Chapter 1648 - 839: Adequate Talent (2)

"Fifteen and a half," Jasmine pondered for a second, then whispered, "his body actually possesses the Emperor’s sacred veins!"

"Emperor? Divine Song?" Yun Che’s steps halted as he frowned, "What do you mean?"

"The deep veins are very special. His veins are more than twice the width of an average person’s, and even their structure is dramatically different. These profound veins are called the veins of the tyrant emperor. Simply put, even in Shenzhou, they are extremely rare profound veins. If someone had these profound veins in my birthplace, they would inevitably rule a region and be appointed emperor. But for it to appear in such a place is truly a waste! The reason his veins are so large still lies in his Emperor’s sacred veins. With these veins, although they are not noticeable in the initial stage of the Kingdom, once he steps into the newborn abyssal Kingdom and his power matures, he will have to put in at least ten times the effort of an ordinary person at every stage thereafter!

Yun Che: "..."

"Haozi, we are here."

Although Yun Che wanted to continue questioning, Xia Yuanba had already pulled him to the front of the Elder Hall.

"I will see if Elder Sikong is here."

Just as Xia Yuanba was about to knock, the door suddenly opened on its own, and a man who appeared to be about forty, wearing a dark robe, walked out. Xia Yuanba greeted him swiftly: "Sikong, you’re actually here. That’s great."

The man was precisely Sikong Han, whom Yun Che wanted to meet, although he looked younger than Yun Che had imagined. Seeing Xia Yuanba, he smiled gently: "Ah? Yuanba, do you need something?"

"My brother-in-law is here to do business with you." Xia Yuanba moved aside, revealing Yun Che, who had been completely blocked by his massive body.

Yun Che stepped forward and said politely, "Sikong, young Yun Che from the east’s Fuyun City. I wonder if Elder Sikong still remembers an old friend from Fuyun City named Xiao Lie?"

"Liao Lie? Are you speaking of Xiao Lie?"

Hearing this name, the reaction of Sikong Han was beyond Yun Che’s expectations. He took a step forward, grasping Yun Che’s shoulders with both hands: "Where is he? Has he come to New Moon City?"

Yun Che shook his head: "No. Currently, grandfather is still in Fuyun City. I am here to find you according to grandfather’s wishes.

After the speech, Yun Che took out a "Seven Great Steles," placing it in front of Sikong Han.

Sikong Han picked up the tablet and let out a sad sigh. Over the years, I have always wanted to visit him in Fuyun City, but I never could. I hope this time I can at least repay a bit of his past kindness. After bringing Yun Che and Xia Yuanba into the Elder Hall, Sikong Han sat down and carefully examined Yun Che. Without the arrogance typical of Royal Family appointees, the aged palace Great Elder, he instead asked concernedly, "Yuanou said you are Brother Xiao’s grandson, but how come your family name is Yun?"

"Haozi" is right, "that" is right. Why do you call yourself Yun Che?" Xia Yuanba hurriedly asked, "After being expelled from the small family, could you have found your biological parents?"

Yun Che answered, "Zhe Ren is not my grandfather’s biological grandson. However, for the past 16 years, grandfather raised me as if I were his own. Half a year ago, after being expelled from the small family, grandfather told me that my real surname is Yun."

"So that’s why." Sikong Han slowly nodded and said, "Indeed, I have heard of this."

Yun Che raised his head in amazement.

Sikong Han sighed deeply and continued, "Half a year ago, the son of the Little Grandmaster. I remember his name was Xiao Kuangyun, who came from Fuyun City. After all, they would have to pass through New Moon City; therefore, our New Moon Abyss Palace had to pay attention to that. Later, we discovered some information. Now, this information is insignificant to most people, but since it was related to Brother Xiao, I had to investigate further. I found out he was punished by his clan to spend fifteen years on the back mountain, and his grandson was expelled. I have wanted to help Brother Xiao countless times. But as an elder of the New Moon Palace, I cannot leave for long stretches. Therefore,

"Here" you need not blame yourself, Elder Xikong. If grandfather knew of your intention, I believe he would be deeply grateful." Yun Che replied courteously. Even though Sikong Han could take no action, it was evident he deeply cared about Xiao Li’s situation.

"By the way, how did the Fourth Elder meet my grandfather in the past?" Yun Che asked.

"That was seven years ago. I was on work-related matters, bringing my twelve-year-old son to Fuyun City. However, an enemy of mine found out and set an ambush there. As soon as I entered the city, I was ambushed. I was defending myself with all my might, unable to look after my son. Just as my son was about to be killed, Brother Xiao appeared and saved my son’s life. This Fourth Elder has only one son. Without Brother Xiao, my family line would have ended. With me. Over the years, I have never forgotten such kindness and have been unable to find a way to repay it."

Reflecting on past events, Sikong Han sighed endlessly. He looked at Yun Che and praised, "In this respect, you are indeed worthy of being Brother Xiao’s grandson. To have already broken through the basic profound realm and entered the newborn profound realm at such a young age, this innate talent is considered top-notch even in New Moon City. Your grandfather was the top expert of Fuyun City, and your future achievements will certainly not lose to your grandfather."

"Haozi?" Xia Yuanba asked wide-eyed, "You just said my brother-in-law is already in the newborn abyssal Kingdom?" Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong? My brother-in-law’s ’deep veins’ have been paralyzed since childhood, and he has never been able to pass the first stage of the ’basic abyss.’ How could he be in the newborn profound realm!’

"Kong?" Sikong Han’s face showed confusion. Because he could clearly sense that Yun Che’s profound energy was indeed at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm.

Yun Che gently replied, "He really is a long story." ’But I am indeed at the first layer of the Nascent Profound Realm. I wonder if my current formidable strength would qualify me to enter the Deep Profound Department.

As he spoke, Yun Che unrestrainedly nudged Xia Yuanba. The just-about-to-speak Xia Yuanba immediately closed his mouth, but even so, his heart was still shouting in panic – "Dear heavens! My brother-in-law is actually already in the newborn profound realm? How is that possible, how could it be possible?

Seeing Yun Che and Xia Yuanba acting this way, Sikong Han knew there was more to it than met the eye. But Yun Che did not want to elaborate, intentionally evading the topic. Sikong Han didn’t pry further and instead asked with a smile: "Yuanen Che, how old are you?"

"Sixteen years old." Yun Che answered truthfully. At the same time, a weight lifted from his heart.

"Sixteen?" Xikong Han stood up from his chair, surprise on his face: "I thought you were at least seventeen or eighteen, but you’re actually only sixteen! To truly enter the nascent abyssal kingdom at sixteen, even in the entire New Moon Abyss Palace, there wouldn’t be more than ten individuals." If you were born in a more elite sect, then without a doubt, you would far exceed your current self!"

Xia Yuanba continued to hold back his voice, reluctant to speak the words that were on his mind.

"Let me compliment you, Fourth Elder." Yun Che responded humbly. "If Sikong Han knew he only needed half a year to break through to the first level of the nascent profound realm, he would immediately fall off his chair. From the shock.

Haozi, let me check your innate ability." Sikong Han gestured with his hand.

Yun Che took two steps forward, standing in front of Sikong Han. Just as Sikong Han was about to use his hands to check his veins, he quickly held his breath, forcibly using his profound energy to seal thirty-eight of the fifty-four open abyssal accesses, leaving only sixteen of his profound entrances. But this concealment would only hold up under the simplest examination. If the examiner were to probe further, it would easily be discovered. However, everyone striving to join the New Moon Abyss Palace would try their best to showcase their peak abilities. Sikong Han would never suspect someone of intentionally hiding their abilities. Hence, he didn’t exert much effort during this examination.
