Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 1988: Discovered? Their Choice! Severing Memories!

The time when the Earth Emperor and other Human Sovereigns fell is too long ago; in Canglan Realm, many humans have only heard of their supreme treasures like the Ancestral Weapon, Human Emperor’s Pen, Earth Emperor’s Tome, and Heavenly Emperor Mirror.

But there are few who understand the specific uses and appearances of these supreme treasures.

Most people’s impression of the Earth Emperor’s Tome is that it’s in the form of a book, also known as the Book of Life and Death, and it’s said that writing someone’s name and birthdate in it would cause them to drop dead.

A few who have some understanding know that this miraculous use can only be achieved when the Earth Emperor’s Tome is matched with the Human Emperor’s Pen.

In the case of just having the standalone Earth Emperor’s Tome, it can actually activate the Underworld Residence constructed by the Earth Emperor.

But as for what the Underworld Residence truly looks like, even fewer know.

People like Wei Qiankun and Ji Nine from the royal clan are clearly positioned in between these two extremes.

However, Ji Wudao is different.

After all, he also follows the Humanity Path Cultivation Path, so naturally, he is very knowledgeable about relevant texts.

When he first saw those things at Ghost Gate, he didn’t think much of it, but after Ji Nine and Yao Eight died, as he looked at the Other Shore Flower and River of Oblivion, he faintly pondered over the Earth Emperor’s Tome’s composition.

He had also vaguely heard that not long ago in Cangyan State, the Earth Emperor Relic had appeared, and the supreme treasure Earth Emperor’s Tome had ultimately disappeared without a trace.

Upon learning this, he sighed with regret, feeling quite unfortunate and full of regret.

But now, he vaguely sensed that the magic treasure Mu Jinyu used to kill the enemy indeed looked very much like the Earth Emperor’s Tome.

After his shock, he couldn’t help but shout it out.

After shouting it out, Ji Wudao immediately regretted it.

Such conjecture should not be shouted out recklessly.

If Mu Jinyu’s magic treasure is truly the Earth Emperor’s Tome and someone hears it, it would bring him considerable trouble.

Though there was no one else above the sky where they were, only him, Mu Jinyu, and Wei Qiankun, and they would basically not harm Mu Jinyu, one can never be too cautious!

Therefore, Ji Wudao really wanted to slap himself hard at that moment!

After slaying Ji Nine and Yao Eight, Mu Jinyu quickly gathered those Underworld killing formations at Ghost Gate.

At this point, he also heard Ji Wudao’s shout that was full of uncertain surprise.

This made his body tense slightly, and he inexplicably felt nervous.

After all, though possessing the Earth Emperor’s Tome, even knowing that Ji Wudao wouldn’t harm him for the tome, there’s always an instinctual unease.

"What are you afraid of? You even killed people stronger than them. If they dare covet it, just kill them too!"

At this time, Ming sensed Mu Jinyu’s tension and unease, and said with some annoyance.

It did not regard Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun at all.

It indeed had the confidence since, with Mu Jinyu’s assistance and control, they together managed to kill four Zenith Space-Light Realm cultivators.

And Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun haven’t yet formally entered the Space-Light Realm, while one is just in the Late Space-Light Realm, so what is there to fear?

Listening to Ming’s words, Mu Jinyu was somewhat speechless.

While accelerating the gathering of the killing formation of the Earth Emperor’s Tome, he mindfully replied to Ming, "I’m not afraid I can’t deal with them; I’m truly worried about such a situation as you described appearing!"

His tone carried some subtle worry and apprehension.

Mu Jinyu has a great impression of Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun.

If it were those institute heads who had chosen to watch coldly as the royal clan intruded Dongyue Mansion as Dongyue Mansion’s Mansion Master, he thinks they would have sold him out.

But Wei Qiankun didn’t; he chose to vow to protect him to death.

Ji Wudao, too, risked the price of certain death to save him.

Faced with such affection, what if they have other thoughts because of the Earth Emperor’s Tome?

What could he do?

Could he really kill them?

He couldn’t.

And he certainly couldn’t give them the Earth Emperor’s Tome.

If their relationship soured just because of a magic treasure, he would truly be very sad.

"Sigh, you humans and your complex thoughts, it’s really bothersome!"

Ming, seemingly understanding Mu Jinyu’s thoughts, found it a headache and shouted in frustration before saying no more.

"Hoo!!"

At this moment, with Ming’s assistance, Mu Jinyu swiftly gathered the Underworld set-up of the Earth Emperor’s Tome.

Then he turned around to face Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun, initially intending to directly deny that it was the Earth Emperor’s Tome, but recalling their good deeds towards him.

He thought about it and ultimately didn’t want to deceive them with lies, so he nodded, saying, "Yes, it is indeed the Earth Emperor’s Tome!"

"Previously when the Earth Emperor Relic appeared, I also went to Cangyan State, and because I am pureblooded Human Race, the Earth Emperor’s Tome eventually chose me and exited the relic with me."

"No, no, I just made a mistake!"

Ji Wudao shook his head outright, not responding to Mu Jinyu’s words, and indicated with his eyes for him not to tell anyone about this matter.

"Yes." Wei Qiankun took it further; he said nothing, choosing to directly obliterate his memory of it to ensure Mu Jinyu’s absolute safety.

He entirely doesn’t know the Earth Emperor’s Tome is in Mu Jinyu’s possession.

Indeed, the Earth Emperor’s Tome is of great importance, and should he encounter a mishap someday and get soul-searched by the Foreign Race, exposing this memory would bring Mu Jinyu immense trouble!

Therefore, he’d rather his own soul suffer some injury than to leave such a potential risk for Mu Jinyu.

Seeing Wei Qiankun’s choice, Ji Wudao thought it ruthless and, hesitating not, also immediately self-obliterated that memory.

He only faintly remembers Mu Jinyu using some method that led to them successfully exterminating Ji Nine and Yao Eight.

As for the exact means Mu Jinyu employed, he instinctively chose not to delve further into it.

"You..."

Mu Jinyu saw them do this, intending to say there was no need for such action, and they shouldn’t hurt themselves.

But they had already self-obliterated that memory before he could speak.

This left Mu Jinyu to swallow the words back into his stomach.

At the same time, his heart was warmly touched, feeling both moved and guilty about their actions.

"What were you just about to say?"

Having erased that memory, Ji Wudao has forgotten about the Earth Emperor’s Tome matter and was confused by Mu Jinyu’s near-spoken words, thus inquiring.

Mu Jinyu shook his head, "Nothing, I meant to say, you both are badly injured, let me help you heal!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun exchanged glances, realizing their bodies were utterly battered and covered in wounds, appearing exceptionally miserable.

Originally, mastering the Life and Death Law, healing these injuries should have been relatively easy.

But because Ji Nine and Yao Eight carried some strange substance hindering their recovery, even after the battle ended, they had yet to recover.

Mu Jinyu saw their agreement and moved to stand beside them, placing a hand each on their backs, channeling Blood Essence into their bodies to heal them.

Simultaneously, he covertly activated the Mystical Little Tree, letting it release some essence which he also guided into their Sea of Consciousness, aiding in healing their souls, which suffered damage from self-inflicted memory oblivion!
