Chapter 515 The Price of Growth
In the center of the cave lake, a family of three sat on the ascension platform during the day.
Bai Tian turned his head to look at Bai Fengdu and sighed softly: "Fengdu, you have been through a lot, right?"
It was obvious that Bai Fengdu had become a lot more serious this time around. Although he was still cheerful and cheerful, he had become noticeably more mature.
Bai Fengdu lowered his head slightly: "Dad, I'm a little tired."
Bai Tian reached out and gently patted his shoulder: "If you are tired, stay."
Bai Fengdu raised his head, his eyes turned red, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Dad..."
"Oh, silly boy, why are you still crying?" Su Ling reached out to wipe his tears. "You are already a grown man, and you are stronger than your father."
Bai Fengdu's tears flowed even more violently, and he leaned into Su Ling's arms and cried, "Mom, I'm really a little tired."
Su Ling patted him with a little heartache, and at the same time turned her head to look at Bai Tian.
There was no comfort during the day, and he could expect that Bai Feng would go through this process.
Life is really tiring!
Life in the human world wasn't necessarily better than in the spirit world. In the spirit world, Bai Fengdu and his friends were indeed very lonely, with only a few brothers, but at least they were free from worries.
In the human world, even if Bai Fengdu is very powerful, he will encounter many problems that cannot be solved.
The many things in this world cannot be solved by sheer strength. There are many things that, even if you only see them, you will never forget them. Perhaps this is the sadness of being human...
After Bai Fengdu calmed down a bit, Bai Tian said softly, "Fengdu, the Ascension Plan I told you about before is about to be implemented. I think it's really time for us to build our own forces."
Bai Fengdu wiped his tears and sat up straight: "Dad, I figured it out. When I returned to Jiuli City and heard them say that you were building an ascension platform, I thought of this."
"It just so happens that I've recruited quite a few people over the years. The name Fengdu Emperor is quite useful in the southwest..."
Su Ling couldn't help but pat Bai Fengdu on the head again: "He's still the emperor, you dead kid."
Bai Tian took over the conversation: "I plan to build a Heavenly Gate here, divided into two parts. One part will bring people with a certain level of strength here; the other part will be used to guard here. Fengdu, your power is special..."
"Dad, I know." Bai Fengdu took over the conversation, "After I rest for a few days, I will return to the southwest. But Dad, are you sure you don't want people from Jiuzhou or Tianzhou to join?"
Bai Tian sighed softly, "I've been thinking about this as well. For now, I can only say that we should try to avoid them. But in the future, we'll still have to screen them and give them a certain number of people."
Bai Feng nodded: "Then I understand. Dad, then we've decided to build a Tianmen."
As he spoke, Bai Fengdu looked up at the sky and said, "Dad, I feel more and more that the Heavenly Dao you mentioned might really exist."
Bai Tian was stunned and looked up at the sky, not knowing how to respond.
Does the Way of Heaven exist?
This question was so vague that he still hadn't gotten any answer...
"Hey, can you please stop dwelling on these things? Fengdu, let me tell you, your brother Bai Dongdu has found a woman..." Su Ling started mumbling again, "Fengdu, did you lose your woman? Oh, if he dies, just find another one. It's nothing. Your father also lost a woman..."
Bai Fengdu came back and stayed for five days, then he left again with Xiao Fei, but Da Fei did not go with them.
Watching Bai Fengdu leave, Su Ling suddenly said, "During the day, the wind has changed."
During the day, it was obvious that Bai Feng had become very deep and thoughtful. It seemed he had been through a lot of painful things.
Pain is the best catalyst for growth.
Bai Tian said softly, "Let him be. We can't always be with him."
Su Ling sighed: "Yes, when people grow up, they always have to go out. Not only Feng Du, but also Bai Dong and the others, even Bai Yang. We can't interfere too much. Even if they are killed, it is their own path..."
This is a very uncomfortable topic, which is also the reason why Bai Tian has always been grateful that he and Su Ling do not have their own children.
Without their own children, they wouldn't have to face this separation. Of course, Bai Fengdu and the others were also their children, so there wasn't much difference...
Shaking off his thoughts, Bai Tian softly said, "Su Ling, go back to Wanghu Lake and then go to Jiuzhou."
Su Ling rolled her eyes and said, "I know. You're afraid that you'll be biased towards Jiuzhou, so you let me be the villain. Don't worry, I can explain it clearly to them. I think Emperor Ku is also a sensible person."
Bai Tian had never mentioned the matter of the Heavenly Gate to Emperor Ku. Moreover, after the Heavenly Gate was built, Haotian was no longer under the control of Jiuzhou.
So during the day I was still thinking about explaining things to Emperor Ku to avoid any misunderstandings...
Not long after, Su Ling also left.
He continued to supervise during the day, and occasionally entered the heaven to discuss the problems of the illusion with Jiuyin.
After a while, the palaces around Donghu Lake were basically built.
On this day, arrangements were made during the day for the Kyushu and Tianzhou teams to leave.
Before leaving, Bai Tian made sure that everyone in the two teams had eaten the golden elixir and their strength had been improved.
Bai Tian could see that some of them didn't want to leave, probably still thinking about ascending. But Bai Tian resisted the urge and didn't let any of them stay.
Since the decision has been made to build the Tianmen, the Tianmen personnel should be cautious. People from Jiuzhou and Tianzhou are not suitable to join the Tianmen at this stage because they may have some bias.
On the contrary, the people of other tribes in the southwest don't know so much, so they are easier to control...
After the teams from Tianzhou and Jiuzhou left, he summoned the Yanri tribe during the day.
Looking at the more than one hundred people, Bai Tian said calmly and loudly: "Things here are basically over. You have helped me a lot. If you have any needs, just tell me directly."
The old patriarch smiled and said, "Haotian, we don't have any requests. We just want you to tell Jiuli that we won't be returning to Jiuli."
Bai Tian frowned: "But you can't stay here..."
Suddenly Bai Tian thought of something, "Actually, I have a place you can go to. However, once you go there, you Yanri will be completely isolated from the outside world. Also, you need to build more houses."
The old patriarch's eyebrows lit up with joy. Just as he was about to say something, Bai Tian continued, "Patriarch, you two should discuss this carefully. If you're willing to go there, I'll take you there. If you're not willing to go, I'll find a way to help you improve your strength and then let you go to Jiuzhou or Tianzhou or something like that."
"There's one thing I need to make clear. If you go to that place, you might never come back. Of course, you're not dead."
The old patriarch turned around and glanced at his tribesmen, still with a smile on his face: "Haotian, we have nothing to discuss. We will follow you and listen to your arrangements..."
The crowd echoed the sentiment, which made Bai Tian quite excited. He hardened his heart and decided to bring the Yanri tribe to Penglai and let them continue to build houses...
