Chapter 134 The entire clan stakes their lives on a pilgrimage before the gods!
night.
Dead silence.
A dozen or so all-black cars, like a group of steel behemoths lurking in the darkness, glided silently along the winding mountain road.
There was no roar of an engine, no screech of tires.
The convoy's advance carried an eerie and solemn air that defied the laws of physics.
License plates are taboo symbols that ordinary people can never see in their entire lives.
Inside the extended limousine in the very center.
The heating was on full blast, yet Fang Tianwen, the head of the Fang family, had beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
He sat upright, his body stiff, like a stone sculpture.
On his lap lay an antique jade box.
He repeatedly stroked the smooth surface of the jade box with his fingertips, an action he repeated hundreds of times, barely managing to suppress the trembling deep within his soul.
He had his eyes closed.
But the image remained vividly clear in his mind, burning intensely in his soul.
The young man lying in the rocking chair.
That terrifying will that tore his soul apart simply because he was being spied on!
That seemingly casual wave of his hand was as if he had easily wiped away his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, like wiping away dust!
Every time he recalls it, his heart feels as if it's being squeezed by an invisible hand, almost stopping.
That stems from a life instinct, a fear of existence in a higher dimension.
But what followed the fear was a frenzied fervor that made his blood boil!
god!
That is definitely a living god walking among humans!
His granddaughter, Qingxue, became this god's maid!
What an incredible, heaven-defying destiny!
The ultimate goal of the Fang family, who had been lying low for a thousand years and had been searching for the way of martial arts in vain, was to glimpse the elusive "Heavenly Dao".
Now, the Way of Heaven is right before our eyes!
He staked the entire Fang family's past, present, and future.
The family's most precious treasure, "Nine Heavens Breath Soil," has been passed down for eight hundred years.
The treasury contains treasures from several eras.
He brought everything out with him.
This is not a visit.
It was not an apology.
This is a pilgrimage... a reverent offering of the entire family's fate to the feet of that deity!
"Big brother...do we really have to go this far?"
The Second Elder, Fang Tianxing, broke the suffocating silence in the car with his chapped lips and hoarse voice.
His face was filled with struggle and fear.
What happened in the council chamber that afternoon completely shattered his worldview of nearly a century.
Reason is screaming at the absurdity.
However, the patriarch's battered and broken soul, and Miss Sun Fang Qingxue's genuine "land immortal" realm, made him have no choice but to believe it.
"Are you still doubting?" Fang Tianwen asked without opening his eyes, his voice calm yet carrying a chilling undertone.
"I'm not doubting..." Fang Tianxing shook his head bitterly, "I just feel... it's too unreal. My Fang family has stood for a thousand years, looking down upon the world, when have we ever... when have we ever been so humble?"
"Humble?"
Fang Tianwen suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze was like lightning, piercing through the dimness inside the car.
"Before a true dragon, what dignity does a serpent that prides itself on being extraordinary have?"
"To have the opportunity to offer our humble loyalty to the gods is an honor we have earned by exhausting a thousand years of good fortune!"
"We may appear glamorous, but in reality, we're already exhausted! Our limit is pure Yang Qi; in the last hundred years, has anyone even advanced further? Clinging to those laughable traditions and rules, we're nothing more than sitting idly in a well, waiting to die!"
"Now, Qingxue has opened a ray of light for us, a glimmer of hope for a new world! If we don't seize this opportunity and cling to our decaying pride, the Fang family will truly face utter ruin!"
Every word Fang Tianwen uttered seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a bloody, resolute tone.
Fang Tianxing fell completely silent.
He knew that his older brother was right.
If you don't move forward, you fall behind. The Fang family has been stagnant for far too long.
"Then...the children in the car behind..." Fang Tianxing looked out of the car, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
Behind the convoy sat three of the most outstanding direct descendants, whom the clan had just carefully selected.
In terms of appearance, talent, and character, she is an excellent choice.
As ordered by the head of the family, they were to serve as Qingxue's "helpers" and as "part" of the family's sincerity, offering a "gift" to that being.
"They are the future of the Fang family." A hint of reluctance flashed in Fang Tianwen's eyes, but it was instantly replaced by an even stronger determination.
"To catch the eye of that senior, even if it's just to stay in the courtyard as a sweeping maid, would be an incredible stroke of luck that would transform one's life."
"This is a million times better than them staying in the clan, following the established path, and ultimately exhausting their lifespan before reaching the Qi Refining Realm!"
"If our Fang family wants to rise to the top in one fell swoop, we must have the courage to offer everything!"
Fang Tianxing stopped talking.
Looking at the elder brother who had been with him for a hundred years, he suddenly felt utterly unfamiliar with him.
He knew that from the moment his elder brother made the decision, the Fang family, this ancient ship with a history of thousands of years, had embarked on an unpredictable course.
Alternatively, they could rise against the wind and ascend as a whole clan.
Either it hits a reef and sinks, vanishing into nothingness.
……
In the car behind.
Three girls, around seventeen or eighteen years old, sat side by side, the air thick with confusion and unease.
They were the pride of the Fang family, figures admired by their peers.
This afternoon, their fate was completely changed by a single order.
"Sister Yubing, what kind of important person are we going to serve?" The youngest, Fang Lingshan, tugged at the hem of her clothes and asked the aloof girl next to her in a low voice.
Fang Yubing, the eldest of the three and with the highest cultivation level, shook her head, her usually calm face now filled with confusion.
"I don't know. But the existence of that person who could make the patriarch and all the elders bring out the family's most precious treasure... is probably beyond our even imagination."
"I overheard the Third Elder say that Sister Qingxue is right next to that important person," another gentle young woman, Fang Ruoxi, said softly. "Moreover, Sister Qingxue... seems to have reached a level that we can no longer comprehend."
"She broke through?" Fang Lingshan's eyes widened instantly. "Sister Qingxue was already at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, and she broke through again... what is that?"
Fang Yubing and Fang Ruoxi exchanged a glance, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes.
They couldn't imagine what that level of understanding was like.
But they knew that all of this stemmed from that mysterious "big shot".
In an instant, the three girls felt a mix of emotions.
There is a fear of the unknown.
There is a sense of bewilderment about the predetermined fate.
But more than anything, there was a trembling... anticipation that even they themselves couldn't articulate.
What kind of being are they going to meet?
Where will their fate lead them?
The convoy traveled through the night.
Ahead, the capital city is ablaze with lights, like a sea of stars.
But for the Fang family members in the car, that wasn't a bustling metropolis.
That is the sacred domain under the throne of the gods.
And they are on a pilgrimage route leading to the throne of God.
