Chapter 113: Shock of the White Emperor’s Disciple
How can the origin be transmitted? It's impossible.
Moreover, this so-called big brother knows nothing about the origin! The plan's first step was already infeasible, not to mention the rest, which was utter nonsense.
Yet he had believed it.
"Who says the origin can't be transmitted?" Qi Yuan said softly, "Chen Huan, if I teach you the origin and help you become a supreme being, will you serve me for a hundred years?"
"Not just a hundred years, even a thousand would be fine!" Chen Huan replied without hesitation.
"Swear on your heart demon," Qi Yuan said calmly.
"Are you serious?" Chen Huan stared at Qi Yuan, realizing he didn't seem to be joking.
"Yes." Qi Yuan nodded, speaking mysteriously, "The opportunity is right in front of you; it depends on whether you can grasp it."
"Swear? Who's afraid of that!" Chen Huan, with his nonchalant personality, didn't hesitate.
"I, Chen Huan, swear on my heart demon, if the warden of Wugui City successfully teaches me the origin and helps me become a supreme being, I will serve him for a hundred years.
If I break this vow, may my heart demon consume me and cause my body to be destroyed by a demon!"
In Liufeng Realm, swearing on one's heart demon was the most solemn oath.
Breaking it would indeed cause the heart demon to erupt, leading to an early demise.
"Big brother, I've sworn. Now you should guide me to become a supreme being." Chen Huan shrugged nonchalantly.
At this moment, Qi Yuan's clothes inexplicably turned blood-red, a robe draping over him.
A mysterious aura surrounded him, and although he stood beside Chen Huan, it felt as if he was in a lofty heavenly palace.
Surprised and then excited, Chen Huan heard a voice like ancient gods whispering.
"The essence of human-demon power lies in the seven sins: greed, arrogance..."
"Transient winds do not last a morning, sudden rains do not last a day, the human heart does not end..."
"To gain, one must first give..."
The ethereal voice filled Chen Huan's ears, saturating his soul.
He seemed to be in the clouds and deep underground.
In the vast sky, the whispers fell on him like sweet dew.
His dry body became moist, and for the first time, his parched soul was full.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes, radiating a terrifying light.
"I... have understood!"
Chen Huan looked at Qi Yuan, now dressed in a blood-red robe, feeling mixed emotions he couldn't describe.
Or rather, he couldn't imagine.
How could the warden of Wugui City understand the origin? And even if he did, how could he teach it, and how could others comprehend it?
Especially through teaching.
Even the White Emperor and the Supreme Sovereign couldn't teach the origin so that others would comprehend it.
Could it be... that the warden of Wugui City was a reincarnated great power? But even a great power couldn’t teach the origin, right? "How do you feel?"
Qi Yuan's voice pulled Chen Huan from his thoughts.
Looking at Qi Yuan, the blood robe was gone, and he had returned to the familiar appearance.
The feeling of awe and respect lessened.
Suddenly, Chen Huan knelt with a thud: "Dad, Dad, I am your long-lost son!"
He hugged Qi Yuan's leg.
"Get lost!" Qi Yuan kicked Chen Huan away, "Hurry and become a supreme being to complete my plan!"
Qi Yuan vanished, leaving Chen Huan alone on the city wall, feeling desolate.
"What a pity... I missed the chance to recognize him as my father." Chen Huan was disappointed, like realizing too late that a lottery ticket he used as toilet paper was worth millions.
"But..." Chen Huan’s spirits lifted, "If I can't be the son of a great person, being his henchman isn’t bad either!"
"I never thought, at just eleven hundred years old, I would become a supreme being, and not just an ordinary one!"
Chen Huan was thrilled.
The origin Qi Yuan taught him was different from what ordinary supreme beings understood.
He didn't know how others experienced the origin but knew it was different.
Comprehending the origin barely gave birth to the lowest level of origin divine abilities.
But Chen Huan felt he had many paths to choose from, each a grand avenue!
He wasn’t a low-level supreme being but one with great potential! ...
In the endless Blood Sea, it churned endlessly.
A whisper echoed: "A familiar feeling, a déjà vu."
Blood energy surged, and various demons struggled in the Blood Sea.
The voice continued.
"Little Crocodile, take the sword to the Hundred Thousand and Eight Thousand Cities.
If you meet someone... or something, and the sword flashes red, bring him here.
Treat him... better than me."
The voice faded into the Blood Sea.
A giant crocodile flew out of the Blood Sea, carrying a sword, and vanished.
The supreme beings guarding the Blood Sea also heard the Supreme Sovereign's voice.
Their eyes filled with confusion and shock.
Especially the words: treat him... better than me.
Who had appeared in the Hundred Thousand and Eight Thousand Cities? From the Supreme Sovereign's tone, that person seemed... quite remarkable.
Meanwhile, in the White Emperor's Palace, a light flashed.
The inner hall, unopened for a thousand years, opened, and a white crane flew out, heading for the Hundred Thousand and Eight Thousand Cities.
All the supreme beings were surprised to see this.
What had happened for the White Emperor's crane... to fly out?
The white crane hadn’t appeared for thousands of years.
Even the decision between the North and the South didn’t make it show up.
Messages spread from near the White Emperor's Palace, reaching all corners of Liufeng Realm.
Numerous supreme beings turned their gaze to the Hundred Thousand and Eight Thousand Cities.
The whole Liufeng Realm was in turmoil.
...
Zzz!
The sword clashed with Supreme Yu Bai's chest, an origin shield forming.
The powerful sword, capable of easily killing land mythology cultivators, felt like it struck the hardest steel.
Qi Yuan’s prized sword, enhanced by a magical robe, only made a hole in her clothes.
Through the hole, a patch of snow-white skin was visible.
The sword didn't even leave a red mark on her soft skin.
Supreme Yu Bai was stunned, not expecting the opponent to pierce her clothes.
Though the sword didn’t harm her, piercing her clothes was surprising enough.
She was shocked, and Qi Yuan even more so: "You’re... too tough?
If you’re married, won’t your husband have trouble getting through your defense if he’s not a supreme being?"
Supreme Yu Bai's face showed anger: "How dare you insult me, you brat, you court death!"
A mere land mythology cultivator daring to challenge a supreme being.
If word got out, she would be laughed at in the North.
Enemies would mock her openly!
She was furious: "Let me show you what a supreme being is!"
Supreme Yu Bai attacked, using a powerful origin divine ability.
In an instant, Qi Yuan saw a slender needle shooting towards him.
The needle radiated intense killing intent.
Qi Yuan stayed calm, eyes fixed on the needle.
He lifted his broken sword and shouted, "Chen Huan, the origin divine ability has three layers, attack her Danxin Point, Xiaokong Point..."
Following Qi Yuan's voice, Chen Huan, who had been hiding nearby, finally acted.
He followed Qi Yuan’s instructions precisely, unleashing his origin divine ability towards Supreme Yu Bai.
Supreme Yu Bai smirked: "I've been waiting for you!"
She had sensed someone else hiding nearby.
Otherwise, why would a mere land mythology cultivator dare to attack her?
Using a land mythology cultivator as bait for a supreme sneak attack, they underestimated her.
Three slender needles appeared, targeting Chen Huan.
Chen Huan’s face darkened, feeling intense danger. He had just broken through to the supreme realm, unsure how to respond, fearing he might mess up Qi Yuan's plan.
Most importantly, Supreme Yu Bai's origin divine ability also targeted Qi Yuan, a land mythology cultivator. Could he withstand it?
At that moment, Qi Yuan's voice reached him: "Trapped in the sky, thinking of a white crane..."
Hearing this, Chen Huan’s face lit up with joy.
"I understand!"
Supreme Yu Bai's terrifying attack now seemed full of flaws to him.
He was excited.
His figure dodged Supreme Yu Bai's origin divine ability, appearing behind her.
Myriad Star River!
In Qi Yuan’s teachings, he envisioned a river of stars.
Never having seen stars, he longed for them.
He turned it into his origin divine ability.
The powerful ability struck Supreme Yu Bai's body.
Her face showed disbelief.
Qi Yuan's voice came again.
"Bind three inches, settle the heart!"
Chen Huan didn’t hesitate, following Qi Yuan's instructions, pouring origin divine ability into Supreme Yu Bai’s body.
For the first time, Supreme Yu Bai showed fear.
"Who are you, why... do you know my origin divine ability so well?"
It wasn’t just familiarity, they knew it better than she did.
"I am the one who will kill you!"
Qi Yuan appeared before her, holding the broken sword, eyes filled with killing intent.
"You..." Supreme Yu Bai was puzzled.
Her origin divine ability should have easily killed a land mythology cultivator, why was he still alive?
"Die!" Qi Yuan didn’t waste words, stabbing his sword into Supreme Yu Bai's body.
With her origin divine ability sealed by Chen Huan, she couldn’t defend, dying from Qi Yuan's strike.
"Finally, it softened!" Qi Yuan was pleased, holding the broken sword.
Previously unable to pierce her, now without the origin shield, he easily broke through.
A flood of experience points flowed in.
Qi Yuan felt elated.
His experience bar soared.
In no time, it stopped at level 119, close to level 120, and another chance to comprehend the origin.
Qi Yuan’s determination grew as he looked at the surrounding land mythology cultivators, slicing through them, leaving dozens of bodies.
He couldn’t kill supreme beings, but land mythology cultivators were easy prey.
Looking at the blood-soaked Chen Huan, he asked, "How are you?"
"A bit injured, but alright." Chen Huan felt unreal.
A supreme being... was so easily killed?
With Qi Yuan’s help, he exploited Supreme Yu Bai's origin divine ability flaws, directly attacking her core.
But the final clash left him injured.
Despite this, he was excited, ignoring his wounds.
"If you’re fine, let’s go. We’ll slaughter the other demon caves!" Qi Yuan was calm.
He needed to kill more demons, gather experience, and reach level 120.
"Alright!" Chen Huan didn’t hesitate, now also driven by the thrill of battle, eager to vent.
He had been influenced by Qi Yuan, now addicted to killing.
Previously, after killing, he would flee, never daring to attack a second cave, fearing being trapped.
"Let’s go!"
They quickly left the Liuchuan Demon Cave, heading to other caves.
Meanwhile, in the Thousand Cities, the North’s Demon Controllers’ base, the Purple Taoist opened his eyes, shocked: "Supreme Yu Bai... is dead?"
