Chapter 378 The Secret Codex of Eternal Night (Part 2)

"The Secret Codex of Eternal Night?!"

Lin Tong seemed to know something about the Eternal Night Scripture, and was quite surprised to hear it from Chen Yuan.

"Are you from the Su family? Or the Samsara Sect?"

"The Eternal Night Manual was discovered by the Su family and the Samsara Sect when they jointly explored an ancient site. The Samsara Sect is another story, but it is almost the core technique of the Su family. However, neither of these families would dare to pass it on to outsiders."

Chen Yuan nodded. Indeed, at this point in time, it was almost impossible for the Eternal Night Manual to be leaked.

But things were different in later generations. There were no family powers anymore; they were all pitiful creatures dependent on gods and demons. Of course, there were a few exceptions. In the human realm, the Samsara Sect was particularly outstanding.

He didn't know how the Samsara Sect managed to stand between gods and demons. He only knew that after the collapse of the heavens, the two realms merged, and the Samsara Sect seemed to have anticipated this and moved directly to a place near the border. One by one, they broke through to the Innate Realm and soared to great heights.

The Samsara Sect was the first to produce an existence comparable to a god or a demon lord. With the help of the Emperor's will, they were practically the number one person below the God King and the Demon King.

"It is indeed the Eternal Night Secret Manual of the Su family."

"But I am neither a member of the Su family, nor could I possibly be a member of the Samsara Sect."

"I have already explained my background to the Demon Lord. It is rather special. All you need to know is that I know the entirety of the Eternal Night Codex."

Lin Tong was speechless. Since Gu Yun already knew, but didn't tell them, it was naturally because she was afraid that Chen Yuan's background would bring trouble if it were discovered.

At this moment, Feng Xian'er, who had been somewhat annoyed, no longer showed any emotion.

The Eternal Night Codex is a codex that can gather the Emperor's will.

Gu Yun seemed to be deep in thought; he felt as if he had heard this name somewhere before.

He spoke up shortly afterward.

"The Su family... Eternal Night Sealing Heaven... is it the Eternal Night Sword Intent?"

"It must be from the Book of Eternal Night."

Gu Yun recalled a small incident that happened on their way to Titan.

Chen Yuan nodded and explained.

"Yes."

"Eternal Night Sealing the Heavens is the concept behind one of the techniques; it doesn't mean that you have to use a sword to execute it."

"The Eternal Night Codex is a system. If one fully learns the codex and comprehends its truth, one can condense the Eternal Night Imperial Will. Even if one does not fully understand it, knowing half of it can still allow one to condense the Eternal Night Sword Will, Eternal Night Blade Will, Eternal Night Fist Will, etc. However, these imperial wills, which are not imperial wills, do not possess uniqueness."

"This is the fundamental reason why the Su family became a dominant force."

Gu Yun said casually.

"So, it seems someone in the Su family has already condensed the Eternal Night Emperor's Will?"

"However, what qualifications did the Su family have to cooperate with the Samsara Sect before?"

"Has no one tried the Samsara Sect?"

As for the Samsara Sect, Gu Yun could not possibly have ignored the number one overlord-level force in this world for so long. It is no exaggeration to say that the Samsara Sect is the overlord among overlords.

"Yes."

Chen Yuan seemed to recall something unpleasant, and his expression stiffened.

"The emperor from the Su family was indeed exceptionally talented. At the time, because the Su family had firsthand information about the ruins, coupled with the confidence of the Samsara Sect, they naturally agreed to explore it together. This did not result in any loss for the Samsara Sect."

"The Samsara Sect obviously did not expect that the Su family had such a genius. Both families obtained the Eternal Night Secret Manual at the same time, but the Su family condensed the Eternal Night Emperor's Will first. The Samsara Sect even intended to recruit that genius from the Su family, since the requirements for entering the Samsara Sect are extremely high."

"But he refused. In the end, he couldn't leave his family. If he had joined the Samsara Sect, perhaps his achievements would have been even greater, and he wouldn't have..."

Chen Yuan didn't continue, but Gu Yun and Xiao Li both understood what he meant.

It must have been something unfortunate that happened after the sky collapsed.

"After that, the Su family used this as the foundation to develop the family, and the Eternal Night Secret Scripture, which could not gather the Emperor's will, was just a book in the library of the Samsara Sect."

"However, the potential of the Eternal Night Codex is very high."

Yunyin seemed somewhat unconvinced by Gu Yun and Chen Yuan's back-and-forth banter, pouting and mocking them.

"If it can't even gather the Emperor's Will, what's the point of practicing it?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The Jin family's Shining Golden Emperor's Will has also been obtained by our Shadow Organization. At worst, I'll just wait until Qing'er arrives and then I'll go and kill that Emperor from the Su family."

Gu Yun spoke in a calm tone, as if he were talking about something that could be done with ease.

This made Chen Yuan feel a little ashamed, but Gu Yun really wasn't trying to show off. He knew about the assassination of the Jin family's emperor and really didn't expect the first emperor to fall in this way.

Chen Yuan was well aware of how difficult it was to kill an emperor.

Many things in this life did not turn out as predicted in the previous life, and it is unknown whether the Su family will still be in trouble by then.

Therefore, amidst this uncertainty, he felt fortunate for Bai Qing'er to have met such a powerful patron in this life.

I hope everything goes smoothly in this life.

Because cracks had already appeared on the Reincarnation Jade, he didn't know if he could trigger a miracle again.

"Na."

"Another risky move?"

Yunyin clearly disliked that Gu Yun always did such distressing things.

"Isn't it better to live a peaceful and stable life?"

A wise man must have a loss if he is worried.

Gu Yun can't always have everything go smoothly, but Yun Yin might worry about the decisions Gu Yun makes, but she never objects to them. She knows that Gu Yun's ultimate goal is never for her sake.

"Qing'er, Qing'er, come here, come here, tell your sister."

"What do you think of the young master your brother found for you?"

"If it doesn't work, I'll change it for you."

Yunyin waved towards Bai Qing'er.

Although she knew that replacing her was unlikely, Yunyin was just trying to find some common ground with Qing'er.

At this moment, Bai Qing'er was sitting quietly in a corner of the hall, listening attentively to Gu Yun's conversation with the adults around her.

She wore a light blue dress and looked like a porcelain doll.

Seeing Yunyin beckoning to her, Bai Qing'er jumped off the chair and walked towards Yunyin on her small feet.

At nine or ten years old, they would be in fourth or fifth grade on Earth—not too old, but not too young either.

I've already learned a lot of lessons, let alone someone like myself who's living under someone else's roof.

They are much more sensible than the average person.

Bai Qing'er admired Chen Yuan, but she was also a little jealous. Although they were about the same age, Chen Yuan could join in the conversation, while she didn't understand anything and could only listen quietly from the side.

and so.

"Sister Yunyin, I think it's great. The tutor that my brother arranged for me must be good."

"and."

"I also think he's amazing, and I'd like to join your conversation like him."

Even something that no one else noticed was noticed by Bai Qing'er.

indeed.

As Bai Qing'er said, a child can talk so calmly and eloquently with everyone. This is beyond what can be encompassed by simply knowing a lot. The person Gu Yun brought must be someone who can catch the eye of the Heavenly Demon. How could he be an ordinary person?
