"In my memory, my mother's appearance is blurred, and her voice is already so unfamiliar."

Chen Xiaodao said slowly: "You may know what kind of person she is, but I, as a son, don't know that much. ”

Chen Zhensheng frowned and looked at his son.

Chen Xiaodao raised his head, looked at him and said: "So, I can't have absolute trust in her like you, my path is my own way, and at this crucial moment today, I will only make decisions according to my own heart." ”

Chen Zhensheng showed a trace of bitterness on his face and said, "You will regret it." ”

Chen Xiaodao shook his head and said, "There is no regret medicine in this world, so I won't do anything I regret." Let's talk about the relationship between the Dugu family and the upper realm. ”

Chen Zhensheng nodded, as if caught in a memory, and said after a while: "I only learned this secret after I met and fell in love with your mother.

The Dugu family has always been in contact with the upper realm, and even, the Dugu family can prosper forever, as well as those ancient families and sects can prosper forever, in addition to their own efforts, there is more or less the shadow of the upper realm behind them. ”

"The power and financial resources of this world are in the hands of those big families and magnates, and behind those big families and magnates are the shadows of the upper realm, so this world, to put it bluntly, is controlled by the upper realm.

Now we people want to provoke the authority of the upper realm, and even because of the development of the world, the upper realm has indeed been greatly impacted and feels threatened, so they will definitely enter the world. ”

"Perhaps, since the beginning, they knew that there would be a day when they would join the WTO, so for many years, they have maintained a certain connection with the various forces in this world, providing great benefits to these family sects, connecting them into one and tying them to the same boat."

"Your mother's Dugu family is one of them." Chen Zhensheng said.

Chen Xiaodao nodded: "I have already guessed." ”

"Your mother has shown a strong talent and cultivation talent since she was a child, so the Upper Realm will not allow this fine breed to fall into the secular world, so they took a fancy to her and asked her to go to the Upper Realm to cultivate and marry a super family in the Upper Realm." Chen Zhensheng said.

Chen Xiaodao suddenly realized, looked at Chen Zhensheng and said: "Because of this, you and your mother couldn't last long, in order to completely get rid of the entanglement of the upper realm, in order to protect you and me, she chose to fake her death and escape?" ”

Chen Zhensheng nodded and said, "You are only half right. ”

Chen Xiaodao listened attentively.

Chen Zhensheng said: "Lao Tzu was not a vegetarian back then. I fought with many masters from the upper realm, but then I couldn't bear it, I was seriously injured, and I lost my cultivation. After that, your mother felt the crisis and knew that if she stayed with us, she would hurt me and you, so she made that choice. ”

Chen Xiaodao nodded, expressing understanding, and then suddenly asked, "How did you and your mother's cultivation come about?" ”

Chen Zhensheng was stunned.

"Even if you are gifted, you can't be self-taught. Of course, there are always self-taught fierce people in this world, but such fierce people have long been extinct, so I'm curious where you learned your skills. Chen Xiaodao stared at Chen Zhensheng and asked.

After Chen Zhensheng was stunned for a short time, a helpless bitter expression appeared on his face, and he said, "Your kid is really curious." ”

"No way, I always feel that people of your generation have always hidden some secrets in their hearts that they don't want to tell, and they are not honest enough to me." Chen Xiaodao said.

Chen Zhensheng smiled bitterly and said, "That's it, this is not a secret. What is the purpose of those of us who are competing with those in the upper realm, isn't it just to wrest more control of the mundane world from them? If the forces in the upper realm are called the old faction, then we are the new forces. Throughout the ages, the rise of any new force is not accidental, but the outbreak of some declining old schools after years of silence. ”

"My master is your master. Your master, Li Yunqi, is actually my senior brother. Chen Zhensheng said.

Chen Xiaodao's face changed drastically when he heard this.

He hadn't seen his master Li Yunqi for several years.

They even thought that the master and his old man were dead.

However, as the upper realm surfaced, and as Chen Xiaodao learned more and more about this world, he found that it was impossible for a person like his master to die so easily.

Even, he also found that a person like his master was definitely much stronger than what he had shown in front of him before.

That set of Taoist cultivation exercises, I only practiced for so many years before I felt that the mystery was endless, the more I went on, the more brave and domineering, the teacher Li Yunqi was over ninety years old, and after practicing for so many years, how could his strength be weak?

It's just that since the teacher has such a terrifying cultivation realm, why hasn't it been fully revealed?

And, where has he gone and why has he disappeared in the past few years?

At this moment, hearing his father's explanation, Chen Xiaodao suddenly realized, looked at Chen Zhensheng and said, "My master is an old man, and he is also in the upper realm?" ”

Chen Zhensheng nodded.

Chen Xiaodao gasped, and his mood became extremely complicated.

After going around for so long, I hate the upper realm very much, and I can't imagine that in the end, my master is in the upper realm, my father's master is also in the upper realm, and my own mother has already gone to the upper realm.

What the hell is this called?

It turns out that in the end, in the final analysis, it is not that he is fighting with the upper realm, but that the upper realm is fighting within.

After a long time, Chen Xiaodao's emotions calmed down, looked at Chen Zhensheng and said, "Don't tell me, Lu Xingzhou is also in the upper realm." ”

Chen Zhensheng's eyes flashed with deep reverence and admiration when he heard this, and he shook his head and said: "No, he is a wonderful, but also a rare monster freak for thousands of years, although he was born in an ancient martial arts family, but he is a declining and unpopular family, his growth and rise are completely his own talent." ”

Chen Xiaodao felt a little better.

At the same time, he thought about his own situation.

Although he became strong only after cultivating Li Yunqi's set of Daomen mental methods, and only then did he give birth to powerful true qi in his body, he did not rely on all Daomen exercises, and the special situation of his body belonged to him.

He didn't know why he had such a desire to separate himself from what Li Yunqi had taught him, but after thinking about it like this, he felt a lot better.

"My master, or your senior brother, is their purpose to cultivate masters in the lower realm, and then after the upper realm enters the world, they will compete with those hostile forces in the upper realm?" Chen Xiaodao suddenly asked a sharp topic.

Chen Zhensheng nodded without hesitation: "Their initial intention should be like this. But what's the difference for us? Whatever the reason, we're going to fight those enemies. ”

"One is persecuted, the other is voluntary."

Chen Xiaodao said, got up and walked outside, opened the door and looked back at his father, and said in a firm tone: "I'll go my own way." ”

Seeing his son close the door and his last words echoing in his ears, Chen Zhensheng smiled bitterly.

"In this environment, no one can stay out of it, and if you want to go your own way, how can it be so easy and simple?"
