"My cultivation resources are exhausted. The resources gained from those missions are just a drop in the ocean.
Refining divine water and extracting Taiyin True Qi requires several times the resources of an ordinary person. Staying in the clan is pointless.
I'm all alone, without any bloodline power within the clan, so it's impossible for me to obtain the resources to continue cultivating. I
've inquired about the Northwest over the years and have a general understanding of the situation. The plot should be just beginning. It seems I'll have to leave after the clan competition in a few days."
Hun Changqing stood up, gazing towards the Northwest continent with a deep, melancholic look.
Hun Changqing was dressed in a black robe, standing with his hands behind his back.
His long, jet-black hair fell naturally to his waist, each strand crystal clear.
His face was as white as jade, his delicate features seemingly meticulously sculpted, natural and harmonious.
His dark pupils emitted a cold, chilling light, and his brows bore a resemblance to his previous life. His aloof temperament made him seem like an immortal descended to earth.
The Taiyin True Body, a male with a female appearance, possesses an unparalleled aura. Leaving aside other aspects, its appearance is undeniably flawless; most women would feel inferior in its presence.
Hun Changqing, having awakened the Taiyin True Body, has evolved his already handsome appearance from his previous life into an extreme beauty, or rather, restored his original appearance. While his current appearance bears a slight resemblance to his past life, it is vastly different.
"I wonder if Xiao Yan has awakened the old man in that ring yet?
That old man's Bone Spirit Cold Flame seems quite compatible with me. I could go to the Northwest Continent and retrieve that old man's flame to study it.
Even if I don't discover anything, decomposing this flame, which is remarkably similar to my physique, and assimilating it into Taiyin to strengthen my Taiyin origin would be excellent.
Xiao Yan… hehe, since I'm this variable, then you, the future Flame Emperor, don't need to rise again."
Thinking of Xiao Yan, the protagonist of this world, Hun Changqing's eyes involuntarily surged with killing intent, and a chilling killing aura permeated his entire body.
The conflict between Xiao Yan and the Soul Clan was already a fight to the death. Without a doubt, the Soul Clan might already be eyeing the Xiao family, making their annihilation inevitable. Hun Changqing had neither the power nor the will to stop it.
Moreover, after arriving on the Dou Qi Continent, Hun Changqing experienced the indescribable feeling of immense power within himself, and possessed the Taiyin inheritance. Naturally, this fueled his ambition. He could no longer allow Xiao Yan to become the so-called Flame Emperor; only he could achieve the throne!
Suddenly, Hun Changqing frowned, his killing intent instantly dissipating as he exhaled a deep breath.
"Sigh, my mind… is in turmoil. I unconsciously revealed my killing intent. If I were out in the world, I might expose some flaws and cause unnecessary trouble.
Although it's partly due to the excessive killing I've done in recent years, I also need to train my mental state." Hun Changqing pondered silently.
After advancing to the Dou Ling realm, he was no longer satisfied with the limited sparring within the clan.
The Taiyin True Body was inherently a physique prone to slaughter, and forcing Hun Changqing to fight such drawn-out battles every day was incredibly frustrating and stifling; it was better not to fight at all.
Therefore, after advancing to Dou Ling, he began venturing out of the clan to undertake lower-level missions.
These were mostly tasks involving capturing the souls of low-level alchemists or annihilating low-level powerful families.
Initially, he needed guidance from higher-level disciples within the clan. After these disciples taught Hun Changqing various combat techniques and how to complete missions with minimal losses,
Hun Changqing gradually grew stronger and could complete some more challenging missions alone.
On one occasion, Hun Changqing, with his Dou Ling nine-star cultivation, ventured alone into a family with three Dou Wang (Battle Kings) and slaughtered them, leaving a bloodbath.
When Hun Changqing brought the souls of those three Dou Wangs to the Soul Hall to submit the mission, the Soul Hall steward in charge of receiving him was utterly astonished.
Later, news spread back to the clan that Hun Changqing, with his nine-star Dou Ling strength, had annihilated a family with three Dou Wangs. Coupled with his excessively handsome face, this made him somewhat famous among the younger generation in the clan.
It has to be said that the Hun Clan's method of raising children amidst slaughter from a young age is very suitable for this world.
Strength is the only truth, and the strong decide everything. As long as you are strong enough, no matter what heinous acts you commit, others will greet you with smiles and praise your greatness.
Of course, this kind of growth method of the Hun Clan is not suitable for those righteous protagonists.
Those protagonists would risk their lives for their friends and brothers, even sacrificing their brothers to achieve explosive power.
But those who come from the Hun Clan, seeing their companions injured, are considered to be very principled if they don't go and finish them off.
Hun Changqing grew up in the Hun Clan's environment, and the influence of the Taiyin True Body on his personality has made him somewhat cold-blooded.
Hun Changqing is aware of this, but he doesn't care too much. He thinks this personality is quite good, quite suitable for surviving in this world where the strong are respected.
