How did you raise him?

"My son... is he Heavenly Prodigy of the nobility?"

Upon hearing Ji Yunyu's words, Li Tiangang was somewhat stunned, unable to immediately grasp the meaning behind them.

That child has become the Ji Family Prodigy?

"That's right, your son escorted the War God's Soul of my Ji Family's war god back, and in order to see his mother, he challenged and defeated all the Heavenly Prodigy of my Ji Family. His Heavenly Talent is truly unparalleled throughout the ages!"

Ji Yunyu said that his eyes lit up when he mentioned Li Hao.

The earth-shattering battle that took place on the Heavenly Dao a few days ago is still vivid in my mind.

The other Ji Family standing nearby also showed expressions of reverence when they heard Ji Yunyu talk about the young man.

Defeating all the Heavenly Prodigy —just four simple words, but the difficulty is comparable to ascending to heaven. And that young man did it, forging an invincible legend with the Three Immortalities!

"Challenge all the Heavenly Prodigy of the Ji Family?"

Li Tiangang's heart skipped a beat.

He had long heard from his wife how outstanding the Ji Family's Heavenly Prodigy were, all of them outstanding talents, far surpassing the Heavenly Prodigy of the Great Yu Dynasty. He thought that any one of them could be as outstanding as his Ninth Brother, or even far surpass him.

"Then, he didn't bump into you, did he?"

Li Tiangang asked cautiously.

The defeat of an entire clan's Heavenly Prodigy is undoubtedly a great humiliation. If it weren't for the smile on the other party's face when he talked about it, he would have thought that Li Hao had been killed by the Ji Family in a fit of shame and anger.

"Haha, you're overthinking it. Your son is gentle and polite, neither arrogant nor impatient. How could he possibly offend us?"

Ji Yunyu laughed and said, "Besides, it's normal for a young man to be a bit impetuous and temperamental. Which Heavenly Prodigy isn't young and spirited? If he didn't have a unique personality and charm, how could he be called Heavenly Prodigy? He's just a lucky one who inherited his father's talent."

Li Tiangang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and echoed, "Senior is right."

"Is this your only son?" Ji Yunyu asked with a smile.

Li Tiangang nodded quickly. "He is an only son."

"You've done a good job training him," Ji Yunyu praised with a smile.

Li Tiangang was slightly taken aback, and his cheeks immediately felt a little hot. He didn't dare to look the other person in the eye.

To train?

When the child stepped out of the house earlier, his Second Uncle and Eldest Sister-in-Law told him about Li Hao's situation in the Li Family over the years.

Aside from food and drink, the child had basically never used the Li Family's Cultivation Resources, and the couple had never spent time with the child, so how could they possibly be talking about nurturing him now?

"We've arrived. This is my Ji Family."

Ji Yunyu said.

Li Tiangang looked up and saw the majestic mountain gate and the long, winding steps.

The mountain gate resembles the cast -Refinement corpses of dragons, appearing imposing and awe-inspiring.

Li Tiangang's eyes narrowed, and he immediately sensed the terrifying heritage of this Ancient Aristocratic Family, which was even more magnificent and powerful than their own Divine General Residence.

News of Ji Le Ping's father's arrival had already reached the Ji Family. As Li Tiangang followed Ji Yunyu up the mountain, many people came along the way to look at the father of the Dao Seed from afar.

Since Li Hao's series of sensational achievements a few days ago, including defeating Dao Seed Heavenly Prodigy, vying for the Saint's Mark, almost everyone in the Ji Family has been talking about this strongest Heavenly Prodigy.

When talking about Li Hao, it's inevitable to discuss his Half-Blood identity.

Everyone was speculating wildly and extremely curious about Li Hao's family Lineage.

Many people even speculate that Li Hao's mother may have been secretly married into an ancient, hidden Aristocratic Clan in the Great Wilderness, and that the combination of the two Bloodline gave birth to such a rare genius.

"That's Ji Le Ping's father?"

"The Aura of the Four Establishments Realm, a cultivator at the Defying Fate Realm. Their cultivation is decent, but they don't seem as powerful as I imagined."

"I've heard that they come from beyond the Great Wasteland Heaven, from the Jiang Family's Dynasty, a place where energy is scarce. To have cultivated to this level is perhaps already considered a sign of exceptional talent."

On the mountain path, many Ji Family watched from a distance, whispering among themselves.

These conversations inevitably reached Li Tiangang's ears, and he immediately felt that he was the center of attention. It seemed that these Ji Family were all observing him because of Li Hao.

Thinking of what Ji Yunyu said, that Li Hao defeated all the Heavenly Prodigy of the Ji Family, Li Tiangang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He had never doubted Li Hao's Heavenly Talent, but he never expected that Li Hao would still be able to lead the way and defeat all his peers after arriving at this Ancient Aristocratic Family.

Upon reaching the mountain's interior, Ji Yunyu dismissed the rest of those who had accompanied him to intimidate the Qin Family. He then led only a small group, including Li Tiangang, and continued their ascent to the Saint Mountain.

"Senior, are my son and Qingqing up ahead?"

As he continued upwards, Li Tiangang grew increasingly uneasy.

Ji Yunyu said, "Qingqing is imprisoned on Heaven Imprisoning Island for making a mistake, but your son has atoned for her sins and become Dao Seed, which can pardon his mother. You will be able to see them soon."

Li Tiangang was stunned. Had the child already absolved his mother of her sins?

Suddenly, the scene of him slapping the child in anger in the Divine General Residence that day flashed into his mind.

My heart suddenly clenched.

Can I still make amends?

He gritted his teeth slightly, remaining silent, but secretly made a decision: no matter how the child blamed or questioned him when they met, he would accept it, as long as the other party could calm down and forgive him.

Upon arriving at the Saint Mountain, many high-ranking members and elders of the Ji Family were already waiting there.

Upon hearing that Ji Le Ping's father had arrived, they all rushed over to give him a grand welcome.

If it were before, the man Ji Qingqing married out of the family would have been executed on the spot if he dared to come to the Ji Family. But now, because of his son's status and the fact that he has raised Heavenly Prodigy like Ji Le Ping, the Ji Family has to treat him with respect.

"These are the elders of my Ji Family."

When Ji Yunyu saw these elders coming to greet him, some of whom were not originally familiar with the Yun generation, he did not give them any attitude. Instead, he smiled and introduced them to everyone equally.

After all, family scandals should not be aired in public. When meeting Ji Qingqing's husband for the first time, she should at least show the harmonious side of the Ji Family.

Li Tiangang's expression changed slightly when he saw these old men. Although most of them had concealed their Aura, he could still sense that many of them were at the same level as his Second Uncle, and some of them were even more powerful, probably all at the Great Peace Dao Realm!

In the Great Yu Dynasty, these were all powerful figures comparable to Buddha Master, yet here several of them have appeared one after another.

Greetings, esteemed seniors.

Li Tiangang cupped his hands in a salute.

The elders did not put on airs and quickly returned the greetings politely, exchanging pleasantries.

Li Tiangang was somewhat surprised and felt flattered by the smiling faces and polite greetings from everyone.

His wife had previously told him how strict the Ji Family Clan Rules were, and that if he came, he would surely face thunderous attacks and wrath, but everything he was experiencing now made him feel unreal.

What Li Tiangang heard along the way, and the intentional or unintentional mentions of Ji Le Ping in conversations with these old men, made him realize that it all seemed to be because of that child.

It was his arrival that settled everything for him and resolved all the troubles.

Even he dared not easily set foot in the Ji Family, yet that child came and atoneed for Qingqing's sins, which also led to the Ji Family recognizing his identity!

Amidst these pleasantries, Li Tiangang's feelings grew increasingly complex and indescribable.

His father Li Tianzong's words from before unconsciously echoed in his ears again.

That child was exceptionally talented.

If we don't bring him back, I will die with my eyes wide open in disbelief!

Nowadays, even these powerful members of the Ji Family are being so polite, their words full of praise for the child.

Besides feeling guilty and remorseful, Li Tiangang also felt somewhat lost.

Was I really so wrong?

"You are Ji Le Ping's father?"

A voice came from the crowd; it was very young.

Li Tiangang looked up and saw a group of young figures standing in another place, with one person in the lead. He was a young man with an outstanding figure and a handsome appearance, who seemed to be otherworldly and had a transcendent temperament.

What shocked Li Tiangang was that although the other party looked to be only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, his restrained Aura was in no way inferior to that of Ji Yunyu, who had led him up the mountain earlier.

This is... the Great Peace Dao Realm?

Who are you?

Li Tiangang asked cautiously.

"He was originally the strongest Heavenly Prodigy of my Ji Family, Ji Xuanshen!"

An elder beside them smiled and introduced Ji Xuanshen and the other Heavenly Prodigy: "He is twenty-six years old this year and has already reached the Great Peace Dao Realm. He is expected to become the War God of our Ji Family in the future. These people behind him are also Ji Family Prodigy."

At this point, he turned to look at Li Tiangang and smiled:

"But they all lost to your son."

When Li Tiangang heard the other party's age and cultivation level, he was already greatly shocked. When he heard the elder's last words, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't control his expression as he stared at the other party in horror.

Are these all the Ji Family Prodigy?

Li Hao defeated them all?!

He originally thought that although Li Hao was strong, the Ji Family Prodigy was defeated by him and was probably only at the Defying Fate Realm, or at most the Ultimate Unique Skill Realm. But in front of him, the young man was actually at the Great Peace Dao Realm!

Such Heavenly Prodigy, defeated by that child?

"Could it be that your son has recently broken through in cultivation? It seems you don't know much about your son's strength."

Seeing Li Tiangang's shocked expression, one of the elders couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

These words, spoken casually, struck Li Tiangang's heart like a heavy hammer, leaving him with a ringing in his ears.

I don't know much about it...

It seems so. If the child hadn't revealed it himself, in Qing Prefecture and Liang Prefecture, he really wouldn't have known the extent of his cultivation.

Li Tiangang's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He didn't speak, but felt as if his blood was boiling. He was filled with complicated and painful feelings and couldn't wait to see Li Hao.

Ji Xuanshen sized up the middle-aged man, his eyes calm, and said:

"I'm here only to know how you cultivated him, what resources and Cultivation Method you gave him?"

When Li Tiangang saw the young man's question, his expression changed slightly. If the other party hadn't remained calm and emotionless, he would have even suspected that the other party was deliberately mocking him.

He was speechless.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Ji Xuanshen frowned slightly and said, "It's normal that these things are inconvenient to talk about. Then I would like to ask, were your ancestors also Sage, or did they have some other Bloodline? Otherwise, how could he defeat me with only the Three Immortalities Realm?"

"The Three Immortalities Realm..."

Li Tiangang doubted his ears again. He thought that the child had condensed his Dao Heart and broken through to the Four Establishments Realm during his time in the Great Wasteland Heaven. But it turned out that he had defeated the Ji Family Prodigy with only the Three Immortalities Realm Great Peace Dao Realm?!

"Um?"

Ji Xuanshen stared at him, a hint of doubt in his eyes. This man seemed shocked by everything he said, as if they were talking about someone else, a complete stranger.

But didn't Elder Yunyu say that the other party was the boy's father?

He was filled with doubt. As the Ji Family Prodigy, he was used to being unrestrained, so he asked directly, "Are you really his father?"

Li Tiangang snapped out of his daze. Hearing these words and seeing the suspicion in the other person's eyes, he felt his face burning with embarrassment. He lowered his head and said:

"That child is growing up too fast, there are some things I don't know very well, but I am indeed his father."

Ji Xuanshen glanced at him twice, thinking that it was not easy to cultivate to the Four Establishments Realm, and he would not come to the Ji Family to impersonate someone and die for nothing. He nodded and did not say anything more, but a trace of regret appeared in his eyes.

It seems that even his father was unaware of the boy's cultivation. Could it be that it was all simply due to exceptional Heavenly Talent?

He was unwilling to admit it, otherwise it would be too much of a blow to these Heavenly Prodigy individuals.

If someone can surpass those nurtured by the Ji Family's resources simply through Heavenly Talent, doesn't that mean they have a completely overwhelming advantage in terms of Heavenly Talent?

"Elders, where is my son now?"

Seeing the young man leave without asking any more questions, Li Tiangang felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart.

He immediately asked the many elders around him, feeling an extremely strong urge to see Li Hao right away.

"That boy Leping insisted on going to pick up his mother in person, and he's already gone to Heaven Imprisoning Island."

Ji Yunqing rushed over from the crowd and spoke gently to Li Tiangang.

Li Tiangang's expression changed slightly. He thought of how Li Hao and Qingqing hadn't seen each other for over ten years. The other party would rather change her surname to follow her mother's than have the surname Li. At least he had returned to the Li Family and spent some time with him.

However, recalling the time they spent together and the angry slap, his face turned ugly, and he quickly said:

"I'll go too. Senior, could you tell me where Heaven Imprisoning Island is?"

"It's dangerous there, you can just wait here," Ji Yunqing said with a smile, trying to reassure her.

Li Tiangang shook his head, then suddenly bowed deeply, his eyes earnest and pleading, and said:

"Please, senior, grant me permission to see them, Mother and Son. I have wronged them greatly. This matter should have been my own responsibility to come to the Ji Family to take the blame; it shouldn't be borne by a child. Please allow me to do something for them!"

Everyone was taken aback and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing that he had gone this far, Ji Yunqing thought for a moment and said, "Alright, now that the Wild Sea is calm, it would be good for your family to reunite and come back together. It would be a joyous occasion."

When Li Tiangang heard him mention "a joyful and harmonious family," a warm and peaceful scene immediately came to mind: a family of three laughing together.

He was suddenly filled with an indescribable excitement, and he couldn't wait to see Li Hao and ask for his forgiveness.

After more than a decade of fighting in Northern Yan, wasn't that the scene he had longed for?

Now that he has been discharged from the army and returned home, the battles and clamor on the Border Pass have faded away, and he longs for this scene in his heart: his wife sitting peacefully in the Courtyard, and his son showing filial piety before him.
