They had now reached the outer region, after passing through the central region.
Feng Ying turned her head up, looked at her father, "What did you ask me to do? Ordinarily.. I'm not allowed to get out of the core. Not even Brother Lian is allowed to go to this outer region." Said with the innocent face of the little boy towards Zhang Jiangwu.
"Lian'er will also come here. But not now Ying'er." Zhang Jiangwu said flatly.
"Why?" Said Feng Ying with her head tilted.
"Color she just turned 7. He will be 8 years old after 2 months." Zhang Jiangwu said as he stroked Feng Ying's head.
Feng Ying held her chin, "I am younger than Lian's sister. I'm 6 years old. But I can go to this place."
Zhang Jiangwu lowered his hand from above Feng Ying's head. She aligned herself with Feng Ying's small body, "Do you know, why do you allow you to go to this place now?"
Feng Ying shook her head with a puzzled look. Zhang Jiangwu again said, "The reason is because I want to train you to cultivate, also practice physical so that you can open your own gates that are always in every border of the region. You know that gate is no ordinary gate, right, Ying'er?"
Feng Ying nodded, "Father is right. The gate is heavy."
Zhang Jiangwu nodded, "The gate can only be opened with physical strength. If one used his Qi to open the gate, then it would be free. Because the gate will absorb that Qi. Father already explained what cultivation and Qi were to you back then. So, you must understand what I'm saying."
Feng Ying nodded in understanding. "So if I want to get out of the core region or go back inside, I need to have a strong physique in order to push that gate?"
Zhang Jiangwu nodded and smiled faintly, "Pad's son is indeed smart."
Feng Ying seemed to be thinking, "But when we are about to enter the middle region of the core region, why do I feel a little bit of father pressure? It's different when we get out of the middle region into the outer region."
"Color on the border of the core and central region is indeed different. The tunnel leading to the gate had a killing aura. Father protected you with the Qi earlier and father also somewhat loosened the protective Qi on you so that you could also feel a hint of that killing aura. Now you know how that killing aura is, right?"
Feng Ying nodded, "Scarying and suppressing."

Feng Ying was now taken by her father again to a waterfall. He was even told to sit on a rock that was right under a rushing waterfall. With this little body of his, how could he survive there?
"At that time, you said you wanted to be very strong. Then you should sit on that rock." Zhang Jiangwu pointed at a rock that was right under the waterfall.
Feng Ying looked at her father doubtfully, "But the waterfall was extremely swift. I can't possibly hold on, Dad.."
"You said you wanted to be strong. The road to achieving it is not easy. Are you going to give up straight away to become strong, Ying'er.. Just because of this little problem?" Zhang Jiangwu's. Now, his tone seemed cold.
Feng Ying herself was somewhat surprised by the change in her father's nature. Never once had his father shown such a cold look to him in person. But now? What the hell's going on? Feng Ying asked inwardly regarding the change in her father's attitude.
Feng Ying swallowed her saliva and was somewhat frightened when she saw that gaze of her father. He immediately nodded obediently, not wanting to make his father angry.
Zhang Jiangwu was being firm and cold like this as well to Feng Chao after his son started practicing. That's because, he does not want to continue to pamper his children and want them to have a personality, as well as mentally strong. If not trained since childhood, then one day when they are scolded and yelled at just once, then their mentality will immediately fall. They will be a very private person.
"good. Now, go to the top of the stone and cultivate there. I'll give you instructions from here." Zhang Jiangwu's.
Feng Ying immediately complied and went to the rock below the waterfall.
The rushing water continued to splash on Feng Ying's body from above. Even several times his small body fell into the lower water from where he sat to cultivate. It was not just that that made Feng Ying feel tormented. But also because of the cold water that is in the waterfall does not play. It's cold like frozen ice.
Feng Ying was trying to focus on the natural energy around. But he couldn't do it. He was always alert and afraid at the same time. He was alert to the swiftness of the waterfall that could have dropped him back. He was afraid that his father would get angry again when he fell down. And now, he's very cold. All of that made Feng Ying unable to focus. It felt like Feng Ying was leaving this place immediately. But can't. His father would never let that happen.
"Focus with energy all around!" Zhang Jiangwu said using Qi, for his voice to be heard by Feng Ying.
In fact, Feng Chao, his first child, did not train in this way when he was practicing cultivation. He would only take his son to a safe cave and have a lot of Qi to absorb.
Zhang Jiangwu's treatment of Feng Chao and Feng Ying was very different when viewed from the training given. Feng Chao could obtain a safe and quiet place while cultivating. While Feng Ying? He had to fight hard to do it! Falling repeatedly from a high enough place, holding the cold that pierced the skin to its bones coupled with the noisy sound of the swift waterfall! How could Feng Ying focus and cultivate in this state?!
Zhang Jiangwu himself did more rigorous training on Feng Ying because he was worried about her son. Two reasons to train Feng Ying earlier and harder to train, because he had already guessed Feng Ying as the one who was in the prophecy. Second, because the child himself wants to be strong. Therefore, Zhang Jiangwu did all of this.
Zhang Jiangwu originally decided to train his children when they were 10 years old. However he was now making an exception for Feng Ying. Her first child, Feng Chao had just trained for 1 year. Then his daughter, a second child, Feng Lian, was 10 years old. So he had never trained Feng Lian at all at this moment.

"Focus.." Feng Ying muttered with a frown. His facial expression doesn't look good at the moment.
"How can we focus on cultivating, while around is a noisy place?"
"Follow the flow. Ignore the noisy surroundings and just focus on the Qi we absorb. However, that does not mean you have to completely ignore the circumstances around. Even if you are cultivating, you should also be sensitive to the surroundings. Maybe someone is taking a chance at a time like this. When you are focused on cultivating and are not vigilant, the enemy will immediately kill you.
The key to successfully cultivating is calmness.. No matter how noisy our place is.. We can do it. The reason it takes to cultivate is not a quiet place. But what we need is peace of heart, mind and ourselves."
The question he asked at the time was now back. He also remembered his father's words at the time. After recalling it, Feng Ying began to regulate her breathing and sat down in a more comfortable position.
The waterfall that sounded so noisy, now felt calmer to Feng Ying. The waterfall seems to go down more slowly. He also now does not fall again because he has positioned his body well. The water, which initially felt so cold, is now improving. His body was also not shivering as before.
Zhang Jiangwu was amazed that his son could cultivate under such a waterfall so quickly. Whereas when he trained at that place, he could not be like Feng Ying who only needed a few hours to be able to successfully cultivate. "He's very talented."
