Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 552 - 471: The Regent King’s Title Is Set in Stone!

Looking at the massive amount of Divinity Transformation Spiritual Power that the Star River Celestial Monarch injected into the Array Plate before handing it over, Su Yuan deeply felt the trust coming from the other person.

He reached out his hand, took the weighty Array Plate, and solemnly nodded:

"Ah Nong... ahem, Senior Qi, please rest assured, I will certainly bring this Immortal Treasure back intact."

Saying this, he was about to place the Array Plate close to him.

At that moment, the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable spoke with a bit of emotion.

"I never expected to see an old acquaintance’s relic here."

Hearing this, everyone present couldn’t help but show a curious look.

"Senior Dragon Venerable, do you know the origin of this Immortal Treasure?"

Purple Gold Dragon Venerable: "Of course, its origin is impossible to verify now, but in my era, it was once wielded by a Divinity Transformation Demon from the Demon Race."

Demon Race Divinity Transformation? All Heaven Star Battle Array?

Su Yuan suddenly became alert in his heart.

Purple Gold Old Deng couldn’t be referring to those two Three-legged Golden Crows, right?

Please, don’t tell me this is some Primordial Chaos Ancient Cultivation Realm thing, that trope is so out of date!

"A Divinity Transformation from the Demon Race? What kind of Demon Race?"

Qi Anong asked expectantly.

Purple Gold Dragon Venerable: "The Divinity Transformation from the Demon Race originated from the Moon Palace..."

Before he could finish, Qi Anong excitedly interjected:

"Moon Palace? Could it be the legendary Immortal Treasure held by the Jade Rabbit? Hehe, that would make me like Chang’e, wouldn’t it?"

Purple Gold Dragon Venerable: "..."

After a moment of hesitation, he reluctantly said:

"In my era, the Moon Palace was not inhabited by the Jade Rabbit, but... the Jade Toad."

Qi Anong’s smile froze instantly.

"Jade, Jade Toad? Isn’t that just a toad?"

A toad is a toad, no need to call it Jade anything!

The Star River Celestial Monarch looked like a withered eggplant, her expression fell at once.

Just thinking that her most powerful treasure came from a toad, and even the inheritance she received at the start of her cultivation journey was from a toad, she felt off entirely.

With this, what Chang’e would she be? Just become a toad immortal.

Su Yuan, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.

Whew, as long as it’s not those two golden crows.

After the little episode, Su Yuan expressed his wish to the two Divinity Transformation Cultivators about returning to the Reincarnation Nether Realm once again.

"Leaving so soon? You’ve just reunited with Nuoyi and Hanyan, won’t you stay a couple more days?"

The Star River Celestial Monarch tried to persuade him to stay.

Su Yuan shook his head:

"The sooner I deal with the enemy, the sooner I can return home. If everything goes well, I will be back from this trip to the Reincarnation Nether Realm very soon. By then, we can gather here and together wipe out the remaining will of the Fake Chu Jiang!"

Hearing the determination in Su Yuan’s tone, the Star River Celestial Monarch nodded and said no more.

The Purple Gold Dragon Venerable asked:

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

Su Yuan: "Uh, that’s not necessary."

The main reason he dared to politely refuse the good intentions of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable was because of the backing of the All Heaven Star Battle Array.

With this array, even if the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch truly intended to harm him, the Array Plate Spirit could automatically activate the protection mechanism, temporarily ensuring his safety.

By then, sensing the astrological changes, the Star River Celestial Monarch would come with the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable at the first moment, so this trip basically posed no risks.

Later that afternoon, Su Yuan assembled the delegation that came with him, boarded the Flying Ship, and headed towards the Reincarnation Nether Realm.

Among the delegation, the one most reluctant to leave was Yin Qiyue.

But this lass had been practically glued to Chen Nuoyi for the past three days, which was more than enough.

The return journey was smooth, without any twists or turns.

However, he didn’t rush to meet the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch immediately but first returned to his base in the Reincarnation Nether Realm.

Outside the main hall of the Zhu Yan Bai Guan Mountain Gate, Su Yuan saw Zhu Qingqing, who came out to greet him, and Gui Yuan, who was nominally his maidservant.

However, what puzzled Su Yuan was the extremely stiff expression on Zhu Qingqing’s face, resembling a lackey trembling beside a big boss.

Su Yuan couldn’t help but ask doubtfully:

"Qingqing, what’s wrong with you?"

"Though I’ve changed my appearance, it shouldn’t be scary to this extent?"

Zhu Qingqing shook her little head somewhat aggrieved and said:

"Boss, you’re finally back, the pressure was too much for me while you were away."

Saying this, she cautiously glanced at the harmless blonde girl beside her.

It was obvious who the real intimidating boss was.

Su Yuan also turned his gaze to Gui Yuan and immediately noticed something unusual about her.

The pair of originally clear, beautiful eyes now held a familiar depth and determination.

Despite having just entered the Nascent Soul Stage, she exuded a unique aura belonging to a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

"Gui... Senior Gui Yuan?"

Su Yuan looked at the girl in front of him with astonishment, feeling the golden, resilient, and brilliant soul within this fragile shell.

At that moment, he suddenly realized.

So the Gui Yuan in the Illusion Realm World has also been taken over by the real Gui Yuan.

No wonder Zhu Qingqing was so frightened.

A Divinity Transformation cultivator, who upholds the path of justice, appears before her as a demon, how couldn’t she be scared?

Gui Yuan smiled faintly and said:

"Su Yuan, I’ve already learned the specifics from Zhu Qingqing’s mouth, it seems your hometown has also been quite corroded by the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly and nod.

"Yes, as soon as I got home, I encountered this sort of thing, but things are soon coming to an end."

"The closer you are to seeing the dawn of success, the less you can afford to be careless."

Gui Yuan solemnly advised:

"Like my body in this Illusion Realm, you know? During your absence, my shadow has also been constantly trying to invade this body."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.

Gui Yuan’s body was actually being coveted by the Gui Yuan in the Holy Law Governance Council?

He had previously not realized this issue at all, he was too careless!

But this couldn’t be helped, after all, before meeting the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, he didn’t even consider that a Divinity Transformation cultivator could invade through an illusion.

And after seeing the example of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, he subconsciously thought that only an illusion with strength equivalent to the main body would be noticed by the main body, and that the Illusory Realm Gui Yuan, just a little girl at the Qi Cultivation Stage, was merely an NPC enriching the worldview.

However, Gui Yuan’s example has shown him that the limits of a Divinity Transformation cultivator are higher than he imagined.

Zhu Qingqing, trembling on the side, also said:

"Boss, you have no idea how terrifying Lord Gui Yuan has been during this time, at one moment she wants to unleash a massacre, and at another, she acts normal again."

"It’s bad enough that her consciousness keeps switching, but her power is also frightening. Once, I tried to stop her, and if my ancestor hadn’t protected me, I would have been beaten to death!"

Su Yuan: "..."

Goodness, it turns out Gui Yuan and the Saint Law Celestial Monarch have been competing for control of this Illusion Realm body all this time.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator like Zhu Qingqing to guard a newly entered Nascent Soul Stage host of Divinity Transformation, it sounded like a task of equal supervision, but the bitterness and hardship involved could probably only be understood by those involved.

Xiaozhu, you’ve worked hard.

Gui Yuan smiled peacefully and said to Su Yuan:

"In fact, this body of mine should have been destroyed long ago. Keeping it until now has only been to help you."

"I’m glad you didn’t keep me waiting, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to suppress my shadow."

"Help me?"

Su Yuan was slightly stunned.

Then he heard Gui Yuan explain:

"In the Taixu World, there is more than one Divinity Transformation host like me. Perhaps somewhere, there’s an Ancient Celestial Monarch in his youth, a Decaying Celestial Monarch, or some other Divinity Transformation active."

"As long as these phantoms reach the Nascent Soul Stage in cultivation, they will catch the attention of their corresponding main bodies, some of which may have already become Abyssal Shadows."

"Before you deal with that Fake Chu Jiang, you need to find them all and take them down."

"Only then can you ensure not getting backstabbed at a crucial moment and prevent certain vital information from reaching the ears of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity."

After hearing Gui Yuan’s account, Su Yuan felt both surprised and relieved.

That despicable Fake Chu Jiang has indeed laid many traps in the Taixu World!

If an Abyssal Shadow managed to invade the Taixu World through a phantom and reach the remnants of Fake Chu Jiang’s consciousness, all the secrets he had been guarding would be exposed to the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.

Not to mention, these Nascent Soul Stage hosts of Divinity Transformation are strong enemies, capable of unleashing attacks close to Divinity Transformation levels if they pay a big enough price.

If they struck at a crucial moment, who could withstand it?

Thinking of this, Su Yuan felt extremely glad that he had decided to level up Gui Yuan.

Seeing Su Yuan realize the gravity of the matter, Gui Yuan didn’t keep him in suspense and continued:

"The way I can help you is simple. I will sacrifice this body and use part of my main source to force the ’Holy Word’ Divine Technique of my main body into this world."

"With the edict of the Holy Word, I will brand all Divinity Transformation hosts in the Taixu World with red names."

"Then, you can organize manpower, contact Star River Celestial Monarch, Teacher Dragon Venerable, and your other allies to hunt them down until they’re all eradicated."

"Using the Divinity Transformation source..."

Noticing the understated term in Gui Yuan’s words, Su Yuan fell into silence.

Thinking carefully, he really had received a lot of help from this Saint Law Celestial Monarch.

"Thank you."

After a long silence, Su Yuan could only solemnly thank Gui Yuan.

The stern, serious blonde girl smiled slightly and said:

"It’s nothing, after all, I’m considered a member of the Primordial Sect."

Su Yuan also smiled, as if realizing something, and hurriedly asked:

"But, those creation hosts who haven’t been turned into Abyssal Shadows would also be affected, wouldn’t they?"

Gui Yuan: "It’s a necessary sacrifice, I believe they will understand."

Su Yuan: "..."

The righteousness of Divinity Transformation cultivators needs no words.

Yet Su Yuan always had a feeling that if he issued an indiscriminate order to hunt these young talents, he’d definitely garner a bad reputation.

The title of Regent King is indeed nailed down!
