Yun Che turned his gaze to a corner, where Jun Wuming and Jun Xilei were walking away, and Jun Xilei didn't even glance at him.
"Let's go." Mu Bingyun said.
Yun Che shook his head, stood up, and said to Huo Poyun: "Brother Poyun, I have something to talk to you alone."
Huo Poyun was stunned, didn't say anything, and nodded slightly.
Yun Che and Huo Poyun flew away. As soon as they left the Conferred God Stage area, Yun Che spoke directly: “Brother Poyun, you have always been expected to be the future of the Flame God Realm. Especially the fellow disciples of the Golden Crow Sect, they have always had extremely high expectations and praise for you. But after yesterday’s battle, the halo that should have belonged to you was transferred to me. The enthusiasm they have for me is far greater than yours. It must be... difficult for you to accept it, right?”
Huo Poyun’s body paused for a moment. Facing Yun Che’s extremely straightforward words, he was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Yun Che turned around and looked at him, saying very seriously: “Yesterday, I originally thought that defeating Lu Lengchuan with the Golden Crow Flame would help you regain your confidence in the Golden Crow Flame, but I seriously overlooked that the harm this would cause you would be far greater than the comfort it would bring to you… Although I didn’t mean to do that, in the end… I must apologize to you.”
"No, no, no!" Huo Poyun waved his hands quickly. He wanted to force a smile, but he couldn't. He said sadly: "You didn't do anything wrong. It was you who made Jinwu Yan so dazzling for the first time. It was... it was me who was not only so disappointing, but also... I was jealous of Brother Yun..."
After saying this, Huo Poyun lowered his head.
“Jealous?” Yun Che smiled and said, “Brother Poyun, do you really think that my Golden Crow Flame is stronger than yours?”
"Of course," Huo Poyun whispered, "Your Golden Crow Flame can even defeat Lu Lengchuan, so you are more than a little bit better than me."
“No.” Yun Che shook his head slightly. “In other aspects, I can still be quite confident. But… the only thing is Golden Crow Flame. I am definitely far inferior to you.”
Yun Che's extremely certain tone startled Huo Poyun.
“Brother Poyun, your Golden Crow bloodline and Golden Crow spirit were passed down to you in their entirety by the Golden Crow spirit of your Golden Crow Sect at the cost of losing its existence, right?” Yun Che suddenly said.
Huo Poyun raised his head abruptly, looking at Yun Che in disbelief.
Yun Che smiled and said, “Don’t be surprised. Brother Poyun, you must be wondering why I have the Golden Crow’s divine blood and soul. I can tell you frankly that the world where I was born, although it is just a small planet, also has a Golden Crow inheritance.”
"...As expected... that's the case." Huo Poyun whispered blankly.
“Golden Crow Souls are all soul fragments of the divine beast Golden Crow, and they can communicate with each other. Therefore, before I came to the God Realm, I knew that there was a Golden Crow Soul in the God Realm as well. In other words, at least before that time, the Golden Crow Soul in your Flame God Realm had not been eliminated. After I came to the God Realm, the Flame God Realm no longer had Golden Crow Souls, but had someone like you who had extremely strong Golden Crow bloodline and was abnormally strong in controlling the Golden Crow flames. Therefore, when we first met in the Snow Song Realm, I guessed this.”
Of course, there is another reason, that is, he has Feng Xue, Gui Kuan, and Huan Yu Rang by his side.
"You..." Huo Poyun was stunned and speechless for a moment.
“And the Golden Crow bloodline and Golden Crow divine soul in me are the Golden Crow soul spirit from my world. I think that the Golden Crow soul spirit of your Flame God Realm should have mentioned the existence of another soul spirit to you. And the inheritance I received is a wisp of divine soul and a total of nine drops of Golden Crow blood.”
"Nine...drops?" Huo Poyun said softly, but his eyes were full of disbelief.
Nine drops of Golden Crow blood... or the source blood. For other Golden Crow disciples, this was a gift from God that they would never dare to dream of. However, the terrifying Golden Crow flames that Yun Che was burning with... how could it be that they were only derived from nine drops of Golden Crow blood?
“Yes, there are only nine drops. Whether it is divine blood or divine soul, they are far weaker than yours.” Yun Che looked into Huo Poyun’s eyes and said, “And the reason why the Golden Crow Flame I burn seems to be so powerful is because I have another special profound skill that allows me to better control the Golden Crow Flame and maximize its flame power. In other words, at my current level of strength, that is already the limit of the Golden Crow Flame power with nine drops of Golden Crow divine blood, and it is impossible to be stronger.”
“And you… although you are far better at controlling the Golden Crow Flame than others, you are still too young after all, and you are far from discovering the true power of the Golden Crow Flame. In other words, the Golden Crow Flame I burn has reached its limit, and you, who possess the strongest Golden Crow bloodline and the strongest Golden Crow spirit, still have extremely huge potential that no one can imagine. When that time comes, at the same power level, my Golden Crow Flame will definitely not be able to compare with you… and may not even be comparable.”
Huo Poyun: “…”
"So, you don't need to worry about this at all. As for jealousy, there's no need for that. If I really have to be jealous, I should be jealous of you. If I had a bloodline as powerful as yours, why would I need to fight to the death with Lu Lengchuan? I could just burn him to ashes."
Yun Che's words made Huo Poyun's originally dim eyes appear brighter and more colorful. He took a long breath and finally smiled: "Brother Yun, thank you for comforting me again."
“This is not a consolation.” Yun Che smiled and said, “It’s just a fact that you subconsciously ignored. However, although my Golden Crow Flame is destined to be far inferior to yours in the future, this does not mean that my strength will be weaker than yours. Brother Poyun, how about we make a promise?”
"…What agreement?"
"After the Conferred God Battle, you will be sent to the Eternal Heaven God Realm to practice for 'three thousand years'. So, after you leave the Eternal Heaven God Realm, how about we have a good competition?"
Three thousand years is a very long time for the younger generation like them, which can bring too many unpredictable variables. It can not only change a person's strength, but also change his cognition, state of mind, pursuit... and even temperament.
His words made Huo Poyun's eyes light up, and his heart, which had been silent for the past few days, seemed to be ignited by a cluster of blazing flames. Looking at Yun Che, he nodded heavily: "Brother Yun, thank you for waking me up. I am the successor of the Golden Crow spirit. I am just too immature now. In the future, my Golden Crow flame will never be weaker than anyone else."
“Brother Yun, I am far inferior to you now, but… three years later, I will definitely… definitely make you, my master, and the entire Eastern Divine Region take notice of me!”
“Okay!” Yun Che frowned and nodded: “I’ll wait for that day! I will also do my best to prevent you from surpassing me! So, in these ‘three thousand years’, you’d better not slack off for even a single day!”
Huo Poyun stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously towards Yun Che. A smile as bright as the clouds that dispersed the mist appeared on his face. Then he turned around and flew away.
“Huh.” Looking at Huo Poyun’s back, Yun Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, “Brother Poyun, come on.”
Huo Poyun did not notice that when Yun Che mentioned the three thousand years of the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, he said "you" instead of "us".
In the God Realm, Huo Poyun was the only person Yun Che truly regarded as a friend. This was of course not only because of his temperament, but also because he was the last inheritor of the Golden Crow Spirit.
In the Illusory Demon Realm, he not only received the divine blood and divine soul of the Golden Crow Spirit, but also received many of its guidance. When he was desperate and dying at the hands of Yuluo Du, it was the Golden Crow Spirit who guided the Fengxue?Guayue??flame to save his life. The magic source beads on his body exploded one after another, and it was also the Golden Crow Spirit who forcibly extended his life time and time again at the cost of reducing its own existence.
Finally, the Golden Crow Spirit bestowed the last of its power upon the Little Demon Queen before disappearing into thin air.
Yun Che didn't even have the chance to repay all the kindness.
Therefore, he was not only kind to Huo Poyun, but also had a very special feeling for him. Subconsciously, he always wanted to repay his gratitude to the Golden Crow Soul with Huo Poyun.
Huo Poyun had suffered setbacks in the past two days, but Huo Rulie didn't seem to take it too seriously. Instead, Yun Che racked his brains to resolve the problem for him.
Compared to Huo Poyun's matter, what he is going to face next is a real big trouble.
Three days later...Jun Xilei!
Lu Lengchuan's words undoubtedly told him that there was an absolutely insurmountable gap between him and Jun Xilei.
The only thing he could rely on now were the seven Wheel of Time beads. But, in just seven months, was it really possible to close this huge gap?
When he returned to the courtyard, Mu Bingyun was quietly waiting for him. The first thing she said was, "Jun Xilei, how are you going to deal with her?"
“I don’t know.” Yun Che shook his head: “I have seven Wheel of Time beads in my hand now. If I can make a huge breakthrough within these ‘seven months’, maybe there will be some possibility of a battle… right?”
The Middle Star Realm was born into one of the Four Conferred Gods. The entire Middle Star Realm of the Eastern Divine Region was boiling with excitement, but Mu Bingyun could not see any joy or excitement on Yun Che’s face. She only saw a deep solemnity. She sighed softly: “Yun Che, it seems that even at this level, it is still not enough for you... Do you have to win the battle of Jun Xilei?”
“We must win!” Yun Che said firmly.
There were still three days left, and Yun Che did not immediately open the Time Wheel barrier to practice, but sat by the pond again, closed his eyes, and concentrated on thinking. Seven months seemed like a good time, but he knew in his heart that the gap between him and Jun Xilei could not be caught up in just seven months.
He had to think of other ways... Was there any way to greatly increase his strength in a short period of time, and to greatly increase the might of the Heaven Smiting Sword...
As he pondered, time passed quickly, and before he knew it, the sky had begun to darken.
Just as the night was about to fall completely, Yun Che suddenly raised his head, and a strange fire flashed in his pupils for a moment. At this moment, a roar of anger suddenly came from outside:
"Yun Che, get out here!!"
Before the voice fell, a blue sword beam pierced down from the air and directly smashed the gate of the courtyard.
At this moment, everyone in the Snow Song Realm was undoubtedly alarmed. Mu Bingyun, Mu Huanzhi and the others appeared instantly, but when they saw the figure of the woman holding a sword walking in, they were all stunned.
The woman was dressed in blue, with an extraordinary fairy-like appearance, and the sword in her hand was emitting a strange and colorful glow.
It was the reflection of the moon in the water.
As the eldest daughter of the King of Liuguang Realm and one of the Four Sons of God in the East Region, Shui Yingyue had long been famous in the East God Region. But the Shui Yingyue people knew was just as her name indicated, as gentle and peaceful as water, as noble and elegant as the moon, and she almost never had obvious emotional fluctuations... But at this moment, Shui Yingyue's eyes were cold, her face was full of anger, and the Yaoxi sword in her hand was not only unsheathed, but also contained murderous intent.
Yun Che stood up with a thud, his scalp tingling... It was over, it was over, the truth had been revealed, this was the end of him!
