The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Before the old woman finished speaking, countless gray mists surged out from behind her and rushed towards Chu Xiu and his companions.

Chu Xiu frowned, but did not turn around. He only glanced at Xue Li beside him.

Xue Li nodded slightly, then flashed back, seemingly never having left Chu Xiu's side.

The old woman named Mo Yan stared blankly at her right arm lying on the ground, covering her mouth in disbelief, trying hard not to let out a painful scream.

Qiankun Realm...

It's definitely the Qiankun Realm!

The tall maidservant beside that kid was actually a cultivator at the Qiankun Realm!

This time, I've really messed with someone I shouldn't have messed with...

Mo Yan crouched down shakily, picked up her right arm that had been forcibly torn off, and bowed slightly towards Chu Xiu's back.

"...Thank you for sparing my life, young friend!"

Chu Xiu impatiently took out a piece of white jade from his storage space and tossed it to the old woman without turning around.

"This is my pass. If you still want to stop me, you'd better think twice before you try!"

After saying that, Chu Xiu led the three of them into the teleportation array without looking back.

He believed that the old woman, as an enforcement elder of the Demon Flame Sect, would certainly recognize the white jade that Ye Wujiang had personally given him.

And later, someone will surely return the white jade, so he doesn't need to worry about losing it.

The old woman stared blankly as Chu Xiu and the others disappeared into the teleportation array. As for the white jade in her hand, she only glanced at it out of the corner of her eye before recognizing it.

"It's...it's actually the young sect master..."

"I deserve to die..."

Mo Yan raised her old face and looked up at the sky, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Since the founding of the Demon Flame Sect, its leader, Ye Wujiang, has never appointed anyone to the position of Young Sect Master.

Although all the members of the Demon Flame Sect had seen this white jade, which symbolized the Demon Flame Sect's status as second only to its leader, it had always been ownerless.

But now... it has appeared in the hands of a young genius...

"I never imagined that he was the person those ten elders were talking about..."

"I must be getting old and my eyesight is failing me. How many Reincarnation Realm experts are there in this world at such a young age..."

Seeing their elder's ashen face, the Demon Flame Sect disciple hesitated for a long time before finally stepping forward.

"Elder... what... how should we handle this?"

"What should we do..."

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Mo Yan's eyes, which had been gradually darkening.

Yup!

The young sect leader's act of throwing the white jade to me was a clear indication of his identity, leaving me to handle the situation.

In other words, he still has the opportunity to deal with everything that happened before and after, and does not necessarily have to atone with his death!

Mo Yan burst into tears of joy. She quickly reattached her severed arm, leaped into the air, and flew straight towards the sect's territory.

Mo Yan knew she had to prevent what had happened before from happening again!

The young sect leader has entered the Heavenly-level Trading City. We must inform our colleagues in the Trading City and make sure that no one else repeats the same mistake!

After Chu Xiu brought the three women to the Heavenly-level Trading City, he handed over the head of the old man surnamed Mo, which was worth 1 billion magic crystals, to A Nu in his storage space. He then asked Xue Li and Bi Yu to go with him to exchange for the bounty and to stroll around the streets to pass the time.

Chu Xiu himself went to the largest restaurant in the Heavenly-level Trading City and spent ten million magic crystals to rent a small secluded cave for his own cultivation.

With ten days to go before the start of the trade fair, he planned to study the mysterious magic given to him by the Butterfly Queen, and then integrate the Void Spinning Technique and the Cross Void Breaking Technique to increase his means of survival.

After all, even if you're lucky enough to get a treasure, you still need to be alive to enjoy it.

Chu Xiu, inside his secluded cultivation cave, took out the jade given to him by the Butterfly Emperor.

Although it is described as jade, it is actually a broken jade pendant.

Even a straight man like Chu Xiu knew the meaning behind this jade pendant—a resolute decision.

If it were a token, Chu Xiu would suspect that the Butterfly Queen wanted to never see him again.

However, this jade pendant contains mysterious magical arts, so it cannot be judged solely by its appearance.

Chu Xiu fiddled with the jade pendant in his hand, then suddenly frowned.

The missing part of this jade pendant seems to have been intentional, and if you look closely, you can even faintly see the shadow of the missing part.

This jade pendant does not appear to be a jade jue, but rather a complete jade ring.

It's only because this jade ring is half real and half illusory that it appears incomplete...

Chu Xiu had a sudden inspiration. He used the power of the Heavenly Dao within his body to manipulate the causal power wrapped around the jade pendant. In an instant, a harmless golden light swept into his mind, and a melodious female voice rang in his ears:

"My name is Lu Wu, also known as Kaiming. I was once ordered by the Heavenly Emperor to oversee Kunlun Hill and the capital city below the Emperor's capital..."

"...However, foreign enemies approached, the Heavenly Court collapsed, and Kunlun was destroyed. Heaven granted me freedom and the Great Dao of the Demon God, leading my descendants to flee into the wilderness for refuge..."

"While observing the stars, I glimpsed a trace of the Great Dao of the Void. Borrowing the power of heaven and earth, I drew the bow of annihilation, condensed the arrow of slaughter, seized all creation, and slaughtered the enemies of the outer realms!"

"With one arrow, all the heavens will perish!"

"Any descendant of my demon race who hears these words may study this technique after reaching the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm..."

“Studying this technique may lead to the understanding of my great Dao—the Dao of the Demon God, which depends entirely on one’s own fortune.”

"Remember, this secret technique must never be passed on to outsiders, or you will be killed without mercy!"

Along with the words, what appeared were the demonic characters corresponding to the words, formed from the power of the stars.

Each word was formed from the power of a star.

Chu Xiu vaguely sensed that if he absorbed all the star power contained in these words, he could study the mysterious magic mentioned in the voice—the Heaven-Slaying Arrow!

“Lu Wu…isn’t that an ancient mythical beast? It’s actually the so-called demon god…”

"I never expected... that this mysterious and demonic technique is also a form of star magic..."

"No wonder the Butterfly Queen gifted it to me... However, this secret technique can only be comprehended by descendants of the demon race. How can I possibly learn it?"

For some reason, Chu Xiu unconsciously ignored certain things mentioned in the text. This subconscious behavior made him frown, but he didn't feel anything unusual.

Just as Chu Xiu was wondering what was going on, the words floated towards him.

At the same time, Chu Xiu's natal star chart appeared on its own, devouring all the stellar power contained in these words. As the words dissipated, the method of casting the Heaven-Slaying Arrow appeared in Chu Xiu's mind.

"Why am I able to study..."

Chu Xiu was taken aback: "Could it be that the ancient gods also possessed the bloodline of the demon race?"

The two hundred and four characters represent the power of two hundred and four stars, which can bring Chu Xiu the divine soul power of two hundred thousand years of cultivation, enough to allow his cultivation to take half the journey towards the Great Perfection of the Reincarnation Realm!

The power of the reversing stars contained in the ancient god's blood essence within him will also interact with his natal star chart.

While enhancing Chu Xiu's spiritual cultivation, the Natal Star Chart will also work in sync with the Reverse Star Technique to stimulate the power of the Ancient God's essence blood and enhance Chu Xiu's physical cultivation, thus making the two completely synchronized!

Chu Xiu examined himself in shock: "No wonder the ancient gods are hated by today's cultivators, and they will kill any descendant they encounter..."

"Such a growth rate and potential are truly enviable and even arousing resentment..."

Chu Xiu took a deep breath, suppressing the joy in his heart, and focused his mind to begin studying the Butterfly Queen's precious gift—the Demonic Mystic Art, the Heaven-Slaying Arrow.
