Chapter 932: An Extraordinary Breakthrough to Heavenly Insight
But the two younger generation members he cared about would both be going to the Second Circle.
Although Elder Deng couldn't offer them much protection in the Second Circle, he could be a witness.
He would witness Lu Ding and Bai Hemen's rise to fame.
Deng Suiyi spoke words of concern: "Have you packed all your things?"
Bai Hemen didn't understand: "What do I need to prepare?"
Elder Deng spoke at a leisurely pace: "What if you can't get used to the food or things up there?"
"You should bring the things you like."
These words, without Bai Hemen even realizing it, made him think of his grandmother.
When he was a child crossing mountains and valleys to go to school, his grandmother would also ask: Have you packed all your things?
Back then, there was no school in Bai Hemen's village.He had to go to a small county town far away to attend school.
Little him, carrying a backpack bigger than his own back, trudged through deep mud one step at a time to attend elementary school.
The place was poor, and the free school meals were very plain.
Besides books, his backpack contained pickled vegetables made by his grandmother, and meat she couldn't bear to eat herself brought from home, flavorful and salty, which he could eat with rice at lunch.
Thinking of these memories, Bai Hemen stood up.
"I'll go pack."
The moment he flew away, he sensed the gathering of heaven and earth's spiritual energy.
Bai Hemen glanced back at the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations.
This was a sign that Yan Feifan was about to break through to Heavenly Perception.
Bai Hemen's glance didn't pause; he quickly flew into the distance.
Soaring through clouds and mist, crossing mountains and valleys, he finally saw the homeland that had long haunted his thoughts.
The evening wind brought good news, blowing the child most concerned by the old woman as he landed at the grave mound.
Without a word, Bai Hemen knelt on both knees.
His head slowly but heavily touched the ground.
"Grandma..."
Tears that burst from his eyes soaked into the earth.
Bai Hemen sniffled.
Although his expression remained calm, his eyes couldn't help but glance around to see if anyone had witnessed his current state.
Only after confirming no one was there did Bai Hemen speak: "Grandma, I'm leaving. According to 749 regulations, those going to the Second Circle cannot return to the Third Circle."
"Unless under special circumstances."
"I don't know when I'll be able to come back to see you..."
"I'm afraid of being separated from you."
"So I want to take you with me. Do you agree?"
Silence. Heaven and earth were silent, only the wind remained noisy.
Bai Hemen stood up.
He didn't speak either.
He directly started digging.
He couldn't even be bothered to think of an excuse.
The child didn't care about worldly respect or prohibitions against digging graves; he just wanted to be able to see his grandmother often in the future.
Carefully placing the remains into an exquisite small jar, Bai Hemen held it with both hands against his chest.
Just like when he was bullied by a big rooster as a child, and his grandmother held him while seeking justice.
He whispered softly to himself: "Don't be afraid... Grandma... With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
"Where Grandma is, home is."
Just as Bai Hemen turned to leave, in his sight, a slightly hunched figure stood not far away.
It was precisely the Bai family patriarch, Bai Xuehe, who had wanted to give all his cultivation to Bai Hemen back then.
Back then, Bai Hemen hadn't accepted the cultivation.
So this Elder Bai hadn't died. After that incident, after arranging matters for the Xitong Bai family, he had quietly come alone to the homeland where the dream began.
He saw the raised grave mound and the old house that Lu Ding had secretly asked Yunhai's Five Organs Society to repair, still standing.
The layout hadn't changed, the decorations hadn't changed.
They had only restored the crumbling old house.
From that time on, Bai Xuehe had settled here, but he didn't move into the old house. He knew he wasn't worthy.
He could only build a thatched hut deep in the mountains, separated from the old house by the hills.
Until Bai Hemen's arrival today.
Bai Hemen looked expressionlessly at the newcomer: "Who told you to come here? Get lost!!!"
He unleashed his aura!!!!
It blew Elder Bai's body until it swayed.
The current Bai Hemen was no longer the youth who had fought Bai Baoyu until exhausted before winning.
Bai Xuehe felt bitter in his heart: "Xiao Bai, where are you taking her..."
Bai Hemen remained as straightforward as ever, speaking the most honest yet most helpless, despairing words with an expressionless face.
"Leaving this world, going to a place you'll never reach in this lifetime."
"If I'd known you'd be here disgusting Grandma, I should have taken her away sooner."
Elder Bai instantly felt despair.
Of all the people he cared about in his life, the Xitong Bai family no longer mattered. Only Bai Hemen and his former wife in the grave remained.
But now, Bai Hemen was taking Grandma away from this world, meaning they would never meet again in this lifetime.
The Bai family patriarch also knew about ascension and the Second Circle—after all, he had once 'planted a tree.'
Elder Bai's eyes pleaded, but he didn't know how to express the thoughts in his heart, only managing to shout: "Xiao Bai..."
Bai Hemen hugged the jar: "Sorry, I feel like vomiting. I'll take my leave first. Let's never meet again."
The moment he finished speaking, Bai Hemen disappeared from the spot.
Forgiveness? Reconciliation?
These words didn't exist in Bai Hemen's dictionary.
He only knew what Lu Ding had said: Repay virtue with virtue, repay resentment with directness. If the price for wrongdoers was just an apology, then the cost of wrongdoing would be too low.
Not attacking him was Bai Hemen's final mercy, considering his previous offer to give his cultivation.
As for kind words?
Sorry, can't say them.
After Bai Hemen left, the Bai family patriarch plopped down on the ground. Looking at the emptied grave, he could no longer hold back and burst into loud wails.
Wailing sounds echoed throughout the valley.
In Elder Deng's courtyard, Yan Feifan had already emerged from seclusion—freshly minted at the Heavenly Perception realm.
Because Feifan spoke pleasantly and had connections with Lu Ding and Bai Hemen, Elder Deng loved the crow for the sake of the rook and treated him quite well too.
They were still drinking tea.
But now Yan Feifan brewed while Elder Deng drank.
The old man sipped tea and asked: "Feifan, last time you said you had a way to go up after breaking through to Heavenly Perception without meeting the minor realm requirements. What method is that?"
Yan Feifan spoke mysteriously: "Elder Deng, do you remember those two monsters Brother Lu left behind?"
Elder Deng knew that when Lu Ding left, he had left Disheveled Hair and Mourning Guest to be maintained by Yunhai 749.
Although he didn't know why Lu Ding was raising these two monsters, Yunhai 749 from top to bottom trusted him unconditionally.
So they maintained them very well.
With Yan Feifan's reminder, Elder Deng instantly understood.
"You mean escorting them up?"
"Will that work?"
Elder Deng was somewhat uncertain.
Yan Feifan nodded firmly: "It will definitely work. My cultivation isn't insufficient—it's just a bit weak. And since Brother Lu can call down to the Third Circle, it means his position in 749 up there is also extraordinary."
"I'll submit a report first to see if it's possible."
Elder Deng pondered: "Then let's try. Trying doesn't cost anything."
