Chapter 489: Chapter 409: Reviving the Decaying Celestial Monarch via Sacrifice!

"To be able to fight a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator single-handedly to such an extent, Su Yuan, you’ve done very well."

The old woman smiled warmly as she handed the box to the still-stunned Su Yuan:

"However, this loose cultivator called Blood Soul True Monarch knows too much. Instead of letting him run amok all over the world, it’s more straightforward to just kill him."

"Uh... Senior Wuluo is right."

Su Yuan carefully took the box, feeling that this seemingly ordinary wooden box was exceedingly hot, almost too much to hold.

Was one of the three Nascent Soul cultivators needed to repair the Crown of Corruption obtained just like that?

Even in the Blue Star Federation, the residual power of a Nascent Soul cultivator is an extremely valuable industrial material.

Not to mention anything else, just the Nascent Soul of Blood Soul True Monarch alone.

If this Nascent Soul were to be used as a production device, the clean energy produced every day by its breathing would be no less than a large-scale nuclear power plant of the previous era.

Additionally, because of its small size, it could directly serve as a power source for a Star Destroyer and is also very easy to maintain.

My mother-in-law truly has a grand approach.

Su Yuan wanted to politely decline a few times, but worried that Wu Luo True Monarch might take her polite words seriously, he said nothing, obediently storing it in the Tribulation Moon Pearl.

"Senior Wuluo, why don’t you come inside for a while? Nuoyi should be quite bored now, and she’ll definitely be very happy to see you."

Su Yuan said enthusiastically.

The old woman raised her hand, gently touched her daughter’s head, and shook her head, saying:

"No need, this incarnation of mine won’t last long. Just send my regards to Nuoyi for me."

"Yes!"

Su Yuan quickly nodded.

After a pause, Wu Luo True Monarch raised her hand again and gently patted Su Yuan:

"Su Yuan, you’re all grown up now. I shouldn’t say much, but whenever I see you, as an elder, I can’t help but want to say a few things."

"My daughter, ever since she was young, has been a bit silly and has many bad habits."

"She’s lazy, has no goals, can’t endure hardship, is vain, always wants to give up when things get tough, and has had the habit of smelling her socks after taking them off since she was a child... She’s a child who won’t grow up, and she might still have this character ten years later."

"So, Su Yuan, you need to take care of her more, and don’t let her suffer just because she’s carefree."

Upon hearing Wu Luo True Monarch talk about herself like that, even exposing her childhood embarrassing incidents, the pink-haired girl blushed from her face to her ears, stomping her feet in agitation:

"Mom! How can you say such things in front of Su Yuan? I don’t have that many flaws!"

The old woman smiled and said no more, her figure disappearing quietly, leaving without a trace.

In the spot where she vanished, only the flustered Qi Hanyan and the still-dazed Su Yuan remained.

"Su Yuan, ignore it! You must ignore what my mom said, I think she’s just getting sentimental with age. Don’t pay attention to her!"

The pink-haired girl fretted, taking up the accordion.

Su Yuan snapped back to reality, turned to study the pink-haired girl carefully, and said with a smile:

"You’ve been standing outside all day, come inside and have something to eat."

"Do you want hot pot? I’ll make a special meal for you. I used to work at a hot pot restaurant, and I’m quite good at slicing meat."

Qi Hanyan blinked, then nodded vigorously, asking with a hint of expectation:

"Can you eat with me?"

"Sure."

Su Yuan smiled and nodded.

After all, most of the guests in the courtyard were from the Four Great Families and the Six Great Sects. Drinking with them was giving them face, and no one would dare say anything if he just left.

He called over Ying Ding to help entertain the guests, while he and Qi Hanyan went to a separate courtyard to have hot pot.

Time passed in a flash, and night fell.

After performing the wedding night ceremony for the guests, Su Yuan only sat in the festive bridal chamber for a few minutes before heading to his own bedroom.

In Dragon City County, he was the highest authority; no one dared to eavesdrop. Once he had entered the bridal chamber, there was no need to continue acting.

Moreover, with Motis, the maid accompanying the bride, watching from the side, there was no chance for anything amusing to happen.

After the grand wedding, Su Yuan’s time in office would soon be counted on fingers.

However, during this period, he did not focus on the county affairs, but instead quickly trained Ying Ding to take over.

He had a more important matter to attend to.

Within the gray Treasure Pearl that housed Blood Soul True Monarch’s soul, Su Yuan had, through investigation of the latter’s memory, discovered the location of the Secret Realm where the Decaying Celestial Monarch’s heritage was acquired.

According to Blood Soul True Monarch, that Secret Realm had suffered damage over tens of thousands of years, resulting in incomplete inheritance inside.

However, the Crown of Corruption seemed to have already been damaged when it was placed in the Secret Realm, ten thousand years ago.

Regardless, discovering the Secret Realm itself was very valuable to Su Yuan, as it likely contained remnants of Primordial Tribulation Qi.

The location of the Decaying Celestial Monarch’s heritage Secret Realm was not far from Su Yuan, conveniently situated in the depths beneath Blood Mist Island.

Being so close, it was natural for Su Yuan to seize the opportunity to explore it before his promotion.

Based on Blood Soul True Monarch’s memory, the heritage Secret Realm was not dangerous nor complicated, and it wouldn’t take long to explore completely.

"Xiaoying, I’ll be taking the lady out for a trip and will return in three to five days. Please take good care of the County Government Office."

Su Yuan, accompanied by Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyan, and Motis, stood by the port of Dragon City County, waving to the bidding farewell officials, including Ying Ding.

"Rest assured, County Magistrate, this official will diligently protect your land."

Ying Ding quickly nodded respectfully, the envy plain in his gaze as he looked at Su Yuan.

He said the county magistrate’s wife is not the only one.

It’s only been a few days since the grand wedding, and he took his wife and her two sisters out for a trip.

But it must be said, County Magistrate Su is quite the respectable person, going to the sea just to avoid rumors.

The gap between people is really big!

Su Yuan read many meanings from Ying Ding’s eyes, and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Victim of public opinion!

However, he didn’t bother to explain more, he turned around and boarded the Yaksha, setting sail for Blood Mist Island.

A day later.

Su Yuan and his party quietly disembarked on Blood Mist Island with Zhu Tianqing’s reception.

This place had already been completely brought under the control of the Primordial Sect, with Zhu Tianqing in charge of all the affairs here.

Meanwhile, on the system panel, the fate of the Primordial Sect had already risen from two thousand points all the way to five thousand points.

"Sect Leader, since you’re here, why not visit the branch that the Primordial Sect built on Blood Mist Island? It’s on the way after all."

Zhu Tianqing asked with a smile.

Su Yuan waved his hand:

"Let Nuoyi and the others go with you, it’s not on my way."

"Not on the way?"

Zhu Tianqing was taken aback.

Su Yuan smiled and said:

"Up north, down south, left west, right east, I need to head south, which means underground."

As he spoke, there was a tremor under Su Yuan’s feet, and then black mud resembling oil bubbled up from the ground, mixed with crimson tentacles.

He said to Chen Nuoyi:

"Remember to prepare the Holy Sect Blood Sacrifice Array. If I don’t come out within twelve hours, just summon me back directly."

Seeing the blue-haired girl nodding slightly, the tentacle under Su Yuan’s feet moved, wrapping around his leg and pulling him into the ground.

The ground restored its calm.

Watching the direction where Su Yuan disappeared, Chen Nuoyi shook her head helplessly. Su Yuan really was getting more and more mysterious lately.

Underground on Blood Mist Island, it had long been transformed into a sea of black mud by Corruption Spores, completely belonging to Su Yuan’s territory.

In the black mud, Su Yuan felt as if he had returned home, not feeling uncomfortable at all.

After diving nearly a thousand meters, he found an area not corroded by the black mud.

It was a gigantic coffin made of Blood Copper, about ten zhang long.

Just opening a corner of the coffin lid would lead into the Decaying Celestial Monarch’s inheritance secret realm.

"So, who would design a perfectly good secret realm entrance in the shape of a coffin? Does the Decaying Demon Monarch have a different aesthetic sense from ordinary people?"

"Or was this originally just a coffin and not an inheritance secret realm? But hasn’t the Decaying Old Deng not died yet?"

Su Yuan inwardly made a small complaint, stepped forward and gently pushed open a corner of the coffin lid, cautiously awaiting what was about to happen.

When the Blood Soul True Monarch entered the coffin back then, nothing changed, perhaps because the other party was too ignorant.

But Su Yuan was different; he mastered the complete Corruption Divine Kingdom, and upon contact with what was inside the coffin, different changes might occur.

Sure enough, the change, different from the Blood Soul True Monarch’s memory, happened in the next second.

Su Yuan suddenly felt a strong suction from inside the coffin, leaving him no time to react before being sucked in.

When Su Yuan’s sight and perception returned to normal again, he found himself in a small world filled with a sense of corruption.

A corner of this world’s sky had collapsed, and the ground’s originally extremely tenacious life-force blood tissue had withered, losing vitality countless millennia ago.

And in the center of this small world was a pyramid-like tomb constructed from white bones.

The white bones used to pile up the tomb were enormous and were polished into blocks with a diameter of over ten meters, so the entire tomb didn’t look horrifying but rather carried a sense of sanctity.

At this moment, the entrance of the tomb was wide open, revealing a deep and narrow passage, akin to a giant beast hiding in the dark, opening its mouth waiting to hunt.

Seeing this scene, Su Yuan’s heart skipped a beat again.

Coffin, tomb... This can’t be explained away as the unusual aesthetics of the Decaying Celestial Monarch; this creepy place truly is a burial ground.

As everyone knows, in the cultivation world, the tombs of powerful beings usually signify danger, a narrow escape from death.

The Blood Soul True Monarch was a fool back then, with nothing to lose, daring to rush inside and stumble around, but Su Yuan couldn’t be so reckless.

Perhaps... go back and prepare again?

Or circle around the tomb, ransack some Primordial Tribulation Qi and then leave?

Su Yuan could clearly feel that the Primordial Tribulation Qi in this small world was very dense, seemingly leaking in from the collapsed corner of the sky.

And just as Su Yuan hesitated, suddenly, a weak yet authoritative voice reached his ears:

"Child, I am the Decaying Celestial Monarch. I am urgently in need of the help of the Power of Corruption."

"As long as you enter the tomb and save me, once I am resurrected, I will help you become the new Human Race Divinity Transformation..."

Su Yuan: "..."

Really, were cultivators of the Ancient Era all this persuasive?

But sorry, I’m not Qi Hanyan, I don’t buy this.

Su Yuan pretended not to hear, directly sitting down to meditate, waiting for Chen Nuoyi to summon him after twelve hours.
