He Was... All Talk

After thanking him, True Lord Gouyuan and the other three turned and departed.

Once they had gone some distance, True Lord Xiaxuan's willow brows furrowed. A trace of confusion appeared on her pretty face as she asked softly, "You all noticed it too, didn't you? True Lord Dao Origin's strength just now!"

True Lord Dishén nodded, his expression grave. "This mysterious junior nephew of ours has probably been hiding his strength! And not by just a little!"

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

Ever since Hua Yunfei had become 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 stomach. Seemingly sensing the Dao Charm of the Enlightenment Tree Leaves emanating from the Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven, he chuckled and said:

"For this junior nephew's realm, just use his father as a reference. In any case, don't fight him. First, you won't be able to beat him. Second, if you offend him, you might not get any benefits in the future."

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

Hua Yunfei's old man, the previous generation's Dao Origin Peak Master, was an out-and-out old sixth.

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

The realm he erupted with left the Sect Master utterly dumbfounded.

A smile bloomed on True Lord Xiaxuan's lovely face. Beautiful and poised, she said, "This junior nephew is only a hundred years old, you know. Tsk, tsk... how are the rest of us supposed to live..."

The few of them had a good mindset. No matter how strong Hua Yunfei was, he was still the Peak Master of Kaoshan Sect.

He was one of their own!

He gave them a sense of security!

Dao Origin Peak.

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

The tea was not anything good.

It seemed to be merely ordinary spirit tree tea leaves that could offset ten years of cultivation after drinking them.

True Lord Yuntian savored the tea with great care, enjoying the feeling of his cultivation growing within him. Looking at Hua Yunfei, he asked, "What was that Imperial Might earlier?"

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

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

True Lord Yuntian shook his head with a smile.

For tens of thousands of years, no Emperor had arisen under the Great Dao of the universe.

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

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

For anyone to become an Emperor again, at least another seventy thousand years would have to pass!

And even then, the possibility was minuscule.

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

On the current Big Dipper Star, even the birth of a Saint Realm expert was difficult!

The Heaven and Earth Law was suppressing them far too harshly!

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

Being able to break through to the initial Heavenly Human Realm was already an extraordinary talent!

Since Hua Yunfei did not wish to say more, True Lord Yuntian did not press the matter. He said, "Some days ago, your father contacted me and asked me to pass a few things on to you."

"Oh? That old fellow is still having so much fun that he remembers me?"

Hua Yunfei smiled in surprise.

Thirty years ago, his father, True Lord Dao Origin, had left the sect under the pretext that he did not have much lifespan left and needed to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough.

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

Not much lifespan left?

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

Even when one was forcibly stuffed into his mouth, he spat out the flesh.

Therefore, Hua Yunfei did not believe a single word of his father's excuse.

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

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

Hua Yunfei said, "What things?"

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

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

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

Hua Yunfei looked at True Lord Yuntian. "Not pass it on to my son? As I recall, ever since the sect was founded, Dao Origin Peak's Peak Masters have all been ancestors of the Hua Family, right? By my generation, it's already the hundredth."

True Lord Yuntian gave an awkward smile. "Your father said that we've been exploiting the Hua Clan's labor and that he refuses to do it anymore. He intends to end this inheritance with your generation."

"Uh..."

Hua Yunfei was somewhat speechless. What kind of tune was this? His father had never mentioned it to him while he was around.

Still, it was true that he had no interest in continuing the family line either. Women, honestly, were a bit troublesome!

Suddenly, Hua Yunfei raised a brow, having sensed something.

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

It was a Sound Transmission Stone, obtained through the system's Check-in. Anyone could send him a voice transmission through it, regardless of distance or location!

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

After glancing at True Lord Yuntian, Hua Yunfei removed the restriction on the Sound Transmission Stone.

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

"Yes, I can hear you. What is it, Dad?"

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

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

The Sound Transmission Stone glowed as a voice came from it. "Dad called you because I wanted to tell you to hurry up and find a disciple, hand over the Peak Master position, and come find Dad once you do. I found an incredibly fun place."

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

"The sect? Hmph! That idiot Yun Tian is just like his master and his master's master, exploiting our Hua Family every single day. Do you know how many Hua Family Old Ancestors are lying inside Kaoshan Sect Ancestral Tomb?"

"Other main peaks have only passed through several dozen generations of Peak Masters, but Dao Origin Peak alone has been passed down for a hundred generations!"

"Why? Because our Hua Family has good genes! Every one of us is a genius, and every one of us quickly surpasses the sect's apparent strength, smoothly enters the Ancestral Tomb, puts on a 'public' death, then hides in the Ancestral Tomb to become part of the sect's foundation!"

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

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

He had said it so bluntly!

"Uh... Dad... I understand. Is there anything else?"

Hua Yunfei said, 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 is. Hurry up and find a wife, give your old man a big fat son. Your mother is waiting to hold her grandson."

"You know your mother's temper. If you don't satisfy her, getting beaten up together would be the least of our worries!"

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

"Hey! You brat, I finally get the chance to chat with you, and you're this eager to hang up?"

True Lord Yuntian finally could not endure it any longer. "Hua Cangqiong! You bastard..."

Beep...

The voice transmission immediately cut off from the other end, and the Sound Transmission Stone there was directly locked. Even if they wanted to send a transmission back, they could no longer do so.

"Uh, Sect Master, my dad is just like that... you know... he's... all talk, actually..."

Hua Yunfei did not know how to explain it either.
