Chapter 370

Mu Yi looked at the corpse on the ground and fell into deep contemplation.

Chi You - Chi You

Legend - Legend

Elite Talent - Elite Talent

Dragon - Giant Dragon

Because cause and effect altered reality, the Dragon‑slayer Brotherhood will invite himself, he will appear here, and the Legend thief he once encountered will also appear here.

Supreme Subtlety - Supreme Subtlety

The purpose is to have himself die at the hands of the Old Golden Dragon, or at the hands of this Legend thief.

And that he can stay alive to witness this course of cause and effect is also because someone wants him to see this cause and effect.

In places he cannot see, at least two immortal deities capable of altering cause and effect have already clashed with him across space.

Death God's Whisper - Death God's Whisper

Asura Dharma Form - Asura Dharma Form

Among everything he has experienced in the past, the only person he can think of who would strike him down is one, and that is the Taiwei of the Dao tradition because he lost the Dao tradition.

Great Summer Dragon Sparrow Sword - Great Summer Dragon Sparrow Sword

Deep Lu Sword - Zhanlu Sword

This is also the biggest enemy I can think of.

After some time passed, I thought the other side had calmed down, but I never expected them to be waiting here for me.

Mu Yi only felt a headache; the enemy lurking in the dark made him feel like a thorn in his back.

This feeling is unpleasant; he can't even settle scores with the hidden mastermind, and even reckoning with the Supreme Void is a bit beyond his current capability.

Huu~

After a moment of contemplation, Mu Yi slowly exhaled a breath.

Mu Yi chuckled lightly: "Struggling with others brings endless joy; that's what makes it interesting!"

He casually incinerated the corpse of the Legend thief on the ground, summoned the soldiers of the Human Realm Dao, and began loading the treasures inside the Dragon's nest into the barrier.

He originally thought this tree hole was the lair of some Dragon, but now it seems it should be this Legend thief's, or rather, something taken from a Dragon by the opposing side.

Everything inside the Dragon's nest was his wealth, riches he stole from the Dragons within the Dragon's Kingdom, and it was precisely this wealth that cost him his life, making a wedding dress for himself.

It sounds casual to say, but in reality it is extremely dangerous.

The divine artifact dagger in this thief's hand is truly a deadly weapon.

【Whisper of the Death God】

Item Level: 40

Quality: Divine (Weak)

Type: Dagger

Special Effects:

1, Venomous Fang:

This weapon can absorb poison, accumulating the toxicity within the poison.

Current accumulated toxicity level: Divine (Weak)

2, Breath Concealment:

When holding this weapon and entering stealth, it will conceal all breath, granting extra detection resistance; non-divine detection means cannot sense the breath.

ps: This dagger of mine is coated with deadly poison! Swoosh~ — Yinying Shisen·Halisa Na (canceled)

Such a fearsome dagger is also effective against divine-level immortals.

Legendary, demigod-level beings, lacking special poison resistance, would likely be unable to withstand this terrifying poison.

Even a mere scratch on the skin could be enough to cause instant death.

Mu Yi put it away, thereby gaining another lethal move; combined with the Uninterrupted, it might produce remarkable results.

There are many good things in the Dragon's nest, after all, anything that this Legend thief would take a liking to is unlikely to be simple goods.

Besides the dagger, there are no other divine artifacts; basically everything is Legend equipment.

Mu Yi also picked out several of them, not for his own use, but for the Asura Dharma Aspect.

For the three-headed, six-armed Asura Dharma Aspect, these weapons can greatly enhance his killing performance.

Looking at the three-headed, six-armed Asura Dharma Aspect wielding blades, swords, spears, and halberds, Mu Yi nodded in satisfaction.

After all, it is a Dharma Aspect condensed with the help of his Elite Talent, inheriting some of his specialties, capable of wielding various weapons in battle; even against a demigod-level opponent, it counts as having a fighting chance.

The remaining items, Mu Yi examined them; though they are not bad, they still fall short compared to the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade or the Clear Deep Sword, and since he lacks the three-headed, six-armed divine ability, even carrying them all would not boost much combat power, instead becoming a burden.

Only one bracelet caught Mu Yi's interest; although it is merely a Legend item, its effect surprisingly allows it to be flung out for an attack.

【Golden Crystal Bracelet】

Item Level: 25

Quality: Gold Legend

Type: Mystic Armament

Effect:

1, Golden Crystal Flying Assault: The equipment can turn into golden light; after activating this ability, it becomes a flying unit to strike the designated target.

Energy can be used to strengthen the attack power; after the strike, it will return on its own.

2, Golden Crystal Incarnation: The equipment can transform into a golden elemental creature for independent combat.

Normally, the golden elemental creature can be strengthened by feeding it metal objects; after its death, it requires feeding a large amount of metal objects to awaken.

The current challenge level of the metal elemental creature is: 22.

This thing reminded Mu Yi of Nezha's Heaven-Earth Ring, which also counted as enriching his combat methods; Mu Yi put it on his wrist, and during battle, suddenly using this thing might allow a surprise victory.

I don't know if we can find someone to add a soul-attack effect to it; if we can do that, then it can be called a surprise-winning killing move.

As for the remaining equipment, Mu Yi also kept nothing private; whatever could be used, he directly gave them all away.

As for those that cannot be used, such as the Philosopher's Stone and the like, Mu Yi plans to take them back to offer as sacrifices to the Nine Tripods.

After each sacrifice, the corresponding world consciousness grows stronger, and the required sacrifices increase; therefore this time, Mu Yi plans to accumulate more.

At first, sacrificing fragments of divine artifacts was effective; now, even throwing in an entire divine artifact may not satisfy this world's consciousness.

Actually, Mu Yi also knows that each of his sacrifices is just a drop in the bucket for world evolution.

The significance of sacrifice is more to stir the Jiuzhou consciousness, causing Jiuzhou's native resources to be tilted toward directed cultivation.

Each sacrifice is more like an evaluation; meeting the standard can draw the Jiuzhou consciousness to mobilize resources to cultivate this world's growth.

However, correspondingly, the requirements for each sacrifice are always one level higher than before.

This is a never-losing deal for Jiuzhou's native land.

It's like the court tilting resources toward localities; in the end, all revenue still counts toward the national finances just the same.

Jiuzhou's native land not only will not be stingy, but will also bestow various rewards.

After Mu Yi emptied everything from the tree hole, he used the Thousand-mile Eye to confirm nothing was left, then directly chose to return to the main world via the comprehensive network.

A phantom appeared in the tree hole.

His whole body was enveloped in pitch-black smoke, standing thus in the void darkness like an abyss; this was not his true body appearing, merely a high-level projection clone.

He gazed at the empty dragon's nest before him, slightly furrowed his brows, sensed a bit, then muttered: 'Again I failed, someone interfered with karma… can't find who is sabotaging, really a troublesome guy!'

'This time again let him survive; next time wanting to find such a suitable opportunity will be even harder...'

'Maybe next time we should let that little guy named Taiwei make a move?'

'How can dealing with this remnant inheriting Chi You's legacy be so difficult? He's just an ant not even counting as an immortal or deity; why is he so hard to kill!'

The pitch-black silhouette was somewhat annoyed; having failed twice in a row against Mu Yi, it made him very angry.

Usually, Hou Tu watches over Mu Yi; they dare not act at all, and even when Hou Tu maintains the samsara cycle, they dare not openly appear to kill Mu Yi, only daring to do some petty scheming.

This time interfering with karma is already the maximum effort they can muster.

They sometimes wonder whether Hou Tu really hasn't found them, or is just using them as a whetstone to let Mu Yi grow faster.

But regardless, their will to not let Mu Yi survive is quite firm.

'Next time, next time, I will definitely kill this brat!'

Just as the pitch-black silhouette was calculating how to avoid the eyes and ears of Heavenly Court and Underworld to kill Mu Yi, a golden light suddenly shot out from the tree hole.

'Hmph!'

The pitch-black silhouette gave a soft cold snort; the golden light was swallowed by the darkness.

At the same time, the message Mu Yi hid within the golden light also sounded in the tree hole.

'I will catch you, you sneaky rat!'

The pitch-black silhouette burst out laughing in anger; he didn't expect that he had inadvertently fallen for Mu Yi's trick.

Although it's just a useless little trick, it's obvious that Mu Yi has already become aware of his existence.

'Next time, I will definitely kill you!'

Like an oath, yet also like muttering to oneself, his form dissipated on the spot.

And after his departure, the entire forest silently turned to dust, dissipating between heaven and earth.

And Mu Yi, having returned to the main world, smiled; he felt that karma had been triggered, meaning indeed someone had gone to the tree hole after he left.

He did not try to use any means to capture the opponent's traces; since the opponent could silently alter so much karma, their strength must have already surpassed ordinary immortals and deities.

His own methods are merely petty tricks before the opponent; he also need not humiliate himself.

Leaving the opponent a harmless little trick is both provoking them and telling them that he will ferret them out.

Gathering his mind, the mastermind behind the scenes is absolutely not something he can currently handle.

Someday, he will settle all accounts.

Grudges must be repaid, whether it's the path he must follow, or his original intention.

After calming his emotions, Mu Yi knocked on Lily's alchemy laboratory.

'Yi, it looks like your harvest is not bad?'

Lily spoke while seemingly conducting some dangerous alchemy experiment; Mu Yi sensed from the experimental materials the aura of the water tribe maidservants in the mansion.

Obviously, these materials came from those water tribe maidservants.

'What are you doing?'

Mu Yi looked curiously at Lily's experiment; he somewhat didn't understand, but he could sense from the experimental materials a rich water tribe bloodline.

'Attempting to purify the water tribe bloodline, the effect is not bad!' Lily casually replied.

Hearing this, Mu Yi blinked, suddenly thinking that his own bloodline perhaps also needed to be restored to its ancestral state and enhanced.

'Lily, can you perform the bloodline purification ritual?'

'Of course, it's not difficult, just a bit troublesome; do you need to undergo this ritual?' Upon hearing this, Lily stopped her actions, lifted her head, and looked at Mu Yi.

'You've already become a Legend, yet you still need to undergo the bloodline purification ritual? Could it be that you have divine blood?'

'Hmm, maybe? It should help me some.'

Mu Yi also wasn't sure whether his Yan-Huang bloodline counts as divine blood.

However, judging solely by strength, Yan Emperor and Yellow Emperor have clearly surpassed the level of divine beings.

In the rumors of the Heavenly Court, the current Heavenly Sovereign who governs the Heavenly Court is actually a great divine being among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, formed by gathering some true spirits and undergoing reincarnation and tribulation.

It sounds mysterious, but no one can produce evidence; it's merely spread as gossip in the Heavenly Court.

'Lily, see if this helps you!'

Mu Yi said, handing the Sage's Stone to Lily; originally he had come to find Lily to deliver this.

But seeing Lily performing a bloodline purification, he remembered that he also needed to undergo such a ceremony.

"Although it's quite evil, it truly is a fine alchemical material."

"It just happens to be useful now; can we do it now? I've prepared a bloodline purification ritual, and with this device the ritual's effect can be stronger." Lily examined the Sage's Stone and said to Mu Yi.

"Now?"

"Aili! Take Mu Yi to the ritual chamber; I'll handle some other preparations here!"

Mu Yi followed Aili into another room.

The room had a special door handle, seeming to belong to a rather unique place, and it appeared to have a magical seal installed.

"This is the place; Your Highness will be here soon, you go in first!"

Aili did not enter; instead, she lightly tapped the rune sigil on the main door, a pale crimson spirit light floated up, and the sound of a magical lock being opened came from behind the door.

Immediately, everything inside appeared before Mu Yi; it was a very spacious room.

Upon entering, a very distinctive fragrance greeted him.

It smelled a bit like Lily's own faint scent, but more like sandalwood; just by inhaling, his bloodline seemed to churn within his body.

Mu Yi saw an ignited incense burner: a carved base with void‑pattern inlay of agate and jade, its golden thread engraved with rune sigils.

Inside the burner lay an unknown material, slowly burning, spreading the churning bloodline aura throughout the room.

One side of the room housed a huge bathroom, where a barely audible flow of water could be heard.

After stepping inside, Mu Yi immediately saw a large bathtub; the most striking feature was a massive magic array beneath the tub.

With Mu Yi's knowledge he could not discern the array, but he could feel the elemental aura it contained.

This bathtub was definitely not simple!

Mu Yi reached into the bathtub and traced a line; instantly he sensed an energy—a converged elemental energy—not explosive at all, but rather very gentle.

Stimulated by this energy, his bloodline grew hotter, as if his entire body were on fire.
