Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 553 - 472: Taixu Attacks Chu Group, Departure! (3K)

"I won’t say much more, if we delay any further, my shadow will come and seize this body again."

"There’s no time to lose, I will issue the Holy Word right now."

Gui Yuan, unaware of Su Yuan’s strange expression, spoke softly.

As she spoke, the aura surrounding the golden-haired girl suddenly expanded, as if some high-level power was surging into this body through a mysterious connection.

However, because this power was too immense, even though the golden-haired girl had a cultivation at the initial Nascent Soul Stage, her physical body couldn’t avoid collapsing.

Starting from her limbs, her body gradually transformed into golden particles of light.

With selfless divinity flowing from her eyes, she issued a decree to the Taixu World:

"I order the world, for all Divinity Transformation Cultivators’ projections within the Taixu World, to be marked and for everyone to obtain their real-time locations over the next month."

The moment the decree was issued, a three-dimensional map instantly appeared in the minds of Su Yuan, Zhu Qingqing, and every living being in the Taixu World.

On this map, as many as forty-nine blood-red light dots flickered in different locations.

When the corresponding individuals of the light dots moved, the dots’ positions would also change in real-time.

Gui Yuan’s action allowed everyone in the Taixu World to gain the ability to monitor the projections of these Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

"As many as forty-nine? Even including the three major Divinity Transformations and Gui Yuan, the number is still a bit outrageous... Are there that many Divinity Transformations in the entire Cultivation Realm?"

Su Yuan glanced roughly at the map’s scarlet dots, incredulously.

At this moment, most of Gui Yuan’s body had already disappeared, leaving only her head and part of her upper body.

She smiled as she explained in response to Su Yuan’s doubt:

"This isn’t something to be surprised about. Fake Chu Jiang, created as the Abyssal Shadow by the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, holds memories not just of our current era, but of ours as well."

"He remembers Divinity Transformation Cultivators from more ancient times, and many of them have already become vassals of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity."

"Moreover, most of these over forty Divinity Transformation Cultivator projections are just smoke and mirrors. There are fewer than ten with cultivation above the Nascent Soul."

"But to prevent some exceptionally gifted Divinity Transformation projections from breaking through to Nascent Soul like me within a month, it’s safest to eliminate them all."

Su Yuan nodded in realization.

"Then, I wish you success in uniting all the forces you can and achieving Nascent Soul."

In her final moment, Gui Yuan winked at Su Yuan.

"The Celestial Law World is still waiting for you to save it."

Su Yuan opened his mouth, intending to say something, but all that was left in front of him were the gradually fading points of light.

He had no choice but to close his mouth, gently sighing.

The real-world Gui Yuan was full of authority, but the young girl version from the Illusion Realm World was quite cute.

However, the latter had completely vanished.

There was a poignant feeling akin to parting with a newfound friend.

Gathering himself, Su Yuan looked towards Zhu Qingqing and said:

"You take the people of the Ten Great Demon Sects and capture the Divinity Transformation projections of the Reincarnation Nether Realm. Once found, eliminate them without hesitation!"

"I will now go meet the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch. If negotiations go well, I will ask him to dispatch his subordinates to cooperate with your operation."

Zhu Qingqing nodded in agreement.

Su Yuan turned to leave but seemed to think of something and turned back to remind her.

"By the way, anyone who can reach Divinity Transformation is a protagonist in their own right, so don’t underestimate them even as projections."

"No matter their cultivation level, exert your full effort, ideally challenging them at a lower level, like ten Nascent Souls besieging one Qi Cultivation, to be safe."

"As for those who have already reached the Nascent Soul Stage among the Divinity Transformation projections, just monitor them from afar because engaging them directly would be a death sentence."

"For them, I will personally request a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch to act."

Zhu Qingqing nodded vigorously, displaying none of that mindless arrogance typical of villains.

Having deeply experienced the combat power of the Divinity Transformation Cultivator projections through Gui Yuan, she had resolved to hide in the background regardless of her target’s perceived weakness.

Assured, Su Yuan left, boarding the flying ship awaiting him and arrived at the Reincarnation Hall.

At the entrance of the Reincarnation Hall, Su Yuan walked in alone and met the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch, who appeared like a seven- or eight-year-old boy, with dark patterns engraved on his bald head.

This cunning little lord had evidently been made aware of the events in the exchange match and looked at Su Yuan with interest.

"Su Yuan, you certainly have a knack for making things happen. You said you were gonna cozy up to Divinity Transformation and you sure did, twice in a row no less."

Saying that, the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch feigned a frightened expression.

"Good thing I don’t have a daughter, or I’d be in trouble too."

Su Yuan could hear the sarcasm in the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch’s tone.

This was understandable; being the Saint Heir of the Reincarnation Nether Realm himself, he had turned around and allied with two of the top enemies of his own boss. Anyone would feel uneasy about that.

However, Su Yuan didn’t perform any apologies or pledges of loyalty, instead, he straightforwardly said:

"Senior Reincarnation, there’s something wrong with this world; if left unattended, it will be destroyed in less than a year."

"Though it may sound a bit self-aggrandizing, as it stands, I’m the only candidate to save it. But I can’t do it alone; I need your help."

The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch was slightly taken aback, carefully examining Su Yuan’s half-dragon, half-human body, as well as the unmistakable aura fluctuations of the All Heaven Star Battle Array Plate.

"You... have already gained the recognition of Qi Anong and that old Dragon Venerable?"

Su Yuan nodded.

Reincarnation Celestial Monarch: "What is the specific reason for the destruction of this world?"

Su Yuan: "I can’t say until you agree to cooperate with us."

Reincarnation Celestial Monarch: "Then if you succeed in saving the world, will it stabilize again?"

Su Yuan: "...No, the world will be destroyed six months earlier."

Reincarnation Celestial Monarch: "..."

Seeing the little boy in front of him reveal a speechless and disdainful brat’s expression, Su Yuan felt a bit embarrassed too.

While other Saviors bring a peaceful world, he, as a Savior, will personally destroy everything in the Taixu World except for the residents of Ten Immortals City.

For the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch, such a pure illusion, this was obviously not easy to accept.

But there was no choice; the truth was laid bare, and he couldn’t lie.

"Reincarnation Senior, listen to my explanation..."

Su Yuan racked his brains, trying hard to give a reasonable explanation without angering the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch or revealing core information.

But just as he began to speak, the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch forcefully waved his hand.

"You don’t have to say anymore."

The little boy jumped down from the high-backed chair big enough to be his bed, pacing barefoot on the cold ground, his expression uncertain.

After several laps around the great hall, he snorted coldly and said:

"Since that old Purple Gold Dragon Venerable trusts you so much, I have nothing more to say. Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

Su Yuan: "???"

Seriously? He’s agreed already?

Then what was the point of all the arguments I had prepared for so long?

"Reincarnation Senior, if the world is destroyed, you won’t survive either. Are you really not going to reconsider?"

Su Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch said calmly:

"There’s nothing to reconsider. People will definitely die. No one can live forever. If that Old Man Long thinks our generation needs to die, it only means the situation has reached the point where we inevitably must perish."

"...You are truly broad-minded."

Su Yuan paused in silence for a long time before slowly speaking.

Since the other party had already agreed to cooperate, Su Yuan had nothing left to hide. He explained the Illusion Realm World, the situation of himself and the citizens of Ten Immortals City, and what he needed in detail.

The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch listened silently, sighing softly:

"Illusions, huh? No wonder there are certain disharmonious elements about me; it turns out I forgot that formidable enemy, the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity."

He turned his gaze to Su Yuan, asking softly:

"Su Yuan, in the real world, am I dead?"

Su Yuan nodded heavily:

"Yes, just recently. The main body of Senior Dragon Venerable also killed the Abyssal Shadow that devoured you."

Reincarnation Celestial Monarch: "Hmph, that Old Man Long is really useless. It took him so many years to deal with my shadow’s misdoings. But... after more than a hundred thousand years, I still have to rely on him to clean up the mess. It’s truly embarrassing."

After sighing, the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch walked up to Su Yuan, jumped up to lightly touch Su Yuan’s knee, and mumbled:

"I’m not as tall as you, I lost."

[Congratulations to the host for convincing the world BOSS ’Reincarnation Nether Lord’ to admit defeat. Conquer the world BOSS*1!]

"As for the authority I possess, first and foremost is naturally the Reincarnation Technique."

The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch stroked his chin and said:

"I’ll allocate a portion of my Reincarnation Origin to you. As long as this portion remains unexhausted, even if you die, you can resurrect."

"And I will completely sever my connection with this portion of the origin. Even if I try to take it back personally, I won’t be able to."

Saying this, the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch touched his forehead, pinched lightly, and directly extracted a jet-black pattern from the skin of his forehead, then jumped up and slapped it onto Su Yuan’s arm.

In an instant, on Su Yuan’s arm, already covered with Dragon Scales, a pattern with the meaning of death and rebirth began to grow, quickly covering his entire arm and half of his chest.

From the black tattoo, Su Yuan could feel an ice-cold sensation as if from the Yellow Springs, yet at the same time, there was a vibrant sense of cyclical rebirth.

Su Yuan lifted his head, looking at the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch with a noticeably missing tattoo on his forehead, and solemnly said:

"Thank you, Senior."

The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch, with the demeanor of a little adult, clasped his hands behind his back, chuckling lightly:

"Stop dawdling. Take me to see Old Man Long. I’m almost dead already; there’s no point in quarreling with him any longer."
