The game begins with a visit to a holy land, only to discover that one's ancestor was a human e

"Hmm, only take what's suitable, not bad, you've got a good eye." Feng Yuan's words carried a hint of satisfaction.

"With the Qiankun Rebirth healing technique at your side, I can finally rest assured."

The two continued walking along the stone path and chatted for a long time.

"Hmm? People have been bringing gifts these past two days?" Feng Zhi asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, we were spotted by some sharp-eyed people in the mountains that day. They knew we weren't planning on making a big fuss, so they left after giving us their gifts."

The two sat atop the mountain, gazing at the boundless starry sky. To onlookers, they looked like a grandfather and grandson chatting idly.

"You don't need to feel embarrassed at all. This is something that both sides should do. If you ever encounter your fellow human being bullied by other races in the future, just help them out."

The old man showed little expression; he was used to this kind of thing.

"Hmm..." Feng Zhi nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing that he seemed a little absent-minded, the old man casually asked, "What's wrong?"

The wind stopped and a sigh came:

"Sigh, these people are not what I expected. I've been in the Feng family all this time, and no one has come out to provoke me. It's making me itchy to fight, but I have no way to use my strength."

Feng Yuan was speechless, taken aback by the young man's train of thought. He looked at him strangely, his lips twitching slightly.

"Do you want someone to come and cause you trouble?" The old man shook his head.

"Do you think everyone's like that stubborn kid Xun, with the guts to challenge you to a fight?"

Feng Zhi leaned slowly against a rock, his tone carrying a hint of regret that was hard to define:

"But I always feel like something's missing..."

"Shouldn't it be that after I returned to my ancestral home, a few hotheads jumped out to provoke me and I beat them up, and then they brought out the older generation to bully the younger ones and I beat them up too?"

"Then the clan elders were all amazed, and the clansmen were completely convinced."

"After the clans finish fighting, it's time for other forces to come and provoke us."

"For example, Jiang Xi's admirers, because of the rumors that we would be married, thought that some lowly mountain boy dared to blaspheme their goddess. In a fit of anger, they didn't care where they were and took turns coming to challenge her, determined to let her know who she couldn't even dream of."

"And what other prodigies have I beaten up? Their followers, unable to contain their anger, want to seek justice for their idol, thinking that the person must have used some underhanded means..."

"How come on my side, Feng Xun was gone right after he was defeated, and there wasn't even a follow-up kill for him? It makes me seem like I'm just being presumptuous."

After hearing what he said, Feng Yuan remained silent for a long time.

Then he patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Watch less of that nonsense in the future."

Feng Zhi chuckled.

Looking at his expression, Feng Yuan couldn't help but feel helpless: "The admirers and followers you're thinking of... of course they exist."

"The reason those people haven't come looking for trouble with you is because you're at such a high level, so high that it makes people despair, so high that they dare not even have a single thought, dare not even show the slightest disrespect."

"If you are just a rogue cultivator with no background and low cultivation level, you will naturally have endless troubles and no peace."

"But you have the backing of two great emperors, and you possess the imperial physique of my Feng family! Who would dare to be so arrogant? At least no one among the human race would dare!"

Feng Yuan changed the subject: "But you don't need to rush. After the world recovers, there will be plenty of people looking for trouble and plenty of fights to fight. I'm afraid you'll find it too much trouble then."

Feng Zhi touched his nose.

That's true; he's in such a high position that such an absurd thing wouldn't happen.

"Hmm..." The old man seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became a little strange.

"As for the girl from the Jiang family that you mentioned... the Jiang family specially sent an elder to deliver a gift to you."

"What?"

"Tea leaves from the Enlightenment Tree." The old man, unusually unserious, raised an eyebrow at him.

"That's an extremely rare and valuable item!"

"Using this to aid cultivation can slightly increase the speed of cultivation and has a chance to induce a state of enlightenment! It is effective even for beings above the level of saints!"

"In the entire world, only the Jiang family has an Enlightenment Tree!"

"The Enlightenment Tree will only shed nine leaves every hundred years, not a single one more!"

Feng Zhi gradually wiped the smile off his face.

The old man continued, "The Jiang family sent you a box, about 1,100 years' worth. When I saw it, the Daoist aura it emitted seemed to be freshly made."

"This gift is precious, but the sentiment behind it is priceless!" Feng Yuan stood up, and a ring appeared out of thin air in his hand, which he handed to Feng Zhi.

"Everything's here, please put it away!"

Feng Zhi took the ring with a complicated expression, and after a long pause, he finally spoke:

"...Why do I feel like I'm being kept by the Jiang family?"

"Cough!" The old man choked on his words. He patted his chest and said irritably, "...Aren't you ashamed to say that!"

"Last time we received Dao Fruit from the Jiang family, and this time they even specially sent us freshly made Enlightenment Tea."

"If you were really sensible, you should take the initiative to talk to that girl more! Talk about cultivation, and then slowly change the subject."

"Instead of saying things like, 'You're strong, let's fight again next time!' that are so offensive and would completely betray the Jiang family's good intentions."

"...Hmm." Feng Zhi responded, sighing inwardly, "Here we go again..."

this time.

Feng Yuan's parents bring up these things from time to time, and he's become somewhat numb to it. It's clear that even cultivators are afraid of being pressured to get married!

However, the old man was right; the other party's two gestures were too heavy, and they had to return the favor.

Looking at the expression on his face, Feng Yuan knew exactly what the kid was thinking. He shook his head and said, "Never mind, as long as you know what you're thinking."

The old man, holding his cane, sat down again. He looked towards the southern region and said, "Do you know that a couple of days ago, the girl from the Jiang family was ambushed on the edge of the southern region?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhi sat up straight, instantly perking up: "Oh? Who dares to mess with the Jiang family's princess in the Southern Region?"

"They were two assassins at the Purple Mansion Realm. They had no obvious racial characteristics and fought with a life-for-life approach. When they failed, they self-destructed, leaving not even a trace of their primordial spirit behind."

"The Jiang family was furious afterward, but even with the use of imperial weapons, they could not find any trace of which clan it was. They could only confirm that at least two imperial weapons had concealed the cause and effect."

Feng Zhi stroked his chin and looked towards the night sky in the southern region, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he spoke: "Two imperial weapons... the scope of those who can achieve this is actually not very large."

"The gods?"

The old man shook his head slightly: "Not necessarily. It could be the Golden Crow Clan, the Holy Spirit Clan, the True Dragon Clan, or the Phoenix Clan. All of these are possible."

He patted Feng Zhi on the shoulder: "This is the reason why the Jiang family is trying to curry favor with you."
