Capítulo 90: Being a master isn't easy
"If you want a drop of dragon blood, I can give it to you, but the technique... err, I don't think it will suit you. I have a few other more fitting techniques," Yun Wuji said thoughtfully.
There was nothing wrong with the body thickening technique; it was very effective for strengthening one's physique. However, the mere thought of giving it to Xia Qingyue made him feel as if he was doing something immoral...
'Obviously, I'm just a good guy. So why do I feel like I've turned into some wicked creep?'
"No! I want the same technique Senior Murong used!" Xia Qingyue shook her head firmly. She can tell what her master was thinking, he likely believed she was too young to understand the real use of that technique.
'Master is so silly,' she thought, 'still thinking I'm too young. Girls my age back in my hometown are already mothers!' A smile crept across her face. 'But I like this silly side of Master, hehe~'
"Please, Master, pretty please!" Xia Qingyue noticed her master's hesitation and took his hand, her voice sweet and pleading. "If you give it to me, I promise I'll be good in the future and work hard on my cultivation!"
Yun Wuji looked at his disciple, hesitating for a while as he weighed his decision. Finally, he sighed and said, "Alright, I'll give it to you."
After considering it for a moment, he decided to give it to her. The technique only required dragon blood essence as the minimum requirement, similar to the Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon, the World Ode of the Phoenix, and other divine arts.
So, even if he didn't personally hand over the technique, Murong Qianxue, Gong Yunxian, or maybe even Huan Caiyi, would probably end up imparting it to her anyway. Instead of dancing around the issue, it was better to just give it to her directly.
"Yay! Master is the best!" Xia Qingyue cheered, jumping happily as she hugged his waist.
"Alright, alright, enough!" Yun Wuji shook his head helplessly. He tapped her forehead, imparting the technique into her mind, and then added, "Sit down; I'll help you refine the blood."
...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In a remote valley not far from the Demon Imperial City, violent explosions erupted with relentless force. Each blast sent shockwaves through the air, rumbling like thunder and shaking the ground. The booming sounds echoed across the distance, even reaching the ears of those within the Demon Imperial City.
In the air, Yun Canghai hovered, locked in a fierce confrontation with a towering purple giant.
The behemoth stood over 100 meters tall, its massive body adorned with seven white orbs: two perched on its shoulders, two on its knees, one embedded in its chest, another in its stomach, and one glaring down from its forehead. This colossal figure resembled a giant human, its blue eyes crackling with purple lightning.
The most shocking part was the aura it emitted, which was that of a 10th-level Sovereign Profound Realm!
The giant let out a deafening roar and swung its massive right hand at the space before it. In an instant, the space shattered like a broken mirror, sending ripples coursing through the surrounding area.
Yun Canghai launched a punch, his hand crackling with purple lightning as it collided with the giant's massive fist.
Booom!
With a deafening explosion, the space around them shattered, black lines appearing like a web. The ground hundreds of meters below them buckled, sending rocks plummeting into fine dust!
The purple lightning surged, pushing the giant's hand away and forcing it to take a step back. The giant roared again, advancing forward to deliver another punch.
"Haha, come again!" Yun Canghai laughed as he braced himself, meeting the attack with a punch of his own.
The thunderous explosions echoed for a while as all kinds of attacks collided violently. Even the aftershocks were deadly, sending shockwaves through the air and causing the ground to tremble beneath them.
Bang!
With a deafening roar, the giant was sent crashing into the ground, creating a deep crater. It groaned as it glowed with intense purple light. When the brilliance finally subsided, the giant was gone, replaced by seven figures panting heavily, they were Yun Qinghong and the elders from the Yun Clan.
"This formation is incredible! It allows seven individuals at the Sovereign Profound Realm to combine their powers and unleash the might of a peak Sovereign Profound Realm!" One of the elders stood up, dusting off his robe as he exclaimed in awe.
"Lord Yun Wuji is truly unfathomable! He managed to create such a profound battle formation!" another elder remarked, his voice filled with admiration.
Yun Canghai descended and said, "Indeed, this battle formation is mystical. However, since you all are still getting used to working together, you can't fully unleash its strength. Otherwise, I would have a harder time defeating it."
"The only downside of this formation is that it requires the individuals using it to cultivate the same profound art and cultivate the same elements," Yun Qinghong added as he walked over to his father. "But this isn't an issue for us and the other Guardian families."
"Our Illusory Demon Realm has more Monarchs than the Four Sacred Grounds, but our top-tier power is too weak. The Demon King is the only one at the Peak of Sovereign Profound Realm, while each Sacred Ground has more than one. With this formation, we can finally eliminate this weakness!" another elder added with a laugh.
"Lord Yun Wuji is indeed the savior of our Illusory Demon Realm!"
...
After Yun Wuji guided her for a while, pointing out some issues she encountered in her cultivation, Xia Qingyue eagerly returned to her cultivation room to try out her new technique.
Watching her skip away happily, Yun Wuji shook his head, then teleported to the beach and walked casually along the sand. After returning from the Azure Cloud Continent, his mood was still down, but after talking with his disciple, he felt a bit better.
Still not in the mood to meet others, he chose to wander alone on the beach instead of visiting his women.
'The epiphany I got when I visited Master's grave is indeed helpful. Now that I have the framework for my technique, it won't be long before it is completed,' he thought as he looked at the waves coming and receding. Reflecting on the epiphany he had a few days ago, he realized that after meditating for several days, his understanding of many things had become deeper and clearer.
He continued to walk aimlessly for a long while when suddenly he heard a voice calling out to him, "Master!"
"Lingxi?" Yun Wuji turned around and saw Xiao Lingxi running toward him, stepping lightly on the sand with her bare feet.
"Master, when did you come back?" Xiao Lingxi looked at her master and said, "If Sister Qingyue hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were already back."
"Haha, I was in the mood for a walk and lost track of time," Yun Wuji chuckled, patting her head. "Come on, let's walk together."
*FBI, Stop! Get away from that loli!*
"Hmm," Xiao Lingxi smiled and held his hand, walking alongside him.
"What have you been doing lately? I heard you've been spending most of your time at sea," Yun Wuji asked.
"Yes! The sea is so beautiful!" Xiao Lingxi glanced at her master's profile and nodded vigorously.
"Indeed, the sea is beautiful..." Yun Wuji replied, gazing out at the water.
The two walked together in silence for a while, taking in the view. Yun Wuji was lost in thought, while Xiao Lingxi occasionally stole glances at his profile, her small feet playfully kicking up the sand.
"Master, I heard from sister Qingyue that she broke through to the Peak Spirit Profound Realm," Xiao Lingxi suddenly said.
"That's indeed true," Yun Wuji replied.
"Sister is very talented; she could cultivate so fast..." Xiao Lingxi said in a low voice. "Compared to her, I feel so ordinary. My cultivation speed is so slow. Even little Che, who started cultivating later than me, is already catching up."
"..." Yun Wuji.
"Master, I'm useless, aren't I?" Xiao Lingxi suddenly stopped walking and stood in front of him. "You took me as your disciple and put in so much effort to teach me how to cultivate, but in the end, I really am useless. I can't compare to Sister Qingyue or little Che."
"Sometimes I think that someday because I can't keep up with them, you'll kick me out or just stop caring about me," Xiao Lingxi spoke in a low voice, her hand gripping his tightly. "But... but I don't want to be left out! I don't want Master to leave me!"
'Sigh...I just want to spend some time alone, now I have to deal with my disciple's insecurities as well, being a master isn't so easy,' Yun Wuji thought to himself as he listened to his disciple's words.
Smack!
"Stupid! What nonsense are you saying?!" He lightly knocked her head and scolded her.
"Ouch!" Xiao Lingxi held her forehead in pain and looked at her master with a pitiful expression.
"Qingyue's talent is indeed monstrous, and Xiao Che also had some talent in him, but you can't belittle yourself!" Yun Wuji said in a serious tone. "You are my disciple; how could I take in useless disciples?! You have your own special traits!"
"Really?" Xiao Lingxi rubbed her forehead and replied in a skeptical tone.
"Of course! In fact, you are more special than Qingyue and even anyone else in this universe," Yun Wuji nodded, patting her head. "In some ways, your existence is even greater than those primordial gods and devils from the ancient era."
"You are the most special person in this universe, so never think too little of yourself! Be more confident!"
"I'm really that great?" Xiao Lingxi couldn't believe her ears. Was she really that awesome? Why couldn't she sense it all these years?
"Of course you are! Do you think I'm too bored to lie to you?" Yun Wuji nodded. After all, he wasn't lying; she truly was the most special existence in the universe, the 1,000th reincarnation of the strongest being in existence, the Ancestral Goddess.
"Even greater than you, Master?" Xiao Lingxi looked at her master with curiosity. Everyone and their mothers knew that her master was very narcissistic; he believed he was the greatest person in the past, present, and future, convinced that no one in the world could match even 1% of his greatness.
She was waiting for him to say something like, 'Of course, not how can someone surpass my almost frightening genius?'
But she was taken aback when she noticed a hesitant expression on his face as he considered her question. "Hmm, that's a tricky question indeed. Honestly, I don't know; perhaps I'm a bit better," Yun Wuji scratched his chin and replied.
"I'm really that great?" Seeing his reaction, Xiao Lingxi began to believe what he said. From her interactions with her master, she knew he was very proud of his talent and would never lower his standing just to coax her.
Or perhaps he did, just to make me feel better? Xiao Lingxi suddenly thought, looking at her master gratefully. After all, she knew herself well; she had lived her whole life as an ordinary person. If she hadn't met Yun Wuji, she probably would have never left the tiny floating Cloud City.
So instead of believing that she was some special existence that could be compared to her great master, she'd rather think that he was just coaxing her.
After all, everyone knew that his talent was almost frightening.
Capítulo 91: I am not a fucking tsundere!
The Mighty Heavenly Sword Region was split into six regions: the Eastern Region, Western Region, Southern Region, Northern Region, Central Region, and Sword Region. Among these, the Central Region lay at the very core of the entire Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. It was the heart of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region itself.
As the core of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, the Central Region was where all the strongest individuals resided, all the elders, the grand elder, the Sword Attendants, the Sword Master, and their families made their homes there.
"Father, I've received the report from Heavenly Sword Villa. The formation is indeed broken—someone managed to slip through, break the formation, and free that old guy Yun Canghai without setting off any alarms," Xuanyuan Wendao reported.
In a hidden chamber, Xuanyuan Wendao and his father, Xuanyuan Wentian, were deep in discussion.
"Indeed, I underestimated the people from the Illusory Demon Realm. They managed to sneak into the Profound Sky Continent and free Yun Canghai without us detecting them," Xuanyuan Wentian replied, listening to his son's report while caressing the sword on his lap. "And not long ago, the Little Demon Empress and Yun Canghai joined forces to get rid of that old Duke Ming."
He spoke without lifting his head, his gaze fixed on the sword, gentle yet eager, as if he were gazing at a lover.
"The spies sent the news?" Xuanyuan Wendao asked.
"Yes, but there is something strange. Among the reports, there are vague rumors about a man pulling the strings behind the scenes," Xuanyuan Wentian replied with a light nod, not pausing in his gentle caress of the sword.
Xuanyuan Wendao glanced at his father, thinking, 'He's probably caressed that sword more than his own dong.'
"Someone manipulating things behind the scenes?" Xuanyuan Wendao asked, surprised. "That's problematic. Wouldn't that affect our plans? Father, what should we do?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter who's playing tricks. In at most a decade, my thousand-year plan will come to fruition," Xuanyuan Wentian finally raised his head, a confident smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "By then, it won't matter who stands in my way, I'll cut them down with my sword."
To reach the Profound God Realm aka the Divine Origin Realm, Xuanyuan Wentian had schemed for a thousand years. He exterminated the Eternal Night Royal Family to seize the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword and plotted against the reincarnated prince of the Eternal Night Royal Family, who now lived as Fen Juechen.
Suddenly, at the heart of the Central Region, the very fabric of space seemed to shudder. It rippled like waves crashing against the shore, then twisted and contorted as though it were being squeezed, reshaping itself like pliable fabric under an unseen force.
"What is that?!" The disciples guarding the area were struck with terror as they witnessed the strange phenomenon, their faces paling in fright.
"Quickly, inform the Sword Master and the Elders!" one of them shouted, panic lacing their voice.
"I'll g—" One of the disciples started to run to inform them, but it was already too late.
BOOOOOMMMM!
*Explosion!!!!*
The space collapsed, and in that instant, a monstrous detonation erupted!
The explosion engulfed a vast expanse of land, sending a massive dust cloud billowing into the air. Immediately following the blast, beams of red light shot out from the pit, chaotic and uncontrollable.
The beams of red light swept across the area, tearing through the tall and majestic buildings as if they were nothing more than butter sliced by a laser knife!
"What happened?!" Xuanyuan Wendao exclaimed, his body jolted by the massive explosion. The ground trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck, causing him to stumble and nearly fall.
"!!!" Xuanyuan Wentian shot up from his seat with a sudden burst of force. Without a moment's hesitation, he transformed into a beam of light, rushing toward the source of the explosion.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At the same time, the elders and Sword Attendants also transformed into beams of light, rushing toward the explosion site!
When they arrived, they found a massive, scorched pit. The ground still smoldered, with the earth and rock melting like magma, sending plumes of steam rising into the air!
This explosion had obliterated a quarter of the Central Region. Not even considering the martial losses, the number of disciples who perished was incalculable. Most importantly, many of the fallen were descendants and members of the Xuanyuan Clan!
"What... what happened here?! Who did this?!" Xuanyuan Guyun, the second strongest elder, whom most readers would forget about in a few moments, exclaimed, his eyes nearly popping out in a mix of rage and disbelief.
Who had the guts and audacity to attack their Mighty Heavenly Sword Region?!
"Sword Master, what... wh..." One of the elders stammered, looking at Xuanyuan Wentian for answers.
"Calm the fuck down!" Xuanyuan Wentian snapped his face dark with fury. His eyes burned red as he stared at the pit. He struggled to maintain his composure, but even with his strong mentality, his anger twisted his expression.
"Look!" one of them exclaimed, pointing to the center of the pit. Instantly, all eyes turned in that direction.
The space in front of them trembled violently as a massive crack tore open, stretching like the maw of a colossal beast, like a giant was about to emerge from it. And indeed, giants did emerge from the crack.
A purple giant leaped from the space crack, and as it landed, it bellowed in laughter, "Hahaha! Bastards of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, your grandpa is here!"
Moments later, more giants followed. A blue giant, a green giant, a red giant... over twenty giants in total emerged, hovering in the air. Their eyes were filled with a deep, murderous intent as they locked their gazes onto the people of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.
Finally, after the last giant emerged, an old figure slowly walked forward. He was the final one to step out from the crack in the space. As he appeared, the giants moved aside, clearing a path for him to flow casually through. He stood in front of Xuanyuan Wentian, his gaze locking with the Sword Master. With a faint smile, he spoke, "Old bastard Xuanyuan Wentian, it's been a long while. How are you doing?"
"Who are you?!" One of the elders stepped forward, pointing at the old man with a furious expression. "How dare you attack my Mighty Heavenly Sword Region?!" He shouted angrily, "You are courting death!"
"You... you are the Illusory Demon Realm's Demon King, Yun Canghai!" Xuanyuan Wentian narrowed his eyes and said. It had been over 150 years since he last saw Yun Canghai, and back then, he had appeared as a middle-aged man. His current appearance was so different that Xuanyuan Wentian hadn't recognized him immediately.
"Indeed," Yun Canghai nodded casually, and then his expression darkened. A deep killing intent radiated from his entire being. "Today, I came to bathe your Mighty Heavenly Sword Region in blood!"
If Duke Ming was the one who had plotted against him, his clan's grand elders, and his friend, the Demon Emperor, then these people were the ones who had killed his friend and made him suffer for over 150 years!
Every day, when he was sealed within that formation, he swore to take his revenge. He swore to rip apart all those who had put him there, to shred them into pieces!
He didn't waste any more time with shit-talk. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Attack! Kill! Kill them all! Take revenge for the Demon Emperor Clan! Take revenge for our Illusory Demon Realm's hundred years of shame!" He transformed into a beam of light and charged directly toward Xuanyuan Wentian.
"Kill!" The twenty-five giants roared in unison, following him with an overwhelming surge of power.
...
Meanwhile, in the Northern Region, the space twisted and Yun Wuji stepped out from a rift, with a beautiful woman in a red and black dress following closely behind him.
As they emerged, Yun Wuji glanced at Huan Caiyi and asked, "Are you sure you want to follow me instead of taking revenge personally?"
"You don't need to tell me what to do," Huan Caiyi said, crossing her arms under her chest. Her voice was cold, unwavering. "Since I've decided to follow you, I've already made my considerations."
"Fucking tsundere! I thought she was just a cute kuudere, but who would've thought she's not only a kuudere but also a tsundere?" Yun Wuji shook his head, muttering under his breath.
In this new era, yandere and kuudere girls are still popular, but tsundere girls have become outdated. No one had the patience for them anymore. They were just too annoying, especially the violent ones.
"I am not a fucking tsundere!" Huan Caiyi's sharp hearing caught his words, and her cold eyes turned even colder as she gritted her teeth and said.
She was also someone who had been influenced by weeb culture, so she knew exactly what a tsundere was.
"Yeah, yeah, sure... you're a kuudere and a tsundere," Yun Wuji muttered dismissively, waving his hand casually before flying off toward a spirit herb field.
"Hmph!" Huan Caiyi's plump chest heaved from anger, she wanted to smack him to the ground, but she knew that he was stronger than her. In the end, she snorted and asked him, "What are we doing here? If you want to take their resources, why don't we wait until they are defeated to take them?"
The Central Region was located at the heart of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, but in the entire region, the Northern Region was the most heavily guarded and, at the same time, the most important. Despite its small size, it held unparalleled significance.
This was because the Northern Region served as the medicine garden of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.
That place was where large amounts of spirit pellets and medicines were grown, made, and stockpiled. Every single stalk or pellet was worth an entire city; all were exceedingly rare and precious.
All of these things were the result of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region's ten thousand years of accumulation. It was the most important resource stockpile that supported the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.
"Stop right there! Who are you?!" Dozens of disciples guarding the spirit herbs shouted, unsheathing their swords!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Yun Wuji gave them a casual glance, and in an instant, all the disciples fell to the ground, their bodies cleaved into eight pieces.
As if the disciples never existed, Yun Wuji entered the field and explained to her, "If I don't make a move and secure this place first, there's a very high chance that when they realize they can't escape the sect's destruction, they'll send some of their disciples to take the most precious resources and run away."
He waved his hand, storing the herbs from the field, and added, "Fifty percent of the reason I invaded this place is to take their resources."
"I didn't know you were such a money grubber," Huan Caiyi remarked, watching him harvest the herbs at an absurd speed. She couldn't help but feel speechless at his proficiency. 'How many sects has he plundered before?!' she wondered.
"So the other half of the reason is to help us take revenge?"
"Of course not," Yun Wuji replied casually. "Forty-nine percent is to take over this continent and control it to collect more resources, and 1% is to take revenge for you." He used the Sky Poison Pearl to effortlessly clean up the spirit herb field and then flew off to the next one.
All the fields were spaced far apart from each other because spiritual herbs were delicate, and their proximity to one another could interfere with their growth, causing them to wither easily.
"Greedy bastard! I knew you had an ulterior motive when you helped us!" Huan Caiyi snorted, her face cold, eyes filled with disdain.
"Fucking tsundere..." Yun Wuji muttered under his breath, not even glancing at her, but he could feel her cold gaze drilling into the back of his head.
"I said, I am not a fucking tsundere!!!"
