722 For The Nation and People, Cherish This Body No (1/2)
With Yun Yang's current mystical Qi cultivation base level, he had taken only half a day of cultivation to complete the first stage of Supreme Earth's Earth Release Charm, despite the fact that cultivating various manifestations would normally result in slower progress compared to cultivating a sole power.
This was the advantage of the accumulation of solid mystical Qi.
If it had been someone else who wanted to achieve what Yun Yang did, it was impossible to cultivate the Earth Release Charm to a beginner stage without three to five years.
What was strange was that Yun Yang felt like it was a matter of course when he cultivated the Earth Release Charm. He hardly felt the need for any insight and could enter the early world of that method with just a cycle of cultivation.
This was Yun Yang's first time experiencing it.
An odd feeling rose inexplicably the moment Yun Yang pressed his palm on the door to Supreme Earth's room. It was difficult to describe the feeling in words… It was as if he had come to the end of a path today, right at this very moment.
It was either the activation of the Earth Release Charm or Yun Yang's mind at work; anyway, the door slowly opened amidst an intense glow of yellow radiance, leading the way to the last room, Supreme Earth's room.
Casting his gaze around, Yun Yang saw that Supreme Earth's room was easily much larger than the other Supremes' rooms. There was a huge piece of calligraphy that hung in the center, signed by Supreme Earth himself.
”For the nation and people, cherish this body not!”
Yun Yang stared at the nine words and went into a trance.
For the nation and people, cherish this body not… That was absolutely right. Supreme Earth's lifetime perfectly mirrored these nine words. He was, perhaps, the epitome of these nine words.
For the nation and people, he had indeed given up everything. Not only did he forgo the throne that was within reach, but there was also the happiness of the company of his beautiful wife and son!
Descending from his rightful throne and shedding his royal status, letting go of his beloved young son and silently building the team of the Nine Supremes, he had gone from a high point where he was admired from to a hidden world where no one knew he existed.
For many years, he had fought countless times on the battlefield and gone through too many life and death situations. It was more than facing challenges, more than flirting with death. He had contributed so much, unparalleled in his merits, but no one knew about them at all. None of the fame was truly shining on him.
For the nation and people, cherish this body not – In the end, he had realized the last four words, cherish this body not! His life had ended at Tianxuan Cliff!
Even his name had never been etched on his tombstone. There was only his code name on it – Supreme Earth!
Supreme Earth!
One of the Nine Supremes, one of the heroes of the people of Yutang.
A great presence indeed.
However, this great hero had sacrificed much. Perhaps, Supreme Earth could stay in Yutang people's heart eternally, but only as Supreme Earth, not Yutang's eldest prince – Yu Chengtian!
As the most obvious decoration in the room, Yun Yang had seen the calligraphy the moment he stepped into the room. Absentmindedly, he felt a bizarre feeling surge within him, like Supreme Earth was watching him while quietly stood there. It also seemed like the overwhelming aura of Yutang's eldest prince, whose majestic sovereign outshone his royal yellow gown, overlooking the world and his territory.
”Big brother.”
