Chapter 449: Finally Defeated Bullhorn Sister!

Supreme Sun Celestial left.

Black Sword looked at Molo Celestial with a sincere expression: “You are from the Molo clan, which shares the same origins as my clan. With the Lynia Transformation approaching, we should move more closely together.”

The One and Only Palace had issued the decree, allowing Taihuang Palace to oversee the Lynia Transformation. Even someone as composed as Black Sword could sense a hint of danger.

Moreover, in this Lynia Transformation, it was said that even a Top Supreme might fall.

The most likely Top Supreme to die were himself, Molo, and Supreme Sun Celestial, no?

The three of them had yet to fully ascend to the Supreme Truth Realm and were still far from being Grand Supreme Truth cultivators.

“No problem,” Qi Yuan responded nonchalantly.

At this moment, Black Sword looked at Molo with a grave expression: “The One and Only Palace has never interfered with the affairs of the Six Heavens. How do you think Taihuang Palace managed to make contact with them and gain the right to oversee this Lynia Transformation?”

“Why?” Qi Yuan wasn’t fond of overthinking.

“In previous Lynia Transformations, there were no cases of Top Supremes dying. So, I suspect that the One and Only Palace was dissatisfied with how the past Transformations were handled.

Taihuang Palace might have made a deal with the One and Only Palace, agreeing to ensure the death of a Top Supreme in exchange for the right to oversee the event.

And the sudden appearance of Supreme Sun Celestial… don’t you think it’s… too coincidental?” Black Sword's gaze was deep as he scrutinized Qi Yuan.

To him, not only was the appearance of Supreme Sun Celestial too sudden, but Molo's arrival was equally abrupt.

Moreover, the Molo clan had always maintained a good relationship with Taihuang Palace. A secret deal between them wouldn’t be surprising.

“So, you suspect that Taihuang Palace raised Supreme Sun Celestial to offer him to the One and Only Palace in exchange for overseeing this Transformation?” Qi Yuan didn’t like using his brain much, but his language comprehension was on point.

“Exactly.” Black Sword's eyes were penetrating, as if trying to see through Qi Yuan’s thoughts.

Of course, he knew that it wouldn’t show anything obvious.

“Would you be interested in returning to the Six Heavens and teaming up with me?” Black Sword extended an invitation.

“No.” Qi Yuan shook his head.

...

“Still no sign of Supreme Ten Suns?”

Within Taihuang Palace's stronghold, a Grand Supreme Truth cultivator sat with a relaxed expression.

Supreme Benevolence Celestial lowered his head, his face solemn: “Apologies, I’ve failed to locate Supreme Ten Suns.

He is very cautious and likely avoided attending the Supreme Truth Forum.”

During the Supreme Truth Forum, Supreme Benevolence Celestial had been tasked with finding Supreme Ten Suns.

“No matter, he’s just a minor pest, only adept at hiding.

Once the Lynia Transformation begins and the Top Supremes patrol the heavens, we’ll use the Star Realm to find his true body. He will have nowhere to hide.”

The One and Only Palace had granted Taihuang Palace’s Top Supremes many privileges.

Before the Lynia Transformation began, Taihuang Palace would use the Star Realm to patrol all realms, detecting every Yang God, ensuring that none escaped participation.

When the time came, Supreme Ten Suns' true identity and location would be revealed.

Then, Taihuang Palace would dispatch Yang God Celestials to capture him.

Hearing this, Supreme Benevolence Celestial finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, he remembered something and spoke softly: “Ghost Heaven plans to attack the two prodigies of Black Demon Abyss—Black Sword and Blood Robe. As for Black Sword…”

Ghost Heaven had long been secretly allied with Taihuang Palace.

“Let them proceed!”

“But… Black Sword has comprehended a Supreme Truth. If he dies now, it could interfere with the Top Supremes’ grand plans,” Supreme Benevolence Celestial hesitated.

The goal of this Lynia Transformation was, naturally, to kill as many Grand Supreme Truths as possible.

If Black Sword were to die now, wouldn’t it be a waste?

“You overestimate Ghost Heaven and underestimate both Black Demon Abyss and Black Sword.

A cultivator who has comprehended a Supreme Truth doesn’t fall easily.

Or do you think he’s like that Blood Robe?” The Grand Supreme Truth from Taihuang Palace remarked.

A prodigy like Blood Robe—so what if he died?

But Black Sword? He was Black Demon Abyss’ most prized asset. How could he not be protected by other Grand Supreme Truths?

Ghost Heaven knew this well, yet they still wanted to try. After all, what if they succeeded?

And if they didn’t, it would only cost a few Yang God lives.

“Some say that Blood Robe is the next Black Sword. Is there any truth to that?” Supreme Benevolence Celestial asked with a complicated expression.

“Hmph, do you think Supreme Truths are so easily comprehended? At best, Blood Robe will become an ordinary Grand Supreme Truth.

But Molo, now that’s an unexpected surprise.

I didn’t expect the Molo clan to hide so deeply and bide their time like this.”

...

Elsewhere, Qi Yuan shed his Molo disguise and returned to his true form.

At the moment, the Supreme Truth Forum had just ended, and many disciples and Yang God Celestials from the various sacred lands had yet to leave.

“Is this your sister? She’s quite attractive,” Purple Fate Xue remarked as she looked at Qi Yi.

Qi Yi had a tall, slender figure with graceful, toned legs. Her waist was slim, without a trace of excess fat—perfect for shadow dancing.

“I’ve got good genes,” Qi Yuan replied seriously.

Although he had always believed that debts incurred through legitimate means didn’t need repaying, Qi Yuan reconsidered and decided he didn’t want to be labeled stingy.

He had prepared some spirit stones, intending to repay Qi Yi.

In fact, he even considered taking her to the Buddhist Kingdom for safety.

After all, regardless of the circumstances, Qi Yi was his “sworn” sister from the game world.

Moreover, after comprehending two Supreme Truths, Qi Yuan could sense a dark cloud looming over him.

Since Qi Yi had a special relationship with him, he didn’t want to put her in danger, so sending her to the Buddhist Kingdom seemed like a safer option.

“She’s your sister—what does that have to do with your ‘genes’?” Purple Fate Xue rolled her eyes. “Anyway, reverse the formation of the Heavenly Gang and—mpphh!”

Mid-sentence, Purple Fate Xue’s eyes widened in shock.

Her throat filled with a strange, dense sensation. She tried to speak, but only muffled sounds emerged.

Mushrooms began to grow rapidly in her mouth, filling it completely in no time.

Clearly, this was Qi Yuan’s doing.

Watching Purple Fate Xue’s reaction, Qi Yuan felt delighted.

In response to her relentless teasing, Qi Yuan, who wasn’t good at arguing back, had no choice but to retaliate with both his Supreme Truths—Absolute Adaptation and Do As I Please!

The combined effect of these two truths resulted in mushrooms continuously sprouting in Purple Fate Xue’s mouth, completely preventing her from speaking.

“What have you done to me? What kind of technique is this… mmmphh… Blood Robe is the most handsome, the most dashing, the most awe-inspiring man… mmmphh…” Purple Fate Xue tried to demand an explanation.

But to her horror, her words transformed into praises for Blood Robe.

“Sigh, Bullhorn Sister, you finally said something truthful,” Qi Yuan said, feeling smug.

Purple Fate Xue was furious, but instead of cursing, her face showed a forced, sweet smile.

Qi Yuan was thoroughly satisfied—these Supreme Truths were incredibly handy.

Still, he was a fair person, so he quickly withdrew the effects of his truths.

Once the mushrooms in Purple Fate Xue’s mouth vanished, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Qi Yuan, no longer playful but wary: “What kind of technique is that?”

At this moment, she no longer dared to provoke him.

She didn’t want to experience that strange sensation again.

“What technique? This is my Supreme Truth!” Qi Yuan declared triumphantly.

“Tch, do you think you’re Black Sword?” Purple Fate Xue pouted.

Qi Yi remained silent, standing quietly beside them.

“Enough of that. I need to prepare for my meeting with Moonlight Celestial. I’ve already sent a request for an audience, and by now… it should have arrived, right?” Qi Yuan mused.

He wanted to meet with Moonlight Celestial to inquire about his master, Ruan Yixi.

“...That’s a Grand Supreme Truth! You think you can meet her just because you want to? Unless you’ve comprehended a Supreme Truth!” Purple Fate Xue retorted stubbornly.

Qi Yuan glanced at her and said thoughtfully: “I think you’re more charming when mushrooms are growing out of your mouth.”

“You…” Purple Fate Xue quickly covered her mouth, looking terrified. “You… you…!”

Without any hesitation, she bolted.

She was already thinking about how she could deal with Blood Robe.

...

Elsewhere, in the Moon Palace stronghold, Moonlight Celestial wore a worried expression.

She had already reported the events of the gathering to Moon God Sovereign, but there had been no response, and she couldn’t shake her unease.

Taihuang Palace had always been Moon Palace’s mortal enemy, and now that they were overseeing the Lynia Transformation, it spelled bad news for Moon Palace.

Moonlight Celestial understood that if this matter leaked, the already shaky morale within Moon Palace would only worsen.

“Moonlight Celestial, a disciple of Black Demon Abyss named Blood Robe requests an audience,” a young woman entered the room, bowing respectfully.

“Blood Robe?” Moonlight Celestial thought for a moment before recalling the name. “No.”

She rejected the request without hesitation.

After all, Blood Robe was merely a talented Yang God. Though somewhat famous, he wasn’t significant enough to warrant an audience with her.

The young woman hesitated and spoke nervously: “But… Molo Celestial sent a letter of recommendation.”

Moonlight Celestial's expression immediately shifted.

Molo Celestial, of the Molo clan, had been at war with Moon Palace.

Yet, here he was, recommending someone to meet her.

The implications were intriguing.

“Let him in,” Moonlight Celestial responded, her voice calm.

A hundred heartbeats later, Qi Yuan entered the grand hall.

Moonlight Celestial remained behind a veil, her form obscured.

“Greetings, Moonlight Celestial!” Qi Yuan, despite his Do As I Please nature, remained courteous.

“Hmm, what is your connection to Molo Celestial that he would recommend you to see me? Do you not know that my Moon Palace is at war with the Molo clan?” Moonlight Celestial’s voice was anything but polite.

In an instant, a powerful pressure swept through the room, and Qi Yuan once again felt the overwhelming might of a Grand Supreme Truth.

Vast as the ocean, its depths unknowable.

“Molo Celestial and I share some connections,” Qi Yuan answered casually.

Moonlight Celestial studied him with a complex expression but didn’t press further.

After all, it wouldn’t befit a Grand Supreme Truth to pursue an argument with a mere Yang God.

“What do you want?” she asked.

“I’ve come to inquire about a matter.” Qi Yuan took out a Moon Token. “This was given to me by my master, the Moon Token. Not long ago, I met a senior from Moon Palace who told me this token was connected to the previous Moon God Sovereign.”

Qi Yuan didn’t hide anything.

After all, it was bound to come out eventually.

Moonlight Celestial would definitely inquire with Elder Moon and learn what Qi Yuan had asked about before.

Moonlight Celestial’s expression tightened at his words.

The Moon Token floated into the air.

“What is your master’s name?” Moonlight Celestial asked, her gaze deep, as if recalling past memories. Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Ruan Yixi.”

Upon hearing the name, Moonlight Celestial’s expression remained unchanged: “I have never heard that name.”

Qi Yuan felt a pang of disappointment.

“This Moon Token belonged to the previous Moon God Sovereign. I do not know what connection your master has to her. As for the previous Moon God Sovereign… she vanished some time ago.” Moonlight Celestial replied.

“What?” Qi Yuan was taken aback.

His instincts told him she wasn’t lying.

“The Lynia Transformation is approaching. You will soon learn of it.

During the last Lynia Transformation, the previous Moon God Sovereign disappeared,” Moonlight Celestial explained.

“Disappeared?”

“Indeed. It is one of the great secrets of the Six Heavens. There are rumors that the previous Moon God Sovereign perished and became a spirit within the One and Only Palace, but these are just rumors.” Moonlight Celestial continued. “As for your master, Ruan Yixi… I suspect she may have been the previous Moon God Sovereign’s attendant.”

Back then, when the previous Moon God Sovereign vanished, her attendant also disappeared.

Moonlight Celestial didn’t think Ruan Yixi and the previous Moon God Sovereign were the same person.

How could a powerful figure like the previous Moon God Sovereign simply vanish and reappear as someone else’s master?

So, it was more likely that Ruan Yixi was the previous Moon God Sovereign’s attendant, and the name could be false.

The previous Moon God Sovereign, though a Grand Supreme Truth, had not comprehended a Supreme Truth.

Qi Yuan absorbed this information with mixed feelings.

He still had no concrete news about his master.

In truth, he was worried and filled with speculation.

He had arrived in the Six Heavens and encountered people from Moon Palace.

If his master were here, she would surely come to see him.

Could it be that she was trapped?

Or perhaps… there was some other secret she couldn’t reveal?

“I didn’t expect you to have such ties to Moon Palace,” Moonlight Celestial remarked.

Suddenly, her expression shifted drastically.

She had just contacted Elder Gathering Moon.

Elder Gathering Moon had informed her of what had happened in the Demon Abyss when Qi Yuan met with Moonlight Maiden Jin Li and had his conversation with Gathering Moon Celestial.

According to Qi Yuan's account, he had subdued Molo Celestial, infiltrated the Demon Abyss as Molo, and met Jin Li.

This meant that the Molo Celestial everyone knew was actually Qi Yuan.

“You… you are Molo!” Moonlight Celestial’s heart trembled as joy flashed across her face.

Qi Yuan wasn’t surprised by this revelation.

Given how much he had revealed, Moonlight Celestial would have had to be pretty dim not to figure it out.

“I hope you can keep this a secret,” Qi Yuan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Moonlight Celestial’s heart confirmed it.

Originally, Molo Celestial’s rise within the Molo clan, which had been at odds with Moon Palace, had spelled disaster for Moon Palace.

Now, to learn that Molo was actually Qi Yuan—Blood Robe—a figure tied to the former Moon God Sovereign and connected to Moon Palace, was a tremendous relief.

How could she not be overjoyed?

Since the Supreme Truth Forum began, she hadn’t heard a single piece of good news.

This, however, was the best news she’d received, and her spirits lifted.

“You needn’t worry. I will not speak a word of this,” Moonlight Celestial assured him, her gaze filled with approval. “Jin Li—that girl, Moon Maiden—I’ve seen her before. I never expected her to have such a good eye!”

Moonlight Celestial stepped out from behind the veil, a smile bright on her face.

“When will you marry her and make her your Dao companion?”

“Uh… Jin Li is still the Moon Maiden. She needs to meet with the Moon God Sovereign and relinquish her title before she can be with me,” Qi Yuan explained earnestly.

Having comprehended two Supreme Truths, he felt more confident in his ability to protect himself.

Against Taihuang Palace or even a Grand Supreme Truth, he no longer felt as if death was his only option.

Moreover, Ning Tao and his wife, the Golden Canary, were still helping him refine the Stellar Golden Core!

His strength was increasing rapidly.

“These are mere trifles,” Moonlight Celestial waved a dismissive hand. “If you’re willing to marry Jin Li, she can relinquish her title as Moon Maiden immediately.”

Then, as if thinking of something, she added, “Or she could keep the title.”
