82: Chapter 82 The World's Will to Bully the Weak and Fear the Strong Returns

The barrage in the live broadcast room completely flooded the screen at this moment, dense text scrolling rapidly, countless viewers unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts, frantically sending comments.

["Daoist Ye is awesome!!!"]

["That is another 100% strength enhancement! This boost is simply Heaven-Defying!"]

["I have broken through to the Qi Refining Fifth Stage!! My Aptitude has directly doubled, and I finally have the qualifications to participate in the Grand Ritual of Luotian!!"]

["Haha! My martial arts have also broken through, successfully stepping into the Middle Stage of Blood Refining. I must go to this Grand Ritual of Luotian!"]

["That is fantastic! Our Blue Star has completely shaken off the cataclysm! The current environment is even better than before the cataclysm!"]

["Little sister is also super amazing! Daoist Ye is awesome! I just sensed it, am I now equivalent to the Golden Core Perfection?!"]

Bai Yuetian stood in place, clearly perceiving the power continuously gushing out from within his body, his limbs and bones being washed by Spiritual Qi, his original cultivation soaring all the way.

Not just him, Xiaoduo, Maiduo, Suixing and the others on the side completely couldn't hold it in anymore.

A group of youngsters jumped and cheered in place inside the room, their faces full of the exhilaration of regaining a new lease of life.

["What on earth is the Grand Ritual of Luotian? Why are you all so excited like this?"]

["Asking timidly, is no one going to give us a popular science explanation?"]

["No way? Didn't Daoist Ye give you the hundred solutions to immortal cultivation, or did none of you read it?"]

["The hundred solutions to immortal cultivation? That book... was too thick, I used it directly as a pillow to sleep."]

Shanda looked at the brand-new hundred solutions to immortal cultivation on the bed, scratching his head foolishly with an innocent expression.

As soon as this barrage comment came out, it instantly exploded the audience's laughing points.

["A kindred spirit! Me too!"]

["Shanda, shut up! How embarrassing!"]

["Help! Such a clumsy thing was directly thrown to other worlds!"]

["Stop talking quickly, it is so humiliating!"]

The style of the barrage suddenly shifted, and someone immediately captured the famous scene on the other side, quickly changing the topic.

["Stop laughing at him! Look at Boss Bai's side quickly! She was questioned into autism by that man in glasses!"]

["Hhahahaha Boss Bai's dumbfounded expression, I laughed like crazy!"]

["The high-and-mighty cold goddess suffers a setback for the first time, this scene is encountered once in a hundred years!"]

Inside the National Destiny Space, the atmosphere was completely different from the lively live broadcast room.

The cold, mechanical System prompt tone sounded punctually in this space, clearly transmitting into the ears of everyone present.

["Ding! This mission has been completed, you can choose to return immediately, or you will be forced to return after one hour."]

Bai Yuekui, who was originally completely silenced and slightly lost in thought by the Expressionless Man's series of questions, finally slowly came back to her senses after hearing the System prompt tone.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan walked slowly in front of the two, his gaze falling on the quietly disposed and slightly autistic Bai Yuekui, with a bit of doubt in his eyes.

["What is wrong with you?"]

Facing Ye Qingxuan's inquiry, Bai Yuekui did not open her mouth to answer.

She only subconsciously stepped back slightly, her figure standing firmly behind Ye Qingxuan.

Isolating the probing gaze of the Expressionless Man opposite.

Throughout the entire process, she didn't say a word, silently protecting Daoist Ye in front, with a firm posture.

The Expressionless Man on the side pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his face still maintaining that cold look without any emotional fluctuations.

Perceiving the gaze cast by Ye Qingxuan, he calmly opened his mouth to explain.

["It is nothing, I just analyzed a little bit of interesting stuff."]

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan looked at him with a calm gaze.

The Expressionless Man asked: ["How much longer can you stay?"]

["1 hour."]

["So, what else do you plan to stay here to do?"] The Expressionless Man's tone was casual, but carried a bit of understanding.

A trace of glimmer flashed through the depths of Ye Qingxuan's eyes, his tone carrying certainty: ["You had already guessed it long ago."]

Ye Qingxuan smiled faintly, no longer talking nonsense, raising his hand and waving, gentle Dharmic power wrapped around Bai Yuekui and the Expressionless Man, their figures soaring into the air and flying straight towards the high-altitude clouds.

Standing above the ten-thousand-zhang clouds, Ye Qingxuan slowly opened his right hand.

Boundless Divine Sense accompanied by vast and immeasurable pure Dharmic power suddenly poured down, penetrating layers of air, sinking straight into the underground of the entire island country below, firmly locking onto the core ley line of this small island.

["Anyway, the indigenous people on this island are dead, keeping the ley line wastes resources, it is better to make use of waste."]

As his voice fell, Ye Qingxuan continuously output Dharmic power, frantically pulling the power of the ley line.

The next second, the entire island shook violently!

The earth shook wildly, rocks rolled down, the ground cracked, just like an ancient earth dragon turning over, the entire island was violently jolting.

The surrounding seawater was stirred by the huge power, surging and roaring, layers of giant waves rising from the ground, faintly condensing into a terrifying tsunami, ready to swallow the entire sea area at any time.

Seeing that the waves were out of control and about to trigger natural disasters, Ye Qingxuan's expression turned cold, and he gave a low, deep shout:

["Hmph, suppress for me!"]

The boundless Dharmic power instantly swept across all directions, forcefully suppressing the restless sea area.

The originally violently surging seawater instantly calmed down, the wind and waves calm, only the worm-shaped island underfoot was still shaking violently, the power deep within the ley line being constantly pulled.

["Come out!"]

Ye Qingxuan's five fingers formed a claw, violently pulling upward in mid-air!

Deep underground, a thick and condensed earth-yellow dragon-shaped phantom broke through the rock layer and soared into the air.

This was the core ley line of this small island, containing the spiritual essence accumulated by the entire island for countless years.

Without waiting for the ley line dragon phantom to struggle and escape, Ye Qingxuan's hands rapidly pinched complicated magic formulas, strands of cyan-gold runes flying out, tightly imprisoning the restless dragon phantom.

His Dharmic power compressed layer by layer, continuously condensing and shrinking the incomparably massive power of the ley line.

In just a few breaths, the huge ley line dragon phantom was completely compressed and shaped, turning into a fist-sized, warm and yellowish round bead as a whole, quietly floating in mid-air, emitting a continuous stream of heavy spiritual breath.

The Expressionless Man on the side stared closely at this ley line round bead, his eyes shining, his gaze incomparably fanatical, his breathing slightly hurried.

With his intelligence, he knew better than anyone else what a complete ley line meant in terms of terrifying resources.

["This is the complete ley line core?"]

["Stop looking, it is not for you."] Ye Qingxuan saw through his thoughts at a glance, retortingly snapped back unpleasantly, and then raised his hand to gently push, steadily sending the bead compressed from the ley line in front of Bai Yuekui.

Looking at the stunned Bai Yuekui, he explained in a serious tone:

["Your world has just experienced a cataclysm and is still slowly recovering. After you go back, find a spiritual mountain blessed land, shatter this bead, and release the power of the ley line inside.]

[It can not only greatly accelerate the recovery of the entire world, but where the bead falls, it will also turn into a blessed land with endless Spiritual Qi."]

In order to prevent the power of the ley line from being too violent and instead destroying the balance of the world, when Ye Qingxuan compressed and condensed it just now, he specially added a few Restrictions, fixing the scope of action of the ley line, leaving only blessings and no hidden dangers, perfectly adapting to the state of the Ling Cage World.

Bai Yuekui stared dazedly at the floating ley line divine bead before her, her cold and detached cheeks quietly flushing with a faint blush, her eyes full of disbelief.

Such a precious treasure, Ye Qingxuan just casually gave it to her like this.

["This... really for me?"]

Just as Ye Qingxuan was about to open his mouth to respond, the sky overhead suddenly changed color!

Rumble——!

Piercing thunder suddenly exploded, resounding through the entire heaven and earth!

Thick dark clouds quickly gathered, rolled, and condensed, and in the center of the cloud layer, an incomparably huge vertical-pupil giant eye slowly took shape, condescendingly overlooking the three people below.

The giant eye's pupil was cold and abyssal, filled with intense anger, especially when seeing the ley line round bead suspended in mid-air, the murderous intent in the depths of its eyes almost turning into substance.

The world will of this Small World was completely alarmed by the movement of extracting the ley line, and descended personally!

["Hmph, world will, this poor Daoist hasn't taken the initiative to settle accounts with you yet, yet you dare to take the initiative to come to my door."]

Ye Qingxuan looked up at the giant eye in the sky, with not a shred of fear on his face, leaving only thick disdain.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he instantly figured out the other party's background—merely at the Soul Transformation Late Stage cultivation Realm, with mediocre strength.

No wonder it previously allowed pseudo-gods to run rampant in this world; it was a bully to the soft and fearful of the hard, cowardly and incompetent.

The next instant, the Aura around Ye Qingxuan violently erupted!

The boundless Dharmic power and the vast, boundless Divine Sense pressure of the Void Return Stage surged into the sky like a tsunami, ruthlessly crushing toward the giant eye in the sky!

The world will in the sky was instantly shrouded by this terrifying power, and terror originating from its Origin instantly swept through its consciousness!

It was incomparably shocked, its heart trembling wildly: ["This human is countless times more terrifying than that weird one from before! They are simply not on the same order of magnitude!"]

Under fear, the world will didn't dare to resist at all, and immediately gave rise to the intention to retreat. The giant eye slightly contracted, preparing to tear the void and flee in panic.

["You come as you like and leave as you wish? A bully-fearing thing, stay!"]

Ye Qingxuan gave a cold shout, his vast Divine Sense directly condensing into a sky-covering giant hand that instantly pierced through the clouds, firmly grasping the giant eye of the world will that wanted to escape, tightly imprisoning it in mid-air, unable to move a single fraction of an inch.

Without any suspense, just like refining the ley lines earlier, Ye Qingxuan casually exerted his force, compressing the unyielding world will layer by layer.

In a split second, the originally majestic and terrifying world will was condensed and compressed into a transparent orb suffused with the rules of heaven and earth, quietly floating in mid-air.

Watching this scene, the look of adoration in Bai Yuekui's eyes grew even more intense, and her gaze towards Ye Qingxuan was filled with affection.

Meanwhile, the Expressionless Man beside them was in a completely different state at this moment.

His eyes gleamed with an extreme fanaticism as he stared intently at Ye Qingxuan, sizing him up endlessly, his eyes filled with the utmost inquiry.

That appearance was the living picture of a fanatic wanting to dissect and study Ye Qingxuan.

He muttered to himself in shock, "Are these the methods of an orthodox cultivator? Suppressing ley lines with a casual wave, and easily capturing and condensing the world will of a Realm? It completely subverts all theoretical understanding!"

Even with Ye Qingxuan's state of mind and cultivation, being stared at by such a nearly paranoid and crazy gaze made him feel a chill in his heart, truly living up to the saying, 'Cherish life, stay away from...'

Bai Yuekui likewise sensed the Expressionless Man's fanatical expression, feeling a sense of discomfort in her heart. Forcing down that awkward feeling, she proactively stepped between them, blocking the Expressionless Man's line of sight, and turned to look at Ye Qingxuan to ask solemnly.

"How do you plan to deal with it?"

Bai Yuekui was not a novice who knew nothing about cultivation; she clearly understood that the world will was the fundamental core of a Realm.

It was entangled with the Karma of thousands of living beings and carried massive repercussions, so it absolutely could not be killed casually, as the slightest mishap would breed endless Karma.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the floating world will orb, his tone carrying a trace of chilliness:

"This bullying coward is mediocre, incompetent, and unable to distinguish between good and evil. If not for the fact that this Realm also holds the Yanhuang Bloodline, this Daoist would directly destroy its Origin today."

At this moment, the bullet comments in the Blue Star livestreaming room had completely boiled over, and the viewers were watching with scalp-numbing awe.

[My god! Grabbing the world will directly with a hand formed from Divine Sense? This operation left me dumbfounded!]

[What is there to be surprised about? Daoist Ye is a Void Return Stage big shot after all; catching a world will with Soul Transformation strength is a piece of cake.]

[To be honest, this world will is truly too cowardly! It played dead when false gods ran amok, but when Daoist Ye helped it pacify the disaster and merely extracted a ley line, it came knocking to pick a fight instead!]

[Pure bullying of the soft and fearing the hard! Daoist Ye helped it clean up its mess, so what if he took a ley line?]

[Did no one notice that glasses man's gaze? It was too eerie! It gave me the creeps all over!]

[This is a standard mad scientist! Encountering power beyond cognition directly ignites the ultimate desire for research!]

[Any big shots want to guess how Daoist Ye will ultimately deal with the world will? Kill it or let it go?]

Inside the official livestreaming room,

Sister Qing looked at the scene on the screen with utter disbelief, her tone carrying deep shock:

"Three Seniors, could Daoist Ye really be planning to slay this Realm's world will? Just how terrifying of a Karma would he have to shoulder for that?!"

Celestial Master Zhang beside her stroked his beard, his face calm and dismissive. "It is merely the superficial will of a Small World, short-sighted and devoid of awe. It's purely asking for trouble."

Master Kongming's gaze was penetrating, seeing through the crux at a glance:

"This Realm preserves the Yanhuang Legacy and has a Daoist Foundation. Immortal Master Qingxuan is taking Yanhuang into consideration and showing mercy, so he won't easily obliterate the world will."

Master Yuanxin nodded slightly and slowly added:

"It is indeed a dilemma. Killing it damages Karma, but letting it go makes it hard to achieve clarity of mind. However, given the Karma Qingxuan has accumulated, even a direct slaying would be enough to offset all Karma without hindering his Dao cultivation."

Sister Qing was left completely dumbfounded, utterly speechless.

Inside the National Destiny Space,

The Expressionless Man had already reined in his fanatical research expression, returning to his usual calm and aloof self as he looked at Ye Qingxuan and asked, "So, how do you ultimately plan to deal with it?"

Ye Qingxuan's gaze was cold as he spoke calmly, "It cannot be killed, but mistakes must be punished. Severing a portion of its Origin to leave a lesson is only right."

As soon as his voice fell, a thought stirred in Ye Qingxuan's mind!

The cangmang sword instantly unsheathed!

Clang—!

A crisp and resonant sword cry echoed across heaven and earth, the sword body wreathed in layers of golden Karma light, sacred, majestic, and brimming with righteous awe.

With no superfluous movements, Ye Qingxuan raised his hand and slashed directly toward the world will!

Boom!

Earth-shattering Sword Intent swept across the entire Small World!

In an instant, the entire heaven and earth shook violently. All living beings in this Realm—whether human, beast, grass, or tree—inexplicably felt a surge of indescribable sorrow and awe well up in their hearts, their ethereal perception moving them to tears.

This sword strike was precise and decisive, directly severing thirty percent of the world will's Origin.

The previously vibrant and lively world will orb instantly dimmed and withered, its Aura growing weak to the extreme.

Ye Qingxuan stared at the withered world will, his voice cold and carrying an unquestionable majesty:

"Let this sword strike teach you not to be arrogant or impetuous! You will remember this firmly for this Daoist: from this day forward, the Yanhuang tribe of this Realm shall be the world's core!

All your heavenly Luck and world nourishment must be poured entirely into the Yanhuang lineage. Do you understand?!"

The weak world will trembled slightly, intermittently transmitting a faint telepathic response: "I... re... member..."

"Hmph, as long as you remember. Only if Yanhuang does not perish can you continue to exist. Scram back into the Void Realm to heal your wounds!"

Ye Qingxuan kicked out, a stream of magical power encasing the world will and directly booting it into the depths of the Void Realm, where it vanished in the blink of an eye.

The three quietly watched as the Void Realm returned to peace and the storm subsided. Ye Qingxuan brought Bai Yuekui and the Expressionless Man down with a leap, landing on the ground of the island nation.

With very little time left before the mandatory return, Ye Qingxuan turned to look at the Expressionless Man beside him, his expression exceptionally solemn.

"Our remaining time is short. Before leaving, I have a few words of warning for you."

The Expressionless Man slightly lowered his gaze, his posture proper: "I am all ears."

"You can freely allocate all the cultivation resources this Daoist gave you. But Cultivation Techniques cannot be distributed arbitrarily. Remember this: the Dao is not imparted to the unworthy, and the Fa is not transmitted to six ears."

"Anyone who cultivates the Dao and Fa I impart will form Karma with me. If you pass on techniques to the unworthy or connive at wicked people using my Dao and Fa to do evil, when this Daoist achieves Immortal Ascension another day, I will cross the heavens to settle all Karma one by one without any leniency!"

Ye Qingxuan's tone was serious, every word heavy and carrying the majesty of the Dao.

The Expressionless Man maintained that same calm and rippleless deadpan face, responding indifferently: "Mhm, I know."

Anyone looking at this attitude would feel a bit irritated, but Ye Qingxuan also knew this guy was just built this way.

Ye Qingxuan shook his head helplessly, raising his hand to gather the refined ley line orb and a compiled set of top-tier technological data into his Storage Ring, and then handed the ring to Bai Yuekui.

After finishing this, he tapped his fingertip, and a stream of exceptionally pure azure-gold protective magical power instantly enveloped the Expressionless Man's entire body, layer upon layer, rock-solid and stable.

Feeling the surging magical power constants lingering around his body, a trace of understanding flashed in the Expressionless Man's eyes.

Ye Qingxuan explained, "I am leaving you a life-saving trump card. After we leave, this world will will definitely harbor resentment and wait for an opportunity to retaliate."

"With this protective magical power, even if this Realm completely collapses or Blue Star explodes, you will be absolutely safe for a short time, enough for you to hold out until the return time."

"Thank you." The Expressionless Man nodded slightly, expressing his sincere gratitude.

"Until next time, Expressionless Man."

The moment these words fell, the one-hour retention time was exactly exhausted!

White light suddenly lit up from both Ye Qingxuan and Bai Yuekui, and dazzling Holy Light enveloped the two figures, vanishing both completely from the National Destiny Space in a flash.

Only the Expressionless Man was left behind in place, quietly gazing at the Void Realm where the two had disappeared, muttering softly to himself.

"Ye Qingxuan... a Disciple of Shangqing, and Bai Yuekui, a scientist? I will remember you. Until next time."

Roughly two hours after Ye Qingxuan and his companion left, the winds and clouds began to change drastically on this small island!

The firmament turned completely pitch black; mountains fractured and the earth split apart, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Endless thunderbolts and magma crazily bombarded toward the Expressionless Man!

It was the world will, which had been recovering its injuries, coming to exact revenge!

However, all those terrifying attacks landing on the azure-gold protective magical power around the Expressionless Man were blocked layer by layer, unable to stir up even the slightest ripple.

Beneath the howling storm and the overturning heavenly punishment, the Expressionless Man stood calmly from beginning to end, completely unharmed.

He looked at the heavenly punishment raging across the sky, his tone stiff and flat: "This is truly thorough bullying of the soft and fearing of the hard. I have noted down this debt!"

Space and time shifted—the back mountain of Mount Mao.

As Ye Qingxuan stepped out of the back mountain, he saw—
