790 14.66 Last Violet Star – Going Back
Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang had completed speaking with Elder Hou Yi. They all left the borders and flew toward the valley’s depths after performing an amorphous cleanup preparation.
The mansion itself was surrounded by uncountable zombies at the valley’s center. The undead was piled up there as if they were trying to build a ladder to the sky. They moved somewhat slowly because Hei Anjing’s flying boat had already left the dock. They are currently positioned in such an odd manner, wriggling like a tofu tower constructed of the dead.
“They appear to be going to tumble like a Jenga tower,” Zhi Yue said of this scene.
Pfft!
Zhi Yang was the person who was laughing just now. The boom was enough to startle the folks next to him, even though no one could currently see his reaction.
Zhi Yue exclaimed, “A’Yang, you laughed!” with joy.
Cough!
Zhi Yang said, “I didn’t know. You were hearing things.”
Elder Hou was perplexed and inquired, “What is a Jenga?”
.....
Rumbles~ rumbles~
From a distance, thunder and lightning storm sounds can be heard. It was clear that Zhi Yue had once again acted inappropriately. The term “Jenga” is unique to the modern era and not to a more civilized society like this one.
“You are hearing things!! I said that they looked like a wriggling tower of tofu,” Zhi Yue exclaimed after briefly losing his composure.
Cough!
Zhi Yang asked as he waved his palm and threw red gold flames at the miniature zombie tower, “Is there even a difference with what you said?”
The moment the red-gold flame hit its intended target, it exploded and reduced everything to ashes. Fortunately, Zhi Yang was only interested in destroying the hordes of undead; otherwise, if he hadn’t stopped the flame from spreading, it might have destroyed the entire valley.
Under their eyes, a mixture of crimson and gold fires could be seen. Elder Hou Yi was taken speechless as Zhi Yue admired the lovely scene before him. They were familiar with all types of fire because they are a sect that handles fire components. He knew right away what kind of fire Zhi Yang had just utilized.
Elder Hou Yi muttered, “Holy Sun Flame! A flame with both fire and light elements. It can burn all evil and negativity in the world but never causes harm to anything else unless the holder commands it.” Elder Hou Yi was stunned and puzzled.
His eyes were glistening with admiration and wonder. As a cultivator who uses the fire element, he would unquestionably appreciate and look up to others who possess such a rare flame. Holy Sun Flame falls within the domain of divine fire as well. It was the second rarest and fiercest fire in all realms, even in Vearth.
“Are we finished with the cleaning, Zhi Yang? Let’s go after the Lords!” Zhi Yue grinned at Zhi Yang.
Zhi Yang didn’t immediately respond, “Hm. Do excuse us. We have to go,” he said, cupping his hands and turning to face Elder Ho Yi.
Respectfully, Elder Hou Yi stated, “Un. Sir Zhi Yang, Sir Zhi Yue, please be careful on your way.” The elder was amazed by their strength up until this point. having a special fire like the Holy Sun Flame in particular.
Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang ripped a teleportation scroll that was intended for the flying boat after greeting Elder Hou Yi.
Astonished once more, Elder Hou Yi could only mutter, “A Space Teleportation Scroll!? A Spatial Element!? Is that the one they’ve ripped!? This can’t be happening, I need to report to his majesty about this!”

Yun Fan introduced him to Yun Anjie and Yun Xing on the flying boat after mending his ties with his parents. Xue Yueguang chose to cook a BBQ so they could spend more time together. Freshly caught materials were used, and as a flying wind eagle attacked the ship and was about to be cooked, Zhi Yue and Zhu Yang unexpectedly materialized out of thin air.
“This chicken smells great, can I have some too?” Zhi Yue exclaimed after taking a whiff.
“...!!!...”
Fan Yunya and Xue Yueguang weren’t startled, but the kids were. They had already witnessed space teleportation, which is frequent at the higher level. In addition, the suddenly appearing space doorway was undoubtedly mounted on the ship.
“Brother Yang, Brother Yue!? H-How can you suddenly arrive like that,” Yun Fan shouted.
“Is this your first encounter with space teleportation? If you have a space scroll, you can use it,” smiled Zhi Yue. Like the young disciples on the ship, he has a childlike appearance. He occasionally appears to be more mature than Yun Xing and Yun Anjie.
“A Space Scroll? Aren’t those the ones from the legends?” said Yun Anjie.
“Legends? If you want some, ask Lord Hei to create a few for you; he can do it while closing his eyes,” remarked Zhi Yue.
Although he only has mediocre control over water and fire compared to the first three, Zhi Yang observes that “Lord Hei can handle Ice, Space, and Blood Elements. But the Lord cannot employ light element; his compatibility with it is nearly nonexistent.”
Yun Xing inquired, “Is it possible to control elements other than the one you were born with?”
“Of course. As long as you have compatibility with it, you can use it, though it would be weaker than the ones you are born with. However, it is true that Wu’er is born with no compatibility with light elements; it can be said that light elements reject him. Even we didn’t know the reason why,” Xue Yueguang replied.
Fan Yunya questioned, “Does this mean light elements can injure him?”
“Hm, it’s not like that, but... You can say so as well. It may be stated that employing the light element to heal him is ineffective. After all, even being immortal won’t prevent you from getting hurt in battle, right?”
Fan Yunya questioned, “How can he heal himself then?”
“Blood element could significantly speed up his regeneration, and at his best, no one would be able to scratch him as long as he used both his immortality and blood elements simultaneously,” response from Xue Yueguang.
Yun Fan said, “Wow, Brother Hei is that good!”
Xue Yueguang said, “Of course! Before entering the Mortal Realm, he was tied for second place with the God of Judgment in terms of strength and cultivation with the Immortal Emperor.”
“What kind of God are you, Dad? Most immortals are regarded as Gods in the immortal realm,” Yun Fan questioned.
“I’m the God of Winter,” Xue Yueguang retorted.
“You are too friendly to be regarded as the incarnation of coldness, God of Winter!,” Zhi Yue exclaimed.
Fan Yunya remarked, “He wasn’t like this when I first met Yue’er. He used to be expressionless and had this icy disposition all over him. The man at that time is without a doubt the God of Winter.”
He was grilling the chicken when his wife, who was standing next to him, suddenly threw an elbow at him.
Urgh~
“Just concentrate on cooking,” Xue Yueguang said.
“Yes, my dear,” Fan Yunya replied.
Yun Anjie was going to inquire, “What about Senior Hei? What type of God is he?” when he suddenly had an interest in what kind of God Senior Hei is.
Xue Yueguang said, “I heard through Xiao Fan that you’ve encountered the White and Black Impermanence, so guess what kind of God he is. By the way, the Upper Realm doesn’t have a God of Death.”
“God of the underworld,” was Yun Xing’s educated guess.
The child had answered incorrectly, as indicated by Xue Yueguang’s response, “Not bad, but there isn’t any God of the Underworld, even though the underworld is under Wu’er’s rule.”
Yun Fan naively questioned, “God of Justice? I mean, I overheard him talk about karma and merits, but... He doesn’t appear to care much about others, so my guess seems wrong.”
“Um. You are wrong, son. The Gods and Goddesses would adore and dread your brother at the same time because he is the most unbiased being in the Heavenly Domain,” Xue Yueguang said. “Your brother is considered the most vicious God in the Upper Realm.”
“Impartial and Ruthless? Is he the God of Punishment?” murmured Yun Anjie.
Xue Yueguang remarked, “Your smart boy! How did you guess?”
In response, Yun Anjie said, “To be impartial means he sees all sinners through their sins regardless of their relationship or title. To be ruthless means he would bestow the right penalty without any hesitation. If he only based on sins to declare results it means he cannot become the God of Judgement who sees through merits before sins. Then he can only be the God of Punishment. People revere him because he is impartial to his means, and because of his ruthlessness they also feared him.”
Hearing such a detailed explanation from a small kid who is the same age as his son, Xue Yueguang said, “This youngster is extremely smart. How come my son is...”
“Anye is the wisest of all the young disciples, and I cannot even be compared,” Yun Fan bragged.
Xue Yueguang muttered, “Darling, don’t you know that your Brother Hei has the most poisonous tongue in our family and also has the sharpest brain in our family, which is why those elderly men in the Heavenly Court could only close their mouths in his presence.”
When Fan Yunya saw Hei Anjing and Yun Xiajie exit the inner deck, he couldn’t help but cover his wife’s mouth.
Fan Yunya said to his wife in a hushed voice, “Dear, look at the door. Our nephew is here.” Only then did Xue Yueguang stop speaking.
“Uncle... I’m hungry. Please give me the whole chicken thigh and legs. Please don’t make it spicy. Please use a little less oil. I want it as soon as possible. Thank you.” said Hei Anjing.
At first shocked, Xue Yueguang looked at the Chicken thigh that he had kept for himself. The one Fan Yunya is nearly finished preparing. He had been waiting for it for some time, and he had been getting hungry. Who would have thought that his nephew would emerge out of nowhere while insulting him? He no longer has the opportunity to consume this chicken due to his loud voice.
“I’ll have it ready for you.”
Even Fan Yunya and his son, Yun Fan, couldn’t help but chuckle when they saw how miserable he was. Hei Anjing was definitely impossible to refuse. More so than Chun Hongyun-Jun, even all the elders of the sect would always comply with his requests.
Everyone began to eat. They were all polite and avoided talking throughout meals. When Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya were grownups and realized that talking during meals might harm these children, the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect established a rule against talking during meals. If you didn’t strike up a conversation, Hei Anjing would remain silent. Only softly whispering into his ears, Yun Xiajie would nudge him to eat more.
Everyone congregated on the deck for afternoon tea after dining.
“Jin Shiyan, you should conceal for a time until your treatment is complete,” Hei Anjing said. “Even if Jin Baihua knew we traveled to the Death Valley, that doesn’t mean he will resign from his job just because you returned. To him, you are just a disabled man.”
“I will listen to your arrangement, Brother Hei, but I still want to let Lili know. I understand how wonderfully those ancient items act,” said Jin Shiyan.
Hei Anjing nods and says, “I shall notify them. Don’t worry, you can meet them soon enough. I intend to start teaching at (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect next month; Qiqi and Lili would undoubtedly come over.”
Jin Shiyan answered, “Then I’ll thank my brother first,” but just as he was ready to do so, he felt something stop him.
“We are family, so there’s no need for thanks,” Hei Anjing said.
The former Jin Clan Sect heir rejoiced at his good fortune. Even if his brother-in-law is much less outgoing and has a colder disposition than previously, his behavior toward his own folks doesn’t change. Being a family member to this man, Jin Shiyan is fortunate, at least in comparison to outsiders with whom Hei Anjing wouldn’t even bat an eye too.
“Uncle, what do you plan to do? Are you going to join the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect alongside Uncle Fan?” Hei Anjing then questioned his older brother.
“Your second aunt would be upset if even I joined the Lan Zhuayun Sect, so your Uncle Fan would, but I can’t,” stated Xue Yueguang.
“Then Dad, are you not going to live with me and Father?” Yun Fan asked as he turned to face his father.
Xue Yueguang responded, “I will, but my name must be associated with the Bai Clan rather than the Lan Zhuayun Sect, or else your Second Aunt, Madam Bai, will beat up your dad.”
The rest of the voyage is spent in a conversation between them. Hei Anjing occasionally spoke while the other members of the family mediated or played musical instruments. It was mostly a family of three.
