Although Xiao Yun was mentally damaged, he had no obvious external injuries. After his breathing gradually stabilized, Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief and removed his hands from his forehead.
At this moment, a red light flashed in front of him, and Jasmine's delicate and fairy-like figure appeared.
"You're back so soon?" Yun Che stood up and asked in surprise. Jasmine said she would stay in the Supreme Ocean Palace for another whole day, and he thought she would be gone for a long time before coming back.
"We can leave now." Jasmine said indifferently.
“Now?” Yun Che’s spirits perked up, and he quickly asked, “So, you already know what’s going on with that thing that releases demonic energy deep in the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave?”
"Indeed I already know it, but it's better for you not to know it." Jasmine turned her face to the side.
“…” Looking at Jasmine’s expression and tone, Yun Che knew that Jasmine would never tell him about this matter, and it would be futile to ask her any more.
"The truth of this matter is far beyond your comprehension." Jasmine glanced at him calmly and said, "I cannot tell you about this matter, nor can I tell anyone else. It is something that only I know."
“It’s so serious…” Yun Che stared in amazement.
“You should take care of yourself first.” Jasmine frowned, “Didn’t you notice that there is something extra in your profound veins?”
“Found it.” Yun Che’s expression also tightened slightly: “I found it last night when I was healing my wounds. What on earth is that thing? Why did it merge into my Profound Veins?”
Yesterday in the Moon-Slaughter Demon Cave, after he had used all his strength to kill the Moon-Slaughter Demon Lord, his profound energy was exhausted, his body was severely injured, and his five senses had become extremely weak. Although he had some awareness, he was not entirely clear about what the Moon-Slaughter Demon Lord had done to him before his death, and he fainted afterwards.
Last night, when he was healing, he suddenly discovered that there was a round bead wrapped in red light in his profound veins. Yun Che was very familiar with the red light. It was Jasmine's power. Jasmine's power was extremely overbearing, completely sealing off the things it was wrapped in, without a single breath leaking out.
What shocked and puzzled him the most was that this thing existed in his Profound Vein, but he actually didn’t feel anything unusual. If he hadn’t looked inside his Profound Vein while healing, he wouldn’t have noticed its existence… It was as if it had completely merged into his Profound Vein, and had become one with his Heretic God’s Profound Vein.
“Devil Origin Pearl.” Jasmine’s voice sounded a little heavy.
"Devil Source Pearl?"
“When the demons of the ancient demon race were first conceived in the womb, their initial form was the Demon Source Pearl, which then gave birth to the demon body, demon soul, and demon god source power.” Jasmine walked in front of Yun Che and pointed her finger at his heart, checking whether the Demon Source Pearl that she had sealed had any changes. “In other words, the Demon Source Pearl is the source of the demon’s life, soul, and power! This is also the origin of the name ‘Demon Source Pearl’.”
“It sounds like a profound beast’s profound elixir?” Yun Che asked doubtfully.
“You can understand it this way.” Jasmine removed her palm from Yun Che’s heart, her face looking quite solemn.
“Why did the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord want to invade my Profound Veins with his Demon Origin Pearl? Could it be that he wanted to use the power in the Demon Origin Pearl to destroy my Profound Veins? Also, the Profound Veins repel external forces, let alone external objects, not to mention the Heretic God’s Profound Veins… But the state of this Demon Origin Pearl and the feeling it gave me were as if it had merged with my Profound Veins. I couldn’t feel my Profound Veins rejecting it at all. What’s going on?”
After throwing the Devil Origin Pearl, the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord was completely destroyed soon after. Otherwise, he could have at least survived for a while. And the words he said when he threw the Devil Origin Pearl made Yun Che shudder when he thought about it now.
“You lowly human… and you have inherited the power of the evil god… Even if I have to sacrifice… the magic bead… I will make you… suffer eternal damnation…!”
Yun Che: “…”
"The Heretic God's Profound Veins should not be so easily absorbed by a Magic Source Pearl. I think it was because your profound strength was too weak, and you were seriously injured and weak at the time, so you had no power to resist. That's why you were unable to resist the Magic Source Pearl's forced absorption."
Jasmine’s tone was not very certain. Although Yun Che was weak, that was after all the Heretic God’s Profound Vein, and it was on the same level as the Devil Origin Pearl. In fact, due to the Heretic God’s strength, the level of the Heretic God’s Profound Vein should be higher than the Devil Origin Pearl of the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord. No matter what, it should not be so easily interfered with without any resistance.
Especially... as the mysterious vein of God, it should have a strong rejection of "demons".
But other than that, she couldn't think of any other explanation.
"As for the purpose of the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord, it should be that he wants to gradually corrode you through the devil energy released by the devil source bead that enters your body. It has merged with your profound veins. Even if there is a way to remove it, it will definitely severely damage your profound veins. If you let it exist, although it is the power released by your own profound veins, you do not have the ability to control the dark profound energy, so you can only suffer until you die."
These were also just Jasmine's guesses.
After all, she was not a demon, and had never seen a true demon other than the Moon-Slaying Demon Lord. As for the Demon Origin Pearl, she only had the most superficial understanding from the Star God's memories.
"Then...is there any way to get rid of it?"
Jasmine pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "I don't know much more about the Demon Source Pearl than you do, and it has already been integrated into your profound veins, so I dare not move rashly. Moreover, with my power, it is impossible to erase the Demon Source Pearl of the True Demon. Fortunately, the power of this Demon Source Pearl is almost exhausted. My power can easily seal it and prevent it from releasing the dark demonic energy, but my seal can only last for two or three months at most, and then I have to seal it again."
“That’s not bad.” Jasmine’s words did not make Yun Che nervous or moved. Instead, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed: “So, from now on, every two or three months, I must rely on your power to seal the Devil Origin Pearl?”
Jasmine rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "You have something implanted in your body that could kill you at any time, and you can still laugh."
“So what? With Jasmine here, what does it matter?” Yun Che looked at the girl in front of him and said with a smile, “Speaking of which, seven years ago you were poisoned by the devil, your body was broken and abandoned, and your soul had to rely on me to survive. Now that your devil poison has been completely purified and your body has been reshaped, you no longer need to rely on me, but it will soon be my turn to rely on you to survive.”
Jasmine: “…”
Yun Che leaned forward with a pitiful look on his face. “In the past seven years, I never abandoned you. Now that Moon Slaughter Devil Lord has tricked me into giving him a Devil Origin Pearl, if you don’t care about me, I’ll be dead in a few months… You definitely won’t be willing to abandon me, right?”
“Hmph!” Jasmine crossed her two delicate arms in front of her body and snorted with disdain. She suddenly changed the subject and asked, “How are you going to deal with Xuanyuan Wentian and his men?”
“Xuanyuan Wentian is a very dangerous person. He killed my grandfather and almost killed my parents. He must be killed.” Yun Che frowned. “His son Xuanyuan Wentian was the culprit who killed Xiao Ying and caused the tragedy of the Xiao family… One day, I will personally destroy him and then hand him over to Grandpa and Xiao Yun for disposal!”
“The Sun Moon Divine Hall was also responsible for hunting down my parents and nearly killing my family. I will not let them go either.” Yun Che’s tone slowed down. “As for the Imperial Sacred Domain and the Supreme Ocean Palace, although Imperial Unfeeling and Qu Fengyi scare me, they are not yet at the point of a life-and-death struggle. Plus, with Yuan Ba’s relationship… you have already taught them a lesson for me today.”
"You can do whatever you want with them," Jasmine said indifferently, "All I care about is when you can kill them on your own. You should know why I spared their lives today."
Yun Che raised his hand and tapped his chin, pretending to think: “Jasmine, you always urged me to become stronger before, because my strength was related to your body reconstruction. But now... it seems that you are still in a hurry to make me stronger?”
“Because you are my disciple!” Jasmine said sternly, “You are the only disciple I have in my life. If my disciple can’t even beat a useless person in the Junxuan realm, then how can I have the face to call myself… Humph.”
Jasmine's voice suddenly stopped, followed by a cold snort.
A useless person in the Sovereign Profound Realm...
The Sovereign Profound Realm, which countless Heavenly Profound Profound Realms could only look up to and dare not even dream of, was just a "mere useless person" in Jasmine's eyes...
“Don’t worry.” Yun Che took a deep breath. “From the moment Grandpa passed away, I swore in front of his body that I would avenge this hatred with my own hands. Just for the reason of avenging Grandpa, I must kill Xuanyuan Wentian with my own hands. And to kill Xuanyuan Wentian with my own hands, I don’t just have to defeat him alone... but I have to face the entire Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.”
“Okay.” Jasmine nodded slowly. “Then I will give you twenty-four years. You must reach the ability to kill Xuanyuan Wentian and contend with the entire Mighty Heavenly Sword Region within twenty-four years.”
“Huh? Twenty-four years? Why twenty-four years?” Yun Che was slightly stunned.
“Twenty-four years later, the Netherworld Udumbara flower in the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave will bloom again.” Jasmine said calmly, “When that time comes, I will personally pick it, and the fusion of my body and soul will be perfect. After that… I will leave here and return to where I should be. If you still don’t have enough strength by then, just wait to die at the hands of Xuanyuan Wentian and Ye Meixie.”
"Also, twenty-four years is probably enough time for me to find a solution to the problem of the magic source bead in your body."
As she said these words, Jasmine turned away seemingly unintentionally, not letting Yun Che see the extremely complex light in the depths of her starry eyes.
Although her back was facing Yun Che, she could still clearly sense his uncontrollable excitement.
“Okay! Twenty-four years… I will definitely not let you down.” Yun Che nodded vigorously. Although he was very good at concealing his emotions, his joy was evident in his words.
After Jasmine reshaped her body, the thing he feared most in his heart was her leaving. Previously, she had said more than once that after she got rid of the devil poison and reshaped her body, it would be her time to leave - and she would leave forever, and he would never see her again.
Because she doesn't belong to this world at all.
And now, Jasmine told him in person that she could still accompany him for at least twenty-four years!
The huge surprise made him feel that even the magic source bead in his body that could take his life at any time was insignificant.
“I hope so.” Jasmine still had the air of an old-fashioned teacher: “Take Xiao Yun with you and return to Floating Cloud City first. From today until your… hmph, engagement party with Feng Xue’er, you should first recover from your injuries and profound strength. After that, I will personally be your opponent and guide you in your cultivation… Be prepared to be covered in wounds every day! I won’t let you slack off for even a single day!”
“I’ll go call Xue’er and Yuanba right away.” Yun Che ran out excitedly.
The sound of a door hastily closing could be heard from behind. Jasmine turned around and looked at the door that blocked Yun Che’s departing figure. The cold and arrogant air in her eyes slowly dissipated, and was replaced by an increasingly blurry haze...
"Who am I..."
————————————————
Yun Che brought Xia Yuanba, Feng Xue'er, and the still unconscious Xiao Yun with him, and returned to Floating Cloud City from the Supreme Ocean Palace in the Primordial Profound Ark.
Since Xiao Yun disappeared, the entire Xiao family was enveloped in a panic atmosphere. Number Seven Under Heaven was in tears every day, sleepless and almost collapsed. Even Number One Under Heaven was like a headless fly, searching everywhere like crazy. After receiving the news from Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, they all gathered in Xiao Lie's courtyard after noon today, waiting anxiously in anxiety and hope.
When Yun Che showed up, Xiao Lingxi, Number Seven Under Heaven, and Number One Under Heaven rushed over to him. Especially when Number Seven Under Heaven saw Xiao Yun, who was supported by Yun Che at his side, he let out a loud cry, staggered over to him, hugged him in his arms, and burst into tears, unable to speak for a long time.
“Xiao Che, Xiao Yun…” Xiao Lingxi asked nervously.
“Don’t worry, he’s fine.” Yun Che said with a smile.
“Seventh sister, I will return Xiao Yun to you now. He will be mentally exhausted in the next few days and will need to sleep for seven to eight hours every day. Other than that, basically no hair has been lost. In ten days or so, he will be exactly the same as before, so you can rest assured.” Yun Che said with a relaxed look on his face.
Yun Che, the "miracle doctor", said that it was okay, so it must be nothing. Number Seven Under Heaven was so excited that he cried and laughed, trying hard to wipe away the tears on his face: "Brother Yun, thank you. We are..."
“Xiao Yun and I are brothers. Saving him is only natural. What’s there to thank me for?” Yun Che grinned, “Why don’t you hurry up and carry your brother Yun back to the house… Oh, by the way, don’t forget to inform Grandpa. He must be worried sick.”
"Yeah!" Number Seven Under Heaven responded heavily, picked up Xiao Yun and left quickly.
“Brother Yun, what’s going on?” Number One Under Heaven walked up to Yun Che and said in a low voice. The anxiety and depression he had felt over the past few days had made him extremely angry.
“It was all my negligence.” Yun Che sighed softly, “I thought I was infallible, but I didn’t expect… I underestimated the Four Sacred Grounds.”
“It’s them indeed!!” The number one in the world clenched his teeth.
"But don't worry, everything is fine now, and there will be no danger if you continue to stay. When Xiao Yun wakes up, I will tell you exactly what happened."
