A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"Alright, Fairy Yao Xi, I wouldn't do something so drastic as to cut off my future."

"In my opinion, it's just a flawed chaotic body that cuts off the way forward. Even if you raise it, it won't make much sense."

Rather than letting cultivators fight each other freely and raise a Gu King, Lin Xiu felt that his new idea was better.

"Fairy Yao Xi, you should know that I'm telling you all this for my own purpose, right?" Lin Xiu's smile remained, but a hint of predation appeared in his eyes.

"To be honest, I plan to cooperate with Fairy Yao Xi to create a great cause together."

"If Fairy Yao Xi is willing to lend her her full support, the crisis of the Ruthless lineage can be resolved."

Does "jointly create a great enterprise" mean "jointly create offspring"?

Yao Xi frowned. She originally thought Lin Xiu only intended for her to be his mistress, but she didn't expect... he actually planned to have children with her?

Sure enough, that guy surnamed Xia was right. Immortal Venerable Lin Xiu... really is someone who likes to trick female cultivators into having children!

After struggling for a good ten seconds, Yao Xi finally replied rather awkwardly:

"Yes, Yao Xi has already understood Brother Lin's meaning."

"However... during the day... Yao Xi really couldn't handle it, I hope Brother Lin will forgive me."

"what?"

Lin Xiu was momentarily speechless at Yao Xi's words. He clearly saw two faint blushes rise on the fair cheeks of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, and her beautiful eyes, like autumn water, were now avoiding his gaze. The high slit of her skirt swayed slightly, revealing a pair of long, slender legs, more lustrous than white jade, that were faintly visible beneath the skirt, dazzling the eye.

.......

Looking at Yao Xi, who was both shy and charming, Lin Xiu's lips twitched.

Depend on!

It's all Ye Fan's fault!

This has caused everyone to have preconceived notions about him!

On so many occasions before, Lin Xiu could always say that others had misunderstood him.

But this time, Lin Xiu had no room for explanation.

Because... he actually had a similar idea!

However... it's far from the level Yao Xi imagined.

"Whoo~"

Lin Xiu struggled to tear his gaze away from the Saintess of Yao Guang's long, jade-like legs, and said helplessly:

“Fairy Yao Xi, although I do indeed desire your body, my desire for your body may be different from what you understand as desire for your body.”

"Hmm? What do you mean, Brother Lin?"

Yao Xi was puzzled; it was the first time she had ever heard the term "desire for a body," but she could roughly understand its meaning.

What puzzled her was... could the word "馋身子" (chán shēn zǐ) have a second usage?

What I mean is...

"Instead of asking outsiders for help, it's better to defeat the Holy Son of Yaoguang and take his place."

"Perfect timing. I'm planning to personally cultivate a flawed Chaos Body. Would you be interested in embodying the Dao?"

That's right.

Lin Xiu's real purpose was to use Yao Xi as his guinea pig.

As early as the beginning of his arrival, Lin Xiu had decided on a strategy of first achieving the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body and then switching to cultivating the Chaos Body.

In order to facilitate a smoother transition to cultivation later, Lin Xiu plans to first observe the entire process of a Chaos Body of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art version from scratch to final cultivation, and record it in the Dao Rhyme Space.

Originally, Lin Xiu wanted to experiment on Hua Yunfei.

However, the Daoist space's deduction of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art revealed bad news to Lin Xiu: the already flawed Devouring Heaven Demon Art had another defect, namely... female cultivators would find it easier to perfect the Devouring Heaven Demon Art than male cultivators!

Upon receiving this news, Lin Xiu immediately used the Heavenly Evolution Abacus to perform a calculation.

The conclusion is that the ruthless person is a female cultivator, and female cultivators do indeed have an advantage over male cultivators when it comes to cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

Although they may not reach the level of a ruthless person, their potential is much higher than that of male cultivators.

In the original story, the Holy Son of Yaoguang cultivated 6,400 strands of Chaos Qi, but... if the Holy Son of Yaoguang were a girl, he could raise it even higher, to 8,100 strands!

After reaching this conclusion, Lin Xiu was depressed for a while, and then immediately began to deduce, trying to figure out who the most suitable female cultivator was.

However, this kind of deduction without clear requirements took far too long, and Lin Xiu still hadn't gotten a definite answer. Out of desperation, Lin Xiu began using binary elimination, throwing all the female cultivators he knew into the process of evaluation.

The assessment results showed that among all the female cultivators Lin Xiu knew, Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, was the most suitable to cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

As for why it's suitable?

Driven by curiosity, Lin Xiu conducted a thorough analysis of Yao Xi and finally understood the reason.

It turns out that Yao Xi's ancestors and the ruthless man were from the same village, were closely related by blood, and shared some of the Dao codes.

In fact, it wasn't just Yao Xi; the Holy Son of Yao Guang was the same. They were all descendants of the same villagers as the Ruthless Man!

Chapter 245 The Saintess of Yao Guang's Resolve

The Ruthless Man's lineage has three branches.

The first lineage consists of people from the same village as the Ruthless Great Emperor. After the Ruthless Great Emperor became emperor, he bestowed upon them a portion of his inheritance, thus forming the lineage of people from the same village.

The second lineage consists of the guardians of the Ruthless Emperor's tomb. After the Ruthless Emperor passed away, they guarded his tomb and lived beside it. Through a series of coincidences, they obtained the Emperor's weapon and some of the Ruthless Emperor's legacy, thus forming the Yao Guang lineage.

The third lineage consists of followers of the Ruthless Great Emperor. They followed the Ruthless Great Emperor after his rise to power, and after he became emperor, they inherited part of his legacy and established the Devouring Heaven Holy Land, thus becoming the Devouring Heaven lineage.

After the death of the ruthless one, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art was too demonic, and the Devouring Heaven Holy Land was too arrogant. As a result, the Devouring Heaven Holy Land was jointly wiped out by other imperial clans. The people and their lineage of the Holy Land were scattered and gradually merged with the people of the same village, which is how the Ruthless One's lineage came to be known in later generations.

The Yao Guang lineage did not obtain the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, but only a few ruthless martial arts techniques, which they secretly cultivated. After the Devouring Heaven lineage was destroyed, they had even less intention of revealing themselves.

However, the ruthless lineage that merged with the powerful realized that they couldn't do without an imperial weapon.

Therefore, they prepared to merge with the Yao Guang lineage again, becoming an extreme power that could truly be passed down for ten thousand years with the protection of imperial weapons!

The Holy Son of Yao Guang is a crucial step in their preparation to join forces.

Before merging with the Devouring Heaven lineage, the Villagers lineage and the Yao Guang lineage had always had a good relationship. The two lineages lived in the same large domain and even had some bloodline exchanges.

As for the way bloodline exchange is also very simple, both lineages have some disciples who are not talented. After being expelled from the holy land, they marry and have children near the holy land and pass on their bloodline, hoping that some geniuses will emerge from their descendants and lead their families back to the holy land.

The Holy Son and Holy Daughter of Yaoguang were geniuses who stood out from this large group of descendants.

The Holy Son of Yao Guang's talent for cultivation is much stronger than Yao Xi's, so the Ruthless Clan chose to target the Holy Son of Yao Guang first.

They lured away the elders of the Yao Guang Holy Land and taught the Yao Guang Holy Son the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, making him the successor of the Ruthless Man.

As for the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang... just kidding, there's already a Holy Son of Yao Guang with even greater talent, who would want her?

As a result, Yao Xi was always treated as invisible by the Ruthless Clan.

After all, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is something that can't be exposed to the light of day, so it's good to have a relatively conspicuous Holy Maiden like Yao Xi outside to help the Holy Son of Yao Guang draw attention to him.

It is precisely because of this that Yao Xi was able to successfully escape the Yao Guang Holy Land in the later part of the original novel.

However... only Lin Xiu knew that the Ruthless lineage had made the wrong choice.

The Holy Son of Yao Guang is indeed highly talented, but if we really want to explore the upper limit of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, we still need to let Yao Xi do it.

Although both are bound by the ruthless path of the Dao, under the same conditions, Yao Xi can indeed go further.

.......

"what?"

Yao Xi parted her red lips slightly, wondering if she had misheard something.

"Brother Lin... do you intend to cultivate me into a flawed Chaos Body?"

"why?"

There were just too many flaws, and Yao Xi didn't know which one to mention first.

Is there anything special about her?

Why did Lin Xiu train her instead of others?

Why is it a flawed chaotic entity instead of a flawless chaotic entity?

Why does he seem to know more about the Devouring Heaven Demon Art than the Ruthless Ones?

Could he be a direct descendant of a ruthless person?

The more Yao Xi thought about it, the more terrified she felt, as if she were tightly wrapped in the spiderweb of ruthless forces, unable to escape.

"why?"

Lin Xiu smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said:

"Of course it's because you're the most suitable! You probably don't know this, but actually, your bloodline and that of the Holy Son of Yaoguang are both very special..."

Next, Lin Xiu explained in detail why he chose the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang instead of anyone else.

When Yao Xi learned that her ancestor and the Ruthless Great Emperor were from the same village, and that the Yao Guang Holy Land was actually the guardian of the Ruthless Great Emperor's tomb, her pink lips opened to an unprecedented degree.

Ever since she learned about the Ruthless Clan, she had been terrified by them. Turns out... she herself was a remnant of the Ruthless Clan?

.......

"I see."

After Lin Xiu explained, Yao Xi finally understood why Lin Xiu had chosen her.

However, despite her understanding, Yao Xi had no intention of cooperating with Lin Xiu.

Taking a deep breath, which caused her chest to heave, Yao Xi first bowed, then replied with unprecedented solemnity:

"Brother Lin, Yao Xi is extremely grateful that you chose me as your partner."

"But I'm sorry, I really can't meet your expectations."

"To cultivate a technique that would harm others in order to save the Holy Land is against my principles, and Yao Xi would rather die than do it."

When she said this, Yao Xi was filled with resentment towards Lin Xiu.

Because... Lin Xiu himself doesn't practice the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, yet he makes her practice it. Isn't that treating her like a tool?

Okay, although she was prepared to be a tool, that only applied to herself.
