"Aiya, grandfather, stop talking. I don't want to lock myself up in a secret room every day like you do. Every time I lock myself up, it'll be months or even years. How boring is that? I just like managing the Flame Mercenaries. Look, the Flame Mercenaries have become so prosperous and powerful under my management. It's so much more interesting than locking yourself up in a secret room to cultivate all day," Bi Lian said proudly. Her face was brimming with a sense of accomplishment.
Bi Hai glared at Bi Lian. He seemed very stern on the surface, but his eyes were filled with unconcealable affection. He said angrily, "You're far too disobedient. What kind of results can you get from wasting so much energy on this mess? If you don't cultivate properly, you'll be wasting all the precious heavenly resources your brother has spent on you. If you really want to help your brother, then cultivate properly. That's much more useful than you taking care of this mess. No matter how well you take care of this mess, it's nowhere near as useful as a Holy Emperor. With a wave of their hand, they can turn this mess into nothingness. "
Bi Lian knew that Bi Hai's words made a lot of sense, so she did not refute him. She stuck out her tongue in a naughty manner and pulled Bi Hai's hand affectionately, gently shaking it. She said sweetly, "Great-grandfather, of course I understand what you're saying. Actually, you don't know that I've been cultivating a lot harder than before."
"A lot harder? Hmph, don't think that just because I'm not by your side, I don't know what you've been doing all day. There are twenty-four hours in a day, and you only spend four to six hours cultivating. You call that hardworking? " Speaking of this, Bi Hai was furious. He really couldn't do anything about this smart and quick-witted great-granddaughter in front of him. On the contrary, she often made him anxious to the point of being badly battered.
As the person with the highest authority in the Flame Mercenaries, Bi Lian actually shrunk her neck in the face of the furious Bi Hai. She then arrived beside Jianchen and looked at Jianchen as if she was asking for help. She said sweetly, "Brother, look at how fierce great-grandfather is. I'm just a girl, yet he's always trying to lock me up in a dark and terrifying underground room. Big Brother, I know you love Lian 'er the most, right? Please persuade Great Grandfather. Lian' er knows that Big Brother's words are like an imperial edict, more effective than anything else. Even Great Grandfather Bi Hai who flaunts his seniority doesn't dare to ignore it. "
"You damn girl …" Bi Hai fumed on one side as he pointed at Bi Lian. He was at a loss for words..
Jian Chen looked at Bi Lian's pitiful appearance lovingly and smiled, "Lian 'er, great-grandfather is right. Becoming stronger is more important than anything else. You should just let go of the miscellaneous matters of the Flame Mercenaries."
. "" Brother, I understand. " Bi Lian clearly listened to Jianchen more. She immediately became docile as soon as Jianchen spoke, but a sliver of craftiness appeared in her eyes. She said, "Brother, if you stay in Flame City, I'll have a lot less to worry about. That way, I'll be able to spend more time on cultivation."
Jianchen had no idea whether to laugh or cry as he looked at his sister. He said, "Lian 'er, I really don't have a lot of time. How about this? I'll stay in Flame City for two days and guide your cultivation with great-grandfather."
Afterwards, Jianchen took out a Space Ring and handed it to Bi Lian before temporarily staying in Flame City. The Space Ring contained all the Class 5, 6, and 7 Monster Cores he had obtained from the Heaven's Incense School. However, all the Class 7 Monster Cores had been given to Bi Hai for safekeeping. Only the Class 5 and 6 Monster Cores were given to Honglian to use as she pleased.
At this moment, a burly, disheveled man was walking with great difficulty in a desolate wilderness. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were in tatters, and his feet were bare. He seemed like a beggar. On his burly body, there were several hideous and terrifying wounds. From the looks of it, some were caused by the bites of magical beasts, while others were caused by sharp weapons such as swords and sabers.
Even though the man seemed to be very heavily injured, his steps were still filled with power. He moved like the wind and seemed completely fine.
The disheveled man stopped and took out a map from his bosom to look at it. Then, he used his hand to tidy up his messy hair that had already covered his eyes.
His eyes, which were as deep as the starry sky, were revealed.
"With this speed, I'll be home in another month," the man murmured before putting the map away and continuing on his way.
At this moment, a figure flew over from afar and landed beside the man. It was a young man in blue robes. He seemed to be in his thirties and possessed quite the bearing.
"Kid, I just went to a city a hundred kilometers away and bought a few roasted chickens and some good wine. Let's sit down and have a good meal first." The young man in blue took out two roasted chickens from his interspatial ring and tossed one of the roasted chickens to the abject man.
The shabby man and the young man were obviously very familiar with each other. Without any pleasantries, he took the roast chicken with one hand and the wine pot with the other. He sat cross-legged on the ground facing the young man and began to eat.
"Kid, I can't help but admire your perseverance and stubbornness. There are so many magical beasts that can be used as mounts, but you just don't want them and insist on walking. The Tian Yuan Continent is so large, so you won't be able to walk from east to west even if you walk for your entire life. Furthermore, your journey home is so long. If I hadn't brought you along on the way, I'm afraid it would have taken you a year or two to get here. " The young man gulped down the wine and meat as he spoke to the man in a muffled voice.
The man swallowed the chicken in his mouth and stared at the young man with his deep, starry eyes. He said seriously, "Senior, all living things are the spirits of all things. The spirits of all things are nurtured by the world, and we humans are the best of the best. As long as the time is right, we will be able to comprehend the truth of the world."
"This world is wondrous, and the ground that makes up this world is filled with a great and unbelievable power. When you walk on the ground with your feet, you will feel this wondrous power and feel the veins of the ground. You will then comprehend the truth of the world through this wondrous power and veins."
"What did you say? There's a great and unbelievable power in the ground? Is there really such a thing? Why can't I feel it? "The young man stood up from the ground and began to pace around with his feet as if he was serious.
"Senior, you can't feel it because your opportunity hasn't come yet, or you're missing something," the man said seriously. He did not seem like he was joking at all.
The young man laughed and sat down across from the man again. He smiled, "To think that I, Feng Yixiao, am a mighty Saint Ruler, only a step away from becoming the Holy Emperor, yet I'm actually being described by a puny Earth Saint Master in such a place. I really don't know whether to laugh or cry. Kid, you say I'm missing something, so why don't you tell me what I'm missing? "
"What you're missing is …" The man sank into his thoughts. After thinking about it seriously for quite a while, he shook his head in confusion, "I don't know what senior is missing either."
"You really are an interesting kid. If it weren't for the fact that I practice a special cultivation technique that allows me to sense whether a person is telling the truth or not, I would definitely think that you are toying with me. Kid, do you know what happens to those who dare to trick me, Feng Yixiao?" Feng Yixiao said.
"I can also feel that Senior is a decisive person who kills without hesitation. Your hands are stained with the blood of countless people. Anyone who offends Senior will end up dead without exception," the disheveled man said calmly.
"Then you're not afraid of me?" Feng Yixiao looked at the man.
The down-and-out man shook his head and said, "The world is heartless, and the spirits of all living things are also heartless when they are born. The so-called seven emotions and six desires are all born after birth. I am following the path of the world, walking a heartless path, walking a path of freedom. Naturally, I have to cut off the seven emotions and six desires that were born after birth. Of course I am not afraid of death, I have already cut it off."
"Kid, you sure are strange. I've wandered the Tian Yuan Continent for over a thousand years, and I've seen countless people of all shapes and sizes. However, this is the first time I've seen a kid as strange as you. You said that you're walking a heartless path and that you have to sever your emotions and desires. If that's the case, why do you still want to go home? Since you've already severed them, what's the point of going back? "Feng Yixiao asked out of curiosity.
"I've already severed all my emotions and desires, but I just can't sever the final barrier." The man suddenly became pained. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he sorrowfully said, "I can't forget my father, and I can't forget my mother either. My mother only has me as her only son. If she loses me, she'll be in so much pain that she'll wish she was dead. There's also my sister, third brother, and fourth brother. I can't forget them, nor do I dare to forget them.
I don't want to be a heartless person. I can't sever the final barrier, I can't sever it, I can't sever it, I can't sever it … "Towards the end, the man basically roared out. His face was filled with pain.
Feng Yixiao stopped eating and drinking. He stared at the man, and only after a long while did he gently sigh, "You're walking an unusual path of cultivation. Although I don't know what kind of path it is, I do know that it's extremely cruel. It's not suitable for you right now. If you really can't do it, just take another path."
