C97 (2/2)

Xiong Yu said a bit embarrassedly, ”I picked up this sword while travelling overseas. After your parents' verification, they said this sword is a waste that cultivators abandoned. Hehe, I actually picked it up to show off.”

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment. He immediately understood that his parents had been waiting for him on Earth for hundreds of years. It was impossible that they had never been to Bear's cave abode before. He asked, ”Then did you find it beside the teleportation circle?”

The only possibility was that they would be able to find items abandoned by cultivators. Only in that place would they be able to find traces of cultivators visiting Earth, because, in the legends of the mortal world, the figure of an immortal once appeared there. That place was – Penglai Immortal Island, the location of the teleportation portal.

Xiong Yu nodded his head and said, ”I passed that place five thousand years ago and there was a large rock that was thrown here and there. I didn't know what kind of teleportation formation it was, and when I saw it, I thought it was a treasure. Only through your father's explanation did I find out it was someone else who threw it away, hehe!” Pointing to the dozen or so items that lined up next to the dagger, he said, ”These items were all found near the teleportation formation. They're not worth looking at.”

Turning around, he picked up a crescent-shaped item from the shelf and passed it to Ling Yan. ”Your parents don't recognize this item either. It's called tough, but it's not soft. Can you tell what it is?”

When he caught the crescent moon in his hand, he suddenly felt a sense of absent-mindedness, as if he had retrieved something he had deposited in someone else's house. An indescribable sense of familiarity rose up in his heart, and as Ling Yan stared blankly at the crescent moon in his hand, he thought back to his long and short life, and he was sure that he had never seen this milky white crescent moon shaped object. It was not the crescent moon shaped object that he was familiar with, but the breath it gave off.

Xiong Chu was surprised to see Ling Yan's questioning expression. He asked, ”You can tell what kind of things are you talking about?” He had just passed the crescent moon to Ling Yan in order to divert Ling Yan's attention so that she wouldn't be able to see through him, much less talk about him. However, looking at his expression now, it seemed like he could really pick up on something.

Ji Xiaoqian was playing with a small bowl like green object. He walked over and asked curiously, ”Brother, what is this?”

Ling Yan shook his head and said, ”I don't know what this is, but the aura it contains is very familiar. I feel like I've encountered something similar somewhere, but I just can't recall it.” After a moment of careful observation, he said, ”My spiritual sense can't detect anything. This thing seems to be completely empty — move aside. I'll infuse it with true energy to see what reaction it will have.”

When the two of them took a few steps back, they slightly circulated their energy and forced the true essence within their bodies through their arms towards the crescent moon. When the true essence came in contact with the crescent moon, it was actually like a wild horse that had suddenly escaped from control, crazily pouring itself into the crescent moon.

Ling Yan was startled, and hurriedly tried to stop the torrent of true energy, but his true energy was completely out of his control. No matter how hard Ling Yan tried to control it, the absorption of true energy by the crescent moon did not slow down in the slightest, on the contrary, it became more and more intense. Not long later, the rich true energy within Ling Yan's body began to show signs of being sucked dry.

Xiong and Xiao Qian saw that Ling Yan was holding the crescent in his hands and did not move at all. They assumed that he was studying the characteristics of the crescent moon and did not know that Ling Yan was at a critical moment in his life or death situation. Xiong was still anticipating Ling Yan's results, but after a few minutes, Ji Xiaoqian turned around to play with something else.

Ling Yan gave up on controlling his primeval essence, because no matter what he did, it would be futile to try and control the loss of primeval essence. Ling Yan tried his best to calm himself down. Xiong and Xiao Qian didn't know what kind of situation they were facing and couldn't count on their help. Even if they did, it probably wouldn't be of any use.

The core seemed to sense the crisis in its body, and the frequency of swallowing and exhaling also gradually increased. It began to release strands of black silk true essence. This black silk true essence was the true essence known as heavenly might. The appearance of the cyan silk zhen yuan did not improve Ling Yan's situation. A day ago, he had still been sucked into the crescent moon. However, as the cyan silk zhen yuan had just entered the crescent moon, something strange happened —

The crescent in Ling Yan's hand radiated countless beams of pure white light, and these beams of light filled the entire space in the room like pillars of light. Following the appearance of these beams of light, the crescent moon suddenly flashed, flying out of Ling Yan's palm at an extremely fast speed and circling Ling Yan a few times. Afterwards, it hovered above Ling Yan's head, releasing a series of light trembling sounds.

Ling Yan staggered as he regained his footing and slowly lifted his head to look at the crescent moon hovering above his head. With a bitter smile, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground, sitting cross-legged to recuperate. Currently, the primeval essence within his body had basically been absorbed by the crescent moon. If not for the fact that there was still some black silk that held some of his primeval essence, Ling Yan's current condition was not that of exhaustion, but of unconsciousness.

The bear was three meters away from Ling Yan when it was jolted back to its original position by a loud noise. Its back hit the wooden frame, causing it to shake and the items on it to fall to the ground.

Ji Xiaoqian was in the corner and was quite a distance away, but she was still stunned by the loud noise. She endured the dizziness caused by the sound wave that went straight to her heart, and when she turned around and saw Ling Yan smiling bitterly and falling to the ground, she was stunned. She hurriedly threw away the translucent ruler in her hand and rushed over, but before she could get close to Ling Yan, she was stopped by Xiong Shou's voice, ”Girl, stop right there! Bro, if there's no problem, you can't get close! ”
