“I’ll deal with him myself,” Yu Tang said. “I want to figure out why he’s in this situation.”
Having traversed the first nine worlds, and combining this with the fragments he had previously recalled, Yu Tang made his conjectures about Wei Yuan.
I'm actually more inclined to believe that Wei Yuan is a pure demon without any intelligence.
However, based on the brief exchange just now, including Wei Yuan knowing that his name was Wei Yuan and mentioning the word "mother," it can be inferred that Wei Yuan must have had a rather painful experience before meeting him.
This makes it more consistent with the fates of the villains in the previous worlds.
Yu Tang did not draw his sword, but used his bare hands to block Wei Yuan's every attack.
The cold, black air currents attempted to invade Yu Tang's body and bewitch his mind when their skin touched.
However, the difference in their strength is so great that it's no exaggeration to say it's an insurmountable chasm.
With this little bit of knowledge, trying to influence Yutang is simply a pipe dream.
After exchanging a hundred blows in the air, Yu Tang gradually realized that Wei Yuan was now in a berserk state completely devoid of consciousness.
As the two sparred, Wei Yuan actually began to learn his moves, like a fighting machine actively optimizing his abilities, improving every second.
Just as he was about to learn more, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound in the distance.
His expression hardened, and he made a decisive move, his hand moving so fast it was almost a blur, swiftly striking several acupoints on Wei Yuan.
Then, embracing the limp boy, she took out a robe from her spatial storage and covered Wei Yuan before the cultivators from the divine realm could reach him.
The next instant, four cultivators dressed in four different colored robes stood in a circle around Yu Tang, bowing to him and saying, "Divine Lord..."
Yu Tang regained his previous memories, so he knew that they were the four guardian deities of the divine realm: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
He asked knowingly, "Shouldn't you Four Symbols Door Gods be guarding the four gates of the divine realm? Why did you come here?"
Qinglong was a handsome middle-aged man with a steady demeanor and a very polite voice. He said to Yu Tang, "We just noticed the soaring demonic energy rising from your place, so we thought we'd come and see what was going on. If we have offended the Divine Lord, please forgive us."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the clothes Yu Tang had used to cover Wei Yuan, his eyes darkening as he tried to see what was hidden beneath those robes.
But Yu Tang had already set up a barrier above it, which he couldn't see through.
"It's alright..." Yu Tang said with a smile, "Even you Four Symbols can be wrong sometimes."
Since you haven't found anything here, hurry back. Guarding the four gates of the Divine Realm is more important.
Even if Qinglong had doubts in his heart, he dared not ask any more questions in front of the legendary number one person in the God Realm, and could only nod in agreement.
Before he left, the white tiger guardian beside him descended from mid-air and walked up to Xiao Jin.
The White Tiger Gatekeeper was a handsome young man dressed in white robes and silver armor. His hair was tied up high, and he had faint silver whiskers on his cheeks. He walked with a swagger, slapped Xiao Jin's big head, and rubbed it affectionately: "Xiao Jin, come to my house tonight. I got something good that I guarantee you'll like!"
Xiao Jin blinked. He remembered that this white tiger had loved to tease him since he was a child, always making him furious.
But I'll be nicer to him occasionally.
This made Xiao Jin feel very strange about him; in short, she didn't know what he was up to.
"Only a fool would come looking for you!" Little Gold slapped away the white tiger's hand with a tiger paw, then distanced itself from him, sticking out its tongue in disdain.
Seeing this, the white tiger wasn't annoyed and simply said lightly, "It's a good thing that can turn you back into a human..."
Then he turned around and chased after Qinglong, saying, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Take it or leave it."
Xiao Jin's eyes widened in an instant.
Because he remembered that someone else had said the same thing to him before.
Moreover, when he was working for the main god, he was in human form.
But now that he and Yu Tang have returned to the God Realm 100,000 years ago, they do not have the ability to become human.
With this in mind, it seems he has no choice but to go and test the waters with the White Tiger tonight!
After the Four Symbols Gatekeepers left, Yu Tang waved his hand and set up several layers of barriers in the valley where he lived.
Only then did they wrap Wei Yuan in a robe and enter the wooden house.
As Yu Tang unfolded his robes, he frowned, a dull ache in his heart.
Because he saw that Wei Yuan was covered in blood, with blood droplets seeping from every pore, almost turning the boy into a blood-soaked figure.
Yu Tang placed his hand on Wei Yuan's spiritual platform. Fearing that the difference in their origins might cause a backlash, Yu Tang first transformed his own true energy into natural spiritual energy before inputting it into Wei Yuan's body.
Along with the spiritual energy, a wisp of Yu Tang's divine thought was also inputted.
He wanted to find out why Wei Yuan's skin was bleeding.
But when he found the reason, he felt a heart-wrenching pain that almost made him unable to breathe.
Chapter 4
Died for the villain for the tenth time (04)
Wei Yuan's body is terrifying.
The black currents were frantically destroying his bones, meridians, and various organs.
But it will quickly rebuild after being destroyed.
Just like modifying this body, through repeated destruction and trial and error, it becomes stronger and more adaptable to power when it is reassembled.
But the pain involved in this process is indescribable.
It's no wonder Wei Yuan let out that scream.
With her fingers trembling slightly, Yu Tang tried to compose herself. After helping Wei Yuan stop the bleeding, she picked up the boy and carried him to another wooden house.
As he walked, he instructed Xiao Jin: "Xiao Jin, next, I need to seal the demonic energy in Wei Yuan's body to alleviate his pain. Help me wake up the locust tree spirit and have him protect me."
"What does this have to do with the locust tree spirit?" Little Jin was stunned, then said aggrievedly, "I'm protecting you! Am I, such a big tiger, really less important than a locust tree spirit in your heart!"
Yu Tang, who had initially felt sorry for Wei Yuan, was amused by the pitiful Xiao Jin and said helplessly, "Don't you have plans tonight? Going to your plans is better than me guarding the gate for you, right?"
Little Golden Tiger's eyes widened: "Who promised to go find him?!"
Yu Tang knew he was putting on a brave face, but he didn't call him out on it.
He said, "Alright, then you can wake up the locust tree spirit for me and tell him to protect me."
As for you, you're free today, so stop revolving around me.
After saying that, he entered the wooden house, placed Wei Yuan in the central medicinal pool, took off his armor and outer garment, sat behind the boy, pulled open Wei Yuan's black robe, revealing his pale back smeared with blood.
Now that Yu Tang is a true god, his blood contains the power to exorcise evil spirits. The bite Wei Yuan took from him just now was probably the trigger that made this kid go berserk.
Now, Yu Tang can use this blood to set a seal behind Wei Yuan's back.
His original intention was to completely remove the demonic energy from Wei Yuan's body.
But the investigation he had just conducted made him realize that Wei Yuan's body was like a container for demonic energy.
Moreover, it has already merged with demonic energy; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to be constantly modified and recombined.
Extracting all the demonic energy carries a great risk of causing Wei Yuan's immediate death.
So, to be on the safe side, Yu Tang decided to seal it first and then figure out a solution later.
With his left index finger shaped like a knife, Yu Tang cut the pad of his right finger and urged his blood to flow from the wound. Recalling the highest-level sealing formation in his mind, he concentrated on drawing the sealing formation diagram on Wei Yuan's back.
The instant the formation was completed, he moved his right hand away, forming a claw shape, and activated the formation by channeling his own power at a distance of one inch from Wei Yuan's back!
"ah--"
Wei Yuan, still unconscious, let out a roar, and the black currents and patterns began to gather little by little towards the formation behind him.
The speed was extremely slow.
Moreover, each movement consumed a large amount of Yu Tang's true energy, making the process much more difficult than he had imagined.
Fortunately, Yu Tang possesses a large enough amount of internal energy; all that's needed now is time...
Xiao Jin outside was still feeling awkward because of Yu Tang's words.
It's like you're saying who cares about that stinky white tiger!
He vividly remembers how that white tiger bullied him when he was a child!
Despite being a majestic and imposing mythical beast, it always liked to steal his food and followed him around when he was still quite small, calling him a little kitten who would never grow up.
Before he could fly, we would often grab him by the scruff of his neck, lift him up into the air, and then let go.
Just as he's about to land and screams in fear, catch him again, laughing heartily while ruffling his head and calling him a silly little devil.
Xiao Jin's retaliation was to bite his finger.
But the white tiger seemed not to feel any pain, letting him vent his anger.
Then give him some benefits, and once he calms down, continue to mess with him!
What kind of idiot would do something like this!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Xiao Jin slammed his tiger paw heavily on the ground, causing several more locust blossoms to fall.
It even woke up those sentient plants.
The plants stretched their limbs, and the old locust tree opened its eyes.
A human face appeared on the thick tree trunk and asked Xiao Jin, "Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you again?"
Thinking of something, the old man asked with a chuckle, "Could it be that you've been bullied by the White Tiger God again?"
The flower and grass spirits also laughed, their voices clear and melodious, and they teased, "Oh dear, old locust tree, you're asking a pointless question. Judging from his appearance, he must have been bullied by the God."
"Even though he's over three hundred years old now and has grown to such a huge size, he still doesn't have a shred of cunning..."
"To put it bluntly, isn't it just being stupid..."
"Our little Jinjin is silly, but the cutest..."
"You're the idiots!" Little Jin's face turned bright red from the teasing, and she jumped over the wall in anger: "Your whole family are idiots!"
After saying that, he couldn't stay in the courtyard any longer. He snorted and told the old locust tree to guard Yu Pond, then quickly ran out.
He didn't want to be the butt of jokes anymore!
Flying through the realm of gods, observing the city buildings, every blade of grass and every tree, the memories in Xiao Jin's brain became clearer and clearer, making him more convinced that this tenth world was indeed the world he and Yu Tang had lived in.
It was the realm of gods 100,000 years ago.
