Family and Past
"Your family... your family is doing very well! Among all of us old classmates, your family is the best off." Ye Fan sighed, somewhat wistfully.
When he traveled from his hometown to Big Dipper atop Mount Tai in Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, most of them were already close to twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old; decades later, when he returned to Earth, he was already over fifty.
In this situation, most of the elders in the family are in their seventies or eighties.
Especially since most of their generation are only children, their parents are depressed every day after their children pass away, and their lives have lost their smiles. In addition, the earth is still in the End of Dharma Age, so their lifespan cannot be very long.
After Ye Fan returned to Earth, he visited the homes of all his classmates, including those of Li Changqing and Liu Yunzhi, who were his enemies. At that time, there were very few people left whose parents were still alive.
"Your parents are doing very well. Although they were already in their seventies, almost eighty, when I went back, they were in good health, looking like middle-aged people in their forties." Ye Fan looked at Zhou Tong. "You must have given them the White Tiger Divine Medicine elixir, right?"
Previously, Ye Fan did not know that Zhou Tong possessed the White Tiger Divine Medicine. However, after returning to Earth and visiting Kunlun Mountain Kunlun Mountain, where he saw the semi-divine medicine, he realized that Zhou Tong was carrying the White Tiger Divine Medicine.
Ye Fan's expression towards Zhou Tong was somewhat off.
You actually possess five Immortal Divine Medicine: the White Tiger Divine Medicine, the Kirin Divine Medicine, the Bodhi Tree Divine Medicine, the Humanoid Divine Medicine, and the Fusang Divine Tree! This Fortune is simply too heaven-defying!
Even Ancient Emperor Great Emperor would be envious if they knew.
Zhou Tong nodded. He knew that Ye Fan had been to Kunlun Mountain and must know that Ye Fan had taken the White Tiger Divine Medicine with him.
"After so many years of friendship, Ye Fan has almost figured out everything about Ye Fan!" Zhou Tong thought to himself, somewhat speechless.
Ye Fan continued, "I successfully passed on what you entrusted to me to your parents. They were overjoyed to learn that you were still alive and had even married a princess. By the way, I didn't dare tell them you were a princess of the Demon Clan race, for fear they wouldn't be able to accept it. →_→"
"However, they don't seem to be planning to embark on the path of cultivation; they just want to live out their lives peacefully..."
"Is that so..." Zhou Tong sighed slightly, his eyes looking out of the restaurant, towards the mountains of the ancient star outside the Human Race Tenth City.
"Don't worry too much. They are very optimistic and cheerful. Although they are already 110 years old, with the White Tiger Divine Medicine you gave them, they can live for another 20 years without any problem. Perhaps you can still go back to visit them..." Ye Fan comforted them, "Moreover, the spiritual energy on Earth is beginning to recover, so they may be able to hold on for another 30 years."
"And you can rest assured, they have your younger siblings to take care of them!" Ye Fan added.
"Younger brother and sister?" Zhou Tong suddenly looked at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan laughed and said, "You gave them the White Tiger Divine Medicine, so they are at least thirty years younger. Plus, you left behind a lot of wealth and then disappeared. At the same time, the country relaxed the birth policy, so it's normal for them to have a few more babies, isn't it?"
"That's true!" Zhou Tong laughed as well.
As they spoke, Ye Fan took out a photo and handed it to Zhou Tong, saying, "This is your younger brother Zhou Qing and younger sister Zhou Ya. They are twins. Although they are not Hegemon Body, they are exceptionally talented. Even in the Big Dipper, they would be enough to become Holy Son and Saintess of Great Sage. When you left Earth, your parents asked me to bring this photo to you."
Zhou Tong took the photo, examined it carefully, and then solemnly put it away.
As for natural talent, Zhou Tong wasn't too worried at all.
In the cultivation world, the most common situation is that parents determine their children's talents. If one's parents have consumed a trace of the White Tiger Divine Medicine, their children are naturally more likely to be geniuses.
As for the Hegemon Body, they certainly couldn't Hegemon Body, since their parents didn't have the bloodline of the Hegemon Body. Zhou Tong knew perfectly well how he acquired his Hegemon Body; it had nothing to do with his parents' bloodline.
"They came to the cultivation world with you and went to the Big Dipper?" Zhou Tong asked in return.
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "The essence of heaven and earth on Earth has begun to recover, so it's better for them to stay on Earth. Anyway, with the complete ' True Sun Scripture ' and cultivation resources that you left behind, they don't need to follow me to Big Dipper. In the future, they may be able to fight their way out of Earth on their own."
"It's good that they stayed on Earth. With the revival of heaven and earth, they can benefit greatly from the process. But how did you Dao Self left behind the ' True Sun Scripture '?" Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan with disdain. "You peeked at what I left behind? →_→"
"What do you mean by peeping!"
Ye Fan immediately exploded. "You really think that just because you left behind the ' True Sun Scripture,' they can start cultivating it directly? Without me helping them establish their foundation and teaching them the basics of cultivation, they wouldn't even understand it!!"
"I spent half a year specifically teaching them the scriptures, otherwise your ' True Sun Scripture ' would be a waste! →_→" Ye Fan glanced at Zhou Tong with the same look in his eyes.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter if I show you the ' True Sun Scripture '." Zhou Tong didn't dwell on the matter any longer. In fact, when Zhou Tong gave these things to Ye Fan, he had already tacitly agreed that Ye Fan could look at them as he pleased.
"Come on, let's drink! Let's keep talking! Back then..." Zhou Tong raised his glass and clinked it against Ye Fan's.
Having not seen Ye Fan for many years, there were still many things to talk about, such as the situation on Mars, the current state of Big Dipper, and some matters concerning the Yongheng Star Domain.
On Mars, just like in the original story, Ye Fan encountered the Crocodile Ancestor had been suppressed under the Great Thunder Sound Temple as soon as he returned to Mars. In the end, Ye Fan had no choice but to release the Yin-Yang dual-cultivator Human Demon that Zhou Tong had given them, and immediately turned the Lifetime Crocodile Ancestor into a dish.
Nothing particularly noteworthy happened in Big Dipper. The Heavenly Emperor Son was killed by Zhou Tong, and the other Imperial Son also realized the huge gap between themselves and Zhou Tong, so they stopped causing trouble in Big Dipper and went into the starry sky to train. Therefore, after Ye Fan returned to Big Dipper from Earth, nothing much happened.
With nothing happening in Big Dipper, Ye Fan didn't linger Big Dipper any longer. Instead, he entered the starry sky and ventured into the Ancient Starry Road.
Then, just like in the original story, after obtaining the coordinates of the Big Dipper, the Yongheng Star Domain immediately went to war with Big Dipper. Now, having been plundered by Zhou Tong and losing too many resources, their desire to wage war against the Yongheng Star Domain Big Dipper is even stronger, and they are engaged in a relentless, deadly Big Dipper.
Of course, no Imperial Weapon were involved in this battle between Eternal Ancient Star and the Big Dipper. Both the Imperial Son and Dao Yi had already set off beforehand, and naturally, the Imperial Weapon also followed the Imperial Son, leaving the Big Dipper.
Therefore, Big Dipper and Eternal Ancient Star are currently in a stalemate. At least that was the case when Ye Fan left the Yongheng Star Domain to continue his journey; what will happen after that is hard to say.
The two drank and chatted.
