He Was... Good Only with His Mouth

After the four True Lords thanked him, they turned and departed.

Once they were far away, True Lord Xiaxuan furrowed her willow brows. A trace of confusion appeared on her lovely face as she asked softly, "You noticed it too, didn't you? True Lord Dao Origin's strength just now!"

True Lord Dishén nodded, his expression serious. "This mysterious junior nephew of ours has probably been concealing his strength! And not by a small amount!"

To become the Peak Master of one of Kaoshan Sect's peaks, one needed at least initial Heavenly Human Realm cultivation!

Ever since Hua Yunfei became Dao Origin Peak's Peak Master thirty years ago, his realm had also "smoothly" "broken through" to the initial Heavenly Human Realm.

With a smile on his face, True Lord Gouyuan rubbed his belly. Seemingly sensing the Dao Charm of the Enlightenment Tree Leaves emanating from his Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven, he chuckled and said:

"For this junior nephew's realm, just use his old father as a reference. In any case, don't fight him. First, you probably can't win. Second, if you offend him, you may not be able to get any benefits afterward."

True Lord Dishén did not like talking. Hearing this, he nodded in strong agreement.

Hua Yunfei's old father, the previous Peak Master of Dao Origin Peak, was a true old sixth.

His realm had been stuck at the initial Heavenly Human Realm for many years, yet during one fight with the Sect Master, he had actually pinned the Sect Master down and beaten him!

The realm he unleashed had frightened the Sect Master senseless.

A beautiful and generous smile appeared on True Lord Xiaxuan's lovely face. "This junior nephew is only a hundred years old, you know. Tsk, tsk... how are people supposed to live..."

They were all in a good frame of mind. No matter how strong Hua Yunfei was, he was still the Peak Master of a Kaoshan Sect peak.

He was an ally!

He gave them a sense of security!

Dao Origin Peak.

Hua Yunfei invited True Lord Yuntian inside. The two sat facing each other at a jade table, carefully savoring their tea.

The tea was not anything special.

It merely seemed to be ordinary spirit tree tea leaves that could save one ten years of cultivation.

True Lord Yuntian treasured every sip, enjoying the feeling of his Dao cultivation increasing within him. He looked at Hua Yunfei and asked, "What was that Imperial Might from before?"

"I just became an emperor and failed to control it."

Hua Yunfei smiled faintly, took a light sip of tea, and replied indifferently.

True Lord Yuntian shook his head with a smile.

There had been no emperor in the entire universe for tens of thousands of years.

Only thirty thousand years had passed since Great Emperor Xuanhuang's death.

The Imperial Dao Law suppressed the heavens, pressing down upon the Heaven and Earth Dao Law. No one could become an emperor!

For the next person to become an emperor, at least another seventy thousand years would have to pass!

And even then, the possibility was vanishingly small.

Since Great Emperor Xuanhuang's death, the Suppression of Heaven and Earth Great Dao had only grown more severe.

On today's Big Dipper Star, even producing a Saint Realm cultivator was difficult!

The Heaven and Earth Law was suppressing everything too fiercely!

How could Hua Yunfei, who had cultivated for merely a hundred years, possibly become an emperor?

Being able to break through to the initial Heavenly Human Realm was already proof of exceptional talent!

Hua Yunfei was unwilling to say more, and True Lord Yuntian did not press the matter. Instead, he said, "Some days ago, your father contacted me and asked me to relay a few matters to you."

"Oh? That old fellow still remembered me while he was out having fun?"

Hua Yunfei smiled in surprise.

Thirty years ago, his father, True Lord Dao Origin, had left the sect under the excuse that he had little lifespan remaining and needed to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough.

But Hua Yunfei knew exactly what kind of person his father was.

Little lifespan remaining?

Even when Hua Yunfei had practically forced Ginseng Fruit into his hands, he refused to eat it.

Even after it was forcibly stuffed into his mouth, he spat out the pulp.

Therefore, Hua Yunfei did not believe a single word of the excuse his father had given.

That guy simply wanted to cast off the sect's burden and go enjoy himself!

True Lord Yuntian and the previous True Lord Dao Origin were close friends, so naturally, he knew what sort of person the other was. Shaking his head with a smile, he said, "He asked me to relay two matters to you and told you that you must complete them."

Hua Yunfei asked, "What matters?"

"The first matter: find him a daughter-in-law. He wants to hold a grandson!"

Hua Yunfei's face darkened. "What about the second matter?"

True Lord Yuntian said, "Take in a disciple for Dao Origin Peak and hand the Peak Master position over to him in the future."

Hua Yunfei looked at True Lord Yuntian. "Not pass it to a son? As I recall, ever since the sect was founded, the Peak Masters of Dao Origin Peak have all been Hua Family ancestors, right? With me, it has already reached the hundredth generation."

True Lord Yuntian smiled awkwardly. "Your father said that we've been exploiting the Hua Clan's labor and that he refuses to keep doing it. He intends for this inheritance to end with your generation."

"Uh..."

Hua Yunfei was somewhat speechless. What kind of tune was this old man singing now? He had never mentioned it while he was here.

Still, it was true that Hua Yunfei had no interest in carrying on the family line either. Women, honestly, were a bit troublesome!

Suddenly, Hua Yunfei raised his brows, sensing something.

He took out a stone from his Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven.

It was a Sound Transmission Stone obtained through the system's Check-in. Anyone could use it to transmit their voice to him regardless of distance or location!

At this moment, it was the Ninety-ninth Generation True Lord Dao Origin calling him.

Hua Yunfei glanced at True Lord Yuntian before removing the restriction on the Sound Transmission Stone.

"Hello, Yunfei, are you there? Are you there? Can you hear me?"

"Mm, I can hear you. What is it, Old Father?"

"Oh, it's nothing much. I just wanted to tell you... wait, the Sect Master isn't beside you, right?"

Hua Yunfei looked at True Lord Yuntian. Seeing him shake his head, he said, "He isn't here. What is it? Go ahead."

The Sound Transmission Stone emitted a halo of light, and a voice came from it. "Old Father called you just to tell you this: hurry up and find a disciple, hand over the Peak Master position, and once you do, hurry and come find Old Father. I found a super fun place."

"What about the sect? You're just leaving it like that?"

"The sect? Hmph! That Fool Yun Tian, along with his master and his master's master, are all the same—exploiting our Hua Family every day. Do you know how many Hua Family Old Ancestors are lying in the Kaoshan Sect Ancestral Tomb?"

"Other main peaks' Peak Masters have only been passed down for a few dozen generations, but Dao Origin Peak alone has already been passed down for a hundred generations!"

"Why? Because our Hua Family has good genes! Every single one is a genius, and every single one quickly surpasses the sect's surface-level strength, smoothly entering the Ancestral Tomb, putting on a 'surface-level' death, hiding in the Ancestral Tomb, and becoming part of the sect's foundation!"

"If your old father hadn't run fast enough, I'd be lying in there too!"

Hua Yunfei awkwardly glanced at True Lord Yuntian, whose face had already turned black as the bottom of a pot. How was he supposed to respond to that?

It had been said so bluntly!

"Uh... Old Father... I understand. Is there anything else?"

Hua Yunfei spoke, suddenly feeling that the Sound Transmission Stone in his hand was like a hot potato. He desperately wanted to end the conversation.

He could already sense True Lord Yuntian's urge to tear his father apart alive!

"There's also this: hurry up and find a wife, give your old man a big fat boy, and let your mother hold her grandson."

"You know your mother's temper. If you don't do as she wishes, getting beaten together would be the least of our troubles!"

Hua Yunfei rolled his eyes. He had no interest in a Dao Companion, so he said, "Anything else?"

"Huh? You brat, I finally got the chance to chat with you, and you're in such a rush to hang up?"

True Lord Yuntian finally could not hold back. "Hua Cangqiong! You bastard..."

Beep...

The transmission from the other end of the Sound Transmission Stone immediately cut off, and the Sound Transmission Stone on that end was directly locked. There was no way to transmit back from this side.

"Uh, Sect Master, my old father is just like that... you know... he's just... good only with his mouth. Actually..."

Hua Yunfei did not know how to explain himself either.
