AZI: Burial of a Selfish Lunatic

Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they? Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options. One, they can choose to pass away peacefully. Two, they can choose to spend the rest of their remaining life to find a solution that will let them live. Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.

AZI Volume 6 Chapter 51

"…"

Taking out his calabash, Long Hua takes a sip of wine.

That face formed of dark clouds—the remnant will of a powerful individual, had shielded Yao Ying from Qing Ming Yang, despite her being a practitioner, while the former should have long become a weapon spirit under normal circumstances.

That means to say, there is the possibility that the key treasures that can be obtained in this ruin aren't meant for weapon spirits.

And if Long Hua wants a share of these treasures—

(For the time being, having this little girl nearby is to my benefit. Giving her some benefits for this purpose… It's shameless, but anyone would do the same when there's resources to be had.)

"…?"

Tilting her head, Yao Ying is clearly confused by the sight of Long Hua addressing the air, to which, the latter returns his attention to her, and says—

"Little girl, I won't accept you as my disciple. But… Your performance today is at least commendable."

"…? Which part?"

"Your Dao oath to surnamed Qing. You've lifted a heavy stone off his chest that was caused by your maternal grandfather, which in turn caused him to swear a Dao oath to not harm you until you challenge him yourself."

"…"

Seeing Yao Ying still in a state of confusion, Long Hua adds—

"Meaning, you won't have to worry about him causing trouble for you when you get out of this world."

"…But I still need to appear in the Ling Yuan family's estate under everyone's eyes, and to do that...… The necropolis."

Time is clearly not on Yao Ying's side in this matter, and towards her concern, Long Hua says—

"I'll say it again. With your current temperament, you're unfit to be a practitioner. So long as you don't fix this, don't even think about escaping from this world."

"…"

Raising a frown, Yao Ying asks—

"…Is there a way to change that?"

"The fastest way to deal with this issue is to cultivate in the Tranquil Heart Incantation. At least then, you won't be trembling like you did when you offed surnamed Xia."

Within the dreamscape, the Tai Xuan Emperor widens her eyes, and remarks—

(My god, *-laoban, being a lone dog for life on your own wasn't enough, and now you're planning to make a young girl like her stay single forever? How much of a scum are you?)

"Tai Xuan Emperor, shut your whore mouth."

Returning his focus to Yao Ying, Long Hua asks—

"Your choice, you want that incantation or not?"

"I do."

Taking out a slip of paper and a pen, Long Hua begins to write the incantation down. While he is doing this, Yao Ying out of curiosity asks—

"Um, who is this Tai Xuan Emperor?"

"An old ghost that only I can see."

(Who are you calling an old ghost?!)

"I see…?"

Finished with writing the incantation, Long Hua pushes the paper towards Yao Ying, and says—

"Once you've memorized it, destroy that parchment."

Picking the parchment off the ground, and looking at the written contents briefly, Yao Ying asks—

"…Is there anything that you can give me?"

Ever since she had seen Long Hua's sword Qi, Yao Ying has always been rather interested in it.

And towards Yao Ying's anticipation-filled eyes, Long Hua answers—

"Little girl, don't treat cultivation methods and divine arts like candy. My advice to you—if I were in your situation, I would be putting my focus onto that incantation, instead of sleeping tonight."

"…Yes."

Taking this to mean that Long Hua didn't have anything else for her, Yao Ying depressingly nods her head.

Seating herself in lotus posture, Yao Ying begins to cultivate the Tranquil Heart Incantation.

(Ai, a good girl ruined just like that.)

"…"

Ignoring the Tai Xuan Emperor, and getting out of the tent, Long Hua looks up at the night skies with his calabash in hand.

Unlike the previous ruins, the night sky of this one isn't decorated with stars—making it a rather dull sight to behold.

"…"

"…"

To not draw practitioners to their campsite, the weapon spirits hadn't bothered to set up a fire.

At this time, Ye Chen, Shao Tianming, Wang Yongning, and Teng Hao are all seated in the empty area that is surrounded by tents.

"…"

Walking over, and taking out a stool, Long Hua seats himself, and turning to Shao Tianming, he asks—

"So, this ruin is also officially designated grade five, correct?"

"…"

Towards this question, Shao Tianming lowers his can of beer with a heavy sigh, and remarks—

"A humanoid face that replaces a humanoid projection, no stars at night—despite being a supposed grade five. …I give up on trying to rank the ruins of the outer domain with a grade."

"…"

With a bitter expression on his face, Wang Yongning adds—

"The ruins we brought the rights to in that first auction… It's a grade four…- For the time being. …Honestly, who knows when something like today might happen in it? Those projections, they tend to only appear the moment we enter the ruins, not sometime after entry."

"…"

"…"

As silence looms over the group for a moment, Ye Chen and Teng Hao exchange a glance between themselves, and—

"The grade of this ruin aside, I'm more curious as to why there's Immortals here…"

Towards Ye Chen's remark, Teng Hao replies—

"Colonel Ye, do you think we might have entered the Immortals' world, instead of a ruin?"

"…"

Taking a sip of wine out of his calabash, Long Hua dismisses this guess completely. However—

"Maybe."

"…That would make sense."

"Outside of the frontlines, this is the first time that I've seen so many Immortals in one place."

Not knowing the way that the Leng Bing Realm functions, the weapon spirits all had a solemn expression on their faces in response to Teng Hao's guess.
