After killing became a daily routine, the illusion of Shijiu was no longer painful; it merely repeated mechanically. In the Eerie Game, the tourists no longer screamed in agony, which allowed this child to find some amusement in it until one day he met a guide named Yun Zhi Yue.
This time, the player was different; he was not an ordinary human, and his attraction was on the verge of collapse. Yun Zhi Yue handed Xiao Shijiu a bag of candy and said, "The world is like a furnace, and all beings are simmering within it. Have some sweets to endure; once you adapt to the word 'suffering,' it will be easier."
Shijiu squeezed the candy bag, making it crinkle. "Have you adapted?" he asked.
Yun Zhi Yue shook her head. "Not really. Enduring for a moment is fine, but enduring for a lifetime? That would be foolish! Climbing up by any means necessary is the way to go. If you lack strength, then cling to someone powerful."
In the illusion, Xiao Shijiu stared at Yun Zhi Yue, opened the candy bag, and popped one into his mouth. With a childlike face that did not match his sinister smile, he said, "Sister, I’ve been saving this candy since you gave it to me. It’s very sweet."
In the illusion, Yun Zhi Yue was momentarily stunned before being embraced by little Xiao Shijiu. He was born from the lives of countless beings consumed by Shijiu, destined to be a curse. Accepting his fate, Yun Zhi Yue offered him a different life—this sister he would never let go.
Only by becoming strong could he ensure his sister's peace of mind! To grow stronger, he would stop at nothing!
Suddenly, vertical pupils appeared in his eyes, and brilliant golden light pierced through the illusion. The spiritual energy of the Celestial Fox Clan surged wildly; even those from beneath the Imperial Heaven Realm felt their cultivation being drained away.
Ji Wei Yi, with her fox-like eyes growing cold, thought: Did they truly believe that as their clan leader, he would remain indifferent while his kin were harmed?
Just as her fingers moved, Li Shang acted even faster, binding Yun Shijiu completely to prevent him from devouring the spiritual energy of the Celestial Fox Clan.
Then countless celestial stones and treasures from the immortal realm were piled into that space for Yun Shijiu to absorb, continuously elevating his cultivation!
Walking down this path again, combined with how far Yun Shijiu had strayed from conventional methods of cultivation, leveling up only required sufficient resources.
Resources for cultivation in the immortal realm were hard to come by; in the past, he had directly used living beings as supplements. Anyone who provoked him could become nourishment because he needed to grow stronger.
Today felt like a feast; which one of the surviving Emperors wasn’t measured in tens of thousands? Naturally, what was in his hands was top-notch.
Even with hundreds or thousands of resources, it might not guarantee an upgrade in cultivation; but for Yun Shijiu, it felt like playtime.
The Imperial Heaven Realm was vast yet limited; reaching its peak was challenging.
He couldn’t gain weight from overeating; Yun Shijiu felt he could still take more.
With shamelessness, he said, “Li Shang, sister-in-law, how about you give me some more cultivation? I’m just one step away from reaching Zun Jing!”
Holding Yun Zhi Yue and Li Shang, he raised his hand.
Yun Shijiu was directly pulled into the Hall, embedded in the pillar as a mural.
With that single action, the pain felt like a shattered egg, rolling his eyes as he struggled to control his half-transformed body. His golden tail hung down in a vertical line, drooping limply.
Upon seeing this tail, a flicker of something unusual appeared in Ji Wei's eyes.
Born as a curse, even if he possessed cultivation later, his body would still be tainted and filthy. Yet if the Lord of the Dragon Tail was not mistaken, Yun Shijiu had consumed the essence of the dragon clan.
The words "Dragon Ancestor's Admonition," "Jiao Long," and "Twin Sovereigns"—were those not meant for Yun Shijiu?
Su Ye gathered brown spiritual light at his fingertips, brushing over Yun Shijiu's body to retract his tail.
