Chapter 262: Chapter 258: Discrepancy

The reason Ji Fu would feel embarrassed and make such a request was apparent. Even though he adamantly denied that Tang Luo might surpass Saint Han in the mastery of the Undying Battle Body, deep down he understood, that even if Tang Luo merely matched the achievements of Saint Han, reaching the second rank of the Undying Battle Body coupled with his astonishing speed of cultivation, the future of this martial artist was unfathomable.

As someone whose lifelong pursuit was the revitalization of the Han Family, if the treasures of the Han Family could pave the way for someone with the potential to beca Saint Lord, this deal was indeed not a loss!

If they could becrelative by marriage, it would be even more desirable. Ji Fu slightly regretted, thinking how wonderful it would’ve been if the three of them could have sworn brotherhood.

As for Xu Laoying, he enthusiastically echoed the potential close relationship between Tang Luo and Ji Fu.

It could be said that the two men’s understanding of Tang Luo was still quite superficial.

“Come, lettell you why I practice martial arts!” Tang Luo cleared his throat, looking at the two newly allied Saint sons.

“Oh?” Both Ji Fu and Xu Laoying glanced at each other, quite intrigued.

After all, the person before them was the youngest peak mortal in all history. Who wouldn’t be interested in his reasons for practicing martial arts?

The two Saint Lord sons prepared to listen attentively.

Tang Luo looked at them and smiled, speaking earnestly, “I started training in martial arts when I was four, practicing diligently for eleven years, all to seek freedom!”

“Freedom?” Xu Laoying was quite puzzled as he had always assumed that Tang Luo had studied martial arts to reach the pinnacle, looking down on all mountains.

If he was merely seeking freedom, wouldn’t it be a bit too far-fetched? In the current world, even a martial artist from the Fierce Realm could live a comfortable life, right?

“Not the freedom you’re thinking of!” Tang Luo chuckled, stating loudly, “The freedom I seek means that no one can forceinto something I don’t want to do.”

“The freedom I seek means being able to dispute the theories that I don’t agree with directly!”

“The freedom I seek means having the courage to refuse, no matter how powerful a person is!”

“If I agreed to the marriage, where would my freedom be!?”

Wasn’t his previous life so ordinary because he was young and frivolous, and did not strive and worked hard in his prime, living like he was in torment? It was only when he grew older that he realized that the struggle of his youth was not foolish, but the most valuable struggle.

So his unending diligent practice has never been because he loved martial arts, but because martial arts could lead him to freedom!

The stronger the power, the ample the choices; and the ample the choices, the fewer things you are powerless against.

If he could not seek freedom and leisure in this life, it would be a waste of good fortune. As for being a king or a ruler, which ultimately leads to loneliness, he prefers to leave it to others like Ji Fu and Xu Lao. What he seeks is to have no one else control his fate.

Where his gaze lands, he can stand against a country!

There was a glow in Tang Luo’s eyes so bright that it made people dare not look directly. Xu Laoying felt his determination and fell silent.

After glancing at him a few times, Ji Fu did not mention the matter of marriage alliance again. He casually said, “So, we’ve decided on the matter of the treasury. I will stay with your family in these days to teach the heir of the Tang family to practice the Undying Battle Body.”

“Excellent.” Tang Luo nodded with a smile.

“By the way, send a servant on my behalf to deliver a secret message to the Xiao family, telling them that my merchant fleet will be temporarily entrusted to Elder Xiao, while I stay here for a few days.”

“No problem.”

On the last day of February in the Longzhou Calendar 1780, Ji Fu, Xu Lao, and Tang Luo concluded their negotiations for the access to the Spirit Realm treasury.

This not only furnished the Tang family with the opportunity to bridge the thousand-year gap with the Holy Land, but also laid the foundation for Tang Luo to step forward on his path to enlightenment. The excited young man returned to his mansion, respectfully returning the inscribed tablets of several key members of the Tang family, then he dived into his room and took out the plan which no one else could understand.

Tang Luo opened a few pages and wrote: bianqiangjihua—————-

The light in the room didn’t extinguish all night, and there were more than one person who couldn’t sleep that night.

That night, who among the Xiao family, Tang family, Ji Fu or those Xiling clans who saw the glow over Jianglin Valley, could sleep?

The first day of March

The urgent call from the clan leader once again gathered the masters of all branches of the Tang family.

The so-called ‘heir of the Tang family’ refers to those martial artists who had already formed their own households and reached the peak of the Mortal Realm, and the youngsters in the first training ground of Martial Arts. As for the clan children at the academy and those young masters who had nothing to do at home, they were not even qualified to know this secret.

After all, Ji Fu didn’t want the information about the Undying Battle Body to be leaked because of a few unsuccessful aristocratic children. He knew that if the news of the Tang family leaked out, Tang Luo would certainly divert the attention of the An family by completely selling out the Ji Clan in Beimang.

Therefore, he abandoned the initial intention to let all members of the Tang Clan practice the Undying Battle Body. He was shocked when he found out that the Tang Clan actually had so many aristocratic children unwilling to learn.

“You just let them debase themselves willingly?” Ji Fu incredulously questioned Tang Luo.

Tang Luo looked at him in puzzlement: “Is there any use askingabout this? I don’t even have enough tfor my own martial arts practice, how would I have tto manage them?”

“Bring out the Boundary Breaking Stone!” said Ji Fu, disappointed.

“What for?”

“To find the Minor Spiritual Realm!”

“Didn’t you say you would wait until all the heirs of my Tang family have finished practicing the Undying Battle Body?” Tang Luo was curious about this sudden change.

“Humph!” Ji Fu snorted coldly, “Aside from you, Tang family doesn’t have anyone else who is promising, what’s the use of them?”

Originally, he thought that a powerful family would be able to cultivate such a stunning talent. But now that he looked at them, they were just a decayed aristocracy. The forty or so martial artists in the Fierce Realm may be considered a powerful force locally, but in Ji Fu’s eyes, they were insignificant.

Just looking at the composition of the Tang family, it was evident that a powerful clan controlling hundreds of thousands of people, only had a few hundred core members. Such a family, where the branches outweigh the main stem, would find it difficult to rise. So, he only wanted to quickly retrieve the treasury and bring back the news of the threat facing the Han family.

“I don’t like what you said!” Tang Luo was very angry at Ji Fu’s words: “My Tang family has at least two astounding martial artists, you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense!”

“Fine, two then.” Ji Fu said indifferently, “I hope that with the secret arts and foundation of the treasury, you could truly grow. Otherwise, a single attack from the An Clan will bring disaster, and you won’t even have the ability to escape.”

In his view, given the Tang Family’s current strength, a small team led by two peak Fierce Realm martial artists would be enough to defeat them. Except for a few strong individuals in the Tang family, the rest were of inferior ilk and weren’t worth mentioning.

Of course, Tang Luo wouldn’t explain to Ji Fu that only one third of the Tang family’s potential had been revealed, nor would he tell him how many ancestors of the Tang family who were in seclusion did not attend this heir’s meeting. After all, being able to get the treasury a bit early was a great thing: “Ji Gongzi does not need to worry about this! Since you are so anxious, why don’t we go to the secret warehouse to get the Boundary Breaking Stone..”
