Inside the Soul Ring, Yan Xi's voice sounded.
"That Mo Yuan was a Heart Demon born from obsession."
"If he hadn't sacrificed himself in the end, his obsession would likely have been freedom. But after what happened, that's no longer the case. More accurately, his obsession was the prosperity of his family."
"He was trapped there for countless years, forced to watch his family decline from glory into ruin while being powerless to intervene. Under such long-term despair and helplessness, a Heart Demon was eventually born."
"If you hadn't possessed the strength to defeat him, he would have attempted to possess your body and personally lead the Mo Family back to greatness."
So that was the truth.
Mo Yu relayed Yan Xi's explanation to Chu Yuli word for word.
After listening, Chu Yuli nodded thoughtfully, her eyes filled with admiration.
Master is truly incredible.
Not only is his strength unfathomable, but his knowledge is also so vast.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Mo Yu felt slightly embarrassed.
How could he possibly know all that?
He was merely borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha.
At that moment, the surrounding scenery began to distort.
The two of them found themselves back inside the Mo Family Ancestral Hall.
Mo Yu sensed the surroundings for a moment.
The Secret Realm had completely vanished.
"Master, where are we going next?"
"We'll use the nearest sect's teleportation array to return to the Heavenly Profound Holy Land."
"The Heavenly Profound Holy Land?!"
Chu Yuli exclaimed in shock.
Although she had little experience and had never heard of the Holy Land before, she knew this was the Heavenly Profound Domain.
Any force that could directly use the words "Heavenly Profound" in its name had to be a colossal existence.
Looking at her flushed face, Mo Yu smiled faintly.
"The Heavenly Profound Holy Land is the strongest force in the Heavenly Profound Domain and one of the Nine Great Human Powers."
"You'll learn the details after we return. Those are basic introductory lessons."
After saying that, he summoned his Flying Sword.
Taking Chu Yuli with him, he flew toward the nearest sect: Profound Sword Villa.
---
Rumble~
While riding the Flying Sword, a soft growl suddenly came from Chu Yuli's stomach.
"Master... I'm hungry."
Her face instantly reddened with embarrassment.
Only then did Mo Yu remember that she had yet to reach the Stage where food is unnecessary.
Looking down, he saw an endless forest beneath them.
Ancient trees towered into the sky, their dense canopies blocking out the sunlight.
Mo Yu descended and landed within the forest.
"I didn't bring any Fasting Pills. Let me see if there are any Demon Beasts nearby."
"Mm."
Chu Yuli nodded obediently.
Mo Yu spread out his Divine Sense.
Strangely enough, the area was almost devoid of Demon Beasts.
There wasn't even a single large beast within range.
Frowning slightly, he expanded his search radius.
Finally, at the very edge of his Divine Sense, he discovered a rabbit Demon Beast in the Golden Core Realm.
Its ruby-red eyes sparkled with intelligence.
Its long ears twitched occasionally.
It looked fluffy, adorable...
And delicious.
Mo Yu nodded inwardly.
With a thought, his Flying Sword shot forward like a streak of lightning.
The sharp whistle of the blade echoed through the forest as it accelerated like a missile.
At that exact moment, the System's notifications rang out.
[Detected Luck...]
[As a qualified villain, you have mastered the art of kill-stealing.]
[You took advantage of the fact that the Daughter of Luck, Xiao Wu, had not yet matured and instantly killed her.]
[Reward: Divine Ability — Indestructible Golden Body]
[Automatically cultivated to Perfection.]
[You have successfully killed the beloved of the Child of Destiny, Tang Si.]
[He is presumably drowning in grief at this very moment. Luck is being plundered.]
[Luck +1000]
[Villain Points +1000]
A flood of notifications left Mo Yu utterly bewildered.
What happened?
Who am I?
Where am I?
However, after a brief moment of confusion, he quickly stopped caring.
Dead was dead.
From the System's description, the rabbit was apparently the future wife of some protagonist.
And anyone named Tang Si was definitely not a good person.
As for revenge?
Was he really supposed to fear Blue Silver Binding?
His attention was quickly drawn to the newly acquired Divine Ability.
Closing his eyes, he carefully examined the information contained within the Indestructible Golden Body.
A wave of ecstasy surged through him.
Indestructible Golden Body.
Completely immune to all damage upto a Major realm above him for three seconds.
Against Two Major Realm above opponents, the effectiveness depended on proficiency.
Since the System had directly upgraded it to Perfection, he could ignore attacks from enemies up to one major realms above him for three full seconds.
The spiritual energy consumption was negligible.
And it could be activated once every month.
This was simply a heaven-defying divine skill.
In the cultivation world, Sword Cultivators were the mainstream.
They specialized in explosive offensive power, pursuing the strongest possible burst damage in the shortest amount of time.
Some extreme Sword Cultivators even condensed all their spiritual power into a single strike, seeking absolute lethality.
The Sword Child of the Sword Sect was a perfect example.
With one sword strike, he had become the number one Nascent Soul cultivator of his generation.
His name shook the world.
And the Indestructible Golden Body was practically the natural nemesis of such cultivators.
Opening his eyes, Mo Yu walked toward Xiao Wu's corpse and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately...
She was still a rabbit.
If she had already transformed into a human, he honestly wouldn't know how to start eating her.
Looking at the rabbit, Mo Yu suddenly fell into deep thought.
The world was far too large.
There was no way he could find Tang Si.
If he simply left things as they were and Tang Si never found him, wouldn't that be a complete waste of a Child of Destiny?
Yet allowing Tang Si to come directly after him felt too passive.
After some consideration, a perfect scapegoat appeared in his mind.
Yuheng.
A Holy Son from the Starry Sky Holy Land.
The two of them had some old grudges.
Back when Mo Yu was still powerful, they had clashed several times.
Although their interactions ceased after Mo Yu's strength declined, Yuheng's unique needle-type hidden weapons had left quite an impression on him.
He still had a few of those needles.
Perfect.
It's decided.
You're taking the blame.
With a wave of his hand, several hidden needles were scattered around Xiao Wu's corpse.
The scene now looked exactly as though she had been killed by Yuheng's signature techniques.
After finishing his setup, Mo Yu clapped his hands in satisfaction.
Then he grabbed the rabbit by its long ears and carried it back to Chu Yuli.
Two Children of Destiny sharing the future wife of another Child of Destiny...
That sounded a little strange.
Chu Yuli stared at the rabbit in shock.
The pressure radiating from its corpse alone made her breathing become difficult.
Even her family's Ancestor had never given her such a terrifying feeling.
"Master... is this a Golden Core Demon Beast?"
Mo Yu nodded casually.
His hands were already skillfully preparing the rabbit.
Chu Yuli's eyes widened in disbelief.
A Golden Core Demon Beast could easily wipe out her entire family.
And now...
Such an existence was about to become dinner.
The situation felt surreal.
Like an absurd dream that somehow happened to be real.
Her gaze unconsciously drifted toward Mo Yu.
Master is really handsome...
He probably has many admirers, right?
Does he already have a Dao Companion?
Just how strong is Master?
When will I become stronger than him?
When will I finally be able to—
"Alright."
Mo Yu's voice interrupted her wandering thoughts.
"Let's eat."
Snapping back to reality, Chu Yuli looked over.
With the assistance of the Pure Yang True Fire, the Golden Core rabbit had already been perfectly roasted.
An irresistible aroma drifted through the forest, making her stomach growl once more.
