I Am Overlord

Chapter 1407: Farewell and Departure

Within a certain delicate bamboo building at the Fox Range was a couple nestled against each other.
The man was smart and handsome while the woman was mesmerizing and beautiful.
This was a perfect couple that would be the source of envy for countless people.

“Husband, I’m entering seclusion soon.
Will you continue staying here?” asked Hu Meihui after feeding Xiang Shaoyun a piece of spiritual fruit.

Dressed in a thin light muslin outfit, her flawless body was perfectly accentuated, a sight that would cause many men’s blood to boil.

As Xiang Shaoyun slowly chewed on the fruit, he looked down at her and smiled.
“I need to do something in the Central Region.
I’ll come visit you again when I’m done.”

“Are you not going to take me with you?” asked Hu Meihui.

“You can come with me if you want, but with your bloodline evolution, I’m afraid your father and other clansmen would not allow you to leave,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

“I don’t care.
I only want to be with you,” said Hu Meihui.

“That’s not difficult at all.
Just wait until I return to the sect.
I’ll build a teleportation formation connecting the sect and this place.
We will be able to see each other at any time,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“I have a feeling chaos is coming soon.
Both of us need to grow as strong as possible, as surviving the chaotic times will be hard.”

“Alright.
I’ll reach the Saint Realm as quickly as possible.
I do not want to be a burden to you,” said Hu Meihui solemnly.
She then reached for Xiang Shaoyun’s lower body with a mischievous smile.
“Husband, pamper me one more time.”

Xiang Shaoyun smirked, “What a temptress!”

He then pushed her down.
Before long, sounds of pleasure filled the bamboo building.

…

After Hu Meihui entered seclusion, Xiang Shaoyun finally had some free time for himself.
He had stayed in the Fox Range for an entire month.
During this time, he had slowly recuperated his saint soul.
His third-stage Devil Saint Realm cultivation had also been fully consolidated.
Instead of leaving immediately, he remained in the bamboo building and meditated on his gains from his battle with the three Saints.

He had only been able to defeat them after borrowing the Yin Mother Sword’s prowess.
Without the sword, he wouldn’t have been their match.
He had to make that clear to himself so that he wouldn’t become overconfident.
Because he didn’t want to develop a reliance on tools, he needed to rely less on his equipment in the future.
Having such a reliance wouldn’t be beneficial for his growth.

It was also during that battle that he discovered the prowess of the profundity of the devil dao.
That was what gave him the strength to contend against top-tier Saints as a third-stage Devil Saint.
However, the profundity of the devil dao also had a massive disadvantage.
It would cause one to lose one’s reason, turning one into a bloodthirsty killer.
That wasn’t a good thing for him, as he could easily turn into a monster that would murder the innocent.

Only when he gained full control over the profundity of the devil dao would he be able to free himself from the effect of negative emotions and turn the profundity of the devil dao into his tool.

During his seclusion, Xiang Shaoyun repeatedly attempted to control the profundity of the devil dao and deepen his understanding of the devil dao while maintaining a rational mind.

After numerous attempts, he had obtained decent gains.
He learned that so long as his will was strong enough, the profundity of the devil dao would be fully under his control and wouldn’t control him.
He needed a strong willpower, an unyielding and unswerving faith that nothing could sway.

Xiang Shaoyun’s path of cultivation had granted him a powerful will, especially after using the Limit Stimulation Technique multiple times.
The Limit Stimulation Technique had granted him a willpower that was as durable as any Saint’s.
But to fully control the profundity of the devil dao, his willpower was still not strong enough.

He was clear that just an accusation that he was a devil by the masses had successfully changed his state of mind.
He had to know himself better and maintain his true self.
Regardless of whether he was a devil or a human, he was still the same person.
Only upon achieving that would he be able to push his willpower to the peak.

Upon understanding that, Xiang Shaoyun started tempering his willpower.
Unlike cultivation, willpower was not something that only needed hard work to become strong.
Rather, one needed to persevere and press on in the face of difficulties.
With the passage of time, one’s willpower would eventually reach perfection.

At that thought, Xiang Shaoyun’s gaze landed on his astral cosmos sea.
He found that the primal inception energy had become much thinner after using some in the previous battle.
It was only a matter of time before he used it all up.
He no longer had his nine stars, which he could use to generate new primal inception energy.

“Master had forbidden me from using the astral grass because he wanted me to figure out the path of uniting nine powers.
I have gained considerably studying the Desolation mantra, but I’m still clueless as to how to fully unite my nine powers.
What am I supposed to do now?” muttered Xiang Shaoyun in a vexed manner.

If he consumed the astral grass, he would regain his stars and obtain the ability to replenish his primal inception energy.

Since he wouldn’t be able to settle this issue anytime soon, he decided to stop thinking about it.
Now that he no longer needed to hide his devil abilities, nobody below the Great Saint Realm could pose a threat to him.
Without any threat to his life, he could slowly contemplate his path.
A day would come when he created a path unique to himself.

He stood up and headed toward the fox patriarch’s cave dwelling.
When the demonic foxes standing guard before the cave saw him, they greeted him and then went to report his arrival.
He was here to bid farewell.

After entering the cave, he went straight to the point, “Father-in-Law, I’m leaving today.
I’m heading to the Righteous Buddhist Sect to get something done.
I’ll visit again in the future.”

“Righteous Buddhist Sect? On of the top three Buddhist sects in the dominion?” asked Hu Detian, astonished.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded and said, “Yes.
I promised to deliver an item to the Righteous Buddhist Sect.
I also want to take this chance to witness the scenery of the Central Region.”

“Feel free to go.
Your name has already been cleared, so there shouldn’t be any issues,” said Hu Detian.
“But I received some news not long ago.
The organizations behind the Saints you had killed might be trying to secretly move against you.
You need to be careful.”

“Don’t worry, Father-in-Law.
A lot of people want my life, but I’ve still lived to today.
Nobody can take my life,” said Xiang Shaoyun confidently.

With his Imperial Nether Clan abilities, apart from God Realm experts, nobody could really kill him.
