Chapter 781

781 14.57 Last Violet Star – Death Valley (1)

Hei Anjing frowned a bit and looked at his lover. He then asked, “What should I do, A’Xia? Are those toys really precious? I can make hundreds of it in just a day.”

“Lord Hei, please don’t create more. The balance of power in this world would disappear if you do. If a mortal wields such a sword they can even kill a Cultivator,” said Zhi Yue.

Hei Anjing spoke, “What should I do then? I will never take back anything I’ve gifted.”

Yun Xiajie caressed his cheeks tenderly and smiled at his beloved.

“Don’t worry. We can place an illusion formation in it and let it look like an ordinary sword to others. Since we will make the formation as long as the one to look at the sword isn’t stronger than us, they wouldn’t realize that it was an elemental sword,” said Yun Xiajie.

Hei Anjing’s eyes glowed in delight upon hearing those words. He hugged his lover and gave fleeting kisses on his face like an excited child. Yun Xiajie would also hold on to Hei Anjing’s waist almost naturally.

The others who were watching couldn’t help but comment, “Ah~ today’s dog food is as delicious as always.”

Zhi Yue gave Lord Hei and Lord Yun some ordinary jades found in this world. Though to call it ordinary is a bit too much as compared to the other jades that Zhi Yue had given are top grade jades which are also considered rare in this world. At least compared to the elemental swords which can only be found from the highest realm these jades can still be found in this world.

The two of them mold the jades into the crest pattern of the sect and give one each to their three disciples. It was made to be a small accessory that can be hung at the tip of the sword hilt. The illusion formation in the jade immediately activated, making the elemental sword look like ordinary steel swords distributed by the Lan Zhuayun Sect to their young disciples.

.....

Yun Xiajie said, “If you want to see how the sword looks you can just take off the jade token. But as long as it is attached to your sword it would help you block the eyes of the others.”

“But Immortals at King class might see it but according to their strength, a mere elemental sword would not interest them. So don’t worry and swing those swords without fear!” said Hei Anjing.

The three disciples cupped their hands and bowed in front of Yun Xiajie and Hei Anjing.

“Thank you very much for the present, Senior Hei! Chun Hongyun-Jun!”

On the other hand, within the depths of death valley...

A man wearing red and black robes when inside a temple-like hall. At the center of the hall is a luxurious and comfy black coffin surrounded by a formation made of soul-nourishing talismans. Inside the black coffin is a man in a black robe with lotus flower patterns. Based on the color of the man in the coffin, this body is in a semi-death state. Not dead or alive.

The man in red and black robes is called Cao Rumin. He is a Demonic Cultivator at the same time a sword cultivator. Unfortunately, his mind is almost corroded by resentment qi and could barely keep his sanity. His eyes were deep red and a lot of devil-sealing ruins were written all over his body. On his lower abdomen is a full-bloom spider lily flower.

He walks gracefully towards the coffin and stares at the slumbering person in it. He is not yet but even worse than death. He could barely even hear his breathing as if his heart would stop anytime.

This man inside the coffin had a 40 percent similarity to the appearance of the Immortal Empress but with more masculine features and only 20 percent like Hei Anjing. His white hair signifies his existence as someone who possesses a Yin Physique, this is also the reason why the body can keep its optimal state despite being asleep for a very long time.

Cao Rumin plays with the sleeping man’s white hair. He keeps watching his cold face with yearning, regret, and obsession.

“If only I was the one you had chosen as your Dao Companion instead of Fan Wuren. Things wouldn’t have to end like this, Xue Yueguang,” mumbles Cao Rumin.

“Darling, I heard your son is coming. Don’t you miss him? Aren’t you going to wake up to see Xiao Fayun?”

Cao Rumin waited for a reaction from the sleeping man but sadly, the body inside the coffin remains the same as always. He didn’t show any disappointment when Cao Rumin saw this, after spending a few years with this man in his deep sleep he knew that his voice could be heard by Xue Yueguang. But this man refuses to wake up, much less see him. This is because Cao Rumin killed his dao companion leading to this kind of result.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to wake up~ you will have to wake up sooner or later anyway. With Mo Bing Jingling-Jun coming, as long as I have his help you will have to wake up regardless~” said Cao Rumin before leaving the hall to complete his preparation for the arrival of his unexpected guests.

What he didn’t know was that, after he left the hall, the hand crossed over Xue Yueguang’s chest slightly twitching for some reason. Cao Rumin missed the chance to see this surprising change in this slumbering person who had been in this state for more than ten years.

The Death Valley...

This valley used to be the most beautiful and abundant resource among all lands in the mortal realm. But this is an area that used to be owned by the Xie Clan which used to be the strongest clan ten years ago. Unfortunately, they had fallen due to greed and thirst for power.

The land which is full of trees, spiritual ponds, and qi were not reduced to barren land. A place in the world in which nothing alive can exist.

Now the land is filled with dead trees, undead roaming around, and the scent of death covering the whole land. Thanks to this undead, the valley never recovered its original luster. This Death Valley is like its name. Nothing but the dead can live in this place. Well unless one places a formation to seclude an area of living, but would there be someone insane to live in a place full of resentment and death aura?

It was because no one expected one to be crazy enough to live in that place that Cao Rumin had made a paradise in the land of the dead.

When the flying arrived at the sky above Death Valley, Hei Anjing and the rest looked down from the boat and saw a large number of undead roaming on the land under them. The children couldn’t help but be frightened.

Zhi Yang says, “Master, this place is full of resentment qi and death aura.”

“I have pills here which seem useful. One is Corpse Poison Reversal Pill, Mind Cleansing Pill, and Ice Frost Pill to prevent being inflicted by Death Aura. Distribute a bottle for each one of you and take one pill of each kind. I will clean up below first” said Hei Anjing, who jumped off the shop nonchalantly. Not even caring about the distance of the sky from the earth below.

Yin Xiajie didn’t hesitate to follow after eating the pills. He also jumps down with his beloved, leaving the children for Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue to protect.

Zhi Yue commented, “Aiya~ I guess you brats would be thrown into field training this time. Do your best! Jiayou~”

“Urg~ I just saw more than thousands of undead below. It’s ten times the amount we had seen in the Countryside town,” murmured Yun Fan.

Yun Anjie said, “Chun Hongyun-Jun and Senior Hei already went down to clean up. They should leave a few undead for us to practice.”

“But it’s Senior Hei we are talking about, there is no way the remaining undead to be mindless and ordinary moving corpses,” said Yun Xing.

Yun Fan looked at Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang, “B-Big Brothers, can I say on the boat?”

“No. The ship would be taken back,” said Zhi Yang as he really took away the flying while in midair.

The three disciples learned the feeling of how to fall from such a high height before learning how to fly with their swords. As expected, the sound of obnoxious screams echoes throughout the whole valley. Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang were gods so flying isn’t a problem for them. They watch as the children scream their lungs out in fear as they fall from the heavens.

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Yun Fan shouted, “I don’t have a dao companion yet~ I don’t want to become a smashed egg~”

“So noisy, A’Fan!” reprimanded Yun Anjie as he looked at Yun Xing who was focusing on controlling the wind elements to at least break their fall. “Take your time. As long as we cushion with the wind before we hit the ground we should be fine. I’ll leave it to you, A’Xing.”

“A’Xing save me! I don’t want to die as a virgin! Ahh!!” screamed Yun Fan.

Zhi Yue, who was flying, almost fell down when he heard Yun Fan’s nonsensical screams.

Pfft!

“This kid wants me to fall to my death. What the hell is he screaming that for? HAHAHA~” said Zhi Yu as he laughed in the mid-air.

Zhi Yang who was flying beside him also couldn’t help but chuckle. The silliness of Yun Fan reminds him of that Warden in the Nether System.

“This kid reminds me of Warden Lou.”

Yun Xing successfully breaks the fall of the three of them. Yun Anjie and Yun Xing landed on their feet without a problem, only the silly Yun Fan fell face first. The land they’d fallen to wasn’t the black earth they expected but instead, a floor made of thick ice. When the young ones looked around they saw that their surroundings were covered in ice and most undead was frozen in it.

The scene of more than thousands of undead being frozen was such a rare sight. It left the young disciples in awe. They’ve never expected that an elemental area of effect attack can result in such a scene.

Yun Anjie spoke, “I’ve also seen the area of effect attack of Sect Master Bai who is said to be a master of Ice Elements. But the effects were never this large.”

“It’s to be expected. Senior Hei is an immortal after all,” said Yun Xing.

Hei Anjing commented, “My cultivation in this realm is at least the Soul Transformation stage. But to cover this land with ice, I only need Golden Core Strength to do so. You just need to maximize the elemental qi and with enough proficiency, you can have a large area of effect skill of your making.”

“Don’t just think of improving your cultivation. You need a strong foundation, control, and precision over your powers. If you cannot control it then it would only be a waste,” said Chun Hongyun-Jun who was holding Hei Anjing’s hand the whole time.

The three disciples said collectively, “Thank you for the guidance!”

“Get Ready. I left a few useful sparring opponents for you guys. Since you ate my pill there is no need to worry about corpse poison,” said Hei Anjing.

Suddenly everyone noticed his silver eyes were replaced with a scarlet glow. Every time he uses resentment qi this happens. He looks at the fierce zombies who look like they have a bit of consciousness and are standing like good soldiers waiting for orders.

Hei Anjing commanded, “Go fight to the death. Just avoid killing them instantly.”

Roarr~ Grrrr~ Rawwr~

Suddenly three fierce corpses wearing full armor and even holding weapons threw themselves toward the three disciples. These fierce corpses had a bit of consciousness which Hei Anjing awakened.

Yun Fan said, “Ah! Ah. Ah. They are coming!!!”

“Pull out your swords. Avoid getting scratched as possible even though we ate a pill we should also practice avoiding it as much as possible,” said Yun Anjie as he leads the group. “A’Fan... Fight in front, I and A’Xing will support you. You have the strongest constitution among us three but you cannot just run ahead. Heed my commands tata certain times.”

“Understood!” answered Yun Fan and Yun Xing.
