153: Revisiting the old place

The next day.

After resting, Lin Yang accompanied Ji Kunchang to continue their travels outside the city.

Half a month passed like this.

The two of them traveled around, enjoying the scenery, while heading towards the Eastern Wasteland.

"Brother Lin, I never expected your fishing skills to be so superb."

"The feeling is mutual, Brother Ji. Your hunting skills are truly exceptional."

"Hahaha, there's another city ahead. Let's go, let's continue treasure hunting!"

"......"

In Ji Kunchang's entire life, he had never been as happy as he was during this period spent with Lin Yang.

Back when he was in the Upper Realm.

Simply because at the age of three, he wanted to dig out his younger Brother Ji Bai's Supreme Bone, he was met with cold treatment from the entire Family!

The Family elders believed that he wanted to harm his younger Brother Ji Bai, who was a born Supreme, that he was narrow-minded, inherently cold-blooded, and not worth cultivating.

Little did they know, the reason he wanted to dig out his younger brother's Supreme Bone was for his younger brother's own good.

Because.

Through his double pupils, Ji Kunchang saw that his younger Brother Ji Bai's Supreme Bone had regenerative power.

As long as the bone was removed while he was young, a new, even stronger Supreme Bone would surely regrow in the future!

At that time, the original bone could be reattached to his body.

Ji Bai would become a rare Dual Bone Supreme!

Unfortunately, no one understood his good intentions.

The Family members naturally didn't believe a three-year-old child's words.

If that bone was dug out, could Ji Bai even survive?

Everyone just thought Ji Kunchang was narrow-minded and couldn't tolerate his younger Brother Ji Bai, a born Supreme.

Ji Bai's mother had a very prominent background, being the former Saintess of an Eternal Family.

Upon hearing that Ji Kunchang wanted to dig out her child's bone, she immediately flew into a rage, threatening to dig out Ji Kunchang's double pupils and transplant them into her child Ji Bai's eyes.

Such an act of fratricide was, of course, not agreed upon by the Ji Family elders.

But they couldn't withstand Ji Bai's mother's constant crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

As well as the continuous pressure from her maternal Family.

If an explanation wasn't given, they would take the born Supreme Ji Bai to her maternal Family for cultivation.

Under duress, the Family finally decided after unanimous discussion:

Both the Supreme Bone and the double pupils must remain within the Family, but the born Supreme Ji Bai and the double-pupiled Ji Kunchang needed to be cultivated separately!

Due to Ji Kunchang being in the wrong for first suggesting to dig out Ji Bai's Supreme Bone, coupled with Ji Bai's mother's powerful background.

Ultimately, Ji Bai was naturally kept within the Family for cultivation.

As for Ji Kunchang, he was exiled to the almost desolate Second Ancestral Land, entrusted to the care of a few elderly people whose lives were flickering like candles in the wind.

No one expected.

This exile lasted for over twenty years.

During this period, Ji Kunchang suffered several assassination attempts.

If not for the early warnings from his double pupils, and the life-saving protection of the elders in the Second Ancestral Land, Ji Kunchang would have long since turned into a mound of yellow earth.

As for those assassinations, Ji Kunchang had long known the truth.

They were undoubtedly orchestrated by Ji Bai's mother.

She wanted to dig out the double pupils from his eyes and transplant them onto Ji Bai.

However, what disheartened Ji Kunchang was that the Ji Family members should have long known about Ji Bai's mother's actions.

But no one came forward to stop her.

It was clear that the people within the Family didn't care about Ji Kunchang's life or death.

All they cared about were the double pupils in his eyes!

Whether Ji Kunchang lived or died, as long as the double pupils remained in the Ji Family, it was enough.

This undoubtedly broke Ji Kunchang's heart.

And from that moment on, Ji Kunchang's relationship with the Ji Imperial Clan plummeted to an all-time low.

If not for the dying wishes of the elders who raised him in the Second Ancestral Land, urging him not to resent the Ji Family, Ji Kunchang would have long since betrayed the Ji Family. Why would he still obey the orders of the Ji Family Old Ancestor Emperor Anlan to descend to the Lower Realm?

Apart from those few elders.

This was the first time Ji Kunchang had felt long-lost care from an outsider.

Moreover, unlike the elders who raised him.

Although those elders cared for him, their generation gap was simply too large, making it difficult to find common ground.

But "Lin Ri" was different.

They were both of the same age, and within just a few days of knowing each other, they had endless common topics to discuss.

"Why didn't I descend to the Lower Realm earlier to meet Brother Lin!"

Ji Kunchang truly regretted not meeting him sooner.

If he had known that a kindred spirit like "Lin Ri" was waiting for him in the Lower Realm, he would never have waited until now to descend.

Thus, the two walked and chatted.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at Ji Kunchang's final destination for his descent to the Lower Realm.

A vast, endless desert in a remote area of the Eastern Wasteland.

"This is..."

Lin Yang looked at the endless desert, where yellow sand filled the sky, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Because he had been to this desert before.

If he remembered correctly, deep within this desert, there was a ruin of an ancient divine hall.

It was precisely the Yin Yang Divine Hall ruins that his Master Mu Yunxi and Junior Martial Uncle Azure Water Immortal had taken him to a long time ago.

In those ruins, some unexpected and indescribable events had also occurred.

"yin-yang sundial... Yin Yang Divine Hall..."

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yang suddenly remembered that Ji Kunchang had previously mentioned wanting to find a treasure called the "yin-yang sundial."

And wasn't the divine hall ruin deep in this desert the Yin Yang Divine Hall?

Harboring a guess, Lin Yang and Ji Kunchang continued to venture deeper into the desert.

Soon after, they indeed saw the entrance to the Yin Yang Divine Hall ruins again.

"Found it, this is it!"

Ji Kunchang looked at the entrance to the ruins, a look of excitement on his face.

The legendary Yin Yang Divine Hall, even in ancient times, was one of the most prestigious Supreme powers.

It wielded the yin-yang sundial, one of the Immortal Artifacts that suppressed the world!

"Brother Lin, we must be careful after we enter! The Yin Yang Divine Hall was one of the ancient Supreme powers, and its remaining ruins are bound to be fraught with danger."

After confirming the destination, Ji Kunchang also turned around and solemnly instructed "Lin Ri."

Seeing Ji Kunchang's grave expression, Lin Yang hesitated for a moment but still didn't reveal the fact that he had been inside before.

Instead, he nodded with an equally serious expression.

Divine Hall Ruins.

After the two entered, the environment inside was almost identical to when Lin Yang had first arrived.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the familiar primeval forest.

He remembered that on his first visit, Lin Yang and his companions encountered two peerless Vicious Beasts that looked exactly like the legendary Sacred Beast White Tiger and the Yin-Yang Jade Rabbit.

It had given Lin Yang, who was only in the Martial King Realm at the time, quite a scare.

"I wonder if Sleepy Cat and Stupid Rabbit are still here?"

With a hint of curiosity, Lin Yang and Ji Kunchang walked together into the vast primeval forest before them.

"Roar..."

And at the very moment they stepped into the forest.

Deep within the forest.

A large white-furred cat with a golden "King" character on its forehead suddenly raised its head, its gaze penetrating layers of space, looking towards the entrance of the forest.

A human-like look of surprise flashed in its massive beast eyes.

"Huh? Why is this kid here again? And he brought an outsider."

It was Lin Yang's old acquaintance, Sleepy Cat.

She looked at Lin Yang, who was leading Ji Kunchang into this place, and a thoughtful look appeared in her bright tiger eyes.

"Should I tell Sister Rabbit?"

"Never mind, Sister Rabbit is napping right now. If I wake her up, she'll definitely scold me first..."

"Besides, this kid isn't an outsider. The person he brought shouldn't be a problem..."

After a moment of thought, Sleepy Cat retracted her neck and continued to lie leisurely under the tree, closing her eyes.
