”You mean, this dwarf is your direct descendant, and the true master of Cloud Country? In other words…”

It was easy to infer the meaning of the words from the dull voice, but the conclusion to that was simply shocking. Although Wang Lu was well-informed, thinking about this ended up jamming his thought.

”That is to say, you are the founding father of the Cloud Country, the ancestor of the royal family? Then Cloud Country is not simply a mortal world country. Well, this is also very normal. In this world, there are a lot of great cultivators who have no future in making a breakthrough. Seeing that their lives would be done and that their descendant could not inherit their cultivation, they leave their sect and establish political power in the mortal world. As long as they donʼt interfere too strongly in the mortal world operation, and do not abuse their immortal cultivation power, generally they would not be stopped… This ugly dwarf is your direct descendant but he wants to turn Cloud Country upside down, meaning that in the past, he had probably suffered some grievances, and thus was hell-bent on revenge against society? If that is the case, then that makes sense. If I might be so bold to guess, perhaps this dwarf is the legal next in line for the monarchy, but because of his dwarf deformity origin compared to his normal brother, he suffered a palace coup and was even persecuted. But by lucky chance, he did not die, and it thus led to the current situation.”

While Wang Lu slowly told his guess, the dwarf in mid-air suddenly regained his consciousness. He sneered several times and said, ”Yes, you guessed it right. If I had not been born disabled, the throne of the Cloud Country should have been mine! On the poetry, song, classics, on the theory of justice, and its practical application, I am better in any of these than my useless brother! Just because he was born with complete and perfect physique, everyone began to put pressure on me. Finally, they even broke both of my legs and kicked me out of the palace to wander destitute outside. A dignified prince of Cloud Country actually lived like a beggar to survive!”

Wang Lu said, ”But now youʼre Peak Jindan Stage cultivator, why would you still cling to the gains and losses in the past?”

”You said it right. Change in power will bring change in vision. Before I stumbled on a rare fortuitous encounter, I cherished everything in this Cloud Country, because they are my treasure! However, when I set foot on the path of immortal cultivation, I found out how naive I was before. There is simply no comparison between the great freedom that one gain from immortal cultivation and the previous palace intrigue. The king of the Cloud Country may be impressive, but in the eyes of cultivators, to kill those so-called kings, we only need a single move.”

Wang Lu asked, ”Since you have this awareness, why donʼt you let go of the past?”

”Let go of the past? Do you know what sustains me in my darkest hour of despair? Do you know what sustains me from the long pain and torment when I used my own blood and essence to produce dead aura when I first refined the corpse worm? Do you know that when I reached Jindan, I almost disappeared? Do you know what makes my primordial spirit stay condensed and not scattered?”

Wang Lu sighed. ”Hate?”

”Correct, hate! After I cultivated necromancy spell, my vitality continued to reduce and disperse. I self-taught myself with the incomplete book left behind by a predecessor. During which, I donʼt know how many times I almost fire deviated and almost vanished, and only a trace within my primordial spirit that I can grasp to support me. When I successfully reached Foundation Establishment, I was able to wash my marrow and change my tendon, and when I reached Jindan, I can shed my mortal body and exchange my bone, but I never replaced this ugly body of mine. Because I want to always remind myself the source of my hatred! I have been telling myself that everything that I do now is to one day destroy that usurper. From the moment I was driven out of the palace, I never forget this hatred! And the best way to take my revenge is to destroy this country. Although my brother is mediocre, he is indeed like the previous me, very much loves the Cloud Country. Therefore, as long as I destroy the Cloud Country before him, I can make him feel my pain!”
