Believe in Yourself and You Can Pull Gold

"Could I actually be an idiot?"

Seeing Ya Fei analyze a mountain of information from the rules and explanations without even reading the Diary Copy's contents, Yun Yun questioned her own intelligence for the first time in her life.

Feeling a heaviness in her chest, she wondered if too much nutrition had gone toward her breast development, leaving her brain less than sharp.

Her gaze fell on Ya Fei's chest, which seemed even fuller than her own, and she decided that theory did not hold up.

"Because I'm strong. If one sword can't solve something, I use two. So I rarely need to use my brain." A flash of insight struck Yun Yun.

She had indeed subconsciously overlooked the fact that she was also the leader of a sect. She normally had to worry about all kinds of sect affairs, conflicts between factions, and the many matters involving the sect's Dou Zhe.

All it meant was that different people shone in different fields.

"Then what do you think are the conditions for possessing a copy?" Yun Yun asked, her pink lips parting slightly.

As the leader of a faction, she understood one principle: leave professional matters to professionals.

As long as she was strong enough, those more capable than her in other fields would still have to follow her lead.

"There are too few clues at present, so it's hard to infer anything." Delighted that Yun Yun was willing to get closer to her, Ya Fei worked even harder to demonstrate her value. "Sister Yun Yun, could you tell me when and under what circumstances you obtained the Diary Copy?"

"I..." Yun Yun openly recounted how she had obtained the copy.

"It appeared out of nowhere as well?" Ya Fei gently furrowed her brows.

With just this information, it was difficult for her to determine the prerequisite for possessing a copy.

"But there's no need to rush this." Ya Fei smiled at Yun Yun. "I have a copy, Sister Yun Yun has one too, and some others have them as well. I believe they'll all seek out Chu Xiao, whether out of curiosity or for profit."

"Sister Yun Yun, as long as you remain in Wutan City and secretly observe Chu Xiao, finding those people won't be a problem."

"Once we have more friends added, we'll eventually be able to deduce the rules and identify everyone who possesses a copy."

Hearing this, Yun Yun nodded lightly, agreeing with Ya Fei's reasoning.

"Right now, though, I'm more curious about something else." Ya Fei's eyes curved into crescents. "Sister Yun Yun, what did you mean by those final questions you asked me just now?"

Yun Yun had actually shared an ambiguous relationship with Chu Xiao. The two were about ten years apart, weren't they!?

It was actually an older woman-younger man romance, and between a female Dou Emperor and a male Dou Master at that.

It had even mentioned that the Misty Cloud Sect would meet a miserable end, while she would lie flat and head to the Great Thousand World.

Uh, did lying flat mean she had offered herself to him?

Chu Xiao was indeed handsome, and his talent was outstanding, but she...

"What final questions?" Yun Yun froze slightly, a flush rising from her neck.

Ya Fei hadn't read the Diary, so she had just publicly executed herself!

No, that wasn't right. Ya Fei would find out sooner or later.

"Open your copy now and finish reading it. Then you'll know." Yun Yun crossed her arms, her gaze turning teasing.

Now that you know the Misty Cloud Sect and the Mite'er Family will become enemies, let's see if you can still smile.

"Then I'll take a look?"

Seeing that Yun Yun had no objection and even looked expectant, Ya Fei felt that something was off, but she still opened the Diary Copy.

"Hmm!?"

The earlier contents left her stunned on the spot.

The Dou Qi Continent, a Lower Plane that had once rivaled a medium-sized continent at its peak, could ascend to the Great Thousand World?

Chu Xiao, a Saint-Rank Heaven Supreme, had died fighting the Heavenly Evil God and been reborn a hundred years in the past?

His true spirit had been damaged, and he had to recover his memories by writing a Diary. This item was even suspected to have originated from the Azure Sky Chart?

Countless pieces of information crashed into Ya Fei's mind.

It seemed unbelievable, yet it also felt incredibly real.

And Yun Yun had come here already. How could this information be fake?

Ya Fei thus became immersed in the Diary's contents.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiao, believing that he had finished today's Diary entry, began cultivating.

Calling it cultivation was not quite accurate. He was receiving the reward he could obtain for successfully binding Xun Er.

"The Ancient Clan's Divine Grade Dou Di Bloodline and the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame are the best two."

"She probably doesn't have Heaven-tier cultivation methods or Dou Skills on her yet. Most of what she has should be high-grade Earth-tier and Mystic-tier ones."

"As long as I ask, Xun Er will give me those things. I hope I don't waste a draw on them."

"If I do draw one, it can only deepen Xun Er's trust in me and the Diary. It'd be useless."

"If it doesn't work, I'll rely on a secret art as a guarantee."

"."

After completing the whole bathing-and-burning-incense ritual, Chu Xiao sat cross-legged again and began to pray.

"My future self, who will become a mythical Da Luo and transcend all things, bless me with a gold pull!"

"My future self."

Important things had to be said three times.

"Open!"

Chu Xiao widened his eyes.

The next moment, a voice rang out in his mind.

You have synchronously obtained the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame (Young Flame) from Xun Er.

"Beautiful!"

Chu Xiao slapped his thigh hard.

Sure enough, trusting himself had been the right choice.

He had pulled gold. Though it wasn't the most precious one.

But if it had been the Ancient Clan's Divine Grade Dou Di Bloodline, he could have concocted a story and had Xun Er immediately contact Gu Yuan, claiming that she had discovered a wild Ancient Clan descendant with exceptionally pure bloodline and signs of ancestral reversion.

Who could guarantee that none of his ancestors had been related to the Ancient Clan?

The Xiao Family had probably intermarried with the Ancient Clan before, right? Maybe he had reverted to his ancestral bloodline because of that?

Then he could stay in the Ancient Clan's Ancient Realm, write Diaries, and soar straight to the top.

Unfortunately, that wasn't how the script went. He had no desire to go to the Ancient Clan's Ancient Realm and sit in prison.

There were still so many peerless beauties on the Dou Qi Continent waiting for him to rescue them.

"Extract, devour!"

Chu Xiao extracted the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame (Young Flame) into his Sea of Consciousness, then activated the Thunder Flame Emperor Flame and directly devoured it.

Faced with the overwhelming Thunder Flame Emperor Flame sweeping toward it, the young flame of the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame not only failed to flee, but actively threw itself into its embrace.

In an instant, the Thunder Flame Emperor Flame's rank began rapidly rising.

No, more precisely, its rank had not changed. Its strength was increasing, returning to the level that had originally belonged to it.

At the same time, the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame's special abilities were also being devoured and absorbed by the Thunder Flame Emperor Flame.

Who knew how much time passed.

Boom!

The Thunder Flame Emperor Flame emerged, wrapping around Chu Xiao's body.

Within the shattered Dou Di Space, the energy of heaven and earth suddenly grew restless. Ignited by blackish-purple flames, it formed an energy vortex.

Visible streams of worldly energy gathered, then poured backward from the vortex into Chu Xiao's flaming body.

"I can break through while I'm at it. Then I'll enter seclusion."

A realization came to Chu Xiao, and he circulated his cultivation method to begin cultivating.

The aura of a Dou Master spread out, rising at a faint but perceptible pace.

Meanwhile, Ya Fei had finished reading the Diary and felt somewhat unsatisfied.

After closing the Ancient Book, she saw Yun Yun's half-smiling expression.

"Sister Yun Yun, congratulations." Ya Fei smiled sweetly.

"What is there to congratulate me on?" Yun Yun raised a delicate brow.

"Sister Yun Yun, are you testing me?" Ya Fei placed her hands together on her lap and spoke calmly. "With this information in advance, you have every way to prevent the Misty Cloud Sect from becoming enemies with little brother Chu Xiao and the Xiao Family. You could even come up with a suitable reason to invest in him early and become his friend."

"When that time comes, I definitely won't gain as much as you. Whatever the Mite'er Family can obtain, the Misty Cloud Sect can obtain as well."

Yun Yun: "..."

This woman's mind worked so quickly. She had thought of it immediately.

How boring. I'm leaving. I don't want to play anymore!
