The Night King: The Asura
Ch-240s. Visit of Lao Tzu
First dimension.
Luo Ning's condition did not improve and did not even show signs of being aware, even though Goddess Nuwa had tried her best to help her, but the results were still the same.
Although his condition did not recover, but all the members of the Asura family were already able to breathe with relief, as Luo Ning's life energy that was about to vanish, finally re-enlarged slowly.
If given Jia Zhen's previous words, it could be concluded that Lin Feng had indeed not died, and his current condition might have already improved even more, since something similar had happened to Luo Ning as well.
"Your highness, how's mom doing?" xie Ling asked after Goddess Nuwa came out of her mother's room.
"The condition has not improved, but the energy of his life is getting bigger" replied Dewi Nuwa.
"Thank you, your honor."
"There's no need to thank you, because it's appropriate for me to help your parents."
"Yes, I will return to the Great Nirvana Realm and if anything bad happens, I will come to help soon!" he continued, then left the Underworld.
After Goddess Nuwa left, Xie Ling then went into her mother's room, "Mother, quickly realize, I miss my mother's embrace" she said.
In the palace courtyard.
The soldiers who were on guard were startled by a man who suddenly appeared in the palace courtyard, due to his extremely sudden appearance, the soldiers thought that the man was an enemy that would attack.
Moreover, Huise and the others were not in the kingdom, making it impossible for anyone else to come to the Underworld, unless that person is part of the Asura family who is free to come anytime there.
"Who are you!?" ask one of the soldiers.
The man turned his head then smiled kindly, "I came to pick up my students" he replied.
The soldiers frowned, "Murid? Who are you? And why did you come to this kingdom?"
The question of the soldier makes men who are none other than Lao Tzu astonished, the reason is, it is impossible that the soldier of the underworld does not recognize himself, but he is the one who taught them before the great war.
But then, Lao Tzu understood why those soldiers did not recognize him, because they were not the main warriors of the Underworld kingdom, in other words, they were guard soldiers not soldiers who used to fight alongside Lin Feng.
"My name is Lao Tzu."
The soldiers flinched, then rushed over to Lao Tzu and knelt down to apologize from him, "Pardon us, teacher! We really don't recognize teachers" the soldiers said.
"If you don't recognize me, why do you call me teacher?"
The soldier then explained that they were all trained by special soldiers of the Underworld kingdom, and indirectly they had been taught by Lao Tzu disciples. In other words, Lao Tzu was the master teacher of them all.
"It turns out, yes, I'm going in, is it okay?"
"Of course, teacher!"
Once allowed, Lao Tzu then entered the palace, but he found no one, neither Lin Feng nor the others, even the atmosphere in the huge palace felt very quiet and silent.
"Uncle, when's uncle coming?" greet Xie Long who just came out of his mother's room.
"Just now" replied Lao Tzu, "Long'er, where is your father and the others?"
Xie Long sighed softly and his countenance changed, which made Lao Tzu curious, but he remained silent and waited until Xie Long told him everything.
"I'm sorry for not telling uncle this matter" Xie Long replied.
"That's the matter?"
Xie Long nodded slowly, then told her all the things that had happened. In addition, Xie Long also told about the departure of Jia Zhen with the death pillar members to find his father.
"Then, what about your mother?" ask Lao Tzu.
"Mom's condition isn't okay, uncle. If uncle wants to see him, mother is in his room" replied Xie Long.
Xie Long nodded slowly, then carried Lao Tzu towards his mother's room. Upon arriving there, Lao Tzu's countenance instantly changed, sadness clearly etched on his face as he looked at Luo Ning who was lying stiff on the bed.
"Hopefully your father will be found soon, and hopefully he will be fine" Lao Tzu said.
***
As time passed, Jia Zhen's quest for his father's whereabouts continued, and his relationship with Zhen Jia grew closer.
However, Zhen Jia did not allow him to come too often, because according to Zhen Jia, the task of finding their father should take precedence over meeting him.
In addition, Zhen Jia also said that he would not go anywhere, and Jia Zhen could meet him all the time. So there was no reason for Jia Zhen to delay his task of searching for their father.
"Sister."
"Hmm? What's up?"
"Find me as soon as possible, I don't want anything bad to happen to you."
Jia Zhen smiled, then rubbed the top of his sister's head gently, "You take it easy, big brother will definitely find a father soon" he said.
"But have you known me before?"
Zhen Jia nodded, then said that she already knew Lin Feng very well, even though she could not meet Lin Feng or Luo Ning directly, either, yet he could see them from within Jia Zhen.
"When I find you, I promise I'll tell you about you and me."
Zhen Jia was downcast to hear her brother's words, despite the overwhelming desire to meet Lin Feng and Luo Ning, but in her heart, she felt fear, fear that her existence would not be accepted.
"Why?"
"What father and mother..."
"Bas stupid, father and mother can't possibly not accept you, especially after knowing you were also born from the mother's womb, even though it only lives in me."
Zhen Jia smiled, then stood up from her seat, "Sister, come with me."
"Where else?"
"Follow it!" zhen Jia said then darted flying away from the altar, but as it exited the altar, its body instantly turned into a wisp of energy.
The curious Jia Zhen then followed his sister, "Zhen Jia, where are we going?"
"Follow it, you'll know for yourself!"
Not long after, the two reached a place that Zhen Jia meant, yet there was nothing but three wisps of energy there, two were the size of an adult male's head and the other was much larger than both.
"Zhen Jia, what is this?"
"The red one is the power of heavenly lightning while the golden one is the power of golden fire."
"Then that one?" asked Jia Zhen.
"Those huge blobs of energy are a combination of those two forces."
"I'm a little confused" said Jia Zhen.
Zhen Jia then explained if in fact, Jia Zhen only had one power, which was the power of heavenly lightning, while the power of that golden flame was the power of his.
However, since Zhen Jia was inside Jia Zhen, then the power of his golden flames could also be used by his elder brother, and indirectly, by him, the strength of the two of them fused together to become a new, more powerful force.
"So so? It was only fitting that these two powers could join forces. Though, according to father, these two forces are very difficult to combine" muttered Jia Zhen who finally understood with Zhen Jia's explanation.
