256: How Is It? Did You Feel Like Shit?
🕑 Added 2025-05-06 15:30:49 +0000 UTCAlthough he had long gotten bored seeing people always being shocked by the tiniest of his actions, this didn't apply to beautiful women.
Beautiful women had their privileges, well, at least for him.
"You lied to me that time and didn't give me the correct translation?" Qianye Ying'er's expression turned icy. When he had translated the World-Defying Heaven Manual for her back then, she had written down the content carefully. But strangely, she hadn't been able to understand a single thing from it.
At that time, she hadn't suspected anything. After all, even the mighty Creation God Mo E had failed to cultivate the World-Defying Heaven Manual despite spending billions of years on it, so much less her.
She had set the matter aside and focused her attention on the skills that Yun Wuji had given her.
But now, she began to suspect that this man had never given her the real translation from the very beginning.
"No, what I gave you was the true translation. It's just that your talent is too poor," Yun Wuji said flatly, completely ignoring her darkening expression. He shook his head with a sigh and looked at her like she was some talentless trash not worth mentioning.
Seeing her expression grow darker and the corner of her lips twitching, he added, "However, although your talent is trash compared to mine, the reason you can't cultivate it is because it needs very special requirements. These prerequisites are so hard to meet that even the Creation Gods and Devil Emperors couldn't."
The basic prerequisites to cultivate and touch the Laws of Nothingness are to travel through time, space, and experience death. Yun Wuji was a transmigrator, he naturally met these requirements. However, even without them, he was someone unbound by any limitations, so even if he hadn't met the conditions, he still could have cultivated the Laws of Nothingness.
Another point is that the above requirements are only the bare minimum needed to 'touch' the Laws of Nothingness. To truly comprehend it, one would need the Ancestral Sacred Body.
Also, if a person possessed the Nine Profound Exquisite Body, they could also touch the Laws of Nothingness, though it would only be scratching the surface, just like Xia Qingyue did in the novel.
He explained it vaguely without going into details, because if he told her the full requirements, he would also have to explain how he had met them.
"Another thing is that, in addition to your own fragment, I also own another one." While observing her expression, he felt a bit disappointed, she didn't look as shocked as before. It seemed she had started to develop some resistance to it… or maybe she was already numb from all the shocks.
"You own another fragment?" Qianye Ying'er raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked.
To get her own fragment, she had risked her life and even used one of her simps, Xisu, as a meat shield. But this guy just casually told her he had another one? Didn't that mean he had already seen the content of two fragments?
"Yep, let me tell you another thing," Yun Wuji said, taking a crystal and playing with it in his palm. "The reason why you were able to find me was because I purposely allowed you to."
"How is it? Are you shocked?"
"You purposely allowed me to find you?" Qianye Ying'er narrowed her golden eyes, then they widened slightly. "Your goal from the beginning was the World-Defying Heaven Manual!"
If his words were true, didn't that mean her actions back then were under his control? Impossible! He must be bluffing! She clenched her fists tightly. She couldn't accept it, after just discovering she had spent most of her life being manipulated by her father, now this man in front of her was almost doing the same.
"Yep, you aren't dumb after all," Yun Wuji nodded, affirming her guess. "Originally I only wanted to get the content of the fragment and leave, maybe toss you something in return."
Then, his gaze shifted into one of pure disdain. "Unfortunately, you turned out to be a shortsighted fool. You tortured me, tried to brand me with that disgusting Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark, and most importantly..." he paused, his expression darkened with fury. "You disfigured my incomparably handsome face."
"Do you have any idea how many women would've cried over that?"
"Because of you, half the world nearly lost their reason to live!"
"...Shameless!" Qianye Ying'er, who was first shocked by his revelations, became speechless.
Although she had to admit, Yun Wuji was indeed very handsome, no, incomparably handsome. She had never seen anyone like him.
But seriously... wasn't he a bit too narcissistic? And utterly shameless?
"I'm just stating the truth," Yun Wuji shrugged, returning to the topic. "So instead of escaping quietly after taking what I wanted, I naturally decided to make you pay the price."
"By revealing the truth about your father, I made you hate him, and slowly guided you into hating the Brahma Monarch God Realm as well."
Staring at her pale face and slightly parted lips, still frozen in shock, his smile widened. He clapped his hands together and asked cheerfully, "How is it? Did you feel like shit? Did I succeed in ruining your life?!"
"..." Qianye Ying'er's body trembled slightly, her golden eyes locked onto him with a deep coldness. If looks could freeze, Yun Wuji would've turned into an ice sculpture on the spot. But strangely, there was no killing intent in them.
Because she was still rational and knew that, although this guy had indeed plotted against her, it didn't change the fact that what he told her back then was the truth.
Even if he was manipulating her to take revenge, it was still better than remaining in the dark.
It was also her own fault for exposing her flaws to that dog of a father. If she hadn't, this guy's scheme wouldn't have amounted to anything.
"Why are you telling me this?" Qianye Ying'er's mental fortitude was strong. She quickly collected herself and asked. But then, as if realizing something, her eyes narrowed. "You're showing me all this... trying to convince me to accept your condition, aren't you?"
"Yes, you are quite smart," Yun Wuji nodded and admitted. He had indeed shown her the Law of Nothingness and revealed how he had plotted against her to demonstrate his potential and his scheming abilities.
Of course, he knew this alone wouldn't make her accept his condition outright. But it would certainly make her waver.
As for the chance of her killing him in rage? He had naturally considered it before speaking. He understood her character well, both from the novel and from their interactions. Every move he made was carefully thought through.
"Your plan is indeed good," Qianye Ying'er didn't mock him; she actually looked at him with some appreciation, but she shook her head. "Daga kotowaru!"
Although Yun Wuji had shown incredible potential, Qianye Ying'er still couldn't bring herself to accept his offer. Deep down, she knew this was the best choice she could make, yet there was still a flicker of hope within her. As for what that hope was, she didn't know herself. Perhaps, she was simply hoping that Yun Wuji might change his conditions.
In reality, there were other available options. She could have gone directly to the Southern Sea God Emperor. Given his obsession with her, as long as she played her cards right, she could easily turn him into her dog. But the thought didn't even cross her mind seriously. In fact, just thinking about it made her skin crawl.
"Well, it was worth trying," Yun Wuji shrugged his shoulders. He didn't look bothered by her refusal. "Since you don't want to become my slave, then don't bother me, and leave."
"…" Qianye Ying'er ignored his words completely. She found a spot in the cave, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and entered a meditative state. After listening to Yun Wuji's annoying remarks for so long, she had already grown somewhat accustomed to them. She no longer felt the same anger she had at first.
Yun Wuji gave her one last glance, then turned away, the corner of his lips curling into a smirk. 'All according to keikaku.'
He took out another large pile of profound jades and crystals and began absorbing their energy.
As he did, his cultivation steadily rose.
After a day, Qianye Ying'er opened her golden eyes and looked at Yun Wuji. The annoying man hadn't moved an inch since his cultivation began, yet his profound realm had already reached the 5th level of the Divine Tribulation Realm.
On the third day, he reached the 6th level.
By the fifth day, he had advanced to the 7th level.
On the eighth day, he entered the 8th level.
And on the thirteenth day, under Qianye Ying'er's stunned gaze, he broke through to the 9th level of the Divine Tribulation Realm!
In just thirteen days, he had risen from the mid-stage to the peak stage of the Divine Tribulation Realm!
Clang!
The pile of profound jade and crystals surrounding him suddenly crumbled into dust. Yun Wuji slowly opened his eyes.
'This feeling is so addictive,' Yun Wuji circulated his profound energy and let out a satisfied sigh. Compared to his main body, which required over a hundred times more resources to break through, this body was practically flying!
He had only used up less than five percent of his reserves, yet he had already reached the peak of the Divine Tribulation Realm! If it were his main body, even exhausting all his resources wouldn't be enough to reach that level. It not only consumed an absurd amount of resources but also required far more time.
The time needed to absorb five percent of his resources was obviously much less than the time required to absorb one hundred percent or more.
Back then, when he first entered the God Realm, he had originally planned to take both the Heretic God body and his main body to the Snow Song Realm to raise their cultivations as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the Heretic God body met Luo Guxie, which completely changed his plans.
He stood up and stretched his body lazily, then walked out of the cave without bothering to look at Qianye Ying'er.
Qianye Ying'er rose to her feet and followed him. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Are you going to break through?"
Considering he had already reached the peak of the Divine Tribulation Realm, it was obvious he intended to break through to the Divine Spirit Realm. Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to stop cultivating here in peace.
"Yeah," Yun Wuji nodded without turning back. He stomped the ground and soared into the sky. Honestly, he was a bit troubled. Even though this was just the Heretic God's body tribulation, it was much smaller than the main body's. It was still massive, it would cover an entire Divine Region!
