Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 97 In the past, Wen Zhong conquered the North Sea, slaying sixteen powerful demon kings, but he carried a lifelong regret.

A thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend. 🐼♡ ❻9şĤǗＸ.ⓒόⓂ 🍮♪

They drank from late at night until dawn the next day.

That night, Lord Wu'an didn't seem like Lord Wu'an at all; he was more like an innocent junior brother who had been away from his sect for a hundred years.

He took his senior brother's hand and began to talk about the bridge over the Hao River and the old stories of the two sages. Overwhelmed with emotion, he couldn't help but sing a long song.

That night, Prince Fusu had his eyes opened wide. He learned what it meant to have a heaven beyond heaven and a person beyond person. Even the seemingly insurmountable mountain, Lord Wu'an, the pillar of the state, had a mountain before him.

That night, Qin Feng gained a new uncle, though he was a cousin, but blood is thicker than water.

"I'm leaving! I have to go back to the morning court session. Senior brother, please wait!"

"Take care, junior brother!"

"Uncle, Qin Feng, please wait! Fusu takes his leave!"

At the entrance, Qin Feng watched as Lord Wu'an and Prince Fusu departed.

My uncle, hands behind his back, watched the two men's retreating figures and muttered, "That guy got another free drink from me!"

Upon hearing this, Qin was instantly thrown off guard. Uncle, that was Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, the Pillar of the State!

He's lucky to be able to drink our wine, how could he possibly ask for money!

My uncle paced back and forth toward the research warehouse. "Bring out that 'unethical' machine of yours so I can take a look."

Qin Feng said, "My mecha is called [Wu De]."

The uncle glanced at Qin Feng and asked, "Do you have any martial ethics?"

Qin Feng thought for a moment, "There is some, though not much. Uncle, this way."

The mech's hatch slowly opened, revealing the [Wu De] mech standing majestically in the center, radiating brilliant light. From below, it resembled an ancient general and war god.

Qin Feng proudly pointed to his [Wu De Hao] and kept showing off to his uncle, "How about it, Uncle?"

After examining it for a moment, my uncle remarked, "The imitation is too obvious! It has the form but not the substance!"

This was the first time Qin Feng had heard someone comment that his mecha was no good.

Since the appearance of the [Wu De Hao], everyone who has encountered it has praised its Ancient God Flow mechs, even Gongshu Ban.

In Qin Feng's eyes, you can say I'm not good enough, but you can't say my mecha is not good enough!

Uncle Qin seemed to sense Qin Feng's dissatisfaction. He approached the [Martial Dao] mech and said to himself, "I've seen a real ancient god mech, even though it was just a broken shell, the shock it gave me hasn't faded to this day!"

"Your mecha's appearance is similar to that of the Ancient God Mecha, but its internal structure lacks the essence of the Ancient God Mecha."

"However, the fact that it even has the form shows that your skills are quite good. Nowadays, many people are making simplified versions of classic mechs, completely lacking in craftsmanship!"

"Although your mecha looks like it was hastily made and has many flaws, it shows craftsmanship. You must have conceived a lot beforehand. The architecture and core design have a lot of room for upgrades. If you are lucky enough to encounter an ancient god mecha in the future, the potential for modification of your mecha will be limitless."

Qin Feng, arms crossed, followed behind his uncle. "Uncle, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."

The uncle said, "Then don't ask."

"I think it's better to ask," Qin Feng said. "I'm still very curious about the origins of our race. According to history books, with the death of Wu Geng, the last descendant of the Human King, the supercontinent shattered, and a new cosmic era began!"

"History clearly states that the bloodline of the Human King has ended, so logically the Zi surname should have died out by then! How come you and my mother both have the Zi surname now?"

"If we were all truly royalty, the supercontinent shouldn't have collapsed back then!"

Uncle sat on the feet of the [Wu De] ship, looking at Qin Feng's curious expression, "First of all, the question of the supercontinent's collapse is very difficult. The only people in the world who can truly answer you are probably the Zhou royal family."

"Secondly, regarding whether we are of royal blood, I can tell you very clearly, we are! Moreover, our bloodline is, in some ways, even closer to royal lineage than that of Shang Tang. ★🎁 ➅➈𝐬𝒽𝕦χ.ℂσм 🐉♝"

Qin Feng's eyes widened. "Shang Tang was a human king, and the bloodline of a human king isn't even as legitimate as ours. How is that possible?"

My uncle sat there chuckling and said, "What's the rush? Sit down and let me tell you slowly! Our family history is quite long."

Qin Feng sat down to one side.

My uncle raised his right hand, and several golden shadows appeared in the air in front of him. He counted them carefully and found there were exactly eight.

My uncle said, "The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were the legitimate rulers. The Xia and Shang dynasties were, in the end, just a succession of power among the bloodlines of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

"At that time, the world was divided into two major parts and eighteen smaller parts. The two major parts were the Jiuli of the North Sea and the Yanhuang tribes."

"The Nine Li of the North Sea is a vast territory, divided into nine regions, collectively known as the Nine Li. It is inhabited by numerous ethnic groups, mainly the Dongyi people, including the Northern Xiongnu, Southern Man, Western Rong, the Kingdom of Qingqiu, the Mountain of Zhulong, the Kingdom of Kuafu, and other forces. It once gave birth to Chi You, a great military strategist, who fought against the Yanhuang tribe for an unknown period of time. After Chi You was defeated, the Nine Li of the North Sea made peace with the Yanhuang tribe and accepted the leadership of the Yanhuang tribe."

"Since then, the Dongyi tribe began its second wave of development. During this period, the Hao clan of the Dongyi tribe at the foot of Kunlun Mountain gave birth to Shao Hao, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and Haotian, the ruler of the Heavenly Court!"

"Just as the Dongyi tribe was thriving, a major event occurred in the Yanhuang tribe. Yu's son changed the world to a family-run world. For a time, countless powerful members of the Yanhuang tribe expressed their opposition, but Xia Qi had already become the human king, wielding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and the human race was invincible."

"Those Yanhuang masters who were not convinced by Xia Jun and Xia Qi migrated to the Jiuli in the North Sea and made peace with Shao Hao. Shao Hao promised them a place to live, and it was at this time that our ancestors broke away from Yanhuang and went to Jiuli."

"At the end of the Xia Dynasty, Jie of Xia was tyrannical and cruel. Tang of Shang launched the Battle of Mingtiao. This battle completely destroyed the Xia Dynasty and established the Shang Dynasty."

"At this moment, Tang of Shang re-established his status as the human king, proclaimed his royal power to the four seas and eight wastelands, and announced the unification of the four seas, including the Jiuli."

"The Dongyi people, as a group that lived in a remote corner of the country, celebrated the events of the Yanhuang tribe, but rejected Shang Tang's demand to unify the Dongyi and Jiuli tribes."

"This move displeased King Tang, but he did not say much. At that time, the Shang Dynasty was newly established and faced many difficulties."

"This incident caused a huge conflict, and the Shang Dynasty began to besiege the North Sea, which lasted until the end of the Shang Dynasty."

"At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Grand Tutor Wen Zhong led the Four Heavenly Kings and a million-strong army in a five-hundred-year-long battle at the North Sea!"

"In the past five hundred years, heroes have emerged one after another in the North Sea, among whom Yuan Futong, the Great Ancestor of the Demon Clan, is the most famous. When Wen Zhong first arrived, Yuan Futong set up a great formation to confront Wen Zhong for a hundred years, and repeatedly suppressed Wen Zhong!"

"Wen Zhong had no choice but to invoke his ancestral master. The ancestral master confronted the demon clan's great ancestor Yuan Futong, calculated the destiny of heaven, and the great ancestor was defeated! He was forced to ascend to heaven!"

"After the great ancestor of the demon race, Yuan Futong, ascended to heaven, Wen Zhong came again! This time, Wen Zhong went all out and killed sixteen great demon kings in one go. For a time, the people of all races inside and outside the Dongyi tribe were in a state of panic."

"At this time, the powerful Yanhuang warriors residing here decided to abandon their neutral stance and confront Wen Zhong. First, the descendants of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang appeared, followed by the descendants of Zhuanxu, Shennong, Nuwa, Fuxi, and others. Finally, our ancestor also came out, and finally managed to quell the situation!"

"Our ancestor and Shang Tang traced their lineage back to Emperor Ku, one of the Five Emperors. Shang Tang's royal bloodline could suppress others, but it could not suppress our ancestor, who was his own kin!"

"Wen Zhong fought a great battle with his ancestors for four hundred years. During this time, several ancestors came and went, but each one was a remarkable figure. They managed to stop Wen Zhong, who had slain sixteen powerful demon kings, and save the various tribes of Dongyi from peril!"

"Wen Zhong would not be defeated. He firmly believed that even if our ancestor was a descendant of Emperor Ku, our people would eventually be wiped out. At that time, under the banner of the Human King, the various tribes of the Eastern Yi would have no other way out but to submit!"

"If we can hold out this long, all the sources of chaos in the North Sea—the descendants of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the tribes of Jiuli and Chiyou—will come to an end!"

"However, that time is drawing near. Back then, our clan had less than a palm's worth of the bloodline of our ancestral master. Once everyone was wiped out by Wen Zhong, and the descendants of Emperor Ku were extinguished, Shang Tang would become the sole heir of Emperor Ku. With the destiny of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the might of the Human King, he would surely sweep across the eight wastelands and rebuild the world! He would create a magnificent and prosperous era that even the Xia capital dared not imagine!"

"However, Wen Zhong was determined to quell the chaos, but fate was against him!"

"At this moment, Ji Fa, the son of the Marquis of Xibo, suddenly rebelled against the Shang Dynasty and launched a campaign against it!"

"Chaoge is in grave danger. Wen Zhong had no choice but to sign a treaty with our ancestors, stipulating that on the day he dies, the Great Shang will no longer enter the North Sea, and the North Sea will not be allowed to enter the Great Shang!"

"Beihai was no match for the Shang Dynasty to begin with, and the Ancestor was well aware that Wen Zhong hadn't gone all out of consideration for Emperor Ku's bloodline and the Yanhuang tribe, so he readily signed the contract!"

"Wen Zhong returned to defend Chaoge City. What happened after that should be clearly written in history books. The Marquis of Xibo, with a new generation of divine mecha and magical artifacts, defeated the gods and powerful figures of the ancient god civilization, ended the Shang Dynasty, and established the Zhou Dynasty."

"However, here's the interesting part: after the Zhou Dynasty was established, it was also at a loss regarding the North Sea!"

"As a holdout that has existed since the time of the Yellow Emperor, it outlived the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, and it's still standing there!"

"Given the circumstances at the time, the Zhou Dynasty had just been established and should not have been fighting against Beihai! Beihai had been besieged by Wen Zhong for many years and had no spare strength to fight against the Zhou Dynasty. Neither side had the conditions for war."

"However, the actual situation was quite the opposite. The Zhou Dynasty's acquisition of the throne was illegitimate, and even the Zhou emperor dared not call himself the King of Men! This caused the people of the world to look down on it. At this time, the Zhou Dynasty also had a powerful army of divine mechs, creating immense military pressure. So Ji Fa had an idea: if he could conquer the North Sea, which no previous dynasty had been able to conquer, then the world would recognize the Zhou Dynasty! So he launched an attack on the North Sea!"

"At this moment, the Ancestor of the North Sea was also furious. Although King Zhou was cruel, he was ultimately a descendant of Emperor Ku. We all shared the same ancestor. In fact, in terms of branches, our lineage is the main line, while the bloodline of Shang Tang has no legitimate lineage with us! We are the royal brother clan of Shang Tang. Our conflict with Shang Tang is a brotherly conflict, but you, Ji Fa, forced King Zhou to his death, committing treason by killing your master! What right do you have to slaughter my bloodline of Emperor Ku's brother! I haven't even come after you yet, and you've come after me! Naturally, the Ancestor of the North Sea would not let Ji Fa go, and the North Sea began fighting with the Zhou Dynasty again."

"When the two sides made their move, it was a bloody battle to the death. Neither side held back. Both were determined to annihilate the other, and neither side wanted to survive."

"This battle has exceeded all expectations of previous battles. In the past, when Beihai was facing Xuanyuan, Xia Qi, Shang Tang, and Shang Zhou, the idea was to preserve its roots and develop. But this time, it is a fight with all its might, with the entire clan going up against the enemy."

"King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, misjudged the situation in the North Sea, but he was now in a difficult position and had no choice but to mobilize all his resources to fight a decisive battle against the North Sea!"

At this point, even Qin Feng, who was listening, took a deep breath. Oh my god!

Ji Fa, you are truly brave!

Three generations of holdout residents, you can go all in!

Qin Feng asked, "And then?"

My uncle sighed, "Later, I don't know either. This battle was fought in a very confusing way. In the end, Ji Fa was defeated, his third brother took over, Jiang Ziya ascended to heaven, and those ancient god mechs that ended the history of the gods disappeared. As a price, those stubborn strongmen in the North Sea also disappeared without a trace!"

"The Zhou Dynasty almost wiped itself out in that battle; they weren't even able to eliminate Wu Geng's lineage!"

"If it weren't for Ji Gongdan, the younger brother of Ji Fa, who brought about the dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty would surely have perished. Unfortunately, the Zhou Dynasty was not destined to end. The Duke of Zhou, by spating out his food to welcome guests, won the hearts of the people!"

"The Zhou Dynasty should be established. Seeing that there was no chance of turning the tide, Wu Geng decided to self-destruct the supercontinent so that everyone could die together."

"The new universe has arrived, the Zhou Dynasty still exists, and the North Sea is still not destroyed! The North Sea and the Zhou royal family are still sworn enemies! I even suspect that the deaths of my father and your grandfather were related to the Zhou royal family."

"But my father said in his will that our clan is too small, and if we continue fighting, we will die out. He wanted us to have an heir so that we could fight."

"According to the genealogy, the lineage of Emperor Ku of the Beihai royal family had only two offspring in my father's generation: my father Ziqiu and your maternal grandfather Zichun."

"Looking at it now, our family is quite large. Including your mother, there are already three known members in our lineage! If your parents work hard, or even if you work hard, our lineage might even prosper!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng sighed deeply, "This part of history is truly long and tedious! They clearly shared the same ancestor as Tang of Shang, yet they fought the Shang Dynasty to a standstill, and after the Shang Dynasty fell, they sought revenge! In the end, they were all wiped out!"

The old man jumped off the mecha's leg and asked again, "Did Ying Zheng send you any treasures?"

Qin Feng hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty? Is it necessary for Your Majesty to send me treasure?"

"Of course it's necessary," the uncle said. "Ying Zheng's ancestor, Ying Zu, once obtained a magical weapon particularly suitable for you, called the Mountain and Sea Whip. This whip is said to have been inspired by the God-Slaying Whip of Taigong, which Zhou Gongdan observed, and ordered Lei Zhenzi to forge it. It is said that this whip has some of the power of the God-Slaying Whip, capable of chasing mountains and seas, and suppressing a world! Back then, Ying Zu relied on this whip to take King Mu of Zhou to meet the Queen Mother of the West, which created a beautiful story!"

Qin Feng followed his uncle's footsteps, "Queen Mother of the West? Uncle, no offense, but it's the new universe era, does this Xikunlun still exist?"

The old uncle didn't turn around, but chuckled and said, "West Kunlun has always been there, East King Mountain has always been there, and even the Heavenly Court has always existed."

"My silly nephew, if you used your brain even a little, you wouldn't have asked such a stupid question!"

"If the supercontinent explodes, ordinary humans and feudal lords can survive, so how could those gods and demons, who are even higher than feudal lords, possibly die!"

Qin Feng asked, "Then why don't they show up? Don't they need offerings anymore? Or are they already living quite comfortably thanks to the dragon veins that caused the supercontinent to collapse?"

Uncle looked up at the sky and said, "These secrets are also the secrets that the masters want to know. Every expert who has reached the tenth realm wants to know what's going on here."

Qin Feng looked at his uncle expectantly, "Uncle, what realm are you at?"

The uncle said, "Me? My strength is unknown; I become stronger when facing stronger opponents!"

Qin Feng persisted, "Is it an eleventh-realm saint?"

The old man said irritably, "Do you think eleventh-realm saints are like cabbages? Saints are just scattered everywhere?"

"You brat, have you gotten so flattered that you've lost your mind? People say you'll be a saint someday, and you really believe you are?"

"Let me tell you, you're nothing but rubbish! In my and Bai Qi's eyes, far too many geniuses like you have died young!"

"Stop thinking about some random saint or whatever! First, figure out how to keep a low profile and hide your little bit of luck!"

"Don't wait until your luck runs out, then you'll be in real trouble, even drinking water will be a problem! You'll be truly finished!"

Qin Feng said, "I have a totem dragon; it can suppress my fortune!"

"Bullshit!" Uncle said. "That thing isn't even an adult yet. An underage dragon is just a money-loser; it'll only eat your lifeblood!"

"Don't argue or glare at me! The most skilled beast tamer in the world is the Chi You tribe of the Jiuli, the warriors of the Eastern Yi. Our lineage, led by Emperor Ku, has long resided in Jiuli, and we are also adept at beast taming. No one in the world understands these trivial matters of totems better than me!"

"You're now entangled with the totem dragon; there's no way you can get rid of it. All you can do now is lie low and keep a low profile. A low profile is the only way to ensure your long-term survival!"

Qin Feng was scolded like a grandson, "Yes, kid, I'll definitely keep a low profile."

The uncle thought for a moment, then took out a letter from his pocket. "Your mother wrote you a letter. Take a look at it yourself!"

Qin Feng said, "Uncle, so you found my mother! How is she doing?"

My uncle said, "They're doing better than you! I'm going to bed now, you can watch it all you want!"

The uncle dropped the letter and turned to head towards the bedroom.

Qin Feng hurriedly took the letter and carefully opened it.

And sure enough, the handwriting on it was my mom's familiar handwriting.

"My son, receiving this letter is like receiving a mother's love; I miss you dearly."

"During this trip to Xianyang, you won three championships and ranked first in three categories. Your father and I witnessed every moment of your performance in the finals, and we are truly happy to have such a promising son!"

"At the same time, we are also very fortunate that we ran fast. If we had hesitated even a little bit and stayed for another month, we probably wouldn't have been able to leave even if we wanted to! Your Uncle Jing Ke was a great help!"

"Speaking of your Uncle Jing Ke, let me add something. Your uncle plans to retire from martial arts for thirty years, and for thirty years, the world will be silent on martial arts. He intends to get married and have a son. He even made an agreement with your father that when his son is born, he will name him Tianming, Jing Tianming! He also wants you to be his apprentice, and you can't refuse! Your father agreed right away, saying it was a trivial matter!"

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng clicked his tongue and said, "Jing Tianming, damn it! I may not be able to beat your father, but I can certainly beat you!"

Qin Feng continued reading.

"A while ago, a farmer came to me and said he was my cousin. I didn't believe it at first, but after your dad came back and sorted things out, he really is a relative of ours."

"This man's name is Ziming, which is said to have been given to him by his father, Ziqiu, to commemorate the victory of Shang Tang, a descendant of Emperor Ku, over Xia Jie in the Battle of Mingtiao!"

"And Ziming's cousin's father, Ziqiu's older brother, is none other than your mother's father, Zichun, whom I've never met!"

"So, in terms of blood relation, he's your cousin!"

"He told me that I was very promising and had been appointed by the Master as the world's most important coachman, enjoying a great destiny. He, as a cook, was originally unwilling to come out of seclusion, but he thought that it would be bad if his nephew didn't have enough to eat while traveling, so he came out of seclusion."

"Your father and I are very grateful to him, and we can see that he is very knowledgeable and capable!"

"When you travel with your teacher, never disobey him. His words are like those of your parents. Although he is only a cousin, you should treat him like your own uncle!"

"There's one more thing. Didn't you always want a little sister? Back then, your parents were limited by our financial situation and employment pressure, so we didn't consider it. Now, after thinking about it for a while, we both feel that it's necessary to have another baby girl."

"Firstly, son, you're all grown up now, you've got your wings and you probably won't be able to stay here anymore. The gap between us will only widen. Even if you think about us, you probably won't have time to come and see us."

"Secondly, your parents are in their prime, and while they're still healthy, we should hurry up and have a little sister for you, so you won't be lonely in the future, don't you think?"

"Of course, there's no rush. We'll probably have to wait several decades before we talk about it. Your uncle visited us recently and left us something that can extend our lives to the level of Peng Zu, who lived for eight hundred years. We'll need to adapt to it for several decades before we discuss it further."

"That's it. The rest was written by your father."

Qin Feng noticed that the handwriting in the later parts had become messy; it was his father's handwriting.

"Like father, like son! You truly are worthy of being my son, Qin Wuyang. Well done! You've accomplished something I could never achieve in my entire life!"

"Every time your Uncle Jing Ke praises you in front of me, I feel overjoyed. I, Qin Wuyang, may not be good at anything else in this life, but I'm number one at having sons!"

"Your name is known even to your grandfather's relatives in the Yan Kingdom. They've sent people to look for me, but they haven't found me yet, haha! Of course, son, don't worry, your father won't go back just because they're looking for me. That would bring you trouble. We'll continue to live in seclusion! Currently, only Uncle Jing Ke and your uncle know where we live, so don't worry."

"Also, I have two good news for you. First, your uncle has extended our lifespans, giving us the standard eight hundred years of life! No need for prosthetics, no need for mechanical ascension, we'll just be ordinary people as we are—it'll be awesome!"

"And then there's the second piece of good news: you've lived longer! We also feel we don't have enough children, so we're planning to have a little sister for you! Once you've traveled the world, you'll have a little sister, and then the four of us can play cards together—how wonderful that would be!"

"Oh, by the way, you'll be turning eighteen in three months. Remember to ask your uncle for a coming-of-age gift!"

"I'll leave you with a final poem!"

"The sky is as high as climbing a tower, so do not worry, do not fear, and do not look back."

"A young man should have lofty ambitions and ride a fine horse to conquer the plains."

"The old sword is drawn again on the battlefield, its cold light as sharp as ever."

"Goodbye, young man, bow drawn taut, fearless of time and wind!"
