Chapter 935 - 935 14.211 Last Violet Star - [Extra] After the Dao Ceremony II
“I am not sure if it was his voice. It was similar but... That ice prison only stopped me from imploding myself but did no further harm to me. Instead, he keeps A’Qing soul alive.” Heilan said.
The first person to refute that the voice Heilan heard belonged to Hei Anjing was Yun Huaxia. After all, his younger brother and his family were eating lunch with them that day on Crimson Cloud Peak. Suddenly he remembered that A’Wuan’s semblance existed in the Devil who had ruled the Pride. Ye Zihao had the very same face as Hei Anjing.
Sect Master Yun said, “It wasn’t A’Wuan. On the day the Capital City was invaded we were at their residence and A’Wuan didn’t leave at all. It must be that Devil who was born on this world thanks to the stolen blood from A’Wuan.”
“After the former King of the devils, Lord Ye Guiya left. It was the son who was created from his stolen blood and the blood of A’Wuan that created that devil. It was said that the former Demon Queen created him with all kinds of bloodlines including the blood of the Lord Ye Guiya and A’Wuan.”
“Their blood was stolen by that Demon Queen and created by that Devil called Ye Zihao. This devil looks exactly like A’Wuan including his ability to control ice elements and his voice as well. It must be him who stops you that day. I just don’t know why he chose to save you two that day.”
“Maybe he isn’t thinking anything after all, some devils are whimsical by nature.” Yun Huaye stated. “So you are saying that the child of Hou is still alive?”
“Yes, Seniors. It’s just that A’Qing can’t wake up as his soul is badly injured.” Heilan said.
Alina, the Dragon Empress spoke, “We actually want to meet King Wuan to borrow some resources which can heal someone’s soul. Of course, we won’t be free. We wouldn’t repay his kindness in any way.”
.....
“I see... We indeed had given our youngest the most resources to heal his soul. As his soul was quite battered at some point, but I don’t know if he still has some left. There might still be some herbs at home that are useful for the soul. Do you want that?” asked Xue Wuxia.
Alina, the Dragon Empress, said, “Yes, please.”
“There is a faster way for that child’s soul to heal. You need to return the providence to him but... doing so means your ascension would be...” Hei Tianyu said.
Heilan was determined and said, “I am willing to even become a cripple as long as the providence was returned to him!”
Such a declaration earns some points for everyone in the area. His determination to save his other half is fantastic and everyone can see his seriousness. Even the Immortal Emperor approved of this young dragon.
Hei Tianyu says, “Dracul, you have a good son.”
“Haha~ of course!” said Dracul, the Dragon Emperor. “Do help us remove the Providence in him. I will make sure he can keep himself unharmed in the process.”
“Then let’s begin. Child, sit in meditation.” The Immortal Emperor said.
Heilan followed the instructions. He took a seat in a meditation position, with his father sitting behind him and the Immortal Emperor Hei Tianyu in front of him. The latter suddenly opened his Heavenly Eyes and saw within the young black dragon in front of him. Hei Tianyu was taken aback by the providence’s willingness to synchronize with the young dragon’s soul, but upon closer inspection, he was able to make out Hou Longqing’s soul fragment acting as a link between the young dragon’s soul and the providence.
The Immortal Emperor said, “Almost half of the Providence is already synchronized with your soul. I can only take out the other half and your partner’s soul fragment. Have you brought his body with you?”
Heilan felt pain striking his whole body. It wasn’t like any physical pain in his soul being moved. If not for his father keeping his soul intact Heilan would have long fainted.
AGH~ “I... didn’t bring... A’Qing with... me,” said Heilan.
All of a sudden, Hou Longqing’s body was brought before the Immortal Emperor by Zhi Yang, who had entered the scene through a space vortex. He arrived unexpectedly, startling everyone—especially the Immortal Emperor. Even the way this man had approached them had no effect on Hei Tianyu.
Xue Wuxia exclaims, “Who are you!?”
“Your highness, he is a cultivator that serves A’Wuan. His name is Zhi Yang.” Introducing Yun Huaxia.
Zhi Yang said, “Lord Hei told me to bring this one here. It was urgent so this subordinate took some measures that might cause some commotion in the Dragon Nest.”
“Impossible! How can you enter the Nest!? It is forbidden for a non-dragon to be able to enter it!” stayed the Dragon Emperor.
Zhi Yang says, “Dragons can enter the nest anytime. I just need to bring a dragon with me. My task had been accomplished. If you will excuse me.”
After handing these people Hou Longqing, he vanished once again. He walked away from the scene as if he were not a part of it. At the exchange of words between the man that was called his youngest son’s subordinate and the Dragon Emperor, the Immortal Emperor knew that this man only listens to the command of his son. He had no intention of staying here with them to be questioned.
Yet Hei Tianyu saw that Zhi Yang had a familiar glow in his eyes. The qi wasn’t like the others’ regular qi. That was something different from their reality. Indeed, much like the energy that the Heavenly Laws originally gave him in the form of a subsystem.
Heilan asked, “Your Majesty, what should we do next?” He carefully cradles his sleeping lover in his arms. Even though he is in pain, he felt at ease with Hou Longqing in his arms.
Also present at this gathering was the newly crowned Empress of the Imperial City. She wished to ask Heilan about her older brother since she was shocked to find him alive. The table he had gone to, though, is a unique gathering place for Venerates. She can’t just go in and join such a prestigious gathering because that wouldn’t be considered courteous and would also have an impact on her Kingdom.
“Brother Qing! You are still alive! Thank God!”
But when Empress Hou finally saw her brother appear, she was unable to control her emotions and cried, calling out his name. Her prior dignity as an Empress has vanished, leaving just the innocent, anxious face of a little girl. Unfortunately, no matter how she calls for Hou Longqing the latter remained asleep.
Hei Tianyu said, “Little Lass, move to the side first. Let’s begin. It would be extremely painful to remove the remaining providence but unless we don’t give him his soul fragment he wouldn’t be able to wake up. Are you ready?”
“Yes!” Heilan responded.
The Immortal Emperor reached inside Heilan’s body. He touched Heilan’s soul without directly damaging the vessel, causing the latter to scream in agony. If not for his father passing his qi on him to significantly lessen the anguish, he would have gone insane. He can’t shake the impression that someone is prodding and tearing at his soul. Even though the entire process just took a few minutes, Heilan feels as though years had passed.
Hou Longqing’s soul fragment and the other half of the providence in Heilan’s body were forcibly extracted by Hei Tianyu. His present True Immortal Cultivation declines by a complete level and transforms into a Half Immortal Stage as soon as the providence is taken away. Even if Heilan gets weaker he doesn’t care as long as his beloved wakes up in exchange he is willing to give up everything including his life.
Meanwhile, a little purple dragon soul that is in the hands of the Immortal King is currently enclosing a piece of Hou Longqing’s soul. It appears that even though Hou Longqing only had a small soul piece left, the providence still treated him as an outlier. Everyone was astounded at the human race’s providence. The Human Emperor is viewed as a dragon by mortals at all times. Dragons are powerful and mystical. Yet this is merely a form as the providence itself is just an accumulation of luck for one full race.
The Human Providence trembles in Hei Tianyu’s palm as it could feel how powerful this being was capable of pulling him out of someone’s body especially since half of him had already merged in that vessel.
The Immortal Emperor spoke, “Quite smart. Now, Little Lass, to save your brother I need a drop of your blood. Give it to this little one. He will need to restore his connection to Hou Longqing’s body.”
“Isn’t it better to use brother’s blood instead?” asked Empress Hou.
Xue Wuxia said, “No. His body had long turned into a mortal. His blood had no traces of royal blood on him anymore. Your blood can only be used as a guide to return the Providence in his body. Don’t worry. His Providence can no longer allow him to return as a Human Emperor. It was already transformed within that young dragon’s soul. This remaining Providence can only allow him to gain a bit of the dragon’s blood. As his other half is a pureblood dragon.”
Empress Hou looked a bit distressed and said, “My brother can no longer stay with me?”
“No, darling. After he merges with Providence. His cultivation would reach the same as his other half and awaken a dragon’s blood. It’s hard for immortals to live in the Mortal Realm.” Xue Wuxia explained.
“How can Lord Hei and Chun Hongyun-Jun stay in the Mortal Realm then?” asked the Empress of the Human Race.
Yun Huaye answered, “Staying in the mortal realm needs an immortal to seal his divinity. With that said the sparse qi in this realm is suffocating for them that they rarely leave this mountain covered with a formation that enhances the qi.”
“Little Lass, the new human providence is being born inside you. Your brother can no longer become a human emperor after giving away his own providence. After all, Human Providence exists for the whole clan instead of just the Human Emperor.” The Immortal Emperor said.
“I understand.”
Empress Hou spilled blood on the small purple dragon, dramatically intensifying the hue of purple on his scales, and it soared and entered Hou Longqing’s body in plain front of everyone. Hou Longqing’s body is encircled by a purple aura that is slowly healing all of his wounds. Even his soul’s wounds were attended to. Although it is no longer lethal, it has also not fully recovered.
The Immortal Emperor brought out a small jar of pills and a prescription for treating soul injuries.
“At first, I was a bit bewildered when Xiao Jing gave me these two things. So it was for you guys. The Pill is a Soul Nourishing Pill. It would allow that boy to wake up. Young Dragon you should eat one to completely heal your soul. The scroll is a prescription for nourishing the soul. The herbs needed aren’t that hard to find. As long as you follow the instructions, the soul injury of this boy should be treated in the long term.”
Heilan was holding Hou Longqing in his arms and is now too weak to even lift his hand. The Immortal Emperor gave the items to the Dragon Empress, who accepted them with a bow of gratitude. Everyone in the dragon race saluted the Royal Family of the Immortal Clan in gratitude.
“Thank you very much! We shall repay this favor in the future.” The Dragon Emperor, Dracul declared.
The Immortal Empress smiled and said, “The Dragon Race and the Heavenly Domains were like neighbors. We should treat our neighbors well~” Xue Wuxia said.
Hou Longqing finally opened his eyes after being given the Soul Nourishing Pill, even if he still appears to be a little pale. As Heilan held him, he noticed everyone staring at them, most of whom were strangers to him, he was shocked to find his beloved crying.
“Sniff~ A’Qing~ you finally woke up!”
Not understanding what is happening, Hou Longqing mumbled, “Urgh~ I’m not dead yet.” After all, the last memory he remembers is that he died after safeguarding Heilan from the Demon Race.
