Chapter 32

Yexun had long prepared a fine guest room for Chuyan. Inside the guest room, Yexun smiled and said, "Although it can't compare to the new house the Liu family gave you, take a look, are you satisfied?"

"Having a bed is enough; I've been sleeping on the floor for several days." Chuyan sat down on the soft bed and smiled.

"Is this all you're willing to accept?"

Hearing Yexun's sudden question, Chuyan was taken aback for a moment, then he realized it was about his marriage to Liu Qingcheng. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "What's there to be unwilling about? I'm back to being single. How about it, are you worried I won't find a woman? You forgot, your old man just now wanted to marry his sister to me. If I want to find a woman, I could even hold a tournament and it wouldn't be a problem."

"You're just putting up a front." Yexun rolled his eyes at Chuyan and didn't say anything more.

"But what about you, aren't you regretful for not killing me?" Chuyan suddenly raised his head, looking at Yexun with interest.

Chuyan wasn't stupid. Ye Wuya knew that the incident on the back mountain was the perfect opportunity to kill Chuyan, and Chuyan could naturally think of this. But the Ye family didn't do it, and he didn't believe it was because Ye Wuya had a change of heart. There was only one possibility: Yexun.

Yexun smiled, "Regretful? If I had another chance, I would kill you."

Chuyan rolled his eyes at Yexun, knowing he was joking, "But seriously, if you had killed me back then, the Ye family could have swallowed Tianyong City and surpassed the Bai family, becoming the top family in Changlong Kingdom. You would have had a position comparable to the current princes. Didn't you ever feel tempted?"

"Of course I was tempted, but I'm not a good person, nor am I someone who would resort to any means. You didn't kill me back then, and if I had killed you, I would have felt very uneasy." Yexun paused, looking at Chuyan with a hint of depth, "Moreover, I want to see what you will become in five years, ten years. I think that, compared to killing you and taking a position comparable to a prince, making you, Chuyan, owe me a favor, and then waiting for you to inherit the wilderness or become the king of the world, and having you thank me, is more worthwhile."

"Um, your answer is very honest, and I like it. How about it, are you interested in joining me next?"

"Do you think you can still get rid of me? I saved your life and took you in; these are all things you owe me. You'll have to pay me back sooner or later."

Yexun and Chuyan looked at each other and smiled, and the two young men thus made an agreement. But the world didn't know that this agreement today would lead to, ten or more years later, when Chuyan was fighting on all fronts, Xuntian Emperor would follow him, and when Chuyan was in dire straits, Xuntian Emperor would hold a three-foot silver spear, tread through a river of blood, and carry Chuyan out of the battlefield.

It was also today that a legend was forged, one that would be passed down in the entire world and even among the countless stars.

"What about the surprise you promised me?" Chuyan smiled slyly; he never let go of an opportunity to gain an advantage.

Yexun also shook his head helplessly, called a servant, and gave an order. Not long after, a excited wolf howl was heard from outside the guest room.

"Little Wolf?"

"Ao!" The wolf howl continued, and Chuyan's eyes lit up. The lone wolf that the Ye family's servant brought into the guest room.

Seeing Chuyan, Little Wolf's eyes lit up, and he immediately pounced on Chuyan, knocking him onto the bed and licking him from head to toe.

Chuyan was also pleasantly surprised. He never thought Little Wolf was still alive, especially since he had seen Qin Xuan stab Little Wolf in the throat with a spear.

"What happened?" Chuyan asked, petting Little Wolf's head after a moment of affection.

Yexun smiled, "This wolf pup has a strong constitution. It turns out he has a demon core inside. Qin Xuan's spear just grazed the demon core, causing the spearhead to deflect and not injure the artery. After bringing him back to the Ye family, I found the best doctor for him, and he has now fully recovered."

After saying that, Yexun glared at Little Wolf, "Alright, your master is here, so you'll follow him from now on. Don't stay at the Ye family. These few days, just feeding you, we've killed a lot of poultry! You're like a pig."

"Ao!" Hearing Yexun's words, Little Wolf grumbled unhappily.

Chuyan couldn't help but laugh bitterly and hit Little Wolf's head, "Little pup, what are you grumbling about? You don't have the face to be like me. Now that we're under someone else's roof, I don't even have a place to go, and I'm waiting for someone to take me in. You're still making noise!"

Yexun sighed, but it was strange that Little Wolf, like Chuyan, had recovered from a fatal wound in just one day.

"This wolf pup has a rare bloodline, possibly a branch of some ancient divine beast."

"Um."

Chuyan nodded, and he was also full of expectations for Little Wolf. Breaking through to the seventh level in one night was not something that would happen with ordinary beasts.

Moreover, Chuyan had a strange sense of familiarity with Little Wolf, and the scene of Little Wolf being killed by Qin Xuan to protect him was something Chuyan couldn't forget. So Chuyan would remember his words, and if he ever became the king of the world, Little Wolf would be the king of beasts, and Chuyan would take him on this glorious journey.

In the guest room, Chuyan and Yexun chatted a bit more, and then Yexun left.

In the Ye family's guest room, Little Wolf lay by the bed, and Chuyan looked at the night sky alone. Every night, the stars were so bright and twinkling, and Chuyan couldn't help but feel a bit bitter.

With Liu Qingcheng... it's really over.

Is he willing... is he ready to let go?

Thinking about what Yexun had asked him, Chuyan knew that even if he was unwilling, what could he do?

Perhaps this ending is the best. After all, what he has to do next is to fight against the most powerful forces in the world, to challenge the heavens and destiny, to break through the world and save his mother from a distant star. This journey will inevitably be difficult.

"Mother... I promised you that I wouldn't think about revenge or cultivate before I turned eighteen. But now I'm eighteen, and as you wished, I've been married to Qingcheng once. Although it's a bit different from what you told me, I've done what I should do. From now on, I can focus on saving you."

Chuyan smiled bitterly and then suddenly sat up, once again channeling his yuan qi and storing his spirit in the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower.

Inside the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower, this was Chuyan's second time entering it, but looking at the walls flowing like rivers and the countless ancient artifacts ranked in the top ten thousand, he couldn't help but feel shocked and amazed.

"The first floor of the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower records almost all the artifacts ranked from ten thousand to five thousand in the Ancient Great List, with clear information about their whereabouts and uses. But for the top five thousand, there is no information. To know about the top five thousand, I probably need to go to the second floor."

Chuyan thought to himself. Inside the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower, some artifacts were dark, indicating they had already fallen into the hands of a great power. There were records that in the wilderness, there were several artifacts from the Ancient Great List.

Some of these figures were familiar to him, such as the wilderness generals.

"The Ancient Great List is a list of divine artifacts that was formed when the countless stars were created. Any artifact on this list has the power to reverse the world. If I can find one, my strength will surely increase dramatically." Chuyan thought to himself and began to study these artifacts.

However, although the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower recorded the whereabouts of these artifacts, they were all in extremely dangerous places, such as ten-thousand-year-old snow mountains or deep ice lakes. Even those that were buried with powerful figures were in immortal tombs, which Chuyan, with his current strength, could not enter.

"Getting these artifacts is indeed not easy." Chuyan sighed, but at that moment, his black eyes suddenly brightened, and his gaze fell on a mysterious place.

In the first floor of the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower, there was a special artifact, like an ancient seal, but only a fragment, not complete. Even as a fragment, it made all the other artifacts on the first floor bow to it, with the fragment at the center.

"Xuantian Fragment, Chapter One?"

Chuyan calmed down, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He had a sudden idea and quickly flashed out, appearing outside the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower, standing on his dantian. He looked at the top of the nine-story black tower and saw an ancient seal, one corner of which was exactly the shape of the Xuantian Fragment.

"Is this Xuantian Fragment the key to unlocking the mystery of the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower?" Chuyan had a bold idea.

It was already known in the world that the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower could control the heavens and reverse the world. Over the past ten thousand years, countless great wars in the world were caused by the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower, but it ended up in Qin Ruomeng's hands by chance, and she placed it inside Chuyan's body.

"Did Mother hope I could unlock the mystery of the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower?" Chuyan's eyes sparkled, and although there was no way to verify this, he felt that he was one step closer to saving his mother.

The spirit entered the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower again, and Chuyan secretly memorized the image of the Xuantian Fragment, imprinting it in his mind. He then searched but found no other chapters.

"The Xuantian Fragment is divided into nine chapters. Now I can only see Chapter One, so the other eight chapters are probably in the other eight floors of the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower." Chuyan made up his mind to break through Dongcheng as soon as possible and open the second floor of the Xuantian.

Chuyan began to cultivate, and by the end of the night, his yuan qi had reached its peak. When he opened his eyes again, the Heavenly Star Sword Technique was complete, and with a swing of his sword, stars flowed, and the momentum was comparable to a great disturbance.
