17: Chapter 17 World Will

"The world will of the Small World? Here to make trouble?" Ye Qingxuan's whole body's mana surged, ready to fight for his life at any time.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanxin, the world will can mobilize the power of the entire world. Even if it's just a Small World, it can display the strength of the Soul Transformation Stage. Can Junior Nephew Qingxuan beat it?" Celestial Master Zhang was also a bit worried.

"Qingxuan won't do things without certainty. This situation should also be within his expectations; he should have a backup plan." Although Master Yuanxin was surprised, he didn't worry too much.

"Is this Heavenly Dao? Daoist Ye's actions provoked Heavenly Dao? Is he going to be done for?"

"Shut your crow's mouth. This is the world will, not quite Heavenly Dao. Daoist Ye should have a way to deal with it."

"I envy the person above. As expected of someone who finished reading hundred solutions to immortal cultivation."

"This kind of information is all in the books. If you envy it, go read the books yourself."

"A book thicker than a dictionary makes me sleepy just looking at it."

"A poor student is hopeless."

"I'm a bit curious, just curious. If Daoist Ye annihilates this so-called world will too, will the rewards be even more explosive?"

"The guy above, do you have Satan tattooed on your back? That's the world will! If you really annihilate it, that world will be equivalent to dead. Do you know what a dead world means?"

"It means a dead world?"

"Are you at it again?"

"Listening to your words is just like listening to words."

"A dead world is equivalent to losing order—not civilization order, but the basic rules of the entire world are completely messed up. It's equivalent to Daoist Ye killing all living beings in the entire world? How much Karma do you think Daoist Ye will carry?" You could tell how angry this netizen was right now from his words.

"Carrying such a huge Karma, won't the Heavenly Tribulation strike him to death when the time comes?"

"What should we do then? We can't fight, and where else can we run?"

"This lay Buddhist is right, but also not entirely right. He can fight, but he has to grasp the degree of it himself." Master Yuanxin saw the netizens' discussion and then spoke up to explain:

"Although the world will can mobilize the power of the world, it cannot act recklessly either. Its appearance this time is perhaps because Qingxuan's actions touched a certain balance of the world. As long as Qingxuan doesn't completely destroy the world's rules, negotiates with it, and Masters the right degree, it is possible to resolve this crisis."

At this time, Ye Qingxuan already felt the majestic power of the world will rushing toward his face.

He took a deep breath, circulated his whole body's mana, changed hand incantations continuously, summoned rune shields one after another, and his whole body's Sword Intent was ready to go. At the same time, he began to communicate with the world will, trying to make it understand that he harbored no malicious intent.

The world will seemed to feel Ye Qingxuan's sincerity and emitted bursts of fluctuations. A piece of information was transmitted to Ye Qingxuan's Sea of Consciousness: "Outsider... help... me... get rid of... zombies... there will be heavy... rewards."

"The world will is asking for help? Asking me to help it?" After a brief astonishment, Ye Qingxuan continued to communicate with his Divine Sense: "If you want this Poor Daoist to help you, why don't you clear them out yourself?"

"This... world... has no... living beings..."

The world will replied intermittently, and then a piece of information was transmitted into Ye Qingxuan's Sea of Consciousness. This was a scene: Turns out, the zombie crisis in this world was caused by an ancient virus accidentally discovered by a mad scientist.

The mad scientist found that the virus was extremely contagious, and then had a flash of inspiration, feeling that the virus could be used as a weapon to conquer the world.

As a result, it backfired. Through biological transmission, the virus mutated and evolved, and both vaccines and antibodies lost their effects. When the world will wanted to clean it up personally, it was already too late.

The speed of virus spread and mutation was too fast. In less than two years, all living things in the entire world were infected. The world will thought it was going to dissipate with the extinction of living beings, but unexpectedly discovered Ye Qingxuan.

Feeling the aura of a Cultivator on Ye Qingxuan, its instinct for survival and sublimation drove it to make a 'transaction' with Ye Qingxuan.

"Acceptable."

After reading the beginning and end of the matter, after a brief thought, Ye Qingxuan nodded in agreement. Regardless of what heavy rewards it had, after all, he was an outsider. Before having the strength to overturn the table, it was best not to go against a world.

Ye Qingxuan didn't expect that he could still encounter an otherworldly version of Resident Evil. However, being able to use the flesh and blood of a world to feed the human emperor banner, and also getting the permission of the world will—such opportunities were rare, even though those things were no longer considered living beings.

Getting Ye Qingxuan's reply, the world will slowly retreated.

"Ding, task changed: thoroughly clear out the zombies, no time limit." The prompt of the National Destiny Space followed closely.

Seeing this, netizens exclaimed one after another: "The world will actually needs Daoist Ye to help clear monsters? Didn't they say the world will can mobilize the power of the entire world? Can't it clean them up itself?"

"The task of the National Destiny Space has also changed. Are these monsters called zombies?"

"Even if it changed, it doesn't matter. With Daoist Ye's strength, it will take at most some time. Isn't that ten thousand Souls b... bah, no, the human emperor banner is here."

"The person above wanted to say ten thousand souls banner, right?"

"It wasn't me, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, that is the human emperor banner!!!!"

"Why can't the world will take action itself?" A curious baby couldn't help asking.

"There are three reasons. First, because the world will cannot act casually unless it can be sublimated into Heavenly Dao.

Second, that world will probably has no spare energy to act anymore. Its power comes from living beings; the stronger the living beings, the stronger it is. The living beings of that world, hehe.

Third is Qingxuan's Cultivator aura. It saw a new system. If it can survive this hurdle and use Qingxuan's aura as an induction, perhaps it can develop an immortal cultivation civilization and thus be sublimated into Heavenly Dao."

Before Master Yuanxin could speak, Celestial Master Zhang spoke first, while Abbot Kongming was still chanting Amitabha.

"I see." Everyone suddenly understood.

Ye Qingxuan could also be considered to have obtained the recognition of the world will, which can be regarded as killing by imperial edict. Although those things were no longer considered humans, he took the human emperor banner to continue clearing out zombies.

This time Ye Qingxuan no longer had any reservations. The Lin Secret Character was activated, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to add to his body, and his mana operated at full strength. The strength he erupted with almost reached the limit of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Various sword formulas and Spells were used in changing ways, just treating it as practicing.

Sword Qi, lightning, flames, frost, hurricanes—it looked like billions spent on movie special effects, dazzling people's eyes and making them sigh inwardly: Daoist Ye knows so many things, the Spells in his hands never repeated, the visuals were gorgeous and the power was also so strong.

Leaders of various countries also widened their eyes, unable to believe that an individual's strength could be so powerful, completely a country-destroying level existence. Some countries also began to consider their relations with China.

The power of the human emperor banner was turned to the maximum. In less than a minute, it could clear a city. But zombies were not only transformed from humans, there were also all kinds of birds and beasts.

Just like that, Ye Qingxuan had a killing spree, and the human emperor banner was also stuffed full. Although there weren't many Souls, the flesh and blood of these zombies allowed the grade of the human emperor banner to evolve from a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact to a Top Grade Spiritual Artifact. As long as there were enough Souls, it could evolve into a quasi-Immortal Artifact.

Two and a half days later, as Ye Qingxuan slapped the last zombie to death, the prompt of the National Destiny Space followed.

"Ding, task completed. Starting to distribute rewards."

"Overfulfilled the task. Reward: National Destiny increased by 30%.

Physical fitness of people nationwide increased by 30%.

Resources nationwide increased by 30%...

Lifespan of people nationwide + 3."

"Physical fitness has improved again, and there is also a lifespan reward. Awesome!!!"

"Hahaha, Daoist Ye is awesome plus."

"I've become stronger. I fucking feel like I'm about to fly up."

"The person above, is it possible that this is just your illusion? Try it and you'll pass away."

"The air has also become better. Taking a breath now is refreshing to the heart and spleen."

"Idiot, it's that Spiritual Qi is denser."

"When will our motherland open up Cultivation Techniques?"

"It should be soon, but given the physical fitness of Chinese people right now, I don't dare to imagine it."

"Shit! China is fucking cheating again."

"Isn't cheating our India's patent? How did China learn it too?"

"What on earth happened?"

"My sky went dark."

"Foreigners can just go be envious. Who told Daoist Ye to be our Chinese person?"

...

"Fellow Daoist Yuanxin, the Spiritual Qi has improved again. Your time to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage should be soon too. I really envy you for having such a good disciple." Celestial Master Zhang said sourly.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why envy? You guys are almost there too." Master Yuanxin said cheerfully, but in his heart he was thinking that as soon as his disciple came back, he would go into secluded cultivation. Spiritual Qi had recovered, what would it look like for a Sect Head to still be at the Foundation Establishment Stage?

It was just that Celestial Master Zhang and Abbot Kongming couldn't hear Master Yuanxin's inner thoughts, otherwise they would definitely spit in his face. What's wrong, gotten arrogant, huh? Which Sect Head is at the Golden Core Stage right now? Do you think everyone is that freak Ye Qingxuan? Breakthrough to Golden Core is just like eating and drinking water.

"The Chosen One has overfulfilled the task. Extra reward: the Chosen One's physical fitness increased by 30%. Reward distribution complete. Forced return in one hour. The live stream has been closed."

Ye Qingxuan directly sat cross-legged, waiting for the world will's reward.

After a while, the world will manifested. Only to see a cyan energy fly over. Ye Qingxuan took it and found that this energy was full of vastness and majesty, containing infinite creation and vitality, while the world will had become somewhat withered.

"This is? World Origin?" Ye Qingxuan was a bit uncertain. This thing was very similar to the world Origin recorded in the classics, but he had never seen it before. Coupled with the changes in the world will, it made Ye Qingxuan make a guess.

"Not... wrong. Tha... nk you... outsid... er." The world will replied intermittently.

"Then, go clean up your mess. This Poor Daoist should also take his leave." Ye Qingxuan put away the World Origin and prepared to go back to secluded cultivation to absorb it. Although it was the Origin of a Small World, it was enough for Ye Qingxuan to Breakthrough several minor Realms.

Soon, time was up. Ye Qingxuan's vision blurred, and he returned to Maoshan's quiet room. Looking at the World Origin in his hand, he decided to absorb it before going out, so as to avoid causing trouble if others found out. Although he wasn't afraid, the annoyance could drive someone to death.

The World Origin entered his body and headed straight for the Golden Core. Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan also began to circulate his Cultivation Technique at full strength. Spiritual Qi gathered like a torrent. Huandan Fa made the Spiritual Qi required for Ye Qingxuan's Breakthrough increase tenfold, but with the blessing of the World Origin, Ye Qingxuan's cultivation also rose steadily.

Two and a half days passed, and Ye Qingxuan came out of seclusion. His cultivation was at the Late Stage of Golden Core, close to Perfection.

This was still because Ye Qingxuan intentionally compressed it; otherwise, he could have jumped to the Early Stage of Nascent Soul. After all, a strand of a Small World's Origin was not Heavenly Dao Karma, and Ye Qingxuan didn't want to make his Foundation unstable for a moment of quick success. A little bit of the World Origin was left, probably about one-eighth.

After Ye Qingxuan came out of seclusion, his teachers and elders all came to congratulate him. Master Yuanxin was even more full of gratified joy; this disciple of his truly brought honor to him.

"Qingxuan, you've gained a lot this time. What plans do you have next?" Master Yuanxin asked.

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment and said: "Now I have reached the Late Stage of Golden Core."

Master Yuanxin: "Didn't you just Breakthrough to the Early Stage of Golden Core? How did your progress become so fast? Disciple, you must not do things that destroy your own Foundation!!"

Master Yuanxin was also panicked out of concern. Given Ye Qingxuan's performance from childhood to adulthood, where was there any need to worry about his Heart-Nature? If it weren't for respecting his teacher and valuing the Dao, it would even be no problem for him to turn around and teach Master Yuanxin instead.

"Junior Brother, your cultivation??!!"

Seeing Senior Brother Qingming shut himself in, Qingyun, Qingling, and Qingmo were already blase about it. It was very normal for Junior Brother to Cultivate fast, what was there to be strange about?

Senior Brother was also about to undergo the Golden Core Tribulation. He originally thought he could catch up with Junior Brother's cultivation, but he didn't expect the gap to become larger and larger.

Cultivating fast from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment was fine, but this was the Golden Core Stage! How could it Cultivate even faster than the Qi Refining Stage? Which Genius doesn't spend a few years or even decades to Breakthrough a minor Realm?

Back then, Qingming broke through to Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty-five with the twelfth layer of Qi Refining, and was still smug about it.

After entering Foundation Establishment, he was even more arrogant and disdainful of taking Medicinal Pills. It took him more than twenty years to Cultivate to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, and he made no further progress thereafter.

The Junior Brothers who entered the sect later were also inferior to him, until the monstrous Junior Brother Ye Qingxuan entered the sect. He practiced at the age of five, and broke through to the twelfth layer of Qi Refining at ten, walking his twenty-year path in five years. Later, hearing that Junior Brother had broken through to the thirteenth layer of Qi Refining and reached the talent level of Patriarch Lü, Senior Brother cultivated even harder. With Junior Brother's talent, he was afraid he would surpass himself soon. Although this was a fact, Senior Brother didn't want to be surpassed so quickly.

Not long after, he heard Second Senior Brother say that Junior Brother abolished his own cultivation and broke through to the fourteenth layer of Qi Refining through the method of breaking and then establishing. Senior Brother completely gave up struggling. The gap between the twelfth and fourteenth layers of Qi Refining was bigger than the gap between humans and dogs. Moreover, in the Qi Refining Stage, he didn't have the courage to abolish his own cultivation.

Sure enough, after Junior Brother broke through to Foundation Establishment, his cultivation was like riding a rocket, reaching the Perfection of Foundation Establishment in less than three years.

Ever since then, Senior Brother completely restrained his arrogance. Compare talent with Junior Brother? Forget it, his Dao Heart would shatter.

From then on, Senior Brother became gentle, refined, modest and courteous, transforming from a proud and arrogant Genius Senior Brother into a naggy old mother who babbled at his Junior Brothers.

Ye Qingxuan smiled and explained: "Master, don't worry. This time I obtained the World Origin in the Small World. With its blessing, my cultivation was able to advance rapidly, and I intentionally compressed my Realm; my Foundation is extremely stable."

Master Yuanxin only then breathed a sigh of relief: "World Origin? What good fortune for my disciple. This is very good. My disciple's talent is peerless, and his future achievements will be limitless."

Ye Qingxuan continued: "I want to take a trip to Longhu Mountain. Didn't Celestial Master Zhang say he wanted to pass down the Five Thunders Orthodoxy to me?"

Master Yuanxin nodded and said: "There is indeed such a matter. With the nourishment of the World Origin this time, coupled with the Five Thunders Orthodoxy by your side, you can be safer in the National Destiny Space."

Senior Brother also came back to his senses, patted Ye Qingxuan on the shoulder, and smiled: "Junior Brother is amazing, I must work hard."

"Is Senior Brother completely convinced this time?" Qingling teased Senior Brother Qingming with a teasing look. Second Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother had blank expressions. No way? Senior Brother still wants to compete with Junior Brother? Afraid that the blow isn't enough?

Qingming: 'You guys are truly my biological Junior Brothers.'

Ye Qingxuan modestly said: "Senior Brother, don't be discouraged either. It is also because I absorbed the World Origin. You and I will progress together."

"Four Senior Brothers, a little bit of the World Origin is left, probably about one-eighth. Let's distribute it among you."

Finished speaking without waiting for them to refuse, Ye Qingxuan divided the remaining World Origin into five parts, directly stuffed them into Master and the four Senior Brothers' bodies, and forcibly helped them refine it with Golden Core mana.

The Origin of a Small World, even if it is just a shred or a wisp, has huge benefits for Cultivators below the Soul Transformation Stage.

After Master and Senior Brother absorbed it, they directly sensed the Golden Core Tribulation. Ye Qingxuan waved his hand and suppressed it for them.

The other three Senior Brothers were directly sent to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and they were not far from the Golden Core.

"Qingxuan, you..." Looking at Master and the others' hesitant-to-speak appearance.

"Master, you should know my situation. Because of Huandan Fa, even if I absorbed it all, I couldn't reach Golden Core Perfection. It's better to use it to supplement your Foundations."

Seeing that Master Yuanxin still wanted to say something, Ye Qingxuan directly interrupted: "Master, you said before that Maoshan is also my home. How do Master and Senior Brothers treat me? It's just a little World Origin. When my cultivation goes up, won't I just go grab some more?"

Hearing these words of Ye Qingxuan, do you think World Origin is Chinese cabbage, to go grab it just like that?

Master Yuanxin and the disciples also thought about it. Indeed, Ye Qingxuan experienced world after world in the National Destiny Space. When his cultivation went up, wouldn't it just be Chinese cabbage?

"Master, Senior Brothers, I'm going to Longhu Mountain. I will be back before you undergo the Tribulation. No need to see me off." Not giving them a chance to speak, Ye Qingxuan directly merged his body into sword light and flew towards Longhu Mountain.
