5: Chapter 5 Unparalleled Divine Techniques and Evil God Techniques

"Yun Zhe, it's you, kid." Ye Xuan turned around and looked at him with some surprise.

Yun Zhe had an unremarkable appearance and came from the Yun Family, one of the three great families in Qingyang County of the Great Qin Empire.

His father was Yun Canghai, the head of the Yun Family, whose strength was in the Spirit Profound Realm.

Although Yun Zhe had mediocre talent since childhood, his father, Yun Canghai, was unwilling to accept this and spent countless heavenly treasures to send him to the Cangqiong Holy Land.

Before entering the Outer Sect, Yun Zhe had always been a nobody, until last year when he made rapid progress and finally entered the Outer Sect.

The two could be considered fellow townsmen. Because of this, when Yun Zhe first arrived at the Outer Sect, Ye Xuan often used his own surplus resources to help him.

Three years ago, the cultivation resources that Elder Wang gave to Ye Xuan every year were simply too much. Since there was no hope of advancing, Ye Xuan kept most of these cultivation resources.

Therefore, their relationship was considered quite good.

"It's simply too slow. With this speed of cultivation, that Yangyan Flower has already been completely refined by me."

"Jasmine, is there any other way on your end to improve my physique?"

Yun Zhe placed his hand on the ring, feeling somewhat anxious in his heart.

"Hmph, you know to come and ask me now? Also, you should call me Master!"

Inside the space of the ring, a girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old had a petite body like a startled kitten, curled up on a grand armchair. Her red dress was particularly eye-catching, and beneath the hem of her skirt, a pair of slender calves were exposed, smooth and delicate, with a pair of tender jade feet like ice lotuses bared.

What made it impossible to look away was her enchanting red hair. Although the corner of the girl's small mouth was raised, the expression of keeping others at a distance always remained in the depths of her eyes.

Yun Zhe swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said somewhat helplessly: "Master, then how exactly can I improve my physique?"

"Hmph, I can't be bothered to argue with you. Your master is currently suffering from a severe poison. If you cannot quickly increase your strength, you will be unable to help me at all."

Jasmine put away the dissatisfaction in her eyes: "Heavenly treasures capable of improving one's physique are extremely rare in this lower realm, and even if they exist, it is very difficult for you to get your hands on them."

"As for cultivation techniques, let me think. As far as I know, the Outer Sect of the Cangqiong Holy Land has a magical cultivation technique called the Evil God Art. The uniqueness of the Evil God Art lies in the word 'Evil'. It is a body-refining technique that can gather all the elements in the world, cleanse the marrow, and allow one to be reborn."

"This technique was once regarded as a peerless method by the founder of the Cangqiong Holy Land, Vast Firmament, but today it is regarded as dross by the people of this Cangqiong Holy Land and discarded at the bottom of the Sunset Ravine. It is truly laughable!"

Inside the storage ring space, Jasmine sneered repeatedly, as if she did not take the Cangqiong Holy Land seriously at all.

Very few people knew about this matter. Why did she know it?

Years ago, when she was seriously injured, she had no choice but to come to this Cangqiong Holy Land. She happened to have a great battle with Vast Firmament, and in the end, Vast Firmament was no match for her and told Jasmine about this matter.

After that, Vast Firmament's lifespan was exhausted, and he passed away.

When Vast Firmament practiced this Evil God Art, he was already a forty-year-old mortal, his vitality nearly exhausted. Yet, despite this, he still relied on this divine art to cultivate to the Great Emperor Realm in just twenty years and established the Cangqiong Holy Land.

"For a peerless genius, the Evil God Art is absolutely a peerless method; for a mediocre person, it is a life-burning technique!"

"Others cannot practice it because they do not understand it, but you, Yun Zhe, can practice it."

Jasmine's eyes revealed confidence.

"Master Jasmine, why? Why can't others practice it?"

Hearing Jasmine's words, Yun Zhe was first worried and then happy. He was worried that the [Evil God Art] was just a life-burning technique, but happy that it could improve his physique and allow him to be reborn as a peerless genius.

"Hehe, then let me ask you a simple question: what do you think is actually above this land where we live?"

Jasmine revealed a strange expression.

Yun Zhe did not hesitate and blurted out: "That is naturally the round sky and square earth. This is common knowledge that even children know. Master Jasmine, could this answer be wrong?"

"Hehe, Yun Zhe, you do not understand your master's strength. In my prime, I could even go beyond the continent."

Jasmine said expressionlessly: "Ordinary people think that this continent is just a round sky and square earth, boundless and endless, but in reality, the Eastern Wasteland Region is just a small star among the stars, completely inconspicuous."

"Great Emperor? It is merely the starting point for a cultivator! Yun Zhe, you only need to know that with me here, you don't need to worry about the side effects of the Evil God Art."

"Great Emperor?!" Yun Zhe was shocked. That was the extreme realm of humanity, yet in the eyes of his master Jasmine, a Great Emperor powerhouse was actually not worth mentioning.

His worldview was completely crushed, making it impossible to accept for a moment.

"The side effect of the Evil God Art is that many people do not have strong spiritual sense, and their physique is not strong enough, so it is difficult to resist its cleansing of the marrow. Therefore, those who practice it only have two paths: success or failure."

"Alright, don't overthink it. The extreme realm of humanity is too far from you. You just need to always remember that the place where you are is just a small star under the starry sky."

Jasmine stood up from the armchair and scolded him.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and go find the [Evil God Art] now."

Before Jasmine could even speak, Yun Zhe rushed out of the cave dwelling with hope. Having hope was much better than seeing nothing at all.

Who knew that as soon as Yun Zhe went out, he happened to meet Senior Brother Ye Xuan. The two could be considered good friends, so naturally, they had to greet each other.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Ye. Long time no see!" A flash of pleasant surprise appeared in Yun Zhe's eyes.

"It's Junior Brother Yun. Indeed, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Ye Xuan was still a little surprised. The last time he saw Yun Zhe was at the Spirit Herb Garden.

Yun Zhe always kept in his heart this Senior Brother Ye who had helped him many times.

Yun Zhe looked at Ye Xuan's unparalleled handsome face, and a feeling of envy inevitably arose in his heart.

He suddenly remembered that a year ago, in Qingyang Town, Lin Qingxue of the Lin Family personally came to the Yun Family to break off the engagement with Yun Canghai.

"Yun Zhe is too ugly, I don't like him at all. Please, Uncle, grant Qingxue this wish."

"The person I want to marry must be the best-looking man in this world!"

At that time, Lin Qingxue said this to everyone in the Yun Family.

The Yun Family members dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and could only let the Lin Family break off the engagement and leave.

This was only because the Lin Family's strength was powerful, far, far stronger than the Yun Family.

When Yun Zhe received this letter back then, grievance, anger, hatred, and all kinds of emotions flooded his mind.

"True Profound Realm Second Layer? It seems you've had a fortuitous encounter recently, Yun Zhe." Ye Xuan was a little surprised and keenly sensed the kid's true strength. But when he turned his gaze to the top of Yun Zhe's head, a piece of information appeared before Ye Xuan's eyes.

[Name: Yun Zhe]

[Realm: True Profound Realm Second Layer Late Stage]

[Physique: Evil God Physique (Unawakened) (Gold)]

[Life Fate: Child of Luck (Gold), Weak Water Three Thousand (Gold), Roaming the Nine Heavens (Red)]

[Favorability: 75]

[Destiny: 《Evil God》 (Protagonist)]

[Recent Destiny: Unremarkable since childhood. Once had an arranged marriage with Lin Qingxue of the Cangqiong Holy Land. At ten years old, Lin Qingxue came to break off the engagement. Refusing to accept this, he made a pact to fight her at the coming-of-age ceremony. Afterward, his father spent countless resources to send him to the Outer Sect of the Cangqiong Holy Land.]

[Half a year ago, he picked up a twelve or thirteen-year-old loli in the Spirit Herb Garden who called herself Jasmine. She made Yun Zhe take her as his master. They went to the Magic Beast Forest for training, discovered a Yangyan Flower, and after refining it, his strength suddenly broke through from the early stage of the First Layer of the True Profound Realm to the late stage of the Second Layer of the True Profound Realm.]

[One day later, he will find the Evil God Art at the Sunset Ravine of the Outer Sect of the Cangqiong Holy Land and undergo the first Thunder Body Refinement. His physique will be improved, unlocking a part of the Evil God Physique, successfully condensing the Thunder Spirit Body, and his cultivation will directly enter the Fifth Layer of the True Profound Realm, after which he will be exceptionally promoted to the Inner Sect.]

"Good heavens, this kid is the protagonist of 《Evil God》? The protagonist has actually been by my side all along?"

Ye Xuan looked at him and clicked his tongue in his heart.
