Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being Chapter 731 - Shuiyun Nichang

Chapter 731 - Shuiyun Nichang

Edited by Ea

Lin Xuanzhi said, “I actually don’t know much about evil Qi cultivators. What do you think?”

Yan Tianhen said, “I suspect he’s someone we used to know. Moreover, the highest level of evil Qi cultivation is to cultivate the body with evil Qi. However, although I’ve lived for so many years, I’ve never even seen such a person before. When the Tomb of Youshan’s array was broken, the evil Qi cultivator who flew out near the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital should be Cangdi Fenglang. But according to my uncle, Tu Feng appeared many years ago. I can guarantee that when Youshan Lingyu died, all the evil spirits in the Nine Lands were sealed or killed. Nine times out of ten, Tu Feng broke the seal by himself and climbed out.”

Breaking the seal by oneself and being released by others were two completely different concepts. Even someone as powerful as Yin Chongyue still needed others to unlock the five seals one by one, so that he could finally regain his freedom.

If Tu Feng’s ident.i.ty was indeed an evil Qi cultivator that was inadvertently sealed ten thousand years ago, then he had freed himself ten thousand years later. Even though he had not recovered the strength he had in his heyday, it was still enough to make people pay attention to him. Compared to Cangdi Fenglang, Tu Feng was more terrifying.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “I’ve been in North Liang for so long, but I’ve never seen this person before. According to Yan Huaizhen, he is not ugly, but extremely handsome. If he is so unwilling to see anyone, the only reason I can think of is that he does not want others to recognize his face.”

Yan Tianhen was silent for a moment, and said through the fierce wind, “Dage, actually, I’ve always suspected the existence of another evil Qi cultivator. In fact, when I was pushed down the cliff by Cangdi Fenglang, and later when Dao Zu asked me to kill Fenglang, there were still doubts in my heart.”

“How come?”

“Dao Zu was too anxious to act at that time, which was unlike his style.” Yan Tianhen frowned deeply and said, “Dao Zu felt like he wanted to silence Fenglang.”

At that time, Lingyu had been forced to cultivate evil Qi. He only believed what his eyes saw and what his ears heard. He hated Cangdi Fenglang, who had caused him such misery. So when he heard Dao Zu say that Cangdi Fenglang was an evil Qi cultivator who had actually harmed many people, Lingyu was completely moved to kill him.

Especially when Cangdi Fenglang personally admitted that he did cultivate evil Qi, Lingyu knew that this person must die. However, was the person who pushed him down the cliff really Cangdi Fenglang?

If it was really him… then how come Cangdi Fenglang, who should’ve died, was instead sealed near the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital? All this was not done by Lingyu.

“No.” Yan Tianhen looked a little anxious. “Back then, there should have been a third person manipulating everything behind the scenes, and I very much suspect that this third person is Tu Feng. However, who is Tu Feng?”

Did Dao Zu know about his existence?

If he knew, then why didn’t he tell Lingyu to be wary of Tu Feng? Just what was Dao Zu hiding back then?

Yan Tianhen racked his brains but still couldn’t think of a reason.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “It’s useless to think about it. It’s better not to think about it for the time being. When the time comes, the truth will come to the surface.”

Yan Tianhen sighed, “We can only do that now. If we can find Cangdi Fenglang and ask him, we might be able to find something.”

Lin Xuanzhi hugged Yan Tianhen from behind. “When we return from the South Land, I will go with you to find Fenglang.”

Yan Tianhen felt relieved.

Even if the sword flew at the fastest speed, it would take ten days to travel from the North Land to the South Land. The Nine Lands were really vast, with mountain ranges and huge rivers. Especially, the farther south, the more rivers and lakes there were, and the denser the spiritual Qi.

However, similarly, there were also many snakes and insects. The miasma was mixed with spiritual Qi, which made the spiritual Qi particularly impure, so the South Land’s environment wasn’t perfect.

Flying from the air and pa.s.sing by several lakes and seas, the four cultivators finally came to b.u.t.terfly City, the largest island city in the south. As the name suggests, b.u.t.terfly City looked like a b.u.t.terfly with four b.u.t.terfly wings when viewed from above, and the location of the Imperial City was located at the junction of b.u.t.terfly City’s four b.u.t.terfly wings.

The mountains and waters in the south were beautiful, but they also contained illusion arrays.

They would step into a trap set by others if they weren’t careful.

However, for Yan Zhonghua and the others, ordinary illusion arrays were nothing, especially since someone came to greet them as soon as he entered Imperial City.

It was the South Sovereign herself.

Shuiyun Nichang was the only woman in power among the Nine Lands’ Divine Clans. She was gorgeous in appearance and an absolute beauty who also possessed a high cultivation. She was the most favored candidate for King Ye’s Consort in the past. Besides, Shuiyun Nichang was also very fond of Yan Zhonghua, and even put down her face to pursue him.

However, although she had feelings for him, Yan Zhonghua didn’t feel the same way. Yan Zhonghua was cut off halfway by You Ming. Shuiyun Nichang angrily left the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital and returned to the South Land to take over the position of the South Sovereign.

Yan Zhonghua never saw her again after that, except at her grand wedding.

Now that they met again, Shuiyun Nichang’s att.i.tude towards Yan Zhonghua was still warm. “It’s been a long time since I saw Zhonghua Gege. You even told me that you’d come to the South Land and cultivate in the Withering Mysterious Land together with me, but I waited for so many years, yet I saw no trace of you. If you didn’t come now, I would’ve gone to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital to find you myself.”

Shuiyun Nichang spoke naturally and gracefully. Although intimate, it was not annoying.

However, before Yan Zhonghua could speak, You Ming raised his eyebrows. “Shuiyun Nichang, can you speak more modestly as a woman? Calling him ‘Gege’ is really disgusting. Zhonghua is my husband now, so don’t get any ideas.”

Shuiyun Nichang also glanced coldly at You Ming and said with disdain, “I was wondering who was speaking so disrespectfully. To think that you’d still be so unruly, even after marrying. Zhonghua was really blind, to have married you.”

You Ming scoffed. “Whoever marries you will be unlucky for eight generations!”

Shuiyun Nichang said, “Then whoever marries you will be unlucky for sixteen generations!”

You Ming countered, “No matter what you say, my family’s Zhonghua still won’t marry you!”

Shuiyun Nichang flew into a rage. “You Ming, you son of a b.i.t.c.h, don’t be so arrogant in front of Laoniang. You are asking me for help right now. Is this the att.i.tude of someone who’s asking for help?”

After thinking about it, You Ming’s att.i.tude softened slightly. “Oh, I almost forgot. I didn’t come here to make trouble for you. I came to borrow your pill cauldron.”

Shuiyun Nichang, “…”

Yan Tianhen, “…”

Shuiyun Nichang was so angry that she smiled. Right now, she no longer harbored any improper thoughts toward Yan Zhonghua. As the ruler of the South Land, Shuiyun Nichang certainly knew what it meant to let go and what it meant to have a stable relations.h.i.+p built upon benefits.

Besides, no matter whether she was truly in love with her current Dao companion or not, now that she was married, she would naturally not be a fickle and indecisive person who didn’t know when to let go. She simply didn’t like You Ming; this had nothing to do with Yan Zhonghua.

Shuiyun Nichang rolled her eyes and said to Yan Zhonghua, “My husband has received a message from the East Sovereign. I already know what you’re here for, but there’s a problem.”

“Why?” You Ming raised his eyebrows. “It can’t be that just when we were about to borrow the Illuminating Sky Cauldron, you lost the cauldron?”

Shuiyun Nichang choked. “How did you know?”

You Ming said, “…How can you even have the nerve to say such an old-fas.h.i.+oned excuse?”

Shuiyun Nichang got angry. “Who would make up excuses to lie to you? You guys were one step late, and someone has already taken the Illuminating Sky Cauldron.”

Yan Tianhen’s steps stopped. “Who took it away?”

Shuiyun Nichang said, “I don’t know. You’d have to ask my husband about this. After all, my husband gave it away. When I asked him, he didn’t say anything, but said it was sent out at the behest of others.”

“Who can make your husband so obedient? Are you close to him or is that person close to him? You’re husband and wife, but did that husband ever even think of you as his wife? Your husband has a secret to hide, but you as his wife aren’t worried at all?” You Ming began to chatter to Shuiyun Nichang, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction with that husband of hers.

When speaking of this, Shuiyun Nichang was also particularly indignant. “That Yi Zishang can do this just because our Shuiyun family doesn’t have many talents anymore, but their Yi family is wealthy and influential, so they can bully me.”

Speaking of which, the Yi family was a major family second only to the Shuiyun family in the entire South Land, and was well-known in the whole Nine Lands for its powerful alchemy. In particular, Yi Buxun, the former patriarch of the Yi family, was known as the “Pill Emperor”, while Yan Tianhen was only known as the “Little Pill Emperor” at most.

Moreover, the Yi family controlled the lifeline of the pill business, and their wealth could rival that of a nation. In contrast, the South Sovereign Shuiyun’s family had few descendants over the years. When it came to Shuiyun Nichang’s generation, she was the only remaining direct branch heir.

It could be said that the Shuiyun family was in danger. Fortunately, Shuiyun Nichang was very incredible. She dominated the crowd in the field of illusion arrays and was famous in the Nine Lands. It was only through her efforts that prevented people from stealing the Shuiyun family’s properties and businesses.

The marriage of Shuiyun Nichang and Yi Zishang was partly intended to pull the Yi family over to join forces and create momentum for the Shuiyun family.

Therefore, many people on the surface were full of congratulations for their marriage, but in fact, they secretly laughed at Shuiyun Nishang behind her back, even saying things like, “The Shuiyun family has really fallen. It turns out that they had to rely on their family head selling her body to a man in exchange for a stable position. Who knows whether the surname of the South Land’s ruler would be Shuiyun or Yi in a few years.”

You Ming’s face sank slightly. “Does that Yi person dare to bully you?”

Shuiyun Nichang said, “Yi Zishang is kind to me, but his family actually looks down on me… Ah, forget it, what use is there, talking about these things? Seriously, it’s rare for you guys to visit me, so let’s not mention those unhappy things.”

You Ming quit, tugging at Shuiyun Nichang’s wrist, and said, “What the h.e.l.l, that Yi person really thinks there’s no one behind you? Laozi is one of the three great Demon Venerables in the demon world, and Yan Zhonghua is King Ye. Who dares to look down on you? You pull him over and see if I don’t beat him to death.”

Shuiyun Nichang’s heart was moved, but her mouth pouted. She threw away You Ming’s hand. “Who wants you to help me? If I wanted to punish them, I would have done it a long time ago.”

Yan Tianhen walked up from behind and whispered to Lin Xuanzhi, “How come I feel like my Dad doesn’t hate and reject the South Sovereign as much as he claims to?”

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and said, “It’s probably along the lines of, ‘he can bully the South Sovereign, but no one else can bully her’.”

Yan Tianhen clicked his tongue. “Aren’t they love rivals?”

Lin Xuanzhi thought for a moment and said, “Maybe they’ve become sisters now.”

Yan Tianhen, “…”

What the h.e.l.l are sisters?
