behind him, her eyes also filled with anticipation.

...

Three thousand miles away, Qi Huang stood high in the sky.

His entire body was covered in white beard, with curved ram-like horns, and an extraordinary aura.

Beside him, the tall Devious God of Dark Pupils was filled with coldness, gazing at his own corpse a thousand miles away, his eyes deep and profound.

"Hehe, Dark Pupils, you're a bit too useless. To be slain by a human and have your corpse stand upright to scare us!" The Two-Headed Snake Devious God's eyes held a mocking expression.

The other Devious Gods' faces were solemn, their strengths similar to that of Dark Pupils.

The fact that Dark Pupils was easily slain meant that the white-haired man could also kill them.

"If it weren't for Qi Huang bringing you back to life, you would have stood in Cloud Blood City for a lifetime, becoming a famous...attraction." The Two-Headed Snake Devious God spoke.

When mentioning Qi Huang, the Two-Headed Snake Devious God showed respect and reverence.

Unlike them, Qi Huang was a second-generation Devious God, originating from Dark Heaven Black Circle.

"For Dark Pupils to be slain by a human is a disgrace to us Devious Gods!

I wish to go and slay that human. Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

The Two-Headed Snake Devious God spoke, wanting to show off in front of Qi Huang.

His strength was indeed formidable, ranking among the top ten in Gold Quail Realm, possessing the battle prowess of a Great Venerable.

Dark Pupils was humiliated, but dared not refute, as the Two-Headed Snake's strength was indeed formidable.

"If the Snake God goes, won't it be an easy capture?"

"To dare to cause trouble in Gold Quail Realm is to seek death!"

The Devious Gods present spoke with indifferent expressions, some even fawning over the Two-Headed Snake Devious God.

As long as the Two-Headed Snake Devious God went, even if Qi Yuan was formidable, he would likely not be a match.

The Two-Headed Snake Devious God enjoyed the flattery and turned to Qi Huang, awaiting his nod to go to Cloud Blood City and slay Qi Yuan.

At this moment, Qi Huang's lips curved into a smile, "Interesting, so this is the Fate-Blessed, favored by fate?"

Qi Huang's words were enigmatic, and the surrounding Devious Gods were somewhat puzzled, unsure of his intention.

Qi Huang continued, "If I agree to let you go, don't even think about it. Your fate will be no different from Dark Pupils.

Then, I estimate that the Black Winged Devious God, seeking glory, will go and get slain again!"

Qi Huang spoke lazily, a relaxed smile on his face.

The Fate-Blessed, favored by fate.

Even though Gold Quail Realm was occupied by Devious Gods, the world still belonged to the Divine Wood Universe, and the rules would naturally favor the Fate-Blessed.

Correspondingly, the enemies of the Fate-Blessed would also encounter inexplicable situations or lose their sanity.

The Two-Headed Snake Devious God's face twitched, and he was somewhat unconvinced, "Although he slew Dark Pupils, he's still not at the Great Venerable realm. I can easily slay him!"

Qi Huang laughed, "Who says he's just a Venerable?

The rest of the Devious Gods' expressions turned solemn.

If it was a Great Venerable, the Two-Headed Snake Devious God might indeed fail.

"He's not just a Great Venerable, but an extraordinary one." Qi Huang's eyes flashed with greed, "He's a Great Venerable...of a withered myth."

"What...a myth?"

"He's actually a myth!"

The Devious Gods present were shocked upon hearing this.

A myth and an ordinary Yin Deity were fundamentally different.

It could be said that if a myth took action, all ninety-nine Devious Gods in Gold Quail Realm would perish.

Some of these Devious Gods even wanted to leave immediately.

"Three thousand years ago, one of my uncles attempted to ascend to the Yang Emperor realm and encountered this person in the outer realm. A collision occurred between them."

Qi Huang continued, "Naturally, my uncle was defeated. After returning, he meditated for a thousand years and stepped into the Yang Emperor realm."

Hearing Qi Huang speak of his uncle, the Devious Gods present all showed reverence.

Qi Huang had many uncles.

Rumor had it...there was even an uncle at the second layer of the Yang Emperor, and it was said that he wasn't even the strongest.

Qi Huang often mentioned his uncles, and each one of them instilled reverence in these Devious Gods.

"He's a withered myth, probably much stronger than the Five Steps Ascend Heaven, but weaker than a true myth." Qi Huang spoke.

If not for his uncle, he wouldn't have recognized Qi Yuan.

"Even so, if we join forces, even if we capture him, we'll suffer heavy casualties. We'll have to ask Qi Huang to take action, seek aid from Dark Heaven Black Circle, and only a myth-level expert can slay this brute!" The Two-Headed Snake Devious God spoke, a sense of fear lingering in his heart.

If he went, he would indeed face death.

Qi Huang laughed, "See, this is the Fate-Blessed, favored by fate. If not for my formidable uncles, perhaps Gold Quail Realm would have suffered today.

Fate may affect you, but it won't affect me."

Qi Huang was full of confidence, greed flashing in his eyes, "Why bother seeking aid from myth-level experts? We're enough to slay him!"

As a Great Venerable of the Five Steps Ascend Heaven, Qi Huang was very interested in Qi Yuan's body.

The cultivation methods of Dark Heaven Black Circle were peculiar. If they obtained the body of a powerful cultivator, they could greatly shorten their cultivation time.

If Qi Yuan were to slay and obtain the corpse of Qi Yuan, he would take a giant leap and reach the pinnacle of the Five Steps Ascend Heaven, the seventh step.

This would save him decades of arduous cultivation.

Therefore, he didn't want to involve Withered Myth.

With Withered Myth's intervention, obtaining Qi Yuan's corpse would be out of the question.

Qi Huang decided to take matters into his own hands.

"We..." Black Wing's expression turned troubled, "Even if he's Withered Myth, it would be difficult for us to defeat him, and even if we did, it would come at a great cost!"

He was a bit afraid.

Qi Huang didn't seem concerned, "My uncle gave me Devious Origin, why fear death? Even if I die, we will revive like Dark Pupil."

He held a high-grade Devious Origin in his hands.

The influx of powerful beings from Black Heaven Black Abyss was due to the Devious Origin.

The Yang Emperor could be revived with a small expenditure of Devious Origin, even after perishing in battle.

Dark Pupil had also been revived by Qi Huang.

"If that's the case, we fear no death, and together, we can defeat him!"

"Yes, even if he's powerful, at worst, we'll self-detonate and exhaust him to death!"

"What if... he's not Withered Myth?"

Qi Huang remained calm, "Rest assured, I have plenty of Devious Origin."

It wasn't just a little, it was an abundance.

It was enough to support the revival of a Sovereign-level Yang Emperor.

After all, he had many uncles.

Moreover, he was the only heir among the Devious Gods.

The other Devious Gods breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

With ample Devious Origin, the situation wasn't dire.

Even if their opponent was a perfected Myth, they could self-detonate a few times, and the opponent would likely perish.

Qi Huang was confident. Even if their opponent had a one-in-a-million chance of a small universe burst, blessed by fate, and broke through to the Ancestor Deity realm, without the blessing of the Divine Wood, he was still a Myth. They would continue to self-detonate and fight.

"It's just... what if he tries to escape, how can we stop him?" Black Wing asked.

With Devious Origin as their safety net, they could slay Qi Yuan, but if Qi Yuan fled, it would be difficult to stop him.

"Rest assured, since I've chosen to act, I naturally have a way to prevent his escape." Black Wing exuded confidence.

He also possessed a treasure that formed its own realm.

At that moment, they would enter the treasure, suck Qi Yuan in, and Qi Yuan would have no chance of escape.

Of course, they couldn't leave until Qi Yuan was slain.

These were minor details.

...

"Finally, two days of peace."

Qi Yuan stretched lazily.

His Mortal Transformation progress had increased by 1%.

These past few days, he had lived leisurely.

The Rebel Army seemed to have guessed that Qi Yuan was the one who killed Dark Pupil, but they dared not disturb him.

As for Wu Lian, she remained in the neighboring room, not leaving.

"Master, it's strange that the Blood Tiger Gang hasn't come these past few days?" Zhao Yan asked, gazing at the sunbathing Qi Yuan.

These days, he had been on edge, fearing the Blood Tiger Gang's arrival, and he hadn't even stepped out of the courtyard.

Beside him, Hong Mei's face lit up with a bright smile, "Perhaps my senior brother intervened."

Her senior brother was nearby, and she had told him about the Blood Tiger Gang's matter. With his character, he might help her deal with the gang.

"Huh?" Zhao Yan's expression turned grateful upon hearing this.

His fondness for Hong Mei grew.

"Master, how about we move somewhere else?" Zhao Yan tentatively suggested.

He had mentioned joining the Academy to his master more than once.

His master was stubborn and refused to go.

"Move if you want!" Qi Yuan said, looking at Zhao Yan.

In the 169th chapter of the novel, he was role-playing as Qi Yuan, fully immersed in the character.

As expected, after killing those who disturbed his Mortal Transformation, his progress accelerated significantly.

Hong Mei remained silent.

She didn't persuade him further, as she couldn't guarantee Qi Yuan's entry into the Academy.

Joining the Academy was extremely difficult, requiring tests of knowledge, temperament, and talent.

Zhao Yan's expression turned helpless.

Just then, a rhythmic knocking sound echoed.

Zhao Yan's heart tightened.

The Blood Tiger Gang?

Hong Mei's face also showed surprise.

At that moment, an aged yet scholarly voice spoke.

"May this old man have the honor of meeting the master of this courtyard?"

The voice was exceptionally scholarly, and just listening to it made Zhao Yan feel as if he were bathing in a sea of books.

Hong Mei's body stiffened, her face showing disbelief.

Because this voice... was too familiar.

How... did he come here?

"No need." Qi Yuan, lying on the chair, refused.

See him? He's in the middle of his Mortal Transformation!

Hong Mei was stunned and quickly spoke, "Senior, outside is... the Academy Master!"

Zhao Yan was also stunned upon hearing this.

For a figure as important as the Academy Master to visit his master was surprising.

"Special NPC?" Qi Yuan paused, "Does he know a lot of information?"

"In the Gold Quijin Realm, there's no one more knowledgeable than him!" Hong Mei said confidently.

"I'll see him!" Qi Yuan changed his mind.

Besides White Moonlight, he loved informative NPCs the most.

Understanding the world's background and plot would make pushing through the game easier.

(End)

Zhao Yan had yet to make a move when Hong Mei hurriedly walked forward and opened the courtyard gate.

Upon seeing the hunched-back old man, Hong Mei's face revealed a deep sense of reverence.

The old man's hair and beard were all white, and his hunched back made him appear a mere 1.6 meters tall, no different from an ordinary elderly man.

However, his long robe was neatly worn, his white hair was well-groomed, and he had an air of scholarly refinement.

Hong Mei's heart raced with excitement.

It was indeed the Academy Master!

Qi Yuan glanced at the hunched-back old man, his face showing surprise.

The information he received through his eyes indicated that this old man was no ordinary NPC.

He was quite extraordinary.

One might even say... he was no longer a living being.

"Old sir, are you writing a book?" Qi Yuan asked.

He recalled Immortal Spirit Handsome, who had mentioned helping an old gentleman gather some information.

Could this be him?

The Academy Master nodded, "Does sir know me?"

Hong Mei, witnessing this, was puzzled. Why was the Academy Master showing such a demeanor towards Qi Yuan?

And why did he address him as 'sir'?

After all, most people would call him 'old sir' or 'young sir'.

The term 'sir' was quite rare.

Could it be that Qi Yuan had a special identity?

"I've heard a little. I'd like to ask you a few questions," Qi Yuan said.

The Academy Master smiled, "Before sir asks his questions, may I ask sir a few questions first?"

"Sure," Qi Yuan replied.

Hong Mei stood attentively, eavesdropping carefully.

"Sir, you live in a humble abode, yet you killed the Trickster God. Why such a sudden move?" The Academy Master looked at Qi Yuan with curiosity.

Hong Mei and Zhao Yan were stunned, as if they had just witnessed a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

The Trickster God was killed?

By Qi Yuan!

"Because... I'm undergoing Mortal Transformation," Qi Yuan answered honestly. "I wanted a peaceful transformation, but people kept disturbing me daily, making me annoyed and restless. I had no choice but to kill the strongest Trickster God in Cloud Blood City, hoping for some peace."

Zhao Yan: "???"

Hong Mei: "???"

Killing a Trickster God to avoid disturbances?

Even the Academy Master was surprised by this answer.

"Interesting. But has sir considered that Trickster Gods are endless? This is a war zone, and after you kill one, another might arrive... I'm afraid sir won't enjoy a moment's peace."

"Since they're here, I'll kill them all. I doubt anyone will disturb me again," Qi Yuan replied casually.

This was his plan—simple yet brutal, but also meticulous and perfect.

The Academy Master was momentarily stunned, then quickly said, "Trickster Gods are endless. Even if sir kills all the Trickster Gods in the Guijin Realm, there might be even more powerful Trickster Gods. Sir is alone here, and it's hard to support yourself."

"Do I need help? I clearly have the advantage!" Qi Yuan was surprised.

He wasn't afraid of strong opponents; he was afraid of weak ones.

The Academy Master was stunned again, his curiosity growing: "Sir is quite interesting."

"You should have asked all your questions by now. Now it's my turn to ask you," Qi Yuan said, looking at the Academy Master. "First, do you know what's in the Divine Wood Abyss?"

The Academy Master furrowed his brows, not expecting this question.

"I've never been inside, but I've heard some Era Domain Lords say it's empty, with nothing inside," the Academy Master replied.

After hearing this answer, Qi Yuan fell silent for a moment before asking, "Second, what about Black Heaven? Are they strong?"

This was also a concern for Qi Yuan.

After all, he was a shareholder in this game, and he couldn't let others take over.

The Academy Master became even more silent, surprised by Qi Yuan's question.

"Regarding Black Heaven, no one in this world probably knows their origins.

Once, the Divine Wood Universe joined forces with a Void Wanderer to ask the Void World Lord about Black Heaven.

The Void World Lord told the truth, but the Void Wanderer couldn't remember any information about Black Heaven."

Qi Yuan contemplated.

This Black Heaven... indeed had some skills.

"Third, are Black Heaven's Dark Abyss strong? Do they have a Domain Lord?"

The Academy Master was puzzled. Qi Yuan was different from what he had imagined, but he still answered honestly.

"They only have a Rule Domain Lord, and the number is unknown," the Academy Master shared what he knew with Qi Yuan. "Black Heaven's Dark Abyss is incredibly strong, to the point of despair. Their strength is... endless.

As long as Black Heaven exists, even if countless Dark Abyss beings die, they can be resurrected."

Mentioning this, a hint of bitterness appeared on the Academy Master's aged face.

If they resurrected after being killed and were even stronger than before, how could one fight them?

Countless strong beings from the Divine Wood Universe had died, yet they had never truly eliminated a single Dark Abyss Yang Emperor!

"They resurrect after death?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.

This meant they were an endless supply of...

This wasn't a formidable enemy!

This was... the ultimate White Moonlight!

An endless supply of White Moonlight that kept respawning!
