"Dad, have you been out of the Nine Yang Dynasty?!"
A person’s ability to travel far is proportionate to their strength.
On one hand, the stronger you are, the faster you are, and the farther you can go.
On the other hand, the farther you go, the more dangers you encounter, and without enough strength, you wouldn’t dare to travel far!
"Haha, not just the Nine Yang Dynasty... Since I told you the Nine Yang Dynasty is nothing, I’ve naturally seen the true vast world."
Qin Chuan raised his head slightly proud, then, as if remembering something, a hint of self-mockery flashed in his eyes.
Qin Zi saw this trace of self-mockery, and suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, asking with concern.
Qin Chuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Qin Zi, a trace of sadness appearing on his face: "Do you know... where your mother is now?"
"Mother... wasn’t she long dead?"
Qin Zi thought for a moment, confused.
He remembered that his mother died in childbirth, at least from childhood till now, everyone, including his father, said so.
"No, your mother is actually still alive, she was just... taken away by her family."
Qin Chuan’s voice was low and hoarse, tinged with a touch of pain.
It was like a person escaping reality with alcohol suddenly sobers up, recalling those unbearable past memories...
Qin Zi’s eyes widened, he had heard before that his mother was brought back by his father during his training outside, of unknown origin.
It’s said that when his parents got married, they faced a lot of resistance from many elders in the family, and even no one attended the wedding.
"Yes, your mother’s family... is a truly gigantic entity, the Nine Yang Dynasty in their eyes can be annihilated with a snap of a finger."
Qin Chuan said softly.
Qin Zi gasped, annihilating the Nine Yang Dynasty with a snap of a finger, what level of power is that?
One must know, the Nine Yang Dynasty has experts of Heavenly Realm!
Cultivation is divided into nine major realms: Body Tempering, True Essence, Yuan Dan, Pure Yang, Nirvana, Heavenly, Supreme, Realm Emperor, Martial Emperor.
The Heavenly Realm, as the sixth major realm of cultivation, is already very strong.
For a long time, Qin Zi snapped back to his senses, asking with unease: "Dad, what level of power is mother’s family?"
Qin Chuan’s face suddenly hardened, his voice stern: "Knowing too much now will not do you any good, don’t aim too high."
Qin Zi nodded thoughtfully, feeling happy inside—at least his mother was still alive!
Qin Zi thought for a moment, then asked: "Dad, you should have been very strong before? Why are you now..."
Why is there such a huge gap between your current state and those past events you spoke of? It’s completely hard to believe!
Qin Chuan sighed, saying: "Back then, when they took your mother away, they planned to kill us father and son."
"After all, your mother was their Holy Daughter, our existence as father and son was equivalent to a blemish on their family."
"Ultimately, your mother threatened them with death, so they didn’t kill us. However, to prevent me from seeking revenge later, they sealed my cultivation."
"The Yuan Dan I previously had inside me was actually a seal!"
"It not only sealed my original cultivation but also prevented me from retraining. Over these years I have only been able to maintain the Yuan Dan realm."
Upon speaking to here, he suddenly raised his head, smiling.
The smile was biting, even a bit grim!
"But the heavens have eyes! On a recent trip to a deadland finding herbs for you, I inadvertently triggered an ancient array that shattered the seal!"
Qin Zi, upon hearing this, abruptly breathed heavily!
He looked at his father with shining eyes, excitedly saying: "Dad, you mean... your strength..."
"Yes, with the seal broken, my strength will quickly return to its former realm, and even continue to progress!"
He raised his head proudly, suddenly, an imposing aura soared into the sky, his long hair moving without wind!
Pointing out the world!
As if... that once galloping across the heavens and earth, a peerless prodigy that amazed a generation, has returned!
Qin Zi dumbly looked at his father, nervously saying: "Father, what realm did you actually reach back then?"
Qin Chuan lowered his head looking at his son, a mysterious smile: "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. I can only tell you... cultivation doesn’t end at the ninth realm."
Qin Chuan in his past life as a businessman, understood well that some things should not be too clear.
Firstly, it easily reveals flaws.
Secondly, anything clearly explained tends to lose value, only by maintaining mystery can it seem upscale!
As expected, hearing such words, Qin Zi sucked in a breath sharply, almost passing out on the spot.
He utterly trusted his father.
Thus, no matter how fantastical the words, as long as they came from his father’s mouth, he believed at least seventy percent!
And at this moment, Qin Chuan pressed forward.
He glanced at the black ring on his cheap son’s hand, smiling as he said: "This ring is quite nice, obtained during this trip?"
Qin Zi quickly lowered his head, his eyes somewhat evasive, even with a hint of struggle and guilt.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan instantly understood.
This ring must have an old man in it!
It should be the old man instructing the cheap son not to disclose the secret of the ring, which caused the cheap son’s guilt for deceiving him.
At once, taking advantage of his son’s lowered head, he meaningfully glanced at the ring.
That expression profound, as if saying—old man, stop hiding, I’ve seen you.
He believed, if there really was an old man in the ring, he’d definitely be frightened by this "all-seeing" look of his.
As long as the old man later tells the cheap son, his strong image in the son’s heart would be established!
Of course, possibly, the ring has no old man, just some other secret.
But that doesn’t matter, anyway, no one saw it, even if winking at air, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about...
After a while, Qin Chuan gritted his teeth, raised his head abruptly, seemingly wanting to confess to Qin Chuan.
After all, how can a master be more important than a father?
As the saying goes, a day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, he hasn’t even... taken a master yet.
Qin Chuan immediately patted his head, smiling: "Everyone has their secrets, Dad doesn’t mind."
Qin Zi shivered, then nodded emotionally, only his father always understood him this way.
"A person stands not without integrity, remember, whatever you promise others, do your utmost to accomplish it."
"If you really can’t achieve it... there’s still Dad."
Qin Chuan said gently, then glanced at the ring again.
This sentence, with a double meaning!
It was said to that possibly existing "ring old man" as well as to Qin Zi.
If that ring old man really exists, after hearing this, he’d believe more that Qin Chuan discovered him.
Thus, the image of an absolute strongman is completely established in the ring old man’s heart.
As long as the ring old man believes, helping a bit, the cheap son would completely believe his father to be an absolute strongman!
Of course, as mentioned earlier.
This is just a possibility.
Maybe there’s no old man after all.
However, even if there isn’t an old man, his two sentences wouldn’t be awkward, a father teaching his son bit of philosophy, is there a problem with that?
