<strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios
After hearing Mei Xue Yan’s words, Jun Mo Xie’s eyes shed and he instantly decided: to lie!
Yes, lie...
He would fabricate a well-intentioned lie after telling his mother everything... He would say that he came into the tutge of a powerful saint, and learned numerous powerful techniques. However, his current cultivation was too shallow, and was not enough to go against the heavens and raise a person from the dead. However, he would forge ahead vigorously to increase his strength and revive Father! This way, his poor mother would have a strand of beautiful hope, and so continue to live on strongly...
Although this was a huge lie, but, it was much better than losing hopepletely... Although he was lying, this deceit, how much love must he have to bear to utter it... Although it was a lie, it was a sincere gesture from a son to his mother!
As long as there was hope, the future would not be dark anymore!
As for the matters of the future...
He would think about it in the future, but for now, he would take things one step at a time...
If she continued on like this, she might rpse into her deep depression again... The matters of the future... who can say for certain what would happen?
Outside the door, Dongfang Wen Xin carried a bowl of bird’s nest in her hand and walked in. Seeing Jun Mo Xie half lying on the pillow and staring nkly at the wall, she chided lightly, “You little brat, your injuries are still not healed, what are you moving around for? Quick, lie down properly; what were you thinking of that caused you to be so entranced?”
Jun Mo Xie smiled, not replying immediately. Instead, he looked seriously at Dongfang Wen Xin in the eye and furrowed his brows slightly, “Mother... I want to tell you something, can you... believe me? It might sound a little ludicrous, but, I hope that you can believe me!”
“Believe! Whatever my son says, I will believe it! No matter how ludicrous it is, I will choose to believe it!” Dongfang Wen Xin smiled warmly and said as she scooped a spoonful of bird’s nest porridge, blew on it lightly, and tested the temperature with her own tongue before bringing it to her son’s mouth. “Come... open your mouth, eat more, and recover quickly, it’s not hot at all... ah...”
Jun Mo Xie smiled bitterly as he looked at his mother taking care of him like a three year old child... But that kind of feeling, was strangely, not awkward at all; instead, it felt intoxicating... really intoxicating...
“Mother, I’ll show you something nice first, watch carefully.” Jun Mo Xie swallowed the spoonful of porridge and excitedly stretched out his right hand. A small seed sat in the middle of his palm.
“Isn’t that a flower seed? What’s nice to see about it, could it be a rare seed?” Dongfang Wen Xin smiled and narrowed her eyes.
“It’s just a very normal flower seed, but watch carefully...” Jun Mo Xie smiled mysteriously as he quickly urged the power of wood in his body.
Following that, an extremely amazing transformation happened, causing Dongfang Wen Xin to open her mouth wide with shock, almost dropping the delicate bowl of porridge in her hand...
The ck colored little seed in Jun Mo Xie’s palm writhed and green roots grew out from it. Following that, thin shoots slowly extended, almost as if they were being tugged at by the wind, rapidly growing with a speed visible to the naked eye. Stalk, roots, branches, leaves... slowly, it grew into a three <i>chi </i>tall flower nt. Its stalk was only as thick as a thumb...
The miracle had yet to conclude, and the transformation was not yet finished; a bud grew out of the top of the nt, and slowly expanded to a pink flower, slowly growing... and blossoming...
In the time it took for a pot of tea to boil, nine resplendent roses appeared in Jun Mo Xie’s hand, filling the room with the sweet fragrance of roses!
“This... this, this... what’s going on? Is it a magic trick?” Dongfang Wen Xin’s mouth were wide open and her eyes grew round like a little child at a carnival. Seeing the fully grown rose nt sitting in her son’s hand, her tongue was tied with shock...
“Magic tricks are just that—tricks done with props, but this is a real flower, Mother! Smell it; is it fragrant?” Jun Mo Xie smiled proudly and offered the flowers to his mother. In that moment, he was like a little kid who’d found a toy and wanted to show it off to his mother...
“This... is it real? But how is it possible?” Dongfang Wen Xin was extremely shocked, and she finally could not bear it as she reached her hand out, touched the roses, raised them to her nose, and sniffed it. She could clearly smell that these flowers were definitely real...
In her agitation, she used a bit too much strength on her hand, with a light <i>ah </i>! Her finger had been pricked by the rose’s thorn, causing a drop of blood to flow out... <i>So it seems that... this was not a dream!</i>
<i>It really wasn’t a dream?</i>
A miracle like this, was actually real; a miracle like this, had actually taken ce in front of her eyes!
“Mother, this is not an illusion, or a parlour trick, it’s real divine magic! When I saved mother before, and restored the vitality of those dying trees, it was also with this power!”
Jun Mo Xie looked seriously at Dongfang Wen Xin. “The power of this magic is not limited to just this; my current cultivation is still too shallow, but there are greater miracles for this power, and when I’ve trained it to a certain level, it’s even possible to move the mountains and fill the oceans, grab the stars out of the skies, wither an entire forest in an instant, or turn a deste dessert into a vibrant jungle with a single thought... Of course, it could also restore a person from deathly illnesses, or even raise a normal person’s cultivation to the Supreme realm in an instant...”
He looked steadily at Dongfang Wen Xin, and uttered each word clearly. “At the highest level, it’ll be a simple matter to create bodies of flesh and blood; if I can connect to the spirit world, it’s possible to even... bring the dead back to life!!”
Dongfang Wen Xin’s mind went nk the moment she heard those words; she felt a wave of giddiness smash into her head as her body swayed twice, and the intricate porcin bowl in her hand slipped out of her rxed grip. With a loud<i>PA! </i>sound, the bowl ttered loudly onto the ground; the sound was so incredibly crisp and loud, as though it was striking a resonance with the impact on her heart...
Following that, Dongfang Wen Xin’s body tottered and she copsed weakly...
On the side, Mei Xue Yan hurriedly stretched her hand out and caught her.
In just a moment, Dongfang Wen Xin began to wake. The moment she woke up, she reached for the roses before her, caressing them anxiously, as if she’d gone mad. Although she was pricked continuously by the thorns, it was as if she could not feel the pain at all. There was only a fascinated look on her face and tears ran down her cheeks. It was as if the thing in her hand was not a bunch of flowers, but... a dream!
A dream she could touch with her hands!
With Dongfang Wen Xin’s intelligence, how could she not understand the meaning behind Jun Mo Xie’s words? She did not dare to believe it, but the miracle was right in front of her eyes!
In a few short seconds, an ordinary seed sprouted and bloomed...
The miraculous life-giving magic had appeared before her eyes; for such an amazing magic, was there a task too difficult for it?
Her son had also said earlier that his current cultivation was too shallow and his mastery of the technique was too weak, but even such a low level of skill was enough to create such a miracle! If it really reached a higher and more profound realm... what would happen?
At this time, a sh of green light burst through the room. The strange little tree that was originally on Dongfang Wen Xin’s chest had been ced onto a piece of jade ever since she’d woken up, but at this time, it felt Jun Mo Xie’s release of the power of wood, and suddenly grew restless. It flew through the air, arriving before Jun Mo Xie and floating around his body in an anxious manner.
Jun Mo Xie stretched out his hand and allowed the tree tond on his palm. With a move of his will, the Hongjun Pagoda suddenly opened and with a <i>sou</i>sound, the little tree disappeared into his palm...
Dongfang Wen Xin widened her eyes with shock again; this tree was no stranger to her at all! Although the old madam had only brought the tree to her after she’d sunk into unconsciousness, the tree had apanied her for almost 10 years. It was an important figure in her dreams throughout all those years. It was only because of this little tree that she’d managed to hang on for 10 years!
This little tree that had exhausted its essence energy had been revived because of her son, and now, it had willingly flown to his side. This son of hers truly had too many miraculous secrets on him...
Or perhaps, anything was possible when it came to him!
Jun Mo Xie could clearly feel that after the little tree entered the Hongjun Pagoda, it seemed to have been led by something as it flew directly to the first level. There, Jun Mo Xie had originally kept the two pieces of Soul Replenishing Jade that he had obtained from the Xiao Family. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the two Soul Replenishing Jades burst apart; the little tree flew in between the two pieces andnded slowly. The two pieces of Soul Replenishing Jade nestled perfectly beside the little tree, with it in the center. In that moment, three became one, turning into a single, inseparable body...
Numerous roots extended from the little tree and wrapped around the two pieces of Soul Replenishing Jade.
This proceeding had greatly exceeded Jun Mo Xie’s calctions, and no matter how hard he tried, he actually couldn’t take them apart! This little tree had ran off in of its own ord, and taken up residence in his Hongjun Pagoda... And now, he actually couldn’t chase it out!
This was the first time that Jun Mo Xie had encountered such a ridiculous matter... In that moment, he didn’t know whether he should beughing or crying; what should he do now? This was something that grandma had nearly bankrupted the family to obtain. Now, just like that, he’d taken the entire thing away without any idea of what happened?
At this time, Dongfang Wen Xin had also recovered her state of mind. However, her heart was still extremely agitated. Her mouth was raised in a sweet smile, and her eyes glistened with tears as she looked at her son happily. “Mo Xie... son, you... what did you say? What... were you trying to say?”
The intelligent Dongfang Wen Xin had already understood her son’s intentions long ago, but she still wanted to hear the exact words from his mouth!
“I said... with time, I might be able to bring Father back to life!” Jun Mo Xie said seriously, putting emphasis on every word. “However, I need time! I may need quite a lot of time!”
Hesitating a bit, his brows furrowed deeply as he took a deep breath and continued, “Even... my two elder brothers... can be revived as well!”
Dongfang Wen Xin’s body shuddered heavily, and her voice cracked. “Can also be revived... can also be revived...” Tears poured out of her eyes and she sat down weakly. “So my ominous feeling was real, it’s not just Wu Hui, even... Mo You... Mo Chou... My children... they... what happened? What exactly happened!”
Her heart suddenly constricted with pain, and she grabbed her face with her two hands. “In the years that I was gone... what happened? Just what happened ah, why is it that even...”
“Mother... there’s no need to be overly sad!” Jun Mo Xie hardened his expression and said. “I’ve said it just now... I can do it; I must do it! I can bring them all back to life...”
He sighed heavily and continued, “But... the most important thing is still you, Mother! You must hang on at all cost! I can help you retain your youth forever... but your heart and mind, you must keep them well... Mother, surely you don’t wish to that when Father and my two elder brothers return, they’ll find you in an old and depressed state with wrinkles and sparse hair, right? Or... because of being too depressed, Mother bes like a fragrance diminished and jade perished, passing away in deep sadness... if that happens... everything that this son is doing will bepletely meaningless... At the end of the day, this is a magic that goes against the heavens, and it has its own limits ah... three, that’s already the limit...”
