Ten-Trillion-Case Database

Azure Origin Patriarch?

What nonsense was this kid spouting?

The five of them had the same thought, but the other four all looked toward their captain.

For an ordinary mission like this, he did not even need to act personally.

Even the weakest member of their team was at the Golden Core realm. Dealing with someone at Qi Refining Great Perfection should have been easy... my ass!

The Myriad Heavens Containment Center had dozens of cases where teams had casually acted, only to be wiped out entirely.

Did he have nothing better to do than take on this kind of job as a dignified Deity Transformation Great Perfection cultivator?

Chu Tian?

Zhao Wu glanced calmly at Chu Tian. A moment later, Chu Tian began convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

Sometimes, there was no need to ask for the information one wanted to know.

"The sealing power of the Void Shattering realm."

Chu Tian lay limp on the ground like a dead dog, slumped like mud. He no longer had the strength to say or do anything.

"It should be the system's method. In that case, soul-searching is impossible."

The nearby team member frowned as he looked at Chu Tian and analyzed the situation.

"If soul-searching is impossible, then we'll use the most primitive method. He'll talk eventually."

Zhao Wu did not care in the slightest. He was merely a useless Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator.

It was just a bit of a waste of time.

Chu Tian belonged to a system.

Which system?

Gu Yuan knew far more than these five people from the Containment Center.

Azure Origin Patriarch said Chu Tian was not his man, while the Containment Center said Chu Tian belonged to a system.

Things were getting more and more confusing.

It seemed the system had truly put in considerable effort to get Azure Origin Patriarch to leave this world.

"Azure Origin Patriarch! Azure Origin Patriarch!"

The extremely weak Chu Tian kept muttering Azure Origin Patriarch's name. He had already lost all self-awareness and could only repeat the words Gu Yuan had guided him to say.

"Where is the information I had you investigate earlier?"

After looking at the unconscious Chu Tian, Zhao Wu spoke to a woman.

With a wave of her hand, a virtual screen appeared before them.

Information about Azure Origin Patriarch instantly surfaced—where he had been born, how he had risen to prominence, and how he had established Cangyuan Palace. It was fairly detailed overall.

The turning point seemed to have been the year bandits massacred his village when he was seven.

Zhao Wu seemed to have made up his mind and immediately ordered, "Combine the information we currently possess with the database records and analyze Azure Origin Patriarch's experiences."

[Beep! Data analysis in progress!]

What a good thing!

It truly was a good thing, except it could only be used once for free. If their judgment was wrong, it would be a complete waste.

A 20% discount? Even a 70% discount would still be damn expensive.

If time had not been so short, he might not have used it.

Holy shit?

Ten trillion cases?

Gu Yuan had no interest whatsoever in this so-called comparison system. Many technological worlds had this sort of data analysis.

What truly shocked him was the ten trillion cases.

In other words, this so-called Containment Center had contained at least ten trillion systems.

What kind of concept was that?

"That Azure Origin Patriarch possesses Void Shattering realm strength. Though I'm only one step below him, he'll still be troublesome."

Was the realm above Deity Transformation the Void Shattering realm?

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Shattering.

There really were a lot of realms.

"Why not use that ancient strange treasure?"

The young man hesitated briefly before offering his suggestion.

Ancient strange treasure?

It sounded pretty damn impressive.

Gu Yuan really wanted to see what it looked like.

"That thing is far too sinister. Although much of its sinister nature faded after the ancient Great Cataclysm, it's best not to use it unless we have no other choice."

At the young man's words, a clear trace of wariness flashed across Zhao Wu's face.

Unless they reached the final step, he was unwilling to use that sinister thing.

Ancient Great Cataclysm?

Gu Yuan felt like a frog at the bottom of a well. He knew nothing. This was yet another term he had never heard before.

Still, the feeling of gradually uncovering the secrets of the myriad heavens was quite nice.

"What do we do with Chu Tian?"

"Kill him."

Well then.

In the end, Chu Tian had not survived after all.

Poor Chu Tian.

Poor future energy.

Cangyuan Palace.

Fu Chengqin walked through the inner sect.

That was right, he had broken through.

After obtaining Azure Origin Patriarch's opportunity, the secret manual his father had found, and the Qi Refining Formula he had acquired from the Scripture Repository, his cultivation speed had been astonishing.

In a short time, he had broken through several minor realms in succession and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

That lousy Qi Refining Formula looked low-level, but it was quite good for stabilizing one's realm.

He had not abandoned the Qi Refining Formula. He was a promising seedling.

Gu Yuan suddenly appeared beside Fu Chengqin, his own realm having reached Foundation Establishment as well.

Of course, this Foundation Establishment breakthrough did not rely solely on Fu Chengqin. Some outer sect disciples had contributed as well.

And... Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wu had believed too easily. At first, Gu Yuan had thought the man had some kind of scheme, but it turned out he simply regarded Gu Yuan as an opportunity.

Sure enough, the people who believed in such things the most were either those who had seen the world or those who had never seen it.

At this rate, with Zhao Wu's help, Golden Core was just around the corner.

Another breakthrough—Foundation Establishment mid-stage.

Zhao Wu was awesome!

However, those five had been waiting outside Cangyuan Palace for several days without making a move. They were still far too wary of Azure Origin Patriarch.

Gu Yuan checked Azure Origin Patriarch's current state.

Mm, they had indeed overthought things.

At that moment, Azure Origin Patriarch was still loafing around, rocking back and forth in a reclining chair while eating fruit. Every now and then, he used the light screen before him to search for interesting stories within Cangyuan Palace.

"Why are so many people kneeling outside the outer sect again? How did selling oneself to bury one's father end up here?"

Azure Origin Patriarch glanced at the rogue cultivators outside Cangyuan Palace who wished to join the sect. His gaze settled on a man holding up a sign that read: Selling Myself to Bury My Father.

"Isn't his father still alive?"

A stream of divine soul power passed through the man's mind. Azure Origin Patriarch hated liars, so with a grand wave of his hand, he beheaded the man's old father from thousands of miles away.

Mm, and because he feared the old man's father would be lonely, he casually killed his old mother too.

Killing one was killing, and killing two was killing.

Now that was real. Cultivation required seeking truth and being practical.

There really were more good people like him in this world.

Gu Yuan: ...

He really... I'm crying.

[You really are bored.]

"Yo? System, you're alive again?"

[I am merely reminding you, as usual, to leave this world sooner and grow stronger.]

"Oh, so that's how it is... I don't believe you."

Azure Origin Patriarch rocked his chair, a smile appearing on his face as he stared ahead.

The system fell silent.

"Chu Tian is your man, isn't he?"

Faced with the system's silence, Azure Origin Patriarch did not care and continued speaking.

His expression did not change in the slightest from beginning to end.
