"Perhaps it was your Master who broke my lord's seal," Liwu said.
"If he truly broke my lord's seal, then he's not just ordinarily powerful — he's extraordinarily, unbelievably powerful."
"Ziling, if you have such a powerful backer, why don't you call him out? Then we wouldn't have to suffer the bullying of the Prison Sect and the Seven Realms Holy Palace."
Fengling said.
"My Master doesn't want to get involved in these things," Ziling said.
"So that's how it is — free-range upbringing. Your Master sure trusts you."
The moment Fengling said those words.
Eggy, within Chu Feng's Spirit World, started giggling again.
"Trust is an understatement. He lets his own son fend for himself, so of course he'd do the same for his daughter-in-law."
Hearing this, Chu Feng didn't know what to say. His father had indeed left a powerful martial formation within his body, but setting that aside... it was essentially free-range parenting.
And it had been that way from the very beginning.
"Fengling, would it be possible for you to tell me who your lord truly is?"
Chu Feng asked.
Hearing this, Liwu looked troubled.
"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say," Chu Feng quickly added.
"Oh, it's not really inconvenient. There just aren't many records about my lord in the current martial cultivation world."
"But my lord was incredibly, unbelievably powerful. Even though my memories are damaged, I vaguely remember that during the ancient era, all the divine beings feared my lord."
"Some called my lord the Blood Emperor, and others called her the Blood Slaughter Emperor."
"If you enter the Ninth Heavenly River, you'll be able to hear stories about my lord. But if you ask me now, I can't remember clearly. All I know is that my lord was someone who struck terror into all who heard her name."
Fengling said.
"What I remember is about the same," Liwu said.
"I've heard that during the ancient era, the strongest among humans were Emperors, and the strongest among the Demon race were Saints."
"Since the lord you two speak of is known to the world as the Blood Emperor, she must have been a figure who stood at the very pinnacle of the ancient era."
"No wonder the two of you are so extraordinary. Those who follow such a lord are bound to be extraordinary themselves."
Fei said.
"Oh, not bad. You may not be much to look at, but you do have some knowledge."
Feng Ling praised him.
"Heh, thanks a lot."
Fei rolled his eyes.
"I knew Lady Liwu came from an extraordinary background, but I never imagined it was to this extent."
Bai Yunqing sighed from the side. He was happy, of course, but the confidence in his eyes had dimmed somewhat.
Chu Feng noticed the change in Bai Yunqing and realized that he was feeling inadequate.
Truthfully, Bai Yunqing wasn't lacking either. His strength was considerable now, and he had obtained numerous inheritances—he was someone blessed with great fortune.
His future was promising.
But that was just how people were.
Love could make one humble enough to grovel in the dirt, and it could make one proud as the blazing sun.
Those who loved in vain were, for the most part, humbled by it.
Chu Feng was about to offer some words of encouragement.
But Liwu smiled and spoke first: "None of that matters. What matters is that one is fortunate enough to find like-minded friends in life—people like us."
"Lady Liwu speaks truly." Chu Feng immediately voiced his support.
"Exactly. Status may bring reverence, but it doesn't necessarily earn sincerity. Like-minded friends, on the other hand, truly can."
Xiao Yuer added.
Everyone agreed with this sentiment. Hearing her words, the smile on Bai Yunqing's face relaxed a little more.
"Then, regarding the Bright Moon Spirit Tower—is there anything else you remember about it?"
Chu Feng steered the conversation back to the main topic. Right now, he wanted to know everything about the Bright Moon Spirit Tower.
After all, it concerned Ziling's future.
"We do have some memories of the Bright Moon Spirit Tower."
"Inside it, three celestial oddities of tremendous power were sealed."
"And they were all further empowered by our lord's strength, making them extraordinarily formidable."
"Little sister Ziling, since you've already obtained their power, you should be able to feel it, right?"
