“Hmm,” Huno growled slightly. It was dark and he could barely see.“Are you alright?” Elta’s voice sounded beside him. Huno sat up and realized he wasn’t on the ground but on a bed. “Yeah, I’m good,”“Kiri told me everything, I’m sorry,” Elta said. “For? Come on sweetie, I won’t be stuck in this realm forever,” Huno said, forcing a smile.“I really hope so,” Elta muttered, her gaze wavering as look him in the eye. She knew what it meant to fail a baptism. Huno pulled her closed and kissed her. “Relax, I found a way, twice before, I will find a way now,” he reassured her.“Okay,” “Where are we?”“In Hacel. By the way, little Ya has been worried about you. She has been worried sick for the past seven months,” “Seven months?” Hunk’s eyes widened.“Yeah. You slept for seven months,” “Cleo, Kiri,” Huno called out but got no response.“They are handling something, somewhere in Hacel,” Elta said. “Oh, what are they doing?”“Preventing Luna’s energies from breaki
~Two Days Later~ “Have any of you seen Bing Ya?” Elta asked.“No master,” Tiya responded. She looked at Deere and Mi Hi, who exchanged glances with her. “What’s going on?” Elta asked.“Nothing master. She was with you last two da…” “I want the truth. Deere?” Elta interrupted.“Ma, um, master I really don’t know,” Tiya said. “Then what do the three of you know?” Tiya and Deere turned to Mi Hi. “What? Why me? You guys are the elder ones,” “Three, two…”“Master wait!” the three of them yelled. Elta closed one eye at them as Mi Hi spoke. “Two days ago, after you left sir told her to cultivate and since then we’ve not seen her,” “Why was that so hard to say?” Mi Hi looked at Tiya and gave her a glance as if saying, ‘it’s your turn,” Tiya looked away and ignored her. “I said why was that so hard to say?”“Because sir said if she wasn’t at the first petal when he was done, he would crumble her cultivation and make sure she never cultivates again,” Tiya sp
“Calm down, I’m not here to do that,” Huno said.“Thank you uncle,” “You’ve almost used up the lightning, that’s good,”“Uncle, why are you here?” “I want to get stronger and I need your help,”“With what uncle?” Bing Ya asked, her expression perplexed. Huno threw a storage ring at her and remained quiet. Bing Ya caught it and checked its content. “Uncle, is this not the technique master bought?” “Yeah, I don’t know if she has read it but you should read it,”“Okay uncle,” Bing Ya brought the technique out, poured her divine sense in and quietly read through it. Huno looked at her for a while and closed his eyes and hummed.“Uncle this is…” “A dual cultivation technique,” Huno interrupted. “I want to let you know, you and I will cultivate it, either willingly or by force,”“Uncle this… Can I ask master first?”Huno shook his head. “No, you can’t,” Bing Ya urged her energy and glared at Huno. “If uncle is going to force me to do this, then I rather die,”
“You can say that. Hiroshi, I appreciate what you did,”“I would follow sir to the underworld any time, any day. I owe you my life,” Hiroshi said and bowed. “Right, I had agreed to help those with the parasites,”“Before that, you have to see the old empress of ice palace,” Bing Yu interrupted. “Huh? Senior, why?”“It concerns the Melings,” “Oh, what does she want?”“You have to talk with her. You’ve kept her waiting for twenty years,” “Huh?”“Just kidding, it’s only been three years,” “I have one question senior. If something were to happen which side will you be on?” Juno’s expression turned serious as he awaited her reply.“Neither,” “Understood. Let’s go,” Huno said. “You guys shouldn’t follow. Settle your people down,”“Sir?” Hiroshi called out. “I trust senior Bing Yu and would like to talk to her,”“Understood sir,” Huno and Bing Yu took to the sky and Hiroshi turned to Hima. “Mother, he said not to follow,”“If he died, our people in there wi
“It’s either that or I’m being affected by that person’s will. But it doesn’t matter. Senior should move, blades have no eyes,” Huno said as hundreds of icicles appeared behind him. “When Bing Yu told me you have good control of ice law, I thought she exaggerated but it seems she wasn’t far off. Let’s see what you can do,” the old empress said. “Yes your majesty,” The icicles rained down immediately. Bing Yu urged her energy to destroy them but they changed trajectory, passed her and rained at the old empress. All the icicles turned into thin air as they arrived some feet around her. “Not bad but that wasn’t ice law, was it?” “Her majesty’s eyes are wonderful,”“Ice energy, you just broadened my horizon. I didn’t know one could imitate ice laws by using energy. You want to learn, right? Lesson one… Never challenge an ice empress or emperor?” “Huh?” The surrounding ten meters upwards and around her turned cold and icicles appeared. In seconds they surpassed hun
“You may leave. When I am done healing I’ll call you and make it known to everyone,”“Yes sir,” Fuyi said and left. Huno turned to Elta and smiled. She laid him down and placed her hand on his injuries. “What really happened?” “Well, I asked for a fight to test my ability, turns out…”~BAM~ “Huh?” Huno held his cheek and sat up. Elta had just slapped him, really hard. “Is something wrong with you? Why do something like that!?” she yelled. “If you don’t cherish your life, I do, okay? I do,” “Hey! I made it out didn’t I?”“What if you don’t make it next time?” “Alright, I’ll be careful. I’ll try not to do this again,”“Hmph, stinky man,” Elta snorted. “Gorgeous woman,”“We should get you something else to wear. Can you take the garment off?” “I don’t know how to, hehe,”“Sigh,” Elta shook her head.… ~A Month Later~ Huno stood in front of a building and waited quietly. The doors opened on its own and an aura diffused out. The flames around his bod
“Right? Um there’s a being called the great light and another called the great darkness. Since the birth, these two beings hated each other and fought several times trying to surprise the other,” Huno said. “From these two, some creatures were born or created. Creatures from the great light are divine beasts and creatures from the other are demon beasts,”“Light and darkness hated each other from birth. Yin and Yang?” Bing Tong said.“Forever fighting and coexisting. The balance of the universe,” Bing Yu muttered. “Um, I wouldn’t say the balance of the universe. Someone else balances the universe,” Huno said and urged his energy. It flowed around his body and then became still. He closed his eyes and cleared his mind. His breathing became calm, everything around him slowly faded away, his surroundings became dark. Huno had entered a trance state.“Who is that person?” Bing Yu spoke, interrupting him. “Huh?” Huno blinked twice.“Who is that person?” “Oh, I don’t kno
“Okay,” “Do you guys need something from the outside. I’m taking Hacel with me, so you won’t come out anytime soon,”“General secretary do we need anything?” Elta asked Fuyi.“No ma. But we need someone who can move about easily,” “Kiri, is she awake?” Huno asked.“She’s ignoring me,” Kiri said. “Cleo, come on,”“Hmph, fine,” Cleo voiced and she appeared beside Huno. “Thank you,”“Hmph,”“She’s jealous,” Kiri said. “Jealous of what?” Huno voiced and everyone around him looked at him.“Hey, who said I’m jealous?” Cleo said and everyone turned to her.“She is definitely jealous. Ever since that clone stayed on you, she has been acting different,” Kiri said. “Oh, I see,”“What did Kiri say?” “Don’t worry about it and you don’t have to be jealous, you are hundred times better than the clone. We’ve been through a lot together, I’ll never forget that,” Huno said with his divine sense. Cleo smiled slightly before snorting. “Hmph, you better,” she said. Huno
