Almost no one could immediately recognize that the old man in the Pivot of Eternity was Yun Canghai, because compared to a hundred years ago, he was completely unrecognizable. Yun Waitian and Yun Duanshui were the closest. They had been in the same clan with Yun Canghai for more than two hundred years. They vaguely sensed a familiar outline and Yun Canghai's unique aura as the head of the Yun family, but they only made vague sounds and did not dare to be sure at all.
“Do you recognize who this person is?” Yun Che stood beside Yun Canghai’s body, looking coldly at the hesitant Seventh Patriarch and all the people in the East Seat. This was why he brought back Yun Canghai’s body but didn’t let Yun Qinghong bury him early, and didn’t even let the Yun family know. Because he would never allow his grandfather to be buried with the accusation planted by others… He wanted to clear his grandfather’s name, and he wanted those people to apologize to his grandfather in front of the world!
“Yes, you guys??? It’s impossible for a novel to recognize him! Even if the Emperor’s extremely strong spiritual perception vaguely detected something, he would never dare to believe it!” Yun Che looked at the whole audience and said coldly: “He is the only demon king in the history of the Illusory Demon Realm, my grandfather, and the so-called ‘sinner’ that you have been condemning for a whole hundred years... Yun Canghai!!”
The name that Yun Che called out caused the entire hall to suddenly roar. Everyone stood up and stared at the person in the Eternal Pivot with wide eyes. Their faces were filled with deep shock and disbelief, and they couldn't even believe their ears.
“Yun…Yun Canghai!?”
“Impossible! How could this skinny old man be the Demon King Yun Canghai!”
"Didn't Yun Canghai die in the Profound Sky Continent a hundred years ago... How could it be him?!"
…………
The name of the "Monster King" Yun Canghai was known to everyone in the Illusory Demon Realm. However, the skinny old man in the crystal coffin beside Yun Che made it impossible for them to associate him with the world-famous Monster King. A hundred years ago, Yun Canghai had an extraordinary appearance, with a gentle and elegant face that revealed awe-inspiring power. He looked like he was not even thirty years old, and countless Illusory Demon women admired him in their dreams.
With Yun Canghai's cultivation level, his appearance would not change at all even after a thousand years.
But the old man in the crystal coffin had dirty and gray hair, and his body was as dry as a rotten wood, just like a poor beggar who had endured countless hardships and then starved to death. Even the lowest human in the Illusory Demon Realm would probably not want to take a second look at him... How could he be the Demon King in the Illusory Demon Realm who was second only to the emperor, above millions of people, and admired by countless people!
"The Patriarch... He is really the Patriarch!!"
Yun Waitian and Yun Duanshui cried out in grief, rushed forward, and knelt down fiercely in front of the Eternal Hub. As they cried out, tears were streaming down their cheeks. Although they did not dare to believe it, and did not want to believe it, they had great trust in Yun Che... How could he use the remains of his own grandfather to play tricks in front of the Little Demon Queen, the Twelve Clans, and the people of the world! Moreover, outsiders might not be able to identify him, but they were all members of the same clan who were loyal to Yun Canghai. Even though he was dead and unrecognizable, the indescribable subtle sense of familiarity that belonged only to Yun Canghai was real and clear.
The name "Yun Canghai" and the two elders' cries of grief made the hearts of all the Yun clan members tremble violently. Yun Qinghong took a long breath, raised his hand to stop those clan members who wanted to rush forward out of control, and said: "That... is indeed the body of my father. It was Che'er who brought him back from the Profound Sky Continent... It's good that the first and second elders are guarding by his side. You don't go over there again, so as not to disturb his sleep."
Yun Canghai's words firmly proved the identity of the body. All the Yun family members felt as if something exploded in their chests. The three great elders, Yunhe, Yunjiang, and Yunxi, were already in tears... They never dreamed that there would be a day when they would see Yun Canghai again...
"Is he...really the Demon King?" The Little Demon Queen said in astonishment. In this life, there are only two people she truly respects. One is her father, and the other is Yun Canghai. A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. She no longer hopes to see the remains of her father and brother, nor does she dare to hope to see Yun Canghai again... But at this moment, Yun Canghai's remains have returned to this fantasy demon world like a miracle, like a dream, and appeared before her eyes...
Just his appearance made her heart and soul tremble violently... and she couldn't stop...
Yun Che said with a stiff expression: “Even if I am an unforgivable evil person, I will never use the remains of my deceased loved ones to play tricks!!”
“Impossible!!” Helian Kuang said in a hoarse voice: “Yun Canghai died in Tianxuan Continent a hundred years ago, how could his body appear here! Moreover, Yun Canghai’s profound strength is as high as the peak of the eighth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, and he has a lifespan of thousands of years… How could he become like this!”
“How could he become like this?” Yun Che smiled faintly, his eyes filled with deep hatred, and his voice became extremely cold: “A villain like you… of course you won’t understand why my grandfather became like this!!”
"You... want to know why my grandfather is like this now! Do you want to know why his remains came back here from the Profound Sky Continent? Do you want to know why the Demon King Seal is in my hands!!"
Everyone present was eager to know the answer to the three sentences Yun Che shouted. The seven family heads wanted to know the answer even more. However, facing Yun Che's terrifyingly cold expression, eyes, and tone, they, as great emperors, clearly felt a deep palpitation... and the body of Yun Canghai beside him... Although it was just a body, no one dared to look directly at it, as if Yun Canghai's heroic spirit was staring at them.
Yun Che laughed. His smile seemed particularly eerie and terrifying to the seven family heads: “I will give you the answers one by one now!!”
"A hundred years ago, my grandfather led the ten great elders of the Yun family to the Profound Sky Continent to rescue the former Demon Emperor, but they were ambushed and fell into the 'Heavenly Might Soul-Suppressing Formation' that the other party had prepared long ago. The ten great elders died, and my grandfather was seriously injured... But my grandfather did not die. Instead, he was imprisoned by the Profound Sky Continent's Heavenly Might Sword Region in a place a hundred feet underground, where there was no sunlight! His entire body was locked up with chains of falling stars, and his profound strength was sealed off with the Heavenly Might Soul-Suppressing Formation... He was imprisoned for a full hundred years!"
The entire hall was so quiet except for Yun Che's voice that one could hear a pin drop.
Hulala!
Yun Che took out an extremely heavy chain and threw it on the ground: "This is the Falling Star Chain that sealed my grandfather! Helian Kuang, didn't you ask me why my grandfather became like this in just a hundred years? Because my grandfather didn't see the sun or the moon for a whole hundred years, didn't eat or drink for a hundred years, lived in darkness for a hundred years, was lonely in darkness for a hundred years, had his whole body sealed for a hundred years, had his profound veins suppressed for a hundred years, and endured the devouring of the Soul-Suppressing Array for a hundred years... For a whole hundred years, his life was worse than death!"
Yun Che's words made everyone in the hall pale and shiver. Their bodies were bound, their profound strength was bound, and they had to face endless darkness and loneliness... Even without the pain of being devoured by the formation, it was like being in purgatory. Because the most terrifying thing in this world is not the physical torture, but the endless darkness and loneliness... Even if one is an extremely powerful profound practitioner, if he is bound in this dark purgatory, within a few years, his spirit and will will be tortured to the point of complete collapse, until he becomes insane.
It is a kind of fear that no one can avoid and no one can truly endure...a life worse than death.
A hundred years... They simply couldn't imagine that someone could survive in this dark purgatory for a whole hundred years...
"Grandpa was in that place, and every breath he took was a mental torture that you dare not even imagine. Every breath he took was worse than death... He could have committed suicide and been relieved, but my grandfather did not. No matter how much pain he endured, he would not allow himself to die. My grandfather is not a person who is afraid of death. In a place like that, even if a person is afraid of death, within a month, he will do everything he can to kill himself..."
“The reason why he desperately lives is for this... Demon King Seal!” Yun Che took out the Demon King Seal again and said with gritted teeth.
“This… is impossible!” Jiufang Kui roared, “Since Yun Canghai has fallen into the hands of Tianwei Sword Domain, how could the Demon King Seal still be on him! Even if it is the small space he opened up himself, it must have been possessed by someone else. There is no way he could still have the Demon King Seal on him!”
“Heh!” Yun Che smiled coldly and then closed his eyes. He slowly moved the Demon King Seal to his heart and said softly, “In order to prevent the Demon King Seal from being taken away by Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, Grandfather opened up a small space in the center of his heart and hid the Demon King Seal in it… For a full hundred years…”
“Wha…what!!”
"ah!"
“……!!”
The faces of the seven family heads were all frozen, and no sound came out of their mouths. The Little Demon Queen's bright eyes suddenly widened, and her eyes trembled violently. Countless exclamations rang out in the hall, and almost everyone couldn't help but put their hands to their hearts, their palms trembling, and their hearts were even more excited.
“Patriarch…Patriarch…you…why…why are you doing this…” Everyone in the Yun family was either stunned or had their eyes closed, while more than a dozen elders had already fallen to the ground, weeping.
Yun Qinghong tilted his head back, closed his eyes tightly, and his clenched fists kept making dull sounds of dislocation.
It is indeed very difficult for anyone to discover the small space in the heart, but the pain it would bring is so great that even a strong emperor would shudder at the thought. As Yun Canghai was in the Heavenly Might Soul-Suppressing Formation, his profound strength was greatly suppressed. If he took it out, the small space would disappear, and he would no longer be able to open it, and the Demon King Seal would be exposed at any time. Therefore, during these hundred years, no matter how painful it was, he would never take out the Demon King Seal. The small space that hid the Demon King Seal was always in Yun Canghai's heart... for a full hundred years.
They couldn't imagine before, what kind of experience, what kind of painful torture could turn a high-level emperor into this in just a hundred years... Now they know, they know it thoroughly...
“Now, do you understand?” Yun Che looked at Jiufang Kui and said in an indifferent voice.
Jiufang Kui opened his mouth, but his throat was dry and he couldn't utter a word.
Yun Che smiled coldly. He stared at the seven family heads, and his cold words were heard by everyone one by one: “Take a good look at my grandfather. His whole body is withered, his hair is gray, and his long clothes have been torn to pieces and are unsightly. He spent every breath of the past hundred years in purgatory. It was not until he handed over the Demon King Seal that he had been guarding with his life to me that he died peacefully…”
"Oh, look at you all... You are also the heads of the family who protect the family, but you all have rosy faces and are full of vigor and vitality. You wear such gorgeous and luxurious clothes. You have led the entire family for a hundred years and look down on the world. You are so majestic. You eat the most exquisite mountain and sea delicacies, use the highest-grade elixirs, and live so comfortably and happily!"
Yun Che’s voice changed, and every word was as sharp as a blade: “And yet they still use the name of Zhongcheng to openly unite and suppress my Yun family! And they also want to smear my grandfather who has been guarding the Demon King Seal in hell as a sinner for all eternity!! And they also want my Yun family to bear a hundred years of sin, and even want to expel us forever!!”
"Do you still have any shame? Do you still have any conscience? Do you still have any dignity?"
"Do you have even a shred of shame!!!"
【Happy to be a father(>_
