This was also Fang Chen's biggest question. If Lin Luowei had contacted the Blood Demon Ancestor,
then Lin Luowei should know who Xiao Yunting's father was, and wouldn't need to ask him.
Because in the original novel, the Blood Demon Ancestor had taken a liking to Lin Luowei's status and intentionally spread this news.
Lin Luowei's status wasn't low. As a disciple of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land's Holy Master, her position in the Holy Land was second only to Fang Chen.
Moreover, she had the backing of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land. If something happened, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land wouldn't stand idly by.
It was just that the Blood Demon Ancestor hadn't expected that Lin Luowei didn't rely on the Cloud Heaven Holy Land at all.
Besides her own unwillingness, there was another reason: the Holy Master of Cloud Heaven Holy Land was not often in the Holy Land, a true recluse.
Even his disciples rarely got to see him.
"Who exactly is it?"
"Is it the Heavenly God Machine?"
"Or someone else…"
Fang Chen couldn't figure out who it was that made Lin Luowei come and ask him.
In the original novel, Fang Chen knew the identity of Xiao Yunting's father at this time.
Also for Lin Luowei, Fang Chen had been investigating the whereabouts of Xiao Yunting's father.
If there's a chance, I must ask Lin Luowei clearly.
Fang Chen thought to himself.
This question had always bothered him, making him eager to understand.
"Blood Demon Ancestor!"
Lin Luowei returned to her residence, muttering to herself.
Although she didn't learn who Xiao Yunting's father was this time, she now had a direction for her investigation.
As long as she found the Blood Demon Ancestor, she would definitely learn who Xiao Yunting's father was from him.
Once she knew the identity of her enemy, she would have a chance to take revenge.
"But finding this Blood Demon Ancestor won't be easy."
Lin Luowei couldn't help but frown.
The Blood Demon Ancestor was notoriously difficult to deal with, a master of concealing his aura.
He was still alive and well despite being hunted by numerous major powers, which showed how formidable he was.
Moreover, the Blood Demon Ancestor was a Saint Realm expert.
And not just any Saint Realm expert; the fact that he could escape from the hands of many Saint Realm experts demonstrated his capabilities.
"But there's no other choice; we have to start with the Blood Demon Ancestor."
Lin Luowei's gaze became resolute.
Although she didn't know who her enemy was, she now had a lead.
As long as she found the Blood Demon Ancestor, she would likely discover the identity of her enemy.
After that day, Lin Luowei didn't go to Holy Spirit Peak again, which allowed Fang Chen to enjoy a life of leisure.
As time passed, the annual Holy Land Grand Competition of Cloud Heaven Holy Land arrived.
Both outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples could participate in this Holy Land Grand Competition.
If they shone brightly and stood out in this competition, they would likely be selected by the inner sect, thereby changing their lives.
During this time, the disciples, who had been honing their skills for a year, were eager to shine in the Holy Land Grand Competition and make a name for themselves.
Because the Holy Land Grand Competition was approaching, the Holy Land also became lively.
Disciples returned to the Holy Land from all over to prepare for this Holy Land Grand Competition.
Every day, countless disciples returned. Among these disciples, a dusty, cold-faced disciple stopped in front of the mountain gate, gazing at the immortal stone tablet, and muttered to himself: "I'm back. This time, I will definitely make a name for myself and become a core disciple of the Holy Land!"
"Thus, to compete with Fang Chen and contend for the Saint Son position!"
After several months of training, Xiao Yunting encountered several crises but also received great opportunities.
During these months, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, ascending at an unimaginable speed. Perhaps the setbacks in the early stages were too significant, leading Xiao Yunting to resolve to desperately improve his strength, thereby allowing his cultivation to advance rapidly.
Now, he had reached the fifth stage, the God Origin Realm!
He leapt from the third stage directly to the fifth stage, improving by two major realms.
Such speed was unimaginable for Xiao Yunting.
His rapid progress wasn't solely due to Xiao Yunting's exceptional talent, but rather the numerous opportunities he obtained.
As a Son of Destiny, being favored by the heavens and possessing such opportunities was not unexpected.
"Master, if I make a name for myself during the Holy Land Grand Competition, do you think I should tell the elders of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land that I want to challenge Fang Chen for the Saint Son position? Do you think those elders would agree?"
Xiao Yunting asked.
Old Man Ming's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
This is a disaster. This guy's personality hasn't changed at all; he felt so weary.
"Don't. Absolutely don't do that right now. You still have a huge gap between you and the Saint Son of Cloud Heaven Holy Land. It's not wise to do that now."
"Even if you want to, wait until the gap between you two is smaller."
The fifth stage, God Origin Realm, challenging the seventh stage, Enlightenment Realm, ninth heaven.
Isn't that just asking for trouble?
"Even if you want to die, don't drag me into it."
"Disciple, your current strength is indeed inferior to Fang Chen's. For now, you should avoid him."
"When you become strong enough, then make a name for yourself and defeat Fang Chen!"
"Although I wasn't familiar with the Cloud Heaven Holy Land before, such a major power values strength and talent above all else."
"If you can surpass Fang Chen in these two aspects, you will be more than capable of replacing him and becoming the Saint Son of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land."
"Throughout the long years, there have been countless examples of Saint Sons being replaced. There's no need to rush."
Old Man Ming was earnestly persuading him.
He was truly afraid that Xiao Yunting, overconfident, would announce in front of everyone that he was challenging Fang Chen to take his place as the Saint Son.
If he did that, it would be a purely brainless action. Even if Fang Chen didn't do anything to him, he would become the laughingstock of the entire Holy Land.
He knew this disciple very well. Xiao Yunting was a self-important person; how could he possibly endure such mockery from others?
He could imagine that if Xiao Yunting did that, he would definitely antagonize many disciples of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, which was not a good thing.
To replace Fang Chen, defeating Fang Chen was a must, but he also needed to establish his authority.
If he had a bad reputation in the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, and no high-level figures stood up to help him, even if he defeated Fang Chen, he would not be able to replace the Saint Son's position; instead, he would be ostracized.
As someone who had been through it all, Old Man Ming naturally understood the ways of the world.
"Teacher, I understand."
Xiao Yunting couldn't help but sigh, his face filled with helplessness.
Hearing the unwillingness in Xiao Yunting's voice made Old Man Ming even more speechless.
You understand shit!
It always goes in one ear and out the other.
He knew his disciple's nature, didn't he?
He always said the right things, but he couldn't help but take action every time.
"I hope you really know."
Old Man Ming sighed.
Ever since he took on this disciple, he had to be both a father and a mother, and he felt very tired.
It also made him understand the difficulties of being a parent, especially when dealing with a very rebellious descendant, which made things even harder.
