Cultivation Online - Chapter 1910

Chapter 1910: Family Seal
“Is there anything I can say that will change your mind?” Elder Sun asked, still reluctant to let him visit her family.

Yuan smiled.

“You should know me well enough by now to know the answer to that.”

Elder Sun sighed, “Even if your life might be endangered?”

“I’m sure you’ll protect me.”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Elder Sun said, “Fine, if that’s what you want to do. However, you must accept something from me.”

“Oh? A gift from you? Why would I refuse something like that?”

“In that case, take it.”

Elder Sun suddenly flicked his forehead, the motion swift yet oddly gentle. A warmth spread from the point of contact, washing over him like a comforting embrace.

Although Yuan couldn’t see it, a faint red symbol briefly appeared on his forehead, glowing softly before fading away as if it had never existed. The warmth lingered for a moment before dissipating, leaving behind an inexplicable sensation, as though something had subtly changed within him.

“What did you do?” Yuan asked as he rubbed his forehead.

“I gave you my family seal. It basically recognizes you as someone approved by me. As long as you have that, my family won’t kill you—probably.”

“A family seal?” Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking slightly surprised. “Isn’t that something one gives to someone who joins their family? We’re practically married now.”

“What kind of nonsense is that?” Elder Sun sighed out loud. “Family seals can be given to people outside the family, but only those from the main family are allowed to do so.”

Yuan chuckled, “Is that so?”

Despite Elder Sun’s casual demeanor, the act she had just performed was anything but trivial. Bestowing a family seal was an incredibly significant and meaningful gesture—one that carried deep implications. It was not something given lightly, nor was it an act done on a whim. This was especially true for families with immense influence and reputation. Whether Yuan realized it or not, the family seal symbolized something far greater than mere sentiment.

For the next several days, Yuan would spend all of his time on the Immortal Sun Peak with Elder Sun. They would talk about many things, from their hobbies to their goals in life.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for Yuan and his group to leave the Immortal Monastery.

“I’m going to enter seclusion today, Elder Sun. If you’re not here by the time I come out, I’ll definitely come visit you in the Holy Continent.”

Elder Sun nodded and silently watched as Yuan disappeared from the Immortal Sun Peak.

Sometime later, Yuan and the others went to meet with the Sect Leader.

Outside the Sect Leader’s headquarters, Ji Ran bid them farewell.

“Good luck out there, everyone.”

“You too. Since time flows much faster in this world, it’ll probably be a while for you before we return,” Yuan said.

Ji Ran smiled and replied, “Even if it takes millions of years, it still wouldn’t compare to my time inside the Shadow Realm.”

After saying their goodbyes to Ji Ran, Yuan and the others went inside the building to meet with the Sect Leader.

“Are you all leaving?” the Sect Leader asked.

“Yes.”

“Very well. Once you leave, you will wake up on an island. To leave, you just need to go outside and enter the portal,” said the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader snapped his fingers, and a swirling purple portal materialized before them.

Without hesitation, Yuan stepped forward, entering the portal first, followed closely by Tan Songyun and the others.

The instant they crossed the threshold, their vision went blank. A strange weightlessness overtook them, their senses fading as their consciousness drifted away, much like when a player entered Cultivation Online.

A few moments later, Yuan’s eyes fluttered open. Blinking away the lingering haze, he slowly took in his surroundings. He was lying on a bed inside a modest yet unfamiliar room, the atmosphere calm and still.

Instinctively, he inspected his body, running his hands over himself. Sure enough, he was back in his original body.

Just as he got out of the bed, a notification appeared before him, something he hadn’t seen in years.

<You have received ‘Seal of the Eternal Sun’>

“Seal of the Eternal Sun? Is that Elder Sun’s family seal?” Yuan mumbled.

[Seal of the Eternal Sun: ???]

When he tried to look up its information, there were only question marks. However, what truly surprised Yuan was that the seal had carried over from the other world.

Sometime later, Yuan stepped out of the room and made his way outside. As he exited the building, his gaze was immediately drawn to his surroundings.

He found himself standing atop a small floating island, suspended in the vast sky. A gentle breeze swept past, carrying an air of mystique. However, what truly caught his attention was the sheer number of similar floating islands stretching across the horizon—thousands of them, each seemingly housing other participants.

Yuan attempted to step off the island, but the moment he did, he was met with an invisible force. A barrier surrounded the entire floating island, preventing him from leaving. He pressed his hand against it, feeling a faint resistance—solid yet intangible.

Its purpose was obvious. The barrier was likely there to prevent participants from interfering with one another.

Suddenly, Yuan’s attention was drawn to movement nearby. The door of the adjacent building opened, and a familiar figure stepped out.

It was Lan Yingying.

Her elegant form emerged into the open, her gaze sweeping across the floating islands before finally landing on Yuan.

Lan Yingying waved at him. Her mouth was moving, but Yuan couldn’t hear what she was trying to say.

Yuan pointed at the portal nearby before entering it, disappearing from the island. Lan Yingying followed suit and entered the portal on her island.

After emerging from the other side, Yuan and Lan Yingying found themselves back inside the City of Radiance.

Moments later, Tan Songyun and the others also appeared out of thin air beside them.
