"Hehe, that's your problem."
"Kid, your master is only responsible for refining pills for you. As for getting the ingredients, figure that out yourself."
"Whether you buy them, borrow them, or even rob someone outright, no one in a little place like this could stop you, right?"
"So, give it your best! Your master has faith in you!"
The Medicine Emperor chuckled and offered Xiao Yan a few ideas.
"..." Xiao Yan was speechless.
I definitely can't afford to buy them. As for borrowing, should I ask Xun'er?
That little rich girl probably wouldn't miss a few gold coins, but I'm a man!
How could I spend a woman's money?
Wouldn't that make me a kept man?
As for robbery... well, with my strength, no one in Wutan City could stop me.
But I can't rob anyone as Xiao Yan. I'll have to learn from a certain Heavenly Sovereign and come up with a false identity.
With that thought, Xiao Yan slowly walked out of his room.
Looking at the moonless, windswept night, so dark he couldn't see his own hand before his face, Xiao Yan's smile grew broader.
Then he headed toward Xun'er's residence.
In Xiao Xun'er's courtyard, Ling Ying stood hidden in the shadows, frozen in stunned disbelief.
Someone had just spoken inside his head.
Even more unbelievable was that whenever he closed his eyes, a virtual screen appeared.
Written across it were the words "Myriad Worlds Chat Group"!
There were four other people in the group besides him.
They were the group owner, the Omniscient and Omnipotent Wang Daxian!
Yue Buqun, Who Would Never Castrate Himself!
Han Tianzun, Revered by Thousands!
The Sealed Demon Emperor!
And finally, there was him. His name here was actually "Ling Ying, the Gu Clan's Strongest Dou Emperor"!
That name terrified him. The Gu Clan had a whole host of Dou Zong and Dou Zun, and even plenty of Dou Sheng. How could he dare call himself the strongest?
What exactly is this thing?
Could it be some technique of the Hun Clan?
Ling Ying thought in alarm.
I'm only a lowly Dou Emperor. Surely the Hun Clan wouldn't need to target me like this?
If they really wanted to act, they should target my young mistress. Why make trouble for a lowly Dou Emperor like me?
Yue Buqun, Who Would Never Castrate Himself: "Welcome, newcomer! This is the Myriad Worlds Chat Group!"
"Everyone in the group comes from a different world, while the group owner is an all-knowing, all-powerful existence."
"If you have any questions, you can ask me first. If I don't know, just @Omniscient and Omnipotent Wang Daxian!"
Ling Ying's arrival didn't cause much of a stir.
Although all these people had already been taken in by Wang Daxian's bluffing.
But the Demon Emperor himself looked down on Yue Buqun and Han Tianzun to begin with.
Han Tianzun, meanwhile, was an exceedingly cautious man.
Wang Daxian had to maintain his aloof persona, so Yue Buqun was the only one guiding the newcomer.
Myriad Worlds Chat Group?
People from different worlds?
As Ling Ying read Yue Buqun's words, his astonishment only grew.
If that's true, this is a tremendous opportunity for me!
With his aptitude, reaching Dou Emperor had already been no easy feat. He still had some confidence in reaching Dou Zong, but none whatsoever in reaching Dou Zun.
Now that he had a chance to come into contact with other worlds, Ling Ying's heart, which had gradually grown resigned and detached, stirred with ambition once more.
"Ling Ying?"
"Are you from the Dou Qi Continent, from a faction called the Gu Clan?"
Just then, the Omniscient and Omnipotent Wang Daxian spoke, as though Yue Buqun's mention had summoned him.
"Gasp!"
"He actually knows I'm from the Gu Clan?"
Reading Wang Daxian's words, Ling Ying couldn't help drawing a sharp breath and muttering to himself.
"You are correct, senior. I am indeed from the Gu Clan. May I ask how you knew?"
Ling Ying steadied himself before asking.
Although the man's name carried the title "Omniscient and Omnipotent," and Yue Buqun had described him the same way.
Ling Ying still found it hard to believe.
Even the legendary Dou Di wouldn't dare claim to be omniscient and omnipotent.
Thus, Ling Ying maintained a trace of skepticism toward this Wang Daxian.
"When I traveled the myriad worlds in the past, I once visited the Dou Qi Continent. Your Gu Clan's Ancient Emperor only managed to enter the Dou Di realm after receiving guidance from me."
"Oh, right, @Sealed Demon Emperor, a Dou Di is equivalent to the Ancestral Realm, or a half-step Heavenly Sovereign—in other words, a quasi-Heavenly Sovereign."
As Wang Daxian spoke, he deliberately tagged the Demon Emperor.
Only that way could he further enhance his imposing image.
"..." The Sealed Demon Emperor was speechless.
Originally, he had harbored many doubts about Wang Daxian, but now he was beginning to believe him.
Someone who understood so many worlds at once, even if he wasn't omniscient and omnipotent, had to be a powerhouse far beyond him.
"Senior, you actually knew our Gu Clan's Ancient Emperor?"
Ling Ying asked in disbelief.
The Ancient Emperor was a figure from at least tens of thousands of years ago.
In other words, this Wang Daxian had lived for at least tens of thousands of years.
"We only met once. I merely offered a casual word of guidance."
"Still, since you were able to enter this place, you could be considered to have a fated connection with me."
"I shall spend a little time divining the protagonist favored by fortune in this era of the Dou Qi Continent for you."
"That will also let you know which people you must not offend."
Wang Daxian spoke with feigned nonchalance.
"Thank you, great immortal!"
Although Ling Ying still didn't know whether the man's words were true, he remained thoroughly respectful on the surface.
If the man really had such abilities and had truly guided the Ancient Emperor, he would have to seize this opportunity.
Perhaps a casual word of guidance from him could allow Ling Ying to become an emperor too.
When that happens, should I call myself Emperor Ling or the Shadow Emperor?
At the thought, a smile unconsciously appeared on Ling Ying's face.
About an hour later, a notification sounded in the chat group.
"Ding! Omniscient and Omnipotent Wang Daxian has uploaded 'Battle Through the Heavens' to the group files!"
"@Everyone, the entire future development of the Dou Qi Continent is recorded in here. You can all take a look."
Wang Daxian spoke after uploading Battle Through the Heavens.
"Ding! Yue Buqun, Who Would Never Castrate Himself, has downloaded Battle Through the Heavens!"
"Ding! The Sealed Demon Emperor has downloaded Battle Through the Heavens!"
"Ding! Han Tianzun, Revered by Thousands, has downloaded Battle Through the Heavens!"
"Ding! Ling Ying, the Gu Clan's Strongest Dou Emperor, has downloaded Battle Through the Heavens!"
"A young genius whose cultivation regressed... that certainly matches Young Master Xiao Yan!"
Ling Ying nodded to himself as he read Battle Through the Heavens.
But when he reached the part about breaking off the engagement, things were somewhat different.
It said that Nalan Yanran came to break off the engagement, that an enraged Xiao Yan wrote her a letter of repudiation, and that he made a three-year agreement with her to wash away his humiliation.
But I was there just now too. Nalan Yanran clearly made that agreement because she'd been scheming all along to marry Xiao Yan!
