Shadow Hack

Chapter 966: An Ancient Secret

At that moment, Xiao Rong was thinking that he had already dealt with Li Yunmu and was busy looking at the ocean monarch stones. He could feel an enormous amount of energy accumulated within them.

Out of nowhere then, he sensed a ferocious hostile intent coming toward him. He turned around and saw a long black dragon rushing straight at him. On top of that, its presence was even more formidable compared to that of the previous attack.

It hadn’t even crossed Xiao Rong’s mind that after he offered such beneficial conditions and even agreed to share his women that the youngster wouldn’t appreciate his kindness. When they left, he had to ask his father to turn the unfamiliar youth into mincemeat!

While he was thinking about it, he took out another charm, which was identical to the previous one. It was quickly destroyed and formed a golden shield around him.

Xiao Rong’s heart was aching badly. On the last trip to Yin Imperial Palace, he had obtained three charms in total. He had used one of them previously, and now that he came in contact with the unknown youth, he was forced to use the remaining two charms.

His hatred for Li Yunmu became even deeper as the attack hit his defensive shield and dissipated like before.

Li Yunmu had planned to launch another attack after that, but he hadn’t expected that the first holy son would spring away like a rabbit and escape suddenly, leaving behind the women he had bought with him.

At that moment, they all turned deathly pale and looked at Li Yunmu with frightened expressions. Even the first holy son of Ryukyu Small World wasn’t his opponent, so what could they do?

They were afraid that Li Yunmu would casually dispose of them, and one of the women knelt on the ground and kowtowed while trembling. “Lord, please don’t kill me. I am willing to serve lord for eternity.”

When the other women saw this, they also followed suit.

Li Yunmu looked at them and saw that all of them were in the heavenly tribulation realm, but they were ready to turn into his property to save their lives. It was the cruelty of the cultivation world.

“Stand up. I am not interested in your bodies. Do you all want revenge though?”

Li Yunmu naturally wouldn’t be interested in ordinary oil and common powder, but he could collect them into his heavenly world.

The women looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of ‘revenge’ which he had mentioned. But in order to live, they hurriedly said, “I am willing!”

Li Yunmu faintly smiled and waved his hand to collect them into his heavenly world. Then, he also entered inside and arranged for the women to stay by the side of the box in which the gods were imprisoned.

The women could sense a powerful might from the imprisoned people. Their expressions changed again, since they hadn’t expected that Li Yunmu would be so formidable that he could capture such powerful people.

After seeing that, the women abandoned all the small schemes they had thought to use. They realized that even if they cultivated for a lifetime, they wouldn’t be able to fight Li Yunmu.

Once they sincerely surrendered, Li Yunmu said,”You all cultivate here, in my world. After some time, Xiao Rong will join you. Until then, you can think about how you’re going to take your revenge.”

“This lowly one understands.”

Soon after, Li Yunmu retreated from the heavenly world. He then returned to the Solitary Ignition Sword. He went along the chains and collected the ocean monarch stones into his heavenly world, then examined the four iron chains and collected them as well.

The Solitary Ignition Sword, which wasn’t being subdued anymore, began to tremble at that moment. It also released a heaven-defying killing intent.

Li Yunmu felt that the sword spirit was about to awaken, so he hurriedly took hold of the sword hilt.

Gloom, vengeance, and killing intent rushed into his mind, but a brilliant radiance erupted from his body at the same time, as his experience points and space elements were sapped away to resist the sword spirit.

The sword spirit was a very famous Crown Prince Chang Qin, who was the son of Fire God Zhurong. He had gone to Buzhou Mountain to capture the black dragon, but was betrayed by his close friend water snake Qian Yu.

Forgetting my kindness and causing the Buzhou Mountain to collapse… You stole my immortal status and partitioned my soul, which I can’t forgive! If I get the opportunity, I will definitely take revenge!

Although the resentment of the sword spirit was suppressed by the system, it continued howling in Li Yunmu’s mind. However, he continued pouring in experience points and space elements until it was sealed again.

Once it was over, it left behind its experiences of a lifetime together with its resentment in Li Yunmu’s mind.

Li Yunmu closed his eyes and digested Chang Qin’s experiences. IN the end, he shook his head. The spirit could be considered a pitiful person, so since it had to follow Li Yunmu, he would certainly get revenge for Chang Qin if he ever got the opportunity.

A voice echoed in Li Yunmu’s mind.

[Article Obtained: Solitary Ignition Sword (sealed)

[Grade: SSS

[Ability: solitary ignition baleful energy, Devil Burning Epoch (sealed)

[Note: this sword is extremely formidable. Only remove the seal after host’s strength has reached the corresponding level.]

[I hadn’t expected that you would be able to obtain it!] the system said in astonishment.

“What’s the deal with this sword?” Li Yunmu asked the system after some thought.

[Truthfully speaking, I also don’t know!] the system said helplessly.

“Don’t tell me, there’s really something you don’t know? This sword spirit is called Chang Qin, and he is the son of god of fire. But Zhurong was only a trifling ancient god, so why is he known as a god of ancient times? Furthermore, how did this sword become a sovereign weapon?”

All of a sudden, many questions appeared in Li Yunmu’s heart. He had killed the fire god and even his master Nuwa with his own hands. So why when the soul of Zhurong’s son was poured into a weapon, that weapon became so formidable? The progression of events left Li Yunmu completely puzzled.

“That Zhurong was only a creature like your shadows, a projection. The true god of fire was much more formidable compared to Zhurong.”

Li Yunmu was stunned. Was there another Zhurong in the world? Then how many Nuwas were there? What about Fuxi? Furthermore, what about the Primordial God World destroyed by him?

The system knew that Li Yunmu wouldn’t be able to accept it, but when all was said and done, it was an ancient secret. The number of people who knew it could be counted on one hand.

The system paused for a moment, then continued, [The real Primordial God World isn’t in this star field, and the people of that place are existences comparable to me and some are even more formidable than me!]

Hiss…

Li Yunmu felt a chill run down his spine. The system had given him a great surprise. He hadn’t expected that it would say something like that— that after suffering untold hardships, what he destroyed was only the projection of the Primordial God World and nothing more.

[I will not tell you anything more than you should now. They aren’t people whom you can come in contact with for now!]

Li Yunmu sneered at that. “Then when will I be able? After I become an emperor? Or a sovereign?”

[When the time comes, I will naturally tell you. Also, I am somewhat tired now. Don’t call me before you find the emperor’s goblet…] the system said. It knew that the matter left Li Yunmu in shock, but it could not be changed.

When he thought he had reached the peak, it came and told him, “Congratulations for becoming an ant”.

How could he not be angered by something like that? So the system had to give him some time to calm himself.
