388: Chapter 388 Business Tycoon, Xi Yan Breaks Through!

Chapter 388: Business Tycoon, Ancestor Xi Yan's Breakthrough!

On the Flying Boat, en route to the Wandu Sect.

Mo Tianxiao and Song Xianer sat opposite each other. Suddenly, he reached out and opened his palm, revealing a shimmer of silver light.

"The Wandu Sect cultivates the world's poison paths, and you, Sister Xianer, possess the rare Poison Gu Holy Body. I wonder if you recognize what this object is?"

A tiny insect, enveloped in silver light, appeared before Song Xianer.

Song Xianer set down her teacup, her gaze curiously sizing up the Gu insect in Mo Tianxiao's hand, her expression showing a hint of surprise.

"Is this a Heavenly Emotion Gu?"

Song Xianer recognized the item. She looked up at Mo Tianxiao and asked, "Where did Fellow Daoist Li obtain this?"

Mo Tianxiao sighed softly. "Sigh, I was cursed with a Gu many years ago. If not for having some tricks up my sleeve, I'm afraid I would have been controlled by it. Seeing Sister Xianer today, I suddenly remembered this matter and wanted to ask about it."

"Since Sister Xianer says it is a Heavenly Emotion Gu, you must know its function."

Hearing this, a strange light flickered in Song Xianer's eyes. With a half-smile, she said softly, "The Heavenly Emotion Gu is one of the world's rare Gu. It is divided into the Heavenly Emotion Son Gu and the Heavenly Emotion Mother Gu."

"The Mother and Son Gu are originally one entity, where the Mother Gu can control the Son Gu."

"Although the Heavenly Emotion Gu is a rare Gu, it is not toxic; it only creates dependency."

"Whoever is afflicted with the Son Gu will become obsessed and infatuated, following every command of the one who possesses the Mother Gu, reduced to nothing more than a pet."

"Looking at the state of Fellow Daoist Li's Son Gu, I suspect that Mother Gu has already been refined by someone. If this Son Gu had integrated into your body, Fellow Daoist Li, you would be under someone's control for the rest of your life."

Hearing Song Xianer's words, Mo Tianxiao's expression turned grave. "I didn't expect this Gu to be so malicious. This Li almost fell for it!"

He knew Bai Luoshui had designs on him, but he hadn't expected her to want to turn him into a pet. If she had succeeded, how could he, with his illustrious reputation, face his Junior Sister, his Revered Master, or his many friends and brothers?

Song Xianer's expression suddenly turned gossipy, her eyes reflecting curiosity as she probed, "I wonder who is so infatuated with Fellow Daoist Li that they would use such a method to control you?"

"Infatuated? I think not."

Mo Tianxiao's face was calm. He couldn't see any infatuation from Bai Luoshui. However, connecting it to what she had said to him at the Demonic Path Grand Assembly, a realization dawned in his mind.

Could it be that Bai Luoshui mistakenly believed he possessed the God-Demon Physique, which is why she took him as a Disciple and then used the Heavenly Emotion Gu to control him? Her true goal was that so-called God-Demon Physique?

But... he didn't have a damn God-Demon Physique!

"Sister Xianer, do you know of any way to dispose of this Gu silently, without the person who refined the Mother Gu noticing anything unusual?"

Mo Tianxiao looked at Song Xianer, seeking a strategy.

Although with his current foundation, even if he had a showdown with Bai Luoshui, she couldn't do anything to him. But he had hidden it for so many years; if Bai Luoshui found out he had been pretending to be controlled all this time, wouldn't it be very awkward?

If she were to fly into a rage out of humiliation and come up with some other underhanded scheme against him, it would only add to his troubles.

Song Xianer sipped her tea with a chuckle, her tone relaxed. "Since the other party has already refined the Mother Gu, why bother thinking about disposing of this Son Gu? Wouldn't it be better to refine it yourself?"

"Oh? Refine it? Didn't Sister Xianer say earlier that if I refined this Gu, I would become another person's pet? How can I refine it?"

Mo Tianxiao didn't quite understand Song Xianer's words.

Song Xianer smiled gracefully and explained, "The Mother Gu is refined, but the Son Gu still exists. I see that Fellow Daoist Li has quite the means, having raised this Son Gu to be so spirited."

"As long as Fellow Daoist Li nurtures this Son Gu to be stronger than the Mother Gu, the Son Gu becomes the Mother Gu, and the Mother Gu becomes the Son Gu. Once you refine it, the positions of attacker and defender will be reversed."

Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao's eyes lit up in sudden realization. "You mean... I can actually control the person who planted the Gu in reverse?"

Song Xianer nodded. "Exactly."

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect it could be like this."

A smile finally broke across Mo Tianxiao's face. "As expected of the peerless Genius of the Wandu Sect. Sister Xianer's words today are like the sun parting the clouds for This Li; I am truly enlightened."

After obtaining the solution for the Heavenly Emotion Gu, Mo Tianxiao further consulted Song Xianer on methods to accelerate the Gu's growth.

To be safe, he decided to feed the Son Gu until it was even stronger. The day he achieved a Breakthrough to the Sovereign Realm would be the day he refined this Gu.

By then, even if Bai Luoshui noticed something was wrong, it would be too late.

He wanted to see what kind of expression and posture his cheap Revered Master would use to face him then.

For the next several thousand years, Mo Tianxiao entered a busy period.

Arranging several large-scale cross-Star Domain teleportation formations for the Wandu Sect's forces consumed several centuries. Later, he established a Department Store Tower named 'Li the Dog Thief' within the Wandu Sect's territory.

As the saying goes, even bad publicity is good publicity. He might as well make his name even more famous; it wasn't his real name anyway.

He spent several more centuries searching for talented Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, Talisman Revered Masters, and Formation Masters within the Wandu Sect. He had them sign life-long contracts and personally trained them to improve their skills, granting them many Peerless Grade Pill Formulas and blueprints to serve as shop treasures.

After spending over a thousand years at the Wandu Sect, everything was finally settled.

Subsequently, after hearing of the events at the Wandu Sect, the super-powers throughout the Demonic Domain personally came to invite Mo Tianxiao, requesting to join the alliance.

Mo Tianxiao had long anticipated this. He followed his plan step-by-step, starting from the Wandu Sect, moving to the Corpse Sect, the Yin Demon Valley, and then the Ghost Immortal Sect. Not a single super-power was left out.

Beyond those, he also targeted other formidable forces like the Yellow Springs Sect.

While building good relations with the various Demonic Path forces, he not only amassed a vast amount of resources but also established a chain of ten 'Li the Dog Thief Department Store Towers' across the Demonic Domain.

In just over five thousand years, he had truly become a business tycoon of the entire Demonic Domain, the Cash King of the Demonic Domain!

During this period, a major event occurred at the Hehuan Sect. The Hehuan Sect Revered Master, Ancestor Xi Yan, successfully broke through her Bottleneck, reaching the Sixth Tribulation Law Realm.

At the Hehuan Sect.

Having finally spread his business across the entire Demonic Domain, Mo Tianxiao, who was preparing to organize his gains, suddenly froze. His figure flickered as he stepped out of his Immortal Cave.

Rumble—

Countless Disciples of the Hehuan Sect emerged, looking toward the depths of the starry sky. Divine thunder rolled with overwhelming pressure. Endless stars were annihilated into nothingness beneath that world-ending divine thunder, and countless Law powers intertwined and rotated in a bizarre spectacle.

Mo Tianxiao walked to the square and came to Bai Luoshui's side, asking curiously, "Revered Master, this is...?"

A look of joy was visible between Bai Luoshui's brows. "Grandmaster is about to break through to the Sixth Tribulation Law Realm!"

"So it's Grandmaster breaking through. Does a Law Realm Breakthrough always cause such a massive commotion?" Mo Tianxiao was full of curiosity as he watched the depths of the starry sky.

Bai Luoshui said crossly, "The Sixth Tribulation Law Realm is a major hurdle for Law Realm Cultivators. Those who cross this tribulation are worlds apart from those before it!"

"Oh? What does that mean?"

Bai Luoshui explained, "As everyone knows, above the Law Realm is the Venerable Realm. For Cultivators below the Five-Tribulation Law Realm, the probability of breaking through to the Venerable Realm is one in a hundred million, nearly zero. But for a Sixth Tribulation Law Realm Cultivator, the probability of breaking through to the Venerable Realm is as high as ninety percent!"
