Chapter 95: Chapter 95- Saying Goodbyes

The next day, Sol wore his Alchemy disciple robes and came out of his room with Little Zeel on his head.

As he approached Son’s room a figure appeared in his peripheral vision.

Ha-Yoon appeared at the same time as Sol.

She saw Sol and she released a huff.

Sol could only give a tired smile before pushing the double doors to Son’s room open.

The two then entered to come face-to-face with a completely different room.

The pieces of furniture in the room were no longer shattered, the walls were fixed, and the lingering pungent smell inside the room was gone.

Sol and Ha-Yoon walked curiously towards the opened courtyard and saw Son.

He was well dressed with his hair neatly combed into a ponytail.

The unshaven stubbles on his face were gone as well.

Overall, he looked great.

Sol thought to himself that this was the Son that he first met.

Son turned to the two and smiled.

"Brother Sol, how about a drink?"

Sol returned the smile and nodded before he walked over to sit across from Son.

Ha-Yoon meanwhile, walked to the side and sat at another table.

Little Zeel went over to her table to receive belly rubs.

Son poured Sol a cup of wine and then for himself.

After, he said.

"Brother Sol, I really want to thank you for visiting me. If it wasn’t for you I might have been stuck in this room while drowning in self-pity. Thank you, Brother Sol."

Son raised his cup of wine and downed it. Sol did the same before Son poured him another cup of wine.

Softly, Son asked.

"Brother Sol, are you leaving?"

Son really didn’t need to ask, Sol was wearing his yellow Alchemy robes so it should be obvious.

Sol nodded.

"I am Brother Son, but I’ll be sure to visit you in the future."

Ha-Yoon was heard snorting off to the side while rubbing Little Zeel’s fur.

Son gave her a glance and a smile.

His room was only a few doors away from Sol’s, and Ha-Yoon wasn’t exactly being quiet when she made her proposal.

Not acknowledging his sister’s moody temper, Son turn to Sol and said.

"As promised Brother Sol, I’ll tell you a secret of mine that I’ve been keeping for most of my life."

Ha-Yoon looked over at them, not being able to hide her curiosity.

"Is it about Brother Son’s Innate Dharma?"

Son nodded before he stretched out his hand to the side.

Immediately after, ripples were produced under his palm. Then slowly, an illusory long sword materialized amidst those ripples.

"Brother, this is..."

Ha-Yoon stared at the illusory long sword Son materialized with shock and incredulity.

"Brother Son, so you had twin Innate Dharmas."

"And here I was worried about you not being able to ever cultivate!"

Ha-Yoon suddenly yelled.

Son smiled apologetically.

"I’m sorry for worrying you and Father, but I wasn’t in the right mindset to think about anything else."

"It was no wonder you still had your cultivation even after a year."

Sol said in realization.

Usually, when someone loses their Innate Dharmas their cultivation would slowly crumble.

Sol also realized where those sword marks on the walls came from.

"Brother Sol..."

Son’s call brought Sol out of his examination of the illusory long sword. He turned to Son to see that he was wearing a serious expression.

"You asked why the Demonic Cult was after me, this sword is the reason why."

"It’s an Irregular Innate Dharma?"

Son didn’t respond to Sol but instead turn his attention to his second Innate Dharma.

From the ground, yellow particles slowly emerge to wrap around the illusory sword.

At the same time, the wind picked up in the courtyard to furiously sway the flowers in the surroundings.

Son’s second Innate Dharma was actually an Earth-type Weapon Innate Dharma

It had attributes from two of the three main types of Innate Dharmas.

However, that wasn’t the most shocking part.

Sol saw that the illusory sword was actually taking on a solid form!

When everything calmed down, the sword’s appearance was revealed.

It was completely made of stone. Its handle all the way down its body also had intricate designs of clouds, while a yellow tassel hang loosely from its hilt.

"Brother Sol, even though I haven’t been myself for the past year, I never stopped thinking about something strange. How did the Demonic Cult know that I had an Irregular Innate Dharma? How?"

"Brother Son, if you have this then does that mean..."

Son nodded.

"Those bastards got the wrong Innate Dharma!"

Son actually released a loud laugh after saying that.

Sol smiled, but a thoughtful look appeared on his face as he deduced a few things.

"Brother Son, perhaps their method of finding disciples with Irregular Dharmas only tells them that the disciples have one, but not what it is or anything more detailed."

Son nodded.

"How else would they snatch my first Innate Dharma instead of this one? Even though my first Innate Dharma is Tier 5 and this is Tier 2, I have a feeling my second Innate Dharma is slightly better. Perhaps not now as my cultivation speed is nowhere near what it used to be, but maybe in the future."

Sol agreed with that.

Son’s second Innate Dharma was able to become corporeal without using a technique.

An Innate Dharma goes through its first transformation and becomes corporeal only after one enters the Spiritual Realm.

With Son’s second Innate Dharma already like this in the Mortal Realm, who knows what it could become after he entered the Spiritual Realm?

"Brother Son, what I would like to know is how they stole your Innate Dharma?"

"I don’t know."

Son shook his head.

"I was in a blind rage after Seon was killed. The only thing I remember was feeling something ripped from my soul. I was in so much pain that I completely lost consciousness. However, Brother Sol, I think I was supposed to die then. Maybe they think I would die from my injuries or from their method of taking my Innate Dharma, but I survived; possibly because I had my second Innate Dharma. And Brother Sol..."

Sol saw Son look at him with a serious expression.

"...I can feel it. I can still feel my Innate Dharma that was stolen from me."

"Brother, you can?"

Ha-Yoon who had been silently listening said shocked. Sol also looked surprised at Son’s words.

"Yes, I don’t who has it, or where it is. I might not even be able to find it even if it was right in front of me, but I can definitely feel that it’s still out there, being used by someone else."

Sol silently contemplated Son’s words.

"Brother Sol..."

With a solemn expression, Son got up and bowed towards Sol with cupped fists.

"...Even though we are friends, I could not ask this of you at first. But now I’ve mustered up enough courage to. Please Brother Sol, in the future if you ever find the person who took my Innate Dharma, who murdered Song-Oh and Seon, please ripped them to shreds for me!"

Son’s head lowered even further.

"Is that why you told me about your second Innate Dharma?"

Son nodded while his head was still lowered.

Sol sighed and said.

"Brother Son, raise your head. Even if you did not ask, I would have felt too much anger to just ignore what happened to Sister Seon and Brother Song-Oh."

Son got up and patted Son on his shoulder before adding.

"And besides, you guys are my friends. My Father always told me I should cherish those closest to me."

Son felt like a massive weight had been lifted off his shoulders and tears well up in his eyes.

"Thank you, Brother Sol. I know the burden I’m placing on you is something I should carry myself, but I’m afraid I’ll never be strong enough in this lifetime."

Sol shook his head.

"I’ll come to visit you in the future, okay?"

Son nodded before the two share a hug.

Afterward, Sol called for Little Zeel.

"Goodbye big sister Ha-Yoon."

Snort!

"Who’s your big sister?"

Sol forced a smile before he said goodbye to Son and then left.

After Sol left, Son turned to the still-upset Ha-Yoon and said.

"Are you sure you’re going to let him leave like that?"

"Bah! Who cares about that pervert?"

Son’s expression became serious all of a sudden.

"Ha-Yoon, you should know that Brother Sol isn’t someone ordinary. In the future, only Kings and Emperors can be in his presence. People like us will be forgotten. Even if Brother Sol makes an effort to interact with us, he’ll be too far away from us to truly see us. That is the only reason why I lowered myself and ask him to take revenge for Song-Oh and Seon. He’ll be able to."

"You’re just saying that."

Ha-Yoon retorted, but hesitation had appeared in her heart.
