Chapter 1961 – Chu Xun’s Story

Lu Yun breathed out more easily after Miao left. That person had come back to life from the state of death and become Miao. Since he was now alive, it was almost impossible for Lu Yun to use the power of reincarnation to restrain him.

That person was likely a terrifying peak grand supreme in his prime. If he insisted on attacking Lu Yun, the young man would have no better option than to summon the ten Yama Kings back to him again. And even then, he would only just barely hold off the newly reborn Miao.

Thankfully, that personage was grateful to Lu Yun for being the instrument of his release and didn’t do anything to the young man. He’d killed people and numerous geniuses in front of the burial mound before because he was a ghost. When alive again, the resentment wreathed around him dissipated, leaving only hatred behind.

Hatred was different from resentment. Hatred was targeted and wouldn’t involve others, but resentment was vicious general malaise. Anyone caught in its path would be hounded to the ends of eternity.

……

“Is big brother Miao alive again?” Chu Xun tilted her head back at Lu Yun.

“Yes,” he nodded. “He asked me to take care of you for now and will come back for you in a few days.”

“How many days?” Chu Xun asked.

Lu Yun blinked. He… didn’t know. It might not be until they left the tomb of the empyrean supreme. Damn it, I think I just put a wrong foot down somewhere. He had his own business to take care of—capturing the god of Mount Tai and using his hell dao to create another Land of Reincarnation.

“Damn it, I played right into his hands,” Lu Yun mumbled. He didn’t want an additional burden at all, so he must’ve been caught in one of Miao’s arts earlier. He wouldn’t have agreed to take care of the little girl otherwise. How did he not think to ask how many days this babysitting would be?!

Lu Yun smacked his forehead, immensely regretful of his actions.

“That’s okay, I’ll see big brother Miao again if I stay by your side, right?” Chu Xun seemed to understand something as she studied Lu Yun’s expression. She tugged piteously at the hem of his shirt.

Lu Yun laughed ruefully. He wasn’t a heartless bastard, so what was he supposed to say to the distressed little girl?

“Right,” he nodded with resignation.

“Then I’ll stay with you. Don’t worry, I’m very strong! I’m a useless lump!” Chu Xun waved her chubby little fists around.

Lu Yun blinked again. That’s true! She won’t be a burden. She didn’t use any combat arts when defeating Luo Qin and I didn’t even see how she did it!

Not only was she not a burden, she’d probably end up being someone he’d have to respect.

……

Lu Yun and Chu Xun followed the path beneath their feet and strode further into the burial mound. The structure had formed its own world inside the structure and they no longer trod on pale scuffles in a cave. They walked down a real path and could see a hazy sky when they lifted their heads. Surrounded by cliff faces, there was nothing Lu Yun and Chu Xun could do about the smooth walls. They couldn’t even jump a little higher than normal, to say nothing of flying.

It felt like Lu Yun had turned from a cultivator into a mortal soul after arriving in this place. Yet, his instincts and methods as a cultivator remained intact and at the level they should be at. It was a very puzzling situation.

Although he’d picked up an unwanted companion, Lu Yun put the annoyance out of his mind. He focused on deriving where the god of Mount Tai was, yet interference still obstructed formula dao. All he could see was an indistinct image and a general direction. Anything more exact was impossible.

Thus, he set out to find the mountain god.

The peak grand supreme of the darkness likely knew he was in the tomb of the empyrean supreme after he exposed himself. Not only was she keeping an eye on Lu Yun, but so was the Disordered Empyrean Supreme. She wanted his hell.

Since he didn’t know if grand supremes and peak grand supremes were restricted in this world, Lu Yun shouldn’t overly expose himself before he found his quarry.

……

“There’s someone ahead of us!” Chu Xun suddenly said anxiously. “Many someones!”

“Huh?” Lu Yun released his consciousness and sent it ahead, but didn’t discover any signs of life. He then tried with the Spectral Eye, reading a significant number of living people in the five thousand kilometers around them.

It looked like this burial mound could suppress the mind, but not death arts. Unfortunately, the Spectral Eye possessed its limitations as it was meant to discern life and death and pierce through the fabricated. It wasn’t meant to be a pathfinder.

Otherwise, he’d use the Spectral Eye in conjunction with the Boundless Step—they wouldn’t need to proceed on foot like this. The Spectral Eye could read information of life and death, but it couldn’t identify danger.

All the same, Lu Yun was rather surprised. He could see that there were people ahead of them thanks to the Spectral Eye, so how was the little girl also doing the same?

He looked closely at Chu Xun and asked, “Little girl, do you know Chu Xingran?”

She drooled at hearing the name and quickly wiped it away. “Super super handsome big brother Chu Xingran! My mom says that I should build a big harem in the future. I will have big brother Miao as my main wife and super handsome Chu Xingran as a concubine!

“Mmhmm, mmhmm! But apparently he’s hiding in the Land of Reincarnation to run away from his betrothal to the Dafengs.”

Lu Yun couldn’t help but smack his forehead. While Chu Xingran and Chu Xun were both surnamed Chu, they didn’t seem to be a family. And what kind of person was the little girl’s mother?? Why was she teaching this nonsense to an eight year old? A big harem?!

Lu Yun didn’t know what to say.

“How old are you?” he asked instead.

“Eight!” Chu Xun quickly replied.

“Under the operation of the major cycle order, three hundred and sixty-five rises and falls of the sun marks one year in the chief worlds. Are you really only eight?” Lu Yun found this incredible.

The aura of Chu Xun’s spirit and bones both indicated that she was quite young. But was she really as she appeared, only eight years old?

An eight year old supreme?

One that could walk over a peak high supreme like Luo Qin?

“Is your mom a peak grand supreme?” Lu Yun asked blankly.

“My dad is one too!” Chu Xun offered.

Lu Yun smacked his forehead even harder, finally understanding. The other two peak grand supremes he’d yet to meet must be dao partners and Miao was one of their disciples. As the child of two peak grand supremes, it was no wonder that Chu Xun was so remarkable.

All things in life were equal. The higher one’s cultivation and strength, the harder it was to sire offspring. It was almost impossible for peak grand supremes to have children.

And yet, these two peak grand supremes had an eight year old daughter. Chu Xun was most certainly doted upon by everyone, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was the little princess of the entire chief worlds.
