Chapter 842: I Never Knew You Were This Magnanimous?
When they came to the place where the ancient runes were, Yue Yang entered a small underground space along the tunnel opened by the mountain earthworms.
The ancient rune inscription was carved onto the obelisk that stood in the center of a large rune pattern.
Energy overflowing.
Luminously shining.
The sight was beyond belief.
The surrounding underground space had been opened up by the mountain earthworms, leaving only the columnar rocks that were protected by the rune’s energy and the sole rune obelisk. Yue Yang had seen this kind of rune obelisk in the Heaven Realm. Most of them had several brocade patterns on it, some even maintaining a certain amount of energy, but they wouldn’t normally have ancient runes.
However, Yue Yang could see the type of attributes and compatibility of this ancient rune at a glance.
If he was forced to merge with the ancient rune, he could actually do so
But as someone who possessed the World Creation Jewel and ‘World’, he did not have to integrate all the ancient runes into himself. As he improved, Yue Yang hoped that the people around him would also become stronger, as only then can they stay with him forever. Moreover, even if this ancient rune was integrated, it will not achieve the maximum potential effect on Yue Yang. It was better to leave it to a more suitable person, such as this lovely sister of his, who was full of vitality and undying energy.
The attributes of this ancient rune originated from the Ancient Forest. If it was fused with the girl who possessed the Ancient Titan Tree, Green Light Tree Demoness and Intense Poison, he didn’t know what the outcome would be either. Just thinking about it had already made him brimming with anticipation!
However, her strength was still slightly insufficient.
It’s still too early to have her undergo the fusion now.
We’ll wait a little while longer, to the stage where she advances her cultivation to a higher level. She can do it, for sure.
“It’s a very good ancient rune, isn’t it?” Yue Bing saw that Yue Yang was silent and assumed that this ancient rune was extremely difficult to cast fusion on. She thought that even her brother could not successfully do so for the time being, making her slightly excited and regretful. The regretful feeling was because she wouldn’t be able to see her brother fusing this ancient rune with her own eyes, whereas the excitement was because she assumed if this rune was so hard to fuse with, it would definitely bring huge improvements for her brother’s cultivation.
“Of course,” Yue Yang patted her small head lightly.
I want to practice hard to help you, brother. Yue Bing clenched her small fist and secretly made up her mind.
“These runes seem to be a little different,” Xue Wu Xia jotted down a draft of the complicated rune patterns, before going back to study it with the Sickly Beauty. In the process of their transcription, she found a difference.
“Yes, the usage of these ancient runes is different from how we use them now. Besides, it seems to have some sort of profound meaning,” Princess Qian Qian was also interested as she was recently comprehending how to completely transform the Prison Emperor’s Divine Sword into her own divine weapon. Yue Yang wanted to help her but as she was very competitive by nature, she refused. However, she did not refuse Yue Yang’s suggestion to name it the “Tiger Prison Divine Sword” in the future when she would successfully transform the sword into her one and only divine weapon. Upon seeing the very ingenious, profound and fascinating combination of these ancient rune patterns, it seemed to spark a new inspiration from her heart as she was enthusiastic about giving her own opinions towards the transcription.
“Brother, what can I do to help?” Yue Bing hoped that she could be of use, even if it was a trivial matter.
“Keep your mind ethereal and in peace, I will try to record part of the ancient rune patterns in your small head,” Of course, Yue Yang would not tell her that this was, in fact, the beginning of her fusion with the rune, just like the inheritance of his knowledge.
Although Yue Yang wasn’t able to perform that kind of knowledge inheritance, it wasn’t impossible to inscribe a group of ancient rune patterns into her mind.
Yue Bing’s complete cooperation, unreserved trust and void of distracting thoughts have also contributed as the keys to the successful fusion.
Nevertheless.
It also took a full two days to entirely complete the initial inscription.
As for the most important ancient rune, ‘Ancient Forest’, Yue Yang will not move it for the time being, as it will not be too late to wait for Yue Bing’s strength and cultivation to improve.
In the past two days, Xue Wu Xia and Princess Qian Qian have both harvested their results respectively. What made student Yue Yang happy was that they all got along— the two would hang out during the daylight and when Yue Bing fell asleep at night, they didn’t reject the idea of undergoing Body Fusion cultivation with him, despite not really wanting to do so in front of Yue Bing. Perhaps because they were afraid of waking Yue Bing up, both parties gave up persisting after they practiced a little. Even after the cultivation, student Yue Yang’s hand had sneakily caressed them a few times and he even fervently planted a few kisses, only to have a few intimidating, yet not truly angry glances directed back at him..
It was normally impossible for them to act like this, so consider it a small reward on this journey!
Yue Yang was very satisfied with the progressive communication between the three of them.
If there is a first, there is always a second time as well.
Now that he had a successful start, Yue Yang believed that things will get better and better in the future. As he would invite them along to practice their cultivation, it would slowly become a habit for them and things would work out naturally in the future.
Returning to the Heaven Stairway, after Yue Yang had a discussion with the Night Empress and the others, he decided to go to the Western Heaven Realm alone to break into the Land of Trials. With the experience of Empress Fei Wen Li, he was confident that he could clear the 4th Level Desire Valley, the 5th Level Beast Valley and the 6th Level Demon Valley without assistance. If these three stages were all cleared, he would return to the stairway and lend everybody’s strength to attack the 7th Level, ‘Life Valley’.
Using the Three Realms Compass, Yue Yang returned to Conqueror City.
It was discovered that Fatty Hai, Ye Kong and others were making the veterans in the city practice hard.
Seeing that these guys looked even more fatigued than a bunch of dogs, student Yue Yang slightly expressed his deep sympathy and condolences, before going to the ancient Land of Trials without looking back.
On the outskirts of the Land of Trials, he met an ‘acquaintance’.
The snake-haired demon man.
Young Master Chang Feng from the Four Great Families.
The current Young Master Chang Feng was even more embarrassed than he was when he saw them in the Earth Demon Palace as he was surrounded by groups of soldiers of the Central Palace, but that was not the worst part. There was a high Ranker at the level of a Deputy Palace Master, who was suppressing the violent snake-haired demon man. Farther in the outer circle, there was a group of fallen warriors from the Dark Realm, standing like slaves on the outermost periphery. Although they had large numbers, their status was as low as ants. In front of the Central Palace’s army, they were not even qualified to raise their heads. Every single one of them bowed their heads and obeyed given orders, not daring to make any sudden movements.
In the most conspicuous place in the Land of Trials, there were rows of wooden pilings.
A chain was hanging from above.
On the chain, a row of decapitated heads hung and dangled densely. These were either mercenaries who tried to enter or those who had escaped from the inside and failed to break through.
Like the friends of Lord Ling Yun, the three teams Eight Desolations, Warsong and Snow Field, they were almost completely wiped out as their heads were covered with iron ropes. Even the powerful leaders were no exception to this brutality.
If it were not for the gruesome killing being on such an arrogant display, it would not have flamed a fuming rage of anger in Yue Yang’s heart.
These people barely had any relations with Yue Yang.
However, the arrogant slaughter of the dead in the Central Palace made Yue Yang extremely resentful.
Because of this, Yue Yang decided to take action and be a busybody. He wanted to let the soldiers of the Central Palace have a taste of their own medicine. “How lively,” Student Yue Yang floated down from the sky, and everyone, including the aggressively screaming Deputy Palace Master and the gradually retreating snake-haired demon man, didn’t notice his arrival.
“It’s you?” The snake-haired demon man finally recognized student Yue Yang.
“Huh?” On the contrary, the Deputy Palace Master who looked fierce and vicious, didn’t know Yue Yang at all. As long as he was concerned, there was no such person as Yue Yang that existed in his information report.
“How did you become like this? Did you change your job to be a beggar?” Yue Yang descended next to the snake-haired demon man and scanned his figure thoroughly. He saw that the snake-haired demon man had the attire of a beggar[1] and he instantly knew that he had been miserably beaten up. If the Young Master of the Dugu Family, Chang Feng, was in his prime and had the Mirror of Pain in his hands, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to fight. But for now…how ironic this is!
T/L note: [1] Means that your outfit was in shambles, tattered and resembled the clothing of a beggar.
“It’s hard to explain it in words!” The snake-haired demon man sighed emotionally. He suddenly remembered something and grabbed Yue Yang’s hand, “Is the Mirror of Pain with you?”
“You want it back?” Student Yue Yang forgot to tell this guy that once any treasure gets into his hands, it will be difficult to take it back from him again.
“No, it’s not like that,” The reaction of the snake-haired demon man was unexpected by Yue Yang.
He shook his hands repetitively, “In fact, I always thought it was the curse that year that turned me into a serpent man. However, when I lost the Mirror of Pain, I found out that the power of the curse was gradually losing its hold on my body. Although my appearance cannot be restored for the time being, the power of the curse is indeed weakening. I can tell you with absolute certainty that the abnormal changes in my body were caused by the Mirror of Pain. In this way, you may not believe it, but I am here to say very sincerely, that the Mirror of Pain should not be used anymore. Otherwise, you will definitely become like me. The sub-divine artifact looks harmless on the surface, but there must be some unknown cursing power hidden in it. If you use it too much, the curse will accumulate, don’t be fooled by its appearance as a sub-artifact. By the way, to the young lady who had picked it up, please clarify this to her properly! I definitely don’t want to get the Mirror of Pain back, but tell her to discard it as soon as possible. It must not be used at all!”
Yue Yang glanced at him strangely, “Was it because of this that you came back? You were that magnanimous?”
The snake-haired demon man said in an angry voice, “If I wasn’t worried that the epic young lady would become a snake-haired beauty, I wouldn’t come back here just to suffer. Didn’t you see it? Just now, I was almost killed by that guy!”
Yue Yang couldn’t help being a little touched. This guy was rather worthy to be friends with.
At the very least, once he knew that the treasure was harmful, he didn’t hesitate to come back to inform him. Had it been someone else who had their treasure robbed but knew of its curse afterwards, they would have been celebrating in glee long ago.
Of course, student Yue Yang looked nonchalant on the surface.
Waving his hand, “I will tell her what you have said, so what other good news do you have?”
The snake-haired demon man was exasperated and he rolled his eyes, “I’m being serious, so be serious as well. You really have to make it clear to her, otherwise it will be too late when she becomes a snake-haired beauty. If she likes the type of mirror-like treasures, I can figure out a way to find something elsewhere and give her another one, but the Mirror of Pain really can’t be used anymore!”
Yue Yang dozed off as he heard his words, “You’re so noisy.”
With that casual attitude of his, the snake-haired demon man was fuming and almost jumped in a rage, “I have already told you the truth, it’s your choice if you want to believe it! I’m going to take my leave, so don’t regret it!”
Yue Yang smiled and waved, “Have a safe trip back, I won’t be sending you off!”
The snake-haired demon man was so angry to the point where he felt as if his lungs were going to explode, “I have never seen someone like you in my life. It’s not like I like that young lady, so why are you getting jealous? I just think she resembles my sister!”
As soon as Yue Yang heard this, his attitude improved immediately and he held his hand, “Why didn’t you say so?”
The snake-haired demon man became even more angry and forced his hands free, “Get the Hell away from me, you bastard!”
The fierce-looking Deputy Palace Master, who was ignored as he stood opposite of the two, suddenly stepped forward and sneered wildly, “Have you two finished talking? If it’s enough, it’s about time to send you guys on the road to the afterlife!
“Shut up!” Yue Yang and the snake-haired demon man yelled back in unison, “Nothing here concerns you, so just scram[2] aside!”
