The crowd was taken aback again when Remus mentioned having things sorted out with the heavenly thunder. Their gazes toward Remus was as if they were gazing at a deity and not a mere human.
Everyone was eager to uncover his identity. Not only did favonovel.com make the heavenly thunder tremble, but favonovel.com also seemed to be giving orders to it. It was beyond their wildest imaginations.
“Would this be too much trouble for you?” Husan asked on behalf of everyone.
Remus smiled wryly and shook his head. “Don’t worry, this is just a small matter. Now that you mentioned it, that fellow cultivator earlier, along with all of you, including today’s extraordinary heavenly thunder, are somehow connected to me. This is the least I can do. Let’s begin! I’ll take a seat at the mountaintop first!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com silently walked toward the mountaintop, his silhouette appeared exceptionally desolate. Despite his silence, a storm surged within, stirring profound unease in the depths of his soul.
His heart crumbled when favonovel.com learnt that his father was facing 3000 years of thunder punishment within the Lightning Pillar, while his mother had to brave 3000 years of isolation in the Nine Abyss, yet favonovel.com found himself powerless to change anything.
As the crowd watched his receding figure, it seemed as though they too sensed his desolation, all falling into a silent, wordless empathy.
It was only when Remus faded from view that the 11 cultivators slowly moved toward the valley, taking their seats on the ground.
At the moment they settled down, the heavenly thunder arrived as expected, comparatively gentle compared to before.
The Heavenly Thunder descended gently, as if afraid of causing them harm. Each cultivator faced three bolts of heavenly thunder, shattering their Golden Cores and beginning their advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage.
***
Ahead on the mountaintop stood a cliff.
Remus sat perched upon the cliff, silently gazing out over the tumultuous expanse of the sea.
He couldn’t stop the memories of his parents’ faces and the scene of their meeting from flooding his mind. Tears welled up in his eyes again.
His mother, solely for him, condensed favonovel.com Golden Core and then had favonovel.com ingest it entirely, enabling favonovel.com to overcome life’s trials, awaken his celestial pathways, and secure his survival.
Her exquisite visage aged in an instant, favonovel.com once youthful complexion weathered and pallid, favonovel.com hair turning as white as freshly fallen snow.
To protect him, his father endured the agony of a thousand cuts and relentless torture, ultimately choosing to bow his unyielding spirit by willingly surrendering on that day.
That must have been an immense humiliation for him…
Remus murmured, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault…”
In the days of studying with Master Tyson up in the mountains, he’d sneak down frequently to watch other children with their parents, silently faulting his own for not raising him. Only now did favonovel.com understand the immense sacrifices they made for him, all hidden from his sight.
The footsteps of a single person suddenly echoed behind him.
Remus instantly blinked away the tears in his eyes, feigning a gaze as if admiring the scenery.
The footsteps finally came to a halt, and a silhouette settled beside him. The person spoke slowly, “Though I’m not familiar with you, from the silhouette of your back just now, I seem to have picked up something…”
That person was none other than Husan.
Remus glanced at him, feeling a bit uneasy. He was sitting too close, and two men sitting in such a way felt uncomfortable!
He subtly shifted to the side and asked, “What is it?”
Husan spoke bluntly, “An ordinary person who had to journey alone, with no one to ask for help from. Every step of your life is filled with blood and tears. Your heart seethes with hatred, decisive in action… But the one thing I can’t figure out is why does the heavenly thunder fear you?”
Remus almost chuckled at his words, admitting they were quite accurate.
He retorted, “Are you filled with hatred? Do you act decisively and ruthlessly?”
Remus thought that Husan’s willingness to freely open the Ironpeak Island indicated kindness. A kind-hearted person had nothing to do with harboring deep hatred or being decisive and ruthless. He’d soften when others pleaded for mercy.
How could favonovel.com be ruthless?
Husan paused, sounding a bit dejected. “I used to think this way, but when my parents left, they told me that if you view the world with malice, everyone appears malicious…”
