Capítulo 114: The Indestructible Blood of the Heretic God
"Please, take a seat. We can talk while eating," Yun Wuji said, admiring her flabbergasted expression. He didn't offer any further explanation, merely gesturing to an empty seat.
"Hmph!" Jasmine snorted, behaving like a typical tsundere as she sat down. Her eyes fell on the plate of steak in front of her. She wanted to ignore it, but the mouth-watering aroma kept pulling her attention.
It was like a big, round, nice ass attracting a man, irresistibly calling out to her.
Yun Wuji maintained a calm smile on his face, but inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was confident Jasmine wouldn't attack him, negotiating with a Level 8 Divine Master, even a severely weakened one who couldn't wield even 1% of their power, was still an immense pressure to bear.
He wasn't Yun Che and didn't have the protection of destiny. There was no way he could expect Jasmine to wake up and immediately say something like, 'Oh, you have the Sky Poison Pearl! Alright, I'll be your teacher, give you the super OP Heretic God's veins, teach you some ridiculously overpowered technique, and if you recklessly court death, I'll risk everything to save your sorry ass!'
The fact that she was willing to sit down and share a table with a "lowly mortal" from the lower realms meant he had already overcome the most challenging hurdle.
From the moment Jasmine appeared until now, the entire flow of the conversation had been completely under his control. Despite being a Star God who could effortlessly slap him to death, she was, in the end, just a little girl. He, however, understood her perhaps even better than she understood herself.
"I hope you can forgive me for only offering you this lowly mortal food. Please, enjoy yourself," Yun Wuji said, noticing how she struggled between maintaining her appearance and giving in to the temptation of the meal before her.
"Hmph! This princess will be magnanimous and accept your offer," Jasmine snorted haughtily, not even glancing at him, before immediately taking a bite.
"...!!!" The moment the meat touched her taste buds, her eyes widened in shock, and a surge of warmth spread through her entire body. It was as though every sense ignited at once, the rich, savory flavor exploding in her mouth, stirring something deep within her. Her usual composure shattered, replaced by an unexpected wave of pleasure as she savored the taste, her body tingling with every bite.
'How... how could something be this delicious?!!!' That was the only thought racing through her mind as she devoured the food, each bite sending waves of wonder and delight coursing through her. It was as though she had never tasted anything like it before, every flavor more intense, more perfect than she could have ever imagined.
'Heh, I've spent years perfecting my cooking skills,' Yun Wuji thought with a smirk, watching her intently. 'Anyone who tastes my food became addicted to it, even the Evil Infant can't resist it. So, of course, a little girl like you won't be able to hold back.'
At first, Jasmine had tried to maintain her dignified appearance, but now, she was mirroring the Evil Infant, wolfing down the food with abandon, her earlier composure completely forgotten.
"Cough! This food... cough... wasn't bad," Jasmine quickly muttered after finishing the last piece. Realizing her earlier lapse in manners, she coughed to cover it up, her face flushing slightly as she tried to regain some semblance of dignity.
"Hey! Master's food is the best! How dare you call it 'not bad'?!" The Evil Infant, who had finished eating as well, shot an angry glare at Jasmine. "Hmph! Since you don't like it, I'll tell Master to never give you any again! Hmph!"
"I'll ask Master to give me her portion of the food. Hehe, I'm so smart!" the Evil Infant muttered quietly to herself, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.
"..." Jasmine stared speechlessly at the Sky Poison Pearl's spirit, her mind reeling. 'Is this really the spirit of one of the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures?!'
"Hmm, let's continue our chat then," Yun Wuji said, ignoring the Evil Infant. He stood up and placed three cups of tea on the table.
"Right! What do you mean by rent?" Jasmine's attention snapped back to him. The combination of his control over the conversation, the heavenly food, and the presence of the Spirit of a Heavenly Treasure had completely disarmed her, leaving her without her usual sharpness or initiative, subconsciously she was following his flow.
The shock and stimulation from it all were overwhelming, even for a Star God like her, one who had inherited the memories of her predecessors.
In fact, even if any other Star God were in her place, they wouldn't have fared any better.
"From now on, until you purify the poison plaguing you, you'll be living in my body and using my Sky Poison Pearl. So, naturally, you need to pay," Yun Wuji said, taking a casual sip from his tea cup as he explained. Seeing the wonderful expressions on her face, he added with a warm smile, "Don't worry, little miss, I'm a very generous man. I won't ask you to repay me for saving your life that night."
Hearing his words, Jasmine's expression froze. She wanted to say something, but upon hearing his last remark, she swallowed her retort. With a resigned sigh, she finally spoke, "Hmph! Since this princess is using you to recover, I will naturally repay you."
"You have my thanks then. By the way, I still haven't gotten your name, little miss," Yun Wuji said, setting down his teacup as he properly introduced himself. "I am Yun Wuji, the de facto ruler of this planet."
"Jasmine," Jasmine drank the tea and replied with a cold tone. She was feeling uncomfortable with how this progressed.
In her mind, she would have forced this guy into submission. Whether he willingly surrendered the Sky Poison Pearl or not, he would be groveling at her feet. And given his extraordinary talent, a peak Monarch at just 19 in this dirty lower realm, she would reluctantly accept him as her disciple and make him work to collect the materials she needed to reconstruct her body.
However, from the very first moment of their meeting, she had an unsettling feeling that she was being led by him all along, which filled her with intense frustration.
The most frustrating thing was that she couldn't do anything to him!
He wasn't a weak mortal like Yun Che, someone she could crush underfoot without even using her profound energy. This man was at the peak of the Monarch realm, and though she only needed a tiny portion of her power to suppress him, doing so would trigger a rebound from the poison, making it not worth the risk.
Yun Che got to see her naked pussy when she stepped on him, so it was a fair deal for him.
She rose from her seat and hovered above Yun Wuji, her posture exuding arrogance. In a haughty tone, she declared, "Hmph! You saved this princess' life, so this princess shall indeed repay you. Promise to fulfill two conditions for this princess, and in return, this princess will immediately give you the most valuable thing she currently possesses."
'Did she purposely fly up just to look down on me? How childish,' Yun Wuji thought, shaking his head inwardly. Though he disliked looking up at others, he decided to be generous this time and let it slide.
Once she finished speaking, Yun Wuji put on a solemn expression and asked, "Can you first tell me what these two conditions are that I must promise you, and also, what is this 'most valuable item' you're offering?"
"Hmph! You should count yourself lucky. The thing this princess is willing to give you is something I risked my life to obtain. It's also the very reason why this princess was hunted down and infected by this terrifying poison," Jasmine replied, her eyes turning colder. Unconsciously, her killing intent seeped out as the memories of what happened resurfaced.
Jasmine slowly raised her right hand, her thin and delicate index finger pointing toward the sky. From her fingertip, a dark-red, water-like droplet began to emerge, radiating a faint yet ominous glow. It rose steadily, enveloped in a shimmering aura of an eerie light until it hovered just above her fingertip.
"This?" Yun Wuji's eyes were fixed on the drop of blood as he asked, pretending to be surprised.
"Three hundred years ago, someone discovered an ancient book while exploring a dangerous ruin from the Ancient Era. The book recorded a message: 'In the Primordial Era, there existed a true god, known as the 'Heretic God.' He was the last of the gods to remain after the fall of the Era of the Gods. His downfall marked the true end of that era. And in the moments before his fall, the Heretic God left behind a droplet of Indestructible blood, a powerful essence embodying his source of power...'
"If one could acquire this drop of Indestructible blood and infuse it into their body, their Profound Veins would be able to awaken the power of the Heretic God!"
"Many people quickly gained knowledge about this record; the words 'Power of the True God' were irresistibly alluring to everyone. Many began a frenzied search for the Heretic God's blood. For centuries, there were no results. It wasn't until a month ago that the location of the Heretic God's downfall was uncovered. Countless individuals rushed to claim whatever remnants of the god might remain. In the chaos, the legendary 'Indestructible Blood of the Heretic God' was discovered, sparking a mad scramble. But in the end, it was I who claimed it."
"So, they chased you because you possessed the Blood of the Heretic God?" Yun Wuji asked, listening to her story. It seemed like either she still hadn't realized it was all part of a plot against her, or she simply didn't think it was necessary to mention that detail.
"Hmph, daring to snatch this princess's possession, it's like they were begging for death!" Jasmine's eyes gleamed with malice as she spoke with palpable hatred. "Only after obtaining the Blood of the Heretic God did I realize that the power hidden within it was nothing like I had expected. There wasn't even a hint of divine power! Instead, if one infused it into their body, it would forcibly alter the structure and attributes of their Profound Veins. Worse still, it would erase all the profound energy painstakingly cultivated in their original veins, leaving them with nothing! Everything would have to start over from scratch! That's all it does! And after that, the profound strength would still need to be rebuilt, step by step!"
Holding the droplet of blood, Jasmine fixed her gaze on Yun Wuji and spoke deliberately, "For someone like me, sacrificing all of my current powers just to integrate this Heretic God's blood is a price I cannot afford to pay. However, your situation is different. Even though you've reached the Peak of the Monarch Realm, starting over with these newly forged profound veins could bring you immense benefits. Considering your current level of cultivation and your young age, achieved on such a barren planet, it wouldn't take long for you to recover your strength. In fact, with these veins, you might even surpass your current limits and step onto the divine way with ease."
"So, what do you think? Are you willing?" Jasmine asked after finishing her explanation. Hovering above Yun Wuji, she looked down at him with a haughty demeanor.

Capítulo 115: How to bullshit a Star God
"Sure, but you still haven't mentioned your conditions," Yun Wuji said calmly, waiting for her to finish before posing his question.
"It seems that you are not ordinary," His calme reaction caused Jasmine to look at him in a different light. If anyone of his level were to hear the story she said, they would be shocked and disbelieve, because aside from the Heretic God's Indestructible blood, her tales implicitly talk about a higher world something more than this tiny planet.
A higher realm means higher cultivation realms, which is what all the people of his level should be pursuing. But Yun Wuji's reaction was too calm as if he didn't seem impressed at all.
She cleared her throat and declared, "The first condition is that you must promise to help this princess obtain three items: a stalk of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, three Profound Beast Cores no lower than the Tyrant Profound Realm, and at least thirty-five kilos of Purple Veined Divine Crystal!"
"Sure, I can do that," Yun Wuji agreed without hesitation. He already had the Netherworld Udumbara Flower and the Profound Beast Cores in his possession; the only thing he lacked was the Purple Veined Divine Crystals, having used up his previous stock.
Still, it was no big deal. By the time she managed to rid herself of the poison, he figured he'd have prepared them easily enough.
Jasmine nodded in satisfaction and stated her second condition, "The second condition is that you must accept this princess as your master."
"Ehh? Why?" Yun Wuji's brow arched in genuine surprise. Unlike Yun Che, he wasn't some novice without cultivation experience. Why would she want him as her disciple?
It made no sense!
"Hmph! That's none of your business!" Jasmine replied with a haughty snort, her lips curling slightly as she observed his surprised expression. She was dissatisfied with his earlier casual demeanor, but seeing him caught off guard now strangely pleased her.
"I see no harm in this," Yun Wuji said after a brief pause, accepting her condition. It wasn't a big deal to call her his master. He didn't plan on treating her like one anyway, at most, he would throw her some food now and then.
'Wait! Could it be that this was her real goal?!' Suddenly, a thought struck Yun Wuji. 'Damn! If it weren't for my almost frightening detective genius, I never would've figured that out!'
"Hmph! That's for the better!" Jasmine nodded with satisfaction, imagining the delicious food she'd be enjoying in the future. A small trail of drool escaped from her scarlet lips, but she quickly wiped it away with her sleeve.
"That's all?" Yun Wuji pretended not to notice her small action and asked.
"Hmph! You saved this princess's life, so I won't demand anything beyond your power," Jasmine stated coldly before adding, "Becoming this princess's disciple is the greatest fortune you'll ever have. From now on, you must always address me as your Master."
"Are you sure? I used to have a master, an old man with a long white beard and a sagely demeanor. Every time the word 'master' is mentioned, I can't help but think of him. But you, you're a cute little girl, probably around 12 or 13. Are you sure you want me to treat you like an old man?" Yun Wuji said with a smirk, his expression saying, 'Be careful what you wish for.'
Jasmine's eyebrows twitched slightly, and the corners of her lips curled in a restrained spasm. She took a deep breath before speaking, her voice calm but with an underlying edge. "You can call me Jasmine, but never forget in your heart that I am your master! And don't forget your duty and place as my disciple!"
"Alright! From now on, in exchange for the Heretic God's blood, I will exempt you from the 'rent' and accept your two conditions," Yun Wuji nodded immediately. "Jasmine, now you're my master, and in exchange, you will teach me the profound way. I will respect you, follow your orders, and be obedient." He kept uttering nonsense that even the Evil Infant clearly knew he would never follow.
"Hmph! You better not forget that!" Jasmine crossed her arms, nodding with a smug expression. After a brief pause, she added, "Do you want to take the Indestructible blood now, or do you need to make any preparations first?"
"Yeah, give me half an hour," Yun Wuji replied, then immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Jasmine asked, her confusion evident as she watched his actions.
"..." Yun Wuji ignored her and began to operate the body multiplication technique. His face contorted in pain as a vague shadow, resembling him, gradually began to appear in front of him.
After two years of adjusting and refining this skill, it had become much easier for Yun Wuji to use. The pain and drawbacks were significantly reduced, but even then, the pain he felt was still something that few could endure.
"..." Jasmine's forehead creased into a frown as she watched a body similar to Yun Wuji being created. At the same time, her mind wandered back to everything that had happened since the moment she stepped onto this planet.
As she thought, her expression began to shift, growing colder and colder, until it seemed as if the entire area had fallen into an icy hell.
After more than 20 minutes, a new body took shape. Yun Wuji quickly dressed it, worried that this tsundere would react violently and attack it. However, contrary to his expectations, she didn't react at all not even a sound, or a movement.
Suddenly, Yun Wuji heard Jasmine's cold voice in his ears, her murderous gaze locking onto him. "There's something strange about you," she said. "You seem like you've already prepared for this from the beginning. And now that I think about it... how could someone of your standing just coincidentally appear in a small, barren place like that?"
"Who are you? And who sent you?!" Jasmine's voice grew colder, her eyes narrowing with suspicion as she stared at Yun Wuji.
"Jasmine, I think we had a misunderstanding here, I was in Floating Cloud City to attend my disciple's wedding and coincidentally I found you when I was strolling the mountain," Yun Wuji said calmly as he explained to her. He had already expected this reaction from her, and it was time for him to bullshit another one.
He had already succeeded in bullshitting many divine spirits and was becoming an expert in this field.
"Hmph! Wedding? Then how do you explain this cloning technique? This is a technique so profound that even back in the Sta... my place, it's impossible to find! How can a lowly place like this have it?! Are you going to tell me that you created it?" Jasmine let out a cold laugh as she narrowed her eyes, many possibilities colliding in her mind.
Is this man a pawn of some King Realm? No! It can't be. If any of them were plotting against her, why would they go to such lengths? They could just kill her and take what they want. Why would they make such a foolish move and even risk losing the Sky Poison Pearl?
"I indeed created this technique myself," Yun Wuji nodded, but he immediately sensed her aura growing colder and her expression darkening. It was clear she didn't believe him and took his words as a clumsy lie. "Hey! Hey! I don't mean any harm. If I really wanted to plot against you, I could've just waited for you to die and taken whatever I wanted from your dead body. Why would I go through all this trouble?"
"Hmph! Who knows what scheme you're cooking?!" Jasmine snorted at his words, her eyes narrowing. "I don't believe you didn't know my identity before coming into contact with me! I can overlook all of this, but there's one thing I want to know! My route was only decided at the last minute, in desperation. Even the people closest to me didn't know where I was headed. How did you know I was going... to... land... on... this... planet?!"
"Sigh! I didn't expect to be exposed so soon. It seems that I really can't hide it from you..." Yun Wuji let out a sigh of resignation, lifting his head to meet her gaze. "Jasmine, listen up. I did know exactly where and when you would appear long before you descended upon this planet."
"..." Jasmine frowned, but she remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
"To be precise, I knew about it for more than two years," However, hearing his next words, her expression changed.
She flashed forward and grabbed him by the collar, lifting him off the ground. "Are you making fun of me? Do you really have a death wish?!" The sight of a little girl lifting a grown man was almost comical, but the tension in the air made the situation far from funny.
"Nope, I'm dead serious. Why don't you calm down and let me finish my explanation? It won't be too late for you to judge whether I'm lying or not," Yun Wuji said calmly, without struggling.
"Hmph! You'd better," Jasmine snorted, releasing him.
"I have an ability to predict the future. I used it more than two years ago, and I predicted your appearance at that time," Yun Wuji said calmly.
"Horseshit!" Jasmine shouted immediately in response. Who did he take her for? A dumb tsundere girl with the power to destroy a planet with a single sneeze, who was manipulated by her father and teacher to sacrifice herself?!
She was a Star God! She had inherited the memories of all her predecessors and witnessed nearly everything the God Realm had to offer. She knew that even the old geezers in the Heavenly Mystery Realm couldn't accomplish what this guy so casually claimed to have done.
"What do you mean by horseshit?! I won't let you call my sincere explanation horseshit!" Yun Wuji shouted back, though inwardly he thought, 'How dare you call my bullshit, horseshit?!'
"Hmph! If you're not spouting nonsense, then what is this? You're pushing your luck too far. Do you really think I won't do anything to you just because I'm poisoned and need you to keep me alive?" Jasmine snorted at his outburst, her laugh laced with anger.
'Exactly! I know you'd never harm me, hehe,' he thought in response to her anger, a sly grin forming in his mind.
"So much for being my master, you can't even trust me?" Yun Wuji shook his head, faking a look of sadness. "Come, inspect my profound veins, and you'll understand what I'm saying."
"Hmph! I don't have a dumb disciple like you who can't even come up with a decent lie. Let me see..." Jasmine snorted and walked toward him, placing her hand below his chest. The moment her senses touched his profound veins, her mocking voice abruptly stopped, replaced by a cry of disbelief.
"What the actual fuck?! Seventy-eight profound entrances?! How is this possible?!"

{ I understand that there's a lot of dialogue, but I feel it's important to get things right. You can't just expect characters to casually say things like, "Here, take the Heretic God's blood and accept me as your master," and then the other person simply responds with, "Yeah, sure!" }
{ For anyone wondering, let me clarify this right now: under no circumstances will Yun Wuji use his clones to have sex with his women. That will not happen.
And if you think Omnipresent Domain is a cloning technique, then with all due respect, I don't think it's a good idea for you to waste your time reading novels or watching anime. Go educate yourself, bro. }
