Chapter 106: Chapter 101: Martial Arts in the Jade Ring
Everything around grew quiet, in the midst of a forest. Ye Chen knew people from Demonic Domain and Evil Domain must have escaped as well.
After eating a Grilled Sesa Seed Cake, his heart, which was pounding uncontrollably, cald down significantly. Unaware of the passing ti, he found it was already the midnight. Holding the Jade Ring around his neck, he took it off and asked, “Do you truly know how to uncover the secrets inside this Jade Ring?”
The Red Demonic Spirit extended a hand, grabbed the Jade Ring, and unleashed a force, feeling the power within the ring.
The Jade Ring emitted a vibrant green light so strong that the surrounding environnt started to glow green in its radiance. The light kept flashing, becoming brighter and brighter. It closely resembled a green flower in full bloom. Strange symbols were visible in the bright radiance. Unable to withstand the overwhelming energy, the Red Demonic Spirit had to let the ring fall. Ye Chen quickly caught it intuitively.
The Red Demonic Spirit felt as though it were set on fire, carrying a hint of fear.
“What’s the matter?” asked Ye Chen.
“It’s very powerful, a tearing sensation.” replied the Red Demonic Spirit.
“What do you an?”
“This isn’t an ordinary Jade Ring. It possesses imnse power, incredibly vast,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.
Ye Chen held it in his hand and said, “I just saw so strange symbols.”
The Red Demonic Spirit said, “It must be a set of martial arts.”
“Martial arts, you an the symbols that appeared are a set of martial arts.”
“Yes, it’s a set of martial arts, but I don’t understand these characters.”
“My mother never ntioned anything about it.” Ye Chen suddenly rembered sothing. “But I seem to recall these symbols from sowhere.”
“You’ve seen these symbols before?”
“Yes, when I was very little.” Ye Chen slightly rembered. “I seem to have seen them in a box. Yes, it must have been my mother’s box.”
“Back in the village?” asked the Red Demonic Spirit.
“Yes, the box should still be there. We left for Immortal City in such a hurry, many things were left behind.”
“We can make a trip back to the village to find that box.”
“Didn’t you just say you didn’t want to go back to the village with ?”
The Thousand-Year-Old Demon gave a faint smile, looked at the Jade Ring again and said, “This is not an ordinary item from this world. I don’t understand these symbols either. We need a reference book to translate them, or they’re as good as an undecipherable language.”
“What do you an it’s not an ordinary item from this world? How do you know?”
The Thousand-Year-Old-Demon continued, “The power within is massive. I have never before seen such trendous energy, and it’s not easy to access either, as it has defenses.”
“You’ve never seen it.” Ye Chen thought for a while and said, “My father gave it to . I don’t think it’s supposed to be an ordinary item.”
“Your father. Who is he?”
“Soone who doesn’t want to acknowledge .”
“Why doesn’t your father acknowledge you as his son? Is it because you did sothing wrong?”
“I would love to ask him that, but I can’t. After all, it was their choice. They already have a son, how could they have the heart to acknowledge a rural bumpkin like ?”
“Your father doesn’t want you?”
“Ah, let’s not discuss this anymore. Can you unlock this thing?”
The Red Demonic Spirit nodded and said, “Of course, if there’s a reference book, I certainly can. But it will take so ti.”
“Ti, we have plenty of. As long as you can help
unlock it.” As long as it confird it’s a secret martial arts manual.
“If your father left you such an important item, he must care about you a lot.”
“Who knows!” Ye Chen gave a cold laugh.
“Did your mother ever tell you what this thing is?”
Ye Chen shook his head and said, “No, I guess she doesn’t know what it is either. She just told
it was my father’s, nothing more.”
“Having sothing so important is a good thing, really promising.”
“Ye Chen put the Jade Ring back around his neck.”
“Who on earth is your father?” asked the Red Demonic Spirit, out of curiosity.
“The Sect Leader of Immortal City.”
“What? Are you joking?”
“Unfortunately, they already have a son and a new lady, and they don’t care about
at all.”
“How can soone not want his own son?”
“Maybe they found soone better than , they don’t need , so there’s no necessity to recognize .”
“Don’t feel sad, if they don’t acknowledge you, why should you acknowledge them? The world is vast. There must be a place that belongs to you. You can’t always live under your father’s shadow, you should have a place of your own.”
“That’s right, I believe the sa, the world is so great, as long as I’m willing to work hard, I can always stand out. I don’t believe that I can only live in the countryside for my entire life, having the fate of a country bumpkin,” Ye Chen said.
“Right, you should have so ambition. Even if no one recognizes your worth, you should strive to accomplish sothing great. When the ti cos, they won’t be able to ignore you.” The Red Demonic Spirit asked, “What about your mother?”
“She… she was killed by soone from the Evil Domain not too long ago.”
“That is unfortunate, but rest assured, I’ll always be by your side, whether it’s to the ends of the earth or through tis of danger, I’ll be with you.”
“What I really need is a woman, not a millennia-old demon.”
“Could you have put it less bluntly? That hurts, you know.”
“Alright, thank you for ensuring I don’t feel too lonely.”
Ye Chen continued, “About this thing from before, why did it suddenly project such great power? It never happened before, this is the first ti I’ve encountered that.”
“I think it must have sensed that your life was in danger, so it unleashed a powerful force to protect you.”
“Is that how it is?”
“It should be so,” the Red Demonic Spirit said.
So it was a life-saving charm. Ye Chen asked again, “Is this why you chose to follow ?”
“Yes, haven’t I already said it? You’re my talisman.”
“I knew there must be a reason. Why were you so kind to not drain my life force? So that’s what is really going on.” Ye Chen let out a cold smile.
“But you’re not bad. At least, you can keep
entertained. Unlike the Black Demonic Spirit, he’s extrely introverted and hardly talks. I’m always the one doing the talking.”
“It seems like the Black Demonic Spirit has been captured by the people of the Demon Domain. Are you going to save him?”
The Red Demonic Spirit shook his head, “I’m not capable of doing that. If not careful, I might be captured too. He can keep tornting himself.”
“Not even a smidgen of compassion between you two, how cold-blooded.”
The Red Demonic Spirit chuckled, “It’s not about lack of feelings, but I truly can’t offer any help right now. They’re continually scheming to capture . I barely managed to escape. In tis of danger, even couples must prioritize themselves first.”
Ye Chen sidled up to the hearth, throwing another bundle of dry wood onto the fire, making the flas roar even higher.
Lost in his thoughts, he realised that with the help of the Red Demonic Spirit, he could uncover the secrets of the Jade Ring. “Are you sure that secret martial arts manual is what unravelled earlier?” If he wanted to make a na for himself, he had to master so formidable martial arts moves.
“Hey, you still don’t believe .”
“Believe, of course, I believe.” Suddenly, Ye Chen asked, “I have a question I’ve always wanted to ask you. Why are the people of the Immortal and Demon Domains so afraid of you?”
“Who knows? They probably think we’re all unclean, demonic creatures causing harm to people.”
“Why would the Evil and Demon Domains want to use you to practice martial arts, but not the people of the Immortal and Demon Domains?” Ye Chen asked, “Would I end up possessed or beco neither man nor woman after training with you?”
“What nonsense. It’s like saying I’m neither man nor woman. In their view, using my energy to practice martial arts is not the righteous way. They believe martial arts should be practised through hard work and perseverance, they are prejudiced against us.”
“So, I’m not on the righteous path, then?”
The millennia-old demon let out a faint smile, “That’s not the problem.”
“The issue isn’t this. Then what is it?”
“There’s nothing unrighteous about using
to practice martial arts. The key lies within you. By using us to train, you could quickly improve your martial arts skills. What’s wrong with that? So people can’t control their greed, they fail to exercise restraint.
They fall into an insatiable desire, they want more, they want to improve faster, which leads them astray without realizing it. But if you can control this, cultivating martial arts quickly and efficiently, there’s nothing wrong with it.
However, those so-called mbers of the Immortal and Demon Domains bla their own mistakes on us. It’s not our fault. Everything lies within themselves.”
“Is that so?”
“Absolutely. Therefore, good people beco better because of us, while evil people beco more wicked. It doesn’t lie with us, but within yourself.”
“If I keep following you like this, will I beco more wicked or better in the future?”
“Definitely more wicked, and even more despicable, surely nothing good will co out of it,” the millennia-old demon said.
Ye Chen said, “I also feel that I won’t beco a good person in the future, definitely a playboy.”
“If you want to take revenge, you truly need my help. I can assist you a lot.” The Red Demonic Spirit seemingly found Ye Chen’s crux. He had integrity, he was the only one who could help him, while he also needed soone’s protection.
The night had grown deeper.
“Alright, let’s continue this conversation tomorrow. I need a good night’s sleep. Stay alert, people from the Entities of Evil and Demon Domains are out. I don’t know if we’ll bump into them.”
“Don’t worry, they don’t know we’ve already escaped,” the millennia-old demon said.
The people of the Demon Domain managed to escape.
Yin Jue was only a relieved to so extent once he ascertained no disciples from the Immortal and Demon Domains were tailing him.
Yin Jue asked the man who was cutoff, “No one from the Immortal and Demon Domains followed us, right?”
“No, they seem to have laid an ambush outside. They had a fierce battle with the people from the Evil Domain, suffering substantial losses. But they weren’t as well prepared as expected, failing to form an encirclent,” Jiu Jue said.
