"How is it? I have already retrieved the Spear of Punishment. Are you going to tell me about the origins of the Xing Family?" Xing Chen said calmly.
"Since you have indeed retrieved the Spear of Punishment, then I can naturally tell you about this matter," Punishing Thunder Emperor nodded and continued, "The Xing Family was indeed established by Punishment, but the people of the Xing Family are not descendants of Punishment."
"What?" Xing Chen's expression changed immediately. He had always thought that since Punishment established the Xing Family, then the people of the Xing Family must be its descendants. He never expected to hear such a result—that the people of the Xing Family were not descendants of Punishment.
"That's right, we, the people of the Xing Family, are not descendants of Punishment. Although outsiders have always believed that we are descendants of Punishment, that is not actually the case," Punishing Thunder Emperor sighed.
"So what exactly happened?" Xing Chen quickly asked.
"Initially, Punishment suddenly approached us to establish a family. Because we also share the surname Xing, we were chosen by Punishment. Later, after Punishment established the Xing Family, we gradually revealed ourselves within a century. Outsiders, not understanding the situation, have always thought that we were indeed descendants of Punishment."
"Later, because of its backward actions, Punishment was besieged by countless powerful beings from the human realm. That battle gathered nearly all peak combatants of humanity—over twenty monarchs and nearly a hundred Emperor of Thunder Punishment simultaneously attacking Punishment."
"Although Punishment's strength was infinitely close to that of a True God, namely Mastering Fate, he ultimately fell short by half a step. After that battle, he was severely injured and soon after declared a retreat for seclusion, never to emerge again."
"We all believed he had died, but now it seems that is not the case. You must be the reincarnation of Punishment, right?" Punishing Thunder Emperor looked at Xing Chen slowly.
"Reincarnation? Please! Punishment has long since been dead; how could he possibly be confused with me?" Xing Chen replied with a cold gaze.
"If you are truly not the reincarnation of Punishment, then why were you able to wield the Spear of Punishment? How do you explain that?" Punishing Thunder Emperor asked slowly.
"I don't need to explain anything to you. I am simply myself, not anyone else," Xing Chen tightened his grip on the Spear of Punishment, causing the Electric Silver Serpent on it to flicker continuously, emanating an overwhelming aura.
With the Spear of Punishment, Xing Chen was equivalent to wielding a divine weapon on par with an Azure Dragon Divine Weapon. Even against an ordinary monarch, he would likely not lose.
"Alright, we can skip discussing matters regarding Punishment. Didn't you come here to search for your origins? Feel free to look around and see if there are any traces of your parents or anyone related to you by blood," said Punishing Thunder Emperor.
"No need. When I first entered here, I realized that there is almost no connection between this place and my origins. The reason I felt a sense of familiarity with you is due to the presence of the Spear of Punishment. Now that I have retrieved it, I think it's time for me to leave. After all, there is no one here that I am looking for," said Xing Chen, slightly furrowing his brow. He could now confirm that he had no relation to this Xing Family. The true connection lay with Punishment, not with the Xing Family.
However, Punishment has long been dead for many years, and even if one wanted to ask him something, it would be impossible. Although Punishment's Soul Power appeared last time, I didn't manage to extract anything useful from it.
"Then I won't see you off any further. Also, thank you for helping us, Xing Family. Originally, the Spear of Punishment wouldn't have been so easily given to you, but since you helped the Xing Family, it's only right that you take it," said the Punishing Thunder Emperor slowly.
"Thank you!" Xing Chen nodded, then put away the Spear of Punishment and left with Meng Xiner.
Although I didn't uncover the mystery of my origins this time, obtaining the Spear of Punishment is definitely a significant gain. With the Spear of Punishment in hand, at least I don't have to worry about safety anymore. Even in the Central Domain, there are very few who could surpass me with the Spear of Punishment.
"Xueqing Senior Sister, I'll accompany you back to the ocean first and then seek out the Divine Wind Emperor's Inheritance. Once you receive the Inheritance, we can return to the Eastern Region," said Xing Chen slowly.
"Okay!" A hint of joy appeared on Xueqing's pretty face as she replied, "Remember to call Meng Xin'er when we return to the Eastern Region! His Ice Snow Sovereign Inheritance is also in the ocean!"
"I won't forget. By the time we return from the ocean, both of your strengths will definitely soar," said Xing Chen with a smile.
"Even if we soar, we won't surpass you!" Xueqing rolled her eyes at Xing Chen.
"My strength is just average; I'm not yet at the Monarch level. Surviving in the future chaotic world will be quite difficult! Even the Hate Emperor had to enter seclusion for this reason, so I naturally can't afford to be negligent," sighed Xing Chen, recalling his days in the ocean with the help of the Hate Emperor. Without his assistance, he would have died countless times by now.
Looking back, it was truly a stroke of luck to have met the Hate Emperor. It has already been over a year since he last saw him; he wondered if the Hate Emperor had broken through to Monarch level.
"Xing Chen, now that the Bian'an Demon Lord has gone to the ocean, is your ocean already in chaos?" asked Xueqing, a hint of worry in her eyes as she looked at him. After all, her family was in the ocean, and she had to be concerned.
"That is indeed possible. After all, the strength of the Bian'an Demon Lord cannot be underestimated. Currently, only the Hate Emperor could possibly withstand him in the entire ocean. However, since he is in seclusion, I don't know if he has come out yet," replied Xing Chen, frowning. "But don't worry; if we encounter the Bian'an Demon Lord when we return to the ocean, I will definitely help you deal with him."
"Yes!" Xueqing nodded repeatedly. With Xing Chen, who possesses the Spear of Punishment, her strength would definitely increase tenfold or more. At that time, killing the Bian'an Demon Lord wouldn't be impossible.
Soon after, they returned to the Eastern Region. However, outside the Eastern Region, many people were guarding it. The weakest among them were all Divine Lords, while the strongest reached peak level of the Emperor of Thunder Punishment. They were members of the Dao Sect.
Since Xing Chen killed the Eternal Emperor, the Dao Sect has paid even more attention to the Eastern Region. Thus, they sent another peak-level strongman from their ranks to guard here. Of course, it would be even better if they could find out who that strong person from the Eastern Region was.
"Which faction do you belong to?" Just as Xing Chen and the others approached the Azure Dragon Formation in the Eastern Region, a figure from the Emperor of Thunder Punishment suddenly spoke up.
"The Xing Family," Xing Chen replied without blinking.
"The Xing Family? When did they produce a Half-Step Emperor? I've never heard of this before. What is your name?"
"Xing Chen!"
"Xing Chen? Do you know this person? Although I'm not very familiar with the Xing Family, I know their top experts very well. Why have I never heard of this name before?"
"Yeah, I haven't heard of him either. Since he's a Half-Step Emperor, he shouldn't be so unknown!"
"Xing Chen? Isn't that the strong individual who suddenly appeared in the Eastern Region? Could you be that person?"
"Do you think that's possible? I came here specifically because I heard there was a strong person with the same name as mine, so I wanted to take a look." Although Xing Chen felt somewhat impatient, he remained calm.
If it weren't for not wanting to create unnecessary trouble, Xing Chen would have already made his move and killed his way back to the Eastern Region instead of wasting time talking to them.
"What kind of attitude is this? We, the Emperor of Thunder Punishment, are asking you questions. You should feel honored to answer us. What do you mean by this?"
"That's right. You're just a Half-Step Emperor; do you really want to fight us?"
"That can't be said like that. Although he is a Half-Step Emperor, he is still an Emperor of Thunder Punishment. This time, let's give him some face and not hold it against him. However, while he can avoid death, he cannot escape punishment. You, go into the formation and investigate its true nature, then come out and tell us."
Several figures from the Emperor of Thunder Punishment spoke loudly.
"Do you really want me to go in?" Xing Chen was slightly taken aback; he had been prepared to fight and didn't expect them to let him enter.
"Stop talking nonsense and get in there!"
"Go in and check the reality, then come out and report to us."
"If you dare not go in, I'll kill you right now!"
Xing Chen and Xueqing exchanged a glance, both seeing the amusement in each other's eyes. They had never expected things to go so smoothly. Originally, when they saw so many people here, Xueqing had already thought about how to persuade Xing Chen not to take action. Unexpectedly, there was no need for any action; these fools just let them in.
"Then I'm really going in." Xing Chen slowly walked forward, with Xueqing quickly following behind him. Soon, the two arrived in front of the Azure Light Barrier. Xing Chen turned back to look at the people guarding outside and asked, "Are you really letting me in?"
"Stop fucking around and hurry up and get in! If you keep dragging your feet, I'll kill you!"
"You should be grateful to have a beautiful woman accompanying you. Hurry up and get inside, or I’ll have to take action myself, and you won't like it."
"Exactly, hurry up! If you don't go in soon, I'll kick you in myself."
The people around urged him on, each one eager for Xing Chen to enter as if they would kill him if he didn't.
"Since you all are so sincerely asking me, I’ll reluctantly agree to your request. It would be too heartless not to." With that, Xing Chen stepped directly into the light barrier.
