[Another 5,000+ words, you didn’t expect that! ! ]
“Thank you, Brother Lengchuan, for the reminder. I will be careful.” Yun Che nodded, but there was no big ripple in his heart.
He witnessed the battle between Shui Meiyin and Meng Duanxi with his own eyes. Her mental power was indeed amazing. As strong as Meng Duanxi was, she had almost no power to resist. It was estimated that if Shui Meiyin had not stopped, he would not have realized that he had already fallen under Shui Meiyin's mental attack until he was defeated.
Such a Shui Meiyin should not be underestimated. However, he had four kinds of spirits, so he still had the most basic confidence... No matter what, he would not lose to this little girl in terms of mental strength.
As for the profound strength…Shui Meiyin was the weakest in the whole match without any suspense. As long as her mental attack was suppressed, the rest would be no different from beating a three-year-old child.
Glancing at Yun Che's expression, Lu Lengchuan said, "It seems that you are quite confident in tomorrow's battle. That's the best... Although, I don't think you can defeat Jun Xilei now, but I am looking forward to seeing you fight her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Lengchuan stretched out his hand and grabbed three fluorescent objects that flew towards Yun Che.
Yun Che reached out and took it. It turned out to be three Time Wheel Beads.
"This is useless to me, but for you... in a few months, maybe it can create a miracle." Lu Lengchuan said with a smile.
Yun Che did not refuse, he clenched it tightly and put it away, saying gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Leng Chuan, I really need this right now."
"No need." Lu Lengchuan turned around and suddenly whispered, "Brother Yun, thank you."
“Thank… me?” Yun Che looked puzzled.
"Two reasons." Lu Lengchuan's voice was full of emotion: "First, when you released the Nine Suns' Sky Wrath, at the last moment... you deliberately dispersed Yan Yang's power, right?"
“…” Yun Che was stunned. He didn’t say anything, nor did he shake his head to deny it.
When releasing the Nine Suns' Sky Wrath and the two suns fell to the world, he finally separated the overlapping two suns on a whim, thereby weakening the core power... Because he had already exhausted his profound energy, he was no longer able to control the two suns after they fell to the world, and it was very likely that they would kill Lu Lengchuan.
Yesterday, Lu Lengchuan slapped Lu Chenyuan for him, and the words he said afterwards made him do something at the last moment that he should never do for his goal.
"As expected." Lu Lengchuan smiled: "You clearly have a deep desire for victory, but you are unwilling to be ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve it. And you never mentioned this matter, obviously for my self-esteem... You have unparalleled strength and talent, but you have such a character. It is a blessing for the Eastern Divine Region to have a hero like you."
Yun Che shook his head: “Brother Lengchuan, you are too kind to me. Even if I didn’t do that, Brother Lengchuan would definitely be able to stop it. Moreover, I think my character is not worthy of your praise. I have done many things that were unscrupulous. As for the Nine Suns Sky Wrath… If it happens again, I am afraid I will not do the same thing again.”
Lu Lengchuan smiled and said noncommittally: "The second thing I want to thank you for... In a few years, I will be sixty years old and will be out of the younger generation. Being able to fight with you in the end, this period of my life is perfect and I have no regrets."
As he spoke, Lu Lengchuan gradually went away: "If you have free time in the future, you are welcome to come to Futian Realm as a guest. My father is full of praise for you. If you can come, he will be very happy."
Being "full of praise" by the King of Futianjie, how many people in the entire Eastern Divine Region can receive this honor?
Yun Che did not leave immediately, but stayed where he was, silent for a long time.
“Not even close…” Thinking about what Lu Lengchuan said, Yun Che sighed secretly.
Jun Xilei, who Lu Lengchuan claimed was "far inferior to" him, was impossible for him to defeat no matter what he did now.
If there is only one hope... it is that all six time wheel beads in his hand can give him up to six months of changes.
“It seems that I must do everything I can to improve my strength in the next two days.” Yun Che muttered to himself and glanced at his left hand: “And Hong’er… Hong’er’s current sword power can no longer keep up with my strength. It seems that there is still a small part of the sword I got from Ji Ruyan last time that I haven’t eaten… But after all, it’s a sword from a lower star realm. Eating all of it won’t lead to any qualitative improvement. I can only try to find other ways.”
He raised his head, looked at the sky, and muttered absentmindedly: "Jasmine, did you see me today?"
————————————
Today's Eternal Heaven Realm was as quiet as ever. Yun Che had just returned to the courtyard when he saw Master and Disciple Huo Rulie and Huo Poyun, who were obviously waiting for him.
“Brother Yun!” Huo Poyun walked over quickly, his face full of excitement: “Now the entire Eastern Divine Region knows that you defeated Lu Lengchuan, and I… didn’t even get to witness it with my own eyes. I really regret it. Uh… are you okay with your injury?”
"Haha, it's okay, just a minor injury." Yun Che said nonchalantly. Seeing that Huo Poyun's mental state had obviously improved a lot, he felt relieved.
“Boy Yun,” Huo Rulie came over and said with a smile, “Your opponents will become stronger and stronger. Each of them is the top of the younger generation in the Eastern Divine Region. Although your current achievements are enough to be proud of, but... I believe everyone hopes to see you reach higher heights. So, you must do your best in the next game... As for other things, we can talk about them after the Mysterious God Conference is over.”
Yun Che nodded: “Don’t worry, Sect Master Huo, I will definitely go all out… including for Brother Po Yun.”
“Brother Yun…” Huo Poyun looked at Yun Che with trembling eyes: “This time, when you defeated Lu Lengchuan, you also greatly enhanced the flame power of our Jinwu Sect. This should have been my responsibility… but I was so disappointing.”
“Haha, Yun’er, now you understand, our Golden Crow Flame is not only not weak, but extremely powerful, absolutely worthy of the title of ‘Strongest Divine Flame’. Especially Yun’s last Nine Suns Sky Wrath, which frightened those upper star realms for a long time, hahahaha.”
Thinking of the scene where the golden flame shone brightly in the world, Huo Rulie couldn't control his pride and blood boiling, and he laughed loudly.
This was definitely the most prominent time that Jinwu Yan had ever been in the Eastern Divine Region in his lifetime.
“Yes!” Huo Poyun nodded heavily. “Brother Yun defeated Lu Lengchuan, one of the four divine sons of the Eastern Region, with the Golden Crow Flame. The entire Eastern God Region witnessed the power of the Golden Crow Flame. I finally understand that the reason I was defeated miserably by Jun Xilei was not because the Golden Crow Flame was not strong, but because my cultivation was far from enough… I actually fell into such a ridiculous demon barrier… Master, I must have greatly disappointed you.”
“Hahahaha,” Huo Rulie smiled and waved his hands, “No, no. Yun’er, what Yun kid said that day was right. You are still just a young kid, and it is normal for you to be confused like this. You can get rid of the devil so quickly, and your teacher can only be happy and proud of you. How can I be disappointed?”
“Well, hehe… If it weren’t for Brother Yun, I don’t know how long I would have remained silent. I used to think that I could already stand on my own, and even thought that I could support the future of the Flame God Realm. It seems that I was still too immature and naive. From now on, I have no choice but to practice harder… Not only must I diligently cultivate the Golden Crow Flame, but I must also temper my character.”
Huo Poyun stretched out his hand and took out a time wheel bead: "Brother Yun, this is the last time wheel bead I have left, although... it is only a meager power."
Yun Che took it, looked at him firmly and said, “Brother Poyun, just wait and see. I will get back the debt owed to Jun Xilei for you… and I will use the Golden Crow Flame.”
Huo Poyun's eyes flickered and he nodded heavily.
Including Lu Lengchuan's three and Huo Poyun's one, Yun Che now had a total of seven Time Wheel Beads in his hand, which could transform seven hours into seven months.
Master and disciple Huo Rulie left, and neither Huo Rulie nor Huo Poyun asked Yun Che why he had the Golden Crow bloodline. As Huo Rulie said, he wanted Yun Che to complete the subsequent duel without distraction... The rest can be discussed later.
Holding the Time Wheel Bead given by Huo Poyun, Yun Che stood in place and frowned several times.
Huo Poyun had obviously gotten rid of his depression and regained his usual spirit, but for some reason, he vaguely felt that something was wrong with Huo Poyun.
But I couldn't think of or say what was wrong with him, I just felt that way inexplicably.
Maybe... he still hasn't really let it go. After all, it was such a heavy blow. Even if today's battle has eliminated his doubts about Jinwu Yan, it will still take time for him to completely get over it.
——————————
As night fell, Huo Rulie returned to his residence and noticed that Huo Poyun had been keeping his head down and remained silent for a long time.
Huo Rulie raised his eyebrows: "Yun'er?"
Huo Poyun shuddered slightly, then looked up: "Ah?"
"What are you thinking about? Are you still regretting not being able to witness the battle between Yun and Lu Lengchuan?" Huo Rulie smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Someone will record this battle in a mysterious stone carving. If you want to see it, there are ways to do it."
Huo Poyun bit his lip slightly and suddenly asked, "Master, did you give Brother Yun his Golden Crow bloodline and Golden Crow spirit?"
This was not the first time someone had asked him this question today, so Huo Rulie shook his head and said, "Of course not. Yun'er, do you remember that the Golden Crow Spirit mentioned that somewhere outside the God Realm, there was another Golden Crow inheritance?"
Huo Poyun was stunned and said in surprise: "Master, you mean..."
Huo Rulie nodded: "To be able to release such pure Golden Crow flames, the Golden Crow bloodline he carries is definitely not an ordinary inheritance. It is possible that he has the same Golden Crow bloodline as you."
Huo Poyun: “…”
"The Golden Crow Spirit has bestowed upon you the last of its Golden Crow Blood and Golden Crow Soul. There is no Golden Crow Blood or Golden Crow Soul in the world anymore. So, his Golden Crow bloodline and Golden Crow Soul could only have come from the 'other Golden Crow inheritance'."
Huo Rulie raised his head, his eyes full of excitement, and said with emotion: "This may also be the guidance of the Golden Crow spirit. Although he is not a disciple of our Golden Crow Sect, it was he who made the Golden Crow Flame so dazzling in the Eastern Divine Region for the first time. Now, I am afraid that all the disciples of our Golden Crow Sect admire him very much, and the elders and pavilion masters are full of praise. As for why he has the Golden Crow bloodline, it is not important. Hahahahaha..."
Huo Rulie laughed very happily. Huo Poyun’s tragic defeat and his trauma had really made him feel depressed, but Yun Che’s battle today had made all the pores in his body open up. He felt so comfortable that he didn’t know how many times he laughed throughout the day.
Huo Rulie didn't notice that when he was laughing, Huo Poyun didn't laugh, but lowered his eyes instead.
"Master," Huo Poyun said, "Brother Yun's profound strength is only at the eighth level of the Divine Tribulation Realm... but he defeated Lu Lengchuan, who is at the tenth level of the Divine Spirit Realm, with his Golden Crow Flame. His Golden Crow bloodline... must be much purer than mine."
“No, no,” Huo Rulie shook his head and said seriously, “The Golden Crow Spirit said that after it disappears, you will be the new Golden Crow Spirit. There will never be anyone in this world whose Golden Crow bloodline is stronger than yours. Yun Che…”
After a pause, Huo Rulie continued, “Yun’er, do you still remember that three years ago in the Snow Song Realm, Yun Che took on your ‘Golden Annihilation’ head-on, and was unscathed by your Nine Suns’ Sky Fury.”
Huo Poyun: “…”
“After that, I have actually been wondering all along. With his profound strength at that time, even if his ability to control the icy profound strength was strong, he would never be able to completely and easily resist your Golden Crow Flame. And today, I finally understood this matter… The reason why he was able to resist your power without any harm that day was definitely not just because of his extremely high icy strength, but also because his ability to control flames was also extremely high… and was definitely far superior to yours.”
“Plus, he actually has the Golden Crow bloodline in him, so he can indeed perfectly resist your Golden Crow flames.”
"..." Huo Poyun was speechless for a long time.
“I finally understand why Mu Xuanyin asked me to bet on the ‘Golden Crow Burning World Record’ that day. It turns out…” Huo Rulie shook his head and laughed uncontrollably.
If he knew it then, he would have been furious. But the result today… Thinking that a large part of it was due to his defeat to Mu Xuanyin, he felt very lucky and proud, and did not feel unhappy at all about being tricked by Mu Xuanyin.
“So that’s how it is.” Huo Poyun whispered, and then slowly said: “The King of the Snow Song Realm won the Golden Crow Burning World Record from the Master in order to give it to Brother Yun. In other words, although Brother Yun had the Golden Crow bloodline at that time, he should not have practiced the Golden Crow Burning World Record. If so, he practiced the Golden Crow Burning World Record for only three years at most... but he was able to release the Nine Suns Sky Wrath..."
Huo Poyun's words made Huo Rulie stunned. He stood there, staring blankly for a long time: "So... this kid... is really a... monster..."
He had practiced for nearly ten thousand years, and as the leader of the Golden Crow Sect, he still hadn’t been able to cultivate the Nine Suns’ Sky Wrath. Yun Che… it had only been three years!! Three years!!
Otherwise, he would have been so mad at Yun Che that he would have died.
"Yes." Huo Poyun said: "Brother Yun is really amazing. Today I really know that I am far inferior to him in every aspect. It should be said that... I am not even qualified to be compared with him. It's ridiculous that I once thought that..."
“Hahaha, Yun’er, you don’t have to be so self-deprecating. Yun Che is absolutely a little monster that even the various God Emperors are amazed by. In this Conferred God Battle, he will surely become famous all over the world, and any praise he gets is not excessive. And a little monster like this may only appear once every 100,000 or 80,000 years. You don’t have to compare yourself with him. You just need to know that you will always be the greatest pride of your teacher.”
Huo Poyun took a deep breath and said, "Master, don't worry, I will never let you down again."
"Good! I am very relieved to hear your words. Well, there is also that boy Yun. Although he is not a disciple of our Jinwu Sect, it is a fact that he has the blood of the Jinwu Sect, and now the whole Eastern Divine Region knows it. He and you are also close friends. I have always liked him very much. If I have to say, he is also half a member of the Jinwu Sect. With the two of you appearing in this generation of the Jinwu Sect, even if I, Huo Rulie, die suddenly now, I can go to see my ancestors with a smile, hahahahahahaha..."
Huo Rulie laughed loudly and walked away with big strides. Even a fool could see that he was in a very good mood.
Huo Poyun watched Huo Rulie leave, and suddenly he felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.
He turned and walked out of the courtyard. With a heavy heart, he didn't know how long he had been walking or where he was going. He only stopped when he almost bumped into an ancient tree.
“Alas.” Huo Poyun suddenly laughed at himself and shook his head. A guilty look appeared on his face. He looked up and muttered to himself, “The praise from my master, the admiration from my fellow disciples, and my fame in the Eastern Divine Region… These are what Brother Yun deserves. He even let the Golden Crow Flame continue to burn on the Conferred God Platform on my behalf…”
"I should be happy for him because he is grateful and proud of me. He still regards me as a friend. He was the first one to comfort and enlighten me when I was trapped in the devil's barrier. He defeated Lu Lengchuan with the Golden Crow Flame today, and he also intended to help me regain my confidence."
"Brother Yun is such a gifted child, but he is never arrogant and has always treated me with sincerity. It is my life's fortune to be able to be friends with him... and just now, I actually felt terrible jealousy towards him."
He let out a long sigh: "It seems that I have been concentrating on the profound way for these years, and my character cultivation is far, far behind. I am afraid that I am not qualified to be called his brother."
After breathing the outside air for a long time, Huo Poyun smiled and felt much more relaxed.
Yun Che’s Golden Crow Flame that astonished the entire Eastern Divine Region, the endless praise from Huo Rulie, Yan Juehai, and the disciples of the three Flame God Sects who could not suppress their admiration and respect when talking about Yun Che, indeed made him uncontrollably jealous.
If Yun Che had accomplished all of this with some other power, he would have simply been happy for him and cheered for him.
But, that was the Golden Crow Flame...
The one who carries the purest and richest Golden Crow bloodline and Golden Crow spirit, the one who carries the hope and future of the Flame God Realm, the one who can burn the most dazzling Golden Crow flame, should be him... He has always firmly believed that only he...
He had never experienced this kind of depression and jealousy in his heart before, and it also made him feel afraid, ashamed and guilty.
At the same time, it also made him realize the shortcomings of his own spiritual cultivation.
Just when he felt a little relieved and was about to go back, two white figures approached from a distance. Both of them were wearing Ice Phoenix snow robes and were obviously Ice Phoenix disciples. They walked over and talked excitedly.
"Everyone is talking about Senior Brother Yun now. Senior Brother Yun actually defeated Lu Lengchuan. Hiss... It still feels like a dream."
"Just now, those people from the upper star realm looked at us differently when they saw our clothes. It's more than just a dream. I didn't even dare to dream about it before."
"Haha, speaking of which, when the Sect Master accepted Senior Brother Yun as his personal disciple and gave him Junior Sister Feixue as his dual cultivation partner, I once spoke up for Mu Hanyi and felt sorry for Junior Sister Feixue. Now that I think about it, tsk, I was actually so stupid as to question the Sect Master's judgment."
"That is, what kind of person is our sect leader?"
"..." Huo Poyun suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his whole body trembled, and his steps suddenly stopped...
After a long while, he took another step and walked away silently, but his steps seemed to become a little erratic...
