I’m Really Not A Supreme Master!

A wisp of gray mist directly annihilated the Divine Spirit.

Moreover, it used the blood of the Divine Spirit to transform into a “person” identical to the Divine Spirit.

Decline, decay, and an icy breath enveloped this gray-brown “person.”

It gripped Dugu Yuqing’s throat, as cold and indifferent as stone, seemingly devoid of any emotions that belong to living beings.

Its existence was solely for destruction, only for slaughter.

Dugu Yuqing’s cultivation level, at this moment, was utterly useless.

He was nearly suffocating!

Big Black Dog had been watching the Strange Spirit closely, and now that the moment had come, it suddenly spoke up, saying,

“Blade Shard!”

In Dugu Yuqing’s hand, a piece of scrap iron had already appeared.

With this single thought, he gripped the scrap iron and fiercely stabbed it into the body of the Strange Spirit.

In an instant!

The iron shard erupted with an unmatched power.

As if it could tear the sky apart, as if it could create worlds anew.

Invincible sword light, overwhelming sword intent, and an unspeakable sense of terror burst forth in an instant.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the Strange Spirit burst apart!

The blade shard turned into a dazzling sun, blinding everyone present!

They were completely unable to look directly at it.

Silence fell upon the scene.

For a long time, a long time!

The bystanders slowly recovered.

As their eyes gradually adjusted, they were finally able to make out their surroundings.

Almost everyone lay on the ground, their faces in a trance.

Even Wu Dade was sitting on the ground, his gaze fixed on Dugu Yuqing in shock.

Dugu Yuqing looked at the blade shard in his hand, his eyes also somewhat dazed.

In his hand, the blade shard remained, but the terrifying Strange Spirit had vanished without a trace.

As if it had never existed.

“Master anticipated everything… He gave me this blade shard so that I could… extinguish this Strange Spirit!”

He murmured.

Then, he took a deep breath and walked under the pale giant tree.

He looked at the solitary grave and the giant tree.

In front of the grave, he saw a white tombstone.

The tombstone appeared to be made from the trunk of the pale giant tree and had already fallen to the ground.

Dugu Yuqing gently picked it up and looked down to see rows of small characters on the tombstone.

“Divine Ox, Kylin, Celestial Wolf… they are all dead… how many of the ‘Ten Spirits’ remain…”

“The ‘Ten Supreme’ have all scattered, Divine Medicines were used up, and even they could not save lives…”

“Unless Yin and Yang are reversed, tracing their shadows anew within the Sea of Karma in the Yin Realm…”

…

“We have been discovered, this world is being watched…”

“My flame has died out, but that flame will not extinguish…”

“I shall pass away, old friends wither, perhaps no one will remember my name…”

At last, there was a line of large characters, the name of the tomb’s occupant.

“Tomb of Sword Spirit Vermilion Bird Red Garment.”

Dugu Yuqing looked at this line of text, tears suddenly welling up in his eyes.

He did not know the great secrets described in these words.

But he felt a sense of desolation and sadness.

He seemed to see the girl in the red dress dying slowly under the pale giant tree, old friends gone, alone and withered…

“Red Garment…”

“I am here.”

He gently caressed the tombstone, and even after countless years, the tombstone was still warm.

“Dead Dog, what, what is going on?”

Written in Wu Dade’s eyes was full of panic.

Big Black Dog murmured,

“The Strange Spirit, the true great terror, great ill omen… can only be eradicated by the master, his personally crafted Sword, of course, also can…”

But it said no more, instead lifting its head to look at Dugu Yuqing, saying,

“The Strange Mist can extinguish all life, sever all divinity, but now, the Strange Being in this grave has been lured out by that Divine Blood.”

Big Black Dog had intended to use the Divine Spirit to draw out the gray mist from the beginning.

It knew a lot about the Strange Mist.

Dugu Yuqing asked,

“Is there a way to make her live again?”

Big Black Dog answered,

“She died in this Yang Realm, and her fate with you is significant. With your blood, you can summon back a shadow from the cycles of time, granting her a new life in this world, but the price…”

Dugu Yuqing enunciated each word,

“At all costs!”

As his voice fell.

He used the blade shard to slash his wrist!

Blood flowed profusely, watering the roots of the pale giant tree and drenching the barren hills.

Suddenly.

It was as if the Sea of Karma from this world emerged, and terrifying shadows attacked.

Unknown mysterious beings seemed to raise dreadfully gigantic hands, intending to obliterate Dugu Yuqing.

The sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light.

He was seeking life from the Sea of Death, seeking seeds from the desolate tundra!

This was an act against the heavens, and in the depths, an unspeakable existence sought to erase him!

This terrifying power surpassed everything; even gods could not contend with it.

Yet Big Black Dog suddenly ran to Mu Jinglong, snatched the Divine Blood he held, which was previously prepared for a sacrifice to break a seal.

At this moment, Big Black Dog dipped its paw into the Divine Blood, then lifted its paw and wrote an ancient character in the air!

It was a “Fan” character!

“Revered in the depths, worshipped under the Sky Domain… Nine Nether Yellow Springs, those who chant this name, repress all karma, repress all ill omens!”

“Where my master commands, heaven dare not obstruct, earth dare not refuse, all Nine Nether Yellow Springs must submit!”

“Woof woof woof woof woof!”

Big Black Dog’s fur stood on end, and from its mouth, a trace of blood seeped out!

It had not yet fully recovered its Dao Fruit, but now it exerted all its might, utilizing a great technique to help Dugu Yuqing counter that unknown terror.

The Fan character written with Divine Blood, in an instant, shone with boundless brilliance!

Those terrifying beings from the Ghost Domain, those unwilling existences from beyond, all disappeared in this moment because of the appearance of this “Fan” character!

Like a ghost worshipping a god!

With a single word, repression of everything!

As those beings that wanted to obstruct Dugu Yuqing were suppressed in the dark.

The barren mound cracked open.

The pale giant tree fractured!

From within the grave, suddenly a ball of flame leapt out.

It was a flame that seemed to be made of red gold. After it appeared, it suddenly transformed into a small, fiery red bird.

And at the root of the originally pale giant tree, there even appeared a small sapling.

Its white trunk was like molten gold, its leaves were like maple, yet even more fiery red!

The fiery red bird, perched upon the tiny sapling, with its spirited red eyes, looked at Dugu Yuqing, seemingly filled with curiosity.

Dugu Yuqing stretched out his hand.

The red bird suddenly alighted in his palm.

Curling up, bowing low, his hand was like the warmest haven for the little bird.

“Red Garment, is it you?”

Dugu Yuqing murmured softly.

He had come to understand now.

In the Yang Realm, he had another life.

But that life’s self had fallen, had vanished without a trace…

So his master had initiated a rebirth samsara in a domain of the Yin Realm, found himself in the cycle of rebirth, and conferred upon him a new life.

And the Vermilion Bird… that woman named Red Garment, she was the sword spirit of his other life!

In that other life, his sword shattered, he perished, and the sword spirit Vermilion Bird withered here, dying in the wait, decaying in vigil.

She erected a monument for him!

Dugu Yuqing’s heart was filled with great sorrow, his hand shook slightly.

As it heard the words “Red Garment,” the fiery red bird’s eyes suddenly revealed a hint of confusion.

It… was just like Dugu Yuqing.

Reborn, it had forgotten the past.

“Your past, your past as a sword spirit, the you of now, the Vermilion Bird of the present…”

Big Black Dog sat by his side, at the moment somewhat listless, and said:

“The tree has reappeared, the bird reborn, you too were fished out from the sea of karma left behind by your master. If you wish to understand the past, you must find more… especially your sword.”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing’s eyes were filled with determination.

“I will find everything from the old days!”

He lowered his head, gazed at the red bird in his hand, and said:

“About you… and all of me.”

At the same time, he turned towards Big Black Dog, and asked:

“What exactly was my other life like?”

Big Black Dog, upon hearing this, cautiously sniffed the surroundings, and said in a low voice:

“The supreme aura emitted just now from the blade shard, along with the lingering might of the master’s name, can sever all karma, can shield from all listening in the dark… it is safe to tell you some things now… you’ll forget them later anyway…”

It then lifted its head and said:

“I once slept for countless years… I only know that in the old days your other life, along with many old friends, left and never returned…”

Dugu Yuqing asked:

“What about the Ten Supreme, Ten Spirits mentioned on the tombstone of Red Garment… what are they?”

Big Black Dog was silent for a long time, then it said:

“The Divine Ox, Kylin, Celestial Wolf, Vermilion Bird, and other ten great mythological creatures… they are the Ten Spirits.”

“Your other life was one of the Ten Supreme.”

“Furthermore, there are Ten Medicines, with Pan Peach as the foremost…”

Dugu Yuqing seemed to have an epiphany and said,

“So, the master took in ten disciples… which means…”

Big Black Dog was concise, “It means you all died, died completely and utterly, not even a hair left. The master can only replay the karma, personally delve into Samsara, and go to the Yin Realm to search.”

Dugu Yuqing nodded and said, “Nine rare plants, excluding Pan Peach… exactly nine, that’s it.”

Wu Dade also listened with a somewhat distracted air. Suddenly curious, he asked,

“Dead Dog, then why did our master only search for nine rare animals? There should be ten in the Ten Spirits…”

Big Black Dog’s mouth twitched as he said, “Ignorant Human Pet… because this emperor did not die!”

At his words, Wu Dade was suddenly stunned, staring at Big Black Dog in utter disbelief.

And Big Black Dog suddenly sniffed the air.

In this world, the domains formed by the Blade Shard’s divine might and the writing of the word “Fan” by Big Black Dog dissipated.

A certain Dao breath suddenly descended.

In an instant, all beings within this area were cut by this breath.

Dugu Yuqing, Wu Dade, and others all instantly revealed a look of bewilderment.

Their memories of just before… were erased!

Completely forgetting everything Big Black Dog had said, it was more than they could bear.

“What’s going on… Did I come to know some untouchable information just now, which is why it was erased?”

Dugu Yuqing muttered in astonishment.

But he didn’t dwell on it, holding the little Vermilion Bird in his hands with eyes full of compassion and relief.

Finding the Vermilion Bird was enough.

The little Vermilion Bird chirped happily and suddenly flew onto his shoulder.

Then Wu Dade said,

“We’ve got the rare animals and plants, let’s go back! Our master will certainly be glad!”

Dugu Yuqing nodded and gently dug up the sapling of the Undying Tree.

They turned around.

“No… you can’t do this, those treasures should be shared by all who see them, we want a share too!”

At this moment, Mu Jinglong spoke urgently!

He was looking at the red bird in Dugu Yuqing’s hands, and the sapling of the Undying Tree, with burning greed.

They were definitely supreme, wondrous opportunities!

However, Big Black Dog simply lifted a paw!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Countless members of the Wood Spirit Dynasty and the Crow Food Tribe were instantly destroyed.

“Everything buried in the Great Wilderness is tainted with strangeness and should never see the light of day. Yet these ants’ ancestors brought them to the outside world… And these ants dare to covet this place, they must be killed.”

Big Black Dog was ruthless!

Soon, they left the Vermilion Bird Ruins.

Looking back, the two brown peaks still stood like ancient gates, guarding this place.
