The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)

The Sequence Lands were a very strange area.

This land actually had some relations with New Moon Land’s Southern Forbidden Region.

The Sequence Lands could be described as the most south western extreme. In other words, it was the Southern Forbidden Region which Chu Mu was extremely familiar with.

The vast majority of creatures inhabiting this area were of the dark type. There were also a few other type creatures and the Nightmare species was the ruler of this territory.

The Sequence Land seemed narrow in shape and it extended along the dividing line of the Heavenly Ridge world from the southwestern extreme. The reason why Heavenly Ridge became the barrier between Wupan Continent and New Moon Land was largely due to the savage and terrifying Nightmare species inhabiting this area.

Most of the time, there were no trace of humans in the Sequence Lands. The grey and barren lands would perpetually flare up with a mysterious flame, which was somewhat similar to Nightmare Palace’s Nightmare Holy Region.

A dense darkness element filled the sky and occasionally, some strange figures would float. It was unknown what kind of creatures these were.

Suddenly, a silver devil light flew right along the ground. It flew across this area in a flash. It was extremely fast and seemed like it was going to split the ground.

This figure was flying out of the Sequence Lands and towards Zhengming Main City. The figure was burning with a silver devil flames, and the body seemed like it was casted out of mercury. It had a pair of silver and white divine eyes that carried traces of coldness amidst their imposing nature.

Eventually, it flew out of the Sequence Lands, leaving the countless mountains and plains behind him.

The long distance between the Sequence Lands and Zhengming Continent contained no human cities. The silver devil flew right until it reached the first city located on the edge of the border before stopping. It shed the astonishing devil flames off its body and searched for a place to rest.

However, just after it entered the city, there were two soul pet trainers dressed strangely that stopped him.

“Mister Bai Yu?” asked a luxuriously dressed man with a jade hat.

Bai Yu calmly sized up these two people. Hints of caution rose in his heart.

This was Zhengming Continent and not many people recognized him. Moreover, they knew that they could find him here. This was rather strange.

“What’s the matter?” Bai Yu coldly stared as he spoke.

“We are members of Hidden Pupil Royalty. We have an invitation here. Our master told us that we must personally hand it to you.” faintly smiled the man wearing the jade hat.

As he spoke, the man maintained his elegant smile and handed the invitation to Bai Yu.

“I have no interest in these things.” Bai Yu couldn’t even be bothered to accept it.

“Perhaps you may,” said the jade hat man as he continued, “Our master knows what you want. There is only one person in the world that has the Limbo Flower. Xuan Gate Immortal Sect’s Old Man tricked you. He doesn’t have the ability to resurrect someone. However, our master can make your wishes a reality.”

Bai Yu creased his brows. How did these people know about this information?

Bai Yu had heard of Hidden Pupil Royalty, but he didn’t know what kind of stance they occupied in the human realm.

Finally, Bai Yu accepted the invitation.

“We hope that you are able to attend on time. We shall leave first.” the man courteously said.

The two of them turned and left. They were each riding on immortal rank soul pets. Their flying speed was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared in the horizon. It was unknown which direction they had flown in.

Bai Yu held the invitation with suspicion. However, since they had the confidence to resurrect his daughter, Bai Yu didn’t have any reason not to go.

……

“It’s very strange. Master rarely has us personally deliver invitations. Who on earth is this Bai Yu? Even those Gate Master rank people accept the invitation regardless if they want to attend or not.” muttered the other Hidden Pupil Royalty man.

“There’s something you don’t know. Bai Yu is a half human. Did you not see that he wasn’t riding a soul pet just now and flew straight into the city?” said the jade hat man.

“Half human type? But why is master interested in half human types?”

“You won’t understand. When your strength reaches a certain realm and is forever unable to continue rising, you will naturally understand the importance master places on the various abnormal creatures in the world, the species mutations that allow creatures to rise in strength, the half humans creature through combining souls, the collection of ancient ceremonial parts and the various special items. Indeed, finding some pattern in these irregularities may allow one to have a glimpse of the undying path.”

“So that’s what it was. Speaking of which, Bai Yu didn’t seem weak either. The cold aura he emitted from his body made me feel uncomfortable all over.”

“Half human types are normally very strong.”

“How about compared to us?”

“I’ve told you countless times that there’s no need to compare yourself to others. The blood in our bones is different from these people. Even if they are special half human types, they have no qualifications to be on equal terms with us. Even if he is currently stronger than us, that is only a temporary thing.” said the man with the jade hat.

……

Bai Yu’s main purpose in heading to the Sequence Lands was to train. He had inquired with Xuan Gate Immortal Sect already, but he hadn’t found any old immortal teacher with a Limbo Flower.

He initially thought that the trail had been cut off. But who knew that the person who actually had the Limbo Flower knew that he was looking for him and even took the initiative to invite him.

Bai Yu was a cautious person. He knew that nobody would help him for no reason. But what if the other person gave him a request that he could accept?

After resting in this border city for a day, Bai Yu continued flying to Zhengming Main City.

When he was very close to Zhengming Main City, Bai Yu suddenly stopped flying. He stopped in midair and looked at the ground under his feet.

“That’s strange, why is the space here somewhat chaotic?” Bai Yu faintly creased his brows.

Bai Yu possessed the other type and he could sense irregularities in space.

Currently, it was clear that the space under him was very strange. It was ostensibly thinner than usual.

"Weng~~~~~~”

"Weng~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, a spatial ripple arrived from another dimension. Bai Yu could distinctly feel that some item was going to bore its way out of that space.

Only other type creatures could walk through space. Bai Yu was curious. Was some other type creature of an independent space trying to forcibly break through the spatial barrier and arrive in this world?

After quietly waiting a moment, Bai Yu suddenly felt that he heard a call for help from inside the space. It seemed that the creature was unable to break through the final layer of space.

Bai Yu hesitated a moment before ultimately chanting an incarnation and ripping apart space.

The fissure grew deeper and deeper before finally chiselling open a visible hole.

“Sou~~~”

From the hole, a figure which neck was completely a mane, jumped out. It appeared right in front of Bai Yu.

“Strange Mane Demon?” Bai Yu was stunned. He didn’t expect it to be an extremely rare creature among the other type.

Bai Yu could feel that this Strange Mane Demon was extremely strong. However, it seemed to have been ravaged by various spatial windstorms and was currently in a very weak state. Its body was covered in wounds.

But what shocked him even more was that there was a man on the Strange Mane Demon’s back.

The man’s body was also covered in wounds, and he had already passed out.

Bai Yu understood the structure of space very well. Trying to break through a weak part of space to pass through into another dimension, like what the Strange Mane Demon had done, was rather dangerous. Obviously, this man and the Strange Mane Demon had wandered through chaotic space for a long time before finally returning to regular space.

Bai Yu stood there and looked at the Strange Mane Demon.

The Strange Mane Demon also looked at him. Although it didn’t make any noise, it was possible to see that it was asking Bai Yu for help.

Bai Yu retrieved some food and healing medicine from his spatial ring.

This pair of master and soul pet had wandered through chaotic space for an unknown period of time. Their physical and mental strength were incomparably weak. If they weren’t saved in time, they wouldn’t be able to survive a few more days.

Subsequently, Bai Yu picked up the wounded man and brought the Strange Mane Demon towards Zhengming Main City’s New Moon Palace.

Bai Yu himself wasn’t a healing teacher. He had to let New Moon Palace’s support type soul pet trainers handle this. However, he didn’t know the identity of the man with the Strange Mane Demon. He was so strong that he could wander through the chaos.

……

When he returned to New Moon Palace, Shen Mo saw Bai Yu carrying a passed out person. He asked with confusion: “Uncle Bai Yu, who is this?”

“I met a space survivor on the way. Find a few strong support soul pet trainers to help heal him. His wounds are very heavy.” Bai Yu carried the man to the healing hall. He handed over the subsequent matters to Shen Mo.

Shen Mo didn’t know what a space survivor was. But since Bai Yu had brought him back, he would see he was properly taken care of.

“Female Supreme is also in the palace. Would you like me to inform her?” Shen Mo asked Bai Yu.

“I’ll go myself.” it had been a while since Bai Yu had seen Liu Binglan and he had something to ask her about.

In the hall, Liu Binglan was talking with an elder.

The elder thought it was some young person who didn’t understand etiquette and interrupted his discussion with Female Supreme. He was about to criticize this person when he discovered that it was Bai Yu. He was stunned before he managed to put up a smile.

Bai Yu had always been the strongest person in New Moon Land, aside from Chu Mu. Although he had a conferred position now, he was gone more than Chu Mu. He didn’t manage New Moon Land’s matters at all.

“I have an invitation letter on me. Two young people from Hidden Pupil Royalty handed it to me.” Bai Yu skipped the greeting and spoke very directly.

Liu Binglan didn’t like conventional greetings either and took the invitation Bai Yu handed over. She compared it to the one she herself received.

“The invitation you received was personally for you from Hidden Pupil Royalty. Why would they pay attention to you?” asked Liu Binglan, puzzled.

“Perhaps it’s because I used my devil transformation too frequently. Since you’re also going to participate in the conference, let’s go together.” said Bai Yu.

“Ya.” Liu Binglan nodded her head.

Going with Bai Yu gave Liu Binglan more confidence.

“I saved a survivor on the way here. He looks very strong. If we are able to recruit him to New Moon Palace, it will be a good thing.” said Bai Yu.

“Ok, I’ll take a look.”
