Chapter 661 - 657: Nine Yang Void Realm

Chapter 661: Chapter 657: Nine Yang Void Realm

In War Dragon City, Lin Hao’s return to the Lin family alarmed all its high-ranking members.

When Lin Tianxiao, the two Lin family elders, and Yi Mingcheng learned of Lin Hao’s cultivation level, they were utterly stunned.

"The entire Lin family is moving to the Heaven-Stepping Sect? Hao’Er, is that really a good idea? Would the Sect Leader even agree?" Hearing Lin Hao’s plan to relocate the whole family, the two Lin family elders said little else, finding the idea simply unbelievable.

Although elder-level figures from major sects had been visiting constantly over the past few months, a minor family was simply insignificant compared to a sect.

They had heard of Lin Hao’s countless exploits, each one more legendary than the last. But this involved an entire family moving into a sect. How could the sect possibly let Lin Hao do as he pleased?

"I swear, for a bunch of old men, you sure are clueless. It’s just the Heaven-Stepping Sect. This kid can play with it however he wants."

The turtle egg piped up from the side, its voice full of contempt.

"Get lost!"

Showing no mercy, Lin Hao sent it flying out of sight with a single kick.

The members of the Lin family thought for a moment and understood.

For Lin Hao to have reached the Third Layer of Spirit Transformation Realm at his age, he could join not just the Heaven-Stepping Sect, but even a divine sect on the Celestial Yang Continent.

"Alright, we’ll listen to you!" In the end, after exchanging a look, the two Lin family elders and Lin Tianxiao made the final call and approved the relocation plan.

"I’ll go make the preparations." Yi Mingcheng had become an influential figure in the Lin family. After Lin Hao had reforged his bloodline, he now possessed a battle physique, and his cultivation had even surpassed that of the two Lin family elders.

He was now managing nearly all of Lin Hao’s affairs, big and small.

Yi Mingcheng departed, and the other members of the Lin family also got to work, leaving only Lin Hao, Lin Tianxiao, and the two elders at the scene.

"Grandfathers, Third Uncle, I want to ask you something," Lin Hao said at last.

Lin Hao had asked Lin Tianxiao before, but he had refused to answer. Now, the time was right.

The two Lin family elders and Lin Tianxiao exchanged a glance and nodded.

They had already guessed what Lin Hao wanted to ask.

"Where exactly did Grandfather and Father go? Lin Wei said they were dead, but I don’t believe him. And my mother—is she dead or alive?"

"Hao’Er, you have now grown to a level that even we must look up to. It is time you knew the truth," one of the two Lin family elders began.

"Your mother’s surname is Jiang, and her given name is Hanyan. We never knew where she came from until one day, not long after you were born, when a man and a woman arrived in War Dragon City."

"They were exceedingly powerful. We didn’t know their cultivation level at the time, but thinking back now, they were likely in the Sealed Martial Realm!"

Hearing this, Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed.

He knew where his mother had come from.

’The Divine Demon Destruction Domain!’

’And from the ancient world within the Divine Demon Destruction Domain—the Jiang family!’

"Your mother’s cultivation was unfathomable, but she had given birth to you only a few months prior, and her power hadn’t fully recovered. In the end, she was injured by that pair and taken away. Your father was wounded in the process as well."

"After your father recovered from his injuries, he said one day that your bloodline was destined to be one in a million. To help you awaken it sooner, he left in search of a Spirit Medicine. But who could have known that he would never return?"

"We sent people to search for him later, but to no avail. At the time, your father’s cultivation was peerless among his generation. No one knows how far he traveled, so Lin Wei’s words are absolutely not to be trusted."

Hearing this, Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief. ’My mother is definitely still alive, and my father might be as well.’

"Then what about Grandfather?"

Lin Hao recalled the past. ’Lin Wei already knew about my bloodline back then. It’s very likely he plotted against Grandfather.’

"We’ve been investigating for the past few months. Your parents had many loyalists in the Imperial City’s Lin family back then. We contacted them and finally got word. The Imperial City Lin family did send pursuers after him, but the fourth brother managed to escape. However..."

"However what?"

"However... they said the fourth brother stumbled into an ancient remnant formation and was transported to the Nine Yang Void Realm. We’ve never heard of a place called the ’Nine Yang Void Realm,’ so we don’t know if it’s true."

"Of course it’s true." Just then, a voice drifted down from high above, and in the next moment, a person appeared before them.

"You..."

Seeing this person, Lin Tianxiao’s expression changed drastically.

The newcomer was an exquisitely beautiful woman who exuded a powerful, oppressive aura.

Of course, that wasn’t what was most important. What mattered was that this woman bore a slight resemblance to the Aunt Yun of years past.

"Aunt Yun, I didn’t expect you to come. I was just about to wrap things up here and come find you," Lin Hao said, happy to see her.

"My name is Yun Qingluan. You may call me the Devil Queen."

Aside from Lin Hao, the faces of the other three men drained of color.

They had, of course, heard of the Devil Queen’s name and were now almost certain that this was the same Aunt Yun from all those years ago.

Although they too had been victims and the matter had nothing to do with them, the name "Devil Queen" was terrifying.

Lin Hao’s expression, however, remained unchanged. He asked, "Aunt Yun, you know of the ’Nine Yang Void Realm’?"

"The Celestial Yang Continent is vast, but it isn’t the only continent in the lower realms. Continents in the lower realms are as numerous as the hairs on an ox, but the nine most powerful ones are all named after ’Yang.’ The Celestial Yang Continent is merely the weakest among them."

Yun Qingluan glanced at Lin Hao before revealing something that sent shockwaves through the members of the Lin family.

With their level of cultivation, it was impossible for them to even leave the Celestial Yang Continent. To suddenly hear that there were eight other continents in this world even more powerful than their own—one can only imagine their shock.

Lin Hao, however, was not one of them.

His spirit had roamed the great void, where he had not only seen the countless continents of this world but had even glimpsed a far more boundless universe.

"The Nine Yang Void Realm connects these nine continents. It is a mystical trial ground that one can enter to train upon reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm. However, entry is restricted to those under the age of twenty-five. Therefore, the Nine Yang Void Realm is filled with the most elite geniuses from all nine continents."

"If my grandfather was really transported to the Nine Yang Void Realm after stumbling into an ancient remnant formation, what would happen?" Lin Hao asked, his expression still neutral after hearing this.

Lin Hao had keenly identified the heart of the issue. A flash of admiration crossed Yun Qingluan’s beautiful eyes.

"Why don’t you go and see for yourself? Oh, by the way, if someone from the upper realms uses an ancient Forbidden Skill to descend, they will first appear in the Nine Yang Void Realm. I imagine quite a few people are there right now. If you’re going, you’d better be quick," Yun Qingluan said.

Lin Hao nodded and was about to speak again, but Yun Qingluan stopped him. "I know what else you want to ask. Don’t worry, she is fine. As for the location of the Nine Yang Void Realm, you can ask that turtle. Now, you should get going. I will help you get the Lin family to the Heaven-Stepping Sect."

"Thank you, Aunt Yun." After expressing his gratitude, Lin Hao turned to look at his family.

"Go. Be careful."

At this point, any more words were meaningless.
