He had purposely dispelled his disguise technique to reveal his true appearance to his good Senior Brother. Otherwise, why else would he foolishly fight with someone much stronger than himself?
Naturally, he did this because he was cooking up another devious scheme. Yun Wuji had already completed the initial phase of his plan for the God Realm. He had won the heart and full support of Mu Xuanyin, a 10th-level Divine Master, which, by extension, also meant he had the backing of Chi Wuyao and the Soul Stealing Realm.
Over this period of time, he had also gained the complete trust of Luo Guxie, making her sink deeper into her feelings for him. Now, his position in her heart was equal to that of her son, Luo Changsheng.
This was a complete success for the initial stage of his plans. In fact, it had even exceeded his expectations. After all, when he had first left the Blue Pole Star, he never imagined he would encounter Luo Guxie.
And now, he was beginning to move into the next stage of his grand plan. This time, his goal was Qianye Ying'er and the Brahma Monarch God Realm!
In his original plan, he hadn't intended to start with the Brahma Monarch God Realm this early. His first target was the Moon God Realm. With his connection to Yue Wugou as her son-in-law and his medical skills, he could have infiltrated the Moon God Realm in a very short time.
But as they say, plans can't keep up with changes. Just like with Luo Guxie, Yun Wuji never expected to encounter a final boss-level character like Qianye Ying'er the moment he stepped out of the Blue Pole Star.
The best way for Yun Wuji to get in contact with Qianye Ying'er was, naturally, to deliver himself to her.
Since she had been searching for him all over the God Realm, it was only fair for him to respond to her 'enthusiasm.'
However, doing it so simply felt too 'wasteful' for him. That's why Yun Wuji thought since he was already handing himself over to Qianye Ying'er, why not take care of his good Senior Brother at the same time?
Over the past few months, this guy had been causing trouble for him everywhere. Although he had managed to resolve everything, it didn't change the fact that it was annoying.
With Yun Wuji's vindictive personality, he naturally planned to repay him. So, he devised a simple scheme: he would "accidentally" reveal his true appearance to Luo Changsheng. Given Luo Changsheng's hatred for him, there was a 99.99% chance he would report this to the Brahma Monarch God Realm.
This wouldn't just help Yun Wuji achieve his goal, it would also drive a wedge between Luo Guxie and Luo Changsheng. And that was something Yun Wuji very much wanted to see.
To drive an even deeper wedge between them, Yun Wuji planned to add more drama. As he thought this, a sinister laugh escaped him. "I wonder how Luo Shangchen will react when he finds out that his most beloved son is actually his nephew?"
Heheh...
Did Luo Changsheng really think Yun Wuji was so easy to bully?
When he loses the support of both Luo Guxie and the Holy Eaves Realm, what would he do?
Would he end up committing suicide like he did in the novel?
"I'm also curious about how Luo Guxie will react later. Losing both her soon-to-be lover and her son at the same time, what will she do?" Yun Wuji stood up from his seat and began pacing as he thought about Luo Guxie. "With her level of craziness, who knows what she might do?"
'She's batshit crazy, but it's precisely because she's crazy that she's kind of hot. They say not to stick your dick in crazy, but honestly, I kind of want to try.'
Of course, Yun Wuji's plan carried certain risks. After all, if he were to fall into Qianye Ying'er's hands, she would almost certainly seek revenge for the humiliation he caused her last time. But to him, it wasn't a big deal. If things went south, he could always commit suicide. With the Phoenix's Nirvana and the Divine Miracle of Life, he would revive and retain his cultivation.
Additionally, although the Heretic God Body couldn't cultivate profound light energy, Yun Wuji had still stored a large amount of it within him for emergencies. So, even if Qianye Ying'er tortured him or attempted to use the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark, it wouldn't work. He had prepared himself for every possible outcome.
Obviously, Yun Wuji could think of a couple of other ways to take down both Qianye Ying'er and the Brahma Monarch God Realm without taking so many risks. But those methods would take time—something Yun Wuji didn't have.
Another option was to directly obtain the resources he needed from Chi Wuyao, which would be fairly easy for him, and use them to raise his cultivation. But this would also take a long time. The process of absorbing energy from crystals wasn't instantaneous either, it usually took him many hours to refine a single Divine King Beast core, which was already insanely fast. At this rate, he could reach the Divine Master Realm in less than 40 years and the Divine Sovereign Realm in just 15 years. But even that was too slow for him because he simply didn't have that much time.
His comprehension of the law of nothingness had reached a threshold, causing his progress to become slow. This was also why he wanted to see Qianye Ying'er, she had the second part of the World-Defying Heaven Manual.
Jie Yuan would return in 12 years, and the Abyssal invasion would begin 4 to 5 years after that. Only by taking risks and shortcuts could Yun Wuji ensure that everything would remain under his control in the future.
For the next few days, Yun Wuji obediently followed his master's orders and stayed in his residence. However, without anyone noticing, certain news quietly made its way to Luo Shangchen.
...
"Impossible... impossible!" Luo Shangchen stared at the two blood crystals in his hands, frozen in place, muttering in disbelief. His face was pale, his eyes devoid of any light. As he spoke, a trail of blood spilled from his lips. The shock was so overwhelming, it felt as though it had pierced his very soul!
"Sect Master, please get hold of yourself," the Grand Elder said, his expression was also not good. He spoke in a low, calming voice, trying to console Luo Shangchen.
A few days ago, he had suddenly received shocking information: Luo Changsheng was not Luo Shangchen's son at all. Instead, he was the son of Luo Guxie, who had killed Luo Shangchen's wife and replaced his real son with her own.
This was more outrageous than any soap opera he had ever seen in his life; the situation was so convoluted, it seemed unbelievable! Who would be bored enough to fabricate such a wild story?
Naturally, the Grand Elder didn't believe this nonsense and dismissed it as absurd. He angrily searched for the source of this outrageous story, the kind that wouldn't even appear in a third-rate web novel. But strangely enough, he couldn't find a single clue!
After much deliberation, he still chose to bring this matter to the Sect Master. If it turned out to be a lie, it would simply mean another attempt by an adversary realm to sow discord. But if it turned out to be true, the implications would be enormous. After all, this concerned the two strongest figures in the Holy Eaves Realm and its future successor.
There could be no room for error!
When the Sect Master first learned about this, he also didn't take it seriously. But a certain voice in his heart kept urging him to confirm it. In the end, he secretly conducted a blood test, and these two crystals were the result.
It turned out that the information was actually true!
Luo Changsheng, his pride and joy, was not his son!
He was a bastard!
A bastard... bastard... bastard!
These words echoed in his mind relentlessly, like a devil whispering in his ear. Suddenly, Luo Shangchen raised his head and let out a piercing roar, "Lie! It's all a lie! Ahhhh!!"
His profound energy exploded like a mini sun, sending the grand elder flying through the air like a cannonball. The building he had been in exploded, crumbling into rubble.
"Luo Guxie! You bitch, where are you?!" Luo Shangchen soared into the sky, roaring in fury.
His thunderous shout shook the entire sect, and the ground trembled beneath him. Many of the weaker disciples collapsed, unable to withstand the shockwave of his anger.
"You are both together? Good!"
Spreading his divine sense, he instantly locked onto Luo Guxie's location. She was with Luo Changsheng. Without hesitation, his figure blurred as he shot toward them like a streak of lightning.
"Sect Master, don't!" The grand elder struggled to keep up, his face deathly pale.
