How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 831 - 826 Clues About Origins

The three of Xiao Yun, carrying a massive Black Toad Fish, walked a certain distance and arrived in an ancient forest.

Mist swirled within, enveloping them so that they couldn’t see their own hands.

Yet the five of them walked with ease, quickly passing through the mist to reach a peaceful village, where small bridges stood over flowing streams, and cooking smoke curled up into the air.

Inside the belly of the Black Toad Fish, Chen Yu restrained his aura, meditating peacefully, completely ignoring everything else.

So much so, that he remained unaware when the Black Toad Fish was captured and killed.

Until a certain moment.

The half-piece of Jade Pendant worn by Chen Yu suddenly flickered with a faint light. A pure, flawless brilliance surged into Chen Yu’s body, calming his spirit and cleansing his soul, leaving him in a state of clarity.

"Hmm?"

Chen Yu was startled awake by this anomaly and checked himself over.

The mysterious Jade Pendant was reacting again!

This scene made Chen Yu’s face show a slight surprise, and his heart surged with waves of emotion.

This enigmatic half of a Jade Pendant is a clue to his lineage.

To date, the mysterious Jade Pendant had reacted twice, the first time being when he was about to leave the Great Yu Realm.

At that time, he had missed this clue.

He didn’t expect that now, the mysterious Jade Pendant would react once more.

This made Chen Yu take it seriously immediately.

"Where am I now?"

Chen Yu’s Spiritual Sense extended outward.

He was slightly stunned that the Black Toad Fish was dead, and now he was being carried into a village by three young people.

"Could it be that the sudden reaction of the Jade Pendant is somehow related to this village?"

Chen Yu’s heart was filled with doubt.

He didn’t know much about his lineage.

But according to various clues, his biological parents were definitely not ordinary people, and Chen Yu’s true identity must be extraordinary as well.

Yet the reaction of the Jade Pendant pointed to this small village... which surprised him.

"This village is not simple."

After a brief observation, Chen Yu thought to himself.

Judging from these three youths carrying the Black Toad Fish, they were exceptionally gifted and possessed high cultivation, with the two young men in their twenties already reaching the Guiyuan Realm.

People in an ordinary village wouldn’t have such talent and strength.

Even in the Beishui Yang Family where he once stayed, the young people there were slightly inferior to these three.

Moreover, Chen Yu faintly sensed a lot of Bloodline Power from these people.

While Chen Yu pondered, the three of Xiao Yun entered the village.

Their return drew greetings from many villagers, many of whom saw their prize and ran over, amazed.

"Xiao Yong, Xiao Guang, you two actually managed to capture a Black Toad Fish this time. Although the ancient beast’s flesh isn’t much, it’s very effective, strengthening the body, healing injuries, and dispelling hidden ailments within the body."

A burly man came over, smiling and nodding.

Perhaps it was because the other was not very alert, or perhaps Chen Yu was hiding well.

No one realized that there was a person inside the belly of the Black Toad Fish.

"If I run out now, I might scare these people."

Chen Yu thought to himself, realizing that doing so would not be conducive to his staying in the village to investigate clues.

"Uncle Niu, I caught it myself."

Xiao Yun immediately shouted with a pout.

"Hahaha..."

A round of laughter erupted around them.

It was clear that no one believed it was caught by Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun, indignantly, stormed off to her grandfather’s house.

Inside a simple wooden house, a hunched old man with white hair was making tea.

When the white-haired elder saw the Black Toad Fish, his gentle gaze suddenly became stern, "You two took Xiao Yun to the Heavenly Flow River?"

The two young men shrank back, clicking their tongues quietly; worthy of being the village chief, judging that the three had gone to the Heavenly Flow River just by seeing the Black Toad Fish.

The village chief had often reminded them not to venture too far, and at this moment, the two were like mice meeting a cat, not daring to say a word.

"Grandpa, I made them take me there. If we hadn’t gone to the Heavenly Flow River, I wouldn’t have been able to catch such an ancient beast as the Black Toad Fish."

Xiao Yun immediately pleaded for the two young men, diverting the topic and boasting with pride.

"Alas..."

The white-haired elder looked at his granddaughter and sighed helplessly, turning his gaze back to the Black Toad Fish.

It was indeed difficult for him to believe that his granddaughter could catch such a fierce ancient beast, which should be the trophy of Xiao Guang and Xiao Yong.

Yet suddenly, the white-haired elder’s eyes shone with brilliance, an oppressive aura faintly emanated.

Just a wisp of it made the three of Xiao Yun’s faces change dramatically, feeling incredibly oppressed.

Whoosh!

The white-haired elder waved a single hand, and a gleaming white blade, smooth as jade, shot forth.

Thud!

The belly of the Black Toad Fish was sliced open, and amidst the trickling blood, a man rolled out—Chen Yu himself.

"Ah, there’s a person!"

Xiao Yun screamed immediately.

The other two young men were also shocked.

There was actually a person in the belly of the Black Toad Fish, and they hadn’t realized it at all before.

"Cough, cough, when passing by a large river, I was swallowed by the Black Toad Fish. Thank you, you three, and senior, for saving me!"

Chen Yu coughed and thanked weakly.

He looked at the elderly man in front of him, feeling a tinge of awe in his heart.

Previously, Chen Yu hadn’t felt anything unusual, but just now, the aura that emanated from this elder’s body made him realize that the elder’s cultivation was extremely high, at least at the peak of the Late Sky Sea Realm or even the Half-step Condensing Star Realm.

Chen Yu knew that he would be discovered sooner or later, so he had already thought of an explanation, otherwise jumping out of the belly of the Black Toad Fish would seem too bizarre.

"Is that so? Grandpa, I not only hunted the Black Toad Fish but also saved his life."

Xiao Yun said excitedly, not expecting that for her first fishing trip, she not only got her catch but also saved someone.

"Is that the case?"

The two young men were half-believing, half-doubting.

However, the elder with gray hair had a slightly tense face, without the slightest relaxation, scrutinizing Chen Yu closely.

Although Chen Yu was injured all over, it was obvious, the injuries weren’t caused by the Black Toad Fish.

That is to say, this person in front of them got injured for some other reason and was then swallowed by the Black Toad Fish, ending up here.

Chen Yu’s words evidently concealed the first part, but he wasn’t exactly lying.

"No matter, young hero, you look extraordinary; surely you are a disciple from a prestigious family or sect. Our village is humble and crude, and we fear we might not be able to treat you properly."

The elderly man’s expression softened as he spoke slowly, issuing a subtle eviction order.

No matter if this person was accidentally swallowed by the Black Toad Fish and ended up here by coincidence, or if it was all planned by him, as long as they drove him away, it would be fine.

In the past, Chen Yu would have left immediately without a second word.

But now, he still needed to investigate the secrets of his origin, so how could he leave?

"Grandpa, look at how badly hurt he is, let him recover before he leaves."

Xiao Yun looked at the severely injured Chen Yu with reluctance and added sympathetically.

Chen Yu expressed gratitude towards the little girl and cooperated by showing a pained expression as if he were on the verge of death.

Xiao Yun’s innocent nature made her even more sympathetic, and since she was the one who brought him back, what if such severely injured Chen Yu left and died?

"Senior, I am terribly wounded, may I stay here for a while? Once my injuries heal, I promise not to disturb anyone."

Chen Yu took the initiative to speak up.

By any means, he had to stay in this place for now.

In the end, under the coordination of Chen Yu and Xiao Yun, the elder reluctantly nodded.

"Someone, arrange a room for this guest."

The elder called out loudly, and soon two strong men came in from outside, momentarily stunned when they saw Chen Yu.

It seemed there was no such person in the village, and this person appeared wounded and filthy like a beggar; how did he get in? The whole village was under the protection of an Array.

Following the village chief’s orders, they didn’t ask much, supporting Chen Yu as they left.

Xiao Yun also followed, seeming concerned as Chen Yu was someone she saved.

"You two, wait."

The elder suddenly stopped Xiao Guang and Xiao Yong, who were about to leave.

"Village Chief, is there anything else?"

The two showed fear, wondering if they would be punished for taking Xiao Yun to the Heavenly Flow River.

"From today on, you two stay by Xiao Yun’s side and keep an eye on that outsider."

The elder squinted slightly, instructing them.

"He’s just an ordinary person, and he’s so badly injured, there’s probably no need to be so cautious, right?"

Xiao Guang asked softly.

"Hmph, ordinary person..."

The elder said with a hint of meaning.

These two young men’s cultivation was at the Early Guiyuan Realm, and with Chen Yu concealing his aura, it was normal for them not to see through it.

But the elder’s cultivation was not simple, and naturally, he could see Chen Yu’s real cultivation, which was shockingly at the Sky Sea Middle Stage.

To have such cultivation at such a young age, how could he be an ordinary person?

...

After Chen Yu was arranged in a room, Xiao Yun invited the village’s pharmacist to treat his injuries.

In actuality, Chen Yu’s injuries had already healed six to seventy percent due to his Initial Undying Body’s regenerative powers.

"This village is not simple; the pharmacist will surely see that my injuries aren’t severe."

Chen Yu sighed; having a strong regenerative ability seemed occasionally inconvenient.

Helplessly, he suppressed the power of his heart and physique, and from the pile of junk in his storage bag, he found some poison pills and swallowed them in one go.

A while ago, when he was on the battlefield, he killed many enemies, gaining a lot of spoils. In the storage spaces of those foreign races and Blood Races, there were various poison pills and poisons.

When Xiao Yun brought a pharmacist over, they found Chen Yu looking ghastly green, appearing even more miserable and frightening, which immediately scared them.

"He is afflicted by various severe toxins penetrating his body and internal organs; it is fortunate he hasn’t died."

The pharmacist exclaimed in awe.

Chen Yu nodded slightly, satisfied with this outcome, feeling that he could linger in this village for quite some time.

"Luckily, I pleaded with my grandpa; otherwise, if you left the village, you would surely die."

Xiao Yun felt fortunate, thinking she had done another good deed, and raised her chin.

However, looking at Chen Yu, she again displayed a look of pity and compassion.

"Thank you, young lady, for saving my life."

Chen Yu smiled awkwardly.

Being praised by Chen Yu made Xiao Yun a little bashful, her cheeks slightly red.

Seizing the moment, Chen Yu asked about other things and learned that the little girl’s name was Meng Yun and her parents were no longer around, and her grandfather was the village chief of Meng Family Village.

"This village is serene and beautiful, a veritable paradise."

Chen Yu praised Meng Family Village, expressing his admiration and desire for the village, endearing himself to Xiao Yun.

"Is that so? Hehe, my grandpa said they happened to pass by here forty years ago and settled down."

Xiao Yun said with a smile.

"Forty years ago?"

It seemed Chen Yu suddenly caught onto something, his eyes flashing.

He was just about forty-one or forty-two years old, and the village was established forty years ago; the timing was surprisingly coincidental, wasn’t it?
