Cultivating to Become a Great Celestial Chapter 74.2

Published at 12th of August 2022 08:49:13 AM

Bai Su recalls what Ren Jia was like back then, and his eyes get hot.

Ren Jia kowtows with all his might and begs desperately, but Bai Su still doesn’t relent. In the end, the other returns the elixir bottle, and silently roasts the meat for his brother, who’s crouched down at the side and drooling while looking at the wolf corpse.

Bai Su takes in the two brothers and named them Ren Jia and Ren Yi. Because he is just a passing traveler in this nameless world, and Ren Jia and Ren Yi are just passers-by in his life as well.

Afterwards, thanks to a great amount of medicinal pills to improve his aptitude and help his cultivation, and Ren Jia himself is extremely talented, he reaches the Tribulation Transcendent stage in three hundred years. Ren Yi, with the help of a lot of medicinal pills, is finally no longer mentally disable. Though he’s usually a bit dumb, he’s definitely just like an ordinary person.

Not long after, Bai Su discovers from Ren Jia that he’s actually the younger brother.

He was born about a quarter of an hour behind. However, when they were in the womb, he absorbed more spiritual energy and nutrients, so he grew bigger. After they were born, Ren Jia would feel guilty every time their mother mentioned this matter.

Afterwards, their parents died in the mouth of a spirit beast, and he assumed the responsibility of an older brother. He was actually under the tutelage of a master, and because of his talents, he was favored by this master in the Sect, even his younger brother was brought in. However, when he wasn’t looking, others would bully his younger brother, and he grew even thinner and weaker from the abuse.

He left the sect with his younger brother and hunted spirit beasts everywhere for a living. It’s just that he secretly left, so he’s considered a traitor to the teacher’s sect. Although it was a small sect, it could not tolerate such a disciple. Therefore, Ren Jia had to avoid the Sect’s punishment. He could only travel farther and farther, to more and more remote places, and finally he arrived near this desolate Boundary Lake, and struggled to survive wandering in this wasteland.

That is until he met the Noble by fate. This is how Ren Jia described it. Ren Jia said that their Lord is their sky, and their master. He told his younger brother that their Lord should be prioritized at all times.

—

That’s why, even knowing that his older brother might be in danger, at that time, Ren Yi cries out for his Lord, and defends against the Heavenly Punishment. He rushes over and sees that his Lord is all right, and only then does he dare to ask, “Did something happen to my brother…?”

Ren Jia has always stood in front of Ren Yi to shield him from the wind and cover him from the rain.

Ren Yi doesn’t like to cultivate, he just likes to throw mystical devices. So Ren Jia would cultivate hard and give Ren Yi all the mystical devices Bai Su bestows upon him.

Ren Yi always says and does the wrong things, while Ren Jia would slam his knees kneeling towards Bai Su every time, saying that he would take punishment in Ren Yi’s stead.

After doling out punishment a few times, Bai Su feels that it was meaningless. Later, no matter what Ren Yi does wrong, he would turn a blind eye. In the end, he has gradually gotten used to it.

He has gotten used to having such a noisy, unreliable person around him.

He has also gotten used to having someone who’s always worried about his own brother and always ready to take the blame for him.

Ren Jia has done too much for Ren Yi, but when he asks Ren Yi to reciprocate, it was not to himself, but to their Lord.

Bai Su has no siblings. When his father left home, he was still in his mother’s belly. Then, because of the stigma of “colluding with outsiders”, he and his mother had a very difficult life with their relatives in the Bai family’s home. They’ve never been affectionate at all.

And when he grew up, he kept searching.

After passing through so many places, he stayed here the longest—not because of the orchid tongue grasses covering the mountains and fields while their spiritual intelligence have yet to develop, but because there are two subordinates he can accept, which makes him want to stop and rest.

Although they will eventually part ways, he thought that when it was time to leave, he would give them a great boon. And if they were brought together by fate someday, they would also meet in the true spiritual realm. But he did not expect that the separation would come so soon, and in this way.

When his father’s soul lamp went out, his mother, who spent her days in closed door training and had little contact with the outside world, hugged him, bawled, cried her heart out. At that time, he didn’t understand sadness and grief.

Because he had never seen that man before, nor had he ever felt his affection.

But now, hearing Ren Yi tell him that the pit of his stomach is cold, Bai Su suddenly feels that his own is also cold, as if cold wind has been poured into it.

“Actually, just an hour ago, I felt pain here.” Ren Yi points to his solar plexus. He looks at Gu Fengyang who’s trapped in the formation, “Was it at that time that you guys captured my bother?”

There might have been a resonance between the twins’ souls. He felt like he heard Ren Jia calling him. However, he didn’t mind it. Now, he just feels ice all over his body.

Gu Fengyang snorts coldly, “Let me out, otherwise, with my Master’s methods, none of you would be able to live or die on your own terms.” He’s trapped in the formation. Although he is overbearing on the surface, he is inwardly extremely nervous. It seems like he’s the kind of man whose greatest fear is death.

“You must know that you’re precisely in that situation.” Bai Su sneers, “Your divine soul is already imprisoned, making you a puppet. Naturally, you can’t live or die on your own terms.”

Gu Fengyang’s complexion changes, “Boy, enough with such alarmist words.”

Bai Su’s face sinks like water, “Gu Fengyang, you failed to possess Su Lijiang, and the possibility to continue and possess him is long gone. How can you enter Ren Jia’s body so easily? It is simply because his divine soul has been taken out, and his flesh has been refined into a puppet through a secret method. And you, you voluntarily become the ghost of the puppet.”

“The one you call Master can set traps and forcefully control Ren Jia’s primordial spirit to self-destruct. He can also control your every word and action, and make your primordial spirit self-destruct at any time, and even more, you can’t live as you want, you can’t die as you want.”

Bai Su rarely speaks so much. As he does now, each word has been squeezed out through his teeth, accompanied by the pressure of his divine soul, making Gu Fengyang’s heart pound faster while he’s in the formation.
