The Story of Nine Journeys

Bitter Reality

For a moment Jun Yuan had moved to a different place

The atmosphere in his place now felt wider than the previous place as well even though it was not really bright at least he could immediately see more clearly into the surroundings

The atmosphere in this place was like the morning before the sun was clearly visible even though it was not as cool as it should be but Jun Yuan was able to breathe better due to the aura in this place despite his dominance that dark energy only caused him to feel a little claustrophobic

In addition, where it is now located there are also mountains, forests and a lake, right on the edge of the lake stands a palace although not magnificent but looks luxurious even though still the gloomy nuances are there

" where we are now "Jun Yuan opens his voice after being satisfied to pay attention around

" where else if not where I live" Mei Lin replied

" Oh," Jun Yuan replied briefly

" You are, really, you wouldn't have many friends if your attitude was so rigid "

" Huh,,"

" Hadeeeehhh, it's not important now you better come with me, oh "

Jun Yuan was brought into the palace by Mei Lin, and they sat in an empty room with only one table and two chairs

Jun Yuan was told to wait in that place while Mei Lin went to another room

He returned with a few books in his hand

Bruukk,,, uh,,,

Mei Lin spilled the book she brought onto the table

" Look, you have to master at least three of these books because I can't always take care of you"

Mei Lin then chose two books and had Jun Yuan pick another one

He showed me a book without a cover in his hand

" I'm not the kind of creature who likes to teach someone except in a forced state so you have to learn this book yourself, this book contains the style of the sword that I mastered "

Jun Yuan nodded obediently

" Good,,,"

" Let's calm I'll help you so if there's a part you don't understand you can ask me, I honestly prefer practice over theory because I think it's more effective" Mei Lin explained

Then he showed me another book

" And this book is what you really have to master because it is directly related to you "

Jun Yuan stared with a frown

" directly related to me "

Me Lin sighed

" Listen, you should know that your body is flowing blood that contains a huge amount of dark energy and that affects your life, remember it affects your life a lot "

" I don't understand "reply Jun Yuan

" Actually what the guy who took care of you taught me, it really pisses me off "

" It's not like I said it "

" Yes yes, yes, don't say it again "

Mei Lin's patience is really tested at this time, she really does not understand there are people who do not even know who she is

" Handsome, your successor why it can be so different from you " complained Mei Lin inwardly

" Hear this good good Jun clan boy, your ancestor is a great person whom even I myself pay respect to not because of his nature and strength but his way of controlling himself "

" Truly, if you want, if you want,he could raze an empire in his own strength without the help of others easily but he did not do so and preferred to stay away from the martial world by living deep in the forest with his family "

" He also knew that strength was slowly eroding his lifespan, gradually diminishing his mental and bodily health "

" Therefore he tried hard to try to suppress the power by hiding, avoiding conflict with anyone and if forced to fight he tried to be as minimal as possible using his power "

" But no matter how hard he tried, in the end he had to surrender with his destiny,at the end of his life he had to be willing to be alienated and live in a cave with his body tied in chains with a very strong seal "

" I always remember his last words before we parted, he asked me to look after and help his descendants who inherited his power "Mei Lin ended the story by shedding red tears

" Senior, pardon" Jun Yuan said bowed down

" It's okay, after all you should know the truth not "reply Mei Lin

" You certainly feel that feeling when fighting, no, even to the point of making your heart beat because it really enjoys fighting and killing,that's the feeling he's felt all his life that's the feeling he's been trying to suppress and now you have to press him like he is because you're his successor, the heir to the blood of darkness "

Jun Yuan was more and more downcast to hear it, in his heart he acknowledged it all

" thank you that the seal embedded in your body from birth is the same seal that sealed him but with a different influence,if it used to be a seal to suppress the darkness then now the seal is in your body to strengthen your soul so as not to receive great pressure when the darkness enters your mind "

" For generations I have followed the life of your clan that I know of only two men who have survived beyond the age of forty, the first of course he and the second,, the second,,,you find out for yourself I'm lazy to remember it "

Jun Yuan flinched hearing that, this was really beyond his expectations

" Senior, turns out the same as uncle and aunt "

" It's not necessary to think about it, now all you need to do is get stronger as soon as possible so you have to master these two books "May Lin gave two books of her choice

Mei Lin then continued

" the first book you have to learn from the beginning because you are too late to use your clan's heirloom sword and the second book does not seem to be too difficult because you have mastered the UNIVERSE SEAL book because of the book the second contains a way of using the power of darkness that you have "

" Well, I will try as soon as possible to master it "reply Jun Yuan

" Good spirit, you really have to master it quickly so that in the future it is not too difficult to avenge you" said Mei Lin

*********"

In the real world precisely in the room of an inn Mu Qiaoyu was sitting with Lin Zhi who had returned from his activities, both of them were staring at Jun Yuan's body lying before them

" So why could it be like that" asked Lin Zhi after hearing the story from the girl beside him

Mu Qiaoyu shook his head

" i don't know why either but for sure after the energy beam that came out of his bracelet and into his body slowly the terrible aura that came out of his body disappeared and his condition became more stable "

Lin Zhi shook her head slowly

" Haiihhhh,, my wife, why is your life so mysterious, that's terrible, how can such a beautiful body store so much power,,, ohhh "

Lin Zhi held her head in pain when Mu Qiaoyu arrived at him

" Can't you be normal like a man, stupid, annoying senile" Qiaoyu said

" Aren't you the same, same abnormal as the other girls" muttered Lin Zhi

" What are you saying, you want to die hah "Qiaoyu said with glaring eyes

" No no,,, no noise, not to be scolded by the owner and visitor of the inn "reply Lin Zhi with a pias face

Elsewhere in the palace

" Raden, be careful, just now I felt an evil force "a voice echoing in the head of Tirta Sagara heading towards the Meeting Hall

" Thank you Uncle Naga Wiru, I also had time to feel "reply Tirta Sagara in my heart

" Raden seems like there is another aura that I recognize along with the evil force "another heavy voice that is different from the first one heard in the head of Tirta Sagara

Tirta Sagara nodded

" Thank you, Uncle Lion Lodra, for telling me "
