Eternal Heart
Chapter 782: - Return to Hometown

Holy Heart Lake, Kunyun Sacred Land.

Within the restricted area of the Array, an elder hurried out, his face filled with anxiety.

Moments later, he arrived at a solemn grand hall.

At the upper end of the hall, a dignified and elegant woman was seated, her treasure-blue hair waving softly like the ocean.

As she breathed, it seemed to influence everything around her, an invisible aura of authority filling the heavens and the earth, silencing hundreds of meters around, without a single sound.

This woman was Guardian Lan Yue, one of the two great protectors of the sacred land.

In the sacred land, her authority was second only to the Saint Master.

"What’s got you so panicked, what happened?"

Guardian Lan Yue opened her deep blue eyes and asked calmly.

"Reporting to Guardian Lan Yue, I have been overseeing the Array’s restricted area. Just now, I discovered a breach in the realm’s defensive barrier, as if some creatures have intruded into the Kunyun Realm."

The elder kneeled halfway as he reported.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Guardian Lan Yue could no longer remain calm.

The defensive barrier of the Kunyun Realm was very stable and usually did not breach.

Moreover, the breach had coincided with foreign creatures intruding.

"Could it be that beings from other realms have entered the Kunyun Realm?"

Guardian Lan Yue’s expression grew grave.

If that were true, the intruders were definitely not to be underestimated. What could their purpose be?

"Do you know the location of the intruders?"

Guardian Lan Yue looked solemn, the air in the grand hall seemingly solidifying.

The elder below felt his qi and blood stagnate, making it hard to breathe.

"The intruding creatures are in the Beiyuan region..."

The elder struggled to speak.

"I will handle this matter personally; you may leave."

Guardian Lan Yue’s voice was cold.

After the elder left, she slowly stood up: "This matter is of great importance; I must inform the Saint Master."

Shortly after, a graceful and beautiful woman floated over, her skin as white as snow and her eyes like sapphire gems, pure and captivating.

If Chen Yu were here, he would recognize that this beautiful woman was his fourth junior sister, Yu Bu Yu.

"Bu Yu, help me convey some matters to the Saint Master..."

Guardian Lan Yue instructed.

"Yes, Master."

The beautiful woman "Yu Bu Yu" replied solemnly and turned to leave.

"It’s no wonder she’s called the legendary ’Extreme Yin Flame Body.’ Under my guidance, in just seven years, her cultivation has reached the late Guiyuan Realm. Truly envious."

Guardian Lan Yue sighed, then revealed a hint of a mocking smile: "It’s just a pity; once her cultivation reaches the Sky Sea Realm, the Saint Master plans to use her as a cauldron to enhance his own Spiritual Body’s talent and break through to a higher realm!"

...

"I’m finally back."

Chen Yu took a deep breath, the long-missed familiarity gradually emerging.

After seven years, he had returned to the Kunyun Realm.

He just didn’t know what changes had occurred in the Kunyun Realm during these years.

"This doesn’t seem like the ancient country."

Ye Luofeng sensed the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi for a moment and then said.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here was exceptionally thin, hard to find even in ancient countries.

"Could it be Beiyuan?"

Chen Yu felt an unusual familiarity and nostalgia, leading him to this guess.

After flying for a while, they saw a majestic city ahead.

"Let’s ask."

Chen Yu spoke up and flew ahead.

Above the large city, there were guards on patrol.

Suddenly, in the sky, two figures approached at high speed.

"Stop!"

"Flying is forbidden over Songshan City."

Two tall figures in golden armor immediately shouted.

Below the city, many people were lining up to enter, and seeing a man and a woman attempting to fly directly into Songshan City, many showed disdain while others appeared to enjoy the spectacle.

"Flying is forbidden?"

Chen Yu shook his head and smiled.

Rules are always for the weak.

The strong are the ones who make the rules.

Besides, Chen Yu was just asking for information and would leave immediately.

He flew directly into the city, about to ask a question.

Just then.

One of the guards with a cold expression, stared at Chen Yu, a hint of murderous intent in his dark eyes.

"Violating the rules of Songshan City, launch an attack, capture these two."

The cold-faced guard immediately issued the order.

The others dared not disobey.

The leader’s cultivation was near the late stage of Organ Refining, approaching the Qi Transformation Realm.

"Release the arrows!"

Upon command, all the guards on the city’s walls drew their great bows and fired sharp arrows.

In an instant, hundreds of swift arrows flew towards Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was taken aback, not expecting these people to attack directly!

Disdain appeared on his face as he stood in the void, hands behind his back, making no move to retaliate.

"This kid must be scared silly, not even trying to flee or defend."

A spectator laughed.

However, the next moment, his face stiffened, and his jaw almost dropped.

All the arrows, upon coming within thirty meters of Chen Yu, suddenly stopped as if frozen in mid-air.

This scene made everyone witnessing gasp in shock and astonishment.

"The arrow... is actually suspended in... mid-air!"

The next moment, a terrifying pressure spread in all directions, causing all creatures to tremble instinctively and prostrate themselves on the ground.

The guards above the great city felt an asphyxiating pressure.

The Golden Armor Guard felt as if a giant hand was gripping his heart, a sense of looming death enveloped him, and his life was no longer under his control.

Just then,

Within a golden hall in the great city, a Golden Robed Elder flew out, his eyes sharp and his presence extraordinary.

"Who are you, and what brings you to Songshan City?"

The Golden Robed Elder rushed over at great speed.

He sized up Chen Yu with burning eyes, but found that this youth in front of him was like a mighty peak, immensely tall, like a vast ocean, boundless.

"This person’s cultivation must be at least at the Qi Transformation Perfection, or even in the Guiyuan Realm. Such a terrifying young powerhouse, could he be from the ’Holy Land forces’?"

The Golden Robed Elder felt uneasy.

"My lord... this person!"

The Golden Armor Guard struggled to utter a few words.

The Golden Robed Elder extended his palm, signaling the other to stay silent.

"I just have one question."

Chen Yu looked at the Golden Robed Elder and said indifferently.

"What is your question, sir?"

The Golden Robed Elder, with a solemn expression, did not know what critical issue this youth would inquire about.

"Where is this?"

Upon hearing this, all those seriously listening were dumbfounded.

They all thought Chen Yu would ask about some earth-shattering secret.

Instead, Chen Yu asked a question they all found incredibly simple.

The prepared Golden Robed Elder was also taken aback for a moment, then showing a strange expression, he answered, "Yan Country, Songshan City."

"Yan Country? Beiyuan?"

Chen Yu, hearing a familiar name, couldn’t help but laugh.

He had not expected to return directly to Beiyuan—it was quite coincidental, yet it also suited his intentions.

"Luo Feng, let’s go."

Chen Yu turned around, and together with that ice-like fairy, vanished in a flash.

At that moment, the arrows hanging still in the sky all fell simultaneously.

Below Songshan City, countless people still stood dumbfounded.

They would never forget the scene they witnessed today—a young supreme powerhouse suddenly appeared, only to ask, "Where is this?"

"It seems this person is not a powerhouse from the Holy Land forces."

Seeing Chen Yu leave, the Golden Robed Elder let out a slight sigh of relief, "But why do I feel like I’ve seen this person before?"

"Luo Feng? I remember there was a peerless genius in Qi Country..."

He muttered to himself.

Suddenly,

The Golden Robed Elder trembled all over, his eyes gleaming with excitement, unable to contain his emotions.

"My lord, what’s wrong?"

The cold-faced Golden Armor Guard asked.

There was a reason he had acted so swiftly just now, as Beiyuan was in a sensitive period.

"I know now, I know who that man was!"

The Golden Robed Elder exclaimed excitedly, "That person is Alliance Leader Chen Yu!"

"Alliance Leader Chen Yu!"

The nearby guards and the rest of Songshan City all chanted this name.

Fourteen years ago, when the Three Kingdoms and the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes went to war, the situation was critically dangerous.

Then, from within Chu Country, a peerless genius emerged, achieving miracles, turning the tide of battle, defeating the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes, and becoming one of the leaders of the Three Kingdoms.

Finally, even a late Guiyuan Realm powerhouse from within the Snow Mountain Tribe also died because of Chen Yu!

...

Chu Country bordered Yan Country, and with Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng’s speed, they arrived at Xiangyang City of Chu Country in just one day.

Chen Family.

Chen Yu’s return sent shockwaves across the entire family, with the Family Head and the Ancestor personally coming out to welcome him.

"Greetings, Alliance Leader Chen!"

In the Beiyuan Three Kingdoms, Chen Yu’s status was one of an Alliance Leader, one of the most powerful people in the entire Beiyuan.

Even though his seniority within this family wasn’t high, this identity alone was enough to make all the elders greet him with respect.

"Forget about it."

Chen Yu said nonchalantly.

After experiencing so many challenges outside, no matter how grand the scene put on by the Chen Family, it seemed like child’s play to him.

"Yu’er."

From the crowd, a well-dressed woman shouted out and quickly approached.

Behind her, a middle-aged man approached with a gentle smile.

These two were Chen Yu’s parents.

"I’m back."

Chen Yu smiled warmly and embraced Mother Chen.

"After all these years, Yu’er hasn’t changed at all!"

Mother Chen examined Chen Yu closely.

Due to his cultivation realm, Chen Yu’s appearance and physique had not changed much since adulthood, only his demeanor had become more mature and steady.

But his parents had aged quite a bit from what he remembered, especially Father Chen, who had developed some white hair.

"Let’s talk more back home."

Chen Yu’s return to Chu Country was merely meant as a visit to spend time with his parents.

"Yu’er, who is this young lady?"

Mother Chen looked over Ye Luofeng, her eyes suddenly brightening, as if it was her first time seeing such a beautiful woman.

(Power outage in the middle, one update delayed, the second will be accordingly postponed.)

Ye Luofeng stood there, looking bewildered, seemingly unsure of what to say, "Auntie, hello, I am..."

"Yu’er, you have finally come to your senses, finally ready to settle down."

Mother Chen seemed to suddenly realize something. Chen Yu had returned after more than a decade, bringing only a woman with him—it was quite clear he was bringing his fiancée home.
