828 14.104 Last Violet Star – (Past) Awakening a Special Physique.
The nest of demonic creatures beneath the lake was destroyed with just two powerful moves from Yun Xiajie and Bai Wuan. After the cleanup was complete, Bai Wuan and his Dao Companion flew back to the shore. They have attended to their two injured families.
Bai Wuan said, “Elder Brother Yun would need to meditate for a few days to heal your meridians. I will give you some pills to cure you faster than normal.”
“As for Qiqi, we need to stay here for a while. I must help him fully awaken his Yin Physique and he cannot move until he fully awakens it. Elder brother Yun, can you and A’Xia please inform the elders about Qiqi’s situation for me?”
Yun Huaxia glanced at his lover worriedly and responded, “Leave it to me. I will go back alone. Let A’Xia stay and protect you both from harm. I will try to come back as soon as possible. Please take of Yin’er for me, A’Wuan.”
“Don’t worry, Elder Brother Yun. Nothing bad will happen to Qiqi. I will make sure his awakening is smoothly done!” said Bai Wuan as he handed some pills to Yun Huaxia.
Just now, Yun Huaxia consumed a Qi Gathering pull and discovered that the pills his brother-in-law had given him were all of the highest quality. Such a feat can only be accomplished by a Master of Pill alchemy.
“These pills are all top-grade. Where did you buy them? I wanted to get some for my missions,” said Yun Huaxia.
Yun Xiajie spoke, “Give me a list of pills you wanted and the herbs. Jing’er will make some pills for brother.”
“You made this, A’Wuan? Ah, yes! You made Regeneration Pills before!” said Yun Huaxia in surprise. He didn’t expect Bai Wuan to have such talent in pill alchemy at the level at which he makes different kinds of pills.
.....
Bai Wuan replies, “It wasn’t much. I’ve also thought about Qiqi and Lili about pill alchemy. Just ask him to bake a few ordinary grades for practice so his skill in Pill Alchemy will get better. I think he would listen to you more about his studies. Qiqi always escapes when I tried to teach him more. Lili is more obedient than him.”
“Then I will make a list and ask A’Wuan for some. As long as it does not bother you much you can give it to me anytime,” Yun Huaxia said.
Yun Xiajie commented, “Please pay for the herbs, brother.”
“Of course! I will pay for the herbs. Don’t worry I won’t cheat money with your wife. Hahaha~” said Yun Huaxia before taking his leave to report to the Sect.
Bai Wuan and Yun Huaxia remained to keep an eye on Bai Qiyin as he through the Physique awakening. The area around Bai Qiyin has begun to freeze. Ice and snow blanketed the ground under him, and snow swirled all over his body as it plummeted from above. The body of Bai Qiyin slowly became entirely encased in Ice while being watched by Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie.
Yun Xiajie asked, “What is his physique? Is it a Yin?”
“Yes. His physique is a Nine Yin Meridian Yin Physique. It was the second-strongest Ice Physique which allowed one to have control over ice elements greater than others. After he awakened this physique, a cold temperature would be like a breeze for him and he wouldn’t even feel the frost during winter. Others, especially ordinary people, would freeze if they approached him if he lost control. But Elder Brother Yun should be fine, he awakened a Nine Sun Yang Physique after all. Both of their physiques complement each other,” explained Bai Wuan.
Yun Xiajie intertwined their fingers and hugged his lover.
He asked, “How about your physique, Jing’er? It seems you have full control over it. Moreover, it’s a lot stronger than your brother’s physique.”
“It’s Extreme Yin Primordial Physique. It’s the opposite of your Eternal Yang Demonic Physique. I have absolute control over Ice elements and my Ice Avatar had a soul. As for yours, you have absolute control over the Abyss. The Darkness is your domain but your current body is too weak to wield its full power. You rarely use it as Dark Elements is something only the devil race can use. But that isn’t true, there are lots of mortals who wield negative elements like darkness. Don’t be afraid to use it,” said Bai Wuan.
Yun Xiajie hugged his partner even more tightly. He eventually asked something that confused him after a few minutes of being silent.
“Jing’er... Do you know what it means to be an outsider of this world?” he asked.
Although the question was a little sudden, Bai Wuan just grinned at it. He was aware that his lover’s core spirit must have briefly woken during his last coma and spoken to him about a few things.
Bai Wuan asked, “Did your other self tell you that?”
“You know about him? What is his name?” asked Yun Xiajie.
Bai Wuan asked, “You and he are one person. He is a God version of you. Either way, as an outsider it meant that we weren’t originally born in this world. There are countless universes, worlds, and dimensions beyond this one. You would understand everything when the time comes. As for identity in this world, we descended together to complete our trials. My mission in this world is to prevent the Devil Race from completely invading this land of Mortals. This is also a part of your mission but... I do not know the rest of your circumstances. From where we came from, I am just a friend in your eyes. So A’Xia... are you sure you love me?”
He turned and cupped the Second Young Master Yun’s cheeks while maintaining a direct gaze with those crimson-gold irises. In the future, those eyes will entirely become scarlet, according to what Bai Wuan had seen before. Stars and malice sparkle in those eyes as if the universe was held within
Yun Xiajie stared back at his lover fearlessly and responded, “I love you whether in the present or will be in the future. I don’t care about the past too much. If I don’t like you in my previous life meant that I’m an amnesiac at that time too...”
When he heard his sweetheart say those things, Bai Wuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The tears were gathering in the corners of his eyes from laughing too much.
Bai Wuan says while holding his stomach, “Hahaha! Oh my God, I’m dying. Pfft~ Haha~ you know yourself too well, my husband!”
“So you mean that after we completed our trials we will return to where we came from? Where is that, Jing’er?” he asked.
“The Upper Realm. Heavenly Domain under the rule of the Immortal Emperor,” answered Bai Wuan with his usual teasing smile.
While they wait for Bai Qiyin to finish his awakening, the two converse for a considerable amount of time. It took Bai Qiyin three days to emerge from his meditation condition and realize how much stronger he felt than previously. From the Fifth Level of the Establishment Foundation Stage to the Seventh Level, his cultivation had also substantially improved. He finally woke up when it was almost past midday.
He heard applause around him and saw Yun Xiajie, who was standing in front of him without showing any emotion, hugging his older brother, annoyed Bai Qiyin. Only when speaking to his older brother did this man’s countenance alter; otherwise, everyone else received the same cold treatment.
Senior Brother Bai said, “Congratulations Qiqi! You have now completely awakened your Nine Meridian Physique. Brother will pass a technique that would allow you to control the excess qi your body is emitting. It’s just a breathing technique so you wouldn’t accidentally freeze anyone who would approach you.”
Bai Wuan was proud of his younger brother’s accomplishment and delighted in his increase in strength.
As he conveyed a breathing method via his brother’s mind, Bai Wuan pointed his index finger at his forehead for transfer. After receiving the method, Bai Qiyin was overcome with the knowledge that applying it would accelerate his cultivation. He now saw why his older brother developed physically faster than everybody else. It occurred as a result of his unique Yin Physique awakening earlier than others in the Bai Clan.
“You can also teach your Dao Companion this breathing technique. It was also compatible with his Yang Physique. Since you are done, shall we return to the Sect? Elder Brother Yun had been worried about you? If he wasn’t injured and needed to meditate as well, he might have waited here for you to finish your awakening,” said Bai Wuan.
Worried, Bai Qiyun asked, “Brother Hua is also injured? How is he brother?”
“I gave him enough pills. He should come out from his seclusion after a few days. On the other hand, you need to solidify your foundation. Didn’t I’ve forbidden you to use Ice world without reaching the Peak Establishment Foundation Stage? That technique greatly needs full control over the ice element or you would be frozen yourself. Thankfully, you were able to use it well. Now that your special physique has awakened there shouldn’t be any more problems using that technique,” explained Bai Wuan.
Bai Qiyin said, “That’s great! I finally got stronger!”
“Um~ you will visit our courtyard every day. I will teach you new moves using ice elements as the core. Now that you have awakened fully, you can control more ice elemental qi than before. In places with water, you would be stronger than others. But please learn how to unfreeze people without killing them. I’m afraid you might accidentally freeze someone and instantly kill them. So I will teach you personally until you have fully controlled your new abilities. You cannot run away this time or I’ll throw you at the cliff near the Infernal Region to train!” warned Bai Wuan which made his younger brother tremble. This threat to his elder brother is real. He had already tossed the First Lord of Lu Clan on that cliff when he pestered him for sparring multiple times.
After they had finished talking, the three of them left. Yun Xijaie to handle the reporting as they went back to the Lan Zhuayun Sect. The Bai brothers waited in the courtyard while gazing up at the full moon waiting for the Second Young master Yun to return.
Bai Qiyin asked, “Brother... Do you really like Yun Jieye? I mean you accepted his proposal as his future Dao Companion.”
“Yes... Do you know like A’Xia, Qiqi? But you must get along brother had no intention of choosing another man to be my dao companion in the future. It will be only him no matter what happens. Please get along with him alright?” said Bai Wuan as he pats his younger brother’s head.
Pouting Bai Qiyin said, “Okay. Since my brother chose him then I will accept him as my brother-in-law. Even if he is a bit obnoxious and annoying at least he is completely serious in brother. Though he is annoyingly possessive. Tsk!”
“Stop clicking your tongue. I told you to control your temper. Look at our house’s patio, you covered it in ice!” scolded Bai Wuan.
Bai Qiyin felt bad and immediately removed the ice under him.
“Sorry, brother. I’m still trying to put it under control at all times. But my temper had never been good before. What should I do?” asked Bai Wuan as he knew his disparities.
Bai Wuan spoke, “Maybe I should teach you not to control your temper but to remove the cold in your ice instead. Lest you might accidentally kill someone if you lost your temper. Listen carefully Qiqi. I will only explain this technique once. Make sure to remember it well.”
Bai Qiyin obediently nods his head and listens to his elder brother’s teachings. They spent the time training like this until Yun Xiajie came back home and kicked out Bai Qiyin who was almost late for his curfew for today.
At the top of the mountain, Bai Qiyin’s cries could be heard while arguing with Yun Xiajie, who ejects him from the house and invites his brother inside before he can even say goodnight and goodbye. Even though Yun Xiajie appears to be peaceful when he is silent, he actually has a despotic attitude toward everyone except his wife. He didn’t care if Bai Qiyin continued to yell outside his house. But if he bothered his loved one, who was finally dozing off that night, he made a move and hurled the young man out from his mountain peak.
