My genius is frightening!
🕑 Added 2024-12-04 19:23:18 +0000 UTC"Im... Impossible!" Jasmine staggered a few steps back and fell to the ground. As she fell, her skirt rolled up, revealing her underwear, but she paid no attention to it. Her trembling finger pointed at Yun Wuji, her eyes shrinking to pin-size as shock overwhelmed her.
She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. It was as if reality itself had shattered, plunging her into an absurd, nightmarish delusion. No—not even a dream! No one, not even in their wildest, most unhinged imaginings, would dare conjure something so impossibly absurd and utterly ridiculous!
Seventy-eight profound entrances!
All living human beings in this world are born with profound veins, and without exception, whether mortal or even creation gods possess exactly 54 profound entrances! This unchanging truth had stood as the bedrock of cultivation, an irrefutable fact woven into the very fabric of existence.
It was as fundamental as fire being hot, the sun rising in the east, or water flowing downhill. To claim otherwise would be like suggesting the heavens themselves could fall or that day and night might trade places. No one had ever seen, heard, or even imagined someone with more or less than 54 profound entrances.
It was absolute, the ultimate common sense that defied debate!
But… but right now, someone had shattered the very foundation of those fundamental laws and common sense before her eyes! Not only did he have more profound entrances than normal, he had a staggering total of seventy-eight!
It wasn't just unprecedented; it was unthinkable, a direct defiance of the natural order of the universe. This wasn't merely bending the rules, it was as if those rules had been torn apart and rewritten entirely!
"Sigh, do you understand now why I tried to hide the truth from you?" Yun Wuji let out a helpless sigh, walking toward her and extending a hand to help her up.
"Who... no... what are you?!" Jasmine didn't take his hand, instead, she stared at him, her eyes trembling with disbelief. The way she viewed him had completely changed, no longer seeing him as a mere lowly mortal from a lower realm, but as a monstrous anomaly beyond her comprehension!
"I am your disciple, Yun Wuji," Yun Wuji said with a warm smile as he reached out and gently held her small hand. "Why are you acting like a scared child? Get up!" He shook his head inwardly, thinking, 'This little girl's mental fortitude is far weaker than the divine spirits.'
He hadn't expected her to react so dramatically.
'Well, I can finally say that my genius is terrifying!'
'Alright, let's set a new goal—scaring someone to death with my genius!'
"..." Jasmine's eyes didn't leave his face, and she remained silent, not even reacting as he helped her into a seat.
"Here, have a hot chocolate to calm down," Yun Wuji said as he took out some hot chocolate from the Sky Poison Pearl, poured it into a cup, and handed it to Jasmine.
"Master, I want some too," the Evil Infant, who had been silently watching the show earlier, suddenly piped up.
"..." Yun Wuji gave her a helpless look and poured a cup for her as well.
Jasmine held the cup in her slightly trembling hands, her gaze dropping to the rich brown chocolate inside. The sweet, delicious aroma finally managed to stir her, and with a sigh, she raised the cup to her lips and took a sip.
'As expected, sweets are the way to deal with children,' Yun Wuji thought with a nod of satisfaction. But then, a sudden concern crossed his mind. 'Wait... the FBI won't come after me for this, right?'
"I've never seen a freak like you in my entire life," Jasmine finally recovered from her shock and said.
"You're only 13 years old, what could you have possibly seen in such a short life?" Yun Wuji scoffed at her attempt to act like an adult.
"..." The hand holding the cup tightened, and she seriously considered smacking him. But, annoyingly enough, his absurd response managed to jolt her out of her shock.
"Now, do you believe what I said earlier?" Yun Wuji leaned back in his chair and said.
"...Somewhat, but... how could someone like you even exist?" Jasmine nodded slowly. Even though she didn't want to believe his claims, she had no choice but to, because there was nothing more unbelievable than profound veins with 78 entrances!
Poor little girl, she had no idea that the man in front of her had done something even more outrageous. He was someone who had been conscious even when he was still a sperm.
"I don't know, maybe I'm just built different," Yun Wuji said with a shrug, spreading his hands. His expression practically screamed: I'm the chosen one, it's not my fault I was born superior to you lowly mortals.
'...Why do I feel looked down upon?' Jasmine felt an irritating feeling crawl up her spine as she glared at his smug expression. Suppressing her annoyance, she asked again, "What did you mean earlier by predicting the future?"
"It is an innate ability I was born with, from time to time and under certain conditions and when I pay the right price, I can see future events," Yun Wuji told her the lie that he cooked to cover up his meta-knowledge.
If one day someone requested him to see the future of something he didn't know about, he could just claim that he hadn't fulfilled the necessary conditions or that the price for using his ability was too high.
"What do you mean by certain conditions and a high price?" Jasmine asked further. If what he said was true, then this ability of his could be truly overpowered!
"Conditions had to be related to the object that I want to see the future of. Let's take you, for example, I used myself to see what would be beneficial for me in the future, and I saw a vision of you two years ahead," Yun Wuji uttered loads of bullshit that sounded convincing. He paused before adding, "As for the price, it differs, but even the lowest price isn't something you can casually pay." As he said that, a sad and regretful look flashed on his face before he smiled again.
"..." Jasmine caught the complex look on his face and stopped asking. She guessed that the 'price' he had to pay for using such a heaven-defying ability must be astronomically high.
"We went off track because of you. Give me the Heretic God's Indestructible blood," Yun Wuji said, feeling that he had spouted enough nonsense for today and decided to return to the main topic.
He had spent so much time bullshitting her because he knew she would be sticking to him 24/7. There was no way he could hide any secrets from her, so the best option was to feed her with believable lies, no matter how ridiculous they seemed. After all, with his profound veins, what could be more unbelievable than that? He held an absolute advantage.
He could always attribute his lies to his profound veins. The Phoenix, Azure Dragon, and Golden Crow had all been bullshitted by him, mainly because they had witnessed his profound veins, which defied all logic. When you had something as outrageous as that backing you up, who would dare question the lies that you spouted?
"Hmph! Here, take it," Jasmine snorted and flicked her finger, sending the blood flying toward his direction.
"Thanks," Yun Wuji held the Heretic God's blood and looked at it with a complex look. This was the strongest inheritance in this current world; anyone who got it would dominate people a greater realm than them. But to Yun Wuji, this was just an addition, it can't compare to his profound veins.
He walked over to his body which was sitting on the ground, motionless. His bodies were controlled remotely by him; they weren't clones with separate consciousnesses or independent personalities. He had to split his attention and multitask to control them, much like using both hands to draw a circle with the right hand and a square with the left.
If he withdrew his control from the body, it would stop functioning, becoming nothing more than a dead, soulless body.
Yun Wuji stretched out the hand holding the Heretic God's blood and placed it on the body's chest, injecting the blood into it.
The moment the dark-red drop of blood entered the body, tens of bloodstain-like crimson lines erupted wildly across the body, originating from his chest. The lines spread across his entire body in an instant, his chest, hands, legs, face, ears, and even his pupils were now filled with blood-colored channels, resembling demonic markings.
Yun Wuji braced himself for the intense pain, recalling how Yun Che had undergone a torturous process when he digested the drop of blood in the novel. However, to his surprise, the pain he experienced was not nearly as intense as he had anticipated. There was some discomfort, but it was far from the excruciating agony he had expected.
'Right! I forgot, this body doesn't have profound veins, so the process isn't as painful,' he suddenly realized.
Normally, if someone were to use the Heretic God's blood, the blood would devour the existing Profound Veins and give birth to new ones. The process of having your Profound Veins devoured was naturally excruciatingly painful.
"Did you really create this cloning technique?" While he was paying attention to his body, Jasmine's voice came from his side. She had come over to observe the body.
"Hmm, I created this technique when I was still a kid, I guess," Yun Wuji nodded casually, splitting his attention to controlling the body.
"..." Jasmine's iris shrank upon hearing his response. Although she had expected something like this, it still filled her with shock and even a hint of fear! How could someone who hadn't even stepped into the Divine Way, and was still not yet in his twenties, have created a technique so exquisite and mysterious?
This man's genius is...is frightening!
After waiting for a long while, the body finally opened its eyes and stood up. Yun Wuji took control, guiding the body to circulate its minuscule profound energy. As he focused, he noticed that only 11 profound entrances had opened.
Yun Wuji lifted his hand and placed it on the body's chest. The Sky Poison Pearl immediately emitted a beam of dark green light, which dissolved into the body and flowed through the Heretic God's profound veins.
In a few moments, all fifty-four Profound Entrances were opened.
"...!!!" Jasmine's eyes widened, her lips parting in disbelief at the scene.
"Can you please stop being shocked at every turn? Honestly, it's getting annoying," Yun Wuji glanced at her and said.
