I Am Supreme
chapter-722

With Yun Yang's current mystical Qi cultivation base level, he had taken only half a day of cultivation to complete the first stage of Supreme Earth's Earth Release Charm, despite the fact that cultivating various manifestations would normally result in slower progress compared to cultivating a sole power.

This was the advantage of the accumulation of solid mystical Qi.

If it had been someone else who wanted to achieve what Yun Yang did, it was impossible to cultivate the Earth Release Charm to a beginner stage without three to five years.

What was strange was that Yun Yang felt like it was a matter of course when he cultivated the Earth Release Charm. He hardly felt the need for any insight and could enter the early world of that method with just a cycle of cultivation.

This was Yun Yang's first time experiencing it.

An odd feeling rose inexplicably the moment Yun Yang pressed his palm on the door to Supreme Earth's room. It was difficult to describe the feeling in words… It was as if he had come to the end of a path today, right at this very moment.

It was either the activation of the Earth Release Charm or Yun Yang's mind at work; anyway, the door slowly opened amidst an intense glow of yellow radiance, leading the way to the last room, Supreme Earth's room.

Casting his gaze around, Yun Yang saw that Supreme Earth's room was easily much larger than the other Supremes' rooms. There was a huge piece of calligraphy that hung in the center, signed by Supreme Earth himself.

"For the nation and people, cherish this body not!"

Yun Yang stared at the nine words and went into a trance.

For the nation and people, cherish this body not… That was absolutely right. Supreme Earth's lifetime perfectly mirrored these nine words. He was, perhaps, the epitome of these nine words.

For the nation and people, he had indeed given up everything. Not only did he forgo the throne that was within reach, but there was also the happiness of the company of his beautiful wife and son!

Descending from his rightful throne and shedding his royal status, letting go of his beloved young son and silently building the team of the Nine Supremes, he had gone from a high point where he was admired from to a hidden world where no one knew he existed.

For many years, he had fought countless times on the battlefield and gone through too many life and death situations. It was more than facing challenges, more than flirting with death. He had contributed so much, unparalleled in his merits, but no one knew about them at all. None of the fame was truly shining on him.

For the nation and people, cherish this body not – In the end, he had realized the last four words, cherish this body not! His life had ended at Tianxuan Cliff!

Even his name had never been etched on his tombstone. There was only his code name on it – Supreme Earth!

Supreme Earth!

One of the Nine Supremes, one of the heroes of the people of Yutang.

A great presence indeed.

However, this great hero had sacrificed much. Perhaps, Supreme Earth could stay in Yutang people's heart eternally, but only as Supreme Earth, not Yutang's eldest prince – Yu Chengtian!

As the most obvious decoration in the room, Yun Yang had seen the calligraphy the moment he stepped into the room. Absentmindedly, he felt a bizarre feeling surge within him, like Supreme Earth was watching him while quietly stood there. It also seemed like the overwhelming aura of Yutang's eldest prince, whose majestic sovereign outshone his royal yellow gown, overlooking the world and his territory.

"Big brother."

Yun Yang called out softly, his emotions running wild.

The four treasures of the study were still placed neatly atop the table. The ink had dried a long time ago, while the brush's tip was parched and hardened like the tip of a spear, gleaming with a vague sharpness.

In contrast to the others, there was not only one will on the table. There were a few letters stacked neatly together.

Yun Yang went over slowly and stretched his arm out to take the stack of letters.

The letter on the top read, "To the brother who enters this room."

The second letter read, "Your son bids farewell, Father."

The third letter. "Your son bids farewell, Mother."

The fourth letter. "My dear wife."

The last letter in sight had a slightly longer message, "Brother, give this letter to Bao'er when he turns twelve."

Yun Yang was shocked when he saw the fourth letter. Supreme Earth had obviously kept a sliver of hope that even when he died, his wife, Supreme Water, might still have the chance to survive.

It was a pity that Supreme Water would never be able to read this letter anymore! She had entered another world alongside her beloved husband…

Unlike the others, Yun Yang could be sure that his third brother Supreme Wood, fifth brother Supreme Flame, and eighth brother Supreme Wind had escaped the fate of death at Tianxuan Cliff due to their unusual parentage while his second brother Supreme Gold might have a chance of survival. However, there was a high possibility that Supreme Earth, Supreme Water, Supreme Blood, and Supreme Thunder had all perished!

From Supreme Wood's letter, it was known that the Nine Supremes' descent to the world was by chance – an unusual destiny that man could hardly manipulate. Even when it could be changed, only one who was far more superior than this world could make a slight amendment – someone like Supreme Wood's father and elders, whose abilities were unpredictably mighty!

In spite of this, Supreme Earth and the rest were not within such a lineup.

Firstly, Yun Yang's seventh brother, Supreme Blood's father, Old Dugu had no such capability. Otherwise, how could he have succumbed to Ouyang Xiaoshe's ploy?

Next, it was his sixth brother, Supreme Thunder, who came from the Bound of Universe. While Lei Dongtian, who also came from the Bound of Universe, was powerful, Yun Yang thought that the Bound of Universe most probably lacked such potent talent after judging the capacity of both worlds. Even if there had been, they could hardly be related to his sixth brother or be willing to exert such effort; after all, his sixth brother had left the Bound of Universe due to his family back then, forming the Nine Supremes right after!

Subsequently, it was Yun Yang's eldest brother, Supreme Earth, and his fourth sister, Supreme Water. Both of them… were certainly people without any weighty descent. There was barely a hope of them surviving.

The so-called cutting of queue lines meant that it could only happen to someone else who had waited in the queue. It was not a complete change of lineup!

Looking at the letter that could never be received, Yun Yang felt as if he had been choked. Coughing, he slowly sat down to open the first letter.

Unfolding it carefully, rows of neat handwriting greeted his sight.

The penmanship was exalted and distinguished, like Supreme Earth's entire lifetime. The phrase 'One's penmanship told of one's character' was never only a saying.

"I was the one who suggested the idea of writing our will. When I was writing this, though, I couldn't help but think; what kind of men and what kind of force will kill us? Our cultivation base isn't high, but the cultivation method we have prevents us from being an easy target. When we do die one day, how terrifying the enemy must be for this sole survivor of ours to face! How massive the pressure he must carry… To the brother who receives this letter, you must do everything after a term of consideration. Do not be impulsive and reckless. Do not have the weakness of being oblivious to the existence of others."
