CHAPTER 570: CHAPTER 545 PERFECTION!

Dark Night Saint Venerable withdrew his gaze.

He continued to sit cross-legged, like a sculpture, lost in thought.

"What exactly is it?"

"Where is the method to pass the trial?"

"How can the golden dragons be enslaved?"

Dark Night Saint Venerable pondered deeply.

It must be said, the talent of Dark Night Saint Venerable in comprehension is indeed monstrous, a rare genius throughout the ages.

Even Wang Xu, in terms of talent, was far inferior to him.

But in this trial, it was precisely this strong advantage that cost him the opportunity.

Even before entering the Profound Dragon Room, Dark Night Saint Venerable had already achieved the Perfection of Realm Power and Power of Laws.

Then, relying on the cultivation of "Zheng", his soul power also approached Perfection, greatly enhancing his strength, making him even more arrogant.

It can be said he never encountered any difficulties and rarely fell into unsolvable confusion.

He could sense that the Sixth Level of "Zheng" was not Perfection; this Chaos Primordial Technique had not yet reached its proper limit.

But even so, Dark Night Saint Venerable would, by inertial thinking, like everyone else, believe that above the Sixth Level, there exists a Seventh Level.

He would never think that what was lacking was not the realm, but a path of his own.

"Where exactly is the deficiency?"

Dark Night Saint Venerable continued to ponder deeply.

Wang Xu, however, enjoyed his freedom.

...

"Haha! Come chase me if you can!" Wang Xu laughed, waving to the ten ferocious golden dragons.

Roar!

Roar!

The golden dragons, provoked, let out angry roars.

They all rushed forward, wanting to kill this arrogant being.

But when their dragon tails and claws landed, Wang Xu’s black-robed figure had already disappeared.

"Little fellows, I’m over here!"

Wang Xu tugged a golden dragon’s tail, laughing.

Roar!

Seeing Wang Xu, the golden dragons were furious, rushing once again.

But given Wang Xu’s current body technique speed, how could they compare?

They couldn’t even touch a corner of Wang Xu’s clothes, let alone kill him.

"Wang Xu, you’ve been playing this game for years; it’s really meaningless. Just kill them all with one palm; I want a feast!" You Ji said, frustrated.

When the Law Realm reached the Inverse Pole, Wang Xu began to comprehend "Zheng."

But after only a few days of comprehension, he suddenly had an idea to play hide and seek with these golden dragons.

And this game lasted for years.

Ten golden dragons chased endlessly, yet they could not touch Wang Xu.

Wang Xu, however, enjoyed it immensely.

"Alright, let’s stop playing."

Wang Xu stopped in the distance, his face initially wearing a sunny and cheerful smile, suddenly turned gloomy.

The air was filled with blood, and the intense killing intent transformed into sharp blades, intimidating all who beheld it.

"Die." Wang Xu, with a drastic change in expression, coldly uttered a single word.

Boom!

A giant golden palm came crashing down, killing the ten golden dragons on the spot.

With one palm, ten golden dragons were slain!

This is the great power Wang Xu gained from the Inverse Pole Law, with three forces approaching Perfection.

"Wang Xu, what’s wrong with you?" You Ji didn’t hurry to devour the ten dead golden dragons but instead frowned and asked.

"What do you mean what’s wrong?"

Wang Xu’s expression returned to normal, neither smiling like the spring breeze nor cold like a devil, back to being ordinary.

"I feel your personality differences are becoming more pronounced."

You Ji slowly said, "Sometimes, you seem like someone without any worries, with a constant smile on your face."

"But sometimes, you suddenly become filled with demonic nature, killing intent, and countless resentful blood lights burst forth from you."

"It seems that ever since your Law Realm reached the Inverse Pole, this change has become clearer."

"Is that so?"

Wang Xu curiously replied, "I have never noticed any change in myself."

Looking at Wang Xu, who seemed slightly "unfamiliar," You Ji’s heart was covered with a slight shadow.

Over the following centuries, this slight shadow in You Ji grew heavier.

"Haha... little fellows, we should coexist peacefully, shouldn’t we?"

Wang Xu smiled, pressing down ten golden dragons with one hand, while the other hand stroked the back of a golden dragon.

"Die! All of you die!"

Wang Xu’s eyes were filled with the aura of slaughter, his entire body entangled with crimson blood, transforming into tangible blood mist, the killing aura astonishing.

Until one day.

"Wang Xu, stop!"

You Ji shouted angrily, red-white flames engulfing the crazily slaughtering Wang Xu.

The blood mist and murderous aura filling the sky were completely swallowed by Gulping Silence.

Along with the Sacred and Ancestral Qi on Wang Xu, and many other Powers of Laws, were all absorbed by You Ji nearly to the point of exhaustion.

"Gulping Silence, what are you doing!" Even though Gulping Silence could swallow the blood mist and murderous aura, it couldn’t extinguish the killing intent and fury in Wang Xu’s eyes.

"You’ve been consumed by darkness! If you aren’t stopped, your soul will eventually fall into the demonic nature and be dominated by it!" You Ji said.

With most of his power source absorbed by You Ji, Wang Xu became extremely weak.

But even so, he kept shouting, "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!", completely unable to extricate himself from the situation.

In the end, You Ji had to absorb all of his power, putting Wang Xu into a deep sleep.

"Alas..."

You Ji sighed, placing Wang Xu’s body back on the island, "After all these years of slaughter, bearing such enormous resentment from living beings, your soul has been affected."

Wang Xu becoming like this, You Ji knew the reason.

Chaos nurtures life, originally meant for beings to live well until their life ends, and their souls go to the Ganges River, ultimately through reincarnation to another chaos.

Just like this, continuously circulating, like a clock, constantly turning.

However, the appearance of slaughter is equivalent to forcibly ending the life of a being, disrupting everything, and the resentment within the soul will "assault" the slayer.

This assault is like a moth to a flame, its effect so minimal it’s almost uncountable.

But when these minimal numbers accumulate into a cocoon, at some moment, it will burst out, affecting the soul.

Wang Xu’s Reversal Law made him touch this point, causing the "cocoon" to break open, impacting his soul.

Now, at least half of Wang Xu’s soul is filled with demonic nature.

That’s why he appears both righteous and evil, sometimes smiling and sometimes looking murderous.

"Sleep, I will slowly improve your soul, removing all demonic nature. When you awaken, you will no longer be troubled by it." You Ji said softly.

...

Wang Xu had a long dream.

He dreamt that he was a scholar, poor and destitute, yet determined to become the top scholar and return home in glory.

Who would have expected that, instead of becoming the top scholar, he suddenly heard of a great change at home.

His whole family was dead.

His character drastically changed, becoming demonic, cultivating martial arts, roaming the martial world for thirty years, with countless blood on his hands.

Finally, one day, he was cornered by many martial artists at the edge of a cliff.

In that battle, Wang Xu fought till the sky turned dark, the sun and moon lost their light, and rivers of blood flew.

But in the end, he also walked towards death.

As he fell off the cliff, he looked up at the sky and saw an incredibly dazzling, familiar, and kind light.

That light seemed to be the origin of everything, capable of enveloping all things, making him feel unprecedented warmth.

Wang Xu smiled and slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, a voice sounded in his ear.

"Wake up, Wang Xu."

Splash!

Wang Xu suddenly opened his eyes, sprang up, and his hands still made a motion of gripping a knife.

"You... You Ji?" Countless images came to his mind, memories returned, and Wang Xu, realizing from that profound dream, suddenly woke up.

"Asleep for three million years, you’ve finally awakened." You Ji lazily said.

"I slept for three million years?"

Wang Xu was shocked; he remembered that only a few decades had passed in the dream, yet in the outside world, three million years had already gone by.

"What else? The demonic nature in your heart was deeply rooted, if I hadn’t spent three million years, there was no way I could eliminate all the demonic nature!" You Ji said, "Now it’s good, you’ve returned to normal."

Wang Xu froze a little.

He distinctly remembered, before falling asleep, You Ji used flames to envelop him, constantly absorbing his Ancestral and Sacred Qi, Power of Laws, causing him to become extremely weak.

"Was I possessed by darkness?" But regarding his murderous appearance, filled with fury, Wang Xu was only left with hazy memories.

"Whether possessed or not is no longer important. You’ve slept for three million years, it’s about time you start understanding ’Zheng’. Look at Dark Night Saint Venerable, he had already found the key point two million years ago and began comprehending ’Zheng’. If you don’t catch up, the Great Emperor’s Treasure will be taken by him!" You Ji said.

Hearing this, Wang Xu started.

Dark Night Saint Venerable already found the key point?

Looking over, Dark Night Saint Venerable still sat cross-legged in the same place, like an old monk in meditation, unmoving.

But two million years ago, he suddenly went to the Dragon Circle, and challenged once again.

It was precisely that challenge that allowed Dark Night Saint Venerable to truly find where ’Zheng’ was lacking.

"Dark Night Saint Venerable is extremely talented, I can’t waste another moment." Wang Xu immediately sat down, intending to enter ’Zheng’’s cultivation.

However, just as Wang Xu was getting immersed in ’Zheng’, he suddenly froze.

"Wang Xu, what’s wrong with you now?" You Ji noticed Wang Xu still in place and couldn’t help but ask.

"’Zheng’... seems to have already reached Perfection..."

The clear path, completely perfected, the previously always incomplete realm, now fully filled!

"’Zheng’ has reached Perfection?" You Ji was wide-eyed.

’Zheng’ is a Chaos Primordial Technique, not an Inverse Pole Realm. Saying you have good luck doesn’t mean you can immediately comprehend it, it at least requires a period of understanding and experience to grasp its wonders.

Yet, after Wang Xu slept for three million years, upon waking up, ’Zheng’’s realm surprisingly reached Perfection.

In an instant, You Ji immediately reacted.

"Great! Perfection is good! Go quickly challenge it, the Great Emperor’s Treasure is ours now! Haha!" You Ji exclaimed excitedly.

Wang Xu took a deep breath: "Let’s try it."

Immediately, his figure soared, arriving before the Dragon Circle.

"Lan Ji, I want to challenge!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendation tickets, and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
