The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

About two more days later, the scabs on Feng Yu's back had fallen off, leaving behind patches of pinkish-white and brown scabs.

Shen Yao stroked the scar on his back: "Father, how come the poison has been neutralized? Why isn't the injury healing?"

Huo Die: "Isn't it already healed? It's already scabbed over."

Shen Yao: "Why haven't these scars disappeared after using the healing spell so many times?"

Huo Die stroked his beard: "Although the toxins have been expelled, his previous injuries were too severe, and the scars also need a recovery period."

"You should be glad that his spiritual root wasn't burned."

Speaking of spiritual roots, Huo Die narrowed his eyes, released his divine sense to examine it carefully, and then exclaimed with delight, "Yunhe is... about to awaken a new spiritual root!"

Hu Yawu came closer and used his spiritual sense to check: "It really is him, he is awakening the earth spiritual root."

He pointed to Feng Yu's shoulder and said to Shen Yao, "Look, brown spiritual threads have grown here."

Suddenly remembering that Shen Yao was a fairy, he awkwardly said, "Uh, you can't see it."

Although she couldn't see it, both her father and Brother Wu said so, and Shen Yao was very happy for Feng Yu. She squatted down, rubbed Feng Yu's head, and whispered, "Yunhe, you're going to become an Immortal Ancestor, are you happy?"

Feng Yu buried her face in his arms and pretended to be asleep, without answering.

He already knew he was awakening his earth elemental root; the itching in his right shoulder was getting worse and worse, and he had checked it with his spiritual sense.

So what if I become an Immortal Ancestor? I'm already in this state. Even if I become an Immortal Ancestor and my lifespan increases by a few thousand years, it's just a matter of enduring a few thousand more years of being abandoned.

He became somewhat self-destructive.

He never believed that Yanzhou could take him with him, nor did he believe that Yanzhou would stay for him.

If going to the Outer Heavens were so easy, why would she be waiting so eagerly for Guan Guan to pick her up?

The world beyond the heavens was so novel and mysterious, how could she possibly stay for him?

The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became; his heart ached as if stabbed by needles, and the tendrils on his shoulder began to itch again…

……

After Feng Yu got up, he always wore a black mask. His hair was cut very short and messy, making him look like a beautiful, strong, and tragic figure damaged in the apocalypse.

He was never a talkative person to begin with, and now he's even more silent, always keeping himself tightly wrapped up, refusing to let Shen Yao treat his scars or let her see them.

Shen Yao tried every trick in the book to coax him, but he didn't seem to be happy at all.

In his gaze towards Shen Yao, besides tenderness, there was also a sense of brokenness, as if she might be abandoned at any moment. Shen Yao felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this and gradually dared not meet his eyes again.

The way she dodged him only served as further evidence in Feng Yu's eyes that she was preparing to abandon him.

He didn't regret protecting her; he only hated himself for not being strong enough to protect his own body and the face she loved.

Feng Yu's earth elemental root has successfully awakened, and luckily, it's of superior quality.

He became a third-class, eighth-grade immortal ancestor with superior spiritual roots.

They had lingered in the passageway long enough. Although Feng Yu's scars hadn't healed, his body had recovered and his strength had increased. It was time for them to head to Room Four.

There's a hidden latch on the door to the four rooms, making it easy to open.

The scene inside the four rooms was the same as what they had seen in the illusion of the talisman: the interior was magnificent and resplendent, with a six-petaled flower-shaped platform in the center.

A black scroll floated in the middle of the platform, emitting a golden light, indicating that it was some kind of divine magic.

Above the six-lobed platform, six weapons floated, also emitting golden light; all were divine-level spiritual weapons.

The six divine-level spiritual weapons are a long spear, a pair of crescent blades, a long whip, a hand crossbow, a pair of arm rings, and a short sword.

The six spirit weapons are engraved with their names: "Soaring Clouds, Crescent Moon, Roaring Tail, Mountain Breaker, Soul Chaser, and Thorn".

Huo Die couldn't help but exclaim, "What wonderful names! They're all excellent."

Hu Yawu was passionate about swords. Seeing Feng Yu staring at the crossbow, he firmly declared, "I want the spikes!"

"Take it if you like it." Huo Die was very supportive: "There's probably an illusion array involved, so be careful."

"Alright!" Hu Yawu didn't hesitate and flew to retrieve the thorn.

Feng Yu withdrew her gaze: "Yanzhou, what do you want?"

Shen Yao: "I have the God-Slaying Sword, you guys go first."

Huo Die: "Good son-in-law, have you taken a fancy to Broken Mountain? Go and get it."

Feng Yu was determined to win and flew towards the crossbow.

Huo Die asked Shen Yao, "Daughter, you don't like any of them?"

Shen Yao: "I have the God-Slaying Sword, even though it's disobedient."

As soon as she finished speaking, the voice of the guardian deity came from her storage ring: "Once you become a god, we will naturally obey you."

"Wow." Huo Die chuckled, "That's definitely got personality!"

"Heh." Shen Yao gave an awkward laugh: "Those crescent blades are suitable for Gouyue. I saw her using crescent blades, but they're not as good as these."

"That long whip is perfect for a lazy bum. Take it back and see if she likes it."

"The armband would suit Shi Bao well, and there's also a long spear. Do you like it, Dad?"

Huo Die put his hands behind his back and said smugly, "None of them are as good as my Golden Wheel."

Shen Yao: "Yes, yes, yes, Father's Golden Wheel is the best."

Huo Die was pleased: "Well, take the spear back with you too, give it to Ning Yuan."

……

Feng Yu's process of retrieving the crossbow went very smoothly. When he approached Po Shan, Po Shan resonated with him.

The golden light returned to the characters engraved on the crossbow handle, and the black "Broken Mountain" on the handle turned gold.

The phantom of the two characters 'Broken Mountain' emerged from the golden characters, flew to Feng Yu's brow, and entered his soul core.

Poshan actually recognized him as its master!

Feng Yu reached out and summoned, "Break Mountain!"

With a 'whoosh,' the broken mountain flew into his hand. Feng Yu gripped the crossbow, channeled his spiritual power, and fired three arrows at the wall in quick succession.

The spirit arrow pierced through the wall, its tail trailing lightning as it hurtled through a large hole. Wherever the lightning passed, the bloodworms inside scattered, and the earth and rocks all vaporized.

What a wonderful tool! It feels amazing in the hand too!

Regardless of its size, material, shape, or power, he loved it dearly.

Having obtained the Broken Mountain, he temporarily forgot all his troubles. A smile he hadn't seen in a long time appeared in his eyes. He happily shared the hand crossbow with Shen Yao: "Yanzhou, look!"

Shen Yao finally dared to meet his gaze, and seeing the joy in his eyes, she was also very happy.

Huo Die said something that made them even happier: "Broken Mountain, a divine-grade Xuan-level spiritual weapon, is also a growth-type spiritual treasure. Its grade will increase as your strength grows, and one day it can even reach the Heavenly grade."

"The four spiritual weapons above are all growth-type spiritual treasures. Daughter, go and get them."

"Okay." Shen Yao flew to get it, but before she got close, Chongyun, Xianyue, Xiangwei, and Zhuihun all flew towards her and surrounded her.

The golden light from the four spirit weapons returned to the inscriptions, and the black characters on the spirit weapons turned into golden characters: 'Soaring Clouds', 'Crescent Moon', 'Soundbite', and 'Soul Chaser'.

Shen Yao waited for a while, but none of the golden inscriptions on the four spiritual weapons appeared as phantoms, so they probably wouldn't recognize her as their master anymore.

"Chongyun!" she tentatively summoned, and Chongyun flew directly into her storage ring.

"Crescent Moon!" Crescent Moon also flew into her storage ring.

The same applies to rattlesnakes and stalkers.

Shen Yao, having successfully completed her mission, returned to Feng Yu's side, shaking his arm and acting coquettishly: "Husband, although none of them have recognized me as their master, I have still managed to collect four of them."
