Sited on his bed, Feng Li was really downcast with sadness due to the fact that even he who had lived two lives could not understand what was wrong with him. The moment he took control of this body, he had double checked and found that a few meridians were broken which he had painstakingly mended them using is powerful soul.
'There is no way a person could have broken the connection between my meridians and the dantian so perfectly, as that would require so much strength and a high-level divine spiritist at that.
The connection between the dantian and the meridians is very crucial to a cultivator. Severing this connection is the same as cutting off the wind pipe connecting the lungs which will mean no air supply to a mortal being. For one to lack this connection and still be alive could on be explained with two possibilities.
The first possibility would be that the person was born with these broken meridians, and the second possibility would be that the victim was attacked by a high-level divine spiritist of at least the third or second rank. To Feng Li, the former could be possible than the latter since there was no such existence in this small town or the Guan province that had such a level of strength. Also, why would such an existence attack an insignificant ant like him?
Feng Li was very vexed at this moment while not knowing what could be done to evade this tragedy that has befallen him. In his first life, he was a powerful existence who could move oceans and shutter mountains at just a rise of his finger. But alas, in his second life, he was born in a world where cultivation was just fictional.
When he arrived in this world he knew that the heavens had given him a new beginning but now his beginning has yet to flourish but now it's crumbling into pieces.
While Feng Li was still in his low self, his door suddenly opened and Feng Li was astounded to see his parents walk in and took a sit while looking at Feng Li nervously. Feng Li stood there looking at his parents for a very long time before a smile blossomed on his face as he said," I know that I have failed you two as a child. How bitter is it to know that the child you were proud of is nothing but trash."
A bitter smile was still evident on his face while looking at the silent Feng Tian.
Hearing Feng Li talk in such a lonely tone, Fu Lin could not hold her tears as she walked towards Feng Li and embraced him tightly while tears kept on falling relentlessly without any restriction.
"Who told you that you are trash? It doesn't matter, mother will always love you even if the whole world shies away from you." Fu Lin looked deeply into Feng Li and said calmly.
Hearing her mother still talking to him in such an affectionate manner, a warm feeling invaded Feng Li as a fine drop of tears fall from his eyes as he still kept his gaze firmly on his father awaiting to hear what he was about to say.
"Feng'er, I think it's about time we told you the truth concerning you." Feng Tian said this unwillingly while looking affectionately at Feng Li.
"What truth about me, I don't understand at all." Feng Li replied with a confused tone.
"Five years ago, your mother and I made a vow to that person that after five years, we would tell you the truth concerning your origin. And now that the time has come, your mother and I have been so unwilling to tell you about this." Feng Tian said this as he looked outside through the window.
"Mother, I can't understand…. five years…. a vow to 'that person' about me. What is going on?" Feng Li was even more confused as his father continued to talk.
"You have probably heard that five years ago your mother and I were in the wasteland forest of death, right?"
"Yes, Father, I heard about that. I heard that I was born there, and you returned with me to the family." Feng Li calmly replied.
"Well the that is just a part of the story about what happened during that time in the forest." He sighed and continued. "When your mother came to find me in the forest, I was being chased by a very strong demon beast. The two of us fought together but could not defeat that beast. At the moment when we thought that we were about to die, suddenly the beast was turned into dust in front of our eyes, as a very frightening aura that of a very strong existence pressed against us. That aura belonged to a man who appeared in front of us. He was very strong; I doubt if there is anyone that strong on this planet.
The man looked deeply into my eyes and a voice like thunder came out from his mouth as he asked for my name. after hearing my name, he suddenly raised his hand and a two months old baby appeared on his hands as he handed him to me. He told me that your name was Feng Li. He made us vow that if anything were to happen to you then he would not hesitate to annihilate my nine clans.
After that he disappeared in thin air not telling us anything but he left us with a box telling us that only you can open it and see what was inside it.
From that day, none of us said anything about that incident to anyone and took you as a parent would to their child."
After Feng Tian was done explaining he looked deeply at Feng Tian and asked "Do you still see us as your parents?"
"What are you saying father you are my Feng LI's father now and forever." Saying this Feng Li had a resolute smile on his face. 'no wonder my body constitution is too different I wonder what my background really is.'
"I will always be your father. Now that I have told you this, I feel like a large stone has been lifted from my shoulders." Feng Tian said with a smile on his face.
After he was done saying this, he went out and came back with a wooden box which had characters written on it. 'FENG'
Looking at this wooden box Feng Li could feel that his blood was faintly resonating with the box as a warm feeling was slowly running through his body. Feng Li walked and took the box, and placed it on his bed.
After Feng Li received the box, both Fu Lin and his father left the room and went out to their courtyard, as it was already evening. Feng Li did not hurry to open the wooden box. He calmly stood at his window while still trying to think about what his father had said about him. What Feng Li found strange about all this was that he could feel like this whole issue was directly his, and not just the previous Feng Li. What Feng Li did not know was that in all his lifetime time it had always been him and not integration with others.
He was very confused about this as he was not supposed to feel anything about the contradictory birth of this world's Feng Li. At this moment, he came to a sudden realisation that all the bodies he had in his previous lives were identical with the same name. Could it be a coincidence?
After organising his mind together, he walked and stood next to the wooden box. He stretched his hand so as to open the box but when his hands came into contact with the box…
BOOM!!
A large boom was heard from inside his body as the ten divine beasts that had been sleeping around his dantian suddenly came into being and drilled into the box. This process continued for several breaths before a breaking sound was heard and the box opened. After the box opened, the ten divine beasts danced around Feng Li happily before returning and disappearing inside his body.
After a moment of surprise, Feng Li looked into the wooden box and found that four items were lying inside the box. One of the items was a round pagoda that was emitting an ancient aura, next to it was bottle containing a drop of blood that was also emitting a very frightening aura. The next two items were books that were neatly placed together.
Feng Li took one of the book on its cover a word was inscribed on it, 'MANUAL' flipping its pages to his amazement, the book had only four pages. On the first page was an image which resembled the small pagoda that was inside the wooden box. The name given to the pagoda was 'nine-floor heavenly pagoda.' There was not even a slight description to what is really was.
Feng Li opened the next page and saw an image of another item that was also in the wooden box. It was the bottle with the drop of blood in it. The name was precisely 'heavenly immortal Shen Xi's blood'. Feng Li was surprised at this, as he had heard about the legend of heavenly immortals. These were existences that had existed in the beginning of time and had the strength to create and destroy; they were holy existences. These immortals had fallen due to unknown reasons. Down below the page, a line of words was written, 'This is the genuine blood of immortal Shen Xi. Taking in this drop of blood will grant you the body of an immortal and all the special abilities involved. Hearing this, Feng Li was excited.
Then Feng Li flipped the third page and saw the image of the book in the wooden box. Nothing was written about this book. Feng Li then opened the last page he saw the image of a man. The man appeared to be forty to fifty years old. He was very handsome, wearing a blue robe. What surprised Feng Li the most was that he looked very similar to the man in the image. Feng Li cast his gaze at the bottom of the page, where a character emitting a very scary aura was neatly written, 'Feng Wudao.'
Feng Li was really taken aback. Could he be his birth father? Still it could be possible since there were so much similarities between them. 'if he is my father then why did he have to give me away so willingly.' Feng Li was so confused but still he knew that things might not be as simple as he thought.
The Feng Li took the book that was remaining and opened it. On it first page was a very domineering character that pierced into Feng Li mind of consciousness. The third item on the seven supreme treasures 'heavenly physique scripture.'
