Chapter 511 - 507: A Price

After Wei Wuyin’s departure, the various powers and clans of human and elven races were left without a purpose. They returned to their homes, marking the year-long date in their minds. Until then, it seemed there wouldn’t be a conclusion to the Holy Children’s War.

Due to the continuous fights and deaths of Realmlords, the inhabitants of the entire continent had termed the Holy Challenges between the various Holy Children as a war, a religious battle to determine the most powerful Holy Child that will become the central Holy Bloodline. There were only two that remained, so they were a little late. Still, history would be written regardless of the outcome and this period would forever be regarded as the Holy Children’s War.

"You said what?" A stern voice resounded. It belonged to Tang Xingyun. She was currently sitting on a throne-like chair within the Voidship’s Main Hall with a gloomy glint within her eyes. The Voidship had never left the Zephyr Plains. She feared that Wei Wuyin might return, acting against Lin Ming and breaking their set condition.

She had bought Lin Ming a year to regain himself and once more fight for his right. Furthermore, she planned to give him the Badge of Divinity that was in her possession. Yet, she just heard disturbing news from one of her envoys.

The envoy was a petite-looking young woman, rather short in height, with pigtails and black hair. Despite her young, child-like appearance, her cultivation base was extremely profound, causing the surrounding space and rays of light to tremble slightly with every breath. She was a cultivator at the Gravity Emission Phase! From how unstable and uncontrollable her aura currently was, she was clearly a newly ascended Gravity Emission Phase Cultivator.

"Young Miss! I-I..." The young girl stumbled over her words, clearly afraid of Tang Xingyun’s anger. The young girl’s form address was noted by Tang Xingyun, who frowned, but she wasn’t about to mention it.

The young girl wasn’t a native of this World Realm, but her personal attendant turned Envoy in disguise. She had entered due to her unique status, having to pay a rather expensive fee to accomplish it. Her efforts weren’t wasted as she made a breakthrough.

Tang Xingyun sighed, calmed herself down and gently said: "Speak clearly."V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).co/m for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

Sensing the change of mood, the young girl perked up and slowly explained: "A message was sent over by Grand Priest Zi Gu, and it stated that the former Holy Son is currently sealed."

Tang Xingyun clenched her armrest, "What do you mean sealed?" She needed clarification. This concerned Lin Ming’s second chance!

The young girl recalled the details of the message and clarified, "The former Holy Son’s Dantian, Acupuncture Points, and Meridians are sealed by an extremely powerful Spiritual Spell Restriction. The Grand Priest is unable to undo it, and all of Lin Ming’s own efforts are rendering little to no progress. It was calculated that it’ll probably take Lin Ming roughly seventy-three years to dispel the spell formations with his help."

Tang Xingyun felt her heart clench with every additional word spoken. Who could cast such a powerful Spiritual Spell? "Who?"

"...Who?" The young girl was confused.

The voice continued after seeing the determined light reflected in Bai Yuxi’s eyes, "But I can undo the spell. However, you’ll have to ask yourself if this young man is worth it. After all, I’ve already taken action once, why should I do it again?"

Bai Yuxi was startled by her words. Clearly, whatever Venerable Spiritwalker intended to ask in return was not going to be a low price. Her emotional connection to Lin Ming was brief but not shallow. This could clearly be seen as Lin Ming was fully willing to surrender the title of Chosen for her, despite it being just an illusion.

"I’ll do anything," she answered.

In the True Desolate Temple, Wei Wuyin stood at the entrance with a gaze fixed on the horizon. As his silver eyes gleamed with calculative light, a soft voice resounded behind him.

"What are you thinking about?" A soft hand touched his shoulders, caressing it until it became a gentle massage. The light-bronze skin of that hand was quite delicate.

Wei Wuyin knew it was Ai Yin, but his eyes remained fixed on the horizon. "I have to make a trip to the Scorched Skies. I’m wondering if I can make it in one go." The Scorched Skies contained the last piece of the puzzle in forming his Elemental Heart Intent: high-level Fire Intent.

"Make it?" Ai Yin was confused by Wei Wuyin’s words. It took her a moment to come to the conclusion that Wei Wuyin was somewhat concerned if it was safe to travel there, being the last territory not under his control. "You shouldn’t have any issue traveling there with our power. Me and Si De will protect you. The entire Grey Sands Elves are by your side."

Wei Wuyin faintly smiled, touching the back of her hand that rested on his shoulder. "Thank you, but that’s not what I meant." With a lift of her hand, he smoothly turned around and gave it a quick kiss.

"I’ll be right back," Wei Wuyin said, using her astral force to float within the air. He turned into the direction of the Scorched Skies and kicked off in mid-air. His body vanished leaving endless spatial ripples in his wake!

Ai Yin’s mouth went wide.

-----

Over one hundred thousand miles away from the Desolate Lands, faint ripples in fixed space occurred for a brief moment. These ripples continued to expand from the size of a small coin to a man-sized oval!

Woosh!

A figure shot out from this oval. Instantly, he was welcomed by falling grey ash that seared the flesh and a bleak sky that hid the Solar Star.

"I did it!"
