Supreme Tamer

Chapter 971: Chapter 837: Spiritual Load, Ye Qingzi’s Dream

“`

“Demonization is real, and it’s a long story. Where is Qingzi? I want to see her first, then we can talk slowly,” Chu Mu was quite eager to see Ye Qingzi.

“Oh, I’ll go call her now. You kid, you almost destroyed my younger sister!” Ye Wansheng hurriedly turned around and cursed!

But just as Ye Wansheng took a step, he suddenly realized something and stopped. “No, you can’t see her now,” he said to Chu Mu.

“Why not?” Chu Mu asked, puzzled.

“She’s in the midst of a critical period in her refining, and she must maintain a very calm state of mind. Any disturbance could not only waste her efforts but might also cause a backlash to her own body. Do you think she can stay calm if you, who should be dead, appear before her?” Ye Wansheng explained.

“What’s going on?” Chu Mu was still confused.

When a Spirit Master is refining, it’s like the closing of Soul Sense during a breakthrough; there must be no disturbances or distractions. Chu Mu knew this, but he didn’t understand how the process of refining could cause a backlash against the body.

“Well… Sigh, just don’t see her for now, lest it affects her mood,” Ye Wansheng sighed.

“Tell me properly,” Chu Mu was getting anxious.

“I’ll start by telling you some things first. It’s a long story anyway, and since you two haven’t seen each other for such a long time, a little while longer as I speak won’t matter,” Ye Wansheng said.

“Okay then,” Chu Mu saw the seriousness in Ye Wansheng’s expression and did not insist.

Since Ye Qingzi was in closed-door refining, Chu Mu certainly couldn’t disturb her.

Ye Wansheng led Chu Mu to the Hall and, after sending the Medicine Child away, started to slowly relate what had happened over the years.

“You probably know that the Spirit Item used as a stake in the Second Tier Final Glory competition, regarded as a waste product, is actually the Spirit Art heritage that teacher left for Qingzi.”

“Yeah. I guessed as much,” Chu Mu nodded his head.

Then, Ye Wansheng didn’t conceal their background from Chu Mu anymore and began to describe everything from the very beginning.

“There are rumors that my teacher Yingrong’s Spirit Art surpassed that of his own teacher, the King of Spirit Masters Yang Que… and this isn’t a rumor, but a fact!”

“His Spirit Art is unsurpassable by anyone in this world; people call him ‘Undying Immortal’ because my teacher only showed his true strength in the field of Healing, and never really revealed much about the refining and compounding of Spirit Items, the fusion and synthesis of Spirit Crystals…”

Chu Mu knew very little about Yingrong, and only through Ye Wansheng did he learn that Yingrong was indeed a genius with extremely high talent in various aspects.

His attainment in Spirit Art was absolutely peak-level, so much so that even his own teacher Yang Que couldn’t easily prepare Emperor Level Spirit Items like he could, let alone that his Spirit Art had reached the level where he could work with Peak Emperor items.

Yang Que was hailed as the King of Spirit Masters and controlled a Spirit City comparable to the Border City. Yet, his greatest achievement was merely the limited preparation of Peak Emperor Spirit Items with a certain success rate. It is evident that, had Yingrong been given more time, he would have certainly surpassed Yang Que.

However, while Heaven does not envy the gifted, people do.

For the same sect brother Zhu Chao, his jealousy struck during a disturbance known as the “Sealing,” during which he schemed and framed Yingrong, making him one of the targets of the Soul Covenant’s Sealing.

So Yingrong assumed a low profile and did not dare to appear in the secular world, focusing on training the Ye Family Siblings instead.

Yingrong was an outstanding Soul Pet Master, but also a highly skilled Spirit Master. He passed on his abilities to Ye Wansheng and Ye Qingzi, respectively.

Ye Qingzi had a high talent for Spirit Art; she was the clear choice for Yingrong’s successor. In fact, initially, Yingrong assessed the spiritual talents of both siblings. Ye Wansheng was somewhat lacking in this area, which made Ye Qingzi the inheritor of Yingrong’s legacy.

Yingrong was strict with Ye Qingzi but indulgent towards Ye Wansheng, and there was a reason for this: Ye Qingzi was his true successor.

Perhaps knowing that his time was limited, Yingrong used an ancient spell to imprint his Soul Sense on some special vessels. Both Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng were too young to fully protect these vessels containing the heritage spells, so Yingrong entrusted them to two other people for safekeeping, in case anything happened to him, allowing Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng a chance to retrieve them.

“Who were these two people?” Chu Mu asked.

“One was my teacher’s close friend, the distinguished Chu Tianmang from twenty years ago, who shares a surname with you, and the other is Yang Que…”

“Wait, wait, who did you just say that person was?” Chu Mu froze and hastily interrupted Ye Wansheng.

“Chu Tianmang. Why, do you know him?” Ye Wansheng looked at Chu Mu.

“`

“He is my father,” Chu Mu said calmly.

Chu Mu really hadn’t expected that his father would be close friends with Ying Rong.

However, thinking about it, Chu Tianmang and Ying Rong were once both known as part of the Five Peaks Youth of World City. It made sense that they would have met each other back then.

“What a coincidence…” Ye Wansheng couldn’t help but bitter-smile.

In fact, there wasn’t much mystery to it.

At that time, Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng appeared in the West Region of the World Realm because they wanted to find Chu Tianmang to retrieve the heritage instrument left with him by their teacher and hoped for Chu Tianmang’s protection.

But they heard that this strong one, once more renowned than Ying Rong, had fallen even more destitute than their teacher.

When Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng first arrived at the Luo region, it coincided with the Chu Family’s migration, and Chu Tianmang had long since left the West Region. The siblings were unaware of the Chu Family’s vicissitudes and didn’t want to travel thousands of miles to end up empty-handed.

As a result, the siblings began to search diligently and eventually found Chu Ning and Chu Xing, who were training outside near the West Region.

After some investigation, they verified the truth of Chu Tianmang’s destitution, and then Chu Mu appeared before Chu Xing and Chu Ning.

Having lost hope in Chu Tianmang, Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng naturally didn’t bother to check whether Chu Mu had any relation to Chu Tianmang, and in the end, like Chu Mu, they had no choice but to embark on the path of relentless training to increase their strength.

They had never mentioned this matter to Chu Mu, partly because Ying Rong had instructed them to keep the matter of the heritage utterly secretive, never to be revealed to a third person. On the other hand, Chu Mu himself had many secrets and had never seriously revealed his identity, sometimes Chu Mu, sometimes Chu Chen.

After arriving at World City, through the interpretation of the Soul Sense on incantations, Ye Qingzi discovered that the lost instrument of Chu Tianmang was in World City.

After some investigation, they joyfully discovered that the valuable instrument whose whereabouts were unknown was being used to store Spirit Items, and as a reward for the winner of Second Tier Final Glory, it had been displayed before The World Decree started!

So, when Ye Qingzi insisted she must obtain the Spirit Item that was the reward for the Second Tier Final Glory, it was the container that truly mattered, not the Spirit Item itself, which was of no value to her!

“My father’s Space Ring seems to have been stripped by the Soul Covenant; I guess everything stored inside was taken by some people, and the inconspicuous vessels became random things…” Chu Mu said.

“Yeah, it’s good our teacher left us another way to find it, otherwise, we would never have realized what it was even if we had it for a lifetime,” Ye Wansheng said.

“So, does the reward for the first place in the Spirit Art competition have something to do with the second vessel?” Chu Mu asked smoothly.

“Yeah, the Spirit Art competition takes place every five years, and the vessel that holds the first-place reward is always a historical item known as ‘Spiritual Load.’ This Spiritual Load is the vessel used to store the Spirit Items in the first Spirit Art competition and is of significant importance; it’s generally not replaced and will always be used,” Ye Wansheng explained.

“The reason our teacher became a disciple of Yang Que was that he had once won first place in the Spirit Art competition. In fact, his Spirit Art was already very advanced at that time; he was just a low-key person, and becoming a disciple was just for the sake of refuge,” he continued.

“After our teacher got the vessel, he imprinted his Spirit Art Law, which was far superior to Yang Que’s, onto this historical vessel with incantations. He then returned it to Spirit City and informed Qingzi that only when she achieved this glory and held ‘Spiritual Load’ in her hands in the future, would she be qualified to learn his advanced Spirit Art.”

As Ye Wansheng spoke, he glanced at the Pharmacy where Ye Qingzi had set up a prohibition, revealing a complicated expression and said in a tone of resignation,

“Qingzi has always been striving for Spiritual Load; it’s her life goal, incredibly meaningful, and is the second part of the will that our teacher wished her to fulfill. She has spent so much effort over these years, and if you saw her haggard appearance, you would know… For the sake of obtaining Spiritual Load, she really has put her heart and soul into it, and now, she is very close to it… so…”

Ye Wansheng paused, and Chu Mu nodded seriously, saying, “Don’t worry, no matter how urgent, these days won’t make a difference. When Qingzi holds ‘Spiritual Load’, then I will appear, and I will congratulate her.”

“Good that you understand, I think that day will be unforgettable for her,” Ye Wansheng replied.

After a long talk with Ye Wansheng, not to disturb Ye Qingzi, Chu Mu stood up and left.

In the coming days, Chu Mu would silently watch over her…

Watching Chu Mu leave, Ye Wansheng also smiled to himself, muttering,

“Qingzi, I can’t wait to see the moment when you hold ‘Spiritual Load,’ fulfill your dream, and see your beloved standing in front of you… You’ll surely cry like a child… Go ahead and cry all you need, no need to keep up appearances anymore.”
