Chapter 448 The Ruthless Immortal Venerable and His Resentful Husband, the Supreme God 07

"You're awake. Wait outside. I'm dressing your father," Chi Jinhan called out to the door.

Chi Xiaobao was speechless.

Why would I show off to him? It's pointless.

After giving the person a warning glare, Yu Sheng let him change into a blue robe.

After opening the door, the two saw Chi Xiaobao carrying a large food box, which contained three dishes, a soup, and a bowl of white porridge.

"Father, Xiao Bao made all of these!" Chi Xiao Bao's face practically screamed, "Praise me!"

"Wow, my little one is amazing!"

Chi Xiaobao's proud little chin was practically pointing to the sky, making Chi Jinhan feel a pang of jealousy.

"It's all because I taught him well. I taught him all of these, and my cooking is much tastier than his."

Yes, our Lord God is just that love-struck, indiscriminately attacking everyone except himself and Yu Sheng, including Chi Xiaobao.

She's even jealous of her own son; that's pretty outrageous.

The strong smell of vinegar made Yu Sheng feel nauseous.

Chi Xiaobao was even more of a spoilsport: "Father, don't listen to your father's nonsense. All he does is hold you in the icy cave all day. I learned all of this from books."

Yu Sheng glared at him instantly.

Faced with his wife's murderous gaze, Chi Jinhan dared not utter a sound and silently ate his rice.

Chi Jinhan didn't enjoy the meal at all.

He shouldn't have been moved before; he was moved too early. This kid was waiting for him here.

"So, back in the small world, you were so angry because Feng Ciye hit a nerve?"

Chi Jinhan nodded expressionlessly.

Yes, that's why he wanted to beat up Feng Ciye back then.

How dare a clone laugh at his original self? They're still the same person, what's so funny? In the end, isn't he still himself?

888: Lord God, you know this too, so why do you get jealous of the clones when they're on you?

"Chi Jinhan, I don't even want to talk about you."

Chi Jinhan: If he is guilty, please treat him in a different way, instead of letting him die.

"Wife, please stop talking..." He felt like his face was almost buried in the bowl.

After finishing the meal, Chi Xiaobao said, "By the way, Father, Uncle Zuo came to see you this morning. He seemed to have something to discuss with you, and he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry."

Although Master Zuo was in a hurry, in Chi Xiaobao's eyes, nothing was more important than his father eating.

Moreover, he didn't think anything major could happen in Zuo Yunjian.

Yu Sheng also frowned. He thought the same as Chi Xiaobao, not believing that Zuo Yunjian, this idle sect leader, could have any important matters to discuss with him.

But since my senior brother has spoken, I'll go. What if it really is something important?

Yu Sheng arrived at the Sect Master's Hall with her family, and Zuo Yunjian seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing the three of them enter together, Zuo Yunjian paused for a moment, but didn't pay much attention. He quickly walked towards Yu Sheng, excitedly saying, "Junior brother, you're finally awake..."

"Senior brother, is there something important you need me for?"

Zuo Yunjian nodded with a melancholy expression. "Of course there was. Junior brother, didn't you come back from the dead? And then, a few sects started to have wicked ideas."

Back then, Yu Sheng's soul was shattered beyond recognition, and no one believed that Chi Jinhan could bring her back to life. But seven years later, Yu Sheng returned alive and well. How could they not be moved?

If there really were a secret method that could bring people back to life, they would naturally want it too.

If they could revive their sect's long-dead ancestor, wouldn't their sect become the number one sect in the cultivation world?

That's what all those sects think.

Besides the Heavenly Sword Sect, the other eight major sects were all trying to get information from Zuo Yunjian by sending messages through the jade slip.

Some sects have even started threatening him.

He really had no choice; after all, he was a useless sect leader.

Yu Sheng was more than ten years older than him, so they could be considered peers. However, Yu Sheng had already reached the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending Stage. If it weren't for the accident that happened before, he should have already ascended to immortality.

He had been stuck in the mid-stage of Mahayana for who knows how many years. He was afraid that when his lifespan ended, he might not be able to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Not to mention, there are very few cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage in the cultivation world now.

Those who survive are the sect's trump cards.

If Yu Sheng hadn't had that accident, their sect wouldn't have been pulled down from its position as the number one in the cultivation world.

"They even threatened me! Junior brother, please save my life!"

"Heh, you're quite shrewd, actually threatening you? Don't you know how to threaten back? How can you be so useless?" Chi Jinhan gave Zuo Yunjian a disdainful look from head to toe. "I remember you were already in the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm seven years ago. How come you're still only in the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm after seven years?"

Zuo Yunjian: "..."

Do you think I really want to stay in the middle stage of Mahayana Buddhism forever? It's just because I can't break through it at all.

“Immortal Chi, perhaps a genius like you is unaware of the cultivation speed of ordinary people.”

"But why do I remember that you seemed to have stayed in the Mahayana stage for a hundred years?"

Zuo Yunjian was speechless.

He was clearly in a low mood.

Yu Sheng suddenly said, "Senior brother, do you really think of yourself as an ordinary person?"

"Otherwise what? I am different from you geniuses with heavenly spiritual roots, so my cultivation speed will naturally be much slower."

“Wrong,” Yu Sheng shook his head. “Senior brother, I vaguely remember that back then, the eldest brother of the Sword Sect was a man of great renown. Although he did not have a Heavenly Spiritual Root, he became the number one cultivator in the cultivation world that year because of his Golden Spiritual Root. How glorious he was.”

"Perhaps you, senior brother, have long forgotten that back then, you were someone many people looked up to, including me when I first joined the sect."

"Senior brother, your talent is not bad, but why are people your age already close to the threshold of the Tribulation Transcending stage, while you are still struggling in the mid-stage of the Mahayana stage? Have you thought about this, senior brother?"

Back then, Zuo Yunjian truly deserved the title of the number one cultivator in the cultivation world.

But everything changed after he took over as sect leader.

The position of sect leader has never really suited him.

But the Sword Sect could no longer find a second person as suitable as Zuo Yunjian to be its sect leader.

If Zuo Yunjian hadn't succeeded as sect leader, he might have already broken through to the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

"Senior brother, your talent is not bad. You are just held back by the position of sect leader."

Among the geniuses of his generation, only he succeeded to the position of sect leader. The sect leader is responsible for the affairs of the sect, and managing such a large sect is naturally not easy.

That's why Zuo Yunjian neglected his cultivation and fell far behind others.

Yu Sheng's words completely awakened Zuo Yunjian.

When Zuo Yunjian heard the title "Number One Person in the Cultivation World," he was momentarily dazed.

The Sword Sect's senior brother, who could break through all laws with a single sword strike, seemed to be right before his eyes.

Yes, how glorious he was back then!

If it weren't for the fact that the position of sect leader slowed down his cultivation speed, he might already be the second Immortal Venerable of the Sword Sect.

Zuo Yunjian seemed to have an epiphany, and his mind cleared up. His cultivation, which had been stuck in the middle stage of Mahayana, actually loosened up, as if he could break through at any moment.

Zuo Yunjian was both surprised and delighted.

"Senior brother, given your current situation, it would be best for you to go into seclusion and break through as soon as possible. As for the other sects, we'll take care of them. Also, you need to think about the next sect leader for the Sword Sect as soon as possible."

For him, the sooner he gets rid of the position of sect leader, the sooner he can break free from the shackles.

"Alright, alright, then I'll go into seclusion first. You and Junior Nephew Luo can take full charge of the sect's affairs."

After explaining these things, Zuo Yunjian hurriedly went to the back mountain to cultivate in seclusion.

Perhaps, when he emerges from his seclusion, he will be at the late stage of Mahayana Buddhism.

"Uncle-Master, Immortal Master Chi, where is my master?" Luo Yanqiu had something to ask Zuo Yunjian about cultivation, but unexpectedly received the news that Zuo Yunjian had gone into seclusion.

"Seclusion? That's great! Master will finally be able to break through to the late Mahayana stage."

Luo Yanqiu seemed very happy for Zuo Yunjian.

"Not only that, your master's purpose in going into seclusion this time is also to select the next sect leader of the Sword Sect."

Luo Yanqiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"That's good too. Master has been bogged down in sect affairs for many years. If it weren't for that, he might already be a Celestial Venerable in the Tribulation Transcending stage!"

Yu Sheng sighed deeply, "Who can argue with that?"
