Chapter 125 Swallowing Too Slowly
Qi Xiuyuan naturally didn't care about the thoughts of Nangong Liuyun and others. After looking around, he determined the direction to go out, and then asked everyone to follow him out first.
Aren't you waiting for Chen Yichuan here? Nangong Liuyun and others were a little confused, but seeing that Qi Xiuyuan had no intention of answering, they didn't ask anything.
Outside of the Snow Moon Forest, there weren't many Xihua City forces left. After all, the Mystical Beast Tide had dissipated, and the large families couldn't stay here forever. The Qi family hadn't left yet, naturally because Shen Yichuan and the twins were there.
But on this day, the head of the Qi family did not wait for Shen Yichuan and the twins but waited for Qi Xiuyuan!
"Xiuyuan?" The head of the Qi family looked at Qi Xiuyuan in surprise.
"Father." Qi Xiuyuan shouted.
The Qi family's head's expression changed slightly when he saw Nangong Liuyun and the others. Although he knew these people were no longer a threat, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with them whenever he thought of their powerlessness in the past. If possible, he really wanted to kill them, but his reason told him that keeping them alive would be more useful to the younger generation.
Therefore, the head of the Qi family simply ignored Nangong Liuyun and others.
Lin Jiaojiao tried her best to reduce her presence. At this moment, her life was in the hands of others. Thinking about what happened that day, she still admired the magnanimity of the head of the Qi family. After all, if it were her... she might seek revenge at all costs.
"Where are Yichuan and the two children? Do you know where they are?" the Qi family patriarch asked hurriedly.
Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "I know, don't worry, they are fine, they are all deep in the forest now."
The Qi family's patriarch's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly asked, "Does the dissipation of this mysterious beast tide have anything to do with you?"
Qi Xiuyuan hummed, "The Mysterious Beast Tide erupted because it was stimulated by some unexpected events inside. We solved the source of the stimulation, so the Mysterious Beast Tide dissipated."
"Haha, he is indeed my son. Tsk tsk, that old guy from the Yu family actually dared to laugh at us before."
"The Yu family?" Qi Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow. "Someone from the Yu family is here?"
"They're here." Patriarch Qi snorted coldly, "A Martial Saint and the Patriarch Yu came personally, bringing with them hundreds of family members. However, apart from the Martial Saint and the Patriarch Yu, the rest were left behind. They also fled in a panic."
Qi Xiuyuan felt a sense of dominance from his father, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, his eyes softening.
"Well, it's just the Yu family. Don't take it seriously now."
"I knew you were thinking that. By the way, this beast tide won't happen again, right?"
"Probably not in the short term, but you can't say for sure about the future." Qi Xiuyuan said honestly.
Patriarch Qi waved his hand. "How many people can predict the future? As long as it doesn't happen again, that's all that matters. Now that the beast tide crisis is over, it's time for us to manage the Imperial Capital. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about these things. Although I, your father, may not have much talent in cultivation, I can still handle these miscellaneous matters. Aside from the Nangong family, I plan to drive the Li family out of the Imperial Capital."
"Okay." Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "Father is the boss."
Patriarch Qi smiled and said, "So what's your plan next? Are you going to wait here for Yichuan to come out?"
"No, I plan to take them to various places to hunt down the mad spirit beasts that escaped earlier. Besides, there are some places we can explore. As for Yichuan... I estimate that it will take some time for him to come out, not so soon."
"Is that so? Fine, then I'll send someone to guard here and wait for Yichuan to come out and tell him our news. We can also get the news that he has come out."
"Can."
In addition to meeting Qi Xiuyuan, the head of the Qi family arranged for two people to stay and wait for Shen Yichuan to come out, and then he took his people away.
As soon as he left, more forces withdrew from Xihua City, and a piece of news leaked out.
The young master of the Qi family and his husband had indeed entered the depths of the Snow Moon Forest. Many people had seen Qi Xiuyuan walking out of the depths with their own eyes. The reason why the mysterious beast tide dissipated so quickly this time was due to the great contributions of the young master of the Qi family and his husband, Young Master Shen Yichuan. In fact, Young Master Shen is still in the depths of the forest.
As for what exactly happened in the depths of the Snow Moon Forest, no one knows yet. It is still a restricted area for humans. If you want to know the specific information, you can go in, but you will have to bear the consequences yourself.
In short, after the day the Qi family left, some people tried to enter the depths, but they all ended in failure and death.
As a result, this Snow Moon Forest became a place that everyone was very secretive about.
The Qi family naturally became famous throughout the Xuanhuang Continent. In particular, over the next two months, the Qi family vigorously reorganized the Imperial Capital. With the exception of the Nangong family, who remained, the Li family, the four major families, were expelled from the Imperial Capital! The Li family actually left obediently, without even a protest, leaving many other forces across the Xuanhuang Continent stunned.
At the same time, everyone became more aware of a fact: the Qi family might have really risen.
Qi Xiuyuan brought Nangong Liuyun and others to travel around the entire Xuanhuang Continent. Qi Xiuyuan only set this continent as his target for the time being. In just two months, they had traveled through most of the continent, killed countless mad spirit beasts and mysterious beasts that were wreaking havoc in the outside world, visited several famous dangerous places on the continent, and obtained some opportunities that Qi Xiuyuan had obtained in his previous life.
After his trip to the Tower of Babel, he actually no longer cared much about many of those things, but some of them were helpful to the evolution of his Nine-Leaf Lotus Body, so he still got them.
In his previous life, when he had these opportunities, his strength wasn't very strong, so he had to survive some dangerous places. But in this life, things had gone much more smoothly. With his current strength, there really was no place in the entire continent he couldn't go to, even the center of the earth.
Therefore, the opportunities from the previous life can be obtained effortlessly in this life!
So, sometimes, Qi Xiuyuan's mood is a little complicated.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed...
The twins were six years old, and Qi Xiuyuan hadn't seen them for over a year. The Qi family head had even sent Qi Xiuyuan several messages, asking when Shen Yichuan would be able to come out of the Snow Moon Forest. You know, the twins were in Shen Yichuan's space, and if Shen Yichuan didn't let them out, they wouldn't be able to see anyone!
It has been more than a year since I last saw my two children. Not only the head of the Qi family, but even Qi Xiuyuan himself missed them.
So, Qi Xiuyuan took Nangong Liuyun and others to the Snow Moon Forest.
Over the past year or so, Nangong Liuyun and the others' cultivation progress had naturally not been as rapid as Qi Xiuyuan's, but rather steady. What truly surprised them was their certainty that Qi Xiuyuan was a man of great fortune. Otherwise, how could they explain all the treasures he had obtained over the past year?
As for Qi Xiuyuan, although his cultivation was much weaker than theirs, his growth rate was astonishing, and none of Nangong Liuyun and the others dared to underestimate him.
Arriving deep in the Snow Moon Forest, Qi Xiuyuan glanced at Nangong Liuyun and the others. Not worried that they might escape, he simply said, "I'll go down and take a look. You guys stay up there and guard."
Nangong Liuyun and others agreed.
Six months ago, Qi Xiuyuan had achieved a breakthrough to the semi-saint realm. Now, he was only one step away from becoming a saint. However, Qi Xiuyuan was in no rush to take that step. He felt that his current foundation was not yet sufficient. Just like the golden light marrow cleansing before, his body was not yet polished enough. Therefore, he was in no hurry to take that step.
Becoming a saint is a crucial step, and it is also the foundation for all future cultivation paths. If one does not take this step perfectly, it will directly affect his future growth space.
So, we have to be cautious.
What's more, he didn't forget that the Heavenly Dao here wanted to kill him, so his own tribulation of becoming a god must be more terrifying than anyone else's. He had a chance to start over, but it didn't mean he would have such a heaven-defying opportunity a second time. Therefore, he couldn't be careless in becoming a saint.
Jumping down, Qi Xiuyuan knew where Shen Yichuan was. The only thing he was unsure about was whether the other party's current state could be disturbed.
When he found where Shen Yichuan was, Qi Xiuyuan was stunned before he even got close, because during this time underground, he actually saw a lot of green.
These greens are naturally shades of green.
It was as if the green shade had let go of its body here, with green vines and branches everywhere, and some branches even had small green and white flowers blooming on them.
In short, there is a lot of greenery underneath!
Therefore, Qi Xiuyuan was really stunned when he saw it.
“…Green shade?”
"Young Master Qi!" Green Shadow's crisp voice sounded. It was a name it learned from Nangong Liuyun and the others. In the past, it actually called Qi Xiuyuan the Great Demon King.
"How is your master now?" Qi Xiuyuan asked directly.
"The master is absorbing the energy in the sphere, but he is absorbing it very slowly. It should take a long time."
"Can he be disturbed?" Qi Xiuyuan asked after a moment of silence.
"Master will be awake for a short while every few days. The last time he was awake was six days ago. He should be awake soon. I'll ask him for you when he wakes up."
"Well, tell me when he wakes up." Qi Xiuyuan decided to practice here for a while.
The green shade agreed crisply and continued to extend its branches here...it didn't have anything else more interesting to do.
Two days later, Shen Yichuan woke up and looked at the ball in front of him. Shen Yichuan was a little distressed.
His swallowing speed was so slow this time. It felt like there was a thick layer between him and the sphere. Alas, he couldn't take the sphere away. Would he have to stay here forever?
Shen Yichuan admitted that he felt a little bored here. It was at this time that he heard the voice from Luyin, saying that Qi Xiuyuan had come and asked him if he could disturb him.
Shen Yichuan's eyes lit up immediately, "Let him in."
Soon, Qi Xiuyuan came inside and saw Shen Yichuan under the sphere.
Shen Yichuan said in distress, "Xiuyuan, my swallowing speed is too slow. I can't take this sphere away, and I can't leave the area around it. Otherwise, I feel I won't be able to absorb the energy in it. But if I keep swallowing here like this, I'll have to stay here forever. You've come at the right time. Tell me, is there any good solution?"
Qi Xiuyuan looked at Shen Yichuan, then at the sphere.
This sphere is naturally not an ordinary sphere. It is... the heart of the rules of the entire world. His eyes became a little complicated.
Shen Yichuan actually complained that he was absorbing it too slowly. He knew that to obtain the energy of the Heart of Rules, he needed the recognition of the world consciousness! He himself was not recognized...
