Upgrade Specialist in Another World-Chapter 1330: A Powerful Intruder!
Another half-month passed before Bai Yunfei finally left the Soulbeast Forest.
Every goal Bai Yunfei had in the past month and a half was finally accomplished. The Fate School was finally able to obtain every single ingredient needed to make the pills necessary for Zi Jin and Ge Yiyun’s treatment. In fact, the elder of the Yao clan, Yao Tianji, was the one to personally oversee the process.
Under the miraculous effects of the pill, Zi Jin and Ge Yiyun were both able to make a full recovery and also become even stronger than before. Zi Jin was able to recover the lost strength he had to become a Soul Emperor once again. The only difference was that his power had spiked to the levels of a Late-stage Soul Emperor!
It would be very possible that the Crafting School would gain yet another Saint in the near future.
Originally, the Fate School planned on having the Soulbeast Forest be their new school grounds, but those plans changed when Bai Yunfei and Xiao Qi became Saints. After a lengthy discussion, the school changed their minds and decided to remain in the Core World. Until Bai Yunfei returned to the empire, they would remain there and find a more suitable place to relocate to.
Isolated from the outside world for a millennium, the Fate School had no intention of fully cutting themselves off by living in a completely different dimension. Their lives were still very much ingrained in the secular world than the Core World.
They had Bai Yunfei there to help them relocate. With a powerful ally like him and the declining strength of their enemies, the Fate School was assured of their stability and the fact that no one would be coming to disturb them in the future.
……
Once everyone was situated in the Core World, Bai Yunfei began his journey back to the empire. His flight speed was relatively paced so that Tang Xinyun and the others could occasionally travel with him. He wasn’t in much of a rush so it took several days before he reached the edge of the Soulbeast Forest and then another half day before he was back at Praestia Pass.
The environment felt nostalgic to Bai Yunfei. He could remember when he first came to the Soulbeast Forest. It was this exact path that he walked. He had only been a weak Soul Ancestor at the time, but now he was one of the world’s few Saints.
“Let’s rest for the night here…”
Bai Yunfei decided before coming to a stop by a small hill. It was time for him to enter the Core World. He disappeared from the world, allowing the Core Stone to drop into the fauna below. There was no longer any need for someone to stand guard outside. Now that he was a Saint, Bai Yunfei was able to perceive the outside world from within as if he was outside.
The usage of the Core Stone trivialized traveling for Bai Yunfei. He never felt ‘travel-weary’ anymore since heading into the Core World and back to the Crafting School was basically the same as going back home.
He made sure to say hello to a few individuals before returning to the courtyard the Crafting School allocated for him. It was a ‘happy little nest’ for him and Tang Xinyun to reside in.
“Welcome home, Yunfei!”
A joyful Tang Xinyun stood at the front of the gates to welcome him in. The sight of her coming out to greet him felt almost like a beautifully drawn picture.
A fire sparked to life inside of Bai Yunfei. Mischievously, he spread his arms out wide to greet her in return, “I’m home! Come hug your husband.”
Tang Xinyun blushed, “Ah, how indecent…”
But she relented. Striding into his arms, Tang Xinyun allowed herself to be buried against his chest with a blissful smile on her lips.
The two remained there for a moment to soak before walking side by side back into the courtyard. “Let’s have a nice meal.” Bai Yunfei smiled, “It’s getting late and I’d like to turn in to bed earlier tonight, haha…”
The blush on Tang Xinyun’s face grew even more pronounced after that.
Bai Yunfei was actually brooding over the fact that Li Chengfeng had a third child, the most recently born one being named Li Ruoxuan. The two embarked on their ‘journeys’ at the same time and yet only one of them had successfully sired children—three in fact!
So that left Bai Yunfei with the burning desire to ‘sire’ a child of his own and allow him and Tang Xinyun to experience what it was like to be a parent…
……
Bai Yunfei had only just finished his meal and Tang Xinyun began doing the dishes when the silence in the Core World began to shatter…
“Bzz…”
It came without warning. A rumble ran through the entire world and beneath everyone’s feet as if the world was coming to an end.
Alarmed, Bai Yunfei disappeared from his courtyard to appear high up in the skies near the epicenter.
He first looked down at the quaking ground beneath him before then looking back to the skies. Over there was a black fissure that was slowly increasing in size!
—It looked as if someone was trying to force their way into the Core World!
“Whoosh! Whoosh!!”
Two figures shot to Bai Yunfei’s side at once; Shen Pojun and Xiao Qi. “What is happening, Yunfei?” Shen Pojun asked.
“Someone’s coming!”
In the next moment, three figures shot through the fissure to enter the Core World!
They somehow managed to force their way in!!
“Shangguan Xiongyan!!”
Shen Pojun shouted in surprise—two of the three men that came in were Shangguan Xiongyan and the Abyssal Snake Saint, but he didn’t recognize the blood-colored robed individual.
“That’s definitely the Soul Seeker’s Mirror!!”
Bai Yunfei’s eyes landed on a small copper mirror in Shangguan Xiongyan’s hand the moment after he got passed the shock of there being enemies in this place. It was just as he expected! The reason why his enemies were able to track him down so easily was because of one of the Ten Great Regalias, the Soul Seeker’s Mirror!!
The aim of the Regalia was eponymous. As long as one registered the soul signature of another, they’d be able to seek out that person from anywhere in the world, even if they were in a different dimension!
The Regalia hadn’t been seen in public eyes for nearly a thousand years until now. It was known to those knowledgeable that the Soul Seeker’s Mirror was capable of only tracking down two soul signatures at most. Thinking about it, Bai Yunfei realized the mirror had to have registered his, Shen Pojun, or the Frostfeather Saint’s aura during the battle of the Fate School. That was the only explanation of how they could’ve been tracked in the Saint’s abode and here!
It had been a carefully executed plan since the battle of the Fate School!
And somehow, the invaders were able to force open the Core World! That wasn’t something an Early-stage Soul Saint should be able to do!
Something else was at play here, and that worried Bai Yunfei. Anxiously, he eyed the three in hopes of being able to think of a plan.
He didn’t fear Shangguan Xiongyan nor the Abyssal Snake Saint, but that crimson-robed elder was a different story. There was a dangerous aura to his person that made Bai Yunfei cautious. Where in the world did they manage to bring out such a powerful ally in such a short amount of time!?
While Bai Yunfei didn’t know who this elder was, Shen Pojun did. His two hundred and so years of living gave him a wide breadth of knowledge that allowed him to realize who he was. Terrified, Shen Pojun let out a cry of fear!
“That’s…the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord!!”
