172: Chapter 172 Heaven, Earth, and Man; Father's Soul, Mother's Soul, and One's Own Soul

"Heaven Cup!"

"Father Soul!"

Receiving the command, Chu Feng controlled Luo Yunkai's blood soul shadow and cast it into the Heaven Cup engraved with the character for 'Heaven'!

The blood soul shadow was cast inside; using the Soul as a lead, the wick ignited!

A trace of Soul Origin aura flowed from the thin tube of the Heaven Cup into the lampshade at the center of the three talents soul condensing lamp.

Luo Yunkai turned his gaze toward Xu Xiu, who was being restrained by Shi Kui. "Earth Cup!"

"Mother Soul!"

Xu Xiu seemed to understand something. Looking at the blood soul shadow being scorched and twisted frantically within the Heaven Cup, she struggled desperately.

Luo Yunkai watched her struggle indifferently, his eyes showing not the slightest hint of emotion.

He could have used the blood soul shadow method to spare her life as well.

But Xu Xiu's viciousness had made Luo Yunkai change his mind.

What truly made Bai Ji lose the will to live wasn't what Bai Ankang had done.

Rather, it was Xu Xiu, his own biological mother, pushing him toward death!

As for her claims that she had objected or thought Bai Ankang wouldn't act so stubbornly, Luo Yunkai treated them as a joke.

When Shi Kui brought Xu Xiu within an inch of the Earth Cup, Luo Yunkai chanted an incantation. The lampshade opened, and a terrifying suction force erupted.

If Shi Kui hadn't let go quickly, she might have been sucked into the Earth Cup along with her.

She patted her chest in alarm and flew to sit on Luo Yunkai's shoulder, acting frightened and seeking comfort.

"That was a close call," Shi Kui thought to herself. As expected of a Spirit Treasure.

She strongly suspected that the item in Luo Yunkai's hand might be an Innate Spirit Treasure.

His cold gaze shifted toward True Monarch Qingyun and True Monarch Changhong, making them feel as if they were facing a great enemy, their legs trembling.

Luo Yunkai ignored Shi Kui's little antics and focused his gaze on the last of the Heaven, Earth, and Man talents—the 'Man' talent.

"Man Cup!"

"Self Soul!"

Chu Feng controlled Bai Ji's blood soul shadow and cast it into the Man Cup.

All three wicks were now lit.

Only the Earth Cup emitted shrill wails of agony, as if suffering through immense torture, the entire Soul form twisting inside the Earth Cup's lampshade.

But no one paid her any attention.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the very center of the three talents soul condensing lamp, where a Soul light without a wick began to glow.

Three Talents return to one, the Soul Origin returns!

Among everyone present, Chu Feng was the most familiar with Souls.

From that Soul light, he sensed Bai Ji's aura!

Unable to help himself, he activated his Bloodline resonance.

The Soul light at the center of the three talents soul condensing lamp flickered.

Chu Feng lunged forward in excitement, wanting to touch the three talents soul condensing lamp, yet he was too afraid to approach. He hovered protectively around it, laughing and crying at the same time.

"He's coming back, he's coming back..."

No one knew the guilt and suffering he had endured in his heart these past days.

Ye Fan exhaled a heavy breath of turbid Qi, feeling as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Luo Yunkai really wanted to hold the three talents soul condensing lamp himself and nurture it carefully, but seeing little Feng laughing and crying like that, he sighed.

Fine, as long as it stays under my watch.

"Little Feng."

Chu Feng's body stiffened.

"The three talents soul condensing lamp is your brother's only hope for Rebirth. I want you to protect it well!"

Chu Feng turned his head in disbelief, wondering how he had managed such a 180-degree turn.

"Dad, are you really... really going to give such an important... to me... to protect?"

His voice was airy and trembling, filled with an indescribable excitement.

Luo Yunkai handed the lamp over. "Naturally it should be you. If you hadn't tried to toy with Kong Yishui, why would your brother have suffered this calamity? If you don't protect his Rebirth, who will?"

Hearing his father speak so openly about the matter instead of remaining silent, the tense string in Chu Feng's heart finally relaxed.

He wiped his face, clearing away the tears that had unconsciously covered it, his eyes still rimmed with red. "Yes, Dad is right. I should be the one!"

He carefully cradled the three talents soul condensing lamp as the blood river shrank, forming a crimson barrier around him.

Luo Yunkai only took one look and didn't say that there was no need to be so cautious or that it consumed too much demonic power.

Ye Fan sighed helplessly and could only check if he had any Medicinal Pills left that could restore demonic power for a demonic cultivator.

Great, none left. I have to perform Alchemy again!

Ye Fan followed them out of the Bai Residence, deciding he would spend the entire journey back performing Alchemy.

As he stepped out of the Bai Residence, Ye Fan glanced back.

The corpses of Bai Ankang and Xu Xiu lay on the ground directly facing the main gate. Only now did the servants of the Bai Residence dare to come out to collect the bodies, and some glared resentfully at the backs of Luo Yunkai's group.

Meeting Ye Fan's gaze, those servants lowered their heads as if struck by lightning.

Ye Fan's face was full of a gentle, warm smile.

He even spotted a familiar face—the lackey who had followed Bai Shao to their door years ago.

He indifferently withdrew his gaze and hurried to catch up with his father's pace.

Behind them, a mysterious fire began to spread throughout the entire Bai Residence.

Terrified curses and screams twisted within the flames.

little fire flew back into Ye Fan's body with a 'shoo', not daring to say a single word.

Yin Qiu heard the heatwave and cries for help from behind and looked back.

True Monarch Changhong immediately pulled his daughter, who was clinging to Bai Ji's body. "They got what they deserved."

Yin Qiu nodded woodenly. "I know. The Bai Residence was built entirely by relying on Brother Bai Ji. They used Brother Bai Ji's name to act lawlessly everywhere but didn't protect him. Now, they deserve to die."

True Monarch Changhong breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, his daughter didn't choose this moment to be stubborn.

"Dad, do you think Brother Bai Ji can really be saved?" Yin Qiu's drifting gaze landed on Chu Feng's side.

The dense crimson color prevented her from seeing the state of the three talents soul condensing lamp.

True Monarch Changhong found it difficult to answer. "He probably can, right?"

Hope rose in Yin Qiu's heart. Looking down at Brother Bai Ji's corpse, a pang of pain hit her eyes.

"I must protect Brother Bai Ji's body. I can't let his Soul return only to find his body gone!"

On the flying boat back to Zhaoye City, everyone had their own tasks.

Ye Fan immersed himself in Alchemy, and whenever a pill was finished, he had Little Wood deliver it to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng maintained the blood river state at all times, guarding the three talents soul condensing lamp and the recovering Bai Ji inside with full tension.

In her own room, Yin Qiu kept company with the corpse every day, tending to Bai Ji's body until it looked like a sleeping living person, with his skin still retaining its elasticity.

Luo Yunkai, meanwhile, was having a headache!

Looking at Shi Kui, who had sneaked into his room at some unknown point, Luo Yunkai didn't even dare to sleep now.

He was afraid that one day he'd wake up and face another 'three years minimum, death penalty maximum' situation!

A flash of obvious disappointment crossed Shi Kui's round eyes, and then she flew in front of Luo Yunkai with her hands on her hips, striking first.

"Speak! Did you intentionally bully my son! Giving my son a Cultivation Technique that he can't Cultivate!"

Luo Yunkai said with a cold face, "Stop playing your tricks here!"

He didn't feel guilty at all.

Toward Xuan Ming, just like his other sons, what he had brought out was an Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique.

Isn't it normal for an Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique to have requirements for cultivation?

Even though Shi Kui might not know this, it didn't stop Luo Yunkai from being perfectly confident.

Seeing that she hadn't fooled him and couldn't take advantage of the man, Shi Kui puffed out her cheeks in anger.

"I don't care, you're just making things difficult for our son because you don't like me. Unless you sleep with me once, I won't believe you."

Luo Yunkai's snow-white beard trembled with rage as he spat out a single word.

"Scram."

Believe it or not!

Seeing that Luo Yunkai was truly angry, Shi Kui flew over to snuggle up to him pleasingly, not getting upset even when she was pushed away.

"I know you're the best, Young Master, giving even an Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique to our son. I really am Young Master's favorite."

Luo Yunkai's expression suddenly turned cold, and the room's temperature dropped to the freezing point.
