"I will keep the matter of the Void Cauldron a secret for you." After a long pause, Wang Cheng said in a deep voice, "I hope you can comprehend its mysteries before the arrival of the demon race and protect our human race."
"I have already comprehended it," Wang Yi replied softly.
"What?" Wang Cheng nodded naturally upon hearing this, then suddenly realized, "You have comprehended it?"
"It is the inheritance of the Void Emperor," Wang Yi said.
"No wonder, no wonder you were able to defeat both Wang Yun and Ji Qiankun with your cultivation at the Initial Stage of Insight. In that case, when you return to the Wang Family, I believe those old fellows will have no objections," Wang Cheng nodded.
After a pause, a glint flashed in Wang Cheng's eyes as he said, "Once you return to the Wang Family, I think those old fellows will definitely make things difficult for you. At that time, you need not be polite; just don't injure them."
"I understand." Wang Yi looked at Wang Cheng in surprise. He felt very unfamiliar with this father figure, and there was hardly any affection between them. If it weren't for the shared blood running through their veins, they likely would not have any connection at all. Moreover, Wang Yi's return to the Wang Family was not to become the Young Master but simply to awaken his Bloodline.
After a cup of tea's time had passed, the two stopped in an empty space.
"We've arrived." Wang Cheng took out a Wooden Plaque from his Storage Ring, threw it out, and with a whoosh, it disappeared into the void.
"Rumbling!" Immediately afterward, a rumbling sound was heard as a jade door appeared in the void and creaked open.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Wang Yi followed Wang Cheng into the Wang Family.
In the next moment, they found themselves on a stone platform. Before them lay pavilions and towers, flowing water and rockeries entwined with vines—a truly picturesque scene.
"Greetings, family head!" two men in black on the stone platform bowed respectfully.
"You're excused," Wang Cheng waved his hand and said to Wang Yi, "Follow me."
Wang Cheng walked down the stone steps, followed by Wang Yi. They crossed a stone path and arrived at a square where dozens of children, around ten years old, were practicing martial arts under the guidance of a warrior.
Wang Yi nodded without speaking, glancing around. Overall, the space developed by the Wang Family was similar to that of the Ji Family, only slightly larger. This also indicated that the Wang Family was more prosperous than the Ji Family.
From time to time, Wang Yi and Wang Cheng arrived at a grand hall, solemn and dignified, exuding a heavy atmosphere.
"Greetings, family head," the guard soldier bowed.
"You two go immediately to notify the elders," Wang Cheng waved his hand.
"Yes!" The two soldiers responded and left the hall.
"This is where my Wang Family makes decisions. I will announce your identity here before you enter the Bloodline Awakening Grounds," Wang Cheng said.
"Okay," Wang Yi nodded.
After standing in the hall for a while, more than ten White-Clad Individuals entered one after another. Upon seeing Wang Yi suddenly appear, they all showed expressions of surprise, except for an elderly man with white hair and beard who smiled and nodded after looking at Wang Yi, saying, "Very good." He then walked to a seat at the upper left side of the hall.
"Is everyone here?" Wang Cheng walked leisurely to the main seat and sat down. He glanced around at everyone and said, "The purpose of gathering you all here is to let you know that my son, Wang Yi, has returned." He pointed at Wang Yi and said, "Wang Yi, greet the elders."
"Wang Yi greets all the elders," Wang Yi stepped forward and cupped his hands in respect.
"Family head, is this really your son who has been lost for many years?" A middle-aged man of medium build stood up and looked directly at Wang Yi with a puzzled expression.
"Wang Yi, if I am not mistaken, the jade pendant I left with you should still be on you. The Qilin Mark on your chest should still be there as well?" Wang Cheng did not explain further but addressed Wang Yi.
"Is this it?" After a moment of contemplation, Wang Yi took out a Qilin Jade Pendant from his Storage Ring. One side was carved with a Fire Qilin, while the other side was inscribed with the words "Wang Yi."
"This is the proof I left on Yi Er. I believe there is no longer any doubt among you all," Wang Cheng said with a smile, holding up the Qilin Jade Pendant.
"Alright, there should be no doubts about Wang Yi's identity. I can testify that Wang Yi is indeed the child lost by the family head," said the White-Bearded Elder, nodding at Wang Yi.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
The man of medium build had no choice but to sit down.
"Alright, you may leave now," Wang Cheng waved his hand.
"Yes!" With that, everyone departed, leaving only three elders behind.
"Yi Er, this is the Grand Elder Wang Songfan, Second Elder Wang Shibo, and Elder Three Wang Jinhong. They are your great-grandfather, second grandfather, and third grandfather," Wang Cheng introduced to Wang Yi.
"Wang Yi greets the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Elder Three," Wang Yi bowed respectfully.
"No need for formalities," Second Elder Wang Shibo smiled and nodded. "We three old men already know about your situation. You have done well. Now that you have come to the Wang Family, your second grandfather hopes you can uphold the reputation of our Wang Family."
"Yes!" replied Wang Yi.
"Uncle, I will trouble you to awaken Yi Er's Bloodline," said Wang Cheng.
"Follow me," Wang Songfan nodded.
Then, Wang Yi followed Wang Songfan out of the main hall.
"Wang Cheng, what will you do next? Will you establish Wang Yi as the family head?" asked Wang Jinhong.
"Mm." Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Yi Er definitely has this strength, and he is only twenty years old. Both his talent and potential surpass Hang's."
"Old Seven and the others probably won't agree," Wang Shibo said solemnly. "Moreover, in the eyes of everyone in the Wang Family, Hang is the true Young Master of the Wang Family. Now that Wang Yi has returned, although his cultivation is on par with Hang's, gaining their recognition won't be easy."
"Your second uncle is right; you need to consider this matter carefully," Wang Jinhong nodded.
Hearing this, Wang Cheng laughed heartily, leaving both Wang Shibo and Wang Jinhong puzzled.
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Yi Er is a powerful figure who isn't afraid of even the Ji Family's chief Alchemist, Wang Yun, or the Grand Elder Ji Qiankun. Do you think he would be afraid of Seventh Uncle and the others?" Wang Cheng said with a smile.
"Ah!" Upon hearing this, both Wang Shibo and Wang Jinhong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, exchanging glances that reflected their astonishment.
"Wang Cheng, is this true?" Wang Shibo asked incredulously.
"Mm." Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Yi Er was once kidnapped by Ji Ziyue from the Ji Family for her Alchemy. However, due to certain events that enraged Yi Er, he caused chaos in the Ji Family. In the end, even the Grand Elder Ji Qiankun personally intervened but was unable to defeat Yi Er."
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing this, both Wang Shibo and Wang Jinhong gasped in shock and fell silent for a long time.
"By the way, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Yi Er also obtained the legendary Void Cauldron," Wang Cheng said casually.
"Ah!"
At that moment, both Wang Shibo and Wang Jinhong were even more astonished. They knew that the Void Cauldron was a treasure coveted by all martial artists in the Yuan Continent. The fact that it had fallen into Wang Yi's hands was truly unbelievable; however, for the Wang Family, it was indeed good news.
"This is wonderful! If he can comprehend the Void Cauldron, given time, it wouldn't be impossible for him to become the number one person in the Yuan Continent," Wang Shibo said as he calmed his shock and spoke seriously.
"Not bad, it seems that the gods want to elevate the Wang Family!" Wang Jinhong exclaimed excitedly.
"Yi Er has already comprehended the Void Cauldron and cultivated the divine skills of the Ancient First Emperor and Void Emperor," Wang Cheng said with a smile.
"What?"
In this brief moment, both Wang Shibo and Wang Jinhong were overwhelmed by the shock brought by Wang Yi. It was simply beyond measure.
On a Stone Path, there were two individuals. One was dressed in white, with hair and beard completely white, and a rosy complexion, looking quite healthy. The other stood nine feet tall, with hair like a waterfall, eyebrows like swords, and eyes like stars. These two were Wang Songfan and Wang Yi.
"You have managed to cultivate to the Initial Stage of Insight without unlocking your Bloodline. Such talent can be considered the best in our Wang Family in ten thousand years," Wang Songfan stroked his White Beard and said with a smile. It was clear that he held Wang Yi in high regard.
"Great Elder is too kind," Wang Yi replied.
"Back then, your father and mother, along with you who were only six months old, passed through Eastern Lin and were ambushed. They had no choice but to leave you behind," Wang Songfan said solemnly. "In that battle, your mother died at their hands. If your father hadn't relied on the family's heirloom, he probably wouldn't have survived either. So I hope you can forgive him."
"Who killed her?" Wang Yi asked.
"Although I have cultivated the Fate Revelation Technique, which allows me to know the future and present, I have never been able to uncover the identity of your mother's killer," Wang Songfan said with a look of regret.
"There are not many who have the strength to act against the Wang Family in Zhongzhou," Wang Yi said with a slight cold smile.
"In fact, I have always suspected that those who killed your mother and ambushed you are from the same group," Wang Songfan stated.
"Do you have any clues?" Wang Yi inquired.
"Aside from the other Five Great Families, those who dare to offend our Wang Family in Zhongzhou are only Dan Valley and Hunting Temple," Wang Songfan pondered for a moment before continuing. "Both of these forces keep a low profile; Dan Valley has always acted discreetly, being composed of dedicated Alchemists, while the latter is very mysterious." At the mention of mystery, a heavy expression appeared on Wang Songfan's face.
"Mysterious?" Wang Yi frowned.
"With the strength of my Wang Family, we still haven't been able to investigate what exactly the Hunting Temple is. They always act low-key and rarely show themselves in public. They are extremely mysterious martial artists, and all we know is that their strength is very formidable, not at all weaker than our Six Great True Spirit Families, and perhaps even stronger," Wang Songfan said solemnly. "I once had a brief encounter with a deputy Hall Master who claimed to be from the Hunting Temple. He mentioned that the Hunting Temple exists to hunt gods."
"Hunt gods?" Wang Yi exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right. Because everyone from the Hunting Temple does not believe in gods. They think that the gods have abandoned the Yuan Continent, so they want to exterminate the gods," Wang Songfan said something that shocked even himself.
Exterminate gods! This is something that no martial artist would dare to imagine, because, in the eyes of martial artists, gods are invincible beings.
Exterminating gods? It is akin to seeking death.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi fell silent, but his mind was speculating about what kind of force the Hunting Temple truly was.
Although he had dealt with the Hunting Temple once, he was becoming increasingly puzzled by them. Ling Yao had disappeared from the Song Kingdom after she destroyed the Canglan Sect. If he wasn't mistaken, she should have become part of the Hunting Temple.
"Wang Yi, I actually suspect whether the gods have already abandoned the Yuan Continent," Wang Songfan said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Wang Yi knew that Wang Songfan had more to say.
