Chapter 564
Su Wei and Zhong Zheng were happy for them. In their opinion, such a speed of promotion should be normal for Yuan Jing and the other two.
If it weren't for Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi, they would still be trapped in the Martial God Space, unable to escape, and perhaps like their predecessors, they would die one day because their bodies could no longer support them.
Su Wei is now a second-level Venerable. His alchemy skills have been improved a long time ago, so he has no shortage of elixirs to increase his cultivation. Zhong Zheng is even stronger. Both are third-level Venerables. Of course, even if they are at the same level, Su Wei is definitely not Zhong Zheng's opponent. What's more, Zhong Zheng has been constantly refining the Martial God Space over the years and using the Martial God Space to fight. His strength is incomparable.
"Wen Meng also insisted on coming with us, but I didn't agree. He couldn't enter the Venerable's tomb. Once we went in, there would be no one protecting him outside. What would he do?" So no matter how much his grandson begged, Zhong Zheng refused to give in. This made Yuan Jing and the others laugh. After all these years, Hua Wen Meng's temperament had not changed much.
"By the way, the four forces of Zixu Sect have also sent people here. They want to take a gamble and see if they can use this opportunity to produce a Venerable. They also tried every way to contact me and want to find out from me if there is any news about you. If you really died as the outsiders said, they will probably be relieved."
"Also, they don't know that the talented young man who returned from the Zhan family is Zhai Yuanhao. If the warriors from the Xuanwu Continent knew, they probably wouldn't dare to send anyone to participate in the opening of the Venerable's Tomb."
Because there was no Venerable, the power was shrunk to the Shuiyun Domain, so the news from the distant Feihong Domain was delayed a lot. Even if people had heard that the Zhan family had a genius son, it would probably not be possible to connect him with Zhai Yuanhao for a while.
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows: "It's good that you're here. We just want to see the powerful people who used to be so high and mighty on our Xuanwu Continent and see how powerful they are."
Zhong Zheng laughed out loud. Needless to say, when they met, those guys would probably regret coming here.
While they were discussing the several forces of the Zixu Sect, the cultivators from these four forces were also gathering information in the market, hoping to find a powerful backer. Over the years, they tried every means to ease the relationship with Zhong Zheng, but Zhong Zheng ignored them. When he was annoyed, he would beat them up and throw them away. They realized that Zhong Zheng could not be relied on.
The four forces acted together, because each one was too weak individually, and they could unite to gain courage among the strong men. Therefore, each force sent only a few people, and the four forces together had no more than a dozen people.
Because the Tomb of the Venerable is too dangerous, most of the cultivators who enter it will die inside every time. Zhong Zheng is getting stronger and stronger. Even if they are eager to produce a Venerable, they dare not gamble their luck in the Tomb of the Venerable. They cannot afford the huge loss.
"Elder Song, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!" A cultivator hurriedly ran into the yard rented by the four forces, shouting all the way.
Elder Song is the most powerful one on this trip, an eighth-rank Martial Emperor. Of course, if he were placed at the entrance of the tomb of the Venerables, he would not be able to look at him at all. Don’t you see that many Venerables have come, so how could the Martial Emperor be so rampant?
"What are you so nervous about?" Elder Song asked unhappily. In Zixu Sect he was the high and mighty elder, but here he was afraid of accidentally provoking a Venerable, so he acted cautiously, feeling very uncomfortable and aggrieved.
"Elder Song," the visitor hurriedly told the news he had found out, "There is news about Zhai Yuanjing and Duan Linzhi. They went to see Zhong Zun, and they are now both sixth-level martial emperors."
"Bang, bang, bang!" Several people present were so startled that their cups slipped out of their hands and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"How is this possible?" someone screamed in disbelief, his voice shrill and piercing.
"That's not all. Didn't they say that the Zhan family, known as the number one family in Feihong Territory, has a remarkable genius? I also heard that the genius came from the lower realm. His name is Zhai Yuanhao."
Now it was Elder Song's turn. The cup in his hand slipped and dropped to the ground. He murmured in disbelief, "How is this possible? How can a small warrior from the lower realm be related to a big family from the upper realm? Did they make a mistake? They must be talking about someone else with the same name."
The cultivator who was trying to get the news was not sure either: "Disciple cannot be sure, but the Zhan family will be here tomorrow, and we will know everything when they arrive tomorrow."
"Yes, it must be someone with the same name. It's normal for people with the same name to exist in such a large Tianyuan Realm." The others comforted themselves in this way. They had a fluke in their hearts, because if it was really Zhai Yuanhao whom they wanted to capture, it would mean that they would have to confront the Zhan family of Feihong Domain. How powerful was the Zhan family? With just one finger, they could overthrow the four forces.
The ancestor of the Zhan family is a ninth-rank Venerable. This is an unattainable and powerful existence for the four forces. Facing such a strong man, they cannot help but tremble in fear.
Amid these people's anxiety, the next day finally arrived. In the morning, a luxurious and exquisite pavilion-style cloud boat arrived above the market from afar. Someone familiar saw it and shouted, "It's the cloud boat of the Zhan family from Feihong Domain. The Zhan family is here too."
The Zhan family arrived, and Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi, who got the news, also walked out. I wonder how much Zhai Yuanhao has changed now.
After the cloud boat came to a steady stop, the cultivators inside flew out one by one. Yuan Jing narrowed his eyes and saw a familiar figure among them. He used his soul power to transmit a message directly.
Zhai Yuanhao was flying out with others with a sullen face when he suddenly received a voice message. He looked around hurriedly in surprise.
"Yuanhao, what are you looking at? Hurry up and catch up."
"No, my eighth brother is also here. I'll go talk to him for a while." As he spoke, Zhai Yuanhao had already seen Yuan Jing. He immediately left the Zhan family and their group behind and flew towards Yuan Jing with a smile on his face.
It has been many years since he came to the Tianyuan Realm. Apart from the initial news about his eighth brother and Duan Linzhi, there has been no news in these years. Zhai Yuanhao is very worried. This Tianyuan Realm is too dangerous, and he also heard that some people have set their sights on them.
Now, Eighth Brother and Duan Linzhi are both fine, and have come to participate in the opening of the Venerable's Tomb. Zhai Yuanhao can finally put his heart at ease. He doesn't even care about how the Zhan family will react, and can't wait to reminisce with his Eighth Brother.
"Eighth brother? Where did he get this Eighth Brother? Is he from that family in the lower world?" Someone said with malicious contempt. Zhai Yuanhao's origin was the most despised by some members of the Zhan family. In their opinion, it seemed that the other half of the blood flowing in Zhai Yuanhao's body had tainted the Zhan family blood.
"Shiqing, have you heard Yuanhao mention this?" As the number one family in Feihong Domain, the Zhan family has too many people and things to pay attention to. However, it does not mean that they have to pay attention to everyone. Obviously, those warriors from the lower realm are not among them. The great elder Zhan who led the team looked at Zhan Shiqing, Zhai Yuanhao's biological father, with displeasure.
Zhan Shiqing knew the other person's identity when he saw his son so happy. He retracted his gaze and said, "He is a cousin of Yuan Hao in the lower world. He came to the Tianyuan world before Yuan Hao, and he is highly regarded by Zhong Zunzun Su Zunzun."
"So it was him. Then you tell Yuanhao that he can let them come to our Zhan family." Elder Zhan looked like he was giving alms, but that was all. He obviously felt that Zhai Yuanhao's actions were not acceptable.
"Okay, I'll tell him when Yuan Hao comes back." Zhan Shiqing nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Zhai Yuanhao hugged Yuan Jing and laughed happily. This was the happiest time since he came to Tianyuan Realm for so long. He finally reunited with his eighth brother in Tianyuan Realm.
"Eighth brother, it's great that we are together again. Oh, and there's also Brother Duan. I'm jealous of you, my eighth brother, because I get to be with you all the time. It's a pity that I'm all alone." Zhai Yuanhao excitedly punched Duan Linzhi twice.
Duan Linzhi teased, "You're living a good life, aren't you? You're being chased by Master Feng's daughter, and you even recognized her as your biological father."
After hearing this, Zhai Yuanhao's expression suddenly fell: "Brother Duan, how can I stand you like this? Eighth brother, you should just hang out with me, the fifth brother, and stop staying with Prince Duan."
Duan Linzhi raised his eyebrows. Want to sow discord? It depends on whether Yuan Jing listens to him.
Yuan Jing laughed: "That's enough, both of you, calm down a bit, let's find a place to sit down and talk."
"Okay." Zhai Yuanhao regained his energy and couldn't wait to reminisce with the two of them. He had a lot to say.
In Yuan Jing and their temporary residence, Zhai Yuanhao couldn't stop talking once he started. In fact, after coming to the Tianyuan Realm, his temperament had changed a lot compared to when he was in the lower realm, but because of his relatives, he returned to his previous temperament. He was no longer the arrogant and cool genius of the Zhan family.
He talked about how he designed the four major forces in Shuiyun Territory when he first came to Tianyuan Realm. At that time, he also heard about what happened to Yuan Jing and the other person in Huoyun Territory. At that time, he thought that they would be reunited soon, but he never expected that so much time would pass.
When it comes to the Zhan family, he has a hard time explaining: "I used to think that my biological father died while training outside, and my mother raised me alone. Without the family, my mother and I would not be able to live well. I never thought that my father is still alive and is a cultivator in the upper realm."
"He was stranded on our Xuanwu Continent through a space crack and was injured at that time. My mother saved him and took care of him, so they fell in love and had me. However, his status in the Zhan family is not low. After searching everywhere, the Zhan family found that he was in the Xuanwu Continent, so they sent people to take him away. The Zhan family is rich and powerful, so it is not difficult for them to avoid the cultivators on the other side of the passage to enter and exit the Xuanwu Continent. Therefore, no outsiders except the Zhan family knew about this."
"After they brought Zhan Shiqing, my biological father, back to the Zhan family, they felt that the experience was shameful, so they sealed his memory of being exiled to the underworld. That's why my mother and I never knew about him and thought he died accidentally. Isn't it funny? Just because they found out about my origins, they unsealed Zhan Shiqing's memory, but Zhan Shiqing had already married and had children. My mother is a joke to the Zhan family. No, maybe she is a stain to them."
Yuan Jing expected that this recognition of relatives would not be a happy occasion, otherwise Zhai Yuanhao and his mother would not have waited in the underworld for their husband and father to return. However, he did not expect that there would be such a secret that made it difficult for him, a bystander, to describe, let alone the parties involved.
Yuan Jing was well aware of the arrogance of the people from the upper realm towards the people from the lower realm. During these years of traveling in the Tianyuan Realm, he had also encountered cultivators from other lower realms. Their situations were not good. The eight major domains were all controlled by local families and sects. It was not easy for the cultivators from the lower realms scattered in these eight domains to unite and become stronger.
Because of this situation, he was not surprised at all that the Zhan family regarded Yuanhao's mother as a stain on Zhan Shiqing, especially since the Zhan family bore the reputation of being the number one family in Feihong Domain. If Zhai Yuanhao had not shown enough talent and strong luck, would the Zhan family have come forward to recognize him?
Yuan Jing suspected that the Zhan family accepted Zhai Yuanhao not only because of his talent, but also probably because they knew that he had great luck. It was impossible for these long-rooted family forces to be completely ignorant of the matter of luck.
Zhai Yuanhao added: "I originally thought about bringing my mother and other tribesmen to the Tianyuan Realm, but then I thought about it. Brother Hua told us a lot about the situation in the Tianyuan Realm. The Tianyuan Realm is too dangerous. It would not be too late to wait until we have made a name for ourselves and then go down to bring our tribesmen up. Now I am glad for the decision I made. If my mother knew... I would rather let her think that man died a long time ago."
Yuan Jing patted his shoulder soothingly, and couldn't say anything extra, because it was obvious that what Zhai Yuanhao needed was a chance to talk.
As expected, Zhai Yuanhao laughed again, revealing his white teeth: "I know that the Zhan family is using me, and I am also using the Zhan family now. After all, the Zhan family is a big family with abundant resources. I have only been in the Zhan family for a short time, but my strength has increased a lot. When I am strong enough to compete with the Zhan family, I can take my mother over without considering the Zhan family's opinions."
Yuan Jing smiled and patted his shoulder again: "Yes, you don't have to consider their opinions, but Fifth Brother, you said that the Zhan family used you, do you know what they want to use you for?"
Zhai Yuanhao bared his teeth and said, "They thought I didn't know. In fact, I overheard their conversation. They thought that I had great luck and could always get amazing opportunities. For example, this time when the Venerable's Tomb was opened, the Zhan family specifically asked me to come. They wanted to rely on me to get the powerful opportunities in the Venerable's Tomb, such as allowing the Zhan family's Supreme Elder to be promoted to a Divine Venerable."
Yuan Jing used his divine eyes to look at Zhai Yuanhao's luck, and it was still as strong as a pillar, and had not been weakened much. He felt much more relieved now, because it meant that Zhai Yuanhao had equal importance for danger and opportunity, and could turn danger into safety. He no longer had to worry too much that he would lose his life one day.
Seeing that Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi didn't show any surprise, Zhai Yuanhao scratched his head and asked, "You all know?"
Duan Linzhi sneered: "What's so hard about this? Don't you know that your eighth brother has sharp eyes? How many things can be hidden from his eyes?"
Zhai Yuanhao looked at Yuan Jing, who smiled but did not deny it.
Zhai Yuanhao accepted this statement: "In fact, I think that your luck and that of Brother Duan are not weaker than mine. Your cultivation should be higher than mine."
"I'm afraid telling you would be too disheartening." Duan Linzhi teased.
Zhai Yuanhao's face fell again.
