Explore the fantasy novel genre; there's bound to be one that suits you.

Compared to moving forward on their own, having someone to lead them is much faster.

These people were all at least Soul King level, familiar with the roads, and helped the two of them get back to their home on the mountaintop sooner.

"Speaking of which, why didn't we just fly here? Wouldn't that be simpler?" Ji Siyuan asked curiously. He had only skimmed through the script and didn't know many of the details.

Wang Dong'er explained, "There are ancient bird-like spirit beasts in the clouds, and they live in groups, known as the killers of the clouds. I don't have the strength to fly over them."

Ji Siyuan: "This is quite a test. Those who don't know better and fly up here will be in for a world of trouble."

"Stop being sentimental. My eldest and second uncles must have sensed my return. They'll be worried soon." After reaching a certain altitude, the gray-clad men left on their own, leaving the two of them to continue.

With clouds and mist beneath your feet, a majestic castle stands atop the mountain.

Others might be surprised at how this castle was built, and what price they would have to pay to use a high-level Soul Master, but Ji Siyuan was not surprised at all; using divine power was effortless.

"Aren't you shocked?" Wang Dong'er suddenly asked, leaving Ji Siyuan speechless.

Why be shocked?

"I give up. You're not surprised by this castle, but you're not surprised that I have two fathers?"

Ji Siyuan rubbed his chin. His uncles and aunts seemed to be no different from his parents. In fact, they had raised him for even longer than his parents. "I think it's normal. The only problem is that you're too inexperienced; you can't fly up and down properly."

"Damn it, you dare to call me a noob right in front of my house? Today I'll teach you what it means to regret it."

In the last few hundred meters, the two chased and played around in the same way as before.

"Have you prepared your gift?" Wang Dong'er stood beside him, her eyes filled with a smile.

"Ah, so you were waiting for me here. I did bring some fruit wine, is that a gift?"

"No, that's for us to drink, we can't give it to our eldest and second uncles." Wang Dong'er immediately rejected Ji Siyuan's suggestion.

A loud voice boomed from the castle: "Dong'er, how old are you to have learned to drink alcohol!"

A tall figure emerged from the castle; it was a robust middle-aged man with short, fine hair like steel needles. He had a dignified appearance, brown eyes, and a muscular physique.

The moment he appeared, he rushed towards Ji Siyuan with immense pressure.

A raging, intense flame appeared before Ji Siyuan, surrounded by eight lotus seeds that withstood the pressure.

Tang San: "It really is Er Ming." It hadn't been that long since he'd seen him, but he felt a pang of sadness.

Ji Siyuan: "Should I call him 'Uncle'?"

Tang San was also a bit undecided: "Strictly speaking, Erming is older than your father, but younger than your mother. Just call him whichever one sounds best to you."

Because Tang San underwent the full Shura God Trial in this life, and due to the wrangling between the old Sea God and the old Shura, Tang San's ascension to godhood was slightly later than Ji Dong and Lie Yan's. Therefore, Ji Siyuan addressed him as "Uncle."

"Second Father!" Wang Dong'er immediately stood in front of Ji Siyuan: "This is my friend, why are you using intimidation? He is a guest I brought."

Erming said sternly, "Dong'er, this is your first time traveling so far, and you bring a guest every few months, and it's a boy no less. Of course, your second father has to keep an eye on things." He then turned his gaze to Ji Siyuan and asked, "Do you think what I'm doing is right?"

Ji Siyuan: "I'm the one being tested. If you ask me, I'd definitely say no. How could you ask me if I have a vested interest?" Asking Ji Siyuan to vouch for him? Are you kidding? Would he give someone a way out and let them test him?

Erming snorted: "You've already tried, and you were able to withstand some of my pressure. At your age, you have every reason to be proud."

Wang Dong'er: "Second Father, are you just going to leave the two of us standing outside?"

"Hmph, you're qualified to enter our Haotian Fortress, come in." Erming entered the fortress first.

There was no overt hostility, but one could sense arrogance. They hadn't even exchanged names; it was a clear sign of distrust.

With the strength of a god-level official, he's practically invincible in the Douluo Continent. His arrogance is understandable.

He followed Wang Dong'er inside, and Wang Dong'er first arranged a room for him.

"Hmm?" Ji Siyuan didn't understand why rooms needed to be arranged.

"What? You're back? I can't just leave after I've absorbed the spirit ring, can I?" Wang Dong'er tapped the table. "You stay here for the next couple of days. I'll leave after I've absorbed the spirit ring."

Haotian Fort has three floors. The second floor is for entertaining guests, and the third floor is where Wang Dong'er and Da Ming Er Ming live.

He then moved into the second floor. There were no other luxurious decorations, just simple black and gray accents.

"Second Uncle, what were you doing just now? That was my guest. How could you do such a thing?" Wang Dong'er went up to Er Ming and questioned him.

"It was just a little bit of pressure, didn't your friend withstand it? Don't you think so, brother?"

Besides Erming, there was also a middle-aged man in white at the head of the table. Tang San could naturally tell that his aura belonged to the Azure Bull Python, also known as Daming.

Erming, sitting to the side, remarked, "Your friend is no ordinary person."

Wang Dong'er said proudly, "Of course it's not simple. A second-ring spirit ring can overpower a third-ring spirit ring. Moreover, both of their spirit rings are thousand-year spirit rings."

The thousand-year soul ring naturally didn't shock Da Ming and Er Ming; what surprised them was something else entirely.

"That's not what I meant. I'm certain that the eight lotus seeds surrounding him are divine-level items. That's practically impossible on the continent today, unless it's a divine test." Erming attributed all possibilities to a divine test.

Da Ming: "I have seen similar flames and lotuses before, but it couldn't be that person descending, nor have I heard of them having children. If it's something that comes with a martial soul, then the only possibility is the blessing of the world. According to that person's legend, only the scorching hot core of the earth can produce such a martial soul. The Earth Core Red Lotus didn't come into being but instead became an exclusive martial soul? In that case, having a divine spiritual object isn't such a big problem."

Wang Dong'er scolded playfully, "Are you trying to figure out the secret of someone's martial spirit?"

Da Ming and Er Ming laughed heartily: "Since you brought him here, we have to carefully vet him, right? But since he dared to come to our Haotian Sect, his background shouldn't be a problem. His martial soul comes with a divine-level spiritual object, so his talent is definitely not bad, and his luck won't be much weaker either. The only thing left to test is his character. If he wants to be our Haotian Sect's son-in-law, his character absolutely cannot be bad."

"He's just my friend!" Wang Dong'er's rebuttal seemed quite adorable to Da Ming and Er Ming. Anyone you bring home can only be an ordinary friend.

A red lotus bloomed before Ji Siyuan: "As expected, those two are still too incompetent; they couldn't even detect the sword's presence."
