Chapter 979: Everlasting Moon Couple’s Past (8)

"Life and Death Contract!?" The Lightning Emperor, Lei Yuhuang, exclaimed.

He then asked, "You mean that one cannot enter the black tower without this contract. What is inside the tower and what is the trail inside?"

"Father, this is something I am also not allowed to tell you. Even though I passed the trial, I can only tell you a few things. The trial itself was deadly and losing inside meant death. Only those who caught the eyes of the ancestors might get spared or those who completed the trial can come out alive." Lei Yuya said. "Father has enough strength and you can try it yourself. Even if you don’t get the legacy it is not bad to inherit some cultivation techniques from the ancestor."

"Does this mean you got something from the ancestor for completing the trial?" Lei Yuhuang asked with a face full of anticipation and delight.

Lei Yuya said, "It’s nothing much. Just turning the lightning element into some kind of armor. Though it wasn’t that powerful, it was enough to block an attack of a whole realm above your current one."

"A whole realm above your current realm!?" The current Lightning Emperor exclaimed. Something like this is not something that can easily be found in the Immortal Realm. "Let this old man see!"

The First Prince stood up from where he was seated and activated the Lightning God’s Armor which was passed to the whole clan eventually and in the future it would become something the Lei Clan is famous for. Lei Yuya’s current proficiency with the lightning god’s armor isn’t the best at this timeline and he can barely cover his body with a black armor made from his lightning essences. However, showing the result to his father was enough.

After checking the armor around his son’s body, the more the lightning emperor sees the more he feels the power and advantage of this lightning god’s armor technique. This is something that can be used as protection for their clan during battles and at the same time can be used to help their clan temper their bodies during tribulations as it absorbs lightning to get sturdier.

"Good. Good. Good. What a nice body type cultivation technique. This fits our bloodline the best," said Lei Yuhuang. "Son, is it possible for you to share such a good thing with your family?"

"Of course, father. I had already copied this cultivation technique in this jade for you to use," said Lei Yuya. "It would be better for the father to gain mastery in it first before sharing it to the clan. This time is not easy to learn as you will need a powerful lightning resource to nurture it."

"Wouldn’t it be cooler for father to show it in full armor than a semi-armor like myself," Lei Yuya reminded his father.

After all, as the emperor of their clan, it is only right that he would show the best of everything to the royal family.

The current Lightning Emperor said, "You are right. I will master it first before sharing it to the clan."

Suddenly recalling what his son had just said, Lei Yuhuang was confused about one thing. "You said you had passed the trial but the ancestor didn’t give you his legacy?" He asked.

At this question, Lei Yuya turned serious and said, "Yes. He can only give me something else as a reward. This Heaven-grade cultivation technique, Lightning God’s Armor and a semi-divine grade Black Lightning Execution Spear was given to this son as compensation. He said that even though my talent and bloodline is pure and top-notch, I wasn’t the one he was waiting for."

"Not the one he is waiting for?" The Lightning Emperor frowned as he heard these words. "Did the ancestor say something else?"

"He said that his successor is connected to our family... At first, I thought that it was Lei Yuye and asked him about this. He said that his successor isn’t born yet." Lei Yuya.

These words were enough to say that the Lightning God’s Legacy was meant for their family. It’s just that this powerful descendant is not born yet. But getting this much information is enough for the Regal Lei Clan to know the next plans for their family. The news about the Black Tower’s existence was something enough to make the whole Regal Lei Clan go crazy. After all, that is the trial site for their Ancestor, the Primordial Lightning God. This kind of legacy is what fits their clan and bloodline. That’s why the current Lightning Emperor was delighted to learn that it truly exists. However, it was unexpected that even his most talented eldest son was unable to get the ancestor’s full legacy. This is something he wouldn’t have thought to happen. After all, Lei Yuya was someone who was meant to bring their Regal Lei Clan to its peak.

The current Lightning Emperor said, "There is one last time I wanted to ask you, son. For this question, I wanted to hear your true answer. Son, do you love the Moon Princess enough to willingly give up what you have right now just to marry her?"

The First Prince of the Regal Lei Clan, the famous young master who was known as the Lightning Prince, Lei Yuya upon hearing his father’s question and seeing his serious face, realized that this situation is much more serious than he thought. Then he recalled everything about the woman he loves. The time they had spent inside the ancient ruins. The years he had given up just to actually stay by her side and everything he is willing to sacrifice just to get one smile from the Moon Princess.

Sigh~

"Father, this son is serious about Yue Lili and is willing to give up everything just to be with her!" Lei Yuya said. He stared at his father’s eyes full of conviction and determination.

This is not an easy decision to make. After all, once one left the clan and even abandoned their family name, it wouldn’t be easy to come back. However, the current Lightning Emperor can ensure that his eldest son will not completely lose his standing as Lei Yuhuang’s son. In the future, when Lei Yuye becomes the next emperor of the Regal Lei Clan, he will also not cut off his connection with his brother. There is also a strong marriage alliance with the Ancient Moon Clan in the future. This is not Lei Yuya marrying low, it was an equal marriage that will connect two ancient families as one big clan.

Lei Yuhuang pats his son’s back and then laughs loudly.

"Alright. My good son, this old man will personally accompany the proposed marriage to the Everlasting Moon Empire’s Princess!"

"But father, would the elders even agree? This is me changing my family name to Yue," Lei Yuya asked. This was actually the only thing that prevented him from asking for marriage. He didn’t want his own family line to be ruined because of his selfishness and caused internal strife in his own clan.

Lei Yuhuang said, "No need to worry. This is not a problem at all. Haha~ there is actually something you should know, a marriage between the Lei and Yue was something the elders of the two clans had always wanted. The first arranged marriage between the two clans was actually for this old man and Lao Yue next door. We were originally fiances but as you see we still married the person we truly love. Because of that, the marriage contract between the two clans had been passed to your generations. So no matter what circumstances or whatever conditions must be fulfilled as long as the other half was some from the Moon Clan the whole Regal Lei Clan is willing to agree. The Ancient Moon Clan also accepted this condition."

"So son, your marriage is actually the thickest tie that connects the two families in reality. This is something that our two clans need. After all, those beings from the world beyond are getting crazier. It won’t take long for them to target our cosmos. There is also the divine realm that no one knows when it will open."

"I understand father. I will definitely make sure that both the Yue and Lei Clans will always be the greatest allies in the future," Lei Yuya said.

This is something the first prince never expected. Just how close is the Ancient Moon Clan and the Regal Lightning Clan for them to arrange such a strange marriage contract between two clans. However, it was thanks to this that marrying to the Yue family is no longer a problem but something that is approved by the two clans and all elders. Even if he becomes a live-in son-in-law his clan will not truly abandon him, even though at the surface it needs to be like this. It would be bad if the other ancient clan thinks that the two clans are truly close. Or why else would his father and Uncle Yue start a sparring battle every time they meant. This is to fool the eyes of the old men from the other ancient clan and empire.
