Chapter 537: Reincarnation of the Great Celestial Lord, Six Treasures of the Yin Realm

Someone who had lived for tens of millions of years dared to call himself a youth?

Ye Xu smiled without speaking.

Li Ruoyu felt uneasy under his gaze and coughed, saying: "Master, to be frank, after I ascended to the upper realm, I have been cultivating at the Caofa Lodge of the Great Celestial Lord of Creation."

"Over these years, I have also accumulated a bit of wealth."

"I know," Ye Xu said with a laugh.

Sitting on the wealth of a Great Celestial Lord, he naturally had a high status.

"I want to know one thing."

Li Ruoyu’s gaze hardened slightly, and his expression gradually turned serious, saying: "Master, is the Great Celestial Lord of Creation dead or alive?"

He had cultivated at the Caofa Lodge for many years, but he always felt that the Great Celestial Lord of Creation had not truly perished.

Li Ruoyu had seen too many tragic cases of family betrayal.

He felt deeply worried.

Therefore, Li Ruoyu did not practice the techniques of the Great Celestial Lord of Creation.

Partly, it was because he feared the Great Celestial Lord of Creation might have left flaws in the techniques.

On the other hand, he understood that following the path of predecessors, though simple, would one day reach its end.

After all, his Heavenly Emperor Scripture was created when he proclaimed himself emperor, merging the myriad laws of heaven and earth, so he had great insights on developing new techniques.

"This matter is simple," Ye Xu said lightly with a smile.

"As long as you can produce the money, I’ll fulfill any request."

"Wait a moment," Li Ruoyu pondered deeply and said: "If he is not dead, where is he?"

"I must know his whereabouts."

"These are two questions, and they need to be addressed one by one," Ye Xu said.

"Daoist friend, you must understand that even if the Great Celestial Lord of Creation is not dead, he is no longer the Great Celestial Lord of Creation but likely a different person entirely."

Li Ruoyu seemed partially understanding.

"Then I’ll change the way I ask."

Li Ruoyu was not a fool, and he spoke firmly: "Where is the reincarnation body of the Great Celestial Lord of Creation?"

Ye Xu frowned.

After a moment, he suddenly smiled.

"Hold on," Ye Xu smiled.

"Let me divine the matter."

"System, to inquire about the whereabouts of the reincarnation body of the Great Celestial Lord of Creation, how many Hongmeng points are required?"

【One hundred billion.】

Ye Xu’s heart skipped a beat.

Since the system had set a price, it meant the Great Celestial Lord of Creation truly had a reincarnation body.

"One hundred and eighty billion divine stones," Ye Xu quoted his price.

Li Ruoyu was extremely smart, condensing three questions into one, but Ye Xu was no fool either.

The final interpretation power lay in his hands, and he would not waste an opportunity to earn money.

Ye Xu’s expression remained calm.

The Heavenly Emperor before him was no longer a penniless pauper; this was a genuine fat sheep.

The inheritance he had received from the Great Celestial Lord was exceedingly abundant.

He even possessed two Celestial Lord treasures.

However, Li Ruoyu’s cultivation was too low; he still couldn’t perfectly control celestial treasures.

"One hundred and eighty billion?"

Li Ruoyu’s eyes widened. Gritting his teeth, he declared, "One hundred and eighty billion, so be it!"

Whoosh!

He channeled his power, and a top-tier Five Tribulations Dao Sovereign treasure shot out from an ancient Dao Realm—not his own Great Dao World, but the Caofa Lodge.

It was the legacy left behind by the Great Celestial Lord of Creation.

The Caofa Lodge alone held immeasurable value.

One treasure.

One immortal root.

One formation diagram.

Ye Xu couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Li Ruoyu was way too fat.

"System, redeem immediately."

Ding!

Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one hundred eighty-five billion Hongmeng points.

"Immediately retrieve the whereabouts of the Great Celestial Lord of Creation."

Ding!

Another peculiar sound rang out.

Information flowed like water into Ye Xu’s mind.

His expression gradually grew grave.

"Master, do you have his whereabouts?" Li Ruoyu asked nervously.

Ye Xu nodded.

"He is in the yin realm."

The Great Celestial Lord of Creation had indeed not perished, though his original body had truly withered. Unnoticed by a single god or demon, he had slipped from the yang realm into the yin realm.

"The yin realm?" Li Ruoyu frowned deeply.

From the Great Celestial Lord of Creation’s legacy, he knew of another world’s existence.

That world was the yin realm.

"Is that all?"

Li Ruoyu said in shock.

Did eighteen hundred billion divine stones only give you two words?

Whoosh!

A golden book and jade slip flew toward Li Ruoyu. Ye Xu said lightly, "See for yourself."

Li Ruoyu’s Divine Sense surged into the jade slip.

"The Great Celestial Lord of Creation had his physical body destroyed, but his primordial spirit remained intact, escaped to the yin realm, was reincarnated as the Creation Daoist, and now he is a Four Tribulations Dao Sovereign."

"The Creation Daoist controls one of the six treasures of the yin realm, the Creation Jade Butterfly."

"Right now, the Creation Daoist is cultivating at his Dao field."

"Specific location: …"

Pieces of information flooded in, impacting Li Ruoyu’s Dao heart.

The Great Celestial Lord of Creation really hadn’t perished; his reincarnated self had cultivated to become a Four Tribulations Dao Sovereign and even held one of the so-called six treasures of the yin realm—the Creation Jade Butterfly.

Ye Xu was also deep in thought.

At that moment, he could confirm that the Hongmeng Dao Realm he was in was the yang realm.

"The yang realm has the Nine Great Heavenly Books, and the yin realm has the six treasures," Ye Xu murmured to himself. "Could there be any connection between them?"

"Master, there’s one more question," Li Ruoyu said anxiously.

The Great Celestial Lord of Creation was still alive, yet he himself had inherited his legacy; he was bound to face reckoning in the future, so he needed to ensure no flaws were present on him.

"On my body, has he left any mark?" Li Ruoyu said solemnly.

"Fifty billion divine stones," Ye Xu said with a smile.

"Deal."

Li Ruoyu was very prompt; he handed over a Dao Sovereign treasure.

Ye Xu happily exchanged it into Hongmeng points and said, "You don’t need to worry; on your body, there is no mark left by the Great Celestial Lord of Creation."

"In short, he probably has no interest in you."

Li Ruoyu’s thoughts, Ye Xu could see through clearly, proving he had no Celestial Lord power protecting him; he was just a big fat sheep sitting on a Celestial Lord’s legacy.

"Huff…"

Hearing Ye Xu’s confirmation, the heavy weight on Li Ruoyu’s heart finally lifted.

Ever since the day he received the legacy, he had been constantly anxious.

After all, tales of top experts nurturing talented descendants only to devour them for breakthroughs to higher realms, Li Ruoyu had heard of and even witnessed firsthand.

He was also afraid he might become a reared gu insect.

"Since there’s nothing to fear anymore, then I can dedicate myself wholly to cultivation," Li Ruoyu said with a smile.

His cultivation had long reached the Peak of Nine Tribulations Dao Lord; advancing to Dao Sovereign was a natural step, yet precisely because of this worry, he had suppressed his own strength.

Having dispelled all future troubles, he could now proceed to become a Dao Sovereign.

"Breaking through to Dao Sovereign is straightforward."

Ye Xu remarked with a smile, "I can provide you with a cultivation ground offering round-the-clock, all-encompassing protection. Guaranteed uninterrupted solitude."

Li Ruoyu pondered; Ye Xu’s proposal seemed favorable.

As all knew, Heaven’s Secret Pavilion ranked foremost among the world’s forbidden zones. Even a Great Celestial Lord dared not act recklessly there, ensuring absolute security.

"Master, what’s the fee?"

Li Ruoyu tested the waters.

"Affordable."

Ye Xu waved a hand, saying, "We’re old friends. Merely one hundred million divine stones per day. Stay a month, and I’ll charge you two billion."

"Then I’ll settle for a month."

Li Ruoyu took a deep breath, flicked his sleeve, and two billion divine stones flew from his Purple Palace into Ye Xu’s pocket.

"Daoist friend, once you advance to Dao Sovereign, I can further offer you a matching Secret Realm. Paired with the Celestial Lord’s legacy, you’ll swiftly rise through five tribulations, even reach the Celestial Lord Realm!"

Ye Xu coaxed patiently.

It was the full-package service.

Li Ruoyu’s cheek twitched.

Plainly, Ye Xu eyed his newfound fortune, scheming to drain him dry bit by bit.

"We’ll negotiate that later," Li Ruoyu forced a hollow laugh. His immediate priority was ascending to Dao Sovereign and unlocking the legacy’s full potential.

Swoosh!

A thought stirred within Ye Xu. A time-space passage surged open, unleashing a pull that swallowed Li Ruoyu whole, whisking him to a shrine behind Heaven’s Secret Pavilion.

Having seen Li Ruoyu off, Ye Xu’s eyes gleamed sharply.

"Nearly forgot to activate the Time and Space domain for him."

Flick!

With a snap of his finger, a beam of light pierced Li Ruoyu’s time-space chamber, altering the flow of time at a ten-to-one ratio.

Thus, three days of cultivation within the Time and Space domain was equivalent to thirty days—precisely one month.

Yet, the time-space domain wasn’t infallible.

Its temporal adjustment weakened noticeably against cultivators of greater power.

"By fully draining Li Ruoyu’s legacy dry, I could likely ascend step by step to the Celestial Lord Realm myself."

"That fellow’s now a major client indeed…"

On this very day, Li Ruoyu truly held his head high with pride.
