Hunting Heaven!
This name has been on everyone's lips recently. It's the lair of the Reverse God Yang, and the Blood Dark Crystal Tower was created by him to exterminate both humans and demons.
Butterfly Monarch pressed his hand against the hilt of his sword, his killing intent suppressed. Xun Wu You nodded, activated his body technique, and vanished into a streak of light. It was obvious he was going to Hunting Heaven.
But Butterfly Monarch was far from being a match for Reverse God Yang. Rushing over would be no different from suicide.
"I'll go with him!" Jian Sui Feng followed Butterfly Monarch like a shadow.
Even with these two working together, they had no chance of winning.
It's not that Reverse God Yang is stronger than Ghost Qi Lord. It's just that霹雳 has the most ridiculous setting in the world where new characters are practically invincible during their introductory stage.
Reverse God Yang's aura hasn't faded yet. Even someone with exceptional innate talent wouldn't stand a chance against him.
Of course, Xun Wu You wasn't sending Butterfly Monarch to his death.
It's true that Reverse God Yang hates humanity, but Butterfly Monarch's daughter, Gu Xiao Yue, has become friends with him by a fortunate coincidence.
So Butterfly Monarch won't die.
Looking at the sky, the sun was about to set. The evening sun dyed half the sky red, creating a breathtaking fiery cloud that stretched for miles.
Xun Wu You walked casually, bathed in the evening glow.
Lin Tian Xing had asked him to fight Reverse God Yang. Xun Wu You wouldn't go looking for a beating without any chance of winning.
As he said himself, take things slow, no rush!
The system's worst reward is the participation prize, meaning he gets a Power Pill every day.
As the saying goes, a single grain of sand makes a mountain. Sooner or later, his cultivation will reach its peak. Why rush?
Speaking of which, Xun Wu You can only stall for three months at most, because the mission period is three months.
The system mentioned rewards, but it didn't mention punishments. But judging from the usual tropes in transmigration novels, punishments are usually very cruel.
A campfire crackled, and Xun Wu You stared blankly at the flames devouring the branches. He sighed. Who starts by fighting the boss right away?
Can't we take things step by step? I'm getting jitters.
The moonlight was like water, casting a hazy white glow. Xun Wu You stayed up until midnight, then immediately spun the lucky draw wheel at dawn.
【Ding... Congratulations, host, you have received the participation prize: one Power Pill.】
【Power Pill: Can be directly consumed to increase cultivation by ten years, or taken during battle to restore cultivation.】
Xun Wu You didn't hesitate. He popped it in his mouth and quickly refined it.
Another ten years of cultivation increase!
Xun Wu You had calculated that with a ten-year increase in cultivation per day, it would take six days to reach the next level. It's no exaggeration to say that his progress was leaps and bounds ahead of others.
Everyone else cultivates step by step. Although Xun Wu You took a shortcut, he's still dissatisfied.
When will I get a Destiny reward?
If it takes six days to advance from Innate Sixth Rank to Innate Seventh Rank, it will take twelve days to advance from Seventh Rank to Eighth Rank. This is how it progresses, doubling each time.
Different realms require different amounts of Power Pills, which is unavoidable.
Perhaps because of Xun Wu You's transmigration, it caused a butterfly effect, subtly changing some of the plotlines.
For example, at this time, Ghost Qi Lord should be focusing all his energy on nurturing the Holy Sword of the Demon Blade, Ji Tan Shuo should be racking his brains figuring out the Blood Dark Crystal Tower, and Yu Liang Huang and others should be on their own paths.
But tonight, some demons and ghosts that shouldn't have appeared were all heading towards Xun Wu You.
Xun Wu You had just swallowed the pill, gaining ten years of cultivation, and suddenly felt a chill down his neck.
He turned his head abruptly.
First, the black hole opened again, and Ghost Qi Lord appeared once more. He strolled towards Xun Wu You as if taking a leisurely walk.
Jian Zhi Chi suddenly appeared from nowhere.
Then came a tall and thin man, cold as frost.
Ghost Qi Lord, Jian Zhi Chi, and Hen Wu Feng! The three formed a triangular formation, surrounding Xun Wu You, making it impossible for him to escape!
Ghost Qi Lord sneered, "Where are your helpers? Why are you alone?"
He had been scared off by Xun Wu You and the others during the day, so he called Jian Zhi Chi and Hen Wu Feng for help.
The former helped him nurture his sword, the latter helped him nurture his blade.
The sword is Heaven's Clear Witness, the blade is the Tuoli Prison Dragon!
The Holy Sword of the Demon Blade is already seven parts complete. Wielding this sword and blade, even if he's not invincible in the world, he's still not far off.
Xun Wu You got up, "What do you want?"
Ghost Qi Lord chuckled, "You're still calm. But I think you know what I want."
"Butterfly Monarch and the others are not here. You think you can fight three on your own? That's a fool's dream. Unless the Emperor Scholar arrives in person, no one can save you. Surrender or fight, the choice is yours!"
Xun Wu You understood. Ghost Qi Lord wasn't giving up, he still wanted to recruit him.
After comparing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, he nodded decisively, "I surrender."
Ghost Qi Lord felt a sense of déjà vu. Xun Wu You had been just as decisive earlier. He let out a cold laugh, "You're too cunning. I don't see much sincerity in you."
Xun Wu You sighed, "What exactly counts as sincerity? How about I take you to the De Feng Ancient Path?"
Ghost Qi Lord shouted, "Rubbish! Don't play tricks. If you truly surrender, take this pill and then we'll talk!"
He flicked his fan forward, sending a crimson pill flying towards Xun Wu You. The air was filled with the fragrance of white feather pine, mixed with a hint of smoke.
Xun Wu You knew what was up. This was the same medicine Ghost Qi Lord used to control Jian Zhi Chi, to ensnare his mind and make him into a puppet. While Ghost Qi Lord himself remained unaffected.
He played with the pill, then swallowed it under Ghost Qi Lord's watchful eye. "Is that sincere enough?"
Ghost Qi Lord was furious, "You dare to trick me!"
Xun Wu You seemed to have eaten the pill, but in reality, he used a sleight of hand and secretly tucked it into his sleeve. He snorted, "Make your move!"
Jian Zhi Chi unsheathed Heaven's Clear Witness, Hen Wu Feng brandished the Tuoli Prison Dragon!
Sword and blade shone brightly, and the air froze in an instant. Within ten miles, cold air swirled, a biting wind swept across, and the temperature plummeted below zero.
Three against one, what chance did I have? Xun Wu You chuckled bitterly.
He thought to himself, what goes around comes around, but this is really turning too fast!
He looked at Hen Wu Feng, "Hen Wu Feng, let's make a deal. I'll save your wife, you go kill Ghost Qi Lord, how's that?"
His words were shocking, and the killing intent in Hen Wu Feng's eyes wavered, clearly moved.
He killed for Ghost Qi Lord, only because his wife's life was in Ghost Qi Lord's hands.
If that weren't the case, how could Ghost Qi Lord control him!
Ghost Qi Lord sneered, "Rubbish! You know a lot of secrets, but you don't even know who your wife is, how can you possibly know what disease she has? You say you can cure her..."
Xun Wu You interrupted seriously, "You're the one who's full of crap! My master is the number one in the world, Emperor Scholar Lin Tian Xing. Even if I'm incapable, can't the five great sages of the Hao Zheng Dao cure her?"
"Jun Feng Tian possesses the aura of the divine emperor, which repels evil spirits. Ying Shuang Qing's magic is unmatched by gods and ghosts. The two great masters of the Confucian school working together, your wife would be hard-pressed to die!"
Hen Wu Feng was very moved, but Ghost Qi Lord was stunned, "How do you know Jun Feng Tian has the aura of the divine emperor?"
Xun Wu You chuckled, "What's that? I also know you're not the real Ghost Qi Lord. Hey, don't get worked up! I'm not interested in your identity, and you shouldn't be interested in me either. We can either live and let live, or we can fight to the death!"
Ghost Qi Lord's expression was icy, "Are you trying to scare me?"
At this point, he was unsure how much Xun Wu You actually knew.
He thought his plans were flawless, but how come this kid seems to know everything?
