Chapter 776: 14.52 Last Violet Star – Crimson Cloud Peak’s Disciples (1)

A sudden request from the Emperor of all humans. Though this seems a bit selfish on the side of the cultivators who fight evil to protect the common people, Yun Huaxia and Bai Qiyin could understand the emperor’s feelings. In the first place, they’ve already planned to agree to this kind of request.

Thankfully, Hei Anjing who had the authority to decide on the ending of the Devil had already passed a message to them through Chun Hongyun-Jun. They’ve already received a message from them and the Old sect master on their way here.

Yun Huaxia spoke, “We had actually received a message passed by Wuan’er himself. He told us to pass his message to you, Human Emperor.”

“Let me hear it,” said Emperor Hong.

Bai Qiyin said, “Brother would come to the capital after a month. He said to do as you wish within that time. He doesn’t care whether you try to melt the ice or hide it. He will find the devil regardless.”

Upon hearing these words the Emperor and his minister could hear the hidden threat hidden within. The immortal obviously knows the mindset of the mortals and their sentiments towards their own. Even Emperor Hong himself cannot promise that he might try to hide his son’s body and endanger the whole human race for his own selfishness. Mortals would most of the time move due to their emotions alone.

Emperor Hong mumbled, “I see… This Emperor would keep it in mind. Sigh~”

…..

His back slightly slouched, the human emperor walked towards his throne with heavy steps and fell tiredly at his dragon seat. He is obviously depressed about the situation before him and was saddened by his inability to change the current situation.

The Grand Minister took over the job of entertaining the guests from the Cultivation world but his mood is also somewhat melancholy as well. Though he still keeps his job in mind.

“Please forgive the Emperor for his inability to entertain the esteemed guests. I hope the guests will not be offended.”

“Don’t worry. His actions are understandable. Even if it is only a mere vessel no one could deny that this is a lineage of his majesty. We would be leaving soon anyway so we don’t mind. But I would like you to at least receive this message from our Sect. It involves Wuan’er and it might interest your side,” said Yun Huaxia as he passed an official scroll message with the Lan Zhuayun Sect crest on it to the Grand Minister.

The Grand Minister politely accepted the official letter from Sect Master Yun while he sent the two special guests out himself. Only after Yun Huaxia and Bai Qiyin left the Palace that he returned to the throne hall and checked the letter from the Lan Zhuayun Sect.

After reading the content of the letter the minister hurriedly ran back to the throne room to report. What was written in the message is an opportunity that no one could waste.

“Brother. Brother, please look at this letter!”

“Whom is it from?” The Emperor asked.

The minister said, “An invitation from the Lan Zhuayun Sect for exchange lessons. It says that the Immortal one would teach personally.”

“What lessons is he going to tackle?” asked Emperor Hong.

The faithful minister replied, “According to what is written on the letter, it should be medicine and Pill Refinement. According to the report the crown prince had sent before, Great Elder Lu was tainted with death qi and the person who saved him is none other than Venerable Lord Hei.”

“Death Qi? The one usually used by the devils and the creatures of the infernal realm to fight? If he knows how to cure that then his skill must be at a divine level even from where he comes from. This is a chance we cannot ignore. Send the princes and princesses as well as a few descendants of our loyal retainers,” said the human emperor of the current dynasty.

“But… There seem to be limited spots for it. They would only allow five disciples to enter the Lan Zhuayun Sect and at most two elders. It will begin in two months,” said the grand minister.

The Emperor said, “Five? Make sure to add Qing’er to the list as for the other two you can add the people worthy to join the lesson. As for the two elders, you take one spot. I, as the Emperor, cannot leave the capital so carelessly but on the other hand, you can. Don’t forget to make connections with the Venerable One but at the same time do not make Chun Hongyun-Jun angry.”

“Don’t worry, brother. I will make sure to keep Qing’er safe,” said the minister.

The Emperor suddenly waved his hand and said, “Go. I want to be alone with Xiao Wu.”

“…Sure but… Don’t indulge in sadness. His highness the fifth prince wouldn’t like you acting this way to yourself,” advised the prime minister before once again leaving the throne room while throwing so worried gazes toward the tired ruler at his throne.

After the Prime Minister had left, the Emperor approached the huge block of ice that imprisoned the Devil Tanlan. Emperor Hong tried to touch the ice only to feel a numbing and cold piercing pain towards his outreached hand which was about to touch the ice prison.

Stunned, the Emperor immediately pulled back his hand and stared at the Ice with incredulity imprinted on his face.Please visit ???????????????????????. ??o??

“Is this Ice alive?” When I tried to touch the surface directly just now the frost instantly spread from the tip of his fingers to his palm almost instantly.

On this day, the five great sects had all received a letter of invitation from the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect. Each sect had a similar reaction. They were all informed about the identity of the Immortal Venerable Lord and they all wanted to meet him. But what is Hei Anjing’s standing and Chun Hongyun-Jun’s standing, both beings were people wouldn’t just be able to meet just because one wanted to.

For them, this Alliance Exchange is a lifetime opportunity to meet an immortal from the Upper Realm and everyone is eager for it. But only those with invitations are allowed to join the alliance exchange and the spot for it was also limited.

But everyone from the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect knows about it, and because of these rumors, everyone wanted to take a peek at the Crimson Cloud Peak owned by Chun Hongyun-Jun. Unfortunately, Yun Xiajie is very strict with the entrance of other disciplines at his peak, especially in the courtyard where he and Hei Anjing live.

Moreover, the Crimson Cloud Peak only has three disciples. Yun Anjie, Yun Fayun and Du Sang. With five disciples restrictions for each peak, only the Crimson Cloud Peak has two extra seats to join the lessons two months from now.

Courtyard at the Crimson Cloud Peak…

While Hei Anjing was waiting for Yun Xiajie to finish cooking in the kitchen, he summoned the three disciples of the current peak. The three brats had respectfully greeted Hei Anjing upon their arrival and the latter had asked them to sit in front of him, at the same table.

The three disciples were all well-behaved in front of Hei Anjing. Yun Fayun was especially nervous while Yun Anjie and Du Sang remained calm. After all, they knew that Senior Hei might be expressionless but they knew he is kinder towards them than anyone.

Hei Anjing said, “There is no need to be nervous. I’ve just called you here to ask you guys to join me and A’Xia for breakfast.” ．

“Thank you for your consideration, Senior Hei. But we don’t really want to disturb Senior Hei and Chun Hongyun-Jun’s privacy,” said Yun Anjie.

Hei Anjing said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already informed A’Xia ahead of time. The reason he is taking too long in the kitchen is that he is making meals for all five of us. If you leave now the food he made will be wasted. So just stay here.”

The three disciples said collectively, “Yes!”

Hei Anjing was observing the three disciples before him. He was looking through their physique, the follow of their qi, and the elements surrounding them.

Yun Fan’s qi is quite smooth but a bit lacking in strength even though he can already break through to the fourth level of the Qi Foundation stage his lack of concentration failed him to gather enough qi. Plus this child is born with heavenly eyes. If not controlled he would become blind in the future

Hei Anjing’s thoughts, ‘Heavenly Eyes. Water and Wind Elemental qi. Not bad. But he can’t control his eyes. If this continues he will definitely become blind in the future.’

Du Sang’s qi is calm yet unstable. Because he just recently got back his qi, his qi flow is a bit flawed. After getting used to resentment qi which can only be gathered and not be created through mediation, Du Sang didn’t know that a breakthrough fast didn’t mean getting stronger. Without a proper foundation regardless of whether your cultivation stage is high or not, without control over it, it cannot be considered yours. His control over the darkness qi is quite excellent though.

Thoughts of Hei Anjing while staring at Disciple Du Sang, ‘He is a bit hasty and that would lead to things that might make his meridians explode.’

Among the three disciples, Yun Anjie is the most stable. His foundation is also the best. He might have not noticed it or maybe he does but chooses to ignore it. But if suppress the fire element within to control the water element, his cultivation would definitely be stuck at some point in the future.

‘Is he afraid of controlling fire elements because he is a water element user? But he is born with a special constitution of Yang, he is wasting his bestowed talent’ commented Hei Anjing about Yun Anjie.

The silence in the room was quite relaxing but for a nervous disciple like Yun Fan, it was very suffocating to be near Hei Anjing. On the other hand, Hei Anjing is enjoying the milk tea Yun Xiajie had made for him before he heads to the kitchen.

Hei Anjing suddenly speaks, “Du Sang. I heard you got your courtesy name already. What kind of name did A’Xia give you?”

“Ah, Yes! This disciple’s courtesy name is Yun Xing,” answered Du Sang with a smile.

“Yun Xing? Not bad. Then there is some advice from me whether you listen to it or not will depend on you,” said Hei Anjing.

Du Sang said, “Please advise Senior Hei.”

“Until you’ve reached adulthood don’t attempt to control Resentment Qi. It’s not that I am completely forbidding you but I want you to not rely on it too much. Resentment Qi is filled with negative energy and feelings. Your immature soul would be easily tainted and it would break. Once it broke you would go insane. Insane in the meaning you can no longer go back to being normal,” explained Hei Anjing.

The three disciples were frightened by this fact. They’ve always thought that Demonic Cultivators were just a bunch of madmen and lost morals, but they’ve never expected that they are ordinary people who had become crazy because of resentment qi.

Yun Anjie asked, “Do all Demonic Cultivators end up being crazy?”

“No. There are some tough guys who are able to wield Resentment Qi the same as breathing. These guys are the real Demonic Cultivators but unlike the openly insane ones which are obviously, low-ranked ones who you guys know. They are smarter and calmer than anyone. Their mental strength is top-notch. But these guys are extremely dangerous, most of them had to sacrifice their humanity to achieve the strength they wanted. They are beings that already have nothing to lose. That’s why they are strong.”

“Let me give you a warning. If you meet a Demonic Cultivator whose face is devoid of any emotions, run. The calmer he is, the more dangerous he is. Most demonic cultivators who had full control over their resentment energy, are at the Nascent Soul Stage. That’s the weakest they can reach.”

Yun Fan mumbled, “This is insane! Nascent Soul!? Isn’t that the same as our sect master?”

“That’s why I told you to run. As long as they don’t take an interest in you, they will ignore your existence,” said Hei Anjing.
