"They later had two children. The eldest son was named Lu Zhenye and the younger son was named Lu Zhenxing. The two children were three years apart in age. Although there were two more people in the family, the ancestor was very happy every day because he had his own children. The Lu family had an heir, and he was worthy of facing all the ancestors of the Lu family."

"My grandfather and grandmother doted on these two children. They would not eat anything they had, but if the children wanted to eat something, they would give it to them without hesitation."

"But both of these children lost their lives because of practicing the 'Return to Oneness Heart Method'!"

"The reason is that the leaves wrapped in the fruit were not taken correctly. The two children only ate the fruit and not the leaves. In the end, they couldn't bear the severe pain and finally died."

"After losing these two children, my grandmother was devastated. She seemed to have lost her soul. She didn't want to do anything all day. She kept calling the names of her two children in a daze and wanted to hug other people's children from time to time."

"Later, she became blind and could not see anything, but she kept repeating the names of her two children. Sometimes, she even ran away from home to look for her children. So the villagers no longer liked Mr. Lu's family because they were a little afraid of their crazy behavior."

"Not long after that, my grandmother left her ancestors completely and went to look for her two lovely children."

"The ancestor himself wanted to go after his wife, but he couldn't die no matter how hard he tried." said the white-bearded old man.

"Is it the deified Immortal Lu who is protecting our ancestors?" Lu Cheng asked.

“I don’t know about that.” said the white-bearded old man.

"After the death of my first grandmother, my ancestor was very depressed. Later, he met Supreme Master Qiao. With his encouragement, he finally regained some vitality and later joined the Lingyun Sect as an elder."

"Later, I met my second grandmother, Liu Qiushui. She was 17 years younger than my ancestor, but they were also very loving."

"Later, this Grandmother Liu gave birth to five sons and two daughters for our ancestor, which really brought honor to the Lu family." said the white-bearded old man.

"These children of our ancestor all joined the Lingyun Sect, but after the construction of the Sky City was completed, they spent most of their time in the Sky City and rarely returned to the Lingyun Sect." said the white-bearded old man.

"Why do I feel that our ancestor had some foresight? Otherwise, why did he let his children stay in this city in the sky and rarely return to Lingyun Sect?" Lu Cheng asked.

"It's hard to say, but there is this possibility. After all, our ancestors often worshipped the Three Pure Ones, so it's possible that the Three Pure Ones gave us some hints." said the white-bearded old man.

"Later, the Lingyun Sect was destroyed almost overnight. But not all of them were destroyed. There were a small number of people who were not in the sect at the time and still survived. Those people later entered the secret realm and never came out again."

"For example, some descendants of Tan Jianbo and Hu Pingyue. They are still communicating with our tribe until now." said the white-bearded old man.

"Will they leak our city in the sky?" Lu Cheng asked.

"That won't happen, because they seldom come here, and they are all relatively reliable. Even if they knew about our place, they wouldn't be able to get in by themselves." said the white-bearded old man.

"Have we been to the secret place where they are?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Only a very small number of people in our family have been to their place. Moreover, there are intermarriages among our clans. Tan Jianbo and Hu Pingyue both respected our ancestors very much at that time." said the white-bearded old man.

"So now, which of our families is the most powerful?" Lu Cheng asked.

"It's hard to say, but in terms of the depth of our foundation, our family should be the most powerful."

"There are currently several masters in the Heavenly Realm in our family, but there are not many masters in the Heavenly Realm in other families." said the white-bearded old man.

"Will that supreme being target our families?" Lu Cheng asked.

"It's hard to say. He may be targeted because the Supreme is very powerful. But the Supreme seemed to have been injured when he destroyed the Church of Light. It's hard to say what his current strength is."

"But a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. It should still be stronger than the rest of us," said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, when you guys can break through and become the Supreme, you won't have to be afraid of that Supreme anymore." Lu Cheng said.

"Do you think it's that easy to break through?" said the white-bearded old man.

"Doesn't it mean that as long as you cultivate to that level, you will automatically break through?" Lu Cheng asked.

"It's not as simple as you think. The other realm upgrades are what you said. As long as you practice to the right level, it will be easy to break through. But when you reach the realm of Half-Step Supreme, there are many restrictions." said the white-bearded old man.

“Back when the evil dragon and the poisonous phoenix were at the half-step supreme level, for a long period of time, no one in the entire human race broke through to the heavenly realm, and the highest realm was only the earthly realm.”

“It was only after Supreme Qiao first broke through the Heavenly Realm that people from the human race gradually broke through and entered the Heavenly Realm. We still don’t know the reason behind this.”

“But the corresponding thing is that the cultivation speed of all races other than humans is much lower than that of humans. This may be the result of mutual restraint.” said the white-bearded old man.

"So what race is the current supreme being?" Lu Cheng asked.

"We don't know this either, but it's probably the evil dragon clan, because they love to suppress humans, and they have always been very powerful."

“Back then, Supreme Master Qiao took away the evil dragon and poisonous phoenix, but their descendants didn’t suffer much damage. It was probably because Supreme Master Qiao was too kind.” said the white-bearded old man.

"It may be that Supreme Qiao did not fully estimate the back-up plans of the evil dragon or poisonous phoenix clan, or the human race was not working hard enough." Lu Cheng said.

"I think the latter is more likely. Another point is that the infighting among the human race was too intense. So the dragon clan or the poisonous phoenix clan seized the opportunity." said the white-bearded old man.

"Where exactly are the Dragon Clan or the Poison Phoenix Clan? Has no one figured it out yet?" Lu Cheng asked.

"No one has taken the lead in this work. Besides, the Supreme Being may have many clones. Maybe one of his clones is right beside us."

"It's just that the strength of the Supreme's clone is not very strong, much weaker than the real body, but the clone can share its information with the real body. Therefore, it is not easy to figure out where the Supreme is." said the white-bearded old man.

"You should stop thinking about these useless things all day long. Your main task is to practice and improve your realm as quickly as possible. This is better than anything else."

"How to deal with the Supreme is something that the masters have to consider. They will have ideas. Don't meddle in matters that are not your business." The white-bearded old man continued.

"Grandpa is right. We will remember it." The men in black replied.

"Only when your realm is elevated and there are more powerful people in this world, the Supreme's energy will be dispersed, and he will not know who to target."

"Now, we will be more confident in dealing with the Supreme Being." said the white-bearded old man.

"Some time ago, there were rumors that the Supreme wanted to destroy the martial arts sects in this world by using poison."

"Later, for some reason, the news seemed to have leaked, and his drug-making dens were wiped out by the imperial court in as many as twelve places, but the Supreme Being didn't even have any big reaction. This surprised those martial arts sects!" said Lu Cheng.

"That's because the Supreme may have realized that there are still many powerful people in this world. So, he doesn't dare to directly break off relations with them, for fear that others will take advantage of him." said the white-bearded old man.

"When the forces in this world tend to be balanced, no one dares to make too big a move. Although the Supreme is the strongest, there are many strong people at the ninth level of the peak of the Heaven Realm, so the Supreme will also be worried."

"His only strategy is to defeat them one by one. He can't defeat too many enemies at the same time, because doing so will definitely lead to death." said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, can the deity in our family give us some hints? Or can the three great gods give us some hints?"

"Logically speaking, they shouldn't ignore the evil dragon or poisonous phoenix clan's vicious practices." Lu Cheng asked.
