Chapter 1492 - 1425: Go Forth Without Restraint!

Luk Family.

No matter what happens outside, there's never a change here, peaceful and serene.

Though the Second Grandfather is powerful in cultivation, he's very kind, neither proud nor impatient.

The Old Master may be weaker in cultivation, but when facing the Second Grandfather, he remains composed.

Their personalities are quite similar.

Thus,

When the two elders meet, they feel like old friends and converse cheerfully.

Qin Feiyang accompanies them for a while, then quietly leaves.

"Feiyang, you're back!"

"Xiao Hei has already informed us about your actions in the imperial city."

"Slaying five great Marquises with dominance, forcing Emperor Hong and the State Preceptor to kneel—no doubt, you're impressive, kid."

Several elderly men in coarse clothing smiled as they saw Qin Feiyang.

"Not at all."

Qin Feiyang quickly waved his hands.

Despite their plain attire, these elders are actually super strong warriors at the peak of Nine-Star War Emperor realm.

"Don't be modest!"

"In this world, perhaps only you dare to slay Great Qin's Marquises in the Golden Throne Hall."

"Though a bit arrogant, we wholeheartedly agree."

"After this event, those remaining Marquises certainly won't dare conspire with the State Preceptor anymore."

The elders chuckled.

Qin Feiyang chuckled awkwardly and said doubtfully, "Who was that Xiao Hei you referred to earlier?"

An elder replied, "He's your Second Grandfather's disciple. As a junior, you should call him Uncle Black, not Xiao Hei."

"Second Grandfather's disciple!"

Qin Feiyang's heart trembled.

"Your Uncle Black runs a small inn in the first district of the imperial city, tasked with gathering city news."

"No matter what happens in the imperial city, we receive updates at the earliest opportunity."

"That inn is called Coming Phoenix Building. If you ever encounter trouble, you can seek Uncle Black's help there."

Several elders said.

"Coming Phoenix Building…"

Qin Feiyang silently memorized the name.

"Enough about this."

"Come visit my home, there are some aged wine barrels I've been reluctant to open, but today they're all yours, kid."

"You, old man, only know how to drink, did you forget drinking is harmful?"

"Child, child, Grandfather's home has wild mountain tea we brewed ourselves, it tastes splendid, come have a try."

Everyone remained as enthusiastic as ever.

Initially, Qin Feiyang planned to visit Luk Zheng, then enter the ancient castle to cultivate.

But then he thought,

Why force himself?

Instead, use these days to relax and adjust his state.

After all, he's about to enter the Divine Sign. Only by being in the best state can he handle any unknown variables.

Moreover, appropriate relaxation is beneficial for cultivation.

Thus,

Qin Feiyang abandoned cultivation.

In the morning, he followed the village men to farm and herd.

In the afternoon, he accompanied the village children in frolic.

At dusk, he drank tea and chatted with the village elders.

The whole day was lived thoroughly.

He intended to let himself go completely.

The next evening,

Luk Zheng appeared at the village entrance.

The stench around him had faded, but his anger remained.

Especially when he saw Qin Feiyang enjoying himself in the village, his frustration increased, and he challenged Qin Feiyang directly.

Qin Feiyang didn't mind; if they were to fight, so be it.

However, during the duel, Qin Feiyang suppressed his cultivation.

Even suppressing his cultivation, Luk Zheng ended up beaten black and blue.

The villagers didn't intervene; they treated it as a spectacle.

On the third day,

Qin Feiyang finally met Uncle Black.

A very forthright man with dark skin.

His cultivation, too, reached the peak of Nine-Star War Emperor realm.

But that night, after drinking, Uncle Black left the village. Qin Feiyang wanted to chat more but didn't have the chance.

...

Time flew swiftly.

The day for the Divine Sign's opening finally arrived.

At dawn,

The sun rose in the east, full of vitality.

Qin Feiyang opened the door and stood in the courtyard, stretching lazily under the morning sun.

He had slept exceptionally well every night of recent days.

It had been a long time since he felt this relaxed, with every part of his body entirely at ease.

Suddenly!

He caught the scent of food.

Diverting his gaze, he looked at the stone table nearby, where five or six tasty dishes and three bowls of millet porridge were neatly arranged.

"Awake!"

"Go wash up, time for breakfast."

The Old Master came out of the kitchen, carrying two plates of dishes, smiling at Qin Feiyang.

"Alright."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

The Old Master had also stayed in the village these days; though not strong in cultivation, due to Qin Feiyang's presence, the villagers respected him greatly.

Moreover, the Second Grandfather didn't treat him as an outsider.

Not only did he let the Old Master stay in his home, but he also took him around leisurely every day.

"Coming at the right time is better than coming early."

Just as Qin Feiyang and the others were about to dine, Luk Zheng eagerly ran over, sat opposite Qin Feiyang, and started devouring a bowl of millet porridge.

Second Grandfather scolded, "Kid, didn't you see Master Ren here? Show some manners!"

Luk Zheng quickly raised his head towards the Old Master, grinning, "Good morning, Grandfather Ren."

"Good, good, eat as much as you like."

The Old Master smiled.

"Of course, I love it."

Luk Zheng replied.

Qin Feiyang glanced at Luk Zheng, disdainfully saying, "You sure are brazen."

Luk Zheng raised an eyebrow, angrily saying, "Don't talk to me, I haven't forgiven you yet!"

"Who cares about your forgiveness?"

Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes.

Old Master and Second Grandfather exchanged looks and couldn't help but laugh.

Second Grandfather looked at Qin Feiyang, smiling, "Call out your cousin too, let's have breakfast together."

"Okay."

With a thought, Qin Feiyang made Luk Jiajin appear beside him.

"Second Grandfather."

"Grandfather Ren."

Luk Jiajin acted very respectfully and politely.

"Okay."

Second Grandfather nodded and asked, "How is your cultivation stability?"

"Forty days of retreat has stabilized it almost completely."

Luk Jiajin said.

"That's good."

"Sit down and have something to eat, think of it as us two old men seeing you off."

Second Grandfather smiled.

"Alright."

Luke Jiajin nodded and sat beside Qin Feiyang.

Old Master stood up and brought a bowl of millet porridge for Luk Jiajin.

"Thank you, Grandfather Ren."

Luk Jiajin accepted the porridge, thanked Old Master, and started eating slowly.

The meal passed quickly.

"Jin, Zheng, Feiyang."

Second Grandfather looked at the three, his expression becoming extremely serious.

Qin Feiyang and the others put down their chopsticks and looked suspiciously at Second Grandfather.

Second Grandfather said, "What I want to say to you is simply this: make sure you come back alive."

The three nodded heavily.

Second Grandfather glanced at the three, then looked at Old Master.

Old Master paused for a moment and then smiled at Qin Feiyang and the others, "To be honest, with your cultivation, I'm not really qualified to lecture you."

Luk Jiajin smiled, "Grandfather Ren is Feiyang's elder, so he's also an elder to Luk Zheng and me, feel free to speak."

"Okay."

"Then I'll indulge myself to say a few words."

"In terms of strength and intelligence, you all are outstanding among the younger generation, unmatched even."

"But this time entering the Divine Sign, not only are there youngsters like you, but also elders."

"Such as the State Preceptor, Mu Changyun, and others."

"These people are existences you can't rival at this moment."

"So after entering the Divine Sign, whatever happens, think thrice before you act, and avoid bravado at all costs."

"The most important thing is that you must be united."

"As a common saying goes, 'brothers united can cut through gold.'

"And like your Second Grandfather, I hope you all return alive."

Old Master said.

"Thank you for your guidance, Grandfather Ren."

Luk Jiajin showed utmost respect without looking down on Old Master due to the cultivation gap.

Second Grandfather waved his hand and said, "Birds must fly when they grow up. Soon, this world will be your stage, go out and adventure boldly!"

Qin Feiyang and the others looked at each other and stood up.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Feiyang made Elder Qin appear.

Elder Qin looked at Old Master and Second Grandfather, greeting them with a smile, "Good to see both of you well."

Both returned the greeting with smiles.

Immediately afterwards.

The General Tower emerged from Qin Feiyang's brow, flying in front of Old Master, "All within the tower is entrusted to you."

"Okay."

Old Master nodded.

"Farewell Second Grandfather, farewell Grandfather Ren."

The three bowed deeply in salute and then opened a portal.

Luk Jiajin also took out a mask from the Qiankun Bag and put it on again.

Luk Zheng was sent to the ancient castle by Qin Feiyang.

Whoosh!

Then.

Qin Feiyang and Luk Jiajin transformed into streams of light, entering the portal one after another.

Elder Qin looked at Second Grandfather and Old Master, saying, "I do not know whether this journey will lead to life or death, but should we return alive, I will surely come to share drinks with both of you."

"I would be delighted."

Second Grandfather and Old Master smiled.

Furthermore."

Elder Qin turned to Second Grandfather, pleading, "Should Great Qin face any upheavals during this period, I hope Old Master Luk will lend a hand."

"I will."

Second Grandfather nodded.

"Thank you very much then."

Elder Qin thanked them with a bow, then turned and stepped into the portal.

"Divine Sign!"

"So many people's dreams, yet so many people's graves, is it truly worth it?"

Second Grandfather sighed.

"Whether it's worth or not, only those who enter will know, we aren't qualified to comment further."

Old Master smiled.

"Indeed!"

Second Grandfather nodded.

...

Upon Qin Feiyang and the others descending into the sky above the plaza of the first district, a vast crowd had already gathered.

Everyone looked at the portal, faces full of longing.

"Qin Feiyang!"

"Elder Qin!"

"And that masked man!"

"They really did come!"

"But this time, with so many powerful beings entering the Divine Sign, there are even Pseudo Gods. Whether Qin Feiyang can return alive is questionable."

Seeing the arrival of Qin Feiyang and the others, people began whispering.

Qin Feiyang and the others ignored them, soaring straight up to enter the portal.

Above the Imperial City and General Tower of the Central Divine Nation, there was also a huge crowd, bustling and noisy.

But as soon as Qin Feiyang arrived, the Imperial City and General Tower fell silent, every eye filled with undeniable fear.
