#345 - Yan Qingcheng's Dilemma

Yan Qingcheng felt helpless.

She knew that under this man's questioning, she would find it increasingly difficult to hold on.

She didn't want him to get angry, and even more so, she didn't want him to be disturbed because of her.

But even if he knew, what could he change? It would probably only put him in danger as well.

But right now, this domineering little man made it impossible for her to resist, impossible to hold on, impossible to disobey him…

“It's a matter within my family. I originally thought it would be like before, simply a family internal struggle. But after returning to the family from the Nanshan Secret Realm, I inadvertently discovered that my Charming Eye Clan had already been shrouded in a huge shadow…”

Jun Wuxie quietly held her, and said, “Tell me in detail.”

Yan Qingcheng nodded, and娓娓道来: “In my Charming Eye Clan, there is a person named Yan Yu, who is now the Vice Patriarch. She has extremely high talent and, like me, is at the Half-Step Saint Realm. Perhaps she is even closer to the true Saint Realm.”

“Yan Yu competed with me for the position of Patriarch back then, but she failed at that time, and her realm was slightly lower than mine. In recent years, her cultivation speed has been advancing by leaps and bounds, but I never thought much about it. It was not until recently that I learned that another force was providing her with rare resources that even Sovereigns would find difficult to find…”

“In recent years, more and more power-holding high-level figures in the family have stood on Yan Yu's side, which has led to the continuous shrinking of my power as the Patriarch. Now, in the entire Charming Eye Clan, I can only control one-third of the power. Fortunately, there are still a few old ancestors in the Saint Realm and two family guardians who have always supported me.”

“Yan Yu has rare resources, and it is very likely that she will step into the Saint Realm in a short period of time. At that time, she will publicly challenge my authority as the Patriarch. Coupled with the fact that most people support her, I will find it difficult to cope, and the position of Patriarch may not be guaranteed.”

“Yan Yu is ruthless. After she takes the position of Patriarch, with her character, she will never tolerate my existence as a threat. If it were just like this, it would just be death. What I am most worried about is the force that secretly supports Yan Yu. The purpose of their doing this is very likely to be to swallow my Charming Eye Clan…”

Jun Wuxie was shocked in his heart. The Charming Eye Clan was a Sovereign-level force. Who would dare to have the idea of swallowing the Charming Eye Clan?

Moreover, according to Yan Qingcheng's statement, that force was trying to swallow the Charming Eye Clan by cultivating Yan Yu.

So, Yan Yu has already been bought by that force, or has she already submitted?

He couldn't help but ask: “Which force is secretly supporting Yan Yu?”

“The Heavenly Purity Sect, the only Supreme Sovereign-level existence in this world, and the real backer behind the Heavenly Purity Tower.”

“What? The Heavenly Purity Tower's backer is the Heavenly Purity Sect?”

“Yes, the so-called headquarters of the Heavenly Purity Tower is just a branch set up by the Heavenly Purity Sect to the outside world. The strength of the Heavenly Purity Sect is beyond the imagination of the world. Only the power-holding high-level figures of the major forces understand their horror.”

Jun Wuxie was slightly silent and said: “That Yan Yu, when do you estimate she will break through to the Saint Realm at the earliest?”

“With the secret support of the Heavenly Purity Sect, with her aptitude, she should be able to become a Saint Realm in at most two years, or as early as about a year. Now, within the family, if I try to suppress her by taking back power, it is already too late.”

“That's right, this method is basically unfeasible at the moment.” Jun Wuxie's expression was solemn, and he said: “If the Heavenly Purity Sect wants to swallow your Charming Eye Clan and chooses Yan Yu as a pawn, then there must be other pawns, such as those power-holding high-level figures of yours. So if you want to take back power, they will definitely fight back. And your power in the family has already declined, making it difficult to win against them.”

“So what I can do now is to strive to break through to the Saint Realm before Yan Yu. This way, it won't be so easy for her to seize the position of Patriarch, at least I can delay the time, so as to give the two guardians and several old ancestors who support me time.”

“Only when the two guardians use the Flame Flower Seeds to break through to the legendary Half-Saint Realm can the crisis facing my clan be completely resolved.”

“Is Half-Saint a realm above the peak of the Saint Realm? So, does the Heavenly Purity Sect have Half-Saints?”

Yan Qingcheng nodded and said: “It is said that Half-Saints only exist in legends, and one is hard to come by in 100,000 years. In fact, this is not the case. The Heavenly Purity Sect should always have Half-Saints. That is their foundation, but they have never been born. I still can't figure out why the Heavenly Purity Sect wants to do this, and what is the purpose of swallowing my Charming Eye Clan.”

“Since ancient times, the Heavenly Purity Sect has been playing the role of guardian of the world's order and rules, and we, these Sovereign-level forces, also follow their lead in matters of formulating and safeguarding the rules. They have never shown any ambition to annex the world's forces, but the Heavenly Purity Sect of this era seems to have changed…”

“The purpose of the Heavenly Purity Sect is not important now. What is most important now is how to temporarily stabilize the situation within your Charming Eye Clan!” Jun Wuxie thought for a while and said: “How confident are you that you can break through to the Saint Realm before Yan Yu?”

“If I refine the Flame Sun Flower Seed…”

“No!” Jun Wuxie said in a deep voice: “I will never allow you to refine the Flame Sun Flower Seed! The essence of the Flame Sun is extremely violent. That is true Saint-level energy. You are only at the Half-Step Saint Realm. If you forcibly refine it, your meridians will not be able to withstand it!”

Saying this, he sat up and waved his hand in front of him.

A burst of crystal-clear green light flashed.

A three-meter-long and two-meter-high superb spiritual crystal stone appeared in front of him.

The Primordial Order Administrator was quietly sealed inside, and the broken battle spear was as black as ink, with black energy flowing on it, making people feel palpitations.

“Superb spiritual crystal stone, exactly the perfect resource used by Emperor Realm cultivators to break through to the Saint Realm!” As he said this, he sacrificed the Primordial Sword Embryo and slashed it towards a corner of the superb spiritual crystal stone.

With a crack, a large piece of superb spiritual crystal stone fell to the ground, weighing more than fifty or sixty pounds.

Just this piece alone is priceless, worth at least hundreds of trillions of spiritual coins, and even then it cannot be bought.

The crystal-clear green light illuminated the lake shore here into a dreamlike green world, and rich and pure spiritual energy mixed with a trace of peculiar life energy diffused.

“Take it and use it for cultivation.” Jun Wuxie handed the piece of superb spiritual crystal stone he had cut off to Yan Qingcheng, and instructed: “You are not allowed to refine the Flame Sun Flower Seed, promise me!”

Yan Qingcheng looked at him, her eyes like autumn water, rippling slightly, she put away the superb spiritual crystal stone and nodded.

“I will find a way to help you find the heavenly materials and earthly treasures to stimulate the Charming Eye bloodline. In the future, including your Void Divine Body bloodline, I will find a way to help you stimulate its bloodline power!”

When Yan Qingcheng heard this, she showed a look of shock and said: “You… how do you know that I possess the Void Divine Body bloodline?”
