Chapter 538 - 457: The Cultivation Realm Has Become a Complete Mess!
Chapter 538 - 457: The Cultivation Realm Has Become a Complete Mess!
After repeatedly identifying the young girl in front of him, and confirming she is indeed Gui Yuan, Su Yuan became somewhat unsettled.
Just how ancient is the era he finds himself in, for the dignified Saint Law Celestial Monarch to be at merely the Qi Cultivation Stage, and serving as security in a minor sect.
Could this be the era that existed in Fake Chu Jiang’s memories?
On the other side, noticing Su Yuan’s gaze towards her, tension appeared on Gui Yuan’s small face.
"Last time I reported to the steward that you were slacking off, it was to make you realize your mistake, you... please don’t hit me."
Seeing the nervous and uneasy expression on the blonde girl’s face, Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, feeling a peculiar sensation inside.
This girl is so rule-abiding at such a young age, it’s no wonder she would dedicate her future to promoting comprehensive laws.
But it seems that perhaps because she is too upright, she has incurred the displeasure of many around her, including being occasionally bullied by outer disciples like this identity.
So tragic for a Divinity Transformation.
Although this is just an illusion realm, and the young girl in front is a mere illusion, it’s after all a projection of his Sect’s Supreme Elder. Su Yuan thought he should help if he could, to prevent her from being bullied by any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
With this in mind, Su Yuan gave a light cough, wore a smile he considered to be gentle, and said:
"Gui Yuan, you wouldn’t wish to keep being bullied by your colleagues, would you?"
At the tempting sound of his voice, a tremor ran through the girl’s delicate body, feeling as though Su Yuan intended to do something scarier than hitting her.
Yet, instinctively, she shook her head at Su Yuan’s question.
Su Yuan chuckled, flipped his palm, and a jade scroll appeared in his hand.
He quickly walked up to Gui Yuan, who was trying to back away, grabbed her slender wrist, and stuffed the jade scroll into her hand.
"What is this?"
Gui Yuan looked blankly at the jade scroll, also being shocked by Su Yuan’s capability of producing items out of thin air.
According to what she knows, storage magical treasures are items only Foundation Establishment ancestors are qualified to have. Could Su Yuan also have a storage magical treasure?
"Holy Law of Justice, a shadow of... a friend, gave this to me. This cultivation technique allows one to cultivate all the way from the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Golden Core Peak, it’s very suitable for you, take it and practice well."
Without waiting for the girl’s refusal, Su Yuan promptly activated the jade scroll, directly imprinting its contents into the girl’s knowledge sea.
In doing this, he confirmed something else too.
Although he obtained a legal identity in the illusion realm, his appearance, cultivation, and magical treasures like the Tribulation Moon Pearl remained completely consistent with the outside world.
He only received some additional belongings of "Outer Sect Gatekeeper Disciple Su Yuan" here.
Having the cultivation level of Golden Core Peak bestowed upon him gave him much more sense of security in this unfamiliar world.
To receive the vast knowledge Su Yuan forcibly injected, Gui Yuan was in a daze for over a moment.
A good while later, she finally came to her senses, incredulously looking at Su Yuan:
"Such a profound cultivation technique, you... why do you want to give it to me?"
Before Su Yuan could answer, Gui Yuan quickly replied:
"Thank you for gifting me this cultivation technique, but such a valuable gift, I cannot accept it for free. I will do my best to repay this kindness, be it running errands for you or sharing my salary with you, I am willing."
Saying this, she seemed to remember something, and added a wary line:
"But... but not between men and women, I am a serious female cultivator devoted to the Dao."
"Serious female cultivator? A serious female cultivator is great!"
Su Yuan revealed a demon’s unique smile, and under the frightened gaze of Gui Yuan, spoke out his wicked demand:
"My demand is simple, you just need to be my personal maid for a year."
"Don’t worry, I’m not interested in your small frame; I won’t make you do anything against your principles."
Gui Yuan: "Is that... is that all? Are you sure you won’t go further and do something like drugging me?"
Su Yuan: "...Hey, do ancient people have such filthy thoughts?"
After confirming that Su Yuan really wouldn’t do anything to her, the girl blushingly accepted his request.
Although she disliked Su Yuan’s high-handed ways, what he offered was just too much to resist.
"When you return today, practice well and strive to become my helper."
Su Yuan reminded her.
He eagerly anticipated what kind of talent the young Saint Law Celestial Monarch would display once receiving the cultivation technique most suited for herself.
Within a year, how far could she progress from the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage?
Gui Yuan earnestly nodded, just as she was about to say something more, suddenly, a dark cloud surged from afar, covering the sky swiftly.
Both instinctively looked towards the direction of the pressing black cloud, only to realize that it was not a cloud, but a terrifying army of puppets numbering in tens of thousands, swarming like a plague of locusts.
"No... no good! It’s the people of Zhu Yan White Bone Observation attacking!"
Gui Yuan’s face instantly turned pale.
"Zhu... Zhu Yan White Bone Observation?"
Su Yuan nearly thought he misheard, wasn’t that the Demon Sect that emerged and grew strong during the mid to late period of the Ancient Cultivation Realm, developed by the likes of Zhu Qingqing’s generation?
How come it existed in the early Ancient Cultivation Realm, before the Thirty-six Divinity Transformations became gods?
Is it merely a case of a similar name?
However, after using his Golden Core Peak eyesight to clearly see the leader among the puppet army, Su Yuan negated his earlier thoughts.
For the one commanding the puppet army was an alluring woman with long pink hair and delicate features filled with an air of wickedness.
Who else if not Zhu Qingqing?
Luckily, this Zhu Qingqing in front only has the cultivation level of Golden Core Peak, not the one he knew, who became a Nascent Soul True Monarch and governed Zhu Yan White Bone Observation.
She is the Saintess Zhu Qingqing.
"Hahaha, pathetic Profound Sound Sect folks, why don’t you surrender to the Saintess’s skirt immediately!"
"The Saintess will offer you a swift end, letting you be made into a Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet in ecstasy."
Hmm, such an all-ignoring tone, fits perfectly.
Su Yuan took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from the Tribulation Moon Pearl, pointed at the pink-haired female in the distance, and asked the Artifact Spirit Zhu Qingqing:
"Is that one flying in the sky you?"
Zhu Qingqing: "...Yes, it is me."
Su Yuan: "Is it?"
Zhu Qingqing: "Yes, back then... I was very young."
Su Yuan: "Then why did you attack Profound Sound Sect?"
Zhu Qingqing said aggrievedly: "It’s not my fault, the geographical position of the Illusion Realm World must have placed Zhu Yan White Bone Observation surrounded by Righteous Sect, I have never killed a good person in the real world!"
Su Yuan snorted, without making things difficult for her, he withdrew the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
And he figured it out, the timeline in this Illusion Realm World isn’t normal at all.
Here, as long as you are a character, power, or sect from the memories of Fake Chu Jiang and Chu Lanxi, no matter how far apart in time, you might appear in the same era.
And characters who should have shared the same era and status in the outside world might have mismatched ages and cultivation levels here in the illusion realm.
The girl Gui Yuan beside him is in her young girl form, yet an ancient Divinity Transformation who lived in the same era as Gui Yuan could already be in full form.
Chaos... too chaotic.
Su Yuan rubbed his temples a bit helplessly.
And at the very next second, a crisp voice resonated from the gate of Profound Sound Sect.
"Zhu Qingqing, you are too arrogant! As long as this Sect Leader is here, the Profound Sound Sect will not collapse!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Su Yuan furrowed his brow hard.
This voice is... Yin Qiyue?
