Chapter 268: Is Qi Yuan Dead?

The Dark Sun resided in the You Tian Domain.

The Great Sovereigns of the You Tian Domain had some connections, more or less, with the Dark Sun.

Some of the Yin Gods present were aware of this fact.

“I believe that you all should avoid getting involved in the conflict between the Dark Sun and the Blood-Robed Sword God, otherwise... the events of hundreds of thousands of years ago may repeat!” the Head of the Divine Flower Society spoke with a heavy tone.

The Yin Gods present, upon hearing this, all had complicated expressions.

Facing the great calamity, the many Yin Gods of the Canglan Realm had always let themselves be reaped.

However, hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a supreme powerhouse who led an army of Yin Gods to launch a terrifying battle against the great calamity.

That battle was also known as the most hopeful battle in the history of the Canglan Realm.

That powerhouse had even broken through to the Yang God Realm.

But unfortunately...

The outcome was tragic.

None of the Yin Gods who participated in the battle survived.

These Yin Gods were naturally aware of what had happened back then.

The over one hundred Yin Gods remained silent, and none dared to speak.

Then, the Great Sovereign who had spoken earlier, his hair white as snow, chuckled and said, “What? Did all the Yin Gods with guts in the Canglan Realm die in that battle three hundred thousand years ago?”

Great Sovereign Youhua's words caused the Yin Gods or Great Sovereigns present to feel a sense of shame.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

Because they were truly afraid.

Back then, that supreme powerhouse had already reached the Yang God Realm and led nearly two-thirds of the Yin Gods of the Canglan Realm to attack the great calamity.

The result... was a miserable end.

All the Yin Gods who participated in the battle died.

“The Blood-Robed Sword God is only facing the Dark Sun, not the great calamity itself. Are you all afraid?” Great Sovereign Youhua spoke, his gaze firm. “Three hundred thousand years ago, my father fell in the great calamity.

Now... haha, my wife is pregnant, and I... am no longer afraid!”

Great Sovereign Youhua's bloodline was special, making it difficult for him to have offspring.

Three hundred thousand years ago, his father went to slay the great calamity, but he had not yet had any children.

To ensure the continuation of his bloodline, he had to stay behind.

Now, he already had offspring, and his wife was pregnant again, so he had nothing to fear.

“I am too far from the You Tian Domain and cannot come, but I am willing to offer my cultivation techniques to assist the Blood-Robed Sword God!” a female Great Sovereign spoke up.

“I am willing too!”

Many Great Sovereigns spoke up, all expressing their support for the Yuan Shen Sharing Society.

Last time they were afraid, but this time... how could they be afraid again? Seeing this, Great Sovereign Wu Jun’s face lit up with joy, and he cupped his hands, saying, “Thank you, fellow Daoists!”

The Yin Gods of the You Tian Domain chose to remain silent at this moment.

The Head of the Divine Flower Society did not speak, and neither did these people express their stance.

At this time, the Grand Palace Master of the Qiu Dao Palace spoke, “In a few days, the Blood-Robed Sword God is supposed to arrive at the You Tian Domain. Head of the Divine Flower Society, you...”

But before he could finish his words, the Head of the Divine Flower Society interrupted him.

“Hmph, you are not in the You Tian Domain and do not face the threat of the Dark Sun, so it’s easy for you to speak.

If I help this Blood-Robed Sword God today and he dies in the Dark Sun, then when the Dark Sun comes to settle accounts, they will naturally come for me.” The Head of the Divine Flower Society waved his sleeve, looking extremely angry. “If the Blood-Robed Sword God had any sense, he should not provoke the Dark Sun and stir up trouble for no reason.

Forgive me, but I will not be attending this gathering today!”

After the Head of the Divine Flower Society finished speaking, his figure disappeared.

The rest of the Yin Gods in the You Tian Domain also hurriedly excused themselves.

“Junior's strength is weak, and I do not wish to get involved in such matters.”

“Farewell.”

The remaining Yin Gods, seeing this, looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Seeing this, Great Sovereign Youhua couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, human nature...”

Even though the Canglan Realm was like a pig farm, there were still some who wanted to be the leading pig, currying favor with their masters.

...

In the You Tian Domain, at Fenglei Valley, which belonged to the Dark Sun.

The projection of the Head of the Divine Flower Society appeared, and he looked at the mechanical bird in front of him, his eyes showing a humble expression.

The Head of the Divine Flower Society, who was so dignified and impressive outside, was now groveling in the dust.

A hint of anger flashed in the mechanical bird's eyes. “Coming to bother me over such a trivial matter while I'm in seclusion, where is Li Qiu Shen?”

The Head of the Divine Flower Society hunched over. “Lord Li dispatched the Lei Family's Four Generals, but they have not returned.”

“Useless! They must have failed and are afraid to show their faces!” The mechanical bird said angrily, “If I see him in the future, I will skin him alive!”

The Head of the Divine Flower Society trembled even more.

The lords in Fenglei Valley were more terrifying, one after another.

Li Qiu Shen only liked to humiliate high-level cultivators, while this lord in front of him liked to torture both high-level cultivators and ordinary people.

Moreover, he had a hobby of skinning people alive.

The Head of the Divine Flower Society had once sent some cultivators to this lord for his amusement.

Near Fenglei Valley, there was also a group of mortals raised, and from time to time, some would be sent into Fenglei Valley to be skinned alive by this lord.

The old Purple Mansion cultivator looked at Qi Yuan and then said slowly, "Senior, this junior actually comes from the Central Heaven Domain!"

Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback. "A city dweller?"

The Central Heaven Domain was the true center of the Canglan Realm and also where the great calamity resided.

It was rumored that 99% of the Mythical-level cultivators in the Canglan Realm resided in the Central Heaven Domain.

The Purple Mansion cultivator continued, "Actually... the Canglan Realm has never ceased its resistance against the great calamity.

In the Central Heaven Domain, nearly all the Mythical-level cultivators of the Canglan Realm have gathered. These Mythical-level powerhouses have formed an organization called 'Canglan.'

This junior is a member of Canglan, sent to the You Tian Domain to monitor the Divine Flower Society and the Dark Sun.

Senior, after eliminating the Lei Family's Four Generals, your strength is formidable.

Senior, why not... temporarily refrain from attacking the Dark Sun and instead go to the Central Heaven Domain?

The Mythical-level cultivators in Canglan might join forces to help you ascend to the Mythical level."

The old Purple Mansion cultivator's words had multiple layers of meaning, and he spoke quite tactfully.

He feared the Blood-Robed Sword God would perish in the Dark Sun.

Thus, he tried to entice Qi Yuan to go to the Central Heaven Domain with the opportunity to reach the Mythical level and join forces with the Mythical cultivators of Canglan.

"Thank you for your kindness, but for now... my strength is still low, and I am far from reaching the Mythical level.

I will first destroy the Dark Sun, then consider whether to go to the Central Heaven Domain," Qi Yuan directly refused.

He was currently only at the Nascent Soul True Monarch level.

Although he was a top figure in Da Shang, in the Canglan Realm, his cultivation level was not that significant.

Hearing this, the Purple Mansion cultivator sighed sadly.

Actually, Canglan had not communicated with him for a long time, and he was essentially out of contact.

All that he had just said was entirely out of his suggestions and good intentions.

Seeing that he could not persuade Qi Yuan, the old Purple Mansion cultivator said, "I hope to see you destroy the Dark Sun and bring light back to the Canglan Realm!"

He did not try to persuade him any further.

"Since you're here, do you have a map of Fenglei Valley?"

"Senior, be careful!" The old Purple Mansion cultivator, full of emotion, handed the map to Qi Yuan.

Obtaining the map to Fenglei Valley from the old Purple Mansion cultivator, Qi Yuan set off alone towards Fenglei Valley.

About an hour later, Qi Yuan stopped in a forest.

Ahead, the forest was dense, and the spiritual energy was weak, almost like that of a mortal country in the Da Shang Kingdom.

Because of the thin spiritual energy, there were no cultivation sects within a thousand-mile radius, only a few mortal countries.

Even if an ordinary cultivator from You Tian Domain came here, they wouldn't expect that within this forest lay the most terrifying force of the You Tian Domain—the Dark Sun.

At this moment, Qi Yuan stood within the forest, his gaze calm.

“Damn Fenglei Valley, if I want to get inside, I have to wait here for four days!”

According to the old Purple Mansion cultivator, there were only two ways to enter Fenglei Valley.

Fenglei Valley was not located in the main world of the Canglan Realm but was within a secret realm, and entering it was rather complicated.

The first way was to gain entry through Fenglei Valley from the inside.

However, when Qi Yuan first arrived, he had cursed here for several minutes, yet Fenglei Valley remained tightly shut.

In fact, the Head of the Divine Flower Society inside Fenglei Valley naturally knew that Qi Yuan had arrived.

But he had just obtained control over the puppets and wasn't yet familiar with them, so he wasn’t in a hurry to let the Blood-Robed Sword God in.

Although the Blood-Robed Sword God hadn't left his name on the Mythical Monument, what if he did possess Mythical-level strength?

To be cautious, he did not immediately open the entrance to the secret realm to let Qi Yuan in.

At this moment, Qi Yuan could only use the second method to enter.

Forced entry.

Forced entry required him to play chess on the chessboard ahead for four days straight.

After four days, regardless of whether he won or lost, the entrance to Fenglei Valley would open.

At this moment, Qi Yuan sat on a stone bench, his eyes closed, his mind integrating and analyzing the cultivation techniques he had obtained to perfect the "Qi Yuan Sutra."

His hand occasionally dropped a piece onto the chessboard.

Dressed in a blood-red robe, he now appeared refined and elegant as he quietly played chess.

A few farmers gathering firewood on the mountain watched Qi Yuan from a distance, their eyes filled with curiosity, but they dared not approach this strange man.

After some time, with several hundred pieces already placed on the board, Qi Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

"Qi Yuan is dead?"

Indeed, his character, formed by the Xiantian Seed, had died suddenly.

He sat on the stone bench, somewhat speechless, itching to enter the game to see what had happened.

"This game starts off... with a death... How am I supposed to play?"

At this moment, in the unknown world.

A brand-new grave had been built, and Qi Yuan’s body was buried instead of cremated.

On his tombstone, there was even something resembling a QR code; scanning it would reveal the biography of his life.

In front of the tombstone, there was only a single bouquet of flowers, looking particularly desolate.
