CHAPTER 1001: CHAPTER 991: SEEKING HELP

Cultivating his self-created Six Desires Hongmeng Heavenly Skill, using the Seven Emotions and Six Desires to attain enlightenment, whether it’s the speed of cultivation or the actual combat power, Chen Hai is very satisfied.

The only thing that leaves him a bit dissatisfied is that cultivating this method greatly magnifies his personal desires.

Be it lust or gluttony, they can all be classified under the Six Desires of humans.

After just eating one Bodhi Fruit and finding the taste fairly enjoyable, Chen Hai suddenly felt an odd impulse to stuff the entire plate of fruits into his mouth.

Without a doubt, this was surely a true reflection of his infinitely magnified Six Desires.

However, fortunately, Chen Hai exercised restraint. After taking a deep breath, he only ate half of the Bodhi Fruit on the plate in Shi Qingying’s hand before stopping, forcibly suppressing his desire for food.

"Yu Ji, Ying, I seem to remember this Bodhi Fruit is one of the treasured items you have in Yuxiang Garden."

"The last time I was here, upon hearing about the Bodhi Fruit, you reluctantly gave me two of them."

"This time, not only did you initiate things in the underground chamber, but you also rarely offered such a plate of Bodhi Fruits back in the parlor to entertain me."

"Such eagerness must mean there’s something up!"

"Be honest, have you encountered some difficulty and are seeking my assistance?"

...

Lady Yuji and Shi Qingying brought out the best Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Wine to entertain Chen Hai.

After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Chen Hai felt his previously depleted physical and mental energy completely replenished, returning to peak state. Even if he were to battle the two women for several more two-hour periods, it would be no problem.

Yet, he was not the type to indulge carelessly; even when diving into desires, he retained a sharp awareness.

Lady Yuji and Shi Qingying’s fawning was uncharacteristically deliberate compared to their past selves.

Noticing this strangeness, Chen Hai furrowed his brows slightly and directly inquired of the two women.

"Chen Hai, do you remember my senior disciple, Li Huachun?" Lady Yuji didn’t respond directly, instead posing the question with a hint of deeper meaning.

"Li Huachun?" Chen Hai nodded with a smile, "Of course I remember him. After all, when you visited Golden Dawn Island, there were only a few disciples with you."

"Among several women, there was this one sizeable man—Li Huachun. It was impossible not to notice him."

"I recall you saying that apart from Ying, Li Huachun and two other female disciples left Yuxiang Garden to establish themselves independently."

"Though they’ve developed well over the years, it’s been many years since they returned to Yuxiang Garden."

"Why would you suddenly bring up Li Huachun? Could it be related to what you intend to discuss?"

With a nonchalant demeanor, Chen Hai casually asked.

In his impression, Li Huachun was but an initial-stage Daluo Golden Immortal.

On Golden Dawn Island within the Grotto Heaven, once his disciples step into Daluo, their strength sees little progress.

If that’s their predicament, then the lack of mystical laws in the Grotto Heaven would undoubtedly trouble Li Huachun more greatly.

Without surprises, having resided on the island for thousands of years, his strength should not have progressed.

Perhaps Li Huachun and the other two female disciples from Lady Yuji’s tutelage chose to leave Yuxiang Garden because their capabilities were stuck, unable to progress further.

"Lady Yuji suddenly mentioning Li Huachun, could it be that this person also desires, like my disciples, to leave Golden Dawn Island and return to the Primordial Land?" In that instant, such a thought surfaced in Chen Hai’s mind.

If what Yuji wants to discuss is indeed this matter, since she’s brought it up, he would certainly not refuse.

Although making a special trip to return someone from Golden Dawn Island to the Primordial Land is a bit troublesome, Chen Hai had previously made a return to the Primordial Land to release the Heart Unity Bird.

Given the relationship between Yu Ji and himself, helping her with this small task wouldn’t be a big deal!

"It’s good that you remember him. What I want to discuss is indeed somewhat related to him."

Lady Yuji, observing Chen Hai’s consistent demeanor, spoke again with a smile: "Supreme Xuanyuan’s lingering spirit is constant. Ying and I have changed our Tao Path, so he can no longer sense us."

"But my senior disciple Li Huachun hasn’t learned from Immortal Mountain or participated in your teachings. His inheritance’s Basic Method still originates from the Demon Palace."

"Just a few days ago, he came to me at Yuxiang Garden. From what he explained, Xuanyuan’s Magic Decree is surfacing with signs and may soon fall upon him."

"I was deeply affected by that Magic Decree, and you managed to resolve it for me. Huachun’s decree hasn’t fully descended; with your ability, dealing with the potential issue shouldn’t be too problematic!"

"Considering the rapport between Ying and me, would you lend a hand to assist him?"

While speaking, she watched Chen Hai’s reactions carefully.

Seeing his demeanor unchanged, Lady Yuji finally ventured to ask.

Beside her, Shi Qingying quickly added, "Senior brother is a good person. When I first joined under the master with weak strength, he took good care of me."

"Chen Hai, if you have a way, please help him this time!"

As the two women spoke one by one, Chen Hai’s brow furrowed even more tightly.

Matters involving Primordial Chaos Daluo levels are undoubtedly complicated.

The last time, dealing with Lady Yuji’s Magic Decree from Supreme Xuanyuan, he managed a clever solution, using a Heart Unity Bird to substitute.

Now, after over a hundred years, that little trick of his has likely already come to Xuanyuan’s attention.

Having learned from that mistake, Xuanyuan, being a Primordial Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, must have grown wiser.

With him on guard now, it would be much more challenging to employ the same method to transfer the Magic Decree from Li Huachun to a bird — success is an unlikely prospect!

After pondering this with a furrowed brow for a while, and seeing the hopeful expressions of Yu Ji and Shi Qingying, Chen Hai sighed, "Regarding Li Huachun’s matter, I can’t promise anything conclusively."

"Only after meeting him and understanding his current situation can I determine whether I can solve his issue."
