Of course, this way of thinking is not wrong. As Yi Shuihan continues to grow stronger, it is not impossible for him to have the ability to completely eliminate the mark.

Ultimately, it's because Yi Shuihan's current strength is insufficient to directly confront a Great Dao Emperor; otherwise, why would he need to be so cautious?

The matter of the branding was almost resolved, but the Poison Heart Emperor was not yet in place. Yi Shuihan was in a weak state, so even if he cultivated, he would not make any progress. He could only do other things.

So Yi Shuihan went into his personal world to relax, spending a carefree life with his family there.

By the way, with Yi Shuihan's help, all of his wives are now at the True Saint level, and not just ordinary True Saints. Most of them are at the Quasi-Emperor level, and who knows, one of them might become a Chaos Emperor someday.

With Yi Shuihan's current status, he could turn even a pig into a True Saint. However, he is powerless to help anyone reach the level of Chaos Emperor. Even his master, the Creation Emperor who ranks among the top five in all the heavens and myriad realms, can only slightly guide his disciples in their breakthroughs. He dares not say that he can definitely help them break through to the level of Chaos Emperor.

After a century of carefree living in his personal world, Poison Heart Emperor's items were finally in place, and Yi Shuihan used them to begin his operation.

To be honest, being in a weak state is very unpleasant. Although even in a weak state, Yi Shuihan is still far stronger than ordinary cultivators, he always feels like something is missing and he doesn't feel right.

"I've finally fully recovered. If that incident hadn't happened, I might be a Dao Creation Realm expert by now."

Having regained his peak condition and seeing that most of the remaining ones were gone, Yi Shuihan was in a pretty good mood.

To celebrate, Yi Shuihan went to the most luxurious shop in Chaos City to have some fun and relax.

……

"Shopkeeper, give me another 10 bottles of Forget-Me-Not Wine."

The voice sounded slightly drunk, and following the sound, one could see a very beautiful mature woman. She occupied a large table all by herself, which was already covered with bottles of liquor, leaving almost no space. There were even quite a few bottles on the floor next to her.

Forget-Me-Not Wine is no cheap stuff. Ordinary True Saints would get drunk after a few cups, and even Chaos Emperors would get drunk if they drank too much.

So it's obvious that someone who hasn't gotten completely drunk after drinking so much Forget-Me-Not Wine must be a Chaos Emperor-level expert, which is why no one bothers him while he occupies a table.

"It's actually her?"

Yi Shuihan, who had just entered the store, immediately recognized the beautiful woman as the Ghost Mother Queen, whom he had parted ways with in Chaos City.

"I wonder what happened to her that made her need to drown her sorrows in alcohol?"

Yi Shuihan's first thought was that the Ghost Mother had encountered relationship problems, and this was the only possibility that fit reality. A woman might drown her sorrows in alcohol because of things like her future, and other issues are not a big deal.

So here's the question: Who was it that let down such a beautiful woman?

"The one who can match her is at least a Chaos Emperor. It is unlikely that he is at the Dao Seeking Realm. He is more likely to be at the Dao Enlightenment Realm or a Dao Creation Realm expert. The possibility of him being a Dao Creation Realm expert is even greater. After all, there are very few women who have cultivated to the point of Dao Creation. It is very much in line with the current standards for a Dao Creation man and an Dao Enlightenment woman to become Dao partners."

While wondering who was so heartless as to abandon the Ghost Mother, Yi Shuihan moved his body away from her. He didn't want to be discovered by the Ghost Mother, and he didn't want to take on the task of comforting her. Drowning his sorrows in alcohol was actually a good idea.

"Yi Shuihan, come and drink with me."

It was too late after all. The Ghost Mother noticed Yi Shuihan first and then called him over without any politeness.

"Um, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Yi Shuihan."

"You can't fool me. You are Yi Shuihan, Ye Dongsheng's junior brother. Ye Dongsheng bullied me, and you bullied me too. Neither of you are a good person."

Something's fishy!

The sentence contained a lot of information. Yi Shuihan, who originally planned to forcibly escape, changed his mind, walked to the table where the Ghost Mother was, and naturally sat down next to her.

"So it's you, Ghost Mother! What happened that you're drowning your sorrows in alcohol? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help!"

"Fine! If you want to help, go and capture your senior brother Ye Dongsheng for me, and let me kill him. Go on, go on!"

"..."

Staring blankly at the Ghost Mother, Yi Shuihan further confirmed that the other protagonist in the matter was Ye Dongsheng, and the fire of gossip in his heart burned fiercely.

Chapter 1421, Inside Story

Seeing that Yi Shuihan did not respond for a long time, the Ghost Mother withdrew from her excited state and looked bored.

"Hey, let's talk this out. Don't resort to violence all the time. What did your senior brother do to you that made you so angry? Tell me in detail! If he's really in the wrong, I'll definitely help you, and I'll help you condemn him."

"Glug... Glug..."

The Ghost Mother picked up a bottle of Forget-Me-Not Wine, tilted her head back, and started drinking. She finished the entire bottle in one go, then casually tossed it on the ground with a clinking sound.

At this moment, the blush on the Ghost Mother's face deepened, and her eyes became incredibly hazy. She suddenly hooked one arm around Yi Shuihan's shoulder and leaned her head closer.

The rich aroma of wine wafted over immediately, giving a pleasantly tipsy feeling.

Resting her head on Yi Shuihan's shoulder, the Ghost Mother murmured, "That despicable guy Ye Dongsheng, he did that to me! He promised to marry me the moment we were intimate, but the next day he turned on me, kicked me out, and told me not to look for him for the time being. He's a scumbag, deceiving my feelings and playing with me. Men are all the same, all sweet talk. They're so nice to you before they get what they want, but once they do, they show their true colors and start to look down on you, always looking for something new..."

Yi Shuihan was shocked. He never expected Ye Dongsheng to be such a scumbag, so heartless!

Thinking about his past with Ye Dongsheng, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but believe that Ye Dongsheng was that kind of person. However, Gui Mu didn't seem to be lying, since it was too easy to verify. He could find out the answer simply by asking.

In Yi Shuihan's opinion, the Ghost Mother was still able to keep up with his senior brother. The fact that she came here to drown her sorrows after being abandoned by her senior brother meant that the Ghost Mother had genuine feelings for him. As for the idea that the Ghost Mother was deliberately putting on an act for him, that was completely impossible, because he didn't even know he would be here today.

The Ghost Mother Queen seemed to really want to confide in someone. Once she started talking, she couldn't stop and talked for almost an hour before finally drifting off to sleep.

Because of the complicated relationship between the Ghost Mother Queen and his senior brother, Yi Shuihan definitely couldn't just leave the Ghost Mother Queen here. It would be best if he ordered takeout and had some good food and drinks delivered to the company branch so he could take the Ghost Mother Queen back first.

After settling the Ghost Mother into the room, Yi Shuihan contacted his senior brother to confirm something.

The method of contact is very simple; it is too easy for the clone in the Creation World to ask directly.

The Creation of the World

Taiyi, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. He was startled at first, and then showed a helpless expression.

"I really enjoy tormenting people; I have to ask about something like this."

While muttering this to himself, Taiyi's face was full of excitement.

Taiyi didn't actually know about the Ghost Mother and Ye Dongsheng, because he had been in seclusion recently. Otherwise, he could have told Yi Shuihan the answer directly.

In less than ten minutes, Taiyi arrived in front of Ye Dongsheng, who was very welcoming of Taiyi's arrival.

"Junior brother, what brings you here today? Please have a seat. What's on your mind?"

Taiyi is Yishuihan's clone, which is equivalent to Yishuihan. It's perfectly reasonable for Ye Dongsheng to call him his junior brother.

"To be honest, senior brother, I'm here on behalf of the main body to ask some questions."

"What is it? Tell me."

"It's like this, today I happened to run into the Ghost Mother Queen. At the time, the Ghost Mother Queen was drowning her sorrows in alcohol, and then..."

Taiyi briefly explained the matter.

“I already know what you want to ask.” Ye Dongsheng was silent for a moment. “What she said is all true.”

Despite having anticipated this outcome, Taiyi was still extremely shocked, staring at Ye Dongsheng in disbelief.

"Senior brother, you must have your reasons, right?"

"A difficult situation? Yes, I do have a difficult situation." Ye Dongsheng's expression was very complicated. "Actually, I love her and want to be with her, but I discovered something, so I have to separate from her temporarily."

"What's going on?"

"The Ghost Mother is being controlled, but she doesn't even know it. The method of control is terrifying; it's the enslavement of the soul. Normally, it's nothing, but once she sees the real person, she will lose control of herself. At that point, she will no longer be herself. I could have told her, but I didn't in the end. I was afraid. I was afraid that she was deliberately manipulated to come here, wanting to dismantle the Creation World from within. This is my home! I absolutely will not allow anyone to destroy it."

"Can't even Senior Brother break free from that control? If that doesn't work, isn't there still Master?"

“I really can’t do anything about that kind of control method. It was by chance that I discovered it. At that time, I was in a spiritual and physical union with the Ghost Mother and I just happened to discover this secret. My plan was to ask my master for help, but recently my master has been unable to get away from there, so I asked the Ghost Mother to leave temporarily and wait until my master comes back.”

Ye Dongsheng revealed his plan. It wasn't that he didn't love the Ghost Mother, but that he also loved his sect, so in the end, he had to make the Ghost Mother suffer.

"I see. Don't worry, senior brother! Everything will be alright."

Taiyi is unaware of the branding incident because Yi Shuihan did not tell him about it; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't be so relaxed right now.

Yi Shuihan can easily remove the mark himself because of his special abilities and the system. The Ghost Mother is completely different. To completely remove the Ghost Mother's mark, he needs her full cooperation and her soul to open. Even if this condition is met, the effect will be greatly reduced because it is an external force.

Furthermore, helping the Ghost Mother remove the brand would certainly not be hidden from the Poison Heart Emperor, because the Ghost Mother could not have achieved the Dao in such a short time as he could. Once the Ghost Mother's brand was removed, the Poison Heart Emperor would definitely not let it go.

"Senior brother has really given me a tough challenge!"

Yi Shuihan gave a wry smile after receiving the message from Taiyi.

Helping the Ghost Mother is definitely something we should do, but we need to come up with a good way to do it.

Ye Dongsheng's concerns were not without merit. If the Poison Heart Emperor were to truly create the world's attention by relying on the Ghost Mother's mark, the world would certainly be in some danger.

"For now, we can only wait and see how things develop. We need to find a way to keep the Ghost Mother here. Once we discover that she is being controlled, we will have to risk removing her mark. As for the rest, becoming stronger quickly and becoming a Great Dao Emperor is the most important thing."

Chapter 1422, Moving Towards the Path of Creation

"The Yi River is cold!"

The piercing screams, accompanied by waves of terrifying sound, instantly turned the room into a chaotic mess.

When the Ghost Mother Queen regained consciousness and realized her surroundings, her first reaction was to roar at Yi Shuihan's name.

The sound was so loud that it could be heard for several kilometers around, and many employees in the company's branches heard it.

"Hiss, who is this, with such audacity?"

"I saw Lord Yi Shuihan carrying a beautiful woman back yesterday. Could it be that he tried to force himself on her but was resisted?"

"Shut up, all of you. This is no time for you to discuss adult matters. Pretend you didn't hear anything."

"Where did that sound come from? I must have just imagined it. Hmm, I'm tired from work, and my ears are acting up."

Despite saying that, many employees still looked toward the source of the sound from time to time.

Yi Shuihan naturally knew about such a commotion. He wasn't far away, and he rushed over as soon as the Ghost Mother called his name.

Upon seeing the rickety door and the chaotic scene inside, Yi Shuihan paused slightly before pushing the door open and entering.

Their eyes met, and they remained silent, the silence almost frightening.

"Did you bring me here?"

Perhaps because she had just sobered up from being drunk, the ghost mother's voice had not fully returned to normal and sounded slightly hoarse.

"Obviously, after all, you are my sister-in-law, I can't just leave you there, can I?"

Yi Shuihan keenly observed that when he uttered the title "Master's Sister-in-law," the Ghost Mother's gaze softened for a moment.

Feelings are hard to explain. Even if the Ghost Mother Queen outwardly shows hatred for Ye Dongsheng, deep down she actually hopes that Ye Dongsheng can change his mind. She believes that as long as Ye Dongsheng softens his stance even slightly, this woman will immediately become a docile and dependent woman.

"Forget what I told you before, and don't tell him either."

"Huh? Did you say anything to me?"

"Don't play dumb, you know what I'm talking about."

"But I've already told my senior brother."

Instantly, the Ghost Mother's expression changed drastically, and her aura surged forth. The room was swept by another storm, leaving it in a mess, though naturally, it wasn't in much better shape.

It seemed the joke had gone a bit too far. Seeing the increasingly dangerous look in the Ghost Mother Queen's eyes, Yi Shuihan quickly made a stop gesture. "Alright, alright, I was just joking, just trying to ease the tension."

"I hope you're telling the truth, otherwise..."

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but the threat was already clearly conveyed.

"Based on my understanding of my senior brother, he is definitely not the kind of person who starts something and then abandons it. There must be some hidden reason. Why don't you wait and let me ask him first?"

Although he already knew the cause and effect, Yi Shuihan still pretended not to know. After all, even if the Ghost Mother knew about the brand, it would be of no use and might even have the opposite effect.

Faced with Yi Shuihan's suggestion, the Ghost Mother was naturally very willing, but on the surface she turned her head away and snorted coldly, "I don't want to know anything about him now. What does he take me for? Someone he can just summon and dismiss at will? Even if he kneels down and begs me, I will not forgive him. However, I have recently had some insights, so I might as well go into seclusion here for a while. You won't object, will you?"

Arrogant, absolutely arrogant. It would be strange if Yi Shuihan couldn't see through such a low-level arrogance.

"No problem, you can stay here as long as you want, anyway, I have plenty of space here." Seeing through her intentions but not saying anything, Yi Shuihan responded with great skill.

So the Ghost Mother stayed at the company branch. She didn't go into seclusion as she said she would, but instead appeared by Yi Shuihan's side every now and then, pretending to bump into him by chance, but actually wanting to know whether Yi Shuihan had asked or not.

Yi Shuihan's purpose was to keep the Ghost Mother away temporarily, so naturally he wouldn't tell the Ghost Mother what she wanted to know, since the Ghost Mother hadn't asked.

The Ghost Mother Queen could be said to have made Yi Shuihan grit his teeth in hatred, but he was too proud to ask, so they remained deadlocked.

Yi Shuihan, who was already on the verge of a breakthrough, soon had an epiphany and entered the secret chamber again. This time, he was determined to break through to the Creation Dao in one fell swoop.

From enlightenment to creation, the most crucial thing is that one's own Dao can be recognized by the collective will of the entire universe, and then the Dao seed can "bloom".

The former requires that the Dao you create is powerful enough and beneficial to all the heavens and myriad worlds. The greater the benefit to all the heavens and myriad worlds, the easier it is to gain recognition. If it is some kind of garbage Dao, such as the Dao of temperature change, it will be extremely difficult to gain recognition. Of course, if you have studied the Dao of temperature in enough depth, it is not impossible to gain recognition.

After completing the first step, Yi Shuihan needs to manifest his own Dao and let the Dao seed blossom. This step will severely test Yi Shuihan's own qualities, the depth of his understanding of his own Dao, and whether his body, soul, and other aspects of strength can support it.

The seed was planted when he achieved enlightenment; now, Yi Shuihan needs to completely transform the seed and make it blossom.

Of course, the seeds and flowering mentioned here are just metaphors and do not refer to actual flowering.

Yi Shuihan comprehended the Dao, which extended from the Dao of Time. The potential of this Dao was much greater than that of other ordinary Daos, so the first step went very smoothly. He passed it in just three days and gained the approval of the myriad evils of the heavens.

The insights into the Dao accumulated over millions of years constantly resonate in my heart, transforming into nourishment to continuously nurture the seed of the Dao, allowing it to grow continuously.
