Chapter 1437: Rejection
Yi Tianyun was not surprised by this answer at all. If Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu were that easy to recruit, she would have stopped being a rogue cultivator long ago.
“Then what kind of condition would make you willing to join?” Yi Tianyun narrowed his eyes as he asked.
He had no intention of giving up so easily. At the very least, he wanted to know what it would take. Someone like her would bring immeasurable benefits to the Three Realms God Domain—whether in reputation, influence, or overall strength.
“No,” Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu shook her head gently. “I have already decided to wander through the various God Domains, without a fixed residence. I have no intention of joining any faction. Staying within a single force makes it impossible to save the innocent people affected by wars…”
As expected, she traveled across God Domains to rescue the innocent and bring salvation to all beings.
If she joined a faction, she would inevitably be confined to one God Domain. How could she freely move around then?
If she never stayed in one place, joining a faction would be meaningless anyway.
Yi Tianyun flicked his finger lightly and smiled. “That’s actually very simple. I can help you achieve this wish—as long as you join my faction.”
“You can help me?” Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu frowned slightly.
Her wish was to save all people under heaven—how could that possibly be fulfilled?
Unless war itself ceased to exist, and the world achieved true peace, such a dream was unrealistic.
“Yes,” Yi Tianyun said calmly. “I’ll rule the Fourth-Grade God Domain and the Fifth-Grade God Domain. Wouldn’t that solve it?”
“Nonsense!” the maid blurted out. “You think you can rule Fourth- and Fifth-Grade God Domains? That would require becoming a God Emperor! Can you become a God Emperor?”
Although Yi Tianyun had saved her mistress, that didn’t mean he could speak so recklessly.
Her initial goodwill vanished instantly. Lacking strength wasn’t terrifying—what was terrifying was boasting without limits.
Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu felt the same. God Emperors had not appeared for countless years. The last one existed so long ago that no one even remembered the era clearly.
Yi Tianyun was merely a God Monarch. The gap between that and a God Emperor was nothing short of heaven and earth.
“Yes,” Yi Tianyun rubbed his chin. “I believe I can become a God Emperor.”
“You’re still boasting!” the maid scoffed with disdain.
“You’re just a God Monarch—don’t tell me you think the next realm after that is God Emperor?”
“I know how difficult it is,” Yi Tianyun replied calmly. “But for me, it isn’t that hard. Believe it or not, that’s up to you. As long as you join me and assist me, once I become a God Emperor, everything will fall into place.”
His tone was filled with confidence—absolute confidence.
“Daoist,” Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu shook her head slowly, “with cultivation this low, it is extremely difficult to convince others. If you were an Upper Heavenly God or even a Mid Heavenly God, perhaps I would consider believing you.”
A God Monarch claiming he would reach God Emperor…
Frankly speaking, it wasn’t even a funny joke.
“Exactly! This kind of boasting is beyond ridiculous!” the maid said impatiently.
“Come back and talk after you reach the Heavenly God realm!”
Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu remained calm. Though her impression of Yi Tianyun had declined, she did not grow angry.
“It seems there’s nothing more to discuss,” Yi Tianyun shrugged.
“If you ever change your mind, come find me in the Three Realms God Domain.”
“The Three Realms God Domain?”
Neither of them had heard of it.
“Its name hasn’t spread yet,” Yi Tianyun said casually. “You’ll know it in the future.”
He wasn’t discouraged at all. It was normal that they hadn’t heard of it yet.
Once he accumulated enough achievements, the name of the Three Realms God Domain would naturally shake the world. For now, cultivation was the priority. In a thousand years, it would explode into fame.
“Hmph. There’s no need for us to know,” the maid said unhappily.
“Mistress, this person is far too exaggerated. There’s no need to waste time on him.”
“Xiao Yuan, apologize to Daoist Yi,” Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu said sternly.
“But—”
Seeing her mistress’s serious gaze, Xiao Yuan reluctantly bowed.
“I’m sorry. My previous words were inappropriate. Please don’t take offense…”
No matter what Yi Tianyun said, he was still her mistress’s lifesaver. Even if he exaggerated, he deserved basic respect.
Yi Tianyun waved his hand casually. He was already used to reactions like this.
“Forget it. I’ll change my request,” he said.
“I only want Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu to transfer a portion of her Light Core energy for me to absorb.”
This had been his original goal all along. Recruitment was merely a bonus attempt.
Since it failed, he would not force it.
“Absorb my Light Core energy…”
Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu thought for a moment, then nodded.
“That’s fine. We can begin now.”
“But Mistress, your injuries—” Xiao Yuan said anxiously.
“It’s fine,” Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu shook her head.
“He saved my life. Transferring some Light Core energy will not cause serious harm.”
Gratitude had always been her principle.
“Injuries are nothing,” Yi Tianyun said as he sat down cross-legged.
“Once you transfer the energy, I’ll help heal you.”
Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu didn’t ask further questions. She immediately began channeling Light-attribute Core energy into Yi Tianyun’s body.
At the same time, Yi Tianyun switched to the Witch Wood Divine Set. With a wave of his hand, a gigantic phantom tree appeared behind him.
Terrifying life force descended from the sky, enveloping Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu!
In an instant, she felt her injuries recovering at an astonishing speed—dozens of times faster than before.

Under the Divine Set, the healing speed skyrocketed severalfold, greatly accelerating Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu’s recovery. The effect was so astonishing that even Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu herself was stunned.
She had never seen such terrifying healing efficiency before. Even Xiao Yuan had never experienced a healing ability of this level.
In truth, the effect could have been even stronger. However, because Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu’s cultivation was too high, the effectiveness was significantly weakened. Even so, it still provided dozens of times the original recovery speed.
That alone was already shocking enough—more than enough to completely stun them and make them realize that Yi Tianyun was far from someone without ability.
“So strong… such an incredible healing power. Fellow Daoist, how exactly did you do this?” Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu asked excitedly, unable to hide her amazement. This ability was extremely suitable for her.
Light attribute power itself could not achieve true healing. Although it could purify everything, it was incapable of healing injuries directly. When dealing with injured civilians, it could only provide limited assistance—nothing close to Yi Tianyun’s level of effectiveness.
“Don’t stop. Continue supplying Light Core energy,” Yi Tianyun said, raising his hand and pointing at her, signaling her not to stop even if she was shocked.
He needed to keep absorbing it for refinement. Talking did not interfere with absorption—he could multitask easily. The stronger one’s cultivation, the more things one could do simultaneously without issue.
“My apologies.” Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu smiled apologetically and continued transmitting Light Core energy. At the same time, she hurriedly asked, “Fellow Daoist, may I know how you achieved this? If possible, I’m willing to exchange other things for it—Heavenly Venerable–grade treasures are no problem. As long as you can tell me how.”
“You want to know?” Yi Tianyun smiled faintly. Seeing her interest, he began to form some ideas.
“Yes. If I could obtain this ability, treating injured civilians would become much faster,” Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu said sincerely.
Her single-minded devotion to helping others and rescuing those in hardship was truly admirable.
Yi Tianyun, however, smiled wickedly. “Heavenly Venerable–grade treasures mean nothing to me. As long as you join my faction, not only will I give you these martial arts, you can freely choose other techniques as well. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
“This…” Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu’s gaze dimmed. She hadn’t expected the conversation to circle back to recruiting her again.
Though she was tempted, losing her freedom and being unable to move freely was far too great a price.
“What? Worried I’ll restrict your freedom?” Yi Tianyun chuckled. “I won’t. You can go wherever you want—just publicly declare that you’ve joined my faction. That’s all. How about it? A good deal, right?”
“My lord, you’re going too far!” Xiao Yuan said angrily. “Do you think we don’t know what you’re planning? You just want to use Master’s reputation to attract more powerful experts! Master’s fame in this region is enormous—one call and countless will respond!”
She saw through Yi Tianyun’s intentions immediately. Many had tried to recruit Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu for exactly this reason.
Yi Tianyun glanced at her calmly. “Friend, you’re already a God Monarch at your age. When did I ever deny that this was my intention? Want benefits without paying anything? Try giving me the strongest martial arts while I do nothing in return.”
There were no free benefits in this world—there were always strings attached. Yi Tianyun never denied this.
Xiao Yuan’s face flushed red. Though she looked like a cute child of eight or nine years old, her true age was unknowable—thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of years. Her body had remained this way since birth, making her look like a child even now. In reality, becoming someone’s great-grandmother would still be considered young for her.
“I’m giving you freedom—just a title. If something happens, I’ll help. Isn’t that enough?” Yi Tianyun said calmly. “Much better than those factions that restrict your freedom while shamelessly exploiting your reputation to recruit disciples, isn’t it?”
Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu fell silent for a moment before finally shaking her head. “I’m very sorry, but I still don’t intend to join any faction.”
In the end, she chose to refuse Yi Tianyun’s offer.
“Alright. If you ever change your mind, come find me,” Yi Tianyun said without pressing the issue further.
“Mm…” Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu did not say more. Whether she would truly come looking for him in the future remained unknown.
They then focused entirely on absorbing Light Core energy. Yi Tianyun continued refining it, quickly condensing a Light Core within his body. It steadily improved, while Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu’s own Light Core was continuously depleted. Still, with some time to recover, it would eventually return.
As time passed, a Light Planet began forming inside Yi Tianyun’s body, radiating layers of holy light outward. It made him feel incredibly comfortable, as though bathing in warm sunlight.
“So this is the serenity of the light attribute…”
Yi Tianyun felt very satisfied. Gaining such benefits meant rescuing her had not been in vain. More importantly, Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu was reasonable—if it had been an irritable upper-tier Heavenly Venerable, she might have slapped a God Monarch to death without even bothering to ask questions.
After condensing for a while longer, Yi Tianyun stopped absorbing Light Core energy. He had already gained more than enough.
Heavenly Venerable Feng Qiu also sat nearby and closed her eyes to recover. Her consumption had been significant—about half of her core energy had been transmitted. Still, considering Yi Tianyun had saved her life, this price was not excessive.
She remained puzzled as to why Yi Tianyun chose her energy. She could not sense him having a light-attribute constitution.
But since he requested it, she did not question further. As long as he did not insist on recruiting her, everything else was negotiable.
After cultivating for some time, Yi Tianyun finally stabilized the Light Planet within his body. Like a glowing orb, it circulated smoothly inside him, dazzling and beautiful.
“Finally stabilized… That means I now have seven planets!”
Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up. Breaking through to Heavenly Venerable required only five planets—he now had seven. Even if there were additional requirements later, he already had two extra. Even eight planets would not be an issue. He only needed one more to reach eight!
