855 14.131 Last Violet Star – (Past) Gates to the Underworld

In the Lan Zhuayun Sect’s Main Peak...

The Yun Clan had been eagerly awaiting the waking of their lord. Sect Master Yun was sitting in his lotus posture when they saw his spirit enter his vessel and begin meditation. Sect Master Yun slowly opened his eyes in front of everyone, and he was met by the smiling faces of his younger brother, clan elders, and two sons.

Yun Xiayu, the Great Elder, enquired, “How are you feeling now, brother?”

Sect Master Yun stated, “I feel light and free, but this body I have at the moment is dying. I cannot continue using it. I’ve just returned to this vessel to say a few things.” However, all of a sudden, he realized Bai Wuan was gone, but he did see his youngest son quietly seated next to him.

“Where is A’Wuan, Xiao Jie?” asked Sect Master Yun.

“Jing’er left to heal Bai Ying. He informed me that his father already knew what he should do when he woke up. He requested me to remain and talk with father for the last time,” the Second Young Master Yun said.

Sigh~

Sect Master heard what his youngest son had just said and, for some reason, understood why Bai Wuan didn’t decide to remain as he entered the underworld, which caused him to grin in appreciation.

Sect Master Yun Huajie spoke, “Since everyone is here, let me make an announcement about what should happen while I’m away. The Great Elder would take over my authority, but my eldest son, Yun Huaxia, would be appointed Sect Master. Until he establishes his reputation and strength, however, he would only be in that position in name. My second son would also hold a great elder seat until he reached adulthood. Bai Wuan would hold the same position as my youngest son regardless of whether Yun Xiajie becomes”

.....

“We accept all the Sect Master’s orders!”

Yun Huajie nods in his direction, indicating that Yun Xiayu agreed to his elder brother’s request while his younger brother struggles to contain his tears from falling down. He would at least take care to preserve the Sect and maintain its current status until his brother came back. He must also prepare his oldest nephew to succeed him as Sect Leader.

“Xiao Hua, listen.”

“Y-Yes, father. Xiao Hua is listening!” said Yun Huaxia.

“The elders of our sect would definitely lend their assistance as long as you asked. Once you completed your Dao Ceremony with A’Yin, you would be responsible for everything about your Dao Companion. The marriage between you two was not only because of the dao between you two but also because of the group behind you.” Sect Master Yun smiles and gives advice, “Son after I am gone the responsibilities on your shoulders would be heavier.”

Yun Huaxia exclaimed, “This A’Xia will remember father’s words in the heart!”

“That’s excellent. I hope when I come back the two sects will be governed by you and A’Ying.”

The Sect Master turned this time to look at his youngest son, who remained mute the whole time. Even though the Second Young Master of their Yun Clan was born practically expressionless, it is impossible to deny the righteousness that runs through his veins. He serves as an example for all Lan Zhuayun Sect cultivators. Thankfully, he met Bai Wuan because he was too inflexible, acting like a living machine. His son was once more rendered human by this kid. It’s as though the steel tree has begun to bear fruit. He began displaying feelings like joy, sorrow, possessiveness, and even jealousy. However, Bai Wuan is the sole individual around whom these sentiments are focused.

That ought to have been sufficient solace for him as a parent, but Bai Wuan’s past is far too enigmatic for him to be able to make any sense of it, no matter how hard he tried. They just lately came to understand this man’s, his youngest son’s selected Dao companion, true lofty identity. A former immortal who has been reborn. a person who dwells in the region most Gods and Goddesses inhabit, which is above them. His standing is different from the rest of them despite that his youngest son was the only exception in the world being treasured by this God.

From such a mysterious place did Bai Wuan originate the Upper Realm in the legend. The Sect Master received the impression that Bai Wuan and his younger son were of somewhat similar origins. Just he had not discovered any other evidence of it than Bai Wuan’s boundless love for his kid. Actually, this unmatched passion was sufficient for him to conclude that Bai Wuan is indeed a part of his youngest son’s destiny.

“But since you had chosen A’Wuan as your future Dao Companion, you must never betray him. In the first place, this old man had a feeling that both your souls had been connected from the beginning. There must be a link only you two would understand.” Sect Master Yun said to his youngest son, “Xiao Jie... Your chosen Dao Companion is not simple at all, and most likely you also possessed an identity that is beyond us as well.”

It wasn’t denied, and Yun Xiajie nodded in accord with his father’s theories. They have a stronger bond than everyone anticipated, as evidenced by the unidentified information in his mind and the feelings he has for his Jing’er. Additionally, both of them are capable of using Natal Weapons, which is another factor. Unless two souls were considered to be one, it is often difficult to achieve such a thing. The Second Young Master Yun was perplexed to learn that he and Bai Wuan had not yet accomplished their Dao Ceremony.

Sect Master Yun warned, “This old man was presumed to die that day, and it was only because of Bai Wuan that I can still live today. Never hold him back for your own selfish reasons. It is better if you both are alive as that can only mean that there will always be a chance to meet each other again. Additionally, everyone with eyes can see how much A’Wuan sacrificed.”

“Father, I swear I won’t betray Jing’er,” Yun Xiajie stated.

Speaking, Sect Master Yun said, “That child... I don’t know what he had experienced, but I can see that he... isn’t one to let others influence him. He is carefree, but no one is allowed to move him. As long as it is interesting, he is willing to keep watch, and if it is boring, it wouldn’t even enter his sight. But A’Wuan always keeps you in mind in everything he does in his life. In his eyes, my life and the life of others doesn’t seem much but because of you he is willing to protect us as well.”

“Resurrection is something only God can do, so why do people still die? They might not care about mortals, but... Was it something they could do without breaking any rules? It is impossible for a mortal to be reborn at the age he died, much less keep his memories of that life intact. But A’Wuan says he would revive me with all these options. Do you think it will be that simple, Xiao Jie?” asked his father.

The advice his father just gave Yun Xiajie was like a warning, but it wasn’t clear how to interpret it. He needs to find the ideal possibilities for such theories. Yun Xiajie wondered why his lover wasn’t assisting him in remembering when he had recollections of his previous existence. He wasn’t even required to recall anything; instead, he was given free rein to do anything he pleased. keeping an eye on him without interfering.

There is also the trial his sweetheart frequently mentions. Bai Wuan then told him that killing the devil was his only option. But this time, his lover wants him to employ his own hands to kill him. He acted as though he were testing something. With the help of his father’s comments, Yun Xiajie was able to sense something strange.

When Yun Huajie noticed the variations in his youngest son’s facial expressions, he realized that he would now pay more attention to A’Wuan. He did this because he didn’t want A’Wuan to handle everything; instead, he could enlist the aid of his son and handle everything jointly as they had already made up their minds to be partners.

Finally, the gates of the underworld appeared and began to gently open. Along with two small groups wearing the same attire, two men emerged wearing pure white robes and pure black robes, both of which had loose hoods covering their whole faces. No one can see how they look at all as if something unknown was preventing others from seeing their appearances. These guys emerged out of nowhere with the gates leading to the underworld so that no one saw where they came from whether they arrived with the gates or not. Although Lu Yi, who was positioned at the corner, felt he recognized these individuals, he was unable to remember where he had seen them before though.

Two men who seem to be the group’s leaders approach Sect Master Yun. They remained silent while waiting for the Sect Master of the Yun Clan and stood to the side.

Yun Huajie asked, “Is it time for me to go?”

In response to his query, the two guys wearing black and white robes nod their heads. As he drew near, the guy in the white robe reached out and approached Sect Master Yun. Yun Huajie lays his hand on top of the man’s hand, but as soon as he does, the tips of his fingers begin to slowly burn away turning to ashes. The guy in the white robe fully assisted him in leaving his vessel, which is about to unite with the soil, by Sect Master Yun’s soul, which was left on the top of the man’s hand pulled away from the group of living.

As their Sect Master’s soul reappeared before them once more, this time his soul was fully translucent like a ghost and he could no longer see or hear them, Yun Huaxia and the other Yun Clan members gasped. The living and the dead exist in distinct dimensions, thus unless a spirit is a ghost cultivator, they cannot travel between them.

The First Young Master Yun screams out, “Father... Father...!”

The great elder could no longer contain his sorrow and said, “Brother.” He felt lonely as he saw his lone brother go.

Sect Master Yun is no different from other ghosts now that the benefits of Bai Wuan’s blood essence have worn off, the only thing that previously allowed him to remain in the living world. The direct relatives of this Sect Master were present, and they were unable to help but cry. As the ghost can no longer perceive the living, they tried calling for him but got no response from the other side. The only spirits that can maintain contact with the living are those who are wicked or bad and have attachments on the surface. Those souls that have no ties to the living world are no longer able to perceive anything there. Only waiting for the gate that leads to another world, the realm of the dead.

The white-robed figure suddenly spoke in a whisper to the Sect Master’s soul. They were unable to hear what they were saying. Suddenly the man in white robes pointed to the Yun Clan’s location with his finger. However, everyone saw Sect Master Yun gaze in their way, grin, and wave his hands as if he could see them apparently gesturing his goodbyes. Everyone watches as they enter the opening gates while being accompanied by the man in the black robe and the man in the white robe.

The area beyond the gate is gradually opening to those coming in. In the brief moment before the gates of the underworld closed, they had seen nothing but dark, old structures with moonlight serving as their sole source of illumination. Finally, Sect Master Yun left the world of the living.

Only Yun Xiajie among them maintained a composed gaze as he observed the situation. He had a blood relationship with the guy who is leaving, but for some reason, he felt absolutely no connection to him.

When he put his hand on the top of his heart, all he felt was a peaceful beating, but his mind was clouded with uncertainty.

‘Why am I unable to feel anything at all in response to this scene?’

‘
