The Abandoned Young Master of a Wealthy Cultivation Family

Chapter 5077 Bronze Blood Curse

Chapter 5077 Bronze Blood Curse

"That's good." Ye Shenfei put down her chopsticks and said softly, "There are countless paths to the Great Dao, but they all lead to the same destination. Being able to hone mortal skills to such a level is also a form of cultivation. Only by staying true to your original aspiration can you achieve your goal."

Luo Yunsheng also stared at Su Bai with a curious yet somewhat admiring gaze. She chuckled softly, "I didn't expect Junior Brother to have such abilities. You're truly a hidden talent. Perhaps you could tutor your Senior Sister another day? I promise I'll learn diligently this time!"

Su Bai chuckled and said, "It's just some mediocre skill, not enough to be your teacher, Senior Sister. Just don't blow up the kitchen again, Senior Sister."

At dinner, the four of them sat together, chatting and laughing, talking about interesting things in the cultivation world and their future plans.

Even the usually taciturn, aloof, and dignified Ye Shenfei let down her guard at this moment, becoming more talkative, and even occasionally amused by Feng Shenye's amusing anecdotes.

This warm and peaceful scene stirred up Su Bai's emotions, bringing a surge of warmth to his heart and a touch of homesickness.

He thought of his many relatives and friends in the chaotic universe, of Zuoqiu Yiren, of Xia Qianyu, and of those comrades who had fought side by side with him.

"I wonder how they are doing now..."

"Perhaps it's time to go back."

Su Bai thought to himself.

When he first left, he promised Zuoqiu Yiren and the others that he would return every million years to prove that he was still alive and had not perished. Considering the time elapsed, it might only be a fleeting moment for him at his current level, but for them, it could have been a very long time.

When he left, he left behind a clone with some of his memories and fighting power, along with his family, to accompany him and protect the chaotic universe.

However, that clone was, after all, just a clone, and its connection with the original body was limited by the distance in space and time, making it difficult to maintain a stable state for a long time.

Therefore, Su Bai only set up a special restriction at that time. Only when the clone felt an overwhelming threat that it could not resist, or when the chaotic universe was facing annihilation, would the main body cross endless time and space to generate a sense.

The night was deep, and the Milky Way shone brightly, enveloping Phoenix Leaf Star in a tranquil and mysterious silver glow. After dinner, Feng Shenye stayed in Autumn Wind Valley for seclusion at the command of Consort Ye, while Su Bai and Luo Yunsheng rose to take their leave.

The two walked out of the Divine Phoenix Platform side by side and strolled along the spiritually rich mountain paths of Phoenix Leaf Star.

Tonight, Luo Yunsheng wore a plain white cloud-patterned robe, simple yet elegant in style, its hem flowing like mist as she walked. The moonlight shone on her, as if draping her in a sacred veil, making her as bright and clear as the moon, with a subtle gentleness hidden beneath her cool demeanor.

She turned her head, her clear, bright eyes looking quietly at Su Bai, keenly catching the faint trace of melancholy between Su Bai's brows.

"Junior brother seems to have something on his mind?" Luo Yunsheng asked softly, his voice as melodious as a night breeze brushing against the strings of a zither.

Upon hearing this, Su Bai stopped and looked up at the vast and boundless starry sky, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He turned to look at Luo Yunsheng, not hiding anything, and then said with a wry smile, "Senior sister is really perceptive; nothing escapes your eyes. It's not really a worry, but the warm atmosphere tonight has stirred up memories of my wife and children."

"I haven't seen them for a long time, and I wonder how they are doing now. With the war in the Demon Kingdom temporarily over, I plan to take this opportunity to return to my hometown."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yunsheng's beautiful face showed a hint of surprise, and her eyes widened slightly: "I didn't expect that my junior brother, at such a young age, already has a wife and children?"

In the cultivation world, especially at their level, many people sever worldly ties in pursuit of the Great Dao, or become emotionally detached due to the long passage of time.

It is indeed rare to see someone like Su Bai, who has started a family and career at such a young age and cares so much about his family.

A gentle smile appeared in Su Bai's eyes, an expression he only showed when talking about his family: "Yes, not only do I have a wife and children, but also a lovely granddaughter. That little girl is clever and mischievous, and utterly lovable. Although I haven't felt that long since I left my hometown to fight and battle in this world of myriad realms, it has felt like an eternity to those who are mortals or whose cultivation is still shallow. It's time to go back and see them, let them know I'm safe, and ease my longing."

Luo Yunsheng listened quietly, watching the genuine happiness on Su Bai's face, a hint of envy and loneliness flashing in his eyes.

She nodded gently, a hint of emotion in her voice: "That's wonderful. It's enviable, having the warmth of family and friends, a sense of belonging wherever you go. And me..."

She paused, her gaze fixed on the endless darkness in the distance, her voice becoming somewhat low: "And I, apart from my master and sister, have no other relatives in this world."

Su Bai's heart skipped a beat, keenly sensing the unusual tone in Luo Yunsheng's words. He didn't ask directly, but instead cautiously inquired via telepathy, "Senior Sister... the Human Emperor lineage has an ancient heritage and profound foundation. Besides you and Miss Yunyou, do you have no other clansmen or relatives?"

Luo Yunsheng remained silent for a moment before slowly replying telepathically, his voice tinged with a sense of desolation: "The lineage of the Human Emperor... sounds incredibly glamorous, but in reality, it carries a burden unimaginable to ordinary people. Our lineage is burdened with a terrible curse. Even with the cultivation of a god, whose lifespan should be endless, our clansmen often find it difficult to live past a trillion years. In these long years, our relatives have all perished under the torment of this curse, long since perished."

"A curse?" Su Bai frowned deeply, his heart filled with shock. "What kind of curse is this, so domineering that it can be passed down through bloodlines, and even gods cannot escape it?"

Luo Yunsheng took a deep breath, seemingly recalling some painful past, and slowly said, "That was a curse from the upper realm, called the 'Bronze Blood Curse.' It is inherited deep within the bloodline, like a malignant tumor clinging to the bone, extremely vicious, and almost impossible to cure."

"Those who are afflicted by this curse will gradually lose their vitality and divine blood as their cultivation level increases and time passes, replaced by a strange bronze rust. When they approach their limit of a hundred billion years, their blood and soul will be completely exhausted, and in the end, they will become a lifeless bronze corpse, never to be reborn."

"Bronze Blood Curse..."

Su Bai murmured to himself, his heart filled with indescribable shock. He never imagined that someone as brilliant and elegant as Luo Yunsheng would bear such a heavy and cruel fate.

"Then, Senior Sister... such a curse, even an Immortal Realm expert can't break it? What about the Heavenly Venerable and Master...?"
