Chapter 1423: Chapter 249: Three-Quarters of the Relic
"Sheng’er, did you also have such a dream?" Hu Jiusheng and Hu Ruolan exchanged perplexed glances.
It turned out that since they met, they had similar dreams every few nights.
They didn’t pay much attention to it because they were both hatched from the same Beast Blood Cloud, so it was normal for their thoughts or dreams to occasionally be the same.
But if even their daughter Yun Sheng had the same dream, that was something unusual.
"Mother, this dream isn’t an ordinary dream; I only had it after I learned the Heavenly Fox Inheritance Premonition." Yun Sheng, seeing that the two had the same dream, was even more convinced of her earlier suspicions. She linked the fact that the Sky Fox Relic in her body was incomplete to the scene in her dream where the relic in the Heavenly Fox Statue was divided into four.
"Sheng’er, are you saying that the Sky Fox Relic is within both of us? But for years, we haven’t felt a thing." Hu Jiusheng and Hu Ruolan were still a bit skeptical.
"We can find out by trying." Yun Sheng was already prepared; she led her mother and Lady Ruolan into the room. "Mother, I’ll now use the Heavenly Fox Inheritance Premonition. If you really have the Sky Fox Relic within you, you should feel something."
Yun Sheng’s Heavenly Fox Power flowed gently through the room.
Soon, the entire room was enveloped in a dreamscape.
Within the dream, the scene Yun Sheng had seen earlier appeared again.
At this time, the Sky Fox Relic inside Yun Sheng emitted a soft glow.
With the appearance of the Sky Fox Relic, Hu Jiusheng and Lady Ruolan’s bodies also emitted a gentle glow.
A glow emerged from each of them, and the two glows, like children seeking their mother, quickly converged with the Sky Fox Relic within Yun Sheng.
The three Sky Fox Relics merged completely.
When the three Sky Fox Relics fully merged, Yun Sheng felt the Magic Power within her body swell like a stream after the rain, turning into a vast river.
"So we truly had a part of the Sky Fox Relic within us." Hu Jiusheng, upon awakening, felt a sense of wonder along with Lady Ruolan.
For so many years, neither had realized that part of the Sky Fox Relic power from the first Sky Fox Clan Leader Hu Yan was within them.
"Everything foretold in the dream must be true. While we’ve reclaimed the Sky Fox Relics within us, where is the fourth part of the relic power? With only three-fourths of the relic power, it’s still not enough to contend with the reborn Ye Xiu." Lady Ruolan had already learned from Yun Sheng about what had recently transpired on the Bahuang Continent.
After learning about the death of the Sky Fox Clan Leader Hu Qianqiu, Lady Hu Ruolan’s gaze dimmed, but within her heart, she felt a sense of relief.
Before arriving on the Wuji Continent, Lady Hu Ruolan believed that her many years of companionship with Hu Qianqiu was the right path for a couple.
But only after witnessing her sister Hu Jiusheng and Yun Canghai’s way of being as a couple did she realize that Hu Qianqiu never loved her from the start.
She had now completely given up on Hu Qianqiu.
However, Ye Xiu, disregarding the ties with the Eight Desolate Beast Clan and threatening Yun Sheng and others with the lives of each beast clan member, placed Lady Ruolan in great worry.
"Could it be there’s another Sky Fox Saint Baby on the Wuji Continent?" Hu Jiusheng questioned.
"Highly unlikely. The Beast Blood Cloud that nurtured us was divided into two, and that’s something we both vaguely remember." Lady Ruolan shook her head.
"Mother, Aunt, these matters no longer need to worry you. Ye Huli and I have already decided to enter Emperor Hong’s Ancient Tomb to explore the Path of Gods soon." Once Yun Sheng acquired the Sky Fox Relics, she felt her power had grown significantly, but there was still a distance to go to defeat Ye Xiu.
Shortly after Yun Sheng bid farewell to Hu Jiusheng and Hu Ruolan, a piece of bad news arrived.
"What! You say the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch was killed!" The first victim of Ye Xiu’s malice was unexpectedly the highly revered Jiuluan Clan Patriarch among the Eight Desolate Beast Clan.
"Ye Xiu plans to massacre the major beast tribes. Upon hearing about this while held at the Beast God Altar, the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch angrily cursed Ye Xiu, who in turn killed the Patriarch. Now the entire Jiuluan Clan is in turmoil, and the Young Clan Chief Lu has gone missing." Hearing this news from Lu Yunshuang made Yun Sheng’s heart sink.
Ye Xiu had indeed acted.
She and the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch shared some acquaintance, and the elder had cared for her on many occasions.
"If things continue like this, the other beast clans will also suffer." Lu Yunshuang and others were barely holding on.
"It seems there’s only one path left." Yun Sheng glanced at Ye Beiming, and Ye Beiming looked back at her.
Both understood they had to visit Emperor Hong’s Ancient Tomb to try to unlock the Path of Gods.
Upon learning that Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming were to enter Emperor Hong’s Ancient Tomb together, Yuan Bupo took out the White Tiger Imperial Jade.
"Yun Sheng, this piece of Emperor Jade should have been given to you a long time ago, but because of my father’s reservations about the Emperor Hong clan’s mission, he hesitated to let the Emperor Jade fall into outsiders’ hands." After experiencing the upheaval in Dihong City, Yuan Bupo had matured greatly.
His eyes were filled only with resignation and tranquility.
He once thought he might be the one to accompany Yun Sheng into the Emperor’s Tomb. He had dreamt countless times of himself and Yun Sheng; one playing the flute, the other plucking the lute, becoming the first celestial couple to obtain the Emperor Hong Chapter Nine in the history of Dihong City.
Now, all those dreams had turned to nothing, as someone else was destined to accompany Yun Sheng into the tomb.
Yuan Bupo’s heart bore regrets but he knew Ye Beiming was the most suitable man to accompany Yun Sheng into Dihong City.
"Thank you, Yuan Bupo. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to return after I go. I’ve developed the first batch of vaccines, and I’ve already had Ji Ru Mo contact Chief Fate and others to send these vaccines to the Netherworld as soon as possible." Yun Sheng accepted the White Tiger Imperial Jade.
"Master, are you sure you don’t want Bo Bo to go with you?" Bo Bo, a Realm God, knew well how arduous the Path of Gods was. Should the master succeed, she would gain the qualification of Becoming a God, but if she failed, she and the Kirin might never return.
"Bo Bo, don’t be willful. Remember, you are the Human World’s standby Realm God. The Human World is in chaos right now, and you must shoulder the responsibility of a Realm God. Should anything happen to me, I believe Mingri can still aid you." After exhorting Bo Bo, Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming exchanged glances.
Ye Beiming grasped her hand, and together they resolutely walked toward Emperor Hong’s Ancient Tomb.
