21 Chapter 21

"Oh? What is the treasure then?" Jasmine asked curiously.

Yun Che replied simply, "You'll see." He arranged Qingyue in a comfortable position and after making sure that the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus was working by filling her with profound energy and vitality, he made his way into the depths of the profound beast's stomach.

His heart was thumping heavily, indicating that something was summoning him. He followed the direction that his heart indicated.

Thankfully, since it was an actual stomach, there wasn't any chance of getting lost. After some time, he came across what he was looking for: a sapphire gemstone, shaped exactly like the Fire seed. It was giving off an immense cold aura.

But with Yun Che's cultivation, he wasn't affected by this cold anymore. He picked up the Water seed in his hand and Jasmine exclaimed in excitement at this moment, "Wow! That's the Evil God's Water seed! Now you will be immune to all water element effects!"

She gleefully thought to herself, 'Hah, that Qingyue bitch can no longer hurt him.' For some reason, she was irritated by Xia Qingyue. Was it out of jealousy?

Yun Che chuckled with excitement, his previous somber feelings gone, "Yes. This is the treasure I spent so much effort for."

Jasmine thoughtfully said, "Fire seed, Water seed, Mirror of Samsara, Phoenix inheritance, Dragon God inheritance – this small Blue Wind Empire has an abnormally large number of treasures."

Yun Che sat down cross legged and swallowed the Water seed. After entering his stomach, it was rapidly absorbed by the Evil God's Profound Veins. In a few minutes, the Evil God's Profound Veins had gained the water affinity.

This meant two things – Yun Che was now completely immune to Water and Ice elements, and he could now master any and all Water and Ice profound arts, even if he did not meet the requirements.

The profound energy stored in the Water seed was also released into his veins, and his profound strength immediately broke through to Earth Profound realm.

It continued making breakthrough after breakthrough, and finally stabilized at 5th level Earth Profound realm.

After all this, Yun Che got up and found an incorporeal spirit floating before him. This was the residual spirit of the Evil God.

The spirit had been looking at him for some time and was surprised, 'My successor has also obtained the legacy of the Phoenix and the Dragon God. I can even feel the Dragon God's soul signature, meaning he has likely become his complete inheritor.

This is also slightly troublesome. I had put a restriction on my inheritance so that my inheritor couldn't surpass Divine Sovereign realm, but with the complete inheritance of a True God he would be able to break through that limit. That will put him at True God level combat strength, which will be a burden on the Primordial Chaos plane.

Not just that, he has both the Sky Poison Pearl and the Mirror of Samsara. I can understand the Sky Poison Pearl since I personally put it on this planet, but the Mirror of Samsara should be with the Profound Handle Yun clan of the Northern God territory right? How did it appear here?'

The reason he put so much time and effort into thinking was that he couldn't read Yun Che's memories due to the protection of the Dragon God soul and didn't know what he should do to fulfil the purpose for which he had left behind this residual soul.

Finally when Yun Che awakened from his meditative state, he greeted, "Successor... I am a residual spirit of the Evil God... You have a remarkable number of legacies... I cannot read your mind... Show me a memory of what you desire the most... I shall give it to you..."

Yun Che was calm upon facing this spirit. After all, he already knew this was going to happen. He understood that the original Yun Che was sent to interact with Su Ling'er in the original sequence of events, because that was his subconscious greatest desire.

Of course, the current Yun Che did not care about Su Ling'er. He cared about mostly objective, practical things. Of course, this was not absolute either – he had recently developed some feelings for Qingyue, which could be considered subjective.

And that was something almost impossible – his heart was so hard to move that he had never had any romantic relationship in his previous life, although he was not asexual.

Finally deciding on what to select, he revealed a few of his memories to the spirit – or rather, the memories of the original Yun Che from his life on Azure Cloud continent. These were memories that focused on the Sky Poison Pearl.

The spirit was somewhat baffled upon seeing these memories – didn't his inheritor already have the Sky Poison Pearl? Upon taking a closer look at the Sky Poison Pearl upon Yun Che's hand, he finally understood that it was only one half of the treasure and not its complete self.

The full Sky Poison Pearl had two functions – to purify poison and refine all kinds of herbs, and to release an endless amount of deadly poison - particularly lethal in combination with the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations.

But the Sky Poison Pearl in Yun Che's hand was only the purifying part. The part that released poison was not present, and his greatest desire was to find the other part as well and become its owner. The Evil God's spirit understood this.

"Very well... you shall be sent to a place where you can fulfil your desire... But you can stay there for only an hour..." Saying this, the spirit teleported Yun Che directly to Yun Gu's residence in Azure Cloud continent.

The surroundings distorted and Yun Che found himself standing in front of a modest dwelling. Being already used to this kind of teleportation, he gathered his bearings very quickly.

Using the concealing art to conceal his entire profound aura, so that he appeared to be a mortal, he made his way into the dwelling. It didn't take him long to discover Yun Gu, who was reading the Miracle of Life and had the Sky Poison Pearl by his side.

Yun Che hesitated. Should he negotiate with Yun Gu about what he wanted? Or should he take the simple way?

In the end, he decided to take the simple way and knocked out Yun Gu with a very light chop to his neck after sneaking up on him. After all, he would actually be doing Yun Gu a favor by taking the Sky Poison Pearl from him, since all the powerhouses of the continent would have chased and killed him for it otherwise.

Placing his right palm on the other half of the Sky Poison Pearl, he watched in fascination as it was absorbed into his palm and fused with it, just like the first half with his left palm. He had now obtained another trump card in his repertoire.

Jasmine said, "Well... you didn't tell me you had only one half of the Sky Poison Pearl. But now you have it completely, so this is another treasure. Our trip here has got us not one but two valuable treasures!"

Yun Che smirked, "It's not over yet."
