Chapter: 104
🕑 Added 2023-05-24 17:12:07 +0000 UTC{Are you stupid? Do you have any idea what you are doing, Yun Che?} Jasmine's sudden panicked voice resounded within Yun Che's mind as he brought his hands containing fire and water laws closer to each other.
{Merging two opposing laws? I mean, come on, Jasmine, it's not like I am doing something like this for the first time.}
{... That and this are different. Even the Heretic God hasn't been able to merge two opposing elements together. Doing so is the same as committing suicide. It will result in you exploding from the inside.}
{Sheesh. Don't worry, I got this.}
His confidence was not coming from the fact that Yun Che was able to do it in the original; he wasn't stupid. His confidence was coming from the menu and its ability to transfer anything into a skill as long as he performed certain actions correctly.
"Crack..." Lightning cracked as Yun Che's hands appeared in close approximation to each other. The next second, the two elements collided.
Chaotic profound energy burst out with Yun Che as the center, destroying the area around him before one half of his side was frozen while the other turned into a living inferno, both fighting for supremacy over the other.
Sweat trickled down Yun Che's face as he realized how difficult it was to maintain both laws from exploding onto his face.
'Fuck... Why hasn't the Menu registered it yet? I am kinda getting nervous here, not gonna lie...'
A small vortex formed over Yun Che's hands, half blue and half red. In the next instant, the vortex suddenly constricted into a single point! After a small pause, a blue flame suddenly burst into existence over Yun Che's palm, causing a smirk to appear on his face.
[“Blue Flame” skill has been acquired!]
[“Blue Flame” skill level has been maxed!]
{You... You really did it!} Jasmine's astonished and unbelievable voice resounded within his mind. {Not only that... Why is it so stable? It's like you've already mastered it...}
'Of course I have... The Menu isn't called one of the broken systems for nothing. And the best part about it is that, unlike Yun Che, I can directly create Blue Flames now! Though the energy consumption is no joke... Despite it being a max skill, the energy consumption should have dropped, yet I can feel it taxing my energy pool... What an absurd skill.'
The fact that even teleportation did not take so much energy showed how broken and powerful this skill was.
In the original, Yun Che was able to kill the Sovereign Profound Realm cultivator despite being only in the Sky Profound Realm! That alone showed the absurdity of this skill! Especially in his hand now, where he can create the flame without any prior preparations!
"Fuu... I feel tired now... Guess I will retire for the day."
Standing up and dusting off his clothes, Yun Che left for his pavilion. He wanted to go and talk with Yufeng about her inheriting the position of the sword master within the Sacred Ground, but thinking about the recent events, he decided to let her digest her "new reality" first before talking about it.
"Either way, they should be sending people to capture me soon anyway."
As he entered his pavilion, a surprised expression appeared on Yun Che's face when his eyes landed on the brown-haired woman inside.
"Little Aunt?" He saw Lingxi sitting beside his bed in her nightgown, staring outside the window at the night sky in silence.
His call caused the brown-haired girl's body to tremble for a second before she turned around and looked at him, a beautiful blush apparent on her face.
"Lingxi, do you..." Yun Che silently stared at the embarrassed woman who finally could not take it and turned her head away from his gaze, muttering softly.
"Since we are not relatives now... There should not be any problem, right?"
"This woman... You say no more, I've got you! I am also curious about what will happen to me if I took the vital yin of the Ancestral Goddess. Will I jump and become the Ancestral God in one jump or something?"
A shit-eating grin formed on Yun Che's face as he appeared behind her, and his hands, like two nimble snakes, circled around her thin and willowy waist, easily capturing her soft, boneless body and pulling her towards him.
He softly whispered into her ear.
"I didn't know my Little Lingxi was this bold... To directly enter my room and ask for something like this. What would you do if Grandpa found out about this? Wouldn't he be angry with us?"
"I-I talked with Sister Yue, and she said that I should affirm the relationship between Little Che and myself as soon as possible, unless I regret it later. Yun Che, I do not want to regret anything! That's why... Also, I am sure my father will understand and accept our relationship!"
"Is that so? Then don't mind me..." Mentally thanking his luck of meeting Cang Yue, Yun Che decided not to think about anything else and spend the rest of his night with a beauty in his embrace.
...
While Yun Che was enjoying the night, the news of Yun Canghai's freedom and the revelation about his grandson finally reached the Sacred Grounds.
Xuanyuan Wentian was silently meditating when a servant came and informed him about the escape of Canghai and his apparent grandson.
There was no emotional change within Wentian's expression or his aura, still silent and overbearing, causing the servant to bend his back even more so as not to displease the monster in front of him.
Silence passed, and with each second, the servant found it hard to even breathe. Finally, after a certain amount of time, the voice of Wentian resounded within the prostrating servant.
"Call Wendao." A simple yet clear order, which the servant followed instantly.
Soon enough, a young-looking man dressed in green appeared within the courtyard. The young man was of an average build with ordinary looks. There was nothing extraordinary about him, just another villager.
"Wendao greets Sect Master."
He was Xuanyuan Wendao, the Young Master of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region and the son of Xuanyuan Wentian.
Despite standing in front of his father, there was no familiar love present between the two. In fact, it felt like two strangers in a cooperative relationship stood in front of each other, with one being in a superior position than the other.
Like the servant, Wendao did not dare to raise his head and look directly at his father. He made sure to humble himself in front of him, lest he angered him.
"Hm. Wendao, have you heard the news that Canghai has escaped and met his grandson who has lived on this continent for 17 years?"
"... Yes, Sect Master." Sweat trickled down his face as he replied with a nod.
"If I remember correctly, when you were chasing that couple, the woman was pregnant, right?"
"Sect Master, I swear that I have seen them running away with a child in their hands!"
"Is that so?" Wentian remained quiet for a second before replying. "Then either she had twins, or she exchanged her son with someone else... Whichever the case may be, it doesn't matter. I will assign some elders to you, so go and capture both the grandson and Canghai and everyone associated with them. It doesn't matter who, capture them all... Do not disappoint me like you did last time by letting the couple escape."
"Do not worry, Sect Master! Wendao will definitely catch both of them as soon as possible and present them to you!"
Wendao felt like his heart might jump out of his chest at any moment. He made sure to promise to please Wentian, even if the slightest.
"Also, if you find any weird mirror on the kid, make the mirror your top priority. Bring that mirror to me at all costs!"
"Wendao understands!"
"Good, leave then."
Giving one last bow, Wendao turned around and left. Only after he had left the premises of Wentian's courtyard did he release all the accumulated breath out of his system before taking a sigh of relief.
"To think not only those two were able to escape, they even left their spawn behind. Tsk. I really should have killed everyone in that city. Now I have to do this unnecessary work myself... again."
Unaware of the fact that this might end up as his last work, Wendao took the elders and left the Sacred Ground towards Floating Cloud City.
