Overriding the Heaven

Hiding behind the screen, he dried his body and changed into a clean white dress. Xiao Pei touched his face that was burning hot, and smiled at Chu Yan, then ran out of the room.    

    

When she returned, she was holding a tray.    

    

Xiao Pei didn't know what Chu Yan wanted, but when she saw that there was only a single plate, his gaze focused.    

    

In that split-second, the killing intent that came out from the mass of soldiers and horses caused the air in the room to freeze.    

    

Xiao Pei's body could not help but tremble.    

    

She was only instinctively afraid of this aura, not Chu Yan.    

    

This was because she believed that her Royal Highness would absolutely not harm her.    

    

"Just leave it there. We'll rest early tonight. Tomorrow morning, we will set out." Sensing Xiao Pei's discomfort, Chu Yan released her Qi and waved her hand to the other side.    

    

"Your Highness does not need Xiao Pei — —" Xiao Pei bit her lips, and when she spoke, her face was as red as a burning flame.    

    

Seeing Chu Yan staring at him, Xiao Pei immediately giggled and ran out. When he closed the door for Chu Yan, he did not forget to make a face at him.    

    

After saying that, he quickly closed the door and ran to the room next door. He climbed onto the bed and curled up into a ball under the blanket.    

    

Feeling his face burning hot and his head a little dizzy, Xiao Pei couldn't help but wrap his arms around his knees and think blankly: "Your Highness is completely different from the other princes. When those princes were only twelve or thirteen years old, they were already concubines and had several children. "Heh —"    

    

"Speaking of which, Your Highness' embrace is so warm …" "Why is my head so dizzy and my body so hot? I shouldn't be able to catch a chill, right …"    

    

In a daze, the young girl fell asleep.    

    

At the same time, in the next room, Chu Yan frowned as he looked at the two items on the tray.    

    

An indescribably biting cold aura was currently occupying the room.    

    

Before, he made three requests. Firstly, he wanted to take back his mother's remnants, secondly, he wanted to take back the maid Xiao Pei, and thirdly, he wanted to take back his own sharp weapon from when he fought on the battlefield all those years ago — — Dragon-Breaking Spear.    

    

What was on the tray now were his mother's things and his Dragon-Breaking Spear.    

    

However, there was only one item left behind by his mother, a seemingly inconspicuous earring, while Chu Yan's Dragon-Breaking Spear only had the tip of the spear. The place that was connected to the spear seemed to have been cut off by some sort of sharp weapon.    

    

After staring at it for a long time, Chu Yan laughed, "Bullying me right now means that you have lost all of your abilities. But just you wait, this is something that belongs to me, I will do the same and take it back from you guys."    

    

Picking up the unremarkable looking earring from the tray, Chu Yan's fingertips gently caressed it, causing a faint warmth to surface in his heart.    

    

When her mother was still alive, she would often tell herself that this earring was her most important treasure.    

    

At that time, Chu Yan was still very strange, because his mother was the Emperor's favorite concubine.    

    

Compared to those rare treasures, this earring could be said to be like a piece of scrap metal.    

    

Every time Chu Yan asked this question, his mother would smile and not answer. She would only tell Chu Yan that there would be a day when he would need to use it, and his mother would naturally understand.    

    

"When to use it." After pondering for a moment, Chu Yan moved the earring closer to his ear and used the sharp end to prick his ear.    

    

The pain he had anticipated did not appear, nor did he feel any discomfort.    

    

Chu Yan was immediately puzzled. Although his realm had dropped from his original Stage Four of the Genuine Force to become that of an ordinary person, his body's condition couldn't possibly be such that he couldn't even feel this little bit of pain.    

    

Just when Chu Yan felt that something was strange, he did not see that the wound on his ear that was bleeding slightly had been slowly absorbed by the bronze earring.    

    

On the surface of this earring, there was a strange purple glow.    

    

"What's going on!" Immediately, Chu Yan saw the unusual change through the reflection of the water surface in the barrel.    

    

But before he could even react, Chu Yan felt a strong force grab his body and ruthlessly pull him away with a loud bang.    

    

In that instant, the sky and earth spun, and countless rays of light flashed in front of his eyes. The light was strange, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.    

    

When Chu Yan came back to his senses, he was surprised to find that he had already arrived in a world of chaos.    

    

Right in front of him was a tall and majestic pagoda that stood tall and upright on the spot.    

    

This tower had existed for countless years, and even though its surface was dilapidated and mottled, an ancient and boundless aura forced its way into Chu Yan's face, causing his heart to palpitate.    

    

"Is this the earring that brought me here?" After all, they were people who had seen great scenes before. Furthermore, the experiences from before also let Chu Yan know that there existed immortals in this world.    

    

He had heard that the techniques of immortals could open up the void and create heavenly paradises among the particles.    

    

"Could it be that the earring my mother left me was a magical item used by the Immortal?"    

    

Chu Yan became more doubtful.    

    

The mother in his memory was gentle and noble. She was a goddess that everyone admired, but she didn't seem to display any shocking abilities.    

    

Moreover, if his mother was an immortal, how could she have died?    

    

Shaking his head, he tossed all these thoughts aside. Chu Yan headed towards the tower, since he was already here, he naturally had to see everything clearly.    

    

Arriving at the front of the tower, Chu Yan realized that there were a few words written on the wall beside the old and old entrance.    

    

Slightly sweeping with it, Chu Yan's body immediately trembled.    

    

That gentle writing was extremely similar to the one his mother had written in his memories!    

    

He didn't care whether there was danger or not as he walked closer to check it out.    

    

"Chu Yan, my son!"    

    

These four words, in an instant, made Chu Yan's nose sour.    

    

A year ago, when he was slandered for murdering his father and usurping his power, he didn't cry.    

    

After being pointed at by so many men, the reputation accumulated over the years instantly fell to the bottom. He didn't cry.    

    

He possessed a terrifying cultivation, and was known as the most talented cultivator since the founding of the Southern Yuan Kingdom. When he was poisoned and turned into a mortal, he didn't cry either.    

    

When he was imprisoned in the infamous Abyss Demon Prison, his eyes hadn't even turned red.    

    

Because Chu Yan had always believed that the thing he had lost, would definitely come back to him the same way.    

    

But at this time, seeing that it was clearly his mother's message, Chu Yan's nose started to sour, and his eyes became hot. He was already dead, and his mother's warm embrace would never return.    

    

Her mother's feminine yet indomitable character appeared in front of his eyes, as if she had personally came to visit him, as her soft and gentle voice spoke to Chu Yan.    

    

After taking a deep breath, his blurry eyes became clear once more. Chu Yan looked at the words written on the wall carefully.    

    

He had a premonition that this Immortal's methods must be related to his mother, and that his mother's special purpose in leaving these words for him was also to help him.
