Chapter 1499 - 702: Shenyang Cave (2)

Chapter 1499: Chapter 702: Shenyang Cave (2)

Hmm, it really is a literal monkey, a White Ape. Initially a monster, it gained enlightenment in Shenyang Cave, later subdued by Xuan Nu, who accepted it as a disciple. It then mastered supreme sword skills, achieved the Nine Luminaries Unification, and inherited the Jiuxiao Sword Dao, thus earning the title Jiuxiao.

Yes, he, or it, is Jiuxiao, Yuan Jiuxiao. ℯℯ𝘭.

Therefore, unlike the ruthless attitude over at the Hu Temple, Tie Dan has never shied away from practicing the Carefree Method, simply because he is indeed a legitimate heir of Jiuxiao...

Cough cough, of course, Jiuxiao Taoist Lord did a lot of major things back then, infamous, cough cough, known throughout the world. Additionally, with the later Dragon-Tiger Duel, the Sword Sect split into the Nine Yin Sword Sect and the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion, leading to a fierce internal battle at the mountain gates, resulting in a bloody self-slaughter. Consequently, the sect deliberately avoided mentioning Lord Yuan and Jiuxiao.

However, undeniably, the original Sword Sect inheritance is clearly and undoubtedly passed down by Lord Yuan.

It was said that this was exactly when Lord Yuan was castrated, cough cough. There are two versions of unofficial historical gossip: One says he was castrated by Xuan Nu when teasing her unsuccessfully, another says he knelt down, begged for mercy, vowed to reform, and castrated himself voluntarily. Due to avoiding disgrace upon the ancestor, this trivial matter was not documented clearly in the Sect Leader’s Secret Record...

In short, it was precisely because Lord Yuan disguised himself as a eunuch, infiltrating the Ziwei Constellation as an undercover agent to find a healing method and, in doing so, discovered many internal secrets of the Immortal Palace and the company, learned about the chicken-and-egg Heavenly Demon legend, and ignited endless calamities and conflicts in later generations.

This undercover mission allowed Lord Yuan to steal the Imperial Sword of the Immortal Palace and defect with the sword assassin trained by the Beichen Guards, turning to the Mystic Sect. In the final grand battle, they played a vital role, coordinating with Thunder Ancestor’s troops for an inside-outside attack, a gate betrayal, enabling Xuan Nu to have the opportunity to charge into the palace, assassinate the emperor on the throne, and put an end to the Immortal Palace’s thousand-year reign.

Consequently, those sword slaves were also accepted by Lord Yuan as disciples and considered direct descendants of the Mystic Sect, marking the true origin of the Sword Sect lineage.

Well, generally speaking, the Sword Sect and Leisure Sect are tangled curses of cause and effect from the same lineage, very complicated indeed, but these are not the focus, just background introductions.

The focus is that the Green Sun Treasure Sword is one of the swords stolen by Lord Yuan from the Imperial Bureau of the Immortal Palace. In truth, the treasure sword is just a disguise, as the thing was actually a company-made weapon used for enabling the boss to effortlessly dominate the world with top-notch hacks. Consequently, ever since the Sword Sect’s inception, the Green Sun Sword became the famous Divinity Transformation Sword Lord, recognized as one of the Four Lords safeguarding Nine Yin Mountain.

However, the sword later disappeared, unexpectedly reappearing in Shenyang Cave. And since this is clearly the cave dwelling of Jiuxiao Taoist Lord, it shows that the demon god sealed here is certainly not as worthless as it looks.

After all, if the trash can be smashed with Gang Fist 300, then why bother using the Divine Sword Seal, wait for millennia for the Daoist to come for the elimination, and why trouble Liu Xiaoliu to execute intricate plans and go to the trouble of arranging a catastrophe here?

Therefore, Tie Dan cautiously took a walk around the seal, worried that at the end of the final fight, unexpected occurrences might take place with some minor suspense, like a yellowbird or fisherman stealing the prize, and checked the seal again, completing the deduced puzzle bit by bit.

As he anticipated, this place is a company’s production base.

Yes, it’s a high-end production line specifically for customizing replica bosses. If calculations are correct, the company used Kunlun Base like this for regularly producing Great Demon Giant Monsters and world-ending gods and demons. It’s presumably for the boss to play with or for fitting into the script.

Well, in the Immortal World, where are nobles, where’s the equality? There’s only inherent distinction of status, difference in species. Even if everyone can endlessly evolve with a bright and beautiful future, if you’re born a Brother Billa Chimera, aren’t you starting way ahead compared to a maggot?

Enough, let’s not talk about these frustrating things, discovering issues requires solving them.

But after looking around, Tie Dan realized he didn’t have a solution to the problem.

Although it’s called a Chimera production site, there is no laboratory assembly line, no facilities or equipment for him to destroy. Shenyang Cave appeared to be just an ordinary underground cavern, with the only difference being very bizarre patterns carved on the surrounding rock walls, detectable only upon close exploration.

But it’s these inconspicuous patterns that are key to making Chimera.

Hmm, as Tie Dan mentioned, since he himself is a Chimera who attained enlightenment.

For human eyes, these patterns are meaningless and weird, but viewed through beast’s eyes... Hmm, still meaningless. Yet they’re not meant for human eyes, but for wetware scanners, like QR codes, designed for company’s wetware scan to input verification codes, unlocking various VIP premium privileges.

Yes, honestly, whether you’re Brother Billa big gorilla or a maggot, the starting differences between the original wetware forms aren’t as significant. Everyone starts as embryos, growing bit by bit. It’s just the genetic lock of maggots has more restrictions, while Chimera’s biological constraints are lesser. Eating eight meals a day, some can build them into muscles, while others have to excrete them all. Thus, as time passes, the difference in potential combat strength that can ultimately be achieved broadens significantly.
