Chapter 289 I left my son without a penny!
The three elders of the Sheng family asked who their Sheng family's ancestor who was in the God Transformation Stage was, while looking at Si Yuan with strange eyes.
Obviously, they already had some guesses in their minds.
Si Yuan nodded calmly. Yes, it was just as you guessed: "I have already broken through the Spiritual Transformation Stage, so there is no need to be afraid of the Lieyang Sect."
Nowadays, strong people in the God Transformation Stage are extremely rare. Even in the Lieyang Sect, which is well-known to have an ancestor in the God Transformation Stage, there are many disciples who have never seen their own ancestor in the God Transformation Stage. The ancestor in the God Transformation Stage of the Lieyang Sect has not shown up for many years.
It's just that the strong men in the God Transformation Stage have a long lifespan, and they are the strong men standing at the pinnacle of today's cultivation world. The death of every strong man in the God Transformation Stage is earth-shattering, so no one dares to guess whether the God Transformation Stage ancestor of Lieyang Sect has already died. Everyone assumes that the God Transformation Stage ancestor is in seclusion or traveling, and is too lazy to show up to deal with the weak.
Even the Jindan-stage cultivators of the Lieyang Sect, who were in the God Transformation stage, might not be qualified to meet a God Transformation stage expert. The three elders of the Sheng family had never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to talk face to face with a God Transformation stage expert in their lifetime, and this God Transformation stage expert came from their own Sheng family.
Although when Si Yuan said that the Sheng family also had a strong man in the God Transformation Stage, a possibility did flash through the minds of the three of them - the most powerful patriarch of the Sheng family was a strong man in the God Transformation Stage. But to be honest, they themselves thought that this idea was a fantasy and had no hope. Now Si Yuan told them that their fantasy is actually the truth? !
The three elders felt as if they were floating in the clouds, as if they were daydreaming. It was so wonderful that it seemed unreal.
The least stable Elder Sheng San couldn't help but pat the arm of Elder Sheng Er beside him, and said with a dreamy expression: "Second brother, you patted me, why do I feel like I'm in an illusion? This illusion is overestimating me, right? I wouldn't dare to dream so big even in my dreams."
The Second Elder Sheng slapped him on the face with a loud 'slap' sound, and the First Elder Sheng felt pain on his face just listening to it.
Elder Sheng San covered his face with his hands in disbelief: "Second brother, I told you to slap me, not to slap me in the face." He would rather be hit by Elder Sheng Er and suffer internal injuries than be slapped in the face.
However, this real pain and real humiliation all proved that he was not dreaming or in an illusion.
Elder Sheng San did not bother to settle accounts with Elder Sheng Er. He approached Si Yuan with a shameless face and said cautiously: "Master, can you repeat what you just said?"
Si Yuan looked at the shy face of the Third Elder Sheng, and then at the expectation on the faces of the other First and Second Elders. He silently released the pressure of a Spiritualization Stage cultivator, pressing the three elders to the ground and unable to move. Then he said quietly, "Do you believe it this time?"
The three elders wanted to nod their heads, but the pressure from the powerful Spirit Transformation Stage masters made it very difficult for them to even nod.
The three of them are the Sheng family elders that Si Yuan trusts the most, and they are also the three with the highest cultivation in the Sheng family elders. It can be said that Si Yuan does not manage much, and the entire Sheng family is in charge of these three.
They had personally felt the pressure from powerful Nascent Soul masters, but even the pressure from the peak Nascent Soul masters they had faced before was not as strong as the pressure that Si Yuan released casually at this moment.
Although they have not personally felt the pressure from other powerful people in the God Transformation Stage, but in their shallow understanding, the pressure is countless times stronger than that of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, so if he is not a powerful person in the God Transformation Stage, then he is not far from it.
Si Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and then said: "So you don't have to worry about Lieyang Sect. Lieyang Sect just wants to recruit me. If I were just a Nascent Soul cultivator, they would definitely think that recruiting me is giving me face, but I showed my Spiritualization cultivation, so Lieyang Sect would naturally take the initiative to apologize."
The cultivation world is such a place where strength is respected. Only when strength is equal can there be equal status.
Si Yuan threw the envoy of Lieyang Sect out of the Sheng family, but he did not intend to offend Lieyang Sect to death. After all, although he was powerful, the strength of Sheng family was far inferior to that of Lieyang Sect, so there was no need to create a powerful enemy for the Sheng family.
So Si Yuan directly threw the envoy of Lieyang Sect in front of the Sect Master of Lieyang Sect through the air.
The leader of the Lieyang Sect, who personally sent an envoy to the Sheng family to recruit a peerless genius in the Nascent Soul stage: "..." Is he dazzled? Otherwise, how could he see that a Nascent Soul stage envoy he sent out suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, and he, a Nascent Soul peak cultivator, didn't even realize how the other party appeared?
After being thrown out of the Sheng family, the envoy who appeared out of nowhere in front of the leader of the Lieyang Sect was in a daze: "......?"
The leader of Lieyang Sect was sure that the Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him was the envoy he had sent out, and asked hurriedly, "Didn't I send you to recruit the peerless genius of the Sheng family? How come you came back so soon? And why did you appear in front of me in such a mysterious way?"
The envoy said in a daze, "I, I met the Patriarch of the Sheng Family, and then he threw me out after a disagreement..." He looked at his clan leader blankly, "I was thrown in front of you, clan leader..."
The face of Sect Master Lieyang suddenly changed. Anyone who could have such a skill must not be a Nascent Soul cultivator. After all, he himself was a Nascent Soul peak cultivator. He had been stuck in this realm for hundreds of years and had not had the opportunity to break through to the God Transformation stage. He knew best what methods and abilities a Nascent Soul peak cultivator had.
The patriarch of the Sheng family casually threw an early Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sheng family to him in front of him in the Lieyang Sect. He had no idea how the person appeared. This feeling of facing an unknown and powerful being was just like the feeling he had when he faced the ancestor of Lieyang.
The head of Lieyang Sect said solemnly: "It seems that the head of the Sheng family is not as the outside world has said. Not long after breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage, he has obviously broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage!"
The Yuanying early stage cultivator who served as the messenger widened his eyes: "A powerful Divine Transformation expert?"
He finally came to his senses and was shocked to hear the conclusion of the Lieyang Sect Master. How could he be so arrogant and rude in front of a powerful God Transformation Master? And he was just thrown back instead of being killed?
There was a sense of relief at having survived a disaster.
The leader of the Lieyang Sect no longer had time to ask the messenger for details, and directly took the messenger to the forbidden area in the back mountain.
The reason why the back mountain was listed as a forbidden area by the Lieyang Sect is because it is the place where the old ancestor Lieyang practiced seclusion, and no one is allowed to enter at will.
Only the Sect Master of Lieyang Sect and a few other core members of Lieyang Sect have the authority to enter the place where Patriarch Lieyang was in seclusion to meet him.
But unless it is a huge matter, no one dares to trouble Old Ancestor Lieyang.
Therefore, the leader of the Lieyang Sect seldom went to ask for an audience with the Old Ancestor Lieyang over the years. Today's matter was so important that he could not care less about anything else. Not only did he come to ask for an audience with the Old Ancestor Lieyang himself, he also brought the envoy who had connections with the head of the Sheng family.
Even though the leader of the Lieyang Sect knew the urgency and seriousness of the situation, he did not dare to bring the envoy directly into the back mountain and violate the rule that no one other than the core senior leaders was allowed to enter the back mountain at will.
The leader of the Lieyang Sect left the messenger outside the entrance to the forbidden area of the back mountain, and entered the forbidden area in person. Then he bowed respectfully to the air in the forbidden area of the back mountain and said, "The 136th leader of the Lieyang Sect wants to see the ancestor. There are major matters related to the life and death of the Lieyang Sect that require the ancestor's decision. I hope the ancestor will spare the time to see you."
Patriarch Lieyang was indeed in seclusion, but the perception of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage was so sharp that any movement in the entire forbidden area at the back mountain could be hidden from Patriarch Lieyang. The moment Sect Master Lieyang stepped into the forbidden area at the back mountain, Patriarch Lieyang was already alarmed.
But Patriarch Lieyang ignored it until Sect Master Lieyang spoke these words. Then Patriarch Lieyang, who was in seclusion practicing, opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to be burning with flames, sharp and domineering.
The leader of the Lieyang Sect remained motionless in a respectful salute until a majestic voice sounded in front of him: "What is it?"
Although Patriarch Lieyang still hadn't shown up, Sect Master Lieyang was already satisfied that he could get in touch with him, and he quickly revealed all the circumstances.
After learning about the situation of the Sheng family from the Lieyang Sect, it was analyzed that the Sheng family had a peerless genius in the Nascent Soul Stage, so they sent people to recruit him. It turned out that the other party was actually a powerful person in the God Transformation Stage. The leader of the Lieyang Sect felt that the Lieyang Sect's previous behavior of recruiting the other party as a disciple was an offense, so he was worried that the other party would bear a grudge against the Lieyang Sect. Finally, he begged the ancestor of the Lieyang Sect to help settle the matter.
The Lieyang Patriarch was quite surprised: "I haven't shown up for many years, but I didn't expect that a small cultivation family near the Lieyang Sect would be so lucky to give birth to a fellow cultivator."
A powerful person in the God Transformation Stage like Old Ancestor Lieyang naturally has his own circle. He plays with dragons and of course will not bring weaklings along.
Therefore, only those who are at the Spirit Transformation Stage are worthy of the term "fellow practitioner" from the mouth of Ancestor Lieyang.
Patriarch Lieyang didn't think this was a problem. Even though the Lieyang Sect didn't want to offend a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, it could afford to offend him.
Patriarch Lieyang agreed: "I understand. I will personally go to meet the fellow who has just been promoted to the Spiritualization Stage."
He was curious about the patriarch of the Sheng family who had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage at a young age, and decided to come out of seclusion to have a good exchange with his new fellow practitioner.
Sect Master Lieyang heaved a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Then I will prepare a generous gift and personally send it to the Sheng family to express my apology."
After all, it was the Lieyang Sect that was wrong first for being domineering and unreasonable. If the Sheng family was just a Nascent Soul force, the Lieyang Sect would naturally not reason with the Sheng family. But doesn't the Sheng family have a powerful God Transformation Stage master? That is a force that has just begun to develop into a god. Even if its overall strength is not as good as that of the Lieyang Sect, it is still equal to the Lieyang Sect.
To the leader of Lieyang Sect, other forces that do not have a powerful God Transformation Stage master are just cats and dogs that cannot pose any threat to Lieyang Sect. He does not regard these small characters as equals.
After the Sheng family gave birth to a powerful person in the Spirit Transformation Stage, they were equal people in the heart of the Lieyang Sect Master, even if the Sheng family was still a babbling child and the Lieyang Sect was already strong adults. Even though the power between the child and the adult was not equal, they were equal in identity and personality, and they were all human beings.
So this is why, even though Sect Master Lieyang knew that Patriarch Lieyang would personally go to see Patriarch Sheng, who was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, he still went to the Sheng family in person with generous gifts to apologize.
Ancestor Lieyang used force to intimidate the Sheng family so that they would not think of pressing on further and would know when to stop.
The leader of the Lieyang Sect came personally with generous gifts to apologize. This was a sign of respect for the head of the Sheng family, who was a powerful person in the God Transformation Stage, and the highest standard of expressing apology to the Sheng family.
The ancestor of Lieyang also understood what the Sect Master of Lieyang meant, and nodded with satisfaction. He was still very satisfied with this generation of Sect Master of Lieyang. At least after this generation of Sect Master of Lieyang came to power, he seldom came to the forbidden area in the back mountain to disturb his retreat, and was able to manage the Lieyang Sect in an orderly manner.
This time, the Lord of Lieyang Sect came to him for help because it was force majeure. After all, who could have imagined that the Lord of Sheng Family, who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage not long ago, had quietly broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage?
Patriarch Lieyang felt that it was because the head of the Sheng family was very cautious. He had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage a long time ago but did not say anything. He waited until he broke through to the Spirit Transformation stage before announcing to the public that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. He really understood the art of hiding.
Ancestor Lieyang thought that this could not be blamed on Sect Master Lieyang, and it was not Sect Master Lieyang's fault for not being cautious enough.
Si Yuan didn't pay much attention to the situation in Lieyang Sect. Anyway, as long as the person in charge of Lieyang Sect was not crazy, he would not want to offend a powerful person in the God Transformation Stage casually.
As for the issue of Si Yuan breaking through the Spirit Transformation Stage too quickly... Si Yuan was also planning to do as Ancestor Lieyang imagined, and show that he had actually broken through a long time ago, but he kept it secret, and the breakthrough progress announced to the outside world was all false.
Even if the original owner's real age could not be faked, it was very shocking that he broke through to the Spirit Transformation Stage in just a few hundred years. It was better than spending hundreds of years from the Qi Refining Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, and then only spending a few years from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage. If this outrageous truth were leaked out.
After all, it is not uncommon in the history of cultivation to cultivate from the Qi Refining Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage in just a few hundred years. Such peerless geniuses have been born. In ancient times when the upper limit of cultivation was not locked at the Spirit Transformation Stage, there were geniuses with even more outrageous cultivation speeds.
But it took hundreds of years to go from the Qi Refining Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, but only a few years to go from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that it must have been some kind of incredible adventure.
Wouldn't other people covet such a great adventure? Especially now that the upper limit of cultivation has been locked, the practitioners in this world do not know that many cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage still dream of breaking through to a realm above the Spirit Transformation Stage like their predecessors.
After all, we can still occasionally dig up the glorious history of the ancient era of cultivation. Everyone knows that there are other realms above the Spirit Transformation Stage, and even in ancient times there were people who ascended to become immortals.
It’s just that the cultivation world is now in decline, which has resulted in the strongest being only at the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Few people know the reason for the decline, and even fewer know that the upper limit of this cultivation world has been locked.
So, when those peak-level cultivators who dream of breaking through to the God Transformation realm learn that Si Yuan has a great opportunity for an adventure, will they want to snatch it away and try their luck to see if they can get what they want?
Si Yuan’s true realm of cultivation is human immortal, that is, an immortal on earth who has survived the catastrophe of ascension but has not yet ascended to the immortal world.
But in this world of cultivation with a locked upper limit, Si Yuan's physical body can only be cultivated to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage. If he were to be besieged by a large number of other cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage, it would be a troublesome matter for Si Yuan.
That's why Si Yuan would try his best to avoid exposing the fact that his cultivation level has increased at an unparalleled rate.
Ancestor Lieyang is a man who takes action when he says he will, and he doesn't do anything empty.
So after he told this to the leader of Lieyang Sect, he expressed his intention to set off immediately.
The leader of the Lieyang Sect quickly took out a generous gift from his storage ring, and then quickly invited his ancestor to come out of seclusion.
After Patriarch Lieyang came out of retreat, he took the leader of the Lieyang Sect and headed straight for Feisha Fairy City.
Patriarch Lieyang has been in seclusion for many years. Before he went into seclusion, the Sheng family was still an unknown small family and was not qualified to be on the Lieyang Sect's attention list.
Old Ancestor Lieyang naturally didn't know where the Sheng family was, but Sect Master Lieyang knew. As soon as Sect Master Lieyang said it was in Feisha Fairy City, Old Ancestor Lieyang knew the location.
The history of the existence of the major immortal cities is very long. After all, the teleportation arrays in the immortal cities are relics from the past, so the immortal cities were certainly built by monks in ancient times, and they are still the cities of refuge for countless monks today.
Feisha Immortal City has a long history, and Patriarch Lieyang is naturally aware of its location. He took Sect Master Lieyang and went straight to Feisha Immortal City. After arriving at Feisha Immortal City, they sensed the aura of a powerful man in the God Transformation Stage in the immortal city, which was like a lighthouse in the darkness guiding the direction of their progress.
The leader of the Lieyang Sect could not sense the aura of a powerful cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. He was about to say that he did not know the exact location of the Sheng family, and he could go down and ask other cultivators.
But before he could open his mouth to speak, he saw Old Ancestor Lieyang heading straight towards a sacred mountain with a clear purpose.
As they flew closer, Sect Master Lieyang immediately realized that this was the Sheng family's main nest.
At this time, Sect Master Lieyang also felt the gazes coming from the Sheng family's old nest. His body became a little stiff, and the spiritual energy in his body was a little sluggish. He was like a poor prey being targeted by a large beast, and he felt weak even when trying to escape.
Fortunately, he was protected by another large beast of the same level, so he did not collapse to the ground in embarrassment.
The Lieyang Patriarch and the Lieyang Sect Master soon heard a voice transmission: "The distinguished guest has arrived. I am sorry for not coming to greet you."
However, the person who said this had no intention of coming out to greet them from beginning to end.
Ancestor Lieyang snorted lightly, then took the leader of the Lieyang Sect and flew towards the place where Si Yuan deliberately revealed his aura.
The leader of the Lieyang Sect finally met the head of the Sheng family who only existed in the rumors of others.
He was wearing a simple sky blue robe, not gorgeous at all, but his whole person had a noble and elegant temperament that made people dare not look directly at him.
Sect Master Lieyang really wanted to satisfy his curiosity and take a closer look at the other person's appearance, but for some reason, he just couldn't look directly at the other person's true face. He involuntarily lowered his head and closed his eyes to show respect.
Si Yuan did not pay attention to the Sect Master Lieyang who was in the Nascent Soul Stage. His attention was focused on the Old Ancestor Lieyang who was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
In terms of physical cultivation, Ancestor Lieyang is at a similar level to Si Yuan at this time. However, in a one-on-one situation, Si Yuan has many ways to kill Ancestor Lieyang instantly, such as direct soul attack, or secret attack and so on.
Si Yuan was only afraid of being besieged by a large number of cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage. In that situation, although he would not die, the original owner's body might be damaged to the point of being unusable. He had to follow the system and leave this world in advance.
He hasn't yet fully comprehended the laws of nature in this world, so how could he bear to leave like this?
So when facing the Lieyang Ancestor whose physical cultivation was similar to his own, Si Yuan expressed the proper etiquette of hospitality: "Venerable Lieyang, please take a seat."
In this world of cultivation, the respectful title for a strong person in the Spirit Transformation Stage is now "Venerable", or the ancestor of a certain force is called XX Ancestor.
The Lieyang Patriarch was also very polite to Si Yuan: "Fellow Daoist, I came here this time to bring this disappointing junior to apologize to you. Previously, my Lieyang Sect acted carelessly and offended you. Please don't blame me."
Sect Master Lieyang looked at his own ancestor in shock. After all, the original plan was for Patriarch Lieyang to discuss Taoism with the other party, and the person who actually apologized was him, a Nascent Soul cultivator, so this would not damage Patriarch Lieyang's face.
But the leader of the Lieyang Sect never expected that at this moment, the old ancestor of Lieyang would actually take the initiative to apologize!
The nature of this is completely different!
Although the leader of the Lieyang Sect was caught off guard by the Lieyang Patriarch's impromptu performance, he also reacted quickly and stepped forward, took out the generous gifts he had prepared long ago, and quietly added a few precious treasures to them. He respectfully saluted Si Yuan and said, "I misunderstood your strength before and even had the wild idea of recruiting you into my Lieyang Sect. I really didn't recognize you. Please forgive me!"
Even though the actual age of the Lieyang Sect Master is much older than that of the Sheng Family Master, he very frankly calls himself the junior.
After all, in the world of cultivation, the strong are respected and the successful are prioritized. Whoever has higher cultivation level is the senior, not age. Whoever is older is the senior.
If they are sorted by age and seniority, then age and seniority will only be considered when their cultivation levels are equal.
Si Yuan’s actual age is not very old, but he has traveled through so many worlds with the system and experienced so many lives, so he is not young anymore. He adapts well to the fact that Sect Master Lieyang calls himself a junior in front of him.
He nodded to the Lord of Lieyang Sect, then waved his hand to accept the apology and said to Patriarch Lieyang: "In that case, I will accept the apology and let this matter be over."
The old ancestor Lieyang laughed loudly: "Daoyou, you are straightforward! Let's put this matter to rest!" Then he sent the leader of the Lieyang Sect away and stayed to discuss Taoism with Si Yuan.
When the leader of the Lieyang Sect heard that the ancestor Lieyang actually said that he wanted to stay and discuss Taoism with Si Yuan, he immediately understood. It seems that the true strength of the head of the Sheng family is so strong that even the ancestor is afraid of it. He really hides it very deeply.
The leader of the Lieyang Sect did not dare to stay and disturb the two powerful masters in the Spirit Transformation Stage from discussing the Dao, and retreated respectfully.
When they came here before, the leader of Lieyang Sect was brought here by the old ancestor of Lieyang, and with the help of Si Yuan to close the mountain protection formation, they naturally had no obstruction.
But if he leaves now, Sect Leader Lieyang can only slowly walk out of the restricted-air Sheng Family Mountain.
Fortunately, Si Yuan still remembered to arrange someone to lead the way for Sect Master Lieyang.
On the way out of Sheng Family Mountain, Sect Master Lieyang encountered two young Foundation Establishment cultivators. The Sheng Family cultivator who led the way shouted to one of them, "Young Master!"
