Chapter 748 Separation (1/2)

Yaoyao silently lay within it. Her fair and slender hands were clasped together over her abdomen, and numerous cracks were glowing on her skin.

Her face was still as breathtakingly beautiful as before. However, her usually clear yet distant eyes were now tightly shut, sealing off any signs of life.

Sorrow flitted across Zhou Yuan’s eyes as he reached out and gently caressed the coffin lid. Her every scowl and smile now existed only in memory.

He deeply blamed himself for what had happened to Yaoyao because if not for him, she would never have been forced into such a state.

Cang Yuan had tasked him to take care of Yaoyao, but Zhou Yuan clearly understood who had been taking care of who for the past few years.

Meeting her was his blessing.

But what made Zhou Yuan feel unbearable inside was that meeting him was most likely not a blessing for her. Otherwise, she would not be in this state today.

Zhou Yuan knew that his lack of strength was the main reason why this had happened.

Zhou Yuan softly murmured, “Don’t worry Yaoyao. I will awaken you no matter how difficult it is!”

He stared at Yaoyao’s face for a long time. In the end, he cast away all hesitation and decisively turned around to leave.

He did not know what awaited him this time. Hunyuan Heaven was far too vast and far from anything Cangxuan Heaven could hope to compare to. But he would not give up no matter what.

After leaving the house, boundless Genesis Qi undulations rippled in front of him. Zhou Yuan looked over and saw a giant Genesis Qi light array slowly taking shape in the nearby mountain valley.

Cang Yuan stood in the air, countless runes appearing and landing on the light array each time his finger cut through the air.

It was a Genesis Rune array that enabled travel between the heavens.

A teleportation array of this level was extremely difficult to construct and required an extremely frightening amount of Genesis Qi. However, neither was a huge problem for a Saint.

Two incense sticks of time later.

Cang Yuan’s hands finally stopped moving. He gazed at the light array before him and nodded in approval before slowly descending, arriving in front of Zhou Yuan.

Cang Yuan glanced at the house, then asked, “Are you ready?”

Zhou Yuan silently nodded.

Cang Yuan felt a small surge of emotions as he looked at the young man before him. The sacred race had just so happened to discover his location when he had first met Zhou Yuan, leaving him no choice but to temporarily separate from Yaoyao. Back then, he would never have imagined that such feelings would ultimately develop between Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao.

Cang Yuan did not know whether this was good or bad.

“Zhou Yuan…”

“...if you truly want to be with her, you need to become extremely powerful.

“After all, I’m sure you do not want to see the events of Cangxuan Heaven repeat themselves.”

Zhou Yuan’s hands slowly tightened. He knew that Cang Yuan was not trying to beat him down. Some matters were very cruel, but one ultimately needed to face them.

If he was not strong enough, even if he managed to awaken Yaoyao, something similar would eventually happen again in the future.

Because Yaoyao was not ordinary.

“I understand, master Cang Yuan.” Zhou Yuan faintly nodded.
