Chapter 199 Too Much To Take At Once
Liu Feng just froze there. This was too much to take at once indeed.
The fact that his mother was a princess of Tiandu, and that his father was still in the kingdom, trying to free her, was shocking to say the least.
Even worse than all of that was what Master Mu said.
"After a year of hard work. One year of toiling like I never did before, one year of working my a$$ off, and they call me just strong enough to protect myself? Even the Xiantian realm is nothing but a starting step?" he crushed the glass that was in his hands with anger.
The waiter saw him do that, but did not dare step forward and attract the rage of a cultivator.
"Now, I have no idea what to do. Two years left. Two years to get to the Xiantian realm. No, Liu Feng. Are you stupid? To the Xiantian realm? In one year, you were able to get to this stage, to get to the place where many of the so called geniuses of this kingdom are at. Given twice the time now, you can only get to the Xiantian stage? No. I should go stronger than even master." Liu Feng resolutely thought.
His eyes shone with this new resolution. With every new challenge that came across his way, he would grow stronger.
But now, what came in front of him was not just any problem. It was a dam that blocked his way!
His body's birth mother was in danger! His birth father was trying to save her. And these people were after him as well.
These were all his enemies. These were all people that he had to eliminate. And he would do that. He would get strong enough for the entire kingdom to acknowledge him. He was done taking all of this.
Right now, he had the sudden urge to just disappear all of a sudden, and go to his residence in the Sky Heavens sect to cultivate.
But now was not the time to do that.
He thought to his system. The truest increase happened with the system. The four layers that he grew in one day were harder to get through than everything that he did before.
And that only meant that if he followed what the system wanted him to do, then he would go stronger beyond measure.
"Look at the bigger picture. The system is enough to get to the top of the world. The top of the world." he told himself and got up.
He put a few gold coins that he had lying around in his spatial ring and put them on the table.
Then, he left the restaurant.
The waiter that was afraid to confront him went to the table and found the gold coins. His eyes turned from fearful to joyful. This was a treasure for him. To get this much money!
He quickly put that money inside his pockets and went to another table.
Meanwhile, Liu Feng decided what he was going to do next. He decided that he was going to help out Master Mu.
After all, Master Mu was the only one in the entire world who finally decided to tell him the truth about things. So, he could only trust him.
For now, since he was in Master Mu's debt, he wanted to pay it off by going to that pill meet against the Handu kingdom.
And, the pill meet itself was still not over. Tomorrow, it would probably come to and end.
"I shouldn't try and get to number one. Too much attention. I should make it look like it was a fluke the first time around. Better let Bai Zhiqui or someone win the meet. That way, I shouldn't get too much trouble. But damn it, I still need to come in fourth somehow so that I will be eligible for the battle against Handu." all these thoughts raced around his head as he headed back to the Silver Bull Inn where he had already booked a room for a few days.
It was only a coincidence that this place happened to have a culmination of the strongest alchemy geniuses. It was probably the first time that the Inn had seen such strong and influential people in that place.
He walked in quietly and showed the innkeeper the token that he was given.
Just nodding, the Innkeeper let Liu Feng pass,
After walking to his room and shutting the door so that he had privacy, he let a sigh.
"Liu Man. Where are you?" he said silently.
"Right where you left me. It looks like you had quite the day didn't you? I mean, you finally went against that girl that pissed you off." Liu Man jumped onto the bed.
"Yes, I did. And I won. All that aside, today was big because someone was finally caring enough to tell me the truth about my parents." Liu Feng laid on the bed, right next to Liu Man.
"Interesting." Liu Man nodded.
Liu Feng proceeded to tell him what happened. At the moment that Liu Feng was telling him about where his father apparently came from, he was stopped by Liu Man.
"The Ancient Realms? That does not make sense. I am sure that I know of the geography of this place. The ancient realms do exist, but for someone to come all the way here from the ancient realms, something big must have happened. To enter the ancient realm is difficult because it is another realm unto itself!" Liu Man said.
"Another realm unto itself?" Liu Feng was curious.
"It is definitely where you are headed to next if you want to do what you think you want to do. To become the strongest in the world, to conquer it, you must conquer every one in every step of your way." Liu Man declared.
