The five great families of the Cloud Sea City had chosen to temporarily form an alliance for the upcoming City War. Such an outcome naturally made the Yun Family's Patriarch extremely happy. He also understood that the reason why they were able to achieve such progress was entirely because his son had brought Lin Xiu back.
After the ceremony, the Yun Family's Patriarch wanted to return to the family. When he saw Lin Xiu guiding his son in the training field, he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
Although he was also an expert who had reached the Dao Enlightenment Realm, because he had to manage the overall situation, he usually neglected to discipline his son. It was impossible for him to take care of everything.
This time, the Yun Family's Patriarch was naturally very happy that Lin Xiu was able to guide his son. He even had an idea in his heart. If his son could become Lin Xiu's disciple, then it could be said that Lin Xiu would be completely tied to the Yun Family's war chariot. This would be of great help to the Yun Family's development.
Seeing the Yun Family's Patriarch walk over slowly, Lin Xiu and Ah Feng stopped what they were doing. The two of them bowed slightly to show their respect to the Yun Family's Patriarch.
"Brother Lin, there's no need to be so polite. To be honest, this time, it's all thanks to you. Our Yun Family has been wanting to do this for thousands of years, and we've finally achieved our goal." The Yun Family's Patriarch spoke in an extremely forthright manner. One could see that he was very happy this time. In addition, with Lin Xiu's help, the Cloud Sea City would definitely not be at the bottom again in this City War. In that case, not only would the Yun Family be able to maintain their position in the city, but the Yun Family would also have the authority to make decisions in the Cloud Sea City. It could be said that it was a happy ending for everyone.
Next, the Yun Family's Patriarch also began to guide his son. One could see that he was very concerned about his son. After all, the higher one's cultivation, the harder it was to have a child.
However, not all the children of formidable cultivators were able to inherit the extraordinary natural talent of their fathers. If they wanted to obtain true accomplishments, then it mostly depended on hard work. Even though Ah Feng's natural talent could be considered to be not bad in Ocean of Clouds City, he was still very far away when compared to those true geniuses.
Now that the position of Patriarch of the Yun Family was firmly in his hands, the Patriarch of the Yun Family naturally did not worry about his son's future prospects. However, if there was a day that he unfortunately fell, it was likely that the other large families would not even need to act. Just the elders within the family, who were eyeing him covetously, would be enough to eat up his son until not even ashes were left.
After a round of pointers, Ah Feng was sweating profusely as he gasped for breath. However, his gaze towards his father had become gentler.
He could not remember how long it had been since he had such intimate contact with his father. For a long time, as the Patriarch of the Yun Family, his father had been troubled by official affairs every day. In order to further develop the family and to balance the conflicts between the various large factions, he could be said to have put in a lot of effort over the years.
Although Ah Feng wanted to share some of the burden with his father, with his strength, he was still too weak and did not have the qualifications to participate in such a battle.
Of course, he knew that all of this was due to Lin Xiu's efforts. If he did not rashly enter the forest a few days ago and wanted to hunt, he would not have met Lin Xiu, nor would he have been able to rope in an expert in the Dao Comprehension Realm for the Yun Family. Thus, his father's faction in the family was like the sun in the sky, almost to the point where their words carried enormous weight.
Since the various great families had already formed an alliance, the Yun Family also held a grand banquet that night. No matter what, the elders of the Yun Family were still part of the Yun Family. No matter how one put it, they were still part of the Yun Family. Normally, no matter how intense the fights within the family were, they would naturally feel happy when they encountered something like this.
The Great Elder had already reached the peak of the Manifestation Realm and was even half a step into the Dao Comprehension Realm. It could be said that he only lacked an opportunity to become an expert in the Dao Comprehension Realm. However, to truly break through, it was not easy to do it behind closed doors. What was more important was the comprehension of the natural laws of heaven and earth.
Moreover, he was already old. All these years, although he had constantly fought with the Patriarch of the Yun Family, he only wanted to obtain a little more benefits for his descendants.
Since the Yun Family's power was like the sun in the sky, the Great Elder's thoughts about fighting slowly faded.
Under the lead of the great elder of the Yun family, almost all the Creation realm experts of the Yun family raised their cups and expressed their gratitude to Lin Xiu.
The Patriarch of the Yun Family sat high up on the main seat and looked at the happy and harmonious scene below. He felt a little proud in his heart. In order to balance the strength of the factions, he could be said to have racked his brains over the years. Now that he finally had such a harvest, it was truly a joyous event in his life.
In fact, the Yun Family had been the number one family in Cloudsea City all those years ago. The founding of Cloudsea City had been due to an ancestor of the Yun Family, Yun Hai. His strength had reached the pinnacle of the Dao Comprehension Realm. In order to reward him for his achievements, Yao Kun had specifically promised that the Yun Family would be able to control the city for generations to come.
However, along with Yun Hai's fall, some of the surrounding powers naturally wanted to take a share of the spoils. Thus, the situation of five great clans jointly taking control of Ocean of Clouds City was gradually formed. This caused the members of the Yun Clan to feel resentful in their hearts. However, it was a world where fists determined victory and defeat. Since the Yun Clan had already declined, they could only pinch their noses and accept this resentment.
This time, they regained control of the Cloud Sea City. Regardless of the age or gender, everyone in the Yun Family was brimming with smiles. It was foreseeable that in the next few thousand years, the other major families would definitely not dare to easily compete with the Yun Family. That way, they would naturally be able to develop even faster.
And once the Great Elder could successfully break through to the Dao Comprehension Realm, it would be just a matter of time before the Cloud Sea City regained the glory of the ancestor.
On this day, almost all of them drank themselves into oblivion.
The moon hung high up in the willow trees. Lin Xiu and the Yun Family Patriarch Yun Tian had a frank conversation in the back garden.
Yun Tian poured a cup of wine for Lin Xiu and said sincerely, "This time, if not for Mister's help, my Yun Family would not be able to become so rich today. This cup of wine, I, Yun Tian, toast Mister."
Yun Tian's attitude towards Lin Xiu had changed a lot and was even more respectful than before.
There was no other reason. Ever since he gave some cultivation techniques to Lin Xiu, when Yun Tian saw Lin Xiu again, he realized that he actually could not see through Lin Xiu's application. This could only mean that Lin Xiu's strength was far above his.
And now, although the five major families had formed an alliance on the surface, Yun Tian himself was very clear about the real situation. The other major families would definitely not allow the Yun Family to dominate the situation.
Right now, because of the City War, the other families could temporarily form a rope and it was nothing more than a common interest.
After the City War ended, there was no doubt that the other major families would definitely plot against the Yun Family. If that was the case, with his strength alone, he would not be able to contend against the experts of the other families. If Lin Xiu could make a move at that time, he would undoubtedly be able to affect the situation to a great extent.
Lin Xiu raised the wine cup but was not in a hurry to drink it. Instead, he looked at Yun Tian with a teasing gaze.
"The wine of the Yun Family is not that tasty."
Seeing Lin Xiu's reaction, Yun Tian did not think much. If he was in Lin Xiu's shoes, he would not be willing to become someone else's lackey so easily.
"Mister, don't worry. In the future, as long as my Yun Family can dominate the Sea of Clouds City, the various resources will definitely be much better than now. I can promise here that in the future, 30% of the Yun Family's income will be under Mister's name." Yun Tian spoke his mind at this moment. With regards to this decision, he had thought about it for a long time. Previously, he had argued endlessly with the elders because of this.
This price was sufficient to show the sincerity of the Yun Family. Lin Xiu thought about it and agreed.
Anyway, as long as he waited for the competition to end, he would make a move for the Yun Family once. Since he came to this Ancient Desolate World, he had not fought with a true expert in the Dao Enlightenment Realm. He did not know how strong they were.
Seeing that Lin Xiu agreed, Yun Tian was naturally overjoyed.
After Yun Tian left, Lin Xiu looked at the stars in the sky and fell into silence. After all, he had only been in the Ancient Desolate World for a short period of time. Under the situation where he was unfamiliar with the place and people, he could only choose to settle down in the Yun Family first. As long as there was a chance to pursue greater strength, he would definitely leave this place without hesitation.
As for the 30% of the Yun Family's income, although Lin Xiu had agreed to it now, he would definitely not be able to bring it away at that time. But it did not matter, as long as the Yun Family exchanged it for treasures of similar value.
At this moment, there was indeed a figure sneaking into the garden. With Lin Xiu's strength, he naturally noticed the figure and revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth. This person was none other than Yun Tian's son, Ah Feng.
"Alright, don't hide there. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others? Come out quickly."
Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Ah Feng walked out helplessly. He did not treat himself as an outsider and directly sat opposite Lin Xiu. Then, a blazing light suddenly burst out from his bright eyes and he asked Lin Xiu, "Senior, you and my father are both experts in the Dao Enlightenment Realm. According to your opinion, is there truly an invincible person in this world?"
Lin Xiu really wanted to laugh at this question. The universe was vast and boundless. Even the Ancient Desolate World was only a tiny speck of dust. However, such an event was also a powerful expert in the Venerable Realm, not to mention the vast and high-grade planets.
"How can there truly be an invincible person in this world? You must know that there is always a higher mountain, and there is always a higher mountain. Even if you can be invincible in the Cloud Sea City, when you come to a more vast world, you will find that everyone there has a similar experience as you. What should you do? "This was what Lin Xiu was thinking. Wasn't he already invincible in the Immortal Martial Continent? However, in this Ancient Desolate World, he could barely be compared to an ordinary city lord.
Lin Xiu's words made Ah Feng fall into deep thought. He was still young and his life had been smooth ever since he was young. Under the protection of the Yun Family, he was used to living a carefree life. Of course, it was difficult for him to understand the difficulties in Lin Xiu's words.
However, there was always grass growing on the shoulders of a young man. Although Ah Feng wanted to become stronger, his goal was extremely simple. He just wanted to attract the attention of his father and share some of the pressure with Yun Tian. He didn't want to rely on his tyrannical strength to seek benefits for himself.
The reason why Lin Xiu saw this young man in a different light was because of his pure heart. No matter where they were, the pursuit of strength was the biggest pursuit of almost everyone.
But when they really obtained tyrannical strength, how many people would be able to maintain their original heart? They would often be blinded by the benefits in front of them and would only be greedy for enjoyment.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Lin Xiu sighed in his heart. Because he was destined to not stay here for too long, he had always rejected the young man's request to become his disciple.
"Senior, when father really brings the Yun Family up and becomes the number one family in the Cloud Sea City, what do you think he will do at that time?" The thoughts of the young man were always very fast. In just a moment, Ah Feng had a new question.
Lin Xiu couldn't help but laugh, this question was really a bit troublesome.
The greed of man knows no bounds. If you really get your hands on something you've been dreaming of, you won't cherish it. It's easy to predict that once Yun Tian defeats the other great clans, he definitely won't be satisfied with a tiny city like Cloud Sea City.
But this sentence, Lin Xiu naturally couldn't say it directly to the young man.
"A person's wishes will always change as they grow older. Just like Ah Feng, you hope that you can become stronger so that you can share some of the pressure with your father. But once your strength surpasses your father, what do you want to do at that time?" Lin Xiu did not answer directly, but looked at the young man with a rhetorical tone. "Ah Feng, I'm not sure what you want to do." Lin Xiu did not answer directly, but looked at the young man in a rhetorical tone.
Ah Feng was still young, how could he think of such a profound question? He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, causing Lin Xiu to not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Senior, I really can't imagine some of the things that will happen in the future, but I think as long as I take one step at a time, no matter what, there will not be any big mistakes, and that way, I will be able to make changes in time." Ah Feng said to Lin Xiu with a bright gaze, then he grinned, filled with the innocence of a young man.
When the young man returned to his room to rest, Lin Xiu was still sitting in the garden. He dipped his finger in the wine and then drew a complicated and inexplicable mark on the table.
Lin Xiu muttered to himself, "Although there is no one who is truly invincible in this world, you will always be able to see the strongest person. The reason why I left the Immortal Martial Continent this time was because I wanted to see the path of cultivation, to see the scenery of a higher level, and also to find a way to awaken my son."
After a long time, Lin Xiu suddenly waved his sleeves and all the marks on the table were wiped away, then he walked into his room without looking back.
