So, to become stronger, he started roaming the world in search of different species of strong women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without realizing, his cultivation level soared, and he possessed the strength equivalent to an emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he had ’tasted’ almost every species that he could find in the Ancient Fairyland suitable for his appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing he had not tried was a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary corpses, of course, cannot be pursued recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one, corpses generally go berserk upon seeing the living. Secondly, corpses practicing Corpse Cultivation usually have a repulsive appearance, and even a person with the most exotic taste wouldn’t dare to proposition one so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, undead who looked just like ordinary people became his first choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, the most powerful undead was the first Beiming Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also at the Return to Origin Realm, with the level of a Heavenly Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the chaotic times of the Ancient Fairyland, she suffered irreversible injuries and her unique world was irreparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cultivation level hadn’t fallen much, but losing her unique world had a significant impact on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor of Heaven, who was then a highly sought-after stallion saw this as an opportunity, and took advantage of her weakened state to pursue her ardently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Beiming Emperor initially refused, but the Emperor of Heaven was persistently shameless. With great effort, he managed to win her over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that he had accomplished his mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t expect that on the very night that the first Beiming Emperor agreed, before he even had the chance to hold her cold hand, he was ambushed and sacrificed at the bedside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, he knew nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only knew that when he woke up, his unique world had been placed near the Beiming Divine Palace in Zhong Shen Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was his body buried with dignity, the first Beiming Emperor had also relocated the Nalan family to the territory of Donghua Immortal Palace in Zhong Shen Zhou, and buried those clansmen of Nalan who had ’sacrificed’ themselves in the evacuation of the Ancient Fairyland in the same burial ground as him. She allowed the Nalan family to come to worship once every million years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor of Heaven himself was very baffled by all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no doubt that Emperor Beiming planned it all, for the unique world had indeed been stripped away using a secret method in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why did Emperor Beiming leave his remnant soul behind...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not eradicate him completely and avoid all the trouble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Beiming left him a thread of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And brought the Nalan family to the Immortal Realm just before the destruction of the Ancient Fairyland, preventing the family from vanishing into history forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor of Heaven didn’t understand it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Emperor Beiming really wanted...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing and Xiang Yunxian were just as confused after hearing everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Emperor Beiming himself probably knew what he intended by orchestrating such a scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Emperor Beiming’s gloomy expression when reminiscing about the past, they smirked without uttering a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could even feel his touch, they were offered as a sacrifice, and their independent world was stripped away by secret methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was truly miserable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had it coming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Beiming clearly rejected him, and yet he shamelessly persisted. Wasn’t this just asking for it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had been clear about his intentions from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t because of any feelings that he pursued Emperor Beiming. He was merely attracted to the Original Yin Initial Red as a zombie-like creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a lowlife!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One last question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing spoke up, asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was the purpose of you finding your own grave with Nalan Longao this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To retrieve the Nine Suns Divine Bones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor of Heaven replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I was just a heavenly emperor level being at the beginning, I formed the Nine Suns Divine Bones, and the qualities of my physical body can be passed on to future generations. This time, I had no other intentions but for Nalan Longao to carry forward my legacy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xiang Yunxian frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you plan on letting Nalan Longao inherit your mantle, then why...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, Li Jing shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First inherit the mantle, and when the time is right, seize the body and be reborn. There is nothing wrong with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xiang Yunxian had a sudden realization and a look of disgust appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a tiger wouldn’t eat its offspring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an ancestor of the Nalan family, Emperor of Heaven actually plotted against his descendents!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of ancestor does this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Li Jing spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for you, he probably intended to enjoy you after he successfully seized the body. Any male in the world would be tempted by a Nine Yin Body. As its counterpart, the body of the Nine Suns would be the most beneficial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly hearing this, Xiang Yunxian’s beautiful eyes widened, and she incredulously looked towards Emperor of Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the Emperor of Heaven honestly shrugged and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Jiu is very meticulous, I concede.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blunt reply made Xiang Yunxian feel the strongest threat to her chastity she’d ever experienced. She quickly turned to Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Jiu, this remnant soul is probably useless now. Would you do me a favor and eliminate him? In exchange, I’ll agree to anything you want, even my own body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not particularly interested in Xiang Yunxian’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an exceptional anomaly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need to exploit the benefits of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, what he least needed was to enhance his origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone who possessed six origins, was he short of origin power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the huge benefits of getting Xiang Yunxian were likely not as great as him swatting the Emperor of Heaven to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the health bar above Emperor of Heaven’s head was down to a sliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be easy to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being at the level of a heavenly emperor, the essence source indicator behind his health bar was astonishingly close to fifty million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to effortlessly collect nearly fifty million essence sources, plus a promise that whatever he wanted Xiang Yunxian would agree to-- this was too tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Heaven became uneasy at the sudden suggestion from Xiang Yunxian, who was sitting across him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Xiang, the past is the past. Even if I retrieve the Nine Suns Divine Bones and find another suitable body to possess and be reborn, I wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving a formal reply, Emperor Heaven looked back at Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Jiu, we don’t have any past grudges or resentments. There’s no need for us to confront each other. Besides, I know quite a bit about the Ancient Fairyland. If you spare my life and have any questions in the future, feel free to seek me out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On hearing this, Li Jing blinked, then turned his head and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yunxian, it might indeed be useful to keep him. Don’t worry, he won’t dare to harm you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Li Jing’s assurance, Xiang Yunxian naturally wouldn’t insist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his statement was tantamount to acknowledging his protection over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With him as her backer, even if the Four Emperors came, she might not feel scared, let alone a mere remnant soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she reluctantly nodded, Xiang Yunxian asked with hesitation again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if he continues to harm others...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t everyone in the Immortal Realm devouring each other?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compared to this remnant soul, that won’t pose a danger to you, Yunxian, you still need to be cautious when dealing with others in the future, especially since your physical constitution is something any normal man would drool over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bewildered, Xiang Yunxian fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood the logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was Li Jing implying that he himself was not a normal man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were a normal man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hadn’t she seen him drooling over her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Heaven, who was sitting across, noticed that Li Jing didn’t mean to make things difficult for him. He quietly heaved a sigh of relief and spoke up with a small voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, Master Jiu, could you ask those below to help me find my Nine Suns Divine Bones? Nalan Longao’s body has been destroyed, and I can barely interact with physical objects as a fragment of a soul, but I lack the ability to search within the completely destroyed tomb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That can be arranged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing responded, then grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if I’m to help, you’ll have to pay.
