Yun Che continued speaking, “After I met my grandfather, he told me my biological parents’ names and a lot of things about the Illusory Demon Realm. In the time that we spent together, he instructed me in my cultivation, and used his Profound Handle to fight with me day and night. In the end, he even risked using all of his strength to awaken my Profound Handle, and gave me the thing that he was protecting with his life for a hundred years, to bring back to the Illusory Demon Realm… ”
“What happened after that? If you escaped, did your grandfather escape with you? Where is he now?” Yun Qinghong asked impatiently.
Yun Che’s face grew dark. He looked down, and said softly, “The place where grandfather and I were held was suppressed by the Heaven’s Punishment Sword. We could not break out relying solely on my strength back then. The Meteorite Chain that was on grandfather, the Heaven’s Punishment Sword, and the Heaven’s Might Soul Suppressing Formation were all bound to grandfather. After grandfather gave me the thing he was protecting with his life, he… killed himself… to set me free…”
Yun Qinghong was so shocked, he fell back a couple of steps as if he was struck by lightning.
Mu Yurou closed her eyes and covered her mouth as tears silently trickled down her face.
“Just as well… just as well…” Yun Qinghong murmured soullessly, “He was imprisoned in a place without daylight for a hundred years… He had suffered too much… Just as well… Now, he doesn’t have to suffer anymore. He is free. He can rest in peace. Before his death, he was able to find a trustworthy person to pass on his mission, see his own grandson, and he save his grandson’s life with his own life… when my father passed away… he must have been smiling…”
“Yes,” Yun Che nodded his head: “Grandfather died while smiling.”
“Mn…” Yun Qinghong closed his eyes as tears rolled down across his cheeks, leaving a watery trail. Died while smiling… this was the only thing that could ease his sorrow.
“I brought back grandfather’s body.”
Yun Che backed away a little. Following the Sky Poison Pearl’s flicker of light, the Coffin of Eternity appeared before them. After acquiring the Coffin of Eternity, where Hong’er was asleep for however many years, he put Yun Canghai’s body in it. Because he was laying in the Coffin of Eternity, even if thousands and millions of years passed by, nothing would be damaged or changed. The second it closed up, it was as though the time inside was eternally frozen.
