Chapter 2198: Chapter 2180: Cultivators from Other Worlds?
Xia Yan was sitting by a stone table contemplating sothing when Lin Feng suddenly appeared, causing Xia Yan to be montarily stunned.
"Sect Master, you... what happened?" Xia Yan looked at Lin Feng, sensing a different aura from him compared to before, and exclaid instantly. His intuition told him sothing must have happened to Lin Feng; otherwise, how could he be so emotionally downcast?
"It’s just that so things are hard to figure out," Lin Feng said casually to Xia Yan as he sat on the opposite side of the stone table, "This ti, when I went out, I encountered a situation, and here’s how it went..."
Facing Xia Yan, Lin Feng explained in detail about the situation involving the old man. Xia Yan understood why Lin Feng was like this; it was because of that matter. Indeed, anyone encountering such a situation would be provoked into reflection, so the change in Lin Feng was quite reasonable.
Looking at Lin Feng, Xia Yan smiled gently and, after a brief contemplation, said to Lin Feng, "Birth, aging, illness, and death are the fundantal truths of heaven. If the world never dies, it would’ve collapsed long ago. Such is the cycle of cause and effect, sothing we cultivators ought to see through long ago."
"Let
share a story from my life with you; do you know I once had three sons?" Xia Yan smiled slightly at Lin Feng and asked.
Hearing this, Lin Feng shook his head; how could he have known such details? But since Xia Yan ntioned it, there must be a story behind it.
"Among my three sons, only the second was extrely talented, the perfect material for cultivation. In those days, I invested much effort to train him, taking him out of the Xia Family and spending countless resources. At eighteen, he had already reached the middle stage of the Heaven Flipping Realm, an achievent that was enough to Ao Shi the Hidden World!" Xia Yan’s eyes flashed with a hint of sadness as if rembering past events, which didn’t bring him excitent.
Just then Xia Yan sighed and continued, "But on his nineteenth birthday, an accident happened. He t a beautiful woman, and unbeknownst to , eloped with her. By the ti I found him, he had been seduced by that beautiful woman and abandoned the Xia Family’s Cultivation Technique to practice a demonic cultivation focused on dual cultivation. He even beca indifferent towards ; you can imagine how heartbroken I was."
"At that ti, my heart ached. I never imagined nurturing such a son; but after all, a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs. I advised him a bit and then left, pretending I never had such a son. Yet, later on, nurous won in the Hidden World were mysteriously violated, shocking the entire Hidden World, including the Xia Family, where many won suffered as well."
"For the Xia Family’s peace, I went out to search for the perpetrator, but I never dread that the suspect I found was my second son. He actually destroyed won’s innocence across the Hidden World without reason for his cultivation. Enraged, I fought him."
"The battle lasted over a day before I barely subdued him. I asked him why he did such things. Can you guess his answer? He said cultivating the Xia Family’s technique was too boring, and practicing that technique gave him joy, plus quick advancents in power. It was then that I truly realized what kind of son I had raised!"
"I was truly hopeless about my unworthy second son, knowing he had irreversibly fallen into the demonic path. In tears, I killed him with my own hands..."
Saying this, a few drops of tears fell from Xia Yan’s face. He continued, "They say a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, but I had no other choice. The pain of killing my son tornted
for several years, until one day I t an old monk, whose words awakened ."
"What did he say?" Lin Feng interjected, wanting to know the words that helped Xia Yan move past such emotions.
"The old monk said, ’There is no intrinsic trouble in this world; why bother with what has passed? Seek your true self, be true and guiltless.’ Xia Yan looked at Lin Feng and recounted, then continued, "Hearing the monk’s words, I had an epiphany, suddenly enlightened, never again dwelling on past things. Those words led
to a breakthrough, and my cultivation entered the peak of the Heaven Flipping Realm."
After listening to Xia Yan’s story and the words spoken by the old monk, Lin Feng was shaken, suddenly enlightened as his face broke into a smile, thinking, indeed, why grapple with such matters? He genuinely liked the won, and they liked him too—this was enough. Why trouble oneself with other things as long as one is guiltless at heart!
Thinking this, Lin Feng was montarily speechless. What a simple matter, yet it troubled him—laughable, he thought, what a line: be guiltless at heart!
"Thank you," Lin Feng stood up, smiling at Xia Yan, his heart no longer conflicted, finding such a feeling quite enjoyable.
"Thank for what!" Xia Yan also stood up at this mont and waved his hand, saying, "You are the Sect Master of Holy Wind Sect, Earth’s strongest individual, and Earth’s future depends on you. You need not have any reservations or conflicts; just being guiltless at heart makes you yourself, the leader who guides us!"
"I understand now!" Lin Feng nodded, smilingly stated, having eased his heart through their conversation, now knowing how to move forward.
Seeing the negative emotions on Lin Feng disappear completely, Xia Yan smiled too, but suddenly recalled sothing and said to Lin Feng, "Lately, many Human Immortal Realm Peak cultivators have been appearing mysteriously without reason. I’m not sure why, but now the Holy Wind Sect has changed significantly; everyone appearing has been slain without much harm."
"Is that so?" Hearing Xia Yan say this, Lin Feng frowned imdiately. No event occurs without cause and effect; if nothing unexpected happened, then sothing might’ve changed in Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, causing an unusual influx; sothing must be wrong.
"Indeed, it’s strange that the cultivators appearing this ti seem different from previous ones. We even suspect they aren’t from the Immortal Realm but other levels!" Xia Yan supplented.
"Why do you say that?" Hearing Xia Yan’s words, Lin Feng imdiately asked.
"These cultivators have an extrely bizarre aura as if practicing an evil cultivation technique that makes their presence undetectable. Only when committing atrocities can they be found, surprising us." Xia Yan explained imdiately upon hearing Lin Feng’s inquiry, sincerely wanting to understand the situation.
"I’ll investigate this matter!" Lin Feng’s expression turned serious; if these hidden cultivators grow in number, and if Eternal Joy Immortal Realm’s space passage opens, then these people could potentially cause unimaginable harm akin to nails, thus must be eliminated.
After saying this, Lin Feng disappeared from Xia Yan’s view; such matters couldn’t wait, so he urgently sought clarity on what transpired.
The Earth’s Mortal World.
Lin Feng stood above the clouds, unleashed his Divine Sense, and earnestly searched for those cultivators Xia Yan ntioned. But at the mont, no targets appeared until suddenly reminded of Fang Yan, his doppelganger in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm and promptly established a soul connection.
"Has sothing happened in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm?" Lin Feng asked Fang Yan.
"Nothing unusual happened, although I nearly lost my life days ago," Fang Yan, amidst his outing with Fang Le’er, froze montarily, engaging in communication with Lin Feng internally.
"Such events occurred—what exactly happened?" Lin Feng pursued further, curious.
"I was exploring a forbidden area, ambushed by peak Earth Immortal realm experts, barely surviving," Fang Yan summarized simply while internally replaying the scene for Lin Feng for evaluation.
Examining scenes from Fang Yan’s mind, Lin Feng frowned and spoke to Fang Yan, "You probably raised suspicion about your identity in Eternal Joy Immortal Realm. But since you didn’t use certain techniques of mine during the battle, suspicion might dwindle; yet be vigilant and never careless, or by others’ discovery, fatal!"
"Understood," Fang Yan replied and continued, "Main body, did sothing prompt you to contact ?"
"Suddenly unfamiliar cultivators appeared on Earth, capable of masking presence even from . I wonder if the Immortal Realm has changed sohow; peculiar things just unfolded," Lin Feng clarified the situation.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Fang Yan also beca wary, "Okay, main body, I’ll investigate imdiately, discerning the situation closely."
"Alright, notify
once inford," Lin Feng concluded before cutting the soul connection.
Standing amidst clouds, Lin Feng continued using Divine Sense to probe, knowing uncovering truth required identifying the cultivators Xia Yan ntioned.
After several hours, Lin Feng’s eyes suddenly sparkled, his body vanished instantly...
