"Father, no matter what level of cultivation I have, I will always be your son," Chu Feng said to Chu Yuan.
"Yes, you are my son, and you will always be my son." Chu Yuan nodded repeatedly. He was truly proud of Chu Feng.
"Big brother, Father and the others have just awakened and need proper rest. Let's take them to the Azure Dragon Sect first," Chu Feng said.
"Alright, we'll head back to the Azure Dragon Sect right away," Chu Guyu said.
"Father, I forgot to tell you—my big brother is now the Sect Master of the Azure Dragon Sect," Chu Feng said to Chu Yuan.
"Really? Guyu joined the Azure Dragon Sect and became its Sect Master?" Chu Yuan asked, astonished.
"Absolutely," Chu Feng nodded.
"Good, good. My two sons have both accomplished so much." Chu Yuan grinned from ear to ear.
Although he knew he had died, he had been in a hazy, confused state without much clear consciousness.
Over the years, it had been like a long, dreamless sleep with no substance to it.
So naturally, he had no idea what had happened during all that time. Now that he had just awakened and learned of so many wonderful things all at once, he was overjoyed.
Afterward, Chu Feng, all the members of the Chu Family, and the numerous guests from the Eastern Sea and the Martial Sacred Land all headed to the Azure Dragon Sect to rest.
To celebrate the revival of the Chu Family members and to welcome the many distinguished guests, the Azure Dragon Sect naturally threw a grand banquet.
Furthermore, Chu Feng also extended invitations to the Dark Night Demon Sect, the Jiang Dynasty, and numerous other powers.
This would likely be the last grand feast before Chu Feng departed for the world beyond, and he wanted to see everyone who had ever helped him.
Finally, all the guests from the Nine Provinces Continent and the Eastern Sea had been invited, and this unprecedented banquet officially commenced.
At the feast, whether they were elders or disciples, whether they were lofty figures of great renown or new disciples who had only just joined, everyone was exceptionally excited and thrilled.
Setting aside the fact that the Azure Dragon Sect had welcomed so many distinguished figures from the legendary Martial Sacred Land—
Their pride and joy, Chu Feng, had actually defied the heavens by reviving his deceased family members, making him seem practically omnipotent.
Most importantly, those important guests who had come here because of Chu Feng were each incredibly generous, bestowing grand gifts upon everyone in the Azure Dragon Sect.
Both elders and disciples received numerous benefits, and naturally, there was no way they could be anything less than overjoyed.
After all, the treasures that those distinguished figures casually handed out as rewards were things they might never obtain even after a lifetime of effort.
During the banquet, Chu Feng also roughly recounted his experiences over the years to Chu Yuan.
In truth, it wasn't Chu Feng himself who did most of the talking—creatures like Immortal Meow Meow had famously big mouths.
Once the people of the Nine Provinces Continent learned in full detail of the things Chu Feng had experienced and accomplished, they felt even greater admiration for him.
And those juniors who had grown up alongside Chu Feng all realized that the gap between themselves and Chu Feng was truly growing wider and wider.
If they were still on the ground, having only just learned to run, then Chu Feng had long since begun soaring through the nine heavens.
"Feng'er, you're going to the world beyond?" Chu Yuan suddenly asked in surprise, his gaze filled with reluctance.
He already knew that Chu Feng had become a supreme figure in this world—one who had virtually no equal.
Yet Chu Feng bore a great responsibility and would be heading into the vast starry expanse—the so-called world beyond.
"Yes, Father. I'm going to the world beyond. But I will return sooner or later. I'll come back to see you, come back to see everyone," Chu Feng said.
"Feng'er, I know I can't stop you. I'll only say this—once you're in the world beyond, be careful at all times. Nothing is more important than your life." Chu Yuan spoke with deep reluctance.
"Come now, Feng'er is a man destined for great things. As his father, you should be supporting him."
"Here, Feng'er—let your grandfather offer you a toast. I wish that in the world beyond, you will carve out a realm of your own, just as you have here." Chu Yuanba raised his cup.
Back in the day, Chu Yuanba had not thought highly of Chu Feng. It was only as Chu Feng gradually rose to prominence and brought glory to the Chu Family that he had begun to show him any regard.
Now, after learning of the full extent of Chu Feng's deeds, in his heart, Chu Feng had truly become the pride of the entire Chu Family.
He felt fortunate—fortunate that he had ultimately allowed Chu Yuan to take Chu Feng in.
"The toast should be mine to you, Grandfather." Despite the way Chu Yuanba had once treated him, Chu Feng bore no grudge against him or anyone else in the Chu Family. He felt only guilt. After draining his cup, he said to Chu Yuanba, "Grandfather, it was my fault back then that brought suffering upon all of you."
"Sigh, Feng'er, what are you saying? Let the past be the past. Aren't we all doing just fine now?" Chu Yuanba laughed dismissively.
"That's right, Chu Feng. No one blames you for that matter. There was never any reason to—the fault lay with those villains." At the same time, the other members of the Chu Family all offered words of comfort.
Seeing this, Chu Feng smiled faintly. Then he suddenly grabbed a large jar of wine and swept his gaze across the crowd.
His family—Chu Yue, Chu Yuan, Chu Guyu, and the rest…
His masters—Zhuge Liuyun and Qiu Canfeng.
