Chapter 1884: No Waste

"Let's do it," Chu Xingran nodded.

Since Lu Yun had spoken of it, that meant he was fully confident in completing the task. Chu Xingran had absolute faith in Lu Yun's ability. After all, he and the dragons were alive only through the grace of the treasures that Yun Yi had left behind.

"Then wait here." Lu Yun nodded and sauntered out of the cocoon of safety.

Violence of epic proportion raged without end and grew increasingly pronounced. Someone came for him before he could fully assess the situation and brought a blade down on his head.

Eyes widening, he hastily darted to the side.

When a few more figures broke through the air to surround him, Lu Yun noticed that all of their eyes were scarlet—they seemed to be affected by certain emotions and had lost their sense of self. They knew nothing but to kill others.

"That's not it!" Lu Yun understood the problem and vanished in the void after dodging a few more attacks. Safely out of sight, he made his way toward where he'd sensed the Sea of Creation.

"A tremendous power of the emotions has taken over everyone here…" It wasn't the first time that he'd seen this happen. Some treasures had once appeared in another location and elicited people's greed, immersing them in endless slaughter. The situation this time was the same and slightly different.

There was a horrific power at play that turned one into a mindless killing machine even in the absence of treasure or anything to fight about. In other words, there was no Sea of Creation. Someone had released a power that made those caught here believe the treasure was here, and that it'd already ended up in someone's hands.

Therefore, a heaven-shaking melee of uncontrollable intensity began.

Chu Xingran and the others were safe because Yun Yi's treasure isolated them from the power. There were also no high supremes present. That strange power made everyone believe there were personages stronger than supreme on the scene.

Lu Yun's previous judgments and deductions were also affected by the power, making him erroneously believe that he'd determined where the Sea of Creation was.

In reality, there was nothing here.

Thanks to the Tome of Life and Death, he was able to shake off the power relatively quickly. Remaining still on the spot, another power of emotion oscillated from his body. It couldn't affect the emotions of others, but it could perfectly envelop him with protection. That made him invisible to those under the power's sway.

"Come out," Lu Yun called out. "I know you're here, Yun Yi."

"I'm not behind it." Yun Yi walked out of the shadows. She shook her head gently when she reached Lu Yun. "I have no need to do something like this."

Yun Yi was indeed a woman, a very dangerous woman. If Mo Yi hadn't permitted the Dao King to go with Yun Yi for a certain task, Lu Yun, Chu Xingran, and Xie Tianxun wouldn't have been freed from her machinations.

Lu Yun looked straight at Yun Yi, discovering that there was a similar power around her. If one believed Yun Yi was a man, then they saw a man. But if they knew Yun Yi was a woman, they saw Yun Yi's true form.

Everyone believed the stories that painted her as a man. Additionally, she was so strong that many weaker beings couldn't see her at all, so they firmly believed that Yun Yi was a man.

But on the contrary, she was a woman. A very perfect woman.

At least, she was a kind of flawless woman that Lu Yun had never seen before. Whether it was his Yama Kings, the little fox, or Qing Yu—all seemed crude and were outshone in front of Yun Yi. Beauty affected its surroundings when it reached perfection. It changed the rules and was around it, which then filtered through to order. Alteration in order was then fed back to the source of the beauty.

The little fox and Qing Yu would be well matched to Yun Yi if she was an ordinary being. But she was so strong that heaven and earth quite naturally became her adornments, making her the epitome of perfection in this part of existence.

To Lu Yun, there was a poppy blossom in front of him. As beautiful as it was, partaking it would plunge him into an unending abyss.

Yun Yi was expressionless. She'd revealed herself to explain things because of Mo Yi and the Dao King. Only those two could help her, and Lu Yun was very important to Mo Yi. A single word from the young man had induced Mo Yi to persuade the Dao King to help her.

"It's not me," she repeated. "I have no use for the Sea of creation. I'm here for Chu Xingran."

"As a disciple? Or dao partner?" Lu Yun asked.

"Neither," Yun Yi shook her head. "I just want to give him some of the ancient heritages. I don't want him for a disciple. Before you appeared, I prepared Chu Xingran as a sacrificial good so he would bring the heavenly court's inheritance to the realm monster. I poured forth too much time and effort on him."

Ah, I see what she's thinking.

Yun Yi had found a better way to accomplish some of her goals and there was no need for Chu Xingran as a sacrificial good anymore. But since she'd invested so much in him already, she shifted her mindset to fully raising him instead so he could continue growing.

Her efforts on the man would not be wasted that way. As for whether or not she wanted to take him as a disciple… she just didn't want to create waste.

I wonder how Chu Xingran will think if he finds out what Yun Yi's motives are. But no matter what he thought, Yun Yi wouldn't care.

It was just as Lu Yun had said, the primordial heavenly court had fallen when it wasn't able to adapt to the changing times. But its legacy remained in Yun Yi's hands and continued to progress without pause.

"I see now," Lu Yun nodded. "Can you help me find the Sea of Evolution?"

"No," Yun Yi shook her head.

Lu Yun suppressed an eye roll. "Then send me out of here and I'll look for it myself!"

Yun Yi nodded, piercing through the void with a gentle wave.

"Don't disturb Chu Xingran again before you obtain the treasure," she said. "Although I didn't create this place, it's very beneficial for him."

Her replica was here only to oversee Chu Xingran's development. She didn't want to get involved in other matters.

Lu Yun waved her off and stepped out of the void. When he looked back, he found a towering mountain rising behind him. The world filled with violence was gone.

"Eh? Who're you? How did someone get out of that place?" a surprised voice traveled into his ears.
