After landing, Tuoba San boasted to me...

"Father, look what I have gained!"

Looking at his Emperor-level battle armor and Emperor-level longsword, I knew these were all his spoils…

So, I looked at him with the loving gaze of a father and said with a hint of relief.

"As expected of my invincible son, Tuoba Wudi, you have not disappointed your father..."

"Father, your son will always be your pride. It's just that you can't cultivate, but I will do everything in my power to obtain elixirs that prolong life and help you live a long and healthy life..."

Ding! The system has detected that Tuoba San has a strong desire to grant the host immortality. The host can tell Tuoba San that there are spiritual roots of heaven and earth in the Three Forbidden Lands of the Central Continent, which can turn ordinary people into cultivation geniuses!

Hearing the system's words, it seemed the system was helping to rationalize its final flaw...

However, if he said this directly, Tuoba San would definitely become suspicious, so he had to be more tactful...

"Hi…"

My long sigh caught Tuoba San's attention. He quickly stopped his childish boasting and asked me with concern.

"Father, I have become strong, aren't you happy? Why are you sighing?"

I looked at Tuoba San with some difficulty, as if I wanted to say something but hesitated...

This made Tuoba San even more flustered. He thought something had happened to me and anxiously asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"Father, what's wrong?"

Only then did I say with a helpless expression.

"My son, I'm so sorry..."

"Father, what makes you say that?"

Tuoba San's face was full of confusion...

"I am just an ordinary person, without even the aptitude for cultivation. You are now a Martial Emperor, yet you have to stay in this small place in the Western Continent because of me. You need a wider sky, because you are the Kunpeng soaring through the heavens. Whenever I think of this, I wish I were dead, not wanting to be a burden to you..."

Hearing my words of self-reproach, Tuoba San finally realized that he had only thought about becoming strong and making his father proud, but he had never considered what his father was thinking...

I have become powerful, but the more powerful I become, the more my father seems like a burden...

"Father…"

Tuoba San was momentarily at a loss for words, so I sighed and said...

"If only I could cultivate, then I would have the strength to protect myself and wouldn't be a burden to you..."

Shi Miaomiao overheard our conversation and knew I was about to trick my son again…

Every time I act out a scene depicting the deep bond between father and son, I subtly lead Tuoba San into an unseen trap. The worst part is that Tuoba San not only jumps into it himself but also acts as if it's perfectly natural…

Afterwards, he felt he hadn't done enough; his father loved him so much, yet he hadn't done everything properly…

"Father, please don't say that. Even if you can't cultivate, I will protect you for the rest of my life..."

Tuoba San said firmly…

"Son, do you think there are any rare and precious materials in this world that can enable ordinary people to cultivate?"

Upon hearing my question, Tuoba San pondered for a moment. Perhaps Senior Ling Feng could provide the answer, but he wondered what was wrong with Senior Ling Feng, as he could never be contacted at crucial moments…

"Perhaps there are, but I've never heard of such a rare and precious treasure in the western continent..."

Tuoba San said uncertainly, mainly because he didn't want to discourage his father...

I then spoke in an extremely tactful tone.

"I once read in an ancient book that there is a forbidden area on the Central Continent where spiritual roots of heaven and earth can be obtained to reshape one's constitution. Even an ordinary person who obtains such spiritual roots can become a prodigy..."

Upon hearing my words, a glint flashed in Tuoba San's eyes, and he asked in an barely suppressed tone of excitement.

"Really?"

I shook my head and said...

"Son, I only read a few words in a book. How would I know if it's true or not..."

Hearing my words, Tuoba San looked somewhat disappointed, but he quickly said to me firmly...

"Father, regardless of whether it's true or not, I will go to the Central Continent to verify it. If it's true, I will bring this spiritual root of heaven and earth to you no matter the cost..."

"My son, I know you are filial, but the Central Continent is teeming with powerful figures and geniuses. Even the places they call forbidden zones are fraught with danger. It's not worth it for an ordinary person like me..."

Hearing this, Shi Miaomiao finally understood what I was doing. I felt that annihilating the entire family was no longer a challenge, so I was now sending Tuoba San to the forbidden area to court death…

Just thinking about it is exciting. That's the Central Continent, where powerful people are everywhere. How terrifying must it be to be a place that these people call a forbidden area?

"Father, please don't say that. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I'll seize it. If you can also cultivate, then it will be easier for us to take revenge together..."

Tuoba San actually started comforting me. In this situation, I couldn't laugh, so I could only force myself to hold it in...

But seeing this conflicted expression, Tuoba San interpreted it as worry for his safety, instantly filling him with immense gratitude and strengthening his resolve to go to the Central Continent…

"Okay, let's go back to the Demon Cloud Sect market first. You still have a fight to finish..."

I said calmly…

Tuoba San nodded and said

"That's right, this is also his last battle before leaving the West. I believe he has already broken through to become a Martial Emperor..."

As Tuoba San finished speaking, in an open area of ​​the Demon Cloud Sect, Yuan Xiu was undergoing his tribulation…

Unlike Tuoba San, he underwent the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation, which had nine fewer lightning strikes than Tuoba San's Third Nine Heavenly Tribulation...

Moreover, Yuan Xiu was well-prepared, possessing countless magical treasures and trump cards. Although the process was thrilling, he ultimately succeeded in overcoming the tribulation without any major incidents.

"Tuoba San, I don't know if you successfully transcended your tribulation, or if it was the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation, but as long as you are alive, I will surely win this battle..."

Yuan Xiu gazed in the direction of the Demon Cliff Sect, his powerful fighting spirit soaring to the sky, making him appear like a war god who had emerged from hell…

Tuoba San seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of the Demon Cloud Sect. Both of their eyes were filled with an unwavering belief in victory…

Little did they know, a black raven had arrived in the western continent—the very raven sent to kill me…

My image flashed through Black Crow's mind; it was given to him by his master. The Asura avatar on the altar was killed, mainly because of me…

Demon Cloud Sect, Market!

When we reappeared outside the market, we caused a huge commotion. All the geniuses of the Demon Sect were gathered there, and everyone had already heard about my abduction by the Martial Emperor...

But when I appeared in the market, they were all puzzled as to how Tuoba San had rescued me from the Demon Cliff Sect. A crazy possibility even popped into their minds: Could it be that Tuoba San had wiped out the Demon Cliff Sect?
