Chapter 578: The Shocked Realm Lord Chui Bei
Qi Yuan glanced at these Yin Gods.
They stayed quietly in their own cave dwellings, unaware of Qi Yuan's presence.
Many of them were anxious, knowing that they would be selected to serve powerful beings.
These beings were either immigrants from various universes brought to the Primordial Council by Realm Lords or their descendants.
In Myriad Transformations Mountain, they were servants, but in other realms, they were celestial gods.
As celestial gods, they were majestic and enjoyed endless wealth.
But... for many cultivators, staying in Myriad Transformations Mountain to serve Realm Lords was the real opportunity.
Mortal realms had thin spiritual energy and lacked opportunities, making it difficult to improve cultivation. Moreover, there was always the inevitability of aging, decline, and death.
Myriad Transformations Mountain, on the other hand, was rich in spiritual energy. Serving Realm Lords here meant there was always a chance to obtain various resources.
If one became a Realm Lord's confidant, immense wealth and power would follow."These ones."
Qi Yuan casually waved his hand and randomly selected ten thousand Yin Gods.
Among them were even first-layer Yang Gods.
Of course, first-layer Yang Gods would naturally be assigned managerial roles.
After a few moments, fifteen Yang Gods stood before Qi Yuan. Despite their cultivation levels, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
The leader was a man with three legs, known as the Ten Thousand Legs Ancestor in the mortal realm. In Myriad Transformations Mountain, he called himself Zhao Three Legs.
"Greetings, Realm Lord!"
Without hesitation or any sense of shame, Zhao Three Legs immediately knelt.
The other fourteen Yang Gods exchanged glances.
They had only bowed, not knelt like Zhao Three Legs.
Now, they were conflicted.
If Zhao Three Legs knelt and they didn't, would it anger the Realm Lord?
After all, these Realm Lords were ancient monsters who had lived through countless cosmic epochs.
Even if the universe were destroyed, they themselves would remain unharmed.
The personalities of such ancient monsters could only be described as "eccentric."
At that moment, Qi Yuan's voice rang out.
"As the saying goes, all people are equal. If you kneel to me now, wouldn't I have to kneel to you in return?" Qi Yuan said to Zhao Three Legs.
Zhao Three Legs immediately broke into a cold sweat, his face filled with terror: "Realm Lord, this lowly one deserves death!"
He thought that perhaps this Realm Lord disliked his sycophantic behavior.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm petty?" Qi Yuan was speechless. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm a magnanimous person who never kills indiscriminately. When I see ants on the road, I can't bear to step on them."
Qi Yuan believed in repaying kindness and settling grudges.
He was always broad-minded and didn't dwell on minor issues.
Back in the Divine Flower Society, he had once tracked people down through their connections to deal with them.
But that was out of necessity, and besides... didn't those people have even a tiny bit of fault?
Zhao Three Legs trembled in fear.
The other Yang Gods stood to the side, not daring to breathe loudly.
"Alright, enough of this nonsense. During this time, help me collect some cultivation techniques. Any techniques will do, the more the better."
Qi Yuan instructed.
"As you command," the Yang Gods quickly agreed, not daring to ask further questions.
Without further small talk, Qi Yuan returned to his cave dwelling in Myriad Transformations Mountain.
The cave dwelling was a perfect blend of opulence and ethereal spiritual energy.
"If only I could have cultivated here during my Qi Refining stage."
"Sigh, if only I could create a technique that allows me to borrow resources and strength from my future self."
"Then I wouldn't have been so nervous when I went to destroy the Black Mountain Sect."
Qi Yuan murmured.
The deduction of the "Qi Yuan Scripture" had always relied on techniques from the Immortal Realm.
Now, Qi Yuan also wanted to explore techniques from other universes for reference and inspiration.
Perhaps this would greatly aid him in perfecting the Yang God stage of the "Qi Yuan Scripture."
"Is this the 'Scripture of All Things' Growth'?"
Qi Yuan looked at the scripture, feeling that it was even more profound and obscure than the "Devouring True Scripture."
"This kind of technique, if placed in the Primordial Council, would surely incite fierce battles among powerful beings.
In the Myriad Transformations Society, I can read it almost without any cost."
Scriptures written by Dao Lords were of immense value to Creation Realm Realm Lords.
Generally, there was only one Dao Lord per system.
The path of the Creation Realm Realm Lord had reached its end.
Improvements in strength mostly depended on the number of Dao Lord scriptures they had mastered and understood.
The more they mastered, the stronger their combat power, and the greater their chances of creating their own Great Dao and becoming a Dao Lord.
"Learning this technique is useless to me, but I can absorb it and integrate it into my 'Qi Yuan Scripture.'"
Qi Yuan read carefully.
Hidden information about the "Scripture of All Things' Growth" flowed into his vision.
[This is a technique created by the Dao Lord of Life, with 37,027 areas that can be improved. After improvement...]
"Indeed, the stronger one becomes, the broader their vision.
If I were still at the Qi Refining stage, I wouldn't be able to see any of this."
Qi Yuan murmured, beginning to improve the "Scripture of All Things' Growth," as it was worth 10 major merits.
He also wanted to visit the various places of opportunity.
...
Myriad Transformations Society.
Realm Lord Chui Bei stroked his beard: "This guy, he said he doesn't like to talk, yet he can chatter with low-level Yang Gods for so long."
Generally, Realm Lords like them rarely interacted with those servants.
Those they could communicate with as equals were usually cultivators of similar cultivation levels.
The female Realm Lord, Chun Ran, smiled: "It's normal for powerful beings to have eccentric personalities.
Even the Society Leader is like that, often acting crazy, asking everywhere if anyone has seen his lost underwear."
Hearing the mention of the Society Leader, Realm Lord Chui Bei's eyes showed reverence.
"I wonder when I'll be able to obtain a purple jade token."
Realm Lord Chui Bei was very strong, not weak even among Creation Realm Realm Lords.
He had even mastered three Dao Lord scriptures.
However, in the Myriad Transformations Society, those with purple jade tokens either mastered ten or more Dao Lord scriptures or had made significant contributions to the society.
Both of these were beyond Realm Lord Chui Bei's reach.
"If we succeed in Spirit Summoning, everyone in our research team could obtain purple jade tokens," Realm Lord Chun Ran said.
Realm Lord Chui Bei smiled; that was almost impossible.
"How many Dao Lord scriptures do you think Qi Yuan has mastered?" Realm Lord Chun Ran asked curiously.
Qi Yuan's display earlier had shocked her.
Realm Lord Chui Bei shook his head: "He's very mysterious. His combat power is probably not inferior to mine."
Among those with golden jade tokens, Realm Lord Chui Bei was considered a top figure, ranking in the top five in terms of combat power.
"That strong? If he consumes all the opportunities in the Primordial Council, wouldn't he be even stronger than you? He might have a chance at a purple token," Realm Lord Chun Ran muttered.
"It's just a matter of time. To obtain a purple jade token, he'll probably need a few more epochs.
Just improving the 'Scripture of All Things' Growth' will likely take a lot of time," Realm Lord Chui Bei said.
Over the years, he had seen too many true prodigies.
Like the current Society Leader of the Myriad Transformations Society, who had risen from the "Spirit Summoning" research topic.
At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in the minds of Realm Lord Chui Bei and Chun Ran.
"Hey, long time no see. Have you had dinner?"
Qi Yuan walked over, looking quite tired.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yuan regretted it.
Because it was clear that these two didn't eat dinner.
If they answered that they hadn't eaten, his high emotional intelligence would compel him to invite them to dinner.
That didn't fit his socially awkward persona.
Besides, it would cost money.
Realm Lord Chun Ran smiled: "Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, are you here for the Cosmic Spirit Sea?"
As she spoke, she tossed a technique manual to Qi Yuan.
"Master this technique, and the rewards you gain in the Cosmic Spirit Sea will be multiplied."
"Thank you," Qi Yuan thanked politely, his tone much gentler.
Of course, it couldn't get any gentler.
Any gentler would sound like a fake, nasal voice.
He wasn't into online relationships, so there was no need for that.
"Fellow Daoist, are you planning to visit all the places of opportunity?" Realm Lord Chun Ran asked. "If you're going to all of them, I have a suggestion. You should complete the 'Scripture of All Things' Growth' and earn the major merits first. That way, you'll gain even greater benefits."
"As expected of a Realm Lord, so clever. Just like what I was thinking. That's why I came here to exchange for major merits," Qi Yuan said.
"Major merits cannot be advanced or exchanged in advance," Realm Lord Chun Ran replied without hesitation.
"I'm not asking for an advance. I've already completed the task. The 'Scripture of All Things' Growth' has been improved."
"What?"
Realm Lord Chui Bei and Chun Ran were both stunned.
They doubted their ears.
"Take a look," Qi Yuan casually handed them the improved version of the "Scripture of All Things' Growth," then said lightly, "Now... exchanging for ten major merits shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Realm Lord Chui Bei and Chun Ran stood still, their bodies frozen.
The two of them looked at the new "Scripture of All Things' Growth," and this time, they were truly shocked.
This... it's only been a day, right?
And it's already improved?
The last time, a group of Realm Lords had spent how many billions of years?
They began to wonder if their perceptions had been misled by Qi Yuan.
"Is it acceptable?" Qi Yuan asked.
"Well..." Realm Lord Chui Bei frowned, activating three Dao Lord scriptures to dispel any illusions or influences. Finally, he said with difficulty, "It's acceptable."
"Good. Ten major merits acquired. I'm off to visit those places of opportunity to improve my strength."
After speaking, Qi Yuan disappeared.
About three breaths later, a profound aura filled the cave dwelling.
A chubby old man appeared, dressed in white and looking quite amiable.
"Chui Bei, what do you need me for?"
This chubby old man was a member of the Myriad Transformations Society who held a purple jade token, one of the ten giants of the society.
He had mastered eleven Dao Lord scriptures and was incredibly powerful.
Currently, this old man was no longer involved in research topics, instead focusing on mastering more Great Dao scriptures to seek a breakthrough.
Of course, he was still very far from the next realm.
In the current Myriad Transformations Society, there were many Realm Lords, but only three had been personally acknowledged by the Dao Lord as having a chance to break through to the next level.
And even that was just a chance.
"Senior, just now, we encountered an issue with Spirit Summoning and decided to improve the 'Scripture of All Things' Growth.' This task was assigned to Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, who recently joined the Myriad Transformations Society."
"Cut the nonsense," the chubby old man said impatiently.
Although his lifespan was infinite, he still valued time greatly.
At their level, while they were immortal, the vast amount of time they had lived would inevitably cause their true spirits to accumulate dust, leading to a decline in their talent and comprehension over time.
"In less than a day, he completed the improvement," Realm Lord Chui Bei quickly said.
"What did you say?" The chubby old man's eyes widened.
He immediately acted.
Realm Lord Chui Bei didn't resist, and the "Scripture of All Things' Growth" in his hand was taken by the chubby old man.
The old man examined it carefully, his expression constantly changing. After a hundred breaths, he took a deep breath: "If Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan is willing to help me achieve the Dao, I'd even be willing to call him my sworn brother."
He couldn't help but be shocked and delighted.
The improved version of the "Scripture of All Things' Growth" was far superior to the original, and more importantly, it seemed easier to learn.
For purple token holders like him, the more Dao Lord scriptures they mastered, the stronger they became.
However, Dao Lord scriptures weren't something you could learn just by trying.
First, you had to be highly compatible to learn them.
Second, those with low compatibility might not learn them even after a hundred cosmic epochs.
If Qi Yuan could adapt Dao Lord scriptures to suit him, wouldn't that allow him to quickly master new Dao Lord scriptures?
Perhaps in the future, he might even have a sliver of hope to reach the fourth or fifth layer of Yang God.
"Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, is he incredibly compatible with the 'Scripture of All Things' Growth,' or does he have some unique talent?" The chubby old man's expression shifted repeatedly. Finally, he said thoughtfully, "Keep this matter confidential. Don't tell anyone, understand?"
In the Primordial Council, the Myriad Transformations Society was a major power.
But there were also other powerful forces.
If this information leaked, the chubby old man couldn't guarantee that someone as strong as him wouldn't target Qi Yuan.
"Understood," Realm Lord Chui Bei and Chun Ran immediately swore oaths to their true spirits.
"It seems I need to take a closer look at this Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan. Just who is he?" The chubby old man murmured.
After all, being able to improve the "Scripture of All Things' Growth" in a single day—even a Dao Lord probably couldn't do that, right?
This Qi Yuan was somewhat terrifying.
The Myriad Transformations Society was named as such because it sought change.
This change referred to transformation and variables.
This Qi Yuan now fit the description of an anomaly, and anomalies had a high probability of being variables.
...
Six Heavens of the Immortal Realm.
The Ghost Supreme Realm Lord's gaze was calm.
Ahead, countless immortal veins shattered.
The Dragon Turtle Supreme stood at the center, devouring the vast spiritual energy.
In the next moment, spiritual energy surged.
Beside him, the second leader of the Supreme Truth Society watched with a mix of envy and awe: "After entering the Primordial Council, the Ghost Supreme Realm Lord's strength will surely improve. He will be undoubtedly the number one figure in the Six Heavens of the Immortal Realm.
Even if that Great Sun Supreme has connections with the Sole Hall, he is nothing more than a small sun."
The Ghost Supreme Realm Lord glanced at the second leader: "What I gaze upon is above the rules."
The second leader awkwardly smiled.
The Ghost Supreme Realm Lord continued: "This time, the Supreme Truth Society has been of great help to me.
After I return from the Primordial Council, I will personally meet that Great Sun Supreme and tell him that the Supreme Truth Society will not enter the Sole Hall."
Hearing this, the second leader's face lit up with a smile.
At that moment, the Dragon Turtle Supreme roared: "Ghost Supreme Realm Lord, follow me quickly!"
Without hesitation, the Ghost Supreme Realm Lord stepped into the void ahead.
The second leader watched the two disappear, his eyes filled with envy.
