Have I ever lied to you?
🕑 Added 2024-12-08 15:57:43 +0000 UTCIn the world of his consciousness, the origin energy within the wild beast's profound cores was gradually being dissolved into "nothingness," and this "nothingness" was gradually producing power that naturally belonged to him within his profound veins.
In that instant, the profound core in Yun Wuji's hand shattered without a sound, and the profound energy within his veins surged slightly.
'I can refine a Monarch-level beast core in just a few moments, but while this method is efficient for cultivation, the effect of a single core on me is far too small. To break through, I'll need many, many more,' Yun Wuji noted, observing the slight increase in his cultivation. Although he wouldn’t need "100,000" cores as Jasmine exaggerated, the quantity required was still staggering.
'Well, it doesn't matter,' he thought with a smirk, 'That’s what subordinates are for, right?'
"What... what was that just now?!" Jasmine's shocked voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Aside from being used to refine artifacts or pills, Profound Core Beasts were most commonly utilized to assist in cultivation. Profound practitioners would release the spiritual energy contained within the core to refine their own profound energy or to overcome a bottleneck in their cultivation.
This was the most basic and common knowledge in the profound way. From the lower realms to the God Realm, though the levels of profound cores used might differ greatly, the methods of their usage remained largely the same.
However, this method of refining was an incredibly slow and arduous process, with exceedingly low chances of success. More often than not, even if someone depleted a fortune’s worth of profound cores, valued as much as entire cities, their profound cultivation would remain completely stagnant. In fact, such outcomes were remarkably common.
This was precisely why Jasmine had called Yun Wuji "stupid" when he boldly claimed he wanted to use them to achieve a breakthrough.
However, what she had just witnessed, the scene that had unfolded right before her eyes, was clearly not the refining of a profound core’s spiritual energy. Instead, it was unmistakably...
Absorption!?
Yun Wuji had already used up all his divine crystals long before meeting Jasmine. Naturally, during the time she spent with him, she had never seen him absorb divine crystals. If she had, her shock and surprise wouldn’t have been nearly as overwhelming.
"What are you freaking out about? Haven't you ever seen someone refine profound cores before?" Yun Wuji asked casually, pulling out another beast core as if what he had just done was the most ordinary thing in the world.
After plundering...cough... I mean safeguarding all the treasuries of the sinful Sacred Grounds, Guardian Families, and Duke Palaces, and adding them to his original collection, Yun Wuji now had a good number of beast cores.
But even then, they were nowhere near enough.
"You...you, how did you do it?!" His casual attitude especially was playing on her nerves, she wanted to smack him in the face and interrogate him, why can't he just honestly explain?!
This guy actually had the nerve to say something this outrageous with a straight face! If all people could cultivate this way, all the profound beasts in the world would have been extinct ages ago.
She finally understood his lack of reaction when she told him about the gap between the Monarch Realm and the Divine Origin Realm, it turned out he already knew about it! And there she was, righteously and arrogantly preaching to him about his choices, even calling him stupid!
Recalling this, she couldn’t help but feel that she was the stupid one...
'Hmph! I swear, next time I won’t be surprised no matter what outrageous thing he does!' Jasmine gritted her teeth in frustration and silently swore.
"Actually, if you want to know, I can tell you." Just as Jasmine had given up on prying any information from him and vowed never to ask again, Yun Wuji's voice suddenly echoed in her mind, snapping her back to attention.
"Really?" Jasmine asked, her tone filled with suspicion.
Seeing that he had teased her enough, Yun Wuji replied with a gentle smile, "Of course. We're probably going to be stuck together for years, so I think we should have some form of trust between us, right?"
His attitude was warm and sincere, and under the soothing effect of his light profound energy, Jasmine felt as though she were bathed in a warm spring, cleansing all the filth from her soul.
"Hmm, I guess you’re right," Jasmine said, her expression softening as she nodded with a quiet hum. There was a small red hue on her ears.
"The reason I can refine them is because of the Law of Nothingness," Yun Wuji explained, his smile widening.
"Law of Nothingness?" Jasmine tilted her head in bewilderment. What kind of law was this? Narrowing her beautiful eyes, she asked suspiciously, "Even with all my knowledge, I've never heard of a law like that. You’re not just making this up, are you?"
The core in his hand shattered as Yun Wuji sensed his profound energy increase by a slight margin. He let out a sad sigh and asked her calmly, "Sigh... why are you always so suspicious of me? Have I ever lied to you?"
Jasmine fell silent, standing still as she recalled the time they had spent together. Aside from that one incident where he tried to hide his abilities from her, Yun Wuji had never lied to her. In fact, he had even revealed his deepest secrets to her. Thinking about it again, it seemed that, through his actions, he had been quite sincere toward her.
She, on the other hand, had never revealed anything to him, aside from her name.
"Hmph! This princess admits that she may have misjudged you," Jasmine snorted, turning her head away like a tsundere. After a moment, she glanced back at him and asked, "Then what is this Law of Nothingness you speak of?"
"Laws in the primal chaos are divided into basic elemental laws, like water and fire. Above them are the high-grade elemental laws, Light and Darkness. Above those are the supreme laws of creation, which stand above the elemental laws—Time and Space," Yun Wuji explained, taking out a new beast core and beginning to absorb it. "And the origin of all these laws, the law that stands above even the supreme laws... The Law of Nothingness!"
'WTF?' Jasmine wanted to exclaim in surprise, but she bit back her words, refusing to let any expression show on her face. She had just promised herself never to look surprised in front of him, and she wasn’t about to break that promise, Hmph!
"The Law of Nothingness, all things are nothing, all creation returns to the profound," Yun Wuji muttered. Then, with a thoughtful pause, he added, "I managed to comprehend this law after I accidentally got a fragment of the World-Defying Heaven Manual."
"What?!!" Jasmine exclaimed in shock, nearly jumping from her place and completely forgetting her promise. "World-Defying Heaven Manual?! You actually found the inheritance of the Ancestral Goddess?!" She could hardly believe her ears!
According to the memories she inherited from the ancient Star Gods, Jasmine knew that the Ancestral Goddess had left behind a supreme profound art, dividing it into three parts. One part was in the hands of the Heaven Punishing Divine Emperor, another was with the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, and the third part was rumored to be in the possession of the God Race.
But right now this man just said that he found it!
"Yeah, that's right," Yun Wuji nodded casually, continuing, "According to what I learned, the Law of Nothingness is a law that only the Ancestral Goddess could use. She used it to create the Primal Chaos as well. I found this World-Defying Heaven Manual in a place called the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest."
He then went on to tell her about the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, conveniently omitting any mention of the Evil Infant.
"To think that a Primordial Devil was still alive in this world," Jasmine let out a cold breath, patting her flat chest in fright. "Just from this, your contribution to the primal chaos is immense. You could even be considered to have saved the entire primal chaos from a calamity."
"Wait! You only have a single fragment of the World-Defying Heaven Manual, and the Creation Gods and Devil Emperors held two fragments for billions of years, yet there were no news of any of them learning anything from it," Jasmine suddenly realized something, her expression filled with horror. She looked at him, wide-eyed. "You, on the other hand, actually managed to comprehend something from it in such a short time! You... your genius is terrifying!"
"Hey, don't state the obvious," Yun Wuji finished absorbing another core and took another one. He then added, "You need to work on your mental fortitude. Why do you always get surprised by minor details like this? Oh right, you're still a kid. My bad, I'll show more consideration in the future."
"Hmph! You’re the kid! Your whole family are kids!" Jasmine snorted and shouted before disappearing.
"Fucking tsundere..." Yun Wuji shook his head, muttering under his breath. Then as he thought of something. He took out his Sound Transmission Jade and sent a command to his subordinates.
"Ehh?" The moment he finished talking with his subordinate, Yun Wuji sensed a slender, warm hand gripping his rod. He lowered his head and saw Xiao Lingxi looking up at him with a smirk.
"Lingxi, you’re awake?" Yun Wuji put away the core he was about to absorb and gently patted her head, caressing her soft silky hair.
"Hmm, it seems that little Wuji down there is also awake, hehe~" Xiao Lingxi teased, her smirk widening as she gave his hard cock a few pumps. "Do you want me to calm it down?"
After all, Yun Wuji had done all the work yesterday; today, she wanted to do something for him.
"Oh? Sure, I’d like to see how much my Lingxi has learned," Yun Wuji said with a slightly surprised smile, nodding at her.
Xiao Lingxi rose from his embrace, tossing aside the blanket that had been covering her, revealing her bewitching figure.
She climbed on top of him and lowered herself, aligning his rod beneath her pussy. "I don’t think we need any foreplay this time," Her wet entrance was already glistening, her love juices dripping down and coating his hard cock.
"Haaah, ahn~ It's all in! Wuji is inside me~!" With a swift, deliberate motion, she slammed her hips down, her soft butt meeting his thighs as she took his full length into her hungry cunt!
Xiao Lingxi braced herself by placing her hands behind her, gripping his thighs for support. She began moving her hips wildly up and down, her sweet moans filling the room with each motion.
...
At the extreme western edge of the Profound Sky Continent, Xuanyuan Jue put away his Sound Transmission Jade. He and his subordinate had been tasked by Yun Wuji with searching for Divine Crystals in the vast ocean to the west of the continent.
After the cleansing of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, Xuanyuan Jue had risen to become its new Sword Master, a position he owed largely to the efforts of his daughter.
"Listen up! Lord Yun has issued new orders!" Xuanyuan Jue called out to his subordinates, who were diligently combing through the area in their search. Once they gathered around him, he adopted a serious expression and announced, "His Lordship has commanded us to halt all current operations and focus entirely on hunting beasts above the Throne Realm!"
"Hunt down any beast at the Tyrant Profound Realm or Sovereign Profound Realm!" Xuanyuan Jue declared, his voice ringing with authority. "You may keep the body of the beasts, but the cores must be submitted."
"His Lordship has already updated the reward board. The contribution points for an Overlord-level beast core will range from 1,500 to 15,000, while Monarch-level beast cores will earn between 20,000 and 200,000 contribution points!"
"Really? We can finally stop searching for these damned Divine Crystals!" one of the subordinates exclaimed, a relieved smile spread across his face.
"So many contribution points? Lord Yun is so generous!" another added, clearly impressed.
"What do you know?! His Lordship has always been generous to his people!" a third chided, a sense of pride in his tone.
"I didn't mean that, haha! Everyone knows that Lord Yun is kind and generous!" the subordinate quickly corrected himself, realizing his mistake.
"Long live Lord Yun!" one of them shouted, raising his fist in the air.
"May His Lordship live for eternity!" another echoed, as the group burst into unified cheers.
At this moment, one of the subordinates suddenly thought of something and asked Xuanyuan Jue, "Lord Sword Master, if we wantonly kill these beasts, wouldn't there be a risk of us causing a beast riot?"
"Do you think that his Lordship didn't think of that?" Xuanyuan Jue glanced at the man who raised the question and replied, "Since his Lordship gave the orders, he naturally has considered every aspect. As his subordinates, all we need to do is follow his commands and make sure we don't screw up."
