“You need a Supre 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 Supre 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 Supre 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 Supre Truth realm experts, and it can’t support too many Yang Gods,” Hong Yu explained.
“So Yang Gods have no dignity, huh? Like holess 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 Supre Truth realm experts don’t accept just any Yang God. Black Abyss only accepts those with its bloodline! And that bloodline cos from their creation artifact! Black Abyss beings aren’t native to the Immortal World but erged from a creation artifact!” Hong Yu said gravely.
“Is it the sa for the Molo Clan?” Qi Yuan asked, surprised.
“Yes!” Hong Yu nodded. “The Molo Clan doesn’t have any Supre Truth realm experts, but they also erged 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 Supre Truth realm experts. It beca difficult for even Truth realm experts to erge, 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 Supre Truth realm experts.
But with part of it devoured, Black Abyss lost the potential to create more Supre 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 Supre 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 Supre Truth realm, it’s not about numbers anymore. My Moon God Palace only has two Supre Truth realm experts. But our Moon Sovereign, alone, can hold off four or even five Supre Truth realm experts from Black Abyss!”
...
“Where is Ji Buping?” the ugly old woman suddenly rembered, 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 mbers are bullying others!”
Even though she was a mythic expert herself and almost had enough rit 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 re high-ranking cultivator, because of her fear.
She was furious.
But suddenly, she cald down, her eyes flashing with a deep light. “After the eruption at Fla Mountain, I think I sensed soone 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 sothing.
“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 dood.
With this thought, her plan beca 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 soone 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 mbers.
“Friend ng 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 co because I discovered soone 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 nad 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 n ca to search, he drove them away!”
“Outrageous! Harboring a criminal—he deserves death!” The old man was enraged. Then he asked, “I haven’t heard of this Blood Robe. Is he a newly appointed guest elder?”
It was best to clarify things when it ca to Black Abyss.
“Yes, he doesn’t actually have Black Abyss’s bloodline. He only beca a guest elder because he was recomnded by a core mber of Black Abyss!” the old woman said angrily.
The old man’s expression darkened. “Since this involves a core mber of Black Abyss, I cannot make the decision myself. I will report this to the Celestial Sovereign!
Don’t worry, ng Gu. Anyone who dares to harbor the Molo Clan’s enemy will die, even if they are a core mber of Black Abyss!”
Hearing this, the ugly old woman felt much more satisfied.
That hateful Blood Robe was dood this ti.
“ng Gu, in three years, the Molo Sacred Tower will be holding the Si Shui eting. Don’t forget to attend!” the old man invited, trying to strengthen their relationship.
After all, ng Gu was about to beco a core mber of Black Abyss, and it was worth maintaining a good connection with her.
“Alright.” The old woman nodded, feeling pleased. “And make sure you don’t leak my visit today!”
As if rembering sothing, she added another reminder.
“Don’t worry. The heavens know, the earth knows, you and I know, and... the Celestial Sovereign will know.”
The “Celestial Sovereign” he referred to was the Yang God overseeing the Molo Sacred Tower.
Satisfied, the old woman nodded and left. “Farewell.”
Leaving the core area of the Molo Sacred Tower, the old woman made her way to Black Abyss’s outpost.
She rembered the ssage her friend had sent—the purple-robed female cultivator had left Blood Robe a nice gift.
Since Blood Robe would soon be captured and executed, it would be a waste not to collect those gifts herself.
Half an hour later, the old woman erged from Black Abyss’s outpost, her eyes filled with hostility. “Hmph, those managers have no sense. They almost refused to give the items!”
Still, she had managed to snatch the gifts left by the purple-robed woman.
Opening the storage pouch, her eyes glead with envy. “A Tongtian Jade! What a treasure—it’ll save ten thousand years!”
She wasn’t too afraid of the purple-robed woman.
After all, she wouldn’t argue over the belongings of a dead man.
Besides, with Blood Robe about to die, the purple-robed woman probably wouldn’t care enough to pursue it.
Most importantly, no one knew she had leaked the information.
“By now, the Celestial Sovereign must have given the order. It won’t be long before the Molo Clan surrounds and kills him. I should go enjoy the show.”
As the saying goes, criminals often return to the scene of the cri, and this law applied even in the upper realms.
The old woman disappeared, preparing to return to the Mi Luo Realm to watch the fun.
When she entered the Mi Luo Realm again, she spotted Qi Yuan lounging lazily in the distance.
A cruel smile spread across her face. “Enjoy your peace while you can. Soon, you won’t be able to smile!”
Just then, Qi Yuan sat up, as if sensing sothing. “Oh, you just returned from the Molo Sacred Tower?”
The ugly old woman nodded, her raspy voice confirming, “Yes.”
“Sigh, if I’d known you were going to the outpost, I would’ve asked you to bring the gift Horned Sister left for . I’m too lazy and prefer staying at ho. Aside from going fishing, I rarely leave,” Qi Yuan said, disappointed.
The old woman narrowed her eyes and remained silent, turning to leave.
She was holding back her excitent and joy, just waiting for Blood Robe to be eliminated!
She had co back early to make sure Blood Robe didn’t flee.
Watching over him felt safer.
Ti ticked by slowly, and the old woman stayed in her temporary cave mansion, occasionally glancing toward Qi Yuan’s location, as if waiting for sothing.
anwhile, Qi Yuan was updating the Golden Core section of the “Qi Yuan Sutra.”
Stretching, he sighed. “Ah, sotis being too handso is a problem. That old lady keeps staring at —I’m starting to feel self-conscious.
I never thought I’d reach the point where I’d have the allure of a scholar sealed away by an older woman.”
“That’s because she hasn’t heard you speak!” Jiang Lingsu said, covering her mouth to hide her laughter.
Her senior brother was better off not talking.
“My voice? I think it’s good enough to beco an ASMR strear,” Qi Yuan said with a grin.
After all, didn’t Little Ning Tao fall for him after hearing him speak through a ga jade slip?
Clearly, his voice was very appealing.
With this in mind, Qi Yuan activated the ga jade slip. “I wonder if the new ga has loaded.”
He hadn’t checked the ga for a while and was feeling nostalgic.
As his consciousness entered the jade slip, he saw the ga icon was still loading.
It had only reached about a third of the way.
“Should I sneak a listen to the ga settings?” Qi Yuan thought to himself, closing his eyes and focusing.
Last ti, he could hear Little Ning Tao’s voice. Maybe this ti he’d hear sothing else.
Ti 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 ga 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 soone had ratted him out!
His face darkened, and without hesitation, he put the ga jade slip away.
His gaze turned toward the old woman in the distance, fury in his eyes.
“Betrayed by love! Soone who can’t have is trying to destroy . How could people be so wicked?”
“To have such an admirer is a disgrace!”
Without hesitation, Qi Yuan, fuming, stord toward the ugly old woman’s cave mansion.
At that mont, the old woman was ditating, but she suddenly sensed sothing 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 stamred.
“I hate snitches the most. You dare report ?” 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 is your business. I can’t control that.
But you’ve crossed the line. Just because you can’t have , you decide to ruin ?
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, ti to go to the underworld!”
“I won’t show rcy just because you admire !”
“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.
