“It’s too late even if father wishes to save us. Since it’s impossible for him to save us, we have to think of another solution, which is for us to move to the Lyu’s ancestral hall the moment we are being sent out.”

“I was really puzzled at that time. Despite father’s advanced cultivation level, he was not skilled in the Strength of Law of Space. Whoever teleported us over such a great distance must be highly skilled in the Law of Space!”

“Father told me that it was the old lady we saw just now who saved us. The little pearl used to store Little Yue’s soul was also given by her. It was said the pearl is none other than the Emporer Devil Pearl, which is a very precious treasure the Devil Clan use to cultivate Devil Souls.”

“I have asked father about information regarding this old lady because I am filled with gratitude towards her. However, he did not disclose further information apart from the fact that she doesn’t belong to this realm.”

“This powerful lady also left behind, Mysterious Devil Seal, a treasure which binds devils, as well as a set of secret manuals for binding Devil Souls which has no side effects on the body if one practices it. Father and I had decided to seal your Devil Soul so you could become a mortal and live the rest of your life as a mortal. Not only would this allow you to escape Blood Divine Sector’s pursuit for your life, but it is also Little Yue’s last wishes.”

“At that time, after Father cast a tender loving look on you, he had gently put the Mysterious Devil Seal into your brain. Thereafter, in the next 500 years, father sealed up your Devil Soul completely using the instruction from the secret manual the powerful lady left behind. At that moment, you were exactly like the baby of a mortal man.”

“After all this, I left the Lyu family and Sishui Country. With the help of father, I brought you back to the small town by the border of Wufang Territory where Little Yue used to live. The place where she used to live is now a new village called Siji Village.”

“Therefore, I brought you to your house in Siji Village and became the only teacher in the village school of Siji village. I know Little Yue would be very happy that you are growing up as a mortal child.”

“Subsequently, when you were three, I was surprised to find out that you had dreamt of the scenes when were begin teleported over space! I started to panic at that time. I was so afraid that the Devil Soul in you was about to be awakened. It would be disastrous. That night, I followed the secret manual to add another layer of seal to secure it. Fortunately, you were back to being a normal child from that day on. How relieved I was.”

“One day when you were seven years old, you came home to tell me that you have made up your mind that you wanted to be an immortal. At that moment, an inexplicable fear arose in me. I called to my mind the days when we were being pursued for our lives and the day Little Yue was forever separated from us through death. I was terrified! I was so scared that you would tread the path which seemed good but was actually path with a dead end!”

“How I bashed you up so badly for the first time! Did you have any idea how heartbroken I was? I felt so guilty that for an entire month, I was unable to bring myself to meet with Little Yue’s soul?”

“Although afterwards, you stopped talking about wanting to be an immortal ever again, I felt as if something was down my throat. It felt as if I was keeping something in. I knew I was feeling discontented. How I wish the three of us could be reunited as a family! How I wish I could bring you back to the Lyu family in Sishui openly so that the elders in the family can have a good look at you!”

“However, nothing is more important than a safe and peaceful life for you. As I watch you grow day by day, I’m determined to let you lead a quiet and peaceful life all the days of your life.”

Finally, Lyu Liren’s face was covered with tears, so was Lyu Liang’s, whose lips were trembling and he could not speak a word. After a moment, Lyu Liang carefully put the Emperor Devil Pearl inside his shirt and bowed down at his father three times.

“Father! I’m resolved! I want to leave to look for a Suzerain which is more powerful than Blood Divine Sect. By the time we become stronger and more powerful, let’s return to the Lyu Family in Sishui with openly with pride!” as Lyu Liang said these words, his eyes were sparkling with hope. “Father, please let me bring mother along. I have wasted 500 years and in the remaining days of my life, I would like to spend more time with mother. Moreover, I’m sure I will at least be able to completely consolidate mother’s soul within the next 10 years!”

“What?! Are you serious?” Lyu Liren was shocked. “According to your grandfather, there are many ways to cultivate a soul in the Third Realm. However, the complete recovery and consolidation of a soul could only be achieved through the most precious Soul Cultivation Tree! This treasure would never be disclosed to anyone outside the major suzerains! Unless…” He realized that his son must have stumbled upon a rare opportunity, but never would he expect him to come close to the Soul Cultivation Tree.

“Father, I could only tell you that you will find out 10 years from now. Therefore, please let me bring mother with me. I promise I will not go to the country of Sishui to make trouble. All I want to do now is to enhance my power and capabilities!” said Lyu Liang softly but firmly.

Suddenly, Lyu Liren felt a sense of relief and comfort. This lad who used to only know to make trouble seemed to have matured overnight! His discontentment seemed to have transformed into a ray of hope. Indeed, Lyu Liang’s words had awakened his heart that had fallen into a slumber.

After a moment, Lyu Liren nodded and went up to Lyu Liang to give him a pat on his shoulder and said, mincing his words, “Alright! Go! Since you are indeed the flesh and blood of the Lyu Family, which is one of the three wealthy families in Sishui. Moreover, there is also the blood of the great Xuanli Clan of Devil Realm! You are rightfully a warrior!” Immediately afterwards, Lyu Liren turned around to fetch a long box from his bookshelf.

“Initially, I thought these things would be of no use in this life, but looking at the situation now, it would be most apt to give it to you,” Lyu Liren said, opening the box. In the box were kept three items, namely a small package, a scroll and a wip.”

Lyu Liren took out the whip and run his fingers on its surface, revealing a nostalgic expression on his face. Thereafter, he handed the wip to Lyu Liang and said, “My son, this is an heirloom, a hidden treasure of immortal standard, belonging to the Lyu Family—God Whipping Whip. It can attack the enemy’s Divine Soul directly. According to your grandfather, if the power of a Divine Soul reaches the level of a fairy immortal, it can directly suck out the soul of his enemy from his body! I am giving it to you now and hopefully, it will be of help to you one day.”

“This scroll consists of a map of Wufang Territory as well as a short introduction to all the great powers in it. I suppose this is what you need most now. This package contains a hundred mid grade Primordial Stones. It was stuffed into my hands by your grandfather when we left Lyu Family. There is no use of them here, so bring them with you!” Lyu Liren looked lovingly at Lyu Liang, who was almost as tall as he. Suddenly, he remembered Little Yue and he said in his heart, “Do you see this, Little Yue? Our boy had grown up!”

Lyu Liang accepted the items, deeply touched in his heart! These items were what he needed most at the moment, especially the scroll which would be a great reference for him when he joined a powerful suzerain.

Suddenly, a question arose in Lyu Liang’s mind. “How many more years does Father have to live? Is he able to last until I accomplish all I set out to do?” He shuddered.

“Father, actually I’m not in a hurry to leave this time I returned. I have not seen for so many years after all, I would like to stay at home longer.” Lyu Liang scratched his head in embarrassment and finally gave an excuse after pondering.

“Silly boy! Don’t think I don’t know what is on your mind. Be at ease, I have attained the Early-stage in my cultivation of Nascent Soul after all. When your grandfather struck me years back, he had concealed some of his powers so much that my life span is preserved. I should be able to live another thousand years if there are no accidents.” Lyu Liren let out a hearty laugh and said, “Go ahead! Do not feel burdened! Just bear in mind that whenever you are tired or hurt, just come back here. We can always revert back to the peaceful and quiet life we use to live. Your mother and I will still be contented.”

In the following three days, Lyu Liang was adamant about staying on to keep his father company. In the period of time when Lyu Liang disappeared earlier on, Lyu Liren had told others that he had gone to a distant relative’s house. Whenever someone visited in these few days and met Lyu Liang, they simply assumed that he had returned from the relatives.

After three days, Lyu Liang bade farewell to his father and set out on his journey into the world outside. However, he needed to visit a place before that. It was the temple of the Great Supreme Elderly Lord just in the hills at the back of the village. He was there to meet up with an old friend.

Upon arrival, Lyu Liang stood quietly in the temple and scanned the surroundings, which had not changed at all since the day he left.

After about two hours, Lyu Liang sensed through his Divine Sense, a weak aura approaching. Simultaneously, a sound was transmitted from outside the gates. Lyu Liang turned to see a young monkey entering and the young monkey also spotted him at the same time. Stunned, the monkey stopped in its track and pulled out a long grey cloth from behind it.

“Haha, my old friend, is that you? It’s been five years since we last saw each other, why do you look smaller than before? Erm, and you’ve got a different aura about you…” Lyu Liang was puzzled, when suddenly the monkey opened wide its eyes, ignored Lyu Liang and ran out, squeaking.

Lyu Liang felt perplexed, but quickly came to a realization. He could sense using Divine Sense at this moment, that there were six weak aurae coming towards him and one of them was familiar to Lyu Liang.

In the twinkling of an eye, six monkeys, two large and four small, entered through the temple gates. The largest of them all was all excited when it saw Lyu Liang and quickly came toward him, leaped up onto Lyu Liang’s shoulder and began fluffing his hair. This was what the little monkey used to do years ago whenever it saw Lyu Liang.

“Good old friend, now you have your family and four babies! Congratulations!” Lyu Liang held the big monkey’s paws and sincerely wish it well. The other five also came around to look at Lyu Liang with excitement and curiosity.

After playing around for a while, Lyu Liang put the big monkey down and patted its shoulder, saying, “Good old brother, I have come to bid you farewell. I am going away to a far away place and it may take a long time before I can return. I really wanted to see you before I leave to chat about the time we spent together as well as to thank you for guiding me to find a good opportunity. Now I’m also giving you an opportunity which I hope you will treasure so we may meet each other again in future!”

After he finished speaking, Lyu Liang took out 12 medicinal pills and divided them equally into his two palms. Putting these pills into the paws of the big monkey, he slowly explained, “On your left paw are six pills which can extend your life. One pill gives you a hundred years of life. On your right palm are six pills. Ingesting one of them will allow you to grow Spiritual Root. Each of you ingests one and you may decide what to do afterwards.”

After saying these words, Lyu Liang shook their paws and disappeared from where he was standing. The big monkey was taken aback for a moment, and then it seemed to understand what happened. Waving, it led its family to leave the temple.

…

After about a thousand years, in the midst of a mountain range, in the Zhuque Territory, one of the four main territories of the Demon Realm, a powerful demon was born. This demon was to be the supreme power who founded the powerful Demon Clan.

What was difficult to understand was that there was a statue of a human standing in the middle of the town square and whenever any demon passed by the statue, it would bow and pay its homage to it.

There was this powerful demon who would sit in a daze below the statue whenever it returned from outside. It would fix its gaze on a long grey piece of cloth on the right thigh of the statue, flapping in the wind.

…

If fate would have us meet, we would keep each other company on our journey. Awaiting my old friend to come tread on this journey of the demons together.
