Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 229: Origin of the Ancestors

In the southern regions Fang Manor

I succeeded! Grandfather, I forged an immortal vein! Fang Zhixue shot to her feet in excitement, with a surge of spirit ki enveloping her.

Victorious Buddha, Great Mountain Tiger, and Blue Azure quietly looked at Fang Zhixue with heartened looks. Their little senior aunt had finally become a cultivator.

You were only lucky. Dont let it get to your heart, Fang Zhentian replied with a hearty laugh.

Fang Cangyou mumbled grudgingly from the wheelchair, Even Zhixue has forged her immortal vein. I really have no talent for cultivation.

You might overcome the hurdle whenever you throw away that wheelchair of yours, Fang Zhentian eyed Fang Cangyou and placidly replied.

Fang Cangyou rolled his wheelchair forward and said, Father, I am already used to it. I think it works fine. Only then will others look down on me, so that I can maintain a low profile.

Fang Zhentian shook his head. He turned back to Fang Zhixue and said, Zhixue, forging an immortal vein is no easy feat. Your hard work did play a part, but the spirit spring and ki stones played a vital part too. Dont attribute your success solely to your own effort. Your big brother had painstakingly set the stage for your breakthrough.

Fang Zhixue had indeed let her success get to her head, and Fang Zhentians words made her lower her head.

Grandfather, successes are meant to be celebrated. Theres no need to be so harsh to Zhixue, Fang Chen said cheerily as he walked in.

Fang Zhixue exclaimed in joy, Big brother!

Master! The three faes quickly bowed.

Youre back? Fang Zhentian smiled. How did your trip go?

It went well. Fang Chen nodded. He proceeded to introduce Liu Mu to the others.

Fang Zhentian and the others felt pitiful upon learning about Liu Mus plight.

Rest assured. Now that my big brother is here, hell find a way to rid you of those tumors, so that you can live a normal persons life, Fang Zhixue assured.

Liu Mu replied with a series of Ahs, and his unconfidence dispelled a little.

Grandfather, the poison in him might blow up soon, so Im planning to head out with him in search of a treatment method. I have a 100-year-old Scarlet Fruit and 100-year-old Blood Ginseng here. Please take them. Fang Chen handed those two to Fang Zhentian.

Drawing talismans was his way of cultivation; he thought that Fang Zhentian could put his ki stones, Blood Ginseng, and Scarlet Fruits to better use.

Its overflowing with spirit ki. Its good stuff. I have already forged my second immortal vein. With these, it wont be long before I forge my third one. Fang Zhentians eyes lit up, and he stowed away the Blood Ginseng and Scarlet Fruit in his storage ring.

Then, his face suddenly turned grim, and he said, Chener, I think its about time to tell you.

Fang Chen was taken aback. What kind of matter would bring such a grim expression to grandfathers face? He nodded. Grandfather, please speak.

Fang Zhentian sighed as nostalgia seeped into his eyes. My grandfather told me something back when I was at a young age. I thought he had gone senile as he was nearing the end of his lifespan, so I didnt take it to heart, but now that I think about it, its most likely true.

My great-great grandfather?

Fang Chen was baffled. My great-great grandfather died a long time ago, and he was buried in the Immemorial Mausoleum. What does this matter have to do with him?

Grandfather, what is it? Fang Chen asked.

Where do you think our Fang Clan is from? Fang Zhentian asked.

Is it not Great Xia?

Fang Zhentian chuckled. Great Xia was conquered by the ancestors of our Fang Clan and the Xia Clan. Where do you think we were from before then?

Im afraid I dont know, Fang Chen replied with a bitter smile.

This matter had happened too long ago for him to have heard about it. It had only been twenty years since he had arrived in this world, after all.

Fang Zhixue pricked up her ears out of curiosity too. Even Victorious Buddha and the other faes looked at Fang Zhentian expectantly.

Fang Zhentian smiled. My grandfather told me that our Fang Clan used to be a great immortal clan, but our lineage offended someone we shouldnt have and was evicted out of our clan, thus resulting in our current plight.

As I expected! Our master is of an extraordinary background!

Victorious Buddha and the others exchanged looks.

Fang Zhixue was in disbelief. Grandfather, youre saying that our ancestors are cultivators?

Only my grandfather is; the others who came after him are mortals. My grandfather told me that when he was evicted from the great immortal clan, he had to make a vow to not pass down his cultivation method to his offspring, thus ending the legacy for our lineage.

Can this matter be verified? Fang Chen asked.

Theres no way to verify it. Fang Zhentian shook his head. He looked at Fang Chen and said, My grandfather hoped that our Fang Clan could return to its roots one day. That is his wish, as well as those who come before him. I heard that when he was evicted, the clan made a promise to take him back if one of his descendants finds a way to embark on the path of immortality.

Grandfather, you wish for me to look for our ancestral clan and return to it? Fang Chen asked.

Fang Zhentian nodded. If this matter is true, youll receive better resources if you return to the clan. Itll help you in your path to immortality.

My grandfather said that there were some people who were opposed to his eviction from the clan, particularly his siblings. If they are still around, they should be of aid to you. Im sure they share the same wish as my grandfather. Theyll be heartened to see my grandfathers descendants rejoining their ranks.

Fang Chen was put in a spot. He would probably be in a better position if he headed to the Central Continent Country and joined the Three Thousand Dao Gate after reaching Foundation Establishment, but he could tell that Fang Zhentian had a fixation on this matter.

Since its my great-great grandfathers wish, Ill fulfill it on his behalf if an opportunity arises. Its just that the world is huge, so Im not sure where I can start searching, Fang Chen replied.

This jade seal was passed down for generations in our Fang Clan. I thought that it was a normal jade pendant, but now that Im looking at it, its probably a clue for our return. Im getting old and dont wish to travel around anymore, so Ill entrust it to you instead.

Fang Zhentian took out an old jade seal and handed it to Fang Chen.

Fang Chen looked at the jade seal in astonishment. He channeled his spirit ki into it, and an ancient map emerged in his head. It really is a map?!

This meant that their ancestors were truly from a cultivator clan!

If you cant find a way to treat this child, returning to our ancestral clan is an option too. Fang Zhentian eyed Liu Mu.
