Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 62

In recent days,

Liu Shunyi and Ye Yan had become quite familiar with each other.

Ye Yan, as a young man,

had a straightforward personality,

but was genuinely upright and honest.

Moreover, despite being an Outer Sect disciple, he lacked any arrogance.

Most importantly,

Ye Yan was incredibly diligent.

After helping prepare breakfast each morning,

he would immediately head off to practice cultivation.

Although his cultivation base was at Foundation Establishment,

he remained remarkably respectful towards Liu Shunyi, recognizing him as a hidden Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator.

“Alchemist Liu, I’m going to train now. Once you’ve finished breakfast, just call me, and I’ll clean up!”

Liu Shunyi smiled and shook his head.

“No need for that trouble. I’m not some grand master; I can take care of cleaning myself!”

Ye Yan scratched his head.

“Alright then!” With that, he proceeded to begin his training.

Watching Ye Yan’s departing figure, Liu Shunyi suddenly felt

that this kind of life might not be so bad after all.

He even entertained the thought of finding a servant.

However, considering the numerous secrets he held,

having a servant around seemed impractical.

Not only that,

he needed to find a way for Ye Yan to resume his cultivation elsewhere.

As an Outer Sect disciple, consistently coming here to train doesn’t seem appropriate.

After finishing their meal,

Liu Shunyi approached Ye Yan once again.

“Your injuries have healed significantly now. Staying here continuously isn’t ideal. The Inner Sect courtyards likely offer better places for cultivation; you should go there!”

Ye Yan smiled warmly.

“I understand, but I truly wish to repay your kindness somehow!”

Liu Shunyi waved his hand dismissively.

“With your talent, cultivating at the Inner Sect will undoubtedly lead to rapid progress soon enough.”

“If you really want to help me, wait until you become more powerful and then take care of my needs.”

Ye Yan considered this advice reasonable.

“All right, then I’ll return to the Inner Sect!”

With that, Ye Yan prepared to leave immediately.

“Wait!” Liu Shunyi hastily called out to stop him.

Ye Yan looked back, puzzled, at Liu Shunyi.

Liu Shunyi handed him a Storage Bag.

“This…I can’t accept it!” Ye Yan was taken aback by the abundance of cultivation resources inside.

Liu Shunyi waved his hand casually and tapped the insignia of a Third Rank Alchemist on his waist.

“I am not lacking these resources!”

Ye Yan felt genuinely touched.

“Alright, I won’t decline then,” Ye Yan responded.

Liu Shunyi smiled warmly.

Another half-month passed swiftly.

During this time, Liu Shunyi wasn’t left feeling lonely at all.

Thanks to Ye Yan, who frequently snuck valuable items from the Inner Sect for him.

“Brother Liu, I heard these can greatly assist with Foundation Establishment.”

“Brother Liu, these are spirit beasts raised by the Inner Sect; let’s try them…”

“Brother Liu…”

Impressive!

Ye Yan genuinely thought of sharing his prized possessions with Liu Shunyi. However, Liu Shunyi had little interest in such things. Moreover, as he was nearing the Golden Core stage, aids for Foundation Establishment held no benefit for him.

Liu Shunyi decided to speak up, “Ye Yan, you don’t need to bring me these anymore. As an Alchemist of Hidden Sword Peak, I have access to various medicinal ingredients. Honestly, I’m not lacking any of these.”

Ye Yan smiled, “Take them anyway, just in case someday you might need them. Besides, it’s not easy getting hold of sect resources, so we should keep some for ourselves.”

Liu Shunyi found himself speechless, realizing there was truth in Ye Yan’s words.

Suddenly, something struck Liu Shunyi’s mind. “When you first arrived here, I noticed burn injuries on you and signs of poison in your body!”

At this mention, Ye Yan’s expression turned grim.

Ye Yan’s expression turned furious.

“Our sect had a disciple named Chen Beiping before; perhaps Brother Liu knows him!”

Chen Beiping? Liu Shunyi was taken aback.

Hadn’t he died?

Ye Yan continued, “I saw Chen Beiping on the battlefield, but it wasn’t our Qinglian Sect’s Chen Beiping. It was Chen Beiping from the Heavenly God Cult!”

Liu Shunyi stared, bewildered.

“Did Chen Beiping defect?”

Ye Yan shook his head.

“It didn’t seem like defection exactly, more like he became a completely different person. He had no memory of who he used to be, only now identifying as a disciple of the Heavenly God Cult.”

“These burns all over me were inflicted by him.”

Liu Shunyi fell silent.

When Chen Beiping’s name disappeared from the Grand Dao Golden Book, Liu Shunyi assumed he had perished. Even with Chen Beiping’s Nirvana resurrection ability, once erased from the Golden Book, Liu Shunyi believed he was utterly gone.

However, it appeared that might not be the case.

“Could it be that if someone decides against killing you, their name is removed from the Grand Dao Golden Book?”

At that moment, the calligraphy brush of the Grand Dao Golden Book vibrated and wrote a single word in mid-air:

“No!”

Liu Shunyi was startled.

“Then why did Chen Beiping’s name disappear?”

The brush trembled once more.

“Sudden!”

Liu Shunyi was momentarily speechless.

“Then who is this Chen Beiping now?”

The brush ceased its vibrations, falling into tranquility.

Liu Shunyi remained silent, pondering deeply.

Turning to matters on the battlefield, his curiosity piqued.

“Could you tell me what’s currently happening at the front lines?”

At this mention, Ye Yan’s face visibly paled.

“It’s difficult for me to fully describe the situation right now.

“But when I left, things were looking quite dire!”

Liu Shunyi’s anxiety heightened.

“How so? Tell me everything!”

Ye Yan sighed heavily.

“At first, with the combined forces of the major sects, the Heavenly God Cult seemed no match, especially after their two leaders died under mysterious circumstances. Their mid-tier combat strength was effectively crippled.”

“However, we underestimated the cult’s sheer madness and desperation.”

As he spoke, Ye Yan produced a crystal ball containing recorded footage.

It depicted a chaotic battlefield where various powerful sects, akin to celestial armies, stood amidst clouds, overlooking the Heavenly God Cult below.

The scene unfolding was utterly shocking.

Initially, the Heavenly God Cult seemed trapped with no hope.

However, it was all part of their plan.

They utilized the bloodshed on the battlefield to activate a formation.

This formation consumed the blood and malevolent energy present.

Ultimately, it awakened a monstrous creature.

“Boom…”

The beast towered nearly a thousand meters tall.

As it emerged from the ground, it completely obscured the sky.

Most disturbingly,

the monster had a centipede-like body, but its numerous limbs were grotesquely swollen human hands.

Even more unsettling, its head resembled that of a gigantic infant.

“Heh heh heh, Ha ha ha~”

Two distinctly different laughs simultaneously echoed from the creature’s mouth, grating on the ears.

Just the sound of this laughter caused countless disciples on the battlefield to disintegrate.

“Hungry, so hungry…” The monster spoke, with nearly a hundred voices uttering the same words at once.

Immediately after,

it opened its mouth wide, generating an immense suction force.

Nearly every disciple from the allied sects faced imminent destruction.

The recorded footage ended here.

Liu Shunyi broke out in cold sweat as he watched.
