Chapter 938: Confidantes, A Transaction

Despite knowing the reason for the appearance of the "game world" from Chu Xueqian's mouth, Qi Yuan still had a huge doubt in his heart and couldn't help but ask:

"Why do Bai Xirou and Qin Lingxue appear in your dreams? Do you know them?"

This was also the part Qi Yuan found most baffling. Looking at the timeline, Chu Xueqian had been trapped here for hundreds of thousands of years. Logically, it was impossible for her to know the two women.

"Master, you really have already hooked up with the two Mistresses."

Hearing this question, Chu Xueqian gave Qi Yuan a strange look as if she had known all along, but she continued to explain:

"It's simple. The two Mistresses aren't from the Cultivation World at all. They are Confidantes you met after returning to Earth. Back then, they were both school beauties."

"Afterwards, you decided to return to the Cultivation World, and they chose to follow you through Transmigration without hesitation…"

What?

Bai Xirou and Qin Lingxue are actually from Earth?

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was immediately shocked and stood frozen in place for a moment, clearly not expecting the two women to have such a background.

Thinking about it carefully, his two Dao Companions indeed had many peculiarities. They were specific mission targets the System had assigned him to conquer, and they were even part of the main questline, something he couldn't give up.

In other words, the dog system doing this must have been intentional…

Bai Xirou was only a Golden Core Realm Cultivator at the time, yet she could attract the mingxiao mirror, a supreme treasure created by an Immortal Emperor, to recognize her as its Master. This was likely related to her status as an Earthling.

As for Qin Lingxue, she was even the Fiancée of the Original Owner "Qi Yuan" and possessed top-tier sword dao talent. She looked exactly like someone who had been handed a protagonist's script…

But for some reason, neither of the two women had ever awakened any memories of Earth.

As these thoughts passed, most of the doubts in Qi Yuan's heart were finally resolved, only to be replaced by an even greater mystery.

If he was truly the Reincarnation of the real Yuan Wu Immortal Lord, then had this Retarded System he carried really found the wrong person?

The strangest part was still the chaotic timeline!

Yuan Wu Immortal Lord's trip to Earth happened hundreds of thousands of years ago, and he was accompanied by his fourth Disciple, Chu Xueqian, who was proficient in the sword dao.

Back then, Earth certainly wasn't in ancient times or the dinosaur era, but closer to the modern age. Otherwise, words like "School Beauty," which only appeared in modern times, wouldn't have come out of Chu Xueqian's mouth.

Later, Chu Xueqian went from Earth back to the Cultivation World and used a forbidden technique that defied the Heavenly Dao in a battle with other Immortals, resulting in her being plagued by Heavenly Punishment and trapped in these Immortal Burial Valley ruins…

It wasn't until hundreds of thousands of years later that he himself transmigrated from modern Earth to the Cultivation World. During this time, where exactly did Yuan Wu Immortal Lord go?

If the timeline confusion could be explained by the different space-time rules of the two Universes, then how could the System's error be explained?

Since binding with this Trashy System, not only did the Host's background not match, but the assigned tasks were also completely nonsensical, each one more abstract than the last. Wasn't this just a scam?

After being stunned for quite a while, Qi Yuan finally calmed down again and asked in a low voice:

"Fairy Chu, why are you so sure that I am your Master, Yuan Wu Immortal Lord?"

Facing Qi Yuan's inquiry, Chu Xueqian raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile:

"Master, although your appearance is different from before, that unique and great aura of yours cannot be hidden no matter what. This Disciple would never mistake it."

Hearing this extremely perfunctory answer, Qi Yuan's face darkened, and he said crossly:

"Speak like a human!"

Chu Xueqian's expression stiffened, but she still answered honestly:

"Although that great expert on Earth acted to obscure various Karmas for you, this Disciple's sword [Xingxian] was once your life-bound Flying Sword that you refined for many years. Through the resonance of the Xingxian Sword, this Disciple knew you were Master."

"Besides that, some of your words and deeds in the dream world were exactly the same as Master's, so this Disciple completely confirmed your identity…"

An Earthly expert?

Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't afford to waste any more time on this small matter, so he asked in a low voice:

"What exactly happened on Earth? Also… where exactly is the Dao Fruit left by the Immortal Emperor now?"

At this moment, he had vaguely realized what the Opportunity the Immortal Emperor mentioned before actually was.

After obtaining the Divine Tree seed, Immortal Emperor Donghua once said He wanted to re-evolve the Great Dao and pursue a higher level of transcendence. At the same time, He promised to leave him an Opportunity that all Immortals dreamed of.

And the Opportunity the Immortal Emperor spoke of was likely His Dao Fruit, or rather… the immortal seat!

An Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit isn't a treasure or anything else; it is the Immortal Emperor's immortal seat!

Thanks to a certain Child of Destiny, he had previously studied a lot of knowledge about immortal seats. He knew that an immortal seat was actually the authority over the Great Dao held by an Immortal, and it was the most important foundation in an Immortal's life, perhaps even the only one.

An Immortal without an immortal seat can only become a low-grade Loose Immortal, unrecognized by the Heavenly Dao.

To pursue the Realm of transcendence, the Immortal Emperor gave up His immortal seat, which was equivalent to giving up all the Great Dao Authority He possessed.

Whoever obtains this immortal seat becomes the new Immortal Emperor.

Presumably to keep the promise, in short… Yuan Wu Immortal Lord became the successor chosen by the Immortal Emperor, but he was insufficiently prepared, thus becoming a target for everyone.

While Qi Yuan was lost in thought, Chu Xueqian also set aside her playful mood and narrated with a serious face:

"Master, this Disciple isn't very clear about the specific situation. I only know that after returning to Earth, the Immortal power in our bodies was greatly suppressed, as if the Heavenly Dao of that Universe would automatically reject all external forces."

"Originally, you planned to fuse with the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit on Earth and return to the Cultivation World after ascending to the Immortal Emperor Realm. However, due to the massive suppression, this plan failed before it even started, and you had to find another way."

"After that, we lived on Earth as ordinary people until you took the two Mistresses out for a trip."

At this point, Chu Xueqian couldn't help but curl her lip, seemingly very resentful about not being taken on the trip. She then continued:

"Not long after that trip ended, Master impatiently announced the return to the Cultivation World."

"When I asked for the reason, you said with an excited face that you had made a transaction with a mysterious expert on Earth…"

A transaction?

At this moment, Qi Yuan's face was full of shock, his heart was pounding, and he was extremely nervous.

A mysterious existence that could make Yuan Wu Immortal Lord call them an "expert" was actually hidden on Earth. Wasn't this too magical?

Even if Yuan Wu was heavily injured at the time, he was still a powerhouse at the Daluo Immortal Lord level. For even him to call the other party an "expert," they must have been at least at the Immortal Emperor level, or even higher!

Just as Qi Yuan was questioning life, he heard a bit more confusion in Chu Xueqian's tone as she said faintly:

"Although I don't know the details of the transaction, according to you, you gave up that priceless Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit in the transaction in exchange for an Opportunity…"

Seeing Chu Xueqian hesitate, Qi Yuan suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a low voice:

"What kind of Opportunity could make Yuan Wu Immortal Lord willing to give up such a vital Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit?"

Chu Xueqian shook her head gently and replied with a frown:

"There seemed to be some kind of agreement with the other party of the transaction, as you didn't mention much information about it."

"However, Master, you once mentioned that after adding this Variable, the originally one-hundred-percent failure finally had a one-percent hope. It was completely worth a try… In any case, it was a huge gain!"
