CHAPTER 125: YUN SHE

Chapter 125: Yun She

.

To the south of Qiyan city, a few kilometers away, lies Qingshi, a medium to large city with a population second only to provincial capitals like Qiyan.

It is renowned in Lushan Province as the main mining city, located near a small mountain range rich in various mineral resources, which over the centuries has increased its power and influence, making it one of the province’s main centers for resource extraction.

Just like the provincial capital, it is also home to many forces and factions, among them the Yun family.

Although it is not considered among the most powerful in the city, it still wields a certain degree of influence.

Yet all of this is only appearance. What few know is that the power currently held by the Yun family far surpasses all the forces that currently govern the city.

It has already planted deep roots in the city over the years, and now that many of their plans are in motion, their power is beginning to show itself more clearly.

Deep within one of the three main mountains bordering the city, three individuals were at work.

They were currently inside a cave carved deep into the mountain, far from the prying eyes of the outside world.

It was large and spacious, furnished with various objects and machinery of unknown use, connected to strange violet tubes that seemed almost alive.

These tubes ran from machine to machine, eventually connecting to several ovoid cocoons, arranged in a single row of five.

Unlike the one found in the depths of the Yao family mines, these were relatively small, no taller than two meters, and the presence they emitted was far weaker than that one.

Inside them, various humanoid figures could be seen, all curled up in fetal positions, immersed in a strange liquid.

But among these five cocoons, one in particular stood out, more precisely the central one, slightly larger than the others, and the liquid inside it was darker than in the others.

Unlike the other four, it did not have blurred surfaces that looked like they were made of some kind of thin membrane, but rather of glass.

A smooth, transparent surface covered the central cocoon, which currently contained the sleeping figure of a man.

From his appearance, he seemed to be in his thirties, but his youthful features made him look younger.

Even his height was slightly above average, reaching about 1.80 meters.

He was none other than Yun Hao, who at this moment was recovering in the main laboratory of his family.

Thanks to the fact that he had already partially formed his nascent soul, he managed to preserve his life even after the explosion, and thanks to his timely action, he avoided complete disintegration, burying his body in the walls of the cave.

Despite all these measures, he had still almost perished from the impact of the explosion caused by his own attack talisman.

If it had not been for the family members who had found him in time, he would not have survived long in that place, and most likely would have died. But fortune was with him, and clearly it was not yet his time to die.

Although his soul had survived, his body was another matter.

It had been damaged beyond measure, leaving him in irreparable condition, with no choice but to form a new body.

The advantage of having a nascent soul became clear in these situations.

He could have gradually formed a new body from scratch and, after a few years, almost fully recovered, regaining even part of his cultivation.

But thanks to the support of his family, this process was accelerated from years to only a few weeks.

At this point, he had already formed a new body, and thanks to the nourishment he had received through this cocoon, he was also able to recover part of his cultivation quickly.

He had already reached the third stage and was already halfway toward the next stage.

Thanks to the fact that he was not cultivating for the first time but recovering his original cultivation base, the process was naturally fast, but this process was further accelerated thanks to this device in which he was immersed.

Instead of spending months to reach the third stage, he did it in a week, and at this moment he was concentrating to quickly reach the peak of the third stage.

While immersed in his cultivation, he sensed something at that moment, and his brow furrowed as he slowly began to regain consciousness.

As he did so, at the entrance of the cave, the doors opened, pushed from both sides by a guard.

They were large and sturdy, made of a very strong material, difficult to damage.

As soon as the doors opened, a tall figure of a man could be seen in the center, stepping forward and entering the cave calmly, walking toward the row of cocoons in the center of the room.

Seeing this figure, the people working there stopped what they were doing and all approached him, lining up and bowing.

"Greetings, Patriarch," all three said in unison, their voices full of reverence, showing not the slightest hint of disrespect.

And in fact, the person who had just entered was the famous and feared patriarch of the Yun family,

Yun She, no less than Yun Hao’s father .

He paid no attention to the greeting of his subordinates and looked at the glass cocoon in front of him with an expressionless gaze.

Yet this seemed to provoke some reaction from Yun Hao, who was immersed in the liquid.

Infact, he had already begun to open his eyes as the liquid inside the cocoon appeared to start draining downward.

A few seconds passed, and the cocoon, once full, was now completely empty, leaving only Yun Hao inside.

Soon, several spiral lines appeared on the smooth, intact surface of the cocoon, starting from the bottom and converging at a single point at the top.

As they met, they glowed more brightly, and then the cocoon split into sections and retracted downward.
