Master, This Poor Disciple Died Again Today

Chapter 767: Reversing Dragon Veins

The earth quaked. The sky began to tremble. Qi ran riot, flowing wildly out of the dragon veins and surging through it. Hui grinned. Excellent. Its working! As I expected, a qi deviation is, fundamentally, qi flowing incorrectly. By reversing the direction of the four cardinal dragon veins, were essentially creating a qi deviation for the entire Immortal Realm. Its the same principle that works for people, applied on the scale of an entire realm!

Er, or rather, its the same principle that destroys people. But, ah, since thats the goal, its fine, its fine!

The reversed power blasted through the earth, creating a furrow where the dragon vein ran as dirt flew directly upward, away from the rioting vein. The edge of the world began to crumble into the void. Bits of rock and dirt floated off into space, quietly dissipating as they fell away. Hui noted it quietly, mostly focused on routing qi.

As the Golden Immortal said, he is the Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm is he. This Immortal Realm we see is merely what he recreated, after destroying whatever existed before. As for what existed before I dont know what its shaped like, or how to make it, but I know someone who does. He glanced up, but found no clue, nor hint. Though of course, lets not call out to him before we need him. If the Golden Immortal reaches him, I dont have a fallback or a second idea. Since hes my lynchpin, I need to make him seem as unimportant as possible!

I suppose Im counting on Ying Lin for that. Ying Lin, I believe in you! Keep us hidden for just a little longer!

Ah, though, at this rate we should see the Golden Immortal any moment now.

The world crumbled away, the dragon vein twisting and erupting beneath him. Hui flew forward, keeping pace with the dying edge of the realm. The cold of the void gripped at him, but the heat of the Vermillion Birds flames staved it off.

On the screens, the others did the same. Tian Lan protected Bai Xue, wrapping her blue energy around her, Li Xiang remained in sword form, less affected by the cold of the realm as cold metal herself, and Zhubi retreated into his shell, curled up into a cozy coil. From within, he peered out, a self-satisfied expression on his face.

Hui chuckled a little at the sight of it. It looks like Zhubis starting to adjust to being not-a-dragon. Im glad to see it. If I cant find a better solution for him, its better if he can at least adapt to his situation.

From the land at the very edge of the world, Hui reached the seas. Vast swathes of water poured away under the destruction of the realm, though like the dirt, it vanished a few li into the void. Everything destroyed became raw, primordial energy, swirling evenly around Hui. He lifted a hand, touching that energy. Its like qi, yet not qi. Something purer than qi, yet less refined. A brutal, potentate energy, full of possibilities and equally danger.

He clenched his hand. In his palm, the primordial energy became sand, only to slip through his fingers. Clay. Its clay. From this, you can mold entire realmsno. After all, ordinary secret realms can be formed from qi. This is the stuff that makes worldsthe kind of large realms that entire civilizations spend their history on.

Fen Long I er, I wonder if Ive been somewhat discounting Seniors power, by considering him as a pseudo-Immortal? His hobby is creating small realms, but if thats his hobby, then what can I consider his profession, unless its making large realms, like these? Ah he said he was an Immortal from another world. But perhaps was he something like the Immortal of another world? A Heavenly-Emperor-like existence?

In that case, his eternal-nemesis-slash-friend Chen Wuya

Hui licked his lips, suddenly replaying all the conversations hed had with Chen Wuya in his head. If Fen Long was the Heavenly-Emperor-like ultimate good of another world, then, was I dealing with a being that could be considered the absolute evil of another world? Terrifying, too terrifying! To think, I started to treat Chen Wuya casually! Careful, I must proceed carefully! Ah regrets, regrets. I should have bowed even deeper!

Thats neither here nor there now, though. For the moment, lets focus on the task at hand!

The vast sea tumbled into the void, and still they progressed. On the far side, they reached the deep forests. Hui furrowed his brows, a little confused. Is the Golden Immortal not going to act? Is he that distracted by Song Weis battle? Is Ying Lins disguise too powerful?

No, no. Instead, its more likely that even action on this level is meaningless to him, so he plans to not act. Well, thats reasonable, isnt it? He can simply turn back the realms time, and everything Ive done is undone.

Hui spared himself a moment for a small smile before letting the seriousness of the moment overtake him once more. I wont complain. Ill take as much as hell let me, and go as far as hell let me! He said it himself that destroying the Immortal Realm destroys him. If thats not true, it should at least deal a wound! If its not enough to seriously harm him, so be it, but I suspect thats not the case.

Come on, Golden Immortal. Stop putting up a front and make a move. Dont make me destroy the entire realm.

Is he trying to call my bluff?

Ha! What bluff? Lets see this entire realm tumble into the void! Youve laid it out plainly. I must destroy the realm to destroy you. So be it!

Hui chuckled to himself. And Bai Xue said I was a hero. No. I know my role.

A hero? Never. Not me. Im merely a bystander. Just another ordinary cultivator. I dont have high moral standards, nor a high-falutin goal. All I can do is scramble and work hard to protect what little I have. If that means playing dead, Ill do it. If that means playing the hero, Ill do it.

And if that means playing the villain

Hui looked at the crumbling realm beneath him. He grinned.

Ill do it!
