"The Emperor's Burial?" Chu Feng was confused, but he could tell it was something significant.
"In short, the Emperor's Burial is extraordinarily important. Explaining too much to you now won't help — just know that the Emperor's Burial is an infinite treasure trove," Egg Egg replied.
"If the Emperor's Burial truly exists within Qingzhou, then that fellow called Qing Xuantian was definitely no simple Martial Monarch. The historical records are likely inaccurate," Egg Egg added.
"Not just a Martial Monarch? How many more realms are there on the path of martial cultivation?" Chu Feng exclaimed, suddenly feeling that his experience was still shallow and that there was so much he didn't know.
"Those realms are far too distant for you right now. It's pointless to say too much at this stage. All you need to know is that the Nine Provinces Continent has seen truly great figures — people powerful enough to shake the entire world."
"If this tomb is still intact, then you must grow stronger as quickly as possible and eliminate everyone on the Nine Provinces Continent who knows about this Emperor's Tomb, to prevent any information from leaking."
"If that doesn't work, then you'll have to flatten this continent. Under no circumstances can you let anyone spread this news," Egg Egg warned gravely.
"What? Flatten the entire continent? Are you telling me to kill everyone on it? That's absolutely insane!"
Chu Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He could kill enemies without hesitation, but he couldn't bring himself to slaughter innocent civilians — people who had nothing to do with him — just to serve his own purposes.
"What do you know? The Emperor's Burial is the greatest treasure in the world. Setting aside how powerful I'd become after devouring Qing Xuantian's origin source, you yourself could rely on this Emperor's Burial to become a figure without equal in this world."
"Don't you want to know what happened to your family? Don't you want to know why your parents abandoned you? There must be a reason behind it all."
"From what I can guess, your family most likely encountered a great catastrophe and had no choice but to send you away. As for whether your family still exists now — who knows? In all probability, your parents are already dead and your family has been destroyed."
"And the ones who destroyed your family and killed your parents are an even more powerful force. Think about it — right now, you can't even control the Spirit World being that your family left inside your body. How could you possibly stand against a force even mightier than your family?"
"Snap out of it. This world isn't as small as you think. There are countless masters, geniuses everywhere, and mighty powers that have been passed down for millions of years, still standing at the peak of the world."
"Right now, you're nothing more than a frog in a well. But you're fortunate — fortunate that within this deep well, there happens to be an infinite treasure trove. Once you claim that treasure, you'll have the power to contend with the experts outside the well, and perhaps even use it to avenge your family," Egg Egg explained.
"Stop trying to fool me. What makes you say my family might be destroyed? What makes you say my parents are already dead? You have no evidence for any of that. Maybe they had other reasons," Chu Feng huffed coldly, growing angry because deep down, he refused to believe anything had happened to his parents or his family.
"Fine, I'll admit it — your family might still exist, and your parents might still be alive and well. But even if they are, with your current level of cultivation, do you have the face to return to your family? Do you have the face to look your parents in the eye?"
"You're far too weak right now. In this world of martial cultivation, you're nothing but an ant. People wouldn't even need to lift a finger to crush you — a single fart could blow you to smithereens, and a light puff of breath could turn you to ash."
Egg Egg's words were piercingly harsh, cutting into Chu Feng's pride like a blade. But it was precisely such blunt honesty that made Chu Feng realize just how weak he truly was.
Indeed, he needed to grow stronger — much stronger. He wasn't truly a genius yet; he only appeared to be one because the people around him were so mediocre. A real genius would be someone like Qing Xuantian, and beyond the Nine Provinces Continent, there were probably many such geniuses.
"Fine. The treasure inside this Emperor's Burial will belong to me. But I will not slaughter innocent people for my own selfish desires," Chu Feng said firmly.
