"Xiaofan is right, let the past be the past. From now on, our family will be happy together."

Changsun Dongju said, "By the way, Tian Ge, how did you come here And how did you become a princess of the Heavenly Palace"

"This..."

Hearing this question, Lin Zhentian's old face flushed involuntarily. After a moment of hesitation, he finally said, "Changsun Qiulan showed me that forged appraisal report. I was momentarily confused and felt utterly despairing, so I left the capital alone."

According to my thoughts at the time, I wanted to leave the world and become a monk directly. But halfway there, I suddenly met an old man who said that my physique was very special and suitable for being his disciple. He asked me if I was willing.

At that time, I thought about it. Cultivating and becoming a monk weren't that different. After all, both meant leaving the Imperial Capital and saying goodbye to the worldly troubles. So, I went with him.

Changsun Dongju exclaimed in surprise, “Brother Tian, wasn't that person a conman You were already in your twenties at the time, wouldn't it be too late to start cultivating”

But Ye Bufan had a different view. With his father's current cultivation level, it proved that the old man was definitely not a fraud.

As expected, Lin Zhentian shook his head. "He wasn't a fraud. Later I found out that my teacher was Wei Wuya, the current palace master of Tiangong."

Changsun Dongju said again, "Oh! If that's the case, why did he take you as his disciple Isn't it common for martial arts practitioners to start training from a young age"

Lin Zhentian said, "I didn't think so much at the time. I went straight to Tiangong with my teacher. Later, I found out that my teacher's time was running out."

The elder said my physique is special, not that I'm a martial arts prodigy, but rather that I'm most suited for the initiation ceremony.

After I climbed the mountain, the teacher helped me adjust my physique. Three days later, he performed the great dharma transmission ritual and passed on all his cultivation to me.

Ye Bufan suddenly realized. He had previously heard Situ Changkong mention that Wei Wuyaya, the founder of Tiangong, was a legendary figure. He didn't expect him to become his father's master.

It also explained why, as a half-way out of the house old dad, could have such powerful cultivation, it was all thanks to the transmission of esoteric teachings.

"Wow, that's incredible! Brother Tian, you're so lucky."

Long Sun Dongju was extremely excited, genuinely happy for her man. Then, she asked with a hint of resentment, "But after so many years, didn't you ever think about going back to see me, finding out what really happened"

"What's the matter"

“To be honest, in all these years, I've never been to heaven.”

Lin Zhentian explained somewhat awkwardly, "Although my physique is extremely suitable for the transmission of esoteric teachings through a ritual of pouring spiritual energy, it doesn't mean I can fully accept my master's cultivation. At that time, I only inherited about 70% of his cultivation."

Even so, it took me three whole years to fully master it.

Before his passing, the teacher specifically instructed me to diligently cultivate and practice, striving to improve my cultivation level. Only then could I face the impending crisis, ensure the safety of the Heavenly Palace, and safeguard the peace of China.

So all these years I have been diligently practicing, striving with all my might to improve my cultivation.

The path of martial arts is truly too difficult. After twenty years of arduous cultivation, I have only just progressed from the early stage of the Imperial Realm to the middle stage. The distance to my teacher's former Imperial Realm Grand Perfection is still immeasurable.

Hearing this, Changsun Dongju didn't pursue the matter any further.

Ye Bufan asked in confusion, "Elder Wei Wuya has been famous for many years. Even when he took you as his disciple, he should have been over a hundred years old. After so many years, didn't he have any other disciples Why did he only take you in as his disciple when he was nearing the end of his life"

As a successor to the ancient medical school, he naturally knew that the best way on the martial arts path was still to cultivate from a young age, and this kind of initiation inheritance was not the best option.

Firstly, the tradition of Tantric Initiation was already rare, and there weren't many people who knew about this method.

Next, it's crucial to find a suitable disciple, but such a physique is practically one in ten thousand.

Even if it's found, it can't be 100% inherited, there will definitely be losses in the process, and the risk is huge. Once there is a slight mistake, both people will end up destroyed.

Even someone like the old man, who peacefully and smoothly inherited the legacy, also had his room for improvement limited. To raise it further would double the difficulty. This is why the old man toiled in seclusion for many years before finally reaching the next level.

"This master told me this before he died..."

Lin Zhentian began to speak, "The old man had taken in a disciple a long time ago, and was extremely satisfied with him. He had great talent and had already reached the Saint Stage realm fifty years ago."

But as time went on, he gradually discovered that this person's character was flawed and would do anything for personal gain.

He would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, without regard for morality or justice.

The teacher naturally knew this wouldn't do, so how could someone with such character govern the Heavenly Palace

How to protect China!

Later, he tried every means to teach him, but the man only superficially agreed, without any real change. Until later, in order to seize a thousand-year-old ginseng, he even destroyed a small sect of that person.

The master was furious and immediately drove him out of the courtyard.

Originally, the old master wanted to strip him of his cultivation. But he couldn't bear the other party's pleas. After all, they had been master and disciple for so many years, and in the end, he softened his heart.

"I just want them to swear off China forever, prohibiting them from ever setting foot on its soil again."

Ye Bufan shook his head: "Senior Wei is confused. This is letting the tiger back into the mountains, with endless future troubles."

Lin Zhennan sighed and said, "Yes, after that person left, the master regretted it a little. If he was still alive, he could still frighten him, but once he passed away, I'm afraid that person would return in force, and then it would be a disaster for China."

But it was too late to regret, the person had already disappeared. In order to eliminate this hidden danger, the teacher searched everywhere for talented disciples, preparing to take another apprentice in hopes that he could inherit the foundation of Tiangong in the future and continue to protect China.

It's a pity that he was disappointed, as he spent decades searching for a suitable disciple without success. Only when his time was almost up did he meet me.

When he passed away, he left behind two last wishes. The first was for me to keep his death a secret and not tell anyone outside the family.

Second, let me seize every opportunity to cultivate diligently and strive to improve my cultivation level as much as possible.

Although that person's character is questionable, they are incredibly gifted in their cultivation. Decades ago, they were already a martial saint-level expert, so it's terrifying to imagine how powerful they are now.

Ye Bufan nodded. Wei Wuyaya's move could be considered making amends for past mistakes, but it was unclear if it would be effective.

He asked, "Has Elder Wei ever mentioned that person's name"

Lin Zhentian said, "As I've said, that person's name is Feng Qianli."

"Wind for a Thousand Miles, I don't seem to have heard that name before."

Ye Bufan frowned, trying his best to recall. He had spent so long in the Western world, coming into contact with top-tier powerhouses, but he had never heard of anything like wind traveling for a thousand miles.

Lin Zhentian said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of him. Later, the master also looked for him for a long time, but there was no news. This person just seemed to disappear into thin air."

Logically speaking, given his temperament and abilities, he should be unable to control his desires and would stir up trouble wherever he went. But for some reason, he's just vanished.ret.
