Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Facing the huge wheel that was the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Wu Qi asked Ao Buzun and Catfish kept a close watch on the surroundings, then in front of Xiang Yu he transformed into his Buddha’s avatar, using the divine ability of the Buddhism League to carefully send the souls of Yuji, Yue Tan, and Yuyao into the transmigration.
As he had to be specific of the directions, the families, and genders the three girls were to be reincarnated, Wu Qi had to wrap them up with his own divine sense, using the magic of the Buddhism League to search the right information in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. When his divine sense penetrated into the wheel, he immediately sensed the terrible repulsive force of the Heavenly Dao. A massive pressure came rushing over from the void, and even with his current cultivation base, he felt a dreadful feeling as if he was about to be wiped out at any time.
Endless information poured over like a torrent. Wu Qi’s divine sense and magic power were draining rapidly. In just a quarter of an hour, both his divine sense and magic power had reduced to a very low level. The huge consumption almost knocked him out. But then he had found the right directions where the three girls were to be reincarnated. Carefully, he sent their souls into the families he had chosen.
As soon as he sent their souls into the transmigration, cold sweat broke out all over him. He could no longer maintain his Buddha’s avatar, and he fell headlong down toward the ocean of yellow spring, nearly plunged straight into the filthy water. Luckily, Xiang Yu quickly scooped him up and helped him stands on a blood-red cloud.
Xiang Yu did not care how Wu Qi managed to transform into the Buddha’s avatar, but he just asked in a deep voice, “Is everything alright?”
With a mysterious smile on his face, Wu Qi nodded and said, “You can count on me! Three years from now, you can go to the Mei Clan, who is the richest landlord in Tao Jiang County of Ying Chuan Province, and find Yuji there. Oh, just to let you know, Tao Jiang County is the most famous place in Great Yu that produces beautiful girls. Also, the current head of Mei Clan is Tao Jiang County’s most famous handsome man, and his wife was named Tao Jiang County’s most beautiful girl eighteen years ago, so...”
Xiang Yu rolled his eyes, ignoring Wu Qi’s teasing. Then, he cupped his fist and bowed at Wu Qi, and said respectfully, “Master!”
Wu Qi was struck dumb. He suddenly felt a little sorry for what he had done. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to be honest with Xiang Yu. “But, as the Six Paths of Reincarnation has consumed an incredible amount of my divine sense and magic power, I don’t have enough power to find a good family for Yue Tan... therefore, in her next life, she and Yuji will be... ugh, they will be twin sisters... and, when I escort their souls into the transmigration, I’ve planted a restrictive spell on them. You have to kiss Yue Tan, only then can Yuji remember her memories of this life.”
Wu Qi touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
Xiang Yu looked up at Wu Qi in astonishment. After a while, he put a trembling hand on the hilt of his sword, then suddenly drew the sword and swung it down toward Wu Qi. Laughing, Wu Qi used the little bit of energy he had recovered to rip open the void and stepped back into Pangu Continent. Xiang Yu was so mad that his eyes turned green. Screaming, he chased after Wu Qi.
Ao Buzun rushed cheerfully to Xiang Yu and put his arms around him, keeping him still. “You are really an ungrateful brat!” cried Ao Buzun excitedly. “They are sisters! You are going to have a pair of twin sisters as your wives! Putting aside your own woman, that Yue Tan is somebody else’s woman! Don’t you think this is fantastic and thrilling?”
Xiang Yu flew into a rage and struck blow after blow at Ao Buzun with his sword. But Ao Buzun’s skin was too thick, so the sword could only make bright sparks flying all over the place but not hurting him at all. With his arms around Xiang Yu’s shoulder, Ao Buzun laughed and began to tell his glorious story of how he had conquered all those beautiful girls with his spear alone.
Upon his return to An He City, Wu Qi transferred Lu Chengfeng over and charged him full responsibility for drawing up the new treaty between the six states and Dong Hai Province. He needed the six states to work for him, but he had no intention of making them his slaves. In Wu Qi’s mind, he was more than happy to develop the six states into a super alliance with mighty power, and he would be its permanent leader.
So he asked Lu Chengfeng to negotiate the new treaty on his behalf. If he asked Princess Zhang Le to do it, it would give the impression that Great Yan was taking advantage for itself, and if he were to talk to the representatives of the six states himself, he felt like he was a bully with his current overall strength. Therefore, it would be most fitting to let Lu Chengfeng take his place.
After leaving Ao Buzun, Catfish, and others who had broke through the realm of Primordial in Dong Hai Province to assist Princess Zhang Le, Wu Qi left Pangu Continent with Xiang Yu, Huhai, Gold Horn, Silver Horn, and a group of subordinates who were only one step away from the realm of Primordial, and entered the vast space with the fastest speed.
After breaking through the realm of Primordial, the greatest advantage was that the speed of flight had been greatly improved. Usually, it took at least a few years and sometimes even decades to travel from an outer heavenly realm to Pangu Continent, if using long-distance teleportation formation. But now it would take Wu Qi only the space of a few breaths to travel from Pangu Continent to the nearest outer heavenly realm.
With Xiang Yu, Huhai, Gold Horn and others stayed in his sleeve, Wu Qi transformed into a stream of almost traceless dark light and sped through space. As time went by, he traveled from the most populous heavenly realm to the remotest, from where he flew for several more months until he came to a wall of chaotic energy that stretched as far as his eyes could see.
This was the edge of Pangu World.
The size of this world was limited. Although Pangu Continent had been absorbing chaotic energy from the Primal Chaos for countless eons, expanding itself rapidly all the time while pushing outer heavenly realms further away, this world still had an edge.
On its edge laid this immense wall of chaotic energy. Beyond it was the world of chaos, the home to dreadful chaotic storms, innumerable natural hazards and all kinds of strong, ferocious chaotic creatures. Although in the world of chaos there were countless rare and precious materials, anyone who dared to enter it, save Primordial experts, was no different from courting death.
Every once in a while, Great Yu would send a group of Supreme Oracles into the Chaotic World to collect all kinds of precious materials. For example, the material needed to craft the Supreme Tower that could manipulate time, like the one Wu Qi had found, were extremely scarce on Pangu Continent, but they could be found in small veins in the Chaotic World. However, Great Yu always lost some Supreme Oracles in every campaign, and on several occasions the collection teams were completely annihilated without even sending back a piece of information. This showed how dangerous the Chaotic World was.
Traces of spirit light sparked from Wu Qi’s eyes as they gradually turned deep, pure black, spinning like two black holes. He glanced toward the wall of chaotic energy, and silently a small gap split open at where his gaze rested.
With a flash of his figure, Wu Qi stepped into the Chaotic World. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a torrent of purple-black flame. The frighteningly hot flame struck him and burned off all his hair and clothes. Wu Qi grunted; his skin was scorched and filled with tiny blisters, his muscles trembled with pain, and he almost shrieked.
He knew this flame. It was the ‘Nirvana Flame’, which was more powerful than many divine flames such as the Divine Flame of Order and Divine Flame of Great Tranquility, a flame that was born to burn down everything! Nirvana Flame had no other attribute. It did not do much harm to incorporeal existences such as divine sense and souls, but it was destructive to all corporeal existences, such as the dharma bodies of immortals, the golden bodies of Buddhas, and innate spirit beings.
The torrent of Nirvana Flame that Wu Qi had bumped into was rather thin and not very powerful. Even so, it burned him so badly that the skin and flesh on his handsome face were all scorched and burst, so much so that he could scare someone in the middle of the night without putting on any makeup.
He produced the Natural Phenomena Medallion in panic, which sprayed out a cloud of smoke and wrapped him around. Then, he took a deep breath and rushed out of this 10,000-mile-wide torrent of Nirvana Flame into the depths of chaos. As he left, he carefully harvested a wisp of flame and stored it in his body, slowly refining it with Myriad Harmonization Grand Magic.
Wu Qi spent the next three months or so traveling through the Chaotic World. During his journey, he was struck and badly battered by bolts of heavenly lightning, his skin and flesh were torn to shreds by a sudden torrent of dark ice, and he was even chased by a colony of Dark-tailed Spirit Bess born in chaos for three days and three nights. After going through hundreds of dangerous situations that nearly killed him, relied on his uncanny divine abilities and extraordinary treasures, he finally found a large stone suspended motionlessly in chaos.
The stone, all black and blue, was roughly in the shape of a disc. Wu Qi stepped on it with a little excitement and gently waved his right hand. Dozens of fine silver thread intertwined into several mysterious runes, which then fell into the stone. A blinding light burst out of it, and in the blink of an eye Wu Qi was teleported away.
It was one of the 4.8 billion Void Teleportation Stones Lord Yuan Ling had placed in the Chaotic World. Relied on them, he was able to traverse the chaos and scavenge countless natural treasures, and eventually brought himself the reputation of the best in artifact refinement and alchemy among all the Chaos Fiend Gods. It was also through the continuous refining of rare materials over the years that he managed to create the powerful Heaven Refining Grand Magic.
Light and shadow flickered and shifted in Wu Qi’s eyes. Suddenly, a rich, clean, and pure Yuan Ling energy came caressing his face. He opened all the pores across his body and greedily absorbed this energy, which was originated from the Primal Chaos and on the same level as chaotic energy.
In front of him was a planet smaller than the Earth. All the mountains, rivers, and vegetation on this exquisite, perfect planet had been carefully arranged. A small sun was revolving around it. Sufficient sunlight and rich natural energy had filled the planet with endless life force.
This was Yuan Ling Dark Realm, the sanctuary where Lord Yuan Ling, Wu Qi’s previous incarnation, cultivated in seclusion. Laid deep in the Chaotic World, it was also Lord Yuan Ling’s birthplace, therefore he had hidden it with all kinds of natural hazards. Even those Chaos Fiend Gods did not know where it was located.
After taking a few deep breaths, Wu Qi performed an incantation gesture to bypass the dense traps surrounding Yuan Ling Dark Realm, and then quietly landed in front of the cave he used to meditate in, the ‘Yuan Cave’.
The trees near Yuan Cave began to sway, though there was no wind. Many leaves fell slowly and fused gently into Wu Qi’s body. Each leaf contained as much energy as a supreme-grade Primordial pill, and they were strengthening his fleshly body and foundation from the roots.
Wu Qi sighed, clasped his hands behind his back and nodded. “I’m back. What was I thinking back then? Why didn’t I keep some animals here? Otherwise, after all these years, I would have hundreds more Primordial experts under me now! Alas, with my strange temper in those days, how did I manage to survive alone? Even if you don’t want to keep a group of bodyguards, you could also keep a few wives, and if you did, I’ll have a few mighty backers now!”
After spending a while complaining about his previous incarnation, Wu Qi waved his hand. Xiang Yu, Huhai, and others all rolled awkwardly out of his sleeve.
