Afterward, from the cave where the ancestor was in seclusion, a surge of power swept out!
Cloud Zhao was holding a torch to burn the mountain when suddenly a gust of cold wind swept through, and a torrential rain abruptly fell in the valley!
The fires he had lit were quickly extinguished in the torrential rain, practically in an instant.
Before Cloud Zhao could react, that surge of power had already whisked him away, fiercely flinging him back into the hut where he lived.
Cloud Zhao was thrown into complete disarray, his mind a blur, when he saw a translucent phantom wavering before him, pointing and cursing at him:
"You ungrateful brat, I saved you with kindness, yet you dare to disrespect your ancestor!"
This voice was unmistakably the ancestor!
Cloud Zhao didn’t know where he got the strength from, but he struggled up from the ground and shouted, "What kindness of saving ! You’ve kept grounded on this barren hill for thirty years! Thirty years!"
"I’m saving your life, you unappreciative brat!"
"You didn’t tell !" Cloud Zhao sat up from the ground, having already given up all hope!
He had cursed, set fires, and now he was utterly resigned!
Begging for rcy now would be too late.
Cloud Zhao pointed at the phantom and shouted furiously: "You keep saying you saved my life?
How is this saving my life?
Keeping here for thirty years, ignoring ! Have you even said a single sincere word to ?
Co on, explain it clearly, how have you saved my life!"
The ancestor was silent for a mont before slowly saying, "I have seen your fate; you are destined to have a calamity. That day, I saw your fortune was in danger, rembering you are a descendant from the sa tribe, feeling sympathy, I ordered for you to stay with in the back mountains.
The place of my seclusion has a mysterious array that can block the secrets of heaven, masking your fortune, allowing you to avoid your destined calamity!
Young one, if it weren’t for your ancestor, would you have survived until today!
You would have perished long ago!"
Cloud Zhao was stunned.
He didn’t doubt the ancestor would deceive him—for better or worse, he was the tribe’s venerable ancestor, with imnse divine techniques.
But...
"You didn’t tell !!" Cloud Zhao frantically tore at his hair: "You could have said sothing! You could have told !
You kept here for thirty years, ignoring and letting fend for myself on the mountain!
What’s this about calamities in my fate, blocking heavenly secrets, and saving my life... You could have told !
You could have inford !
If only you had spoken to , I wouldn’t have been left here inexplicably trapped, confused and desperate!
If only you had spoken to , knowing I’m avoiding calamities here would have helped center my ntal realm and understand much!
If only you had spoken to , I could have prepared, practically find things to do!
You..."
The ancestor sowhat helplessly replied: "It’s just a re few decades, so what’s unbearable?
Seclusion and ditation, close your eyes and open them, years pass quickly!
Thirty years, it’s just a few sleeps."
The ancestor’s tone had a hint of indifference.
But this remark, this tone, completely enraged Cloud Zhao!
"How long has it been since you’ve conversed with anyone?
Or has your brain gone crazy in seclusion? Gone stupid? Unbalanced?!"
Cloud Zhao suddenly leaped up from the ground, without a hint of warning, and shouted aloud.
"Seclusion, closing eyes and opening them, years pass quickly??
Thirty years is just a few sleeps?
Have you gone mad!!!
When you left on the mountain, I was!!! Four!!! Years!!! Old!!!
Four years old!!
Four years old!!
You lunatic, do you even comprehend what four years old ans!!
Four years old, I was still a child!! How would I possibly know about seclusion, ditation, or practicing!?
No!! I didn’t even know what seclusion and ditation ant!!!
Four years old!!
Four years old!!
Roaring, Cloud Zhao pointed at the ancestor’s phantom, shouting in fury: "Did you know how to go into seclusion when you were four!? What were you doing at four?!!!"
The ancestor’s phantom suddenly fell silent.
He stopped making any sound, just quietly standing there, standing in front of Cloud Zhao.
However, Cloud Zhao seed to feel that at this mont, the ancestor’s phantom exuded a guilty deanor.
Cloud Zhao concluded — this ancestor indeed had his brain shut down during the lengthy years of seclusion!!
After a long while, the ancestor’s phantom quietly spoke: "Uh... back then, you were only four years old?"
"What do you think!!"
"But... even at four, you should have awakened your talent divine techniques, with divine techniques, you can sense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, survive and cultivate, your days shouldn’t be unbearable in the valley."
Hearing this, Cloud Zhao laughed bitterly in anger.
"My father awakened his talent divine techniques at eleven! My grandfather, considered the most gifted in five generations, awakened at nine!"
Cloud Zhao said pointing at his own nose: "Why would you think I awakened at four?!"
"Uh... didn’t you awaken? But as your ancestor... I awakened my talent divine techniques at sixteen months old."
"........."
You’re incredible! You’re outstanding!
Cloud Zhao’s fingers trembled in anger.
However, the ancestor was still an ancestor, once he understood the reasoning, he sighed: "I neglected a crucial part, causing you so hardships."
So hardships?
Cloud Zhao rolled his eyes.
But the ancestor seed admittedly guilty, which made Cloud Zhao a bit bewildered.
At that ti, however, Cloud Zhao, who had lived in the mountains for thirty years, obviously didn’t understand much. It wasn’t until he left the mountain later that he understood why the ancestor felt guilty.
