Chapter 2347 Humble Light Scion

Lin Mu knew that often in higher realms, there we cases where the more profound something was, the more simple it seemed.

The same was the case for the Immortal Paragon Ring, as it was very humble looking. No energy fluctuations could be felt from it, and nor was there any response from the ring as it lay peacefully in the Crown Prince's palm.

'The moment of revelation,' Having confirmed that the ring wasn't going to retaliate, Crown Prince Feng Shun took the next step and used his Immortal sense.

After all, this was the only way to truly confirm what it was and whom it belonged to.

The Crown Prince's Immortal Sense touched upon the surface of the Immortal Paragon Ring as a warm feeling surged through it. This made the man relax for a moment, before a faint pulse of energy was released from the ring.

~SHUA~

The pulse of energy washed over everyone, making them feel strangely peaceful. But that wasn't all as a warm light soon rose from the ring before transforming into a few letters.

"Humble Light Scion?" Crown Prince Feng Shun read the name, confusion apparent on his face.

The others saw it too, unable to recognize it. "Is that who the Immortal Paragon Ring belongs to?" Daoist Chu asked out loud.

Lin Mu wondered the same and his eyes didn't move from it until the name disappeared, the ring returning to its normal state. "That's all?" Lin Mu had expected there to be something more. "Did you learn something, Crown Prince?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"Nothing" Crown Prince Feng Shun's confusion only increased. "Can you check more?" Ziran asked, wondering if there was something wrong.

"No I can't the ring won't respond anymore." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied, making them surprised.

"Can we try?" Crown Princess Shang inquired. "Perhaps it might not work for everyone?" she suggested.

This was an Immortal Paragon's ring after all and there was no telling what kind of limitations were on it.

"Alright." Crown Prince Feng Shun had already done what he could, thus there was no harm in trying.

But when Crown Princess Shang used her immortal sense, she felt the same. There was no response from the ring, and it felt like she was only touching something mundane.

"It doesn't work." Crown Princess Shang shook her head. "Maybe we can all try?" Qiao De suggested.

The Crown Prince Feng Shun didn't mind, and the ring was pa.s.sed around, as everyone tried one by one. But same as the two n.o.bles, the ring didn't respond to anyone.

"Your turn, Daoist Mu Lin." Lady Kang handed the ring to Lin Mu, making everyone look at him.

Crown Prince Feng Shun and his companions watched carefully, having higher hope in Lin Mu than others did.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu touched the ring with his immortal sense too, but felt no response from it. 'Looks like it won't work' But just as Lin Mu was about to withdraw his immortal sense, he heard a voice.

"Wait!" The voice was of none other than that of Xukong.

"Did you sense something, Senior?" Lin Mu asked. "Hold on, let me see," Xukong replied and Lin Mu did as told.

He didn't know what Xukong was exactly doing, as he himself couldn't feel anything. Neither did the ring show any change or response to Xukong's acts. It was as if they were nonexistent.

But in reality, what Xukong was doing was simply beyond understanding.

Unknown to everyone, Ten Golden Yellow Eyes opened deep in the Grand Void, while their gaze transcended the expanse of nothingness. They traversed the distance in moments before reaching the simple looking ring that Lin Mu was holding.

They lingered on the ring for two seconds before they closed, leaving no trace of anything at all.

There were no spatial disturbances, nor were there any energy waves, it was all incognito.

"Qing Jiesui" Xukong finally uttered a name. "Who's that?" Lin Mu questioned. "Wait is that whom the ring belongs to?" "Yes Qing Jiesui, better known as his t.i.tle, the Humble Light Scion." Xukong answered.

"You know who he is?" Lin Mu's eyes went wide.

"I do Somewhat." Xukong replied, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "He was an Immortal Paragon over seventy generations ago. Though he wasn't one for long in fact, he had the shortest reign as an Immortal Paragon." He revealed.

"Huh what happened to him?" Lin Mu asked with great curiosity.

"It was unknown what truly happened to him, but he was deemed to have died in the war back then. But it seems like the truth is a lot different from that" Xukong said, finding it all unusual himself.

"War?" Lin Mu raised his brows, knowing that it wasn't simple.

"It's not something I can tell you. It involves people whose karma is far too great for you." Xukong knew what Lin Mu wished to know. "But I can definitely tell you that it was one of the more dangerous wars of the Immortal Court. Qing Jiesui had become an Immortal Paragon during this war when the previous Immortal Paragon perished in a Transcendent Immortal Tribulation." He revealed a bit more.

"So he was thrust in the middle of a war" Lin Mu wondered how that might have been like.

"Indeed And due to his new position, he was at the very lead, which also led to his death. He was an Immortal Paragon for less than a single year." Xukong stated with some emotion. "It was a great loss for the Immoral Court and they almost lost due to it, if not for the combined efforts and sacrifice of many experts."

Hearing that Lin Mu went silent, as he pondered over it. He couldn't help but imagine it all.

To get a great position like that but only to lose one's life soon after.

"No wait, if the ring is here doesn't that mean he didn't die?!" Lin Mu snapped back to the truth.

"Exactly this is very suspicious."
