Chapter 1471 20.35 First Black Star - Forbidden Curse
Imperial Palace. Throne Hall.
After the human emperor had left, the officials and the minister were in regret at how their emperor had suddenly become like this. He is now no different from a madman tyrant, and is much worse than the prodigal human emperor before him. After all, the reason they even did treason just to replace the previous emperor was so they could have a better leader.
Now it seems like they had made a wrong choice and it is a person that doesn't even look at them as living humans.
The collective crying of the old men made Yun Ming uncomfortable. He actually didn't want to get involved, but one of the ministers is an old man that takes good care of Xu Ming and because of it he could leave as he was grabbed by the old man.
"Xiao Ming, why do you think the human emperor changed? He didn't used to be this crazy," said the old minister.
Warden Yun Min, who didn't seem to be interested in the first place, was perplexed when he heard that the human emperor had recently changed. She sat down and felt the old men sit up on the floor helping them control their overwhelming emotions that made them uncomfortable.
"What do you mean that he didn't used to be like this?" asked Yun Ming.
The officials and ministers looked at one another and decided to tell everything then known to this young G.o.d who didn't treat them any differently than the original Xu Ming.
"It's true. The human emperor didn't used to be as crazy as he is right now. Everything changed the day he defeated those two G.o.ds who wanted to take over the imperial palace." They are talking about the first descendant of Ye Yan and Hei Suya.
"It was just that on that day, the night had suddenly descended. We didn't think much as the human emperor came out safe and captured the two G.o.ds."
"But who would have thought he would start to change since that day…"
"That's right! The emperor started to change since then… he started going mad as if he was out of control. But for some reason he restrained himself from killing. There are those shadows!"
"Those shadows would sometimes follow his command, but also sometimes go against his orders."
"It was as if there were two people fighting in the human emperor's body."
"But he recently stopped being calm and instead started acting like a madman!"
"What should we do?"
"What the h.e.l.l is truly happening!?"
Yun Ming, who was gathering information as he listened to the words these officials were all telling him. As if he found a few missing pieces he got an answer, he thought on his own.
'Two souls in the human emperor's soul. The incomplete soul of that young man called Anwei. An appearance close to the incarnation of Lord Hei, yet a soul that was completely different. As if another person is living someone else's life.'
[Life Exchange Forbidden Spell. It does exist but…]
Zhi Yang could hear the thoughts of warden Yun Ming and thought that his theory at this moment seems to be on the right path. He actually couldn't believe this was happening. I mean who would believe that a completely different person living someone else's life. But there is indeed a curse that makes such a thing possible, and it's cruel and one of the forbidden spells that goes against heaven.
After all, the one who made an exchange would forget who they truly are and could only live the life they had stolen.
Yun Ming asked, 'Zhi Yang, is it possible?'
[It is possible but… only evil cultivators do such heaven defying things.]
Yun Ming said, 'This is an S-cla.s.s Ancient Cultivation world. So this kind of spell should also be possible.'
[Maybe it is because of that man who attacked us. Master's soul fragment can be considered a G.o.d's soul fragment, it would be almost impossible to change life with his honored destiny. However, if that man truly is involved then it's possible. The question is why would he do such a thing?]
'With this, I now know what I should check when I peek into their souls.' Yun Ming said to Zhi Yang in his mind.
He comforted the old men in the throne hall and sent them all out so they could go home safely while headed to the floating island to find Diviner Sang. This is the man who should be able to help him peek through the souls in the body of the human emperor and check if his theory is plausible.
That afternoon, Warden Yun Ming flew towards the sky to find where the floating island was. A map was given to him by the old officials which will lead him to the island faster so he can come within three days. He had a feeling that the human emperor's words of extermination were not a joke. To avoid the tragedy of falling at the imperial palace he can only implement his plan as fast as he can.

Borderlands.
Xiejing Province, Anjia Village.
Everyone in the mansion is gearing up to climb the mountain. Aunt Yan chose to stay and look after the house. Zhi Yue, w.a.n.g Xiajie and Uncle Shun were men, so climbing up is not a problem, but Anwei is a ger and a young man himself. Plus, with the danger of blind bears being around, the three men didn't want to let him go with them.
Uncle Shun said, "Xiao An, the mountain is dangerous. There are wild beasts like the blind bears or even wolves. How about you stay with your grandma at home?"
"But Grandpa Shun… if I don't come can any of your three recognize the herbs? I'm afraid you might have pulled a poisonous one. Plus, there is nothing to worry about, isn't there Uncle w.a.n.g? Is his sword for show?" asked Anwei with a confused expression on his innocent face.
Zhi Yue said, "No. My lord is actually a Sword Master himself so…"
"Then there is no problem. Uncle w.a.n.g will protect me!" said Anwei.
At the side, w.a.n.g Xiajie felt old being called uncle by Anwei. Normally, he doesn't care as the gap in their age is almost a decade. But this young man is the original's cousin, so it's unfair for him to be called one when they are supposed to be in the same generation.
"Anwei, don't call me uncle. I feel… old," said w.a.n.g Xiajie.
Seeing his face as if he had eaten a s.h.i.+t, everyone couldn't help but laugh at him. In the end, with w.a.n.g Xiajie's promise, Anwei was able to come with him. The only condition is that he must not separate from w.a.n.g Xiajie and don't run out on his own. If he has somewhere to go, he must drag w.a.n.g Xiajie with him. In the end, the four of them hike the mountain together.
In the mountains, Zhi Yue led them along the way. He was looking through the route using his system's capabilities as a cheat software. He knew the fastest and safest way to reach the area where the herbs are planted. On the way, they would stop when Anwei saw an uncommon herb along the way. They would also stop when Uncle Shun found some mushroom his wife asked him to find.
On the way, they found a moon belly mushroom which is used as a tribute to the emperor. This thing just happened to be w.a.n.g Xiajie's favorite.
Anwei pointed, "Ah! Is that a moon belly mushroom?"
"Where!?" asked Zhi Yue as w.a.n.g Xiajie's head turned to look at the direction Anwei was pointing at.
They indeed saw a cl.u.s.ter of Moon Belly mushrooms and it's even ripe for picking. Three men squatted around the mushroom looking at it with glowing eyes. Meanwhile, Uncle Shun looks a bit stunned and he knows what this kind of high-grade mushroom signifies.
Uncle Shun said, "Moon Belly Mushroom. Is that what is usually used as a tribute to the human emperor? We are going to be rich!"
The three young men collectively said, "Not for sale!"
Zhi Yue said, "Such a delicious thing! It can only be cooked and eaten, not sold!"
"Yue, Anwei, you guys carefully pull it. Gather and place it in the basket we brought with us," said w.a.n.g Xiajie.
Anwei said, "Leave it to us!"
Uncle Shun looked at them with a surprised look of disbelief. "Are you guys serious? You can't eat something that expensive!"
"It's fine. I can afford it," said the former emperor.
"It's alright. This thing is delicious when stir-fried!" said the silly gluttonous moon.
"Uncle don't worry. Once it was cooked no one knew it's a Moon Belly Mushroom!" said Anwei.
w.a.n.g Xiajie said, "No need to pick the small ones. We can come back once it grows bigger."
'You still planned to come back and pick it again!'
Uncle Shun was dumbfounded by how these three were fearless to eat something that was used as a tribute to the emperor. He wouldn't have been surprised he learned the ident.i.ties of these three people. He couldn't stop them and could only turn a blind eye to it. But he can already imagine his wife fainted when these three asked her to cook it for them.
Filling one of their baskets with Moon Belly Mushrooms, Uncle Shun had already calculated in his mind how much money these three would eat when these mushrooms entered their stomachs. Zhi Yue and Anwei were even humming as they continued to climb up the mountain. All of the sudden, something hit his head and was p.r.i.c.ked by something.
Ow!
When Uncle Shun looked up, he saw a tall tree filled with chestnut cl.u.s.ters above his head. He looked delighted as chestnut was something his wife loves to eat.
"Chestnuts! Let's also pick some of these! Your Aunt loves Chestnut!" Uncle Shun.
The three young men were definitely interested in these chestnuts, though not as much as the Moon Belly Mushroom. But for Zhi Yue and Anwei, who have sweet teeth, they are definitely interested in sugar coated chestnuts.
While picking enough chestnuts, w.a.n.g Xiajie, who was watching at the side suddenly turned serious as he felt an incoming presence. He held his sword and stood in the direction where he felt that presence. The three finally noticed that w.a.n.g Xiajie had suddenly moved. Uncle Shun and Zhi Yue were also not that bad and noticed the reason for w.a.n.g Xiajie's action.
Uncle Shun pulled Anwei behind him, while Zhi Yue held the whip that was hanging at his waist standing before Uncle Shun and Anwei.
Uncle Shun while wearing a serious face asked, "What is it, Xiao Ye?"
