Chapter 501: Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Six: The Six Rhythms of Overturning the Origin_2

Simply put, it involves tempering skills by fusing the five elements within the body to create something like a "sixth element" akin to ice, thunder, or wind.

Upon thinking this, a glint of brilliance flashed in Xu Yuan’s eyes.

This cultivation technique would definitely be very suitable for Xiao Bai, but where did I acquire this technique again?

The Secret Realm? No, that’s not right.

A treasure chest in the wild? Also not right.

Dropped by a boss? That seems about right.

Having crossed over for a year now, the plethora of information from his previous life made it somewhat difficult for him to recall exactly which boss had dropped this particular technique.

Taking a long breath, Xu Yuan directly lifted the wine jug to his mouth for two gulps, pondering in his mind while he asked out loud,

"Qingyan, do you know of a cultivation technique called the Primordial Six Elements Secret?"

"I know."

"Never mind, you wouldn’t know—huh?"

Xu Yuan abruptly looked up at her, his eyes filled with a trace of surprise, "You know?"

Li Qingyan looked at him as if he were an idiot:

"My father, the Emperor, created it. Why wouldn’t I know about it?"

"..." Xu Yuan.

Okay, now he remembered.

This Primordial Six Elements Secret seemed to be a technique dropped by that bastard Xu Changge.

Xu Changge cultivated the sword path, which was quite different from this elemental technique, no wonder he had not remembered it earlier.

But this confirmed something for him— in the Cangyuan Chronicles, it must have been his old man’s doing; otherwise, Xu Changge wouldn’t have had this technique.

While pondering, Xu Yuan tentatively asked,

"So... Qingyan, could you help me ask our father for it?"

Li Qingyan stared at him with a helpless look and casually tossed a special book scroll onto the stone table:

"This is it."

Xu Yuan glanced at the technique doubtfully:

"Why do you have it?"

Li Qingyan gave him a white look:

"Is it strange for me to have a technique created by my father, the Emperor?"

"But this technique isn’t just sub-Grade A."

"When did I say the technique I’m giving you is sub-Grade A?"

"Haha...."

Xu Yuan chuckled awkwardly, reaching out to take the book scroll, but Li Qingyan’s slender forefinger pressed lightly against it, stopping him from moving it at all.

She looked at him with a mischievous smile,

"So, do you agree to the proposal I just made, Changtian?"

Xu Yuan coughed lightly:

"That technique, my father should also have a copy..."

"Then you can ask Minister Xu for it."

"Mu Xi, you’ll follow Qingyan for the next few days."

"...." Bai Muxi.

Li Qingyan gave a light hum and let go:

"Fine, it’s yours then."

Such a precious book of Grade A superior cultivation technique, almost priceless in the outside world, was casually given to him.

Xu Yuan stole a glance at the book scroll in his hand, approximately half an inch thick, and coughed lightly:

"Well, Qingyan, although Mu Xi is now entrusted to you, go easy on her. She’s actually quite...."

"There’s no need for Changtian to worry about how I teach her."

Li Qingyan cast a sideways glance at Bai Muxi, who was cowering in her room too scared to come out, and declared loudly: "Starting today, you will follow me, Bai Muxi. I will teach you the etiquette of Great Yan step by step."

Bai Muxi blinked, peeking desperately at Xu Yuan through the door’s crack for help.

In a fleeting glance, Xu Yuan looked up at the sky.

"...Yes," came Bai Muxi’s careful voice from behind the door.

Seeing this, Li Qingyan’s lips curled slightly as she glanced at Xu Yuan, who was still looking skyward, and teased:

"Enough of that, what are you looking at? The sky is so dark, what can you see with your level of cultivation?"

"Ahem."

Xu Yuan, slightly embarrassed, turned his gaze back and changed the subject, "By the way, Qingyan, why did you suddenly come back?"

At this question, Li Qingyan’s fiery eyes flickered with a dangerous air:

"What, I can’t come back?"

Damn, he seemed to have stepped on a landmine.

Without any change in expression, yet with a hint of amusement, Xu Yuan responded,

"What’s the matter, I was just curious about the Barbarian King’s situation. Why are you getting angry? Didn’t Chi Su leave behind any contingencies with his corpse?"

Li Qingyan gave him a deep look and said without pressing further:

"I came back precisely because of that matter."

As she spoke,

Li Qingyan suddenly turned her gaze to the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant hanging around Xu Yuan’s neck:

"Senior, there was something odd about the Barbarian King’s corpse; it seemed to be shrouded in some kind of aura. Do you perhaps know what it is?"

"It’s most likely the remnants of the Sacred Origin from an undissipated Saint."

The voice of Luo Xiran sounded, and he materialized beside them, looking in the direction where the Barbarian King had fallen, he casually said, "Actually, Your Highness, there’s no need to worry too much. That Barbarian King had only just entered the Saint realm; it hadn’t been long, and he hadn’t adapted to many aspects of a Saint’s body, at his level he probably didn’t know how to use many Saint techniques."

"Is that so..."

Li Qingyan muttered, then asked, "So, there’s no danger in approaching him?"

Xu Yuan suddenly spoke up with a suggestion:

"Qingyan, your injuries haven’t healed yet, it’s best to wait a bit longer."

Luo Xiran, obviously still angry at his previous remark, spoke sharply:

"Can you, little devil, stop butting in?"

Xu Yuan’s eyes flashed, and then he chuckled softly:

"Alright, since you say so, this young master won’t butt in next time."

Luo Xiran huffed lightly and, realizing something, her face turned slightly red. She clenched her fists while staring at Xu Yuan:

"You impudent brat, truly... truly disrespectful!"

"...."

Xu Yuan tilted his head, looking puzzled, and opened his mouth:

"Huh?"

"..." Luo Xiran.

With sincere confusion, Xu Yuan continued to ask:

"You told me not to butt in, and I didn’t--so why are you angry?"

"...."

Luo Xiran’s delicate body, wrapped in a lake-blue palace dress, trembled slightly, her face flushing with anger that left her speechless each time she tried to voice her reproach.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan knew he hadn’t said anything wrong and was about to continue asserting himself when Li Qingyan gave him a cold side-eye:

"Changtian, our senior is discussing important matters right now."

With that, Li Qingyan offered Luo Xiran a cupped fist salute, "Senior, please forgive Changtian’s rudeness on my behalf...."

Xu Yuan murmured under his breath, "How was I being rude, when she told me not to interject...."

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, the stone table in front of him suddenly split into pieces without warning.

Xu Yuan immediately went silent.

The icy stares from both women made him feel like he might keel over at any moment.

Soul Cultivators have no rights.

Sigh!

Ignoring Xu Yuan, Luo Xiran exhaled softly, speaking in a low voice:

"Since the Barbarian King’s Sacred Origin has not yet dissipated, I might as well accompany your highness to take a look. If there is any danger, I should be able to lend some assistance."

Li Qingyan promptly thanked her with politeness:

"Qingyan is grateful to you, senior."

As soon as she finished speaking, however, neither of them seemed ready to leave immediately, instead turning their gazes back to the exceptionally well-behaved Xu Yuan.

Feeling unnerved by their stares, Xu Yuan coughed softly and asked in a low voice:

"Er... what’s the matter?"

Luo Xiran didn’t respond to him, and neither did Li Qingyan; the two women just continued their conversation.

"Senior, shouldn’t we take Changtian with us?"

"Hmm... Although the kid is a chatterbox, we should still bring him along; he’s too weak."

"Indeed, Changtian’s cultivation is weak, and even though Si Ming is a Third Grade Grandmaster, her Cultivation Technique is rather poor."

At this point, Li Qingyan’s tone grew firmer: "If there’s a traitor in the army, I doubt she can fulfill her ’protective’ duties. Leaving the two of them here alone, I wouldn’t be at ease."

"...." Xu Yuan.

"...." Bai Muxi.

Without any further discussion, as a former Mortal Transcendence Cultivator, Xu Yuan was directly taken away by the two women, leaving only Xiao Bai alone in the side room...

.....

The spot where Chi Su’s body fell is located in the southern center of the Barbarian Tribe Holy City.

Although the Saint has died, his formidable presence remains.

Even in death, his fall turned the surrounding buildings within hundreds of yards to rubble, creating a huge pit within the Holy City.

At the edge of the pit, gazing inward, an headless skeleton lay serenely at the center.

Li Qingyan and Luo Xiran kept their eyes unblinkingly on Chi Su’s corpse, while Xu Yuan, somewhat bored, surveyed the surroundings.

Unexpectedly, there were no guards around.

Of course, it might also be that Xu Yuan, with his Soul Condensation cultivation, could not detect higher-level cultivators.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan suddenly asked out loud, "Qingyan, haven’t you arranged for high-level cultivators to stand guard here?"

Li Qingyan glanced at him and said:

"Isn’t this because a certain person’s cultivation fell from Mortal Transcendence to Soul Condensation? If someone were to see, they might become suspicious of the Prince Consort in my imperial family."

"..."

Xu Yuan gave a wry smile, but he actually felt a touch of concern in the princess’s words.

She was helping him conceal his identity.

"Thank you."

"Hmph."

Li Qingyan snorted softly and looked at Luo Xiran as she asked in a low voice:

"Senior, did the Barbarian King leave any tricks behind on his own corpse?"
