"Top figures...?" Ye Tian murmured softly, a look of yearning evident in his eyes.
"That's right, gathering the mighty from the Spirit Martial Dark Three Sects, standing at the pinnacle of the world!" Xuanyuan Changfeng said as he stepped out of the house, with Ye Tian closely following behind.
The two of them arrived at the edge of a cliff, where the sound of a roaring waterfall filled their ears. In the distance lay rolling mountains and the azure surface of a lake, while birds occasionally flew through the clouds, soaring in the sky.
However, all of this was beneath the cliff, which was the peak of Rolling Cloud Peak, towering into the clouds and piercing the sky. The position where they stood could truly be described as reaching for the heavens.
"What do you see?" Xuanyuan Changfeng asked after a long gaze.
"Looking down..." Ye Tian's voice was low but firm, with a hint of dominance subtly revealed.
Xuanyuan Changfeng felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing this. Normally, a person should see mountains, water, birds, and lakes—scenery. But Ye Tian saw his own state of mind; he saw himself as someone who would stand atop the highest peak and look down upon all other mountains.
"I was right about you!" Xuanyuan Changfeng patted Ye Tian's shoulder, his eyes filled with fervor.
Ye Tian also withdrew his gaze from afar and looked at the elder before him, saying, "Master, you want me to..."
"That's right, I want you to inherit my ambition..." Xuanyuan Changfeng's voice trembled slightly; it seemed that his long-silent heart was stirred once again. His eyes burned even brighter as he spoke: "My ambition is to unify the world!"
"Unify the world?!" Ye Tian was suddenly taken aback. Although he too had lofty aspirations, he never imagined that Xuanyuan Changfeng harbored such grand ambitions.
Ye Tian stared blankly at the elder before him, even able to imagine the turmoil in his heart. Unifying the world—what a monumental task that would be.
"My child, one should strive to be a hero in life and a formidable spirit in death! While living in this world, especially as a passionate young man, what you must do is great things!" Xuanyuan Changfeng spoke passionately, seemingly transported back to his own youthful days filled with fervor.
"Great things..." Ye Tian repeated softly, as visions of a vast world unfolded before him.
"That's right, a big deal!" Xuanyuan Changfeng declared emphatically.
"A big deal?" Ye Tian repeated, his mind slightly stirred.
"A big deal!" Xuanyuan Changfeng's voice suddenly rose, piercing through the clouds and resonating throughout Cloud Rolling Mountain.
Ye Tian was infected by Xuanyuan Changfeng's fervor and similarly let out a long howl towards the sky, his clear voice echoing far and wide, flowing endlessly through the mountains and valleys.
...
As night fell, Ye Tian lay quietly on the bed in his residence, playing with a pale white jade pendant in his hand. The pendant was pure in quality, resembling mutton fat; it was evident at first glance that it was no ordinary item.
Beside the bed was a round wooden table, on which lay a package. The ties of the package had been opened, revealing several items inside.
Three small green-covered books, two sets of clothing from the pavilion, a Contribution Stick, and finally, a small brocade box.
Ye Tian did not touch the other items, as all his attention was drawn to the small brocade box. However, this box was not one of the items from the package; it had just been delivered by someone.
At this moment, the lid of the brocade box was also open because Ye Tian had already taken out its contents.
Inside was a cloud-shaped jade pendant, intricately carved with a beautiful design depicting Clouds Rolling and Unrolling, exuding a faintly elegant and serene aura.
"Cloud Token..." Ye Tian murmured softly. He understood very well the significance of this item. Xuanyuan Changfeng passing him the Cloud Token was both an immense honor and a tremendous pressure.
Looking at the Cloud Token in his hand, Ye Tian couldn't help but recall what had happened during the day.
During the day, Xuanyuan Changfeng had been emotionally stirred and shared his hidden ambitions with Ye Tian. From his description, Ye Tian learned about various events that Xuanyuan Changfeng had experienced in the past.
Cloud Sea Sect Cloud Pavilion Master is a significant presence in the Square Area. Within this realm, he is seen as a figure of immense prestige, standing above all others, and it would not be an exaggeration to say he could cover the sky with one hand.
However, no one has ever considered the pain behind all this glory. Xuanyuan Changfeng's father was a Martial Sovereign, while his mother came from the Blood Sect. They met by chance and fell in love after overcoming numerous difficulties, eventually settling in a small town governed by the Martial Sovereign. His father was a person of great intellect and determination; although his strength was not particularly high, he quickly established himself in the local area, and the name Xuanyuan Patriarch became widely known.
The rapid rise of Xuanyuan Patriarch was not solely due to cunning and boldness; strength was also crucial. He was at the level of Martial Sovereign, only slightly below that of Martial Mastery. While this was not considered low at the time, it was likely insufficient to support a significant presence.
Thus, he undertook an action that was criticized and suppressed by those of the Martial Sovereign level: he learned the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique.
With the support of the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique, Xuanyuan Patriarch became unstoppable in the local area, swiftly sweeping through various factions and solidifying the position of the Xuanyuan family.
If things had continued on this path, it would indeed have been a remarkable story. However, as the saying goes, "The Tall Tree Stands Out in the Forest," and stability lasted only three years before a catastrophic disaster struck.
Every situation has its pros and cons. While Xuanyuan Patriarch established his foundation thanks to the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique, he also attracted calamity due to the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Classic.
That year, when Xuanyuan Changfeng was three years old, he witnessed firsthand how those Martial Sovereign figures regarded the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique as Evil Scriptures. Tragically, he also saw his entire family slaughtered.
The attackers arrived that night with a stated purpose: to eliminate threats to the Martial Sovereign, ensuring that no remnants of the Blood Sect could be spared within their territory.
Yet beneath this facade, Xuanyuan Changfeng understood that they were merely after the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique.
As long as they had ulterior motives, resolving this matter would not be difficult. Xuanyuan Patriarch was a wise man who could weigh pros and cons. The Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique was not an unspoken secret; nearly everyone from the Blood Sect knew it. The effectiveness depended on one's comprehension.
Thus, this matter was resolved quite easily. Only three individuals came; two were at the level of Martial Unity Definition, while one appeared to be their leader with unfathomable strength.
After acquiring the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique, an astonishing scene unfolded before Xuanyuan Patriarch: without hesitation, the leader swiftly killed his two companions and then unleashed a massacre, leaving no one from the entire Xuanyuan Family alive.
Before his death, the Xuanyuan Patriarch received answers from the mouth of the leader regarding the tragedy of the Massacre, which left him unable to walk due to the Whispers...
However, that person still had a shred of humanity. Under the desperate pleas of the Xuanyuan Family, Xuanyuan Changfeng's life was spared. The main reason he could agree was likely because Xuanyuan Changfeng was too young to remember the incident.
Yet, Xuanyuan Changfeng was not an ordinary child; he clearly remembered what happened that day, down to every detail. But what good was that? Xuanyuan Changfeng had no ability for revenge and could not even survive alone after leaving that person.
So he followed that person to a place.
This place seemed to have a name, with towering peaks reaching into the sky. Many people were there, and they referred to it as the Summit of the Cloud Marks...
Cloud Sea Sect.
In the following days, Xuanyuan Changfeng smoothly became that person's disciple. He was exceptionally talented and worked hard, quickly surpassing many of his peers who had entered before him. As time passed, he even earned the esteemed position of a direct disciple, with his strength growing rapidly like a snowball.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, over twenty years passed. When Xuanyuan Changfeng finally had the strength for revenge, he did not expect that his sworn enemy from the Blood Sea would pass away.
Upon hearing this news, Xuanyuan Changfeng fell into deep turmoil. The day he had long awaited after years of arduous training ended in such a dramatic fashion. He even considered going on a killing spree at Cloudscroll Pavilion to vent his hatred, but when he saw those familiar faces who had accompanied him for decades, he ultimately could not bring himself to do it.
In the days that followed, Xuanyuan Changfeng gradually untangled his heart's knots. The Cloud Sea Sect had not wronged him; in fact, they had shown him kindness. If he were to blame anyone, it could only be the distortion of this era and the complex relationships between the three sects. If the world were unified, how could there be acts of slaughter disguised as a pursuit of skill?
From that moment on, he vowed to restore normalcy to this distorted world and to correct things that had been misunderstood. The only way to achieve this was—unification of the world!
Ambitious aspirations are common among many young people, but as time passes, they often fade away into obscurity.
Xuanyuan Changfeng's ambitions had not been completely extinguished but were beginning to blur...
Until the appearance of this young man.
The blood in his heart was reignited, a boy possessing the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood...
"Ha..."
Ye Tian let out a light breath, pulling back his thoughts. The Cloud Token quietly rested in his palm, and Xuanyuan Changfeng's experiences inevitably reminded him of himself.
Heavenly Fire Heart Furnace, Spiritual Treasure Compendium, Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique, and the Jujutsu recorded in the Spiritual Treasure Compendium as part of the Five Element Profound Body...
Spirit Sect, Martial Sovereign, Dark Sect—the powers of these three sects all belonged to this one person. Yet, he had vanished without a trace, unable to even care for his wife and child. What was the purpose of his life?
Could it be what Xuanyuan Changfeng spoke of—unifying the world?
It was very possible.
However, the final outcome was evident because the Martial Sovereign remained the Martial Sovereign, and the Blood Sect's Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique was still referred to as Evil Scriptures. This indicated that he had failed...
Ye Tian opened the window, a cool night breeze swept into the room, the starry sky was clear, and the moonlight shone brilliantly.
"Father..." Ye Tian whispered softly. Was all of this merely coincidence? Or was it destined by heaven for Ye Tian to walk the path that his father could not complete?
