“Brother, did you gain new insights?”

Zhang Xue’er, who was at the side, could not help but ask.

She wanted to get a definite answer now.

“Yes.

“I just comprehended a body refining skill.

“It’s very weak as it is only at the fifth level of ancient martial arts.”

Zhang Yang replied indifferently. It seemed that nothing unexpected had happened.

Xue’er’s strength had almost recovered.

That explained why there was that strange spiritual energy fluctuation.

On the other hand, even though Zhang Xue’er was already prepared, she was still shocked when she received the actual result.

Who would have thought that Father Zhang would also hear those words?

As an elder, he had bitterly cultivated for more than forty years. Who would have thought that in just two or three days, he would have been surpassed by his son who was eighteen years younger than him?

Most importantly, he was still so young, and he had almost all of his potential, talent, and power.

It had only been a day… and he was already that terrifying?

When he thought of this, the corners of his mouth twitched a little.

He was envious and jealous, even though this person was his son.

However, at that moment, he felt happy for him from the bottom of his heart. After all, they were father and son who shared the same bloodline.

In the future, it was not impossible for them to hand the Evil Spirit Sect over to him and grow it into a top-tier invincible sect in the Eastern continent.

He believed that this day would come very soon, and he was extremely certain of it.

Looking at the gratified expression on Father Zhang’s face, Zhang Yang’s heart was slightly moved.

He had transmigrated here a long time ago, and he had completely fused into this world.

The human heart was made of flesh. Without his father’s tacit approval, it was impossible for him to enjoy such good treatment within the sect.

Although his father was the sect master, Evil Spirit Sect was not built by one person, but by all the sect disciples. Regarding this point, it had already been confirmed when the sect was established.

Zhang Yang had acknowledged his identity, and he had also accepted his father from the bottom of his heart.

“Hmph!

“If I had known that you were so talented, I wouldn’t have allowed you to cultivate on your own on Broken Sword Peak. I could have found a few master teachers to guide you. Perhaps, you might have been able to avoid many detours.

“Perhaps, you might have grown stronger and walked further than you are now. This would have made me feel even more gratified.

“Child, you have wasted a lot of time.”

Zhang Lifu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly sighed.

‘Wasted time? Taking a detour?’

After listening to him, Zhang Yang’s mind buzzed.

He must have misunderstood something.

“Father, I think you must have misunderstood. The cultivation I did in the past did not waste my time.

“Without the accumulation and foundation of the early stages, I would not have been able to train myself to be calm and composed. Even if I had the strength, my foundation would be unstable and I would have gone mad. At that time, it would have been difficult to save me. Perhaps the foundation of the orthodox would have been destroyed sooner or later.”

“It makes sense for you to think like that. If virtue is not in place, there will definitely be a disaster.

“Moreover, your cultivation speed is not slow, and your foundation is also very solid. It should be the result of the accumulation of strength.

“Mm, it’s better to accumulate strength. Back then, our Zhang family also had a genius like you. However, because his foundation was not solid, he forcefully broke through. In the end, he died under the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. This was indeed a lesson.”

After listening, Zhang Yang spoke again, “I agree with father’s point of view. After ten years of accumulation, my foundation is extremely solid. To say that it’s a gift from the heavens is nothing more than this.

“Furthermore, it didn’t waste any time. Back then, the strongest genius who was with me was only at first dan Xiantian realm. Now, I can kill him with one hand.

“Finally, the mental strength training might not be inferior to a simple increase in strength. Based on my personal experience, I am inclined toward the former. Maybe I can reach the Xiantian realm and above.”

“Xiantian realm and above?!”

Father Zhang suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened.

“Yang’er, are you sure?!”

“How many years have I been in the Eastern continent? The strongest person is only at ninth dan Xiantian realm. He hasn’t even reached the peak yet.”

“I don’t know when he reached the peak, but the ninth dan Xiantian realm practitioner has retired from the triad. I haven’t heard any news from him since.

“As for the Western continent and the Devil Gate continent, it is said that some people have already broken through to the Xiantian realm and above. One day, a groundbreaking war will break out between the three sides. At that time, I reckon that we will be very passive…

“However, I believe in you!”

Father Zhang seemed to have suddenly thought of something and decided to tell the truth.

Zhang Yang had the need and the obligation to know all of this.

“Now listen carefully. Your ancestor is a body-refining disciple of the Eastern continent, a super-first-class force of the great Heavenly Gate.

“Hundreds of years ago, the Eastern continent, the Western continent, and the Devil’s Gate continent broke out in a decisive military battle.

“In order to defend the honor and pride of the East, your ancestor sacrificed himself gloriously in the decisive battle. It won time for the arrival of the main forces, and it also won a perfect opportunity to counterattack for the final victory.

“Therefore, in order to thank our Zhang family for their efforts, the Heavenly Gate has left a spot. In the future, as long as you are a member of the Zhang family, you can enter the Heavenly Gate with the commemorative token from that year and become a glorious disciple.

“Your grandfather and I believe that we are not capable and have no talent. Even if we enter, we will be kicked out of the gate. Now, we have decided to give the token to you.”

Zhang Yang solemnly took the token with a long history. The dense lines on it gave off an ancient aura.

At this moment, he did not think that under the cover of his white lies, he would be able to obtain such hidden anecdotes.

This world seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined, and it was much more powerful.

Capable people and extraordinary people were constantly emerging.

He was extremely certain that there was not a single person in the Eastern continent who could fight at the same time.

However, he did not understand the Western continent and the demonic continent at all.

It seemed that it was better to be more stable and develop in the future.

He could just be a salted fish on the surface and observe quietly.

While reducing unnecessary hostility, he could also secretly make a fortune.

‘Hmm, let’s do it this way.’

“You’ve woven a white lie, Buddhist golden mouth attribute +99.”

“You’ve observed an ancient token. Enlightenment attribute +99.”

…

The familiar sound of a notification flashed past.

Right now, he felt a warm energy wrapping around his body, and his entire body felt extremely relaxed.

However, with his talent and strength, it was better not to have this token!

…

Thus, he decided to return the token.

“Leave the token to those who need it. It would be a waste to give it to me. Do you really trust me?”

Father Zhang was speechless.

That was indeed the case, but could this little brat leave some face for his father?

After that, in Zhang Yang’s opinion, was this not equivalent to taking on the glory of his ancestors and using a backdoor? He felt disdained to do such a thing.

Hmm?

Looking at the time displayed on the screen, it seemed that the selection would start in seven days.

Therefore, it was still not too late to rush over.

It seemed that they were still on Devil Spirit Mountain.

Eh!

This was a coincidence…

He had a complete strategy map…
