The Sun Moon Divine Hall, Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, and the profound practitioners of various countries all left in a hurry, and no one dared to come forward to greet Yun Che, the evil god.
Xia Yuanba’s physique was different from that of an ordinary person. After being healed by Yun Che with the energy of heaven and earth, his condition had improved at an astonishing speed in a short period of time. Seeing that everyone around him had left, he walked a few steps to Yun Che and couldn’t help but said with excitement, “Brother-in-law, you have actually… actually become so powerful! How did you do it? Could it be that your master has returned again?”
“I’ll tell you in detail later.” Yun Che said with a smile: “Yuanba, Xue’er and I will return to the Illusory Demon Realm immediately, otherwise they will definitely be worried. Do you want to go back with us?”
Xia Yuanba's eyes lit up, but he hesitated for a while before shaking his head: "Forget it, let's go later. This... it's not good to suddenly become the master of the Holy Land and then suddenly leave. Let's go back to the Holy Land first."
“Hahaha, that’s right.” Yun Che laughed.
“Brother-in-law,” Xia Yuanba lowered his voice, “You’re not really…really going to let Sun Moon Divine Palace and Mighty Heavenly Sword Region go just like that, are you?”
Yun Che smiled and said, “Yuan Ba, don’t worry. Everyone in the Imperial Sacred Domain is yours now. I will definitely not do anything to them. And I absolutely believe that although you are still relatively immature now, the Imperial Sacred Domain will only get better and better under your leadership in the future.”
"..." Xia Yuanba scratched his head and whispered, "Actually... I have no confidence at all."
“But I have full confidence in you. After all, you are someone with the heart of a hegemon.” Yun Che’s words were a little mysterious, and he changed the subject, “However, I am very serious about the teleportation array. This month, lead the Royal Supreme Holy Land to focus on building the teleportation array. Remember, when cooperating with Sun Moon Divine Palace and Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, make more use of their resources. They are currently leaderless and uneasy, and will be eager to show their abilities in the matter I have entrusted to you. Don’t be reluctant to use them.”
Although the Taikoo Xuanzhou has an extremely powerful space shuttle ability, it contains an extremely large independent world. Every time it shuttles, it drives not only one or two people, but a huge world, so the consumption is extremely large. Even the Nine Yang Jade cannot support its wanton consumption.
Especially after a round trip to Cangyun Continent, the remaining energy of the Ancient Mysterious Ark was directly consumed to less than 20%. However, both Tianxuan Continent and Huanyao Realm were his homes, and he would definitely travel back and forth between the two continents frequently in the future, so it was imperative to build a large enough space transmission array.
And the four holy places are the only ones that have enough capabilities and resources to build a teleportation array connecting the two continents.
"Uh, I see." Xia Yuanba nodded in confusion.
“Also, help me take good care of the two people from Sun Moon Divine Palace and Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.” Yun Che narrowed his eyes slightly.
"who?"
"The young sword master of Tianwei Sword Region, Xuanyuan Wendao who was crippled by me, and the tenth-ranked elder of Sun Moon Divine Hall, Ye Xuange."
“Ah?” Xia Yuanba was stunned and asked in confusion: “How can I take care of him?”
“Just make sure nothing unexpected happens and they don’t die. I’ll be of great use to you in a month.” Yun Che said.
Xia Yuanba was confused. Just as he was about to continue asking questions, he suddenly saw Dongfang Xiu and Qin Wushang walking side by side behind Yun Che. They looked quite nervous. He hurriedly called out, “Palace Master Dongfang, Palace Master Qin, you are here too?”
Dongfang Xiu and Qin Wushang came over and saluted at the same time, but before they could bow, Yun Che and Xia Yuanba had already moved away at the same time. Yun Che immediately said, “Two Palace Masters, we were both formal disciples of Blue Wind Profound Palace. We absolutely cannot accept your courtesy.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Xia Yuanba nodded immediately.
Qin Wushang sighed deeply: "My Blue Wind Xuanfu has always been a humble existence in the Tianxuan Continent. Even in Blue Wind, it is a laughing stock among those powerful sects. But now, two people walked out of my Blue Wind Xuanfu. One has become the Holy Emperor of the Royal Holy Land, and the other has become the most respected in the world. As one of the masters of the palace, it is difficult to describe this dream-like glory in thousands of words."
“You two palace masters are too polite. Do you want to ask about Queen Cang Yue?” Yun Che asked.
The two nodded, and Dongfang Xiu said, "Her Majesty has been away for several months. Seeing how elegant Palace Master Yun is today, Her Majesty must be well."
“Don’t worry.” Yun Che smiled and said, “Now that Xuanyuan Wentian is dead, there is nothing in the world that can threaten her and the safety of Blue Wind Nation. During her time in the Illusory Demon Realm, she has always been thinking about Blue Wind Nation. When the teleportation array is completed in a month, she will return to the royal family. During this month, I will have to trouble the two palace masters.”
"Then we feel relieved." The two palace masters smiled happily.
“Venerable Purple,” Yun Che said in a commanding tone, “Send someone to escort the two palace masters back to Blue Wind Country.”
Venerable Zi turned around, was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward and said respectfully: "Yes... two distinguished guests, please come in."
The two palace masters were flattered to be addressed as "honored guests" by the Holy Land's venerable and to be escorted by someone special. Even their steps when leaving seemed particularly erratic.
Everyone from the Phoenix Divine Sect came over. The leader, Feng Hengkong, looked at Yun Che, then at Feng Xue'er. He moved his lips for a long time before he said with a complicated expression, “Yun Che, bring Xue'er back to Phoenix City often.”
“Father, now that Brother Yun has become so powerful, there will no longer be the dangers we had before. Brother Yun and I will go back often.” Feng Xue’er chuckled.
“If you are willing, you can try to open up one or two spatial profound formations from Floating Cloud City or the Ice Extreme Snow Region to Phoenix City. This way, if Xue’er wants to go back, it will be much more convenient.” Yun Che said expressionlessly.
Feng Hengkong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded slightly. Building a space teleportation array connecting the two continents was something that the Phoenix Divine Sect could never do, but connecting the two countries... was definitely not a difficult task.
“Xue’er…” Feng Hengkong hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not tell her about Feng Ximing. He said reluctantly, “We are leaving. There are still too many things to deal with in Phoenix City. You must take good care of yourself and never let yourself suffer any injustice.”
The Royal Holy Land, the Sun Moon Palace, and the Heavenly Mighty Sword Domain left one after another. The Supreme Ocean Palace began to clean up the mess. The Phoenix Divine Sect left last. Unlike when they came with the determination to die, when they left, they felt more relaxed than ever before.
Because, not only did their Phoenix Divine Sect completely escape the danger of destruction, the new Phoenix God had also truly awakened, and was clearly more powerful than the ancestor Phoenix God.
——————————————
After bidding farewell to Xia Yuanba, who had become the new emperor of the Holy Land, Yun Che brought Feng Xue'er back to the Illusory Demon Realm that day and informed his parents and the Little Demon Queen of the news that Xuanyuan Wentian had died.
The news quickly spread throughout the Demon King City. Unsurprisingly, the Demon King City, which had been suppressed in the shadows for several months, cheered loudly. This was not just the death of an enemy, but also the pulling of the Demon King City and even the entire Illusory Demon Realm out of the abyss of destruction.
The Demon King City completely lifted its defensive posture, and those who had escaped from the Demon King City returned one after another. The terrible disaster that was thought to be about to happen at any time disappeared without a trace.
Over on the Profound Sky Continent, the Four Sacred Grounds began to spare no effort in constructing the space teleportation formation that Yun Che had requested.
Xuanyuan Wentian died, and his dream of becoming the Supreme Heavenly Master was completely shattered. The Four Sacred Grounds had witnessed and experienced Xuanyuan Wentian’s terror firsthand, so it was even more conceivable how powerful Yun Che, who had killed Xuanyuan Wentian, was. After today, they would all know very clearly that they were no longer the most powerful beings in the Profound Sky Continent. Above them, there appeared a person who could decide their life and death at will.
And this person was someone they had offended and even plotted against several times before.
This also forced them to be in awe of Yun Che. They had to lower their posture as much as possible and be cautious. They did not dare to slack off in the slightest when it came to the space teleportation array that he requested.
After the Phoenix Sect returned to the Divine Phoenix Country, they began to renovate Phoenix City. Feng Hengkong did not take Yun Che's words lightly at all, but immediately sent two groups of people to Floating Cloud City and Ice Pole Snow Region respectively to start building a space profound formation connecting the three places.
The name of Yun Che undoubtedly spread to every corner of the Profound Sky Continent once again. However, this time, the news was a thousand times more shocking than all the previous times combined. Not many days had passed before he was already known as the “Number One Throughout the Ages” in the Profound Sky Continent.
Yun Che paid no attention to all this. After returning to the Illusory Demon Realm, he quietly recuperated from his injuries. After seven or eight days, his injuries had healed.
It was early in the morning, and the sky was already bright. Light seeped in through the bamboo window and fell on Yun Che. His eyelids moved, and he asked drowsily, "Jasmine, what time is it now?"
“…”
Not getting any response, Yun Che slowly opened his eyes. He sat up from the bed and looked at the snow-white wall with a dazed look in his eyes.
Jasmine has been gone for several months.
But he still hasn't completely come out of this reality...or rather, he still hasn't been able to fully accept this reality.
Previously, after Jasmine left, he was first attacked by Yuluo and nearly died, and then he had been in the shadow of Xuanyuan Wentian, with no time to care about anything else. Now that Xuanyuan Wentian was dead, there was no one in the world who could threaten him anymore. With his mind completely relaxed, his thoughts about Jasmine kept coming, and he couldn't stop.
The person closest to him in his life is Xiao Lingxi, but the person who understands him best must be Jasmine.
From the initial simple mutual use, their emotions changed without them realizing it, and later, they were no longer just emotionally dependent on each other, but had become an almost instinctive habit. And when Jasmine really left him, he realized that it was not just a separation in distance, but a feeling of a large part of his body and soul being cut off.
And it can never be repaired and will always be incomplete.
"Mo... Li..." He called absentmindedly, raised his head and looked up to the sky: "Where are you..."
This dazed state lasted for half a quarter of an hour before he got out of bed and walked out into the courtyard.
It was still early, and after the battle preparations were lifted, the Yun family disciples, who had been tense for several months, were also recuperating during this period, and their rest time was greatly extended, so the surroundings were quiet. Yun Che walked far away and saw a middle-aged man in simple white clothes practicing slowly under an old tree.
When Yun Che saw him, he also happened to see Yun Che, put down what he was doing, and said with a gentle smile: “Che’er, you’re up so early.”
“It’s Senior Su. Your injury is not healed yet, so don’t force it.” Yun Che stepped forward and said.
Su Hengshan smiled easily and patted his chest, "It's no longer a problem. Senior Yun Gu is worthy of being the legendary medical saint. His medical skills are truly miraculous. For a person who severed his own heart meridian, I used to think that even a Daluo Jinxian could not save him. I didn't expect that under Senior Yun Gu's skillful treatment, he is now almost as good as normal."
“Of course.” Yun Che also laughed: “It is estimated that in half a month at most, Senior Su’s profound strength will be fully restored. Senior Su, have you gotten used to living here during this period of time?”
Su Hengshan's smile faded slightly, but it became even gentler: "I am ashamed to say that although I am the head of a sect, I have only been out of Jiangdong a few times in my life. I thought it would be difficult to adapt to a different life, but I didn't expect that during this time here, I have felt so relaxed."
Su Hengshan smiled and shook his head: "These can be called the most pleasant days in my life. I don't miss my life in Taisu Sect at all. It seems that I am not suitable to be the Sect Master. Especially seeing that Ling'er is not only safe and sound, but also found you, and is fortunate to have the Medical Saint as her teacher, and smiles so warmly every day, I feel more and more how stupid it was to cut off my heart meridian that day. If I really died, I can't imagine what the smile on Ling'er's face would be like. I was really... impulsive and stupid at that time."
Thinking back to the day when he severed his own heart meridian in order not to become a burden to Yun Che and allow him to go and save Ling'er without any hindrance, he still felt deeply afraid.
“As long as Senior Su likes this place, you can just treat it as your home from now on. And,” Yun Che smiled mysteriously, “In fact, what Ling’er is most concerned about is Senior Su’s ‘lifelong event’. Since you have already started a new life in the new world, Senior Su, after you recover from your injuries, you should also consider finding a confidante in your new life.”
"..." Su Hengshan was stunned for a moment. He had obviously never thought about this question before. He said awkwardly, "This... Ling'er's mother passed away early, I..."
“Eh? Dad, Brother Yun Che, why are you both up so early?”
As the two men were talking, a voice like a clear spring in a deep valley came over. Su Ling'er walked over lightly and smiled at the two most important men in her life: "What are you talking about?"
“Of course it’s a matter between men.” Yun Che said with a smile.
Su Ling'er opened her pink lips slightly, and then raised her nose a little: "You two aren't talking about... bad things, are you? Brother Yun Che, you... you must not turn my father into a playboy like you."
“…” Yun Che was suddenly embarrassed, while Su Hengkong had already raised his head and laughed.
“Dad, you’re still laughing. You don’t even know that Brother Yun Che has Sister Cang Yue, Sister Xue’er, and even the Little Demon Queen… all… and he even married another sister when he was only sixteen…” Su Ling’er didn’t need to be on guard in front of her father, and began to list Yun Che’s “crimes”. At the end, she carefully added, “He’s completely different from the Brother Yun Che I knew before…”
“Hahahaha…” Su Hengshan laughed even more happily. Yun Che’s name was known to everyone in Monster King City. He already knew everything about Yun Che’s situation these days. He smiled and said, “Ling’er, when you first met Che’er, you were only ten years old. Of course, things are different.”
“…You wouldn’t understand even if I told you!” Su Ling’er stepped forward and took Yun Che’s arm: “Brother Yun Che, I’m going to go outside the city to collect herbs. Can you come with me?”
“Collecting herbs?” Yun Che was full of confusion: “The Yun family has all kinds of medicinal herbs, why do we have to go outside the city to collect them?”
“Collecting herbs is secondary, the main purpose is to identify hundreds of herbs.” Su Ling’er said seriously, “Master said that to become a true doctor, knowing all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs, poisonous plants and insects is the most basic. Master is resting now, please don’t disturb him. Brother Yun Che, you are of course the most suitable temporary master. Let’s go!”
After saying this, Su Ling'er playfully blinked her eyes... She was the only person in the world, besides Yun Che, who knew that he was once a disciple of Yun Valley.
"Ah... OK."
Yun Che said hello to Su Hengshan and left hand in hand with Su Ling'er.
Su Hengshan kept smiling as he watched the two of them being intimate from afar. It had only been ten days since he arrived in the Illusory Demon Realm, but he had already begun to feel that this kind of life might be more suitable for him. He no longer needed to take on anything or be on guard against anything. He would no longer have pressure, heartache, retreat, anger, or sadness... A long time ago, he felt that he was completely unsuitable to be a sect leader, and now he was even more certain of it.
"It seems like it's time to find myself a companion." Su Hengshan smiled and said to himself, "At least Ling'er will be less worried about me."
There was a small forest area east of the Demon King City, with a lot of grass growing everywhere. After entering, Su Ling'er started from the edge of the forest, picking and identifying various flowers and plants one by one, with a very serious look on her face.
"Bluestone Flower...Putong Grass...Hansizi...This one is called...I think it's Youyi Grass?"
“No, this is the fishy vine.” Yun Che corrected immediately: “It looks very similar to the Youyi grass, but there are still subtle differences on the leaves. If you smell it closely, the smell will be very different. The fishy vine has a very light fishy smell.”
Su Ling'er gently picked it up, sniffed it, and exclaimed, "It is indeed! Brother Yun Che, how come you were able to recognize it so quickly from such a distance?"
Although Su Ling'er had inexplicably recovered her memories from her previous life, her temperament clearly leaned towards this life... She no longer had the everlasting melancholy of her previous life, but was more innocent and lively than a sixteen-year-old girl. Yun Che acted like an old man, "Ling'er, you have just started learning medicine, and it is already amazing that you know so much. There is no need to be too anxious. After all, I traveled around the Azure Cloud Continent with my master for twenty years, dealing with all kinds of medicinal herbs every day. It is hard not to be familiar with them. Later on, as long as I had come into contact with any medicinal herb, I could immediately know what it was just by smelling it without even looking at it with my eyes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Che paused there… He could still show off these words to other women, but Ling'er already knew them clearly.
“Hehe…” Su Ling’er stuck out her tongue at him: “Yes, yes, Brother Yun Che is really amazing, why don’t you come and teach me.”
Under Su Ling'er's eagerness to learn, Yun Che started to act as a mentor.
"This red flower is called Dragon Blood Vine. It is useless for curing diseases, but it can be used to refine medicine to assist cultivation."
"This is Zuo Lingzi, it has a cold nature and can be eaten directly..."
"This is Quechi Flower, a medicinal flower that can be directly crushed and applied externally. It can also detoxify some mild snake venom."
"This is……"
"I know this one...it's Jasmine!"
“…” Yun Che’s soul seemed to be violently stabbed by something, and he froze there for a moment.
"Wow! Such a large field of jasmine flowers. They actually grow in a place like this. It looks like someone planted them carefully."
Ahead was a damp piece of land with a large patch of snow-white jasmine flowers in full bloom. At a glance, there were at least hundreds of them. The flowers were small but pure white, and the fragrance was light but so elegant that it could almost cleanse the soul.
In her “previous life”, Su Ling’er loved jasmine very much, and the same was true for Su Ling’er now. She was almost intoxicated by the sea of blooming jasmine flowers, and even her ever-strong desire for knowledge was suppressed. She closed her eyes and breathed in the scent of jasmine for a while, then turned around and said with a smile, “Brother Yun Che, do you think the jasmine flowers here could be…”
Just now, she had her back to Yun Che and hadn’t noticed anything unusual about him. When she turned around, she saw that Yun Che had a dazed look on his face, his eyes were hazy, and his face was clearly covered with a look of sadness. She was anxious and rushed to Yun Che: “Brother Yun Che, what’s wrong with you?”
“…” Su Ling’er’s call brought him back to his senses. He forced a smile and said, “It’s okay. I just suddenly thought of something.”
“Did you think of… someone?” Su Ling’er raised her eyes, feeling Yun Che’s rather chaotic heartbeat, and asked softly, “Is the person related to Jasmine a girl?”
“…” Yun Che opened his arms and gently hugged Su Ling’er while he spoke. He said guiltily, “Ling’er, you are right beside me. I know I shouldn’t think about other people, but I…”
“Brother Yun Che,” Su Ling’er shook her head and smiled softly. At this moment, she seemed to have shed the immaturity of her sixteen years old and turned into the Su Ling’er who always doted on him infinitely back then: “It’s okay. I like you the way you are now. Do you remember what I said in your arms at that time?”
Yun Che: “…”
“Never let down a girl who is willing to give everything for you… and never give up on a girl you are willing to give everything for. If brother Yun Che’s heart cannot be complete because of some regret, then my heart will also never be complete.” Su Ling’er whispered softly, her voice sounding like a dream.
Having experienced two lives and two rebirths, and having experienced the true separation of life and death and loss and recovery, she knows clearly what she wants, and knows even more clearly what it feels like to have a broken soul.
“She is my master…” Yun Che said softly.
Su Ling’er: “…”
“She left. When she left, every word she said was heartless. She severed our master-disciple relationship and said that we would never meet again. She also told me not to try to find her ever again.” Yun Che closed his eyes. His words were very calm. In front of Su Ling’er, he could freely reveal the suppressed voice in the depths of his soul: “But I know that all her words were false. She must have been reluctant to leave me. Although there are many things about her that I don’t know, I understand her personality, her thoughts, her concern for me and the dependence she occasionally showed on me better than anyone else in the world... But, the place she went to is too far away. I may... really never see her again in this life.”
"I had planned to separate from her a long time ago, but... I overestimated myself. I didn't expect that I would be so uncomfortable without her around. Her shadow flashes through my mind countless times every day. I don't know what's wrong with me. It's like I've been under some strange spell."
Su Ling'er silently imagined what that girl might be like in her mind, and said softly, "I believe in Brother Yun Che's feelings. She must have her reasons or difficulties for saying that. Even if... we can never meet again, you still have us, and you still have me. At least, I will never leave you... Even if you want to drive me away one day, I will still stick to you."
Yun Che did not say anything else. He just hugged Su Ling'er tighter. The two of them stayed in front of the jasmine bushes for a very long time.
