377: Chapter 377 Don't be too happy yet, she might have a crush on you.

She suddenly lifted her previously dejected face, looking straight at Jinwu Lanxin, her eyes revealing a glimmer of hope, like faint starlight in the night sky.

Jinwu Lanxin clearly had not expected Daoist Venerable Chuyin to make this request so directly; she was slightly stunned, then a faint smile appeared on her lips as she said:

"Oh, you want to leave here? Then what about your race? I see that there doesn't seem to be a Peak Source Emperor in your race."

Jinwu Lanxin's words carried a hint of teasing, but at the same time, a trace of pity was revealed in her heart.

She thought to herself that this little girl, Chuyin, was quite interesting to make such a request at such a time.

However, she had no intention of letting this opportunity slip by easily; after all, she still wanted to teach that lecher a harsh lesson.

Hearing this, Daoist Venerable Chuyin's face instantly turned pale as paper. She bit her lip, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, no sound came out.

Seeing this, a trace of pity arose in Jinwu Lanxin's heart, but it was quickly suppressed.

She thought to herself, this was all that lecher's own doing, what did it have to do with her?

"If Senior can help Chuyin this one time, Chuyin will be endlessly grateful and will definitely repay Senior in the future!" Daoist Venerable Chuyin took a deep breath, steadied herself, and summoned the courage to say it again.

Her voice trembled slightly; after all, this was her last hope. She knew she had to leave this cage; what she craved was freedom, not being imprisoned here.

At this moment, Daoist Venerable Chuyin was convinced of this Senior's identity.

The other party came from the Chaos outside; this was beyond doubt.

Moreover, being able to see at a glance that she was the only Heaven-Grade Daoist Venerable in the Human Race meant the other party's strength was extremely powerful, enough to cover the entire Universe where the Human Race resided with Divine Sense.

Such an expert was definitely not comparable to an ordinary Heaven-Grade Daoist Venerable. Because although a Heaven-Grade Daoist Venerable's Divine Sense was strong, it could not cover the entire Universe of the Human Race, and thus could not discover the Human Race's hidden details and trump cards.

Daoist Venerable Chuyin thought to herself that this Senior's strength had likely, as she had said before, surpassed the category of Heaven-Grade Daoist Venerable and reached a very high level.

"As for my race, before I leave, I will leave behind some measures to protect the race and ensure they are not wiped out." Daoist Venerable Chuyin paused slightly and continued.

She let out a sigh of relief inwardly. It seemed that although the other party was terrifyingly powerful, she did not seem to have detected the Human Race's Foundation—the Cang Dao Dark Formation.

This was Daoist Venerable Chuyin's final trump card and the key to the Human Race's survival in this Universe.

Jinwu Lanxin was full of curiosity and decided to release her Divine Sense again to carefully check the Universe where the woman's race resided. She wanted to figure out what the measures mentioned were.

When her Divine Sense pierced through layers of space and finally arrived at that Universe, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Not bad! Your Human Race really has guts to actually use the 'Origin' of Source Realm experts to form a Universe Formation."

Although this hidden Universe Formation looked a bit rough, the power it contained could not be underestimated. Jinwu Lanxin could feel that this Formation could indeed withstand the attacks of a Peak Source Emperor.

She had a bit more admiration for the Human Race here.

One had to know that extracting the Origin power of a Source Realm expert was no small matter; it would cause serious damage to the expert's own Foundation. Therefore, in general, no expert would be willing to do so.

However, the quality level of the Origin power used in this Formation before her eyes was not very high. Jinwu Lanxin saw at a glance that this Origin power clearly came from those Cultivators whose potential was exhausted and who could not break through to the Source Emperor Realm.

Even so, wanting to successfully use this Origin power to form such a large-scale Formation was definitely not to be underestimated.

One had to know that these Source Realm experts who had their Origin power extracted would forever lose the possibility of reaching the Realm they possessed in their previous life.

In other words, to form this Formation, they had paid an extremely huge price, one could even say they sacrificed their future development prospects.

After all, for any Cultivator, improving their own Realm was a crucial matter.

And now, these Source Realm experts were willing to give up this important thing, which showed how firm their determination to form this Formation was.

Without sufficient guts and courage, it was impossible to make the determination to extract part of one's own Origin power.

Seeing this, Daoist Venerable Chuyin quickly bowed and said: "Senior is too kind. My Human Race was born relatively late, and the Realms of the people in the race are generally not very high."

"Although this Junior is fortunate enough to become a Heaven-Grade Daoist Venerable, barely ranking among the great races of the Universe, our overall strength as a Human Race is still relatively weak."

"In this situation, we have to prepare for a rainy day and take some extra precautions just in case."

Her tone was very humble, revealing respect for the Senior.

"By the way, that lecher is of the Human Race!" Jinwu Lanxin suddenly seemed to remember something important, looked at Daoist Venerable Chuyin with full suspicion, and questioned, "Didn't he give your Human Race any special care?"

Hearing this, Daoist Venerable Chuyin felt a shock in her heart. She widened her eyes, looked at Jinwu Lanxin in disbelief, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Senior, are you saying the master of this Inner Universe is of the Human Race?"

Jinwu Lanxin nodded and answered affirmatively: "That's right! That lecher is of your Human Race."

A look of unconcealable excitement suddenly appeared on Daoist Venerable Chuyin's face. She never expected that the master of the Cosmic Sea they were in was also of the Human Race!

This was truly too unexpected!

However, just as Daoist Venerable Chuyin was excited, Jinwu Lanxin seemed to suddenly realize something. Her brows furrowed slightly, she looked at Daoist Venerable Chuyin suspiciously, and asked: "That's not right, could the Chaos Fortune in your body be special care from that lecher?"

Hearing this, Daoist Venerable Chuyin's expression changed slightly. She thought to herself: "Could it really be like this? But I have never met that lecher, why would he specially take care of me?"

Jinwu Lanxin used her Divine Sense like a searchlight, slowly sweeping across the Universe where the Human Race resided. This time, she decided to look more carefully and not miss any details.

Daoist Venerable Chuyin stood aside and whispered to herself: "Could that mysterious Luck in my body really have been specially bestowed upon me by the master of this Inner Universe?" She muttered to herself, as if trying to find some answers from her experiences over the years.

Recalling that night ten thousand years ago, Daoist Venerable Chuyin still remembered it vividly.

At that time, she was in secluded cultivation within the Human Race's Heavenly Venerable Hall when suddenly, a mysterious power emerged from nowhere, like a ghost, and silently entered her body.

What exactly was this mysterious power? Daoist Venerable Chuyin knew nothing about it.

It was only until just now that she learned from the mouth of the Senior before her that this seemed to be something called Chaos Fortune.

Since that mysterious Luck entered her body, Daoist Venerable Chuyin's true spirit had been closely linked to it, as if the two had merged into one.

Moreover, since then, she had found that her cultivation base growth rate had significantly accelerated.

Although she had not yet broken through the Heaven-Grade Daoist Venerable Realm, her cultivation base had improved too much.

Daoist Venerable Chuyin believed that in this Inner Universe, there were probably not many Heaven-Grade Daoist Venerables who could defeat her in a one-on-one fight.

Jinwu Lanxin completely ignored this little girl Chuyin; all her attention was focused on her Divine Sense exploration.

Time ticked by, and after three full minutes, a smile finally appeared on Jinwu Lanxin's face.

"Found it!" she shouted excitedly, her voice revealing uncontrollable joy.

Seeing this, Daoist Venerable Chuyin hurriedly leaned forward and asked curiously: "Senior, what did you find?"

Jinwu Lanxin answered proudly: "That lecher is really generous! He actually used a chaos tool sword to guard your Human Race's Luck!"

Hearing this, Daoist Venerable Chuyin widened her eyes in astonishment.

"A chaos tool sword?" she exclaimed, "That sounds like an extremely precious treasure!"

Jinwu Lanxin nodded and continued: "That's right, the quality of this chaos tool sword is quite high, and the power it contains is also very strong. Using such a sword to guard the Human Race's Luck shows how much this Cao Yang values your Human Race."

Daoist Venerable Chuyin sighed inwardly, not expecting that this Universe Master named Cao Yang would be so generous to place such a precious treasure here.

Jinwu Lanxin continued: "However, this chaos tool sword was hidden very cleverly. If I hadn't investigated carefully, I might not have discovered its existence."

She expressed admiration for Cao Yang's sword-hiding method, while also feeling a bit proud of being able to see through this concealment.

"Senior, what Rank of treasure is a chaos tool sword in the Chaos, and how precious is it?" Daoist Venerable Chuyin asked with anticipation, her voice revealing uncontrollable excitement.

Daoist Venerable Chuyin thought to herself that this Universe Master actually favored their Human Race so specially, which was truly unexpected.

Moreover, listening to this Senior's tone, it seemed that even greater care had been given to the Human Race.

Jinwu Lanxin looked at the woman named Chuyin before her, seeing the curiosity shining in her eyes.

She smiled slightly and explained: "Chuyin, let me tell you. In the outside Chaos, although a chaos tool is classified as a chaos level treasure, its Rank is the lowest. However, even so, a chaos tool is still an extremely precious existence."

Jinwu Lanxin paused and continued: "You must know that among a hundred Chaos Realm experts, not one might possess a chaos tool. Therefore, one can say that the preciousness of a chaos tool far exceeds that of a Chaos Realm expert."

Jinwu Lanxin said while secretly sizing up Chuyin.

She thought to herself that this woman's Aptitude and looks were indeed quite good, but in the outside Chaos World, such women were not rare.

So, for what reason would that lecher be willing to bestow a chaos tool sword to suppress the town, and even share the rare Chaos Fortune within the chaos tool with her?

Was it because the other party was of the Human Race that he specially cared for her?

Or did he want to take her as his Dao Companion, so it was considered early cultivation of his Dao Companion?

"This... is it that precious?" Daoist Venerable Chuyin was full of astonishment, her heart filled with surprise and doubt.

She had never thought that the master of this Inner Universe would be so generous to give their Human Race such precious things. This was simply beyond her imagination!

However, when she thought that the other party was also of the Human Race, her doubts lessened slightly.

After all, taking care of one's own race was a matter of course.

A joyful smile gradually appeared on Daoist Venerable Chuyin's face, and she couldn't help but feel fortunate and happy that she and the Human Race could receive such treatment.

Just then, Jinwu Lanxin suddenly reminded: "Little girl Chuyin, don't be too happy too soon!"

Hearing this, Daoist Venerable Chuyin looked up at the Senior before her, seeing her smiling with a joyful expression.

Jinwu Lanxin continued: "Let me tell you, that Cao Yang is not a good person. He is a notorious lecher with many Dao Companions! Maybe he just took a fancy to you, little girl, which is why he specially took care of you!"

Hearing what Jinwu Lanxin said, the joy that had been overflowing on Daoist Venerable Chuyin's face instantly froze, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"No way? Senior, although that Senior is of the Human Race, he is the Master of the Universe after all, powerful and profound in Realm, as distant as the stars above the Nine Heavens. This Junior is just an insignificant member of the masses, like a candle in the wind, with ordinary appearance; how could I possibly catch his Dharma Eye?" Daoist Venerable Chuyin's voice revealed a trace of disbelief and self-deprecation.

Daoist Venerable Chuyin smiled slightly, seemingly wanting to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, and then explained: "Senior, you might have misunderstood. That Senior's care for this Junior might just be out of kindness to the Human Race, or for some other reason, and definitely not because he has any special thoughts about this Junior."

However, Jinwu Lanxin did not think so. She raised the corners of her mouth, showing a cunning smile, and said: "Hmph, little girl Chuyin, don't be too humble. In my opinion, that Cao Yang has taken a fancy to you, you just haven't realized it yet."

Jinwu Lanxin's words were like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the haze in Daoist Venerable Chuyin's heart, making her feel a bit flustered. She hurriedly waved her hand and said: "This... how is this possible? Senior, please don't joke."

Seeing this, the smile on Jinwu Lanxin's face became even brighter, as if she had already seen an interesting farce unfolding. She continued: "I am not joking, little girl Chuyin. I see that Cao Yang treats you quite well, and he even specially cared for the Human Race. Do you still not understand the deep meaning behind this?"

Daoist Venerable Chuyin's heart became increasingly conflicted. She couldn't help but start thinking about Jinwu Lanxin's words.

Indeed, that Senior had special care for both the Human Race and herself, which made her feel flattered. But at the same time, she also knew deeply that the gap between herself and that Senior was like the difference between clouds and mud, so how could she dare to have any extravagant thoughts?

"This... if that Senior really has taken a fancy to this Junior, even if this Junior refuses, I'm afraid it will be of no use. Moreover, the other party has specially cared for the Human Race and me; if this Junior refuses directly, wouldn't it seem a bit ungrateful?" Daoist Venerable Chuyin hesitated for a moment, but finally voiced her concerns.

She sighed inwardly, thinking: Even an expert like you was caught, if he really has taken a fancy to me, how could I escape his palm?
