Chapter 22: The Alien Saint, Slain with a Single Finger! The Dissatisfaction of the Mo Family (Seeking Follow-up Reads, Favorites, and Recommendations)

The villain points are substantial, enough to purchase six blind boxes.

Li Xuan sipped his tea, wondering if he should wash his hands and offer a prayer to the gods. Oh, wait, I am the Great Emperor; whom would I need to worship? Li Xuan smiled slightly and exchanged all his villain points for blind boxes.

Six blind boxes were credited.

[You have exchanged for blind boxes and received the rewards: Ginseng Fruit ×4, Breath of Taiyin, Breath of Taiyang.]

Li Xuan looked at the four fruits. They were shaped like infants and carried a fruity fragrance.

"Are these Zhenyuanzi’s Ginseng Fruits?" Li Xuan mused. The four fruits showed no strange phenomena and appeared quite ordinary; he wondered what their effects might be.

Li Xuan put them away, stood up, and took a step. Beneath his feet, the galaxy inverted, and in an instant, he appeared in a star field densely packed with stars. Li Xuan raised his hand, and the breaths of Taiyin and Taiyang manifested in his palms. The Taiyin was icy cold, while the Taiyang was radiant and bright. As invisible fluctuations rippled out, Li Xuan reached out and pressed them together.

"Taiyin and Taiyang."

Li Xuan contemplated. The system had provided him with the method of usage, so without hesitation, he opened his mouth and consumed the breaths of Taiyin and Taiyang.

Instantly, a powerful force erupted within his body. Li Xuan narrowed his eyes. Inside him, his withered Emperor blood surged and flowed, and his physical form began to unleash power. Silently, Li Xuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he raised his hand, where a wisp of gray light swirled.

"Light of Destruction."

Li Xuan smiled and retracted the light. This radiance was formed by the fusion of the Taiyin and Taiyang breaths, and its power was immense. Moreover, the two yin and yang energies had invigorated his Emperor blood; vaguely, he felt he could soon take another step forward.

Li Xuan took out the four Ginseng Fruits and ate them. They melted upon contact with his tongue, and a cooling sensation spread through his body, nourishing his Imperial physique. Li Xuan narrowed his eyes comfortably. His body bore hidden wounds from when he first ascended to the rank of Great Emperor and was ambushed by the dark forbidden zones that sought to devour him.

The corners of Li Xuan’s mouth curled into a cold smile. This debt would certainly be settled. For nine thousand years, wandering through the forbidden zones had been nothing more than minor skirmishes. Originally, he had planned to destroy a few dark forbidden zones at the end of his life, but now...

Li Xuan stood up. Each Ginseng Fruit had added fifty years to his lifespan. It seemed little—and it was indeed little—but for an Emperor like Li Xuan, it was quite good. His lifespan had suddenly increased by two hundred years!

Li Xuan took a step, preparing to leave, when suddenly his brows twitched and his expression turned cold. His figure vanished instantly.

...

In a certain star field, countless stars shone as two figures suddenly appeared. Both were dressed in black robes with stardust twinkling upon them.

One of them sniffed the air, his eyes filled with ferocity. "This is the place. That 'food's' blood energy is indeed decaying; he can no longer hide it."

"The Master said we must track him down. His lifespan is reaching its end, and no one knows how many old things are preparing for this," the other said coldly.

"Oh, preparing for what?"

The gray-headed one subconsciously replied, "Naturally, preparing ingredients and tools. That is a massive source of food."

As he spoke, he sensed something was wrong. He turned around abruptly and saw a figure in the distance watching him with indifferent eyes.

He heard that figure ask with a smile, "So, am I the massive source of food you speak of?"

"Emperor Xuan?!" The other, the yellow-headed one, looked at Li Xuan, his voice filled with delight.

The gray-headed one grinned, his expression hideous. "Emperor Xuan! We were looking for you, but I never expected you to deliver yourself to our doorstep!"

Li Xuan chuckled. "What cultivation level are you two at, to dare be so arrogant before me?"

The yellow-headed one sneered. "Emperor Xuan, do you think being a Great Emperor makes you invincible? Especially since you are the weakest of all the Emperors!"

He flashed behind Li Xuan, and the two surrounded him. Both wore savage smiles; today, they would hunt a Great Emperor!

Li Xuan shook his head, his expression calm. "I am curious, who gave you the confidence to do this?"

Just then, two auras appeared—one gray, one yellow. The two merged instantly, and a powerful aura expanded, causing countless stars to tremble.

"Truly dull-witted. Did you really think we were just chatting with you? Yellow-Gray Formation, rise!"

The gray-headed one laughed hideously. A formation appeared, filled with yellow and gray hues that enveloped the entire star field. Within the formation, stars touched by the yellow-gray energy were instantly annihilated.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, watching the two outside the formation. "Are you finally ready?"

The yellow-headed one was stunned. "What?" Both felt that something was wrong.

Li Xuan didn't speak. A flash of black and white flickered in his hand, and suddenly, a massive grinding disk appeared. The yin and yang energies transformed into a Taiji grinding disk that swept across the star field.

The Yellow-Gray Formation dissolved into nothingness without a sound, and a gust of wind blew against the faces of the yellow and gray-headed ones.

The two were stunned. Li Xuan smiled slightly at them. "I didn't expect ingredients to deliver themselves to my door today."

The gray-headed one shouted, his expression filled with extreme terror. "Run!"

They had been hunting, only to be struck by their prey! No, this prey had simply disguised itself too well! How could Emperor Xuan be this powerful? What was that black and white thing?! The gray-headed one did not understand; he turned and fled.

The yellow-headed one’s body trembled. "Emperor Xuan! You..." How could this be? Their Yellow-Gray Formation was bestowed by the Master!

Li Xuan naturally did not answer. This time, he acted very gently; he flicked his finger against their heads. *Bang.*

Blood flowed from their noses. The gray-headed one stumbled, but he found himself standing before Li Xuan. Terrified, he collapsed to his knees. Both were vomiting blood, their bodies weak and powerless. Their hearts felt as if they were shattering, pounding uncontrollably.

Powerful, invincible, helpless—this was how they felt facing Li Xuan.

Li Xuan clicked his tongue. "To think you are at the Saint realm, yet you cannot even withstand a flick of my finger."

Li Xuan finished them off. Instantly, the corpses of two giant beasts appeared in the starry sky. They blotted out the sun and emitted powerful auras. Li Xuan shrank them down, revealing two wild wolves—one with yellow hair on its head, the other with gray.

Li Xuan lifted the two wolves, looked down at them, and chuckled. "Alien race, forbidden zones. Heh, I will visit your nests sooner or later."

Thinking his blood energy was fading and his strength weak? Li Xuan would like to see how many lives these aliens and forbidden zones had to withstand him!

This time, Li Xuan had also intended to test the yin and yang energies. They were better than he imagined, and even better, both the energies and the Ginseng Fruits could heal his body. He hadn't expected anyone to bump into him like this, acting as target practice—how could Li Xuan not take advantage of that? The black and white grinding disk was also a useful technique.

Carrying the two beasts, Li Xuan turned and vanished. These two were treasures; their bodies were great medicine.

Not long after Li Xuan left...

In a land of the unknown, within a dark forbidden zone, a voice echoed: "The Yellow and Gray ones are dead? Investigate clearly who killed them."

Someone responded, "That ingredient has matured; it is time to make preparations."

"Indeed." "Indeed."

Voices echoed. This was clearly the nest of an alien forbidden zone.

...

At the Tailong Sect, Li Xuan appeared and summoned Li Zhan.

"Ancestor, the family is already preparing rewards for the disciples. Will you be attending, Ancestor?" Li Zhan asked respectfully.

Li Xuan shook his head. "I won't go. Oh, right—take these, have Mo Jie prepare them, and distribute them to the Li and Mo family disciples. Each disciple may only eat a small piece."

Li Xuan tossed the wolves to Li Zhan. At this moment, the two wolves appeared ordinary and somewhat plump, like common wild wolves. Li Xuan had Mo Jie handle them because both wolves were at the Saint realm, and their bodies could not be processed by anyone below the Saint realm.

For the two wolves, a small piece for each Li and Mo family member would be more than enough.

Li Zhan glanced at the wolves, feeling confused. No matter how he looked at them, they seemed like ordinary wolves. Soon, he felt disdain for himself—how could anything given by the Ancestor be ordinary? He was truly being foolish!

Without hesitation, Li Zhan took the wolves to find Mo Jie.

At that moment, Mo Jie was reprimanding Mo Xiao and Mo Leng, surrounded by Mo family members and disciples. When they saw Li Zhan arrive, they lowered their heads, dissatisfaction in their eyes. Because their Mo family had become vassals to the Li family—an order from the Ancestor they could not disobey—the resentment remained.

*What does the Ancestor’s master think he is doing? We are a Saint family! The Li family is just a family from a small town with no fame.*

*The Ancestor must be senile to make us vassals to the Li family!*

Mo Jie glanced at the Mo family members, naturally sensing their dissatisfaction. He cursed inwardly at these fools.

"Ancestor Mo, our Ancestor wants you to prepare these two wild wolves for the Li and Mo disciples to eat," Li Zhan said, holding up the wolves.

The Mo family members present were dumbstruck, staring at the wolves in the Li family head's hands, feeling indignant. *Not only are they making our Ancestor a cook, but they’re splitting two wild wolves for the Li and Mo families to share?! The Li family really is from a backwater town! Do they think we can’t afford wild wolves?! What is so rare about them?!*

Mo Jie looked down at the wolves in Li Zhan's hands, and his pupils dilated in shock!
