Chapter 17: The Past of Ming Hai and the New Beginnings of Former Villains
**At the Base of the Divine Peak, Ye Chen and Jiang Yun stared at each other in silence. The atmosphere was thick with tension. However, feeling uneasy, Ye Chen decided to teleport away immediately, taking his remaining companions with him. Jiang Yun watched as they disappeared before chuckling softly and then led everyone back to the Divine Peak.
Upon arriving at his own peak, Ye Chen inquired if anyone was injured and suggested taking a walk to comfort Li Yudong. But Li Xinyuan insisted on having work to do. Ye Chen argued that it wasn't necessary, but Li Xinyuan remained stubborn. Ye Chen wasn't ready to concede until he heard Gu Qingxue's voice advising him to let Li Xinyuan go. Not particularly fond of this maid, Gu Qingxue's words made Ye Chen relent, allowing Li Xinyuan to separate from them.
Li Xinyuan thought to herself, "That young child is really trying to stir up trouble, isn't he? What a pipe dream."
She also thought that Jiang Yun was quite formidable in both cultivation and decisiveness. His methods were harsh, sharp, and decisive. If given the choice, she would prefer not to have an enemy like him. She went straight to the Sacred Realm's summit, rather than returning to the maid's quarters. Upon arrival, she was told to leave as she did not have permission to enter. Li Xinyuan presented the Mist Sect's emblem, a symbol of being an official disciple of the Sacred Realm without conditions.
The Sacred Lord looked at the emblem in surprise and asked, "How did you come into possession of this emblem? The last piece of this emblem appeared 10,000 years ago. I had given it to a young girl. Are you her descendant?" Li Xinyuan was shocked but tried to hide her feelings. The Sacred Lord looked at her with an expression that could not conceal his curiosity and continued, "Are you interested in becoming my first disciple?"
Li Xinyuan was astounded that the Sacred Lord had not taken a disciple until now. She smiled at the Sacred Lord, knelt, and immediately called him "Master." The two of them then vanished into the air.
In a certain city, Ye Chen sat drinking with his three senior disciples, reflecting on recent events. He asked his master inwardly, "Where did I go wrong? I don't understand." Hong Xiqiao pondered but could not find an answer. What she considered was the special profession that no one had ever surpassed level 9: the Painter. The highest level she had heard of was level 8, which was very difficult and rarely pursued. Hong Xiqiao did not reveal this to Ye Chen but only said, "Don't worry too much. Just focus on becoming as strong as possible. The winners are those who write history. Remember that."
Ye Chen agreed and kept his doubts to himself.
Returning to Jiang Yun, who had arrived back at the Divine Peak, he did not hesitate to activate various formations and imparted Saint-level Eternal Life techniques to Ming Hai, preparing a King-level Enlightenment Pill for him. Ming Hai, surprised by the preparations, did not delay and began his cultivation immediately. He meditated seriously while Jiang Yun created a time formation to allow him to train quickly and restore his damaged body.
Ming Hai's training phenomenon was restricted by the system, which smiled and said, "[How about it? Do you see the excellence of my system now?]"
Jiang Yun told the system to be quiet and watched as Ming Hai transformed back into his true form, his hair turning long and blue, and his appearance becoming handsome.
As Ming Hai recovered, he knelt before Jiang Yun with respect and presented the Lightning Emperor's body to him. Jiang Yun smiled, accepted it, and incorporated it into the mud immediately.
When Hong Ting saw Ming Hai's true face, he was shocked and quickly removed his mask. He looked at Ming Hai and laughed, "Long time no see, younger brother Fang Hai." Ming Hai turned to see Hong Ting, surprised and delighted.
Jiang Yun observed the situation and gestured for everyone to relax. The two began to converse happily. Hong Ting asked Ming Hai about the rebellion in the Whirlpool Dynasty. Everyone present was interested as Ming Hai recounted his past as the Crown Prince of the Whirlpool Dynasty, originally named Fang Hai.
Ming Hai continued that when he was about to ascend to the throne, his normally weak younger brother suddenly started gathering a powerful following. This led his father to see potential in his younger brother and extend the abdication period for a final decisive battle between them. Though Ming Hai won, the ancestors of the dynasty ultimately declared his younger brother the heir instead. Disagreeing, he angrily denounced the ancestors. Subsequently, he was imprisoned, and his brother, wanting him dead, secretly sent people to harm him to the brink of death. He was saved by his mother and sent to the Ming family in the Northern Realm, with news spreading that he had died due to treason.
Upon hearing Ming Hai's story, Hong Ting shared his own, revealing surprising similarities between their experiences.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yun smiled and told everyone to stop, giving Ming Hai a mask and instructing him to follow. Ming Hai put on the mask, wondering where they were headed. Hong Ting smiled and immediately led him away.
In an instant, the scene changed, and everyone appeared in a forest with intense spiritual energy. Ming Hai felt the energy was ten times stronger than outside. Hong Ting explained that Jiang Yun had brought everyone into his miniature world.
Jiang Yun explained that this world contained ten high-level spiritual veins, a cave with a time acceleration of 1,000 times, and a spirit gathering formation of 100 times. Everyone was astonished by this information, except for Chang Qian who stuffed her mouth with Tanghulu.
Everyone looked at each other, knelt, and said, "I will follow you until the end of my life." Jiang Yun smiled and waved them to be at ease, instructing them to call him "Divine Son" from now on.
Jiang Yun created a time formation and prepared new techniques for everyone. After a while, nine rings were thrown to each of them with instructions to study and practice. Jiang Yun advised them to focus first on Mind Perception and Concealment of Luck. Upon reaching level 9 of the Saint King, they should exit the formation and inform him through the rings, as they could not break through to the Great Saint level within this place.
Everyone responded firmly and respectfully before opening their rings, discovering them filled with various skills from King-level to Saint-level.
Without delay, they entered the formation to begin their new path of cultivation.
