Chapter 2388: The Return of the Yan Emperor

Zhu Yanyi sighed, saying, "If that’s the case, I have to admire Leng Manxia of the Leng family. Using half a top-grade immortal artifact as a price is quite bold. But I have a question." Zhu Yanyi looked displeased.

"Master, what is your question?" Ge Yanyan asked.

Zhu Yanyi patted her cheek. "Tell me, am I really so worthless? I’m only worth half an immortal artifact? That’s too much."

Her aggrieved expression made the four members of the Leng Manshuang family burst into laughter.

"Don’t laugh. I’m telling the truth," Zhu Yanyi said, still unhappy.

"I think the Leng family knew they couldn’t find you, so they used half an immortal artifact. Otherwise, how would they dare to bluff with such a thing?" Leng Yunchong said from the side.

Zhu Yanyi sighed. "The Beita Leng family really makes me feel unspeakably dissatisfied. Forget it. When I have time, I’ll go find Beita Leng Manxia and have a good chat with her."

Seeing Zhu Yanyi’s attitude, the Leng Manshuang family looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Leng Manshuang coughed lightly. "Master, let’s not interfere too much in the Leng family’s affairs."

"I don’t plan to interfere," Zhu Yanyi answered seriously. She indeed had no intention of interfering; she just needed to send a warning.

Moreover, Zhu Yanyi’s goal was her own cultivation path. The Leng family meant nothing to her. If Leng Manshuang and her family had truly recognized her as their master, she might have helped them resolve their karma. However, although the four of them called her master, they had not truly submitted to her. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Zhu Yanyi would not confront the Leng family.

Zhu Yanyi returned to her room and entered the Ruyi Space. As soon as she stepped inside, she saw Huoyan playing with Mengbao. Mengbao saw Zhu Yanyi and rushed over, clearly recognizing her.

Zhu Yanyi held Mengbao and smiled. "Did you miss your mother, Mengbao? I wonder if your father knows she has a little one like you. Although I left her a message, thinking about the place like the Chaos Abyss, it’s probably not safe. I don’t know when she will find the message I left."

Zhu Yanyi missed Yan Aohan. At this moment, Yan Aohan was taking a brief rest.

Everything in the Chaos Abyss changed according to one’s cultivation level. As the final test for a True God ascending to Emperor Sovereign, the trials here were never uniform.

Yan Aohan faced attacks from countless Yin souls, Yin messengers, Yin immortals, and Yin gods. He improved himself through these constant daily assaults. Yan Aohan did not know how many Yin souls and Yin gods were there. He not only had to kill them but also judge whether the Yin souls were good or bad. The good ones were to be sent to reincarnation, while the bad ones were to be destroyed. Thus, Yan Aohan was extremely busy.

Of course, he did not work twenty-four hours a day. He had four hours of rest every day.

Seeing the batch of Yin gods in front of him disappear, Yan Aohan knew the trial time for the day had passed, and he could rest.

Yan Aohan returned to his resting place, regulated his breathing, then took out a jar of flower wine, opened it, and drank.

She looked at the sky. The sky of the Abyss was turbid. No one could see clearly what was in this place; there was only a gray haze.

Yan Aohan’s heart moved. He reached out, and a message appeared. This was the information Zhu Yanyi had left for him.

After entering the Chaos Abyss, he could take things from the space, but he could not enter the space itself. However, seeing this message was enough.

Reading the content of the message, Yan Aohan frowned slightly. He had gained a son, a natural spiritual body. Originally, the child should have belonged to the Immortal Realm, but the Immortal Emperor had given him to her.

Although it was a short paragraph, the information left was considerable.

Seeing this, Yan Aohan pondered for a moment. Having an extra son was not a problem, but he worried about Zhu Yanyi’s situation. After all, Zhu Yanyi was only an Earth Immortal, and this son with a natural spiritual body was troublesome.

After thinking for a while, she took out paper and pen, left a message for Zhu Yanyi, put it away, and looked at the sky, missing Zhu Yanyi.

In fact, this was the only time each day she could miss Zhu Yanyi, and the time was short because she still needed to regulate her breathing and restore her energy.

In this place, no one spoke to him, and no one could comfort him. It could be said that it was very oppressive here.

This oppression was the driving force that forced the True Gods who came here to train to begin transforming into the body of an Emperor Sovereign.

Not all True Gods could bear this oppression. Those who could not would be erased and enter reincarnation. Those who could endure it would eventually become Emperor Sovereigns.

Therefore, it was impossible to cultivate the Emperor Sovereign path through the Path of Ruthlessness. Here, ruthlessness was useless. The more ruthless you were, the heavier the pressure became, and eventually, you would collapse yourself.

Yan Aohan was fortunate that the path he cultivated was the Path of Reincarnation, where good and evil reincarnated, each with its own karma. Yan Aohan understood this and kept moving forward. As long as he persisted, he would soon complete this transformation.

After Yan Aohan finished regulating his breathing, the sky seemed to brighten again. Those Yin souls and Yin gods appeared, and he had to start the same tasks for the day.

Perhaps because she missed Zhu Yanyi, her feeling towards these Yin souls and Yin gods was different today. They seemed more ethereal than usual, and their shadows appeared fainter.

Yin souls becoming faint was a situation Yan Aohan had never encountered before. Why did it happen today?

Yin souls were a type of creature in heaven and earth. As long as there was spirit, there would be a soul. If there was no soul, the spiritual seeds of heaven and earth would have no life.

Wait. If the spiritual seeds of heaven and earth had no life, it meant that his reincarnation itself existed for the spiritual seeds of heaven and earth. Heaven had the Dao, so it had spirit.

Heaven had spirit, so it had souls. With souls, there was life. When life ended, the soul returned to reincarnation. Thus, the beginning was the end, and the end was the beginning.

Yan Aohan’s eyes lit up, and his heart relaxed. So that was it. Coming here was not to make him kill these Yin souls, but to make him understand the true meaning of their existence, and also to make him understand the true meaning of reincarnation.

Reincarnation returns to the Dao, three thousand merge into one, the Yan Emperor emerges.

Twelve characters appeared in mid-air. Black and white light shone upon the Three Realms. Yan Aohan, wearing the attire of the Yan Emperor, transformed into a giant standing in mid-air. The image stayed for five minutes before disappearing.

At the same time, Emperor Sovereigns in all realms saw the information: The Yan Emperor has returned to his position.

Ouyang Mingyue saw this news and smiled. "He was quite fast. I originally thought it would take at least some more time. I didn’t expect him to realize it so quickly. As expected of the Yan Emperor."
