“Grandpa, grandpa! My punches lack power!”
“Grandpa, grandpa, my kicks lack power!”
“Grandpa, my little brother wet the bed again!”
Seated at the base of the Tree of Life within his spirit world, Lin Feng observed his children and grandchildren, a warm smile gracing his features…
Mischievous little ones! He adored them immensely! He recalled the days when his own children used to have such accidents. Now, they had grown into adults, with children of their own.
Lin Feng had resided in his spirit world for fifty years, attaining the pinnacle of the Tian Dao layer. He hadn't encountered the counterfeit Tian Dao since. Perhaps the imposter never dared to reveal himself, or maybe he was already deceased.
It mattered little now; Lin Feng stood as the mightiest cultivator across the entire universe. While Lin Feng was aware of other Tian Dao cultivators, he felt no inclination to venture into the Extraterritorial Worlds where they dwelled.
These Extraterritorial Worlds existed in separate dimensions, making passage difficult and fraught with immense peril.
Lin Feng remained true to himself. He did not interfere with the internal matters of others, nor did he seek to influence the rulers of other realms.
His preference lay in cherishing moments with his family.
His gaze drifted towards a distant courtyard, where a dozen exquisite women were gathered. They watched Lin Hai and Yue Meng He, now appearing considerably advanced in years, finding joy in the antics of their great-grandchildren.
Lin Feng's eyes welled up. So many recollections surfaced. The esteemed elders… the comrades… the myriad battles… He had even faced death itself…
“Lin Feng, you trash! You are unworthy to be part of the Lin Clan!”
“Lin Feng, be gone! You bring shame upon our clan!”
Lin Feng's mind replayed the era when the Lin Clan scorned him…
“Little one, with me, Yan Di, by your side, no one can harm you! Haha!”
“Lin Feng, Godly Emperor Blood gave his life for you. Never forget his sacrifice!”
Lin Feng lost himself in contemplation.
“Little fellow disciple, our teacher awaits our aid!”
“Little fellow disciple, heed the words of your great fellow disciple, avoid unnecessary risks!”
Lin Feng envisioned his companions from Tiantai: Hou Qing Lin, Emperor Yu…
Tears streamed down Lin Feng’s face. Two millennia had elapsed, and countless events had transpired. His kin had remained steadfastly by his side; his friends too!
Lin Feng found it necessary to reflect on these moments; he would never forget!
“One truly feels solitude when they are the universe's strongest cultivator!”
He now grasped the profound meaning of those words. He had pondered them before, and now, he fully understood.
A sense of loneliness permeated him. Despite having a multitude of relatives, the Lin Clan’s prosperity, and the increasing perfection of his worlds, the feeling of isolation only intensified.
His journey in cultivation had reached its zenith; there were no further peaks to conquer!
“Many believe cultivation is limitless… I feel an profound loneliness,” Lin Feng sighed, a sense of helplessness weighing him down.
He rose to his feet. His grandchildren sensed his disquiet and refrained from disturbing him, continuing their play.
Lin Heng, Lin Sheng Jiong, and the others returned shortly, their expressions stunned upon seeing their father in such a state.
“Father, since you attained the status of a peerless martial god, you appear remarkably dispirited!” Lin Zhe Tian observed with a sigh, shaking his head. He had never witnessed his father exhibit such melancholy.
“Indeed, perhaps reaching the pinnacle of cultivation brings a unique form of solitude…” Lin Heng responded with a wry smile. His own cultivation had reached the Heavenly Godly Ancestor layer, but he had yet to attain the Tian Dao layer.
“You are all mistaken. He lacks a new objective. Knowing him, how could he endure life without a pursuit?” Lin Zu stated before departing.
Utter bewilderment filled the onlookers.
“Lin Zu, do you possess the strength of the middle Tian Dao layer?” Lin Zhe Tian’s countenance shifted dramatically, his eyes alight with excitement.
“Indeed, it happened just recently!” Lin Zu replied with a smile. Though far more unassuming than Lin Feng, his innate talent was comparable, if not superior.
“You truly resemble our father. Once you achieve the very apex of the Tian Dao layer, you ought to engage him in a grand battle! It would undoubtedly alleviate the monotony of our daily existence!” Lin Sheng Xie interjected eagerly.
“Precisely! Lin Zu, Father shall no longer feel this loneliness once you reach the pinnacle of the Tian Dao layer!” Lin Nian added joyfully.
Lin Zu’s expression remained somber. He shook his head, “You are all mistaken. Even at the same level, I cannot contend with Father!”
“Father governs the Great Dao of the entire universe. Should I ascend to the peak of the Tian Dao layer, I still would not command the Great Dao of the universe. It would be akin to a swordsman separated from his blade.
“Only if Father discovers a higher realm or aspiration might I be permitted to govern the universe’s Great Dao,” Lin Zu elucidated. Understanding dawned upon everyone present.
“I understand. I wonder if Father ever had any regrets? Perhaps we could help him fulfill what he always wanted to do but never had the time for!” Lin Sheng Miao said with a smile.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
“Mother mentioned that Father met a girl named Little Qing when he was young. I wonder where she is now?”
“There was also a girl called Xiao Ya!”
“Mom also said that Father felt extremely guilty back then because a princess died due to him. Her name was…”
“Meng Qing said Dad had a close friend, Jing Wu Hen, and that he’s currently in the Continent of the Gods!”
“Someone mentioned that Father fell in love with some women but didn’t dare to pursue it further!”
——
Lin Feng stood atop a snow-capped peak, a smile gracing his lips. This was the very place where he had first met Meng Qing.
A woman clad in a snow-white robe stood behind him. She silently approached and embraced him.
“Husband, your love is the most precious gift in the entire universe!” Meng Qing exclaimed joyfully. The feeling was just as it was the very first time she had hugged him!
Lin Feng turned and pulled her into his arms.
“Hehe, hurry up and look! Hubby and Sister Meng Qing are alone together. Should we go and snatch him back?” Huo Wu called out at that moment, her laughter laced with mischief.
“Of course, we must steal our husband back!”
