King of Creation Chapter 2011 - 1996: Ye Jiuxiao
Previously on King of Creation...
The upper half of the Xuanling Scripture, which predominantly focuses on combat, within Lud Li’s inherited Mystical Mechanism Dao Method, has not been learned by Ye Zhen due to the Inherited Spirit Jade Slip.
However, Ye Zhen has diligently practiced the Heavenly Mechanism Secret relentlessly.
This Heavenly Mechanism Secret is the foundation for cultivating the Xuanling Scripture in the future. Once it’s mastered, obtaining the Inherited Spirit Jade Slip later on will allow him to grasp the Xuanling Scripture effortlessly.
Moreover, the Xuanling Scripture is within the sealed space of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and Ye Zhen is bound to acquire it sooner or later.
This Secret Technique for cultivating the Primordial Spirit within the Heavenly Mechanism Secret is exceedingly powerful; Ye Zhen’s daily cultivation of the Heavenly Mechanism Secret noticeably increases the size of the Primordial Spirit within the Dark Palace.
Additionally, according to Lud Li, the Heavenly Mechanism Secret, when cultivated to a certain level, enables one to understand fate, avoid misfortune, and when perfected, even directly perceive destiny.
Perceiving destiny is not something Ye Zhen can hope for in the short term.
Even with Ye Zhen’s current level, what destiny is remains unclear to him.
However, Ye Zhen is well aware of understanding fate and avoiding misfortune.
He had early experiences of intuition, especially on the True Profound Continent, where such intuition occurs when a martial artist’s cultivation reaches a certain level, a kind of inexplicable spiritual sense.
According to the Ancestor God Temple, this intuition is established when a martial artist’s cultivation, particularly Divine Soul Power, reaches the top ranks of a world, triggering this intuition.
Since arriving on the Primordial Continent, this intuitive feeling has become increasingly rare, almost nonexistent.
But today, as Ye Zhen started operating the Heavenly Mechanism Secret, an abrupt intuitive feeling emerged, startling Ye Zhen immensely.
After contemplating for a moment, Ye Zhen ceased operating the Heavenly Mechanism Secret, and the intuitive feeling instantly vanished.
Yet when Ye Zhen resumed operating the Heavenly Mechanism Secret, the intuitive stirring occurred again.
As time passed, this stirring grew increasingly intense, accompanied by the growing discomfort as if pins were pricking his back.
Ye Zhen squinted his eyes.
"Kitten, speed up!"
Without any hesitation, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten accelerated to the extreme; the years of rapport was not in vain.
The sudden acceleration made Chi Ling’er in Ye Zhen’s arms cry out in joy again.
Ye Zhen, continuously operating the Heavenly Mechanism Secret, squinted his eyes.
When the Kitten accelerated, this intuitive stirring only diminished slightly before rapidly intensifying again.
"Kitten, Void-Break!"
Amidst the low roar of the tiger, the Kitten vanished into thin air with Ye Zhen and Chi Ling’er.
The kaleidoscope-like spatial corridor made Chi Ling’er open her eyes wide, as if witnessing the world’s most magical scenery.
The next moment, the Kitten slashed across space, and Ye Zhen with Chi Ling’er appeared over eight thousand miles away.
With the Kitten’s current cultivation, executing Void-Break once can now span eight thousand miles across the void.
Ye Zhen continued squinting his eyes, operating the Heavenly Mechanism Secret persistently.
Upon escaping the spatial corridor eight thousand miles away, the intuitive feeling brought by operating the Heavenly Mechanism Secret sharply diminished by more than half, and that sensation of a prick on his back completely vanished.
But before Ye Zhen could relax, the intuitive stirring accelerated, and the prickly sensation intensified straight away, to the point of feeling needle-like stabs.
Ye Zhen’s gaze sharpened, becoming exceedingly serious.
Ye Zhen realized someone was watching him.
And it was someone skilled in the Dao Realm, able to catch up with the Kitten’s speed in an instant, definitely no ordinary person.
"Ling’er, are you enjoying the sight?" Ye Zhen asked Chi Ling’er cradled in his arms.
"Yes!"
"If you’re happy, why not tell your mother about the beautiful sights once we return?" Ye Zhen spoke tenderly.
"Okay!" Chi Ling’er hesitated, "But father, I haven’t seen enough, I want to see more."
"That’s alright, tell your mother, and later we’ll all take a look together, alright?"
"Alright!"
"Then father will send you back."
In a flash of light, Chi Ling’er was sent back to the Mirage Dragon Pearl space by Ye Zhen, and simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s expression turned extremely solemn.
With the sensation pricking his back intensifying.
"No matter who comes, meeting is inevitable." Ye Zhen murmured, gently patting the Kitten’s neck, causing it to slow down sharply.
All at once, thunder light, sword light, blood light, and fire light began to surface on Ye Zhen’s body, the Kitten shrank to palm size and burrowed into Ye Zhen’s embrace.
A green vine slipped out from behind Ye Zhen’s hair, like a green hairpin, securing his topknot.
As the hefty aura of the Dragon Scale False Body emerged from Ye Zhen’s body, a voice of admiration suddenly resonated from the void.
"Truly impressive, causing havoc at White Tiger Mountain, being able to detect my presence so quickly, remarkable indeed, Ye Jiuxiao!"
"Ye Jiuxiao?" Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow, glancing toward the source of the voice in the void.
"With a single Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, you ignited a struggle for succession within the Black Tiger King’s lineage, causing the fall of over a dozen Dao Realm members in the Black Tiger King’s lineage, thousands of Demon Commanders, tens of thousands of Demon Generals.
Now, while the entire Tiger Clan hunts for you, they quietly discuss, calling you Ye Jiuxiao!
I suppose, gaining this name is a source of pride for you, Ye!"
A vague shadow swiftly emerged from the void, standing opposite Ye Zhen.
"To be able to track me and surpass my Kitten’s speed speaks to your exceptional cultivation. Why remain hidden?" Ye Zhen sneered at the emerging shadow.
Having been pursued, Ye Zhen no longer rushed.
The shadow’s lips revealed a subtle smile of regret, "Indeed, no point in hiding now.
So, where have you hidden Qing Tong? In a personal Little World that moves at will?"
"Hand over Qing Tong, and I won’t hold you accountable for attacking and killing our Qingqiu Ninth Elder Hu Buding, I’ll let you go!
Also, for your Demon Race brothers, I shall pretend I didn’t see them!"
With these words, the shadow suddenly turned into a serene form, transforming into an old man in blue clothes, with distinct features and radiant eyes.
"Great Clan Leader?"
"Surprised?"
"Somewhat. When I sensed the warning sign, I should have suspected it was the Great Clan Leader. Only your Fox Clan can execute such a high-level tracking."
"Not so much high-level! It’s just that the blood over many years ingrained the lesson of thinking thoroughly into our bones."
With this, the Great Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, Tu Zheng, spread his hands, "On Qing Tong’s behalf, I hope you make the right choice.
Regardless, I don’t want Qing Tong to resent me for this matter.
Though, if you refuse, hmm!"
Tu Zheng chuckled coldly, "In this world, countless Secret Techniques exist for erasing memories, not too difficult to execute either."
"Great Clan Leader, I’m intrigued, how did you track me after the Blood-eyed Soul Beast of the Green-eyed Great Saint died?" Ye Zhen asked.
"As mentioned earlier, countless Divine Power Secret Techniques exist in this world, especially someone like me who’s lived for untold millennia, knowing countless techniques makes tracking you no challenge."
Upon hearing, Ye Zhen sighed, "Surviving long indeed has its advantages!"
"Provided you have the chance to live long enough." Tu Zheng said, implying deeper meaning.
"Enough, I dislike idle chatter! State your choice. Hand over Qing Tong or?"
"I choose to refuse!"
Tu Zheng’s expression turned cold, emitting a hundred-foot-long Killing Qi, piercing directly from both eyes!
