Chapter 1716: Two Shitstirrers

“So you’re a hypocrite too, huh? You kill to your heart’s content just because no karma will result from your actions here?” Chu Xingran sneered at Lu Yun.

“I’m not a hypocrite,” Lu Yun paused with surprise. “I never said that I’m an outstanding citizen of society. I’m vile, ohhh yeah, I’m completely vile.”

He grinned broadly and winked at Chu Xingran, who shuddered involuntarily. It didn’t matter whether Lu Yun was a hypocrite or an unsavory character, neither option was good. Once Lu Yun went back on his word, he could ally with Ao Qin to crush Chu Xingran’s soul to pieces in the blink of an eye.

No, no, he’d become part of the young man’s Hell Legion.

Subconsciously, Chu Xingran took another step back. Lu Yun ignored him.

“Although the slaughter continues, the atmosphere has lightened immensely. We can’t wait any longer. The will attacking Fairylands is growing stronger and I can’t hold it off much longer,” Lu Yun murmured as he looked in the direction of the world of sequence.

“Are we heading to the original emperor?” Ao Qin knew what Lu Yun was here for and readied himself. He also wanted to meet the legendary emperor, the one who’d accessed eighteen levels of sequence in the Land of Reincarnation.

While eighteen levels wasn’t the peak of sequence, it was almost impossible to reach those heights in this broken land. Eighteen levels represented the perfection of a stage of sequence.

After the original emperor, the second strongest was the Sea Emperor. He was only at fifteen levels. There were also Haidong Lin, Jian Bu’er, and Dongfang Mo—they ranged from eleven to twelve levels of sequence.

The Land of Reincarnation was its own world that opposed the outside world. The world was incomplete and subject to heavy restrictions, so anyone who could access eighteen levels of sequence was extraordinary.

“The yang tomb’s exit is near the world of sequence. I can help the two of you leave if we make it over there,” Lu Yun said. “I don’t have any great ambitions about the world. I’ll be leaving after I meet the original emperor.”

“I’m afraid that won’t do,” Chu Xingran smirked at Lu Yun. “Even if you have no thoughts about the world of sequence, it’ll come for you.”

“What do you mean?” Lu Yun paused.

“What do you think I was doing here with the Sea Dao Flower?” Ao Qin grinned.

“Does… it have something to do with the world of sequence?” Lu Yun tensed.

“Mmhmm,” Chu Xingran revealed. “A Dao Flower is a treasure nurtured out of a world of sequence. It’s of no use for the world it comes from, but it can sense and subdue other new worlds of sequence.

“Your Dark Dao Flower should be the one that the Spacetime King brought. Someone took it from him and turned it over to you,” Chu Xingran paused before continuing, “The Spacetime King’s Dark Dao Flower was naturally meant to conquer this new world of sequence. He probably never thought that multiple parties would ally together to scheme against him.”

Ao Qin’s expression turned stiff. The same had happened to him, but he’d been one step ahead of his attackers and hid the Sea Dao Flower first. Otherwise, if it hadn’t been for his approval in the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals, not even Chu Xingran’s altar would’ve summoned the flower.

“What about the white Dao Flower on Mount Xuanhuang?” Lu Yun frowned.

“That Dao Flower…” Ao Qin knew about it since he’d once cultivated on the mountain and seen the flower. “Do you know what seeds of nothing are?”

Lu Yun shook his head blankly. He’d only ever seen the creation seeds that were derived from seeds of nothing, he didn’t know what the latter was.

“A world of sequence becomes a seed of nothing once it is no more.” It was Chu Xingran who answered him. “There was once a large world of sequence in the Land of Reincarnation, but it was destroyed in a battle. The world became a seed of nothing after its destruction, and the Hongmeng, chaos, and worlds are all grown from it.

“That Dao Flower is the only sign that it once existed. I plotted against the Hongmeng and worlds because I wanted the seed of nothing. I wanted to recreate a world of sequence from it,” Chu Xingran sighed and smiled ruefully. “It was during this loop that I finally realized my strength and my nation’s strength is insufficient to facilitate the seed to develop into a world again. So I’ve given up.”

The Land of Reincarnation repeated death and rebirth in an endless fashion. Beings of the outside world who entered it underwent the same cycle. They were unable to influence the loop or change anything about it, but they knew what was happening to them. They repeated the same things over and over, always knowing what was to come, but able to do nothing but follow the mighty reincarnation cycle.

The only way they could break free was if they gave up on their original goal and left the land entirely. Otherwise, the only other option was to wait for an anomaly that changed the cycle.

Chu Xingran had happened across Lu Yun and seized the chance to break out of the loops.

Neither was he going to leave completely empty-handed. The endless loops had been a grand ordeal of trial and tribulation. an accumulation of eons had reforged his potential and cultivation realm. None of this could be demonstrated in the Land of Reincarnation, but his strength would immediately fly forward as soon as he left.

Many of those from the outside world entered the Land of Reincarnation with a similar goal.

“Can seeds of nothing really return to their origin and become a world of sequence again?” Lu Yun murmured.

“Not the one we’re speaking of,” Ao Qin shook his head. “I once entered the world of immortals and touched that seed. Two bastards have refined it and turned it into something else! And it only happened in this particular cycle. I don’t get it, why aren’t those two bastards affected by reincarnation and can do whatever they want?”

“Two bastards, huh…” Lu Yun thought of two people again—Chen Xiao, Qing Buyi. Those two were two shitstirrers and caused trouble wherever they went, ruining the plans of others.

Though Lu Yun had experienced thirty-three loops, there’d only been one of him, so he’d only seen a small part of the cycle. He hadn’t been able to survey the entire world. Somehow, those two guys had completely flown under his radar!

“What’s it been refined into?” he asked curiously.

“How would I know?” Ao Qin grumbled. “Maybe the original emperor knows.”
