Chapter 385 Sudden Enlightenment: Able to See Xiao Qingxuan's Fate Trajectory

The master said that the spiritual roots of ordinary cultivators are divided into five types: single spiritual root, double, triple, quadruple, and quintuple spiritual roots.

Historically, the top geniuses possessed exceptional spiritual roots.

The most superior spiritual root is called the Supreme Chaos Spiritual Root.

Yu Zhiyi didn't know what top-grade spiritual roots looked like; she only knew that her three spiritual roots were just ordinary in the cultivation world where experts were as numerous as hairs on a cow.

Many people with three spiritual roots, while not destined to fade into obscurity, lack the talent to become top-tier experts.

Having lived two lives, she has curbed her greed and no longer hopes to rise to the top in one step.

But her sudden realization had unexpectedly given rise to some delusional thoughts.

Unexpectedly, the delusion was just that—a delusion.

"Jin'er, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing her daughter's absent-minded look, Xiao Qingxuan became a little anxious.

Ever since her daughter came back, she has remained completely unfazed, even if Mount Tai collapses before her.

She sometimes even felt that her daughter was more composed and dignified than her deceased father-in-law.

But her daughter was either lost in thought or had a forlorn look in her eyes today, which made it hard for Xiao Qingxuan not to overthink things.

Yu Zhiyi composed herself: "I'm fine, I just figured some things out."

What isn't hers will never be hers; you can't force it.

Especially since talent is something that is determined at birth, if it were really that easy to go from mediocre to genius, the world would probably be overflowing with geniuses long ago.

She looked at Xiao Qingxuan and suddenly froze.

Xiao Qingxuan was also taken aback: "Jin'er, you..."

Just as Yu Zhiyi was about to speak, she looked at Xiao Qingxuan's astonished expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

“Your eyes…” Xiao Qingxuan stared at Yu Zhiyi’s eyes in confusion.

She had just clearly seen a glimmer of gold in her daughter's eyes.

What happened?

She rubbed her eyes uncertainly, then looked closely for a while, and found that the clear eyes were still black and white. She shook her head: "It's probably just the reflection of the sun."

Yu Zhiyi didn't think much of it.

She's more concerned about something else now.

She could see through her mother's fate!

The laws of Heaven do not allow those in the Xuanmen (mystical arts) to see the fate charts of the Xuanshu master himself and his blood relatives.

She calculated for a moment with her hands hidden in her sleeve, but found that she still couldn't figure out the trajectory of her fate.

But she clearly saw Xiao Qingxuan's fate.

Is this the benefit of sudden enlightenment?

She looked around again and felt that everything had a mysterious quality to it, as if she could see their future trajectory if she wanted to.

Moreover, she also had a mysterious feeling.

Although she cannot predict the trajectory of her own destiny, she can vaguely sense how things will unfold if something happens that concerns her.

"Mother, let's go back."

Xiao Qingxuan was curious about her daughter's suddenly relaxed expression, but since her daughter didn't bring it up, she didn't ask.

When the two returned to the mountain, Jiang Yuchuan, Tang Mingxuan, and the others were frantic with worry.

Last night they caught a few people who wanted to harm Yu Zhiyi, one of whom even tore up the teleportation talisman and ran away.

As a result, Yu Zhiyi mysteriously disappeared this morning, making it hard for them not to think the worst.

Yu Zhiyi explained, "I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I set up a defensive array."

As he spoke, he handed the array flags that controlled the formation to Jiang Yuchuan and carefully explained how to operate the formation.

Jiang Yuchuan learns things very quickly, and it wasn't long before he could control the formation with ease.

He was not a member of the Xuanmen sect and could not use the defensive formation to lock down those who dared to trespass, but he could vaguely sense the aura emanating from them.

In addition, he can also actively release the energy hidden within the formation to attack intruders.

This arrangement was made to prevent the Hidden Realm Gao family from making alterations.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Zhiyi took out the last invisibility talisman.

She doesn't know how to draw invisibility talismans; these were left to her by her master for self-defense before he passed away.

Before coming to the Martial Alliance, she didn't have much hope for these relatives, so she left the other three invisibility talismans and one attack talisman left by her master to Hongluan.

As she was about to leave, she suddenly understood the reluctance, worry, and concern that parents feel when watching their children travel far away.

On her way back up the mountain, she kept thinking about whether she had left enough things. If the Gao family discovered something in advance, would the defensive formation and the talismans she left behind be enough to deal with them?

The more I think about it, the more I feel it's not enough.

He also became increasingly dissatisfied with his own abilities.

Why didn't she create a more advanced defensive array?

Why couldn't she set up an advanced killing formation?

Why can't she draw attack symbols?

Why didn't she have a weapon that could withstand her full-force attack?

Wait...weapons?

She also possesses a hidden weapon capable of unleashing the full power of a peak Foundation Establishment realm expert.

She took out the hidden weapon and stuffed it into Jiang Yuchuan's hand.

Jiang Yuchuan had no idea how powerful the hidden weapon was, nor did he know that it was a precious magical artifact. He simply thought it was an ordinary self-defense tool given to him by his daughter, so he accepted it with a smile.

Tang Mingxuan was very reluctant to be the bad guy, but he had no choice but to step forward: "Sir, it's getting late. If we don't set off soon, we're afraid we won't be able to get back to Shengjing within three days."

Jiang Yuchuan wanted to hug his daughter, but she was already an adult and he could no longer treat her with the same intimacy as a child.

He could only pat Yu Zhiyi's head and forcefully say, suppressing his reluctance, "Take good care of yourself and your mother. I'll come to see you after I've finished things here."

He has made up his mind to take the burden off his shoulders.

Anyway, his eldest son is capable enough to stay and work for him.

And him.

He's almost fifty, what's wrong with him going to enjoy his retirement?

Not long after, when Jiang Yuwei received his younger brother's resignation letter and heard him explain the reason, his face immediately scrunched up like a chrysanthemum.

He'd been wary of this guy for decades, fearing that the old rascal would steal his position as leader of the alliance.

As a result, this old fellow abandoned the martial arts alliance in order to enjoy a warm bed with his wife and children.

Outrageous!

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Before leaving, Yu Zhiyi took out three defensive jade pendants and a defensive bracelet, and asked Jiang Yuchuan to give them to the Song family.

This can be considered as compensation for the favors they gave her, which went beyond the scope of saving her life.

Only after accepting these gifts were the karmic ties between them truly severed.

However, since these items were used to settle karmic debts, their functions were not as powerful as those she made for her own family. Whether it was the defensive jade pendant or the defensive bracelet, they could only withstand three fatal attacks.

After mounting her horse, Yu Zhiyi slapped her forehead: "Oh right, there's something I've been forgetting to ask. Father, do you know someone named Jiang Yufeng?"

Jiang Yufeng is Hongluan's father and a royal merchant in Suzhou.

Jiang Yuchuan shook his head: "I don't know it, but this name does seem to have a connection with me."

Yu Zhiyi nodded.

After her sudden enlightenment, she was able to see through the faces of her relatives.

She could see that there was no causal link between Jiang Yuchuan and Hongluan, indicating that the two were not related by blood.

But just in case the two families had some other connection, I still asked.

"It's getting late, let's go."

With a flick of her whip, she left her elderly father's reluctant face behind.

Shortly after Yu Zhiyi's convoy left, two figures emerged from behind a large tree not far from the foot of Mingshan Mountain.

Meanwhile, on Mingshan Mountain.

Du Ziheng, who had been placed in a guest room, opened his eyes.
