Kunlun Mountain, atop a towering and perilous peak.

Ethereal clouds mist about, ancient trees verdant green, birds soaring high into the sky, and a wide waterfall cascading down the perilous peak, like a galaxy descending from the heavens, majestic in style.

At the summit, lush greenery conceals a luxurious three-story villa, modeled after Chinese pavilions and combined with modern architectural design.

At this moment, Lin Fei stood with a travel bag in hand, right in front of this beautiful villa.

Around the villa, all sorts of colorful flowers were planted, and in some corners, rare herbs were grown.

Some of these herbs had been planted for over a decade, planted by him and his senior sister when they were young.

Though it was atop the high peak, a villa was built here, leaving Lin Fei unclear in the past how his grandfather managed this?

However, after traveling south to Huadu, then north to Capital City, and returning, he understood.

It very likely was the wealth and power of his senior sister's family that played a role, and of course, given his grandfather's acquaintance with many elite families, building a villa on Kunlun Mountain wasn't a difficult task.

Lin Fei entered the villa, he stayed on the second floor while his grandfather and senior sister lived on the first and third floors respectively.

After placing his travel bag in his room on the second floor, Lin Fei went up to the villa's rooftop terrace, where he saw solar panels ensuring electricity usage in the deep mountains for the villa.

Lin Fei stood at the terrace railing, surrounded by towering mountains shrouded in mist, a breathtaking landscape just like a painted scroll.

Lin Fei's gaze landed on the back mountain where his grandfather's cave chamber was on the cliffside, a secluded place for his grandfather's cultivation.

Though he couldn't see the cave on the cliff, he knew a century-old vine grew at its entrance, with vines climbing up the wall. During their childhood, Lin Fei and his senior sister often climbed these vines to access his grandfather's cultivation cave.

Swish.

Lin Fei suddenly leaped from the villa rooftop, soaring like a great eagle on the wind towards the back mountain cliff.

In an instant, Lin Fei landed on the cave on the cliff.

The entrance was only about two meters high, but as he walked inside, it became more spacious, revealing a cave residence over a hundred square meters.

On the cave's rock walls, stone slots were filled with lamp oil, with wicks placed in the slots, lighting flames to illuminate the cave.

Inside the cave, there were beds, various bookshelves, and even a cauldron for elixir-making, with many precious elixirs his grandfather had refined within.

The secret chamber was located in the left corner of the cave, where a round stone sphere was the mechanism to open it.

Lin Fei stepped forward and pressed his palm onto the stone sphere. It immediately sunk halfway into the cave wall. Lin Fei grabbed the sphere and rotated it three times to the left.

With a rumble, a thick stone door opened, revealing a room-sized secret chamber.

Lin Fei stepped inside.

Inside the chamber, there was only a stone table, on which a locked wooden box was placed, with nothing else there.

Although he'd entered this chamber many times before with his grandfather and seen the wooden box on the stone table,

He'd asked his grandfather what was inside the box, but each time, his grandfather would answer, "Lin Fei, you're still young. Wait until you're older, then I'll tell you what's inside."

Thus, Lin Fei had always been unaware of what the wooden box contained.

Moreover, without his grandfather's permission, he dared not open the box on his own.

Lin Fei stepped forward, gently pinched the bronze lock on the wooden box, and with a click, the lock fell onto the stone table.

Opening the box, Lin Fei saw a letter inside.

Lin Fei picked up the letter, its color yellowed, seemingly having been inside for some years, tore open the envelope, and took out the letter paper.

By the light, Lin Fei saw written on the letter, "Lin Fei, this letter is prepared for the possibility that if I encounter misfortune, I can tell you some secrets I've hidden for many years but haven't shared with you.

Now that you're reading this letter, it seems I've already met with misfortune!

I now reveal all secrets to you, regarding your origin, your father's origin, and your parents' deaths."

Seeing this, Lin Fei couldn't help but frown slightly: My father's origin?

My father is just my grandfather's son, could there be another origin?

This stirred more curiosity in Lin Fei's heart.

So, he continued reading the letter: "Let's begin with your origin. Your father is called Lin Yunxiao, and your mother is called Duan Mengyu.

Your father wasn't my biological son. I remained unmarried throughout my life. Your father was a baby I encountered when I heard crying as I passed by a mountain on the outskirts of the Capital, and following the sound, found a heavily injured man covered in blood, lying on the ground, holding this baby—your father."

"The man, before dying, asked me to take good care of you both, adding that you were the sons of the War God. I wanted to ask more, but the man had died.

So, I didn't know who the War God was but took your father in. Later, I discovered your father possessed innate brilliance, and his cultivation soared unprecedently, reaching the Martial Venerable realm by age twenty.

Unfortunately, my senior brother Duan Xing was constantly coveting the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, a sacred text passed down through our Lin family. First, he had his daughter Duan Mengyu become my disciple, then had her marry your father, but your mother refused to steal the Martial Saint Heart Sutra for Duan Xing. Enraged, Duan Xing joined forces with numerous sects and finally orchestrated your parents' demise on the Cloud-Entering Peak."

Your parents faced an onslaught from Duan family and factions worldwide, dying at Cloud-Entering Peak. Lin Fei already knew this but hadn't expected Duan Xing to be his grandfather's senior brother.

"After your parents' deaths, for many years, I've secretly investigated who else was behind this, and after years of inquiry, finally uncovered the masterminds."

Lin Fei saw his grandfather had identified the masterminds: "Penglai Martial Saint, Zhu Mu Martial Saint, Jiangnan Martial Saint, Celestial Wolf Martial Saint."

"The Four Martial Saints hold positions in Huaxia, East, West, South, and North, having cultivated for hundreds of years, reaching an insurmountable bottleneck and unable to advance further. Even Martial Saints have limited lifespans and inevitably die.

The Martial Saint Heart Sutra was left by our Lin family ancestor, the ancient Martial Saint Lin Qingfeng, aiding Martial Saints in achieving breakthroughs to enter the Legendary Realm.

According to the instructions Lin Qingfeng left for Lin family descendants, after breaking into the Legendary Realm, one would possess Divine Power, able to venture to an unknown world.

It's said that unknown world grants supreme Divine Power, with strength tenfold or hundredfold what we martial artists here achieve, and this Divine Power can multiply lifespan tenfold, possibly even achieving immortality.

Thus, the Martial Saint Heart Sutra became the most desired Martial Arts Holy Scripture for the Four Martial Saints.

But concerned about reputation and image, the Four Martial Saints didn't dare personally seize the Lin family's Martial Saint Heart Sutra, hence they enlisted Duan Xing along with sects and factions as pawns to obtain it for them."

So that was it!

Lin Fei now understood but remained puzzled over what his grandfather referred to as an unknown world, wondering what kind of world it was?

He continued reading the letter: "Of course, this is just legend. Even grandpa didn't know where the unknown world was. But I want to tell you not to seek vengeance against the Four Martial Saints; you're no match for them. Remember this; it's vital.

Moreover, at the bottom of the box is a piece of White Jade, which your father had worn as a baby. Keep it close and don't lose it; it might be the only clue to discover your father's family.

After reading, burn the letter and leave no trace."

Afterwards, it was signed by his grandfather: "Written by Lin Zheng."

The date was ten years ago.

Lin Fei immediately directed his gaze to the bottom of the wooden box, indeed finding a piece of White Jade.

Thus, Lin Fei picked up the White Jade, under the lamp, its surface was snow-white, pristine and flawless, with a chill naturally curling around his fingers.

As if it exuded a peculiar aura, leaving Lin Fei with an inexplicable warmth and familiarity.

Subsequently, Lin Fei put on the White Jade, secured with a red cord around his neck, then held the letter to the lamp flame.

The letter burned to ashes on the stone table.
