Tangyu continued, "If given the opportunity, would you dare to beco a hero of your era, courageously standing at the summit of this world?"
"Ah?" An Shitong looked at Tangyu with a face full of confusion, not quite understanding the aning of Tangyu’s words: "Master, forgive your disciple’s ignorance, I do not know what you an by this."
Tangyu smiled wryly and said, "I want you to beco the supre ruler of the Mystic Spirit Continent, the only master. Unify the Mystic Spirit Continent and stand at the peak."
"Ah——" An Shitong’s mouth opened wide in shock, full of amazent as he looked at Tangyu. To beco the supre ruler and unify the Mystic Spirit Continent, how is this even possible? Throughout history, those who have unified the whole continent and achieved unsurpassed mastery can be counted on one hand. The most recent one was an event from ten thousand years ago. In the last ten thousand years, the Mystic Spirit Continent has been a land divided amongst heroes, an era of hundreds of schools contending. The current Mystic Spirit Continent is a place with myriad clans and the world divided into thousands of forces.
To want to unify the Mystic Spirit Continent, how can this be possible?
Even in his wildest dreams, An Shitong never thought of such a defying act. His talent is decent, but not to such an extraordinary extent. Besides, he is currently only at the Golden Core Realm First Layer. Achieving Boundless greatness is still far too distant. Such events, even for today’s peak individuals, are likely only a daring thought.
"Master, you aren’t joking with , are you?" An Shitong couldn’t help but ask, because if it was a joke, it’s too big a one.
Tangyu looked at An Shitong seriously and said, "With such a serious expression, do you think I’m joking?"
An Shitong imdiately shook his head, indeed it didn’t seem like it at all: "But Master——"
Tangyu said, "There’s no ’but.’ I have told you so much, and you still don’t quite understand. Do you think your master is a man given to whimsical fantasies?"
"No."
"Do you think your master is an impulsive person who speaks unreliably?"
"Also no."
"Do you think your master is a boring person?"
"This—shouldn’t be."
Tangyu tapped An Shitong’s shoulder, saying, "Since none of this is true, then why do you not have any confidence? To be honest, with my power, if I chose to act, the conquest of the Mystic Spirit Continent would be easy. Of course, for certain unspeakable reasons, I cannot do this myself. But, it is sothing I must do. Now, do you understand what I an?"
An Shitong’s eyes widened again, not doubting Tangyu’s words, for if his master dares to say so, then he surely has confidence. An Shitong was inwardly shocked; he knew his master’s power was formidable, with many guesses in his heart. Hearing his master’s words now, he finally understood the extent of his master’s power.
Thinking about it, it makes sense; it’s no wonder one could silently and instantly elevate him from Mystic Law Realm Second Layer to Mystic Law Realm Ninth Layer. Such an ability, he had not heard of any great power possessing.
"Master, what kind of divine being is he?" An Shitong felt even more curious and did not quite understand why his master wanted to unify the Mystic Spirit Continent.
Yet, An Shitong heavily nodded: "I understand, Master wants to complete this task on your behalf. However—your disciple is truly incapable, as my current strength is still very weak. Accomplishing Master’s mission will likely take a long ti. What I don’t quite understand is that, since Master has already reached an unsurpassed height, why care about these forces? Unifying the Mystic Spirit Continent wouldn’t hold any aning for Master, right?"
"Moreover, if Master truly wants to do this, you could entirely find a force to undertake this task, which would be much easier and quicker."
Tangyu smiled mysteriously and wagged his finger at An Shitong, saying, "In the midst of the appointed destiny, so things cannot be disclosed. You only need to know, this world isn’t as simple as you think. How your master acts, there is a reason. If you can’t understand, it only ans you know too little about this world. What you see is just the surface. So, you don’t need to understand, you just need to know that your master won’t harm you."
"You have dreams, you have ambitions, so just let them explode forth. Your master will do his best to help you. As for how far you can go in the end, it depends on your own effort and fate. As I said, your heart determines how far you can go. People are made great by their dreams; if you don’t dare, your cultivation path is already broken."
An Shitong nodded solemnly, indicating he would rember these words.
After thoroughly digesting these things, An Shitong then asked, "Master, what shall I do next?"
Tangyu said, "If there’s work, you do it; if there’s none, you cultivate. Start small and gradually expand your influence. How you expand your power depends on your personal ability. All the support will be given to you by . A snowball grows the more it rolls. Liufeng City is just a small step for you. Frankly, it’s rely a small trial, not worth ntioning. But even a small step is very important, it will depend on your skill, your wisdom, and how you maximize your own interests."
An Shitong nodded, deep in thought, as he began to consider this matter.
He had never been very keen on the matters of power struggles and domination, but now, he had to consider them.
Tangyu waved his hand and handed An Shitong a Qiankun Bag, saying, "Inside are various cultivation techniques. You can choose to cultivate them or give them to others; I’m leaving everything to you to manage. I will personally guide your future cultivation, and I will design nurous challenges to compel your enhancent."
An Shitong received the Qiankun Bag, and upon seeing the myriad of exquisite cultivation techniques inside, was overjoyed. Each of these techniques was invaluable and if it leaked out, it would surely cause the other four great families to fight desperately to seize them.
An Shitong began cultivating under Tangyu’s personal guidance and faced a series of tests, naturally leading to rapid improvent in An Shitong’s strength. He cultivated several powerful techniques with so success. Although still at the Golden Core Realm First Layer, he could certainly handle an average Golden Core Second Layer opponent. Additionally, Tangyu gifted An Shitong nurous treasures, fully equipping him. As long as it was within the rules, Tangyu would give it to An Shitong.
Indeed, it felt sowhat like force-feeding knowledge and aggressive nurturing, but Tangyu had no choice. Ti waits for no one, and spending decades slowly cultivating was impossible. Thus, this thod had to be employed. Considering An Shitong’s innate talent, his own path was essentially cut off. Tangyu intended to forcibly elevate him to the Zifu Realm. For Tangyu, this is not a difficult feat.
On the Mystic Spirit Continent, those who reach the Zifu Realm are exceedingly rare, estimating fewer than a hundred in total. Moreover, most are at the Zifu Realm First Layer, the strongest likely not surpassing the Zifu Realm Second Layer. So long as An Shitong is elevated to the Zifu Realm First Layer and granted several powerful treasures, he can beco invincible on the Mystic Spirit Continent.
Of course, Hongchen Palace is formidable, and their thods are unknown to Tangyu.
For now, this is the only plan that can be made.
Three days later, hurried knocking interrupted An Shitong’s cultivation.
An Miaoke’s urgent voice ca through, "Brother, things have turned dire, the Liu Family, Yang Family, Kang Family, and Lei Family have arrived at our doorstep! You and Tangyu quickly co out and see."
Upon hearing that the four families had co to confront them, An Shitong imdiately stopped cultivating and stood up, looking at Tangyu. An Shitong was cultivating, and Tangyu was not idle either.
Tangyu opened his eyes and stood up, "Let’s go, after preparing you for so long, it’s ti for you to do so work. Liufeng City for you is just a small trial. How you perform next depends entirely on you."
"Yes, Master, I will not disappoint you," An Shitong nodded, following Tangyu out.
During these few days, neither had stepped out of the door, and as soon as they ca out, An Miaoke curiously glanced at Tangyu. But her mind was not on Tangyu, as she imdiately pulled An Shitong away upon seeing him.
The autumn wind was chilling; the atmosphere in Liufeng City today was exceptionally oppressive and tense. The setting sun was like blood, dark clouds obscured the sky, making it feel as if the world was about to change.
The An Family was also engulfed in an incredibly tense atmosphere, with a potent scent of blood filling the air. So servants were so frightened that they secretly fled.
The front yard of the An Family was crowded, forming two camps: one was the forces of the four great families, with nurous masters gathered there. Furthermore, there were hundreds of archers fully equipped on the high walls, poised to strike, imposing a sense of awe and trepidation.
On the An Family’s side, everyone gathered and ford a formation, ready to fight desperately at any mont. But how could the stance of the An Family compare to the forces of the four great families? The disparity in power was imdiately apparent.
The heads of the four families were bold and dark-faced, exuding a daunting aura, as they looked at the An Family’s head.
The Liu Family Head spoke, "An Family Head, let’s not beat around the bush, given that we’ve taken our stance today, let’s speak openly. If you do not wish for ard confrontation, you must agree to our two demands, and we will leave imdiately. Otherwise, well, it can only lead to a full-blown confrontation. In such a case, your An Family will be permanently removed from Liufeng City starting today. An Family Head, those who recognize the current situation are wise."
"You’ve lived a long life, surely you understand such simple logic? The situation before us is clear, so don’t make futile struggles or have any illusions."
The An Family Head snorted coldly in anger, "Liu Family Head, do you think I would believe your nonsense? Your Liu Family and Yang Family conspired to kill four talented geniuses of my An Family’s third generation; you have long viewed my An Family as a thorn in your side, fearing my An Family’s rise and complete suppression of your four families. Therefore, you aim to act ahead of ti and obliterate my An Family. You’ve already started your move; do you still suppose you would halt?"
"With such a grand demonstration, arriving at my An house, do you intend to just return like this?"
