After helping the two children bury their mother and grandmother, Ye Sisi asked, "Do you want to become cultivators?"

Little Zhou Liang's eyes lit up, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "Fairy sister, can my sister and I become immortals?"

Ye Sisi nodded: "I've checked, you all have spiritual roots."

Seeing that the two children were extremely excited, Ye Sisi timely poured cold water on them: "But you have to pass the test first."

Seeing that the two looked confused, Ye Sisi grabbed one of their wrists and whispered, "Close your eyes."

Ye Sisi observed the expressions of the two children. Zhou Xiaomei snapped out of her inner monologue in an instant, her large, clear eyes revealing a depth of purity, just like her own heart.

Ye Sisi nodded secretly. Although the younger one gets, the purer one's mind becomes, Zhou Xiaomei's mind is still so clear after experiencing all this. She is definitely a good prospect.

However, Zhou Liang's condition is not good; he is too resentful and it will be difficult for him to get out of this situation.

Ye Sisi was also afraid that something might happen, so she wanted to go in and pull his consciousness out of Xiao Zhouliang's inner world.

But she froze as soon as she went in.

The little Zhou Liang in front of me looks only one or two years old. Although he is dressed very simply, he is fair-skinned and chubby, and he is very cute when he smiles.

At this moment, Zhou Dazhuang was no longer full of hostility. He happily carried his son on his shoulders and spun him around. Little Zhou Liang's grandmother and mother also had smiles on their faces. The scene looked very beautiful.

The next moment, the scene shifts, and Xiao Zhouliang has grown up a bit, looking about three or four years old. But the father who used to carry him around the house has become a gambler and an alcoholic, and he beats and insults him every day.

He was too young and could only cry on the sidelines. Once, he even saw his gambling father about to throw his newborn sister into the river to drown her.

If he hadn't secretly brought his younger sister back, Zhou Xiaomei might have been gone.

The scene shifts again, and Zhou Liang is now nine years old. His gambling father, who disappeared for five years, has returned.

He strode in, looking at the dilapidated courtyard with disdain. Facing his excited mother and wife, he triumphantly reached out, and a fireball appeared in his hand.

"See? I'm an immortal now. I'll never let you suffer again."

Apart from the still somewhat bewildered Zhou Xiaomei, even Xiao Zhouliang was overjoyed. "Oh my god, from now on they can live a good life!"

Before their smiles could even fade, Zhou Dazhuang said, "To cultivate immortality, one must sever all emotions. Oh, you country bumpkins don't understand. Simply put, you are obstacles on my path to success. So, in order for me to become an immortal and bring glory to my ancestors, you'd better endure it and die."

Ye Sisi gritted her teeth as she watched. Although she knew that this bastard was worse than a pig or a dog, she still couldn't help but feel disgusted when she saw his face.

She thought she would witness Zhou Dazhuang committing murder, but instead, Zhou Dazhuang suddenly glared at Xiao Zhouliang with a ferocious expression and said, "Useless trash, what are you crying for?"

Zhou Dazhuang roared, then suddenly burst into wild laughter: "Hahahaha, for the sake of our father-son relationship, I'll give you a chance. As long as you commit suicide, I'll let them go."

Looking at the long sword that had rolled down in front of him, Zhou Liang picked it up blankly. He looked up at his grandmother and mother who were shouting for help, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

Even though a voice inside him told him that it was all fake, and that his grandmother and mother would never let him die because of him, what did it matter? If his death could save them, then he would die.

Before Zhou Liang could slit his throat, Ye Sisi directly awakened his consciousness and said to the two of them with a smile, "Welcome to the Heavenly Spirit Sect."

When Zhou Liang opened his eyes, he found four more ethereal immortals standing in front of him. He was especially shocked when he saw Lin Shuangluo and Ye Shubai.

"Senior Brother, how about that? Aren't I amazing? I've recruited two more tiger generals for our Heavenly Spirit Sect."

Su Jiuli stared at the two bean sprouts in silence for a long while before nodding.

With the two children joining her, Ye Sisi stopped traveling on her sword and instead took a flying boat. However, she kept her divine sense outward along the way, and she was particularly happy to see that every household had set up memorial tablets for them. Perhaps this world was worth living in after all.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Ye Sisi began a frenzied period of intense competition, only occasionally taking time to visit Bai Luochen's former cave dwelling.

Su Jiuli also entrusted most of the affairs to Chen Yue, who was already Su Jiuli's chief disciple and the future sect master of Tianling Sect.

Everyone felt quite reassured entrusting the Heavenly Spirit Sect to someone who could pass the test of the Purifying Glazed Pagoda. Furthermore, even if there were any changes in the future, as long as they had enough strength, they could take it back.

Ye Shubai and Ouyang Yanyu seemed to have been greatly stimulated, as their cultivation progressed extremely rapidly, both breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage. They were just one opportunity away from breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage.

Half a year passed like this, and Ye Sisi had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. She had to work hard to cultivate, and she believed that as long as her cultivation was sufficient, she would eventually understand some things and be able to see Bai Luochen again.

Because she found some information about the Immortal Tree, which is as immortal as its name suggests, Bai Luochen is not really dead; he is just in a temporary slumber. She believes that Bai Luochen will return once she retrieves certain items.

She thought life would continue peacefully until she broke through to the next level, when Duanmu Xin, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared.

He was still as elegant as ever, speaking and acting calmly and unhurriedly. When he saw Ye Sisi and the others, he was so happy that he showed eight teeth.

Ye Sisi and the others had mixed feelings when they saw him. This man was too mysterious. Even after all he had been through, his identity was still a mystery.

"Don't be so wary of me, I'm here to tell you all some good news."

Su Jiuli smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist Duanmu, please speak frankly."

Duanmu Xin gently tapped his palm with his folding fan: "It's so refreshing to talk to smart people."

"The good news is that Cangjing is now stable. There will be no more visitors from other worlds, nor will there be any more demons causing trouble. You no longer need to worry about anything if you want to go up there."

This is indeed good news, but can we believe it?

Looking into his deep-set eyes, Ye Sisi asked without the slightest fear, "Who exactly are you?"

In fact, she never really understood why the demons would help cultivators.

Moreover, this person exudes mystery in every way, and she even felt that the young man in front of her was more dangerous than the unseen and intangible Heavenly Dao.
