Chapter 298 – Soul Gothic

“Come on, release your Xuan Gang and try it out, when the Xuan Gang awakens, you should naturally understand how it should be used.” Yun Canghai said smilingly.

Yun Che nodded, indeed, when his Xuan Gang awakened, there was an additional strand of soul connection within his heart and soul …… and the Xuan Gang’s soul connection, and the feeling it brought to Yun Che was not at all like a new power, but rather, like a new organ that was born within his body. With a very casual movement of his thoughts, a red light flickered above his left arm, and a strand of crimson light silently shot out, floating in front of him, and along with his thoughts, transformed into the shape of a Dragon Que …… In addition to being a different color, it was exactly the same in appearance as his Dragon Que.

Looking at the Xuan Gang in front of him, although its aura of power was far from being able to compare to his grandfather’s, an ineffable sense of excitement still rose in Yun Che’s heart. Looking at his eyes, Yun Canghai smiled contentedly, ”Trust your own senses, it’s not just your power, it’s also a part of your body and soul, and even though it’s the lowest amongst the Xuan Gang, the red color has its benefits. The power of the Xuan Gang, likewise comes from the Xuan Gang’s owner himself, so when releasing the Steel Seeking, it also accelerates the consumption of Xuan Power as well as Spiritual Power, the more powerful the Xuan Gang is, the greater the consumption becomes, and the crimson Xuan Gang is accompanied by the smallest degree of consumption.”

Yun Canghai’s words were naturally just words of comfort. With the lowest level of red-colored Xuan Deity, this so-called “advantage” could be said to be laughable. The Red Xuan Gang began to change under Yun Che’s thoughts, sometimes becoming a sword, sometimes a gun, sometimes turning into a long damask, and even transforming into a leaf, a water droplet, or even a silhouette of a human being. Yun Canghai continued, “Xuan Gang is not just a special power body, it can also be a pure soul body that can perform soul invasion and soul attacks on the enemy.”

“Soul attacks?” Yun Che was surprised, then quickly focused his thoughts, and immediately, his Xuan Gang quickly faded away, eventually becoming shadowless and invisible, transforming into a pure soul body.

The power and magic of the Xuan Gang was once again beyond Yun Che’s expectations.

“Heh heh heh ……” Looking at Yun Che there, excitedly maneuvering his newly awakened Xuan Deity, Yun Canghai continuously nodded his head and smiled, while remembering the time when he had just awakened his Xuan Deity when he was young. As he laughed and smiled, his vision gradually became blurred, once he was so powerful and proud, looking down on everything, in the Illusory Demon Realm, he was the “King” who was only under the “Emperor”, but now, he was so miserable and downtrodden that he caused his own son to live or die without knowing in order to save him, and also inadvertently killed his own grandson! He also inadvertently brought his own grandson into this abyss …… grandson is now nineteen years old, but he has not fulfilled the responsibility of a day as a grandfather, the only thing he can do for him is to consume his own source of power, to help him awaken Xuan Gang in advance.

Over the past hundred years, suffered a lot of loneliness, suffered a lot of hardships and insults, but has always been unwilling to die, is not want to demon emperor a family of important things lost, more do not want to be so worthless to die here.

And now, that important thing has been entrusted to his grandson, his own this remnant of life, also can finally have value to die ……

“Che’er, come over here.”

Yun Che put away his Xuan Deity and came in front of Yun Canghai.

“Back then, when I left the Illusory Demon Realm in order to search for the Demon Emperor, I temporarily entrusted my family’s heavy burden to your father, but there was a huge secret that I did not tell him. This secret is only known to the Demon Emperor clan, and my Yun Clan, and it is all passed down by word of mouth from every term of the Demon Emperor and the head of the Yun Clan, and absolutely no one else knows about it. If the Demon Emperor has truly fallen, then I am the only one left in the world who knows this secret. I’m trapped here, it’s no longer possible for me to have a day to see the light of day again, this secret, I can only inherit it to you …… Che’er, put your ears together.”

In this place, there were only the two of them, the grandparents and the grandson, and it was impossible for anyone to hear them, but Yun Canghai was still so cautious, so it could be seen that this secret was significant. Yun Che did not say anything more, and as instructed, he brought his ear over, and Yun Canghai, in his ear, gently said something in an extremely soft voice.

“Ah? Is this true?” After hearing Yun Canghai’s words, a deep look of shock appeared on Yun Che’s face.

“This matter concerns the future of the entire Illusory Demon Realm, you must keep it in mind, inform the Little Demon Empress who dominates the Illusory Demon Realm today of it, and it must never be known by anyone else.”

Yun Che nodded his head, “I’ve memorized all of Grandpa’s words in my heart. Grandpa, you shouldn’t be too pessimistic, we will definitely be able to find a way to get out, this secret that Grandpa told me, I will keep it firmly, but telling the Little Demon Empress about this matter doesn’t necessarily require me to do it, and it would be best for Grandpa to personally tell her.”

“Hahahahaha!” Yun Canghai laughed in relief, “Hearing you say these words makes me happy. My Yun family owes you nineteen years, grandfather also caused you to be trapped here, but you have not shown the slightest bit of resentment, not only are you willing to recognize me as a grandfather, but you also think of me in everything …… Having a grandson like you is the fortune of my Yun family, and it is also the heavens’ greatest compensation for the hundred years of misery for me, Yun Canghai. I believe that when you meet your real parents in other days, you will definitely not blame them for not protecting you back then, although you are burdened with a strong murderous aura, your nature is extraordinarily good, it seems that that Grandpa Xiao, who raised you up, must be a kind person.”

Yun Che gently nodded, “He is a …… very great grandfather.”

Yun Canghai tilted his head and emotionally said, “I really want to thank him in person, after living for hundreds of years, I’ve never been so grateful to a person …… Che’er, remember what I said before, in the future, be sure to be as filial to him as you would be to your own grandpa, and repay him for his nurturing. ”

Yun Che nodded heavily.

“Good …… I’m tired, I need to rest for a while, you go outside the boundary and feel your newborn Xuan Gang, the more you feel it carefully, the more you’ll realize its infinite wonders.” Yun Canghai closed his eyes and said.

“Yes, Grandfather.” Yun Che nodded his head and walked outside the boundary as he was told. Awakening the Xuan Deity for him, Yun Canghai seemed to have expended an enormous amount of strength, and he had been panting when he spoke earlier.

Walking outside the boundary, Yun Che sat down on the ground and closed his eyes, but instead of thinking about the Xuan Deity, he bitterly thought about how to leave this place.

Yun Canghai was bound to the Xingtian Sword by the chain known as the “Chain of Starfall”, and Yun Che had tried to attack the “Chain of Starfall” with the Dragon Que, but not to mention breaking it, he couldn’t even cause the slightest trauma.

Jasmine had told him earlier that the suppressing power of the Xing Heavenly Sword was connected to Yun Canghai’s heart and soul, and as long as Yun Canghai didn’t die, this suppressing power would always be there, and on the contrary, if he died, this suppressing power would disappear, which was also the reason why it was necessary to kill Yun Canghai before. Now that he knew that Yun Canghai was his grandfather, he was bound to not be able to do anything to him again, so if he wanted to go out himself ……

Yun Che violently opened his eyes, and it was as if his brain was violently pierced by an electric current.

It was impossible for Yun Canghai to have a way to get out from here, otherwise he wouldn’t have been trapped for a hundred years. He didn’t have any other way out besides killing Yun Canghai …… But, just because he couldn’t lay his hands on Yun Canghai didn’t mean that, Yun Canghai wouldn’t lay his hands on himself for the sake of his freedom!

Heavenly Might Soul Suppressing Array is ineffective against himself, then why, Yun Canghai still let him go outside the boundary to sense the Xuan Gang?

And the words he said before …… informing him of that heavenly secret ……

“Grandpa!!!”

Yun Che roared, leapt up violently from the ground and rushed into the boundary, and just as his feet entered the boundary, he froze there ……

Yun Canghai’s head drooped on his chest, even under his startled cry, he was unresponsive, and from his body, not a single breath of life could be felt to exist anymore.

“Grandfather …… grandfather!!!”

The terrifying thought that suddenly flashed across his mind like a nightmare suddenly approached reality, Yun Che’s whole body trembled and madly rushed up, pouncing in front of Yun Canghai’s body.

But what responded to him was not Yun Canghai’s voice, but the sound of the Star Meteor’s Chain falling with a clatter.

The Chains of Starfall that ringed around Yun Canghai’s body suddenly all loosened their restraints and fell down powerlessly, because the blockade of the Chains of Starfall was similarly connected to the locked person’s heart and soul, and when the body fell and the soul perished, the Chains of Starfall would automatically loosen.

Xing Tianjian’s aura, also at this time all of a sudden dissipated without a trace, no longer a trace of heavy and vast pressure, calm as a dead sword.

Yun Canghai’s body, which had been bound for an entire hundred years, finally gained freedom at this moment, and slowly fell forward, collapsing into Yun Che’s arms. Yun Che hugged his grandfather’s body and slowly knelt down to the ground, staring blankly ahead, no sound, no movement, not even tears, as if his soul had left his body in an instant.

“He broke his own heart vein …… He will make such a choice, I am not surprised at all.” Jasmine said faintly.

Yun Che: “……”

Yun Canghai died, as Jasmine said, he died by severing his own heart vein.

He died peacefully, his face was calm, the corner of his mouth was still slightly hung with a smile, it was a kind of pleased and satisfied smile, it was the only thing that could comfort Yun Che …… Behind the smile, there was quietly hidden a deep unwillingness to part with and attachment.

In Yun Che’s ears, at this time, Yun Canghai’s last voice resounded …… before his death, leaving behind the remnants of his soul:

“Che child, during this period of time, grandpa can see that your heart has been remembering a lot of people, a lot of things, and every minute and every second you are longing to be able to go out …… It’s grandpa who is sorry for you, and this is the last thing that grandpa can do for you. Do not be sad, although grandpa went, but for grandpa, this is a dream relief, to be able to meet with you, entrusted to you what can not be put down, grandpa has no more regrets, and no more hang-ups, can be at ease, contented to go to accompany the Demon Emperor …… Not to mention, there are you, as a continuation of grandpa’s life and bloodline. ”

“Che’er, my good child, grandpa didn’t take good care of you in his lifetime, in the other world, grandpa will use all his time and strength to pray for you. The Tianxuan Continent is your home, but the Illusory Demon Realm, is your true hometown. Grandpa hopes that you can return to the Illusory Demon Realm in the future, return to our Yun Clan, and let your parents know that you are still alive and well in this world……. Don’t blame your parents, they must have been tearing their hearts out holding you, missing you for nineteen whole years……. Grandpa’s last Grandpa’s last wish is not for revenge, not for the Demon Emperor clan, but for your …… family to be reunited ……”

Yun Canghai’s last voice faded away, and on Yun Che’s face, two tear tracks finally rolled down…… Above his head, wisps of sand and dust rustled down, and this sand and dust also proved that the suppression of the Xing Heavenly Sword had already completely disappeared, but Yun Che didn’t move for a long time, and he held Yun Canghai’s corpse… …Hugging this blood relative that he had only just recognized and then lost, his entire body was like a sad sculpture.

At the same time, Heavenly Sword Villa.

Ling Jie, who had finished practicing his sword, returned to his courtyard with a hot breath, and just as he was about to enter his room, a Heavenly Sword disciple in sword attire rushed in with hurried footsteps, “Second Youngest Manor Master!”

“Senior Brother Yun Peng ah …… what’s so urgent?” Ling Jie sidestepped his face and puffed out a rough breath.

“First, congratulations to the second young manor master for his divine breakthrough to the tenth level of the Spirit Xuan realm, catching up with the young manor master of that year.” The Heavenly Sword disciple put on a smiling face and said, when Ling Jie made his breakthrough yesterday, it shook the entire Heavenly Sword Villa because when Ling Yun was seventeen years old, he was only at the ninth level of the Spirit Xuan Realm, and Ling Yun’s breakthrough this time around proved that his natural talent had completely surpassed that of Ling Yun. He took out a fire pattern encrusted invitation from his bosom: “This is an invitation from the Burning Sky Sect, the young master of the Burning Sky Sect will go to the Cang Feng Imperial City to marry Princess Cang Yue four days later, and the marriage will be completed seven days later in the Burning Sky Sect’s Yan Yang Hall, and the Lord of the Manor happens to be occupied with something after the seven days, so he asks the second youngest Lord of the Manor to go there on his behalf, saying that the second youngest Lord of the Manor hasn’t been out of the Heavenly Sword Villa for nearly two years, and he just happens to take advantage of his breakthrough and goes out to take a walk. ”

“Burning Jedi City …… and Princess Sister!?” Ling Jie a jolt, “whoosh” of the invitation in the hands of the Heavenly Sword disciple grabbed over, opened with a sweep of the eyes, eyebrows a down sunk: “How can this be …… not right! This must not be the princess sister’s intention, the princess sister is the boss of ……”

He repeatedly looked at the invitation several times, and finally his eyes lingered on the date for a moment, his brows wrinkled, and he seemed to have made some decision, put away the invitation, and said with a serious face, “Senior Brother Yunpeng, go and tell father that seven days later, I will go to the Burning Sky Sect on his behalf.”
