Chapter 8: The Ancestor's Hollow Strength

I don't understand... but I'm shocked. Chen Ping keep repeating the sentence for a long time.

Chen Ping looked at this crazy scene, and his face became dazed full of questions. He thinks their life as a cultivator is so tragic.

They can drink crude tea and simple meals like a starving ghost.

Chen Ping looked at Murong Xue madly eating the rice in her bowls, she already eat three bowls of rice. He was worried about her health problems, and so he said. "Miss, you should at least pay attention to your image!"

After a while, they have already finished eating and the plate was completely wiped clean. As well the rice in a wooden bucket was emptied out by them.

They were grateful to Senior for giving them hospitality. "Thank you for the feast, Senior."

"Haha! Y–Your welcome!" Chen Ping was speechless when they licked the plates clean.

"Did they even lick up the plates?!"

After they finished eating the meal, they all broke through the highest realm

Zhang Qingxian and Murong Yunhai was originally at the Eighth Stage Immortality Realm, but after a meal, they broke through the Fifth Stage Divinity Realm.

Murong Gong who was at the Peak of Divinity Realm broke through the Second Stage of Soul-Splitting Realm.

And also Murong Xue was originally at the Peak of Core Formation Realm, after a meal she broke through the Fifth Stage of Immortality Realm.

Murong Gong cried from happiness that he finally broke through. He thought that the bottleneck at the Peak of Divinity Realm would accompany him for the rest of his life.

He can't believe a single meal allowed to breakthrough. It even sent him to the Second Stage of the Soul-Splitting Realm.

"Senior! I will never forget this chance and great favor you gave me!" Murong Gong kneel down and kowtow at Chen Ping with great respect, and was very thankful.

Chen Ping was stunned. "Old Gong, what are you doing?!"

"What chance? Are you a monk that cares a lot about karma?" Chen Ping give a frowned look at Murong Gong and was in deep thoughts.

He thought that chance is an opportunity, and cultivators take eating as an opportunity. It is the first time in their life to have eaten that kind of food.

Chen Ping reach out his hand to Murong Gong and said politely. "It was just a small favor!

Murong Gong rised from kneeling and couldn't help but ask. "Then if we have time in the future, can we come eat with you?!"

After hearing Murong Gong's words, Chen Ping was stunned, then his face was angry. He thrown them out the door and said angrily. "You should go focus on your cultivating!"

Bang!!!

The four of them was kicked outside the courtyard and they felt a little guilty.

"Dad, How could you say something like that? Are not you a little shameless?" Murong Yunhai said bitterly.

Smacked!!!

Murong Gong slapped Murong Yunhai's face and said anxiously. "You're the shameless one! How dare you talk to me like that!"

"Ahem— I couldn't help. I was just too excited and accidentally slipped." Murong Gong said.

"However, the Senior is so powerful. He wouldn't get angry over such a small matter." Murong Gong casually mentioned Senior.

While inside the courtyard, Chen Ping was so angry, that he didn't even get a chance to eat a single bite, and said furiously.

"I haven't even eaten a single bite of rice! And you still want to come every day? Are all of you demons?!"

Back to the Present

"Senior told us to go cultivating, that is to remind us that being too obsessed with leveling up will make our foundations unstable."

Murong Gong told them that being greedy can't help them stabilize the Foundation of Cultivation.

"Any skills we gain from that will just be hollow. Understand?!" He said that the strength they gained in that way will be in vain.

Murong Yunhai and Zhang Qingxian was actually laughing hard at Murong Gong. And this makes Murong Gong become really furious.

"I think the two of you need a beating!" Murong Gong said angrily.

Murong Xue nodded with sparkling eyes and said solemnly. "Yes! Grandfather, I understand!"

Murong Gong's granddaughter is the only one who actually understands his suffering and was touched.

"My granddaughter really is the best... to lie to." Murong Gong felt awkward on his granddaughter because of the way they broke through easily by eating.

Murong Gong looked at Zhang Qingxian and said seriously. "Qingxian, it's better if you only tell your father and your son about this. If too many people disturb him, it might make Senior angry. Understood?"

Zhang Qingxian nodded and replied. "I understand. I will take my leave and head back to the sect for now."

Then a sudden voice reached out to Zhang Qingxian's head and he was shocked when it heard its voice. "Qingxian! Be careful! Don't come back to the sect! Do not come back to the sect!"

"Father's voice!" Zhang Qingxian was worried and sweat covered his body.

"Your father? Could it be the 'Thousand Words Voice'?!" Murong Gong asked seriously.

Zhang Qingxian replied anxiously. "That's right. It's my sect's hidden communication technique for most urgent moments. If he's using that... it means the sect is facing destruction!"

Inside the Fantasy Moon Sect—

Zhang Shaofeng has been stuck in the Peak of Divinity Realm for a long time, and after years of cultivation, he just can't break through. Unlike Murong Gong, who was more eager to break through.

Because he has an enemy, who is also the peak of out of body. He had never told anyone about this enemy, including his best friend Murong Gong.

Zhang Shaofeng encountered this villain when he was traveling. He was passing by a mountain range when he happened to come across this man.

Until the day, it comes back to the Fantasy Moon Sect to get this villain's revenge, he brought destruction to the Fantasy Moon Sect, and Zhang Shaofeng was seriously injured.

Rumble!— Rumble—

A huge rumble suddenly exploded in the sky. The lightning strike at the villain's body, leaving him unscathed. The villain was laughing nonstop as he called out Zhang Shaofeng's name.

Hahahahahahaha! Boom!!!

"Zhang Shaofeng! I bet you never expected me to breakthrough into the First Stage of the Soul-Splitting Realm when you crippled my legs! I will bury your whole sect with you!" The villain said with a villainous smile.

"You tortured and killed the whole village. Everyone wants you dead. I just regret for not killing you back then!" Zhang Shaofeng said with his face was instantly pale and darkened.

Zhang Shaofeng the Fantasy Moon Sect Ancestor.

The villain asked seriously. "Oh? You're not afraid of dying?"

"So what if I die?! The Fantasy Moon Sect is blessed by heavens! Qingxian is not in the sect today, but he will definitely take revenge for me one day!" Zhang Shaofeng answered heroically.

"Dad, I'm back!" Zhang Qingxian wave at his father joyfully even in times of destruction.

But as soon as he heard his son's voice, his heroics act broke and he vomits blood.

"Why did you come back? For dinner? Didn't I tell you not to come back with my Thousand Words Voice?!" Zhang Shaofeng shouted at his son furiously.

He was angry because his comes back when he already informed that it's dangerous, and told to not come back for the time being. But Zhang Qingxian didn't listen instead, he returned.

"Something huge is happening. It would be wrong for me not to be here. Also, he's only at the First Stage of the Soul-Splitting Realm anyway!" Zhang Qingxian directly said.

Caw! Caw! Caw!

The two of them feel an awkward atmosphere. And they think he was an idiot for thinking the Soul-Splitting Realm as an easy feat to reached.

"What? Only?" Zhang Shaofeng was speechless and confused on where did his son get some courage to speak recklessly.

"Right? Zhang Shaofeng, I think your son is stupid. Does he think that Soul-Splitting Realm is something you can just reach by eating every day?" Villain asked.

"If you can call someone from the Soul-Splitting Realm over right now, I will call him father!" Villain said hastily.

Murong Gong appeared and lean in the villain's back and asked seriously. "Who are you talking about?"

"Ah! Who are you?!" The villain was surprised, and looks back then he asked fearfully.

This time, the villain's voice was still not finished, and a huge tremor sounded in the sky.

Murong Gong's face darkened and said. "If... If you call me father, it would be an insult to my precious granddaughter!"

He reached out his hand to the villain's face and was set on fire. A massive flame was floating on the air, burning the villain to death.

Boom!!!

Zhang Shaofeng looked at the massive flame and asked. "What... What was that?!"

"Ah, that." Zhang Qingxian responded soundly.

Murong Gong made an cool heroics appearance when he burned the villain to death, and turned into dust.

Zhang Qingxian answered solemnly. "That's Uncle Murong's hollow strength."
