Chapter 821: Chapter 688: The Twenty-Year-Old Soul Emperor, Don’t Deprive the Heavenly Gift

(Alright, I want to apologize first – there was a typo in the chapter title, which should be “The Deprived Talent.” It was correct initially, but I accidentally deleted it and when retyping it, I made a mistake. Unfortunately, I cannot change the chapter title, so please bear with it~~~)

“Yunyin, you go out first.” Liu Binglan waved her hand, motioning for Xiang Yunyun to leave first.

Xiang Yunyun nodded and slowly retreated, deliberately tempting Chu Mu with her Soul Sense as she left. Seeing that Chu Mu was Liu Binglan’s son made her even more interested in him.

After Xiang Yunyun left, Liu Binglan recited a spell, creating a soundproof barrier.

Once it was set up, Liu Binglan reached out and pressed her palm to Chu Mu’s left chest, gradually sending her Soul Sense into his soul.

Liu Binglan was checking Chu Mu’s soul temperature, and Chu Mu’s overheated soul had drained her a lot. She had already traversed many Forbidden Domains to find the purest ice-attribute spirit items.

It wasn’t too difficult for Liu Binglan to find ice-attribute spirit items with her strength, but only Heavenly Earth Immortal Ice could decrease Chu Mu’s soul temperature without harming him and eradicate the problem completely.

Unfortunately, during this long period, Liu Binglan had only found one 100% pure Earth Immortal Ice, and the Heavenly Immortal Ice was even more elusive to find.

“Hmm?” While probing Chu Mu’s soul, Liu Binglan let out a curious sound and asked Chu Mu, “How has your soul become so strong?”

Liu Binglan found that Chu Mu’s soul temperature was much higher than before, and at the same time, his soul had become much stronger. If it had been a Soul Lord-level soul in the past, Chu Mu’s soul would have undoubtedly been burnt to ashes at this high temperature.

“I recently entered the Soul Emperor level.” Chu Mu said.

Liu Binglan withdrew her hand, looking at Chu Mu with astonishment, and immediately probed him with her Soul Sense again.

Indeed, Chu Mu had reached the Soul Emperor level!!!@@novelbin@@

This was somewhat unbelievable to Liu Binglan. Chu Mu was so young and had risen to the Soul Emperor level without any backing or mentoring from powerful figures. His cultivation speed was astonishing!

At first, Liu Binglan had always wanted to take Chu Mu to the Soul Hall and cultivate him to enhance his strength.

But when she wanted to meet him during the previous encounter, Chu Mu insisted on relying on self-cultivation.

It is true that Soul Pet Masters need to rely on themselves to become stronger, but with a teacher guiding them in addition to their hard work, it would undeniably be more efficient.

Chu Mu’s desire for self-cultivation couldn’t be forced, but Liu Binglan thought it would be too slow on his own.

Much to Liu Binglan’s surprise, Chu Mu had entered the Soul Emperor level within such a short time by relying on his own strength. This was definitely not something ordinary people could achieve.

“You have truly become a Soul Emperor…” Liu Binglan’s face flushed slightly, obviously due to her excitement!

Upon finding out that Chu Mu had become a Soul Emperor, Liu Binglan’s emotions became a bit uncontrollable. She tightly held Chu Mu’s hand, and her bright, beautiful eyes seemed to be misting up.

“Mom… what’s wrong?” Chu Mu looked at the visibly emotional Liu Binglan, feeling puzzled.

Chu Mu knew that it was extraordinary for him to reach the Soul Emperor level, but he didn’t think Liu Binglan should be this excited. Could it be that his reaching the Soul Emperor level had some important significance?

Liu Binglan didn’t speak, her emotions out of control, tears glistening in her eyelashes. Chu Mu found it hard to imagine Liu Binglan, who always appeared cold and proud, to have such a tearful and touching side.

“What exactly happened?” Chu Mu asked softly when Liu Binglan’s emotions began to stabilize.

Liu Binglan took a few deep breaths to regain her composure, then said with a relieved smile on her beautiful face, “Since you have reached the Soul Emperor level on your own, I might as well tell you about some things.”

Chu Mu nodded, sat upright, and listened intently since Liu Binglan seemed to be about to discuss something important. He also had many questions about the Defecting Girl for Liu Binglan.

“Your rapid cultivation speed might be because you inherited my talent. You were born with this talent, but it was suppressed. Now that you’ve progressed so quickly, it’s possible that the talent has awakened again.” Liu Binglan said.

“Talent? Does Mom have a fast cultivation speed?” Chu Mu asked.

“Yes, Mom reached the Soul Emperor level at the age of twenty…”

“Mu’er, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Liu Binglan asked nervously.

“…” Chu Mu almost wanted to bang his head against the wall.

Chu Mu was known as the youngest Soul Emperor in history!

Chu Mu had felt quite proud of this honor in front of Liu Binglan and Chu Tianmang. After all, the record Chu Mu broke had been held for hundreds of years.

However, Liu Binglan’s words now shattered Chu Mu’s one-time source of pride. He initially had a lot of questions to ask, but now he didn’t know where to start.

Now, Chu Mu figured out why Liu Binglan looked so young. She reached the Soul Emperor level at twenty years old, so her appearance was practically fixed at that age. As time passed, it made her look even more mature, rather than aging her.

A woman’s temperament, to some extent, needed the precipitationof time. Liu Binglan’s face still retained her twenty-year-old appearance, making her even more attractive and charming. If younger men saw Liu Binglan, they would probably blush as Xiang Yunyun imagined they would, like little boys.

“It’s because of this special talent that mom was able to become a Soul Emperor so quickly.” Liu Binglan saw that Chu Mu was looking downhearted and gave him a gentle smile, saying, “You could have too, but your talent was taken away from you some time ago.”

“Talent? Taken away?” Chu Mu was full of questions, not quite understanding what Liu Binglan was talking about.

“Mom’s cultivation speed is much faster than that of others, and even without cultivating, you can advance sometime. Since you’re my child, naturally you would inherit this special talent.” Liu Binglan said.

“Is there really such an exaggerated talent?” Chu Mu was even more astonished.

He had never heard about a talent that allows one to advance even without cultivating before, which seemed way too high.

“Maybe it’s because I inherited some ancient power from the Soul Hall, I’m not sure exactly why.” Liu Binglan explained.

Chu Mu’s cultivation speed was indeed quite fast, but it didn’t seem as exaggerated as Liu Binglan’s talent.

Besides, Chu Mu felt that his fast cultivation was due to his own hard work and the motivation from his soul struggles, along with the bloodline of his Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, the half-demon bloodline, the push from his Mo Ye mutant race, and the special spiritual medicine provided by Ye Qingzi…

All of these factors, which ordinary people could never have, contributed to Chu Mu’s rapid entry into the level of a Soul Emperor.

“So, how was it taken away?” Chu Mu asked, having never heard of a talent that could be taken away before.

“You forgot about your first soul pet contract.” Liu Binglan whispered.

The first soul pet — the Defecting Girl!

Suddenly, Chu Mu’s heart was struck with shock!

The Defecting Girl had actually taken away the Soul Pet Master talent that he inherited from Liu Binglan!

Could it be that the Defecting Girl had been occupying his soul for so long because this kind of soul possession allows her strength to grow rapidly?!

“It was mom’s negligence that caused so many things to happen later.” Liu Binglan said self-blamingly.

“What exactly happened back then? I only remember you taking me to the Di Sheng Domain, and then a girl was born from the blue Holy Flower, asking me to sign a soul pact with her. I couldn’t resist her mental temptation, so I agreed…” Chu Mu had always been curious about what happened back then, and now with Liu Binglan present, he could finally know the whole process and reasons behind it.

“She did not use mental temptation. Signing a soul pact cannot be done through mental temptation, as a disturbed mind cannot recite the Soul Contract Spell completely. You were too young back then and believed her words naively.” Liu Binglan explained.

“…” Chu Mu had always thought that the Defecting Girl had cast some sort of flower-type enchantment skill that caused his mind to be lost.

It seemed that he was simply tricked, and he was indeed too naive at that time to believe others easily, especially the words of an angelic girl who he felt should not be desecrated.

“Normally, we humans start to have soul sense at the age of ten. As soon as you reached ten years old, your soul sense increased very quickly. At that time, mom wanted to find a baby Di Sheng Flower, a Plant Spirit Beast, that would be suitable for your first pet…”

“Wait, wait… Mom, are you talking about the Di Sheng Flower, one of the Emperor-level flower-type soul pets?” Chu Mu quickly stopped Liu Binglan and asked her again with great emphasis.

“Yes, don’t you like it?” Liu Binglan blinked, not knowing why Chu Mu’s tone was so strange.

“…” Chu Mu’s face went black.

Having him sign a soul pact with the Di Sheng Flower was no different from signing one with the Defecting Girl!

After all, the Di Sheng Flower was an Emperor-level, yet he was only a ten-year-old Soul Disciple at that time! The Di Sheng Flower would definitely defect! It seemed like Liu Binglan just wanted her son’s first pet to defect!

“It’s not about liking or disliking it; it’s about being able to sign the soul pact or not!” Chu Mu found out that his frosty mother had an extremely simple or extremely irrelevant thought process!

Seeing Chu Mu’s excited face, Liu Binglan smiled gently and patiently explained, “Ordinary people indeed cannot sign soul pacts with Emperor-level soul pets; Emperor-level soul pets grow too fast, and a single metamorphosis could result in them defecting. For ordinary humans who have thresholds and bottlenecks, it is indeed a big taboo.”

“But you are different. At that time, you inherited my talent, and from the age of ten, your strength would increase very quickly.”

“The Di Sheng Flower, on the other hand, is a slow-growing soul pet, and it would take about 10 years to grow to the tenth rank even if it were in long-term battle. Mom’s estimate was that you would have become a Soul Emperor about 10 years later, thus growing in sync with the Di Sheng Flower. Even if it was a little slow, it wouldn’t matter; with mom using special medicines to suppress the growth of the Di Sheng Flower, it wouldn’t defect.”

Chu Mu felt a little dizzy after hearing this. He had always been told never to sign a soul pact with a higher-ranked soul pet, but now, Liu Binglan overturned this idea with just a few words!
