"Junior Brother Wen, I heard you would soon be returning to the Mortal World. Is it also to sever your mortal ties?"
Chapter 211: Landing
"No." Wen Xu heard his own voice, carrying a calmness even he had not noticed. "I'm going back for revenge."
For most cultivators, severing mortal ties was an unnecessary extra measure. Unless they truly wished to have little contact with their blood relatives and friends, the vast majority maintained very good relationships with their families.
Did one not see how so many cultivation Aristocratic Clans flourished through this? Even after reaching Spirit Transformation or even the Body Integration Realm, they still strove to shelter their Lineage and nurture their descendants. Before ascending, cultivators would always remain human.
But Wen Xu's circumstances were different.
He was gifted, yet he came from the Mortal Realm. Apart from Divine Venerable Cheng Wei, no one knew where he had come from or what he had experienced in the past. This trip back to the Mortal Realm would surely be his last. If he did not sever his mortal ties now, they would inevitably become a burden someday.
The reason Zhi Lianshan asked was because he himself had been "deeply burdened by them." He had betrayed his Lineage and entered Yonglu Mountain. To outsiders, he had completely cut ties with the Zhi Household, but only he knew that he was still one final kick away from the gate.
Within the Zhi Household, there was still one last soft spot he had yet to tear out.
Zheng Jin glanced at Zhi Lianshan. He was not surprised that the other would ask such a question, but he was clearly more concerned with his junior granduncle's answer. "You aren't severing your mortal ties? Are you planning to go back again in the future?"
