"Are you afraid of me?" Donghuang Taiyi, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke. His voice was ethereal and devoid of emotion.
Ji Yun's thoughts instantly fell into chaos as the voice entered his ears. His eyes were completely filled with confusion.
"What are you afraid of?" Donghuang Taiyi asked before Ji Yun could reply.
"I'm afraid. What are you afraid of?" " I don't know," Ji Yun answered blankly, but he seemed to not know the reason. He frowned unconsciously.”
As if he was not surprised by Ji Yun's answer, Donghuang Taiyi did not pursue the matter further. "What's your name?"
"Ji Yun." This time, Ji Yun answered without hesitation.
Ji Yun." Donghuang Taiyi repeated. He slowly extended his right hand and opened his palm towards Ji Yun. At this moment, the jade pendant on Ji Yun's neck suddenly floated up into the air and floated towards Donghuang Taiyi. The red rope that was originally wrapped around the jade pendant had already snapped.
Yueshen looked at the jade pendant in a daze, her eyes filled with confusion. Of course, she wasn't puzzled by the jade pendant floating and moving in the air, which was a strange scene to ordinary people. Instead, she was puzzled by the jade pendant itself, or rather, why the jade pendant appeared on Ji Yun's body.
"Only a few people can stand in your current position. Most people can't pass through the path you just walked. They will be lost in this vast starry sky. But you passed it easily. You're familiar with it, aren't you?”
Ji Yun looked at the jade pendant floating towards the black-robed man with a blank expression. He didn't stop it and just watched quietly, his gaze following the movement. Upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's question, Ji Yun first turned around to look at the vast, starry Great Dao behind him. He then nodded and shook his head.
Donghuang Taiyi did not probe further into Ji Yun's answer. He held the jade pendant that floated in front of him and gently stroked the word " Ji " engraved on the jade pendant with his thumb. No one knew what he was thinking, and his expression under the black robe could not be seen.
"There are many noble families in the world that have a long history. Ji is the surname of the most noble family. The person who brought you here has the same surname as you.”Donghuang Taiyi, who was playing with the jade pendant, spoke slowly. Seeing Ji Yun turn to look at Yueshen because of his words, Donghuang Taiyi extended his left hand and pointed at Ji Yun with his index finger.
A ripple appeared. Ji Yun seemed to have sensed something and turned his head, only to see a bamboo scroll appear in front of him. Ji Yun reached out to grab the bamboo slip. The moment he touched it, he felt as if his middle finger had been pricked by a needle. The piercing pain made him subconsciously let go. However, a drop of blood had already slipped from his fingertip and dripped onto the bamboo slip. The drop of blood quickly entered the bamboo slip and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if the bamboo slip could absorb the blood. Immediately after, the bamboo slip that had absorbed the blood flashed with a faint golden light.
"Don't be afraid. Pick it up and tell me what you see.”Donghuang Taiyi's calm but irresistible voice rang out.
He reached out and picked up the strange bamboo slip again. Two words slowly appeared. "Tianlan." Ji Yun read out softly.
"The Ji Family, this most noble and sacred family has existed for a thousand years since its birth. And you, Ji Yun, are the blessed son who inherited the Ji Family's most sacred bloodline. Tianlan is your character.”Donghuang Taiyi waved his left hand gently, and the bamboo slip in Ji Yun's hand turned into dust and disappeared. "You have already obtained your own name. From now on, you have to start being yourself.”
"Tianlan." Ji Yun muttered and didn't say anything else.
He shifted his gaze from Ji Yun to Donghuang Taiyi, who was on the high platform, and asked in puzzlement,""Your Excellency Donghuang, who exactly is he?"
"A man with a mission." Donghuang Taiyi replied vaguely before continuing," From now on, he is the Yin-Yang School's Saint Child. Once he passed the test, he would become the young master of the Yin-Yang School.”
Yueshen's body trembled. Even though she had some guesses, she was still surprised by Donghuang Taiyi's decision. He looked at Ji Yun, who was in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Donghuang Taiyi did not explain further. He opened his right hand and the jade pendant in his palm floated towards Ji Yun again. As if someone was holding it, it floated directly to Ji Yun's neck and hung on the red rope. The red rope that had been broken had actually recovered. It was as if all of this had never happened. Strange.
"You can take care of him for now. You can leave now." He gave the Moon Goddess an order and went into a state of stillness.
"Yes." Although Yueshen was still puzzled, she didn't ask any more questions. She took Ji Yun's hand and turned to leave.
In the blink of an eye, only East Emperor Taiyi was left in the vast Star Hall.
After a long time, a sigh sounded. Did it bring about a sliver of opportunity or an endless threat?”
Walking out of the Star Hall, Ji Yun felt that the power that suppressed his consciousness and made him unable to move had disappeared. The confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he regained control of his body.
Ji Yun broke free from Yueshen's hand and stopped, turning to look at the door. The Moon Goddess also stopped and looked at the youth. At this moment, her childish face was filled with determination, but her eyes were filled with a trace of desire.
"Do you desire power?" Yueshen murmured to herself.
Yes, he thirsted for power. At this moment, Ji Yun's heart was filled with anger and powerlessness. He knew everything that had just happened. Every word, every sentence, and every action of Donghuang Taiyi, Yueshen, and himself were clear. Although this hypnosis made him completely unable to control his thoughts and body, his consciousness was clear. However, he could only be a bystander and could not do anything.
First, it was the Moon Goddess, then the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. He was like a doll that they could manipulate at will, and his life was in their hands. Although Ji Yun knew that these two were the peak existences of this world, especially East Emperor Taiyi, he could not accept this fact. "Power! Become stronger! Become the strongest!" Ji Yun roared in his heart.
Shaking his hand, he calmed the raging waves in his heart. He turned around, and his expression instantly became gloomy. He looked at Yueshen with a malicious gaze." How are Xiao Bai and the others?"”
