Chapter 86

The Fifth Saint!

This rather strange name and surname, along with that suspicious identity, added to the clues from before, were enough for Li Yu to understand.

Within the Mystic Realm of Mount Mount Zhangyi, there was no such thing as a shortcut path.

Could the cause of all this be some sort of perverted experiment cooked up by an evil cultivator from the 【Sacred Nest】?

Carrying this doubt, Li Yu continued to watch:

"After the Fifth Saint performed the forbidden technique, he kept his eldest brother by his side and took him as a disciple, teaching him the cultivation of the Ancient Saint path."

"After raising the other two until they were older, he coaxed them, saying that if they did not wish to die young and wanted all three brothers to attain eternal life, two of them would need to retrieve the essence and secret techniques of the Daoist and Buddhist paths respectively."

"The two agreed and were sent to White Horse Temple and Green Sheep Palace, respectively."

"Because of their outstanding talent, both quickly ascended to Sequence Six of their respective paths and obtained portions of the core heritage."

"Afterward, they both used the excuse of traveling abroad to return to Mount Mount Zhangyi."

"Who would have thought that by this time, their long-awaited eldest brother, 'Zhu Zhu Zhishan,' had been completely bewitched by his master, his heart and soul fallen, intending to devour his two brothers once more and merge into one, in order to break through to Sequence Five, or even Sequence Four, of the Ancient Saint path in one fell swoop."

"Only then did the two realize that from birth to cultivation, the three brothers were all part of an experiment by this 【Fifth Saint】, who came from the Sacred Nest, a mysterious organization that worshipped the evil Ancient Saint god, and was one of its high-ranking members with heaven-defying cultivation and immense power; the purpose of the experiment was to compile a secret manual of cultivation."

"Even with the conspiracy exposed, the two brothers could not resist and were forced to merge with their eldest brother again, suffering contamination in the process and turning into a fallen monster that gathered all three paths."

"From that day on, Mount Mount Zhangyi became the testing ground for the three brothers, like a human Mystic Realm."

"But on the very day Zhu Zhu Zhishan ascended to Sequence Five 【Law-Transmitting Saint】, for some unknown reason, his master, the Fifth Saint, left without a word and disappeared abruptly."

"The two brothers, having accidentally regained consciousness, took the opportunity to pray to the Buddha and Haotian respectively."

"The two True Gods truly granted their divine response and grace, not only allowing the two to regain their freedom but also briefly enhancing their strength; after a great battle, the three brothers perished together."

"But after their deaths, all three developed deep-seated obsessions, controlling their respective remains to entangle with each other to this day."

When Li Yu finished reading this preface of secrets, he felt his knowledge had greatly increased.

He looked at the ninth Truth Bubble, and the charging progress had indeed jumped forward by a significant margin.

"So, this is the truth about the Mount Mount Zhangyi Mystic Realm."

"There was no such thing as an extraordinary person attaining the Dao and giving back to their hometown; it was a bloody and cruel experiment."

"The three brothers themselves were the experiment, and later, when they became the 【Old Demon of Ultimate Goodness】, they conducted an even more perverted experiment that killed tens of thousands of people."

"And there was no such thing as divine retribution from a True God; it looks more like Haotian and the Buddha discovered that their followers—or rather, the sects they left in the mortal world—had been fooled, so they granted their grace and fought against another evil Ancient Saint god, finally perishing together."

"If the culprit, the Fifth Saint, hadn't disappeared abruptly, the outcome would have been a foregone conclusion."

"Hmm? What a terrifying secret manual."

While Li Yu was sighing, he subconsciously continued to read on.

But the subsequent content of the notebook was no longer a story of secrets.

It was a decrypted cultivation secret technique from the end of the Warring States era, originating from the Ancient Saint path.

Although it did not contain the secret medicine formulas he had expected, such as "Scholar" or "Mad Scholar."

Yet, the forbidden techniques involving flesh modification, the extraction of living beings, and the creation of new races, as well as the cruel experiments used as proof, all made Li Yu frown involuntarily.

"In terms of cruelty, even the mad secret techniques of the 【Jinshen Sect】 are not as bad as these."

"Are the people in the Sacred Nest all truly insane?"

Just as Li Yu was surprised.

Abruptly, the notification sound of the Demon Star Command rang out again:

"This conquest mission is about to end!"

"The countdown to return has begun; all surviving Command Holders, please prepare."

"Conquest mission settlement evaluation in progress... evaluation complete."

"Only two Command Holders survived this conquest. The Command Holder with the code name 【Calamity Star】, due to completing the side quests and special main quests such as collecting root vessels, collecting Dao rhymes, sacrificing the three flowers, and the Mount Mount Zhangyi Mystic Realm, has the highest contribution to this Mystic Realm conquest and is awarded an additional two hundred merit points."

"Return!"

Upon hearing the countdown begin, Li Yu quickly checked his gains and directly dripped blood on the sachet to claim ownership, although it was unlikely to be lost, it was better to be safe than sorry.

When he finished listening to everything, a helpless, bitter smile could not help but appear on his face.

"Hmm? First place again. It seems this woman Cui Cui Minmin is also unlucky; she couldn't sacrifice the remaining two flowers, at least one was snatched away by that Sister Qingnv."

"But can't this announcement hide my code name?"

The Demon Star Command ignored Li Yu's grumbling and sent him directly back to this Demon Star space.

At the same time!

On the other side, at the peak of Mount Mount Zhangyi.

Both the righteous and evil sides had different moods.

Just as Li Yu guessed, although Cui Cui Minmin had gained the upper hand, she still failed to sacrifice the two demons at the same time; just after sacrificing the demon monk, the demon Daoist had already fallen into the hands of Sister Qingnv, and three thousand merit points flew away directly.

If that were all, it would be fine; what truly made her face gloomy was the Demon Star notification that followed.

Both the number of tasks Li Yu completed and his code name caused Cui Cui Minmin's heart to surge with stormy waves.

"【Calamity Star】?"

"Is that little bastard the same Calamity Star who persecuted the Sacred Nest's heaven-favored Brother Shang Yang last time?"

"What path is this kid on, to be able to play the role of the Sorrowful Corpse so realistically that even I was fooled?"

"Good, this is truly great. If such a hidden heaven-favored talent could enjoy pleasure under me, that would truly be the greatest joy in the world." "As long as I think of it, I..."

Cui Cui Minmin was indeed perverted to a certain degree.

One second she was guessing Li Yu's cultivation path and sequence, the next second she already had other fantasies, her face flushed with peach blossoms, her whole body flushed, only missing the sound that was too unbearable to listen to.

However, soon, she was also sent back to the Demon Star space.

And the Reincarnator side also ushered in the return time.

But at this very moment, the little nun Sister Sister Miaochang, who had been looking sad since that incident.

Suddenly, she seemed to feel something unusual.

On that pale little face, a look of surprise suddenly appeared, and she almost couldn't help but cheer:

"The sachet, the sachet has been claimed with blood."

=9+Shu_Ba

"Brother Ren is still alive, he must still be alive."

"He must have suffered very serious injuries and only just woke up..."

When Sister Sister Miaochang's imagination was halfway through, the wisdom she had lost due to excessive worry about Li Yu, the bubble-blowing sword cultivator, gradually returned.

Although she was not deeply involved in the world, she was not stupid.

In fact, she was a very intelligent little nun.

In the blink of an eye, Sister Sister Miaochang had discovered some oddities in this, such as the coincidence that the sachet was only claimed at this time, and the fact that a powerful sword cultivator eventually died without a corpse, and even the corpse or traces of that toad demon were not found... and so on.

Thinking of the warnings from her elders before entering the reincarnation, she had some bad guesses in her heart.

But she didn't say it out loud, nor did she mention that "Ren Shou" was still alive.

"Regardless of whether Brother Ren is impersonated by a Demon Star Command Holder!"

"At least at that time, he did save my life at the cost of his own."

"The three fallen Buddhist treasures he gave me are also worth more than the sachet."

"Mother Buddha is above, this disciple does not know if this act is right or wrong, I only act according to my heart, hoping for Mother Buddha's guidance."

Sister Sister Miaochang finished praying silently in her heart.

Until the moment of return, she didn't feel any blame from Lady Lady Lingying, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In her heart, she firmly believed again:

"Sure enough, even Mother Buddha thinks Brother Ren is a good person."

"He must have some hidden reason for hiding his identity."

"I hope to see Brother Ren again next time."

Li Yu didn't know that two women were already missing him, one truly worried about his safety, and the other wanting to have a battle with him.

And the latter soon took action.

Li Yu had just been sent back to the Demon Star Ocean and hadn't had time to review this Mystic Realm conquest in his heart, nor had he had time to see how much merit he had gained this time.

In his mind, a very special notification sound suddenly came:

"The Command Holder with the code name 'Sun-Eating Star' is using her authority to initiate a call request to you. This call requires the initiator to pay one hundred merit points for every ten breaths it lasts. Both parties in the conversation will be in the form of a Demon Star, and there is no possibility of any leak. Do you agree?"

"The Command Holder paid one hundred merit points and included a message: Little brother, hurry up and agree. I have important matters to discuss with you, involving the trouble you caused in the Mystic Realm last time, as well as your future life and death."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu frowned immediately.

Does the Demon Star Command actually have this kind of authority?

Obviously, his experience was too little, and his development of the Demon Star Command was far from comparable to these Command Holders who had experienced many Mystic Realms or had backgrounds and backers.

After thinking for a while, Li Yu nodded and said:

"Agree!"

When the two words fell, in the Demon Star Ocean hanging upside down above Li Yu's head, one suddenly fell in front of him.

Inside, Cui Cui Minmin's seductive voice came immediately:

"Little brother, so you are the Calamity Star."

"Do you know that you pitted the heaven-favored talent named Brother Shang Yang of the Sacred Nest last time, causing the master and disciple to lose face in the 【Wanfu Star Cluster】, and also making many powerful seniors interested in you."

"And some powerful people boredly initiated a bounty on you. If you can be found, whether it is a reality wonder or merit points, the reward is not low."

"I didn't expect to run into you, Cui Cui Minmin. You really didn't live up to your reputation. I finally subdued a group of slaves, and they were all ruined by you. You must have earned tens of thousands of merit points on this trip, right?"

"Tsk tsk, it's been a long time since such a heaven-defying newcomer appeared. You are only in your second Mystic Realm conquest... In two conquests, among all the Demon Star Command Holders, only I and Brother Shang Yang survived because of you."

"Sister is really curious about you to death. What will it take for you to agree to have pleasure with me once? Wonders, money, merit points, you name the reward."

"The location and the way of pleasure are also up to you. I, Cui Minmin, will accompany you."

Li Yu could hear that this woman was just saying these tiger-wolf words, and she had already started to fantasize, and later the tone of her voice even began to become wrong.
