Chapter 1464: No Reason for Anomaly
Yun Che's simultaneous cultivation of Light and Dark Profound Forces had already astonished Jie Yuan.
But the casual movement he made just now released both Light Profound Force and Dark Profound Force at the same time!
Not only did he cultivate them both, he could release them simultaneously!?
Jie Yuan's eyeballs twitched violently in that instant… Unfortunately, Yun Che himself was lost in confusion and didn't notice.
He had never before thought anything was wrong with having both Light and Dark Profound Forces in his body. Mu Xuanyin, who knew of this fact, similarly found nothing amiss.
After all, the Elemental Creation God's profound veins should naturally possess the most extreme and comprehensive elemental control abilities.
But this tore apart the understanding of an ancient Demon Emperor! It shocked and appalled an ancient Demon Emperor.
Seeing Yun Che wielding both Light and Dark with such casual ease, Jie Yuan's heart churned like raging waves, utterly astounded.
As the Jie Tian Mo Di, the way she looked at Yun Che at this moment… was as if she were looking at an incomprehensible monster!
What the hell was going on?
Could it be that after his power was inherited by a mortal, some kind of mutation occurred?
No! No matter how much it mutated, it could never break the most basic laws. Light and Dark are opposite and cannot coexist. This is the most fundamental law of creation—absolutely impossible… and never broken before.
How could he…
Wait… Break the law of creation!?
In just a few short moments, Jie Yuan's expression changed dozens of times. Even in the ancient era, she had rarely been so startled.
The more shocked Jie Yuan became, the more bewildered Yun Che grew… Her reaction didn't seem fake, and as the Jie Tian Mo Di, she would never deliberately make such a reaction to toy with him.
Reflecting on how he had obtained his Dark and Light Profound Forces… The former came from You Er giving him a Dark Seed, and he could control it perfectly afterward. The latter came after he slept with Shen Xi, and then with a bit of practice, he became proficient.
There was absolutely no rejection or mutual restraint in him!
The Evil God was somewhat afraid of Light Profound Force… but when he carried Dark Profound Force, he felt no discomfort or fear in the presence of Shen Xi's Light Profound Force.
"Who are your parents?"
Jie Yuan suddenly asked in a deep voice.
Yun Che quickly replied, "Junior's parents are ordinary humans…"
"Enough said." Without waiting for Yun Che to explain, Jie Yuan reached out and grabbed him. "The 'thing' on you is definitely not normal! I must see it for myself!"
Since Jie Yuan said so, Yun Che had no chance to refuse and could only nod. "Alright."
Soon, he brought Jie Yuan to the Yao Huang City in the Huan Yao Realm.
At the Yun Clan, Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou had just finished their busy work and were sitting at the same stone table, leisurely sipping tea. The state of the Huan Yao Realm and the Yun Clan was vastly different from the past, with few worries left, and their complexions naturally improved day by day.
Jie Yuan silently observed the two, then swept her spiritual sense over every member of the Yun Clan. Afterward, she followed Yun Che to the Mu Clan, led by his maternal grandfather…
But she found nothing unusual.
In Jie Yuan's eyes, his father, mother, clansmen, grandfather, and uncles were all mundane mortals with no peculiarities. Though their strength stood at the apex of this planet, from Jie Yuan's perspective, they were all ordinary and insignificant mortals.
Disappointed, Jie Yuan became even more puzzled. "Did you grow up in this city?"
"No." Yun Che shook his head and briefly explained his circumstances after birth. "Although I am the son of the Yun Clan, I was born and raised on the Tian Xuan Continent. I only returned to my ancestral clan after I turned twenty."
Jie Yuan's gaze sharpened… Could it be acquired later?
She suddenly asked, "Take me to the place where you grew up!"
Clearly, Jie Yuan placed extraordinary importance on this matter. Yun Che then brought her to the location of Liu Yun City… Since Jie Yuan reacted so strongly, he too wanted to know what abnormality he had.
Arriving at Liu Yun City, Jie Yuan's brow furrowed. The level of energy here was extremely thin and low—it would be hard to find a lower place even on this small planet.
A sweep of her spiritual sense confirmed it without surprise: the people here had pitifully low Xuan cultivation, and the Xuan Beasts were all low-level.
"You grew up here?" Jie Yuan was even more disappointed.
"Yes." Yun Che nodded. "This place is called Liu Yun City. I grew up here until I was sixteen and never left before then. In recent years, I often return here."
"…" Jie Yuan frowned and swept her spiritual sense repeatedly. Suddenly she asked, "Who has been closest to you the longest?"
The answer was undoubtedly Xiao Lingxi. They grew up together under Xiao Lie's care, never separated for a single day until Yun Che turned sixteen. Especially before the age of ten, they even slept in the same bed, never apart day or night.
Jie Yuan's overly serious demeanor made Yun Che hesitate briefly, but he finally answered truthfully, "It's Lingxi. She used to be my little aunt. She is one year younger than me and has been my companion since childhood."
Following Yun Che's guidance, Jie Yuan locked onto Xiao Lingxi's figure. Soon, disappointment showed on her face again.
This was an exceptionally fresh and serene woman. Although she had a Xuan Force aura at the threshold of the Divine Way, Jie Yuan could tell at a glance that her cultivation was forced by external means, with an extremely unstable foundation. Moreover, she didn't care at all, showing almost no signs of consolidation. She clearly had little interest or pursuit in the Xuan Way.
A perfectly ordinary human woman.
"Forget it." Jie Yuan finally gave up, muttering to herself, "Perhaps over the years of Chaos's evolution, some laws have also changed."
"…" Even Yun Che didn't believe that, let alone Jie Yuan. After the destruction of the Divine and Demon clans, the energy and laws of Chaos had been "degenerating" to lower levels. How could a change in law occur that even a Demon Emperor couldn't understand?
Jie Yuan turned and disappeared before Yun Che's eyes, leaving only her demonic voice drifting in his ears: "I will take care of the beast riots, human conflicts, and order collapse on this planet. You don't need to worry about it anymore."
"Master," He Ling's voice came from his heart, "The Jie Tian Mo Di acted very strangely. It seems she was… really frightened by Master?"
"Probably… she finds me even stranger." Yun Che scratched the tip of his nose, planting a deep unease in his heart.
Without thinking further, he looked down at Xiao Lingxi, grinned, and descended from the sky. Amid her surprised cry, he pounced on her directly, pulling her into a tight embrace and rolling into the flower beds…
…
The news of the Demon Emperor's return had not spread widely, and no one dared to spread it recklessly. But those who needed to know had secretly learned of it. Those who didn't need to know vaguely felt that the atmosphere in the God Realm had subtly changed.
Especially in the various Realm King sects of the star realms, disciples noticed that the three words "Yin Xue Realm" were being mentioned with unprecedented frequency.
Strangest of all were the people of Yin Xue Realm itself. Starting half a month ago, every day, a large number of profound ships arrived in Yin Xue Realm. The names of these ships were all renowned—they were from upper star realm Realm King sects.
In the past, such profound ships from that level would not be seen once in hundreds or thousands of years. But these days, they appeared in droves. And the figures who stepped off these ships were, one after another, upper Realm Kings who could make the entire Yin Xue Realm kneel in welcome. Yet after arriving, they became more and more gentle and polite, even somewhat deferential, and all carried heavy gifts that seemed to fill the entire ship.
It was as if they were visiting a supreme King Realm!
Time and again, wave after wave… Everyone in Yin Xue Realm, especially the Bing Huang God Sect, was already numb with shock, yet no one knew what was actually happening.
Ice Phoenix Holy Hall.
"Tomorrow, thirty-seven upper star realms will come to visit. Also, the number of visiting cards received today is extremely high—over a thousand."
Mu Bingyun reported calmly to Mu Xuanyin.
"Why so many?" Mu Xuanyin frowned slightly.
Mu Bingyun said, "The visiting cards before yesterday were all from upper star realms. But those received today are mostly from middle star realms. The other middle star realms should have no way of knowing about the Demon Emperor's arrival. I think the successive visits from upper Realm Kings over these days have aroused suspicion among the middle star realms, hence this situation."
Mu Xuanyin's icy brows tightened. "For the upper star realms, you and Huanzhi will continue to receive them. Remember not to lose decorum. Accept ordinary gifts and reciprocate with equivalent value, but reject all heavy gifts! If asked about Yun Che, tell them that he is accompanying the Jie Tian Mo Di on a tour of Chaos, with no return date set."
"As for the middle star realms, let Tanzhi receive them. Instruct him not to reveal anything that shouldn't be revealed."
"I understand." Mu Bingyun thought for a moment and added, "So far, over a hundred upper Realm Kings have emphatically mentioned marriage alliances. Sister might consider it more carefully. Those Realm Kings' daughters are long-renowned for their birth and appearance—flawless—and they have clearly stated they are willing to be concubines. This would have many benefits for Yun Che's future."
"Reject them all. Do not mention it again!" Mu Xuanyin cut off decisively, her voice turning several degrees colder.
"Very well, everything will follow sister's wishes." Mu Bingyun responded softly. Thinking of the changes in Yin Xue Realm over these days, she sighed, "Yin Xue Realm was originally a place of pure cold and tranquility. Never in any era has it been so lively. Even if a new King Realm were established, it might not cause such a stir."
"Hmph! Even if another King Realm did emerge, it would only inspire their awe. But the Jie Tian Mo Di can decide life and death with a single word or action. And only Yun Che can give them a life-saving talisman. To earn Yun Che's goodwill, they naturally start with our Yin Xue Realm." Mu Xuanyin's tone was indifferent, showing no particular excitement or arrogance at being courted and sought after by countless upper star realms overnight. "Their actions are perfectly normal."
Mu Xuanyin was right. The terror inspired by the Jie Tian Mo Di was incomparable—not just to one King Realm, but even to a hundred or a thousand.
Over the past half month, the many upper star realms that knew the truth had been scrambling to curry favor with Yin Xue Realm, far surpassing any reverence for a King Realm.
And they themselves never imagined they would have such a day as upper Realm Kings.
"Sister, do you think… the returning Jie Tian Mo Di will truly become the master of Chaos and not bring disaster to the world?" Mu Bingyun asked.
This was the concern and worry of all who knew the truth.
Mu Xuanyin closed her eyes and said softly, "I think not. The Jie Tian Mo Di I saw possesses unimaginable power, but her temperament is far less terrifying than anticipated."
"At her level, even without the grudges of those years, she wouldn't care about the life and death of all beings. But that day, even when she killed the Three Fan Gods with a flick of her finger, she clearly held back. Otherwise, the residual force alone would have killed everyone present. And afterward, just because of a few words from Yun Che, she forgave everyone."
"Half a month has passed, and she has not appeared again. In the God Realm and the lower realms, there are no signs of any catastrophe caused by her. I think this 'disaster' should not erupt again."
"But one thing is different: there is now a true master of Chaos in this world! From now on, all beings will have to follow the rules she sets."
Mu Bingyun interjected, "Then Yun Che, who inherited the Evil God's power, will gain the favor of the new Chaos Lord and can do whatever he pleases from now on." She smiled slightly. "That's not bad."
After saying this, Mu Bingyun expected that with Mu Xuanyin's personality, she would disdain Yun Che's reliance on others to throw his weight around. But Mu Xuanyin said softly, "That's good too. At least no one will dare to covet and bully him anymore. Even if he becomes arrogant and domineering, acting at will, it's still better than before…"
Mu Bingyun: "…"
