163: Chapter 163 Yin Yang Mountain Closes, Each Has Their Own Path

Yinyang Mountain closed, and the countless people who had been comprehending the Dao there returned to their respective families to enter secluded cultivation.

As soon as Chen Xing came out, he was surrounded by numerous old monsters, who sized him up as if he were a test subject.

Han Lingxi appeared, directly pushed aside all the gods, and took her disciple back to the Tianyin Divine Realm.

“Good brother, we haven't even chatted yet!” Zhong Yang shouted toward the direction they were leaving.

“Is it that easy to chat?” The black-haired woman, Mo Xin, walked over slowly, the pitch-black outer space gradually being dyed red.

“What are you doing? Not cultivating? Don't you want to become an Immortal God?” Zhong Yang said with one hand on his hip and a bored expression.

“Hua Zizai only knows how to stay in seclusion and avoid people, while you do the exact opposite, running around to play. Why are the number one and number two in the world both such oddballs?” Mo Xin sneered.

“Huh? Oddballs? Are you even qualified to talk about us?” Zhong Yang had a strange expression.

“You crazy person who toys with the weak—besides provoking the strong and bullying the weak, you don't know how to do anything. I don't understand how someone as weird as you could be the number three in the world.” He pointed at Mo Xin with a provocative smile.

“This is the right of the strong. The strong stay strong, and the weak should be bullied. Isn't that natural?”

Mo Xin spread her hands, a playful look on her face, as if everything was perfectly logical.

Zhong Yang shook his head: “We are humans. It is precisely because we have moral concepts that we have reached today. Otherwise, according to your theory, you should have died as soon as you became an Ability User; you wouldn't have lived until now.”

Mo Xin would listen seriously to those stronger than herself, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

“Haha, think about it properly. I'm going to Cultivate now. Hua's hometown always has things I don't expect; I haven't finished exploring yet!”

Zhong Yang patted her shoulder, turned around, and disappeared.

“Where are you going?” Mo Xin asked.

“To the Lower Realm to take a look. Anyway, I'm not an Immortal God yet.” Zhong Yang's voice echoed in the Void Realm, but no person could be seen.

Mo Xin stood in the void, her face full of disappointment and a bit of dissatisfaction.

...

For a period after Yinyang Mountain closed, all the various forces in the Domain of God fell into an eerie silence.

The usually bustling arenas saw their numbers drop by more than half. All the geniuses who had gained something on Yinyang Mountain had gone into seclusion.

Shenwu Mountain, beneath the abyss.

This was once the place where an ancient Tyrant Body Major Achievement master attained the Dao. He had left behind secret inscriptions here, and one could even use certain means to manifest old scenes for observation.

Qin Feng's outstanding performance had earned him the appreciation of a high-ranking figure, who specially authorized him to come here for seclusion.

An ancient stone platform floated above a sea of magma, surrounded by nine towering stone pillars engraved with strange runes.

The stone platform had nine shackles. Qin Feng was tied up, bare-chested, sitting cross-legged in the center.

His body glowed with a faint blood-red light, and low dragon roars could be heard faintly.

“The Dragon Soul Origin has receded by another thirty percent. The Tyrant Body is still as domineering as ever.” Qin Feng muttered to himself, even as the shackles scorched his skin and flesh.

He looked back at the runes on the stone pillars and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

“Legend has it that the supreme powerhouse who achieved the Major Achievement Tyrant Body in the Immortal Realm could challenge a Main God with the power of a Great Heavenly God. How glorious must that have been?”

Thinking of this, Qin Feng became even more energized.

...

Star Tower.

This was a major non-Family-based power, similar to the Sword Tower and Yin Mansion, with seven Main Gods within its ranks.

Deep inside was a precious land that gathered countless Star Origins, making it the best cultivation place for Star-type Ability Users.

Su He sat on a gray planet. Looking up, she could see countless brilliant stars; there was simply no concept of night here.

Several celestial bodies floated around her—

Planets, stars, black holes, neutron stars, and three strange planets—those were her Dao.

“This time... it's ready!”

This was Su He's fourteenth time condensing a Perfect Seed. Those three strange planets actually represented the paths of the Physical Body, Magic Power, and Soul.

She confirmed that she was flawless before continuing with the next step of her cultivation—Spirit Seed Realm Great Perfection.

...

One of the Chu Family's ancestral lands, the Bone Burial Ground.

This was the seclusion place of a certain Chu Family ancestor; he was also the most powerful Old Ancestor besides the Main Gods.

Within the Bone Burial Ground, inside a dark, eerie forest.

It was filled with Death Qi, yet the vegetation grew lushly. However, it still couldn't hide that aura of death; no living person would choose to live here.

In the ancient forest, Chu Li stood before a stone platform. Opposite her sat a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.

This person was the Chu Family's strongest Immortal Heavenly God—Chu Wang. He possessed dual Lightning and Fire attributes and had long ago mastered the Nine-Colored Divine Lightning and Nine Heavenly Fires.

In his palm floated a clump of pitch-black flame. It looked like Yin Fire, but it wasn't.

The flame was eerily quiet, with no temperature, no light, and not even any fluctuations of aura. But Chu Li could feel that in the area covered by that flame, even space was slowly 'dying'.

“Take it.” Chu Wang spoke, his voice deep.

A great wind blew, making hair flutter and clothes rustle, but Chu Li quietly watched the dancing flame, her face showing no emotion.

The Fire of Death—this was a goal she had long held. This already belonged to the category of 'Heavenly Flame'.

If she obtained the finished Death Flame that the Old Ancestor had already painstakingly refined, the time saved would be more than just a few years.

“No.” In less than three seconds, Chu Li gave her answer.

Chu Wang looked at her without speaking.

The restricted area fell silent for a moment.

“Why?” he asked.

“Your fire is your Dao, not mine.” Chu Li shook her head slightly.

“You spent countless years to conquer the path of death. Now, every shred of its power is branded with your will. If I accept it, I will at most be a container; it will never truly belong to me.”

“You can find a way to remove my power and will and convert it into your own. It can still be used,” Chu Wang said calmly.

“I don't want to do that. Instead of that, it's better to do it myself.” Chu Li smiled faintly.

“I remember someone once told me a sentence. He said he only trusts himself.”

In her pitch-black eyes, a different kind of firelight flickered, as if it wanted to tear through the darkness.

“I am the same. I only trust myself. No matter how good something given by others is, it can never compare to what I refine with my own hands. Even if it takes ten years longer, I want to walk my own path.”

The restricted area fell into silence again, but this time, a gratified smile appeared on Chu Wang's face.

“Did you two sisters conspire together to each come and reject me once?” he laughed.

“Sister?” Chu Li was stunned.

“Two months ago, I gave Zhen'er the [Lightning of Death], and she rejected it just like you did.” Chu Wang stood up, sounding somewhat helpless.

“And it was the exact same rhetoric.” He paused, speaking in a slightly teasing tone.

“Fine then. After following that kid Chen Xing, every one of you has become so stubborn. What, are you afraid of being left behind by him and never being able to keep up for the rest of your lives?”

Hearing this, Chu Li smiled somewhat awkwardly.

“Never mind. It's a good thing that you have this will.” Chu Wang nodded slightly.
