Chapter 266: A Person from the Upper Realm

Great Sovereign Jasmine's eyes were bright, her gaze filled with a seductive charm. When she saw Qi Yuan appear, a blush appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"If you want it, what's the harm in giving you the mythical treasure, my friend?"

After all, if her master was to possess the body of the Blood-Robed Sword God, then wouldn't the mythical treasure belong to the Blood-Robed Sword God as well?

"You see, I told you Great Sovereign Jasmine wanted to give me the mythical treasure!" Qi Yuan boasted, glancing at Old Man Seven Wounds. "You have no idea what kind of life a handsome guy leads."

Old Man Seven Wounds blushed slightly and didn't say anything.

Qi Yuan knew that when a man gets flirty, women don't stand a chance. But if a woman takes the initiative, then men are helpless.

"So..." Qi Yuan suddenly changed his tone, "How about I don't go to the Phoenix Palace, and you confess your feelings here and give me the mythical treasure directly?"

Qi Yuan's thinking was simple.

The result would be the same anyway, so why not skip the process and have Great Sovereign Jasmine hand him the mythical treasure right away?

Moreover, Qi Yuan felt that this also showed his high emotional intelligence.

Great Sovereign Jasmine had invited so many Yin Gods to confess her feelings to him.

He would certainly refuse.

With so many people present, it would embarrass Great Sovereign Jasmine.

So, directly taking the mythical treasure would also prevent Great Sovereign Jasmine from losing face.

That would be a win-win situation.

Great Sovereign Jasmine's smile slightly froze; she didn't know what Qi Yuan was thinking. She charmingly said, "I have prepared a big surprise for you. If you don't come, all my efforts will be in vain."

As she spoke, she leaned her delicate body toward Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan quickly dodged; he didn't want to be touched by Great Sovereign Jasmine.

If he caught something, that would be troublesome.

"Your invitation is too kind to refuse. I'll go to the Phoenix Palace and take a look," Qi Yuan finally agreed.

Great Sovereign Jasmine's eyes showed a hint of regret.

Unfortunately, after today, she would only have the Blood-Robed Sword God's body, but not his heart, which made her somewhat disappointed.

The two transformed into a stream of light, heading toward the Phoenix Palace.

The Phoenix Palace was also in Qinghong City, not far from the Seeking Dao Palace.

Soon, the two arrived at the Phoenix Palace.

At this moment, the Phoenix Palace was as bright as day but eerily quiet, somewhat spooky.

This was different from what Qi Yuan had imagined.

"When I go in, will there be a group of people cheering and shouting, 'Kiss her'?" Qi Yuan asked, surprised.

If that were the case, it would be quite awkward.

Great Sovereign Jasmine was taken aback, unable to comprehend Qi Yuan's train of thought.

She chuckled, her smile full of meaning: "You'll understand everything once you enter."

"I hope it's not too surprising."

Following Great Sovereign Jasmine, the two landed outside a palace hall.

The large door creaked open with a loud clang.

The light from the hall shone on Qi Yuan, casting a long shadow.

Qi Yuan looked expectantly inside, and his pupils contracted at that moment.

Inside the vast palace hall, the smell of blood filled the air, and more than twenty corpses of Yin Gods lay scattered about.

Qi Yuan recognized these Yin Gods; they had appeared at the Original God Sharing Assembly celebration.

But now, these twenty-something Yin Gods had died silently in the Phoenix Palace, their corpses in a tragic state.

One of the bodies hung on a large tree just ten meters away from Qi Yuan.

That corpse had its eyes wide open, as if it had seen something terrifying.

Such expressions were rarely seen on strong beings at the level of Yin God Sovereigns.

Moreover, the scene was extremely bizarre.

Fights among Yin Gods would be dragged into the virtual realm, yet these Yin Gods had died inside the palace hall without reason.

At this moment, a charming voice whispered in Qi Yuan's ear, "Do you like this surprise, my friend?"

Qi Yuan turned to look at Great Sovereign Jasmine, his eyes seeming to carry a look of sorrow and indignation. "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

Qi Yuan was very angry and felt that he had underestimated the treachery of the human heart.

The evil of the human heart knows no bounds!

The atmosphere in this world of cultivation needs to be purified!

Great Sovereign Jasmine enjoyed the reaction of the Blood-Robed Sword God.

She loved to see strong beings with looks of disbelief, anger, or shock in their eyes.

"Just because you were afraid of being rejected and seen by these people, you felt ashamed and killed them out of anger?

You... don't deserve to like me!

I reject your confession!" Qi Yuan was very angry and upset.

He had already figured it out: Great Sovereign Jasmine had known her confession would fail and had killed the spectators in advance.

That way, she wouldn't have the embarrassment of a failed confession.

"Huh?" Great Sovereign Jasmine was stunned.

She didn't understand Qi Yuan's accusation.

Why was he so angry?

Shouldn't he be terrified now?

"Being liked by someone so petty makes me feel sick!" Qi Yuan said angrily.

Great Sovereign Jasmine was completely lost.

At this moment, a man's voice sounded behind Qi Yuan.

"Your actions are... quite amusing, my friend."

Qi Yuan's left eye twitched again, so he turned around and looked towards where the voice came from.

He immediately saw an ancient mirror.

The surface of the ancient mirror was stained with blood, the frame made of bronze with all sorts of strange patterns engraved on it.

[Heavenly Kun Ancient Mirror, a treasure from the Nine Heavens, stained with ominous blood.]

Inside the ancient mirror, there was a man with his back turned to him.

Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback: "Why are you turning your back on me? Are you trying to turn your back on all beings and dominate eternity?"

The figure in the mirror was also taken aback for a moment, and then a voice full of confidence sounded.

"I want to offer you a great fortune. I wonder if you'd like to accept it?"

"What kind of fortune?" Qi Yuan asked, not in any hurry.

"You were born in the Canglan Realm, but you cultivate without poison, so you should know something about the Nine Heavens.

The fortune I offer you is... to take your body and experience the vastness and grandeur of the Nine Heavens!"

The voice of the figure was filled with confidence and a yearning for the Nine Heavens.

"Speak plainly!" Qi Yuan frowned, "People with low emotional intelligence should be mute if they can't speak clearly."

At this point, Great Sovereign Jasmine looked at the Blood-Robed Sword God, her eyes full of affection. "What my master means is that he wants to borrow your body, take it to the Nine Heavens, and enjoy me there.

This is the greatest opportunity of your life, to escape this cage and witness the wonders of the Nine Heavens..."

"Stop your lewd talk. I'm already feeling physically nauseous," Qi Yuan quickly said.

He understood that he was being harassed by a low-class woman.

Seducing an innocent young man right in front of him made him a little angry.

Is there no law left?

"Your body is quite ordinary. If you weren't born in the Canglan Realm, with a body like yours... I wouldn't even bother to look at you.

Being chosen by me is your honor."

The figure in the mirror spoke confidently.

At this moment, Qi Yuan squinted his eyes because he noticed that the environment around him seemed to be changing.

"Am I... inside the ancient mirror?"

It was a dilapidated palace with broken walls everywhere, the ground littered with broken stone pillars and bronze fragments.

In the corners, black bloodstains seemed to have endured the wear and tear of thousands of years.

Ahead, the man stood with his back to him, like a ghost in the night.

Great Sovereign Jasmine knelt devoutly like a loyal dog.

Qi Yuan scanned his surroundings: "This treasure is quite nice."

"You have a good eye. This was a treasure given to me by my father."

"Do you guys often hold parties here?" Qi Yuan took a sniff and frowned, "You defiled this treasure. The space here is so vast. If you moved a supermarket in here and stocked up on supplies, you'd be fine even if the apocalypse came.

But instead, you use it for this? Truly short-sighted." Qi Yuan spoke calmly.

The figure in the mirror paused for a moment, his voice as high and mighty as ever: "Blood-Robed Sword God, now that you have entered the Heavenly Kun Mirror, there is no need to pretend to be crazy. This won't change your fate."

"You're the one pretending to be crazy!" Qi Yuan immediately retorted, "Your whole family has a mental illness certificate. I'm quite normal, thank you. I don't fake it without a certificate!"

"Hehe, after slaying the Four Generals of the Lei Family, you think you're the number one in the Canglan Realm, acting recklessly without restraint?

Unfortunately, your understanding is limited.

Your current confidence seems ridiculous to me.

You have no idea what kind of existence you're facing!" The figure in the mirror spoke, his voice booming.

He had seen people like the Blood-Robed Sword God many times.

Arrogant in one world, thinking they were invincible and had no reverence, full of conceit.

Little did they know, there are always people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens.

"You must also be from the upper realm, right? Your speech is full of arrogance!" Qi Yuan couldn't help but say.

This guy is just like Li Qiuchen, maybe born of the same mother?

"You are quite knowledgeable. My master is from the upper realm and is a descendant of a Yang God!" Great Sovereign Jasmine spoke, her eyes filled with admiration.

A descendant of a Yang God!

In the upper realm, to establish a holy ground, there must be a Yang God presiding.

"Now that you know my master's identity, why aren't you kneeling!" Great Sovereign Jasmine shouted coldly.

"Three days ago, I killed a pretentious guy from the upper realm. Looks like I'll have to kill another one today.

Alas, has the upper realm's atmosphere deteriorated to such an extent?" Qi Yuan sighed, "It seems I need to hurry to the upper realm. The atmosphere there needs the cleansing of the Origin Heavenly Sovereign!"

"Still pretending to be crazy!"

At this moment, the figure in the mirror roared.

The roar contained a soul attack strong enough to shock a mythical-level expert.

With his roar, the figure turned sharply, revealing an extraordinarily handsome face in front of Qi Yuan.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan was furious: "You bastard, you're using my face!"

He was enraged.

The face used by the figure in the mirror was his own.

"Having fallen into my master's soul-stealing technique, do you still want to struggle?" Great Sovereign Jasmine squinted her eyes, full of reverence for the figure in the mirror, "My master will enter your dantian, devour your soul, occupy your sea of consciousness, and take everything from you!"

"As if he deserves it?" Qi Yuan snorted coldly.

"My father personally took action to modify my spirit body.

Even if it's a myth reflecting the heavens, I could easily seize it!"

The figure in the mirror was full of confidence.

Once, in the upper realm, he had unintentionally flirted with the Moon God Ancestor with words.

The Moon God Ancestor killed him with a strike across two heavens.

His father, a Yang God powerhouse, had to spend a huge amount of resources to repair his soul, performing a special modification and placing him within the Heavenly Kun Mirror.

Having offended the Moon God Primogenitor, he couldn't stay in the Nine Heavens.

So, he came to the lower realm to start his journey.

Who knew that the Heavenly Kun Mirror would bring him to the legendary Canglan Realm?

Now, with the Moon God Palace and the Great Desolate Palace at war, with the Moon God Palace falling behind, he thought of returning to the upper realm.

Unfortunately, even his father's power couldn't summon him back from the Canglan Realm.

So, he planned to seize the body of the Blood-Robed Sword God and return to the upper realm.

"A mere six-step Great Sovereign, how dare you resist!"

The figure in the mirror roared, and his spiritual body rushed into Qi Yuan's dantian.

"Then I just won't resist," Qi Yuan thought for a moment and chose not to resist.

Great Sovereign Jasmine's eyes filled with a smile: "A wise man knows his place. To have your body used by my master is the greatest honor of your life."

However, in the next instant, a scream suddenly echoed in the ancient mirror.

"Ah... What is that... No... A demon!"

The consciousness that had just rushed into Qi Yuan's dantian fled out like a rabbit.

That spiritual body, which had only entered for less than a second, came out in tatters, with holes all over. His eyes were filled with terror.

The figure in the mirror was terrified.

He couldn't comprehend what he had just seen.

Countless, over five thousand Nascent Souls! Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Inside the Blood-Robed Sword God's body, there were over five thousand Nascent Souls!

But that wasn't the most frightening part. What terrified him the most was that each of those five thousand Nascent Souls radiated an aura ten times, a hundred times stronger than his own.

He felt like he was not facing Nascent Souls but five thousand beings about to enter the realm of the Yang God!

How could he not be terrified?

"Don't run away!"

"I'm quite interested in your memories too."

"I want to see if the atmosphere in the upper realm is really so rotten!"

Qi Yuan squinted his eyes.

His dantian shook.

The spiritual body of the fleeing figure froze, as if a massive suction force was pulling him back.

In that instant, his spiritual body was sucked back into Qi Yuan's dantian.

"No, please..."

A miserable cry echoed.

The figure was utterly terrified.

"What kind of monster are you?"

The scene before him was beyond his comprehension.

Even if his father were here, he might not understand what he was witnessing.

"I'm not a monster; I'm a pioneer of civilization!"

Qi Yuan squinted his eyes.

"Figure in the mirror, for the sake of cleansing the upper realm's atmosphere, you must die!"

All five thousand Nascent Souls trembled simultaneously, and all the figure's pride and arrogance vanished in that moment.

A tremendous pressure overwhelmed him, making resistance impossible.

His spirit body, modified by a Yang God, shattered into pieces.

A flood of memories poured into Qi Yuan's mind.

He glanced at Great Sovereign Jasmine, his eyes flashing with killing intent: "So, you were the one who killed those people in front of me last time?

You and that scumbag were a good match."

Great Sovereign Jasmine looked at Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with pain and anger: "What did you do to my master? Let him go!"

Her anger quickly turned to pleading, her eyes filled with tears, her clothes half undone: "Let my master go, you can do whatever you want to me, please!"

In her mind, the figure held an extremely important position.

"Die." Qi Yuan had no hesitation. Great Sovereign Jasmine's soul was stripped away at that moment, dying alongside the figure in the mirror.

Qi Yuan's gaze deepened.

"He really was from the upper realm... and he offended the Moon God Primogenitor..."

...

In an unknown place, Qi Yuan's innate seed had already sprouted.

A woman wearing a white coat adjusted her glasses and gently said, "Severe delusions... Severe... Keep this certificate safe; you can get social assistance with it."

The woman placed a certificate marked "Severe Mental Disorder" on the table.

Her eyes showed a hint of pity.

His parents died in battle, and he was raised in a robotic society, only to develop a mental disorder.

This young man named Qi Yuan had a rather tragic life.
