Wu Xingwen has been very annoyed during this period. Although his injuries have improved, it is definitely hopeless to recover his strength along with the injury. Therefore, he wants to fully recover his strength. Come here, he must bow to one person and submit, otherwise, he will be like this in his life, and all his previous heroic words will become a joke. Of course Wu Xingwen would not give in. He just took a wrong step. Why did he lose everything all at once? Wu Xingwen, who did not want to lose, had no self-esteem or shame in the face of reality.
As the most outstanding disciple of the Wu family, Wu Xingwen's path to cultivation has been very smooth. It can be said that since he started cultivating, the light of everyone in the Wu family has been overshadowed by him. Perhaps because his path of cultivation was too easy, he had higher requirements for himself, so he raised his life goals to be on par with Lord Lingdi. He felt that if he was alive, If you don't do something big that convinces everyone, and you become an immortal just for the sake of becoming an immortal, your life in the spiritual world will become meaningless.
For most people, doing nothing is the true portrayal of life. However, the ideas of truly outstanding geniuses are often incompatible with the world. Wu Feicheng, the current patriarch of the Wu family, cannot understand his non-direct descendant. Wu Feicheng is of course considered a gifted and intelligent person, otherwise he would not have cultivated to the late stage of Mahayana. However, compared to Wu Xingwen, the gap in the process is relatively large. Apart from anything else, first of all, in terms of time for cultivation, The difference between the two is hundreds of years. Wu Xingwen's rise was so fast that Wu Feicheng's time in the Elders Council was much shorter than that of other clan leaders. However, Wu Feicheng also has his own purpose in resigning. For him, he does not have Wu Xingwen's ambition. All his starting point is two words: to become an immortal.
Back then, when Wu Feicheng was in the Presbyterian Church, Fang Yikong had been firmly occupying the position of chief. Therefore, Wu Feicheng actually did not have much say. Therefore, he felt that if he wanted to go further, he might as well focus on the family on the body. Therefore, he took the initiative to propose to Wu Xingwen, who had advanced to the middle stage of Mahayana, to let him take over the position of the Presbyterian Council, while he returned to the Wu family and began to retreat, and tried his best to attack the gate of Shengxian.

At that time, the head of the Wu family was not Wu Feicheng, and Wu Feicheng's strength had not reached the late Mahayana stage. After Wu Feicheng resigned, he followed the old patriarch to retreat and practice together. After Wu Feicheng came out of seclusion, Wu Feicheng successfully advanced to the late stage of Mahayana, but the old patriarch's vitality was seriously injured and he passed away not long after, leaving the identity of the patriarch in Wu Feicheng's hands.
The death of the old patriarch is indeed related to Wu Feicheng, but this is not big news for major families. The reason is that every major family has similar inheritance methods. To put it simply, when the clan leader feels that he has no hope of becoming an immortal, and when his lifespan is reduced, he will use his own skills to improve his strength by selecting the next clan leader. However, the situation back then was a little different. The old patriarch's lifespan was still limited. Normally, he could survive for at least several decades. I don’t know how Wu Feicheng persuaded the old patriarch, but no one in the Wu family raised any objections. The reason is that the old patriarch is Wu Feicheng’s father. Cultivators are also human beings and have family ties. Therefore, it is completely humane for an old father to choose to sacrifice himself for the sake of a better future for his children.
As the person involved, Wu Feicheng felt uneasy when he thought that his father had died decades earlier for him. In fact, only he knew that it was not he who persuaded his father, but his father who took the initiative to make this choice. Back then, when he was practicing in seclusion with his father, his father suddenly stopped one day. Wu Feicheng quickly asked his father what happened and why he didn't continue practicing. His father waved his hand and told Wu Feicheng to leave him alone, and just like that, several days passed. The father, who was thinking, let out a long sigh and said, "Fate is really unfair!"
Wu Feicheng was shocked and quickly asked his father why he had such an idea. The father shook his head and said: "Back then, our bloodline, your grandfather, relied on his own cultivation to reach the late Mahayana stage, so he finally succeeded in breaking the void and ascending to immortality. Unfortunately, in my generation, My abilities were limited, and it was only with the help of my previous clan leader that I was lucky enough to advance to the late Mahayana stage. However, I have not made any progress since then, and as the deadline is approaching, I have not achieved anything.
Half a clue about ascending to immortality. It can be seen how cruel fate is. If I had known this, why would I need to advance to the late stage with the help of others? It is better to give up the idea of becoming an immortal directly. At least I still have a chance to enjoy my life, instead of hundreds of years. Hard work, but in the end it was all in vain, nothing was gained. "
After Wu Feicheng heard his father's words, he couldn't help but panic. To be honest, he was self-aware of himself. He knew very well that with his own hard work, his hope of advancing to the later stage of Mahayana was almost zero. However, according to his father, if he was also with his father's help, even if he advanced to the late Mahayana stage, there would be no possibility of becoming an immortal in this life.
The long conversation that night made Wu Feicheng extremely disappointed. He suddenly felt that there was no hope in life. You must know that as a cultivator, from the beginning of cultivation, the goal of hard work is to become immortal. In this life, he had been working hard like this, but when he was about to cross the line, he was told that it was actually impossible to become immortal. Wu Feicheng felt that the truth was too cruel to him and he simply could not accept it.
Maybe his father saw Wu Feicheng's loss, so he made a bold decision, which meant that time waits for no man. He might as well not wait until he was about to die to improve Wu Feicheng's strength. Anyway, living for a few more decades would be meaningful. Not big either. Wu Feicheng was a filial son, so he immediately expressed his disagreement. He even felt that even if he advanced to the late Mahayana stage, he would just follow his father's old path.
So, my father said: "For me, there is no time to change, but for you, there is still a chance. I give you the remaining decades of my life in the hope that you can pass through many years." In the decades since you came out, you have to find a way to continue to improve yourself. As long as you work hard enough, my father thinks you will be able to break this fate."
In the end, Wu Feicheng accepted his father's proposal, and his father passed away like this. After Wu Feicheng advanced to the late Mahayana stage, he did not spend a lot of time on penance because he knew that penance was meaningless to him. , only by finding the right solution can you have the opportunity to improve yourself and then embark on your own path to immortality.
Wu Feicheng, who succeeded the head of the Wu family, focused his energy on improving the strength of the Wu family, because he knew very well that the stronger the Wu family was, the greater its help would be to him. Unexpectedly, less than ten years after Wu Feicheng became the patriarch, Wu Xingwen successfully advanced to the late Mahayana stage. At that time, Wu Feicheng felt very uncomfortable after knowing this, but he was still very happy because this meant that the Wu family's strength had been greatly improved. Two cultivators from the late Mahayana period appeared in one sect. Except for the Fang family, no other force could achieve this step.
Wu Feicheng happily took the initiative to run to the inspection headquarters, preparing to congratulate him and have a good exchange with Wu Xingwen. Unfortunately, this exchange caused a gap between the two people. It turned out that Wu Xingwen's thoughts had never put the Wu family first. As the saying goes, it was not his ambition. Therefore, when Wu Feicheng talked to Wu Xingwen about improving the strength of the Wu family, Wu Xingwen showed no interest at all. The two almost broke up on bad terms. Fortunately, Wu Xingwen still had a sense of proportion. He told Wu Feicheng that if things didn't take much effort, he would definitely do it.
In fact, Wu Feicheng later came to his senses. Although Wu Xingwen successfully advanced to the late Mahayana stage, his position in the Presbyterian Church did not improve at all. The reason was that there was a stronger person in the Presbyterian Church. As long as Fang Yikong returned. In the Presbyterian Church, Wu Xingwen was just a foil. To put it bluntly, Wu Xingwen couldn't actually help the Wu family much at that time, so Wu Feicheng simply abandoned Wu Xingwen and started taking action secretly.
Wu Xingwen was not ignorant of Wu Feicheng's methods. In fact, since he became the acting chief, he had turned a blind eye to Wu Feicheng's methods. As long as he didn't make any mistakes, he would let them go. . Wu Feicheng is also a smart person and is very cautious in doing things. Therefore, there have not been any major mistakes over the years.
In fact, Wu Xingwen looked down on people like Wu Feicheng from the bottom of his heart. He had no ability, so he could only rely on some dishonorable means to improve himself. If Wu Feicheng was not the patriarch of the Wu family, maybe Wu Xingwen would have gone to kill Wu Feicheng himself. He was arrested and brought to justice. Of course Wu Xingwen didn't pity Wu Feicheng and didn't take action because Wu Feicheng
Xingwen understood that he was from the Wu family after all. If Wu Feicheng was arrested, the reputation of the Wu family would be affected. Therefore, even if he killed his relatives out of justice, it would definitely backfire on him in the end. Wu Xingwen is not stupid. When a person reaches a critical moment, his family is still his support. For example, at this time, Wu Xingwen feels that his laissez-faire over the years should be rewarded.
On this day, Wu Feicheng unexpectedly received a message from Wu Xingwen. In this message, Wu Xingwen seemed very polite. The general meaning was: Mr. Patriarch, given that the current situation is very bad, I hope to come back and have some exchanges with Mr. Patriarch. , see if you can find a good way to bring order to the chaos.
If Wu Feicheng had asked Wu Xingwen to come back before, he might not have come back. But this time he actually offered to come back, and even lowered his position by half a square, which shows that he must have something to ask for when he comes back this time. Wu Feicheng thought for a long time and decided to agree and first listen to what this outstanding junior had to think. If it was really what he guessed, it might be a good thing.
When Wu Xingwen appeared in the Wu family's teleportation array, Wu Feicheng had been waiting for a long time. Although both of them are from the Wu family, the number of times they have met in recent years has been very limited. Wu Feicheng took a closer look and immediately made a discovery.
"Oh, my dear nephew, your injury is really serious. Is it the root of your injury?" Wu Feicheng pretended to be surprised, but in fact, he was already happy.
Wu Xingwen looked around and found that there was no one else here except Wu Feicheng, so he felt relieved and said directly to Wu Feicheng: "The patriarch has great eyesight. Indeed, I was seriously injured this time, so when I come back this time, I just hope that the patriarch can help me so that my strength can be restored."
Wu Feicheng had an unhappy expression on his face, thinking to himself, this guy doesn't want me to use my own skills to help you regain your strength. I'm sorry, how could I agree to this? My lifespan is still early, and besides, there is a great future waiting for me.
When Wu Xingwen saw Wu Feicheng's expression, he knew that he had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "I know that the family has been secretly arresting cultivators and using their Nascent Soul to refine elixirs that enhance strength, so , I come here this time, hoping to get these elixirs, I think, with my ability, these elixirs will definitely help me regain my strength."
