Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 536: The Heart of Heaven and Earth Emperor Tree

Clouds cover the cold moon, the stage is in the fog, and the world and mountains are covered with dust!

On the moon-viewing platform of the Moon-Watching Tower in the Ji family’s imperial city in Zhongzhou, a solitary figure stands alone, motionless from sunrise to sunset!

This person is none other than Ji Qingfeng, the leader of the righteous path!

Ji Qingfeng returned to the Ji family's imperial city in Zhongzhou and came here. Perhaps he just wanted to get some hints from his father!

It’s strange to say, ever since Ji Qingfeng’s father brought him to the Moon-Viewing Platform and saw everything about the Ji family, whenever Ji Qingfeng had something on his mind, he would always come to the Moon-Viewing Platform alone to think quietly!

Ji Qingfeng already knew that the Emperor Tree had dropped its yellow leaves, but he first learned about it from Xuantian Pavilion!

"The Emperor's leaves fall, the world is in calamity, the nine springs flow, life and death are just a thought!"

When Xuantian Pavilion sent a message to the cultivation world, Ji Qingfeng was still on his way back to the Zhongzhou Imperial City. This was his own choice. Since he became the head of the family, he never traveled again, so when he returned from the Jiuchong Tower, he deliberately slowed down his journey!

Ji Qingfeng wanted to see the path he had walked when he was young, but what good was it? He could no longer find the feeling he had back then!

After returning to the Ji family's imperial city in Zhongzhou, Ji Qingfeng did not go anywhere and went straight to the moon-viewing platform in the Moon-Watching Tower!

There were many things going on in the meeting at the Nine-Storied Tower, but Ji Qingfeng only understood one thing! That was why his father chose his eldest brother Ji Qingyun, while the others in the Ji family chose him!

Alas, the reason is simple and cruel!

Because he is just a puppet, and those who support him are the ones who pull the strings, but his elder brother Ji Qingyun is not a puppet!

The funny thing is that when his elder brother Ji Qingyun was the patriarch, Ji Qingfeng always thought that his elder brother was a puppet at the mercy of others. But today, more than ten years after he ascended to the position of patriarch, Ji Qingfeng realized that he was the puppet he had endlessly mocked, and an ignorant puppet at that!

On the way back from Jiuchong Tower, why did Ji Qingfeng go looking for his past? He just wanted to know when he became someone else's puppet. Until the moment he stepped onto the moon-viewing platform of Wangyue Tower, Ji Qingfeng finally woke up!

Perhaps from the moment he had the ambition to become the head of the family, he had already been marked:

"Ji Qingfeng is a controllable puppet!"

On the moon-observation platform, Ji Qingfeng looked at the sky, the stars, the Ji family's imperial city, and his own heart. He was looking for who was controlling the puppet. He looked and searched for a whole day, but the final result was just like this moon-observation platform in the clouds. He could only see the platform itself, but could not see through anything else!

Ji Qingfeng somewhat understood what his father meant!

"When you see something other than the Ji family, then you are worthy of sitting on the seat of the Patriarch of the Ji family!"

His father wanted him to see him clearly on the moon viewing platform! As for whether there were other meanings, Ji Qingfeng still couldn't figure it out, but Ji Qingfeng was very pleased that after being the head of the family for more than ten years, he finally began to touch his father's heart!

Now Ji Qingfeng is going to look and think little by little in this cloud and mist what the real Ji family looks like!

Over the years, he had seen the majestic and magnificent imperial city, the continuous prosperity of the government, his own contented heart, and the fact that he was stronger than his elder brother Ji Qingyun. All of this was an illusion. It was not the Ji family at all. At best, it was just a beautiful dream of his own! And this dream was still illusory!

"Father, from today on, I will walk into the fog of the Ji family, to see clearly the Thirteenth Feather of the Ji family, to see clearly my eldest brother Ji Qingyun!"

During the meeting at the Jiuchonglou, Ji Qingfeng understood another thing. After being brothers for decades, he suddenly realized that he didn't know his elder brother Ji Qingyun at all. But Ji Qingfeng believed that his elder brother Ji Qingyun knew him very well! He even knew the Ji family!

"Brother, what will you see when you look at the Ji family from this moon viewing platform?"

Ji Yichen was still alive, and Ji Qingfeng's first reaction was that Ji Qingyun was definitely not dead! As for Shen Surong, he was not sure!

Ji Qingfeng even had a feeling that what happened thirteen years ago might have been directed at Shen Surong. This was just a feeling in his heart, without any cause or consequence!

Then what about his elder brother Ji Qingyun? There has been no news for more than ten years. This is another fog around Ji Qingfeng, and it hangs high above his head. For some reason, Ji Qingfeng thought of the strange Ji Xuanfeng who disappeared for five hundred years!

"Ji Xuanfeng, Ji Qingyun, Ji Yichen, the Thirteenth Feather of the Ji Family, what exactly are you all planning? Are all the family heads of previous generations puppets of the Ji Family's power balance?"

Ji Qingfeng really couldn't guess, the thirteen feathers of the Ji family are all feathers, but the Ji family has stood for a thousand years. Perhaps it is really because of the existence of this family head!

The strange thing is that Ji Qingfeng really can't see through what he, the head of the family, is doing? On the surface, he can mobilize all the forces of the Ji family, and they do obey his orders, but Ji Qingfeng feels that he cannot mobilize all the forces!

How could Ji Qingfeng figure out a problem that he hadn't figured out for more than ten years in just one day?

When the rising sun dispelled the clouds and mist on the moon viewing platform, Ji Qingfeng murmured to himself:

"Who will be the rising sun that illuminates the Ji family? Who will help me dispel the fog of the Ji family?"

For some reason, a child appeared in Ji Qingfeng's mind!

Waterside pavilion, chess gallery, fresh air and fragrant flowers!

"Chen'er, what are you doing?"

"Uncle Feng, Uncle Feng, my father told me that this is the heart of heaven and earth. Do you think I should place the black piece or the white piece?"

"Chen'er, even Uncle Feng, who doesn't know how to play chess, knows that the black piece should be placed first!"

"That's not right! My father said that the heart of heaven and earth can be both black and white. He asked me to think this through before thinking about how to play chess. If I follow what you said, then what should my father ask me to think about?"

"Chen'er, Uncle Feng really doesn't understand!"

The moon-viewing platform is full of brilliant rays of light!

"Brother, you actually brought Chen'er into the game of the world, but I want to know, is he the chess piece in your heart of heaven and earth? Do you think Chen'er is the black chess piece or the white chess piece? What is Chen'er thinking in his heart, can you calculate it correctly?"

Ji Qingfeng found the rising sun that illuminated the Ji family. Ji Yichen might be just like him, a chess piece in the game of the world, but the distinction between black and white is not determined by the chess player. He has to decide for himself!

"Chen'er, Uncle Feng also hopes that you can distinguish between black and white before entering the chess game. No, maybe it would be better if you could distinguish between black and white after entering the chess game!"

A smile finally appeared on Ji Qingfeng's face, and he walked down the moon-viewing platform step by step!

Ji Qingfeng never thought that the Moon-Viewing Platform in Wangyue Tower was the only pure land his father left for him!

Ji Qingfeng didn't know that the Moon Viewing Platform in the Moon Viewing Tower was the center of the Ji Family's Imperial City! He didn't know that the Emperor Tree he was going to see was the true heart of heaven and earth! Not only did he not know, but there were probably very few people in this world who knew!

The emperor's fall brings disaster to the world!

What he meant was that if the Heart of Heaven and Earth had changed, then it would naturally be a disaster for the world! But who knew? Perhaps only Xuantian Pavilion, no, someone in the Ji family also knew, but as for who it was, it was even less known to outsiders!

Fengling Courtyard, under the Emperor Tree!

Ji Qingfeng looked at the falling yellow leaves with a heavy heart. Although he couldn't see through the Ji family, he was the head of the Ji family! The Emperor Tree was related to the life and death of the Ji family. Everyone knew it!

"Prison officer, do you really need the Qiankun Jade Pendant to enter Wujian Tower?"

"Qing Feng? You're back. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"wait for me?"

"Wujian Tower, there is still one person who can open it!"

Ji Qingfeng looked at the young man who was leaning against the Emperor Tree holding a grass in his mouth and was stunned. Of course, he couldn't understand this person!

First, why are you waiting for him?

Second, why did he never give in no matter how I asked him before, but gave in today?

"Five hundred years ago, Ji Xuanfeng, the peerless genius of your Ji family, saw that the Emperor Tree was going to decline. He left the Ji family to find a way to crack it, and the method he thought of was to reshape the real Qiankun Jade Pendant, open the Wujian Tower, and learn about the past of the Emperor Tree!"

Ji Qingfeng stood there in a daze!

Of course he didn't know this, because no one in the Ji family knew about it. However, apart from the man in front of him, Ji Xuanyan also knew about it! It's just that the Ji family didn't know about it!

The young man holding the grass in his mouth looked at the Emperor Tree which was still shedding leaves and sighed:

"Alas, what Ji Xuanfeng doesn't know is that even if there is a past of the Emperor Tree in Wujian Tower, so what? Can the Emperor Tree really be saved? Since the Emperor Tree has already declined, it means that it will be destroyed sooner or later. How can there be a way to save it in the past of destruction?"

The young man holding a grass in his mouth stroked the emperor tree, and he actually shed tears!

Ji Qingfeng is just an ignorant child, he is really at a loss!

Under the Emperor Tree, the young man holding a grass in his mouth fell into grief. Ji Qingfeng, the head of the Ji family, was really confused, bewildered, and shocked at the same time!

A cold wind blew, blowing off the leaves of the Emperor Tree and waking them up!

"Prison officer, why are you waiting for me?"

"It's not me who's waiting for you, but Ji Xuanyan who's asking me to wait for you. She's not in the Imperial City, and she might not even be in Zhongzhou!"

"What did you say? How is it possible?"

A leaf fell from the Emperor Tree and floated in the air, blocking the sight of the two!
