The Legend of Min Hong

In a nutshell, Min Hong felt savagely inferior on every possible front…

But knowing that this was just him in the future, he boldly stretched his hand forward and touched the figure on its forehead, as the figure began to get sucked through the centre of Min Hong's palm into Min Hong's mental figure...

The more this figure shrunk, the more Min Hong's strand of consciousness became whole, and the more the crown itself shrunk…

Then when Min Hong completely absorbed the 'Dawn Sovereign' bloodline spirit aura, the crown reduced to the size of his head and then fell on it…

The moment this crown fell on Min Hong's head, Min Hong's mental figure underwent a massive transformation as a similar but more tangible Imperial robe formed around Min Hong and the 'Imperial Edict' seal on Min Hong's palm resonated with every inch of Min Hong's consciousness…

Min Hong gripped his mental fist and felt the amount of power coursing through him, and then;

Boom!

Min Hong threw a single fist strike, and a dragon split out of his robes as a copy of the 'Imperial Edict Seal' split from the original one on Min Hong's palm before smashing into the altar chipping off over six runes at once whilst leaving a glaring dent on this altar…

The energy barrier trapping the Sirena bloodline spirit flickered slightly as she stood up and touched the energy barrier like a horny wife looking through the window at her husband who just arrived…

Min Hong gripped another fist and threw it at the altar as an ape jumped off his robes before enlarging in the blink of an eye, and after hitting its chest and roaring deafeningly at the roof, it smashed its giant fist onto the altar...

This time around, the altar had over a dozen of its runes chipped off as the energy barrier flickered more intensely before going back to normal, albeit a little dimmer than before…

Min Hong then paused slightly as he noticed that the runes which had been chipped off earlier were beginning to regenerate itself, and then he saw the sirena fall atop the altar, and that was when he realized that there was a formation atop the altar itself which was draining the power of the sirena and using it to regenerate the runes around the altar…

In less than a minute, two of those runes had restored themselves whilst the sirena felt weaker and more lethargic with each restored rune…

"Damn it, this is more difficult than I had anticipated…"

Min Hong in the outside world blurted through gritted teeth as Little Fei responded;

"I didn't expect less from a Diamond Tiered Seal… In fact, something is telling me that is not all there is to this seal…"

"What do I do?" Min Hong asked, he really needed every idea possible at this point…

"There is only one way I can think of at the moment; and that is to destroy these runes at a faster rate than they can restore themselves…"

"Wouldn't it kill her?"

Min Hong asked as his mental figure looked over at the sirena who was within the energy barrier, who was having a yearning expression on her face, like she can't wait to reunite with her long lost lover…

"If you are faster than the restoration rate of the seal, though she might get fractured or injured, she would definitely have time to recover if she is being purified by the ancient aura from the 'Realm of Creations'…" 

Little Fei responded, and as Min Hong was about to return to battering the entire altar, Daniel bellowed;

"Wait!"

"Do you have an alternative solution?" Min Hong asked…

"All seals are majorly meant to keep something trapped within or trapped outside, right?"

"Yes…" Little Fei answered.

"Alright, but if something can't get out of a seal, then doesn't that mean something can only enter but not leave?" Daniel spoke with his brows furrowed in thought…

He was not sure about his theory as well, it was more like a suggestion they had to experiment on and only find out the its validity after the result had occurred which means, if it doesn't work, then Min Hong's mental fragment would be trapped alongside the sirena bloodline spirit till they can be saved or rescued from the seal…

"So, you are telling me to get myself trapped within a seal of this level?"

Min Hong asked with a slight frown as he glared at Daniel;

"Not really, I only thought we might be able to build a solution from this idea of mine…"

Min Hong's frown deepened and as he was about to leave, Little Fei who had been silent in thought stopped him;

"He does have a point, you know?"

"Really, are you also asking me to get myself trapped?"

Min Hong thought was still angry, he spoke to Little Fei with a softer tone, and that signifies how valuable they viewed Little Fei and his opinions…

"If you can slip into the seal, and plant your 'Imperial Edict Seal' on the formation draining the sirena's power, I believe that formation will be disrupted, and rendered much less effective…."

"…which means the rate at which it sucks energy from both I and the sirena would be greatly reduced and hence, the rate at which the runes are restored would even be furtherly reduced…"

"That's a good idea, but since I will also be trapped within that seal, who would be attacking the seal from the outside?"

Min Hong began to realize the feasibility of this idea as his frown of fury vanished to be replaced by a frown of seriousness…

"I will go with you…" Daniel volunteered as Min Hong looked at the duo, now with a frown of suspicion…

"Why are you guys very particular about this method?" Min Hong asked as he looked at the duo with a scrutinizing gaze…

This would be a perfect opportunity to get rid of him for life should they have an ulterior motive behind their solution…

"You will just have to trust us…"

Little Fei spoke absentmindedly still thinking deeply about the success rate of this solution of theirs, whilst Daniel was simply awaiting Min Hong's response…

After a brief thought, Min Hong realized that, the success of this mission would ensure Min Qing would have a much easier road on the path of cultivation for the rest of her life...

Furthermore, should these guys have any harmful thought towards him or Min Qing, he was sure that though it might take a long while, but at least, Shen Bing or Little Wu would come looking for him, if he doesn't pay them his usual visit...

Or if it was time to take the Nascent Soul trial within the 'Pagoda of Ascension' and Daniel or Little Fei shows up instead of him, and even if Little Wu was dumb enough not to suspect anything, he was sure that his Old Man Li would suspect something was wrong…

Though, he trusted these guys in front of him, he wasn't just dumb enough to place his uttermost trust in them, but he didn't have any other choice but to go ahead with  their suggestion…

Furthermore, this would determine if he would have to obliterate them both when he returns if they betray him, or they would actually stick with him like always and gain another level of his trust, thus, his frown vanished as he replied with an helpless sigh;

"We have come all this way together, it would be unfair on my part, if i am still having trust issues towards you guys…"

Then he revealed a genuine smile as he spoke to Daniel;

"You already know how strong that seal is, we have to gather enough power to do this, and all this without waking her soul…"

"You guys just focus on breaking the seal, leave the waking of her soul and everything else to me…"

"You guys have to succeed at this, both bloodline spirits will be heavily relying on the success of this mission…"

Little Fei warned and reminded them of what the benefits and the stakes of their mission was, as he went quiet and left the Min Hong and Daniel duo to figure out the rest on their own…
