Chapter 1683: The Beginning of the Investiture of the Gods
Ren shrugged. "I'm not sure either! Ji Fa only knelt to me, and somehow I absorbed all his Purple Star Qi!"
Yun Zhongzi calmed down, his earlier silliness gone. "Strange... I've never heard of anything like this! A mortal emperor bowed to you, and you absorbed his Purple Star Qi? Could it have something to do with your position as the Ziwei Great Emperor?"
Yun Zhongzi could not make sense of it either. Ren said, "If you don't know, Martial Uncle, I certainly don't!"
Yun Zhongzi shook his head. "Never mind. More Purple Star Qi is a good thing! And Qi gained through a bow carries no Karma. It's practically free! But meeting people is one thing, boy. Don't get involved in mortal dynasties. A dynasty's Destiny might help you advance for a time, but no dynasty lasts forever. When it falls, that Destiny will turn against you!"
"I know that, Martial Uncle! Don't worry. I wouldn't dare interfere in the rise and fall of mortal dynasties! I only agreed to protect Ji Fa's descendants and keep his bloodline from dying out!"
Yun Zhongzi nodded. "I knew you weren't that foolish! You're sharper than a monkey. Keeping Ji Fa's bloodline alive is easy enough. Find one of his descendants and send him off to cultivate, or settle him somewhere prosperous and keep his family comfortable!"
Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and nodded at Ren.
Ren smiled. "Don't worry, Martial Uncle. I've thought it through! After Ji Fa dies, I'll find a talented descendant, sever his ties to the Zhou Dynasty, and guide him onto the path of cultivation. As long as one member of his bloodline cultivates, it won't die out!"
"You really are a sly one! Fine, do that.
