Feng Yun walked toward the little girl who was around over one year old. The little girl was so adorable and cute.
Yan Zilan was also walking beside Feng Yun. As soon as they came close, the little girl exclaimed and ran to her mother, “Mama!” Yan Zilan took the girl in her arms.
“Mother, who is this?” The little girl looked at Feng Yun who was looking at her intensely and asked curiously.
“Ren’er, it’s your father?”
“Father…” The girl was confused for a moment. She heard about him from her mother a lot but had never seen him or met him before until today.
“Hmm!” The little girl looked at the man who was extending his arms toward her to hold and nodded slowly.
Yan Zilan then carefully handed the little girl in her arms to Feng Yun, who held the girl with slightly gentle hands.
Feng Yun looked at the girl in his arms, and the little girl silently stared at him in return, feeling some sort of connection with each other.
“What is your name, my little princess.” Feng Yun asked her gently.
“Feng Xieren.”
“Feng Xieren huh? I like it,” Feng Yun nodded. Feng Yun played with Feng Xieren while Yan Qiu announced the end of the competition a second time. The crowd started to disperse rapidly under the guidance of disciples and deacons. While elders escorted the guest out.
“Yes! Zilan, come. I want you to meet someone.” Feng Yun said as he gestured for Tang Yue to come close.
“Zilan, this is Tang Yue and my son Tang Xianling.” Feng Yun said slowly introducing them to each other. “Yue’er, This is Yan Zilan and my daughter.
Yan Zilan and Tang Yue greet each other with a smile.
“Ling’er, this is your sister, say hi!” Feng Yun said to the little guy.
“Hi, little sister!” Tang Xianling greeted her with enthusiasm while waving his hand, happy to meet his sister.
Feng Yun smacked his head lightly and said, “Fool, she is older than you. Call her big sister.”
“Huh, but how? She is obviously shorter than me.” The little guy rubbed his head pitifully and complained. Seeing his expression, the little girl let out a short laugh.
Although XianLing was younger than her, his body grew up faster than hers. Everyone would assume he was the elder sibling.
…
Fifteen minutes later!
Feng Yun and others gathered in a hall, chatting happily and recounting some old memories. While two small children were playing on the side. The personality of the little girl was the opposite of the little guy. She was less talkative, pure, and obedient while the little guy was mischievous and naughty.
“Feng Yun, when did you arrive at the sect?” Yan Qiu curiously asked.
“Just before the competition started. I wanted to surprise you guys that is why I didn’t announce my arrival.” Feng Yun replied.
“Fortunately, you arrived on time. Otherwise…” Yan Qiu said with some lingering fear in her eyes. If Feng Yun wasn’t here, the damage would have been immense.
“Why the way. Feng Yun, you must be wondering how did everyone become strong in one year.” Yan Qiu looked at Feng Yun said.
“Yes!” Feng Yun nodded. He was really curious. Yan Qiu, and Yan Zilan both have reached Heaven Profound Realm while many elders in the sect reached Late-stage Sky Profound Realm. They could reach Heaven Profound Realm soon.
“Let’s go, i will show you something cool!” Yan Qiu said smilingly. After that, she led the group into the back mountains of the sect. Soon they arrived in front of a big cave. Feng Yun was surprised to find that there were a few elders guarding this cave with a serious expressions as if they were guarding a treasure.
“Sect Master!” The Elders greeted Yan Qiu with respect as they entered in the cave.
“Elder Feng, you have returned timely.” The elders said gratefully. Feng Yun smiled and said nothing as his attention was attracted by the profound aura that was coming from inside.
Feng Yun stepped forward and walked into the depth of the cave others followed. The cave was spacious from the inside. Inside the cave, there was a flat platform that had been built that looked like it had existed for a long time. There were thousands of formation spirit patterns engraved on the surface. The patterns and platform looked ancient obviously they were laid many years ago.
Feng Yun studied the patterns and found that it was an ancient teleportation formation.
“It’s teleportation formation. Where does it lead so?” Feng Yun said slowly stunning all the elders in the cave.
‘He recognized it with one glance.’ The elders exclaimed inwardly in awe. On the other hand, they research it for a month.
Yan Qiu gestured to the elders to start the formation as she led the group into the formation. The spirit patterns started shining as the formation activated. A blinding light appeared in everyone’s view making them blind for a moment.
When they opened them again, they found the scenery around them had changed. Green planes, small mountains and green forest, sunny weather. This place was beautiful.
While underneath their feet, there was a platform similar to the one in a cave.
“Hmm, the spiritual energy here is too thick, around three to four times.” Feng Yun noticed something and said as he spread his divine sense. “Are we inside a private realm?”
“Yes! We discovered this small secret realm by accident while we were researching the ancient formation. The Spiritual Energy inside this secret realm is very dense. Moreover, this secret realm is a huge treasure pot filled with high-grade herbs and fruits.”
“Are there spirit beasts?” Feng Yun curiously asked. Most of the secret realms contain native spirit beasts. Feng Yun was sure this secret realm shouldn’t be much different either. However, even after spreading his divine sense hundreds of miles, he didn’t discover a single breath of spirit beasts.
“When we come here first, we have also the same concerns but strangely we didn’t find a single spirit beast in this entire secret realm. This secret realm is not big but has enough treasures to fulfill our entire sect’s demand. Isn’t great luck?” Yan Qiu replied happily.
“Come with me, I will show you the most interesting thing about this secret realm.” Yan Qiu said as she was walking, “One more thing, you can’t fly here.”
“Oh!” Feng Yun was slightly surprised. When he tried to fly, he realized the gravity increased all of a sudden. The higher he went; the denser gravity became. Even with his cultivation, he was finding it hard to levitate in the air, much less fly.
“Hehe, do not force it if you don’t want to taste the dirt?” Yan Zilan giggled.
“What an interesting place?” Tang Yue murmured with an amazed expression.
Not long after crossing the green forest, they arrived in front of the four-story pagoda-like building.
“What is it?”
“It’s an inheritance building.” Yan Zilan replied. “There are many inheritances of strong experts stored in the building other than there are many techniques stockpiled inside.” She continued to speak as they walked into the building.
As he entered the building, Feng Yun found that it was a wide empty hall. There were many portraits hanging on the walls, other than them it was completely empty. Feng Yun looked at Yan Zilan questioningly.
“Try observing one of these portraits?” Yan Qiu smirked mysteriously. Feng Yun raised his eyebrows as he walked to the portrait. Arriving in front of the portrait, he started to study it curiously. It was a picture of a tall man wearing red armor and holding a long spear in his hand. From his naked eyes, he found nothing then he tried using his divine sense.
Feng Yun suddenly found himself in a different world. Just as he was becoming curious, he saw the same tall man wearing armor standing in the sky holding a long red spear in his hand. The man in armor looked at the tall mountain peat in front with a resolute expression and swung his spear vertically.
The void shattered due to the overwhelming power of his spear; a terrifying slash strikes on the mountain, splitting it into two. Feng Yun who was watching this scene in the third-person view amazed by the strike. The strike was simple but it contained earth-shattering power.
The scenery was banished but Feng Yun’s eyes remained closed as he was recalling the strike of the man in armor. He found some profound words suddenly appeared in his mind; it was none other than spear skill used by the man armor.
After a while, Feng Yun opened his eyes. ‘Skill is good unfortunately, I’m a sword user.’ He murmured softly. Feng Yun finally understood the mystery behind these portraits. Each portrait contained an insight left behind by experts.
“You woke up so soon. Did you gain something?” Yan Qiu said in surprise.
“Yes, I learned a spear skill but I need to observe one more time to comprehend it completely.” Feng Yun said lightly.
“What?” Yan Qiu and Yan Zilan both exclaimed. “You learn it in your first attempt.”
“As expected from a monster. We have to observe dozens of times to learn it but he just learned it on the first attempt.” Yan Qiu sighed lightly.
“I am going to try another portrait.” Feng Yun’s eyes flickered with delight and said while he looked at dozens of portraits handing on the wall.
