Eternal Heart
Chapter 779: Reaction of the Jade Pendant

"Seven years ago?"

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng exchanged glances.

It was indeed seven years ago that they had left the Kunyun Realm and arrived in the Great Yu Realm.

Could it be that it was at that time, when the Shenluo Order opened the spatial passage, that the high echelons of the Blood Moon Sect had taken the opportunity to send out a sensing?

There was another point, this elder had known the origins of the Blood Moon Sect from the start, and had not spoken about it directly at the Food God feast because the matter was too confidential and revealing it could have negatively impacted the reputation of the Evil Moon Sect.

"It seems that the two of you originate from that particular realm, could you specifically speak of what occurred there?"

The elder with the wooden staff asked.

At this point, Chen Yu felt there was no need to conceal anything, especially since they needed the help of the Evil Moon Sect to return to the Kunyun Realm.

"The Kunyun Realm was occupied by an alien race, and the Blood Moon Sect was heavily defeated..."

He wanted to return to see for himself and had worries about this as well.

"I see..."

The elder with the wooden staff appeared thoughtful.

The universe is vast, and there are countless realms, with many a realm’s powers continuously exploring and expanding their territories.

Coincidentally, the Kunyun Realm had been occupied by the Blood Moon Sect first and then suddenly invaded by an alien race that took over.

"May I know if the elder could send us back to Kunyun?"

Chen Yu immediately asked.

That was the main point.

If the Evil Moon Sect disagreed, then everything said before was futile.

In fact, Chen Yu felt it was highly likely that the Evil Moon Sect would refuse.

Searching for a realm across the vast universe for seven years and the consumption of human and material resources were unimaginable.

Secondly, sending Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng back to Kunyun Realm would also come at a certain cost.

"There is no great issue with that, but you must agree to two conditions from me."

The elder with the wooden staff stated immediately, as if he had been prepared.

"What are the conditions?"

Chen Yu was not angry but relieved; as long as the Evil Moon Sect had conditions, there would be room for negotiation.

But if the conditions were too harsh, he might refuse.

"The first condition is that the alien race must be expelled and thereafter, the Kunyun Realm will still be ruled by the Blood Moon Sect."

The elder stated solemnly.

This was very important.

If not for valuing the resources of a small realm, the Evil Moon Sect would hardly bother to seek out the Kunyun Realm.

Chen Yu hesitated.

Having his homeland ruled by another power was somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

But in reality, even if he did not agree, the Evil Moon Sect had the capability to reoccupy the Kunyun Realm.

Even Black Demon Valley would not dare to confront the Evil Moon Sect head-on.

"If the elder promises not to indiscriminately slaughter the people of Kunyun Realm, I can agree to this condition,"

Chen Yu pondered for a long time before speaking.

From another perspective, the rule of the Evil Moon Sect also counted as a form of protection.

"No problem with that,"

The elder with the wooden staff replied, as if he had anticipated it.

In fact, major powers controlling a small realm would only occasionally and indiscriminately slaughter the beings if they were nefarious factions.

For a major force like the Evil Moon Sect, they regarded alien realms as grounds for trials, completely disregarding the lives of the beings within them.

"And the second condition?"

Chen Yu asked.

"The second point, our sect’s Fallen Moon Venerable wishes to exchange pointers with you,"

The elder with the wooden staff revealed, and upon seeing Chen Yu’s puzzled look, he smiled slightly, as if this too was in his forecast.

In fact, when Fallen Moon Venerable passed the second stage and saw Chen Yu emerge at the same time, he had considered Chen Yu as his next opponent.

The subsequent Food God feast did not provide him an opportunity to act.

But at the Food God feast, Chen Yu’s performance was brilliant, and the scene where he defeated East Gate Zhengyu particularly made Fallen Moon Venerable regard Chen Yu as a worthy opponent.

"Afraid?"

Yang Yue had a faint smile on her face.

Having suffered a loss at Chen Yu’s hands before, she was eager to see Chen Yu experience a setback, especially at the hands of a disciple of the Evil Moon Sect.

"This point is not a problem."

Chen Yu spoke, only curious why Fallen Moon Venerable would want to exchange pointers with him.

"Good, then it’s settled."

The elder with the wooden staff smiled, then spoke earnestly, "At the current stage, our sect’s external exploration team has not yet returned. You may stay with the Evil Moon Sect for now. Once we receive definite news, we will inform you."

"I then await the elder’s good news."

Chen Yu was in a good mood, bowed slightly, and then left.

Afterward, Yin and Yang arranged two rooms for them without saying another word and left.

In a while, they returned to the residence of the elder with the wooden staff.

"Elder Huai, how could you set such simple conditions?"

The conditions set by Elder Huai were indeed trivial compared to the costs incurred by the Evil Moon Sect.

"If we asked too much, do you think he would agree?"

The elder known as "Elder Huai" asked with a smile.

"If he doesn’t agree, what then?"

Yang Yue replied indifferently.

"This fellow is not a common man; if we can forge a good relationship, why instigate hostility?"

Elder Huai retorted.

Indeed, in the eyes of the Evil Moon Sect, Chen Yu’s value was greater than that of the entire realm.

Chen Yu, who had participated in the Food God’s Feast, would surely become a King in the future.

Yet in a minor Kunyun Realm, with its sparse vital energy, it was estimated that no King had ever emerged.

Additionally, in a normal ranking battle of the Heavenly Pride List, those who ranked in the top ten in the Southern Domain rightly enjoyed immense privileges.

As these ten people were highly likely to break through to become Kings, they would later become pillars of the Southern Domain.

Yang Yue and Luofeng did not speak further, though they felt a bit jealous in their hearts, not expecting Elder Huai to think so highly of Chen Yu.

"Elder, can we go?"

The two asked together.

"If the gaps in the Kunyun Realm are significant, you can go, but your presence would not be of much use."

Elder Huai pondered.

"Elder, you seem to be biased toward outsiders."

The two expressed their dissatisfaction.

Exploration outside the realm was not something that could yield results in a day or two.

The Evil Moon Sect had also been searching for seven years, and perhaps their efforts were not extensive.

Chen Yu resided comfortably at the Evil Moon Sect, and his living and cultivation environments were no worse than in Black Demon Valley.

During this half-year stay, Chen Yu primarily focused on "Approaching the Six Heavens of Demons" and refining mysterious weapons.

Despite this, his cultivation reached its peak, and he was about to break through the Sky Sea Middle Stage.

It was conceivable that if he had concentrated solely on the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record" during this half-year, he might have already broken through.

"If there’s still no news in another half-year, I’ll make a breakthrough at the Evil Moon Sect to the Sky Sea Middle Stage."

Chen Yu made a decision in his mind.

That day.

His Spiritual Sense merged into the half of the Jade Pendant on his body, which emanated an immaculate and sacred halo, spreading a pure and holy aura.

The white sacred light enveloped and penetrated Chen Yu’s whole body, giving him the warmth of bathing in a hot spring.

Moments later.

Chen Yu’s spiritual power quickly depleted, and the white sacred glow on the half of the Jade Pendant was about to disappear.

His physical body, Cultivation Technique’s True Qi, and consciousness all became purer to some extent.

"Chen Yu, Elder Huai has summoned you."

Yang Yue’s voice came from outside.

"I know."

Chen Yu responded, getting up to go.

But just then.

Whoosh!

The Jade Pendant on his body suddenly radiated a strong light and began to float.

As if responding to something, the half of the Jade Pendant drifted in a certain direction.

This sight stirred up shock in Chen Yu’s mind, and he froze on the spot.

Since he had been given the Jade Pendant by his foster parents, Chen Yu had always worn it.

This Jade Pendant concerned his origin.

But at this moment, the Jade Pendant suddenly reacted, an occurrence that had never happened in these years.

"Could it be that my biological parents..."

Chen Yu’s eyes were vacant, and he murmured to himself.

He hadn’t held much hope before, but now that the Jade Pendant had reacted, Chen Yu realized that the Great Yu Realm might indeed have clues about his origins.

"Chen Yu, hurry up."

Outside, Yang Yue’s urging came, slightly impatient.

"Let’s go."

Chen Yu voiced out, his heart distracted.

Moments later, he and Ye Luofeng arrived at Elder Huai’s residence.

"The location of the Kunyun Realm has been determined, very far from the Great Yu Realm. And the defense measures of the Kunyun Realm are very stable; currently, the Evil Moon Sect can only send two to three people in, bearing some costs."

Elder Huai was still straightforward.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng could not help but show joy on their faces.

"So, if you want to go, you can set off right away."

Elder Huai spoke again.

"Before that, the second condition must be fulfilled, right?"

Chen Yu smiled and spoke out proactively.

Elder Huai had initially set two conditions, which he remembered clearly.

Now that the position of the Kunyun Realm was confirmed, and they were sure they could send them there.

The agreement between Chen Yu and the Evil Moon Sect was then implemented.

"That’s right."

Seeing that Chen Yu seemed prepared, Elder Huai got up and led the way.

Before long, they left the territory of the Evil Moon Sect and arrived at a desolate place nearby.

Not far off on a hillside, a man in a grey-black robe who seemed to have been waiting for a long time suddenly looked up, his dark yellow eyes glittering.

This person was Fallen Moon Venerable, number one on the Heavenly Pride List.

"Let me see how much you’ve progressed after attending the Food God’s Feast."

Fallen Moon Venerable spoke, a fighting spirit accompanied by an overwhelming might spreading gradually.

Centered on him, within nearly five hundred yards, all was a dark yellow, shattered illusion.

Chen Yu blinked slightly, finding it odd that Fallen Moon Venerable’s cultivation was still at the Sky Sea Middle Stage, without having made a breakthrough, even after more than a year since the Food God’s Feast.

"I look forward to our battle, but it would be quite boring if you had made a breakthrough."

Fallen Moon Venerable noticed Chen Yu’s confusion and revealed a faint smile.

If Chen Yu made a breakthrough at the Evil Moon Sect within the half-year, Fallen Moon Venerable would also choose to advance.

Otherwise, being two minor levels above Chen Yu in cultivation, he would feel embarrassed to challenge Chen Yu.

However, to Chen Yu, this statement seemed somewhat provocatively contemptuous.

"Then let me see the strength of the number one on the Heavenly Pride List."

Chen Yu also entered the state, his eyes emitting two demonic glows.
