Mission: Seduce the Master! - Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Heart (Part 4)
Xie Qing’s soul resisted the illusions at the moment when the Heart Demon was about to take over his body. The old man opened his eyes, which shone with a grim light.

“So it was an illusion… How long have I been here? It feels like a hundred years. Although, in reality, it’s probably much less. Who would have thought that I would be in an illusion for so long…” He thought, frowning in dissatisfaction.

Looking around, he found that the place was extremely gloomy. A dilapidated house, a terrible rotten smell, and the howling of the wind with an endless blizzard.

“Interesting. Everything looks so realistic that my soul was captured by these feelings…” Xie Qing thought and sighed: “This was a good illusion. Too bad, but I pursue reality. I don’t care about the world that exists only in dreams”

Crack… Crack…

Along with the sound of glass cracking, a loud scream filled with pain and despair was heard in the distance.

Xie Qing snorted coldly, and his body returned to its normal state in a few seconds from being old and helpless.

His cultivation grew on his eyes, and he directly broke through to the peak of the Soul Nascent stage!

“Not bad. This trip was worth it, if you think about it” He said in a monotone voice, and then yawned: “I’ve been here for a long time. It’s time to get to work”

A golden light appeared around him, and the house collapsed into darkness. The illusion could no longer be maintained because Xie Qing had regained his composure.

In the end, the young man disappeared in a bright light, and the space around him collapsed. Only one item remained hanging in the air – a mysterious diary.

The King of Deities nodded, looking at Xie Qing opening his eyes.

“Not bad. Your test can be considered passed, although you were in the illusions for a week” The king informed him, and then looked at Xie Qing with an indifferent gaze: “What you learned in the illusions is important. However, prepare for the last and decisive test”

“Mmm…”

The young man nodded, getting up from the stone floor. He looked directly into the eyes of the King of Deities, who suddenly smiled and said.

“The final test will help us determine whether you are worthy of the inheritance or not,” the king said, and then casually yawning, continued: “In the dark of night, wrapped in a blanket, we are not afraid of the cold. Hiding under a blanket, we feel safe. But danger is always lurking in the shadows… May the heavens bless you…”

Whoosh!

Xie Qing frowned, feeling another stream of Qi that enveloped him and moved him to a random place.

The King of Deities turned his gaze to Lyu Lyu and then shrugged his shoulders.

“She is not suitable, so I will give her a chance. Let her solve a few tasks. She has an incomplete cultivation technique of the Heavenly Melody Sect… I think the reward in the form of the inheritance of this sect will be sufficient”

Xie Qing looked around when he was moved to a new place. He found that he was now standing in the center of a city.

And…

“I… Uh… Why am I so huge?” He thought, evaluating his body.

His height was no less than a hundred meters. This is madness.

And even more interesting was that the people around him were of the same height. Even the buildings were huge and tall, which could explain one thing.

“Another illusion! This time I’m a deity?” Xie Qing thought, puzzledly frowning: “And what should I do here?”

Fortunately for him, a mysterious male voice soon appeared in his head, filled with power and determination.

“Deities are the beings of the Heavens. They were born in the moment when the Heavens themselves were born. Our role was simple” The voice was silent, and then continued: “To protect the Heavens. However, over the years, our sacred mission… Has undergone some changes”

Xie Qing blinked. He immediately found himself in a luxurious palace.

“Damn it…”

Xie Qing raised his eyebrows, looking at the luxurious hall. Numerous naked men and women were engaged in, well, you know what.

And the stench from this was unbearable. Xie Qing was not a voyeur and did not consider himself to be one, so he turned his gaze away and tried not to look at what was happening.

“It turned out that the needs of us, the Deities, are… Very large. However, the fact that we have forgotten ourselves in our own greatness and have begun to ignore our role…”

Xie Qing could not help but roll his eyes. They were like animals that, feeling comfort, began to waste their days carelessly.

The voice, apparently, felt Xie Qing’s contempt and laughed loudly.

“Ha-ha-ha… Your reaction is worth it. However, I was a strict deity in life. I was only interested in the spear” The deity said with some attachment. His voice became gentle when he said about the spear: “How many days, how many months… How many centuries? The years passed, maybe even millions of years. In the end, the people could not restrain their anger. They took up weapons and came for our heads”

The scene changed. Xie Qing narrowed his eyes, watching as bright red clouds filled the Heavens, while an endless number of small silhouettes, like ants, gathered into one single building.

This was an army of people. Or, more accurately, an army of immortals. Xie Qing could not restrain the shiver, feeling the suppression from their aura.

Cold sweat ran down his forehead. Even with all his desire, possessing the power of an immortal, Xie Qing was clearly not confident in his victory.

“There were many of them. But we were not weak either. However, I must admit, the final battle was not very impressive. However, we ended the first war with the victory of the Deities”

“I can only imagine how many casualties there were… Especially on the side of the immortals” Xie Qing expressed his thoughts out loud.

“Of course”

The vision changed. Xie Qing looked over the battlefield, flooded with an ocean of blood and countless corpses – both immortals and Deities.

It was really hard to watch all this. The aura of these creatures alone could turn him into dust. And this is considering that they are dead!

Xie Qing was really impressed. He had never seen anything like it before.

“The war was indeed cruel. Among the Deities, there were many casualties, and the majority of my fellow Deities began to take life more seriously” The mysterious voice said and then continued with a smile: “But who would have thought that among the immortals, there would be one who could somehow receive the Blessing of the Heavens. He should be called now… Hm… I guess, the Heavenly Emperor”

“Heavenly Emperor!”

Xie Qing inhaled a stream of cold air. This creature controlled the Heavens. He held in his hand the power over the lives of billions of different creatures.

And that was dangerous. Who knows what will come into his head if one day he decides to arrange a massacre? Even the legendary immortals will fall under his wrath.

Moreover, Xie Qing had a more neutral opinion about the Heavenly Emperor, but one that leaned more towards caution.

Legends say that the Heavenly Emperor does not like the dragon clan very much. And although he does not order to kill them, there will be millions and billions of creatures who will want to gain favor with him.

“And I am the one who possesses their inheritance, which is like a tasty piece,” Xie Qing thought, darkening.

The voice, apparently, did not continue, feeling the emotions of Xie Qing. The young man took a pause for a few minutes and then raised his gaze.

In the end, he looked into the eyes of the huge creature with a human appearance.

“Mortal, you will receive the inheritance of the Deities. I am not very confident that you will withstand the test, but I want to warn you about something…” The deity said and narrowed his eyes: “As soon as you break through the shackles of mortality and rise to the Immortal World, the Heavenly Emperor will learn about your existence. Then the difficulties will begin”

“I can die if I accept this inheritance… Did I understand correctly?” Xie Qing asked with a neutral face.

“Naturally. But, if you want to stay in the mortal world, then the Heavenly Emperor will not find you right away. But I guarantee you that with the inheritance of the Deities, you will have many problems and… Many advantages” The deity said with an indifferent gaze, looking at the young man: “At your level, all these advantages are useless, but as soon as you touch the doors of Immortality, you will receive… Khr… Raken… Borden… Hm? It seems that the Heavens are blocking my words… Sigh!”

Xie Qing narrowed his eyes. He could not understand a single word that came out of the mouth of this deity.

“Before the test begins, you will have a chance to retreat,” The deity said, and then clenched his hand into a fist. When he unclenched it, a golden flame appeared on his palms: “At least, I can give you this – the Flame of the Golden Dragon. It will be one of the rewards!”

“This is…”

Xie Qing has surprisedly raised his eyebrows. This is one of those items that cost a lot! And if he could pass the test… Did this not mean…

“I…”
