Chapter 417: The Sea of Greed

Huh?

Lu Ye was taken aback by those words.

I mean, he’d seen both the Emotion Dao and the Ultimate Emotion Dao before, but none were this outrageous, right?

Why did it suddenly turn into this with Shangguan Huanling?

“Ding, it’s all good now!”

Shen Xitang said somewhat reluctantly.

Never had there been a woman who made Shen Xitang feel like looking up at a mountain, but now she appeared!

That’s right, it’s Shangguan Huanling!

Lu Ye’s face showed nothing but helplessness.

“Forget it, stop looking; it’s distressing!”

Lu Ye said with a bit of discomfort.

“Ding, no, let’s watch a little longer!”

Shen Xitang still wasn’t satisfied; she just wanted to see how Shangguan Huanling would cultivate now that her business was gone!

Sun Ruowei listened to Shangguan Huanling’s words and felt quite helpless.

“Huanling, Lu Ye targeting you right now isn’t about trying to toughen you up; he has no intention of forgiving you whatsoever. He’s merely taking back what he once gave you. He doesn’t love you anymore; you should wake up!” Sun Ruowei said earnestly.

“Master Uncle, I’m not an idiot; I know that.”

“Then why are you still thinking like this?”

“Well, if Lu Ye wants to take back what he gave me, I have no problem with that. If I don’t rely on what he gave me, I can still catch up to him, right?”

Sun Ruowei…

“And how do you plan to catch up?”

“From today on, I’ll work hard to cultivate the Emotion Dao; I’ll take it to a very high level. I’m going to give up on the Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra!” Shangguan Huanling said, her eyes filled with determination.

Lu Ye’s expression broke into a genuine smile.

She’s actually choosing to give up on the Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra?

It seemed Shangguan Huanling hadn’t properly cultivated for so long that she had forgotten just how hard cultivating was.

“You… what are you going to cultivate?” Sun Ruowei asked hesitantly.

Shangguan Huanling confidently stated four words.

“Supreme Emotion Immortal Sutra!”

Lu Ye’s smile vanished.

Supreme Emotion Immortal Sutra… how did she even learn about its contents?

There was no denying that at this moment, Lu Ye felt a trace of worry. What if, just what if Shangguan Huanling really completed the Supreme Emotion Immortal Sutra? What would he do then?

That’s genuinely a problem.

Shen Xitang frowned tightly.

Who would have thought that among all the ex-wives—some stubborn, some hypocritical, some poisonous, some crazy—the most troublesome one would turn out to be a silly one!

“I’m not watching anymore, let’s go out for a bit!”

If it were anyone else, Lu Ye might have been interested in continuing to watch, but when it came to Shangguan Huanling, his emotions were all over the place. He really regretted ever getting involved with her!

Am I still a person?

Shen Xitang reluctantly dispelled the light screen, merging back into Lu Ye’s body.

After some time, it’d be necessary to check on Shangguan Huanling. Watching too long would surely lead to an existential crisis.

Lu Ye arrived at Heavenly Gate Star and met the Drunken Sword Daoist.

“Greetings, Sect Master!” Drunken Sword Daoist cupped his hands.

Lu Ye nodded, “Is there a place in the Fifth Heaven similar to the Sorrow Cave?”

“Yes, there is!”

“There are three in total: the first is the Sea of Greed, the second is the No-Exit Cave, and the third is Echo Valley!”

“Give me a map and details on these three places; I’ll go take care of it.”

As the Grandmaster of Heavenly Gate, it was natural for him to handle matters that the others couldn’t.

“Shall I go with you, Sect Master?” Drunken Sword Daoist asked.

“Me too! Me too!” Lin Chuyue’s voice chimed in.

Lu Ye couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Lin Chuyue immediately beamed with joy.

The three of them took to the skies and flew out of Heavenly Gate Star.

The Drunken Sword Daoist began explaining.

“The Sea of Greed is a body of water. It started on a small planet, but now it has completely taken over the entire planet. Rumor has it that the Sea of Greed is constantly engaging in bets with everyone. As long as you keep winning, everything in the Sea of Greed belongs to the winner, but if you lose, you’ll have to pay the price.”

“Moreover, the Sea of Greed can’t be destroyed; it absorbs all attacks. It’s like the only way to make it completely disappear is to win against it in a bet!”

“What do people bet on?” Lu Ye asked.

“Anything you can think of; usually, it’s what one is best at. The Sea of Greed welcomes it all!”

“Betting one’s life is also quite common, right?” Lu Ye asked.

“Absolutely!”

Everyone dreams of hitting the jackpot.

“But those who bet their lives are generally nearing their end anyway; life or death, what’s the difference? They might as well take a gamble just before they die, and then they’d all end up dead. The Sea of Greed continues to expand.”

Lu Ye nodded, beginning to understand.

In his past life, he had heard of the Sea of Greed but never visited it since he wasn’t interested. He didn’t need to gamble; as long as he followed the routine, he could be invincible.

In this life, he didn’t need to gamble either; let’s go check it out first!

Soon, the three figures arrived at the Sea of Greed. The entire planet had turned into a water sphere, with the sea giving the planet a deep blue hue.

There were many people nearby, including elderly folks and young faces.

One by one, they stood before the Sea of Greed, some with sudden surges of power, while others left with excited expressions, clutching treasures obtained from the Sea of Greed.

Of course, some entered the Sea of Greed quietly, without causing a ripple.

It was a strangely harmonious yet eerie scene.

Lu Ye watched this spectacle and thought, if one were to step in, I’m afraid even the True Spirit might just vanish!

“Can we attack?” Lu Ye asked.

“We can, but it won’t have much effect, and many would try to stop you.” Drunken Sword Daoist replied.

Lu Ye nodded and launched a sword light toward the Sea of Greed.

“Boom!”

The entire Sea of Greed erupted with a colossal roar.

Instantly, pairs of crazed eyes turned toward Lu Ye.

Of course, Lu Ye wouldn’t let them be. He coldly returned their gaze.

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Lu Ye, the madness in their eyes swiftly turned docile.

However, some didn’t recognize Lu Ye and immediately bellowed angrily.

“You’re seeking death!”

“Boom!”

An old Imperishable Realm cultivator who had lunged toward Lu Ye instantly turned into a mist of blood, while the Emperor’s Banner captured the soul.

Quick!

Too quick—almost no one managed to catch the glimpse of Lu Ye’s sword light.

But then again, who could blame them? Lu Ye was now an Imperishable Realm cultivator; in the Cosmic Realm, he could kill Imperishable Realm opponents, so now that he was also Imperishable Realm, wasn’t killing Imperishable Realm opponents just child’s play?

Under Lu Ye’s gaze, regardless of how mad they seemed, after witnessing his swift actions, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

Lu Ye turned his attention back to the Sea of Greed, and a voice echoed in his mind.

“Don’t attack me; whatever wish you have, I can help you fulfill it!”
