Multiverse Skill System

When Nan Hua and the others found Yi Shuihan, Yi Shuihan told them everything straightforwardly, leaving the choice to them: whether to leave for Kunxu to break through or to continue developing the Dao Academy in the Three Kingdoms.

The three of them, Nan Hua and Zuo Ci, made different decisions. Nan Hua insisted on staying to continue helping the world advance, while Zuo Ci and Yu Ji planned to break through to Kunxu. They couldn't wait to become stronger.

Yi Shuihan respected their decision and allowed Zuo Ci and Yu Ji to go to the floating island with them next time. How they entered Kunxu would then be up to them.

"It has to be said that Nan Hua is the smartest of the three immortals at the end of the Han Dynasty. Although entering Kunxu now can help him break through quickly, their foundation is not enough for them to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage. By the time Zuo Ci and Yu Ji break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage, Nan Hua may have already become an immortal."

The world's will is very fair. Nan Hua gave up the opportunity for a rapid breakthrough to help the world advance, so he will definitely be favored by the world's will. He will then be the world's favorite son, with boundless fortune. As long as he is in this world, he can have whatever he wants. Even if he forcibly breaks through to become an immortal in the end, the power of the heavenly punishment will be much weaker, and he might even be let off the hook.

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji seized the present, while Nan Hua was betting on the future. However, Yi Shuihan was more optimistic about Nan Hua.

Another short month passed, and Yi Shuihan and his group returned to the floating island.

The tributes from both the righteous and demonic paths this time were less than before, but still worth about half the value, which made Yi Shuihan praise his own cleverness.

Unsurprisingly, three more lucky individuals became demigods, and they will naturally possess the power of immortals when the time comes.

Yu Ji and Zuo Ci became disciples of the Lingxiao Sect and went to Kunxu. With their connection to Yi Shuihan, they were expected to have a good future in Kunxu.

"It's already 96% complete. I can feel an extremely powerful force being nurtured."

Having digested the gains, Yi Shuihan became even stronger.

……

"Husband, Zhou Yu is here again. Aren't you going to see him?"

"What are you looking at? I'm not going. Let him come if he wants. What does it have to do with me?"

Yi Shuihan, who was enjoying Diao Chan's massage, frowned. He had really had enough of Zhou Yu. Ever since he witnessed Yi Shuihan's power, Zhou Yu had shamelessly wanted to become his disciple, and no matter what he did, he couldn't get rid of him.

According to inaccurate calculations, Zhou Yu had failed to become an apprentice 53 times, almost every day since he met Yi Shuihan.

At first, Yi Shuihan refused outright, but later he simply stopped seeing her altogether.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu was sensible enough to stay quiet for a while after being rejected once, and he also adopted a very humble attitude. Otherwise, Yi Shuihan might have killed him.

"Besides Zhou Yu, a little fellow also came this time; he's here to become an apprentice."

"Oh? Who is it this time?"

He said his name was Pang Tong.

Yi Shuihan, who was initially indifferent, perked up immediately upon hearing this name. This man was none other than the Phoenix Chick, who was often compared to Zhuge Liang, the Crouching Dragon. Yi Shuihan had never been able to find him when he was searching for historical figures.

"Fine! Let's go take a look."

Yi Shuihan quickly regretted his decision.

"I actually forgot that although this person's talent is similar to Zhuge Liang's, his appearance is really too low, which is a disservice to the audience."

Looking at Pang Tong, whose happiness level was constantly decreasing, Yi Shuihan thought that if he had another chance to choose, he would definitely not come out.

"However, compared to Ling Yunzi, Pang Tong is actually quite handsome."

Thinking this way, Yi Shuihan felt a little better.

"Please, Your Excellency, accept me as your disciple."

"I reject!"

"Why? What's wrong with me? Can't I change?"

"Go learn the correct way to be reincarnated first!"

"..."

Pang Tong was drawing circles on the ground. Zhou Yu, mustering his courage once again, was about to speak, but before he could, Yi Shuihan gave him a look, and he stayed to draw circles with Pang Tong.

"Handsome brother, I've come to see you again."

Accompanied by silvery laughter, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao appeared in Yi Shuihan's sight. Since meeting Yi Shuihan, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao have often come to visit, especially Xiao Qiao, who makes no attempt to hide her admiration for Yi Shuihan.

Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan only saw Xiao Qiao as a lively and lovely younger sister and had no intention of taking her in.

Not only Yi Shuihan, but also others like Cai Yan, Tsunade, and Robin like Xiao Qiao and get along very well with her. Xiao Qiao is like a ray of sunshine, making everyone happy. Even Hancock looks at her differently.

"Brother Zhou, and Little Turkey, you're here too!"

"Who are you calling a little turkey? I'm clearly a phoenix."

Pang Tong glared angrily at Xiao Qiao.

"Hehe, it's clearly a little turkey, but it won't let others say that. Little turkey, little turkey."

Xiao Qiao wasn't afraid of Pang Tong, but when she spoke, she quietly hid behind Yi Shuihan, clearly intending to use Yi Shuihan as a shield.

Pang Tong looked at Xiao Qiao with grief and indignation, recalling the scene of their meeting a few days ago.

"Hey, who are you? What are you doing at Brother Zhou's house?"

"I am Pang Tong, also known as the Young Phoenix."

"Phoenix chick? What's that? I get it, is it a little turkey?"

"Fengchu represents a young phoenix."

"Oh! It really is a baby turkey."

Pang Tong's lifelong reputation was ruined by Xiao Qiao, and he couldn't even imagine being called "Little Turkey" in the future.

He looked at Yi Shuihan with hopeful eyes, hoping that Yi Shuihan could help him clear his name.

Unfortunately, Pang Tong clearly overestimated Yi Shuihan's integrity and his standing in Yi Shuihan's eyes.

"Okay, stop talking like that! It's not a little turkey. Don't call it that anymore. It's very impolite, you know?"

Before Pang Tong could even smile, Yi Shuihan's words plunged him into despair.

"Calling him 'Little Turkey' is an insult to Little Turkey. Little Turkey is much more powerful than him."

Chapter 633, Ancient Demon

"Hahaha! Did you hear that? The little turkey is much better than you."

Xiao Qiao pointed at Pang Tong and laughed loudly.

"I want to apologize to the little turkey; I shouldn't have used it as a metaphor."

"Yes, it is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them!"

Yi Shuihan looked like a promising young man, which made everyone around him hold back their laughter.

Pang Tong felt greatly insulted; even the imperial advisor he admired could not belittle him like this.

Just when Yi Shuihan thought that this would definitely make Pang Tong feel hostile towards him and stop mentioning becoming his disciple, he found that Pang Tong, who had been looking at him with resentment, suddenly looked thoughtful.

"I have a bad feeling! Is there something I haven't thought of?"

Yi Shuihan did not consider one point, namely Pang Tong's imagination. As someone whose talent could be compared with Zhuge Liang, he directly imagined an answer: Yi Shuihan did not mean to humiliate him, but rather did so to make Xiao Qiao stop calling him "Little Turkey".

"As expected of the Imperial Advisor, the problem is now completely solved. Although I will have to suffer a little for the time being, it is much better than being called 'Little Turkey' in the future."

I've made up my mind. I must become the Grand Tutor's disciple. How can one failure make me, Pang Tong, give up? Even Brother Zhou persevered and persisted. I don't believe I can't even compare to Brother Zhou.

The Imperial Advisor is so powerful, isn't it normal that he's unwilling to easily accept disciples? I believe that as long as I persist and let the Imperial Advisor see my talent and character, I will surely be able to move him.

Having solidified his belief, Pang Tong exuded an aura of self-assurance, which seemed rather strange.

"What should we play today? Chess, mahjong, or cards? Shall we invite Xiao Po to play together?"

Xiao Qiao didn't notice Pang Tong's change and kept chattering to Yi Shuihan.

"If you want to play, you can go find Wenji and the others yourself. I have things to do today."

Ignoring Xiao Qiao's disappointed expression, Yi Shuihan left the spot at superhuman speed.

Yi Shuihan didn't intentionally avoid playing with Xiao Qiao; he genuinely had something to do.

Just now, Yi Shuihan received a distress message from Kunxu.

"A great change has occurred in Kunxu. An ancient demon has been born. We are no match for him. Please come quickly, True Lord."

I was quite interested in this so-called ancient demon Yi Shuihan, so I decided to go and see him.

"Could this ancient demon be a reincarnator?"

With the fierce fox and others leading the way, Yi Shuihan quickly arrived at Kunxu.

"A decent concentration of spiritual energy."

Compared to the Three Kingdoms world, the spiritual energy density of the Kunxu Secret Realm is dozens of times higher, which explains why so many people can undergo tribulation here.

"Good heavens, this ancient demon is really powerful."

Half of the sky was dyed black, and a series of mournful howls, like ghostly cries, could be heard.

"Fortunately, it's within my control."

After sensing the aura, Yi Shuihan found that the demon's aura was slightly stronger than his own, but not by much. Given Yi Shuihan's combat power, which far exceeded his cultivation level, he was not in much danger dealing with the demon.

As the system advanced, Yi Shuihan lost his biggest trump card, so he became very cautious. If this demon was really too strong, he would definitely turn around and run away, find a place to hide, and wait until the system's advancement period before taking revenge.

When Yi Shuihan and the fierce fox finally arrived at the Lingxiao Sect, they were greeted by a scene resembling a battlefield, with countless cultivators and various flying swords and magical treasures attacking the enormous black mass.

This enormous black mass is the so-called ancient demon. Its entire body is composed of black energy, and it is enormous, comparable to a floating island, and it is still expanding.

Yi Shuihan noticed that all the cultivators who came into contact with the black energy aged prematurely, as if their life force had been drained.

Within the depths of the black mass, countless tiny hands continuously grasped at cultivators, absorbing their power to strengthen themselves.

"True Lord, you have finally arrived."

Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, the righteous people, led by the Lingxiao Sect, all came over to pay their respects.

"How did it appear?"

Yi Shuihan asked.

"It's all our fault. A few days ago, we discovered an ancient cave and went in to explore for treasure. Because we found treasure, we started fighting, which broke the seal on this demon and allowed it to escape. At first, it was only one-tenth the size it is now."

The man didn't say what treasure it was, and Yi Shuihan was too lazy to ask. He just watched this so-called ancient demon with great interest.

"Does this thing even have intelligence? It shouldn't be a wild beast that fights solely on instinct!"

How should we deal with it? It's so big, any attack that isn't wide-range will only scratch the surface.

"We beg Your Majesty to show mercy and subdue this demon."

"True Lord, for the sake of all living beings, we beg you to take action!"

Yi Shuihan wasn't in a hurry, but the others couldn't wait, because people were dying every moment, and among those who died were their relatives, friends, and fellow disciples.

"Lina, go and trigger the heavenly punishment to prepare for your tribulation."

Yi Shuihan pointed at the leader of the Hehuan Sect, who once claimed to have 100,000 beautiful women under his tutelage.

Lingna was stunned, then her face lit up with ecstasy. Although she didn't understand why Yi Shuihan was helping her overcome her tribulation instead of ignoring the ancient demon, she still followed Yi Shuihan's instructions and began to trigger the heavenly punishment.

Perhaps because the spiritual energy concentration in the Kunxu Secret Realm is higher, the Heavenly Punishment Thunderclouds gathered at an extremely fast speed this time, and their power was also greater.

"I understand. The True Lord wants to use the power of Heavenly Punishment to eliminate this great demon. For this type of demon, the power of Heavenly Punishment can restrain it."

Someone guessed Yi Shuihan's thoughts and shouted it out, immediately causing others who didn't understand to look at Yi Shuihan with admiration.

Under this enhanced divine punishment, Lina only withstood three hits before desperately calling for help.

Without wasting words, Yi Shuihan immediately began to fight against the heavenly punishment.

The ancient demon's body was too large, and with Yi Shuihan's deliberate guidance, it became something similar to the defensive formation of the Blackwater True Monarch's cave. Yi Shuihan's tribulation lightning pierced through it, and the real heavenly punishment also pierced through it, which meant that it directly faced an attack of twice the heavenly punishment.

The black mass that had been impossible to destroy before was shrinking at a visible rate. When it encountered the Heavenly Punishment and Yi Shuihan's tribulation lightning, it dissipated as quickly as darkness meeting sunlight.

Chapter 634 Shadow Eddie

It must be said that lightning was more effective than imagined in dealing with a demon whose foundation was negative power. If it were a normal cultivator, he would not have suffered such great damage.

It was inevitable that the demon would not surrender so easily. The originally huge black mass began to shrink rapidly and become more solid. It abandoned its huge body, which not only made it easier to dodge attacks, but also made it more powerful and less powerless when facing the heavenly punishment.

Nothing in the world is absolute. Generally speaking, water controls fire, but in certain situations, fire can control water in turn. Light controls darkness, but darkness also has the opportunity to surpass light.

When the demon's enormous form shrunk to the size of a human, the Heavenly Punishment and the Yi Shui Han Tribulation Lightning became less effective against him.

Of course, this doesn't mean it's completely ineffective; this can be seen from the fact that the demon still chooses to dodge if possible.

"You are not from this world, so who are you?"

The voice was a little disjointed at first, as if the speaker hadn't spoken in a long time and had almost forgotten how to speak.
