NOVEL WEB Chapter 14:
Chapter 14: The Revival of the Strong Man in the Azure Ring:
“Grandfather, I have something for you. I recently acquired it during a fortuitous encounter. It can extend your life.” Qin Yuan said, handing the Eighth Turn Holy Pill to his grandfather.
Qin Batian was taken aback and accepted the pill with great care.
As he examined the pill, which radiated potent life energy, he was deeply shocked and couldn’t believe his eyes.
“Yuan’er…” Qin Batian’s eyes began to mist over.
It was a sorrowful thought that, despite being a great emperor, his life was nearing its end due to his dwindling lifespan.
He no longer worried about his own longevity. All he wanted now was to devote his remaining strength to the Qin family and resolve some of the pressing issues facing the human race. That way, he could pass away without any regrets.
But he never expected his beloved grandson to surprise him with such a miraculous gift—the Eighth Turn Holy Pill, a sacred object capable of extending life.
With this elixir, Qin Batian felt he could return to his prime, display his might once more, and even make another breakthrough. After all, when he first became an emperor, he had vanquished one from the demon clan with his immense power.
Now, he not only wanted to regain his former glory but also surpass it.
“This grandson of mine has never disappointed me.” Qin Batian thought with joy, looking at Qin Yuan with even more affection.
After spending some time with his doting grandfather, Qin Yuan quickly retreated to his cultivation chamber.
Seated in the secret room, he examined the azure ring on his hand—a ring he had taken from Lin Yun, and one that had a significant background.
This ring, known as Lin Yun’s companion treasure, had accompanied Lin Yun since childhood and had grown with him until he reached the pinnacle of power.
According to the original novel, a god-level figure, more terrifying than an emperor, was hidden within this ring. His name was Jun Shangyun, and he was still in a deep slumber, yet to awaken.
According to the plot, Jun Shangyun would soon awaken due to a fortuitous event, saving Lin Yun’s life and helping him defeat geniuses and emperors alike. But now, with Lin Yun out of the picture, his progress would undoubtedly slow down.
Of course, as the protagonist, Lin Yun might still encounter other opportunities. After all, the heavens have a way of favoring their chosen ones. But for now, Qin Yuan’s focus was on reviving this powerful being. With Jun Shangyun’s help, Qin Yuan could tap into a fraction of the protagonist’s luck.
Qin Yuan glanced at his personal interface:
[Host]: Qin Yuan (Villain Halo)
[Realm]: Seventh Level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm
[Technique]: Chaos Jue
[Physique]: Chaos God and Demon Body
[System Treasure House]: Blood Dragon Sword (Earth Level), Beauty Pill x1
[Villain Points]: 36,000
Without hesitation, Qin Yuan entered the system mall. The treasures within were vast and dazzling. After browsing for a while, he settled on a specific item:
[Soul Restoration Pill]: Restores or accelerates the recovery of a damaged soul
[Price]: 30,000
This was precisely what he needed.
Although it was expensive, Qin Yuan purchased it without hesitation. A jet-black elixir appeared before his eyes, and as he took a sniff, he felt as though his soul was soaking in a hot spring, a sensation of comfort spreading through his entire being.
Even the azure ring began to emit a faint glow, as if it was pleased.
Noticing this, Qin Yuan smiled. “The fish is taking the bait…” he thought, holding the Soul Restoration Pill close to the ring.
At this moment, a terrifying aura surged from the ring. Qin Yuan quickly withdrew the pill, causing the ring to shake anxiously.
“If you want this, there are conditions,” Qin Yuan said calmly. The ring stopped shaking, as if asking what the conditions were. “The condition is that you swear eternal loyalty to me.” He stated firmly.
The ring remained still, seemingly contemplating the offer.
After a while, it began to move again, nodding up and down as if in agreement.
“Words alone aren’t enough,” Qin Yuan added, raising his hand to send a flash of golden light into the ring. “This is a binding agreement. Once you sign it, I’ll be your master, and your life and death will be under my control.”
The ring hesitated, but Qin Yuan wasn’t in a hurry.
After all, he was dealing with a proud, powerful entity. He had time to spare, and it allowed him to refine the bead that Elder Bai had given him earlier.
If he was lucky, he might even break through to the next stage.
Time passed, and after an hour, Qin Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the ring.
The agreement had been signed, indicating that the entity had agreed. He then placed the Soul Restoration Pill before the ring.
As the pill was absorbed by the ring, a dazzling golden light filled the secret chamber. From the light emerged a man in white robes, exuding an immortal aura. As soon as he appeared, he began laughing uncontrollably.
“Hahaha! I have finally recovered! My thousand years of waiting were not in vain! I am free at last!” he bellowed.
Qin Yuan observed him calmly, a smile playing on his lips.
After a few moments, the man turned to Qin Yuan and asked, “Young man, I’m curious—where did you get the Soul Restoration Pill?”
“I found it lying on the roadside.” Qin Yuan replied with a polite yet amused smile.
Jun Shangyun almost stumbled, looking at Qin Yuan with wide eyes. “You… are you serious?”
“What else?” Qin Yuan’s smile remained unchanged.
“…Well, I suppose that’s that.” Jun Shangyun muttered, clearly at a loss for words.
…
Meanwhile, in the Su family…
It had been a long time since Qin Yuan had broken off the engagement, and the storm was brewing.
Su Yuanshan, the patriarch, sat in his chair, his face filled with worry. Although the loss of resources had dealt a blow to the family, they could still survive on their previous foundation.
However, what troubled him most was his son, Su Qing, who was imprisoned in the Black Devil’s Cave—a place more terrifying than anyone could imagine.
Su Yuanshan was desperate to find a way to save his son.
As he pondered this, a hurried figure rushed in, speaking anxiously, “Master, something terrible has happened! The Qing Pavilion has been sealed off by the city’s law enforcement team!”
“What?!” Su Yuanshan froze, as if struck by lightning.
