Chapter 728: 14.4 Last Violet Star – Descending to the Mortal Realm
The overwhelming aura spread in the courtyard, and those men who were peeking at Hei Anjing almost flew out as if they were washed away by a powerful wave of energy. They knew that King Wuan had once again increased his strength.
Bai Hua and Hei Wan appeared at this moment and saved those fools sneaking peeks at their younger brother.
With a glare from him, “You’re watching my brother like stalkers again!? Scram!” Shouted Hei Wan.
HIIH!!!
The peeking gods and goddesses had all run away seeing King Wan’s fierce gaze. They knew how overprotective this eldest king was towards King Wuan. Not only him, even high highness Bai Hua and Her majesty Immortal Empress are too protective of King Wuan ever since he came out of purgatory. What they didn’t know was that there were even shadow guards surrounding the mansion under the orders of the Immortal Emperor himself. The whole Regal Hei Clan treats Hei Anjing like a precious treasure.
Hei Wan frowned and said, “These guys used to be afraid of A’Jing before but now they would peek at him almost every day. Should I put a defensive formation around the house? One that prevents strangers from going near the palace.”
“Good Idea but... Xiao Jing is about to descend so that will be useless,” said Bai Hua as he moved his gaze from his husband to Hei Anjing.
.....
“Xiao Jing, your cultivation increased again! Congratulations!” said Bai Hua.
Hei Anjing look at Bai Hua and Hei Wan with his usual cold expression and said,
“Hua-gege always congratulates me every time my strength increases. Thank you,” said Hei Anjing. “Greetings to Gege and Hua-gege.”
“No need for such formality. A’Jing, Empress Mother is waiting at the gate of the realms. You are now able to descend into the Mortal Realm,” said Hei Wan.
Unexpectedly, the usually cold and collected Hei Anjing almost misplaced the cup he was holding, and the sound of something clashing was heard.
Clank!
The black jade cup held by Hei Anjing’s slender and white fingers almost slipped his hands just now. Obviously, he was a bit startled and excited by what King Wan had just said. All these years this is the strongest reaction Bai Hua and Hei Wan had seen from their emotionless younger brother.
Suddenly, Hei Anjing appeared in front of the two as if he teleported and said, “Let’s go.”
Bai Hua and Hei Wan were a bit stunned seeing his reaction and could only smile afterward.
“Then let’s go!” said Bai Hua.
—
Gates of Realms. The only secured way to enter and leave the Heavenly Realm. Human cultivators who reached the ascension Stage and passed the Nine Heavenly Tribulation Lightning are qualified to enter these gates. Likewise, immortals who wanted to descend would get their real cultivation sealed and were only allowed to use the highest cultivation stage in the Mortal Qi Realm which is Soul Transformation.
Though the Ascension Stage is the highest in the mortal realm, those who possessed this strength are forced to undergo the Trials of Heaven and would be judged on whether they were allowed to enter the gates of the realm and successfully enter the Upper Realm. Of course, those who failed the trial either perished or were severely injured becoming a Land Immortal instead.
Waiting at the gates is the Immortal Empress, Cao Roulan. Not far from her is a carriage that would send down her youngest son pulled by six divine phoenixes. This is her personal carriage which she would use to bring Hei Anjing to the Mortal Realm safely.
As soon as the Immortal Empress saw her youngest son her serious expression was replaced with a blooming smile. She excitedly approached Hei Anjing to hug him and kissed his cheeks.
“Baby, Mommy has done all the preparation for you. This carriage is mommy’s personal ride. They would safely bring you to the Mortal Realm. I also bought a mountain and built a palace for you there. You can live there if you want.” said Cao Ruolan as she was hanging a black jade in the shape of a snowflake on her son’s belt. In the middle of the snowflakes, the crimson word ‘Hei’ looks prominent and alive. This is the official jade the Regal Hei Clan possesses.
“Be always careful, Baby. No need to hold back if you meet a devil just kill them on the spot,” said the Immortal Empress.
Hei Anjing nods at her. Then Bai Hua and Hei Wan approached their younger brother.
Bai Hua explained. “An’er listen for a moment to Hua-ge. The truth is that it is hard for Gods to descend without a medium but unexpectedly your former mortal name become notorious that it was listed as the Strongest Ghost King. Coincidentally a mortal who wished for revenge prepares a Sacrificial Summoning to call upon your soul. There is really no need to answer that call. Gods are never meant to always answer the calls of mortals or it would be endless.
I have used that to allow your body to descend but your godly physique would also be sealed as you reached the land of humans. Remember you must not use your real cultivation unless you’ve met a devil. Your mortal body is still weak, and your immortal stage cultivation cannot bear longer than a few minutes. Remember this alright? At most just use the Mortal Realm Cultivation okay?”
Hei Anjing nodded his head in agreement. After Bai Hua’s turn, it was Hei Wan who spoke next and told a few things to his younger brother. Though he knew that his brother is intelligent things wouldn’t be as perfect as always if something really happened. He didn’t forget to warn him of a few things
Hei Wan spoke, “A’Jing. Remember what we have told you before. Kill demons on sight when killing demons, you can use your real cultivation. Don’t kill too many humans and... remember to contact us if you have time.”
Hei Wan suddenly pulled his younger brother into a hug. Seeing such a scene, Bai Hua hugged him the same way.
Hei Anjing, both of them, said, “I will go now. Gege, Hua-ge.”
Preparing to leave he saw the woman who called herself his mother crying in the corner while trying her hardest not to catch his attention. Hei Anjing saw that and couldn’t help but gave her a hug and whisper, “I’ll be going now, Mom.”
This was the first time Hei Anjing was called the Immortal Empress mother. Hearing those words made the Goddess cry even harder as she hugs Hei Anjing lightly, afraid that she might not be able to let him go if she hugged him tighter.
Hei Anjing also noticed the hidden figure not far from their group looking at him. He knew who it was. If there is someone who can stop him from leaving without question it can only be done by that hidden figure but the latter didn’t make any move instead that person just watches him from a distance not intending to leave unless he safely passes through the gates.
He never hated this person. His original punishment is soul extinction for going against the Immortal Heaven Laws. It was this person who had lessened his punishment to imprisonment. He knew that despite this person’s emotionless face like his, he had always cared for him.
Hei Anjing waves his hand while looking at the hidden figure behind the three crybabies seeing him off.
“I’m going now, Mom! Gege! Hua-gege! And... Dad!” said Hei Anjing with the same expressionless face as his.
His words stunned the three people before him. They were shocked to the point that they instantly stopped crying and immediately looked behind them to see the man their youngest just called Dad.
The moment the youngest had left the Immortal Realm, he didn’t know that his last words had become the cause of chaos in the Immortal Realm. The Goddess with them having the highest cultivation that matches the Immortal Emperor instantly made her move the moment she heard what her youngest baby just said and teleported to catch the hidden figure just a short distance before them but when they arrived at the location aside from the traces that someone was there, the figure they wish to see is not found.
This is why they immediately teleported to the palace to check on their said emperor only to see that he was seated on his throne talking to his ministers. Hei Wan and Bai Hua left the palace with disappointment only the Empress Goddess remained to observe her husband who was looking at her from the corner of his eyes. If not because she knew the man too well that her reaction will be like her eldest son and her son-in-law.
She waited until the minister left the throne room, leaving only the immortal couple inside. There was silence inside the room the moment only the two were left inside.
The Immortal Empress, Xue Wuxia questioned. “Why didn’t you properly see off our youngest with us? Don’t you know how much we owe our baby?”
“...But... it was my fault that...” without much hint of changes in his emotionless face, the man on the throne spoke but once one looked closely at those pair of irises with the same shade as the moon showing ripples of emotions within one who would though he is completely cold.
This is the current Immortal Emperor of Heavens. When all misunderstandings between him and his wife were cleared, this immortal emperor slowly regains his emotions though it doesn’t really show on his rigid face.
Xue Wuxia didn’t like what she just heard and what her husband had just said.
“Didn’t I’ve already said it before, that this was our fault?”
“...”
The Immortal Emperor despite being the strongest in the world could never defeat his wife in words. He decided to keep his mouth shut instead.
The Immortal Empress said, “Sigh~ forget about it. I heard you saying that our baby took a liking to a mortal cultivator from the Mortal Realm and it was someone from your former sect. Then that means the boy is dense like you huh?”
“That... I think this time it is our son who is dense. The boy has been waiting for our baby to return without fail for more than 10 years in a mortal timeline. The boy has been trying to reach our baby with Ghost Call thinking that he passed away. He had been doing it for 10 whole years without discontinuing. Even I admire that boy’s loyalty to our baby,” said the Immortal Emperor, Hei Tianyu.
The Immortal Empress retorted, “Hmp! I heard from Wan’er that the boy failed to protect our baby in that mortal land. If he is weak then forget about it. This Empress won’t accept him if he is not at least as strong as our eldest!”
“I do not think that boy is weak. I mean the soul in that boy’s body happens to be the former God of Judgement, Ye Xiajie,” said Hei Tianyu.
A frown surfaced on the peerless face of the Immortal Empress who took a seat at the other throne beside the one Hei Tianyu is seated. That was a throne only for the Immortal Empress to seat on.
Xue Wuxia said, “Ye Xiajie? Do you mean that boy from the Judiciary Hall? But isn’t that kid supposed to be dead as he hadn’t returned to the Heavenly Realm after he completed his trials? You punished him to stay in the Mortal Realm until he defeated the Devil Emperor after learning that he caused our baby to activate your bloodline’s curse.”
“He doesn’t deserve to return. Didn’t he fail his main mission to protect Xiao Jing? Moreover, he wanted to come back and plead for Xiao Jing if I allowed him to return then things in the Heavenly Court would be more chaotic with only Xiao Jing’s trial result of failure. I could barely protect Xiao Jing at that time. If he came back too then his punishment would definitely be more severe than Xiao Jing. I don’t want Xiao Jing to hate me with all his heart,” said Hei Tianyu, the Immortal Emperor.
Xue Wuxia said, “Is he the Oath Bearer? Didn’t you seal his memories as the God of Judgment? What would happen if he ended up hating our baby when he learned who he was originally?”
“He can never hate Xiao Jing. In the first place, he worked hard to become the God of Judgment just to stand in an equal position as Xiao Jing. Unfortunately, our son is dense when it comes to emotional things and he is timid. Not even daring to confess his love for Xiao Jing all these years,” said Hei Tianyu.
Xue Wuxia raised an eyebrow at her husband and said, “Aren’t you the same as him? Not only I had misunderstood you all these years and you never clarified until I confronted you. I was the one who confessed to you in the first place!”
“Yes. Yes. It’s my fault. Don’t be angry anymore sweetheart,” coaxed the Immortal Emperor.
Snort!
“Hmp! Either way my younger sister and her husband can take care of my son in the mortal realm. Then they can all ascend together once and for all!” said the Immortal Empress, Xue Luxia.
The Immortal Empress just snorted at her husband and the Immortal Emperor had to coax her for a few days.
