Mission Scroll
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Above Tang Jin's Nascent Soul, wisps of black Qi swirled endlessly. The black Qi transformed into skeletons and demons, invading Tang Jin's Nascent Soul.
In the outside world, Tang Jin stared blankly at the ice coffin beside him. He stared fixedly at Willow Catkin, mumbling incoherently as if he had lost his mind.
Hiss — —
Suddenly, a bolt of purple lightning flashed above Tang Jin's Nascent Soul. It coiled around the Nascent Soul and struck the black Qi outside.
After being struck by the lightning, the black Qi shrank back as if it had a life of its own. It dissipated quite a bit.
Bolts of lightning emerged from Tang Jin's Nascent Soul, resisting the black Qi. They seemed to be on par with the black Qi.
After the lightning appeared on his Nascent Soul, Tang Jin's expression regained some color. He was no longer as listless as before. Still leaning against the ice coffin, Tang Jin's eyes slowly closed.
"Haha, I was right." Seeing this, Tang Jun Ge stroked his white beard and nodded with a smile. "Cultivators with Thunder Spirit Roots are naturally very resistant to inner demons. With the Crystal Heart Pendant that I gave him, he should have no problem getting through this ordeal."
The black Qi seemed to be enraged by the lightning from Tang Jin's Nascent Soul. Instead of retreating, it charged forward, gathering even more black Qi and continuously colliding with Tang Jin's Nascent Soul.
The black Qi and the lightning began a tug-of-war in Tang Jin's Dantian. They went back and forth, neither giving way to the other. No one could do anything to the other.
Tang Jin's brows were also furrowed. Images of his time with Willow Catkin flashed through his mind. Especially the moment when Willow Catkin blocked the Soul Shattering Arrow for Tang Jin, and the serene smile on Willow Catkin's face when he died, it seemed to be fixed in Tang Jin's heart, constantly reminding Tang Jin of something, causing Tang Jin's heart to ache as if it was being stabbed by a knife.
If an ordinary person fell into such an inner demon, they would definitely lose themselves and be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. However, Tang Jin was different.
Every time Tang Jin was about to fall into the illusion, the Nascent Soul would flash out bolts of lightning and strike the black fog surrounding the Nascent Soul. Tang Jin would then be jolted awake.
Just like that, Tang Jin's brows were tightly furrowed and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was constantly struggling between illusion and reality.
Slowly, as the wisps of black Qi continued to corrode Tang Jin's Nascent Soul, the lightning on Tang Jin's Nascent Soul also began to retreat. At that moment, the Crystal Heart Pendant hanging around Tang Jin's neck suddenly shone.
Rays of golden light emerged from the heart inside the Crystal Heart Pendant and surged into Tang Jin's body. They turned into streaks of light and rushed towards Tang Jin's Nascent Soul.
As if it knew that strong reinforcements were coming, the purple lightning on the Nascent Soul also began to crackle and flash violently and collide with the black Qi.
The black Qi that was attacked from both front and back turned into skeletons and demons. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they resisted the golden light and lightning. Although they were at a disadvantage, they stubbornly held on.
"Why is it so serious?" Tang Jun Ge frowned and looked at Tang Jin anxiously. He muttered to himself, "Why is Jin Er's inner demon so serious? It doesn't make sense … "
In Tang Jin's Dantian, the three colors of purple, gold, and black flickered continuously. Tang Jin's expression alternated between calmness, pain, and joy.
Just as the three colors were in a stalemate and it was difficult to determine the victor, Tang Jin's Nascent Soul suddenly emitted a golden light. The golden light was different from the pure golden light from the Crystal Heart Pendant. The golden light on Tang Jin's Nascent Soul was so golden that it was white. It was platinum.
When the platinum light appeared on Tang Jin's Nascent Soul, the black Qi that was constantly entangling with it trembled as if it had seen its natural predator. It actually wanted to escape!
But how could the golden light let it do as it wished? The platinum light on Tang Jin's Nascent Soul flickered violently and instantly turned into a golden net. It stopped the black Qi and twisted it into the net.
When the black Qi came into contact with the platinum light, it seemed to be greatly damaged and a large part of it was suddenly eroded.
The black Qi that was stopped by the golden net began to struggle left and right, as if it wanted to break through the golden net's encirclement. However, the golden net tightened around it and gradually destroyed it.
"Screech!"
The moment it was completely destroyed by the golden net, the black Qi actually let out a roar that seemed to have materialized. One could even hear the strong resentment and unwillingness in the roar.
"What is that?!" Tang Jun Ge stared fixedly at Tang Jin's Dantian and exclaimed in surprise.
The appearance of the golden light was very abrupt, as if it was derived from Tang Jin's Nascent Soul. Tang Jun Ge had never heard of anyone's Nascent Soul that could give birth to such a golden light that was so strong against inner demons.
The golden light wrapped around Tang Jin's Nascent Soul, making Tang Jin's Nascent Soul look like a Golden Arhat, majestic and inviolable.
Suddenly, the Nascent Soul and Tang Jin's eyes opened at the same time. A bright light flashed in their eyes, and there was not even the slightest bit of listlessness and confusion from before!
"Grandfather, I've thought it through. Thank you. "Standing up, Tang Jin bowed deeply to Tang Jun Ge. How could he not understand Tang Jun Ge's good intentions by now?
With a gratified smile, Tang Jun Ge gently patted Tang Jin's shoulder and said, "Go, do what you need to do."
Turning his head, he looked at the ice coffin behind him. The Willow Catkin inside still seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Tang Jin's eyes showed a touch of affection and reluctance, but he was no longer absent-minded like before.
Slowly lifting the ice coffin, Tang Jin and Tang Jun Ge walked out of the ice cellar and placed the ice coffin in the open space outside the ice cellar.
Gazing affectionately at the Willow Catkin in the ice coffin, Tang Jin seemed to have thought of something again. The corners of his mouth curved into a smile, but there was an unconcealable sadness in that smile.
Tang Jin had already destroyed his inner demon. No matter how much he tried to recall, he would not fall into his own reverie and be unable to extricate himself. Therefore, Tang Jun Ge did not stop him.
Seeing Tang Jin's reluctance, Tang Jun Ge stood to the side with his hands behind his back and asked softly, "Have you made your decision?"
"I've made it." Tang Jin also replied softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the Willow Catkin in the ice coffin. "I've let it go. I've let it go. I'll let it all go with the wind. Even if I keep Xu 'er's body, I won't be able to fool myself. Now that my inner demon has been eliminated, what else is there to be unhappy about? What I need to do is to work hard and accumulate strength to avenge Xu 'er. That's all. "
"Good, good, good." Tang Jun Ge said with satisfaction, "It seems like you've really gotten over it."
Nodding, Tang Jin once again looked at Willow Catkin in the ice coffin. Finally, he gave Willow Catkin a deep look. Then, he gently pushed the lid of the ice coffin with his right hand and pushed it open.
As the lid of the ice coffin was pushed open, streams of air flowed in from the sides of the ice coffin and turned into balls of cold air that blew on Willow Catkin's body. Before Willow Catkin's body could corrode, it was covered in a thin layer of ice.
"Grandpa." Tang Jin slowly shifted his gaze and looked at Tang Jun Ge.
Tang Jun Ge nodded and walked to the side of the ice coffin. He first looked at Willow Catkin inside, then shifted his gaze to Tang Jin beside him. After receiving confirmation from Tang Jin again, Tang Jun Ge sighed heavily and placed his right hand on top of the ice coffin. Waves of white light scattered down.
As the white light in Tang Jun Ge's hand scattered on Willow Catkin's body, the body of Willow Catkin also suddenly emitted white light. The thin layer of ice on the body of Willow Catkin kept melting as the white light flashed.
Within the white light, Willow Catkin's body began to become more and more illusory. In the end, it was assimilated into the white light and drifted in the air.
At this time, Tang Jun Ge had already retracted his hand and walked to the side.
Tang Jin stood beside the ice coffin and watched as Willow Catkin's body turned into white light spots starting from its feet and drifted into the air, illuminating this space.
Tang Jin stretched out his hand and silently felt the white light spots drilling through his fingers, as if he was stroking Willow Catkin. Suddenly, tears flowed from his eyes.
A man does not cry easily, only when he is deeply hurt. As strong and cold-blooded as Tang Jin was, it was not that he did not have feelings. It was just that he had always hidden his emotions deeply and quietly so that no one could discover them.
In this way, he quietly watched Willow Catkin turn into white light spots and drift into the air. From head to toe, it took a whole incense stick's worth of time before Willow Catkin completely turned into light spots and drifted away. Tang Jin also cried for a whole incense stick's worth of time.
When Willow Catkin's body was no longer in the ice coffin, Tang Jin wiped away his tears and turned his head to look at Tang Jun Ge behind him. He suddenly smiled and said, "Grandpa, let's go."
"Good, you are indeed a descendant of the Tang family!" Tang Jun Ge laughed heartily and walked to Tang Jin's side. He patted Tang Jin's back and walked out of the backyard with Tang Jin.
Tang Jin's back no longer showed any trace of reluctance.
It had been half a month since he returned home. Tang Jin practiced his spear every day and cultivated his cultivation method. It could be said that his life was quite comfortable.
It had been a few years since Tang Jin left home. Tang Jin hadn't been able to spend time with her parents. It wasn't easy for her to return home, so Tang Jin spent more time with her parents. The family was also very happy.
Tang Jin's tense mind also relaxed. Without experiencing the storms and waves outside, he would never know why home was a sheltered harbor.
At home, Tang Jin cultivated his body and mind. He almost bought two precious birds and went out to walk them every day when he had nothing to do.
Perhaps it was because he was young and it was not the age where he should be content with his lot. Tang Jin stayed at home for a few days. He felt that the speed of his cultivation improvement and the speed of his comprehension of martial arts had dropped significantly. Tang Jin felt that if he stayed at home, he would not be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in ten years.
Only a cultivation monster like Tang Jin would be dissatisfied with the speed of his cultivation improvement. One had to know that outside, it took thousands of years to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. There were even many cultivators who could not reach the Nascent Soul Stage in their lifetime.
Suddenly, Tang Jin thought of the two scrolls he got from the Level 51 gift pack. It just so happened that he was free now, so he opened it and see what it was.
Tang Jin's left hand shook and two scrolls, one black and one white, appeared in his hand. Looking at the black mission scroll and the white instance scroll in his hand, Tang Jin began to feel troubled. Which one should he open first?
In the end, Tang Jin chose to open the mission scroll.
