I, the Villain, Become Invincible the More Descendants I Have

Chapter 133 The Empty Shell Medicine God Descends, the Grand Medicine Tournament is Set UpOver these past three days, Wanyao Valley had completely become the epicenter of the storm in the Southern Region.

The once mist-shrouded gates of the valley were thrown wide open, adorned with lanterns and streamers, filled with the lingering sounds of celestial music. Remnant cultivators from the Qingyun Dynasty who had rushed from all corners of the Southern Region, along with sect forces affiliated with Wanyao Valley, packed the area until it was impassable.

Everyone craned their necks, gazing longingly toward the direction of the Holy Pond in the valley, their faces filled with fanaticism and anticipation.

For this group of displaced strays from a fallen nation, the soon-to-be-born fated Medicine God was their only life-saving straw, the ultimate trump card to turn the tide.

Outside the Holy Pond Hall, Qingyun Lie, the last emperor of the Qingyun Dynasty, paced back and forth in his dragon robes, his hands clenched until they turned white, his face a mixture of anxiety and ecstasy.

Beside him, Great Elder Yao Qianchen stroked his beard, looking completely confident: ”Your Majesty, rest assured! The Heavenly Dao’s fortune has arrived; the Medicine God will surely descend today! When that time comes, our Qingyun Dynasty will certainly be reborn from the ashes, trample the fake Great Xuan regime, and reclaim the rivers and mountains of the Southern Region!”

”That’s right!” The Second Elder leaned in, fawning frantically, ”I observed the celestial phenomena last night; the fortune of the Southern Region’s medicinal path has gathered entirely at the Holy Pond. With hundreds of herbs bowing and auspicious clouds circling the peak, this is the omen of the eternal Medicine God’s descent! Once the Medicine God grows up, let alone that martial brute Emperor Cao Xukun from the mortal realm, even Crown Prince Ling Chen of the Central Dynasty will have to bow and submit!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the heavens and earth suddenly changed color!

The originally clear sky was instantly covered by lush green auspicious clouds, and a medicinal fragrance so thick it could not be dispersed swept through the entire Wanyao Valley. Spiritual herbs and immortal medicines across the mountains and plains bloomed simultaneously, petals flying everywhere to form a brilliant sea of flowers.

Countless seven-colored immortal cranes and spiritual deer arrived from all directions, gathering above the Holy Pond and emitting bursts of melodious cries.

”It’s here! The Medicine God has descended!”

The crowd instantly erupted, everyone kneeling in unison to kowtow and worship toward the Holy Pond, their thunderous shouts shaking the valley until it hummed.

”Long live the Medicine God! Long live the Qingyun Dynasty!”

”Heaven bless our Qingyun! We have finally waited for the true fated master!”

”The end of Emperor Cao Xukun has arrived!”

Accompanied by a loud cry from an infant, a brilliant green light shot up from the Holy Pond Hall, piercing straight into the clouds.

Great Elder Yao Qianchen carried an infant in swaddling clothes and strode out of the hall, his face full of a grin distorted by excitement.

”Everyone! The fated Medicine God has descended today!”

He held the infant high so that everyone could see clearly.

The infant was jade-carved and exquisite, with a pair of clear and bright eyes. His body was surrounded by a faint green medicinal light. He did not cry or fuss upon being born; instead, he curiously looked around, his little hand clutching a thousand-year spiritual ganoderma that had flown over on its own.

”Do you see! This is the 9th Grade Medicinal Physique!” Great Elder Yao Qianchen roared hoarsely, his voice trembling, ”Born with the ability to incite the worship of all herbs, able to absorb the medicinal power of spiritual herbs the moment he was born! Throughout history, the Southern Region has never seen such heaven-defying talent!”

”This child is named Yao Tiansheng! He is the eternal Medicine God personally conferred by the Heavenly Dao! In the future, he will surely unify the medicinal path of the Immortal Realm and become the supreme master of the medicinal path, transcending the Seven Great Dynasties!”

These words completely ignited the fanaticism of the entire crowd. Everyone kowtowed frantically, treating this newborn infant as a deity.

Qingyun Lie was so excited that tears streamed down his old face. With a thud, he knelt on the ground and performed the three kowtows and nine prostrations to the infant: ”Your subject, Qingyun Lie, pays respects to His Highness the Medicine God! I am willing to enthrone Your Highness as Crown Prince, to inherit the great throne in the future and revitalize Qingyun!”

”We are willing to enthrone His Highness the Medicine God as Crown Prince! We swear to serve loyally until death!”

All the remnant forces of Qingyun and sect elders knelt in unison, shouting ”Long live the Crown Prince” in a scene that was extremely spectacular.

Just then, an old man dressed in grey Daoist robes walked out slowly. He was Yao Tiansheng’s exclusive master, the Supreme Elder of Wanyao Valley, known as the number one person in the Southern Region’s medicinal path, Supreme Elder Yao Xuanzi.

His beard and hair were completely white, and his body was rich with the aura of the medicinal path, his aura of superiority maxed out to the top tier of the Immortal Realm.

Supreme Elder Yao Xuanzi raised his hand and pressed it down, and the entire venue instantly quieted. He cleared his throat and said in a tone of looking down upon the world: ”Everyone, the descent of the Medicine God is a grand event unseen in the Southern Region for ten thousand years! To celebrate the birth of the Medicine God, and also to let the people of the world witness the supreme talent of the Medicine God, Wanyao Valley has decided to hold the Wanyao Tournament here in three days!”

”At that time, we will invite all medicinal cultivators in the Southern Region to come and spar! Regardless of status, anyone who can best even one person from Wanyao Valley in the medicinal path will receive a 7th Grade Immortal Pill from Wanyao Valley’s collection! If anyone can luckily defeat His Highness the Medicine God, Wanyao Valley is willing to present our two valley-protecting treasures, the shennong cauldron and the shennong materia medica, with both hands!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar!

The shennong cauldron and the shennong materia medica! Those were supreme treasures that the entire Immortal Realm dreamed of!

”Supreme Elder is mighty! His Highness the Medicine God is invincible!”

”I must come to observe the ceremony in three days and witness the Medicine God’s demeanor with my own eyes!”

”Who could possibly win against the Medicine God? This is simply impossible!”

Supreme Elder Yao Xuanzi looked at the crowd’s fanaticism, a smug smile appearing on his face. The reason he dared to make such a bold claim was that he was certain the Medicine God’s 9th Grade Medicinal Physique was invincible in the world. Let alone the Southern Region, even in the entire Immortal Realm, one could not find anyone who could best the newborn Medicine God in the medicinal path.

He wanted to use the Wanyao Tournament to completely establish the Medicine God’s reputation, rally all the rogue cultivator forces in the Southern Region, and then launch a counterattack on Qingyun City to wipe out Emperor Cao Xukun’s Great Xuan branch dynasty.

Just as everyone was immersed in the fanaticism, a calm yet highly penetrating voice suddenly came from the valley entrance, clearly reaching everyone’s ears.

”There is no need to wait three days. I have come today to see just how much ability your so-called eternal Medicine God really has.”

As the words fell, a dark figure walked slowly into Wanyao Valley. Emperor Cao Xukun wore his dragon robes, his hands clasped behind his back, his steps calm. He did not release any pressure, yet he carried an imperial aura that looked down upon all living beings.

Wherever he passed, the fanatical crowd automatically parted to make a path, and everyone subconsciously held their breath, not daring to meet his gaze.

The entire venue was instantly dead silent; one could hear a pin drop.

The smile on Qingyun Lie’s face instantly froze, his pupils constricted, and he pointed at Emperor Cao Xukun, roaring harshly: ”Emperor Cao Xukun! How dare you trespass into my Wanyao Valley! You are courting death!”

Great Elder Yao Qianchen’s expression also changed drastically, and he shouted sternly: ”Audacious madman! How dare you come to cause trouble on the day the Medicine God descends! Men! Take him down for me! Tear him into ten thousand pieces!”

The surrounding cultivators drew their weapons one after another, preparing to rush up. But as soon as they moved, they were shaken back repeatedly by the invisible pressure emanating from Emperor Cao Xukun, not daring to get close at all.

Supreme Elder Yao Xuanzi stepped forward, blocking in front of Yao Tiansheng, looking at Emperor Cao Xukun with cold eyes, his tone full of disdain: ”Emperor Cao Xukun, I know you have invincible brute strength, but this is Wanyao Valley, a holy land of the medicinal path! It is not a place for you to run wild!”

”You, a martial brute who only knows how to kill, what do you know of the medicinal path? How dare you question the talent of His Highness the Medicine God? I advise you to get out immediately, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”

”The medicinal path?” Emperor Cao Xukun scoffed, walking slowly in front of Supreme Elder Yao Xuanzi, his gaze falling on Yao Tiansheng in his arms, ”The eternal Medicine God you praise to the high heavens is, in my eyes, nothing more than a hollow shell that has had all its fortune and inheritance drained away.”

”You are spouting nonsense!” Supreme Elder Yao Xuanzi was furious, ”His Highness the Medicine God was personally ordained by the Heavenly Dao and possesses the 9th Grade Medicinal Physique; how could he be a hollow shell! This is your jealousy! This is slander!”

”Jealousy?” Emperor Cao Xukun shook his head, his tone calm but carrying absolute control, ”The shennong cauldron and the shennong materia medica you are so proud of have already been in my hands for three days. Your Medicine God has not had any talent for the medicinal path since the moment he was born; he is just an ordinary mortal, as ordinary as can be.”

”Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!” Great Elder Yao Qianchen screamed, ”The shennong cauldron and the shennong materia medica have always been in the forbidden area of Wanyao Valley, guarded by heavy troops; how could you possibly have obtained them!”

”Is that so?” Emperor Cao Xukun waved his hand, and the ancient and heavy shennong cauldron appeared out of thin air in his hand, medicinal patterns flowing on the cauldron’s body, emitting a rich aura of life. At the same time, a yellowed ancient book floated beside him; it was the shennong materia medica.

The entire venue instantly exploded into chaos!

”It really is the shennong cauldron! I have seen the portraits! Exactly the same!”

”And the shennong materia medica! That ancient Dao rhyme absolutely cannot be fake!”

”Heavens! He really obtained the two valley-protecting treasures! Then the Medicine God...”

Everyone’s gaze fell in unison upon Yao Tiansheng, their eyes filled with suspicion. The atmosphere, which had been fanatical just a moment ago, instantly dropped to freezing point.

Supreme Elder Yao Xuanzi’s face instantly turned the color of a pig’s liver, and he pointed at Emperor Cao Xukun, roaring: ”You stole my valley-protecting supreme treasures! And you dare to spread heresy! I will fight you to the death!”

He violently mobilized all his spiritual power, transforming it into a poisonous mist, and lunged toward Emperor Cao Xukun. He had cultivated diligently for ten thousand years, and his medicinal path and poison techniques had reached the pinnacle; this strike could poison even a late-stage Golden Immortal.

However, Emperor Cao Xukun just blew a breath casually.

A gentle green airflow blew out, instantly dispersing all the poisonous mist. Supreme Elder Yao Xuanzi was struck as if by a heavy blow, flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His foundation in the medicinal path shattered instantly, and his entire cultivation turned into nothingness.

”I said, he is a hollow shell.” Emperor Cao Xukun said calmly, his gaze sweeping across the entire venue, ”In three days, the Wanyao Tournament will be held as scheduled. I will personally attend, and let you see what the true medicinal path is.”

”At that time, I will prove to everyone that your fated Medicine God is nothing but a joke. And the entire Southern Region will completely belong to my Great Xuan.”

As the words fell, Emperor Cao Xukun’s figure flickered and instantly disappeared from where he stood.

Leaving the entire venue in dead silence.

Qingyun Lie collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.

Great Elder Yao Qianchen looked in the direction where Emperor Cao Xukun had disappeared, and then looked at the silent Yao Tiansheng in his arms, his eyes filled with despair.

Was their last hope really just a hollow shell?

At the Wanyao Tournament in three days, what would be waiting for them?
