Chapter 239: True Monarch Primordial Spirit’s Attention, Qin Yu’s Pre-Battle Preparations

True Monarch of the Infinite, real name unknown, Honored Elder of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm, having cultivated for over five thousand years.

He joined the Demon Suppression Bureau in his youth and harbored a deep hatred for evil. With a single stroke of his blade, he eradicated countless Evil Demon nests. His highly murderous nature and fierce reputation struck terror across the world.

Cultivating the Immortal Tier Technique, the Infinite Wonders Skill, his combat strength ranked at the pinnacle of the Primordial Spirit Realm. He possessed a formidable battle record of slaying many Primordial Spirit Demons of the same realm. (Battle records attached:)

In the battle at Heaven-Breaking Gorge, he single-handedly fought three Primordial Spirit cultivators of the Demon Dao in the same realm without defeat. He even counter-killed one and severely injured the other two, shaking the world with his might…

He possessed an upright and unyielding character, refusing to tolerate even the slightest injustice. He once took in three disciples, but aside from one who broke through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, the other two had already fallen. He was exceptionally strict with his disciples, yet fiercely protective of his own.

For the past millennium, he had immersed himself in secluded cultivation, rarely interfering in worldly affairs. He enjoyed drinking wine and delving into all sorts of novel Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques…

With this intelligence in hand, Qin Yu gained a much clearer understanding of the True Monarch of the Infinite, whom he had never met. The True Monarch of the Infinite was indeed a decisive, fiercely protective, yet strict top-tier expert.

“A deep hatred for evil? And a disciple who is a True Monarch Primordial Spirit?”

Amidst his shock, Qin Yu seemed to understand why this True Monarch of the Infinite had taken a liking to him. Aside from the Talent he had displayed and his choice of the Infinite Wonders Skill, his frenzied hunting of various Evil Demon Sects likely suited the True Monarch’s temperament. However, did he share the same hatred for evil as the True Monarch of the Infinite? That was hard to say.

Influenced by the education from his past life, his way of viewing things was completely different from this world. Some practices that were considered normal here were simply unbearable to him. For instance, Cultivation Techniques that casually involved cannibalism, like those of the Blood Demon Sect, truly disgusted him. Coupled with his grandfather’s blood feud, whenever he encountered such things, he would definitely wipe them out.

Furthermore, he was in dire need of Merit Points, and the Insect Swarm also needed suitable opponents to fight. These Evil Demon Sects were truly the best opponents. But regardless of the reason, it was ultimately results-oriented. The Demon Suppression Bureau might have many problems, but it never lacked people with a deep hatred for evil, just like the True Monarch of the Infinite. And he had been categorized into this group as well.

“Perhaps, taking him as my master would be a good choice?”

Stepping out of the Golden Wind Tower’s doors, this thought flashed through Qin Yu’s mind. However, he did not head straight to the Demon Suppression Bureau. Instead, he led his Hive Guards toward the Treasure Pavilion. After slaying Shen Tu Lu, he found quite a few good items in the man’s Space Ring, but the Insect Swarm had no use for them. For example, that Alpha-level Low Grade War Axe. Rather than keeping it in his hands, it would be better to exchange it for suitable resources.

However, Qin Yu had no idea that the moment he stepped out of the Golden Wind Tower, an intelligence report regarding him was urgently dispatched to the State City, where it fell into the hands of interested parties. For the Golden Wind Tower to become the most famous intelligence faction in the Great Wei, it naturally had profound foundations behind it. It was just that very few people knew about this.

Deep within the Demon Suppression Bureau branch in the Ling State State City, several figures with profound auras were currently holding a discussion.

“Wuji, this little guy named Qin Yu seems very cautious. He even went out of his way to spend heavily at the Golden Wind Tower to purchase an intelligence report about you,” an elder with a quaint and archaic appearance chuckled.

“Being cautious is a good thing. He must have had fortuitous encounters, so it’s perfectly normal for him to be a bit worried.” Opposite him, the silver-haired elder known as the True Monarch of the Infinite nodded slightly, seeming quite satisfied with Qin Yu.

“These young people think that just because they’ve found some fortuitous opportunities, everyone wants to steal them. Little do they know, among those who can become top-tier experts, which of them hasn’t had fortuitous encounters?” The quaint-looking elder shook his head slightly.

“Five Elements, weren’t we the same when we were young?” the True Monarch of the Infinite laughed.

Qin Yu definitely had fortuitous encounters; anyone could guess that much. But wasn’t it the same for them, True Monarch Primordial Spirits who had lived for thousands of years? For instance, he himself had once entered an Immortal Cave Mansion and obtained its inheritance. From then on, his power skyrocketed!

For him now, comprehending the Great Dao and surviving the Celestial Tribulation to achieve immortality were his primary concerns. As for so-called fortuitous encounters, they were no longer of much use to them. If one survived the Celestial Tribulation, they would enjoy unfettered immortality from then on. If they failed, they would perish, their Dao vanishing entirely!

“He isn’t even your disciple yet, and you’re already protecting him like this? However, a Qi Sea Slaying All Phenomena… is truly a prodigy unseen in ten thousand years. Even if he relied on group attack techniques and a Primordial Mansion Realm Flood Dragon Dragon Battle Formation, his Insect Swarm Control Technique subtly aligns with the profound mysteries of the Military School and Arrays, showing boundless potential as well.”

The quaint elder was precisely another Honored Elder of the Demon Suppression Bureau, bearing the Dao title of True Monarch Five Elements. He cultivated the Five Elements Celestial Escape Scripture and extensively researched the mutual generation and restriction of the Five Elements, as well as the variations of Escape Techniques. He was also a mighty figure in the Primordial Spirit Realm and shared a deep friendship with the True Monarch of the Infinite.

“He may not be yet, but this child’s temperament and methods are very much to my liking.” The True Monarch of the Infinite toyed with a warm and smooth Ancient Jade in his hand, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

“Back in the day, didn’t I also carve out my Dao through mountains of corpses and a Blood Sea, relying solely on my passionate courage? He dared to set up a deadly trap to hunt down a Myriad Phenomena cultivator with merely a Qi Sea. This kind of courage and decisiveness is a hundred times stronger than many mediocre talents who possess nothing but their Realm.

“Furthermore… although he appears to cultivate the Wind and Thunder Dao, since he dared to choose the Infinite Wonders Skill, he must have some underlying confidence. It is more than likely related to that Mother of Ten Thousand Worms. For such a massive beast to simultaneously birth offspring of various different attributes, its Talent must be exceptional. As his Lifebound Pet Beast, he should be able to borrow its Talent for his Cultivation. He is meant to be my disciple.”

Hearing this, True Monarch Five Elements couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head slightly.
