ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

"R-right away, my lord!" Xiao Tiannan stammered, crawling to his feet. He hurried to the treasury along with the other elders, their faces pale with fear and desperation.

The only one left was the father, holding his son's motionless body. His head hung low, and his eyes were empty. It was unclear whether Wuji's words had affected him or if he had realized the vast gap in their strength and succumbed to despair.

Yun Wuji cast a brief, dismissive glance at him before looking away.

In this world, absolute power is the only truth! That's why everyone is desperately striving for higher realms.

If one is strong enough, one can change anything—even common sense. They could redefine beauty standards, make what is considered ugly the new ideal, or completely alter gender roles, they can even make their fart something sacred.

This can be seen in the Illusory Demon Realm, where incest is normal. The Royal Family marries their siblings.

Another example is how Yun Che changed people's perception of darkness profound energy.

A perception that had lasted for over a million years!

A few minutes later.

"My lords, this is everything we have in our treasury," Xiao Tiannan said, returning with multiple storage rings. He knelt down and raised his hand above his head, presenting the rings to the figure floating in the sky.

The rings floated from his hand and landed in front of Yun Wuji. He picked one up and inspected it.

"Poor bastard!" The rings didn't have much value for him. 

When Xiao Tiannan and the other elders heard this, their bodies trembled.

"Sigh, what can you expect from a branch of a tiny sect." He checked the other rings, but he was disappointed. All their items were too low in quality for someone of his standing; they held no value to him.

In fact, he already knew it was unlikely to get anything valuable from these worms. The real reason he offered his protection services was to punish them.

With a wave of his hand, he kept the rings.

"Hmph! I'll forgive you this time," he said, turning around. He gently placed his hand on Chu Yuechan's waist and stepped into the space crack, leaving behind a warning: "Next time, I won't be so merciful."

"Cripple his cultivation and lock him in the underground prison!" After Yun Wuji and Chu Yuechan departed, Xiao Tiannan stood motionless for a moment. He stood up and then turned to face the father of Xiao Kang, his eyes burning with intense fury and his rage barely contained. He barked out his command, seething with anger. This reckless fool had come dangerously close to destroying their entire sect!

"Luckily, they only wanted materials from the treasury," he sighed in relief. It was fortunate they hadn't wiped them out in a fit of anger.

If it had been him, and someone had provoked him, he would have annihilated their entire family.

He looked around, his heart was bleeding! Although no one had died, the sect was nearly destroyed. It was all because of that fool—if he hadn't provoked that man, they would have at most lost their treasury. Now, they faced the with the task of rebuilding the sect from scratch. The thought of it only fueled his hatred for the elder even more.

With another heavy sigh, he began to give orders to his subordinates.

Yun Wuji and Chu Yuechan returned to the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range.

"We wasted so much time, quickly start making the burgers!" The moment they returned Yuechan urged Wuji began to prepare the burgers.

"Alright, I'll make my Little Fairy her burgers," Wuji said, giving her a quick kiss before turning around to gather the cooking tools.

"Hmm~" Yuechan touched her lips, her gaze softening as she watched Wuji's back, her eyes drifting into a distant, dreamy expression.

The next day, they left the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range. Yun Wuji hesitated between heading to Floating Cloud City or the Wasteland of Death.

Floating Cloud City was very close, only needed one or two teleportations to reach. However, he chose to acquire the Dragon God Legacy in the Wasteland of Death before heading to Floating Cloud City.

Chu Yuechan didn't have any particular opinion; she was content as long as she was with him and had delicious food to eat.

The Wasteland of Death sprawls over 950 kilometers long and 800 kilometers wide, covered in dry, withered grass and rugged terrain. It's known as one of the Blue Wind Empire's top three danger zones, filled with wild and fierce profound beasts, far outnumbering those in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. It's a haven for beasts and a nightmare for practitioners.

Yuechan stood at the edge of the wasteland and asked, "Is there another inheritance in this place?" She was sharp; after discovering the inheritance in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, she immediately suspected there might be another one here.

Why else would they bother coming into such a place?

"Yes, the Primordial Azure Dragon, Dragon God's Legacy is right here," Yun Wuji nodded.

"Dragon God! Is this inheritance stronger than the phoenix?" Yuechan asked, her voice filled with awe. Even though she was prepared, she was still shocked.

"Yes, the Dragon God is the most powerful of the gods beneath the Creator Gods. He is also the leader of the various Divine Beasts," Yun Wuji explained, giving her more details about the inheritance.

"It's at the center of this land. Let's go." He held her waist, and in an instant, they teleported to the central area of the wasteland.

The space trembled as Yun Wuji and Little Fairy appeared near a low mountain. Wuji sensed a draconic aura nearby, meaning that the inheritance was very close.

"Be careful!" As soon as they arrived, two enormous silver shadows emerged from the low hill. The shadows charged toward them like lightning, each as large as a house. The beasts' ferocious mouths, lined with terrifying teeth, gaped wide as they rushed forward. The sudden attack made Yuechan let out a startled cry.

"Don't worry, I'm here," Wuji reassured her with a gentle pat on her waist.

"Dragons?" When they were close she saw two silver dragons.

She saw two massive silver dragons, each over a hundred meters long, rushing toward them aggressively. Their scales glinted coldly, and their imposing presence seemed to trap them in place.

"Die, human!" As the dragons closed in, they were suddenly overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of danger.

A fear they had never experienced suddenly gripped them, causing them to freeze.

The instinct of the dragons drove them to make a defensive response subconsciously.

But when they raised their claws, they found that their bodies were inexplicably unable to move as if invisible shackles were binding them.

"What is going on?!" the female dragon shouted, struggling to move.

"Shouldn't dragons disdain such petty tactics like sneak attacks?" Yun Wuji smiled slightly, looking at the dragon trapped in his space shackles.

"Human, it's your doing! This petty trick won't work on us!" The male dragon glared at Yun Wuji.

"..." Wuji and Yuechan.

"..." The male dragon gathered all its strength to break free but it couldn't even move.

"Despicable human! We will never let you have the Dragon God's treasure!" The female dragon glared at them, desperately trying to break free.

"..." After a few more attempts, they both finally ceased their struggles.

They were breathing heavily, their earlier bravado now leaving them red-faced and uneasy. The bold words they had spoken earlier seemed to echo mockingly in their minds, heightening their sense of embarrassment.

"Stupid overgrown snakes," Yun Wuji shook his head and turned to Yuechan. "How about we play a game?"

"A game?" she asked, intrigued.

"Wouldn't you like to test your new strength?" he suggested. "If you can defeat one of these dragons in five minutes, I'll make you any type of food you want for the whole day."

"Really?!" She looked at him with joy but then had another idea. "Then what if I defeat one of them in two minutes? What will my reward be?"

"Hmmm, I don't know," he replied, shaking his head. "What do you want?"

"In addition to making all the food I want, I want you to also give me head pats and kisses for a whole day," she said, pinching her chin thoughtfully. "And cuddles—lots of cuddles too!"
