Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 689: Chapter 507: Purification

"Is this... Golden Nature?"

"Yes, the old folks at home requested it. If you have nothing else to do, you can take it back."

Yimiao’s tone was firm, and she fixed Ci Yun with an aggressive gaze, a look that said if Ci Yun dared utter a single word of refusal, she’d start a brawl!

Ci Yun: "..."

Who did he offend now?

He helplessly turned his head, using the corner of his eye to glance at the two babies in Yimiao’s hands who wouldn’t stop squirming, while inwardly he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

’Golden Nature is a hot potato. These two small ones only appear harmless because Yimiao is holding onto them. If it were anyone else, they’d fear these little things might retaliate instead of being dealt with comfortably.’

Nobody understood the significance of Golden Nature better than Ci Yun, a Longevity True Monarch from the Three Great Sacred Lands.

You could say that Golden Nature, was a main curriculum for cultivators of the Three Great Sacred Lands who reached the Peak Realm. Recognizing Golden Nature, understanding it, knowing its essence, learning how to interact with it, then capturing and suppressing it under the guidance of the Sect’s Longevity True Monarchs, finally giving birth to Golden Nature within oneself.

Golden Nature is both a law and the essence of a Longevity True Monarch, no wonder Ci Yun was so familiar with it.

As for the two baby-like Golden Natures before his eyes, though their intelligence wasn’t high and they kept a child’s temperament, their actual combat strength was not inferior to some Middle Order powerhouses.

At least not inferior to Ci Yun himself, they might even surpass him somewhat.

’Want me to help detain them, but then found my strength wasn’t enough, which is why that dismissive expression just appeared?’

Ci Yun smiled bitterly, dismissiveness is dismissiveness, what could he say with his lacking strength?

Having understood everything, Ci Yun once again bowed and said to Yimiao: "Yimiao Daoist friend, if you wish to detain these two outer domain Golden Natures, I fear my strength alone is insufficient. Conveniently, my junior sister Qiluo is nearby, I ask that you wait for a moment, giving me some time to make arrangements."

"Alright, hurry up. Oh, and be sure to gather some more people here. The old folks are demanding quite a number, I still need to catch some more. Later I’ll need to trouble you to take them back together." Yimiao’s words hinted at impatience.

"I respectfully follow the Daluo Saint Master’s decree."

...

The relationship between the Holy Master and the Longevity True Monarch is quite intriguing.

Logically speaking, having reached the Longevity True Monarch level, they shouldn’t be beholden to anyone. Longevity True Monarchs stand at the world’s summit; subordination should come from those below them.

Nominally, the Three Great Sacred Lands also follow this principle.

Actually, though, Yimiao as the Holy Master has some advantages.

Just as the elders living in Daluo Taoist Lands dare to glare at her, even the Black Bodhi whom she nurtured usually interacts with her as equals. But when Yimiao truly gets serious, she remains Daluo Taoist Lands’ Holy Master, a true person standing at the top of power alongside the Three Celestial Profound Officials.

It’s like a senator versus a speaker.

Though everyone sits together in meetings, Yimiao as the Holy Master naturally has more power on her side.

Moreover, the Three Great Sacred Lands are overtly interconnected, all serve the same Taoist Lord, so their relationships again resemble different departments within the same system.

Thus, when Yimiao, the department head of the Daluo Taoist Lands division, hopes for Ci Yun, an Elder from the Immortal Ascension Sect to help with a task handed down by the parent company, Ci Yun agreeing to help is normal.

Of course, he could refuse.

Ci Yun certainly could refuse!

Since this task isn’t really his duty, why should Yimiao, a Daluo Taoist Lands Holy Master, have authority over him, an Immortal Ascension Sect man?

Did she follow the procedures?

Yet, if refused and returned to Celestial Profound, would upper management make things difficult for him..... that’s another matter.

All things considered, Ci Yun didn’t have plans to refuse.

Interestingly, while Ci Yun agreed, Qiluo, who received his message and rushed over, outright refused him without a shred of politeness.

"Yimiao Daoist friend, if it’s just about this matter, please contact others for help. Qiluo has yet unfinished business, if not for receiving Ci Yun senior brother’s urgent transmission thinking something happened to him, Qiluo wouldn’t have been able to make time."

After saying this to Yimiao, Qiluo nodded at Ci Yun and swiftly left, not even giving Ci Yun a chance to urge her to stay.

Ci Yun’s hand, outstretched to retain her, froze in midair.

’What’s with junior sister Qiluo today? She actually showed no regard for Yimiao, the old woman, this time around? Could she really be facing urgent matters?’

Ci Yun inwardly smiled bitterly, outwardly he still had to maintain appearances with Yimiao.

"Yimiao Daoist friend, it seems junior sister Qiluo truly has urgent matters to attend. I hope you’ll wait for a moment; our Immortal Ascension Sect has two other elders on their way here, so you won’t have to wait long."

Yimiao’s expression wasn’t pleasant.

On one hand, the little girl Qiluo, actually outright refused her without even calling her prior.

On the other hand, she was being truly bothered by these two little brats starting to bite indiscriminately in her hands!

Wearing an absolutely false smile, Yimiao coldly looked at Ci Yun and said:

"Ci Yun Daoist friend, I hope so."

...

Meanwhile, just when Yimiao’s explosive temper was about to detonate.

Bai Yu, staying in Divine Wood Spring City, received two transmissions one after another.
