Lord Xue Ying

Both parties agreed on it.

And Xue Ying immediately left after that.

Weather Leaf also came out from the side. He walked to the side of Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor.

“Succeeded?” Weather Leaf said.

“I succeeded after sending nine Void Lineage Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpses as a gift.” The edges of Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’s lips curled upwards. He glanced at Weather Leaf, “Did you not give him anything?”

Weather Leaf remained quiet for a while: “He can acquire food easily. Just by relying on himself, he can exchange for most of the Void Lineage Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpses. The reason he agreed to your conditions is more so for the ‘Quiet Icy Mountain Master’! Otherwise, do you think he’ll be willing to risk his life with you for this little gift?”

“I know you are jealous.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor replied.

The relationship between both parties was subtle.

Both of them had reached where they were after climbing up as a mortal. Both of them also had the highest realm within the Scarlet Cloud City.

“Have you decided?” Weather Leaf asked, “That you are going to break through to the Chaotic Origin Level through awakening of your bloodline?”

“Mn, I’ve decided.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor nodded.

“Are you willing to?” Weather Leaf questioned again, “Given your strength and accumulations, it might be possible for you to have an enlightenment breakthrough, reaching the next level using force and becoming the strongest ‘Overlord’ class amongst the Chaotic Origin Experts… even if you can’t, if you were to receive a favorable impression from an Overlord, he can send you to an Origin World and allow you to reincarnate within. The willpower of that Origin World might suppress you, yet it is entirely possible for you to grasp that Origin World and become a World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform.”

Overlord Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform was the highest class.

World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform was considered not bad. At least the cultivator would be unparalleled within the Origin World that he controlled!

As for a High-Grade Chaotic Origin Lifeform, that was comparatively much weaker!

“Cultivating to my level, the price of sending me into an Origin World is simply too pricey! It is much harder than sending some weaker cultivators into an Origin World.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor shook his head, “I have stayed in the Sacred World for far too long, and there has never been an Overlord who showed any intention of doing so.”

He had already lost hope.

He was clear.

An Origin World… would suppress even experts within it. For instance, ‘Sacred Master’ and ‘Old Monster Stone’ had survived through the Great Apocalypse before entering a new era. Both of them would be forced into deep slumber! That was the suppression rendered by the will of an Origin World. It gave the lifeforms of the next era sufficient time to grow.

As for an expert on the level of Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor, he was too powerful and too terrifying! By reincarnating him into the next era, he would incur a huge conflict with the will of the Origin World. Hence, the price of sending him into a reincarnation was simply too great.

Even if he succeeded!

He would be forced into deep slumber! Or perhaps, he would be suppressed within the Source of the Origin World… having various restrictions shackled onto him. The stronger the expert, the greater the restrictions. How powerful was an Origin World? It could easily suppress a Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform.

“Even if I become a Chaotic Origin through bloodline awakening, turning into a High-Grade Chaotic Origin Lifeform, I believe that with my accumulations and experience… I can similarly cultivate to the next level––’World Realm Chaotic Origin Lifeform’. It might even be possible for me to become an ‘Overlord Class Chaotic Origin Lifeform’.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor confidently declared.

Weather Leaf did not add anything after that.

In reality, undergoing a bloodline awakening meant incarnating oneself into an Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform! The path of growth would also be inline with the path of an Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform. This path had a considerably lower potential.

For instance, an Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeform that had reached the highest level like the ‘Thousand-Eyed Existence’ or the ‘Myriad Tentacles Dragon Mother’ might injure Yuan and other Overlords, yet they still fell in the end.

As for Overlords…

Even though there were few of them, none had fallen!

Hence, it was clear which path would lead to a higher position.

Nonetheless, the difficulty of becoming an ‘Overlord’ was simply too high.

“It is up to us to choose which path to walk on.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor said, “I am unlike you who has already gained the notice of many Chaotic Origin Experts. There are even Overlords who have promised to reincarnate you into an Origin World in the worst case scenario.”

Weather Leaf shook his head: “But my path is still to break through by force.”

How terrifying was it for an existence to reach the Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Level in two Daos? There was just him within the Sacred World who achieved this.

“Your path is much harder to walk.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor turned around and left. His heart was filled with sorrow. Given his strength, no Chaotic Origin Experts were there to nurture him. He had to fight for it himself.

…

Xue Ying returned to his cavern-dwelling. He checked through the 15 different Grand Perfection God Emperor Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpses that he had already collected. The moment he saw them, he felt delighted.

‘I am still lacking six more.’

‘These six are much harder to acquire. However, City Master Nine-Headed hasn’t openly collected these corpses prior to meeting me. He should have simply exchanged some with his other good friends.’ Xue Ying thought. Because in history, there were cases of teams from Scarlet Cloud City heading to other cities to trade.

Some of the rarer Chaotic Origin Lifeforms over at their side might exist in other cities.

This was also the reason why Weather Leaf dared to put out the condition of helping him collect them.

“I, Flying Snow, is planning to collect six kinds of Void Lineage Grand Perfection God Emperor Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpses respectively. I am only planning to buy one of each kind! One of them can be exchanged for three times the amount of food.” The six kinds of lifeforms were listed clearly. Xue Ying directly publicised this to all cultivators within the Scarlet Cloud City through his communication treasure.

Three times the food!

This was slightly rarer. It was quite good for corpses to be exchanged for twice the amount of food.

But Xue Ying was rich. He naturally did not care about it.

“Brother Flying Snow.”

“Monarch Flying Snow.’

“Flying Snow…”

Many messages came.

They were all here to exchange food!

After all, with more than 3,000 experts in Scarlet Cloud City, there were more than 100 that had one of these six kinds of corpse.

Xue Ying immediately contacted the cultivators sequentially before confirming the matter about exchanging food.

“The transaction is complete.” Xue Ying soon transmitted to all cultivators about it.

…

Something like exchanging for three times the food would only happen serendipitously.

The moment it appeared, everyone would immediately take the initiative to offer for a trade. It’s a pity that Xue Ying only required one of each kind! Of these six Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, some were stronger and some weaker. Some could be exchanged for two ordinary ones. Hence, in the end, Xue Ying forked out a total of 25 different Grand Perfection God Emperor Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpses to acquire all six kinds of lifeforms at three times the rate.

‘I have gathered all 21 kinds of Void Lineage Chaotic Origin Lifeforms in the Sacred World at the Grand Perfection God Emperor level.’ Xue Ying was overjoyed. He was currently in his underground palace taking out one corpse after another before starting his study on these Chaotic Origin Lifeform corpses.

******

Great Emperor North River had also received the public message sent by Xue Ying.

First, he released the news that he was openly trading for Void Lineage corpses! Closely following that, he announced that the trade was complete.

‘Three times the food.’

Great Emperor North River checked through the news within his cavern-dwelling, ‘To Ying Shan Xue Ying, collecting food is a very easy task. It’s good too. Even though I might have a hard time getting food, the whole process of gathering for them is a form of training.’

Right.

This a form of training on the line between life and death! Cultivators understood this. They did not really like it though they were forced to stand out with their lives as they hunted for food.

‘Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet.’

Great Emperor North River flipped his hand, causing a Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet to appear on his palm. Great Emperor North River looked at it, ‘This Ying Shan Xue Ying has always desired to acquire this Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet. Hmph hmph… this has been left behind by a terrifying existence on the level that had incarnated into the Broken Teeth Mountain Range after his death. I must not let this Ying Shan Xue Ying get it so easily.’

Great Emperor North River was clear that the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet was useless to him! The Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet was only useful in the forbidden ground, ‘Snake Tooth Corridor’. And now, it was no longer helpful to his cultivation.

But this was his most important treasure. Great Emperor North River understood that it was something Xue Ying desired to get too.

‘I must not take the initiative to ask if he wants. I should wait until he begs for it from me. By then, I’ll ensure he pays a hefty price for it.’ Great Emperor North River planned.

This was something that Xue Ying wanted.

In the end, Great Emperor North River violated his oath and snatched it away. And now, Great Emperor North River wished to earn a great sum of food by relying on this ‘Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet’.

Nevertheless…

Time passed.

Ten thousand years, a million years, ten million years, more than a hundred million years…

Great Emperor North River was forced to go out to hunt for food yet Xue Ying had never come seeking him for it.
