Jiang Feng listened to his grandfather's narration with a face full of questions: "What is this Heaven and Earth Ranking? Why is even the supreme God afraid of it and obeys its orders?"
Jiang Zhong shook his head. "No one knows. We only know that it has existed since the beginning of this world. Legend has it that a divine master once questioned the Heaven and Earth Ranking. He was annihilated by the Heaven and Earth Ranking with a beam of golden light. Don't worry, a powerful being has speculated that the Heaven and Earth Ranking cannot be manipulated at will."
"What happened to my grandfather? What happened to my father and mother? It turns out that the people in my dream were my parents. And why did the Heaven and Earth Ranking want to kill me?" Jiang Feng was already in tears at this time.
"Feng'er, don't be anxious. Listen to what Grandpa will tell you slowly. In this vast God Realm, there are nine famous families. That night, various forces quickly gathered together like a tide to discuss this important matter concerning you. Of course, there is no lack of the Jiang family led by your grandfather Jiang Jiuhua, and the Liu family headed by your grandfather Liu Bai. As for the other families, they all wanted to hand you over and let them deal with you at their will. At the beginning, your grandfather and your grandfather were firm in their attitude and flatly refused this unreasonable request. Unexpectedly, however, after some tempting conditions or promises were offered to your grandfather by the various major families, he actually changed his mind and agreed to hand you over. However, your grandfather refused to compromise and remained steadfast in his stance. Seeing this, the other Heavenly Venerables unhesitatingly attacked, imposing numerous restrictions that trapped your grandfather. Meanwhile, the remaining people pounced on you like hungry wolves, launching a thrilling pursuit.
At this point, Jiang Zhong was already in tears, his weathered face full of pain, as if he was pulled back to that nightmarish day eighteen years ago!
"Although those Celestial Lords, due to their status, didn't personally intervene, the Liu Family's numerous masters fought tooth and nail to protect you and help you escape danger, even risking their own lives. Unfortunately, they were ultimately outnumbered and nearly all perished. As for the Jiang Family, due to your grandfather's strict prohibitions, no one dared to offer a helping hand. At this critical moment, one individual stepped forward and resolutely unleashed an extremely rare and powerful forbidden spatial technique—the Blood Mist Spacetime Array. Once activated, it instantly transformed into a red mist permeated with a thick, bloody aura, temporarily blocking the enemy and buying us precious time to escape."
At this moment, Jiang Feng felt a heartache, a piercing pain. These people were willing to sacrifice their lives for him. He grabbed Jiang Zhong's hand and asked, "Could this be the fog I saw in my dream? Who is this person?"
Jiang Zhong sighed deeply and spoke slowly, "My child, he is your uncle—Jiang Zhandi. He has adored his brother, your father, since childhood, and they were inseparable. The bond between the two brothers was unparalleled. In countless brutal battles, your father always risked his own life to protect your uncle. This Blood Mist Spacetime Formation is even more formidable, requiring the life and soul of the caster to activate. Even those almighty, so-called invincible gods dare not take it lightly or attempt to break it. You must know that once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, they possess the power of the soul, allowing their spirit to exist independently from the body. When the time is right, or through sheer strength, they can forcibly seize the body of another, gaining a chance for rebirth. However, your uncle... alas! What happened next was just as you saw in your dream. Your mother acted decisively, mobilizing the secret treasure passed down through generations in our family to teleport you and me to the lower realms."
After hearing these words, Jiang Feng felt his legs weaken, and he collapsed into a chair, feeling completely exhausted. Images of loved ones he had never met kept flashing through his mind, one after another, like a surging tide. This overwhelming amount of information weighed on his heart like a heavy mountain, making him feel almost breathless and unable to cope. At this moment, Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh wryly at himself and said, "I'm afraid I'm the first unlucky person in the world to be hunted by the gods!"
Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Zhong and asked, "My parents shouldn't be dead yet, right?"
Jiang Zhong nodded: "Probably not, but he should be imprisoned."
Jiang Feng wiped the tears from his face and asked seriously, "Why do you want to kill me?"
"Because you have Chaos Spiritual Roots," Jiang Zhong said with fear.
Jiang Feng was puzzled: "Chaos Spiritual Root?"
Jiang Zhong: "Feng'er, those with Chaos Spiritual Roots must fight for luck from the heavens and for fortune from the earth. Their path to cultivation is full of thorns and bumps. As for the others, I don't know. I have heard that a Chaos Spiritual Root warrior once surpassed his level to kill a Divine Lord and escaped unscathed."
What? Killing a Godly Lord by leaping over his level? Jiang Feng's mind was in a mess.
While Jiang Feng was thinking, Jiang Zhong waved his hand and three wooden boxes and an ancient book instantly appeared on the table.
