CHAPTER 336: FATHER’S LETTER 1

[You have already met Jingyu if you are reading this. She is capable and trustworthy; you can rely on her whenever you need help. However, she will return to my side after you leave the Tianqi continent.]

After reading this, Shen Xu nodded with a thoughtful expression.

"So, her name is Jingyu." He muttered and turned to Zhen Yuan.

"Ayuan, do you think her name is related to her ability?" He asked.

"I am not sure, but the ’Jing’ in her name is the Jing of ’mirror’ and the ’Yu’ is the Yu of ’universe’. The name could be related to her ability." Zhen Yuan said.

"I think so too." Shen Xu said and continued reading.

[I know you have a lot of questions, but I can only answer a few for the time being. First, your mother. Her name is Bai Xue, the princess of the Bai family in the immortal realm.]

[The Bai family is a clan of light spiritual root cultivators. They marry within the clan and rarely form relationships with foreign cultivators. I am not a light spiritual root cultivator, and your mother had a fiancée at the time of our meeting. Our encounter was destined to never be more than a passing fling.]

Reading this, Shen Xu couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.

However, he suppressed his discomfort and continued reading.

[We met in a secret realm and were accidentally contaminated with the passion poison. After the accident, I wanted to take responsibility, but she was unwilling. She loved her fiancée, and I understood. In the end, we parted on good terms without realising she was pregnant with my child.]

[What happened after your mother and I parted is a long story which must be told in person. However, Xu’er, although you were conceived under such circumstances, you are father’s child. You are the treasure that the heavens finally gave me after years of living.]

"What do you think?" Shen Xu questioned after reading this part.

"It’s a common story." Zhen Yuan said, and the double nodded, recalling Li Wenqiang’s and Lin Xiang’s experience in the Demon Plants Forest.

’Fortunately, Ayuan and I have eaten the love peach and are immune to all kinds of love and passion poisons.’ He thought, but soon regained his focus.

"I am quite interested in the long story." He said.

"Xiaoxu..." Zhen Yuan started with a complicated expression.

"I know what you want to say." The double sighed and quickly continued.

"I am the result of an accident, and I don’t have a light spiritual root. It makes sense that Bai Xue didn’t keep me in the Bai family."

"Bai Xue?"

Hearing the question, Shen Xu frowned and struggled to express his thoughts.

A moment later, he sighed and began speaking.

"I have never met either of my parents. However, I always feel a bond with my father but none with my mother. Ayuan, I trust my instincts on this matter. I don’t think we should have anything to do with the Bai family."

"I will follow your lead." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing the double’s hair.

After that, Shen Xu suddenly chuckled with an amused expression.

"Ayuan, do you really think they parted on good terms?" He asked.

He had read many novels and watched hundreds of dramas when he was in the modern world.

Drawing from those experiences, Shen Xu very much doubted that his father and Bai Xue parted on good terms.

After all, Bai Xue was a princess, and her fiancé was definitely a powerful person.

Even if Bai Xue didn’t give his father a hard time, would the fiancé be so magnanimous? Shen Xu didn’t think so and could already imagine the chaos that followed the incident.

"You can ask your father for the memory when we meet him in the future." Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu rolled his eyes.

"I somehow doubt that he would give it to me." He said with a thoughtful expression.

Three breaths later, the double smiled, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Jingyu is Father’s weapon and was likely there during the incident. Do you think she will agree to give me the memory?"

"Are you so invested in watching your father’s jokes?"

"I can’t help it." The double said and shrugged.

Hearing this, Zhen Yuan shook his head but had a doting expression.

"We can ask her after we leave the space."

"Good." Shen Xu nodded and continued reading the letter.

[Xu’er, my relationship with your mother has nothing to do with your relationship with her. You can make your own judgment on this matter.]

After that, the letter shifted from Bai Xue to the towers.

[You are still in the Tianqi continent and are likely planning to go to the Tianxuan continent in the near future. Xu’er, under no circumstances should you use the eight towers teleportation formation! Father can’t explain the reason for the time being, but I hope you will take this matter to heart and not use the formation.]

"As expected, the eight-towers teleportation formation is an evil thing." Shen Xu exclaimed.

"Mmh." Zhen Yuan nodded and quickly continued.

"The soul imprint may be more troublesome than we thought."

"I think so too." The double nodded.

"To control a weapon like Jingyu, your father’s cultivation should not be low, but even he specifically warns about the teleportation formation. Maybe the immortal behind it is not easy to handle and has ulterior motives that haven’t been exposed yet." Zhen Yuan guessed.

"I am actually confused about this." Shen Xu said.

In the book, Xiao Weimin and his harem used the eight-tower teleportation formation.

However, Xiao Weimin was the main protagonist, and he perfectly avoided the mining trap.

Following that, he improved his cultivation and later ascended without encountering any incidents.

Whether in the Tianxuan continent or the immortal realm, the soul imprint did not cause trouble for Xiao Weimin.

That said, Shen Xu didn’t disregard his father’s warning.

After all, he was not the main protagonist, and the world would not go out of its way to protect him.

"It seems we really can’t use the eight towers teleportation formation." Shen Xu said.

"Your father made sure we weren’t forced to." Zhen Yuan said, referring to the ship.

"He did." Shen Xu nodded.

"After arriving in the Tianxuan continent, I will find someone who has used the eight towers teleportation formation and carefully examine them. Maybe I will discover a clue." Zhen Yuan said.

"It’s necessary." The double agreed.

Although they wouldn’t use the tower, Shen Xu still wanted to know what the threat was.

After all, their group would eventually go to the immortal realm.

Because of this, he wanted to know everything about the potential threat so that they could avoid it or find a way to deal with it.

[When the time comes, ascend naturally and don’t take shortcuts. This matter is important and not to be taken lightly.] Shen Xu read and nodded.

"I never thought of using other methods to go to the immortal realm." He said.

Other than natural ascension channels, some hidden families in the Tianxuan continent had clan ascension channels.

These channels could allow cultivators to ascend to the immortal realm without reaching the peak of the tribulation transcending realm and without grasping their star of immortality.

However, not everyone could use these channels.

If outsiders wanted to borrow a way, they would pay a steep price, and the end result may not be satisfactory.

After all, the ascension channels led to family grounds in the immortal realm.

If one encountered a mercenary clan, they would likely be captured and enslaved for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu shuddered and wholeheartedly agreed with his father’s warning.

"Xiaoxu, have you thought of what will happen when we ascend?" Zhen Yuan suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Shen Xu asked.

"Feng Xue is a phoenix, Yang Shi is a ten-headed world-swallowing python, and Li Wenqiang is a spirit weapon. Even if we ascend from the same place, we will likely arrive at different places." Zhen Yuan said, and the double subconsciously frowned.

"I hadn’t thought of that." He said.

"We must prepare for this possibility before ascending. Otherwise, finding each other will become troublesome."

Shen Xu nodded when he heard this.

However, he was grateful that he and Zhen Yuan shared the Chaos Flame Space. That way, even if they were separated, they would have a way of immediately reconnecting.

"Let’s not worry about ascension for the time being." Shen Xu said and continued reading the letter.

[Jingyu should have given you a bracelet. You may find it annoying that you can’t remove it, but that bracelet is father’s way of protecting you. However, the bracelet will only activate if you encounter a life and death crisis. I hope you never need to use it, but know that father is always protecting you, even if he is not there with you.]

’I know.’ Shen Xu thought, and a sheen of tears appeared in his eyes.

[Xu’er, meeting is fate, and not meeting is also fate.] The double continued reading.
