Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 370 - 310: The Collapse of Rituals and Music! Are the Upper Echelons This Wild?
Of course, Wu Luo True Monarch was just thinking about it, she wouldn’t actually have someone sink Su Yuan into the sea.
Otherwise, her daughter and her disciple would both come after her with a vengeance.
She could only let this little rascal continue being arrogant.
After publicly considering Chen Nuoyi a direct disciple, Wu Luo True Monarch regained her previous composure and elegance, ignoring the younger generation and continuing to chat with the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from Evil Extermination University.
As the important figures walked further away, the grand welcome ceremony came to an end.
Qi Hanyan cautiously approached Su Yuan and asked nervously:
"Su Yuan, I didn’t explain my family’s situation to you beforehand."
"I’m sorry, I didn’t think my mom would treat you like that... you won’t blame me or distance yourself from me because of this, right?"
Su Yuan turned his head and looked at the pink-haired girl’s anxious expression, a suspicion forming in his heart.
Qi Hanyan’s earlier ’squawk’ might not have been excitement at seeing her mother.
But rather worrying that her mother’s arrival would lead to her identity being exposed.
One could say that even second-generation immortals have their own troubles, especially top-tier ones like Qi Hanyan.
Once her identity is exposed, friendships with peers might no longer be as simple.
This could be seen from the somewhat reverent attitude with which some of the seed class students viewed Qi Hanyan.
It felt like "I wanted to interact with you as a normal person, but it led to estrangement, now I’m laying it out, I’m a billionaire".
As for whether Su Yuan would be intimidated by Qi Hanyan’s background?
Before he met Qi Hanyan, maybe he would have been.
But now the situation was set, and what would be the point in pretending to be well-behaved?
"Thud—"
Along with a crisp knocking on the head, Qi Hanyan exclaimed "ouch", immediately covering her head with watery eyes and squatting defensively.
"Stop thinking about those things. Your mom came, and you still have to get to work."
Su Yuan said sternly:
"I know you too well. Now you look all pitiful, hating being exposed, but when it’s time to work, you’ll probably use your mom to pressure me."
"I’m telling you, don’t even think about it with your dad either, it won’t work on me!"
The pink-haired girl squatting and rubbing her head wasn’t angry at his words, but instead, she laughed happily.
That’s right... this feels right!
He’s still the same Su Yuan, not changed in the slightest!
Though a little change wouldn’t hurt... like not working overtime.
But after saying the comforting words, due to previous experiences, Su Yuan cautiously asked:
"Who’s your dad? What’s his temperament like, does he know about us?"
Logically, anyone who could be Wu Luo True Monarch’s partner wouldn’t be weaker than the True Monarch herself.
Getting away from Wu Luo True Monarch was due to Qi Hanyan and Chen Nuoyi pleading on his behalf. He didn’t want to be caught by another Nascent Soul Peak powerhouse.
In response, Qi Hanyan’s gray eyes blinked, and her cute face turned serious.
The seriousness made her lose the earlier silly vibe, presenting an elegant and mature demeanor.
"Su Yuan, what I’m about to tell you, you mustn’t tell anyone."
The pink-haired girl whispered to Su Yuan using her Spiritual Power.
Su Yuan: "...Is it that mysterious?"
Qi Hanyan took a deep breath and mysteriously said:
"Actually, I don’t have a dad."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan’s mind immediately conjured up a melodramatic scene of a man abandoning his wife and daughter.
But on second thought, it didn’t seem right to Su Yuan.
Given Wu Luo True Monarch’s status, if anyone dared to be irresponsible to her, she could command an army from a hundred worlds to crush the man to dust.
Even if he hid to the edge of the universe, it would be of no use.
However, reality was far beyond Su Yuan’s imagination.
Then, Qi Hanyan solemnly transmitted her voice:
"When I was young and noticed that other kids had both parents, I asked my mom who my dad was."
"At first, my mom avoided the topic, but when she couldn’t evade my persistence, she finally told me the truth."
"It turns out that I am the crystallization of my mom and the Star River Celestial Monarch, conceived from the essence of their lives."
Su Yuan fell completely silent.
Good grief, so you’re the daughter of the Divinity Transformation Stage! No wonder you have a Colorful Talent that even the usual Saintess doesn’t possess.
Could it be that a Colorful Talent is a standard for Divine Son Level?
If I remember correctly, the Star River Celestial Monarch is female, right?
Can women with women have children? Do the upper echelons of the Federation play this extravagantly?
If Old Feng Wuya were here, he might exclaim that morality has collapsed and demons are rampant on earth.
While he was internally voicing all sorts of criticisms, Su Yuan suddenly realized—could it be that the Star River Celestial Monarch might seek him out one day?
He could barely handle one True Monarch, and if one of the Federation’s ten Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs came knocking, there’d be no way to survive.
Fortunately, Qi Hanyan proactively explained to Su Yuan:
"You don’t need to worry about the Star River Celestial Monarch causing trouble for you. To be honest, I’ve lived for nearly twenty years and have never met that great figure."
"According to my mom, the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs are all engaged in very important tasks and can’t extricate themselves easily at the moment."
Only then did Su Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
That’s good to know, there’s no need to hold back when pressuring Qi Hanyan now.
After finishing with Qi Hanyan, Su Yuan turned to look at Chen Nuoyi, who stood quietly waiting a short distance away.
He walked over quickly and half-jokingly said:
"I’ve always felt that the Celestial Shattering Star Sword from the Sword Dao Department didn’t suit you."
"Now that Wu Luo True Monarch plans to guide you on the path of Divinity Transformation, she’ll probably teach you some Divinity Transformation Inheritance more suited to you."
"Nuoyi, the future of the Primordial Sect rests on you."
Chen Nuoyi smiled faintly, her expression still carrying a trace of bewilderment.
Clearly, she hadn’t fully recovered from the massive upheaval earlier.
Although Chen Nuoyi was stable by nature, today’s encounter with a top-level Nascent Soul True Monarch’s invitation unsettled her Dao Heart.
Not to mention that this apprenticeship was related to the Chen Family’s generations-long Dragon Blood Curse, adding a heavy sense of mission to Chen Nuoyi.
Because of this, she felt uneasy, unsure if she could fulfill the ancestor’s wish.
Su Yuan didn’t know how to comfort her.
At that moment, his phone vibrated slightly.
He took it out to see a message from Taibai Phecda, asking him and Chen Nuoyi to come over.
It seemed like the Evil Extermination University’s higher-ups had finished entertaining Wu Luo True Monarch and then adjourned the meeting.
Hmph! That Old Deng from Taibai, not only did he not help me when I was embarrassed earlier, he kept mocking me. I have to find a way to make him lose a lot of gold coins later!
And you, Old Deng from Taibai, you’re kind of out of your depth here.
Recently, it’s been all about Nascent Soul Peak powerhouses or one of the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs showing up; your background advantage does nothing for me.
You need to step up! If you don’t step up, how can I run amok in Ten Immortals City?
Su Yuan muttered silently, hoping to see his master become a dragon.
He greeted Qi Hanyan and then headed towards Taibai Phecda’s office with Chen Nuoyi.
After knocking on the office door, Su Yuan immediately looked at the desk and was then stunned.
Because sitting at the main desk was actually Wu Luo True Monarch, and Taibai Phecda had to stand to the side.
Su Yuan: "..."
Big sister, you’re a bit haunting.
If you’re being threatened, Taibai Old Deng, just blink your eyes.
The elegant red-haired mature woman glanced at the two:
"You’re here? Now let’s get to the point."
"It’s nothing else, just continuing the topic of the Chen Family ancestor, that is... the Dragon King Inheritance."
With these words, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi’s expressions immediately became grave.
Then Wu Luo True Monarch slowly said:
"I suppose you two have long heard the story of the Chen Family ancestor’s rise."
Chen Nuoyi nodded slightly:
"According to family documents, during the early stage of Spiritual Energy Revival, the ancestor ventured into an extremely perilous secret realm and came out with the Dragon King Bloodline."
"Unfortunately, his bloodline was incomplete, and he fell just before he was about to break through to Nascent Soul at the age of fifty."
Wu Luo True Monarch said:
"That’s exactly what happened, but there’s something your ancestor didn’t tell you."
"Though he couldn’t fully explore that secret realm, he did hold onto the entrance coordinates."
"When he fell, he passed the secret realm’s coordinates and the method to enter it to me, along with instructions on how to break the secret realm’s barriers."
"But to unlock the first step of this secret realm, a descendant with a complete Dragon King Bloodline is needed, which is why I’ve been waiting until now."
"Now that you’re here, the Dragon King Secret Realm should also be opened."
After hearing this explanation, Su Yuan couldn’t help but ask:
"What type of secret realm is it that made the Chen Family ancestor risk life and limb?"
"During the early stage of Spiritual Energy Revival, cultivators had unclear definitions and classifications of secret realms, but now, the level of the Dragon King Secret Realm should be determined, right?"
Wu Luo True Monarch gave Su Yuan a sideways glance and said calmly:
"According to modern terms, the Dragon King Secret Realm is a heritage secret realm, and it contains a complete Divinity Transformation Inheritance."
"Since this secret realm is meant to pass on a legacy, its owner set a cultivation limit, which is the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Su Yuan thought to himself, no wonder.
This was Wu Luo True Monarch’s description of Chen Nuoyi’s path to Divinity Transformation.
But...
"Going by the name of the secret realm, it should be a Demon Race secret realm, right? For Nuoyi to learn a Demon Race Divinity Transformation inheritance with her Human Race body, is it truly okay?"
"If there’s a risk, even if it’s a Divinity Transformation Inheritance, it should be abandoned early."
Su Yuan spoke with a serious tone.
Wu Luo True Monarch wasn’t angered by the hint of confrontation in Su Yuan’s tone and continued speaking in a calm manner:
"According to my and the Star River Celestial Monarch’s investigations, the Demon Race entity who left the Divinity Transformation Inheritance within the Dragon King Secret Realm is one extremely friendly to the Human Race."
"Due to the Demon Race’s incredibly long lifespan, far exceeding that of Humans in the same realm, this Demon Venerable is virtually eternal and once personally nurtured several Human Race Divinity Transformations—an existence akin to a protector of the Human Race."
"So you don’t need to worry about this inheritance; it must have been specially adjusted for the Human Race, perfectly fitting for Chen Nuoyi, who possesses a complete Dragon King Bloodline."
"As for the various trials within the secret realm... I discussed with Taibai’s child and decided to let you go with Nuoyi."
"With your cunning, you should easily do what the Chen Family ancestor couldn’t, breaking through the layers of barriers in the Dragon King Secret Realm."
After those words, Su Yuan’s inner emotions were a rollercoaster.
Learning about the extraordinary origins of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance’s owner made him happy for Chen Nuoyi’s profound luck.
Hearing Wu Luo True Monarch call his own master "Taibai’s child" left him slightly displeased.
But upon learning he could go along, Su Yuan felt entirely relieved.
Although he believed Chen Nuoyi could navigate the Dragon King Secret Realm, he preferred to stay by her side if possible, in case of any surprises.
Moreover... within the Dragon King Inheritance, there should be many treasures besides the inheritance, right?
Things like Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow should be there, right?
Items like the Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, Chain Armor of Gold, and Lotus Silk Cloud-Stepping Shoes should be there, right?
Perhaps even a Stabilizing Needle or something could be there, right?
Just like Sun Wukong, he also wanted to raid the Dragon Palace and haul out a pile of treasures.
