139: Chapter 139 Yanhuo Recognizes His Father
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse; the night breeze blew gently.
On the top floor of the Duobao Tower in Zhaoye City, a sound of a door opening and closing, so faint as to be inaudible, drifted out.
Along with a muffled, confused murmur.
"Shh!"
Chu Feng came to Little Yan's bedside, covered his mouth with one hand, and made a shushing gesture, signaling Little Yan to be quiet.
Little Yan opened his eyes in a daze, raised his sandbag-sized iron fist to rub his sleepy eyes, and asked, "Brother?"
Chu Feng hurriedly cast a shielding barrier over the two of them so that their voices would not carry outside.
Little Yan stared blankly at Chu Feng's actions, showing little reaction.
Chu Feng glanced at the space ring on Little Yan's hand, which was identical to his own, and asked in a low voice, "Little Yan, have you acknowledged Father?"
Little Yan scratched his head and nodded, "Junior Sister said that Father can be acknowledged, and he gives Spirit Stones."
He chuckled and touched his space ring, "So many Spirit Stones, more than even Revered Master has."
Chu Feng rolled his eyes. It was common knowledge that a Sword Cultivator was poor; wasn't it normal to have more than his Revered Master?
"Then did Father give you a Cultivation Technique?"
Little Yan's eyes widened, "Cultivation Technique? Little Yan has a Cultivation Technique."
Chu Feng frowned. This wouldn't do!
He had to take advantage of the fact that Father still felt guilty toward him and ask for an Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique for Little Yan as well.
Chu Feng had thought that he was the only one with an Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique.
"Little Yan, come with me!" Chu Feng dragged Little Yan out of bed.
The hulking Little Yan was dragged away by him with ease.
Little Yan didn't feel like he was losing face; he actually found it quite fun and didn't move, letting Chu Feng drag him along.
Chu Feng opened the door carefully and probed outward with his Divine Sense, especially toward the doors of the other brothers.
Seeing no movement, he dragged Little Yan out and headed toward Luo Yunkai's room.
The top floor of the Duobao Tower used a space expansion Formation; even using an escape technique, it took Chu Feng over a hundred breaths to reach Luo Yunkai's door.
Before Chu Feng could knock, the door opened on its own without a breeze.
"Come in." Luo Yunkai's calm voice drifted from inside the room.
Chu Feng straightened his expression and pulled Little Yan into the room.
When the two stepped into the room, the lights flared up without warning, making the room as bright as day.
Chu Feng and Little Yan came to the bedside, where Luo Yunkai sat cross-legged in the center, watching them with kind eyes.
Within those eyes, there was a knowing look that seemed to see through everything.
Chu Feng knew he was shameless, but he owed Little Yan too much.
He pulled Little Yan down and knelt before Luo Yunkai together, "Father!"
Little Yan was pinched by Chu Feng's hand hidden under his red sleeve, so he hurriedly shouted, "Father."
【Ding! Little Yan has acknowledged his father. Ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for an education fund have been deposited. Please check, Host!】
Only then could Little Yan be considered truly acknowledged.
Luo Yunkai was more and more satisfied the more he looked at Chu Feng. Regardless of what devious schemes this child was hiding, the practical benefits he brought to him, his father, were real.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to remind the not-so-bright Little Yan that they needed a formal acknowledgment.
That would surely make others suspicious and cause them to probe into his motives.
The System would certainly not be exposed, but people would see through the truth of his eagerness to have his Bloodline acknowledge him, and then use it against him.
That would be very disadvantageous.
Luo Yunkai's expression became increasingly kind, "Little Feng, I know your purpose in bringing Little Yan here."
Chu Feng's eyes lit up instantly.
"Then Father..."
A smile hung on Luo Yunkai's face as he thought, "System, check Little Yan's panel information, and by the way, give me an Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique suitable for Little Yan."
【Name: Little Yan
Gender: Male
Age: Nineteen years and three months
Talent: Sun True Fire (Damaged)
Spiritual Root: Fire Spiritual Root
Cultivation: Early Golden Core Stage】
A very magnificent panel!
Luo Yunkai even admired Chu Jiaojiao a bit; with a father like him who had Five Spiritual Roots, she was still able to give birth to two sons with Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Awesome~! (Voice crack)!
However, how could Luo Yunkai know that the talents of Chu Feng and the other were artificially modified, not natural.
Chu Feng's Blood Spiritual Root was created using a method of cultivating Blood Spiritual Roots that Chu Jiaojiao obtained from the Demonic Lord Legacy; while in the womb, it was deliberately modified using the essence blood of various Yao Beasts.
Because it was modified and not natural, Chu Feng's Blood Spiritual Root was unstable and required the essence blood of powerful Yao Beasts to fill and stabilize the Spiritual Root.
That was why he sought out the Wind Beast in the Wind Valley that had failed to pass its Deity Transformation Tribulation Lightning.
Chu Feng wasn't natural, but Little Yan must be, right?
Of course not!
Little Yan was not the target of the modification. As an embryo, he lacked Chu Jiaojiao's special protective measures and should have been unable to withstand the chaotic essence blood of the Yao Beasts in the embryonic environment.
Furthermore, he shared the same mother as Chu Feng, who had a modified Blood Spiritual Root that was extremely Yin and extremely evil.
Little Yan was destined to die in the womb.
But the System existed for Luo Yunkai's Bloodline; even the birth of these Bloodlines was the System's credit. How could it let Little Yan end up dying in the womb?
The System sensed the crisis that Little Yan might perish before he was even born, and decisively used a bit of System energy to help Little Yan overcome the difficulty.
Extremely Yin and evil, extremely Yang and rigid; in this way, a balance was achieved, allowing him to be successfully gestated in Chu Jiaojiao's womb.
Little Yan was born with Sun True Fire, which was a natural restraint against Demonic Cultivators, which was why it was difficult for Chu Jiaojiao, a Cultivator, to give birth to Little Yan.
And he was abandoned the moment he was born.
The System was about to sound an alarm at the time, but Little Yan was saved by the Blazing Fire Sword Ancestor.
Sensing that Little Yan's Physique could help the Blazing Fire Sword Ancestor achieve a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, the Blazing Fire Sword Ancestor would certainly take good care of Little Yan. The System then went dormant, waiting for a Host Bloodline that would truly experience a death tribulation to become the opportunity for the System to be revealed.
This wait lasted nineteen years, until Xiao Tian...
"System, where is the Cultivation Technique?" Luo Yunkai asked doubtfully.
【Host, Little Yan's talent is incomplete, so he cannot Cultivate an Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique. There is no point in issuing it now. Wait until you have completed the Sun True Fire, then the System will issue the Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique.】
Luo Yunkai was stunned, "Back then, Xuanfeng's Physique hadn't even been activated, yet he could still Cultivate an Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique. Why can't Little Yan do it now?"
【Because the Cultivation Technique suitable for Little Yan to Cultivate is too destructive. The incomplete Sun True Fire cannot control an Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique; Cultivating it will only lead to his body exploding and death.】
Luo Yunkai stroked his chin and glanced at Chu Feng, who was a bit anxious, "Give me the Cultivation Technique first; I'll just let him look at it, I won't let him Cultivate it."
The System was silent for a few breaths, seemingly thinking.
【《Sun True Fire Immortal Scripture》 has been issued. Please check, Host.】
《Sun True Fire Immortal Scripture》?
《Taiyin Blood Soul Demonic Scripture》!
Heh, the Cultivation Techniques of these twin brothers were actually heading in opposite, conflicting directions.
Luo Yunkai flattened his palm, and a Jade Slip that still emitted a dazzling halo under the lamplight appeared in his palm.
Chu Feng held his breath. This was it!
Little Yan's eyes were glued to the Jade Slip, and a persistent, urgent desire rose from the bottom of his heart.
However, Luo Yunkai only let Chu Feng and Little Yan take one look before turning and putting the Jade Slip away.
Chu Feng was stunned, and Little Yan anxiously raised his hand to grab it.
Luo Yunkai laughed and grabbed Little Yan's large hand that was reaching over, "What's the rush? It will be yours sooner or later."
Little Yan withdrew his hand and smiled honestly.
Chu Feng frowned and stared fixedly at Luo Yunkai, "Father, I am willing to go to the Demonic Sect to find the map of the Soul Stone Secret Realm. I hope Father will give the Cultivation Technique to Little Yan."
Luo Yunkai's smile froze on his face.
