"My…. Mother? Who was she? Do you realize that until now, everyone has been skirting the truth? Everyone says that they are not the right person to tell me." Liu Feng clenched his fists in anger.
"Well this time, I think that you should know. This time, you can learn the truth." Master Mu sighed.
"Your parents. Both of them, are alive. I think that you already suspected that to be the case a long time ago?" Master Mu said.
To that, Liu Feng only nodded. He knew that they were still alive. There were so many clues lying around pointing to the same. And everyone said that only Liu Qian could tell him the truth, but what was he waiting for?
"You must be curious as to why you are related to the imperial family. After all, the coronation should be of no connection to someone who has never ever stepped foot in the capital. But the selection of the new king has so much to do with you." Master Mu took a sip of the tea that was on the table.
"And you must be wondering why I am the person who is telling you all of this. I am someone that you have only met once." Master Mu smiled.
"Does it have anything to do with the Pill Meet here?" Liu Feng asked.
"You are a clever boy. The Myriad Aspects Pill. It is one of the rarest pill to find, and almost impossible to make with high purity. And the problem is that no alchemist wants to make this pill because it will blot their perfect record. Only in a place like the pill met will so many people try to make the Myriad Aspects Pill, and ten succeed. In fact, if I knew that you were so adept in making this pill, the entire meet wouldn't even take place." Master Mu said.
"Who is the Myriad Aspects Pill for?" Liu Feng asked with a serious face. He had a feeling that this was also related to him.
"Your father. Who else. For seventeen years, he has been trying to break your mother out of the most impenetrable prison in the entire kingdom, and failed. But now, with this one pill that you made, he will finally be able to do that." Master Mu said.
"How do you know him? Who even is he?"
Master Mu tapped on the table, and suddenly, the wood on it started getting carved. Shapes began to appear.
"Tiandu. Handu. Ginshi. Jianlong. Kingdoms, empires, all of these lasting hundreds if not thousands of years. But in this world. In this world, there are too many monsters. The Xiantian Realm may be the peak in this corner of the world, but in other corners, it is nothing but the start to the road of cultivation. Beyond these kingdoms, lie the ancient realms. And your father fell from there and landed in this place, almost crippled. As for the person who found him, that was me." Master Mu sighed and closed his eyes, reminiscing the moment when he came upon a young man who was almost dead, lying on the ground.
It was like he fell down all the way from Heaven, betrayed by his fellows, and forced to fall upon the mortal world.
"As for your mother, the jewel in the eyes of the entire kingdom, the princess of Tiandu, she was the most beautiful woman in the kingdom without a doubt. When these two met and fell in love, it was a match made in heavens. But for every such match, there are jealous snakes trying to ruin them.
Your father's enemies came to Tiandu. The capital city turned into a battlefield, and it was not a pretty sight. Blood shed everywhere. Your foster father, Liu Qian, he stepped in. A one in a thousand year genius. He fought against these enemies even though the royal family forbade anyone from the kingdom to go against your father's enemies.
The fight was legendary, but no one lost. Everyone only retreated. Your mother gave birth to you in the heat of the battle, but the royal family wanted to kill you. They could not allow you to stay alive. So, to appease the royal family, Liu Qian suppressed his own cultivation, while your mother crippled you with her own hands. And then, the royal family betrayed your mother, locking her away in exchange for benefits. And your father was too injured to do anything about it." Master Mu coughed a little and looked out the window, as if someone was going to come towards them now.
"And the Myriad Aspects Pill can help him recover?" Liu Feng asked.
"If a pill that a mere Nascent Soul Stage Alchemist can make can totally help your father recover, then the entire kingdom would have been turned upside down." he chuckled.
"Then what is this for?"
"An old injury that keeps acting up. In two years, everyone wants you to get to the Xiantian stage not because you will be able to contribute to the fight that will happen. No, someone will need to be in the Xiantian stage just to qualify for participating. This will be the biggest fight all the kingdoms have ever seen. We want you to grow stronger so that you can survive. So that in a decade, you can rise up to the level that you are supposed to attain. So that you can go back and claim what is yours in the Ancient Realms."
"Claim what is mine in the Ancient Realms? You have to back up a little. There is so much that I can't understand. There are so many parts of this story that make no sense! And you still haven't told me who my parents are! If my father is alive and free, where is he?" Liu Feng asked.
These questions that have been in his head for too long came out like a dam.
"I told you what I know. The gaps... the gaps have to be covered by your father. Now, I have a meet to prepare for. Hopefully, you will come and help us out against Handu." Master Mu stood up and left.
