In 2884, you and Xu Ling'er found another place with high spiritual energy to level up.
[Having just killed the future hope of the Yangbird clan, to prevent a swarm of Yangbirds about to break through to the peak of the second realm from flying in and attacking you, you need to level up again first.]
You are still a long way from reaching the peak of the Celestial Realm.
At the end of the year, you disguised yourself as a mysterious person and tossed several small bottles to Bingling Xue Dongdong: "Someone outside asked me to bring these to you."
[Afterwards, you quickly leave, using elemental techniques to enhance your vision and perform visual stimulation from a distance.]
[Xue Dongdong was initially puzzled, then showed extreme shock after it opened the bottle, followed by delight, and immediately went into seclusion.]
"Well, it seems it doesn't recognize this as one of its own kind."
[You might think that if Xue Dongdong were standing in front of the glacier, you could tell they were of the same race, but now that you've extracted and compressed the vital energy from that nascent body... it can only be considered a special kind of vital energy, making it really hard to associate it with a spirit race life form.]
Ji Chang: "It's fake."
"Those who claim to be able to predict the future shouldn't get involved in this kind of topic!"
[In 2885, although you haven't reached the maximum level yet, you still have twelve times the strength (the phrase "peak of the second realm" will be omitted hereafter until you are assigned a new unit), and you've decided to take Xu Ling'er out for a trip.]
[Because Chen Kongyu will advance to the Innate Realm this year and leave the Misty Sect to go down the mountain to Xiaoli Village to find his childhood sweetheart.]
You lead the young Xu Ling'er to the Heavenly Ladder.
[In the battlefield of the Hundred Races, she is probably the weakest among the Innate Realm cultivators. The combat power of newly promoted Innate Realm cultivators ranges from 12 to 20 times that of Grandmasters, the difference stemming from their "martial arts style." Currently, she doesn't know any martial arts style; she's simply a Grandmaster with 23 times the combat power, still in the early Innate Realm.]
Although the Sacred Body "Sacred Heart of Emotion" allows her to maintain four times the mental strength at all times, mental strength is far less helpful to innate combat power than the "Four-fold Combat Body." A martial artist's mental attacks are only suitable for bullying weaklings hundreds of times weaker than themselves; they are of little use against opponents of the same realm.
Therefore, she is still the weakest innate cultivator in the Hundred Races Battlefield; the others are all at least in the mid-stage of the innate realm.
However—the Heavenly Ladder doesn't care about your cultivation level; it only cares about the strength of those at the same level!
[You successfully broke through, and after waiting a short while at the outer entrance, Xu Ling'er also rushed out, albeit in a rather disheveled state. Having faced a life-or-death situation on the Heavenly Ladder, her extreme emotions caused her mental strength to swell sevenfold, making her more acutely aware of danger and further strengthening her martial will.]
[You tell her to stay put again and not move. Go out and gather information about her "Brother Chen".]
Xu Ling'er obediently found a room and went inside to cultivate.
You turned around and went to a spa to have a thorough treatment.
"As expected, Shui Ling is the best!"
[“Wow, human celestials, how about trying our collaboration partner’s scorching warming place?” A water spirit advertises to you.]
"What is that?" you ask curiously.
"It's similar to the current one, except it's from the Fire Spirit clan~" the Water Spirit said with a grin. "It's still the Water and Fire Dual Heaven package, with a 20% discount~"
"Flames... will it work?" You were a little skeptical.
"Of course! Many people say the feel of flames licking the skin is wonderful, and fire spirits aren't like those idiot earth spirits; they can use low-temperature flames."
You've decided to trust its judgment.
"Oh my god, it's burning up! It's burning so fast!"
"The fire has burned all the way inside; you can feel the flames flickering..."
"Damn it, why didn't you try Fire Spirit sooner? You almost made me miss out on a treasure trove!"
Five days later, you walked out, clutching your aching back. A drop of Yang Bird blood was enough as your reward; you even received an anonymous VIP card.
Then he returned to Xu Ling'er: "My dear disciple, your master has found new information about your brother Chen... he..."
Before you could finish speaking, Xu Ling'er shook her head: "Master, you don't need to do this."
Looking at your sunken cheeks, pale and listless face, and cloudy eyes, she said with heartache, "You've done so much for me!"
The relationship between the sunny girl and the goofy guy suddenly became more sentimental.
[On the verge of receiving news of the person she had been waiting for for ninety years, she suppressed her emotions and chose to express her gratitude first, thanking him for changing her fate over the years.]
She knows she has no special martial arts talent or ability; she's just an ordinary old woman. She's also come to understand your methods over the years: you wouldn't be worse than her against anyone else. She's not special!
[Your feelings are quite deep, especially since you didn't inquire about any news during this period and only played games with the Water Spirit and Fire Spirit for five days.]
[Guilt +3]
[You even want her to reconcile with Chen Kongyu, which has nothing to do with Chen Kongyu; it's simply because you care about your disciple.]
[But you can't do that. Chen Kongyu's personality has become twisted and abnormal over the years, like a "landmine-type character." On the surface, he's a devoted and normal person, but no one knows what will trigger his trigger and set him off.]
Rather than letting Xu Ling'er be hurt by Chen Kongyu's explosion someday, it's better to reopen old wounds within a framework you can control.
[You begin to recount that Chen Kongyu has a very good chance of advancing to the Innate Realm this year, at which point the Misty Sect will choose to release him: "If he cares about you, he will definitely come to Xiaoli Village to find you."]
"But—that could just be an obsession, a memory of the past. I'm worried that you've met the wrong person, so I'm asking you to give him a test!"
You raise a finger: "You've waited for him for decades, wasting your youth and everything you had. I don't expect him to pay a price for it—but he absolutely cannot ignore it."
"All I ask is that you conceal your inner energy, adjust your aged appearance, mimic decaying blood and energy, and even emit the aura of an old man... and see how he treats you!"
"If he's willing to go directly to the war zone to fight for you and defy fate, I fully approve of you two being together. It's your destiny to reunite!"
"If he stays by your side, or takes you elsewhere to spend the last days of your life with you, I have no objection. After all, newly acquired innate abilities are quite limited, and there are many things he cannot do."
"But if he finds someone new and shows disgust towards you, then I have no choice but to object. How can my precious Holy Body Primordial Being, whom I nurtured, fawn over someone who doesn't even respect her, a scum of the Israelites?"
Xu Ling'er was reluctant to show her age in front of her childhood sweetheart, but she also believed that "Brother Chen" wouldn't show any disgust towards her because of it, so she followed your instructions.
Holding the answer in your hand, you watch her beaming with joy and remain silent.
