Chapter 209: The Conspiracy of the Immortal King of Six Desires?
The God-defier enjoyed a moment of tranquility, then revealed a look of carefree relief.
"Little friend, thank you for rescuing me, though I fear I can hardly repay this kindness; after all, the grudge from when I plotted against you still needs to be settled by me."
Hearing the other party say such things, Han Yu waved his hand. To be honest, having seen the other party's performance just now, Han Yu felt that the guy had likely been tortured to the point of schizophrenia; the one who harmed him earlier and the one now could probably not be considered the same person.
So, to continue being angry at him and demand he pay with his life felt somewhat unreasonable.
Han Yu spoke up to indicate that he could let go of the previous matter, but this God-defier shook his head.
"Little friend, that won't do. I have always been clear about gratitude and grudges throughout my life. Since I plotted against you, regardless of whether it was against my true intent, I must take responsibility. What's more, the me from back then was a part of the me now; what he did, perhaps in some sense, represented the thoughts in my heart."
The God-defier sighed deeply.
"I am truly afraid now, and I no longer have the heart to resist. Even if I regain my freedom, the me of the past is already dead."
"So, I ask that you grant me a swift end, little friend, and let me re-enter reincarnation to find that lost original heart. If Fan Ling Jie has not yet been destroyed, perhaps in ten million years, you and I will have the chance to meet again. At that time, we must drink and talk to our hearts' content!"
Han Yu understood the other party's meaning. This senior felt that his own will had developed a crack. Although he had regained his freedom, because his past self had backstabbed Han Yu, the mere thought of it left his Dao heart flawed, which was absolutely not a good thing for his future cultivation.
Since that was the case, it was better to pay with his life to settle the past grudge, so that even if his soul entered reincarnation again, it would not be affected by such matters.
Han Yu thought for a moment and decided to grant this senior's wish. He channeled the power of Heaven and Man to strike him down directly. In the dark, Han Yu saw countless minute strands of power merging into the world; these were the senior's origin power. They drifted between Heaven and Earth, and after countless years, they might reorganize and be reborn through reincarnation.
It was just that this kind of irregular, chaotic reincarnation was full of uncertainty; perhaps he would never be able to be reborn in his entire life, which was not an impossibility.
Especially in a situation where no one remembered him, the speed of such reincarnation and rebirth would be greatly slowed.
However, this senior had not left nothing behind. At the place where he perished, he had left his Shengge fragment for Han Yu. As Han Yu had expected, a senior capable of withstanding the suppression of an Immortal King for hundreds of millions of years indeed possessed no weak cultivation.
That Sacred Song was incomparably pure; at its peak, his cultivation had likely reached the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal!
It was probably only one step away from the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
Han Yu tucked the senior's Shengge into his pocket. For Han Yu, collecting the Dao paths of others, especially those of the strong, was of immense benefit to perfecting his own progression toward the Great Dao of Heaven and Man.
The Great Dao of Heaven and Man was all-encompassing and inherently required borrowing and imitating the Dao paths of others to subsequently reshape them into similar paths suitable for himself.
This senior having cultivated to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm meant his insights into the Way were of great benefit to Han Yu.
Having resolved the matter here, Han Yu continued to fly, heading toward other parts of Jue Ling Shen Yuan.
The second place he went to was the location of the senior who had warned him back when Han Yu was still in the King realm.
Now, in the blink of an eye, several decades had passed, and he did not know how that senior was doing.
Soon, Han Yu arrived at that former Jue Ling Shen Yuan; this place was located near Qingzhou.
Han Yu dived down rapidly. He clearly sensed that the power of Jue Ling in this place was significantly more ferocious than in the previous location. The so-called power of Jue Ling was a method of the Immortal King of Six Desires. Generally speaking, the stronger the God-defier, the more concentrated the power of Jue Ling required to suppress them.
As Han Yu dived deeper, he felt that even as the Small Heavenly Dao, it was becoming somewhat strenuous.
"My current cultivation is still insufficient. If I were to achieve the status of an Immortal God, these powers of Jue Ling should not have much influence on me. It is a pity that I am still too weak."
Han Yu's fatal flaw was his cultivation realm, as his combat power had long since far exceeded that of ordinary Immortal Gods.
Fortunately, Han Yu had obtained some minor methods to reduce the power of Jue Ling from the Shengge of the previous God-defier, so relying on this, he was not affected much by the power of Jue Ling.
In a flash of thought, a figure appeared within Han Yu's perception.
Long before Han Yu approached within a certain range, that figure had already sensed his presence. However, that figure remained silent, and only after Han Yu appeared within a certain range did a massive surge of Immortal Power erupt, rushing to annihilate Han Yu.
Han Yu did not react in time and was annihilated by that massive surge of Immortal Power.
Of course, this was only an annihilation on the surface; Han Yu's origin had already merged with the Heavenly Dao of this realm, so what was annihilated was merely one of his shadows.
Seeing the God-defier senior annihilate his phantom, Han Yu was very puzzled. He was both amazed at the other party's combat power—even after being suppressed for so many years, it was likely not inferior to a powerhouse of the Profound Immortal realm.
And he did not understand why the other party had struck to kill the moment he saw him, without giving him any time to speak.
After that figure killed Han Yu, he was instead very surprised and muttered to himself.
"Strange, how could the believer sent by that guy this time be so weak? It looks like at most a God Guard of the Heavenly Immortal realm..."
Perhaps having been suppressed for too long, he had developed the habit of talking to himself, which was also a way to alleviate his loneliness.
In this Jue Ling Shen Yuan, the pain of being eroded by the power of Jue Ling every moment was hard to endure, but even harder to endure was the loneliness of endless years passing by.
It was precisely his muttering that let Han Yu know the other party had misunderstood, so he immediately appeared to explain.
"Senior, I am not a God Guard. I am also from Fan Ling Jie. Have you forgotten? We have met?"
Han Yu's sudden appearance gave the God-defier a great fright. Even though he was knowledgeable and experienced, he had never seen such a method of appearing silently, and besides, hadn't that guy just been annihilated by him?
How was he like a ghost?
Hearing Han Yu's words, the God-defier sneered.
"What, coercion and bribery didn't work, so you switched to coaxing? Do you think that after torturing me for so many years, I have gone mad or stupid, and will be fooled by you?"
"Senior, last time you warned me..."
Han Yu roughly described the situation from last time to the man. The man recalled it, but his eyes remained full of disbelief.
"Although I haven't seen that person from last time, I could vaguely sense that the other party was just a junior in the King realm. Not much time has passed, has it? For you to arrive here safe and sound, you must be at least a Heavenly Immortal. Do you really think this old man is so easily fooled? Ridiculous!"
"I will not mistake the aura on your body; it is very similar to that of the Immortal King of Six Desires. If you are not his believer, then am I?"
The old man sneered incessantly. Han Yu sighed helplessly; he stopped wasting words and directly channeled the power of the Demonic Dao to forcibly absorb the negative energy on the other party.
"Scoundrel, what are you doing!"
"Senior, I am saving you."
"Saving me? Heh, ridiculous. Do you think I am so easily deceived? If you are not a believer of the Immortal King of Six Desires, how could you possibly have the means to save me? If you are a believer of the Immortal King of Six Desires, how could you possibly save me?"
The man kept muttering; Han Yu could see that the other party still had problems with his mental state to some extent.
Perhaps unlike the previous God-defier, he had not turned evil, but his attitude toward the Immortal King of Six Desires had become increasingly extreme. He refused to believe that Han Yu was not a believer of the Immortal King of Six Desires, and everything looked like a scheme by the Immortal King of Six Desires.
The old man shouted and yelled, simply unwilling to cooperate with Han Yu. However, Han Yu's Demonic Dao had already achieved some success, and he did not need the other party's cooperation to forcibly absorb those negative energies.
After all, these negative energies were not the old man's cultivation; they were merely born because of him and attached to him, and he could not actually utilize them.
Thus, as those negative energies were gradually absorbed by Han Yu, the old man became calmer and calmer. It seemed his intelligence had regained the high ground, and feeling the aura on Han Yu, he seemed to remember something.
"You have an aura on you that I am familiar with?"
"Oh? Senior, have you remembered?"
"Remembered something? I am saying that you possess the aura of my Youxian lineage; could it be that you are a descendant of my Youxian Sect?"
Hearing these words from the old man, Han Yu was also shaken.
Although he had practiced many paths, his initial foundation was all laid within the Youxian Sect; even though his subsequent cultivation was feedback from the system, it had not completely erased the traces of the Youxian Sect's inheritance from him.
He did not expect this senior to be related to the Youxian Sect, so Han Yu spoke directly to explain, roughly describing his relationship with the Youxian Sect.
Upon hearing Han Yu say that the Youxian Sect had declined to the point of having only some King-realm and Emperor-realm cultivators, the old man sighed heavily.
"I didn't expect my Wandering Immortal Sect to have declined to this extent; however, after so many years as a ghost body, the Mortal Spirit Realm has likely been thoroughly infiltrated by that Yinghuo Immortal Dynasty, so it is reasonable that it has declined."
Back in the day, the Youxian Sect was a gathering place for crowds of Immortals; otherwise, it would not have been called by that name.
"Senior, I have yet to ask for your name."
"Hehe, I am the founding patriarch of the Youxian Sect, Xiaoyaozi!"
Han Yu had heard of Xiaoyaozi's name; he just did not expect that this fellow was actually still alive.
He was, at any rate, considered a member of the Youxian Sect; did he not have to call this fellow 'Old Ancestor' now?
Xiaoyaozi did not seem to have any intention of putting on airs and spoke directly: "Little friend, I consider myself to have quite a discerning eye, yet why can I not see through you? Although you have some of the aura of my Youxian lineage, that aura is far too weak, and my Youxian Sect has no such methods. Who exactly are you, and what has happened outside? Could you tell me one by one?"
Han Yu gave a rough account of the situation outside; upon learning that Han Yu had single-handedly wiped out the entire God-Worshiping Hall and even defeated a group of Profound Immortals, Xiaoyaozi was truly shocked.
However, when he subsequently heard that Han Yu had created his own Demonic Dao, wanting to use it to absorb the negative energy from them and thereby save them, Xiaoyaozi immediately shook his head.
"Little friend Han Yu, I have a cruel fact to tell you; perhaps for you, saving us is not a good thing."
"And when you saved the previous person, the Six Desires Immortal King must have already sensed it. With his methods, even from across ten thousand star seas, he can manipulate the Jue Ling Shen Yuan to counterattack your Heavenly Dao power. The reason he allows you to continue saving people is that this is exactly the situation he wants to see."
"You have perhaps been schemed against by him!"
