Song Xia was completely stunned when she was chosen by the system; she couldn't understand it at all. She had never given birth, and her heart had long since turned to ice, so why was she chose...
The Shenyuan Sect's practice of infecting innocent ordinary people and using them as drug slaves was suppressed without causing any disturbance.
In the cultivation world, ordinary people already have a low status, let alone now that Qianli Island is in a critical situation. In the past, they were protected by cultivators, so what's wrong with making some contributions now?
Therefore, the commotion caused by these mortals did not have the slightest impact on the reputation of the Divine Origin Sect.
"Be more careful in the future," Fairy Su Mu said coldly. "When you're out in the world, you represent the face of the Divine Origin Sect."
"Yes." The two disciples were very respectful, but after taking their leave, they killed the troublemakers.
"We did this to save them, and they are so ungrateful."
"Exactly. Even though their loved ones are dead, didn't they have a chance to live? If we hadn't come, Qianli Island would have fallen sooner or later."
"It's a pity that we can no longer use the previous methods to obtain people for Fairy Su Mu's research. This will make things much more difficult for both of us."
"I don't care about the hardship, I'm just afraid that when we go to deal with these bitten people, we'll get infected ourselves. Senior brother, you've seen how potent that monster's poison is!"
As they spoke, they both shivered, their hearts pounding with uncontrollable fear.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We're still safer than our fellow disciples who went to kill monsters with Junior Brother Tianning and Junior Sister Tiankui."
While they were discussing this, the disciples of the Divine Origin Sect were besieged by monsters. Because the three elders were focused on Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui, they did not take good care of the remaining disciples, and one of them was scratched on the arm.
Recalling Fairy Su Mu's previous telepathic message, they all knew how serious it was to be scratched by a monster. As a result, this disciple turned pale on the spot, panicked, and started making a scene, completely lacking the composure that a disciple of a major sect should have.
"Quiet down! What kind of behavior is this!" one of the elders scolded. "Disciples of the Divine Origin Sect should be as calm as disciples of the Divine Origin Sect."
But the disciple couldn't calm down at all: "But Elder, Fairy Su Mu said before that there's no way to save her for now. Am I going to die?"
"Just because they can't be saved doesn't mean you can't be saved. I'll have two disciples take you to Fairy Su Mu as soon as possible."
Although the person was sent away, after this battle, the disciples of Shenyuan Sect became much more hesitant in battle, and no one wanted to become the second person to be bitten or scratched.
The three elders could only frown helplessly; they couldn't very well escort these people forward.
Seeing this, Shi Tiankui suggested, "Elder, this is Qianli Island's territory. They should be giving it their all while we assist from the sidelines. Why don't we have the Qianli Island cultivators lead the way and we guard the rear until my mother develops the antidote?"
“Elder, what Junior Sister Tiankui said makes sense. Why should we be the ones going through fire and water while they enjoy the fruits of our labor?”
"Yes, Elder, it is their homeland that they should contribute more. If it were our Shenyuan Sect's territory, we would definitely fight to the death. But this time we were just assisting."
Seeing their expressions, the three elders frowned. Was this the quality of the disciples of the Divine Origin Sect today? With the Heavenly Dao on the verge of destruction and disasters occurring frequently in various places, if these young disciples did not improve, how would they help Tian Ning and Tian Kui save the world in the future?
Shi Tiankui advised again: "Elder, it wasn't easy for the sect to cultivate everyone. Everyone's cultivation to this point is all thanks to the resources. If one of them is missing, wouldn't it be a waste of the sect's resources over the years?"
Seeing that the disciples all looked at Shi Tiankui with approval, the elders at the Integration Stage could only agree with her: "Alright, let's wait for the cultivators from Qianli Island to arrive before attacking these monsters. Let's rest for now."
"Thank you for your understanding, Elder."
Because of Shi Tiankui's persuasion, the disciples' impression of her improved considerably. They still thought that it was Junior Sister Tiankui who always thought of them.
Although Shi Tianning didn't say anything, he frowned.
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Shi Tiankui called out to him, and two of the elders also stood up immediately.
"I'll look around." Shi Tianning gripped his sword. Actually, he wanted to deal with the monsters by himself, thinking that he could eliminate as many as possible.
“Brother, do you know how dangerous it is for you to leave alone? Even if you don’t want to rest, you have to let the elders rest.”
Shi Tianning stopped in his tracks, and after a long while, he sat down in silence. He suddenly felt that the identity of a savior could sometimes be a constraint.
Since he was the savior predicted by the Nine Heavens Palace, shouldn't he be fighting to the death at the forefront to protect this world from disaster? Why does he need the protection of the elders every time he goes on an operation?
“Brother, we haven’t fully grown up yet. If we were at the Integration Stage, I wouldn’t stop you; I would go to war with you. But brother, the Nine Heavens Palace said we are their last hope. What if we perish because of our own impulsiveness? Wouldn’t that bring even worse consequences?”
Shi Tiankui sat beside him and patiently advised, "Brother, I know you're feeling bad, but do you think I'm feeling any better? If you want to save the world, you can't act impulsively."
Shi Tianning lowered his eyes: "I understand. Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless in the future."
"That's good." Shi Tiankui's face broke into a smile again.
After waiting for a long time, the cultivators from Qianli Island slowly returned. However, after learning that the cultivators from Shenyuan Sect had asked them to lead the charge, they were all extremely upset and frustrated, yet they couldn't voice their concerns. After all, Shenyuan Sect was the number one sect in the world, and these rogue cultivators couldn't afford to offend them. So they could only bite the bullet and go for it.
While Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui were trying to resolve the troubles on Qianli Island, Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi on the other side of the continent were having a smooth time. One day, they arrived at an ancient battlefield and fell into a legacy cave created by an ancient cultivator before his death.
Shi Liuchuan picked up a weapon, but unfortunately, due to the passage of time, the weapon had become a piece of junk.
"We left in too much of a hurry. The formation of this cave is not perfect, otherwise it could have retained some of its spirituality."
"Perhaps these ancient cultivators never imagined that their cave dwellings would only be discovered now."
"Huh?"
"Mother, what did you find?"
"There are still a few seeds that have preserved their vitality."
Shi Liuchuan picked it up. There were five seeds in total, and each one was different. Two of them were oval and blackish-gray in size, one was round and pure white, about the size of a little finger, one was orange-colored and shaped like a melon seed, and most amazingly, there was a fiery red seed that seemed to be warm to the touch.
"It must be because of this box that these seeds have been preserved and are still active."
"Mother, will it grow in your space?"
