“Show me the piece of black jade you got from the Moon Slaughter Demon Lord.” The Golden Crow Spirit deliberately changed the subject, not wanting Yun Che to ask any more questions.
Black jade?
Yun Che was startled, and immediately remembered the mysterious black jade that he had picked up beside the remains of the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord and had almost forgotten about, so he quickly took it out.
The round black jade was the size of a palm, cold and heavy to the touch, flawless and extremely smooth, and the front and back were exactly the same, without any marks or lines on it. There was not even a trace of profound energy.
Judging from its appearance and aura alone, this can only be described as an ordinary jade stone, not even the lowest grade black jade.
But the fact that it could remain intact under the power that could destroy the Moon-Slaying Demon Lord meant that it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
A golden light shot down, and the mysterious black jade floated up from Yun Che’s hand, suspended in the air, and then was wrapped in the golden light… But in just a moment, all the golden light completely disappeared, and the mysterious black jade fell from the air and fell back into Yun Che’s hand.
“What on earth is this?” Yun Che raised his head and asked.
“I don’t know.”
“Even you don’t know?” Yun Che’s face was filled with surprise. Since this black jade came from the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord, it should be something from the Age of Gods a million years ago. It was not surprising that Jasmine didn’t know about things from that era, but the Golden Crow Soul was a fragment of the soul of the divine beast Golden Crow, carrying some of the Golden Crow’s ancient memories, and she didn’t recognize it?
“Like you, once my power penetrated into it, it disappeared without a trace. There are two possibilities for this situation.” The Golden Crow Spirit stated slowly: “Either, there is an independent small world inside it, just like this Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley created by me. Or, the law of power is extremely high, and it is a plane that our power cannot touch at all.”
"It has been with the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord and has remained intact in the seal of the Heretic God for a full million years. It is definitely not an ordinary thing. It is very likely a 'demon jade' or 'demon weapon' of the level of the Devil God. It is also possible that only the power of the devil can awaken it."
Yun Che put away the mysterious black jade and said casually, “I have always been curious about it. But now, it doesn’t matter what it is.”
“Golden Crow Spirit, I should go back now. If I take too long, they will get worried.” Yun Che lowered his head and bowed deeply to the Golden Crow Spirit. He said sincerely, “When we first met, I spoke ill of you and even said that you were selfish and arrogant and unworthy of being a god… Not only did you not punish me, but you gave me a new life first, saved my life several times, and even greatly reduced your own lifespan. Yun Che really doesn’t know how to repay this great kindness.”
“…I have my own selfish motives in bestowing my last bloodline and soul power upon you. I do not need your gratitude or repayment.” The Golden Crow Spirit said calmly.
“…But, I am destined to disappoint you.” Yun Che sighed, turned around, and walked away.
“You don’t need to be so pessimistic.” The Golden Crow Spirit suddenly said, “Xuanyuan Wentian has merged the remaining power of the Eternal Night Demon Clan. It is indeed beyond your current ability to deal with it. However, given his state, after awakening the power of all his demon blood and demon souls, his cultivation will stop forever. He will never make any progress in his life, and even his life span will be greatly shortened. But you are different. You have extraordinary talent and the power of gods. In the future, you will definitely surpass him one day. Before that, you can use the Primordial Profound Ark to escape to other dimensions, leaving Xuanyuan Wentian nowhere to be found.”
“I can indeed escape.” Yun Che stopped and whispered, “But Caiyi definitely won’t, and neither will my parents.”
"Besides... do I really have a future now?"
"..." The Golden Crow Spirit was speechless. After a long silence, it sighed and said, "Go ahead."
With a flash of golden light, Yun Che was teleported outside the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley.
The light in the golden pupils converged, and he slowly muttered to himself as he closed his eyes: "When I explored his memories, I thought his luck had deepened and he was favored by the heavens. In addition, he possessed the power of the Dragon God and the Evil God, so I gave him everything... I didn't expect that he would suffer such a disaster now..."
"This is destiny, and there is nothing we can do to disobey it."
——————————
After being teleported to the outside of the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, just as Yun Che had expected, Feng Xue'er and the Little Demon Queen were waiting there and had never left. When they saw Yun Che appear, their eyes shone with the same brilliance and they quickly rushed over.
“Brother Yun, you…how are you now?” Feng Xue’er still asked timidly and worriedly.
“Looks like everything is fine now.” The Little Demon Queen glanced at Yun Che’s aura, and her expression and eyes were clearly relaxed.
“Haha, of course.” Yun Che smiled with a relaxed expression: “With the power of the Golden Crow Spirit, of course I will be safe and sound.”
“That’s great.” Feng Xue’er happily let go of the burden in her heart, and then asked in confusion, “But, what exactly is going on? Why did Brother Yun suddenly…”
“You all still have injuries on your bodies and need to rest and heal immediately. Let’s go back to Monster King City first. They must be worried sick.” Yun Che changed the subject.
"..." The Little Demon Queen looked at him deeply and said calmly, "Let's go back to the city."
————————————
Although Xuanyuan Wentian was repelled, the impact it brought was by no means something that could be quelled in a short period of time. The Demon King City was in chaos at this time. Those who had escaped from the city earlier had received the news and began to return one after another.
The protective barrier had been put away, but the entire Demon King City was as if shrouded in a cauldron, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. Although they had not suffered a catastrophic disaster, they had all witnessed Xuanyuan Wentian's terror with their own eyes... and he had only escaped today, and had not been killed. One day... it should not be too long before he would come again.
This horrible fact weighs on everyone's mind like a nightmare.
Under the guidance of the guardian families and the various royal palaces, the Monster King City was carrying out the aftermath work. The Yun family was also filled with a dull and panicked atmosphere. Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou stood in front of the main gate, looking up to the north, eagerly hoping that Yun Che would return safely. Xiao Yun and his wife also accompanied them and kept comforting them.
Until they watched Yun Che and the other two arrive safely and land in front of them. Mu Yurou ignored the presence of everyone and rushed over in tears, hugging her son tightly and crying like a child.
“Mother, I am an unfilial son. I always make you worry and cry.” Yun Che said with guilt.
Yun Qinghong’s eyes were slightly moist. He felt that although Yun Che’s aura was a little weak and disordered, it was no longer abnormal. His mind relaxed immediately and he bowed to the Little Demon Queen and said, “Little Demon Queen, you are injured. Please heal as soon as possible. Do not neglect your holy body.”
The Little Demon Queen shook her head slightly, "My injuries are not serious. But Yun Che's external injuries are minor, but his internal injuries are quite serious, and he seems to be mentally damaged. We should quickly prepare a place for him to heal. We can talk about other things tomorrow."
“Ah?” Mu Yurou didn’t have time to wipe her tears and hurriedly grabbed Yun Che’s sleeve: “Che’er, is your injury… really that serious?”
“It’s okay.” Yun Che smiled and shook his head, and consoled him, “My body’s self-healing ability is different from that of ordinary people, so this injury is nothing… I’m just a little tired, and I want to find a place to sleep for a while.”
Little Demon Queen: “…”
"Okay... Your room has been cleaned up by your mother. You should have a good rest and tell me if you need anything." Mu Yurou said anxiously. After that, she turned around and took Feng Xue'er's hand. She looked at her with tenderness: "Xue'er, I have been looking forward to seeing you these past few months. It is really a blessing for Che'er to have you by his side... I don't know how to thank you enough."
Mu Yurou's words made Feng Xue'er panic a little: "Aunt, I... I didn't do anything for Brother Yun... You are embarrassing me with these words..."
"Aunt?" Mu Yurou smiled softly with a hint of ambiguity: "Let's go in first, Che'er still needs to rest. After we settle down, I have a lot to say to you. Just treat this place as your own home."
“Thank you, Auntie.” Feng Xue’er said softly.
“Xiao Yun, are Grandpa and the others okay?” Yun Che asked Xiao Yun.
"Don't worry, big brother. They are all fine. All the fairies of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace are housed in other courtyards. Normally, no one is allowed to approach them... I will go and tell them that you are safe and sound, so that grandpa and the others can rest assured." Xiao Yun nodded.
“Hmm…” Yun Che nodded slightly: “Please apologize to Grandpa and Master Murong on my behalf… I’m a little depressed right now. I’ll go and pay my respects as soon as I feel better.”
"...I understand. Big brother, you should have a good rest." Xiao Yun's expression was slightly surprised.
Yun Qinghong had been looking at Yun Che, watching his face, eyes, words and actions. From the beginning, he had noticed that something was wrong with Yun Che's condition, and now, this feeling had become more and more serious. He frowned and finally said, "Che'er, you..."
"Okay!" Mu Yurou waved her hand and said, "Che'er is injured and not in good spirits. Let him have a good rest first. If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."
“…” Yun Qinghong had no choice but to shut up, but his heart felt much heavier.
————————————
Returning to the courtyard he had been away from for several months, he lay on the soft bed, and all the noise from the outside world was cut off from him. In the silence, Yun Che did not fall asleep immediately, nor did he meditate to heal his wounds. Instead, he stared blankly at the sky, his eyes unfocused.
Jasmine, what should I do now...
Without you by my side, it's so difficult for me to even survive.
When the Demon Source Pearl exploded, I felt death... When I fell off the Jueyun Cliff, the feeling of death was not so clear.
Perhaps, the next time it explodes, I will die.
After I die, what will happen to Caiyi, Xue'er, Yue'er, and the others... What will happen to my parents... What will happen to Grandpa and Lingxi... What will happen to the Illusory Demon Realm... What will happen to the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace...
Are they really destined to be destroyed in Xuanyuan Wentian's hands...
Caiyi will definitely choose to live and die with the Demon King City. She would rather die than abandon the Fantasy Demon Realm and escape.
The same goes for my parents...
Xue'er and Yue'er left the Divine Phoenix Sect and abandoned the entire Blue Wind Nation for me, and followed me to the Illusory Demon Realm, which was completely unfamiliar to them.
Gong Yuxian entrusted the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace to me with tears before she died...
Grandpa and Lingxi, I swore so many times that I would protect them, make them live in peace and safety, and never let anyone bully them again.
But if I die...
"call……"
Yun Che gasped heavily. He was more and more afraid of death, extremely afraid. But the magic source bead in his profound veins made him see the day of death just around the corner.
How on earth should I survive...
If I am destined to die, how can I destroy Xuanyuan Wentian before I die...
Jasmine, what should I do?
Without you, what else can I do...
The scene of Jasmine's resolute departure three months ago reappeared before his eyes. Although three months had passed, it still made his chest feel heavy and suffocated. He remembered every word, every expression, every look, and every expression she had said at that time.
"This memory fragment contains some words that I cannot tell you face to face... After twelve hours, the seal of this memory fragment will be automatically unlocked. Then, you will know what I want to tell you."
"This morning, when I sensed the breath of the Hell Rose, I had this realization. So, I gave something to Hong'er, and then Hong'er took it to the Sky Poison Pearl. After I left, you took it from Hong'er... Although it can't increase your cultivation by much, it can at least extend your lifespan by thousands of years."
“…”
Yun Che instantly flipped over from the bed as if he had received an electric shock.
The fragments of memory that Jasmine left me!!
As soon as Jasmine left, he was attacked by Yuluo and remained in a coma until he returned to the Illusory Demon Realm. He was then "forced" to practice dual cultivation with Feng Xue'er and the Little Demon Queen for three months in the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, and never had the chance to read the memory fragments that Jasmine left for him.
