“Break the Cloud!!”
Huo Rulie roared, causing Huo Poyun's hand, which was about to touch the barrier, to stop in mid-air, and also shocked Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai.
Because he shouted "Po Yun" instead of Daikai Ou.
Huo Rulie's face was as red as blood, and his fiery long hair was trembling slightly during the countdown... Looking closely, he could see that a few hints of white had been mixed into his hair without him noticing.
"How long can you continue to be so willful? How long can you continue to be so stupid?!"
His voice was hoarse, and every word was roared. It was as if he had forgotten that the man in front of him was no longer his disciple, but the King of the Flame God Realm to whom he had to bow.
"Master Fire!" Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai spoke out at the same time to dissuade him.
"Shut up!" Huo Rulie waved his arm and took a few steps forward, so close to Huo Poyun that he could reach out and touch him. "Poyun, you have always been my greatest pride in this life. In a sense, you are even a gift from God to me."
"Although you are only my disciple, your position in my heart is no less than Ye'er. Back then, you returned from the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm with all the power of a Divine Master. I laughed wildly in front of you, and when I turned my back to everyone... I cried bitterly for three days and three nights! I don't know how many people I shouted proudly in front of, saying that I have no regrets in my death."
"..." Huo Poyun's hand was still suspended in the air, motionless.
“The Flame God Realm has ascended to the upper star realms because of you, and the vast star gods are honored because of you and respect you as their king. But… since Yun Che came back, what have you become! What have you done!?”
“Do you still have any dignity as a descendant of the Golden Crow? Do you still remember that your words and actions are related to the fate of the entire Flame God Realm? Do you know that your stupidity has almost ruined the Flame God Realm more than once?”
“Fire Sect Master!!” Yan Wancang’s voice was like a raging flame, finally drowning out Huo Rulie’s angry voice, and then he sighed heavily and said: “He is the Great Realm King… Enough.”
“Great Realm King…” Huo Rulie laughed miserably, “No, he is just a useless disciple after all. Handing the Flame God Realm over to him is not the greatest pride of my life, but… the biggest mistake.”
“The Flame God Realm is still safe and sound now, but it’s just that Emperor Yun is thinking about the past relationship… or maybe he simply doesn’t bother to investigate.”
Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai closed their eyes at the same time, their faces showing pain.
They knew that Huo Rulie had finally spoken out what he had been holding in his heart for the past two years...regardless of the consequences.
Huo Poyun's arm slowly dropped at this time, and then he turned around.
But when his eyes turned, what was reflected on the three people was not anger, but a calmness that was almost unfamiliar to them.
"Master, Sect Master Yan, Sect Master Yan." He spoke in a gentle voice: "I, an unworthy junior and incompetent Realm King, must have made you sad and disappointed over the years."
His expression and words at this moment made Huo Rulie, who was furious, stand there in a daze: "Poyun, you..."
“No matter how childish a child is, he or she will eventually grow up.” Huo Poyun laughed at himself, “I no longer have the qualifications or the dignity to continue being childish. I should have let go of my ridiculous obsession with Yun Che… no, I should have let go of my ridiculous obsession with Yun Di.”
Huo Poyun's words made the eyes of the three sect masters tremble at the same time. Yan Wancang said excitedly: "Great King, you really...really..."
"Yes." Huo Poyun nodded and smiled: "After I perfected the Nine Suns' Sky Wrath, it has become difficult for me to make further progress in my Golden Crow's World Burning Record. This time, I stepped into this forbidden barrier just to see the [Nine Skies Crow's Jade Shattering Sound]."
“Although it is a forbidden flame that burns the world with itself, it ultimately belongs to the Golden Crow’s Record of Burning the World and the Golden Crow’s divine power. As the inheritor of the Golden Crow’s power and will, if I cannot cultivate it, it means that what I carry on my body will always be an incomplete Record of Burning the World.”
“The sound of Nine Skies Wu Jue’s jade shattering?” Yun Che frowned.
The Golden Crow's Record of Burning the World that he first practiced came from the remnant spirit of the Golden Crow in the Golden Crow's Thunder and Flame Valley in the Illusory Demon Realm.
Later, in the Snow Song Realm, Mu Xuanyin won the complete Golden Crow Record of the Burning World from Huo Rulie for him.
However, in the complete Golden Crow Burning World Record, there was no mention of "Nine Heavens Crow's Jade Shattering Sound", and he had never even heard of it. Moreover, this name, these seven words, revealed a deep sense of determination and tragic grandeur.
"It's definitely not to prove something to Emperor Yun." Huo Poyun's smile deepened, and he also showed a deeper self-mockery: "If there really is a day when I will die in Wu Jue, it can only be for the sake of the Flame God Realm."
"So, Master, two sect leaders, please don't worry."
"..." The twisted flames of anger on Huo Rulie's body dissipated in chaos. He looked at Huo Poyun at this moment, his lips trembling wildly, and he was unable to speak for a long time.
“Okay, okay!” Yan Wancang nodded heavily, tears in his eyes: “The three of us have always believed that you will not let us down in the end.”
“However, my previous stupid actions have already been made, and there is no way back. If one day, the Cloud Emperor punishes me, I will kneel down and apologize, and will never act on impulse again. If it can protect the safety of the Flame God Realm, even if it means destroying myself, I will not hesitate.”
"It's just," he smiled and shook his head, and said in a very calm tone: "Just as Master said, with Emperor Yun's current height, I'm afraid he doesn't even bother to look down on me."
"Poyun, it's great that you think so." Huo Rulie finally spoke, his lips still trembling: "Those harsh words I just said were just out of anger... You are my greatest pride in this life, and this has never changed."
"I understand. The lesson that Master taught me just now was not wrong at all." Huo Poyun looked at Huo Rulie and said sincerely, "When I cultivate to the level of Nine Skies Black Absolute Jade Suiming and leave this place, I hope that my progress can make Master laugh heartily again."
“…” Yun Che did not continue to watch, nor did he try to understand the so-called “Nine Skies Black Jade Shattering Sound”. He turned around and said, “Wuxin, let’s go.”
As the distance increased, Yun Che’s speed also increased, and he soon left the God Burial Infernal Prison area.
But he didn't say a word for a long time.
"Father, are you...in a bad mood?" Yun Wuxin asked softly.
She knew a little about Huo Poyun.
Yun Che looked ahead and said to himself, “When people gain something, they often lose something.”
"Then...what is the 'loss' that is bothering father at this moment?" Yun Wuxin asked.
"I am destined to have no friends in my life."
After saying this, Yun Che did not feel too disappointed or regretful, but just a little melancholy.
"Why? Because... Father is standing too high?"
Yun Che smiled and said slowly: "When you regard someone as a friend, if he falls into a low point, you will be anxious and sad for him, and will not hesitate to use all methods and strength to help him."
"When he goes higher, you will be happy for him and feel proud of him. But if he goes too high, higher and higher, you will feel lost and sad... Until one day, he reaches a height that you need to look up to see him. He still treats you as before and is willing to help you at all costs, but you can no longer regard him as a friend. Even his help will make you uncomfortable."
"Why...why..." She had never experienced what her father said this time, so naturally she couldn't understand it.
“Because, true friends need to be equal.” Yun Che said.
“……” Yun Wuxin moved her lips, but she still didn’t understand.
"The man just now...his name is Huo Poyun. He was once a lone genius. Because he was too lone and too talented, he never had any friends. And I am the first person he truly regards as a friend."
"But I left too fast, too high... I dimmed his most proud Golden Crow Flame, and 'took away' the woman he fell in love with for the first time..."
Friends... Strength... Beauty...
"It's just that although I noticed the change in his mind at that time, I didn't realize the series of heavy injuries I accidentally caused him... He would resent me, and it's right."
Yun Wuxin said: "But, if he had ever regarded you as a friend so seriously, how could he really resent you because of that kind of... sense of disparity that he felt in his heart?"
Yun Che said sadly: "Human emotions are complicated. There are thousands of kinds of people with thousands of complexities. Some people even find it difficult to see themselves clearly, let alone others."
Huo Poyun hated him, but when he turned into a demon and was hunted by the world, he risked huge consequences to save him... and he didn't want him to know.
Yun Wuxin thought for a moment and said, "But, doesn't father have Uncle Xia and Uncle Xiao? Doesn't father consider them friends?"
“They are different.” Yun Che said: “Yuan Ba and I grew up together, Xiao Yun and I have the same parents, and the relationship between us is essentially family.”
"Now that I have become the Cloud Emperor, there is no one in the world who can be my equal, and I can no longer have true friends."
"It doesn't matter." Yun Wuxin laughed: "Father can't handle so many women, how can he have the time to make friends."
Yun Wuxin's words made Yun Che smile instantly, and even the slight depression in his heart disappeared. He pinched his daughter's ear and said, "You are really becoming more and more disrespectful. If your mother knew about this, I'm afraid she would blame me again."
"No, I'm very innocent and well-behaved in front of my mother, hehe." Yun Wuxin's beautiful smile was filled with a little pride.
While laughing and joking, they quickly flew towards the east.
…………
Eastern Divine Region, Snow Song Realm.
For Yun Wuxin, who had lived in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace for many years, the snow-covered Song Snow Realm undoubtedly made her feel very close to it, and she kept exclaiming in joy along the way.
As she approached the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect, she suddenly began to become nervous.
Because, in the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect, there was not only the awe-inspiring Mu Xuanyin, but also a person who was very special to her and her mother.
"Father, if I meet Ancestor Bingyun, what should I call her?" She asked seriously and nervously.
“As for this question…” Yun Che pondered: “If your mother wants to call her Grand Ancestor Master, then you should also follow suit and call her Grand Ancestor Master.”
"But your mother and her elder sister have become sisters. I used to call her senior, but now she is my sister-in-law, which means she is your aunt."
Yun Wuxin: (|||￢w￢)
"So, Grandmaster... Senior... Fairy Lord Bingyun... Auntie... Forget it, just call her whichever you like. Or, you can try calling her 'Fairy Sister'."
"No!" Yun Wuxin rejected it immediately: "We can't lose the courtesy of a junior! Father always gives bad advice."
"Hahahaha." Yun Che laughed loudly. Although he didn't think this was a bad idea at all.
“I heard from Aunt Caizhi that Aunt Xuanyin is the most powerful person in the world besides my father. Is that true?” Yun Wuxin asked again.
“That’s true for the Xuan Dao.” Yun Che nodded. “Also, she is the only person in this world who can get within ten miles of me without being discovered.”
"Ah? Father sounds very troubled." Yun Wuxin blinked and said mischievously, "Are you afraid that Aunt Xuanyin will see you doing something bad?"
“This is not the most important issue.” Yun Che exhaled softly: “The biggest problem is that she is not only very good at it, but also seems to like spying in secret…”
At this point, he suddenly thought of something, his face quickly straightened, and he changed his words: "Well, she likes to protect me secretly. Maybe I made her too worried in the past, so until now, she might still use this method from time to time to quietly observe and eliminate possible hidden dangers around us."
As he spoke, his eyes moved up, down, left, and right without leaving any trace...
“Huh?” Yun Wuxin laughed: “It turns out that Aunt Xuanyin has such a lovely side.”
“She was my teacher back then, and now she’s my wife. Being able to have Xuanyin is the greatest blessing in my life.” Yun Che looked at the vast expanse of white snow in front of him and sighed with a smile.
"..." Yun Wuxin put his lips close to his father's ear and said in the smallest voice: "Is Aunt Xuanyin really peeking at us?"
“Just in case.” Yun Che replied in an equally low voice.
Yun Wuxin: (*^▽^*)
