Martial God Asura (СИ)

"Before that, even if you beat me to death I wouldn't believe that one day, I, Huangfu Haoyue, would beg someone so I could live.

"However, on that day, I did indeed do that. I remember it clearly. How lowly I was, yet how willing." Huangfu Haoyue gave a bitter chuckle, then continued, "I was really afraid of that man. That fear came from the bottom of my heart. It was like a commoner seeing a god. That sort of reverence was impossible to resist.

"But actually, that man didn't do anything bad to me. He never threatened nor harmed me. Instead, he was quite benevolent. He entrusted you to me, and he told me to bring you out of the Heavenly Road and in turn entrust you to a family named Chu. He named you Chu Feng and told me to protect you until you grew up.

"I agreed; I didn't dare to refuse. I felt I had no choice but to agree, and after that... I felt my vision blur. When it returned to normal, I had come back to the Eastern Sea Region. I'm sure you know what happened later on. After I returned, my mental state started deteriorating.

"Although that man had never scared nor threatened me, I myself felt I had to finish this mission. Otherwise, he would kill me. That's what I felt. As for death, I do not fear it much, but when I recalled he was going to kill me, I felt endless terror.

"I knew very well I had been broken from fright. I knew I would go mad. However, I couldn't control my fate. I was that powerless.

"Before turning insane, I went to see Fuyan. I told her not to enter the Heavenly Road. Afterwards, I went to the continent of the Nine Provinces and wanted you to settle down there.

"Actually, there are quite a few clans named Chu in the Eastern Sea Region, but I didn't dare to put you there. I knew my time was short and I would lose the power to protect you soon. I couldn't be certain whether you could safely grow up in a place like that.

"That's why I brought you to the continent of the Nine Provinces and chose a small family. I felt, by my threats, they would not dare to treat your poorly due to the overwhelming fear they'd feel.

"And after entrusting you to the Chu family, I hiddenly monitored them for a while until... until I was truly unable to control myself. Only then did I leave, because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself and harm you after going insane.

"I'm sure you know what came later," Huangfu Haoyue said.

"Senior, do you remember the place you talked about? The position in the Heavenly Road where you met the man?" Chu Feng asked.

Huangfu Haoyue provided the clues, but didn't tell him the answer he wanted to know. So, Chu Feng had to personally head towards the Heavenly Road and investigate.

"I don't remember. However, nothing in the Heavenly Road changes. After meeting the second group of creatures, go a bit forward, then head east. You should be able to find it..." Huangfu Haoyue said with an uncertain tone.

"Thank you, Senior Huangfu." Chu Feng bowed and clasped his hands. He didn't continue asking because he knew nothing more would come out of it. Rather than having Huangfu Haoyue recall the worrying memories of the past, it was better to just leave it like this.

"There's no need to thank me. If it weren't for you, perhaps I would already be dead in the Heavenly Road. No matter what I experienced in these years, at least I'm alive. Moreover, I have unknowingly become a rank eight Martial King. That's absolutely not a coincidence either. I feel that my aptitude right now is even stronger than back then. Perhaps one day I will even become a Martial Emperor.

"And this... is all because of you. If there must be thanks, it should be me thanking you." Huangfu Haoyue looked at Chu Feng with immense gratitude.

Chu Feng did not refute Huangfu Haoyue's words. After all, he was very correct. If it weren't for Chu Feng, perhaps Huangfu Haoyue would have already died within the Heavenly Road. How would he live to see today?

Although he had gone insane for quite a long period of time and he had borne a few pains, he had gotten quite a few gains as well. As he said, amidst his madness, he simply knew nothing about cultivation. Yet, his cultivation had grown. Not only cultivation, even his comprehension strength had become stronger. These were his gains, and he knew where they came from.

Moreover, after experiencing such a suffering, he knew the most important thing in life was not cultivation. Even though he wished to become a Martial Emperor, he did not plan to enter the Holy Land of Martialism. Instead, he planned to stay in the Eastern Sea Region by Qiushui Fuyan's side.

"Chu Feng, I know you must go to the Heavenly Road. I simply cannot stop you, so I'm not planning to stop you.

"But that is truly a dangerous place. As such, I do not advise bringing Zi Ling and the others with you. You're different from them. You have a very strong willpower; you can pass through the Heavenly Road. However, that may not apply to them," Huangfu Haoyue recommended.

"Thank you for your advice, senior. I've already decided." Chu Feng nodded, then return to the Misty Peak with Huangfu Haoyue.

When he returned, Chu Feng called over Zi Ling, Su Rou, Su Mei, Jiang Wushang, and Zhang Tianyi.

However, when he looked at their faces brimming with smiles, Chu Feng found it a bit hard to speak. They all had their dreams and they didn't fear danger. They really should head to the Holy Land of Martialism, so Chu Feng truly didn't know how to convince them to stay.

"Junior Chu Feng, there's something I and Brother Wushang want to tell you," Zhang Tianyi suddenly said. There was even a bit of an apologetic expression on his face.

"Senior Zhang, just speak your mind," Chu Feng said.

"Junior Chu Feng, I am truly sorry. We cannot accompany you to the Holy Land of Martialism," Zhang Tianyi said remorsefully. Jiang Wushang's face was also a bit apologetic.

"Senior Zhang, Brother Wushang, you mean...?" Chu Feng felt a bit surprised at his words.

"Big Brother Chu Feng, I know we brothers said we would face fortune and disaster together, but there's really too great of a difference between our cultivations. We don't want to be constantly on guard after entering the Holy Land of Martialism with you. We don't want to affect your future because of our helplessness.

"So, we've already discussed this with Sister Fuyan. She allowed me and Big Brother Tianyi to stay in the Misty Peak to cultivate. She'll also pass down the cultivation methods from the Misty Peak.
