The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 277 - 244: Do You Trust Me?

Chu Huaixu quickly organized his thoughts.

If the Kunlun Cave Heaven’s lost fruit position exists in the Profound Yellow Realm, then there can only be one possibility.

"A cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage came to the Profound Yellow Realm and died here!"

The end of the immortal path in the Kunlun Cave Heaven can be described as one carrot, one hole. One fruit position, one Divinity Transformation.

Only with the death of a Divinity Transformation cultivator would there be an available position!

But cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage enjoy longevity, nearly living as long as the heavens and earth.

And it’s entirely impossible for a lower cultivator to subdue an upper one, killing a Divinity Transformation cultivator with just the power of a Nascent Soul.

To vacate a fruit position, unless—one Divinity Transformation wishes to kill another!

Of course, other circumstances might arise.

There is a phrase that goes, "death in all forms, Dao disappears."

In the Kunlun Cave Heaven, once a Divinity Transformation cultivator dies, even if their Primordial Spirit remains, the fruit position returns to the Heavenly Dao for Nascent Soul cultivators to compete for.

Once someone attains the fruit position, they can join the ranks of Divinity Transformation!

"But if a Divinity Transformation cultivator died in the Profound Yellow Realm..."

"Then it’s indeed possible for the fruit position to be trapped in the Profound Yellow Realm, unable to reintegrate into the Heavenly Dao of the Kunlun Cave Heaven," Chu Huaixu analyzed.

And he knew in his heart that just having the lost fruit position here in the Profound Yellow Realm was enough to drive the cultivators of Kunlun Cave Heaven to madness!

"Especially those in the Nascent Soul Stage!"

To put it simply, the root is still—the calamity of immortality!

"The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is already quite astonishing."

"But no matter how astonishing, it ultimately aligns with what Cao Cao wrote: Even the Divine Tortoise, though long-lived, will eventually meet its end."

"These old turtles, even if they live a thousand or several thousand years, they too will eventually die."

"But Divinity Transformation is truly akin to living as long as heaven and earth."

"For these cultivators longing for immortality, the allure is simply too great!"

"Moreover, attaining the fruit position means joining the ranks of Divinity Transformation, possessing power that stands at the pinnacle of the world, almost able to do as one pleases!"

Yet Chu Huaixu still couldn’t comprehend why a Divinity Transformation fruit position would appear in the Profound Yellow Realm?

"According to what I currently know, the cultivators of Kunlun Cave Heaven can only enter the Origin Spirit Realm."

"They cannot directly descend to the Profound Yellow Realm."

"Or rather, it’s their physical bodies that can’t."

"Their bodies cannot pass through the entrance of the Origin Spirit Realm in the Profound Yellow Realm."

"Because their strength essentially exceeds the rules and bounds of the Origin Spirit Realm, causing it to collapse."

"The Primordial Spirit, however, might sneak through..."

"So, in this situation, why was a Divinity Transformation able to personally descend to the Profound Yellow Realm, be killed, and leave behind a fruit position?"

Chu Huaixu was momentarily puzzled.

There might be some unknown things hidden within.

"But never mind, once the conditions to trigger this hidden task are met, some of these secrets will surely be uncovered."

"I just don’t know whether the Sect Leader and the others are aware of the lost fruit position in the Profound Yellow Realm?"

Chu Huaixu doubted that they necessarily knew about the fruit position.

But they were surely aware that the evil cultivators seemed to be searching for something.

"Because lately, the regions under the Daoist Sect’s jurisdiction have been quite restless."

"These dark crawlers dare to show themselves openly."

"This so-called Black Moon Sect seems to let any riff-raff join."

"It’s as if they’re just piling up numbers for a carpet search."

"They don’t seem to care at all about others finding out that they’re searching for something..."

Chu Huaixu couldn’t believe that the higher-ups of the Daoist Sect could be unaware of such simple news!

I got the information just on a casual assist mission down the mountain.

"But why does the Sect Leader of this Black Moon Sect act so fearlessly?" Chu Huaixu pondered.

At this moment, Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing stood beside him, having no clue what he was thinking.

The Evil Cultivator Envoy lying on the ground also secretly watched him, not knowing what this person was pondering.

He very much wanted to ask this leader who seemed more like an evil cultivator than the evil cultivator himself: "Well, can I just go and die now?"

He never imagined that there would come a day when even dying would become a luxury, that he’d need permission to seek death!

Chu Huaixu again slowly crouched down, raised his hand, and without a word gave a slap: "Smack—!"

As if this was his way of greeting.

"Give me that strand of power inside you, I mean, the sensing power your Sect Leader had you look for something."

The Evil Cultivator Envoy’s expression instantly turned sour, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"It’s not that I don’t want to give it, it’s really that I can’t. As soon as it leaves the body, it dissipates."

"Moreover, once we take it out, we’d suffer backlash, dying instantly, exploding!"

Upon saying this, his eyes brightened.

Hahaha! Finally found a way to die! Hahaha!

Chu Huaixu’s face showed a hint of mockery, directly applying the Qi Locking Seal, sealing him instantly.

In this way, he couldn’t even mobilize that sensing power to leave his body, naturally preventing any backlash.

"Jiang Zhi’s old signature skill, truly a bit handy," he mused silently.

He lowered his eyes, looking at this so-called Evil Cultivator Envoy coldly, and said:

"Then you don’t need to take it yourself, I’ll do it personally."

He first pointed to the position of the opponent’s spiritual embryo and asked, "Is that sensing power here?"

Chu Huaixu, seeing the look in the opponent’s eyes, understood it wasn’t there.

Thus, he pointed to the Sea of Consciousness, and it wasn’t there either.

He continued pointing, one by one, until he reached the heart, at which point the Evil Cultivator Envoy’s expression subtly changed.

"So it’s here then," Chu Huaixu smiled slightly.

He wouldn’t let the evil cultivator take it himself because he feared the opponent might suddenly self-destruct, leaving him no time to act.

But it was different if he handled it personally.

With that, he used the power of [Dao Generating One] to extract another Evil Pill.

The Evil Pill was astonishing, capable of devouring the power of all things, formed from the most wicked energy of the world.

Chu Huaixu’s physical body couldn’t touch it, as it would be consumed.

He couldn’t use spiritual power to wrap and control it either, because the power would also be devoured.

However, the power of [Dao Generating One] was different; for some reason, it wasn’t consumed.

"Maybe it’s because... it’s also a hungry ghost reincarnated?"

But then again, the Medicine Cauldron restrains evil qi and the Evil Pill; otherwise, how could the Evil Pill rest safely inside it?

If left there, it should swallow the entire cauldron.

In any case, within the Origin Spirit Realm, Chu Huaixu relied on the Medicine Cauldron to extract and retrieve the Evil Pill.

At this moment, the Evil Pill fell from the air, landing on the heart of the Evil Cultivator Envoy.

It immediately began to devour his flesh, spiritual power, muscles, bones, heart...

Even that thread of sensing power wasn’t exempt!

Xu Ziqing and Han Shuangjiang watched from the side and couldn’t help exchanging a glance.

They both saw the same words in each other’s eyes—chilled to the bone!

Neither knew what Chu Huaixu extracted, but it was overwhelmingly evil!

It’s undeniable; whether it was the severe interrogation before or the current use of evil items, this Evil Cultivator Envoy before Chu Huaixu was indeed a smaller evil encountering a greater evil.

"Damn it, what sort of evil cultivator are you?"

This Profound Yellow Leader surpasses you in wickedness.

Chu Huaixu quickly noticed a wisp of purple airflow appearing inside the semi-transparent Evil Pill.

And the Evil Cultivator Envoy was already dead, drained.

His body gnawed and twisted, began rapidly withering.

Seeing this, Chu Huaixu used the Medicine Cauldron to retract the Evil Pill back into the Black Bead.

From start to finish, he didn’t avoid Big Ice Cube and Xiaoxu.

He actually wasn’t sure if the sensing power devoured by the Evil Pill could still be effective.

But who cares, better to absorb it first!

Just like the old lady hoarding plastic bags, you never know when you might need it!

After finishing these tasks, Chu Huaixu looked at Big Ice Cube and Xiaoxu and instead asked, "Don’t you have anything you want to ask me?"

For instance, about the Evil Pill.

Han Shuangjiang looked at him and calmly shook her head.

Everyone has their secrets, she felt all she needed to know was that Chu Huaixu wasn’t harmful.

As for the methods used, those were secondary.

In truth, she always thought Chu Huaixu was a genuinely good person at heart.

Hearing this, Xu Ziqing, who usually played the joker, started brainstorming.

In the end, he gingerly asked, "Senior Brother, do you want me to ask? Should I ask now?"

Chu Huaixu was indeed amused by him.

"Forget it, forget it," he raised his hand, lightly waved it off.

How wicked the Evil Pill was, wasn’t he aware?

Their reaction somehow put him at ease.

Being unconditionally trusted, isn’t that great?

"So, really, no matter what I do, you wouldn’t find it strange, no matter what I say, you’d believe me without questioning how I did it or how I knew?" Chu Huaixu suddenly asked.

"As long as you don’t babble like usual...." Han Shuangjiang paused, then replied, "Yes."

Xiaoxu immediately chimed in, "Senior Brother, of course!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu looked towards the refined young man with a feminine appearance.

After pondering for a bit, he directly said, "Xiaoxu, what if I told you, through some means, I already know who your family’s killer is?"

He had always planned to find the right time, a suitable opportunity, to tell Xiaoxu.

But suddenly today, he realized, there’s no need for that!

If I know, then I can just say it. And once I say it, he will believe!

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziqing seemed struck by lightning, his face instantly turning pale.

He immediately raised both hands, bent over, and sincerely shouted, "Xu Ziqing implores Senior Brother to disclose!"

"His name is Yuchi Huaide, he’s from Spring and Autumn Mountain, his cultivation is probably at the Fifth Realm, a Great Cultivator."

The refined young man upon hearing, began to murmur the name over and over, voice becoming increasingly inaudible, as if trying to chew and swallow the name!
