Qi Xuangang!

When Sky River Great Elder heard the name, his arms trembled slightly. He stared at Ye Futian and was silent for a moment.

Ye Futian narrowed his eyes slightly. From Sky River Great Elder’s look, he could tell that Sky River Great Elder knew his teacher. There must be a reason for Lord Taixuan to bring him here.

Moreover, Lord Taixuan brought him here because of his cultivation method, so did it mean that this cultivation method was related to Sky River Great Elder?

Could it be…

He thought of a possibility.

“How is he doing now? Is he okay?” after a moment of silence, Sky River Great Elder pulled back from thoughts and asked Ye Futian.

“I had some troubles in the Heavenly Mandate Realm before, and my teacher and I were separated. Now I don’t know where he is, but I think he should be fine,” Ye Futian said. After all, Teacher was in Renhuang Plane.

“What is his cultivation level?” Sky River Great Elder asked.

“He entered the Renhuang Plane a few years ago,” Ye Futian replied.

“His progress is too slow. How could he enter Renhuang Plane just a few years ago?” Sky River Great Elder shook his head and said. “At that time, his cultivation was slow, but I didn’t expect it would get even slower.”

“Sir, you are my Teacher’s…?” Ye Futian asked, even though he had his own speculations. Hearing Sky River Great Elder’s words, he had had his answer.

“The Deed of Thorough Comprehension is my cultivation method,” Sky River Great Elder said to Ye Futian.

“It’s just as I thought,” Ye Futian thought, his heart shivering. He gazed at the old man and then bowed down to the Sky River Great Elder again. This time, he saluted carefully and said, “Ye Futian is here to salute you, my Grandmaster.”

“Your teacher is my son-in-law,” Sky River Great Elder said again. Ye Futian was stunned and felt pain in his heart.

“What happened to Teacher’s wife…” Ye Futian murmured. He could slightly tell something bad had happened to her, but he still wanted to be hopeful. Teacher raised Feixue alone, so it was very possible…

“It has been many years since she passed away.” The old man sighed and looked up at the sky. There was still sorrow in his eyes.

“It’s been so many years. Time to let it go.” Lord Taixuan sighed.

Sky River Great Elder didn’t reply and looked at Ye Futian. Somehow nervous, he asked, “Does your teacher have a daughter …”

“Yes,” Ye Futian said and nodded.

“How is she?” Sky River Great Elder asked, staring at him with anxious eyes. Ye Futian speculated that he very likely knew about Feixue, which was why he was worried and even doubted whether or not Feixue was still alive.

“She’s fine, but there is some problem with her eyes,” Ye Futian said. Sky River Great Elder sighed with relief and nodded, saying, “Good.”

“However, now that he is determined to leave, why do you show up here?” Sky River Great Elders whispered. He did not understand. The Heavenly Mandate Realm was one of the Nine Supreme Realms. He had ambition there, so why should he return? Was it because of the white-haired young man?

Lord Taixuan said that he broke into the ancestral land of the Divine Palace, and he brought Ye Futian here personally. He also noticed that this young man was indeed a person with good fortune. Perhaps Qi Xuangang was willing to venture out because of the young man.

“From now on, tell the outside world that you are my disciple and that I taught you the Deed of Thorough Comprehension,” Sky River Great Elder looked at Ye Futian and said. “Do you understand?”

Ye Futian shook his head. He was confused and said, “Does my teacher have foes?”

“Yes,” Sky River Great Elder nodded and said.

“Very powerful?” Ye Futian asked.

“I can’t fight them at all. Even Taixuan now has no way to do it,” Sky River Great Elder said. Although he obviously knew that Lord Taixuan had entered a higher Plane, he still said that even Lord Taixuan had no way to fight them. One could imagine how powerful the foes were.

Ye Futian’s face turned pale. How could Teacher offend such a powerful enemy?

Was it because of the thing in Feixue’s body?

That thing had attracted the Life Spirit World Tree once when Ye Futian’s Plane was low. Now it seemed that this thing was likely to be a divine treasure of the Great Path, which naturally contained Path. Because of that thing’s existence, Feixue had been under threat of death and needed deep sleep. After he controlled the thing with his Life Spirit, Feixue’s progress in cultivation was incredibly fast.

That treasure could perfectly fit Feixue’s body.

However, with Teacher’s Saint Cultivation Plane at that time, it was nearly impossible for him to obtain such a treasure unless it was the Sky River Great Elder who got it.

So, Teacher was his son-in-law.

“Although I am not clear on what happened back then, I know a little bit. It is said that it triggered the battle that destroyed the realm. Your Grandmaster used to preach around the world, and the Tianhe Realm was extremely prosperous. His students scattered all over the Tianhe Realm, but numerous of them died in that battle. So did your Teacher’s wife,” Lord Taixuan said.

“Were my Teacher and Feixue the only ones alive?” Ye Futian murmured. He couldn’t imagine the battle that destroyed the realm, but he suddenly understood many things that happened previously and could better understand his teacher as a person. Did some of his ideas also come from the Sky River Great Elder?

He remembered that when he said the Path was boundless, Teacher was quite touched. Although he did not have many disciples, his philosophy should also inherit from the Sky River Great Elder. However, unlike the Sky River Great Elder, he could only create the Great Li Academy in the Great Li Dynasty.

“When I escorted your teacher away, he was also severely wounded and in a dangerous situation. I don’t know anything about him later,” the Sky River Great Elder said.

“Emperor Li is gracious to Teacher,” Ye Futian thought of this, and suddenly, he understood something. No wonder Teacher asked for death and only asked for Feixue to leave at that time. He had no regrets.

Perhaps in Teacher’s eyes, nothing was important anymore as long as Feixue lived.

“Who offended Teacher? What is the thing in Feixue’s body, and why did Teacher’s foes want to destroy the realm?” Ye Futian asked, anxious. There were many doubts in his heart that he wanted to solve.

“You know about the thing in Feixue’s body?” Sky River Great Elder asked, looking at Ye Futian, a little surprised. It seemed that Ye Futian knew a lot of things. How could Qi Xuangang value him so much?

“Yes,” Ye Futian nodded. He would not say that he had helped Feixue control that thing.

Sky River Great Elder gave Ye Futian a serious look.

“It is a long story,” Sky River Great Elder said with a sigh. “In fact, it has nothing to do with your teacher. He is also a victim. If I had not married Nongyue to him, he should have had a prosperous future.”

“May I know more?” Ye Futian bowed and said. He wanted to know what happened at that time.

“Sit down and listen to me,” the old man said with a sigh. He sat down in front of Lord Taixuan. Ye Futian nodded and sat down beside the two. He wanted to hear his teacher’s story carefully.

It was about Teacher’s past, and he wanted to know more.

He was clear how the Dali Imperial Advisor treated him. When he was in the Crimson Dragon Realm, Teacher could have killed him and taken the credit, but he didn’t do so.

“I don’t know where to start,” Sky River Great Elder said and seemed to be caught up in memories. Lord Taixuan said, “In fact, the story is not complicated. It was probably a beautiful mistake for you to be together.”

Ye Futian froze. Did this matter involve Great Elder’s wife?

“You have been to the Heavenly Mandate Realm and the Upper Heaven Realm of the Nine Great Supreme Realm. I guess you have not been to other realms yet. In one of the Nine Great Supreme Realms, there is a super force with a long history. Your grandmaster has a very deep relationship with them and was even tied in marriage with one talented lady of the clan who was your grandmaster’s wife. At that time, the couple was the envy of everyone,” Lord Taixuan said with emotionally. He was very young when he met Sky River Great Elders.

“At that time, she was still so beautiful, stunning,” Sky River Great Elder recalled the beauty of his wife.

“You were also charismatic and gallant back then,” Lord Taixuan said, smiling.

“It was many years ago,” Sky River Great Elder shook his head and said.

“All of this may be due to the character. If you had entered the force with her then, you would now have a transcendent status in the Supreme Realm, but you chose to preach in the Tianhe Realm,” said Lord Taixuan.

“What I pursue is different,” Sky River Great Elder shook his head and said. “She is also willing to follow me and preach in the Tianhe Realm. The majority of my disciples, good or bad, were excellent. Qi Xuangang was one of my disciples; however, he is not an outstanding one among them.”

Sky River Great Elders looked at Ye Futian and said, “However, although your teacher’s talent is not very outstanding, his state of mind is transcendent, somewhat similar to mine. Although his cultivation was not fast, he was definitely the type that could achieve great success. Therefore, I gave special attention to him, so your teacher got familiar with my daughter.

“It was not supposed to be a problem, but the blood of that clan also flowed in Nongyue’s body. They had other thoughts, but even so, she and I still had our right to speak up. But the problem was, that thing was involved.”

The Sky River Great Elder showed pain in his eyes. “Your teacher’s Masteress—my wife—had extremely outstanding talent. During the competition of that thing, it was actually she and I who obtained it. Her clan negotiated with us, and in the end, we decided to place that thing in my daughter’s body—that is to say, into the body of your teacher’s wife. As she grew up, she was the attention of the whole family, and her status in the family was also important.”

“However, she fell in love with my teacher,” Ye Futian whispered. This might be the sin. The Grandmaster also said, “Your teacher’s state of mind was extraordinary, and he could have been successful later in life, but after all, his talent was not the best at that time. As the successor of the top family who was reared with high expectations, she was not allowed to fall in love with a man like him.”

Probably, this was the original sin.

“If I let them break up at that time, maybe it would only be painful for a while, but the two most important women in my life are much more stubborn than me. No wonder they are mother and daughter.” Sky River Great Elder sighed. “Later, the situation became worse, and countless people in Tianhe Realm stood up for it. In the end, it caused irreparable consequences. The Shen Clan was furious and exterminated the whole realm, and the Tianhe Realm was stained with blood. It was my sin.”

“What about her?” Ye Futian’s heart shivered. Teacher’s wife passed away, but what about Sky River Great Elder’s wife?

“She was taken back and imprisoned in the clan. I don’t know if she is alive or dead,” Sky River Great Elder said, looking up at the sky!
