Free Web NovelChapter 2009: Chapter 2009: Parting Sorrow! Passing On the Human Emperor Technique! Where Are You Going?
"You’re leaving?"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, Chu Huannian and the others fell silent.
They understood that Mu Jinyu’s departure this time was certainly not like his previous brief absences from Dongyue Mansion, when he would quickly return after attending to some business.
But this time, he might not return for several years, or even ever...
Perhaps it would be a final farewell!
That’s why he was saying goodbye to them so solemnly.
This made it difficult for them to accept, and they fell silent unconsciously.
They wished time could freeze at this moment, allowing them to stay with Mu Jinyu longer.
"Brother Jinyu, why so sudden? Can’t you take us with you?"
Ji Xiaoyun hung her head low, then raised it again, her big eyes filled with tears, her gaze full of reluctance and attachment as she stammered.
She was the most reluctant to part with Mu Jinyu. After all, her family and the villagers of Xiaolin Village were all gone, and in her heart, Mu Jinyu had become her most important family.
"There’s something very important I have to do." Mu Jinyu couldn’t explain much to them. He looked away, avoiding eye contact, and sighed, "The journey is too dangerous; I’m afraid I can’t protect you, so I have to go alone. If I have the chance, I’ll come back for you; rest assured."
Ji Xiaoyun and the others considered him family, and didn’t want to separate, and Mu Jinyu felt the same way.
When he first arrived in the Canglan Realm, his mentor Mu Shao’ai and Divine Silkworm Princess Yin Li weren’t by his side, and he was separated from them. It was Ji Xiaoyun and Elder Ji who found his severely injured self and took care of him until he gradually recovered and survived.
It could be said that they saved his life.
Mu Jinyu felt a deep gratitude towards them.
Later, an unexpected incident occurred, and the villagers of Xiaolin Village were mostly destroyed by Li Hu.
Leaving Ji Xiaoyun an orphan.
He felt it was his duty, and naturally had to adopt Ji Xiaoyun and take care of her.
So he took her all the way from the remote corner of the Eastern Region to Donghua Province’s Dongyue Mansion.
Living long-term with Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huannian sisters, he came to regard them as his family, his sisters.
If he could, he certainly wanted to take them with him.
But, he couldn’t!
It was too dangerous!
This time, he’s going to the Divine Race’s territory to seize the Divine Essence that can restore his potential, an extremely perilous journey.
He couldn’t even guarantee his own safety, let alone bring these three women who hadn’t reached the Unity Realm Stage.
Now, Dongyue Mansion is relatively safe, and he doesn’t have to worry about it being attacked after he leaves, leading to the sacrifice of the three girls. So he can leave with peace of mind.
If he let momentary weakness lead him to take Chu Huannian and the others with him, that would be the most irresponsible thing to do!
"I understand..."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s explanation, Ji Xiaoyun looked up to meet his eyes, gradually losing their luster, dim like two lifeless barren stars. She lowered her head again and murmured softly.
She thought to herself: ’Actually, I’m not afraid of danger; as long as I can be with Brother Jinyu, that’s all that matters. But I’m afraid you’ll find me a burden, and even more afraid to drag you down, so it has to be this way...’
Chu Huaxiu remained silent, and upon hearing Mu Jinyu reject Ji Xiaoyun’s request to go together, her body trembled slightly, then she bit her lip, not wanting to cry.
Chu Huannian wasn’t as sad as the others, perhaps due to her Cultivation’s decline, and the removal of her War Clan Blood Lineage, thus freeing her from the Foreign Race Bloodline’s influence. She appeared somewhat tender, her eyes slightly red, lightly laughing:
"Why are you guys like this? It’s as if you’re saying goodbye forever. Jinyu is just going on a long trip; he’ll definitely come back. There’s no need for this. Be good, and listen to him teaching us the Human Emperor Technique!"
"Mm!"
Ji Xiaoyun and Chu Huaxiu heard Chu Huannian’s words and responded softly. Then they raised their heads, wiped the tears from their eyes, and smiled brightly, saying, "We understand, Brother Jinyu, teach us the Human Emperor Technique!"
They had already wanted to cultivate more diligently, hoping to help Mu Jinyu, especially during Dongyue Mansion’s crisis facing attacks from two royal clans.
However, after Dongyue Mansion’s crisis ended, they felt relaxed, losing that sense of urgency, and unknowingly became a bit complacent.
Now, with Mu Jinyu leaving, they felt the urgency of Cultivation’s gap again, wanting to work hard so that they could keep up with Mu Jinyu in the future.
Not to be left behind when Mu Jinyu needed to venture into dangerous places, unable to do anything!
So, they were filled with unprecedented enthusiasm for cultivating the Human Emperor Technique!
"Alright, let’s start then!"
Mu Jinyu, seeing how sad and upset they were, felt equally distressed. He was still thinking about how to comfort them.
Unexpectedly, they adjusted their mindset quickly, which he underestimated. So, Mu Jinyu wasted no more words and was ready to teach them the Human Emperor Technique.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!!"
Mu Jinyu raised his hand and pointed, transmitting the portion of the Human Emperor Technique he mastered to Chu Huannian and the others.
Allowing them to absorb the information in their Sea of Consciousness silently.
This process took more than a shichen.
Only then did they awaken one after another.
"Alright, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I’ll explain them to you now."
Mu Jinyu spoke softly upon seeing them wake up.
Indeed, they had many questions, finding it quite esoteric, so they began to ask.
Mu Jinyu answered each question, explaining the truth to them.
This explanation lasted another two shichen.
Finally, their questions from Body Tempering Realm to Life and Death Realm were thoroughly explained, enabling them to cultivate peacefully to the Life and Death Realm.
For the subsequent Creation Realm and Chrono Light Realm stages, Mu Jinyu did not provide explanations.
His own Cultivation hadn’t reached those stages yet!
How could he explain it to them?
"Alright, let’s stop here for now. When you reach the Life and Death Realm, if I haven’t returned, you can seek Elder Ji Wudao to clarify any remaining questions!"
Mu Jinyu spoke softly.
"Okay! We understand!"
When Chu Huannian and the others heard this, they looked at Mu Jinyu intently, with a faint sadness that couldn’t be restrained.
After all, they knew very well that reaching the Life and Death Realm would take at least three to five years, even with rapid progress.
Three to five years without Mu Jinyu returning would be too long to wait!
In the end, Chu Huannian couldn’t help but ask Mu Jinyu, "Where exactly are you going?"
She thought, if she cultivated quickly enough, raising her Cultivation to the Life and Death Realm within a year or two, she wouldn’t be a burden to Mu Jinyu and could help him.
If Mu Jinyu hadn’t returned by then, she could also seek him out!
