173: Water Jutsu Again
🕑 Added 2025-02-06 15:38:26 +0000 UTCA few days later, high above the capital city of the Red Sun Star Realm.
The Realm King and his officers stood in the sky, waiting respectfully for someone.
Everyone, including the Realm King, wore expressions of barely concealed nervousness.
It was as if they were awaiting their judge, ready to deliver judgment upon them.
Whoosh!
Soon, a radiant purple dot of light appeared on the horizon. Within seconds, the dot zoomed closer and landed in front of them. It was a man who appeared to be in his early thirties, with a handsome face, black hair, and piercing black eyes.
When he appeared, everyone, including the Realm King, immediately bowed deeply and said in unison, "We respectfully greet the Lord Radiant Mountain Realm's Realm King!"
The man's expression was terrifyingly cold. He scanned the crowd before fixing his gaze on their leader and spoke in a frosty tone, "Where is Han'er?"
"The... the young master is inside," the Red Sun Realm King said, his voice trembling. He cautiously raised his head but didn't dare to straighten from his bow, fearing he might anger this mighty Divine Master.
"..." The Radiant Mountain Realm's Realm King frowned. He spread his senses, and within moments, they enveloped the entire city. Soon, he detected the faint aura of his son.
Swoosh!
No longer paying attention to the people trembling before him, his body blurred as he shot toward the direction where his son was.
"My lord, wait!" His sudden movement startled the others, and they quickly chased after him.
Although this son of his was nothing but a disappointing and useless waste, he was still, after all, his son. When he heard the news of his son's injury, he ignored his subordinates' dissuasions and immediately rushed here.
If he couldn't even personally seek revenge for his son, then what was the point of all his cultivation over these thousands of years?!
"Han'er..." With the speed of a Divine Master, he reached his destination in just moments. He pushed open the door and entered the room, immediately calling out for his son. However, the words caught in his throat as he saw the state of his son's body.
His hands trembled, his entire body shook violently, and his eyes, once filled with cold anger, now quivered uncontrollably. His pupils dilated rapidly, almost covering the entirety of his eyeballs.
Boom!
A raging and violent aura suddenly erupted from his body. The floor beneath him cracked, the walls of the palace began to collapse, and even the bed where his half-dead son lay started to shake. When the group from the Red Sun Realm caught up with him, the aura threw them all back, except for the Realm King, who resisted the overwhelming pressure and managed to fly closer.
"My... my lord, please calm your anger. Your... your esteemed son will be affected," he pleaded, trembling, while desperately trying to withstand the crushing pressure.
"My son?! Are you calling that thing my son?!!" He pointed at the mangled mass of flesh lying on the bed and roared, his face contorted as if a million worms were writhing beneath his skin. Fury and killing intent erupted from him like an active volcano.
The Red Sun Realm King's face turned pale. He immediately knelt on the ground and shouted desperately, "My lord! My lord, please calm your anger! This lowly one had no idea someone would dare harm the young master!"
"Hahaha, you didn't know? Ahahaha, you didn't know? Ahahaha!" Hearing his words, the man was so enraged that he burst into laughter. He then thrust out his hand, grabbing the Red Sun Realm King by the neck and lifting him up. His cold eyes locked onto the Realm King's, and he spoke slowly, "Tell me... who did this?"
"I... I don't know... We only have this profound imagery stone," the Red Sun Realm King's pale face turned even paler. This was the question he had desperately tried to answer all this time—who was the person who did it? How did he come to this realm? Where was he now? And, more importantly, why did he do it?
Trembling, he took a profound imagery stone from his storage space and handed it to the Radiant Mountain Realm's Realm King.
Bang!
The furious man casually threw the Red Sun Realm King aside and grabbed the profound imagery stone. He injected profound energy into it, and soon, the video of Yun Wuji torturing his son played before his eyes, accompanied by the desperate cries of his child. After watching the entire video, the man's teeth shattered from how hard he clenched them.
He crushed the stone in his hand, raised his head, and let out a mad laugh before saying slowly, "Since you couldn't protect Han'er... then... you can all... die... with him!"
"Eh? Wait! Nooo!" The Red Sun Realm King didn't react—or rather, he couldn't believe that the Radiant Mountain Realm's Realm King would do something so drastic.
Purple light suddenly erupted from the Radiant Mountain Realm's Realm King, enveloping the entire palace and expanding at an astonishing speed.
That day, many people across various parts of the Red Sun Star Realm saw a purple light erupting from the direction of the capital city. When they rushed there to see what had happened, they didn't find the capital city, only a vast, bottomless hole.
...
"So you caught Hanxue practicing her water jutsu? Hahaha!"
On a random giant meteor, Yun Wuji floated mid-air in a reclining position, his hands behind his head. A screen displaying the faces of all his women hovered in front of him.
Fang Hanyue had just revealed that she caught her sister practicing her water jutsu in his room, exposing her in front of everyone.
"Hmph! Why are you laughing? Isn't this because I missed you?!" Fang Hanxue's face flushed red as she glared hatefully at her twin sister before turning her glare back to Yun Wuji.
When she said these words, the laughter from Yun Wuji and the other women stopped. They all looked at Yun Wuji silently, but the emotions in their eyes were clear, they missed him deeply.
"...I missed you all too. I missed you so much," Yun Wuji said after taking a deep breath. Although it had only been a few months since he left the Blue Pole Star and he communicated with them every day, he still missed them terribly. He longed to see them face to face, to hold them in his arms, and to ease his yearning.
But he knew that for the sake of their future, he couldn't abandon his plans and return just yet.
"Husband~"
Yun Wuji continued to chat with them for a while longer before finally cutting the connection.
He landed on the ground and stretched, then walked over to a formation a few hundred meters wide. Standing at its center, he gazed far to the south and muttered, "According to my estimation, he should be here soon..."
Before leaving the brothel that day, he had deliberately left traces of his aura on the profound imagery stone to make it easier for Young Master Han's father to find him. With the senses of a Divine Master, as long as he was determined, he could track him down.
Back then, Xia Qingyue's mother, Yue Wugou, left the Blue Pole Star the moment she recovered her memories and strength. She feared that the Moon God Emperor would find her just from the resurgence of her aura.
"In that case, let's begin," Yun Wuji said lightly before activating the formation. This formation wasn't anything extraordinary it wasn't designed to help him fight a Divine Master or grant him some magical power to defeat one in a single blow. Its sole purpose was to conceal the silver light that erupted when Yun Wuji used Invictus or Deus Ex Machina.
Qianye Ying'er was searching for him all across the Eastern Divine Region. Even if the chances were low, he didn't want to risk drawing her or her subordinates' attention to him right now.
When he activated the formation, a transparent barrier spread around him, covering a three-hundred-meter radius and rising five meters high. As the formation took effect, Yun Wuji closed his eyes, and a bright silver light erupted from his body, surging toward the sky like a pillar piercing the heavens. However, the silver light barely rose a few hundred meters before crashing against the barrier, unable to break through.
Invictus! This was the second time Yun Wuji had used this skill.
'What is he doing?' Hiding a few hundred meters away from where Yun Wuji was, Mu Xuanyin frowned. She had no idea what this kid was up to this time.
She had been following him all along, finding his actions very strange, but she didn't try to stop him, even when he was actively provoking a Divine Master.
"Impossible!" Mu Xuanyin's eyes widened as she witnessed something that shattered all her common sense and the very laws of the world. Right before her, Yun Wuji's cultivation rose at an astonishing rate.
1st level Divine Tribulation Realm.
2nd level...
3rd...
7th level Divine Tribulation Realm!
8th level Divine Tribulation Realm!
9th level Divine Tribulation Realm!
Mu Xuanyin's eyes widened so much they nearly popped out! Even though it happened right before her, she still couldn't bring herself to believe it!
"What is this sorcery?!" Chi Wuyao's astounded voice echoed in her soul.
Yun Wuji had shocked them both time and time again with his secrets, but this time, he shattered all her common sense and knowledge. She was so stunned that she abruptly stood up and shouted, startling the Witches beside her.
How could someone's cultivation suddenly rise by an entire realm?!
What they didn't know was that Yun Wuji's cultivation didn't stop at the 9th level, it kept climbing until it reached the 10th level Divine Tribulation Realm.
Unlike other cultivation realms, the Divine Tribulation Realm only had nine levels. Yun Wuji had originally been at the 11th level Divine Soul Realm, but after advancing an entire great realm, he reached the 10th level Divine Tribulation Realm.
Others couldn't sense the extra small realm in his cultivation. Even if he were at the 12th level of the Divine Tribulation Realm, to them, it would only appear as though he was at the 9th level.
Yun Wuji slowly opened his silver eyes, now devoid of any emotion, completely cold and indifferent. He raised his hand and clenched it tightly, his long silver hair swaying without a breath of wind. With a subtle movement, he lifted his hair and glanced toward a certain direction.
A few minutes later, a purple dot suddenly appeared in his vision, approaching him rapidly.
'He's finally here,' Yun Wuji narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself.
'He really came!' On the other hand, Mu Xuanyin's body tensed as she watched the approaching figure.
