"Pa Pa Pa ?" The endless sounds of firecrackers, accompanied by the laughter of the children, resounded throughout the entire village.

New Year had arrived!

Time passed quickly. It had been five years since Dugu Yifeng arrived in this world. In these five years, Dugu Yifeng had already figured out just what sort of world he had come to.

This world was very, very big. Even the people who had reached this continent wouldn't be able to figure it out.

In the vast sea, no one knew what kind of existence was at the end of the sea while to the north was Extreme North Snow Peak. No one had ever been able to cross the entire Snow Region of Extreme Ice, and what corresponded together was in the Scarlet Flame Desert in the southern part of the continent.

As for the eastern part of the continent, it was the largest forbidden zone on the entire continent ? the Boundless Forest! The Endless Forest, but it was not really without an end. No one had ever been able to see the other side of the forest! This was because this was an area that had been occupied by strange beasts. Yes, strange beasts!

This was a continent with an ancient history. On this continent, people respected martial arts, and they relied on cultivation techniques to resist the invasion of strange beasts, as well as cultivation techniques to surround their home!

This continent was somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese dynasty. However, in the long history of China, there had never been a dynasty where military might was so prevalent. There had also never been a dynasty where strange beasts actually appeared.

Ahh!

When Dugu Yifeng first heard of the existence of strange beasts, he was shocked. He was just like a demon in the mythological era!

There were three empires on this continent: the Kingdom of Zi Yan near the Scarlet Flame Desert, the Ice and Snow Divine Kingdom at the foot of the Arctic Mountain Range, and the continent's most powerful Eastern Emperor Kingdom. These three empires were all founded by the strongest people on the continent. These three empires were founded by the strongest experts who had made impressive achievements while guarding the Sacred War. They had countless followers under their command.

After his first victory in defending the Sacred War, Emperor Ziyan established the Kingdom of Zi Yan. He will forever guard the Scarlet Flame Desert, blocking the invasion of the desert's fire beasts. A thousand years later, the Snow Queen led the continent and won the second Holy War. She also established the Ice and Snow Divine Kingdom under the Ice and Snow Godly Mountain.

The Eastern Kingdom was not established during the third Great War of the Guards. The third Great War of the Eastern Kingdom took place two thousand years later, and after two thousand years of recovery, the strength of the strange beasts had increased greatly. This caused the humans to suffer a crushing defeat in this war.

After decades of war, the Eastern Emperor was born. In just a few short decades, his martial prowess had reached the state of Creation, leading his followers to resist the invasion of strange beasts. In the end, the strange beasts were defeated and retreated to the forbidden lands.

After the war, the Eastern Emperor established an empire. He gathered the hearts of the people, and the continent returned to peace and quiet. However, in this war, the human race suffered great losses, and the population greatly decreased. Countless sects were exterminated, and the number of experts decreased. The entire continent's vitality was severely damaged, and even after a thousand years, there still wasn't much of a recovery.

"..."

"Mother," Dugu Yifeng went up to welcome his mother when he saw her coming out of the hall. Seeing that her son had come over, Shangguan Xue Tong suppressed the doubts in her heart and walked over.

Looking at Dugu Yifeng's red ears, Shangguan Xue Tong hastily exhaled two breaths of hot air into her hands before using her hands to cover her son's ears.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Yifeng's heart warmed as he said, "Mother, it's fine. It's not cold."

"Child, your ears are red from the cold and you still say it's not cold?" Shangguan Xue Tong's face showed a blaming expression, but her heart was a bit sad.

"If it weren't for Li Xing's family secretly playing tricks on us, we wouldn't even have a child ?" Seeing Dugu Yifeng being so sensible, Shangguan Xue Tong's heart ached a little, but at the same time, she felt a little gratified. This child of hers had been very obedient since childhood and had never caused any trouble for the family.

"Mother, who were those people who came to visit just now? It seems like I've never seen them before ?" Dugu Yifeng saw the pain in his mother's eyes and quickly changed the topic.

"Oh, oh, those are your uncles. They all live in East Rock City. Today is New Year, so they came to visit your father." Shangguan Xue Tong answered.

"But why haven't they come to our house before during the new year? We don't usually see them here either." Dugu Yifeng was clearly puzzled as he hurriedly opened his mouth to speak.

"You little ghost, why do you care about so many things? You're a scum!" Shangguan Xue Tong laughed and scolded, but in her heart she was even more anxious. "That's right, these are the spies my husband arranged in the city. They basically won't come back unless it's important. Just what happened?!"

Dugu Yifeng saw that his mother did not answer his question and did not pester him too much. In his heart, however, he started to calculate, and his own training plan was about to begin.

In these six years, Dugu Yifeng did not cultivate. After learning the lessons from his previous life, Dugu Yifeng decided that in this life, he must build a firm foundation, step by step, to be steady and steady. Thus, in the six years of his rebirth, he had always been doing three things: sleeping, eating, and reading books.

Sleep, at first glance, did not seem to be related to the foundation of martial arts. However, Dugu Yifeng understood that sleep was very important. The process of human development occurs during sleep. Without a good sleep, wanting to have a good body is definitely a delusion. Cultivating martial arts is actually a process of accumulating essence and nourishing Qi. Sleep is the best way to convert the essence that we consume every day into the essence energy of the human body. One had to know that even if one's martial arts had reached a superb level, it still required sleep.

Second, eating was the best way for the human body to train during the early stages of development. After all, if one's body started to develop and started practicing martial arts, it was easy for problems to arise.

Firstly, children were too young, and they did not fully understand the teachings of adults. It was very easy for problems to arise during the course of cultivation. Secondly, the nature's spirit energy was too violent, and for a child too young, the strength of the body was too weak. This kind of crude nature spirit energy entering the body directly caused great harm to the child's body.

However, feeding was a very gentle method, and the essence energy contained in the food was very mild. It was very suitable for children to eat. When the body had reached a certain level of growth, the Profound Qi contained in the food would only slightly enhance the strength of the body. At that time, it would be very suitable to practice a cultivation technique to absorb the Sky and Earth aura.

As for reading books, this was Dugu Yifeng's personal hobby. In his previous life, he had always lived with the old man without any playmates. The only companion he had was a book. The old man's pile of ancient books was about to be destroyed by him. At the same time, Dugu Yifeng also needed to read books to understand the continent's information and its local customs.
