Chapter 415: I Despise Snitches the Most!

“You need a Supreme Truth realm expert to establish a sacred ground in the Sixth Heaven,” Hong Yu continued, explaining to Qi Yuan.

In the Fifth Heaven and below, having a Yang God was enough to start a sacred ground. But the Sixth Heaven was different. Only those with a Supreme Truth realm expert could establish one.

Because of this, there were fewer sacred grounds in the Sixth Heaven than in the other realms.

Ordinary Yang Gods couldn't stay in the Sixth Heaven for long unless they joined a sacred ground that had a Supreme Truth realm Yang God.

“Why do Yang Gods in the Sixth Heaven seem so selfish? Why don’t they allow other Yang Gods to go there?” Qi Yuan asked, puzzled.

It felt like the ones who got rich were blocking others from getting in.

“These are just rumors, but it’s said that the Sixth Heaven doesn’t really exist. It was created by Supreme Truth realm experts, and it can’t support too many Yang Gods,” Hong Yu explained.

“So Yang Gods have no dignity, huh? Like homeless people—they can't stay in the Sixth Heaven for long before getting kicked out,” Qi Yuan muttered, sharing his thoughts.

“That’s why, if you want to settle in the Sixth Heaven, you must join one of the sacred grounds. But even the sacred grounds with Supreme Truth realm experts don’t accept just any Yang God. Black Abyss only accepts those with its bloodline! And that bloodline comes from their creation artifact! Black Abyss beings aren’t native to the Immortal World but emerged from a creation artifact!” Hong Yu said gravely.

“Is it the same for the Molo Clan?” Qi Yuan asked, surprised.

“Yes!” Hong Yu nodded. “The Molo Clan doesn’t have any Supreme Truth realm experts, but they also emerged from a creation artifact, so they are barely considered part of Black Abyss. But one day, the Molo Well devoured part of Black Abyss’s ancestral blood. The Yang Gods of Black Abyss were furious and almost destroyed the Molo Well! However, they couldn’t retrieve the ancestral blood, so the Molo Clan was banished to the Fifth Heaven.

Without Black Abyss, the Molo Clan couldn’t produce any Supreme Truth realm experts. It became difficult for even Truth realm experts to emerge, so they’ve been desperate to return to Black Abyss!” Hong Yu explained in detail.

The Black Abyss’s Ancestral Blood was the origin of all Black Abyss cultivators.

It was the key to Black Abyss’s ability to produce Supreme Truth realm experts.

But with part of it devoured, Black Abyss lost the potential to create more Supreme Truth realm experts, which enraged them.

Thus, the Molo Clan was expelled to the Fifth Heaven.

“This Molo Well sounds a lot like my family’s well. It loves to devour things. Could it really be mine?” Qi Yuan mused aloud, almost believing it himself.

Hong Yu was speechless and didn’t respond.

“So, by your explanation, Black Abyss has a lot of Supreme Truth realm experts? Could it be the most powerful faction in the Sixth Heaven?” Qi Yuan asked again.

Hong Yu smiled, a proud expression on her face. “At the Supreme Truth realm, it’s not about numbers anymore. My Moon God Palace only has two Supreme Truth realm experts. But our Moon Sovereign, alone, can hold off four or even five Supreme Truth realm experts from Black Abyss!”

...

“Where is Ji Buping?” the ugly old woman suddenly remembered, her expression turning cold.

She recalled how she had gone to ask that Blood Robe about Ji Buping a few days ago, only to be driven off by that purple-robed female cultivator.

“Outrageous! The core members are bullying others!”

Even though she was a mythic expert herself and almost had enough merit to gain the ability to reflect the heavens, she had been humiliated.

Not only that, but she also couldn’t do anything about Blood Robe, a mere high-ranking cultivator, because of her fear.

She was furious.

But suddenly, she calmed down, her eyes flashing with a deep light. “After the eruption at Flame Mountain, I think I sensed someone heading toward him.”

Despite Hong Yu hiding her aura when she fled to Qi Yuan, the old woman, being a mythic expert, had still sensed something.

“During the Molo Clan’s search, he turned them away. It seems...” The old woman’s eyes flashed with murderous intent. “Daring to collude with Moon God Palace and harbor one of its criminals... Even if you’re a guest elder of Black Abyss, you won’t survive!”

The old woman had a bold idea.

Since she couldn’t deal with Blood Robe herself, she would report him!

If her report was successful, the Molo Clan would certainly not spare Blood Robe!

Both Blood Robe and the Moon God Palace criminal would be doomed.

With this thought, her plan became clear.

Sneaking a glance at Qi Yuan’s tent, she turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

When she reappeared, she had arrived at the core area of the Molo Sacred Tower.

Her report had already been submitted, and now she waited outside for someone to receive her.

Luckily, being from Black Abyss, she didn’t have to wait even half an hour before she was led inside.

In the cave mansion, an emaciated old man in a gray robe, who appeared kind, greeted her.

Since the Molo Clan revered Black Abyss, many of them wore gray robes to avoid clashing with the black robes of Black Abyss members.

“Friend Meng Gu, it’s been a while. You’re as impressive as ever!” the emaciated old man said, smiling. He was a mythic expert who could reflect the heavens and held a high position in the Molo Sacred Tower.

The ugly old woman wasn’t good at socializing, so she got straight to the point. “I’ve come because I discovered someone harboring a criminal from Moon God Palace!”

“Oh?” The emaciated old man was surprised.

He was in charge of the matter of Hong Yu’s escape.

“Could it be Black Abyss’s guest elder?” the old man asked.

“Yes, a new guest elder named Blood Robe!” the old woman said. “I personally saw the Moon God Palace criminal flee into his cave mansion, and when the Molo Clan’s men came to search, he drove them away!”

It had only reached about a third of the way.

“Should I sneak a listen to the game settings?” Qi Yuan thought to himself, closing his eyes and focusing.

Last time, he could hear Little Ning Tao’s voice. Maybe this time he’d hear something else.

Time passed, the world around him silent.

Suddenly, Qi Yuan paused. “Junior Sister, have you ever heard of the sound of silence?”

“Huh?” Jiang Lingsu was confused.

How could silence be considered sound?

“I think I’ve heard the sound of silence.”

Qi Yuan closed his eyes again, listening intently.

But within the game jade slip, he heard nothing.

Yet, mixed within the silence, he sensed a faint trace of deathly stillness.

“Can you speak?” Qi Yuan asked, trying out his new ability.

It allowed him to communicate with the sounds he heard.

Again, silence greeted him.

But Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up as he sensed a hint of joy.

It was a joy as innocent and pure as if it were born of nature.

“Hmm, you probably can’t speak. You can’t even manage a ‘goo goo gaa gaa.’ I get it—you don’t have a mouth. You’re probably a rock.”

In response, the silence carried a sense of confusion.

“Forget it. I don’t like talking to rocks. What if a monkey jumps out of you?” Qi Yuan muttered, preparing to end the connection.

The silence grew sad.

Just as Qi Yuan was about to speak again, his expression changed. “A snitch?”

The dummy figure had warned him that someone had ratted him out!

His face darkened, and without hesitation, he put the game jade slip away.

His gaze turned toward the old woman in the distance, fury in his eyes.

“Betrayed by love! Someone who can’t have me is trying to destroy me. How could people be so wicked?”

“To have such an admirer is a disgrace!”

Without hesitation, Qi Yuan, fuming, stormed toward the ugly old woman’s cave mansion.

At that moment, the old woman was meditating, but she suddenly sensed something amiss. Her heart sank.

To her shock and horror, she realized that within her cave mansion, which was protected by ten layers of formations, a figure had appeared.

That figure was none other than Qi Yuan!

The old woman was stunned, her thoughts swirling in confusion.

“Fellow Daoist...?” she stammered.

“I hate snitches the most. You dare report me?” Qi Yuan was furious, and the consequences were dire.

The old woman’s pupils shrank in disbelief.

How did he know?

She had just submitted the report, so how did he find out so quickly?

Is there no such thing as anonymity in reporting?

How can anyone feel safe reporting anything if this is how things go?

“Hmph, your admiration for me is your business. I can’t control that.

But you’ve crossed the line. Just because you can’t have me, you decide to ruin me?

If everyone acted like you, destroying what they couldn’t have, how would the Immortal World continue spinning?”

Perhaps because he was too angry, Qi Yuan mixed up his words and referred to the Immortal World as “spinning.”

The old woman was utterly baffled and terrified.

She couldn’t understand how Blood Robe knew she had reported him!

“Snitch, time to go to the underworld!”

“I won’t show mercy just because you admire me!”

“I’ve killed my white moonlight. What do I care about an admirer?”

Qi Yuan didn’t give the old woman a chance to speak or resist, unleashing a powerful blow.
