Chapter 347: 191, 192. How can Cang Mountain reveal its true nature? Recognizing each other, returning home (seeking subscriptions)_3

Her chest heaved as she stared into the darkness, hugging her knees, biting her lip.

Thinking of her tragically killed companions, tears suddenly streamed down her face again.

Suddenly, she felt a pang of homesickness, yearning for the courtyard of her childhood.

She still remembered "Ting," which meant "courtyard," derived from her father’s love for its tranquility.

Her father loved that courtyard and also loved Ting.

But she also knew her "father" had been missing for ten years...

The woman was hugging her knees, reminiscing, when she suddenly sensed something, turned her head abruptly, and in a quick glance, saw a dark silhouette in the room.

Her heart pounded with fright, and without asking more, she instinctively tried to summon the animals.

But then, the voice sounded just in time.

"Ting, it’s your father."

The woman paused slightly but remained tense.

"Father came through possession, possessed a Dashang soldier. Earlier, your brother visualized me, so I came. After killing that Mysterious Flower Armor man, I’ve been secretly following you."

That voice continued.

The woman’s movements finally slowed down.

Song Cheng spoke of her childhood until Ting finally relaxed completely.

Crying, she said, "Where have you been all these years?"

Song Cheng replied, "Training. There was no choice... When you reach a certain Realm, time flows quickly while you train. Father always felt it was just a short while, but ten years had passed outside."

As he spoke, he sighed softly.

Not being able to watch his daughter grow and letting her fall into such danger, he felt regret.

But if he couldn’t grow stronger, he wouldn’t be able to protect this family or give them a chance at a longer life.

Ting remained silent.

She understood very well what her father said.

"Go home," Song Cheng suddenly said.

Ting said, "The Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits is treacherous. Uncle Zhao’s army will arrive soon. An certainly won’t be content and will want to take this opportunity to attack the capital of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits. Besides, with autumn approaching and abundant crops, this war may not be unwinnable."

Song Cheng was surprised and smiled, "Ting, you can even calculate these things?"

Ting replied, "Father, I am not a little girl anymore. I am already thirty-one."

Thirty-one...

Song Cheng looked at the frail Ting and felt a strange sense of time disconnection.

Suddenly, he realized: even though he had terrifying destructive power, he couldn’t heal Ting’s injuries now and could only let them recover slowly.

Similarly...

In the darkness, he could see Ting’s maturity.

She was truly a thirty-one-year-old woman, even resembling Miss An in his memories...

Miss An should have already entered the Qi Realm over these years, and the extended life span would have washed away her slight signs of aging, but... Ting was just an ordinary person and would slowly age.

"You will always be Daddy’s little cotton jacket," Song Cheng said softly.

Ting responded with a "Hmm."

Having experienced many things, she finally understood the value of family affection.

Song Cheng said, "You can leave the animals to help An; you come back with Father."

"Can I bring Yuan?"

"Of course, she’s been good to you. Father will guide her as much as possible and then give her secret medicine to help her break through to Pseudo-Profound."

"Thank you, Father."

...

...

Later, Song Cheng reunited with An, and father and son discussed for a long time. Song Cheng also gave An a lot of guidance.

Combining his practice over the years, Song An felt a sense of breakthrough in both his "military strategy bottleneck" and "martial path bottleneck."

Song Cheng wanted him to retreat his army first.

But Song An refused, reasoning that the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits had suffered heavy losses. If they didn’t seize the opportunity to eliminate them while they were weak, it would be troublesome again when they recovered.

Over the years, he had been learning about the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits through various channels, and even had a wife who was the Fourth Princess of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Given the recent major events, the princess was astonished, but fortunately, Song An did not hold a grudge against her. The Fourth Princess was extremely bitter toward the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits.

The Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits wanted to kill her husband and launched such a sudden attack on Dashang without notifying her to escape. It was clear they considered her a throwaway pawn...

Whether things succeeded or not, she would be dead either way.

So, the princess disclosed all the secrets and rumors she knew about the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits.

The strongest in the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits were the Great Prayer Masters, each possessing the strength comparable to the heads of the major families in Dashang. However, she couldn’t confirm anything about that powerful Mysterious Flower Armor man.

As a member of the Imperial Family, she could only speculate vaguely.

"I once overheard my grandfather speaking, saying that the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits has a presiding protector, the person closest to a deity. As long as he is there, everything is secure."

"As for gods, gods never show up, only bless. Anyone in the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits receives blessings... They not only bless our Imperial Family but everyone."

"The method to become a Spirit Prayer Master is actually to swallow a secret medicine. Although the formula for the secret medicine is hidden, it’s not the most difficult part... The main issue is that the primary ingredient of the secret medicine is very precious. After consuming the secret medicine, you need to digest it to use its power."

"As for the Great Prayer Masters, I don’t know more..."

Such were the words of the Fourth Princess.

And it was her words that made Song An firmly decide to wait for reinforcements and then attack the Imperial Capital of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits.

At the same time, he cooperated with some of the Fourth Princess’s theories to conduct tests on cultivating "Spirit Prayer Masters."

The Great General Song was stubbornly insistent on not returning and determined to conquer the Imperial Capital.

Song Cheng couldn’t persuade him, so he had to let his son visualize him directly if he faced any danger, and then he left.
