Chapter 572 - Xie Qingtian’s Predicament

Chapter 572 – Xie Qingtian's Predicament

In the Xie Clan's main hall, an elderly man sat on the throne, gazing at the clansmen of Xie Clan. Everybody else sat on their seats, gazing at their leader, waiting for his decision.

The elderly man was the patriarch of the Xie Clan, Xie Xuanyuan. He wore casual robes like ordinary cultivators. However, the fabric was made from the fibers of Yamato no Orochi's crystalized blood essence.

The old man exuded the aura of a deity. However, a few members in the hall also had the same air.

Two other old men in a similar set of clothes stood next to the patriarch. They were Xie Xuanyuan's sons, who were also their father's aides. They, too, looked like an undying mummy, but they were mysteriously healthy and stronger than everybody else here.

The last deity was none other than Xie Qingtian. Unlike his two elder brothers, he looked like Xie Xuanyuan when the latter was in his prime. He was the only deity with black hair while the rest and many immortals were mostly old men.

Also, their facial feature looked a lot different than humans. The outline of their faces looked refined and gorgeous, and everyone had long ears.

They were elves!

Moreover, Xie Qingtian was the only one who wore the white uniform of the Eden Garden Sect. His grand elder badge reflected the light from the hall's candles.

Xie Qingtian, Xie Xuanyuan, and every clansman in the hall listened to the report of their subordinate. The report was none other than Sun Yang's movements.

"Adam's illegitimate child?"

Instead of paying attention to Sun Yang's movements or the centipede queen, Xie Xuanyuan was interested in the identity of the new sect's initiate.

"I need intel on this so-called Mao Miaomiao," Xie Xuanyuan glanced at one of his sons.

Xie Lian, the eldest son of Xie Xuanyuan, brought out a jade plate and flickered it toward the center of the hall. Then, the plate grew larger and several words manifested from the jade's surface. The portrait of Miaomiao showed up afterward.

…

Name: Mao Miaomaio

Age: Unknown

Race: First Generation War Marionette (Citation Needed)

Cultivation Method: Unknown

Cultivation Base: Nascent Soul (Citation Needed)

Sect Position: Initiate Number 1212

General Information

This mysterious rumored child of Adam first appeared on Golden Heavenly Goose Planet, Karen Constellation Sector. He was known to be a sex fiend before he met Adam.

Three years ago, Mao Miaomiao had a conflict with one of our expelled clan members by the name Xie Tian. According to the karma report, Xie Tian was killed roughly 6 months after they first met. Also, Mao Miaomiao's name was recently put on our clan's enemy list last year because of this karma.

Mao Miaomiao has a close relationship with the Trumpet Alliance's members, Devil, Macho Joshua, OG-Buddha, Sun Wukong, Sun Wu, Kunwu, the 9th Prince of Golden Crow Clan, Tilted Hongjun, the Fang Clan, and many immortals due to his DaoTube and DaoPorn career. However, he and Devil had a disagreement, and Mao Miaomiao's DaoTube and DaoPorn channels were shut down (Citation needed).

As for Mao Miaomiao's enemies, there are plenty. Mao Miaomiao offended Kishin Douji, Karen, Yuan Hua, Lilith, Qin Shi Huang, and several immortals. Qin Shi Huang, Kishin Douji, and Lilim have already placed a bounty on Mao Miaomiao's head, and the total sum has reached ten 8th-grade soul stones.

According to spy reports from the Netherworld Realm, Mao Miaomiao allegedly attempted to assassinate Lilith. Currently, Lilith is in a coma, and Lilim has mobilized her troops to search for his whereabouts.

Due to the circumstances, Mao Miaomiao has sought refuge with Lord Adam and has been disguising himself as Lord Adam's child.

Strengths and Weaknesses Analysis

Mao Miaomiao is an infamous duel cultivator. He is currently in a relationship with many succubi, demons, and demi-humans, so his lifespan is expected to be lower than average cultivators.

Mao Miaomiao has strong sword roots and all spiritual roots. He can turn most basic elements into elemental domains, and he can use the Death Fortress Sword Style of the Jian Clan. However, it is reported that Mao Miaomiao hasn't mastered it yet.

The most dangerous power of Mao Miaomiao is the Dao of Time-Space. Our spy reports from Macho Joshua's workers confirmed that Mao Miaomiao has inherited Devil's legacy, and he has been using it to rapidly get stronger.

The flaw of Mao Miaomiao is none other than his carnal desire and trust issues. When he was at Golden Heavenly Goose Planet, he brainwashed over 20 beautiful women and turned them into yin slaves. Even his manor was nicknamed Yin Slave Mansion.

Also, among the yin slaves, interesting names show up, such as Fang Yanxu of Fang Clan, Mao Xueyan of White Tiger Den, Pan Xiaofan of Great Pan Dynasty, and Shen Niu of Shenlong House. Further investigation is required to confirm their relationship with these organizations.

…

The Xie Clan's members were astonished. Though they got used to Xie Lian's spy artifact, the biography and description of Mao Miaomiao surprised them.

How could a lowly dual-cultivator rise this high? Normally, they should have died early because of their weak foundation and the lack of combat experience.

Yet, Mao Miaomiao did the impossible. He befriended several gods and established a DaoPorn channel. He also offended several big shots and got himself a huge bounty.

After all of that, Mao Miaomiao was alive and kicking. He even used their god to migrate to the Dark Forbidden Zone.

Most importantly, he was still a mortal.

What a chad.

Many immortals in the hall grinned. A few of them showed the saved sex clips of Miaomiao to their friends, flexing their foresight and connection with Mao Miaomiao. Some of them even used to donate a few soul stones to him.

Xie Xuanyuan noticed the hushed commotion. He waved his finger. Then, several J-Phone flew toward him.

The patriarch operated the phone to see what they were watching. He also raised the volume to the max.

"Ahn! Oh, yes! Ah! AAAA!"

"…"

Next to Xie Xuanyuan, the two aides' faces turned ashen, and they sweated profusely. They were afraid that their father might find this vulgar and offensive.

Betraying their expectation, Xie Xuanyuan burst into laughter.

"I like this kid. He's bold!"

Xie Xuanyuan flickered his fingers and returned the phones to the owners. He also glared at the perverted clansmen, "If you don't want me to punish you, send me the clips later! I want everything you have in your phone!"

"…"

Every eye in the hall became round, and their pupils turned into small dots. None of them uttered a word as they noticed something.

The pants of Xie Xuanyuan were pitched.

The clansmen pretended not to see them. They bit their lips and their tongue to maintain their pokerface.

Xie Qingtian let out a sigh and coughed to break the awkwardness, "Father, I have something to say."

"Speak, Qingtian."

Xie Qingtian walked closer to the jade plate. Then, he pointed at the section where it mentioned Xie Tian's name.

"Everyone should know that I once had a child with a mortal human a long time ago."

Xie Xuanyuan and his two aides nodded. It happened two decades ago when Xie Qingtian was sent to an expedition. At that time, the grand elder disguised himself as a mortal to infiltrate the Yeet City to find Firecracker, a sealed fire dragon in the Myriad Cauldron's secret plane.

Because of the nature of his job, he married a local woman to blend in. Xie Qingtian's wife later died giving birth to Xie Tian.

Xie Qingtian felt bad for Xie Tian. He brought the baby back, hoping to nurture him in his wife's stead.

Unfortunately, the clan did not welcome half-elves. Xie Qingtian was forced to abandon Xie Tian on the Golden Heavenly Goose Planet and seal his elven bloodline.

Xie Qingtian bitterly followed the clan's instruction and returned home.

After that, Xie Tian grew up. Everything else was history.

Xie Qingtian was on the verge of crying, "Even though Xie Tian was never acknowledged by everybody here, he is still my son. I request permission to avenge my son!"

"Denied!" Xie Xuanyuan scoffed.

"Why?! Mao Miaomiao is our enemy! He killed one of us!"

"Xie Tian is never one of us. Don't bring up this topic again. Also, remove Mao Miaomiao's name from our enemy list. He's on our side now."

Xie Qingtian punched the jade plate, "Since when is Mao Miaomiao on our side?! What? You're fine with an outsider, but you threw tantrum when I brought a half-elf child here. What is this double-standard? Father, do you realize what you're doing?!"

"Shut up or I'll seal you inside my dantian space!"

"Father, you're a hypocrite!"

"We are descendants of Adam! We treasure our bloodline and our legacy. Obviously, we do not welcome half-blood as one of our kin. However, a talented child of another race is another story. If we cultivate him well, we can raise him as one of our servants! Then, we can extract his bloodline to nurture our descendants!"

"As I said, you're a hypocrite. Since you're fine taking a demon as a servant, why didn't you at least take Xie Tian in as a servant as well?!"

"Simple. An elf with short ears is no elf. He's a taboo child and an eyesore."

"You…"

BOOM

Xie Qingtian punched the jade plate and destroyed it. He took off his grand elder's badge and tossed it to Xie Xuanyuan's face.

He grudgingly severed his ties with his family, "From now on, we're strangers!"

Xie Xuanyuan snorted. He clapped his hands.

BOOM

The gravity below Xie Qingtian's feet suddenly got stronger. The deity was pressed to the ground by an invisible force.

"Xie Qingtian, you're under arrest for treason. Although you're my son, you can't bad-mouthing me and expect to scotch free unpunished!"

"Hmm!"

BOOM

The ground below Xie Qingtian exploded. The entire building was blasted by a shockwave, and nearby immortals turned into blood mist.

The shockwave also hit Xie Xuanyuan, Xie Lian, and the other deity. However, it had no effect on them other than blowing their hair.

Xie Xuanyuan snapped his fingers. Then, all Xie Clan's members were resurrected.

The other two sons of Xie Xuanyuan also pointed their fingers at Xie Qingtian. But before they could do anything, their arms were sliced into a thousand pieces.

Xie Qingtian reappeared in the sky, looking down on his father and family.

The father looked at his son, "You can't escape from my Providence Domain, Xie Qingtian. Your soul is bound to me. I can imprison your soul in my dantian world anytime I want to."

"Tsk!"

Xie Qingtian clicked his tongue and vanished. However, Xie Xuanyuan snapped his fingers again.

The soul of Xie Qingtian was instantly pulled into Xie Xuanyuan's body.

"As I said before, your soul is bound with mine. If one of us dies, we die together. I can't possibly allow you to roam free, son."

Xie Xuanyuan could hear his son's outburst inside his body. He could only sigh and ignore the swearing.

The patriarch looked at the other clan members, "All of you should remember as well. As long as we're inside this city, we can never die. Also, if I die or Xie Qingtian dies, everybody here dies."

The immortals of Xie Clan knelt and cupped their fists, "We understand, Your Majesty!"

"Hmm."

Xie Xuanyuan turned to his other sons next to him.

The two deities snickered, "We're not in your eyes, eh?"

The father shook his head, "Among you three, Qingtian is the strongest and the youngest. Of course, it's normal to give him preferential treatment. As for you two, you have already bound your souls to our heirloom artifacts to prolong your lifespan. Why should I shorten my lifespan to protect you, weaklings? You talentless short-lived fools have no qualification to be my backup body."

"We know."

The two aides waved their arms, and the destroyed buildings were restored. The furniture, the people, and the environment were reverted back to normal. Even the jade plate was repaired.

Xie Xuanyuan continued the meeting as if nothing had happened, "Send someone to the 12th initiate peak. Make sure to report directly to me when Mao Miaomiao comes out of seclusion. Also, I shall attend the next initiate examination to see that kid."

The patriarch's eyes revealed his greed, "I want his Time-Space secrets!"

…

Isolated Training Space

Miaomiao and Xie Tian looked at each other. The latter mustered his courage and asked Miaomiao for another favor.

"According to the second timeline, by this time, Xie Xuanyuan and my father should have a fallout because of my death, and my father will be trapped inside Xie Xuanyuan's dantian space. Xie Xuanyuan will attempt to brainwash my father and steal his lifespan next. But then, Devil will show up and raid the clan, rescuing my father in the process. However, in this timeline, Devil has been captured by a sage."

Xie Tian worried about his father's fate. As the events of this timeline differed from the second timeline, he planned to take action instead of waiting for Devil's help.

Unfortunately, Xie Tian couldn't do it alone.

"Master, can you allow me to visit my clan? I wish to confront my grandfather and rescue my father."

Miaomiao was moved by Xie Tian filially and courage. However, he disapproved of Xie Tian's method, "With only your soul? Won't you be devoured by the Miasma of the Forbidden Zone? You know that I can't bring you along to the goddamn Black Sun now. I'm too weak, you know."

"After I become your Dao Sentinel, I should be able to temporarily possess one of your clones and visit my clan. How about this? You can summon a shadow clone of myself, and I'll try to possess it."

Xie Tian had a groundbreaking idea. He wanted to possess the 1,000% potential clone of his dead counterpart.

"But you're skipping the important part here. We haven't even finished the Chrono Element Continent, and you're not a Dao Sentinel yet. How are you going to possess it?"

"The Chrono Element is unique, master. Its completion method is different from other elements. You can take the Chaos Element as an example."

"I know. I also have the memory."

Miaomiao narrowed his eyes. He knew the method, but it was too risky and costly. He might lose all of the precious lifespans that he had been collecting.

Even so, Miaomiao believed in the decision of a protagonist. It was his storyline, so there was no need to hinder it.

"Alright. I'll bet everything on you. If you succeed, you can go and rescue your father!"

"Thank you, master!"
