Chapter 33 Zhiyu
Cang Yao seemed to sense Ye Kemeng's alarm and comforted her, "Take your time."
Ye Kemeng nodded and continued reading.
Although she couldn't help but want to fast forward, knowing only the result without knowing the process could be the most deceptive thing.
She knew Cang Yao was right, but she couldn't help but mutter, "To be honest, I feel like that young man in the blue robe sounds a bit familiar."
This was merely what the kitten perceived through its keen hearing, but Ye Kemeng had no evidence, so she could only mutter this to herself.
Cang Yao couldn't help but smile. He knew that even if Ye Kemeng had completely lost her memory, she wouldn't be completely oblivious to everything.
Ye Kemeng didn't see the smile on Cang Yao's face. She had her eyes closed at the moment, and what she saw in front of her was the scene after those people returned to the sect.
A middle-aged man dressed in black robes saw the young man injured and his expression changed drastically: "Zhiyu, what happened to you?"
This young man called 'Zhiyu' was the one with the highest cultivation level, and the one in the blue robe who was recording everything with a recording talisman.
Zhiyu was clearly still in great pain, but having endured the pain all the way, he had managed to bear some of it with his strong willpower. He spoke intermittently, "Father, I have discovered that the black hole is extremely strange and fraught with great danger. Father, please take the entire sect to the Nine Provinces Academy. There is the Divine Lord Cangyao there, who will surely have a solution."
Ye Kemeng's heart tightened. So Cang Yao was already famous?
The middle-aged man in black clearly believed his son's words. After all, having such an outstanding son could even lead his small, dilapidated sect to gain a foothold in the entire cultivation world where powerful figures abound. He completely accepted the caution and worry in the other party's words.
“Alright, I will give the order now. We will depart in an hour. What do you think?” the middle-aged man in black said.
Zhiyu quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Father."
"You are the strongest in the entire sect, and yet you are injured like this. The elders who went with you are filled with fear, which proves that thing must be extremely terrifying, beyond what our sect can handle." After giving instructions, the middle-aged man in black continued to stay by the young man in green, saying, "I estimate that the disciples who went there before are mostly dead. But, Zhiyu, how is your health?"
Zhiyu's face was pale, but she still forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, Father. I can't muster my inner energy right now, and all my spiritual power feels very sluggish. If you encounter danger on your way to Kyushu Academy and it's inconvenient for you to take me with you, just leave me behind."
The middle-aged man in black's expression changed, and he immediately shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Your father will never abandon you."
Zhiyu, her face pale, thanked him, "Thank you, Father, but... this black hole appeared so suddenly, and the other sects around didn't even give any warning. I'm afraid our journey to the Nine Provinces Academy will be difficult."
The middle-aged man in black knew his son possessed profound cultivation and exceptional talent. This talent was not only evident in his rapid progress in cultivation but also in his ability to sense unseen dangers or auspicious locations. Since he said so, it truly meant their sect was in grave danger this time.
The middle-aged man in black felt a chill run down his spine. Although no real enemy had yet come knocking, he could already sense that a storm was brewing.
The cultivation world is probably about to undergo a major upheaval.
The more Ye Kemeng listened, the more familiar Zhiyu's voice sounded, as if she had heard it before.
"Did Zhiyu survive in the end?" Ye Kemeng asked subconsciously. She didn't really want an answer; she just had a feeling that Zhiyu wouldn't survive, but she also felt that she had definitely heard that voice before.
Cang Yao knew that Ye Kemeng didn't need his answer, so he didn't come back and let Ye Kemeng continue reading on her own.
After saying these words, the young man in the blue robe, Zhiyu, fainted. It seemed he had been forcing himself to stay awake, trying to convey the signs of danger to his father so that his father could lead the sect's disciples away quickly. After all, if he were to say these words to the elders who were going with him, they might not agree, and even if they did, they might not be able to persuade his father.
Moreover, what if the elders, like the Supreme Elder, heard him say that taking things was dangerous and immediately thought of running away, leaving the disciples behind?
Therefore, he persisted until his father agreed, and only then did he feel relieved.
While everyone else had left to make arrangements, an elder walked up to the sect leader, set up a barrier, and whispered, "Sect leader, I feel that the Supreme Elder is not quite right."
As he spoke, he pointed out the photo that the young man had risked his life to take.
He pointed to the Supreme Elder's reaction and said, "When we saw this black hole, we were all curious and cautious, but the Supreme Elder's face was full of fear, as if he had recognized this vast expanse of nothingness."
The middle-aged man in black, who was also the sect leader, said, "Never. Even in the library, there has never been such a record."
“That’s what I think too. Besides, I studied at Kyushu Academy back then. I’m not very good at academics, so I just like to read some strange and unusual books. Even in the library of Kyushu Academy, there’s no record of anything so fierce and bizarre. Zhiyu was ambushed because he was trying to record this image.” He looked at Zhiyu and sighed deeply.
"Don't worry, I'll risk my life to save Zhiyu." The middle-aged man in black said firmly. "He's not only my son, but also the bell ringer of our sect. If this black hole continues to devour and grow, it will definitely develop into a crisis for the entire cultivation world. I can't let the bell ringer have a bad ending."
"Sect Master, you've gone to so much trouble," the man said. Seeing that the Sect Master only talked about the dangers of the sect and didn't mention the Supreme Elder at all, he deliberately spoke more strongly, saying, "I think the Supreme Elder is really suspicious. He must know something, and after Zhiyu was attacked, he actually slowed down his escape and even looked back at Zhiyu, as if he was sizing her up. I'm afraid he might harm Zhiyu."
Upon hearing this, the sect leader shook his head: "That's impossible. Zhiyu is his great-grandson, blood is thicker than water. Besides, when Zhiyu was a child, the Supreme Elder loved him the most and raised him with great care. He would never do anything to harm Zhiyu because of this kindness."
Seeing that the sect leader trusted the Supreme Elder so much, the man flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and left.
Sect Master: "..." How come you still have such a bad temper after all these years?
He quickly apologized: "Okay, I'll be careful. Are you still worried about me? I'm Zhiyu's biological father. I will definitely protect him and don't want anyone to hurt him."
"Even without you saying it, I will always protect Zhiyu. If it weren't for him, this photo would not have been preserved."
Seeing him walking out without stopping, the sect leader asked, "I've already apologized, what else do you want to do?"
"Of course, we should make multiple copies of this photo and send them to the sects that are unaware of this matter. The appearance of this black hole is no small matter. We should let the smaller sects prepare in advance, and the larger sects should also be able to allocate their resources to protect the entire cultivation world."
The sect leader shook his head and sighed, "Still so full of boundless love."

That being said, the sect leader still kept a wary eye on the Supreme Elder. Otherwise, why would such a selfless person who never made enemies ask him about the Supreme Elder?
When Ye Kemeng saw this, she even took a moment to look at the Supreme Elder's perspective. She discovered that after returning, he indeed took out the book on how to change one's root bone and read it again. Previously, the book was changing page by page, but by the time he returned from the black hole, the contents of the book had completely changed.
I don't have many years left to live, and the only way to prolong my life is gone.
Divine bones.
The Supreme Elder was shocked. He thought his great-grandson was just an ordinary person with good physique, but he never expected that the all-powerful Void would say that his great-grandson had divine bones.
This is absolutely stunning.
Although the Supreme Elder was very afraid of death and cherished his life, he had lived for several hundred years and finally came to his senses.
It turns out that this book was the work of nothingness. Nothingness couldn't kill his great-grandson in one go, so he wanted to use him to kill his great-grandson.
As long as the other party has a request of him... the Supreme Elder immediately gained confidence. He set up a barrier around himself and spoke directly: "Since you are so powerful, you must be able to hear me talking to you like this, and you can respond."
The ink marks in the void did not change at all, indicating that the other party had no intention of communicating with him.
But the Supreme Elder was not in a hurry, saying, "I'm just an old man who's about to die anyway. It's no use killing me. Everyone else in the sect treats my great-grandson like a treasure, and they all think he can become an immortal. Even you said that he has the bones of a born immortal."
When the words "divine bones" were mentioned, the Supreme Elder couldn't help but swallow hard. He resented the injustice of fate; why didn't he have such good innate talent? Those were divine bones!
The Supreme Elder had just witnessed just how powerful this Void was. Even the Void itself was wary of it, and the Supreme Elder was practically drooling with envy.
Anyway, Zhiyu is his great-grandson, and he raised him personally. Whether the divine bone is in Zhiyu or in himself, it should be just as good.
They're all their bloodline after all. Why let the good stuff go to outsiders?
At this moment, nothingness could no longer sit still. The ink that had condensed in the void gradually changed and finally settled into two words: "You say."
