“Her?” Yun Wuhan echoed, his brow furrowed in confusion. He yearned to know what Yun Tianlong had witnessed within his son’s soul.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Yun Tianlong spoke cautiously. “Are those… truly…?”
Yun Lintian met his gaze with a firm nod. “Indeed. They are Senior Mythical Beasts. Each has entrusted me with their bloodline and soul.” freewebnvel.com
Shock coursed through Yun Tianlong. Mythical Beasts were legendary beings, their power only seconded to the Primordial Gods themselves. He couldn’t fathom why such revered creatures would choose to bind themselves to Yun Lintian. Yet, for now, he held his questions in check. Though curiosity gnawed at him, Yun Wuhan wisely steered the conversation away from the cryptic exchange. “We are simply overjoyed to have you back safely,” he said, relief evident in his voice as he patted his son’s shoulder.
Yun Lintian’s expression darkened, however. “Dad,” he said, his voice heavy, “I fear our respite may be short-lived.”
Yun Wuhan’s face immediately mirrored his son’s seriousness. “Tell us about it,” he urged.
Yun Lintian then recounted the events that transpired with Qing Shui, detailing the betrayal of the True Gods within the so-called Holy Lands, and the chilling implication of the Primordial Gods’ potential involvement.
Yun Tianlong, with his deeper understanding of the Divine Realm’s politics, grew increasingly somber. “Could this be the calamity I foresaw?” he muttered under his breath, a tremor of dread running through him.
“The motivations behind their actions remain a mystery” Yun Lintian admitted, frustration ctching lines on his forehead. “No matter how much I ponder it, I cannot grasp their true intent.” A wave of worry washed over Yun Wuhan. “This puts you in grave danger,” he said, his voice thick with concern. “Perhaps venturing into the Divine Realm is no longer the wisest course of action.” Yun Lintian, however, offered a reassuring smile. “It’s fine, Dad. Though the Misty Cloud Palace resides within the Divine Moon God Clan’s territory, which falls under the umbrella of the Iloly Lands, I am confident in my ability to defend myself. After all, I have weathered far worse storms.”
Despite his son’s bravado, a sliver of unease settled in Yun Wuhan’s gut. The revelation of the Primordial Gods’ potential involvement cast a long shadow over their reunion, leaving a sense of foreboding that hung heavy in the air.
In an effort to assuage his father’s worries, Yun Lintian channeled his spatial power with a silent thought. His form shimmered and then vanished completely, leaving Yun Wuhan and Yun Ling speechless. They hadn’t even detected a flicker of energy fluctuation before his disappearance. “Such mastery of spatial power!” Yun Tianlong exclaimed, a hint of awe in his voice. “I’ve never witnessed anything like it.” freewebnσvel.cѳm
“Indeed, spatial power,” Yun Lintian’s voice echoed from behind them, causing all three to jump
in surprise. He had reappeared silently, a testament to his control.
Yun Wuhan felt a surge of renewed respect for his son. With this ability, escape would be a breeze if necessary.
“And that’s not all,” Yun Lintian declared, channeling his divine energy. With a resonant hum, ten magnificent elemental dragons materialized around him. Each colossal creature embodied a fundamental element, a breathtaking display of power.
Yun Wuhan and the others gaped in awe at the majestic dragons. They intuitively understood that a single one of these beings could obliterate the entire Azure Kingdom. The raw power radiating from them was overwhelming.
Yun Tianlong regarded his descendant with a speechless reverence. Words failed him in the face of Yun Lintian’s extraordinary abilities. If Yun Lintian had claimed to be a Primordial God
reborn, Yun Tianlong wouldn’t have batted an eye.
“I see now,” Yun Wuhan spoke, his expression solemn. “But you must exercise caution. Remember, son, I only have one of you.”
Yun Lintian’s heart warmed at his father’s unwavering concern. Yet, a sudden, unsettling thought wormed its way into his mind. Had he truly transmigrated into this world’s Yun Lintian, or was this existence entirely his own?
If the former were true, wouldn’t his return to his own world create a troubling paradox – two Yun Lintians existing simultaneously? And what fate awaited this world’s Yun Lintian in his absence?
Oblivious to the maelstrom of questions churning within Yun Lintian, Yun Wuhan scanned the lake with a frown. “The energy here feels considerably depleted.”
Yun Lintian sheepishly rubbed his nose. “Apologies, Dad. I may have gotten a little carried away”
Yun Wuhan chuckled, waving a dismissive hand. “No harm done, son. You’ve earned this place fair and square. Besides, there’s still plenty left for the clan to cultivate with” He cast Yun Lintian a curious glance. “Speaking of which, have you made a breakthrough?”
“Indeed,” Yun Lintian admitted, a hint of surprise still lingering in his voice. “I’m now in the middle stage of the High God Realm.”
Yun Ling’s jaw dropped. This was the first time she’d learned of her brother’s true strength. Yun Wuhan and the others, however, remained silent, their previous explanations serving their
purpose.
A trace of reluctance flickered in Yun Wuhan’s eyes. “Are you leaving today?”
“Yes, Dad,” Yun Lintian confirmed with a resolute nod.
Yun Wuhan released a sigh of acceptance. “Very well. Let’s head back for now!”
The group returned to the Yun Clan manor, where a week of bustling activity awaited them. Countless visitors had arrived with gifts, transforming the grand hall into a mountain of well-wishes. The Yun Clan elders, despite their exhaustion, couldn’t wipe the triumphant smiles off their faces. It had felt like living in a dream.
Upon their arrival, the elders eagerly offered reports, which Yun Wuhan simply dismissed them. He instead went to Yun Lintian’s courtyard for a final, intimate meal.
“Con Vun Wuhan haran a flicker of milt clouding his over. “I have no iden of unur mother’s
current state, but I know she must be enduring hardship. Please, find her and bring her home.” He raised a cup of wine to his lips, taking a long, mournful drink.
Yun Lintian’s expression hardened. “Don’t worry, Dad. Even if I’ve never met her, she’s my mother. I will find her, no matter the cost.”
A slow nod from Yun Wuhan followed. He then conjured a shimmering image in the air – a woman of breathtaking beauty. Yun Lintian felt an instant, undeniable pull towards her.
“This is how she looks like.” Yun Wuhan said as he looked at the woman in the image with endless tenderness in his eyes.
“This is… my mother?” Yun Lintian murmured in a daze.
