Return of the Mythic Bloodline-Chapter 329: Begin the departure!

After ascending to the Transcendent Realm, I spent the next two days in meditation, absorbing the Primordial Yin Essence of Ume.

After the absorption, the roots of my Tree of Divinity grew thicker, and its golden bark began to shimmer with a bright, ethereal glow. I could sense that most of its impurities had been removed and that some of its vitality had returned to its former glory.

Although the Tree of Divinity had been reborn within my inner world, its vitality remained extremely weak due to the critical injuries it had once suffered. Its sluggish growth, even after consuming such a vast amount of my Soulforce, was enough proof of how much vitality it had lost. But now, Ume’s Primordial Yin Essence had increased its vitality by leaps and bounds.

"They must have prepared by now," I murmured, rising to my feet inside my room within the castle.

While I was in closed-door cultivation, Ume had also been meditating in her room, claiming that she wanted to absorb some unexpected gains she had received. She remained adamant about not revealing what those gains were, but from her flushed face, I already had an idea.

Even though I didn’t look like one, I was also a god born with divinity, so just like me, she must have also received my Primordial Yang Essence. It would be beneficial for her, especially since she must have destroyed her Tree of Divinity when she sacrificed her tails to gain temporary power. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"How is the preparation?" I asked Vyaghra, who, along with Jambavan, was guiding the workers as they filled the carriages lined up at the gate. There were fifty carriages in total, each pulled by two horses, and every single one was filled with nothing but space rings.

"Almost complete," Vyaghra replied. "We have mined every last available Soul Stone from all four cities. The front thirty carriages are filled with space rings containing low-tier Soul Stones. The nineteen in the middle contain space rings filled with mid-tier Soul Stones, and in the last carriage, the three mortal prisoners are kept."

"What about the High-Tier Soul Stones?" I asked.

"It was too risky to store such an important treasure in the carriages, so we kept the space rings containing the High-Tier crystals," Vyaghra replied, extending his hand. All eight of his fingers were filled with space rings.

Similarly, Jambavan also had space rings on every finger.

"Kid, this much wealth is enough to feed an entire continent for thousands of years," Jambavan said, shock lacing his voice. "How do ya plan on usin’ these crystals?"

"Isn’t it obvious? We will keep more than enough Soul Stone crystals for our realm ascension and exchange the remaining ones to obtain otherwise unattainable treasures," I replied with a shrug.

"Haha! Yer sure sharp!" Jambavan laughed, handing me a pouch. "This contains the remainin’ High-Tier Soul Stones. Both Vyaghra and Ay already have our hands full. Ya need to take care of the rest of these."

The pouch contained twenty space rings, each filled to the brim with High-Tier Soul Stones.

With one smooth motion, I opened my inventory and transferred all the Soul Stones from the rings into it. Unlike them, I had no intention of walking around with all my fingers filled with space rings.

"Isn’t that convenient?" Jambavan muttered as he watched me empty the rings with a simple wave of my hand.

Once the carriages were settled, the infiltration unit positioned themselves around them, ensuring protection from every direction.

Meanwhile, Vyrion and his subordinates were standing beside a carriage that was positioned separately from the rest.

"Have you already scammed enough to warrant an entire carriage just to store your belongings?" I asked as I approached the group.

"S-Sir Morningstar!" The squad greeted as soon as they noticed me.

"Y-you misunderstand, Sir," Vyrion spoke, his usual playful smirk missing from his face. "The carriage does not contain our belongings. Our fifth teammate is resting inside."

"Fifth teammate? You mean Su Yan?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

The squad flinched when I casually mentioned their teammate’s name.

"Y-you remember her name even though I only mentioned it once?" Vyrion gasped in shock, though he soon regained his composure after briefly glancing at me, as if convincing himself that remembering a teammate’s name was the least surprising thing I had done.

I turned my gaze toward the carriage and murmured, my golden eyes narrowing, "Your teammate is ill."

"H-how did you know that!?" Vyrion asked, his entire group staring at me with widened eyes.

"I can sense the entangled cluster of Soulforce inside the carriage," I replied. "She must be suffering from Soulforce deviation."

"Y-you are indeed correct, Sir Morningstar," Vyrion murmured in a low voice.

After a brief pause, he asked in a slightly louder tone, "Sir, may you cure her?"

"Cure Soulforce deviation?" I murmured, rubbing my chin.

"Unfortunately, I do not possess a method to cure Soulforce deviation," I replied. "However, I do know someone who does."

The moment those words left my mouth, Vyrion’s entire squad immediately bowed before me and pleaded, "Sir, please help us cure her! We will forever be in your debt!"

Releasing a sigh, I replied, "Take care of her. The journey ahead will be difficult."

"Th-thank you so much, Sir!" the squad shouted, their voices cracking from gratitude.

When I turned around, Ume had also arrived, standing beside Vyaghra and Jambavan.

A playful smile curved across my face as I stepped closer to her and whispered into her ear, "So, have you absorbed my essence diligently?"

"Wh-what essence!?" Ume muttered, her voice low as her face bloomed crimson. "I-I was only meditating to stabilize my Soulforce!"

"Oh? Is that so? So you are saying you did not receive my Primordial Yang Essence?" A smirk formed on my lips as I continued in a low, seductive tone. "This will not do. We should do it again so I can properly give my essence to you."

Her eyes trembled with embarrassment as she stuttered, her face burning red. "I-I received it! I received it, so stop teasing me! Everyone is watching!"

"Haha, isn’t it easy to be honest?" I laughed, stepping back.

"I hate you, meany!" she snapped, shutting her eyes tightly before vanishing from her spot in a swirl of blossoms.

"Adorable," I murmured before turning my attention toward my army, which awaited my command.

I climbed onto the roof of one of the middle carriages and announced in a loud voice, "Begin the departure!"
