Chapter 262: His Name Isn’t on the Monument of Legends
Seeing this scene, Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"These Yin Gods are all so shy and introverted. They didn't even want me to send them off; they just ran away."
Great Sovereign Wu Jun seemed not to hear Qi Yuan's words. He gritted his teeth, "Short-sighted fools!"
These Yin Gods treated the Blood-Robed Sword God like a plague.
They talked about confronting the great calamity, but as soon as the minions of the calamity arrived, they all ran away.
He looked at the Seven Wounds Elder with a complicated expression. "You didn't leave with them?"
Aside from the Seven Wounds Elder, all the Yin Gods had left, without exception.
"I'm on the verge of death anyway, I've lived long enough. To see the minions of the great calamity before I die, I have no regrets," the Seven Wounds Elder coughed and answered truthfully.
Feng Jun squinted his eyes, looking at Qi Yuan. "With the arrival of Dark Sun, Blood-Robed Sword God, you should... leave this place."
He was thinking of Qi Yuan's safety.
The Four Generals of the Lei Clan could even kill the Great Sovereign of Red Flames. Unless the Blood-Robed Sword God returned to the Moonwatching Continent, he would certainly die.
Qi Yuan did not answer Feng Jun’s suggestion but asked the question he had asked earlier, the one that no one had answered, "How many techniques does Dark Sun have?"
He was thinking about Dark Sun's techniques.
Great Sovereign Wu Jun shook his head.
He had never even heard of Dark Sun before, so naturally, he didn't know how many techniques Dark Sun had.
"They have many powerful individuals, so they probably have a lot of techniques as well," Great Sovereign Wu Jun reasonably speculated.
"Where is Dark Sun's headquarters?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.
These Yin Gods were so afraid of Dark Sun.
Dark Sun is also a minion of the great calamity; they could even have the head of the Mythic Flower Association silence him.
There must be many strong people in Dark Sun.
And many techniques too.
Why not take this opportunity to rob Dark Sun?
"I'm afraid only those within Dark Sun would know that," the Seven Wounds Elder replied.
"Looks like I'll have to wait for Dark Sun's people to come," Qi Yuan shrugged.
The Seven Wounds Elder also showed a suspicious expression, "Senior, are you not returning to the Moonwatching Continent?"
He naturally assumed that upon hearing that the people from Dark Sun were coming, the Blood-Robed Sword God would return to the Moonwatching Continent.
After all, the Moonwatching Continent was the Blood-Robed Sword God’s home turf.
"Why would I return to the Moonwatching Continent? I'm originally from the Canglan Realm.
Now, I still need to wait for the people from Dark Sun to come. They are my white moonlight, second only to Great Sovereign Jasmine in my heart."
Qi Yuan answered seriously.
Great Sovereign Jasmine, with her Mythical Treasure, was his first choice of white moonlight.
The Four Generals of the Lei Clan from Dark Sun temporarily ranked second.
The Seven Wounds Elder was at a loss for words.
Great Sovereign Wu Jun remained silent as well.
In the days that followed, the whole of Qinghong City was stifling, with a storm brewing.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
Great Sovereign Jasmine of the Phoenix Palace also found an excuse to temporarily leave Qinghong City.
Obviously, they were avoiding Dark Sun, avoiding the Four Generals of the Lei Clan, to avoid getting involved.
At this moment, Great Sovereign Jasmine lazily watched the person in the mirror and smiled.
"This time, you guessed wrong. The Blood-Robed Sword God did not return to the Moonwatching Continent."
Not long ago, the person in the mirror had said that in the face of the Four Generals of the Lei Clan, the Blood-Robed Sword God would flee back to the Moonwatching Continent.
The battle would happen on the Moonwatching Continent.
But surprisingly, the Blood-Robed Sword God stayed at the Seeking Dao Palace and chose to face the Four Generals of the Lei Clan.
"He certainly is surprising," said the figure in the mirror.
"According to your logic, since he chose to stay at the Seeking Dao Palace, and he will clash with the Four Generals of the Lei Clan, does that mean he will win?" Great Sovereign Jasmine smiled.
"Not at all," said the figure in the mirror. "He will still lose.
The Four Generals of the Lei Clan were once mythical beings.
Now their foundations have been taken away, leaving only their shells. They have been tempered day and night, and their strength has already reached the pinnacle of the Six Steps to Heaven.
Four at the pinnacle of the Six Steps to Heaven are enough to crush everything.
The Blood-Robed Sword God... he is not a myth.
Otherwise, why isn’t his name on the Monument of Legends?"
The Monument of Legends is the supreme treasure of the Canglan Realm.
It stands in the Central Heaven Domain, recording the names of every mythical strongman in the Canglan Realm.
Anyone who steps into the mythical realm will be sensed by the Monument of Legends, and their name will be inscribed on it.
The Monument of Legends is also called the Monument of the Dead.
Because none of the mythical strongmen inscribed on the Monument of Legends have survived a great calamity.
Now, the mythical figures still alive whose names are on the Monument of Legends are very few. They rarely appear in the human world, constantly hiding their aura, seemingly trying to avoid the calamity coming in hundreds of years.
However, under the great calamity, ordinary Great Sovereigns may have a chance to survive, but... as for the mythical ones, no one has ever seen one survive.
Since the Blood-Robed Sword God's name isn’t on the Monument of Legends, he is clearly not a myth.
But a man doesn’t bother with such trivialities, and Qi Yuan couldn’t be bothered to think further.
"What does it matter to think so far ahead about something three years later?"
He had already learned from Shen Wushen that the flow of time between the upper realms and the Canglan Realm was the same, one-to-one.
Qi Yuan didn’t dwell on it further, instead looking expectantly at Shen Wushen, "You did well; I will guide you carefully... the techniques?"
The last sentence was Qi Yuan’s real intention.
"I’m penniless in the upper realms now; I could only exchange for some techniques," Shen Wushen answered truthfully.
He even had to borrow money and divine techniques from Fairy Lian Mei to exchange for quite a few techniques.
He also took on some tasks, hoping Qi Yuan could indeed solve some of them.
Otherwise, he would end up cultivating while in debt.
Heavily in debt.
"No worries, if you run out of money, just borrow more," Qi Yuan said. "Think of it this way: when you're in the Nascent Soul stage, you might borrow a hundred thousand spirit stones. But once you reach the Purple Mansion stage, earning a hundred thousand spirit stones is easy. You can easily pay it back.
Then, in the Purple Mansion stage, borrow a million, and when you’re a Yin God, repay it!"
Shen Wushen was taken aback for a moment. "What you’re saying makes a lot of sense."
He said this and handed the jade slip to Qi Yuan.
"This time there are two divine techniques, seventy heavenly techniques, and many others not worth mentioning.
Among them, one divine technique can be shared, but the other cannot," Shen Wushen said.
Wow! Usually, it was others who gasped when hearing something from Qi Yuan. Today, it was Qi Yuan who gasped.
Shen Wushen was a true tycoon.
So many techniques, more profitable than the celebration a few days ago! "If you were a woman, I might have to marry you!" Qi Yuan accepted the techniques, extremely excited, "It's a pity I can’t go to the upper realms... otherwise, with so many... white moonlights, my dream lovers!"
His dream lovers were all in the upper realms, within sight but out of reach.
As Qi Yuan spoke, he uploaded the techniques to the jade slip of the Original God Sharing Society as Shen Wushen had instructed.
Especially that divine technique which could be shared; he also uploaded it.
Moreover, to attract attention, he made one percent of the divine technique available for viewing.
Any cultivator who saw that one percent of the divine technique would likely be eager to see the rest.
After all, it was a divine technique.
Even Qi Yuan, when he first saw a divine technique, was captivated by its profundity.
A divine technique is a method created by a Yang God, representing the foundation of a Yang God.
In the Canglan Realm, no divine technique had ever been circulated.
Having a divine technique in the Original God Sharing Society would undoubtedly make it the brightest star in the Canglan Realm.
"Friend, these are the tasks I have taken on. I still have to trouble you," Shen Wushen said.
He handed over thirty-four jade slips, which contained the tasks he had taken on.
Currently, his task points within the sect were low, so he could not take on many tasks.
He had only taken on these thirty-four.
Still, if these thirty-four tasks could be solved six or seven, he wouldn’t have lost too much.
After all, these tasks were all challenging.
"Oh, let me take a look," Qi Yuan had long decided to help Shen Wushen with the sect tasks.
Then, Shen Wushen could use the task rewards to exchange for techniques for him.
In Qi Yuan's eyes, Shen Wushen was just a tool.
His tool in the upper realms.
Qi Yuan took the jade slips and casually pulled one out.
He pondered, "The Great Sovereign of Hua City... The Profound Art of Heavenly Contracts?"
Seeing this, Shen Wushen quickly said, "This task was issued by a Great Sovereign at the pinnacle of the Six Steps to Heaven. It probably requires at least a mythical figure to solve. Perhaps look at another one first?"
This task was one of the few high-level tasks he could take on.
"No need, this problem isn’t hard either. Give me half an hour, and it’ll be done, no problem." Qi Yuan said seriously.
To him, it truly was a minor issue.
He had written to Jin Li for several days.
Shen Wushen paused for a moment, somewhat surprised, "Half an hour?"
This task was extremely difficult.
His master was familiar with the Great Sovereign of Hua City and had said that even a mythical figure following the same path would take thousands of years to solve this problem.
Even a Yang God couldn’t solve it in a short time.
But Qi Yuan said... half an hour? Seeing that Shen Wushen seemed unconvinced, Qi Yuan casually explained, "I have a lot of Nascent Souls, so it's normal for me to be fast."
The Nascent Souls in Qi Yuan’s body almost encompassed all the gods of the Heavenly Court, even including ancient demon gods.
He had all kinds of systems and various paths.
He had visualized the Three Purities, from which the Dao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things.
It could be said that every path he had walked.
The current technique had some overlap with his path.
Coupled with his eyes that could see hidden information.
Such a problem was really not a problem.
