Family Cultivation: I Become a Mirror-Chapter 237 - 219 Chi Wei, The Man (Two In One)_2

"Thank you for your understanding, Senior!"

Li Tongya responded, pausing for a moment before suddenly recalling something and asking,

"I've heard from Donghe that the main peak of the noble clan is called Xianyou Peak, and there is a river there, called the Yue River... Is this true?"

"Indeed,"

Xiao Yuansi nodded, lifting his head with some puzzlement, only to see Li Tongya continue,

"Senior, are you familiar with Xiao Xianyou?"

The expression on Xiao Yuansi's face grew solemn as he raised his hand and the courtyard door shut tightly. Dharma Light circulated on it, isolating the inside from the outside before he spoke,

"Brother Tongya, where did you hear this name? Xiao Xianyou is indeed one of our lineage, the sibling of our venerable ancestor!"

Li Tongya paused before explaining,

"Tongya once obtained a sword that contained a secret technique, which, when driven by River True Essence, granted one a movement technique called 'River Rapids Step,' created by Ancestor Xianyou..."

"Is this true?"

Xiao Yuansi was instantly overjoyed. Li Tongya took out the Dharma Sword, whose mark of Ling Yu Sect had turned into an ordinary engraving. Xiao Yuansi took it and looked, then shook his head in disappointment,

"It's just a standard Dharma Sword with nothing remarkable within."

Li Tongya nodded, flipping his hand to produce a Jade Slip, whispering,

"Since it belongs to an ancestor of the noble families, I shall return it to the Senior."

"This..."

Even as movement techniques were precious, Li Tongya offered it forthrightly, causing Xiao Yuansi, who was hesitant, to pause in surprise. He wanted to refuse but found it difficult to voice his objection. 'River Rapids Step' was not just any ordinary third-grade technique for the Xiao Family, prompting Xiao Yuansi to sigh softly and reply,

"Brother Tongya's magnanimity is great, yet I do not know what to offer in return. Is there anything your family currently needs?"

The evening wind blew through the mountains, wandering through the forests of Green Pond Peak, until it reached the face of Chi Wei atop the summit. His white hair fluttered in the wind, his eyes crinkled with wrinkles as he touched his face. Though Chi Wei could have shown a younger appearance, having lived for several hundred years, concerns of beauty and ugliness were gone, so he let them be.

Few scattered figures already stood amidst the clouds; Chi Wei's reputation didn't match Duanmu Kui's, attracting only some Zifu Monks from the nations of Yue, Wu, and Xu San, all watching him from Cloud Peak.

Chi Zhiyun stood behind, his face filled with sorrow and reluctance, watching Chi Wei's moon-white robe fluttering in the wind. Chi Zhiyun whispered,

"Ancestor, the matters within the sect have been settled cleanly..."

Chi Wei seemed not to hear, standing atop the peak facing the evening wind, recalling memories with a smile,

"Zhiyun, how do you view this man Chi Wei."

Perplexed, Chi Zhiyun bowed respectfully and replied,

"Ancestor, you are the mainstay of the Green Pond Sect, with overwhelming strength that pressed an era, a scholar who has comprehended the heavens and earth, with profound thoughts like an abyss and a remarkable demeanor..."

Chi Wei laughed heartily, waving his hand and shaking his head,

"What pressure of an era, I'm not even close to Duanmu Kui or Li Xianqun—just a laughingstock. Scholars comprehending the heavens? That's utterly absurd. I'm not as good as that old flood dragon, let alone Xiao Xianyou and Tang Yuanwu."

He paused, his expression tinged with reminiscence, his gaze sharp, and laughed,

"As for thoughts like an abyss, that's nothing compared to Xiao Chuting."

"Xiao Chuting?!"

Chi Zhiyun searched his mind several times before recalling the name, momentarily stunned, he murmured,

"Xiao Chuting... Xiao of Lixia."

Being no fool, Chi Zhiyun suddenly lifted his head and exclaimed,

"Xiao Chuting has broken through to Zifu level?!"

"Hmm..."

Chi Wei responded with a smile, nodding toward a certain spot in the clouds. Chi Zhiyun still found it hard to believe as he murmured,

"How is that possible! How is that possible! Where did he get the Zifu Cultivation Method, Divine Skills, and the audacity!"

"The audacity..."

Chi Wei laughed deeply,

"Don't consider the Green Pond Sect as some Upper Sect, where all beings are mere chess pieces for the taking. The world is full of geniuses like fish crossing a river, clamoring to climb higher, and as for our Green Pond Sect's status in this..."

Chi Wei paused, then sighed,

"It's like sitting on a hot pot, roasting on a charcoal fire!"

Seeing that Chi Zhiyun couldn't utter a word, Chi Wei continued:

"You youngsters grew up hearing my name, thinking I'm a hero who dominated an era..."

"Isn't that so?!"

Chi Zhiyun, indignant, said in a deep voice:

"Breaking Demon Calamity, exorcising devils, sweeping the Southern Border, eradicating evil spirits, my ancestor saved no less than a million people. Even if sacrificing hundreds of thousands for cultivation, what of it? These people never consider, if not for our protection, where would they be..."

"Eh!"

Chi Wei sneered, cutting him off, and shaking his head:

"I, Chi Wei, am a villain. Starting when I was seventeen, stealing from Li Xianqun's pouch, to now, at the age of three hundred and seventy-seven, my life fading, consuming Human Pills, it has all been the acts of a villain, disgraceful to behold."

"I leveraged Li Xianqun's power, allied with various sects to lay siege, seizing the opportunity to wipe out two houses, destroy the Ling Yu Sect and Xiao Xianyou, harvesting Noble Families year by year, refining and consuming the essence of the disciples fed by the moon. All the Zifu Monks saw it with their own eyes."

With a smile, Chi Wei looked up and shouted towards the dark night sky:

"All of you in the heavens above, are you hearing me clearly? Am I not a villain?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Zifu Monks in the sky exchanged glances, their expressions varied: some sighed softly, some sneered contemptuously, some huffed coldly, and after a while, a clear and cold female voice said:

"If you're not a villain, then who else could be considered one!"

"You!"

Chi Zhiyun's expression turned frustrated, but he dared not speak out against the individual of higher Zifu Cultivation. Chi Wei, on the other hand, was all smiles, nodding. The morning sun had already risen. Chi Wei stood motionless, just standing quietly as all the Zifu Monks watched him. Each of these Zifu Monks had lived for at least a hundred years; they weren't in a hurry, at least not as much as Chi Wei was.

The slow-rising sun brought the pure qi up and the impure qi down. The essence of the sun and the moon mingled, creating an opportune moment for a breakthrough. Colored lights of Divine Skill rose from Chi Wei's body, and his expression was very calm.

As the essence of the sun and the moon within heaven and earth gradually reached its peak, Chi Wei's Spiritual Sense moved, and a dim light flew out from Shengyang Mansion, his life Divine Skill "As Heavy as Filth" stirring.

Chi Wei stepped forward, and the heaven and earth in his eyes cleared. In the clouds, two vague figures appeared. Chi Wei laughed out loud, saying:

"The two of you have come to collect my corpse!"

The two leading figures, accustomed to various breakthrough scenes of Zifu Monks, weren't annoyed by his jest. One of them laughed shrilly:

"Chi Wei, oh Chi Wei, at last, your day has come!"

Chi Wei waved indifferently, his face growing younger and more handsome, but his eyes bore a hint of sinister coldness. Four more Divine Skills flew out from within him, stirring the Spiritual Energy of nature, dancing around him.

The five Divine Skills merged into one brilliant light in the sky, taking turns dancing, transforming into a five-hued glow, each hue distinct: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, mingling and rising in the air. A person from the upper ranks muttered softly:

"It is the Five Elements Seeking Gold Method."

Chi Wei flicked his finger, and an Elixir appeared in his hand. Instantly, rosy light scattered in every direction and fragrances wafted around, emitting a dazzling display. The onlookers all craned their necks in curiosity, raising questions.

"Oh?"

Those two vague figures also took notice, one of them asking in a shrill voice:

"Which pill is that?"

The other person squinted for a closer look and said softly:

"Judging by its appearance, it must be 'Lake Moon Autumn'."

"Exactly."

Having heard this, the person who spoke first took a glance at Chi Wei's other Immortal Foundation techniques and laughed:

"That is indeed one way to do it!"

As the Elixir fell into Chi Wei's mouth, he waited a few moments, but only a faint reaction followed. His heart was suddenly filled with horror, his face cycling through emotions, the first show of shock and anger on his face as he shouted:

"Ou Jiao! How dare you deceive me with a Fake Pill!"

However, the five-hued glow stimulated by the Divine Skill didn't wait for him, still burning away, already faintly condensing a bright point of light. The two vague figures above sneered in unison:

"Chi Wei! You too have been deceived by others!"

All the Zifu Monks widened their eyes in astonishment at the Spirit Light, while Chi Wei quickly adjusted his mindset, closed his eyes and sighed, then pushed his palm forward. The essence of the sun and moon surged forth, heading straight for the Spirit Light.

Above the Spirit Light, five colored lights slowly emerged, bright and floating. They briefly dropped down, making the Spirit Light grow even brighter, though the colored glow vanished without a trace shortly after.

"Indeed, not as good as Duanmu Kui..."

The people in the sky communicated with each other through their Spiritual Sense. Meanwhile, the two vague figures had already prepared their spells, waiting for the Metal Nature to burst forth.
