Song Lin hurried toward the mountain.Since he had become crippled, everyone who had once treated him kindly slowly distanced themselves from him. Even at a critical moment like this, none of them offered help. It was as if the world itself was mocking the painful lives of Song Lin and Song Que. He pleaded to the sky above him and sobbed in prayer to the earth beneath his feet, hoping that a miracle would come to fulfill his son’s destiny and turn misfortune into fortune.Aaaaaargh!!!A loud scream could be heard by Song Lin, who had now reached the foot of the mountain. The mountain stood two hundred meters high. Although he still possessed Spiritual power, it was impossible for him to leap to such a height—especially since he had no legs to generate the force needed for a jump. It was a pity that he could not fly.The energy of Heaven and Earth in that place was indeed scarce, so not many people were able to cultivate.It must be known that cultivation in that world was divided into

"Song Lin, come out!"A shout rang out from the front of Song Lin’s residence, which stood quite far from the other houses. The residence had been given by Song Yang as a form of “reward” for his services, and it was placed at the edge of the village with the excuse that it could protect the village from criminals who might try to destroy it. But if one looked closely, there was no such intention at all. It was merely Song Yang’s scheme to push away those he considered useless to the village.Now hundreds of people stood in front of Song Lin’s residence. They had received instructions from the village Patriarch to demand the expulsion of Song Lin and his son. The reason given was that Song Que had been possessed by a demon, and everyone who heard and believed that claim now wanted to drive Song Que away—along with the useless Song Lin, of course.“If you don’t open the door right now, we’ll force our way in and destroy this little house of yours!” an angry voice shouted again. But it

A gentle breeze whistled, and the sound of morning animals echoed softly. Sunlight pierced through the leaves, making Song Que raise his palm. His eyes blinked.His stomach growled, a sign that he was hungry. Song Que wandered around to look for food. Not far from there he saw a deer. His eyes immediately lit up and he began stalking it to catch it. Song Que focused and leaped like a predator aiming for its prey.However, he heard the whistling of the wind from an arrow that seemed to be heading toward the deer from another direction.The arrow pierced the deer right in the neck at the same moment Song Que grabbed the deer’s leg.Song Que stood up and looked toward the direction the arrow had come from. He saw three people there walking toward him.“Boy, release that deer. That is our master’s prey!” one of the three said, emphasizing that he was a guard by mentioning his master.Song Que looked at the person standing in the middle, holding a bow while staring at him with disgust.“No

“Hahaha. You’re too cowardly, young man. I was only joking,” the old man said after laughing coldly. Then he asked, “Why are you following me?”“Because you were the only one I saw leaving your house, no one else. Besides, I don’t have a home either, and I used to live in the forest. So following you into the forest to hunt is also a good choice,” Song Que answered honestly. He indeed had a good impression of the old man, though he did not know why. Even though, judging from the frightening and fierce scar on his face, the man would normally be avoided by others.“This is the first time a young man isn’t afraid to get close to me. In Silent Village, not a single person dares to approach me. Do you want to know why?” He glanced down at Song Que, who was shorter and smaller than him. His gaze was extremely sharp with a grin that looked cruel.Song Que shrugged. Of course he didn’t know, and he was curious.“Because my face is ugly. This village has also been abandoned by many people, be

Song Que possessed sharp hearing after he officially became a cultivator. Combined with his mastery of the Eternal Scripture, he could hear the sounds of battle nearby. He immediately came out of the water with his clothes still wet and saw that an uneven fight was taking place. But because he did not know the full situation, he simply stayed silent behind a banana tree—observing, paying attention, and listening to what they were saying so that he might intervene if there was a chance.Of course, he could not be detected by anyone’s perception, because he had activated a breath-holding technique called the Sneaking Turtle Technique. Within that technique there were two movements. The first was the Sneaking Turtle Technique, and the second was the Steel Turtle. He had mastered both techniques over the past few months, and that was also his capital for leaving the hiding place where he had secluded himself during his training with the Eternal Scripture.The scripture was quite thick wit
