Vol 5 Chapter 30: Brother Kun, No

Several days later.

The battle for the Origin Sources came to an end.

News about this Origin Source competition began spreading rapidly throughout the Origin Realm.

"Finally found someone - humans."

Among the clouds, the Ancient Imperial Prince exhaled as he sat cross-legged on a dragon-patterned compass.

After arriving in the Origin Realm, he had lost his direction. Though he wanted to find human settlements, he could only sense threatening alien presences multiple times. Left with no choice, he had to first find a place to temporarily improve his cultivation before making further plans.

Until the day the Origin Sources appeared.

Seeing the glow of the Origin Sources, he thought it was an opportunity - the competition site would surely gather many cultivators, making it possible to find companions...

Unfortunately, the Ancient Imperial Prince wasn't fast enough. Before the glow of the Origin Sources dissipated, he still hadn't reached the location.

Fortunately, though he didn't reach the destination, he did successfully find human cultivators other than himself. Just as he was about to intercept these two people, he noticed they looked terrified, as if fleeing for their lives.

"Fellow Daoists..."

The Ancient Imperial Prince called out, but the two showed no intention of stopping. After a brief hesitation, he flew alongside them at the same speed to inquire.

"Fellow Daoists, what happened? Are you being pursued?"

"Who are you?"

Seeing someone shamelessly following them, the two fleeing cultivators didn't give the Ancient Imperial Prince a friendly look.

"I'm Lin Jing, just arrived in the Origin Realm recently. I wanted to ask about the location of the Cultivation Alliance." The Ancient Imperial Prince didn't give his real name, casually using an alias.

"You dare call yourself Lin Jing?" The two cultivators became even more displeased, rolling their eyes, thinking the Ancient Imperial Prince was making fun of them.

Ancient Imperial Prince: ?

Not angered, he directly tossed two bags of top-grade spirit stones to them. Seeing the spirit stones, the two realized the Ancient Imperial Prince was sincere and couldn't help but speed up while explaining: "Stop talking nonsense, we'll explain when we reach safety. That Mo Yu has gone completely mad with robbery."

"Absolutely must not let him catch us..."

"Mo Yu???" The Ancient Imperial Prince was stunned and continued following them to learn more.

"You just entered the Origin Realm, so you might not know. This Mo Yu is the successor of Demon Emperor Tianchou from the Heavenly Demon Sect, possessing demonic bloodline with terrifyingly powerful strength."

"You say your name is Lin Jing - true or false? Anyway, in the Origin Realm, there's another Lin Jing who's a favorite of Young Alliance Master Li Tianyi. Rumor has it the Young Alliance Master intends to cultivate him as a successor! But even such a person had his spirit beast instantly killed by Tianchou's successor with one sword strike during the recent Origin Source competition!"

"Now, no one knows where Lin Jing has fled to, which has made Mo Yu dissatisfied. He's gone completely mad everywhere. The two of us are fleeing desperately precisely to avoid being caught by him."

"What!!" The Ancient Imperial Prince's pupils contracted sharply. What? That freak Lin Jing's spirit beast was actually killed?

Is the Origin Realm this dangerous?

Wait.

Mo Yu... The Ancient Imperial Prince suddenly looked strange. Could this be one of his own incarnations?

After all, such a weird name didn't seem like something a normal person would come up with. That guy hadn't even named his own spirit beast - when forced to name an incarnation, he probably couldn't think of anything good.

"Fellow Daoists, could you take me to the Cultivation Alliance? Lin will surely repay you generously."

Similar situations to the Ancient Imperial Prince's were happening to other cultivators from the Tianyuan Realm. They had all failed to find human cultivators in a short time, ending up in various remote places without locating Xianlin City. But guided by the glow of the Origin Sources this time, they soon successfully found cultivators coming to compete for the Origin Sources.

And with speechless expressions, they learned about Lin Jing's battle achievements.

Not long after, Mo Yu, having plundered some resources, returned to his cave dwelling.

Although he failed to seize the newly formed Origin Source, he did successfully rob several spirits of considerable immortal energy, making the trip worthwhile.

Unfortunately later, these spirits gathered together, and he was truly no match, forced to retreat first.

"Failed to seize the Origin Source?"

After Mo Yu's return, not long after, Sacred Son Sheng Kun arrived outside his cave dwelling and spoke slowly.

Boom.

Opening the stone door of the cave dwelling, Mo Yu looked at Sheng Kun and said: "I've disappointed you, Sacred Son. I failed to accomplish what you entrusted to me. As for the 100 strands of immortal energy you gifted me, I'll gather and return them to you as soon as possible."

"Haha, what use do I have for you returning a hundred strands of immortal energy?" Sheng Kun entered the cave dwelling and spoke lightly: "Actually, it's not your fault."

"Managing to ambush and kill one of his spirit beasts, severing his connection to the Origin Source - you already had victory within grasp. But who could have expected that guy would have another spirit beast with spatial abilities surpassing ordinary Void Mystical Stage cultivators?"

"That spirit beast transported him an extremely far distance in just one breath, continuously changing over ten locations. Even with Heavenly Demon Crossing, it would be hard to track. This time, it's truly not your fault."

"Though you failed to seize the Origin Source, killing one of his spirit beasts already satisfies me greatly. Therefore, I'll still fulfill what I promised you."

"I'll help you become stronger!"

"Of course, not just for you, but also to help Senior Demon Emperor Tianchou recover faster."

A strange light flashed in Mo Yu's eyes.

"Thank you, Sacred Son." He couldn't help but feel moved, thinking the Heavenly Demon Sacred Son was quite decent.

Sheng Kun nodded. He had seen Mo Yu's potential and naturally wouldn't completely abandon the opportunity to win over Demon Emperor Tianchou just because of one failure.

"Actually, demonic bloodlines also have grades. Roughly, they can be divided into ordinary demon blood and royal demon blood. You, I, and those hundred-plus Seeking the Way demons in the Heavenly Demon Realm with demonic bloodlines - what we possess are all ordinary demon blood."

"Even at its peak, ordinary demon blood isn't truly a match for top-tier immortal physiques like the 'Chaotic Immortal Physique.' Yet I can fight Li Tianyi to a standstill. Do you know why?"

Mo Yu shook his head.

"Heh, I observe that you seem to have never performed soul usurpation, correct?!" Sheng Kun scrutinized Mo Yu: "But that's normal. Coming from a minor realm, you naturally couldn't maximize the advantages of the 'Heavenly Demon Scripture' before. The advantage of the 'Heavenly Demon Scripture' is its ability to perform perfect soul usurpation, even if the target is an immortal physique."

"The reason I can contend with Li Tianyi isn't because of perfected demonic bloodline, but because this body isn't my original - it was obtained through soul usurpation, an innate immortal physique body!"

"The combination of immortal physique and demonic bloodline is where my true strength lies!"

"So for you to grow stronger quickly is also simple - just usurp an 'innate immortal physique' and you'll naturally grow stronger rapidly. Moreover, has no one told you? Continuous soul usurpation can purify demonic bloodlines! I'll teach you a chant that can enhance bloodline strength during the usurpation process."

"Usurp an immortal physique?" Mo Yu was stunned.

"Yes. In this Origin Realm, immortal physique cultivators aren't rare. Finding a suitable immortal physique cultivator to usurp would only benefit you. For example, the Five Thunder Immortal Physique from the Cultivation Alliance's Administration Hall is a good choice, though the Five Thunder Immortal Physique still isn't strong enough..."

"Years ago, I captured an innate immortal physique cultivator from the Cultivation Alliance. That immortal physique's seniority surpasses even Li Tianyi's - a peerless genius who guarded the Origin Realm's Cultivation Alliance before Li Tianyi. Now, that immortal physique cultivator is sealed by me in a crystal. If you don't mind, I'll gift you this 'Innate Limitless Immortal Physique.'" Sheng Kun spoke seriously: "I hope after usurping it, next time you can kill that Longevity Body."

Hearing this, Mo Yu's heart pounded.

Innate Limitless Immortal Physique!

But when Sheng Kun took out an exquisitely beautiful fairy sealed in transparent amber, Mo Yu fell into deep thought.

"I'll protect you during the process. Change bodies now."

"A woman? Sacred Son, no thank you."
