201: Shocking, a man actually did this to a little girl!

Chen Ping'an revealed a bitter and bewildered expression, bowing deeply.

“Reporting to Revered Master, this Disciple… does not know why.”

“This Disciple has tried to impact the Purple Mansion realm several times, but at every critical moment, I always feel… as if something is missing in the dark.”

“That feeling is like scratching an itch through a boot, like gazing at the moon in water; clearly, it’s just one step away, yet it feels as if there’s an insurmountable chasm in between.”

His voice was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.

Lu Yuchen frowned upon hearing this, his heart also quite puzzled.

Chen Ping'an's Heart-Nature, Comprehension Ability, and talent were all top-tier.

Logically, he shouldn’t be stuck at a mere Purple Mansion Bottleneck.

“System.”

He asked faintly in his heart.

“What’s the situation with this kid?”

“Ding! Searching for Host…”

“Search successful!”

“Disciple Chen Ping'an possesses a special Physique—Gui Xu Sword Body (Awakening). This Sword Body is a supreme Dao Body born for the sword and dying for the sword, with infinite potential.”

“However, this world is a land of the End of Dharma, and the Law of the Sword Dao is incomplete.”

“For the Gui Xu Sword Body to Breakthrough, it needs to absorb a massive amount of the Law of the Sword to forge a supreme Dao Foundation. The Law in this world is too thin, far from enough to satisfy its Breakthrough needs.”

“So that’s how it is.”

After all that, it wasn’t that his Disciple was incapable.

It was that this world was too trashy, unworthy of his precious Disciple.

“This matter is simple.”

Lu Yuchen looked at Chen Ping'an, who still wore a troubled expression, waved his hand, and said calmly.

“Don’t be impatient, just wait patiently.”

“Wait for Revered Master to find enough ‘nourishment’ for you.”

Chen Ping'an, though not understanding why, saw his Revered Master's confidence, and the anxiousness in his heart finally subsided by more than half.

He knew that as long as Revered Master said there was no problem, then there definitely wouldn’t be a problem.

…

Night.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, casting its cold moonlight over the entire Tianzhu Peak.

Lu Yuchen appeared at the peak.

The mountain wind was fierce, making his robes flutter, as if he were an exiled immortal about to ascend with the wind.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the boundless starry sky and the sea of clouds that seemed within reach.

After a long silence.

He slowly opened his mouth.

“I need to talk to you.”

“If you don’t come out, when those foreigners attack later, you can deal with it yourself.”

As soon as his voice fell.

Above the Nine Heavens, the situation suddenly changed!

Thousands of stars seemed to lose all their brilliance at this moment.

A streak of colorful light tore through the clouds, coming from beyond the heavens, and slowly descended in front of Lu Yuchen.

As the colorful light dissipated.

A small loli, dressed in a colorful ethereal dress, exquisitely sculpted, looking no older than five or six years old, appeared out of thin air.

She was barefoot with tender little feet, floating in the Void Realm, and her large, dark eyes were now filled with an uncontrollable… anger and grievance.

It was none other than the Incarnation of Heavenly Dao, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

“You still have the nerve to call me out?!”

The Heavenly Dao loli immediately bristled upon seeing Lu Yuchen, pointing her small finger at him, her voice childish yet exasperated as she shouted.

“Do you know how much trouble you caused me by exposing your identity as a Cultivators in front of that Dark Angel last time?!”

“Now, the Heavenly Dao of that Myriad Spirit Great World is like a dog-skin plaster, constantly staring at my place! Afraid that I’m hiding some treasure!”

“I…”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, her eyes reddening, golden tears welling up, looking utterly wronged.

Lu Yuchen watched her, his eye twitching unconsciously, and he touched his nose a little guiltily.

“Ahem, well… it’s bound to happen, bound to happen.”

“Bound to happen my ass!” The Heavenly Dao loli stomped her foot in anger, “Do you know, if you hadn’t exposed yourself, this matter could have been delayed for at least another thousand eight hundred years!”

“After a thousand years, when I finish repairing this world, then who would be afraid of whom?!”

Lu Yuchen pouted, too lazy to argue with her about it.

He changed the subject, getting straight to the point.

“Alright, alright, stop crying, let’s talk business.”

He pointed to the ground beneath his feet and said faintly, “Don’t tell me you don’t know about that underground palace beneath the water.”

The Heavenly Dao loli’s crying stopped abruptly upon hearing this, and a hint of almost imperceptible… guilt flashed in her watery eyes.

She fell silent.

She did indeed know about the underground palace.

“Hmph!”

She snorted coldly, which was an acknowledgment.

Lu Yuchen understood, seeing her reaction, and continued, “I have a Disciple, a natural Sword Body, who needs a massive amount of the Law of the Sword to Breakthrough. This world of yours is too broken; there isn’t enough nourishment.”

“So?” The Heavenly Dao loli looked at him warily.

“So…” Lu Yuchen grinned, showing his white teeth, “Hand over all those good things you’ve been hiding.”

“Otherwise, you deal with those foreigners yourself.”

Lu Yuchen’s righteous demeanor, as if haggling at a vegetable market, almost made the Heavenly Dao loli so angry that her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering on the spot.

“You… you bandit!”

She stretched out her tender little hand, pointing at Lu Yuchen, her voice childish yet tearful, “Do you know that every wisp of Origin Law is the most core Foundation of this world?! You… you ask for so much at once, do you want to dismantle my world?!”

“Don’t give me that.” Lu Yuchen pouted, not falling for her act at all.

“This world of yours is dilapidated, like a deflated balloon; if I don’t patch it up for you, it’ll be doomed sooner or later.”

“Besides, which of my Disciples isn’t a ‘Son of Destiny’ with great Luck? When they become stronger, won’t theUpper limit of this world of yours also rise? This investment, you’ll definitely profit!”

The Heavenly Dao loli’s crying stopped upon hearing this.

This… actually made a lot of sense.

But she just wasn't reconciled!

That was her Origin! That was her “private stash”!

“No! At most… at most I’ll give you a wisp!” She held up a tiny finger, gesturing, her face filled with the pain of “no more than this.”

“A wisp?” Lu Yuchen scoffed, his eyes instantly turning dangerous.

“Do you believe me if I just pack up and leave right now? When those birdmen attack, will you use your head to stop them?”

“…”

The Heavenly Dao loli’s mouth instantly drooped.

“Wah—!”

She couldn't hold back anymore, plopping down on a cloud and bursting into tears, crying heartbreakingly and despairingly.

She looked like a little girl whose candies had all been snatched away by a bully.

“Here! Take it all! You bad guy! Bully!”

While crying, she stretched out her small hand and grabbed something in the Void Realm.

Buzz—!

The entire world trembled violently!

A wisp of gray Qi, thinner than a hair, yet seemingly containing all the sharpness in the world, was forcibly extracted by her from the Void Realm!

The moment that gray Qi appeared, all the weapons on Tianzhu Peak, and even within a radius of ten thousand li, began to hum uncontrollably as if in submission!

The gray Qi slowly condensed in the Heavenly Dao loli’s hand, eventually forming a rhomboid crystal, no larger than a thumb, entirely gray-white, within which countless sword shadows seemed to rise and fall…

Origin of the Sword!

“Here! Take it!”

The Heavenly Dao loli threw the crystal to Lu Yuchen as if it were trash, her face filled with grievance and reluctance.

“Once you’re done, scram! I never want to see you again!”

After saying that, she transformed into a colorful streak of light and fled into the endless Void Realm without looking back, disappearing from sight.

As if afraid that if she hesitated for a moment, she would regret it.

Lu Yuchen took the crystal, which contained a massive amount of Sword Dao Law, and felt the pure power within it that could drive any swordsman mad, nodding in satisfaction.

“At least you’re sensible.”

He pouted, and with a flicker of his figure, he had already returned to the Sect Master’s main hall.

…

Inside the main hall.

Chen Ping'an was still sitting cross-legged, his expression focused.

When he saw his Revered Master return, and the crystal in his Revered Master's hand that emitted a terrifying aura that made his Soul tremble, his eyes burst forth with brilliant light.

He could feel the blood in his body boiling at this moment!

The Bottleneck that had troubled him for so long showed signs of loosening the moment this crystal appeared!

“Take it.”

Lu Yuchen casually threw the Origin of the Sword over.

“Refine it.”

“Yes, Revered Master!”
