Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 533 - 452: Master of the Taixu? Master of the Taixu!

"Wow, Hanyan, I can’t believe how much you’ve grown in a few years."

Upon seeing the daughter he had been longing for, Star River Celestial Monarch happily went over.

The two pink-haired girls stood together. Although they wore different clothes and had only about five similarities in appearance, in terms of ’aura resemblance,’ they had over 90% similarity.

Anyone could tell at a glance that they were mother and daughter.

"I remember when I left, you were only up to here. I didn’t expect you would be almost as tall as me now."

Star River Celestial Monarch gestured in front of her chest and then gently stroked the smooth long hair of the pink-haired girl, her tone filled with the joy of seeing her daughter grow up.

Qi Hanyan seemed unafraid of strangers and happily hugged her biological mother, seizing the moment when her other mom wasn’t paying attention, she whispered:

"Mom, I’ve secretly prepared a game console for you."

"When mom’s not around, sneak over to me. There are a lot of fun games recently, my rank is really high, and I’ll definitely carry you to victory."

Star River Celestial Monarch’s body trembled, and her eyes immediately showed a touched expression.

This... this is indeed my daughter! My little padded jacket!

Unlike someone, who only knows how to bully me every day and force me to learn those Daoist Techniques. I’ve been practicing for over three hundred years, can’t I take some enjoyment?

"Definitely!"

Star River Celestial Monarch nodded firmly, like a secret agent receiving an important mission from an organization.

"But even if mom is not around, we still have to be careful of Su Yuan. If he catches us, I’ll be in for a beating."

Qi Hanyan cautiously glanced at Su Yuan and found him not paying attention before lowering her voice.

Star River Celestial Monarch: "..."

Such a familiar sense of déjà vu.

So you’re also controlled by someone named Su?

Confirmed, she’s definitely my biological child! Two generations neatly fell into the hands of the Su family!

Should this be called a coincidence, or destiny?

Watching the two pink-haired girls embrace each other, Su Yuan on the side pretended not to hear anything, but the veins on his forehead were slightly throbbing, forming a pound sign.

Hey, hey! Don’t forget, this place is already under my Primordial Dao control. None of your words or actions can escape my surveillance!

Especially this girl Qi Hanyan, daring to secretly plan against me and even intending to hide from me to continue gaming, seems like the last lesson wasn’t harsh enough.

Hmph! Don’t think that just because you have a mother at the Divinity Transformation stage as your backing, I won’t dare to touch you.

Once I catch you, I’ll summon your other mom over, and let you experience what it’s called a combined double beating!

After murmuring with Qi Hanyan for quite a while, Star River Celestial Monarch finally turned her eyes to the blue-haired girl standing quietly on the side.

"Greetings, Senior Qi."

Chen Nuoyi politely bowed.

Star River Celestial Monarch waved her hand and said:

"Nuoyi, no need for such formality. Since you’re Youli’s disciple, by rights, I am your master’s wife. We’re family."

Chen Nuoyi: "..."

Master’s wife, huh? My teacher’s family relationships are really complicated.

For some reason, Chen Nuoyi couldn’t muster any respect for this legendary Star River Celestial Monarch... Probably because she looks too much like a certain pink-haired girl.

Just then, Star River Celestial Monarch spoke again, her tone gentle and cautious:

"Nuoyi, I am sorry we couldn’t find a way to save your mother, leading to her early demise... and all Youli and I can do is to treat you doubly well."

"If you can, you can think of Youli and me as your mothers. I will cherish you as much as I cherish Hanyan."

Star River Celestial Monarch’s tone was as soft as possible, as if she was afraid of touching the girl’s fragile and sensitive heart.

But Chen Nuoyi was apparently not as fragile as she thought and nodded lightly:

"Thank you, master’s wife."

The sparkle in the deep, brilliant eyes of the pink-haired woman instantly took on a slightly silly delight.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she said:

"Oh right, as your master’s wife, it’s only proper for me to give you a meeting gift on our first encounter."

"However, ordinary Heavenly and Earthly Treasures won’t show my sincerity, so I prepared an unconventional gift for you."

Chen Nuoyi was slightly taken aback: "A gift?"

Star River Celestial Monarch nodded and smiled faintly:

"I remember you acquired your legacy from the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable."

"While exploring the stars, I specifically kept an eye out and discovered some of his traces. If traced, these traces might lead to his real self."

"How about it, isn’t this gift pretty good?"

Looking at her master’s wife’s slightly proud expression, Chen Nuoyi’s eyes softened a bit.

About to say something, Su Yuan quickly chimed in ahead:

"I hope Senior Qi can definitely find time to take us to see the traces of Purple Gold Old Deng... ahem, Dragon Venerable, this is very important to Nuoyi and me."

He had long wanted to break into Old Deng’s pile of gold coins, and now that the opportunity was laid before Su Yuan, he was overjoyed.

"It seems you are both very satisfied with this gift, that’s good."

Star River Celestial Monarch let out a small sigh of relief.

Instantly, her ear twitched as if she heard something, and she said:

"But before that, we have to meet another old friend first."

Before the words were even finished, a figure materialized less than a hundred meters from the assembly, manifesting into form.

He appeared silently, rather than spectacularly.

If not for the reminder from Star River Celestial Monarch, perhaps none of those present, apart from Su Yuan, would even have noticed the person’s appearance.

Following Star River Celestial Monarch’s gaze, Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyan turned towards the newcomer, their faces instantly showing surprise.

Because the newcomer’s appearance was very peculiar, his face and body were constantly changing.

One moment, he was a handsome, gentle young man; the next, he transformed into a woman closely resembling the former but with softer facial lines, appearing graceful and sophisticated.

In another blink, he switched from female back to male, constantly cycling through this transformation.

It was like a game NPC with a bug, causing endless model changes.

This scene left the two young girls dumbfounded.

However, Wu Luo True Monarch and Star River Celestial Monarch were quite familiar with this spectacle.

The latter waved to the newcomer and said:

"Long time no see, Chu Jiang, you’re still the same old self. Can’t you settle on one gender?"

Celestial Monarch Taixu, also known as Chu Jiang to them, gave a light smile and said:

"Gender identity disorder, nothing I can do about it for now."

When he spoke, his voice changed with his appearance and gender, which was very strange, yet his tone was very gentle, seemingly a good-natured person.

Star River Celestial Monarch grunted a reply and didn’t dwell on it further.

She turned around and lowered her voice to speak to her daughter, disciple, and Su Yuan:

"Don’t discriminate against this fellow, there are reasons he’s like this."

"He’s the only one among the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs who, during the Spiritual Energy Recovery early stage, was captured by an evil Ancient Demon Cultivator for experimentation. He suffered a lot in the Demon Cave, which caused some issues with his personality and cultivation pathway."

The two girls nodded repeatedly.

"Hey, I can hear you."

Chu Jiang looked speechless, and the atmosphere became relaxed due to the friendly interaction between the two Divinity Transformation experts.

As those from the same era as the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs, Wu Luo True Monarch and Chu Jiang were naturally familiar with each other and well understood his personality.

Seeing him unchanged, a slight smile emerged on her face. She turned to look at Su Yuan for a final confirmation.

But seeing Su Yuan’s expression made Wu Luo True Monarch’s sense of ease vanish instantly!

Because, at this moment in Su Yuan’s eyes, there was only shock, as if he was seeing not a friend from his own camp but a bomb placed before him that could explode any time.

Chu Jiang has a problem?!

Wu Luo True Monarch’s mind churned, suddenly giving birth to such a speculation.

But in the next second, she realized it was not just that, or rather... not merely that.

If it was simply Chu Jiang being swapped, Su Yuan, who had been expecting something like this, wouldn’t be so taken aback, right?

"What on earth is happening?"

Wu Luo True Monarch unhesitatingly transmitted her query.

Hearing her question, Su Yuan barely gathered himself, his tone slightly bitter as he transmitted back:

"Celestial Monarch Taixu has been swapped, but it’s not just him being swapped."

"The moment he appeared, I instantly lost control over the surrounding area... This is an oppression of an upper-level Cultivator over a lower-level one in the same path."

"If I’m not mistaken, Celestial Monarch Taixu holds an entire branch of the Primordial Dao."

"This branch might not be on him but within the Ten Immortals City, yet without a doubt, he is the controller of that branch."

"He is the piece Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity placed on Blue Star Federation."
