LRAB Chapter 1 Oh no, I've become a talent of the Ruthless Clan!
Chapter 1 Oh no, I've become a talent of the Ruthless Clan!
A giant golden bird swept across the ancient blue sky, casting a vast shadow like ink on the verdant, wild land.
The sun rises to its zenith, glorious and intense, guarding this scorching world.
An old stone tablet stands crookedly in the weeds, bearing the words "Ancient Forbidden Zone".
Not far from the stone tablet, in the dense forest, a graceful young woman dressed in blue turned to the young man behind her and reminded him:
"Senior Brother Yuan, we can't go any further. Ahead lies the [Ancient Forbidden Zone]. Once we step into it, our life force will be drained in an instant."
"Hmm." Yuan Qingsu nodded slightly.
The boy was dressed in white, with his black hair flowing down to his shoulders. His appearance was extremely simple, like a drop of dew, reflecting endless charm in the sunlight.
He was handsome and refined, like a god.
Since losing contact with the Main God Space, he, as a reincarnator, has been in the trilogy world for over a month, and Yuan Qingsu has a general understanding of his current situation.
He wouldn't have come here if he hadn't been forced to.
But in the current situation, the only way out is to fight to the death.
After lingering briefly on the desolate forbidden zone and observing the sacred mountain within for a while, Yuan Qingsu sighed and said to the girl, "Junior Sister Weiwei, thank you for leading the way. I will cultivate here for two days and appreciate the scenery of this forbidden zone before guiding you into the [Yaoguang Sacred Land]."
"Alright, Senior Brother Yuan, I'll come find you in two days." Weiwei tactfully turned and left.
After taking a couple of steps, she couldn't help but stop and look again at Yuan Qingsu's back in front of the desolate forbidden zone.
Undeniably, this senior brother was very handsome. When he first arrived at Lingxu Cave Heaven as the guide of Yaoguang Holy Land, several female disciples were so eager to have his babies.
But Vivi is not such a superficial woman.
The reason she stopped was because she was born with the "Celestial Eyes" that allowed her to see through a person's true nature.
In Weiwei's sight, within Yuan Qingsu's extraordinary body, two soul shadows overlapped, seemingly two souls, yet not a possession. One soul enveloped the other, both radiating an aura of the same origin.
Two souls in one body? That's truly special... Weiwei was worried about being discovered peeking from behind, so she quickly glanced at him twice and left without looking back.
After the girl's aura disappeared behind her, Yuan Qingsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the girl with the innate divine eyes had probably sensed something, but she didn't pay any attention to it and walked towards the nine mountain peaks, each planted with a sacred herb.
As soon as you step inside, a terrifying aura descends upon you.
This is the power of "wilderness"!
Even if the peerless emperor of Zhongzhou came with his legendary holy armor, entering this place would still be a path of no return.
Moreover, there's Yuan Qingsu now.
Swish!
Under the invisible and intangible power, the two great secret realms of "Sea of Wheels" and "Dao Palace" in his body closed one after another, and his cultivation was completely wiped out.
The power of time seeped in through Yuan Qingsu's body, wrapping around his soul and bringing about aging and decay.
If nothing unexpected happens, in another dozen or so breaths, he will turn into the bones of this place.
"Door!"
Yuan Qingsu called out softly in his heart, and a door, shimmering with clear light, crystal clear and magnificent, composed of countless door-shaped symbols, suddenly rose from the depths of his consciousness.
This is something that appeared in his body after he left the Main God Space; it is mysterious and unpredictable.
A gentle touch with your mind will elicit a series of messages:
[The Gate of Ten Thousand Gates: The collection of all "gates" in the myriad realms and heavens within the Chaos Sea, capable of drawing upon the Dao to derive countless gates]
[Dimension: Shrouding the Sky]
[Host: Yuan Qingsu]
Sequence 1: Disciples (1/100)
[The Gate of All Time and Space (unlocked) can be opened using cause and effect, allowing you to travel through all the heavens and journey between the past and the future (Note: A ritual is required to leave the original world, cross the Chaos Sea, and enter another world within the Chaos Sea whose energy level is no less than that of the original world, drawing upon the cause and effect of the two worlds to forge a new world)]
[The Gate to the Human Body's Treasure Trove (Unlocked), First Derivative Gate: The Gate of 840 Million Particles: Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Force (Note: Requires a ceremony to be held in the [Ancient Forbidden Zone], one cultivation session, absorbing the "Other Self," and awakening particles with particles during the collision of the two souls)]
……
"The ancient forbidden zone has arrived; the ritual to unlock the treasures of the human body begins!"
The various scriptures flowed gently in Yuan Qingsu's heart. Following the steps provided by the gate, he began to perform the ritual, opening one of the countless treasures within the human body, drawing in the surging essence of heaven and earth to nourish every inch of his flesh and blood.
His whole body was glowing.
The power of time here is extremely terrifying. It should have turned Yuan Qingsu into bones in an instant, but because of the power of the [Gate], he successfully resisted part of the "Desolation" erosion. His physical body remained in a state between destruction and non-destruction. His white-haired, aging body's chest and abdomen rose and fell very weakly, like a candle in the wind, which would be extinguished at any time.
While the physical body survives, the soul is not so fortunate.
The original owner of this body, the "other self" external soul that Yuan Qingsu has not refined and absorbed since his transmigration, aged, decayed and shattered under the power of the wilderness, turning into countless tiny particles that intertwined with his divine soul.
At that moment, he truly absorbed "the other self"!
boom!
A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created, rang in Yuan Qingsu's ears. As the external soul dissolved and was absorbed, a deluge of fragmented memories, mixed with emotions, swept over her.
About seven or eight years ago, a mysterious and powerful cultivator secretly approached the Yuan family of the Eastern Wilderness Yan Kingdom and selected the original owner from this small family of cultivators.
The figure was shrouded in a black robe, his face obscured by the shadow of the hood. Two children of similar age accompanied him on either side. One of them looked delicate and adorable, even more pitiful than a little girl. He was holding a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), timid and fearful, hiding behind the mysterious figure, with only half of his face showing.
Another child, hailed as a "divine child" by the mysterious man, appeared intelligent and divine, far more radiant than the delicate and charming little piano prodigy.
As the saying goes, extraordinary children are born extraordinary, and this is probably true in general.
Despite his young age, he seemed like a child of God, his whole body radiating light, and every inch of his flesh and blood contained astonishing divine power.
"You are quite good. You have an extraordinary innate Daoist charm and an ethereal, almost immortal temperament, which is very similar to my lineage. I knew you were a talent the moment I saw you."
The man in black chuckled, raised his wide sleeve, and stretched out his withered hand to pinch Yuan Qingsu's chin, forcing him to look into his eyes. His dark pupils, devoid of white, were as deep as black holes, capable of captivating the souls of all beings: "If you don't want your whole family to be wiped out, don't struggle."
"You and this little musician are both destined to be sacrifices. The 'Demon Body' will lead to the 'Divine Embryo', just as the 'Devouring Heaven Demon Art' will lead to the 'Undying Heaven Art'. But any beings who dare to obstruct your rise will be crushed under the ultimate weapons."
He said, his voice seemingly drifting from the deepest hell, into the soul of Yuan Qingsu: "I won't put all my eggs in one basket. This kid stays in Taixuan, you come with me back to the Holy Land. One day, you will both become famous throughout the world as successors of the Devouring Heaven lineage."
"With the torch passed down, we will once again cultivate a great emperor!"
……
Amidst the fear brought on by this fragment of memory, the scene in Yuan Qingsu's mind shifted. The man in black robes disappeared, replaced by a secluded trial ground where a much older young musician stood opposite him, carrying an ancient zither on his back. His face, more handsome than a woman's, was filled with resentment: "I don't want my life to be manipulated like this. Qingsu, let's join forces. Let's use our demonic bodies to counterattack the divine embryo. He's only one person. If the two of us join forces, we'll definitely have a chance to succeed."
"Okay." He heard himself agree.
Soon, the two ten-year-old children joined forces, but were defeated by the radiant "divine child" boy and were slapped to the ground.
Standing beside the world's greatest miracle, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, he was able to get close to the ultimate weapon. Within the same realm, his divine potential was no weaker than that of an ancient emperor!
"Behave yourselves." He looked down at the two of them and said softly, "You are not worthy of being eaten by me. Work hard to cultivate, and I hope you will be delicious enough for me in the future."
This was a huge blow to both of them.
The black-robed man hiding behind the scenes nodded in satisfaction; this was the result of his intentional indulgence in raising the Gu worms.
The divine embryo proved his judgment with its own strength, and there was no problem with such training.
Faced with such a talented opponent, the young musician Hua Yunfei was deeply traumatized, and the original owner could only temporarily suppress his arrogance, but his resentment only intensified.
Then, the divine embryo and Hua Yunfei also disappeared. The scene changed again, with a shower of falling petals, sacred and extraordinary, as if a holy land of immortals was reflected from the fragments of the soul.
The spiritual energy here is abundant, and some of it has condensed directly into a pure source in the flowing water.
A beautiful young woman with long, shapely legs stood beneath a tree laden with pink peach blossoms, waving goodbye to Yuan Qingsu: "Goodbye, Qingsu, see you again."
"Ah Yao, I don't want to just leave like this." He heard himself say, his voice filled with youthful stubbornness.
"The sacred land of Yaochi is entirely populated by women; it is not appropriate for you to linger here."
"But... when can I come again? It's an arranged marriage, A-Yao, we've been betrothed since we were little..."
"Qingsu, disciples of Yaochi are forbidden from marrying. As the future Holy Maiden, I am even more required to remain chaste. Forget about me."
"I'm not reconciled..." He took a step closer, opened his arms, as if wanting to relive the warmth and softness of the past. In his manipulated life, this girl was once the only light, and he didn't want to lose her so badly.
"The Western Emperor Tower guards this sacred land, and no one is allowed to desecrate it. Don't do anything reckless." The girl took a step back and said softly, "It's just that fate is cruel. We were both chosen by the sacred land, but one of us entered Yao Guang and the other entered Yao Chi. My master has been very kind to me... You should leave."
"It's not like the Holy Maiden of Yaochi hasn't married outside the palace before!"
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Ah Yao, you love Yaochi, and you desire the position of Yaochi Saintess. When I attain enlightenment, I will conquer the entire Yaochi and offer it to you as a betrothal gift!"
"Qingsu, don't speak nonsense."
......
Amidst the rush of memories and emotions, and the resonance between souls, Yuan Qingsu introspectively illuminates himself and sees the treasure doors that should have been endlessly scattered throughout the human body being outlined one by one.
The core of this ritual is that the true self absorbs the other self by using the power of "wilderness"!
Rumble!
As the ritual progressed, and as the soul particles of the "other self" resonated with the soul particles that constituted the "true self" of the source purity, those doors to the human body's treasures came together and coalesced into a special door of potential.
This gate stands in an unfathomable place, indescribably majestic and imposing, possessing the red of human blood and qi, tinged with the gold of the most divine and sacred soul, and surrounded by a noble purple aura.
Yuan Qingsu's mind stood before this door. Through it, he saw his soul and spirit. The already opened Sea of Wheels Secret Realm and Dao Palace Secret Realm had all been refined into tiny particles, a total of 840 million particles. Each particle was a giant elephant embryo, yet to be awakened.
The 840 million giant elephant embryo reflected divine light, outlining a divine elephant behind Yuan Qingsu's head.
The divine elephant was so large that it was unbelievable; its head was like ten thousand mountains, and its nose was countless billions of miles long, sweeping across a star field.
Beneath the elephant's sturdy four legs, it tramples upon hellish prisons as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, filled with countless demons and devils, as dense as dust, wailing day and night, kneeling before judgment.
With Yuan Qingsu's will, 840 million particles vibrated, and the divine elephant stretched its limbs. Every bit of power in its body was mobilized and struck. As it raised its aged right hand, the illusory image of the divine elephant behind it also raised its trunk high. The two overlapped and, before they even fell, pressed down on the void in front of its right palm, causing it to distort slightly.
The supreme internal energy cultivation technique originally possessed within the myriad realms of the Chaos Sea remained incomparably powerful after transforming his talent.
