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...
After arriving at the Divine Origin Sect, Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi did not just focus on seclusion and cultivation like Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui before them, but instead constantly went on missions.
The world is becoming increasingly chaotic, and the disorder on Qianli Island is gradually spreading. Only then do people realize how false the merits of Fairy Su Mu, Shi Tianning, and Shi Tiankui in saving the world, which were promoted by the Shenyuan Sect back then, were.
Even if you had said back then that there was no way to save them, at least those cultivators and mortals who stayed behind wouldn't have suffered again and would have had a chance to escape instead of losing their lives in vain.
But now that Shi Tiankui is dead, Su Muxianzi is crippled, and Shi Tianning is in seclusion, everyone wants to vent their frustrations, but they also feel powerless. They can only curse that it was good that Shi Tiankui died and that it was good that Su Muxianzi was crippled.
There were also some extreme cultivators who wanted to curry favor with Song Xia and his group, and they wanted to force the Xuan Guang Sect to hand over Shi Tianning to apologize to the cultivators and mortals of Qianli Island.
The Xuan Guang Sect is now divided into two factions. One faction believes that it should maintain good relations with the Shen Yuan Sect and Song Xia and expel Shi Tianning from the sect. The other faction, led by the sect leader Qing Xiang Fairy, strongly protects him.
"Sect Master, Shi Tianning's surname is Shi. What's the point of raising him in our Xuan Guang Sect?" The situation has changed drastically, and Qingxiang Fairy's position as sect master is no longer as secure as before. Some elders and disciples want to curry favor with Song Xia, so they have launched an attack on Qingxiang Fairy's power.
“That’s right. We’ve never seen Shi Tianning come to our Xuan Guang Sect so frequently before, and he’s no longer the savior. Shouldn’t we stop wasting our sect’s spiritual energy and resources?”
"Sect Master, as the head of a sect, you should consider the sect's well-being first."
"In the past, you, Sect Master, failed Senior Song Xia and the two saviors. Now you should take the initiative to ensure the status of our Xuan Guang Sect in the cultivation world."
"If you continue to act willfully and recklessly, not only the Cloud Soaring Sect, but even the alliance of rogue cultivators in the far west will be able to impact our sect's influence."
"Enough!" Fairy Qingxiang's face turned ashen. "Am I the sect leader or are you the sect leaders? I don't need you to tell me what to do."
"Sect Master, we came to ask for your opinion out of respect for you, but you can't put the entire sect in danger for your own personal feelings."
Qingxiang Fairy suppressed her anger, but when she found that Elder Lian Ying was also silent in agreement, she had no choice but to back down: "From now on, Tianning's cultivation resources will be paid for by me personally, and the sect will not be responsible for them."
"But you are the sect leader, how can you guarantee that he is not taking advantage of the sect's reputation?"
"That's right. How to allocate resources is just a matter of your word, Sect Master."
"From now on, I will no longer accept any resources from the sect. Is that alright?" Fairy Qingxiang said angrily. She had never known that the sect members would be so obviously opportunistic. She, the sect leader, was not dead yet!
"Grandmaster, you don't need to do this." Just as everyone was feeling smug, Shi Tianning walked in from outside the hall with his head slightly lowered. "My current status is awkward, and it is indeed inappropriate for me to stay in the Xuan Guang Sect. Today, I have come to take my leave."
Fairy Qingxiang looked reluctant: "Tianning, the world is in chaos now. If you leave the Xuan Guang Sect, where else can you go?"
"The world is vast, there will always be a place for juniors to cultivate. I only ask that my master take good care of my mother."
Seeing his resolute expression, Fairy Qingxiang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not voice her objection. Given the current situation of the Xuan Guang Sect, forcing this child to stay in the sect was indeed not a good choice.
But now the outside world is full of crises, and this child has never experienced hardship before, so how can she be completely at ease?
"Now you have nothing to say, right?" Fairy Qingxiang looked coldly at these elders and managers. Before the incident, these people all wished that Tian Ning and Tian Kui would stay in Xuan Guang Sect. Now that Tian Ning is no longer the savior, they can't wait to sever ties. Do they really think that they can curry favor with Song Xia like this?
According to her, Song Xia had no chance of reconciling with them or the Shenyuan Sect, and perhaps all his demands were part of a conspiracy to scheme against the two sects.
"Our sect leader is reasonable, and we will naturally not make a fuss about it."
"In addition, the sect leader should also find a way to repair the relationship with Song Xia as soon as possible."
"What to do next is none of your business. Does the sect have nothing else to do? Do you need me, the sect master, to personally arrange things for you?"
After driving everyone away, Fairy Qingxiang looked at Shi Tianning with a mixture of heartache and helplessness. In the end, she realized that all she could do was give the child some protective magic items.
"Child, don't be discouraged. Even if you are no longer the savior, your grandmaster still believes that you are extraordinary and will definitely achieve great things in your cultivation." Qingxiang Fairy sneered, "What savior or not? The words of the Nine Heavens Palace can no longer be trusted. How can two young people save the world? They are just tools for Song Xia to use to seize power and profit."
Although it was meant to be comforting, Shi Tianning found it extremely ironic.
So, in everyone's mind, he and his sister were seen as having this kind of role before? He even thought that the future of this world depended on him and his sister.
It's laughable that he used to be so arrogant; it turns out he really is useless!
"Grandmaster, I entrust my mother to you." Shi Tianning didn't say anything else. Right now, the only person he was worried about was his mother, whose cultivation had been destroyed. "Song Xia and Shi Tiankui can continue to cultivate even without bodies. Please tell my mother that I will definitely go to explore the caves of ancient cultivators and find a way to help her recover."
Thinking of what happened to Song Xia and Shi Tiankui, Qingxiang Fairy, who originally thought there was little hope, nodded: "Then be careful in everything. It's good to go out and gain some experience. Your grandmaster is waiting for you to come back."
News of Shi Tianning's disappearance quickly reached the Divine Origin Sect. Some people felt it was a pity that they could no longer curry favor with Shi Liuchuan and the others by bullying Shi Tianning.
However, in reality, Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi didn't care where Shi Tianning went at all, and the two of them never stopped.
In addition to leading the disciples of the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect to gather mortals, they also had to deal with the increasingly frequent natural disasters.
Although Shi Chuande and Shi Changqing told them that they didn't need to do these trivial things and that they only needed to go into seclusion to improve their cultivation, neither of them listened. They were now the saviors of the world, how could they watch everyone in danger without caring about them?
As for cultivation level, it is not necessary to go into seclusion to improve it. You can also break through when fighting against monsters or when trapped in danger by natural disasters.
Their efforts were initially met with incomprehension by the cultivators of both sects. However, as more and more people were rescued and their cultivation levels increased at an extremely rapid pace, it aroused the competitive spirit of many.
While the prevailing atmosphere in both sects may not have been reversed, it at least helped some lazy, aimless cultivators rediscover their original motivation for becoming cultivators.
