Chapter 001 Prologue
Little Junior Sister—" he surfaced and exhaled, then plunged back to the bottom of the lake, turning over every stone and treading through every patch of aquatic grass. Time passed second by second, and before he knew it, Xiao Feng had been searching the bottom of the lake beneath the Ninefold Heaven Waterfall for an entire night.
Wow! The junior apprentice felt as if she were in a dream, with the world spinning around her. She did not know where she was.
Hmm..." Xiao Feng stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Remember today's lesson well, and never forget it for all eternity! You are the last hope of this world, and the safety of the realm rests upon your thoughts. Today, you have caused the death of my daughter. Tomorrow, you will bring about the demise of the entire world, do you understand? Sui Feng!" The master's words pierced Sui Feng's heart like a sharp blade, again and again. He fell to his knees, desperately banging his head against the ground, wailing and crying, as the hot tears in his eyes gradually turned into streaks of bright red blood. Sui Feng!" The master's words pierced Sui Feng's heart like a sharp blade, again and again.

At that moment, a shadow suddenly flashed through the mist.
Then hurry up and go! Oh... fly! The junior sister sprang off the ground, her body shooting into the sky like a firecracker
"Sui Feng, you have done a good deed!" It was unclear how much time had passed when a familiar voice suddenly rang out above his head
Then... Xiao Feng's eyes turned, "Haven't you already learned the Wind Riding Technique? Let's fly over the Nine-Tiered Waterfall at Lin Tai Peak tonight, and let you have a great time."
"Little Maple, how do you know so much?" The junior sister's face was filled with admiration.
You will definitely succeed. The junior sister pressed her lips together and nodded with unwavering certainty, as if she had already determined that Xiao Feng Ge was the destined star.
"Junior Sister?" Xiao Feng turned around and looked back. The junior sister who had been closely following him had suddenly vanished, leaving only a snow-white shawl draped over her shoulders fluttering aimlessly in the air, twisting and distorting helplessly with the mountain breeze.
"Indeed, my dream is to become the Star of Destiny," Xiao Feng said proudly
It is too terrifying. I don't want it! Such a horrifying thing must not happen. The junior sister exclaimed in fear.
This is the Ascension Hexagram of Yin and Yang. As long as one steps into the area where the Ascension Hexagram exists, it can activate the hexagram's symbol. The little boy smiled and waved at her, pulling her to the center of the depression.
Ah! A short, sharp scream rang out behind him, the cry filled with sorrow and panic, causing the hair on his body to stand on end
"Beautiful, beautiful..." Xiao Feng nodded eagerly, "This is the most beautiful, the best-looking, the most exquisite, and the most affectionate Ruyi knot I have ever seen"
The junior sister gazed up at the sky. Suddenly, the twenty-eight constellations in the night sky began to plummet towards the ground in unison. Each star left a long trail of light in the night sky, resembling countless golden-white spears piercing through the silence of the night. In that moment, the junior sister experienced a strange illusion, feeling not that the stars were falling simultaneously, but that she herself was soaring into the vast sky at an incredible speed
"Shameless." The junior apprentice laughed out loud
The stars are falling—signs of the heavens declining and the earth exhausting. Xiao Feng leaned close to her ear and whispered, "The spiritual energy of the entire universe has completely withered, mountains and rivers no longer exist, the forests are in decay, the heroes of the world have suffered heavy casualties, and the world is returning to chaos"
I am the last hope of this world! The safety of the world lies within my thoughts! All hope is placed upon me! I must grow up quickly, understand things sooner, and not act foolishly like a child! I must be the savior of this world!" With every word he spoke, he slammed his head violently against the cobblestone ground, allowing the excruciating pain to mercilessly pierce his brain
"Xiao Feng, what happened? Why did those golden mists turn into stars?" This was an eight-year-old girl with a beautiful appearance, possessing a pair of adorable squinting eyes. When she smiled, she revealed a set of snow-white teeth, looking like a brilliant pearl.
"Did you see it?" Xiao Feng said softly, "That star is the Divine Destiny Star, the fate of which is legendary. Only the Divine Destiny Star can save us from the calamity of a declining heaven and exhausted earth. He will become the greatest hero between heaven and earth"
Do not worry. Look at the sky! Xiao Feng pointed at the empty night sky. At the zenith, a star shimmering with an orange-red glow continued to radiate its enchanting starlight, illuminating the pitch-black sky. Seven golden-white stars rose slowly from the ground, encircling this star, forming the shape of a long sword, with the orange-red star at its center. This long sword composed of stars flashed in the air, transforming into a dazzling brilliance that ruthlessly sliced through the surrounding dead silence of the dark night. The sky, devoid of stars, vanished, and before the eyes of the junior sister and Xiao Feng, the twinkling starry sky reappeared.
"The Ascension Hexagram? Are you referring to the last hexagram divined when Daoist Xuandao Master ascended to the celestial realm?" the little girl asked in surprise, "I never expected that he actually ascended from the Lingzhu Platform."
On the Lingzhu Platform at the summit of Lintai Peak in the Tianhua Mountain Range, there lies a depression resembling a meteorite crater. Within this depression, there are eight pairs of footprints, varying in size and shape. These footprints appear as if they were meticulously carved by a stonemason into the blue stone at the bottom of the depression, with every detail vividly visible and the textures profound. Surrounding these eight pairs of footprints, a golden mist floats year-round, resembling stars, and when viewed at night, it seems as if a multitude of stars are twinkling.
"By the way, Junior Sister, why are you chasing after me so late? What do you want to do?" Xiao Feng suddenly asked
Really?! The junior sister widened her eyes in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that father will blame you? Didn't father say that there was an anomaly at the Nine Heavens Waterfall and that we must not go near it?"
Little Junior Sister ... ... "Xiao Feng Ge took the Ruyi knot with both hands, his little face flushed with emotion, "I ... ... I ... ... "
Hehe. The junior sister squinted her eyes and smiled at him, "Xiao Feng, what day is it today?"
"It is what the master said," Xiao Feng said proudly, closing his eyes.
Ah— Xiao Feng urged the rapid descent technique— like a thousand-pound weight, he shot into the top of the waterfall like a bullet, splitting the myriad layers of azure waves, piercing straight down from the peak into the tranquil lake in the valley. The fish in the lake, upon seeing his figure, immediately panicked and scattered, stirring the clear lake water into a murky state. He plunged straight down to the lake bottom, swimming frantically across the lakebed, anxiously searching every corner. However, along the way, he could not see a trace of his junior sister. He plunged straight down to the lake bottom, swimming frantically across the lakebed, anxiously searching every corner. However, along the way, he could not see a trace of his junior sister.
In the tranquil night, a boy who appeared to be no older than nine years old nimbly climbed up the sheer cliffs of Lintai Peak to the summit of Lingzhu Platform. He peered around the four sides of Lingzhu Platform, confirming that no one was present, and then performed a forward somersault, agilely jumping into the depression of Lingzhu Platform, placing his feet in the center of the circle formed by eight pairs of footprints.
Oh ho! Little Feng shouted sharply, gathering his true energy in an instant to activate the Divine Movement Technique. He flipped three times in the air and then let out a loud roar, spreading his limbs wide, floating lightly in the sky like a cloud, overlooking the vast expanse of azure waves below. The sound of thunder surged, creating a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere.
Little Feng! Just as the young boy was immersed in this beautiful starry sky, a clear and melodious voice rang in his ear, like a oriole in the mountains
Haha, Junior Sister, look!" Xiao Feng quickly raised his hand and pointed to the starry sky above, trying to divert her attention.
Little Junior Sister, with energy sinking to the dantian, strength flowing through the waist and legs, lifting the breath and lightening the body, thus... thus... thus...! Little Feng effortlessly employed the Qimen Chengfeng Technique, soaring through the air like a swallow piercing the clouds, breaking through layer upon layer of mist. At the very top of the Lintai Peak waterfall, he dashed like lightning, while behind him, Little Junior Sister giggled, mimicking his movements, her feet treading the waves like a fairy gliding on water.
Today marks the anniversary of when your father brought you back from Chuyunze, and it is also your rebirth day. Have you forgotten? From today onward, this will be your birthday. " Little Junior Sister took out a red Ruyi knot from her pocket and handed it to Little Feng. " Happy birthday, birthday star, may you have this day every year and this moment every age.
No! Don't!" Xiao Feng shouted as he tried to rush to his junior sister's side, but was kicked to the ground by his master.
"What? Why didn't Grandpa tell me! Hmph, so biased." The junior sister pouted, her face brewing an expression of anger.
The master shook his head with a gloomy expression
Do not touch her! How many times have I told you not to take Lingwu to the Nine Heavens Waterfall to play? Ever since Master Daoxuan divined the ascension hexagram, strange phenomena have been occurring here constantly, and something could happen at any moment! Yet you refuse to listen! Have you forgotten? I was only out for one night to handle some matters, and look at what you have done! You are the candidate I have chosen for the position of Prime Minister, with the potential to become the savior of the world in the future. Is this how you repay my kindness in recognizing your talent?" Hong Xijue asked hoarsely. You are the candidate I have chosen for the position of Prime Minister, with the potential to become the savior of the world in the future. Is this how you repay my kindness in recognizing your talent?" Hong Xijue asked hoarsely.
"Is it possible to pledge oneself in such a manner?" Xiao Feng asked hastily
"Well, go ahead, how will you repay me?" The junior apprentice closed her eyes and tilted her head back.
Go! Little Feng turned around in place, his body whistling as he chased after the silhouette of his junior sister. He performed a somersault in mid-air and, with a whoosh, darted in front of her. A string of laughter, like silver bells, scattered in the air
"What are you doing? Do you think it looks bad? I worked on this for a long time before finishing it. Look at my hands; they are covered in needle marks." The junior sister raised her hands and presented them before Xiao Feng. Her fingers were dotted with bright red blood spots.
Master! It is Master! Xiao Feng raised his head in panic, and the scene before him struck him like a bolt from the blue. In the embrace of the Master lay his little junior sister, quietly resting as if in a deep sleep
Of course, the elder sacrificed his life to save the fate of Master Lintai. When Master Lintai created the Qimen, Daoxuan's merits were fulfilled, and he was chosen by the heavenly realm, thus ascending at the peak of Qimen. However, before his ascension, Daoxuan predicted the calamity that would occur a thousand years later, leaving behind the most mysterious ascension hexagram in the history of the martial world. Within this ascension hexagram lies the most enigmatic principles of fate in the universe. Don't you want to know?
Bang! He suddenly stomped his right foot. The golden mist floating around the eight pairs of footprints was stirred up into wild ripples, whistling as it soared towards the sky. The surrounding scenery suddenly vanished completely. Encircling the little boy was a pristine and ethereal starry sky, where the golden mist converged into the ancient twenty-eight constellations, shimmering and glowing in the air
Little Feng... Little Junior Sister took a deep breath, staring blankly at Little Feng.
Little Junior Sister!" Little Feng exclaimed in terror, his voice hoarse from shouting
"Junior Sister! Junior Sister, she..." Xiao Feng exclaimed in a hoarse voice
At dawn, he found a embroidered shoe washed ashore on the pebble beach by the lake. The embroidered shoe of his junior sister.
All our hopes at Qimen are pinned on you. Can you grow up sooner, understand things earlier, and refrain from doing foolish things that only a child would do? Think it through carefully! The master's final words were like a branding iron, mercilessly searing into Sui Feng's heart. He gritted his teeth desperately, nervously repeating every word and phrase of the master.
In the desolate valley of Lintai Peak, his terrified and helpless echoes resounded, resembling a dirge emanating from the depths of hell
What is this? "The junior sister asked excitedly
"Master, I feel so ashamed..." Xiao Feng suddenly knelt down on the ground, his head striking the cobblestone by the lake, blood bursting forth from his forehead
Little Junior Sister?!" The young boy turned his head in surprise and exclaimed
Haha, that old fellow went out to take care of business today and has no time to pay attention to us. Xiao Feng Ge had a mischievous smile on his face
Hahaha... the excited laughter of Xiao Feng beside her brought her a sense of tranquility
"Little Junior Sister ... ... Little Junior Sister ... ..." He crawled weakly onto the shore, using all four limbs to reach the edge of the embroidered shoes, grabbing them tightly in his hand, his whole body trembling like sifted chaff. An ominous premonition weighed heavily on his heart, and he felt as if he was about to be crushed into pieces
Ah—" She let out a thrilling and excited scream, feeling dizzy and entranced.
I want to remember today! For all eternity, I must never forget the mistakes I have made. I will not make the same mistakes again! Master! I will not make the same mistakes again! The entire Lin Tai Peak valley echoed with Sui Feng's mournful and desolate howl
