Chapter 1: The Yang Family's Trash

  P.S: Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!! Thanks for the rewards from 'Su Jian De Jiang Da' and 'Zhuan Chi Zhu Sun', thank you!!

  "It was your mother who personally gave you the Ling Grass back then, completely crippling your foundation. I didn't think that today you would still embark on this path." Yang You let out a deep sigh.

  "What? You're telling me that my mother had me take the Ling Grass? That's impossible! Why would she do such a thing to me?" Yang Wei's emotions were stirred up upon hearing this. She was her own mother, how could she possibly abolish her own qualifications and prevent herself from cultivating? Why did she do it? What purpose or benefit could there be in doing so?

  "Don't get agitated, listen to me slowly." Yang You had long expected him to react this way, after all, who wouldn't find it hard to accept when they heard that their own mother had personally ruined their potential?

  "Alright, you said so, I won't get excited." Yang Lei calmed down, previously excited, was influenced by that Yang Lei's some influence, after all, still had his memory.

  "You were born with a clear and empty body, and your innate talent and bones reached twelve stars."

  Yang Lei couldn't help but take a deep breath as he heard this, considering that from the moment he was born, he was a genius among geniuses, with a twelve-star Void Body. What did that mean? Entering the Divine Realm was only a matter of time. On the Chongwu Continent, there had been another twelve-star Void Body before, and he stood at the pinnacle of the entire continent, recognized as the strongest.

  "With my qualifications being so good, why did Mother want to abandon me?" Qualifications that can grow into the pinnacle of the mainland, there is no reason to be abandoned. "And even if Mother wants to abandon me, as a father, why didn't you stop her?"

  Yang You couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm not your biological father at all. When your mother was pregnant with you, she met me and promised me a condition that I had no reason to agree to, asking me to help her... no, it should be helping you."

  "Help me? Are you helping me by making me a useless person, letting others bully and beat me?" Yang Lei smiled wryly, thinking of those days when he was bullied. But what Yang You said next made Yang Lei's eyes widen in shock - that he wasn't actually his son. This result was completely unexpected.

  "At first, your mother made up her mind to abolish your qualifications with great determination." Yang You said, "Think about it, which parent doesn't want to see their son succeed and stand at the peak?"

  Yang Lei couldn't deny this and nodded his head.

  She just wants you to live a good life and stay out of trouble.

  "What kind of person is my mother? What deal did you make with her?" Yang Lei asked directly after some thought.

  "I'm not clear about your mother's background either, I only know she's not from the Chongwu Continent." Yang You shook his head and said.

  Yang Lei was taken aback: "Not from the Chongwu Continent, could there be other continents?"

  "What's so surprising about this? The Chongwu Continent is just a part of this planet. The entire planet is divided into four continents, and the Chongwu Continent is just the smallest one." Yang You explained to Yang Lei.

  "Divided into four pieces, the Zhongwu Continent is still the smallest. Then... what kind of planet is this? What are the other three continents?" Yang Lei asked.

  This world is getting more and more interesting, I originally thought that the Chongwu Continent referred to this entire planet, but unexpectedly, it's just a tiny part of it. It seems that this world is far from being as simple as I imagined, much more complex than my previous guesses.

  "This planet is called Xuan Yuan Star, divided into four continents. The smallest one is Chong Wu Continent, and the largest one is Wu Ji Continent. The other two continents are Ming Wu Continent and Chong De Continent. These two continents are not much different in size, but they are still much larger than our Chong Wu Continent."

  "As for your mother, I guess she should be from the Wuji Continent. The Wuji Continent has countless strong people, and Martial Saints are as common as cow hair. In my Chongwu Continent, one Martial Saint can be said to have reached the peak, but over there, Martial Saints are too numerous, and even Martial Gods are very weak."

  "Xuanyuan Star, this planet is actually called Xuanyuan Star, and the cultivation method he practices is called Xuanyuan Secret, is there any connection between these two? Did I come to this planet by chance?" Yang Lei wondered in his heart.

  "What else are you referring to?" Yang Lei asked, looking at Yang You.

  "She doesn't want you to learn martial arts, she hopes you can live a peaceful and ordinary life, and spend the rest of your life in safety." Yang You replied.

  "Being an ordinary person, having abandoned one's roots and foundation, becoming a useless waste known to all, can one still be an ordinary person?" Yang Lei sighed bitterly in his heart. If it were someone with a slightly weaker mental endurance, they would probably have committed suicide already.

  "What happened to my mother after all? Is she really dead? And what was the deal with her that you mentioned?" Yang Lei continued to ask.

  "Your mother's situation, I'm not clear about either, but it's true that she didn't die and left the Chongwu continent." Yang You paused for a moment, "I originally planned to conceal all of this, but unexpectedly you actually cultivated to the Wu Wang Da Yuan Man realm, seized first place in the family trial, and will definitely participate in the Feng Yun selection. With your qualifications, you'll certainly be favored by the Xuanji Gate, so all of this is fate. That's why I called you here to tell you these things."

  "As for the transaction between me and your mother, it's no harm telling you. Your mother was pregnant with you at that time and was being hunted down. I coincidentally met her, helped her out, took her in, and made her my nominal concubine, giving birth to you. In return, she gave me a cultivation method that allowed my cultivation to break through my own limits, reaching the realm I am in today."

  "Martial God Realm?"

  "Not bad, I've been in seclusion for a year and finally broke through the bottleneck of the Martial Saint's Great Perfection to enter the realm of the Martial God." Yang You said with some pride.

  "Ah, the realm of the Martial God." Yang Lei sighed, wondering how much longer it would take for him to reach the unknown realm of the Martial God.

  "You don't have to envy him, with your talent, entering the Martial God Realm is only a matter of time." Yang You said.

  "I hope so." Yang Lei looked at Yang You and asked, "Where is the Wuji Continent? How can we get there?"

  Yang You looked at Yang Lei very seriously and said, "Your current cultivation going to the Wujie mainland is just looking for death. Moreover, you can't even pass through. If you really want to go to the Wujie mainland, I suggest that you wait until you break through the Martial God realm before going. Without the Martial God realm, you will not be able to stand on your own over there."

  "Don't worry, I know this. Before I have enough strength, I won't take the risk." Yang Lei wouldn't be foolish, and since he said so, whether or not he was lying, his own mother's background definitely wasn't that simple, and her enemies weren't that simple either. If he didn't have enough strength and his identity was discovered, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  "Now that you're able to cultivate and your martial arts have reached the level of a Martial King, there are some things that should be given to you." Yang You stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and gently twisted it. The sound of "za za za" echoed out, and behind it, a secret room appeared.

  "Come in."

  Yang Lei followed him after hearing this.

  Inside the secret room, there were many things, everything was available, weapons, armor, talismans, elixirs, spiritual herbs, kung fu techniques, and so on. It was simply a small treasure trove. These things made Yang Wei's eyes widen with envy, indeed worthy of being the King of Martial Arts.

  After going in, Yang You took out a box and handed it to Yang Lei.

  "This was left to you by your mother, perhaps she had anticipated that there would be such a day," said Yang You. "This box can't be opened with your current cultivation, only when you enter the Wu Sheng will you truly obtain the information inside. This storage ring is also left by your mother, just recognize it with a drop of blood."

  Yang Lei took over the two things, the box was small, but it was not light. What surprised Yang Lei was why didn't he put the box directly into the storage ring? He was puzzled, but he didn't ask much.

  Yang You smiled and said: "The things here, if you like them just take them, just don't take everything from me."

  For Yang You, if his cultivation has already broken through to the Wu Sheng Da Yuan Man and entered the Wu Shen realm, these are all external objects, he doesn't need them himself, of course they can still be used by others. His son Yang Tian is not making enough effort, not living up to expectations, but Yang Yue is doing alright, very hardworking, with good innate talent, having already entered the Wu Wang realm.

  "Never mind." Yang Lei shook his head and said, "In the path of cultivation, relying solely on external objects is not beneficial. Those who can reach the peak and become a top-notch strongman are all due to their own efforts, rather than relying on external objects to enhance themselves."

  "Not many people can see through this point, you're not bad. I also only figured it out when I broke through the Martial Saint's Great Perfection. Dan medicine and the like are ultimately external objects, which are extremely unfavorable for future cultivation advancement. If you want to break through the Martial God and enter a higher level, you must lay a good foundation. I probably won't have the chance in this lifetime, so I hope you and Xiaoyue can enter a higher level." Yang You sighed.

  "If you don't need these things, then let's go."

  Yang Lei nodded and turned around, walking out of the secret room.

  "I also know something about you and Tian Er. I hope you can let it go for my sake." Yang You said, turning his head after exiting the secret room.

  "Don't worry, I won't hold it against you." Yang Tian was now nothing but a joke to Yang Wei, not even worthy of being considered an opponent.

  "That's good, after all you are also brothers, yet you still don't want to call me father?"

  Dad? Yang Lei shook his head, still unable to call out.

  "If you don't want to, then forget it. Just remember that the Weiwu Wangfu will always be your home. If something happens, come find me and I'll help if I can." Yang You was clear that after this time, Yang Lei would definitely move out of the Weiwu Wangfu. The Yang family was too small to accommodate such a giant's existence.

  The golden unicorn is not a creature of the pond; when it encounters wind and clouds, it transforms into a dragon.

  Watching Yang Lei's receding back, Yang You couldn't help but sigh. Is this kid's rise a blessing or a curse? A person with an empty and clear physique, the speed of his cultivation is terrifying, Yang You had already experienced it before, but he didn't expect that Yang Lei was just a waste who hadn't even successfully cultivated Qi Refining a year ago, yet in just one short year, he achieved such accomplishments, becoming a cultivator of Wu Wang's Great Perfection, and soon to be entering the Wu Huang realm, this is simply unprecedented.

  "What did your father say to you?" Yang Yue had been waiting outside all along.

  Yang Lei shook his head: "Nothing."

  "Isn't it to clear your name, rather than Auntie's?" Yang Yue was somewhat surprised.

  Yang Lei shook his head: "It's not these things."

  "How can Father be like this? I'll go and have a clear talk with him, let him give you the right." Yang Yue heard that she was going to find Yang You.

  Yang Lei hastily shook his head and said: "No need, no need, this has nothing to do with him."

  When Yang Yue said this, Yang Month was very surprised. If it were in the past, he would not have stopped himself, but now he held back. What did Father say to him that made Yang Yue like this? Yang Month became more and more curious, wanting to know what Father and Yang Yue had said between them.

  "Are you afraid of Father's punishment?" Yang Yue said, "If Father wants to punish you, isn't there still Grandfather? You can just find Grandfather."

  Yang Lei smiled: "It's okay, Second Sister, don't worry."

  "You're acting like this, it's strange. How can I not worry? What did Father say to you?" Yang Yue asked.

  "This has nothing to do with you, it's between him and me. You don't have to worry about how he'll treat me either. Second sister, just rest assured, I'm fine." Yang Lei said with a smile.
