Lin Buzheng was drunk the entire night. By the time he woke up, the eastern sky was already bright. However, he still remembered everything that had happened last night.
Faced with the temptation of the seven Empyreans taking him in as a disciple, Lin Buzheng's will was firm and unwavering. He persisted for five days and five nights before he finally got his wish and became the disciple of the golden-haired man.
The golden-haired man was not prominent in the Sect, and his origins were mysterious, but his battle prowess was terrifying. In the previous battle, he had used only one fist to blow up the Battle Hall Patriarch of the Soul Demon Sect. His strength far surpassed that of a Heavenly Law Sovereign.
Between the golden-haired burly man and the Seven Sects' Empyreans, even a fool would know who to choose.
"Time to leave."
Before the golden-haired man left, he told Lin Buzheng that he would bring Lin Buzheng away from the Evergreen County at noon today. He told him to make the necessary preparations.
Lin Buzheng had been cultivating in the main family for less than a year, but his cultivation had risen from the middle stage of Qi Path when he had just entered the main family to the peak of Qi Path now. With five great perfection realms, his cultivation speed was astounding.
It must be known that Lin Buzheng did not have the guidance of any martial arts masters during this period of time. He had to rely on himself to explore, step by step, and walk steadily.
It was easy to imagine that after Lin Buzheng became the disciple of the golden-haired man, his cultivation speed would only become faster under his careful guidance.
"Patriarch, the Tree Ancestor has awakened. He wants you to go over!"
At this moment, a disciple of the Lin family hurried over to pass on a message.
When the Soul Demon Sect attacked the city, the Tree Ancestor of the Lin family, the Sword Hugging Patriarch of the Wang family, and the White Jade True Dragon of the Chen family appeared and fought the experts of the Soul Demon Sect to the death, protecting their respective families.
However, under the powerful attacks of the Soul Demon Sect's experts, the three of them were no match for them.
After the battle ended, the corpses of the three Venerable Ones were brought back to their clans to be buried.
However, something unexpected happened. The Ancestor Bao Jian and the White Jade Dragon both died. Only the Ancestor of the Lin family was reborn.
The Tree Ancestor had finally awakened after sleeping for several days. The first thing he did was to summon Lin Buzheng.
Although Lin Buzheng did not know why the Tree Ancestor had summoned him, he still hurried on his way. In less than ten minutes, he had arrived at the depths of the family, where the Tree Ancestor lived.
"Junior Lin Buzheng greets Tree Ancestor!"
Lin Buzheng bowed respectfully.
In front of it, there was a new sprout.
It had just broken out of the ground and was only an inch tall and as thin as a finger. There were two tender leaves on its head, and its life aura was weak. It was as if a gust of wind could snap it in half.
This sprout was naturally the new Tree Ancestor.
Although the Tree Ancestor was lucky enough to not die, his martial arts cultivation had completely dissipated. It was unknown how long it would take for him to recover to his former level.
"Lin Buzheng, you are here!"
"I know you are leaving the clan, so I have a small gift for you. Please accept it!"
The sprout swayed with the wind, and a weak divine will was clearly transmitted into Lin Buzheng's mind.
Whoosh!
Before the divine will could reach him, a slender root of the Tree Ancestor broke out of the ground and pushed a black object that was half the size of a fingernail out of the ground to the feet of Lin Buzheng.
"This is … a seed!"
"Tree Ancestor, what is this seed used for?"
Lin Buzheng subconsciously bent down and picked up the black object. He could tell at a glance that it was a seed.
The seed's skin was black, and the seed did not contain any magical power. It only had an extremely weak life force. It looked no different from an ordinary seed.
"That's right."
"This is the seed left behind by the mysterious root that gave birth to my body. As for its use … Haha, this seed does not contain any terrifying power, and its material is extremely ordinary. It will die if drowned in water and extinguish if burned by fire. However, it contains the most essential principle of life. It is both a seed and a universe, and another you. It will grow with you and become stronger with you. Eventually, it will create a miracle of life!"
The divine will transmitted by the Tree Ancestor was vague. Apparently, for some reason, it did not want to explain too much.
Lin Buzheng did not continue to ask and carefully put the seed away.
"Speaking of which … 20 years ago, when your father Lin Shanyue left the clan, I also gave him a seed."
"Your father was extremely talented in martial arts. He had cultivated under my clone willow tree for several years. He had a great chance to break through to the Heavenly Path Realm, but unfortunately …"
The next moment, the Tree Ancestor sighed with emotion. In an instant, Lin Buzheng's heart suddenly stopped beating.
"Twenty years ago, Tree Ancestor, you met my father?"
"Tree Ancestor, do you know where my father went after he left the clan 20 years ago?"
"Also, Tree Ancestor, do you know who my mother is?"
Lin Buzheng clenched his eyes tightly. His face was filled with nervousness and anticipation. He had never imagined that the Tree Ancestor would have such a close relationship with his father Lin Shanyue.
"I'm sorry. My understanding of your father Lin Shanyue is limited to the years he spent cultivating in the clan. As for where he went after he left the clan, I don't know either."
"As for your background, I don't know either. I only know that more than 10 years ago, Lin Shanyue was covered in blood and his cultivation was destroyed. He brought you back to the clan when you were still a baby."
"However, I have seen your mother before …"
The divine will transmitted by the Tree Ancestor was extremely slow, as if he was recalling the past.
"Tree Ancestor, you have seen my mother before?"
Lin Buzheng's eyes widened as a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
"Yes. After your father came to the main clan, he always cultivated under my clone willow tree. For a period of time, he brought a mysterious woman back to the main clan several times."
"Your father thought that he did it secretly, but in reality, I saw everything. Your father and that woman swore an oath of love under my clone willow tree many times, promising to never leave each other …"
"That woman was very beautiful. She had a faint air of nobility about her. Her temperament was otherworldly. Although she didn't speak much, she loved to smile. From afar, she looked like a fairy."
"However, this old man accidentally discovered that although this woman looks no different from an ordinary woman on the outside, her realm is actually extremely profound. She has at least reached the peak of the Heavenly Way. Combined with all the signs, this woman should be a saintess cultivated by a holy land or a supreme sect that has been passed down for thousands of years."
"If I'm not wrong, your father mysteriously disappeared on the way to the Evergreen Sect. He should have gone with this woman to the wider world outside to train."
"This woman's aura is extremely similar to your life aura. I am 100% sure that she is your mother."
