Shadow Hack

Chapter 946: Tears and Smiles

While proceeding southwest, Li Yunmu collected all cultivators he encountered in the path and put them in his heavenly world. Occasionally, he ran into a group of cultivators in some god ruins. Along the path, he obtained five godhoods, so together with Ru Shou’s godhood, he already had six.

There were more than a hundred cultivators in his heavenly world, and all of them were tribulation passing experts with their cultivation varying between initial stage to peak stage.

His harvest could be considered bountiful. The heavenly world was empty before, with only the spirits of fifteen gods of Asura City’s four clans imprisoned inside, and the mortals of Lanlou residing not far from them.

After learning about the cultivation system of the Goumang Real World from Yan Wanqiu, Li Yunmu had begun his plan to transform the Origin World.

He allowed all the mortals in the heavenly world to start cultivating and practice martial arts for building their foundation. Apart from that, the mortals would also throw stones at the fifteen gods whenever they walked past the box.

When Ru Shou and Jue Qingzi were sealed and put in hibernation, Li Yunmu placed them in a corner of his heavenly world.

After walking two thousand kilometers, Li Yunmu finally encountered Yan Wanqiu and the twins hidden at a secret place. The three of them were hiding in a cave, and Yan Wanqiu’s voice resounded inside it.

“Senior apprentice brother stayed behind to stop the disciples of Yin Manor and the true immortals of the Alliance to protect us. You two must remember this for eternity and directing all your resentment toward the Alliance and Yin Manor. Cultivate the secret technique as if your life depends on it!”

Yan Wanqiu solemnly looked at the two twins while speaking.

The boys nodded with sorrow and tears in their eyes.

Li Yunmu hid at the entrance and concealed his presence so he could eavesdrop.

In the cave, Yan Wanqiu looked at the twins who seemed to be weeping and said in a cold voice, “Don’t weep, you must remember that crying is for the weak. The accident this time was completely because of senior apprentice brother. If it were not for his indecisiveness, he would have got his hands on a godhood long ago, so why would he have needed to court disaster again and again to this day?”

After speaking up to there, Yan Wanqiu paused and wiped the moistness from the corners of her eyes. She then raised her head and said, “If he had obtained godhood earlier, he would’ve become an immortal long ago. Then why would he have needed to go to that god ruins after Leng Yan and provoke yin son of heaven into chasing him?

“... He still owes me a wedding!”

After saying that, Yan Wanqiu couldn’t control the tears from appearing in her eyes, and they began to fall as if the gates were opened. The twins also covered their mouths and began to weep without making any noise.

When Li Yunmu saw this scene, he felt somewhat guilty in his heart. The three of them were weeping for Jue Qingzi who was lying dormant at a corner of his heavenly world.

He had wanted to hear what Yan Wanqiu and the twins were saying secretly, but he hadn’t expected that they would be crying. After hearing that, Li Yunmu instantly arrived in front of the three and coughed lightly.

When Yan Wanqiu raised her head and saw Li Yunmu, her gaze turned calm. The next instant though, her excitement turned into despair and she softly asked, “How did you come here?”

“I was passing through and sensed a presence in the mountain. What are the three of you doing here?” Li Yunmu said while pretending to be confused.

“Nothing, since you have come, I want to make a deal with you.”

The pearl of the metal-attributed godhood appeared in Yan Wanqiu’s hand. It was completely round and smooth as if it was a liquid.

“I want to use this one-fifth of a godhood in exchange for you delivering us to the Alliance’s teleport channel. What do you think?”

When Li Yunmu saw Yan Wanqiu taking out the metal-attributed godhood without any hesitation, he was somewhat astonished. Jue Qingzi was killed by the disciples of Yin Manor, but Yan Wanqiu’s first thought wasn’t to collaborate with him for revenge, but to return to the Goumang Real World.

“You don’t have any plans to cooperate with me?” Li Yunmu suspiciously asked.

Yan Wanqiu gave a miserable smile and said, “If the situation was the same as before, I would’ve collaborated with you without any hesitation, but there’s no need anymore. Better tell me what do you think about the deal I mentioned just now?”

Just as Li Yunmu was about to say something, the system’s voice echoed in his mind. [If you continue to lie to her now and she learns that Jue Qingzi is alive later, she will definitely see you as the enemy.]

After hearing that, Li Yunmu looked at Yan Wanqiu, who had a calm and collected expression.

“Take a look, who is this?” he said with a smile.

He extended his palm in front of Yan Wanqiu and the twins. When the three pairs of eyes looked into the opening of the heavenly world with the dormant Jue Qingzi, Yan Wanqiu cried out in surprise.

“Senior apprentice brother!”

Yan Waniqu grabbed Li Yunmu’s hand and carefully observed Jue Qingzi, sensing the boundless majesty of his body. After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Li Yunmu while smiling brightly, which caused her eyes to turn into crescent moons.

“Did you save senior apprentice brother? Why not take him out?” she said with excitement.

“Observe him carefully. Do you feel any changes in his body,” Li Yunmu said mysteriously while continuing to smile.

Yan Wanqiu frowned and lowered her head to take a clear look through the crack in the palm. Jue Qingzi was lying on a patch of grass. Three feet around his body, sword intent in the form of a sword was roaming around. The most crucial thing, however, was that the fluctuations coming from Jue Qingzi’s soul were very weak, almost like those of an ordinary person.

Li Yunmu pulled his hand back and looked at Yan Wanqiu before asking, “Did you find any differences in Jue Qingzi?”

“Senior apprentice brother’s soul is very weak, completely unlike a tribulation passing expert’s soul. It is more like the soul of a mortal who had never cultivated. Moreover, the sword intent surrounding his body is very weak, seemingly completely powerless. Wait a minute...”

Just before she finished speaking, Yan Wanqiu paused. She raised her head and looked at Li Yunmu with her eyes wide.

“That’s right, your senior apprentice brother possesses an innate sword body. Previously, I saw you three being pulled by a sword, so I immediately returned. But I was still a step too late. Jue Qingzi had already ignited his cultivation and taken care of the three true immortals of the Alliance. His immortal soul and true soul had shattered.

“I gathered his true soul and used a secret elixir to let him be reborn. He was born with a new soul, and his body turned into an innate sword body. But he doesn’t have the memories of his previous life. It can be said that Jue Qingzi is still Jue Qingzi because it is his body, but he is also not Jue Qingzi because his soul is like a white paper,” Li Yunmu explained while looking at Yan Wanqiu.

After hearing his words, all the excitement on Yan Wanqiu’s face disappeared, and she began to frown while thinking about it. Then she slowly said, “That’s also good. At least he profited from the disaster and obtained an innate sword body.

“This could also be considered as a rebirth. Li Yunmu, can you bring senior apprentice brother with you to the Origin World? Let him mature there. Given his future potential, he can be of great assistance to your Origin World.”

“Why do you think so? Could it be that you don’t want to bring Jue Qingzi back to Profound Sword Pavilion with you?”
