Feng Li nodded. "That's right! But as I said, don't touch anything about Sanxingdui, and don't inquire about it. As far as I know, those immortals locked themselves in the back mountain after hearing the news, and they dared not come out even if their lives depended on it, for fear of being tainted by some bad luck. We should do the same. Just pretend it never happened! At least, before we understand what the old man meant by 'true nature,' don't touch it at all!"
Feng Xiaotian nodded. "I understand, Father! And what about that girl, Hongye…"
Feng Li sighed, "I was hoping to take this opportunity to ask the senior for a marriage agreement and settle this matter, but the senior is clearly waiting for the best offer!"
"What nonsense about waiting for a high price! Do you think my third daughter isn't good enough for that brat?!" Feng Xiaotian retorted indignantly.
Descendants of divine blood naturally have their own pride.
After all, not all bloodlines in this world are qualified to be called the bloodline of the Human Emperor.
This represents the orthodox lineage of humanity, the number nine-nine. It also carries the destiny of the entire human race.
"Don't say that! This kid is indeed extraordinary. To obtain the Immortal Treasure, he must be a chosen one! Moreover, this senior only took on two disciples during this calamity. Do you think it's that simple?" Feng Li said calmly.
"Two? Who's the other one?" Feng Xiaotian asked in surprise.
Feng Li shook his head. "Before, I was just guessing, but after talking to him today, I'm even more certain!"
"Father, who are you talking about?!" Feng Xiaotian scratched his head anxiously.
Feng Li sighed, "Throughout history, there have only been a handful of truly remarkable individuals who have left their mark on this world. I suspect that the catastrophe of 2012 was related to this person! It was she, this variable, who shielded humanity from a calamity and rewrote the era!"
2012?
Feng Xiaotian's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that you are talking about..."
"That's right, it's that person from the Ao family!"
Feng Li sighed softly.
"She's still alive? I've heard rumors that she was last seen in 2012!"
"She was indeed alive before 2012! Now, it's uncertain, but in the last few hundred years, she's the only one who could have reached that level!"
"But she's gone mad!"
"Madness?" Feng Li shook his head. "We both have divine blood, so why aren't we mad, but she is? Do you still think she's mad because of the Ao family's bloodline?"
Feng Xiaotian looked puzzled. "Isn't that right?"
“You’re still too young!” Feng Li sighed. “This rumor came from the ancient martial arts world. They’re just saying this to slander our divine bloodline. In fact, we older generation all know that Ao Shuang’s madness has nothing to do with our bloodline. It’s because she went to a place and was tainted by something ominous!”
"Where are you?" Feng Xiaotian asked in shock. "Could it be Changbai Mountain...?"
"It's not Changbai Mountain!"
"Kunlun?"
"It's not Kunlun either!"
"That is..."
Feng Li took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words, "Return to the Void!"
"What??"
Feng Xiaotian looked surprised.
Guixu, a most mysterious forbidden land!
It is also the only secret realm known to the entire martial arts world to date, but which no one has ever reached.
Why do we say it is known?
This place is mentioned in almost all ancient Chinese classics, including the Liezi, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and Zhuangzi's Free and Easy Wandering.
For example, as recorded in the Liezi.
East of the Bohai Sea, for countless miles, lies a great chasm, truly a bottomless valley, its depths unfathomable, named Guixu. All the waters of the eight directions and nine fields, the flow of the Milky Way, pour into it, yet its volume neither increases nor decreases.
The records in the other classic texts are also very detailed.
In summary, Guixu has the following characteristics:
All the water systems on land flowed into Guixu!
Even the Milky Way in the sky is poured into the void!
After the earthly water system and the Milky Way flowed into it, Guixu neither increased nor decreased by a single inch!
Guixu is a huge pit (ravine), bottomless and boundless!
When Feng Xiaotian was a child, he was most curious about these strange and unusual places. Even when he had mastered martial arts in his youth, he often traveled around to search for the so-called Guixu.
However, no clues were ever found.
How could he not be shocked when his father mentioned it himself!
"Father, does the Void Realm really exist? What kind of place is it? Have you ever been there? Why have I never heard you mention it?" Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but ask.
Feng Li nodded, then shook his head. "I roughly know where Guixu is, but I've never dared to try!"
"What? Are there places in this world that even you dare not go?" Feng Xiaotian found it unbelievable.
Feng Li sighed, "When you were young, you were too reckless and curious about all sorts of things. I was afraid you would put yourself in danger, so there were some things I didn't tell you. Now that the time is ripe for marriage, I'll tell you about the meaningless return to the Void!"
Feng Xiaotian swallowed hard, glanced around, found a stone stool to use as a small bench, and sat down.
He loved hearing about these things; the Ruins of Return were a mystery that had troubled him for decades, and of course he wanted to know the truth.
"To understand the Void, you must first understand one thing: this world is vast, far larger than we imagine!"
"Um... Father, what do you mean? Isn't our world just Earth?"
"Wrong! The Earth is not a sphere; the land is flat!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's mouth dropped open!
Father, even though I'm a failure, you can't just lie to me like this, can you?
