  "Ah~~~" Li Chengfeng let out a long sigh and downed a full cup of wine in one gulp. His expression somewhat melancholic, he said: "When I was young, my parents and grandfather opened a small shop, doing some small business. Every day after school, after dinner, Grandfather would tell me stories. He was very knowledgeable and seemed to know everything under the sun. At night, Mother would lull me to sleep. Every day was fulfilling and happy. My parents were kind-hearted and helped people in town, simple and good-natured. But that one day, everything changed. I came home from school and saw my parents' corpses... Grandfather protected me and we escaped, hiding in a hole in the ground. He separated the sword hilt and blade, leaving me to take care of the hilt. Grandfather lured the pursuers away by himself, and just like that, I lost my only remaining family member."

  Yang Tianwen didn't say a word, nor did he interrupt, he just quietly listened.

  "Why? Why did my parents and grandfather, who were so kind and simple, willing to help others, have to suffer such a tragic fate. From then on, I understood that good people don't get good rewards! I worked hard to practice martial arts, and after repeated investigations, I finally understood that it was because of the family's precious sword that it triggered the greed of those aristocratic families." Li Chengfeng's emotions became somewhat agitated.

  Yang Tian sighed in his heart, for a legend that was thousands of years ago, the immortal Yu Wang didn't care about killing an entire family and destroying a happy home, it's really... Ah~~~~~

  "Revenge! I want them to pay for their blood debt with their own blood! Among the nine major families of this generation, as many as seven are involved! Other smaller families are also numerous, and all three of the world's top masters have participated. If I can't wipe them out cleanly, how will I be able to face my parents and grandfather in the afterlife?" Li Chengfeng shouted loudly.

  Yang Tian asked, "So that's how it is. No wonder the person who did it was so ruthless and didn't leave a single survivor." It seems that they brought this upon themselves, and no one else can be blamed for it. "Didn't the Yu family intervene in what happened back then?" Yang Tian didn't want to ask, but he had to ask another question for the sake of Yu Lao Er.

  Li Chengfeng adjusted his emotions and smiled at Yang Tian, saying: "I'm glad that the Yu family didn't participate in harming my Li family. Although they also took action against the Longevity Sword, their methods were still relatively upright and honest. Among the nine major families, only the Yu and Wang families have some of the style and demeanor of a true aristocratic clan. Although they both had intentions to seize the Longevity Sword, I must admit that they did it in a very clever way."

  "Indeed..." Yang Tian nodded, thinking that the first time they met, the master of the Jade family knew that he had the Longevity Sword in his hand. At that time, he was not showing off at all, and from their perspective, he seemed like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered. If they had made a move then, they could have easily taken the Longevity Sword. However, Yu Hengshan surprisingly chose to give up on the sword and yield it to him. Perhaps some of this was due to Yu Qinghong's face, but more likely it was Yu Hengshan's cunning and decisiveness. Yang Tian wondered if he were in Yu Hengshan's shoes, he might have chosen a different method. He couldn't fully understand why Yu Hengshan made that choice. In fact, he was quite grateful - even if it wasn't because of Li Dage's reason, Yang Tian didn't want to be enemies with Li Chengfeng either. It wasn't about winning or losing, but because in his heart, Yang Tian considered Li Chengfeng a good friend.

  "Come on, let's have a drink... It won't be long now, I've already taken care of several families. In two years at most, I'll be able to wipe out the remaining ones!" Li Chengfeng said calmly.

  Yang Tianwen drank the cup and put it down, saying: "Is it worth it? You are also a cultivator, with blood on your hands, recklessly killing people will lead to thorough demonic possession." The demonic possession Yang Tianwen referred to was due to mental state reasons leading to going berserk, ultimately never being able to recover.

  "Descend into madness? Haha... For the sake of avenging my kin, it is a righteous deed, I, Li Chengfeng, will not regret it even if I descend into madness!!" Li Chengfeng maniacally laughed and said with a resolute face.

  Yang Tian didn't say anything more, Li Chengfeng's words were reasonable, if it were himself, he would probably make the same choice. Suddenly thinking of something, he asked: "Brother Li, do you know where all the cultivators in the world have gone? Why is it that I've searched all the famous mountains and rivers but haven't found any trace?"

  "Oh? How come Yang brother's cultivation method has never been recorded before?" Li Chengfeng said with some surprise.

  Yang Tian shook his head, isn't this nonsense? His own cultivation was based on the ancient Qi-refining technique of his hometown, where did it record so many things about the Purple Mystic Continent? The affairs of the Purple Mystic Continent's Cultivation Realm were still heard from Grandfather Luo Pan, and he didn't understand much, only having a certain understanding of the cultivation system, everything else was completely unknown.

  "Long ago, this place was completely isolated from the Xiu Zhen realm. Although this continent still has a relatively abundant spiritual energy, there is not even a single piece of spiritual stone, material or medicine that can be used for cultivation." Li Chengfeng shook his head and sighed.

  "Ah~~" Yang Tian asked in surprise, no wonder that over the years, not a single valuable collectible had been encountered. Ginseng of this kind had never been seen before for over a thousand years. It seemed that resources were being depleted, just like how oil on earth was becoming increasingly scarce, eventually it would be used up.

  "Because there is no spiritual material or medicine, ordinary people cultivate and it's really hard to succeed in building the foundation and entering the false dan period. My ancestors also accidentally relied on this Qingming sword to successfully build the foundation and create a foundation that will last for generations." Li Chengfeng told him truthfully.

  "So, isn't it that in this world, apart from you, no one has broken through to the False Dan stage?" Yang Tianwen asked aloud, naturally excluding himself. Because Yang Tianwen knew that his own cultivation method was completely different from here. On the contrary, there's no need to worry about being unable to make progress.

  "Not bad, the value of Changsheng Sword lies in this point! The three major hidden world families, their ancestors were all accidental remnants of the cultivation left by the cultivators who practiced the true method. Although it is a remnant, it also records the methods that can be cultivated to the condensation period. If there are various spiritual elixirs and spiritual stones to assist, I believe it is still possible to enter the condensation period. But just because they didn't have them, so few people have succeeded in building the foundation over the years, let alone entering the condensation period. As for whether there are successful cultivators who have entered the false Dan period in today's world, I'm not quite sure." Li Chengfeng nodded in response.
