Chapter 416: Anxious Horned Sister, Finally Ascending to the Sixth Heaven!

Chapter 416: Anxious Horned Sister, Finally Ascending to the Sixth Heaven!

A powerful strike was delivered without any mercy.

The ugly old woman’s eyes widened as she tried to resist.

But her insignificant divine power was weaker than an ant before Qi Yuan.

“Snitch, go to hell!”

Qi Yuan obliterated the ugly old woman!

Using such overwhelming force would normally alert the Yang Gods at the Molo Sacred Tower. However, the nearby Yang Gods had already been lured away by Qi Yuan's schemes.

Thus, the old woman’s death went unnoticed.

This time, Qi Yuan was careful, deliberately ensuring that he didn’t destroy the old woman’s storage pouch.

“Killing snitches really clears the mind!”

Qi Yuan thought to himself, feeling relieved.

Suddenly, a wave of unease washed over him.

“Should I start reflecting on my actions?”

“Retaliating so precisely against a snitch... If this were posted online, wouldn’t that look bad?”

After all, someone had just reported him, and he immediately killed that person.

This revealed some deeper issues—serious ones that could affect society’s moral fabric.

“No worries, she’s dead now, and no one will know.”

Feeling fortunate, Qi Yuan shrugged off his concerns.

As long as no one found out, society’s moral standards wouldn’t be compromised. Nothing too serious.

He said this while opening the old woman’s storage pouch to inspect its treasures.

“Huh... a Sky-passing Jade, with Horned Sister’s aura, and it’s still warm?”

Instantly, everything became clear to Qi Yuan.

Any shred of guilt vanished completely.

“So, you were trying to steal from me, huh? You deserved to die!”

He rummaged through the pouch and found several divine techniques.

But most of the techniques were the same as the ones Qi Yuan had already obtained from the Yang Gods of the Molo Clan.

“As expected, compared to White Moonlight, you’re dirt poor. You don’t even take baths.”

Shrugging, Qi Yuan walked away.

As for the ugly old woman—her death didn’t matter. By the time the people at the Black Abyss outpost found out, Qi Yuan would already be in the upper realm.

After returning from dealing with the old woman, Qi Yuan sought out Hong Yu and asked about the upper realm.

Qi Yuan learned more about Yang Gods and the forces of the upper realms.

In the Sixth Heaven, the most powerful force was the Supreme Truth Society.

Nearly all Supreme Truth-level experts were affiliated with the Supreme Truth Society.

This was because of the society’s creation artifact, the Wall of Myriad Principles.

The name was quite similar to the Gate of Myriad Principles.

In front of this wall, Yang Gods could better understand their path and realize their own principles.

Because of this, even Yang Gods, with their natural pride, were humbled before the Supreme Truth Society. After all, not everyone could be invited to the Supreme Truth Symposium.

“I can’t believe Yang God Mozhi worked for free for so many years for the Supreme Truth Society, just to get an invitation to the symposium.”

In Yang God Mozhi’s residence, Qi Yuan found the symposium invitation. It was the reward for years of unpaid labor.

Now, it was Qi Yuan’s to use.

He chuckled, thinking that the upper realm’s white moonlight figures were quite generous.

There was another surprising revelation.

In the Sixth Heaven, the place with the most Yang Gods was actually the First Heaven.

However, most of the Yang Gods in the First Heaven were wandering cultivators without affiliations, often sleeping in seclusion, seeking breakthroughs.

Not all Yang Gods had the chance to reach the Supreme Truth.

And not all Yang Gods were willing to work for the Supreme Truth Society to increase their chances of a breakthrough.

Because of this, there was a group of Yang Gods known as "alternative Yang Gods."

“Because they can’t break through to the Supreme Truth, some high-level Yang Gods follow different paths. They either focus solely on cultivating power or expanding their divine domains. These alternative Yang Gods are stronger than ordinary Yang Gods.

The best among them can even rival lesser Supreme Truth realm Yang Gods!

But to Supreme Truth realm experts, they’re still too weak,” Hong Yu explained.

In her heart, Hong Yu was puzzled. How could a guest elder of Black Abyss be so unfamiliar with the matters of the upper realm? It was as if he had just ascended.

But an ordinary ascended cultivator wouldn’t have the same strength as Qi Yuan.

“Oh,” Qi Yuan muttered, then suddenly—

He launched a sneak attack!

Hong Yu didn’t have time to react and collapsed, unconscious, before Qi Yuan.

“Senior Brother, what are you doing?” Jiang Lingsu gasped, covering her mouth in shock.

“We’re about to ascend to the upper realm, so I need to put her in my Netherworld.

I’d rather not let outsiders know about my Netherworld.

...

“This is the Sixth Heaven?”

Standing in a pitch-black space, Qi Yuan squinted, his eyes filled with curiosity and surprise.

The spatial environment of the Fifth Heaven was somewhat similar to that of the Canglan World, just with denser spiritual energy.

But the Sixth Heaven... felt strangely both solid and fragile at the same time.

“It seems that the Sixth Heaven really was created by a Supreme Truth-level expert!”

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have this contradictory feeling of being both delicate and sturdy.

“Celestial Sovereign, Yang God Mokuan left several days ago. This is the token of our Duan Yue Abyss,” a Yin God from the Molo Clan respectfully handed over a token.

The past half month had been nerve-wracking for those guarding Duan Yue Abyss, as there had been no Yang God present, and they felt vulnerable.

Now that Yang God Mozhi had arrived, they all sighed with relief.

“Hmm.” Qi Yuan accepted the token, and immediately, a flood of information poured into his mind.

The Upper Abyss of the Black Abyss was divided into nineteen regions, each governed by a Yang God of the Molo Clan.

Among the nineteen Yang Gods, three were at the Supreme Truth level, while the rest were either small or great Yang Gods.

Qi Yuan had been assigned to Duan Yue Abyss, while the Yang God closest to him was a Supreme Truth-level Yang God of the Molo Clan.

These nineteen regions were connected by the creation artifact known as the Molo Well, forming a unified defense and offensive network.

“This Molo Clan has fallen on hard times. They’re helping Taihuang Palace fight against the Moon God Palace, yet they still have to pay for their own war effort!”

The Yang Gods of the Molo Clan didn’t have the privilege to stay permanently in the Sixth Heaven.

So, while stationed at the Black Abyss, they had to pay Taihuang Palace just to fight in the war against the Moon God Palace.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan couldn’t help but be speechless.

The Molo Clan seemed to be down on their luck.

He swept his gaze over the assembled Yin Gods of the Molo Clan and asked, “Has everyone gathered?”

The high-level figures of Duan Yue Abyss should have assembled to greet him after his ascent.

The lead mythic expert hesitated for a moment before bowing his head and saying, “The envoy from Taihuang Palace seems to be occupied with something and hasn’t arrived yet...”

The mythic expert was speaking cautiously.

In fact, the envoys from Taihuang Palace were always arrogant, treating the Molo Clan as beneath them. They hardly bothered to attend such formalities.

Of course, this also had to do with the fact that the Molo Clan's leader shared the same hairstyle as Fleecy, the famous sheep.

Otherwise, how could the envoys from Taihuang Palace dare to skip such an event?

If Yang God Mozhi were present, he might feel a little displeased but would endure it.

But Qi Yuan wasn’t Yang God Mozhi, so... he wasn’t going to put up with it.

As for whether making a fuss would cause problems?

Well, that was the Molo Clan’s concern, not his.

“Go and call over the envoy from Taihuang Palace. Tell him I have a gift for him.”

Qi Yuan’s voice was raspy as he gave the order.

The Yin Gods of the Molo Clan were visibly startled, but then their faces filled with jealousy and envy.

The envoy from Taihuang Palace was really lucky...

Even the majestic Yang God Mozhi wanted to give him a gift...

Their envy was palpable.

Qi Yuan ignored their reactions and continued, “Also, help me investigate where Moon Goddess Jinli is stationed in the war zones.”

The Black Abyss was vast—larger even than the Canglan World by far.

Qi Yuan needed to pinpoint Moon Goddess Jinli’s exact location so he could find her.

However, he couldn’t just charge into the Moon God Palace’s territory.

Otherwise, the Moon God Palace’s defensive formations and creation artifacts would attack him.

The battles of Yang Gods were restricted to the rift zones within the Black Abyss.

“Does the Celestial Sovereign have an interest in the Moon Goddess?” one mythic expert asked, puzzled.

Shouldn’t a Yang God be concerned with other Yang Gods? Why was he asking about a mere Moon Goddess?

“I once saw her portrait and was captivated by her beauty. She struck me as a celestial being.

I want to find her and make her my Dao companion.”

Qi Yuan raised his head and looked at the countless stars in the sky.

Among them, he immediately spotted Jinli’s star.

His eyes glowed with a mixture of longing and fond memories.

At that moment, one of the mythic experts frowned and said, “I’ve heard that this Moon Goddess is stationed at Jue Yue Abyss.”

“Oh? That’s nearby?” Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up.

According to the information in the token, Jue Yue Abyss was right next to Duan Yue Abyss.

The one in charge of Jue Yue Abyss was one of the Supreme Truth-level Yang Gods of the Black Abyss.

“Yes, this Moon Goddess is exceptionally talented. She’s been at Jue Yue Abyss for ten thousand years. When she first arrived, she wasn’t even a high-level Yin God, but now she’s a mythic-level figure!” The expert spoke of Moon Goddess Jinli with a tone of deep respect.

Hearing the name Moon Goddess Jinli from others stirred an immense sense of joy and longing in Qi Yuan.

There was something profoundly satisfying about hearing the name of someone dear from another person’s mouth.
