Chapter 626 The Puzzle Left by Parents

Shortly after returning from the Holy City, Yu Cang had used his Starry Sky Vision to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Death Dragon Skeleton. However... he hadn't fully grasped the rhythm of this Soul Card.

Logically speaking, with his card-making skills at that time, coupled with a powerful weapon like the Complete Rhythmic Body, he would have been able to research something, let alone an epic, even a legendary one.

However, the research on the dead dragon skeleton ended in failure.

At that time, he discovered that the shallow rhythm of this soul card was already in a very solidified state, and even if he used his rhythmic body to directly touch the shallow rhythm, he could not stimulate the deep rhythm.

If he tried to force his way in, it would very likely damage the soul card, so Yu Cang had no choice but to give up.

However, he made a discovery at that time, that is, deep within the rhythm of this soul card, there is a power that is contrary to its appearance.

That is a force of life hidden in death!

After that research, Chao Ci also saw this soul card. She said that there was a familiar feeling in this soul card, as if she had seen it before the creation of all living things.

But Chao Ci had lived for too long, and her memories of some things had long been vague or simply forgotten, so she couldn't say anything more specific.

At that time, he had no clues and could not come to a conclusion, but now... if he assumes that the deep rhythm of this soul card is the elixir of immortality... it seems very reasonable!

The elixir of immortality, it sounds like something that contains a lot of life force, which seems to be consistent with what I perceived at the beginning!

However, Emperor Zulong’s elixir of immortality actually came from before all living things were created... If Chao Ci’s perception was not wrong, then its origin must be very important.

In this case, a new problem is placed before Yu Cang.

It seems that his parents directly used the elixir of immortality as the material to make the dragon skeleton that could suppress death.

Why is this...

Although the Death Dragon Skeleton is a very powerful soul card, no matter how powerful it is, it is just an epic card.

He knew that the elixir of immortality could not really make a person "immortal". After all, Emperor Zulong had looked half-dead before him. With this precedent, any normal person would definitely not put the elixir of immortality into his mouth.

From this point of view, using it as a card-making material is undoubtedly a good choice...but isn't it a bit of a waste to just make it an epic card?

Yu Cang stroked the card surface of the dead dragon skeleton and frowned slightly.

Until now, the fourth ability of the Death Dragon Skeleton remains a question mark.

Could it be that only by erasing those question marks can the true quality of the Death Dragon Skeleton be revealed?

If the elixir of immortality really existed, he would not be surprised if the true quality of this soul card reached the mythical level. But unfortunately, before his parents disappeared, they were only a seventh-level card-making master and could not become a mythical level.

Although the test for the guardian of a nation was difficult to hold, many level 7s already possessed the strength to protect a nation, lacking only certification. But even if his parents were truly guardians of a nation, they might not be able to process materials of the quality of the immortality elixir.

Yu Cang shook his head and drove these thoughts out of his mind.

There is no point in speculating any more.

We still need to find a way to resolve these questions.

Old Man Ren said that his parents wanted to tailor a deck of cards for him, and this Death Dragon Skeleton was the first one, a soul card they reserved specifically for him.

Well, if my father left some puzzle on this soul card... I should know how to crack it!

Yu Cang gently tapped his temple with his fingers, and his mind began to recall the memories of six years ago when his parents were still alive.

…

No, still no clue.

His parents have been very strict with him since he was a child, and they also taught him a lot of card-making knowledge that he didn't learn in school.

But, if I were to say anything unique that only I know...it seems like there isn't anything.

Yu Cang dug out several potentially useful card-making techniques from his memory and calculated them carefully... At least from his calculations, they should be of no use to this soul card.

As for actually trying it on the dead dragon skeleton - forget it, he definitely wouldn't dare.

If it gets damaged, he won't be able to fix it.

Time passed little by little, and Yu Cang had already searched his memory from inside to outside, but still had no clue.

He scratched his head a little irritably.

I definitely know how to solve the problem!

But why is there no impression?

Did I miss something when I was with my parents before?

At this time

The door was suddenly pushed open and a figure walked in.

Yu Cang looked up...the person who walked into his room was Gu Jieshuang.

"Eh?" Gu Jieshuang paused. "Um... Boss, did I disturb your thoughts?"

“…No, I’m not thinking.”

Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to be a little too irritable... He hadn't been in this state of mind for a long time.

That's normal, after all, a lot happened tonight.

Tai Chu's life or death was uncertain. After he returned to the post station, he was too worried to concentrate on studying the soul card... After all, he could not help Tai Chu at all.

Now he has no idea how to solve this puzzle left to him by his parents.

In his opinion, this might be a test they left for him. Completing this test would mean their recognition of him... Even if he is full of honors now, without the recognition of his parents, what does it mean?

Although Yu Cang is a time traveler, he grew up on Blue Star and has a strong sense of identity with his identity. He has long regarded them as his real parents.

They are indeed the ones who gave themselves life.

No, you can't be so impatient.

The more impatient you are, the more likely you are to miss the truth.

Yu Cang took a deep breath and then smiled.

"Jie Shuang, is there something wrong?"

Gu Jieshuang shook her head: "It's okay... I'm just worried about you. Did you find anything in the imperial mausoleum tonight?"

Of course they all knew that Yu Cang was going to the imperial mausoleum tonight to find out the truth, just like they went to the prison last night.

But, it was already late at night and they still didn't see any movement... and Yu Cang had already returned.

You know, we went to the prison yesterday, but a big battle took place that night, and then Li Anjiu was rescued.

But now everything is calm...which is a bit abnormal.

Qiu Jindong advised them not to pay attention to it and that they would know when they woke up tomorrow, but Gu Jieshuang was still a little worried.

So, he came to Yu Cang's room by himself.

"...I did find something." Yu Cang sighed, "Well...I'll tell you tomorrow. It's too late now."

He plans to tell everyone about Tai Hina tomorrow.

Taichung is fighting right now, but no one can get into that place. Even if others knew about it, they would just be anxious and unable to help. So, it would be better to let them rest and not think about these things.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if everyone had dark circles under their eyes at tomorrow's martial arts competition... Well, although soul card masters can stay awake, being in a state of worry and anxiety all the time will definitely have an impact.

Especially Wen Ren Ge, that guy's mental state is already worrying.

Anyway, since entering the Great Royal Court, everyone has been ready to start a war at any second and will not relax for a second just because of Tairu.

Upon hearing this, the worry on Gu Jieshuang's face became even more intense.

She sat down next to Yu Cang and held his hand.

"But boss... you look terrible, what happened?"

"...There are indeed some things." Yu Cang gently patted the back of Gu Jieshuang's hand. "I found some information related to my parents, but there are still some things I can't figure out... This shouldn't be the case. Since they did this, it means that in their eyes, I will definitely be able to immediately understand what they want to convey..."

"Oh, I see." Gu Jieshuang nodded.

Then, he suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled Yu Cang's body towards him, and held him in his arms.

"Huh?" Yu Cang was stunned, but Gu Jieshuang's actions did not allow for resistance.

Melee Soul Card Masters are very strong.

Just like that, Yu Cang's head fell into Gu Jieshuang's chest.

"Okay, hug."

Gu Jieshuang patted Yu Cang's head with a gentle smile on her face.

"Uncle and aunt may have left some little puzzles, but they certainly don't want you, boss, to be sad because of it... Unless they have a bad taste like Uncle Cheng Mingye, don't you think, boss?"

Gu Jieshuang's chest is neither too big nor too small, with just the right amount of softness.

In such softness, listening to such soft words.

Yu Cang's eyes widened involuntarily, and suddenly, his body slowly relaxed.

"Jie Shuang, you..."

Yu Cang's voice couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Jieshuang chuckled:

"Boss, don't be too touched. Giving you a hug and comforting you at this moment is what I should do..."

"you're right!"

Yu Cang suddenly stood up, his eyes as determined as a materialistic fighter.

"Huh?" Gu Jieshuang was stunned, and didn't have time to hide the silly smile on her face.

"You reminded me...why didn't I think of that!"

Gu Jieshuang blinked, then slowly stretched out a finger, pointed at his nose, and said blankly:

"Ah? Me?"

"Of course! Thanks to you!"

Yu Cang suddenly realized that he must have fallen into some kind of misconception.

His parents left him this card for two reasons: one was to create a deck specifically for him as a graduation gift, and the other was to leave him the Elixir of Immortality!

He confused these two purposes.

Because, when my parents disappeared, I actually didn’t know that I would grow up to this point in the future... I also didn’t know that I would be so obsessed with finding them.

So, they gave themselves the choice!

If he is just an ordinary genius with some achievements now, with some clever ideas in card making, but not to the point of far surpassing his peers, and his combat is delayed a lot because of card making, it is understandable.

Then, the dead dragon skeleton itself would be a very good gift.

This was simply because he had given them his own soul card, and his parents were happy to watch him live an ordinary life. There might be some difficulties like in the imperial capital, but with the help of old man Ren Zheng, it wouldn't be a big problem.

But... at this time, if I get stuck in a dead end and try my best to enter the real dragon's death zone to find them... at this time, the elixir of immortality in this soul card will have its meaning!

In this way, he would definitely frantically investigate the information of that year, find people related to his parents, and explore the documents related to the death place of the real dragon... In this process, he would gradually come into contact with his parents' circle, and at some point, realize the existence of the elixir of immortality!

According to the normal growth curve, to reach that point, he must have grown up completely, and maybe even be stronger than his parents... In short, this time point will definitely not be when he is 20 years old.

So, it’s not that he didn’t understand what his parents meant, but that he grew up too fast, beyond his parents’ expectations.

It seems that it was right that I didn't know the solution, because the Dragon Skeleton was given to me as an ordinary gift. It was enough for the gift to bring laughter, and there was no need for so many conspiracies.

Therefore, the cracking method must be something they have confirmed over and over again, and it must be something they don’t know.

Once he embarks on the path of investigating the truth, he will naturally find the method along the way.

A smile appeared on Yu Cang's lips.

If this is the idea... then, during the process of my investigation, there must be something that cannot be avoided.

What is it...

Yu Cang's eyes narrowed, and he already had the answer in his mind.

Madam Yu!

This is the black intermediary who introduced his parents to the Yuanhuang Club!

"I see……"

Various clues flashed through Yu Cang's mind, and finally, he confirmed it.

It should be correct.

but……

Yu Cang's eyes were filled with thought. He walked aside and fell silent again.

But Madam Yu was currently engaged in a battle with Tai Chu... This battle was bound to be a life-or-death struggle, and judging by what he had seen and heard when he left that blood-red space...

It’s hard to say whether Taichu can survive, but Madam Yu is probably dead.

After all, he used himself as material for the evil god!

No, that's not right.

This woman will definitely not die so easily.

The God of Desolation said that she had her own plan, which would deal a serious blow to the Desolate Sect... No matter how you think about it, dying together with Tai Hina can't be considered a serious blow, right?

She definitely has a backup plan.

So, how do I find this out?

Yu Cang narrowed his eyes.

First of all, one thing is certain.

His parents used this method on Mrs. Yu...but Mrs. Yu herself must not know it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so calm when he saw his own Death Dragon Skeleton on the Fire Star. Besides, his parents wouldn't make such a mistake.

Even Madam Yu herself doesn't know...

Yu Cang rubbed his chin.

"What could it be..."
