1141 Great Benefits

Transcending this land meant that one could attain freedom!

Luo Yunyang very much wanted to try it after hearing everything that was said by the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor as well as Yuan Zi.

He would not be satisfied if he didn’t try!

He had made so much effort all these years just so that he could search for his mother, sister, and son. The moment the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor mentioned it, Luo Yunyang knew he had to give it a shot.

While he was about to casually chat more with Yuan Zi, something made his face stiffen.

“Brother Yuan, I would love to chat further with you, but something has come up that requires my immediate attention.”

“Brother Luo, please go ahead. I will take my leave,” Yuan Zi replied with a smile.

After sending Yuan Zi off, Luo Yunyang had a skeptical look on his face as he communicated with his Nalanye clone embodiment.

Nalanye had some news: The First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord wanted to have a meeting with Nalanye.

According to the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord should have already been trapped. How could he meet with Nalanye in that case?

While Luo Yunyang was not able to guess what the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord wanted, he felt that this meeting might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Even though he had already made a decision, Luo Yunyang’s clone embodiment still summoned Ouyang Tengfei as he went to meet the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord.

Although war was raging between the Human Race and the Mysterious Underworld Race, Ouyang Tengfei, who was always beside Luo Yunyang’s clone embodiment, was never mistreated in any way.

Furthermore, as Nalanye began climbing up the ranks, Ouyang Tengfei’s status within the Mysterious Underworld Race rose up quite a bit as well.

At the very least, people were now more accepting of who he was. While things were like that, Ouyang Tengfei still felt a little uncomfortable.

The reason for this discomfort was mainly that he was now on the side of the Mysterious Underworld Great Emperor.

Although his predictions were right, he found that he didn’t have many things to do so he led an easy life. However, what he truly wanted was to lead this life in the Human Race instead of the Mysterious Underworld Race.

What a great feeling it would be to be valued in the courts of the Human Ruler instead of in the courts of the Mysterious Underworld Race!

“My respects, Your Majesty!” Ouyang Tengfei greeted Nalanye with respect upon seeing him.

Ouyang Tengfei had never felt any hatred for Nalanye. In fact, he felt some form of respect and fear for this martialist from the Mysterious Underworld Race.

He respected the fact that Nalanye had allowed him to continue coexisting peacefully in the boundaries of the Mysterious Underworld Race but feared that if he wanted to, he could kill him at any time without leaving any traces behind.

“Ouyang Tengfei, I would like to go out. What do you think of this?” Luo Yunyang asked.

There was a suspicious look on Ouyang Tengfei’s face as he eyed Luo Yunyang.

While his physical self was in the Mysterious Underworld Race, Ouyang Tengfei was not trapped in any way. Hence, he got information rather easily.

The war between the Mysterious Underworld Race and the Human Race was already a well-known fact he had known for a long time.

He wondered if he should answer Nalanye’s sudden question with a lie. Besides, given the Mysterious Underworld Race’s defeat in battle, Nalanye’s future seemed bleak.

It would be a good idea to tell the truth if he got killed instantly by Nalanye!

However, just as he turned to face Nalanye, he realized that sparks of energy were emanating from Nalanye’s body.

From the looks of it, Nalanye’s trip would actually allow him to prosper and reap huge benefits.

“How… How is this possible? Your Majesty, if you were to go, I’m afraid…” Ouyang Tengfei stammered.

“Looks like you are more of a martialist from the Human Race rather than the Mysterious Underworld Race!” Luo Yunyang replied after shooting a glance at Ouyang Tengfei.

Shock was written all over Ouyang Tengfei’s face. He had never expected Nalanye to be so impressive.

His lie had been transparent even before he had completed it!

Just as Ouyang Tengfei was pondering what to do next, Nalanye’s body rose up in the air and disappeared into the void.

He was immediately pushed out of the large hall by a gust of warm energy.

Ouyang Tengfei stood outside the hall for a long while. During that period, not a single martialist from the Mysterious Underworld Race came by to look for him or ask him about the situation.

Heaving a big sigh of relief, Ouyang Tengfei then turned around and began heading for his living quarters. A sudden thought came to his mind while he was on his way back.

A thought about the Mysterious Underworld Race.

Did the Human Race really stand a chance in the war against the Mysterious Underworld Race against Nalanye and other strong martialists?

A world of chaos and ruin presented itself before the eyes of Luo Yunyang. He had been here before when this had been one of the prosperous lands of the Mysterious Underworld Race. However, now, one could not even feel a single Mysterious Underworld presence here.

As time had passed and laws had shattered, this place had also deteriorated into what seemed like purgatory.

“You are here!” the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord said as he emerged from the shadows. It was strange, as he appeared to take the form of an illusion that could be destroyed without much effort.

Still, Luo Yunyang was not going to belittle this Taiyi Yuan Venerate of the Mysterious Underworld Race, even though his earlier plans had failed and endangered the entire race.

According to Luo Yunyang’s memory, this was a being greatly respected as one of the top influential figures of the world.

“My respects, First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord.” Nalanye, who was disguised as the clone of Luo Yunyang, greeted him.

“Let’s dispense with the formalities! It is really regrettable that my plan failed entirely this time!” the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord replied.

There was clear bitterness in the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord’s voice when he mentioned the word ‘regrettable’.

While these words were not directed at himself, this hatred sent chills down Luo Yunyang’s spine.

“Surely, my lord has a purpose for summoning me this time!” Luo Yunyang said feebly.

“Of course! Without the Great Extinguishing Black Hell Portrait, the twelve Ancient Yuan Demons will not last too long before the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor rips them apart. Once the foundation of our race falls apart, our cultivation levels will also decline greatly,” the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord said gravely.

“We will not even be able to keep our hands on the Sky Wielding Crystal.”

Luo Yunyang did not say anything. He had actually expected the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord to say all this.

“When you have shaken off the martialists from the Human Race, do not engage with them forcefully, as they won’t have any chance of winning. Instead, go with the Mysterious Underworld elites you command to the land of the ancestral grounds of the Star Sky Race,” the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord said.

“That way, you will still provide the Mysterious Underworld Race with an opportunity to survive or maybe even a small chance to win.”

Nalanye, who was disguised as Luo Yunyang, put on a calm front. However, many thoughts were going through his head. He knew that coming here had definitely been the right choice this time.

“Even if we were to live on, we would still be classified as strays,” Luo Yunyang replied dejectedly.

“My lord, we are losing strength. As more and more of us die, our cultivation base is taking a big hit,” Luo Yunyang said dispiritedly.

“Nalanye, you are the Great Emperor of the Mysterious Underworld Race. Your negativity will definitely affect the martialists of the Mysterious Underworld Race one way or another. If the Mysterious Underworld Race was not really lacking now, I would definitely not have sought you out.” The First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord lamented.

His tone then changed. “In critical situations like this, living on is even more difficult than dying. Nalanye, as much as I wish to live on and get the Mysterious Underworld Race out of this crisis, I am unable to do so! The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor isn’t going to spare me, and the most suitable person to take over will be you. I will not leave you with nothing to fend for before leaving. I will give you the Sky Wielding Crystal.”

“The Sky Wielding Crystal of the Mysterious Underworld Race must never fall into the hands of the Human Race. Although it may be hard for you to instantly become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate upon receiving this, with some cultivation and hard work, you will surely one day reach the ranks of Taiyi Yuan Venerates.”

The Sky Wielding Crystal. The First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord was actually bestowing that crystal upon him!

“The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor can actually force you to give me the Sky Wielding Crystal?” Luo Yunyang did not immediately decline the crystal.

“Of course he can’t. However, I too am a Taiyi Yuan Venerate who is no weaker than him in any way. While it is true that I will slowly deteriorate, I have not lost my status yet. Therefore, I can still use some of my strength to bestow the Sky Wielding Crystal upon you and send you all to the Star Sky Race.”

“Remember, the Star Sky Race has its own trump cards. They can give the Human Race a surprise if they close in too much.”

At this point, the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord’s expression changed again. “Bring your cultivation base to its peak. I will take out the Sky Wielding Crystal shortly and then send you and your subordinates to the territories of the Star Sky Race.”

Luo Yunyang felt peculiar while watching the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord making preparations in all seriousness. He had never known that such benefits existed in the world!
