373: Chapter 373 Taking A Golden Crow Away

However, beneath this seemingly calm and indifferent exterior, Jinwu Lanxin's heart was not so peaceful.

In fact, she felt somewhat worried about this young man's strength. After all, ordinary Chaos Supreme Realm experts could not instantly imprison her, yet this man, who was merely in the Chaos Domain Lord Realm, could do so with such ease—it was truly inconceivable.

However, Jinwu Lanxin knew well that she must not show weakness in this situation.

She secretly took a deep breath, trying hard to keep her emotions calm while internally contemplating a countermeasure.

After all, she was not without reliance; she still had some trump cards she hadn't revealed.

"Why do you say that if I kill you, I won't be able to establish yourself in the Chaos? Do you think I would be afraid of the Golden Crow Clan behind you?" Cao Yang frowned slightly upon hearing this, clearly feeling puzzled by Jinwu Lanxin's words.

He thought to himself: "What exactly does this Jinwu Lanxin mean? Would killing her really bring me huge trouble? Or is she just bluffing, trying to use this opportunity to escape?"

For him, with his Invincible Domain, he was actually not panicked at all.

However, before Cao Yang could figure it out, Jinwu Lanxin continued: "The Golden Crow Clan behind me is only one important reason. As my Golden Crow Clan is an Innate Chaos Race recognized by the chaos consciousness, don't you know, Fellow Daoist, that killing an Innate Chaos Race will incur the curse of the chaos consciousness? If you are struck by the curse of the chaos consciousness, can you still transcend the Chaos?"

Although Jinwu Lanxin's tone was calm, the underlying threat made Cao Yang's heart tighten.

Cao Yang's brows knitted tightly together, his heart filled with doubt and worry. He hurriedly asked the System in his heart: "System, what is going on? If I kill someone from the Innate Chaos Race, will I really be hit by the curse of the chaos consciousness?"

Although Cao Yang was already very powerful now, possessing the Invincible System meant he could almost ignore any curse.

However, his worry did not lessen because of this, for he knew well that those related to him might be implicated by the curse, especially his beloved women.

Once the women left the range of his Invincible Domain, the curse of the chaos consciousness, unable to do anything to him, would likely turn to target them instead.

At the thought of this, Cao Yang's heart twinged with pain.

Just then, the System Loli seemed to sense Cao Yang's worry and appeared on her own to explain: "Master, you don't need to worry too much. The situation Jinwu Lanxin described does exist, but you are a transcendent existence! Not to mention the chaos consciousness, even the Grandmist will cannot deduce any information about you, let alone use a curse to hit you. Unless you are captured on the spot by the other party, and they specifically target you, you are absolutely safe."

Even Jinwu Lanxin of the Innate Chaos Race did not notice the existence of the System Loli at all.

"Hmm, that's better." Cao Yang breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

At this moment, seeing that Cao Yang was silent and had no intention of releasing her constraints at all, Jinwu Lanxin frowned slightly, revealing a trace of displeasure, and said: "Fellow Daoist, are you really not worried that you won't be able to transcend the Chaos in the future? Besides, the Golden Crow Clan behind me possesses more than one Chaos Emperor Realm expert. Do you really want to make an enemy of the Golden Crow Clan?"

Hearing Jinwu Lanxin's words, Cao Yang finally turned his gaze back to her, revealing a calm and composed expression on his face, and replied: "Fellow Daoist Lan Xin, actually, I am not afraid of the Chaos Emperor Realm experts of your Golden Crow Clan, and the curse of the chaos consciousness poses no threat to me either. However, looking at you like this, it seems it is hard for us to communicate pleasantly. Since that is the case, I actually have a place I can take you, which might make you change your mind."

"How is it possible that you..." Jinwu Lanxin's words came to an abrupt end, as if cut off by an invisible force.

In the instant she was stunned, Cao Yang moved his mind, and a powerful force instantly enveloped the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, they were like being sucked into a black hole, instantly disappearing into the Void Realm of Chaos.

The next moment, Cao Yang and Jinwu Lanxin appeared in an empty room of the xin-shen vessel as if teleporting.

The room was decorated simply but appeared exceptionally spacious.

Cao Yang made a slight adjustment, then used Divine Sense to transmit a message to Ouyang Liuli, informing her that he needed to go into seclusion for a few days and that the women should not disturb him.

At the same time, he also ordered Xiao Xin to follow Hong Sipan's command and continue traveling in the Chaos.

After completing all this, Cao Yang turned to look at Jinwu Lanxin, his lips curling slightly to reveal a faint smile.

Jinwu Lanxin stared at Cao Yang, a flash of surprise appearing in her eyes.

She clearly had not expected that Cao Yang could so easily bring her here, and that it was inside a Chaos vessel.

"I didn't expect you to actually possess a chaos supreme artifact, and a Chaos vessel at that. I suppose you must be a Disciple or descendant of some great force or some invincible Chaos expert in the Chaos."

Jinwu Lanxin's voice carried a hint of surprise. From her tone, it could be heard that her level of regard for Cao Yang had increased by a few degrees.

She was somewhat surprised now, because this vessel was actually not far from where she had just been, and with her strength, she could have reached it in an instant.

Yet, such a large Chaos vessel had approached her, and she hadn't noticed it at all, nor did she even have any premonition in her heart.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Xin, you've guessed wrong. I come from a very small place, and behind me, there are no great forces or invincible Chaos experts at all." Cao Yang shook his head and replied.

"How is this possible? If you don't have a powerful Chaos force behind you, how did you grow to the Chaos Domain Lord Realm?" Jinwu Lanxin said, full of shock and disbelief.

She widened her eyes and stared fixedly at the man in front of her, as if trying to see the secrets hidden behind him through his body.

Because when she first saw this man, she had already noticed his ordinariness.

As a seasoned Chaos creature, Jinwu Lanxin had a profound understanding of the various rules and powers of the Chaos World.

She could tell at a glance that the man in front of her was not an Innate Chaos creature, but an Acquired creature.

Moreover, although the man's Physique was exceptionally powerful, it was only at the chaos level, with no signs of potential for growth.

What surprised Jinwu Lanxin even more was that she did not sense even a trace of Chaos Fortune on the man.

One must know that Chaos Fortune is crucial for creatures in the Chaos; it is one of the key factors for breaking through to the Chaos Domain Lord Realm.

Under normal circumstances, if an Acquired creature does not have the support of a great force in the Chaos, it is extremely difficult to break through to the Chaos Domain Lord Realm.

However, the man in front of her had achieved this; it was simply too inconceivable!

Not only that, the man also had a Chaos Supreme level vessel.

In the Chaos, vessels are inherently rare treasures, and a vessel of such high Rank is even rarer.

Even the Golden Crow Clan where Jinwu Lanxin belonged, although it possessed multiple Chaos Emperor Realm experts, did not have a single Chaos Emperor-level vessel.

"To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Lan Xin, breaking through Realms is simply an easy matter for me. Without exaggeration, the time it took for me to break through from below the Chaos Realm to the Chaos Domain Lord Realm was not even one Chaos Year..."

Before Cao Yang could finish his words, he was unceremoniously interrupted by Jinwu Lanxin: "Do you take me for a fool? You just brag casually, and you expect me to foolishly believe you?"

Obviously, Jinwu Lanxin was skeptical about what Cao Yang said; she felt that Cao Yang's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, simply talking nonsense.

Facing Jinwu Lanxin's questioning, Cao Yang couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

He thought to himself, "This woman is truly stubborn! No matter what I say, she refuses to believe it."

However, Cao Yang did not give up there; he rolled his eyes, and a plan came to mind.

He saw his lips curl slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then said to Jinwu Lanxin: "Hmm, since you don't believe what I say, then I will take you to another place, and you will naturally believe it then."

Cao Yang actually already had a plan in his heart; he knew of a place that could make Jinwu Lanxin believe his words.

This place was the Heavenly Emperor Hall, and in the Heavenly Emperor Hall, a person was being suppressed—Tian Qing.

Ever since Cao Yang suppressed Tian Qing in the Heavenly Emperor Hall, he unexpectedly discovered that Tian Qing's life had actually become happier.

The reason for this was that Cao Yang had not restricted Tian Qing's movements, allowing Tian Qing to freely utilize the mysterious power within the Heavenly Emperor Hall to Cultivate.

As a result, Tian Qing was like a fish in water in the Heavenly Emperor Hall, finding it so enjoyable that she forgot about returning.

Cao Yang thought, if he let Jinwu Lanxin go and see Tian Qing, and let Tian Qing prove to her that the time he took to break through to the Chaos Domain Lord Realm was indeed very short, surely Tian Qing wouldn't refuse?

After all, who would be willing to give up the opportunity to continue Cultivating in such a precious place as the Heavenly Emperor Hall?

Before the words died away, a flash of blue light passed, and Cao Yang and Jinwu Lanxin appeared instantly in an Empress Palace where Tian Qing was Cultivating in the Heavenly Emperor Hall, as if teleporting.

This Empress Palace was magnificently decorated, with countless brilliant gems embedded in the surrounding walls, emitting a soft light.

The floor was covered with a thick, plush carpet; walking on it felt like stepping on clouds. In the center of the room was a huge jade bed, covered with brocade bedding, looking very comfortable.

When she entered before, Tian Qing had happened to walk into this Empress Palace, so it became her Immortal Cave for Cultivation.

Tian Qing was dressed in a light cyan dress, her figure graceful, her face stunningly beautiful, like a Fairy descending to earth.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, gently brushing against her fair skin, making her appear even more elegant and refined.

Seeing Cao Yang appear with a strange woman, Tian Qing felt slightly surprised, but she did not show it.

She slowly opened her eyes, stepped off the jade bed, and her gaze fell upon Cao Yang.

"Young Master Cao, this place of yours is truly nice," Tian Qing's lips curled slightly, revealing a trace of a smile, "Now if you want me to leave, I'm actually a little reluctant to do so."

Seeing this, Cao Yang was delighted and hurriedly said: "Miss Tian Qing, you flatter me. This is just a place I usually use to Cultivate. However, the power here is indeed much richer than the outside world, and the speed of Cultivation can be much faster."

Speaking of which, Cao Yang paused for a moment and then continued: "I wonder how Miss Tian Qing has considered it? Are you willing to be my Dao Companion?"

Just as Cao Yang's voice fell, Jinwu Lanxin, who was on the side, suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Cao Yang in astonishment, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

"What? You imprisoned her here? And you still want to force her to be your Dao Companion? You are too despicable!" Jinwu Lanxin rebuked angrily.

In the Chaos, experts all have their own principles and dignity; such acts of imprisoning others and forcing others are undoubtedly a serious trampling on the dignity of experts.

Ordinary Chaos Domain Lord Realm experts would disdain to take action against creatures with lower cultivation bases than themselves, unless the other party had a precious treasure they needed, and only for the treasure might they lower themselves to take action against the weak.

"Am I not asking for Miss Tian Qing's opinion?" Cao Yang said with a helpless expression, "Besides, Miss Tian Qing just said it herself, even if I wanted her to leave now, she wouldn't want to go!" As he spoke, he waved his hands helplessly, seemingly laughing and crying at Jinwu Lanxin's reaction.

Jinwu Lanxin widened her eyes, looking at the woman called Tian Qing. She saw a layer of mysterious power surrounding Tian Qing, and these powers were continuously pouring into her body, as if there were no end.

And Tian Qing's cultivation base was also constantly rising at an extremely slow but visible speed.

Seeing this, the worry in Jinwu Lanxin's heart eased slightly.

She thought to herself: "Since these mysterious powers haven't caused any harm to Tian Qing, maybe they won't have much impact on me either?" Thinking of this, she finally made up her mind and took the initiative to remove the power she was using to block these mysterious forces from entering her body.

The moment Jinwu Lanxin removed the blockage, that mysterious power, like a flood breaking a dam, rushed into her body violently.

Jinwu Lanxin only felt a powerful energy raging in her body, and her Chaos body was even aching slightly from the impact of this power.

However, the pain brought by this power did not last long.

Soon, Jinwu Lanxin felt the benefits brought by this mysterious power—her cultivation base was actually increasing at an astonishing speed!

"This... what a powerful force!" Jinwu Lanxin said in shock, "The Rank of this power must be much higher than Chaos Power!" She widened her eyes, looking at her own body in disbelief, feeling the rapid growth of her cultivation base.

Just the small portion of mysterious power that had entered her body and transformed into cultivation base was already equivalent to the results of her own hard work for a long time.

Moreover, Jinwu Lanxin also felt that the cultivation base transformed from this mysterious power seemed even purer and more powerful than what she had obtained from her own Cultivation.
