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...
By the time Elder Ying and Shi Chuande arrived, Fairy Qingxiang was beyond saving. Seeing the voices of the lower-ranking disciples saying she deserved it, they could only swallow their questions.
Now that Song Xia, Shi Liuchuan, and Shi Shuangzhi are all in the late stage of the Integration Realm, even if they join forces, they cannot be easily defeated. Moreover, they still need to rely on Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi to open the passage to the upper realm.
Inside the city walls, a hooded man concealed his resentful gaze; no one would protect him anymore.
"Hey, where are you going? Senior Brother Liuchuan and Senior Sister Shuangzhi have already come out of seclusion. They might open the passage now and send us to the new world."
Shi Tianning was taken aback when he heard the man's concerned voice, then lowered his voice and said, "I'll go tell my mother this good news."
"It's definitely time to tell my family. I don't know what the new world will be like, so it's best to stay with my family."
Back at the Xuan Guang Sect, Shi Tianning avoided the sect's disciples and went to a small courtyard with abundant spiritual energy. Regardless of whether the passage to the other world was open now, his master was dead, and his mother could no longer live here.
Fairy Su Mu couldn't accept this news. She grabbed Shi Tianning's arm and roared, "How dare they! Master is the last Medicine God bloodline in this world! Master is a high-level cultivator in the late stage of the Integration Realm!"
“Mother, I have found a place to stay in Mengzhou City. Let’s go there first.”
"Mengzhou City? A place to house mortals?" Fairy Su Mu looked disgusted. "You want me to live in a place with those filthy and lowly mortals?"
Shi Tianning lowered his head and said, "I know I have wronged you, Mother, but with our Grandmaster gone, we can no longer live here peacefully. Mother, don't be discouraged. Once we get into the other world, there will definitely be a way to cure you there."
"You good-for-nothing?" Fairy Su Mu slapped Shi Tianning across the face. "How could I have given birth to such a useless son? Those two little bastards are already in the late stage of the Fusion Realm, and what about you? How come you're still only in the Nascent Soul stage?"
Shi Tianning did not resist, gripping the spirit sword tightly in his hand. Only when the gap in their cultivation levels widened did he realize that he was indeed not the savior.
Saviors should be like Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi, who can turn danger into safety no matter what difficulties they encounter, improve their cultivation at a speed far exceeding that of everyone else no matter how low they start, and forge ahead bravely no matter what crisis they face.
Instead of being protected by the two factions like he used to be, afraid of getting hurt in the slightest, and hiding behind others when problems arose, waiting for others to solve them.
He is indeed unworthy of being a savior; at the very least, he can never treat mortals and cultivators equally.
"Mother, we should go." Shi Tianning silently packed his things, letting Su Muxian scold and beat him.
Su Mu Fairy was eventually tired of fighting and scolding, but she still had no choice but to follow.
After her dantian shattered, she experienced a devastating blow. Fortunately, her master was the sect leader of the Xuan Guang Sect, so even though she lost her cultivation, she was still well taken care of. However, now she was being told that she could no longer live like that.
"Another world... does an other world really have a method to repair the dantian?" Fairy Su Mu asked through gritted teeth.
"Didn't our grandmaster say that she personally witnessed Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi opening a passage to another world? The other world was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and the spiritual energy was pure. Even at the entrance of the passage, there were countless spiritual flowers and herbs. There must be a way to cure them."
“If that’s the case, perhaps a high-grade spiritual herb can regenerate the dantian.” Fairy Su Mu’s eyes grew more hopeful as she spoke. “Ancient books record that the ancient cultivation world was full of rare and precious materials, and cultivators were omnipotent. The other world must be just like the ancient times.”
With anticipation in her heart, Fairy Su Mu was no longer so resistant to going to Mengzhou City. After casually disguising her original appearance with makeup, she quietly left Xuan Guang Sect with Shi Tianning.
As it turned out, Shi Tianning's decision to take her away was correct. After the news of Qingxiang Fairy's death spread, the disciples who had grudges against them rushed to her former residence, wanting to avenge their past grievances.
One of them is Meng Jie, who once obtained the strange water, but which was then forcibly taken away by Fairy Su Mu.
“She would never go too far. Now, apart from the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect, only Cloud Cover City and Mengzhou City are suitable for her to live in. There is absolutely no way she would go to the Divine Origin Sect.”
"But Yungai City and Mengzhou City are not allowed to fight amongst themselves. So what if we find the person?"
"We cannot let Senior Song down, but the passage is about to open, and the order will definitely not be as good as it is now. Let's find the person first and then act when the opportunity arises."
"Because of them, we lost our fellow disciples, our cultivation, and even the possibility of advancing further. Even if we die, we absolutely cannot let those mother and son get away with it!"
On the other side, Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi were surrounded by the crowd, and Shi Chuande and others were eager for them to open the passage.
"Now it is indeed time to send everyone there. So we have decided to communicate with the other world in three days. Therefore, please keep yourselves in check during these three days and then gather together at the Divine Origin Sect."
Why go to the Divine Origin Sect?
"The Divine Origin Sect has the deepest spiritual energy. Without the support of spiritual veins, how can we send all the cultivators there?"
"So, we can't take the sect's spiritual veins with us?" Shi Chuande and Shi Changqing were heartbroken. They had originally planned to take the spiritual veins to another world so that they would have the initial capital to rebuild the sect.
Shi Liuchuan glanced at them: "Not only can we not take away the spiritual veins of the Divine Origin Sect, but the same goes for those of the Profound Light Sect and the Nine Heavens Palace. We must excavate them in advance to serve as backup."
The atmosphere among the elders was somber. Had they known this would happen, they would have secretly dug up some spirit stones and hidden them away.
When it came to excavating the spiritual vein, Song Xia, Shi Liuchuan, and Shi Shuangzhi did not trouble others; the three of them, mother and children, did it themselves.
In fact, the spiritual veins of the Divine Origin Sect are already sufficient to support the opening of the passage and the collection of the other two, which are respectively the rewards for the two worlds to accommodate cultivators and mortals.
After the Xuan Guang Sect's spiritual vein was collected, Song Xia put it into Xiao Ling's space, and Xiao Ling felt that the entire space had become much more complete.
The space now contains many small animals that Xiao Ling and Song Xia rescued in various worlds. After hundreds of years of development, everything is now in harmony, and new species have even begun to emerge.
The spiritual veins of the Nine Heavens Palace are even stronger than those of the Profound Light Sect, and the mother and her two children also discovered many rare and precious materials deep within the spiritual veins.
"This Nine Heavens Palace is well hidden!"
"The entire Nine Heavens Palace only has nine elders and some low-ranking disciples serving them. Naturally, they can't use up such a huge spiritual vein."
"If the Nine Heavens Palace had contributed the spiritual veins earlier, more people could have been saved. They've held onto them for so long, and in the end, they still haven't gotten what they wanted."
"They might hate us right now!"
The brother and sister exchanged a smile, completely disregarding the opinions of those people. Revenge was out of the question, and they weren't even sure if they could withstand the heavenly lightning from another world.
