22 The Truth

"Three months from now, we will leave this small village and go to the capital. There, we will meet all types of expert. Your growth here is considerably fair but it is still not enough to conquer the tournament. Your life is too comfortable here."

Qi Meng lectured them like a hermit would and he seems like one in their eyes right now.

All of them almost bit their tongue after hearing those last few words.

In this village, it can be said that they almost never sleep and poured all of their time in cultivating arduously everyday. They were considered to be the busiest group or individuals within the village.

This somehow made them all fired up.

"Wow, is this an adventure? It is my first time leaving the village." Chu Yuexia excitedly replied.

"Yes, a dangerous and deadly one!" Qi Meng said with a smug.

All of them are looking forward to it.

One has to know that the life in the capital is far from being too simple compared to their daily leisure life in this small village.

The so-called capital is literally the main capital of the Middle Continent also known as the Sovereign Capital.

Out there, many prominent clans and sects are residing within. The main reason is because the Sovereign, the ruler of the Middle Continent, together with his entire family and sect lives there.

Each and everyone of them wants to be in close proximity with the Sovereign for many various reasons.

Some wanted to gain power within the continent, while others is seeking asylum under the protection of the capital.

Most of the time, some of the clans and sects would fight over a territory.

Due to the scarcity of land within the capital, aside from those under the territory of the Sovereign, the Sovereign's family, sovereign army and sect, the clans and sects would fight over each other's territory.

Constant battles would occur when a challenge has been issued to the clan or sect whom they wanted to take over their territory.

On this reasoning alone, only the strongest and most prominent ones are able to keep and safe guard their territory.

"All five of you must solidify your foundations and achieve a break through as much as possible within the next three months otherwise you all will become a punching bag for others to bully and target."

Due to the upcoming Middle Continent Junior Elite Ranking Tournament which is happening in a years time, several clans and rouge cultivators are already roaming around the capital.

Now they understood that Qi Meng is knowledgeable at such a very young age.

This is to expected as the clan's prime descendant, they thought. What they did not know is that this little monster has already lived for millions of years.

"Starting today, all of you will have to follow me. If you got any objections with me bossing around, you are free to challenge my authority as the boss. However, you must consider the consequences as I will not be lenient this time around. Unless you want to die, then go ahead, nobody is stopping you." Qi Meng sternly said with authority.

Nobody dared to refute the little monster's words.

"Alright, today I will hand out two special techniques and you will need this in order for you to defend yourselves while outside the clan."

Two purple scrolls flew out from Qi Meng's inter-spatial ring and landed to Chu Yuexia.

"Ambush Entrapment Array Formation!"

"Savage Beast Attack Formation!"

Chu Yuexia read aloud.

"Once all of you have mastered both of these techniques, there will be not much of a problem wondering outside the village. You only three months to accomplish this. Dismiss!"

"One last thing, no one is allowed to disturb me within these three months."

Qi Meng strictly ordered and went inside his little abode to cultivate.

During the next three months, all six of them cultivated arduously.

Qi Meng's cultivation base is now at the late stage of the Dao King realm while the five juniors just broke through a week ago one after another with Chu Yuexia in the lead before the three months were up.

Their cultivation base are now at the early stage of the Dao King realm.

While Qi Meng just turned 4 years old after 3 months, Chu Yuexia is now almost 6 1/2 years old while the other four just turned 12 years old.

One more year and the most awaited tournament by all is going to take place.

Qi Meng just went out of his little courtyard when the five juniors have completed mastering the two battle techniques.

It is time for them to leave their training camp.

They seemed to be lonely and reluctant leaving this place as it has formed some attachments to the juniors. They have been here everyday for almost four years. One can say that all of them except for Chu Yuexia and Qi Meng had become adolescent here.

Qi Meng waved his hand and suddenly the illusion array protecting the training camp suddenly disappeared.

"Alright, go back and prepare for our long trip to the Sovereign Capital tomorrow morning. The next time we may be able to come back here is still unknown. So get whatever you need from here for more than a year being outside of the village."

Qi Meng then flew towards the direction of the sect master's courtyard.

Yes, as Dao Kings, Qi Meng and the five juniors are already capable of aerial flight techniques.

"Father, mother, I'm home." Qi Meng excitedly went in their courtyard.

Bang!

At the Living room, Qi Meng suddenly dropped on his knees and kowtowed as his forehead touched the ground three times. Two streaks can be seen on his soft cheeks and tear drops made the ground visibly wet .

"Please punish Meng'er for being unfilial!"

Qi Meng softly spoke as he cried while his head is still touching the ground as two stream of tears keeps flowing and dripped to the ground.

This is not the first time Qi Meng had kowtowed to both of them as they had thought him about filial piety when he was younger. This time, they became a bit emotional especially Qi Zi.

Qi Yu felt touched as well, although he has seen his son at the training camp everyday, he does not want to disturb him too much and had spent a short time with him everyday.

Qi Zi immediately lifted and helped her son to stand up and hugged him tightly as her tears uncontrollably dripped down.

Qi Meng hugged his mother tightly back feeling guilty to what he had done to them all this time.

He had been keeping a secret to his parents unto this day and he wanted to confess everything to them as he will be far away for a long time starting tomorrow to train.

He does not want this feeling of guilt to affect his training.

After a while, Qi Yu also came closer and patted Qi Meng's head gently.

Qi Yu and Qi Zi is now seating at the sofa while Qi Meng still have his knees on the ground facing his parents.

"Father, mother, please allow me to leave the clan for a while as I have decided to train outside the village. I have planned to go to the Sovereign Capital and depart tomorrow early morning. The five juniors will come with me as well,"

Qi Yu and Qi Zi did not know how to respond. They are now worried as staying at the capital is not the same as staying in their peaceful village. Before they can open their mouth to speak, Qi Menf already continued speaking.

"Father, mother, please forgive me but can I have your ears? Meng'er has a few things needs to confess."

The couple had their eyes opened wide. What can he be confessing about at such young age. He has been away from their home only for a year and he is only doing cultivation nearby.

Qi Meng waved his hand casually and a series of formation barriers have been activated and stacked together closely covering the entirety of their courtyard.

In a blink of an eye, all of his 10 dao palaces flew out from his dantian one by one, the golden one being the last.

Swoooshh, swooooshh, swoooooshhh...

The couple's mouth were agape and their jaws almost dropped touching the ground with their eye balls almost popping out from the sockets in disbelief.

"My cultivation level now is at the late stage of the Dao King realm." Qi Meng said casually.

Having just heard what he said, the two of them are still speechless. Their brain cannot process everything that they are seeing and hearing right now. They felt the strength of a Dao King when the dao palaces were revealed but they still could not believe it until Qi Meng have said it.

"Father and mother does not have to worry about my safety outside the clan, Meng'er has various means to defend myself." Qi Meng added.

Ngeeengk... ngeeeengk... ngeeeengk...

Nine of his dao palaces suddenly have their doors opened and the couple were able to peek with their spirit sense what is inside of his dao palaces.

"How could this be?" Qi Yu asked as he was surprised while Qi Zi is still speechless.

They did not know that the dao palaces can store tons of treasures inside in each palace. This is an eye opener for them. But of course, even if they tried to store any treasure in their dao palaces, they won't be able to like Qi Meng did. This made them even more flabbergasted. Having seen these, Qi Yu had already guessed who is helping their little clan in times of need.

"I, Meng'er, was also shocked myself at first. Honestly, father and mother, I was reborn in this world and has lived for millions of years in my previous life before being reborn."

"Meng'er's cultivation level at that time has reached the peak of Human realm. I was at the top tier stage of the Godking realm at that time before my rebirth." Qi Meng said calmly in a slowly manner.

Qi Yu and Qi Zi had no words to say at all. Many surprises have been revealed to them at once that they almost don't want to believe it if it were said by other people. But Qi Meng is their son, and he had no reasons to make this kind of stories to them.

The three of them chatted with each other until dawn.

They knew that their lovely son would be leaving the next morning and they had no reason to stop his journey. They trusted Qi Meng more and believed in his strength. With the stories from his past life being told to them, they have been very emotional. They clearly felt the sadness in their son's heart as he narrated briefly what he experience in his past life. They felt really sad and there was a moment where Qi Zi was not able to control her emotions and she cried like a baby. She felt bad for her son's hardships but it also made them proud of him even more.

Qi Yu, as the sect master of the clan, felt that his hope for their clan has come to reality. At first, he only wanted his son to be as talented as a heaven's child and help the clan to rise slowly. He did not expect that his son is already living in a totally different world from what he has envisioned. He felt emotional at the thought of their son leaving them in the future which he has no right to interfere.

Qi Meng is thinking of this issue as well right now, but he has already planned out everything.

The morning came as the sun slowly rise, they had a wonderful time the entire night and they all felt happy having big smiles on their faces during breakfast. As cultivators, they did not get tired staying up all night especially when the mood is right,
