Chapter 126 Zhang Xiong's Letter
On the way out of the ancestral hall, Zhang Xiong and Zhang Wei, brothers who had not seen each other for decades, walked side by side. Seeing his younger brother's angry face, he advised: "Zijie, don't be too angry."

Zhang Wei shook his head and sighed, "Brother, I'm not angry. On the contrary, I had expected our Zhang family to become like this."

Zhang Xiong was stunned.

"Ok?"

Zhang Wei asked at this time: "Brother, what do you think the so-called family is?"

Zhang Xiong thought for a moment and said, "People with the same surname and bloodline should unite to overcome difficulties and preserve their own big family in this chaotic world."

However, Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "It does have this effect in troubled times, but in essence, the so-called family is actually just a place that uses blood as a connection and human ethics as a shackle to trick a group of unappreciated branch clansmen into cutting flesh and bleeding the main lineage. This situation will be even worse in peaceful years."

Zhang Xiong paused and looked at Zhang Wei in surprise. He didn't expect that his brother would say such outrageous words.

This is the biggest political incorrectness in the family.

But Zhang Xiong did not refute, but not because his brother's strength was the best in the Zhang family.

Zhang Wei turned his head and looked at the Zhang family's land, which had been expanded three times over the past few decades. Its grandeur was no less impressive than the original Yun Kingdom Palace.

But the wall is higher, and it is not as friendly as when the family first opened up...

Zhang Wei recalled what he had seen and heard during his time at the Zhang family, and sighed, "The real beneficiaries of the so-called family are only the first-line bloodlines, and the collateral blood relatives are just the objects of exploitation.

It’s just that compared to outsiders, the people of our Zhang family’s branch clan are a little better off, but that’s only for now…

In a few hundred years, when the number of our Zhang family members reaches hundreds of thousands or millions, it is estimated that many of the collateral relatives will be left on the streets.

By then, the so-called Zhang family will only be a name for them, and they may even live worse than other independent cultivators."

Zhang Xiong was silent and he did not refute, because this kind of thing was already common before the Zhang family became a family of immortal cultivators.

There are many impoverished members of the Zhang family in Luyang County, and most of them are even tenants of their family.

Blood relationship? Same last name?

It’s useless!

I will not show any mercy when it’s time to squeeze you!
Even the main branches of the families have their own calculations.

Family…after three generations gone, how much family affection is left?

"The collateral line is after all"

Therefore, after Zhang Wei broke through the Liu family's formation and destroyed the Liu family's thousand-year-old foundation, he never worried about the counterattack from the Liu family's members who were living outside.

On the one hand, the members of these big families cannot be killed off.

After all, the immortal cultivation family is not a dungeon monster. The whole family, young and old, will stay in the ancestral home waiting for you to kill them all. There will always be family members traveling outside or working in the family's businesses in other areas.

On the other hand, Zhang Wei knew that for most of the collateral relatives, their sense of belonging to the so-called family was not very strong!
After the family is gone, it is true that the business properties relying on the family will be coveted by others, but these properties were not originally theirs.

If he simply sold these properties, even at a low price, he could instantly become a wealthy independent cultivator, and then find a place to hide, and perhaps live a happier life than when he was in the family.

revenge?

nonexistent.

When the family is still there, it's fine for everyone to work together to resist foreign enemies. Now that the family is gone, are you still working for that so-called family?

The family only gives you a few dollars, do you think it's worth it to do this?
As for rebuilding the family?

Let's first let the so-called direct descendants of those branches sort out the relationships between the main and the secondary. A family that doesn't even have a foundation-building cultivator won't be able to provide them with the most basic protection even if they reunite.

Otherwise, why do they say that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

Zhang Wei continued: "I once saw this sentence in a book."

"Do you deserve the surname Zhao?"

"This sentence may also be applicable to some people in the Zhang family hundreds of years later."

Zhang Xiong looked at his brother with a melancholy face, and said hesitantly: "Zijie, you..."

Zhang Wei sighed and said with a wry smile: "Brother... I am already in the late stage of foundation building. I plan to return to Jiexian Mountain Range to attack the Purple Mansion after attending your centenary birthday banquet.

I didn't expect to encounter such a thing just after I came back.

I am very worried that in my lifetime, I will see the Zhang family degenerate and become a so-called family that is only related to me by blood."

Zhang Xiong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh.

"Ugh……"

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Let's not talk about this. I originally came back to celebrate your birthday, but I got so emotional that I did something like this."

"It's funny. I haven't been back for forty years, and a lot of people don't recognize me. As soon as I came back, I gave my entire family a show of strength. I guess a lot of people hate me to death in their hearts."

"They dare!"

Zhang Xiong glared at them and shouted, "A bunch of little bastards who are no more than 40 years old, how could they have experienced your era? Everything they eat and use now was won with your help. How dare you have a problem with you? If anyone has a problem with you, I will expel him from the Zhang family! Let him fend for himself!"

When Zhang Xiong said the last sentence, he shouted it out using his spiritual power, and the younger generations of the Zhang family who were writing self-criticisms in the ancestral hall not far away could hear it.

He shuddered for a moment, then gave up the last bit of hope in his heart and scratched his head as he struggled to write this ten thousand word self-review.

Then Zhang Xiong sighed and smiled bitterly: "Actually, after hearing what you said, I feel that what you did is quite right. The family has developed too fast in recent years, and some family members are impatient. This is a good opportunity to sound a wake-up call for these little bastards!"

"Brother..."

Zhang Xiong reached out and patted his brother's shoulders, which had become much broader, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We two brothers haven't seen each other for decades. Tell me about your experiences over the years!"

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Okay... also call Brother Gu, Fellow Daoist Miao, Sister Qin, and Brother Xiao! We won't go home until we're drunk today!"

"Okay! I'll go get someone!"

Decades have passed, and the two foundation-building cultivators, Gu Man and Miao Ling, are still fine, with not much change.

Xiao Yunshan and Qin Xiaoling, on the other hand, are both over a hundred years old and look very old.

Although he had lived a life of luxury in Canglong Mountain over the years, Zhang Wei still felt a strong sense of decadence from his old friend.

After all, even with the theoretical limit of a Qi-refining cultivator's lifespan of 120 years, Xiao Yunshan and Qin Xiaoling could be considered old.

Maybe... after returning to Maple Forest Mountain for seclusion, when I came out again, my two old friends, Xiao Yunshan and Qin Xiaoling, had passed away...

When old friends meet, there is naturally a lot of greetings.

As they drank and chatted, they shared many of their experiences over the years.

Gu Man and Miao Ling have given birth to two smart twins, a boy and a girl, as they wished. One of them is very talented and has an ice-attributed spiritual root. So Gu Man is trying to send her daughter to Linglong Island for further studies.

With his help outside, his daughter's life in Linglong Island would be easier, and it would also be easier to plan for the foundation-building spiritual essence in the future.

As for his son... he is quite ordinary, but with the care of Gu Man and Miao Ling and the protection of the Zhang family, he will have no problem living a rich and prosperous life in the future.

As for Xiao Yunshan and Qin Xiaoling, although they are old, they are very open-minded.

He took Zhang Wei by the hand and introduced him to his grown-up grandchildren, as well as several of his lovely and clever great-grandchildren.

As for his own son Xiao Ke, after he reached the peak of Qi Refining more than 30 years ago, he went out to travel and look for an opportunity to build his foundation. There has been no news from him for more than ten years...

"Things are different and people are different..."

Zhang Wei felt emotional and drank more at the banquet with his friends.

A month passed like this, and Zhang Xiong's 100th birthday celebration began as scheduled.

This was due to the power of the four foundation-building members of the Zhang family.

A total of twenty-three foundation-building families from the four countries of Chen, Mi, Qi, and Cang sent people to give gifts. Even the Yunshang Sect specially dispatched Master Yunxi, who was already in the middle stage of foundation-building, to come and congratulate and attend the banquet, which gave the Zhang family enough face.

Zhang Wei did not reveal his identity. After all, with the current situation of the Zhang family, if there was another cultivator in the late foundation building stage who was about to become a purple mansion cultivator, the immortal cultivation forces in the nearby countries would probably have trouble sleeping.

Zhang Wei simply called Yunxi over halfway and had a long talk with him. After getting Yunxi and the Yunshang Sect behind him to promise to give the Zhang family certain care, he planned to leave Canglong Mountain.

After finishing his family affairs, he will go into seclusion to prepare for the breakthrough to Purple Mansion!

On a mountain near Canglong Mountain, Zhang Wei said goodbye to his old friends, then rode on Congyun and said to his brother Zhang Xiong: "Brother, I am leaving now..."

In fact, Zhang Wei wanted to keep Cong Yun in the Zhang family as a guardian beast at the beginning, but Zhang Xiong refused, saying that he hoped he would have a helper outside.

In addition, Cong Yun was unwilling to stay in Canglong Mountain, so Zhang Wei had to agree with Zhang Xiong's idea.

"Um……"

Zhang Xiong nodded, and then Zhang Wei was about to leave on Cong Yun. But just as Cong Yun flew into the sky, Zhang Xiong gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and called Zhang Wei back.

Then he took out a mustard bag and handed it to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Xiong said: "Zijie, the journey is long, you just take these things!
But it’s not a good thing, you probably won’t like it, so don’t open it now, wait until you return to that Fenglin Mountain.”

"profound……"

Although Zhang Wei was confused, he still took the mustard seed bag, then rode on Cong Yun and turned into a light and left.

Zhang Xiong stood on the top of the mountain, watching his brother's back disappear into the horizon.

After standing there for a long time, he turned around and left the mountain. At this time, the wind blew, making him feel his eyes a little moist.

It is thousands of miles away from Canglong Mountain.

Zhang Wei did not listen to Zhang Xiong and wait until he returned to Fenglin Mountain to open the mustard seed bag. Instead, he opened it directly on the road.

Sitting on Cong Yun's back, Zhang Wei counted the things in the mustard bag.

Although the Zhang family has developed well in recent years, they have only been prosperous for a few decades. There are not many good things, only some more precious spiritual implants in Zhang Wei's eyes.

But in this mustard bag, Zhang Wei also found a letter.

Zhang Wei opened it and his hands trembled when he saw the contents of the letter.

"My disciple Jie personally wrote:
Zijie, I have thought a lot about what you said to me when you came back that day, and finally decided to write this letter to you.

You have always been a person with strong opinions, and your views on some issues are completely different from those of us old guys. Although it is sometimes irritating, I have to say that you do hit the nail on the head.

Zijie, you are a person of character. You have helped me a lot. You prepared the spiritual essence of heaven and earth for me and Ping'er, led us on the path of cultivating immortals, and made us become foundation-building masters respected by everyone.

Let me and Ping'er be spared the pain of physical aging and let Ping'er and I live a hundred years.

You have brought the Zhang family to a new height. It can be said that the current Zhang family foundation was built by you alone, and we old guys are just picking up the pieces from you.

However, we did not provide you with much help. Even now, after you returned home, not only did you not take the initiative to ask for money and goods, but you also gave many good things to your family members. It can be seen that even now, the Zhang family's help to you is minimal.

You have helped us so much that it makes me, as your brother, feel ashamed.

However, some elderly people in the family are still not satisfied.

In the past few months since you returned home, many elders from the direct lineage have come to me and asked me to ask you to restart the experiment of refining the Spirit Essence of Heaven and Earth, and let you refine the Spirit Essence of Heaven and Earth for their younger generations who have cultivated to the peak of Qi Refining.

At that moment, I suddenly understood.

The so-called family may be something that we must stick to, but for many people, it is nothing more than a shackle.

including you!
You should not be restricted by the greed of some people in your family, but should fly to a wider world.

I know that with my own qualifications, even with your best help, the middle stage of foundation building is my limit.

So one day, my brother will die, Ping'er will turn into dust, but maybe you will still be as beautiful as before.

At that time, when you were facing the unfamiliar Zhang family and encountered difficulties, would you help them or not?

I don't want you to be difficult.

Your children and grandchildren have their own blessings, as well as their own things to face. You must not let the Zhang family become your shackles.

Go and fly freely to see all the beautiful scenery in the world.

But when I'm tired, I'll go home and take a rest...

The road to becoming an immortal is long and difficult, I wish my brother everlasting immortality!
Handwritten instructions from my foolish brothers Zhang Xiong and Zhang Zhongxiu. "

After reading the letter, Zhang Wei slowly let out a breath.

“Brother…”

He couldn't explain what he felt at the moment.

Feeling uncomfortable?
Have.

Is it easy?
There are also.

It's complicated anyway.

"Alas... let go of everything, cut off worldly ties... huh."

Zhang Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly, then patted Cong Yun's neck and asked him to fly faster.

A few days later, Zhang Wei returned to Fenglin Mountain.

As soon as I entered the cave, I saw Chi Lian grinding medicine.

Chi Lian raised his head and was stunned for a moment. He was not surprised by Zhang Wei's return. He just said lightly: "I feel that you are not in a good mood, Master Zhang. What's wrong?"

Zhang Wei paused and thought to himself, Chi Lian, your vision is still as sharp as ever.

He waved his hands and smiled: "Ah, nothing happened..."

Chi Lian put down the pestle, turned around, looked directly at Zhang Wei and said, "Master Zhang, I told you that you can't fool me."

"But this is Mr. Zhang's private matter, so I won't ask you any more questions. Come with me."

After saying that, he stood up and pulled Zhang Wei into the house.

Zhang Wei asked in confusion: "What for?"

Chi Lian asked Zhang Wei to lie down, and then said: "I'll massage your head to relax you."

As he said that, he put his hand on Zhang Wei's forehead and massaged it gently.

Zhang Wei instantly felt a sense of relaxation, his head went empty, and he became lazy.

Only then did Chi Lian ask, "Is it because of family reasons?"

"Um……"

Under Chi Lian's magical technique, Zhang Wei slowly let down his guard and slowly told him about his experience of returning home. Then he said groggily, "Perhaps this is the fate of immortal cultivators like me."

Chi Lian opened his mouth and seemed to say something.

But Zhang Wei could no longer hear Chi Lian's words. He had fallen asleep in a daze under Chi Lian's massage and even made a slight snoring sound, but his brows were still slightly furrowed.

Chi Lian stopped massaging and instead reached out his hand to stroke Zhang Wei's neck. Then he put his hand into Zhang Wei's shirt and pressed twice on Zhang Wei's heart.

Then, Zhang Wei's slightly wrinkled brows immediately relaxed, as if he had had a good dream.

Chi Lian did not leave either. He just stood quietly guarding Zhang Wei, looking at his face for a long time, and finally just sighed.

After Zhang Wei fell into a deep sleep, Chi Lian sat on the bed with peace of mind, cross-legged and began to practice quietly.

Two months later, Qun Yao returned.

Also brought back were a large number of demon materials and the results of the five major sects' revenge war against the demon beasts in the Jiexian Mountains.

The ten-year war finally came to an end, with the coalition forces of the five major sects winning a great victory.

In the final battle, True Man Yulong joined forces with True Man Jishan, True Man Baicao, True Man Xuefeng and Fairy Linglong.

The five Jindan Zhenren jointly set up a large formation, killed two of them, and severely damaged the two Jindan demon kings, which established the situation of the battle in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, the coalition forces were unstoppable and chased the army of monsters for thousands of miles. They were finally stopped by the intervention of a Nascent Soul Demon King in the Jiexian Mountains.

But even so, the coalition forces of the five major sects also captured five second-level spirit veins and thirty-eight first-level spirit veins, which can be said to be a great victory.

At this point, the aftermath of the changes in the Shennong Secret Realm's Heavenly Valley has completely come to an end, and the situation in the entire five domains has returned to calm.

Just like this, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed.

Fenglin Mountain, Sanxian Cave, under the infusion of electricity from the newly developed turbine generator, dense spots of light appeared on Zhang Wei's body.

The light spots spread all over the body, forming a circulation.

hum ---

A buzzing sound was heard, and another spot of light appeared on Zhang Wei's body. Combined with the previous number, there were a total of one hundred and seven!

The turbine generator stopped working and Zhang Wei slowly opened his eyes.

"It's time to break through the Purple Mansion!"
