Chapter 502: Godfather Liang Xing

The little brat Xiao Baoer is the son of the abbot of Haotian Monastery. The abbot of Haotian Monastery is named Liang Xing, and he is also a legendary figure.

Liang Xing is the youngest leader of all the twelve major sects, only 38 years old. Most people at this age can only be core members at most, but he has become the person who steers a huge ship.

Shi Yan had heard about the deeds of the abbot of Haotian Monastery when he was a child. He had heard from his grandfather that he was of the same generation as his father, and had been a good friend of his father, but also a competitor.

But later, Shi Yan's father met his mother, gave birth to him, was expelled from the Shi family, and never returned to the Shi family, or the Xuanlong Realm. Liang Xing continued to explore the path of cultivation until he got married and had children a few years ago.

It was the first time that Shi Yan met someone related to his father.

Liang Xing is very young. If it weren't for the tuft of mustache on his chin, he would look like a man of the same generation.

He was wearing a deep blue robe, a tall crown with gold thread hollowed out on his head, an emerald jade ring on his waist, and an ebony fan in his hand. When the fan was opened, mountains and rivers were outlined on it.

"Father~" Little Baoer ran towards Liang Xing happily, jumped into his arms, and said in a baby voice.

Liang Xing scratched his little nose and said, "You are already a man, but you are still so clingy. Aren't you ashamed?"

Little Baoer laughed and said, "What's there to be ashamed of? You are my father, so it's only natural for me to stick to you!"

Liang Xing smiled happily. Due to his busy daily affairs, he could only show a sincere smile when he was with his children.

At this time, Liang Xing noticed Shi Yan and others, and was suddenly stunned. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Oh, by the way, father, this is the brother Nu Shiyan I told you about. He was the one who took care of me when I was in that domain~~~" Xiao Baoer finally remembered Shi Yan and introduced him, "Those are his friends."

"So it's you. Baoer told me a lot about you after he came back. You've been taking care of him in Zimu Liuhua Domain. Thank you so much." Liang Xing said with a smile, "I've always wanted to meet you. Today I finally met you. You're indeed a young talent."

"No, little treasure is so cute, I am very happy to take care of him." Shi Yan said against his will.

"By the way," Liang Xing suddenly said, "I think you look familiar, little brother. Where have we met before?"

Shi Yan shook his head: "Probably not, this is my first time in Dongchengweiyu."

Liang Xing pondered: "This is strange, why do I feel very familiar with you when I see you, as if you were a good friend of mine?"

Shi Yan smiled bitterly: "Senior Liang, how long ago did you say that? I was probably still a child at that time."

Liang Xing smiled awkwardly, "Look at my brain, I'm just talking nonsense."

"Does your father know him?" Ning Xinyi asked quietly in Shi Yan's ear.

Liang Xing's eyes lit up. If he was talking about his father's generation, then he was most likely an old acquaintance. Could he be the descendant of some old acquaintance?

"What's your father's name? Maybe we know each other?"

Shi Yan shook his head, his expression gloomy, "I haven't seen my father since I was a child, I don't even know his name."

Liang Xing saw his depressed expression and said, "I'm sorry."

Shi Yan shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, I'm used to it." He knew why Liang Xing was familiar with him, because his father was indeed his good friend, but Shi Yan was very entangled and didn't know whether he should reveal his identity. He was a dead person around Tianmen Domain. He didn't know what consequences would be caused by a dead person suddenly returning, so he was very entangled.

"Brother Shi Yan, just treat yourself as your own family, and treat my father as your father!" Xiao Baoer said very righteously.

Liang Xing patted Xiao Baoer on the head and said, "How can you talk like that? But if you don't mind, I can be your godfather."

He suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something, and then he woke up instantly and asked Xiao Baoer, "Wait, what did you call him just now?"

Xiao Baoer tilted his head: "Brother Shi Yan, what's wrong?"

"Shiyan? Shiyan, Shiyan?" Liang Xing seemed to remember something and muttered to himself.

Shi Yan was shocked. He didn't expect that he had overlooked this point, but it was too late. Shi Yan smiled bitterly, and then felt relieved. This was fine. He just regarded it as a choice made by God for him.

"I remember now, you are the child of the Shi family?" Liang Jing was very surprised, "You are not..."

"Died twelve years ago? Oh no, it should be thirteen years ago now." Shi Yan asked back.

"Dead thirteen years ago?" Shi Yan's friends were all very surprised. Yu Jiaolong vaguely felt that he had an unknown past; Ning Xinyi looked at Shi Yan with concern, and he also had a feeling that Haotian seemed to have an unfortunate past; only a few men had no feeling at all. In terms of intuition, these men were indeed not as good as women.

"Are you really Shi Yan? The former Tianmen Holy Body Shi Yan? It turns out you are not dead!" Liang Xing was surprised, then he lowered his voice, looked around and said: "Come with me to the study."

Shi Yan nodded and said to Yu Jiaolong and the others, "Wait here for a while, I'll be back soon."

They nodded, "Go ahead, we'll wait for you here."

"Yeah." Shi Yan followed Liang Xing to his study.

As soon as he entered the study, Liang Xing burst into laughter and said, "Hahahaha, I'm so happy. Your father was once my good friend. He once said that his future children would have to recognize me as their godfather! Although we are rivals, we are more like good friends and brothers. When I heard that you died, do you know how I felt? It was like I lost a biological son. I didn't expect you to be alive. Haha, I'm so happy."

Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, "So there really is such a thing as a godfather."

Liang Xing laughed and said, "What do you think? This is God's will. I'm your godfather, and you can't escape it. Haha."

"By the way, how have you been these years? Why did you go to such a remote place?" Liang Xing was very curious about his past, or it would be more appropriate to say that he was concerned. Shi Yan was born in Sanjie Xianshan. He was already one year old when he returned home. Because of his mother's relationship, his father was eliminated and Shi Yan was hidden. It was not until Shi Yan began to practice and showed an extremely amazing talent for practice that he was known to everyone. However, Liang Xing was in seclusion at that time. Because he learned that his former friend and competitor had actually become an immortal and reached the realm of immortals, he was unwilling to admit defeat and practiced in seclusion until he was able to come out eight years later. As soon as he came out, he learned about Shi Yan's death. At that time, he went to Shi's house and made a big fuss. After all, his godson died young, and he had never met him.

It was at that time that the relationship between the Shi family and Haotian Monastery entered a stalemate.

Looking at the son of an old friend, his godson, Liang Xing's eyes actually became moist.

You have to know that he is the head of a courtyard at the moment, shouldering the rise and fall of the courtyard, how could he reveal his true inner feelings? Now that he saw his godson, the guilt and feelings that he had hidden for more than ten years finally broke out today.

With red eyes, he listened silently to Shi Yan's narration of what happened after he entered the Shi family ancestral hall.

He traveled through hundreds of domains, large and small, and wandered for nine years before arriving at the Bianyun Three Domains, where he settled down. Liang Xing could never imagine that an eight-year-old child endured the extreme cold, traveled through domain after domain, and arduously went to the Zimu Liuhua Domain just to survive, just to practice the art of taming beasts, and be able to return to the practice of cultivation. All this was just to survive. How much suffering did a child endure in order to survive? I'm afraid he himself can't count it. Liang Xing sighed in his heart.

Shi Yan did not mention the Three Realms because he was waiting for the right time, waiting for the opportunity to make it public. Now was not the time to bring the Three Realms back into the public eye.

"Are you able to practice now?" He heard about Shi Yan after he came out of seclusion. He was originally a Tianmen Holy Body, but his practice was hindered because of the extreme cold air. He kept regressing and was finally abandoned by the Shi family.

Shi Yan nodded, "Yes, godfather, I can practice now. I went to Zimu Liuhua Territory to learn the art of taming beasts and practice with spirit beasts. I learned that only those who have established their foundation can practice the art of taming beasts. I thought that my life would be like this day by day, but one day, I was able to practice again."

Liang Xing smiled and said, "God doesn't want a genius like you to fall into oblivion."

Shi Yan smiled and said, "Perhaps it was God's will. It was at that time that I met Xiao Bao'er."

"That brat sneaked out. I was so worried. Fortunately, he met you and now he brought you back." Liang Xing touched Shi Yan's head. "My child, you have worked hard these years. From now on, you should treat this place as your own home and me as your father, your real father. Don't go back to the Shi family, the place that abandoned you. My Haotian Academy will never abandon you."

Shi Yan suddenly felt warm in his heart.

"By the way, you said you are now in the Spirit Severing Stage? But why do I feel that the power in your body is huge, which is totally unlike the cultivation level of the Spirit Severing Stage." Liang Xing suddenly said: "The feeling of this power is almost the same as mine!"

Shi Yan smiled bitterly, "Because my soul separation tribulation is the Great Infinite Nine Tribulation, after I passed the tribulation, a large amount of energy from heaven and earth poured into my body, so it caused the current situation."

"The Great Infinite Nine-fold Tribulation?" Liang Xing didn't know how many times he had been surprised. "That is the heavenly tribulation that one should endure when becoming an immortal. Oh my God, how embarrassed I am. You are so young, but you have already reached this point. It is really shocking. Although you are at the peak of the Spirit Severing Stage now, if you really fight, you can easily soar your strength to my level. You are really a monster. I am really convinced that I am no match for you and your son."

Shi Yan had no choice but to keep silent. Should he tell him that the reason he had the current strength was because he had comprehended the power of the Great Dao? Should he tell him how many opportunities he had obtained? Should he tell him that he had the memories of his previous life that he could learn from?

"I am so proud of you. Liuyun is no match for you. They are still competing with people of the same generation, but you can compete with people of our generation and even those older generations."

"Liu Yun? I heard that Liu Yun is in seclusion and seems to be about to break through to the transformation form."

“Liu Yun came out of retreat a few days ago, and exceeded expectations by breaking through the transformation and Nascent Soul stages and reaching the Nascent Soul stage. He is now fully capable of fighting against those in the Spirit Severing stage, but he does not have the strength you have.” Liang Xing sneered, “I heard that he calls himself the new generation of Tianmen Saint Body. Haha, compared to you, the real Tianmen Saint Body, he is not even worthy of carrying your shoes!”

"Liuyun has come out of confinement?" Shi Yan was stunned. Doesn't that mean that Liuyun and Xiang Zijin's engagement day is coming soon?
