As long as no one can ascend, the spiritual energy and resources on the continent will remain in a state of depletion. Only when a cultivator can ascend can a portion of the spiritual energy be replenished at the moment the ascension passage is opened.

If one ascends to immortality in the upper realm, one can even give back a portion of their fortune and spiritual energy.

However, if no one ascends to immortality, their region will become the weakest cultivation world. If any external enemies then come to cause trouble, it will be impossible to stop them.

Xu Yuling also sighed, but she knew that these problems were beyond their current ability to solve.

She turned to Si'er and smiled, "Aren't we trying to help Little Leiling find her mother? Can Little Leiling activate her senses here?"

Si Er placed the little thunder spirit in his palm: "Can you do it?"

"No." Little Thunder Spirit was very honest. "This is a place for demonic cultivators. The surrounding area is full of dark power, which will interfere with my judgment."

"I think I need a place with a slightly denser spiritual energy, and it would be even better if the lightning attribute was also stronger."

Si Er looked at the two girls: "Do you two know of a place like this?"

Qianqiu smiled and said, "I know that. I'll take you there directly."

"Alright."

Si Er trusted Qian Qiu, but he didn't expect Qian Qiu to teleport them directly to the Sword and Saber Sect.

Si Er and the others, who suddenly appeared on the training ground: ? ? ?

The disciples practicing swordsmanship together in the training ground: ? ? ?

A young disciple on the left, wielding a sword, couldn't help but shout, "Senior Brother Lin, someone has trespassed into our Sword and Saber Sect!"

The young disciple on the right, holding a knife, also shouted, "Senior Brother Meng, someone has trespassed into our Sword and Saber Sect!"

The two chief disciples of the Sword and Saber Sect, Lin Zhu and Meng Duo, arrived one after the other and were stunned when they saw Si Er and the others.

"Fellow Daoist Si and Fellow Daoist Yu, what brings you here?"

"Miss Feng and Miss Xu, what brings you here? Are you aware that many people have been anonymously searching for you lately?"

“There are also people pressuring the Feng and Xu families to hand you two over.”

Si Er couldn't help but slap Qian Qiu: "Why did you send us here? Weren't we supposed to be hiding our identities?"

Qianqiu laughed and said, "Don't worry, this is the inner disciples' training ground, there won't be any problems."

"The disciples of the Sword and Saber Sect are not talkative people; they devote most of their energy to swords."

"Moreover, the top sets the example for the bottom. As long as the leaders at the top don't get involved in those messy things, the people below will be even less likely to bring it up."

"Young friends, your sect probably doesn't intend to get involved in this matter, does it?"

Lin Zhu shook his head: "Of course not. Senior Qianqiu is here to see the Hengshan Patriarch, right? He is currently in seclusion within the sect. Would you like us to inform him?"

Qianqiu waved its forelimbs and said, "No need, no need. I came here to borrow your Thunder Pool. We have a little spirit beast here that wants to temper its body."

"I see. Please follow me, senior."

Meng Duo tugged at Lin Zhu's sleeve: "You're agreeing just like that? Don't you need to ask the sect leader and the others again?"

Lin Zhu said calmly, "It's a small matter. With the relationship between Senior Qianqiu and the Hengshan Ancestor, my master and the others will not refuse."

The key point is that refusing wouldn't have made a difference, would it? Given Qianqiu's abilities and temperament, if they don't lend it to them, does that mean the other party can't get in?

That would only make things more awkward, so it's better to agree from the start.

After all, the other party meant no harm, and they wouldn't suffer any losses. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
