379: Chapter 379 The Bird Wants to Soar in the Blue Sky
In the Heavenly Emperor Hall.
Cao Yang sat upright on the Heavenly Emperor throne, his gaze falling upon the woman standing in the hall, looking her up and down.
That's right, the first floor of the Wuji Tower inside the Heavenly Emperor Hall had changed drastically, turning into a magnificent hall. At its highest point sat an imposing main seat called the White Lord Wuji Dragon Throne.
The back of the White Lord Wuji Dragon Throne featured two white Dragon statues, made of a very special material; even Cao Yang didn't know what they were made of.
This was a change that occurred after Cao Yang reached the Chaos Realm, and the name Wuji Tower only appeared after he broke through the Realm.
"You are called Yu Chuyin?" Cao Yang's voice echoed in the spacious hall, carrying a hint of majesty.
Yu Chuyin bowed slightly and replied, "That is correct, Junior Yu Chuyin pays respects to Senior."
Cao Yang nodded, thinking to himself that half a month had passed in the Inner Universe, but only a few breaths of time had passed in the Chaos outside.
Tian Qing had already left; she went to look for other women.
At this moment, Cao Yang asked further, "Do you know why you were brought here by me?"
Yu Chuyin answered truthfully, "Junior was Cultivating in my own Heavenly Venerable Hall among the Human Race when I was suddenly teleported here. Junior does not know Senior's intentions."
After finishing his discussion of the Dao with Tian Qing, Cao Yang was in an exceptionally good mood. He couldn't wait to understand what Jinwu Lanxin had been doing during this time, so he immediately checked her trajectory.
As the information poured in, Jinwu Lanxin's various actions gradually emerged in Cao Yang's mind, including her interactions with others, her movements, and the problems she faced, among other things.
During this process, Cao Yang keenly noticed a figure who had close contact with Jinwu Lanxin—Yu Chuyin.
Inside his own Inner Universe, everything was as clear as the palm of his hand.
No subtle change could escape his perception; therefore, his understanding of Yu Chuyin grew deeper.
"Hmm, it has to do with Jinwu Lanxin." Cao Yang said softly, his voice revealing a hint of contemplation. Then, he raised his head, his gaze falling on Yu Chuyin, and he asked with a smile, "Then, do you know who I am now?"
Facing Cao Yang's inquiry, Yu Chuyin hesitated slightly.
She didn't know if her guess was correct, but under Cao Yang's gaze, she gathered her courage and replied, "Junior guesses, Senior must be the master of the Universe I am in, Senior Cao Yang, right?"
The corners of Cao Yang's mouth curled up, revealing a faint smile. He was satisfied with Yu Chuyin's answer. He slowly walked down the steps, came before Yu Chuyin, and said in a relaxed tone, "Correct, it is me."
Yu Chuyin watched Cao Yang walk closer step by step, and a sense of awe couldn't help but rise in her heart.
She didn't expect that she had actually guessed correctly; the mysterious figure before her was indeed the Dominator of this Universe—Cao Yang.
Cao Yang nodded slightly to show his agreement, then continued, "However, I truly did not expect that you all would give the Source Emperor, whose Luck had greatly increased, a brand-new Realm name."
Daoist Venerable Chuyin hurriedly explained, "Senior Cao, this was actually a long time ago. At that time, an outsider from the Human Race named Cheng Qiming came to my Human Race. He created this new naming method based on the Cultivation Technique Realm he practiced and combined it with our original Cultivation Technique Realm."
Daoist Venerable Chuyin's words revealed her respect and gratitude towards Cheng Qiming.
After all, this new Realm name had significant meaning for the Human Race.
Hearing Cao Yang admit that he was the Master of the Universe, Daoist Venerable Chuyin couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
However, she quickly restrained her emotions and rapidly regained her composure.
Seeing this, Cao Yang's mouth curled slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. He was satisfied with Daoist Venerable Chuyin's reaction, then continued, "Hmm, I understand."
Cao Yang certainly knew all of this.
Among the things related to Yu Chuyin, he had already viewed all the information and naturally knew about that Cheng Qiming.
He knew Cheng Qiming was a Great Emperor, but not a top-tier Great Emperor; just an ordinary Great Emperor.
"Thank you, Senior Cao, for your help to the Human Race and to Chuyin." Daoist Venerable Chuyin bowed to Cao Yang with a grateful face, her words sincere and her attitude very respectful.
Seeing this, Cao Yang waved his hand quickly and said, "No need for that. I am also a member of the Human Race; doing things for the Human Race is only right and proper. Besides, what I did was just a small effort for me, no need to take it to heart."
His tone was easygoing, making people feel cordial and natural. However, when he saw Yu Chuyin looking as if she wanted to say something, his heart stirred.
Cao Yang smiled and encouraged, "If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have many rules; you can speak freely."
Yu Chuyin hesitated for a moment, then finally gathered her courage and said, "Senior Cao, Chuyin knows that making this request is a bit excessive, but Chuyin still hopes Senior can give me a chance. I want to go out and see the Chaos World."
After speaking, she lowered her head slightly, appearing a bit embarrassed.
Cao Yang stared at Yu Chuyin, and after a moment of silence, he spoke slowly, "Hmm, I can agree to you, but..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yu Chuyin excitedly interrupted him: "But what? As long as Senior allows Chuyin to go out and see the outside world, Chuyin is willing to do anything!" Her eyes shone with anticipation, as if the whole world was unfolding before her.
"Don't be in such a hurry. I can agree to you, but do you know how dangerous the outside Chaos World is?"
Cao Yang said with a serious face, "Those who can walk in the Chaos are generally experts of the Chaos Realm, and there are quite a few Chaos Beasts in the Chaos with strength comparable to the Chaos Realm."
"These Chaos Beasts are extremely ferocious. Once an expert of the Chaos Realm breaks into their territory, the lightest consequence is sustaining minor injuries; if it's serious, they might even be heavily injured, affecting their future Cultivation."
Cao Yang smiled helplessly, shook his head, and continued to explain, "So, the outside Chaos World is definitely not as simple as you imagine. The degree of danger within is immeasurable."
After listening to Cao Yang's words, Yu Chuyin felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her heart; her original anticipation was instantly shattered.
She widened her eyes and asked in astonishment, "Is the outside Chaos World that dangerous? Senior Cao, are there no Source Emperors like me in the outside Chaos World? But Lan Xin promised before that she could take me away..."
A hint of disappointment and confusion revealed itself in Yu Chuyin's voice; she simply couldn't accept this cruel fact.
"However, it needs to be explained that I actually walked out of a Great Universe that was drifting in a corner of that vast, boundless, and chaotic Chaos World."
"On this long journey, I have already viewed many Chaos regions, and in these places, experts at the Source Emperor level are often easily torn apart by that violent Chaos Qi."
"Even if you possess the strength of the Pseudo-Chaos Realm, I am afraid it would be difficult for you to step out of this small corner of Chaos if you want to walk in this Chaos. After all, the scope of the Chaos is simply too vast."
"As for Jinwu Lanxin promising to take you away from here, as a member of the powerful Golden Crow Clan, perhaps she truly has her own unique methods."
"But in my opinion, she only promised to take you away from this place. As for whether your safety can still be guaranteed after reaching the Chaos outside, she did not explicitly state that she would look after you."
The corners of Cao Yang's mouth curled slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he continued to explain.
However, there was one point Cao Yang did not mention: he had not yet withdrawn the Luck he had imposed on Daoist Venerable Chuyin.
If he were to withdraw this Luck, the difficulty of Daoist Venerable Chuyin's survival in the Chaos would be even greater. After all, much of the Luck on Daoist Venerable Chuyin had been specially added by Cao Yang later.
"Is it really like this?" Upon hearing this, Daoist Venerable Chuyin couldn't help but feel a bit dejected. Her longing for the outside Chaos World grew even stronger, but at the same time, she realized the difficulties and obstacles within.
"However, I do have a few methods that can help you, but you need to pay some price." Cao Yang's mouth curled slightly, looking at the Yu Chuyin before him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. He thought to himself, this little girl is so eager for the outside Chaos World; she must be willing to pay any price to achieve her goal.
Upon hearing this, Yu Chuyin felt a surge of joy. She widened her eyes and asked eagerly, "Senior Cao, what methods?" A hint of excitement and anticipation revealed itself in her voice, as if a glimmer of dawn had suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Seeing this, Cao Yang said unhurriedly, "There are three methods. First, you can choose to ignore the danger and rush directly into the Chaos to venture. However, this Chaos World is exceptionally dangerous, and the violent Chaos Qi within can even devour a person's Soul. If you are not careful, you will perish in the Yellow Springs. In my opinion, you will likely die here within a hundred years."
Yu Chuyin's face turned pale instantly, and she couldn't help but gasp. Although this first method seemed simple and direct, the risks involved were staggering, and she didn't want to risk her own life.
Cao Yang seemed to have anticipated Yu Chuyin's reaction, and he continued, "Second, you can choose to become my Dao Companion. In this way, I will naturally protect your safety, ensuring you remain unharmed in the Chaos World. Wherever you want to go, I can take you there, and I can even help you Breakthrough to the Chaos Realm. This is a Realm that countless people dream of."
Yu Chuyin's brows furrowed slightly, feeling conflicted. Become Cao Yang's Dao Companion?
Although she had a good impression of Cao Yang in her heart—after all, Cao Yang had helped her and the Human Race—she had not known Cao Yang for long and didn't know much about him. To agree to him so easily was truly a bit inappropriate.
However, before Yu Chuyin could make a decision, Cao Yang threw out the third method: "Third, I can give you a Clone of my true spirit. This Clone of my true spirit possesses a portion of my strength, enough to protect you while you venture in the Chaos World for a period of time. However, once the time is up, you will be forcibly brought back, and at that time, you will still need to become my Dao Companion."
After speaking, Cao Yang stood quietly to the side, watching Yu Chuyin hesitate between these three methods, as if enjoying a wonderful play.
After a long while, Yu Chuyin finally asked, "Senior Cao, how long can your true spirit Clone protect me? And what kind of strength does it possess?"
Cao Yang smiled slightly and replied, "Hmm, my true spirit Clone possesses at least the strength of the High-level Chaos Domain Lord Realm. Of course, it is also possible for it to possess the strength of the Elementary or Intermediate Chaos Supreme Realm. However, as for how strong it specifically is, I am not too sure myself. After all, I am currently at the High-level Chaos Domain Lord Realm myself, but my strength is already considered invincible within the Chaos Supreme Realm. As for the time, it can protect you for at least one month. As for how long it can protect you, that depends on my mood."
After saying this, Cao Yang sat down leisurely, picked up a teacup, took a sip, and continued, "However, you can rest assured, as long as you are interesting, I will naturally try my best to extend the time to protect you."
After hearing this, Yu Chuyin felt slightly relieved and thanked him quickly, "Thank you, Senior Cao, for your fulfillment! Chuyin chooses the third method. After Chuyin fulfills the wish in her heart, she will definitely come back to be Senior's Dao Companion and serve by Senior's side."
In fact, Yu Chuyin already had a good impression of Cao Yang. After this exchange, she understood even more that Cao Yang was a person with principles and a bottom line, which made her favor for Cao Yang grow even more.
Because she knew very well what Cao Yang was calculating in his heart. In fact, Cao Yang had the full ability to take action against her forcibly, but with her current strength, facing a powerhouse like Cao Yang, she had absolutely no power to resist.
Of course, the generation of this thought was not only related to Yu Chuyin's own strength, but also closely related to her past experiences.
After all, she was someone who had walked all the way from a cruel environment of competing with the myriad races, and her understanding and comprehension of the strong were far deeper than ordinary people.
In her impression, those true powerhouses often had arrogant majesty. An easygoing powerhouse like Cao Yang was truly extremely rare.
Just at this moment, a crisp prompt from the System Loli suddenly came to Cao Yang's mind: "Beep, congratulations to the Host, Yu Chuyin's favorability towards you has reached 90. You have successfully obtained 5 hongmeng sign-in counts."
Immediately after, the System Loli's voice sounded again: "Beep, because Yu Chuyin possesses Acquired Chaos Qi, you will receive an additional 20 hongmeng sign-in counts."
Hearing this news, Cao Yang couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, feeling a bit regretful.
He thought to himself, if he had known that this girl would fall in love with him so easily, he might have considered raising her cultivation base to the Chaos Realm directly. Perhaps that way, he could have obtained even more hongmeng sign-in counts.
"Very well, I will have the true spirit Clone take you out now." Cao Yang nodded and said.
As soon as Cao Yang's words fell, a translucent person exactly like Cao Yang slowly walked out from Cao Yang's body.
However, its eyes were clearly dull, obviously devoid of any intelligence.
