Celestial 'War God' Return-Chapter 344: Lower King Realm

After they waited for quite a while, Mu Qingge, Xing Xing, and Tang Yin felt a massive fluctuation in Tang Xiao’s body, followed by his qi erupting. Soon, a red and white aura suddenly enveloped his body, and two blurry silhouettes emerged behind him.

Unlike Tang Yin, Mu Qingge and Xing Xing had seen both silhouettes when Tang Xiao broke through to the Xiantian Realm a few months ago.

One silhouette was of Tang Xiao, who was wearing red armor with various kinds of weapons behind his back, which came from his war god physique. As for his other silhouette, he was sitting in a white cloud, which came from his celestial physique.

"Have you two seen those two silhouettes before?"

Mu Qingge nodded to Tang Yin. "We saw these two when he broke through to the Xiantian Level the first time, Yin’er. The red one came from his war god physique, and the white one came from his celestial physique."

"Actually, there was still one more figure we met at that time, Big Sis Yin." Tang Yin looked at Xing Xing. "Please be patient; I’m sure the third figure will come out soon."

"Let’s wait then."

After the two silhouettes became clear, they emitted auras that contradicted each other. The war god Tang Xiao emitted an aura filled with extreme bloodlust and intense killing intent, while the celestial Tang Xiao emitted an aura filled with both sacredness and extraordinary calmness.

A few moments later, Old Tang Xiao appeared between the two silhouettes, which shocked Tang Yin.

Just like Tang Yin, Old Tang Xiao was also surprised by her presence, but he immediately smiled as he looked at her with longing. "Big Sis Yin."

"You." Tang Yin was even more shocked to hear Old Tang Xiao addressed her as his big sister. "You are—"

"No need to say anything, and keep everything to yourself." Tang Yin nodded slightly as she had already realized everything, including the identity of Old Tang Xiao. "I didn’t expect you to be here, but I’m glad that you’re still alive, and your cultivation has improved quite a bit."

"Were you the one who saved me that night?" Old Tang Xiao smiled in response to Tang Yin’s question. "Why did you seal my subconscious back then?"

Old Tang Xiao shook his head. "I can’t say much because it will affect the future to such an extent, but you should already know the answer, right?"

"If I wake up, those people will come after me again. You already know I am the owner of the darkness element, and you did that to make me stronger."

"You’re wrong about the second one, Big Sis." Tang Yin was confused by that. "My big sister died before I became a cultivator, so I never knew about your future. I won’t talk much about it because it’s pointless, and you’re still alive now, so your future lies in your hands."

Tang Yin sighed and asked him another question. "What will happen in the future? You decided to return to the past for some reason, but you changed some things in the past, and I’m sure your actions will impact the future."

"You’re right." Old Tang Xiao nodded. "Originally, I returned to the past to help my younger self become a cultivator faster, but I didn’t expect that the past had already changed as soon as I arrived in this era."

"How did it happen?"

"I’ve tried analyzing everything, but I couldn’t find the answer. Maybe all of this is the will of fate, and it changed everything because of my actions."

Old Tang Xiao looked at Tang Xiao. "He’s almost finished his breakthrough, so it’s time for us to part, and he will gradually inherit the memories I’ve stored in this tiny bit of my soul."

"But-"

"No more questions, okay? The future has changed, and I don’t want my actions to change it further." Tang Yin was disappointed with that. "As I said before, your future lies in your hands. You already have the strength to pursue a better future, but it’s still not enough. You must continue to increase your strength so you can face all the dangers and obstacles that will stand in your way in the future."

"Alright."

Old Tang Xiao smiled. "Please take care of Xiao Ai for me, okay? Even though she’s an AI and an android, she’s like my own daughter, and she’ll help you two face any dangers in the future."

"I will." Tang Yin seriously nodded.

"My time is up, and I will meet him before I disappear." After he said that, Old Tang Xiao disappeared from their sight, and the two silhouettes slowly became clearer and clearer with two eyes shining brightly—bloody red and white.

After a few minutes, the three women saw a third figure appear before their eyes, but he was as small as a newborn baby.

"That is Tang Xiao’s cultivation soul."

"Why is his cultivation soul like a newborn baby, Sister Qingge?" Xing Xing asked in confusion.

Mu Qingge turned to her and explained, "Xing’er, did you grow up immediately when you were born? Our cultivation soul is also like that, and it requires a lot of nutrition to grow up."

"Nutrition?"

"Herbs, pills, and many other things." Xing Xng nodded in understanding. "However, I don’t have much information about soul cultivation, but Xiao Ai should know more about it, so we should ask her for details."

"I’ll go see Xiao Ai first." Tang Yin immediately left the room and went to the main control room.

Although Tang Yin didn’t say anything to them, Mu Qingge and Xing Xing understood her thoughts and worries. If Old Tang Xiao hadn’t intervened in the incident that night seven years ago, she would have died when she jumped from the third floor of the building.

When Tang Xiao opened his eyes, he found himself in a place he had never seen before.

"This place is your soul space."

Tang Xiao suddenly looked back, and his eyes widened in shock upon seeing his older self. "How could this happen? Are you really me?"

"I am."

"Does that mean you are Xiao Ai’s old master?"

"Haha," Old Tang Xiao laughed. "Why must you ask a question you should already know the answer to? I am your future, and you are my past, so we are both her masters."

"No wonder Xiao Ai has never been willing to tell me about you, and you deliberately withheld all information about you." Tang Xiao felt strange talking to his older self, especially since he came from the future. "What exactly is your purpose in returning to the past?"

"Xiao Ai should have told you about the future danger, right?"

"Xiao Ai has already told me about it, but she hasn’t explained everything clearly."

Old Tang Xiao nodded slightly. "In my era, the danger was born on one of the realms in the upper realm, but I never realized it before that man showed his evil behavior. By the time I became aware of the situation, he had already grown stronger. I tried to hunt him down at that time, and I managed to find him, but I couldn’t bear to kill him."

"A man."

"I won’t tell you about him now, but I’ve kept everything in my memories that I’ve sealed inside your soul. When you go to that realm and meet him, my memories will detect his presence, and you will know his identity then."

"Which realm?"

"The Myriad Heaven Realm." Old Tang Xiao immediately warned him. "I forbid you from going to that realm before your cultivation passes the Saint Realm, or you will die there, and all the risks I took will be in vain."

"I know." Tang Xiao wasn’t so crazy as to go to a realm in the upper realm now, where many cultivators far beyond his reach lived. "Do you think I made the right choice by bringing them to the Canglan Realm?"

"The Canglan Realm, huh? I don’t remember anything about that realm, so I can’t tell you whether your decision was right or not. At least, your decision is much better than continuing to stay on Earth, and you can become stronger faster by going there."

"I want to go to that realm to become stronger faster." Tang Xiao clenched his fist. "When my cultivation reaches the Peak Saint Realm, I’ll return to Earth to settle accounts with Long Yin and Wang Fuxi, and I’ll make them pay for my parents’ deaths."

Old Tang Xiao chose not to comment on that. "I have one request for you, and I hope you will fulfill it."

"Tell me."

"I want you to go to the Frozen Cloud Abyss in the future, and I want you to save Xue Lingyue, who is frozen there." Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow. "She was my master, and she was trapped there because of the actions of her sect sister. Back then, I found her accidentally, and I became her disciple after I freed her from there. The present has changed a lot because of my actions, and the future will probably continue to change because of it, so I hope you can fulfill my request."

"I will definitely go to that realm in the future," Tang Xiao decided without hesitation, as Xue Lingyue was connected to many things. "Are you going to disappear now?"

"Back then, I couldn’t stop that man, and all the powerful cultivators of my era died because of my mistake, which led me to decide to return to the past. I hope you won’t repeat my mistake, and you must kill him when you encounter him so your future won’t be as bleak as mine." Old Tang Xiao sighed. "I think this is our goodbye, and I hope you will be much better than me in the future."

"I will."
