Chapter 323 A Scheme That Doesn't Seem Like Four
Chapter 323 A Scheme That Doesn't Seem Like Four
"The path of humanity is insignificant, the path of immortals is boundless, but the path of ghosts is joyful..."
The way of heaven and earth is to create all things through yin and yang. The interplay of yin and yang is called the way. Embracing yang while carrying yin, the interaction of these two forces brings harmony...
The heavens are vast and boundless, and my Way flourishes daily.
As Hao Chen circulated the Dharma, boundless solar holy power surged within his body, while the extremely yin and cold yin holy power permeated the air.
The forces of Yin and Yang collided continuously within Hao Chen's body, reflecting Hao Chen as a Pixiu that was half gold and half black.
As the Yin and Yang sacred power within Hao Chen's body continued to intertwine, a god with a blurred face but incomparably majestic appearance gradually emerged behind him. The Yin and Yang energies transformed into the shapes of the sun and moon, rotating with the god.
Along with the divine being, a drop of purple blood the size of a fingertip also appeared.
The reason Hao Chen did all this was solely to refine this drop of purple blood.
"Damn it, what is the origin of this Remnant Heaven? Why is his blood so difficult to refine?"
As dawn approached, Hao Chen cursed under his breath. He then calmed the surging divine power within him and returned the purple blood to his body to be suppressed by the World Tree.
After a night of refining, less than one-tenth of the purple blood had been refined, a speed that completely exceeded Hao Chen's expectations.
Hao Chen guessed that this might be because Can Tian was still alive, which caused his blood to carry his undying will, making it difficult to refine.
Of course, Hao Chen believes that it is more likely related to the origin of Cantian. Although Hao Chen does not know exactly where Cantian came from, it is definitely a more advanced world, a world whose Dao and Law far surpass Xuanhuang.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so powerless during the confrontation, with his physical body and primordial spirit being completely destroyed.
If Cantian hadn't seemed to have been frightened away by some being at the end, Haochen felt he might not have made it back alive.
But between life and death lies both great terror and great opportunity, and this purple blood is what Hao Chen gained from facing the remnant of the heavens.
Having refined less than one-tenth of the purple blood, Hao Chen could sense a change in his strength, and his soul seemed to have undergone an evolution.
Hao Chen was confident that once he completely refined this drop of purple blood, he would be able to glimpse the Dao of the Broken Heaven and his strength would definitely surpass that of his predecessor, the Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor.
By then, the so-called eternal night calamity, or those old friends who absorbed the blood of immortality, may no longer be a problem.
However, what Hao Chen cared about more than these things was the appearance of Cantian, which made him realize that there was a new world that was even more vast than the Beast World and the Xuanhuang World.
"Wait, I seem to have overlooked something—a more advanced world, the Ancient Land of Origin!!!"
Suddenly, Hao Chen remembered the Ancient Land of Origin. He recalled that the First Qilin had said that this world of beasts originated from that mysterious ancient land, the Ancient Land of Origin.
Within the ancient land of origin, there are also Deer Man Shop, as well as Bixie, Tianlu, and Qibuxiang, all of which are familiar to Haochen as furry creatures.
Wuchen, who guards the Ancient Origin Land, once said that the Ancient Origin Land is the residence of an unparalleled ruler. However, due to certain reasons, the Ancient Origin Land was temporarily hidden, which led to the creation of the Beast World where Haochen is now.
Thinking about all this, Hao Chen felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that the world where Can Tian was located was the same world as the world where the ruler behind the Ancient Origin Land was located?
"Speaking of Cantian, and the Nine Burials he mentioned back then, could they be the reason why the master behind the Origin Ancient Land hid the Origin Ancient Land?!"
However, Hao Chen quickly calmed down. There was no point in thinking about it now. When his strength reached a certain level, he would naturally be qualified to understand these things, and he could even join in as a player.
"Awooo...wooo!!!"
Suddenly, Hao Chen felt a pain in his tail. He turned around and saw Tian Lu and Seventy-Seven biting his tail.
"Why are you two up so early? Why don't you go back to sleep?" Hao Chen said, pulling his tail back from Seventy-Seven and Tianlu's mouths.
He then glanced speechlessly at the drool on his tail, but made no move to clean it, leaving Seventy-Seven and Tianlu's drool on his tail.
"Hehe, Haochen, you're one to talk, aren't you? You got up this early too." Tianlu chuckled, completely unconcerned about the incident where he had Seventy-Seven bite Haochen's tail.
Seventy-Seven continued, "Brother, the Four-Legged Beast said yesterday that it would take us on a trip. Are you going or not?"
"A trip?!" Upon hearing Seventy-Seven's words, Hao Chen immediately remembered that yesterday the Four-Faced Beast had indeed mentioned that it was to reward him and Tianlu for their hard work during this period.
In addition, to celebrate Seventy-Seven moving into the Deer Man's shop, the Four-Faced Beast planned to take them out for a trip.
This excuse might fool Tianlu, but Haochen didn't believe it at all. Didn't he know what he had been doing all this time? He was lucky not to get a spanking from the Qilin, let alone a reward?
"You guys go ahead, I won't go. Have fun."
Hao Chen decisively shook his head and refused Tian Lu and the others' invitation. Who knew how the Four-Faced Beast would trick them?
But just then, Hao Chen noticed that Bi Xie, who was always inseparable from Tian Lu, was not by Tian Lu's side at this moment. Could it be that Bi Xie was still sleeping?
Just as Haochen asked Tianlu about the warding off evil spirits, Tianlu's face immediately fell, clearly unhappy, which made Haochen even more curious about what had happened.
"Brother Tianlu, tell me quickly, where did Bixie go? Why aren't you two together anymore?"
Under Hao Chen's persistent questioning, and even with the lure of gold, Tian Lu finally relented and revealed the whereabouts of Bi Xie.
As Hao Chen expected, because Bi Xie and Si Bu Xiang had been separated for too long, they made up an excuse last night to visit Shi Qilin and left Tian Lu behind.
This amazed Hao Chen; indeed, in the face of love, brotherhood is insignificant.
"Achoo!!!" On the other side, Bixie, who had gone to visit the First Qilin with the Four-Faced Beast, suddenly sneezed.
"What's wrong, Little Plum Blossom? Did I fly too fast?" The Four-Faced Beast stopped flying and looked at the Evil-Repelling Beast with concern.
Bixie shook his head and said, "It's nothing, maybe Tianlu misses me."
"Then let's hurry back and bring back some gold and silver treasures from Father to surprise Little Blue Circle. He'll be very happy."
"Ok!"
As if recalling Tianlu's happy expression, Bixie couldn't help but smile, revealing a joyful look that stunned Sibuxiang.
"Why are you staring at me like that, Four-Faced Beast? Is there something on my face?" Pixie asked curiously.
"No, no, Little Plum Blossom, you're the prettiest. No, I mean, let's hurry to Father's place, he must be getting impatient."
Sibuxiang lowered its head nervously, not daring to meet Bixie's gaze, and flew swiftly towards the direction of Shiqilin on auspicious clouds.
……
On the other hand, because Hao Chen refused to participate in the tour activities organized by the Four-Unlikes organization, Tian Lu became suspicious and immediately went to find the Four-Unlikes.
"Hey, you four-legged creature, tell me honestly, are you really going to take me and Seventy-Seven out to play? Or are you planning to trick me again?!"
"Uh, this..." The Four-Faced Beast never expected Tianlu to become suspicious, and for a moment it didn't know how to get out of it.
The strange creature's reaction made Tianlu even more suspicious of the purpose of this trip.
Tianlu pounced and knocked the four-legged creature to the ground. Ignoring its cries, he grabbed the fur on its chest and said, "Four-legged creature, you wouldn't be pretending to be on vacation, would you? You actually want to take this opportunity to sell me and Seventy-Seven!"
"Ouch, that hurts!" The Qilin hadn't expected Tianlu to be so fierce, and now his butt was in real trouble.
However, Tianlu didn't care about all that; all he wanted to know was whether the Four-Unlikes was lying to him.
Seeing that the Four-Unlikes remained silent for a long time, Tianlu gradually became anxious, and his voice even carried a hint of a sob: "Four-Unlikes, please don't sell me and Seventy-Seven, okay? I promise I will take good care of the shop from now on."
"What?! Sold off?!" Seventy-Seven was startled by Tianlu's words. Involuntarily, the tragic story of how he was sold into a black market by the Four-Unlikes, then worked day and night, was beaten if he wasn't serious, and had no food to eat, eventually starving into thin strips.
"Please don't sell me, I'll be very good. Besides, my brother is rich, you can pay whatever price you want. Please don't sell me and Tianlu."
Seventy-seven hugged the leg of the giant deer and cried incessantly, wiping her tears and snot on it, making the giant deer feel disgusted.
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't talk nonsense or think wildly. No one will sell you."
The Qilin looked around nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when it saw no sign of the evil spirit.
The Four-Faced Beast wondered if he had gone mad or something to come up with the idea of selling Tianlu and the others. If Bixie, who was obsessed with his younger brother, found out, he would tear him to pieces immediately. He wanted to live a few more years.
Fortunately, Rabbit Lord, who had heard the commotion, appeared just in time. He helped the four-legged creature up with a pained expression, and then looked at Tianlu reproachfully: "Pipi, what are you doing now?"
"I... I'm sorry, Qi Xiang Bu!" Tianlu realized that he had acted impulsively and quickly apologized to Qi Xiang Bu.
After learning why Tianlu was looking for the Four-Legged Beast, Rabbit Lord laughed and said, "So that's what you were worried about, Pipi. I've already prepared everything for you."
As if he had expected this, Rabbit Lord took out two contracts from his person and handed them to Tianlu.
The contract was titled "Luren Store Team Building Tourism Contract" at the top, followed by several clauses.
"Don't worry, Pipi. We're old friends. Would I lie to you? If you have no objections, just sign your name on it. Seventy-seven, you too."
Tianlu glanced at the contract, but suddenly pointed to the "99 yuan/person" and asked, "Isn't the 'Four-Legged Beast' free? Why do we have to pay?"
Upon hearing this, Rabbit and the Four-Faced Beast exchanged a glance, and then the Four-Faced Beast stepped forward to explain: "Uh, Pipi, I didn't say it was free. Besides, 99 is a very cheap price, you can't go wrong with it. Sometimes Pipi, you should think about your own problems. Why can't you even get 99?"
Provoked by the Four-Unlikes' words, Tianlu instantly lost his temper and grabbed Seventy-Seven, saying to the Four-Unlikes, "Who said I didn't have any? Four-Unlikes, Seventy-Seven's share should also be deducted from my salary."
"Alright!" The four-legged creature smiled wickedly, as if its plan had succeeded.
After Tianlu and Qishiqi left, the Four-Faced Beast took the contract with Tianlu and Qishiqi's paw prints and waved it at Rabbit Lord: "Rabbit Lord, you've worked hard. We'll split it 30/70, you get 30% and I get 70%."
"We're not a 'four-no-like' (a derogatory term for a person who doesn't resemble another animal), are we really okay with deceiving Pipi like this? What if his brother finds out..."
"It's alright, we can just say it was Haochen's idea."
On the other side, after separating from Tianlu, Haochen suddenly realized that Zhanhu had dared to bully his clone last time, and it was time to settle the score with him. He wondered if Zhanhu had prepared his favorite dregs.
However, before Hao Chen could find Zhan Hu, he first encountered Hua Jiao, who was dozing under a tree.
Looking at the sleeping peppercorn, Hao Chen suddenly thought of something interesting and couldn't help but move closer.
