Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 232 - 188: Obedience in Public but Defiance in Private

Liang Xiangyue’s eyes were filled with eagerness.

However, she simply gazed at Wu Hen, not immediately voicing her request.

Liang Xiangyue certainly had her own requests, but in her opinion, her requests were not easily fulfilled, so she adopted this approach, waiting for the right moment to make them.

Liang Xiangyue was also analyzing the character and behavior of this son, clearly seeing he was a gentleman who rewarded good and punished evil. Anyone who brought him joy or helped him would receive a generous reward.

She wasn’t in a hurry, just attending to matters beside him.

Wu Hen didn’t care what Liang Xiangyue was plotting; he thought, if he could freeload, then why not?

"Junior sister, my cultivation is already very solid. I always feel the Holy Infant within me is like a giant baby, yet I have no clue how to break through to the Holy Child. Could you perhaps offer some guidance or tell me in which direction I should strive?" Wu Hen said.

His most important purpose in coming to the Totem Sacred Sect was to obtain the key for promotion, to advance. From the Sect’s position in Red Port, it was clear that the cultivation method of the chain gate practiced by the Holy Sect was top-grade within the entire Desert Dust region, so he would continue his cultivation.

To reach the levels of Little Yi’s vast and boundless Black Divine Miracle was not expected, but at the very least, to be able to, like the Purple Robed Master, annihilate civilizations of billions on his own, and battle on par with saints in the Heavenly Brilliance Realm even without invoking the Hua Chen Principle!

"You will have to consult our father about this. I don’t know much either. However, if anything, one fundamental aspect of cultivation you must satisfy is having a strong physique. Brother should know that the reason our sect indulges in such unhesitant killing is that we need the essence blood of our enemies to nourish our own bloodline. Fight, duel, indulge in bloodlust, and slaughter, or surpass oneself by conquering powerful Predators, these are all methods of our cultivation. Brother’s refined Qi and essence blood are lacking, and the formation of your physique is somewhat weak," Cai Ni said.

"When I followed Master Xin Feng, he hardly gave me a second glance, nor did he actually teach me how to refine my Qi and blood, or how to enhance my physique," said Wu Hen.

Wu Hen was like a latecomer to the path, and although his Holy Infant was robust, his foundation was too weak. If he considered the Totem Holy Power to be like a bucket, it was indeed thick and sturdy, but riddled with so many short planks that his high level of cultivation struggled even against a pair of Silver Winged Mantises.

Now, Wu Hen was all about patching up his weaknesses and elevating his limits.

"As for Qi and blood, actually, look at the heart here," Cai Ni said, pointing to her own flat chest.

Wu Hen didn’t quite understand and looked at Cai Ni.

"The heart is the source of Qi and blood. When your heart can supply you with blood that approaches the quality of Golden Holy Spirit Dew, it means that your bloodline is becoming increasingly powerful," Cai Ni explained.

With Yuan You in hand, one could buy anything.

It was only after arriving at Red Port that Wu Hen learned that pure natural Yuan You wasn’t abundant. Every sect and power had methods to refine artificial Yuan You. Even if they didn’t possess the skill, they most likely knew how to rob others of theirs.

However, artificial Yuan You had a loss in conversion rates. The more you absorbed of your own artificially made Yuan You, the greater the loss in conversion rates, leading to the majority of powers and civilizations unable to be self-sufficient. They needed to search far and wide continuously, injecting fresh blood into their civilizations.

The subjects of Nuwa God End didn’t manufacture artificial Yuan You; they were more like industrious little bees, gathering nectar everywhere and then bringing the nectar back to their hive, gradually strengthening the entire beehive. They could be understood as a swarm of mining bees, collecting the energy-providing Yuan You Mine and bringing it back to their base.

After listening to Cai Ni’s description, Wu Hen roughly understood why Chief Li wanted to take over the Longevity Sect.

The Longevity Sect had a Yuan You Void Mine. Taking down the Longevity Sect meant that the entire Nuwa God End would have a foundational energy supply, raising the lower limit of all humanity.

"Thank you for the pointer, Junior Sister. I will definitely practice diligently and not let Master down," Wu Hen said.

"Alright, then your sister is leaving," Cai Ni said.

Cai Ni left the courtyard.

As soon as she stepped out, the sweet smile on Cai Ni’s cheeks vanished, her bright eyes turning a shade darker.

It was so exhausting to pretend!

Even though she utterly loathed it, she had to act as if she had the patience for him. Cai Ni had always been willful, never needing to feign anything in front of anyone.

"Hmph, I just hope you’re somewhat useful; otherwise, I’d chop you up and feed you to the dogs..." Cai Ni left the place, not wanting to stay a moment longer!

Inside the courtyard, Wu Hen squinted, watching the departure of this little Junior Sister.

Wu Hen had seen his fair share of women. Her efforts to suppress rolling her eyes several times already indicated that she had been ordered to make nice.

It seemed that this new family member also required his careful reeducation. Wu Hen did not like a woman being sycophantic to his face while deceiving him behind his back—no matter how high her status was in the Holy Sect; he could still make her behave!
