Chapter 1476 - 1409: Are You... Grandfather?

"Divine Might!"

Qin Feiyang's eyes trembled.

The people below, including Second Grandfather, were stunned at first, but then they all had expressions of ecstatic surprise.

"Although I suppressed my cultivation, as you can see, I have already entered the Pseudo God realm."

"You should also know that after stepping into the Pseudo God, my physical body will undergo a qualitative change."

"Although our exchange was brief, your ability to endure this long without suffering severe injuries already speaks to your impressive strength."

Luk Jiajin smiled at Qin Feiyang.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feiyang couldn't help but smile wryly.

Breaking through to Pseudo God signifies that Luk Jiajin has shed his mortal form, becoming a Pseudo God's body.

Though his current physical body is strong, there's still a long way to go before it can compare with a Pseudo God's body.

After all.

A Pseudo God's body is practically akin to half a Divine Body.

So it's no surprise that he felt a sense of powerlessness during his clash with Luk Jiajin.

"Phew!"

Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, elder cousin, for holding back."

"You don't have to be modest. Although I suppressed my cultivation, I didn't hold back."

"I have great faith in you."

"I also believe it won't be long before you catch up to me."

Luk Jiajin smiled.

"I will work hard."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Luk Jiajin smiled again, glanced down at Second Grandfather, and said, "Second Grandfather, I need to go stabilize my cultivation, so I'll take my leave for now."

"You two cousins have just met for the first time. Don't you want to spend some quality time with Feiyang?"

"Besides, your achievement of reaching Pseudo God is an enormous occasion for our Luk Family, worthy of celebration."

Second Grandfather said.

"There will be plenty of time in the future."

Luk Jiajin smiled faintly before nodding at Qin Feiyang and turning away elegantly, leaving everyone with an ethereal silhouette.

"Luk Jiajin, elder cousin..."

Qin Feiyang muttered to himself, watching that silhouette.

To reach Pseudo God at such a young age, this person is indeed an extraordinary genius.

What would Zhuge Mingyang think if he found out that someone born on the same year, month, and day as him has now ascended to Pseudo God, standing above billions of souls?

...

Time slipped away.

Evening!

The entire Luk Family was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.

Firstly because Qin Feiyang returned home.

Secondly because of Luk Jiajin's sudden breakthrough into Pseudo God.

Even Second Grandfather couldn't help but drink a few extra glasses.

Qin Feiyang really enjoyed this feeling.

Surrounded by family, hearing nothing but caring voices, with no devious schemes, everyone was joyfully content.

That night.

He also drank a lot of wine.

At midnight!

The moon in the sky was full, and the moonlight was hazy.

The villagers were mostly asleep.

In a courtyard, Qin Feiyang accompanied Second Grandfather, sitting at a stone table, drinking tea, and chatting leisurely.

Second Grandfather smiled, "Feiyang, this time you came back, you must have other matters to discuss!"

"Yes."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Go ahead, speak up!"

Second Grandfather said.

Qin Feiyang immediately explained to Second Grandfather about the ten types of Danfire and Lu Xingchen's conspiracy in great detail.

After listening, Second Grandfather bowed his head in deep thought.

Qin Feiyang didn't interrupt him.

After a long time.

A sharp gleam flashed in Second Grandfather's eyes as he looked at Qin Feiyang, saying, "You killed Ren Duxing and severely damaged the Mu Family of the Forgotten Continent, yet despite this, Lu Xingchen still hasn't made a move against you, which shows he has larger schemes in mind."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Second Grandfather was silent for a moment, then sighed, "I understand your intention, to turn the tables and eliminate Lu Xingchen, resolving this calamity, but Feiyang, I can only apologize to you."

"Why?"

"Last time I came, although I was receiving an inheritance, I was aware of everything that happened then."

"I remember, apart from you and Third Grandfather, there were also ten Pseudo Gods at that time."

"With such a powerful lineup, I truly don't understand what you could still be wary of?"

Qin Feiyang said.

"Some things are far more complicated than you think."

"As for the Mu Family's foundation, although I'm unclear, I'm certain it's not that simple."

Second Grandfather said.

Qin Feiyang frowned, "You mean, aside from Mu Changyun and Mu Changfeng, the Mu Family is hiding other Pseudo Gods?"

"That's inevitable."

"After all, even our Luk Family has so many Pseudo Gods, let alone the ambitious Mu Family."

"However, the Mu Family isn't the reason for my concern."

Second Grandfather said, a hint of bitterness in his expression.

"Then what is the reason?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

"I can't tell you now."

"I can only say this: although I also want to enter the Divine Sign, I cannot go."

"Not only can I not go, but even Third Grandfather, along with the ten Pseudo Gods you know, cannot go either."

"To be precise, the Pseudo Gods of our Luk Family cannot leave the Great Qin Empire."

Second Grandfather sighed, his old face full of melancholy.

"Why is this, exactly?"

Qin Feiyang asked, puzzled, looking at Second Grandfather.

This answer completely caught him by surprise.

"You will understand in the future."

"But, while we cannot go, your elder cousin can go."

"Because, aside from our inner circle, no one yet knows that he has broken through to the Pseudo God realm."

"I believe that with your elder cousin's strength and intelligence, he will certainly be able to help you inside the Divine Sign."

Second Grandfather smiled.

"As you wish!"

Qin Feiyang sighed, not forcing the issue.

The second granduncle gave Qin Feiyang a deep look and smiled, "It's already late, go and rest!"

"Alright."

Qin Feiyang nodded and then walked towards the wooden building beside him.

But suddenly.

He stopped again, turned to look at the second granduncle, and asked, "What about my grandfather? Why didn't he appear to see me when I came back this time?"

"He..."

The second granduncle's hands, hidden within his sleeves, clenched tightly.

In the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of a chilling murderous intent.

But Qin Feiyang didn't notice any of this.

Because the second granduncle hid it well.

However.

Seeing the second granduncle remain silent for so long, Qin Feiyang felt a growing sense of unease, and asked, "Has something happened to grandfather?"

"No."

"Your grandfather is so powerful, how could anything happen to him?"

The second granduncle hurriedly replied.

Qin Feiyang said, "Then at least tell me, where is he now?"

"Your grandfather is in seclusion."

"Not just you, even I can't see him."

"But don't worry, once he's out, he will definitely see you immediately."

The second granduncle smiled.

"I hope so!"

Qin Feiyang sighed, entered the wooden building with a heart full of disappointment, and his thin back appeared particularly forlorn.

"Big brother..."

"Tell me, how should I tell Feiyang about these matters?"

"If Feiyang learns the truth, I think he'll definitely go mad..."

"I really don't know what to do anymore..."

"Can you give me some hints?"

The second granduncle sat alone in the night, watching Qin Feiyang enter the wooden building, then looked at the night sky, muttering to himself, his expression full of helplessness.

...

This night.

Destined to be a sleepless night.

Qin Feiyang lay on the bed, wanting to take the opportunity to get a good night's sleep, but no matter what he did, he couldn't fall asleep.

So before dawn, he got up, wandering aimlessly within the village.

Everything in the village was no different from an ordinary village. If someone unaware came here, they would definitely think it was a village where ordinary people lived.

Serene, yet simple.

After wandering the village alone, Qin Feiyang stood at the village entrance, unsure where to go next.

He felt very lost.

He scanned the mountains outside the village.

Finally.

He took steps, walking deeper into the mountains.

Along the way, he encountered many fierce beasts.

Of varying strengths.

But these beasts were very docile, merely watching him from afar.

Gradually.

The sky turned white.

The sun rose slowly at the horizon.

The beasts in the mountains also began to become active, but upon seeing Qin Feiyang, they silently stepped aside.

These beasts were raised by the Luk Family.

Although they hadn't seen Qin Feiyang before, when Qin Feiyang first entered the Luk Family, the second granduncle had already instructed them.

In the future, no matter who sees Qin Feiyang, they cannot harm him.

An hour passed.

Qin Feiyang crossed through a forest, and a vast plain came into view.

The plain spanned over a hundred Baili, without a single tree or even a blade of grass, but it was filled with medicinal herbs, vibrant and full of life.

"So many herbs?"

Standing at the forest's edge, Qin Feiyang scanned the herbs on the plain, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Too many.

Thick as a forest, like maidens swaying in the wind, bursting with dazzling light, the rich fragrance of herbs enveloping the entire plain.

Wait.

Having so many herbs together, they clearly don't grow naturally.

It must be the Luk Family's herbal field.

"I wonder if this herbal field can compare to the Mu Family's herbal field."

Qin Feiyang murmured, stepping into the herbal field.

As he walked, he recognized most of the herbs.

However.

He discovered many herbs were over ten thousand years old.

The deeper he went, the more precious the herbs he saw.

In the end, he even found rare herbs like White Jade Fruits and Purple Spirit Flowers.

"Over the millennia, the Luk Family's heritage shouldn't be underestimated either!"

Qin Feiyang murmured.

Suddenly.

He noticed a small black dot in the distance ahead.

Curious, he walked briskly towards the black dot.

Gradually.

He clearly saw what the black dot was.

It was a small wooden tower.

Very old and very simple, with only two floors in total.

And just on the second-floor terrace of the small wooden tower, Qin Feiyang saw an old man.

The old man had reached his octogenarian years, his body stooped, his beard and hair snow white.

He sat cross-legged on the terrace, eyes slightly closed, wearing an old hemp robe, but very clean, his aged face showing a few traces of kindness.

And the old man gave Qin Feiyang an exceedingly strong sense of familiarity.

Watching the old man, Qin Feiyang walked step by step to the front of the wooden tower, standing below the terrace, and the sense of familiarity grew even stronger.

However, the old man seemed not to notice Qin Feiyang's arrival, still keeping his eyes closed.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that the old man didn't acknowledge him, Qin Feiyang could no longer hold back, asking, "Are you, grandfather?"
