When Ye Sisi emerged from seclusion again, her cultivation had stabilized at the peak of the late-stage Void Refinement realm, just as Su Jiuli had estimated.
You have to understand that she has been at the Refining Void stage for almost five years. In these five years, apart from killing demons in the Demon Subduing Land, she has been cultivating non-stop whenever she has time.
His cultivation speed was about as slow as a tortoise crawling, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't anxious. But now, after just one month of cultivation with his senior brother, he had directly skipped the early, middle, and late stages of the late-stage Void Refinement realm and stabilized at the peak of the late-stage Void Refinement realm. He hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time; having a powerful backer felt really great.
No, no, I have to keep my senior brother by my side. I can't let him run away and disappear for years. Otherwise, why is her cultivation going to be so slow? At this rate, she should be able to reach the Tribulation Transcending stage in ten years at most, maybe even eight.
As soon as Su Jiuli stood up, he noticed Ye Sisi looking at him with a strange expression. He leaned back slightly and hesitated, "Junior Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"
Ye Sisi rested her chin on her hand and said seriously, "Senior Brother, you won't be so heartless as to abandon me again, will you? Look, without you, my cultivation is slower than a tortoise crawling. And you also said that what I need to do now is to cultivate diligently, so..."
Su Jiuli couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, I won't leave for now, but don't always think about taking shortcuts. The reason I helped you improve your cultivation this time is because you have a good foundation and it won't make your foundation unstable, but you'll still have to rely on yourself for your future cultivation."
Ye Sisi frowned slightly: "Ah, Senior Brother, what do you mean by not leaving for now? Can't you just stay?"
Su Jiuli smiled and asked in return, "What do you think?"
"But you didn't say what you've been secretly doing outside all these years."
Su Jiuli couldn't help but twitch her lips. This felt right. Her junior sister used to be like this, always leaving people speechless.
So he turned and left. What do you mean by sneaking around? Cough cough, although there are some things he can't say for the time being, he's always been aboveboard, okay?
Ye Sisi scrambled to her feet and followed Su Jiuli eagerly: "Senior Brother, you've already told me about my background, so what else can't you say? And what is that special power within you? It shouldn't be your original divine power, after all, you've reincarnated nine times."
After thinking it over, Su Jiuli decided to tell Ye Sisi part of the truth. He had previously thought that keeping it from Ye Sisi was for her own good, but it turned out that he was wrong.
After considering it for a moment, he said, "What I am doing now is paving the way for your divine path. The power you feel is a bridge that directly connects the spirit world to the outer heavens, but it will take some time."
He wouldn't say the specifics, because if he did, Ye Sisi's hard-won composure would immediately crumble.
"But don't worry, I'll be fine. Although I'm not a god, there aren't many things in this world that can take my life."
Having said all that, what else could Ye Sisi say? Suddenly remembering something, she quickly asked, "Oh dear, so many things happen every day, I completely forgot about the Life Gu. What should we do about that Life Gu?"
"Don't worry, I have destroyed the original body of the Life and Death Gu, and cultivators who have taken the Life Gu before will no longer be affected."
"Life and Death Gu? What do you mean?"
"It is a special existence between life and death, neither alive nor dead. The Life and Death Gu lives at the intersection of Yin and Yang, and its appearance is similar to that of a cabbage worm. The Life Gu you saw before is just one of the offspring of the Life and Death Gu. You have also seen its function: it can replenish the lifespan of others after draining their life force."
Ye Sisi nodded. She wasn't very interested in Gu worms or anything like that. Since everything was fine, she didn't bother to pay attention to it anymore. Her senior brother was always very reliable.
As soon as the two stepped out of the cultivation room, they saw Ouyang Yanyu leaning back in a rocking chair reading a storybook, and Ye Shubai and Lin Shuanglu playing chess at the stone table in the courtyard.
Ye Sisi blinked. Her third senior brother actually dared to play chess with her fourth senior brother. Wouldn't he lose everything if it was a money game?
Upon seeing Ye Sisi and Su Jiuli, Lin Shuangluo immediately stood up and waved, saying, "Junior Sister, come quick! You two are about the same size. Come and save me!"
Ye Sisi shook her head frantically. What a joke! She was a terrible chess player. She hadn't even been playing for long, and she couldn't even beat her senior brother who gave her a five-piece handicap.
Fourth Senior Brother is no less cunning than Eldest Senior Brother; how could she possibly be so foolish as to play chess with him?
Ouyang Yanyu put away the storybook and looked at Ye Sisi, whose eyebrows were bright and lively. She felt that Ye Sisi was different from before. She was more like the junior sister who had just entered the sect. The faint sorrow between her eyebrows had disappeared without a trace.
Indeed, ever since they came to the Spirit Realm, not to mention Junior Sister, they have all been living in a daze, feeling lost and confused.
Now that everything is clear, all they need to do is work towards that goal, and that's good enough. Once they bring their fifth junior brother back, they can be like they were before.
Ye Shubai put down the chess piece in his hand, pretending not to have seen Lin Shuangluo secretly take away the two black pieces, and turned to ask, "Senior Brother, when are we leaving?"
Su Jiuli smiled slightly: "No rush. Master is currently unable to attend to matters. As the eldest brother, I should also fulfill my responsibilities. Fourth brother, let's start with you and see how much you have improved over the years."
Ye Shubai narrowed his eyes, his intuition telling him that he might be beaten badly today, so he said, "Senior Brother, we should go from the oldest to the youngest, so Third Senior Brother, you go first."
Lin Shuangluo...
Shouldn't the eldest be the second senior sister? This troublesome junior brother only knows how to harm one person.
Ye Sisi and Ouyang Yanyu exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time.
Su Jiuli nodded at Lin Shuangluo, and before Lin Shuangluo could speak, he said, "Third Junior Brother, I heard you mocked me before, saying I was a blade of grass in my past life?"
Lin Shuangluo...
Damn it, how did these words reach the ears of the eldest brother? It must be that heartless fourth junior brother. Damn it, I'm going to beat him up later.
Ye Sisi looked at this and then at that. Luckily, she was a girl. She had also mocked her senior brother's true form back then. Cough cough, she really didn't mean it. Besides, wasn't she originally just a flower? So it's all the same. Let's not make fun of each other.
When did her senior brother become so stingy? It's making her a little uneasy.
