The barrier around Yun Wuji flickered for a moment before stopping, and the Golden Crow failed to bypass it and destroy his clothes.
"Hmph, you have a good defense," the golden crow snorted.
Yun Wuji ignored the golden crow and took a robe from his storage. He walked over to Huan Caiyi and draped it over her.
"Why?" Huan Caiyi raised her head and asked, "Am I really that repulsive to you?"
"Of course not. But as I said, you're just not my type. Even though you're probably ten times my age, you look like a child, I can't muster any sexual desire when I look at you," Yun Wuji said gently. He noticed that, although she was keeping her composure, she was on the verge of tears. "You don't have to do this. Why are you treating yourself so cheaply? You'll get your revenge very soon. Besides, even if you manage to inherit the Golden Crow bloodline, your strength won't rise immediately."
"I know! But even then, if I don't inherit the Golden Crow legacy, my clan's bloodline will end with me!" Huan Caiyi said.
She had a strong and intelligent mindset, so how could she not understand this? Even so, she still needed to inherit the legacy to raise her strength and produce offspring with a pure bloodline in the future to pass down the family's bloodline.
Why did half of the guardian families side with Duke Huai Palace? It's because they lost faith in the royal family! The only one left was a weak woman, and they saw that the family's bloodline had been severed.
"Sigh, since I already helped, I'll help you until the end," Yun Wuji sighed and said.
"So... are you going to do it with me?" Huan Caiyi raised her head, looking at him with hope in her eyes. Never in her life did she think she'd be so desperate, so eager, to offer her body to someone like this.
"No," Yun Wuji shook his head, and the light in Huan Caiyi's eyes dimmed. But then he added, "I have a better way, one that will not only let you inherit the Golden Crow's bloodline but also make you incredibly strong."
"Really?!" Huan Caiyi's spirit lifted immediately, hope sparking once more.
Yun Wuji raised his hand, and from his index finger, a single silver drop of blood with a golden hue seeped out. "This is a drop of Dragon God's blood," he said. "It's far more valuable than the Golden Crow or Phoenix blood. Normal inheritors only receive one drop of dragon blood."
"Are you seriously going to give her your Dragon God's blood? Ridiculous! You're sacrificing your future potential!" The Golden Crow suddenly exclaimed, her tone incredulous.
"..." Huan Caiyi looked at the drop of blood, then at Yun Wuji. She had always thought he was someone with ulterior motives, helping them only to gain something in return. But after hearing the Golden Crow's words, she started to think that maybe, just maybe, he was genuinely helping her with no strings attached.
"I also have a technique that works well with the dragon blood. As long as you cultivate it, you'll be able to bear the power of the Golden Crow's flame easily," Yun Wuji said softly, ignoring the Golden Crow.
He thought to himself with a smirk, 'I don't want to bang you when you're flat, but I wouldn't mind if you became thicker. Hehe.'
"This drop is precious. Why are you giving it to me? What is your goal?" Huan Caiyi asked, not showing any joy on her face. She voiced the question that had been on her mind for a long time.
"I know what you're worried about. You think I have some sinister plan up my sleeve, but honestly, I'm just helping my disciple's family take revenge, and by extension, I'm helping you too," Yun Wuji explained patiently. He then waved his hand, and a green pearl appeared. "I have the ability to obliterate anyone on this planet; I don't need any plots or schemes."
"The Sky Poison Pearl!" The golden crow's voice was filled with shock. "Not only did you master the light profound energy, but you also possess one of the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures!"
'Why is this spirit acting like a commentator?' Yun Wuji thought.
"This is the Sky Poison Pearl. It's one of the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures, like the Samsara Mirror that the Yun Clan possesses. It can unleash a deadly poison capable of killing anyone on this planet," Yun Wuji explained as he put the pearl away.
"Hey, boy, stop ignoring me!" The golden crow scowled. She was the great golden crow, yet this little boy was treating her like air!
Huan Caiyi tried to unsee the golden crow and bowed to Yun Wuji, "I am sorry for misunderstanding your kind intention, please forgive me."
Looking at him, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. Many times, when she looked at the state of affairs on the continent, she would feel helpless and even hopeless. There was no one to lean on; everyone around her had their own selfish motives.
But this man...
This man is only helping her out of goodwill; he doesn't want anything in return...
Yun Wuji smiled warmly and lifted her up. "You've been surrounded by traitors and jackals vying for your throne. It's only natural for you to be overly suspicious."
This was also why he hadn't taken the initiative to meet her when he passed by the Illusory Demon Realm for the first time. He knew she wouldn't believe him and would probably attack him as well.
"Alright, close your eyes and focus. I'll help you refine this drop of blood," Yun Wuji said.
Huan Caiyi nodded and sat cross-legged, her eyes closed. Yun Wuji tapped her forehead with his index finger, and the blood entered her body. He did the same as he had with Gong Yuxian and Murong Qianxue.
"Alright, what do you want to know?" After helping her, Yun Wuji turned around and spoke to the golden crow.
He was quite annoyed by this spirit. This Golden Crow's soul's temperament was completely unlike the Phoenix's soul and the Dragon God's souls which commanded respect but was still amiable. Not only was she violent, but she frequently sealed off others by force and did not allow them to leave until her objective was achieved.
All according to her own likes, completely ignoring other people's will, It was so overbearing that it was inhumane.
However, from what he read in the novel, even though it was annoying, it could still be reasonable and helpful at times. It had helped Yun Che many times until it exhausted its energy and disappeared.
"This noble is curious about you, how can a mere mortal like you cultivate light profound energy and even possess the Sky Profound Pearl?" The Golden Crow didn't make a fuss about being ignored, she asked Yun Wuji.
"If you want to know, there is no harm in telling you, but first, I want to take the lightning seed from here," Yun Wuji didn't answer immediately; he requested the thunder seed, it was his main goal for coming here. As for helping Huan Caiyi or perhaps getting the Golden Crow's legacy, it was secondary.
While divine legacy is powerful, it doesn't give him any additional boost in his combat strength; at most, it gives him more attacking options.
"The Lightning Seed? This noble one can give it to you, but I also have a condition," the Golden Crow remained silent for a moment before speaking. "I want you to give up the Phoenix bloodline and inherit my Golden Crow bloodline."
She had been interested in this mortal from the moment he stepped into the valley. Not only did he possess light profound energy and a Profound Heavenly Treasure, but she also couldn't see through his cultivation level!
He was the only one worthy of inheriting the Golden Crow's legacy on this planet and perhaps the whole primal chaos.
If it weren't for his strength, she wouldn't have bothered negotiating and would have erased the Phoenix bloodline from his body directly.
"Giving up the Phoenix bloodline? I refuse!" Yun Wuji shot back without hesitation.
*I know it's overused by now, but I couldn't resist.*
"Why? The Golden Crow's bloodline is a hundred times more honorable than the Phoenix's, and the power of the Golden Crow's flames is far superior to that of the Phoenix!" the Golden Crow said arrogantly. "If you give it up, this noble one will grant you ten times what the Phoenix has given you!"
"Ten times? Heh, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but I doubt you can offer that much," Yun Wuji chuckled and shook his head. "The Phoenix gave me everything she had, her bloodline, Phoenix Soul Origin, and even her Nirvana."
Screech!
As he spoke, an extremely resonant and sharp Phoenix cry sounded imposingly, and a golden Phoenix silhouette, trailing long phoenix feathers, soared into the sky.
"Impossible! Why? Why would she give you her Soul Origin and even her one and only Phoenix Nirvana?" The Golden Crow couldn't believe it; her voice was filled with incredulity.
"Not only the Phoenix, but even the Azure Dragon also gave me his Dragon Soul." As he said that, the silhouette of a gigantic Azure Dragon flashed behind him.
"What is it about you, a mere mortal, that they would go to such lengths?!"
"Perhaps because I am their only hope," Yun Wuji started bullshiting another divine spirit.
"Only hope? You mean..."
"It's hard to believe without seeing it for yourself. How about taking a look at my memories?" Yun Wuji proposed. Unlike before, he didn't need to hypnotize himself. With the Azure Dragon Soul and his own strength, he could control the memories he chose to show her.
"Conscious as a sperm? He must be cheating! Where did he get the admin access?!"
"Seventy-eight profound entrances?! That's impossible! The limit for profound entrances is fifty-four! Not even the Creation Gods can change that!" As the Golden Crow scanned Yun Wuji's memories, she felt her common sense collapsing!
"The Abyss! To think the world has been on the verge of destruction all this time..." When she saw the memories related to the Abyss, the Golden Crow trembled in fear.
Even In the time when her main body was still alive, she had been under the constant threat of death without knowing it.
Because even then, the laws of the Abyss had already begun to change.
"What? When? Why?! How can such a technique even exist?!" When she saw Yun Wuji's Deus Ex Machina, she felt her world crumbling.
How could the world allow something like this to happen?!
The readers don't realize just how insanely broken this technique is! A technique that allows you to jump an entire great realm is beyond overpowered!
Imagine someone at the Sovereign Divine Realm using it to instantly become a Divine Master! They'd crush their enemies with ease. Or better yet, picture someone at the peak of the Divine Limit Realm using it, they'd ascend to a True God in an instant! Against a peak True God, even thousands of Divine Limit cultivators are nothing but insects.
Now, imagine a True God using that technique, they'd ascend to the realm of a Creation God! How many Creation Gods have there been since the start of the universe? Only eight! And none of them reached that level through cultivation; they were born that way!
Then, imagine a Creation God using that technique... They'd leap straight to the realm of the Ancestral Goddess! Who's the Ancestral Goddess? She's the one who created the entire universe!
After reading through his memories, the Golden Crow was silent for a long while before finally saying, "Are you Yun Wuji because your talent is limitless, or is your talent limitless because you are Yun Wuji?"
"When it comes to cultivation, my talent is beyond imagination!"
"Because throughout the heaven and earth, I alone am the most dazzling one"
*I know it sounds lame... If any of you have a better suggestion, change it.*
...
Half an hour later, Huan Caiyi finished refining the dragon blood. As she opened her eyes, she felt her body become stronger, and the unbearable feeling of the bloodline eating away at her body disappeared! Her body felt as light as a feather, free from the shackles that had bound her for so long.
"You finished refining it pretty quickly," Yun Wuji's voice sounded at that moment. Huan Caiyi stood up, tightening her grip on the robe covering her body, and bowed to him. "Thank you!" There were countless words she wanted to say, but in the end, all she could muster were those two words.
"Hmm, since you've refined the dragon blood, you should be able to accept the Golden Crow's legacy," Yun Wuji nodded and said, then glanced at the Golden Crow.
After seeing his 'memories,' the Golden Crow's reaction was just as Yun Wuji expected, she granted him her bloodline, Origin Soul, and, of course, the Thunder Seed.
"This noble one shall give her what I promised," the Golden Crow's tired voice sounded. A golden light shot out and entered Huan Caiyi's body.
She expended her energy when she granted Yun Wuji her Origin Soul and bloodline.
Golden flames ignited around Huan Caiyi, and at the same time, the knowledge of the Golden Crow's Record of the Burning World appeared in her mind.
"Will you really not reconsider my proposal?" Yun Wuji asked before leaving.
"Although your proposal is tempting, this noble one does not wish to leave this place," the Golden Crow answered.
A while ago, Yun Wuji had proposed creating a body for the Golden Crow and asked if she wanted to leave this place, but she refused.
"Alright, I'll visit you later, who knows, maybe you'll change your mind," Yun Wuji didn't feel discouraged. All the divine spirits are stubborn because they view the will of their main bodies above all, but that is not absolute. The Phoenix Spirit in the Divine Phoenix Empire is such an example; she defied the will of the original Phoenix and established the Divine Phoenix Sect.
"..." The Golden Crow didn't respond, instead, she opened a passage for them to leave the valley.
"Let's go," Yun Wuji told Huan Caiyi as he walked through the passage, leaving the valley.
"Lord Golden Crow Divine God, farewell," Huan Caiyi knelt respectfully before standing up and following him.
"I'm sure you still have many things to deal with in the palace, so I'll take my leave first. See you later," Yun Wuji spoke after they had traveled in silence for a while.
"Hmm," Huan Caiyi nodded silently. She suddenly felt a reluctance to part from him but couldn't think of any reason to make him stay.
Yun Wuji bid farewell with a gentle smile, and the space around him trembled slightly before he disappeared, teleporting back to the Yun Clan.
Huan Caiyi remained standing in place, gazing at the spot where he had disappeared. She tightened the robe around her body, feeling as if she were still wrapped in his warm aura, even though he had never worn that robe.
After standing there for a long while, she shook her head and left.
The next day, the Little Demon Empress summoned all the patriarchs of the Guardian Families and the heads of the Duke Palaces.
She announced that the Demon Emperor's Seal had been brought back by Yun Qinghong's son, Yun Che, and also revealed the death of the Demon King, Yun Canghai. This news surprised even the people of the Yun Clan, as they hadn't known about it.
The Yun Clan was pardoned for their crime of losing the Demon Emperor's Seal.
This wave of news caused a stir among the families and Duke Palaces. When they left the imperial palace, many had various thoughts, and several began reconsidering their current plans.
...
'This technique is miraculous.' Late that night, Huan Caiyi was meditating near Shiny Lake, cultivating the body thickening technique. As she used this technique, she could feel her body growing stronger at a noticeable rate.
She couldn't help but sigh at Yun Wuji's talent; his genius is almost frightening!
"Hehe, little demon empress is truly hard-working," Suddenly, a grim laugh was sounded.
"Who?!" Huan Caiyi quickly stood up, golden fire igniting around her body. Looking up at the sky, she saw two men floating above. The one on the right looked at her calmly, while the other on the left had a ruthless look in his eyes and a mocking smile, he was the one who spoke.
The one on the right was Duke Ming. He was of medium stature, elegant and handsome with a pale complexion, resembling a weak scholar. Yet, despite this appearance, he emitted a frightening pressure and wore a red robe, appearing to be around thirty years old.
The other was his son, Duke Huai. Dressed luxuriously, his eyes reflected arrogance, as if nothing in the world was worthy of his attention.
"It's been a hundred and fifty years, but Your Highness still looks the same," Duke Ming said with a slight, gentle smile. "Congratulations, Your Highness. I didn't expect you to inherit the Golden Crow's legacy successfully."
"Too bad you won't have enough time to grow stronger! Hahaha!" Duke Huai joined in, and both laughed hysterically.
"Duke... Ming!" The Little Demon Empress' chest heaved intensely. In her heart, her anger was like a volcano ready to explode. She gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot with intense hatred; if looks could kill, Duke Ming would have died a million times over!
"Hahaha, it seems you're not as stupid as I thought. You've noticed something after all these years," Duke Ming laughed lightly, speaking gently as if he were a long-time friend, not the murderer of her father and husband aka brother.
"You managing to inherit the Golden Crow's legacy was an unexpected accident, but it doesn't matter. As long as I kill you today, nothing will change," Duke Ming said, his words laced with intense murderous intent.
He didn't waste any time and immediately attacked. With a casual wave of his hand, the space around it began to collapse, spreading fiercely like crashing sea waves. In the blink of an eye, it reached her.
Huan Caiyi's pupils shrank into pinsize, golden flames ignited fiercely before her.
BOOM!
The impact created a loud explosion, destroying half of the lake and sending Huan Caiyi flying, coughing up blood.
She steadied herself and glared at him with murderous intent. "Duke Ming, your clan became a royal clan all because of mine! Not only were you ungrateful and failed to serve loyally, but you grew your own ambitions and became this cruel! Don't you feel any shame? Don't you feel any guilt?!"
"Such childish words," Duke Ming said with a light smile. "The emperor of the world should naturally be someone with ability. From the moment I was born, I was determined to be the one to rule over the people beneath heaven. I will do anything to eliminate anyone who gets in my way, no matter who they are. Those so-called 'loyalty' and 'righteousness' are qualities of ridiculous weaklings!"
As he spoke, he struck again, causing the space to twist like waves. Those at the 10th Level Sovereign Profound Realm could easily shatter space; they were the apex in the plane, living gods in the absence of divine way cultivators!
Huan Caiyi didn't dare face the attack head-on; she tried to dodge it, but she wasn't fast enough. All she could do was use her golden flames to defend herself.
Boom!
With another impact, she was sent flying, coughing up blood once more.
"Duke Ming, one day I will make you regret this," Huan Caiyi said viciously, wiping the blood from her lips. A dark scarlet bracelet on her wrist suddenly shattered, releasing a flame-like bright light.
The moment the flame's brightness flickered, Huan Caiyi vanished, and a spatial whirlpool surged through, crushing layers of space. Anyone who got too close would be crushed to dust by the fragments of space.
Duke Huai was taken aback and hurried forward. "Royal Father, she escaped! What should we do?"
"Heh!" Duke Ming lowered his palms calmly, showing no trace of panic or surprise on his face; it seemed this was all within his expectations. "It was merely the destruction of the 'Scarlet Blood Bracelet' that triggered a dimensional escape. When I attacked earlier, I had already planted a tracing talisman on her, she has nowhere to run."
When he killed the Little Demon Emperor and searched his memories, he learned about the Scarlet Blood Bracelet, which he had been on guard against from the very beginning.
