Chapter 279: I’m Your Long-Lost Father!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under a certain abyss in Qingzhou.

Ye Xinghe held the ancient lamp in his hand and led Xu Luochen towards the middle of the Demon Abyss.

“Brother Xinghe, where are you taking me? How far is it from here?”

Xu Luochen asked in a fearful tone as he looked at his surroundings to see that there was plenty of demonic aura.

He was now terribly flustered and panicky.

Previously, Ye Xinghe told Xu Luochen that he would be taking him somewhere, and the latter thought that Ye Xinghe was intending to tell him his secret because he had told him the secret about his unlucky encounters.

In the end, Ye Xinghe brought Xu Luochen to what seemed like a hellhole to him.

That made Xu Luochen flustered.

“Don’t worry, Luochen, nothing will happen with me around. We’ll reach there in no time.”

Ye Xinghe said.

He was also a little nervous and worried that Xu Luochen might not be the heretical powerhouse’s son, and that he might end up angering the latter because of the blunder.

“Alright.”

Xu Luochen nodded and agreed as he tagged along. He had no choice but to comply since he was receiving help from Ye Xinghe.

Now that he had already entered the dangerous area, there was demonic aura surrounding him, and he was relying entirely on the protection of the lamp in Ye Xinghe’s hand. Even if he wanted to flee, there was nowhere he could go.

His heart was full of regrets. ‘If I had known, I wouldn’t have said those useless things and just gone straight back to Baiyun Ancient City instead. I would then go back to Qingyun Dao Sect and none of these would have happened.’

‘This must be a dangerous place.’

Just like that, the two of them went all the way forward and arrived in front of a gate.

The terrifying demonic aura outside the gate swept across like a gale, making Xu Luochen feel scared.

“Senior!”

Ye Xinghe yelled.

As soon as he did, an old man with messy hair appeared.

He looked straight at Xu Luochen.

He kept his eyes glued to him.

The moment he saw Xu Luochen, the Fiend Lord was certain that he was his son.

Xu Luochen looked rather similar to him when he was younger, and the only difference between them was in their temperament.

Most importantly, Xu Luochen had an aura that only he could detect.

The Fiend Lord was immediately agitated as he hurriedly said to Xu Luochen, “Son, son, my dear son, I’ve finally found you.”

The Fiend Lord spoke with joy and excitement written all over his face.

Thousands of years ago, his wife was assassinated by an enemy when she was expecting and in order to protect the baby, she sacrificed herself. However, her unborn baby still did not manage to survive.

At that time, the Fiend Lord was livid and he went on a rampage to slaughter all his enemies. He then spent countless time and effort to finally let the fetus be reborn.

In order for the child to be successfully reborn, he had to go out every now and then to look for treasures.

However, in the end, his child was born while he was outside.

After the child was born, he disappeared before the Fiend Lord could even find out his gender, leaving the latter distraught and hysterical.

If he hadn’t detected that his child was still alive and was present in this world, he would have already gone on a massacre to destroy everything.

Xu Luochen looked at the old man who seemed neither like a human nor a ghost, and he couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

‘What’s going on?’

‘Why did such a person pop up out of nowhere and call me his son?’

‘This is really scary.’

Xu Luochen wanted to flee, but in this situation, there was nowhere he could go at all. Besides, his legs were also trembling uncontrollably.

He couldn’t help but look at Ye Xinghe.

He realized that Ye Xinghe was a little excited and gleeful.

‘What’s going on?’

Xu Luochen suddenly figured out what was going on.

‘Great, Ye Xinghe, I was so kind to you and this is how you treat me.’

‘I didn’t expect that you were intending to kidnap me and sell me to an old man just because you saw how handsome, dashing, and talented I was in alchemy!’

‘Ye Xinghe must be happy because that old man is pleased with my handsome good looks and is satisfied with the idea of making me his son.’

Xu Luochen was upset and furious.

He thought that he had met a kind soul.

However, in the end, it turned out to be a human trafficker who kidnapped him and sold him to someone else.

‘I’m really such a fool.’

‘Why would there be such a kind person in this world?’

At this moment, Xu Luochen was full of regret and frustration.

Xu Luochen dared not imagine being the son of a lunatic and staying with him in such a hellhole. It was just too terrifying.

Seeing how frightened Xu Luochen was, the old man was immediately at a loss for words. Only then did he remember his current appearance.

“I was too excited and scared you.”

The old man said.

After he said that, he transformed drastically.

He was now wearing a black brocade robe with a black crown on his head. He had white beard and looked rather refined, a stark contrast from before.

Looking at the Fiend Lord in front of him, Xu Luochen froze right on the spot.

He was stunned because after taking a good look, he realized that the old man really looked quite similar to him now.

However, his aura was different. Although the old man had a refined appearance, he had a deterring mightiness and domineering aura that made others too scared to look him in the eye.

‘Are swindlers all so professional these days?’

“Are you really my long-lost father?”

Xu Luochen’s eyes were slightly red and he asked in a shaky voice.

Xu Luochen had never had any thoughts about his biological parents or whatsoever.

After all, he had been an orphan since he was a child, and he had never met his parents, so he had no feelings for them.

Besides, everyone in the Qingyun Dao Sect was an orphan, so Xu Luochen had never been envious of those who had parents nor did he look forward to meeting his parents one day.

Hence, the reason why he asked that was mainly because the current situation made him feel terrified.

This place seemed to be a good place to dispose of a corpse and it looked terrifying.

Hence, Xu Luochen chose to cooperate.

After all, it was clearly impossible to escape by relying on his own strength, so he had no choice except to rely on his wits.

Well, as a man, he had to be able to give and take.

For the sake of his safety, there was nothing wrong with being a son to someone.

“I’m your long-lost biological father.”

The Fiend Lord, who was once the Hall Master of the Supreme Demon Hall, couldn’t help but shake when facing Xu Luochen.

“Father! I finally found you!”

Xu Luochen exclaimed as he immediately hugged the Fiend Lord.

“Son, it’s all my fault for being too incompetent to take good care of you. I’ve caused you to suffer.”

The Fiend Lord was just as agitated as tears flowed out of his bloodshot eyes.

He was full of guilt and heartache.

The moment he saw Xu Luochen, he knew that his son was not incredibly lucky but the complete opposite.

He reckoned that his son must have suffered lots of hardships over the years.

The Fiend Lord was heartbroken.

They held each other in an embrace for a long time.

“Didn’t I tell you to ignite the treasure talisman once you find my son and I’ll go to look for you immediately? What if my son had encountered any danger during the journey?”

The Fiend Lord looked at Ye Xinghe without any gratitude and instead even reprimanded him.

Ye Xinghe’s hair stood on end and he hung his head low.

“Congratulations on your reunion with your son, Senior. When I met Luochen, I was unsure if he was your son so I brought him to the Demon Abyss for you to take a look at him first, lest you make a wasted trip.”

Ye Xinghe said.

“So my son is called Luochen, that’s a nice name.”

The Fiend Lord said when he heard that.

Ye Xinghe was dumbfounded.

So was Xu Luochen.

‘Damn it, what are you focusing on?’

“Luckily my son is fine, otherwise… This is the reward I promised to give you.”

The Fiend Lord coldly humphed and raised his palm.

A drop of crystal clear, jewel-like blood appeared together with miniature shadows of an Azure Dragon, a White Tiger, a Vermilion Bird, a Black Tortoise, and a Qilin.

That was the complete blood of the five sacred beasts.

Xu Luochen, who was standing at the side, was stunned and the fragrance of the blood made his pores expand.

‘What a good treasure!’

‘I didn’t expect this dog Ye Xinghe to be able to sell me for such a good treasure.’

Xu Luochen was furious.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Ye Xinghe was extremely excited because it was the complete blood of the five sacred beasts!

Previously, the mere scraps of the blood of the five sacred beasts had already allowed his cultivation level to be increased greatly.

If he had this drop of complete blood of the five sacred beasts, he was confident that he would be able to advance to the Essence Soul realm within a hundred years.

Even in the Great Xia Dynasty, an Essence Soul realm cultivator would be considered an expert.

Ye Xinghe was very excited.

When the Fiend Lord saw Xu Luochen’s appearance, his heart ached even more.

A single drop of blood of the five sacred beasts was enough to make his son so flabbergasted and amazed. How much suffering must he have gone through?

When Xu Luochen was still a fetus, he had been soaked in the blood of the five sacred beasts.

“Don’t worry, my son. If you’d like to have some, I have plenty to give you. I won’t let you suffer again.”

“Due to your demigod constitution, the potential luck of your body has been suppressed, causing whatever you have to become ordinary. You even became unlucky.”

“However, I have already prepared for you to change your fate so that you can break through the shackles and metamorphose into a true god!”

The Fiend Lord said to Xu Luochen.

All of a sudden, Xu Luochen was stunned after hearing his words.

‘He has plenty?’

‘Is he that rich?’

‘If that’s the case, I don’t mind calling him my father.’

‘What’s a demigod constitution?’

However, Xu Luochen was pleased with the latter half of his sentence because it turned out that his unluckiness was a result of his suppressed potential luck.

‘No wonder, no wonder.’

Xu Luochen had always felt that he was not a wastrel, and now, it seemed to really be true.

He had found the reason.

“Then what realm will I be able to cultivate to if I change my fate and become a god? Can I reach the Golden Core realm?”

Xu Luochen looked at the Fiend Lord with his eyes full of expectations.

He was asking about a realm above the average because the City Lord of Qingzhou was a Golden Core realm cultivator after all.

If he could become a Golden Core realm cultivator himself, he would be a famous expert in Qingzhou.

He could already imagine the scene of having his fate changed and returning to the Qingyun Dao Sect in three years’ time.

In particular, he imagined pretending to be impressive in front of Su Changyu.

Although Su Changyu was a good-for-nothing, Xu Luochen had always admired him for being good at pretending.

Hence, Xu Luochen really wanted to boast to Su Changyu and watch him getting jealous of him.

The more Xu Luochen thought about it, the more pleased he became, and he soon got so immersed that he forgot that he had been “abducted”.

“Golden Core realm? No problem, of course!”

The Fiend Lord was heartbroken because he could tell that his son was only at the Qi Refinement realm.

It was such a sad thing that his son was only at the Qi Refinement realm and only dared to think about reaching the Golden Core realm.

‘This is so heartbreaking!’

“When you metamorphose into a god and maximize your potential, you will be able to reach the Mahayana realm, if not, the Tribulation Transcendence realm. Besides, you will not be hindered by any disasters in your path to Immortal Ascension.”

The Fiend Lord explained to Xu Luochen what the body of a god was.

Ye Xinghe, who was at the side, was stunned.

To change his fate against the heavens, to break the shackles of a demigod constitution, and metamorphose into a true god.

He knew how impressive the constitution of a true god was. After all, it existed in legends.

However, after hearing the words of the Fiend Lord, Ye Xinghe was shocked and speechless.

Reaching the Mahayana realm? Becoming unhindered in one’s path to Immortal Ascension?

This!

This!

This!

He couldn’t help but think of the efforts that he had put in since he was a child. This time, he even obtained the blood of the five sacred beasts and was expecting to reach the Essence soul realm within a hundred years.

However, in comparison to Xu Luochen, Ye Xinghe felt that the blood of the five sacred beasts that he was holding was lackluster.

Indeed, having a good father trumps working hard.

Xu Luochen was stunned.

He was dumbfounded.

‘Huh?’

‘Either the Tribulation Transcendence or the Mahayana realm?’

‘Unhindered path to Immortal Ascension?’

‘Are you taking me for a fool?’

‘You really think I’m a fool because you managed to trick me into coming here?’

Xu Luochen naturally did not believe it.

It was simply too exaggerated.

It was outrageous.

Even if he said he could become a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, he might still believe it.

However, he only read about Tribulation Transcendence and the Mahayana realm cultivators in novels because there were no such existences in the entire Jin Nation.

As for becoming immortal, it seemed like nonsense to him!

Xu Luochen immediately spoke up.

“Father, you are too good to me, I’m so touched.”

Xu Luochen was grateful.

Even if he didn’t believe it, he couldn’t say it straight.

What if he angered him?

He had no choice but to succumb since he was on someone else’s territory.

‘I have to endure!’

‘I have to endure!’

‘As long as I do, I will be able to find a chance to escape!’

“Son, I’ll take you to get some rest to prepare for the changing of your fate.”

The Fiend Lord said so.

“Okay. Thank you, Father.”

Xu Luochen nodded and tagged along.

At the same time, in the Great Xia Dynasty palace.

In the middle of the glorious inner palace, there was an unconscious young man lying on the bed with a menacing expression and lingering black gas surrounding him.

“What’s going on, how can there be such rich demonic aura here?”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at Xia Qian with a frown.

A few Great Xia Dynasty powerhouses stood by the side with grim expressions as they looked at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

“This is an unprecedented situation.”

“This demonic aura is seeping out of the Crown Prince’s body like an endless stream of water.”

“This demonic aura is too pure. Even the cultivators of the four major Fiend Cults cannot produce such pure demonic aura.”

“This demonic aura is still repairing the Crown Prince’s torn meridians and improving his body. If it goes on like this, the Crown Prince will probably become a heretical cultivator.”

Everyone looked at Xia Qian’s condition and frowned.

Even if they were all knowledgeable, they couldn’t tell what Xia Qian’s condition was.

It was a difficult thing to deal with.

Xia Qian was not the only person facing that problem as it would also affect the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Xia Qian was the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, and although he was about to be stripped of his position, he was still a royal and the former Crown Prince.

If the matter of the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty being a demonic cultivator were to spread, it would be a huge disgrace to the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Great Xia Dynasty would probably become the talk of the world.

During this period of time in particular, the reemergence of the Fiendcelestial Cult, the Heavenly Fiend Cult, the Ancient Fiend Cult, and the True Fiend Cult had disrupted the cultivation world.

No one would believe them if they were to say that the Great Xia Dynasty had nothing to do with the Fiend Cults.

“His Highness should know something. There’s still some supreme Sword Qi in the Crown Prince’s body that’s constantly exterminating and suppressing the demonic aura. It should have been left behind by the Tenth Prince.”

Someone said so.

“It seems that the sword move that the Tenth Prince executed in the dungeon previously was the one that left the Sword Qi in the Crown Prince’s body.”

“In that case, it seems that His Highness knew what was going on at that time.”

“Why don’t we go look for His Highness and find out what’s going on?”

“At that time, His Highness didn’t send us a message, so he probably didn’t want to let us know about it. Besides, he had already left the Qingyun Dao Sect at that time.”

Someone said.

When the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty heard those words, his expression became a little complicated.

He knew very well what happened after Su Changyu left the Great Xia Dynasty palace.

He summoned his sword and everyone in the cultivation world now knew that Su Changyu from the Qingyun Dao Sect was a Supreme Sword Immortal.

He now had extremely complicated feelings about Su Changyu, which could not be put into words.

“We’ll put the matter of the Crown Prince aside for the time being. Observe for any changes in the Crown Prince’s condition. If there are any problems, report to me immediately.”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at Xia Qian who was on the palace bed and said so.

“Yes.”

Everyone immediately assented.

At the same time, in a main hall that was hundreds of feet underground in Qingzhou.

There was something like an altar that was surrounded by bloodstains that hadn’t dried up.

There was a deep pool in the center of the altar.

There was demonic aura rolling in the pool and a shadow gradually appeared.

A middle-aged man with an indifferent expression sat up from the pool before slowly opening his eyes.

“What’s going on?”

“Tai Xuan died and he didn’t send a single message to inform us about what happened.”

The middle-aged man muttered under his breath while frowning, his eyes full of bewilderment.

If anyone who had seen Daoist Tai Xuan saw this man, they would definitely be shocked because this middle-aged man looked exactly the same as Daoist Tai Xuan.

His name was Daoist Xu Xuan. He could be considered Daoist Tai Xuan’s doppelganger.

In the beginning, Daoist Tai Xuan had obtained the Fiend Transformation Technique when he discovered the relics of the ancient Demon Sect.

He wanted to use the Great Fiend Transformation Technique to absorb the fiend with his body and transform into the Fiendcelestial using another type of Immortal Ascension.

However, if the Fiendcelestial was revived, it might very likely be seized.

If the transformation failed, the Immortal Ascension would fail too.

Daoist Tai Xuan had also obtained a Dharmic formulation cultivation method in the relics of the Ancient Fiend.

It was an alternative method of cultivating a doppelganger.

After the strength of the cultivator reached the Essence Soul realm, he would be able to cultivate and sacrifice to cultivate a second doppelganger.

However, if the Fiendcelestial was absorbed using the Great Fiend Transformation Technique, the doppelganger would be damaged once the Fiendcelestial was seized too because the doppelganger and the main body were connected and shared the same essence soul.

The doppelganger cultivation method of this Fiend Cult was different.

It consisted of refining a fiend body that did not have any conscience, before incorporating one’s thoughts and attention into the fiend’s body to create another version of oneself.

Although the two were not related, all their memories, behavior, and habits were exactly the same, so it could be considered another version of oneself.

“With Tai Xuan’s strength, it’s impossible for him to die without being able to send any message to inform us.”

“He should have gone out this time because he sensed the aura of the Son of Destiny. In this case, Tai Xuan’s death should have something to do with the Son of Destiny.”

‘Son of Destiny.’

Daoist Xu Xuan muttered while trying to imagine and figure out what had happened.

His thinking process was exactly the same as Tai Xuan too, so he simulated what he would do after finding the Son of Destiny.

After pondering for a long time, Daoist Xu Xuan still couldn’t figure out how Tai Xuan would just die without being able to inform them.

‘It’s just finding the Son of Destiny. How could a mishap have happened?’

Even if he had gotten into a mishap, he couldn’t have died without being able to inform them about it.

Daoist Tai Xuan would usually incorporate everything that he had done into his mind.

Daoist Xu Xuan immediately took out a jade talisman and summoned the Fiendcelestial Cult. He then asked them to help him find out what had happened recently.
