"…"
Yun Yang was speechless.
'You might as well not have said it!
'He's the creator of heaven and earth, how can we compare?
'Also, he's almost omnipotent when he attains the starry sky. Of course, he has to do it before he attains the starry sky. Why don't you say that he had already done it when he was my age?'
Yun Yang sighed, resigned to his fate.
'Actually, it doesn't matter anymore. Let's just train by fighting. When Emmie wakes up, I'll ask it to think of a way. Even if I can't recover the Soul Quenching Spring, I can at least give the East Celestial Palace an explanation and leave this unreasonable place as soon as possible!'
'I can't afford to offend you, but I can't afford to hide …'
'I hope I'll never set foot on this paradise of the human realm, the holy land of cultivators!'
Yun Yang was completely speechless and helpless towards this lord of the East Celestial Palace.
About twenty days later, Emmie finally woke up.
When Emmie woke up, Yun Yang's eyes were already brimming with tears of joy.
Yun Yang would be lying if he said that he was not afraid of the twenty days of actual combat training. The people he fought these days were not the people he was familiar with, but complete strangers who did not know Yun Yang's background. They only thought that Yun Yang was a half-step Saint Lord demon, so naturally, they were merciless in their attacks, killing him without mercy!
While Yun Yang was actively fighting, he had to be careful of the strength of his counterattack. It would be fine if he really injured or crippled his opponent, as it would not be a problem to heal them. However, if he really killed them, Yun Yang could imagine what Dongfang Haoran would say about him, how he would criticize him, how he would … how he would …
Furthermore, Yun Yang had practiced all of his combat techniques countless times, but only the Divine Edge had he repeatedly used the first three moves to counter the attack.
Under such an extremely disadvantageous situation, Yun Yang could clearly feel that his cultivation base had improved further. His realm was gradually approaching the point of breaking through the realm.
His combat power had more than doubled compared to twenty days ago.
Apart from that, the first three moves of the Destiny Blade Technique had also reached a wondrous state where he could execute them as he wished. He was extremely familiar with them and could command them as if they were part of his body.
Such a tough battle was already difficult enough, but what was even more difficult was Dongfang Haoran's dozens of questions a day. Yun Yang could not take it anymore!
It would be fine if he could defeat this man. In fact, Yun Yang had once been driven into a corner by Dongfang Haoran's question and launched an attack. He had used his strongest technique right off the bat, and he had even met Dongfang Haoran head-on. This was a technique that could kill a second level Saint King, but it could not even shake Dongfang Haoran's protective air shield. The only result was that Yun Yang had only managed to take three steps back!
With such a gap, it was impossible for him to win. Naturally, he would only suffer even more after that …
"Emmie, think of something." Yun Yang immediately pushed the blame to him, "You sucked their Soul Quenching Spring dry earlier, and now they're holding us back and won't let us go … What do you think we should do?"
"Ayaya?" Emmie was confused.
What's going on?
I actually caused so much trouble while I was sleeping?
However, Emmie was thrilled when it saw that there was a segment of lotus root growing out of its lower body. "Ayaya!"
Yes, once I wake up, everything will be fine!
Isn't it just a Soul Quenching Spring?
Before I came into contact with the Soul Quenching Spring, perhaps I didn't even know what it was, but now that I've come into contact with it and sucked all its energy dry … I know what kind of energy it is … How hard can it be to replicate it?
Yun Yang did not want to drag it out any longer.
He, who was in the midst of a battle, suddenly leaped out of the circle and shouted, "I can sense the Spirit's Grave!"
The second-grade Holy Monarch on the other side was completely at a loss. Was this demon crazy? Was the battle between humans and demons something that could be ended with just a sentence from him?!
Dongfang Haoran, who had been hiding at the side, was overjoyed when he heard the news. He sprung up and asked, "Where?"
Yun Yang pointed casually, "Right there!"
He pointed at the sky above Dongfang Haoran's head.
Dongfang Haoran immediately activated his deific consciousness and began to probe.
After a long time, he said, "There's nothing …"
Yun Yang grinned, "Palace Lord, can't you feel it? I thought you've sensed it after being busy for so long? "
Dongfang Haoran blushed. He did not expect that he could not even sense the Spirit's Grave … Could there really be such a reclusive expert in this world who was detached from worldly affairs?
However, when he thought of the fact that these experts had the ability to open up space at will and form their own world … it did not seem unacceptable that they were superior to him.
"Then … shall we begin?" Dongfang Haoran looked at Yun Yang curiously. Even I can't feel it, but this child can feel it and can even go in. This child's fate is truly unparalleled …
He really wanted to follow him in and see the supreme expert up close!
Just as Dongfang Haoran's voice trailed off, Yun Yang sprung up under the watchful eyes of the crowd and vanished into thin air, vanishing from everyone's sight. It was not that the crowd could not sense anything, but they could only feel an unimaginably massive mental energy flash. There was no other trace of it.
Then, Yun Yang returned in a strange manner, shocking the crowd once more. They did not know how he had disappeared just now, and they did not know why he had appeared again.
Looking at Yun Yang's tired face, there was a tinge of joy. Did this mean that the revival of the Soul Quenching Spring was possible?
Then, the crowd watched as Yun Yang waved his hand and a ball of gray aura of the soul fell into the Soul Quenching Spring.
As the gray aura of the soul fell into the Soul Quenching Spring, gray smoke rose from the dried-up Soul Quenching Spring; it was actually starting to revive!
As for Dongfang Haoran, who had witnessed this entire process, although he had a calm expression the entire time, deep within his eyes, there was a flash of confusion. He didn't think that there would actually be such a powerful existence in this world that had surpassed his understanding. He was able to turn the Soul Quenching Spring, a spiritual creation that could seize the heavens and earth, back to life!?
It wasn't just Dongfang Haoran who was stunned, everyone present was stunned as well. Everyone was looking at this mysterious scene, but they were all pondering a question. Now that the Soul Quenching Spring was beginning to recover … what was that dark gray aura? How could it be so miraculous?
Although this was the main point, it wasn't the most important thing right now. The most important thing was that Sect Master Yun had entered the mysterious Spirit's Graveyard and brought out a treasure that could revive the Soul Quenching Spring. Furthermore, he had directly completed his task!
The subtle feeling of accomplishing something without even knowing it made all the experts present want to curse in their hearts!
There were so many of them, let alone seeing or recognizing anything, they could barely feel anything …
Yet, when they faced Yun Yang, they had to maintain their composure and wear an expression of 'I see' to prove that the experts of the East Celestial Palace were all amazing and knew everything!
Yet, it was obvious that they did not know anything in their bones!
Don't be fooled by the Lord Palace Lord's relaxed expression, as if everything was under his control. He would never be any better than them!
Therefore, when they heard Yun Yang say those words in a reserved manner, all the experts of the East Celestial Palace had a bad feeling.
"The Spirit's Grave lives up to its name!"
The Lord Palace Lord said.
Yun Yang chuckled dryly, "You're too kind. You're too kind …"
All the experts were speechless for a good while.
According to their understanding of the Lord Palace Lord over the years, the Lord Palace Lord must be cursing in his heart right now. He must be as baffled as they were.
In fact, for the Palace Lord to be able to pretend to be so confident, I understand that it must be very difficult for him to do so. However, he was pretending.
He did it … What should we do?
We can't show our cowardice. The Lord Palace Lord wants his face, but do we not?
"The Spirit's Graveyard lives up to its name, hahaha …" Every one of them had the air of an immortal and were confident as they praised in a reserved manner.
…
Yun Yang could finally leave the East Celestial Palace with a proper reason.
He had fulfilled Dongfang Haoran's request, and he had done it in the best and highest way possible!
Not only was the Soul Quenching Spring as good as new, but according to Emmie, the spring had undergone such a change. It could not be rebuilt without destruction, and with the nourishment of primordial energy, its effect was even stronger than before. Whether the Soul Quenching Spring was destroyed by Yun Yang or Emmie, it was more than enough to make up for it. However, it still needed hundreds of years to nourish and recover …
To the people of the East Celestial Palace, hundreds of years was still considered time.
Therefore, everyone was very happy.
Based on this premise, Yun Yang bade his farewell without another word.
Dongfang Haoran was naturally not happy about this, but he was no longer in a position to make Yun Yang stay.
He wore a rare dark expression, as if he was going to fight someone with all his might.
"You must be extra careful when you leave this time. Never, ever!" Dongfang Haoran sighed. "I've never thought of letting you leave so early. Fate makes fools of people … Sigh!"
Yun Yang had long sensed this. From the three conditions that Dongfang Haoran had raised, it was not difficult to tell that the latter had never thought of letting him leave.
Furthermore, Dongfang Haoran did not have any ill intentions. He really only wanted to groom Yun Yang and make him rise to the next level, so that he would have the power to protect himself.
Looking at Dongfang Haoran's unhappy face, Yun Yang could not bear to see him leave, but he insisted, "How could I not know that senior is thinking for me? However, I must leave. If I'm always protected by you … I'm afraid I won't have any achievements in the future."
"Nonsense, how can you not have any achievements here? Don't tell me that those who cultivate here for their entire lives only end up with no achievements? "
Dongfang Haoran said angrily, "With your current progress, I can let you step into the level of a Saint in a month at most. Within a year, you can even reach the third level of a Saint! When that time comes, you can go wherever you want! "
"Now, I've just pushed you to a position where the wind and waves are the fiercest. It's the time when everyone's eyes are on you, and you want to go out and wander around at this critical juncture? Do you know that you're the continent's hero now, but there are too many who are not convinced by your title … Moreover … "
Dongfang Haoran seemed like he wanted to say something, but after some thought, he swallowed his words and changed the topic.
"The Bound of Universe has always been filled with peerless geniuses and heroes, but there have always been despicable, shameless, and jealous villains. The Demon Race's lapdogs are not uncommon either … Do you think that everyone in this world is good? That they will all be kind to you? "
Dongfang Haoran was exasperated. "Even if your cultivation base has improved and you look like you can protect yourself, you're going out with a fox's head and you can't change as you please. If you're really killed, as long as the other party feigns ignorance, not only will you die in vain, we who want to avenge you and seek justice won't even have the right to speak up!"
Dongfang Haoran said angrily, "Haven't you considered these things at all?"
Yun Yang mused, "Senior's words are reasonable, but the higher the level of cultivation in the Bound of Universe, the more emphasis is placed on the state of mind and the law of karma. Are there really high-level experts who are willing to risk the rebound of their inner demons to commit such a despicable act? Aren't they afraid that the path ahead will be cut off and that it's hard to walk on the path of Dao? "
Dongfang Haoran chuckled and said, "Your thinking … seems reasonable, but it's actually biased … Let me ask you, what's the prerequisite for the rebound of the inner demons? At least, you have to have a conscience in your heart to do so, right? If a person has done countless evil deeds, why would he think that killing you is wrong? He will only think that what he's doing is right and that it's a hindrance in his heart if he doesn't kill you … Then, where does the so-called inner demons come from? "
"Just like the Demon Race or the human scum who's betrayed and defected to the Demon Race. From their standpoint, it's the right thing for them to kill you. It's what they should do. Why would they say that it's hard to walk on the path of Dao? "
"Your identity is important now, but don't think too highly of yourself and think that you're untouchable, alright?"
"As long as it's a matter of perspective, anyone, any living being, might have a reason to kill you!"
Dongfang Haoran sucked in a deep breath. "Since you've made up your mind, I'll tell you one last thing. Only those with a bottom line have shame, morality, and karma. But if there's no bottom line … then everyone has to be careful!"
Yun Yang said, "If that's the case, won't good people suffer a lot? If evil people don't have retribution, why are there so many people who abide by the rules and be good people? "
Dongfang Haoran asked faintly, "Evil people don't necessarily have retribution, but do good people only want retribution?"
It was a light question, but Yun Yang's heart was shaken.
Was being a good person only for retribution?
Yun Yang fell into an unprecedented silence, speechless for a moment.
"Since it's not, why do you keep it in your heart?"
"Will you give up being a good person because good people don't have retribution? Can you stop being a good person because evil people don't have retribution? Is there a price to pay for being a good person? "
Dongfang Haoran walked forward slowly, his voice filled with a sense of righteousness.
Yun Yang was still silent as he followed behind him, feeling that the path in his heart was suddenly broadened infinitely.
Not bad, not bad!
Not bad indeed!
I'm not being a good person for any reason! I just, simply want to be a person with a clear conscience!
