Chapter 235: Buried Deep in the Heart
The group rested on a small knoll for the night. Lin Yun, however, did not sleep. His heart was filled with boundless yearning for the Green Hero Venerable List, a stage where all the world’s Demon Fiends competed.
"The Green Hero Venerable List... Interesting." With a slight smile, Lin Yun closed his eyes and began his daily cultivation.
Early the next morning, everyone awoke. Lin Yun needed to continue on to the Mysterious Forest, while Wu Tianyuan had to return to the Academy for a period of secluded cultivation to prepare for the Green Talent List in a year’s time.
"Lin Xuedi, Monk and Daoist, we part ways today. Let’s meet again at the Green Talent List," Wu Tianyuan said with a smile, cupping his fist toward Lin Yun and the others.
"Senior Brother Wu, thank you for the fine wine last night. See you at the Green Talent List," Lin Yun replied.
There were no drawn-out goodbyes. Both Lin Yun and Wu Tianyuan were decisive men, and after a simple farewell, they went their separate ways.
Iron Gate Pass was not far now; he could reach it in half a day. As he prepared to return to the place where he grew up, Lin Yun’s heart was filled with a turmoil of emotions.
He longed for his parents, but he was also afraid that exposing his identity would endanger them.
Sighing deeply, Lin Yun decided he wouldn’t stay long in Iron Gate Pass. But since he had come all this way, he had to see his parents. He would be content with even a single glance from afar.
As the silhouette of Iron Gate Pass came into view in the distance, the look in Lin Yun’s eyes shifted, but he quickly concealed his feelings.
After showing his Identity Token from Yanhuang Academy’s Genius Class to a guard, Lin Yun entered Iron Gate Pass with ease. Within Yanhuang Country, the status of a Genius Class student was practically an all-access pass.
Walking through Iron Gate Pass, he found it was just as he remembered. Soldiers were everywhere, far outnumbering the civilians.
