Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Mutation
Baiyu’s purification nearly broke Shangguan Tianyang’s mental defenses.
It’s important to understand.
His pollution level was so severe that even the top physicians in the East Prosperity Imperial had almost no way to handle it.
His entire being relied on his own willpower for support.
All these years, he has been recuperating in the Jingxin Hall of the Imperial Palace, striving hard to shield himself from external disturbances, hoping to find a way to resolve this terrifying pollution level and evil thoughts within him.
Yet.
He has discovered nothing over the years.
Currently, Shangguan Tianyang can only rely on medication and his own willpower to indirectly control the diffusion of the pollution level.
Human strength ultimately has its limits.
At present, he is just like Qiong Yue, controlling to the limit.
This time when he emerges from seclusion.
He aims to ensure the succession of the kingdom, laying the foundation for his next generation, to ensure that during the transition of power, the entire kingdom will not plunge into turmoil.
He intends to complete this task with the last glow of his life.
But now.
As he initiates this endeavor, it seems he has encountered the hope to solve the pollution level.
"Don’t worry too much, just relax.
This ability of mine has no side effects, but it only addresses the symptoms and not the root cause.
If you want to reduce pollution level.
You’ll still need to rely on yourself."
Baiyu spoke again.
The effect of purification was only to expel the negative emotions in a person’s heart.
The elderly man before him not only had a severe pollution level but also deeply rooted negative emotions in his heart.
Continuing like this would only lead to a vicious cycle.
Thus, Baiyu used purification to drive away those extreme and dark thoughts from his heart.
"I am deeply grateful for your intervention, sir."
Shangguan Tianyang quickly stood up and bowed to Baiyu: "I never expected to encounter such extraordinary Spirit Technique in this world, it’s truly wondrous."
"Ah, this isn’t a Spirit Technique, it’s a kind of special ability."
Baiyu had to explain discreetly.
He couldn’t possibly say.
This is a Secret Technique from the Scholar Space?
For now, he had to attribute it to a Magic Elixir that gave him special abilities, so as to not arouse suspicion.
"I see, but Mr. Bai’s methods are truly astonishing."
Shangguan Tianyang’s face showed no surprise.
He was already convinced about the rumor of Baiyu being a reincarnation.
This peculiar and odd method could only be used by those who had dealt with deities in the past.
"I am aware of my situation, it’s no exaggeration to say I’m beyond cure.
The pollution level in my body remains high.
Every moment, I can hear the whispers of those void Evil Gods.
This kind of life is torture.
Originally, after arranging matters for my children, I intended to leave alone and risk life and death, but Mr. Bai’s method reignited my hope.
Does Mr. Bai have a real way to treat pollution level?"
At this moment.
Shangguan Tianyang wasn’t the Divine Emperor who shook the land.
Nor the valiant ruler who conquered the Spirit Realm.
He was a humble elderly man seeking redemption, an ordinary person yearning for salvation.
In the power of the Evil God, everyone can only struggle to survive.
Now Shangguan Tianyang has discovered a chance to escape this vortex, how could he not be excited.
"You probably felt it; I can only dispel the negative emotions pent up in your heart, but this pollution level thing..."
Though there’s no known direct way to lower someone’s pollution level.
However.
Baiyu could conceive of at least two methods to help the elderly man reduce his pollution level.
One, upgrade his knowledge of Mysticism.
Upon reaching LV4 or LV5, the Scholar Secret Technique rewarded from Mysticism knowledge would surely include techniques for clearing pollution level.
Two, the two mutated mouths on his palms.
This was Baiyu’s sole mutation point.
Though it doesn’t affect his life, it is a genuine mutation, and Baiyu hasn’t yet understood what kind of phenomenon it is.
But.
The only certainty.
Is that those two mouths can devour many strange things.
They can even devour "powers."
And devouring pollution level might even succeed.
These are the two simplest and most direct methods Baiyu thought of, but he couldn’t apply them to the elderly man.
After all.
These methods were not very formal, and he wasn’t sure if they would work.
Their relationship hadn’t reached that level of trust yet.
Seeing Baiyu hesitate to speak.
Shangguan Tianyang asked urgently: "Is there a way to treat it?"
Baiyu shook his head: "I’m not certain either, but the world is vast and full of wonders.
I believe there should be a way to treat it.
Only.
This matter depends on fate, when fate arrives, everything will naturally fall into place."
Shangguan Tianyang froze for a moment.
From the other party’s words,
Is there a way?
But such ambiguous statements made Shangguan Tianyang a bit frustrated.
You people.
Just love playing this game.
Can’t you be straightforward and blunt?
"Well then Mr. Bai, may I visit you another day to discuss it further?"
Shangguan Tianyang pondered for a few seconds and said.
Currently, his relationship with Baiyu indeed wasn’t close to that extent.
He also couldn’t exert imperial pressure on the other.
Such old monsters.
Having chosen reincarnation, one couldn’t know how many contingency plans they prepared.
He wouldn’t wish to collide with a named entity.
Being a named entity himself.
He knew each named entity possesses unparalleled strength.
Some even surpass deities.
"Hmm, I’m generally here during weekdays, feel free to drop by anytime, don’t stand on ceremony."
Baiyu smiled.
This elderly man exuded an extremely deep hidden aura, clearly a person with a story.
Perhaps.
He could be a retired military bigwig.
Making acquaintance certainly had no downsides.
Since his work involved dealing with these retired veterans.
...
After helping with the formalities, Baiyu and the Moon Lady escorted Shangguan Tianyang out of the Veterans Mutual Aid Association.
"Mr. Bai, I will visit you another day."
"Hmm, take care, travel safely."
Baiyu bid farewell to him at the door.
A man and a woman who had been standing like poles at the door quickly approached when the elderly man came out.
"These two have such profound Blood Qi that I can’t even perceive its depth.
It seems the elderly man’s status isn’t low; even his guards are so formidable."
Baiyu thought to himself.
The other must be someone at the commander level in the military.
"Let’s go, Moon Lady, we’re heading home."
Throwing out the odd ideas swirling in his mind.
Baiyu patted the young girl beside him on the shoulder.
The Moon Lady had officially upgraded to his little secretary, spending every day by his side.
Only in this way.
Baiyu could be assured of guiding Yi Xian and the Moon Lady, these two pagans extremely obsessed with Black Moon Power.
He needed to steer them back on the right path.
They walked together towards 32 Haiqing Avenue, the current residence of Baiyu.
But.
While passing through the alley.
The world suddenly fell silent.
The Moon Lady clutched Baiyu’s coat tightly, her crisp voice extremely serious: "There’s an enemy."
