--- Chapter 159 ---

A middle-aged man in futuristic-looking blue armor stood on the ragged building. His appearance is very ordinary, but he has this aura that makes one comfortable.

"Kid, your ability is much stronger than mine." He opened his mouth while gazing at the sky. 

"I only can make things bend and accelerate, but yours transcended that." 

"However, I have something you don't, kid!" A grin plastered his face.

"What is it?" A black-haired young man asked, grumbling in displeasure.

The man rested his hands on his hip and laughed to the sky, "Struggle!" 

"The blood-pumping adrenaline and overflowing emotion will make one's ability mature, and yours is no different. I believe one day you will become just like me..." 

"A Desperado!" 

...

Yu Long blinked his eyes and stared at Mu Naya. She has transformed from a sick-looking girl to a healthy young woman with a beauty that could destroy a city. Not in the literal sense, obviously. 

Mu Naya stood silently, blinking in a wide range of emotions. 

Shock, bewilderment, fear, and sadness. 

She covered her face and cried again, "Why did this happen to me so late? If I have this much power, I can prevent those who protected me from dying..." 

"Aah!" 

"Lady Su, console her. Medical Saint and I will wait outside." Yu Long said while grabbing Yun Gu by his collar. 

"W-Wait!" Yun Gu was 'forcibly' dragged by Yu Long out.

"What was that?" Asked the Medical Saint as soon as they walked out of the shed. 

Yu Long kept a poker face, "It's nothing. All that matters is that I've cured your patient, which fulfilled my part of the deal." 

"You need to fulfill yours now." 

The corner of Yun Gu's mouth twitched because Yu Long wouldn't answer his curiosity. Even though Yun Gu would check Mu Naya's situation later, he doubted he could find the reason behind her sudden transformation. 

It was magical and didn't look or feel related to anything recorded inside the Heavenly Medicine Manual(Miracle of Life).

'He hides something from me.' Yun Gu laughed wryly. 

He sighed and picked a green-colored sphere from his medicine bag. It was well-concealed, so a 'normal' profound probing won't find it. 

"Here." He handed the Sky Poison Pearl to Yu Long.

Yu Long grabbed the Sky Poison Pearl with his left hand and felt the connection with it.

A blinding green light appeared on his palm as the two Sky Poison Pearls merged into one again, creating the perfect heavenly profound treasure.

Jasmine and Ni Yeyue felt a jolt as the dimension they currently lived in expanded rapidly. The space stretched so much that Jasmine couldn't see the end of it. 

"So this is Sky Poison Pearl's dimension at its peak..." Jasmine mumbled in awe. "Amazing indeed." 

"Unfortunately, the Sky Poison Pearl's artifact spirit has perished." 

Heavenly Profound Treasures are famous in the Primal Chaos. Their appearance could cause a sensation.

Jasmine knew one of the Heavenly Profound Treasures, the Eternal Heaven Pearl, was known publicly in the Realm of Gods. It has a living artifact spirit, which could control the time-space inside the Eternal Heaven Pearl.

There is an event where geniuses of the upper realm competed against each other for the spots in the Eternal Heaven Pearl because it possessed unrivaled temporal power. One year outside is a thousand years inside the pearl's time-space!

Of course, this is not infinite. The downside of this ability is the massive consumption of energy. 

But compared to the Sky Poison Pearl, Jasmine doesn't think Eternal Heaven Pearl won by a lot. 

"The artifact spirit might die, but..." 

"Hehehe." 

"It won't take long for the Sky Poison Pearl to recover its toxicity. When the time comes, even a more powerful poison than the Absolute God-Slaying Poison will be born..." Jasmine couldn't wait to see the golden-haired bitch's face paled in fear.

Ni Yeyue didn't feel much change. She only felt the Sky Poison Pearl's dimension become more familiar but didn't think much of it. 

After that, Ni Yeyue went to sleep and left Jasmine alone in her sweet imagination.

Back to Yu Long, he explored Sky Poison Pearl's abilities with his mind. 

Infinite space storage has become much more solid.

As for the poison's generation, it was slowly recovering. 

Thanks to recovering Sky Poison Pearl to its complete form, Yu Long's Innate Karma also become stronger. Well, by a small margin, that is.

'It's better than nothing.' Yu Long thought to himself.

He stared at the sky, "It's going to be dark soon." 

"I will do you a favor and clean the area. The refugee camp shouldn't have a problem with profound beasts anymore." 

"I... I will thank you on the behalf of the refugees." Yun Gu couldn't help but smile at Yu Long's kindness. To think an indifferent young man like him has this kind of side is excellent. 

Yu Long waved his hand and ordered Muzan to do some slaughters. It's a proper time to harvest the essence of Azure Cloud Continent's profound beasts.

Desperado. Yu Long must get the end of it.

[Kaiju Maker] could evolve even further.

After a while, Su Meiling invited Yu Long inside.

"Sorry, Medical Saint. Mu Naya said she wanted a private time with Yu Long." Su Meiling rejected Yun Gu when he wanted to go inside as well.

'Why is the treatment so different? Is it because I'm an old man?' Yun Gu was speechless.

Su Meiling walked and guarded the door gingerly, "Don't be like that, Medical Saint. Mu Naya only wanted to say a few things to Yu Long. He saved her life, after all." 

'And I treated her for months.' Yun Gu sighed and ground some herbs instead.

Inside, Yu Long found Mu Naya on the edge of the bed. She also wore a blue dress, which was supposed to be Su Meiling's, as they appeared looser. It added a certain charm to her.

"T-Thank you." Mu Naya said while lowering her head.

"Thank you for curing my Devil's Roots Curse." 

Yu Long grabbed a poorly made wooden chair and sat, "It's nothing. The Medical Saint made a deal with me." 

"I see..." Mu Naya's eyes lit up in realization. 

"T-Then, what should I do?" 

"Revenge." Yu Long answered casually. 

"You watched your family die, no? Then, go and kill those profound beasts back." 

"But my strength... I'm only in the 3rd Stage of Spirit Profound Realm."

Yes, Desperado's Awakening won't significantly increase one's strength. It depends from person to person. 

In Mu Naya's case, she awakened a 'special' physique that made her cultivation speed skyrocket and naturally synchronize with the surrounding profound strength. 

She shouldn't have a problem cultivating high-tier profound arts.

Yu Long shook his head and said, "You can always train to become stronger. Don't give up before you even start." 

"Unless you wanted to waste my efforts a few minutes ago." 

Yu Long doesn't want the first Desperado, who underwent a complete awakening, to waste her talent. Not to mention, Mu Naya's worth for his research is plenty.

Mu Naya lowered her head.

"Hey, raise your head and look me in the eyes." Yu Long's cold voice echoed in the room.

Mu Naya instinctively raised her head and gazed at Yu Long's rich golden eyes. She was stunned because she hadn't noticed such a beautiful pair of eyes before. It is probably because of her trauma and anxiety.

"Say it." 

"Tell me what you desire..." 

"I want to become stronger!" Mu Naya shouted.

Yu Long smiled, "Becoming stronger it is. I will leave behind some profound arts, you decide which ones you want to cultivate yourself, and a spatial ring filled with resources." 

"Within a month, I want you to reach Sky Profound Realm and visit Grandwake Mountain. Go to the Thousand Weapons Association, and a woman named Ye Zhi will train you further." 

"Goodbye, I will see you in a month." Yu Long stood up and walked away.

Four books appeared on Mu Naya's lap, and a spatial ring appeared on her hand magically. 

Gulp!

Mu Naya swallowed her saliva because she felt like she was making a deal with the devil. Even then, she still bowed to the chair Yu Long sat on earlier in gratitude.

"Let's go, we don't have much time left." Yu Long said to Su Meiling when he walked out of the shed. 

Su Meiling nodded, and they flew away without saying a word to Yun Gu.

Yun Gu stroked his beard, "Aih, how heartless..." 

...

At the same time, a headless knight traversed over the dimension with his death steed and quickly approached the Blue Pole Star. Behind him is an army of headless creatures.

"Fran." A hoarse voice echoed.

"I will find you."

"You can run, but you can't hide..."
