Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 229 All-Desert

Wow! This letter is actually addressed to me!

The boy's face flushed with excitement, and he jumped up like a joyful little bird.

His bright eyes sparkled with surprise, and he gripped the letter tightly in his hands, as if afraid it would suddenly disappear.

At this moment, Mo Yuming stood quietly outside the window, the sunlight shining on him, creating a warm scene.

He silently watched the excited boy inside, a knowing smile playing on his lips. That smile held both affection for the child's innocent charm and a hint of regret for not being able to be by his side.

"Siming, my dear nephew, I am your uncle."

Your uncle is overjoyed to hear that you are an extremely intelligent and well-behaved child! It's just a pity that we live so far apart, and the journey is difficult and transportation is inconvenient, so your uncle really can't find the time to come back and visit you. I hope you won't blame your uncle!

However, to reward my clever and lovable little Siming, Uncle has to secretly tell you a huge secret. This secret must never be known to a third person; it belongs only to the two of us.

There is a hidden secret in my uncle's study. Behind the bookcase next to the desk, there is a secret room.

You can discover a hidden button by gently moving the small, exquisite deer statue in the bookcase.

When you press that button decisively, something magical will happen—the bookshelf will automatically open a door, and behind that door is the entrance to the secret room!

As for the key to open the secret room, it was hidden inside the deer's belly.

Just gently nudge the deer's hind leg with your little hand, and the key will obediently fall out of its belly. How about that? Isn't it fun? Once you find the secret room, be sure to explore it thoroughly; you might even discover some unexpected surprises!

There are lots of treasures hidden inside! Your uncle is giving them all to you! But there's one condition: for now, all these treasures must be kept in this secret room and cannot be taken out. You can only play here to your heart's content.

You will be eligible to remove and use them when you turn fourteen.

But please remember this: if you dare to break this agreement, your uncle's lab key will never be given to you, Siming!

Oh, right, there's something else very important I need to tell you.

Behind the bedside table in my uncle's bedroom, there is a mysterious safe.

The combination to open this safe is made up of your great-grandfather's and mother's birthdays.

You must wait until your mother's birthday to quietly tell her this secret. Remember, you must tell her alone!

As long as we strictly abide by this agreement, then in ten years, your uncle will definitely give you an even bigger surprise!

"My dear child, you must listen to your mother. Only then can you grow into a truly talented and remarkable person, someone who can protect your mother and give her a happy and peaceful life..."

The little boy read the letter carefully, word by word, his excitement evident.

Mo Yuming no longer had time to watch what actions would follow; he was content to see his sister living a happy life.

Mo Yuming flew rapidly toward the moon. He felt increasingly weak. He was afraid that if he delayed even a second longer, he would not be able to fulfill his last wish. The planet held the people he cared about most, so he was willing to protect them with his life. Now that he had unexpectedly returned to Earth and happened to encounter this huge danger, he made a decision that even he felt had little chance of success.

Mo Yuming quickly returned to the spaceship and sat down in a chair, feeling extremely tired.

His entire body felt like it was about to fall apart. Mo Yuming stared motionlessly at the control panel in front of him, at the transparent pillar that the tablet referred to as the Soul Pillar. The light within the pillar had increased significantly, and the movement had accelerated. The images on the displays below the pillar were also changing rapidly. All of this could mean that the spaceship had been activated and was performing calculations; it could also mean that the tablet had input some instructions before its final destruction, but due to the interruption, the spaceship hadn't truly started; or perhaps the spaceship had received information from other crew members and was communicating.

Mo Yuming was extremely anxious. If this external threat couldn't be eliminated, Earth could suffer a devastating blow, possibly even being destroyed. Then, there wouldn't even be a last memory left.

Mo Yuming tried to use the experience he had gained from communicating with the tablet to guide his soul power to communicate with the soul pillar.

With each attempt and each failure, Mo Yuming's soul power grew weaker and weaker. At this point, Mo Yuming could no longer sense his own human form. In his own perception, his hands and feet had disappeared, and only a small section of his torso remained.

A sea of ​​consciousness felt like it was being torn apart. His nerves were on the verge of collapse, and the sword pellet hidden within his consciousness had already fallen to the ground.

"It still doesn't work. Perhaps I could have achieved it when I was at my peak, but in my current situation, it's probably beyond my power. Am I just going to disappear like this?"

Mo Yuming felt increasingly desperate, and even considered giving up and letting things take their course. With a dazed look in the hall, Mo Yuming finally saw the Soul Sword Pill that had rolled over next to the control panel. This was his first weapon of his own, given to him by the Ji family to thank them for saving him. It was also a spiritual weapon that Ji Xianlin had accidentally obtained while adventuring in the martial world.

Seeing the sword pellet, Mo Yuming, after despair, had a desperate idea. Mo Yuming no longer had the strength to try, and he didn't even have the chance to try one more time.

"Farewell, little sister, Siming, Xiaoxiao, and the lovely old men!"

Mo Yuming mustered his remaining soul power, picked up the soul sword from the ground, enveloped all his soul power in the sword, and charged towards the soul pillar in the hall.

"Huh? Where am I? How am I still alive? Am I in hell? Or have I transmigrated again? Don't souls perish?"

Mo Yuming slowly opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a bright light. All around him was a vast expanse of white, and various colored orbs of light floated in the air.

"I'm not dead yet, but where am I?!"

Mo Yuming suddenly saw the Soul Sword stuck in front of him and immediately realized that he was not dead, because the Soul Sword was real.

"Could it be that the final blow really shattered the soul pillar, and I was thrown into another dimension?"

Mo Yuming looked around and found that there was nothing in this space except for the light clusters floating in the air.

"This space seems to have many special auras. My soul is constantly stabilizing and strengthening. There are even substances that enhance soul power. I don't think I've ever heard of such wondrous spiritual energy that can directly replenish soul power in the Tianxuan Continent!"

Mo Yuming sat on the ground in surprise, recklessly absorbing the special spiritual energy. Slowly, the remaining head of the soul body became more solid and dense. Soon, a neck appeared, followed by the torso and limbs, which gradually grew back.

Mo Yuming discovered that his soul power was continuing to increase. The area was a vast expanse of white, and he didn't know how much time had passed, nor what the outside world was like. Seeing his fully recovered soul body, Mo Yuming was overjoyed. He picked up the soul sword and placed it in his sea of ​​consciousness to nurture it. Then he began to explore this space.
