Chapter 362: Insights on Astras
So, they are uncle and nephew. Qin Sang had thought that Song Yi was Song Chengxian’s son.
"How are they doing now?"
Song Yi replied, "Grandmother is being taken care of by my mother and a few elders; she’s still in good health. As for Uncle... he passed away many years ago."
Song Chengxian is dead?
The last time Qin Sang had seen him, he had been a newborn baby. Now, hearing news of him again, he had already been gone for years.
Shopkeeper Wu had also grown old.
Having endured the trials of his journey through the Great Sui, Qin Sang merely sighed at the news. His heart, tempered by years of experience, no longer stirred as easily.
"Uncle was ambushed in the vast Yuncang Marshlands and suffered severe injuries. He barely made it home before his condition worsened. At that time, I was still very young. Despite his grave injuries, he held on just long enough to guide me onto the path of cultivation, and then..."
Song Yi's voice choked with emotion.
Qin Sang sighed lightly. Song Chengxian had not been particularly gifted. Though Qin Sang had left him a Foundation Building Pill along with some cultivation resources, the road of solitary cultivation must have been unbearably difficult.
The path of immortality was merciless—not only for Song Chengxian, but for countless others.
