“This…isn’t this it a bit too weird?”
Tianyi said to himself as he looked at the face of the youth who attempted to kill him back in the Pan Kingdom. Although the attempt ultimately failed, it left a deep impression on Tianyi, especially after learning the truth about the Dragon Emperor.
“Thank you very much Elder Shan.”
Although the youth was speaking courteous words, no sincerity could be heard as he inspected the bottle of pills.
“Hmpf.” Elder Shan didn’t have a good look on his face. “Even if you are the son of Grand Elder Xi, she can save you once or twice but can she save you forever?’
“Many thanks for Elder Shan’s concern. But I know what I’m doing.” Elder Shan snorted before leaving with a flick of his sleeves.
Tianyi felt his mind become numb at the words. This was him?
How did he become such an…asshole? He knew he had slight sadistic tendencies, but every action the other him took was like saying “look at me, I’m a giant douche!”
Also, the other him was extremely liberal with where he was placing his hands on the four beauties. Right now one of the beauties sat on his legs and rested her head on his chest while his hand was at her lower back.
This was too…open and daring. It was also in a public place! At least wait until you’re in your room, Tianyi shouted in his mind.
“Lord Xi, that old fellow is too disrespectful.” One of the beauties serving him said, aggrieved for the other Tianyi.
“Don’t worry about him, he’s just an old fellow whose immortal path is severed at the Nascent Soul realm no matter his attainments in the Dao of Alchemy.” The other Tianyi said without a care as he began to indulge in the four beauties, the bottle of pills forgotten on the table.
Tianyi felt his lips twitch as he went outside, the scene inside was too spicy for his eyes.
Tianyi released his spiritual senses to observe the estate, he had already noticed from the moment he first entered that this was already different from his own version of the estate. He naturally avoided the main hall where pa pa pa was happening.
Tianyi couldn’t help but cover his face when he discovered that although all the tens of maids here weren’t as beautiful as the four beauties in the main hall, they were still all first class beauties.
“That can’t be me. There’s no way.” Tianyi said to himself. Rather than cultivating, the other him just indulged in pleasure for the whole day.
Tianyi sighed as he left the estate, perhaps he would be able to search for some clues as to where he was or a method to escape.
But soon he discovered that after a certain distance, no matter what he tried he could never go past that point. Tianyi tried the opposite direction but the results were the same.
Based on the distance and the center, Tianyi discovered that it was the distance of a Core Formation realm cultivator’s spiritual sense and that the center was his other self.
“So this realm has something to do with the other me?” Tianyi really didn’t want to follow the asshole that was the other self. But left with no choice he decided to shadow his other self. Only leaving when he began to pa pa pa again.
After several days of observation, Tianyi discovered that his other self was a silkpants among silkpants!
He made the other silkpants look responsible!
Very soon Tianyi discovered that not only were their looks and personality vastly different, but their names as well.
Tianyi had actually had the exact same face as his other half, except for his eyes that were inherited from Xi Mengfei. Those eyes that he inherited were too outstanding although his other features were actually very handsome, they were ignored because of his eyes.
The name of Tianyi’s other half was Xi Longyi.
“Longyi, Longyi,” Tianyi tested the name of his lips.” Is it Dragon’s Will?”
Tianyi immediately thought of the time when his mother informed him of the unique situation concerning his birth.
His original soul should have been the Dragon Emperor’s soul piece that developed into an infant’s soul with him becoming a Dragon Emperor’s clone. If he hadn’t transmigrated from Earth into this body, would the original child of Xi Mengfei have been like Xi Longyi?
As expected of the Dragon Emperor’s clone, the legend of his licentiousness is not without reason.
Just as quickly as guilt came to Tianyi for him to take an innocent child’s place and soul, it disappeared once he saw how Xi Longyi turned out to be.
Truth be told, if Tianyi wasn’t able to interact with the world around him right now he would have long beaten up Xi Longyi. His actions were just too terrible and lacking tact. He took what he wanted without concern of the consequences and used his status as Grand Elder Xi’s son for everything.
His relationships with his fellow disciples and the Elders was also terrible. Tianyi noticed that although he wasn’t exactly Mr. popular on Jade Peak, the Elders would occasionally speak to him and converse with him.
But with Xi Longyi, the Elders directly ignored him or took a different route once they saw him. The only contact Xi Longyi had with an Elder was with him initiating contact. And then it was just him bullying the Elders for benefits without reimbursing them at all.
Can he be anymore shameless?
Once again it must be said that Tianyi wanted to punch Xi Longyi to hell. And he did punch him, just that there was never any results.
He even spat blood several times from the ridiculous actions that Xi Longyi had done.
Openly kidnapping Outer Sect disciples and making them his maids. Xi Longyi’s maids were also frequently swapped, not even the four beauties Tianyi saw at the beginning were safe.
In spite of all this, the women who were abandoned by Xi Longyi all schemed to return to his side. It was said that men were best at forgetting the good of a woman while a woman was good at remembering the good of a man.
When Xi Longyi pampered a woman, he devoted all his energy towards it. But when he got bored of the old and sought the new, he heartlessly cast aside the old.
Many women fell under Xi Longyi’s honeyed words.
Despite Xi Longyi’s brutish characters, he was very skilled in cultivation. He advanced in leaps and bounds. He had the Heavenly Lightning Spiritual Veins but his talent in martial cultivation was better and he was always a step ahead in his martial cultivation.
Before he was thirty, Xi Longyi had already reached the Nascent Soul realm.
Although more than a decade had passed, it felt like mere moments to Tianyi even though he had experienced everything in full detail. Rather than watching a movie, it was more akin to a dream where everything occurred in an instant.
In addition along with Xi Longyi’s rising cultivation, Tianyi felt his understanding of the martial and spiritual cultivation method deepen.
But what made Tianyi confused was that in all these years, Tianyi had yet to see his mother, Xi Mengfei, even once.
In other words Xi Longyi hasn’t yet to see his mother even once in all these years, despite this Xi Longyi still using his status as a Grand Elder’s son with no worries.
When Xi Longyi reached the Core Formation realm, he had already left the sect to temper himself several times. Although Tianyi didn’t want to admit it, Xi Longyi’s adventures gave him many benefits. Especially towards the ruthlessness of other cultivators.
When Xi Longyi left the sect again, Tianyi thought this adventure would be no different. He would offend someone, they would get into a fight, and Xi Longyi would slaughter those that he offended, or in his eyes, offended him.
Maybe he would stumble upon a secret realm, go inside and slaughter all the participants inside if possible and then leave with the inheritance.
Tianyi had already long stopped letting his emotions be affected by Xi Longyi’s action and just treated this as a dream of a possible branching future. Otherwise he would have long puked all of his blood out and then some.
But he did memorize some of the more outstanding inheritances and their locations. Should he remember this dream, he would be able go out and take them for himself if this dream was actually a vision of a possible future.
But Xi Longyi met a person with the exact same face as himself, but he wasn’t surprised in any way. Much to Tianyi’s own surprise.
Unlike Xi Longyi’s previous bold and flashy style, he quietly assassinated the person with the exact same face as his.
“This…he didn’t show any surprise and directly killed another Dragon Emperor’s clone.” Tianyi muttered. “Is this the normal process that all Dragon Emperor clones act once they see one another? I thought there would be more confusion.”
From then on every once in a while Xi Longyi would meet other Dragon Emperor clones and without fail he would kill them. But several times, when another Dragon Emperor clone saw Xi Longyi they would react with great surprise, but before they could settle their abnormal emotions from meeting another person with the same face, Xi Longyi would kill them.
This allowed Tianyi to realize that Xi Longyi was different from the other Dragon Emperor clones.
Perhaps because Xi Longyi was created from the soul fragment that had somehow clung onto Xi Mengfei when the Dragon Emperor self detonated, he retained awareness of his situation. Tianyi didn’t know to what extent Xi Longyi was aware of his situation, but Tianyi was clear that Xi Longyi had at least some memories of the Dragon Emperor.
There was no other explanation for how quickly Xi Longyi cultivated as if he had no bottlenecks or how he explicitly knew some secrets. It was like he had done all this before.
With the more and more frequent appearances of Dragon Emperor clones, Tianyi began to pay less attention to each one. It was not like he had any interest in assembling the Dragon Emperor’s clone fragments.
Who knows whether he would be able to take the Dragon Emperor’s power for himself or he would be possessed by the Dragon Emperor. Besides he had already decided that he would abandon the Dragon Emperor Fist.
But one particular Dragon Emperor clone had escaped from Xi Longyi’s grasp.
Xi Longyi had snuck into the Dragon Emperor clone’s clan compound. It was a rather affluent clan for its surrounding, with several Nascent Soul realm experts. But for Xu Longyi, normal Nascent Soul Elders like them were simply fish on the chopping board.
Perhaps it was just bad luck that he missed the Dragon Emperor clone and was instead discovered by the elder of the clan.
Xi Longyi, seeing that his presence was discovered, no longer cared about hiding and unleashed his full strength after sealing the whole compound inside a formation to protect his action from prying eyes.
The Nascent Soul Elders of the clan were no match for Xi Longyi and they fell one by one under Xi Longyi’s hands.
After getting rid of the Nascent Soul Elders, Xi Longyi didn’t bother sneaking around anymore and started slaughtering everyone in the clan compound, but the Dragon Emperor’s clone was nowhere to be found.
In his rage Xi Longyi leveled the clan compound into the ground before leaving. There was nothing left but rubble.
Tianyi was greatly shocked when Xi Longyi left.
But Tianyi’s shock wasn’t from Xi Longyi’s action of killing everyone there, even the children and infants. He understood of cutting the grass at the roots to prevent future trouble, but Tianyi didn’t feel that he would be able to take such a cruel action. Plus this wasn’t the first time Xi Longyi massacred a whole clan.
His shock came from when he learned of the clan’s name. It was the Lei Clan.
Suddenly a strange hypothesis occurred to Tianyi. He could only wait until he was able to verify his hypothesis.
But before Tianyi could meet that escaped Dragon Emperor clone, he was shocked once more.
Because he met his junior sister, Jiang Daoyi.
She was a loose cultivator, Tianyi could probably guess that she had run away from the Duke Qi estate with hope of escaping from there
Although her personality was different from the Daoyi in Tianyi’s memories, her face was exactly the same.
The Daoyi of this world had an aura of demurity and coupled with her extremely beautiful features, it made one want to protect her and hide her from all harm. It was extremely alluring to a man’s protective instinct.
But Xi Longyi, this rough and savage person, didn’t take notice of her because of Daoyi’s looks but rather he had discovered her Heavenly Water Spiritual Vein.
Tianyi tightened his grips until his nails pierced his palm and his knuckle whitened. Tianyi could already guess why Xi Longyi kidnapped her.
Yes, kidnapped. Xi Longyi had attempted to manipulate her to leave with him with words of love and even promises of riches but Daoyi refused. With Xi Longyi’s personality, how could he accept being rejected?
And it was by a woman, Xi Longyi had a very low opinion on the opposite sex. He treated them like clothes to be worn and discarded. When he was interested, he would raise her to the heavens. But when he lost interest, women weren’t even worth even lifting a finger or a single word.
In other words, the worst.
But the most surprising part was that Lei Jingye appeared.
“XI LONGYI, YOU SCOUNDREL!!!” Lei Jingye had none of the confident and valiant features from Tianyi’s memories, but rather his spirits seemed rather fragile and low.
But the murderous looks in his eyes couldn’t be hidden, his eyes even held a devilish gleam in them.
“Xi Longyi, if you return Dao’er to me I won’t quibble about you murdering my clan. I can even spare your life!”
At those words, Xi Longyi laughed like it was the funniest joke.
“Originally I was going to let you live a bit longer, but since you showed yourself to me then I’ll reap your life!”
With those words, a golden saber with a dragon carved hilt appeared in Xi Longyi’s hand as he slashed out towards Lei Jingye.
