BXBX NOVEL Chapter 229 The Real Truth
The Sky Heavens sect,
"So then. How the hell did you get to the Xiantian realm all of a sudden?" Li Tian asked. "And how the hell is the white tiger almost there already?" he glanced at Liu Feng\'s chest.
They were back in the same room that Liu Feng broke through all that time ago. It was fixed now though.
"I am a constellation beast, human. What did you expect?" Liu Man jumped out of Liu Feng\'s robes. He seemed bigger now. That was growth that had surprised Liu Feng already.
"And as for the level up? I am never going to let that go. How did you level up so fast?" Li Tian asked.
"Well, I took a few pills, and I think I got lucky. I don\'t know what else to say." Liu Feng could not exactly explain the existence of the system, could he?
"You just don\'t want to tell me. But that aside, there are more important things that we need to address right now. You are in the Xiantian stage now. You are officially a part of the war that is coming, whether you like it or not. So I think it is time you understand some things about this fight that your father is a part of." Li Tian sighed.
"I am finally going to understand the real story." Liu Feng sighed and looked forward with bright eyes of curiosity.
"The Ancient realms. We have to start there, right? The mythical place where people think miracles are made. Well all of that is bull shit. There is only one thing true about that world. The heavens decided to make that place a little bit more fierce. In here, cultivators are restricted to the Soul Evolution Stage. But in the Ancient Realms, we can go further. Our soul itself can transform, entering the Soul Transformation and beyond."
"What about here? If those are called the Ancient Realms, what do they call us? We are weaker than them, aren\'t we?" Liu Feng asked.
"That is true. Everyone thinks that this place is backward, for everyone are weaker than when compared to the Ancient Realms. The general public there call our homeland the Nethers, devoid of all resources. Every few years, when the portal between the two realms open, many cultivators from our side go there. But even then, they are treated as the bottom feedeers. Truly a pitiful stage, But never mind that. That is what the public calls this place. But the true name of this place... is the Realm of beginnings." Li Tian whispered at the end.
"The realm of beginnings?" Liu Feng was curious now.
"Yes. It is said that the gods themselves climbed to this place, and settled at one of the edges. No one knows where this place was, but apparently a city existed where the gods themselves resided. And from there, they ruled over the humans. This place is the beginning of our race, and probably all life in the world. That is why it is called the Realm of Beginnings." Li Tian said.
At this moment, it all made sense to Liu Feng. Unlike everyone else, he was at the staircase of heavens. He was at the city of heavens. And now, all of it clicked.
"Ah, I am derailing too much. This is not the true story. We need to get to the main part. The two families, yes. The two families of the Ancient Realms. Well, there are more than two families, obviously, but these two are big ones. They control two big regions of their own, and have been rivals for a while. One of them was the Long family, which you just faced, while the other, the other was the Liu family." he then looked at Liu Feng meaningfully.
"The Liu Family? I thought that my surname came from the Liu Family in Kaishi city." Liu Feng was confused now. He did not think that his real father would be surnamed Liu as well.
"Liu, now that is a common surname, is it not? There are more than one Liu Families in this kingdom alone, but you only know of yours. It was quite the surprise, actually, when your father met Liu Qian." Li Tian nodded.
"Anyways, the Liu and the Long families. Yes, two families against each other. One of them had the bloodline of dragons. They thought themselves the greatest clan of all time. And that dragon blood made them oh so haughty. But then, they did something stupid. Because of his lust, Long Xian went over to the Liu Family and laid his hands on your father\'s sister.
And that tipped it. Both families went to war, and your father took it upon himself to kill Long Xian. But then, Long Xian escaped to here, to the Nethers. And your father, the hot blooded fool he is, rushed in as well. But he had no help like Long Xian did. And because of the suppression of the heavens, everyone was suppressed to the Soul Evolution stage, and then the fight happened." Li Tian stopped for a moment and looked past Liu Feng, with a hollow look on his face.
"Oh well. Things happened, and the first fight stopped at a draw. While Long Xian convinced the royal family that they would get immense benefits if they helped him, your father went around, with no purpose in life but to kill Long Xian. On the way, he met us. Me, Liu Qian, and your father. And someone else, but I know he wants to seclude himself, so I will exclude him for now."
Liu Feng thought about the white robed man who had stepped in to save him so many times. That man was definitely the someone else.
"Wait. My father. You have been referring him as my father all this time. Why haven\'t you said his name?" Liu Feng asked.
"Because only he can say his name in the Realm of Beginnings! Only he can say it without the heavens being enraged! After all, his name means the ruler of the heavens! I do not want to go through that retaliation from the heavens now that I am so injured." Li Tian chuckled.
