Yellow Millet Dream

Within the Six Desires Heaven, countless palaces, temples, and monasteries were hidden in the clouds, breathtakingly beautiful.

Below the clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, illuminating the four figures of Heavenly Kings reaching up to the sky and standing on the earth. Cracks spread across their bodies like spiderwebs. Suddenly, a massive, hideous Buddha head broke off and plunged into the black lake.

"Boom!"

Giant waves surged in the lake, crashing against the isolated island-like Lotus Platform.

"Is it over?"

Chen Xuan asked, turning his head to gaze at the dramatic changes in the sky. The woman's voice gradually stopped, lazy and weary.

"...Mm."

Even fierce winds and torrential rain eventually cease.

Chen Xuan released his hand and stood up, turning to look at the black lake. The giant Buddha head was slowly sinking.

Yan Yushu tidied her clothes, her jade fingers gently rubbing her wrist which had been squeezed purple. She frowned slightly and complained, "You don't understand how to cherish and protect women. That's too much..."

The malice accumulated over the past few days had been relieved, and there were no lingering issues. She seemed to be in a good mood, even having the inclination to make harmless jokes.

Chen Xuan's gaze was indifferent. Time was pressing, and he had no mind for flirting. While circulating the Yellow Millet True Scripture, he went straight to the point and asked:

"Does City Lord Lu Zhuan know about what happened between us?"

Yan Yushu cultivated the Water Virtue Black Qi, and Lu Zhuan was also from the Rain Master Dao.

If Lu Zhuan were to use Yan Yushu's Black Qi to investigate, his biggest secret might be exposed, and the mystery of Mind Fast could be discovered.

This risk was too great. The ghosts and monsters of the Southern Wilderness targeted him because of his root bone aptitude.

But if Mind Fast were exposed, and top-tier powerful beings saw him as a Heavenly Fate Immortal Seed, it was hard to imagine what consequences that would bring... This was also one of the reasons he immediately pursued Yan Yushu as soon as he discovered her whereabouts.

"Seven emotions and six desires, matters between men and women, even the ancient immortals and sages couldn't avoid them... We have a clear conscience, and even if something did happen, if Lu Zhuan knows, he knows. He can't control what I want to do."

After releasing her pent-up emotions, Yan Yushu appeared incredibly dignified, like a fairy untouched by worldly concerns, her voice cool and clear.

She knew Chen Xuan was a righteous person and had originally intended to endure it herself, but upon suddenly meeting Chen Xuan today, it was impossible to let go of this rare opportunity.

It was fine to just treat him as an object, a tool. In any case, he was no different from a stone to begin with. She maintained this thought in her heart, which allowed her to barely face what she had done.

"Sigh..."

Chen Xuan's head felt as big as a bucket upon hearing this. He turned back helplessly, looking at Yan Yushu's fair and delicate profile, and said, "Yan Yushu, please answer the question directly."

Yan Yushu let out a chuckle, then narrowed her fox-like eyes and said:

"Don't worry, Lu Zhuan has no way of knowing your secret... It's harder than ascending to heaven for him to get information from me."

Her voice was calm, as if she was describing a trivial matter, but there was a sense of confidence and composure within it.

"What's the reason?"

Chen Xuan was puzzled and directly asked her for guidance. His experiences over the past few days had made him feel that the road ahead was difficult and full of danger.

"One is that my root bone aptitude is too good, my Immortal Qi is as heavy as Mount Tai, he can't stir it. The second is that he is a smart person, there's no reason for him to do such a thing, or rather, he doesn't dare to do it, he's afraid of disrespecting me..."

Yan Yushu answered seriously, telling Chen Xuan not to worry: "We prosper together, and we suffer together. I won't betray you."

She believed Chen Xuan was a Heavenly Fate Immortal Seed like her, and she felt a natural closeness because of this. Moreover, they could even cooperate in cultivation, which was simply a match made in heaven. She felt incredibly lucky, even encountering an opportunity like meeting Chen Xuan.

"Lu Zhuan is a top-tier powerful being at the Third Realm, or even higher. Are there things he doesn't dare to do?"

Chen Xuan was surprised. Yan Yushu's root bone aptitude was so good that even a top-tier powerful being couldn't stir her Immortal Qi? This meant that some exceptionally talented individuals could resist the suppression of higher-level cultivators.

However, as the top expert in the Red Crow City area, why didn't Lu Zhuan even dare to stir Yan Yushu's Qi?

Yan Yushu looked at Chen Xuan, smiled, and shook her head:

"They all say that the great cultivators in the world are like wolves and tigers, to be avoided at all costs."

"But I say that when they see me, they should actively make way for me!"

Her eyes were as bright as gems, and her voice was like large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate. There was a resolute strength in it as she continued:

"Chen Xuan, destiny is with us, not with those old thieves..."

"The ones who should truly be afraid are them."

"The Hanging Temple wants to capture me and refine me into a Living Bodhisattva, and Qing Yazi's Qi refining path has reached its end, so he wants to use a Heavenly Fate Immortal Seed as a medicinal ingredient for an immortal pill."

"This time, I luckily escaped the calamity."

"In the days to come, they won't sleep soundly. Because they have completely offended a Heavenly Fate Immortal Seed, and this Heavenly Fate Immortal Seed will come back to find them sooner or later..."

Yan Yushu paused, a gentle smile still on her cheeks, her demeanor radiant, but the words from her mouth were still incredibly domineering:

"Chen Xuan, if we Heavenly Fate Immortal Seeds die halfway, then so be it. But if we don't die and forge a path, then all these great cultivators who plotted against us will be held accountable, and not a single one will survive."

"Lu Zhuan's careful consideration in protecting my safety for a time today and taking me as his disciple, who knows if it won't be his future fortune!"

"..."

Chen Xuan's heart surged, and he couldn't help but give her a thumbs-up. As Yan Yushu's words echoed in his ears, a sense of heroic spirit, capable of swallowing the heavens and earth, also arose in his heart.

That's right!

Even someone like Wang Chan, who was a failure in his previous life, had lofty ambitions and the desire to roam the world after obtaining the Yellow Millet Dream.

What reason did Chen Xuan have to fear those who probed in the dark, playing with insidious schemes? In fact, those great cultivators should be the ones afraid; the people they tried to scheme against were the most terrifying group of monsters in this world.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a stream of azure-gold Immortal Qi permeated from within Chen Xuan's body. Golden grain ears fragrant, the mundane world surged like a tide, all flowing within the Immortal Qi, radiating brilliant light.

Yellow Millet Qi!

Chen Xuan had cultivated for over ten days and had used up one of Yan Yushu's time slots in the Six Desires Heaven. This True Scripture, specifically created to complement the Yellow Millet Dream and difficult for others to cultivate, had finally reached the threshold!

"Huh? Your Immortal Qi?"

Yan Yushu suddenly felt a sense of trepidation and quickly retreated. She sensed a strong feeling of danger from Chen Xuan. "You've cultivated the True Scripture, and your internal Immortal Qi has transformed and sublimated?"

She widened her eyes, realizing that while she was resisting the Six Desires Heaven, he had actually managed to cultivate a stream of True Scripture Immortal Qi. This terrifying comprehension and cultivation speed, even for Yan Yushu, who prided herself on having peerless bone structure and aptitude, whose Immortal Qi even top-tier mighty figures couldn't suppress, was utterly shocking.

Last time, cultivating two streams of ordinary Immortal Qi was already astonishing, but this time, he had even cultivated the special Immortal Qi recorded in the True Scripture!

"I cultivated it for over ten days in advance, and it's only the Ascension chapter of the True Scripture."

Chen Xuan explained, indicating that he had put in a lot of effort.

"Why be modest? I've never seen anyone as fast as you." Yan Yushu's face still showed unconcealed shock upon hearing this, but after thinking carefully, she reluctantly accepted it.

Because she could directly consume others' cultivation, while Chen Xuan could freely enter others' Heavenly Fates and rapidly cultivate the Illusion True Scripture... Heavenly Fate holders were meant to do things that seemed unbelievable to ordinary people.

Afterward, the two continued to exchange some observations.

The Six Desires Heaven collapsed and disappeared.

"Boom!"

The earth split apart, and a refining immortal furnace the size of a house flew up from deep underground into the sky. Qing Yazi stood upon it, his hair disheveled, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood while desperately fleeing.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

Blood mixed with specks of azure light sprinkled onto the ground. Immediately, countless plants grew rapidly against the wind. In an instant, precious medicinal herbs like spirit mushrooms, ginseng, and Polygonum multiflorum grew all over the ground.

"The precious blood of a top-tier mighty figure! Quick, it's priceless flesh and blood medicine!" Some low-level Qi Refiners who weren't afraid of death, wanting to gamble for a future, immediately rushed into the periphery of the battlefield despite the danger.

But as soon as they got close, they convulsed and fell to the ground. Tender green plant sprouts broke through their bodies, sucking them into dried corpses. A gust of wind blew, and they turned into a handful of dust and scattered.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat!" Seeing this, the other Qi Refiners immediately turned and ran, no longer daring to have any wicked thoughts. "The precious blood has taken root and grown with the wind, its energy is exhausted, it's useless..."

"Rustle rustle!"

In the dense forest, Chen Xuan and Yan Yushu emerged, their clothes stained with fallen leaves.

"Here!"

Yan Yushu took out two azure-purple talismans from her sleeve and gave one to Chen Xuan, saying, "This item can transmit messages a thousand miles. If I need anything, I will call you. Uh, the matter you asked me to help with... I'll try to find a way as soon as possible."

She couldn't open the Six Desires Heaven on her own. Each time she opened it, it meant consuming a Qi Refiner... She didn't have enemies everywhere.

Chen Xuan wanting to rely completely on her to cultivate the True Scripture would be difficult; he still needed to proceed on two paths simultaneously.

"Thank you."

Chen Xuan nodded, put the Communication Talisman into his sleeve, and said solemnly, "We shall meet again!"
