Chapter 4 Dad is gone After
returning to her room, Xiao Liyue sat cross-legged on the couch according to the original owner's memory and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
She knew that the hero and heroine were about to break through the enlightenment stage and advance to the fusion stage. If she didn't work hard to cultivate, she would be left far behind. Moreover, her spiritual roots and innate spiritual power were not good, so the gap would only get bigger in the future.
After all, the male and female protagonists, who possess natural spiritual roots and are born with full spiritual power, can cultivate several times faster than themselves. As for themselves, who possess spiritual roots of useless attributes, the only way to avoid being abused is to rely on acquired efforts.
The body she traveled through had eight spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice and thunder, and each spiritual root had only ten points of innate spiritual power.
Unfortunately, the more spiritual roots there are, the harder it is to cultivate them, so spiritual roots with all attributes are called useless spiritual roots in the world of cultivation.
At this moment, in the cave in the back mountain, Liu Ruxi was tripped by a stone and almost fell, and Mo Jingxuan hugged her waist. Under the moonlight, Liu Ruxi's slightly red face looked extremely charming and moving. With such a beauty in his arms, how could Mo Jingxuan, as a normal man, hold back.
Late at night, amid the chirping of insects and birds, a strange sound that made people blush and their hearts beat faster could be faintly heard from the cave.
Xiao Liyue, who had practiced all night, felt the benefits brought by cultivating immortals, which really shocked her. Even though she had not slept all night, she was still full of energy at this moment. So she continued to practice and decided to go to the back mountain to watch the show of the two people in three days.
Xiao Lintian, who was ready to have a good chat with her, came to her room and saw her concentrating on practicing. He was surprised and felt relieved: "Our child has finally grown up!"
Now that he has reached the peak of his tribulation period, he should have been in seclusion practicing to overcome the tribulation and ascend to heaven. However, because he was still worried about Xiao Liyue, he chose not to go into seclusion.
Now that he saw that she had changed her personality and was becoming more like her mother, he could rest assured to go into seclusion. He wanted to ascend to the upper realm to find Xiao Liyue's mother. After Xiao Liyue ascended, their family of three would be reunited.
Now, with his cultivation level and reputation, people in the immortal cultivation world would not dare to harm Xiao Liyue easily. Besides, the elders of the sect would also protect her for him.
So Xiao Lintian handed a space ring to the Great Elder, asking him to pass it to Xiao Liyue, and then prepared to go out for retreat and practice.
The Great Elder was happy to see that Xiao Lintian was finally willing to go into seclusion after so many years.
"Master, just rest assured and transcend the tribulation and ascend to heaven! We still have several elders in the sect, and we will protect Xiao Yue'er and the sect."
"Yes, Master, you are now in the tribulation stage and are only a few steps away from ascension. You can't give up!" The second elder also encouraged excitedly.
Xiao Lintian, who is already at the peak of tribulation, has always claimed to the outside world that he is only in the initial stage of tribulation. Even the several elders in the sect do not know his true strength.
Afterwards, the other elders also expressed that they would protect Xiao Liyue, allowing Xiao Lintian to practice in seclusion with peace of mind.
Xiao Lintian expressed his gratitude to the elders with satisfaction, "Then I would like to thank all the elders here. Yue'er is a naughty child, please bear with her."
The great elder stroked his white beard and laughed, "Haha... no problem, no problem, Sect Leader!"
So under everyone's attention, Xiao Lintian tore open a secret space with his bare hands and walked inside.
The third elder was very surprised when he saw this, "He can actually tear open the secret space with his bare hands. I'm afraid the master's strength is more than just the initial stage of tribulation!"
The great elder stroked his white beard meaningfully, "The master has probably reached the peak of his tribulation-crossing period. It is estimated that he will be able to ascend to become an immortal in a few years."
When the elders heard this, they were shocked and excited.
Seeing this, the Great Elder waved his hand and said, "The fact that the Sect Master is in seclusion and ascending to heaven cannot be spread to others. Now that the Sect Master has just left, the Sect will be managed by us elders. I hope that the elders will manage it with care."
"Haha... no problem, no problem. It's our honor to work for the sect." The fourth elder said with a smile.
After the elders left the hall, the great elder stroked his beard with a serious look on his face. "It seems that the world of immortal cultivation is about to change..."
Three days later, Xiao Liyue just walked out of the house and saw the first elder and the second elder from the original owner's memory, drinking tea leisurely in the pavilion in her courtyard under the moonlight.
She looked puzzled, so she stepped forward curiously and said hello: "Hello, First Elder and Second Elder, you are drinking tea in my courtyard so late at night, what drama are you trying to perform?"
The Second Elder felt that Xiao Liyue had suddenly become much more polite, and then he said, "The First Elder and I are here to give you something."
"What is it? Let me see! By the way, where is my dad? I have something important to tell him now!" Xiao Liyue asked casually.
The Great Elder handed her the space ring that Xiao Lintian had left for her, "This is the treasure that the headmaster left for you before he left. Please accept it!"
When Xiao Liyue heard that her father had passed away, her heart trembled.
The book didn't say that Xiao Lintian died so quickly! She had only been in seclusion for three days, and her strongest support was gone.
She looked sad and somewhat unbelieving. Could it be that the butterfly effect caused by something she did accelerated Xiao Lintian's death? Ever since that day when she saw that Xiao Lintian looked exactly like her father, she had regarded him as her real father from the bottom of her heart. Now that she learned that Xiao Lintian was gone, she experienced the feeling of losing her father again.
She held back her tears and suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a cold voice: "My father is dead? Who killed him! With my father's current strength, there should be few people in the world of immortal cultivation who can beat him."
“Pfft…cough cough…”
The second elder spat out the tea in his mouth before he could swallow it. He coughed a few times because of the choking. The first elder beside him twitched his mouth a few times and looked embarrassed. This child must have become stupid from practicing these days. How could he curse his own father? Xiao Lintian, who was practicing on the other side, sneezed suddenly and said with a smile: "It seems that my precious daughter misses me. I have to practice hard and go back to see her as soon as possible!"
"Well... the master is not dead, he is just in seclusion outside." The great elder explained helplessly.
Xiao Liyue immediately turned from sadness to joy when she heard this: "I'm glad my father is okay, but why didn't he tell me that he went out for retreat?"
"The master saw that you have been practicing seriously these days, and he couldn't bear to disturb you, so he asked us to tell you that when the master is not around in the future, you can come to me and the elders for anything." said the great elder.
After the Second Elder recovered, he smiled and said, "Yes! If anyone in the sect bullies you, just tell me."
Although the Great Elder was smiling, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Who in the sect dares to bully her? With her hot temper, it's good enough that she doesn't bully others.
"Okay! Thank you very much, First Elder and Second Elder. Next time someone bullies me, I will tell you directly."
Xiao Liyue thanked him and put away the treasures left by her father.
Then she seemed to have thought of something funny and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"First Elder, Second Elder, have you told my Senior Brother Mo and Senior Sister Liu about my father's retreat?"
The second elder shook his head and said, "We have not informed them. I haven't seen them in the past few days. I guess they are out for training!"
The great elder standing by knew that the two were punished by Xiao Lintian to face the wall in the back mountain, but he was still curious why Xiao Liyue asked that.
So he looked puzzled and slowly said, "What's wrong? Girl Yue, do you want us to inform them?"
Xiao Liyue smiled and nodded: "Yes! After all, they are also my father's disciples, my senior brothers and sisters. Now that my father has gone out for retreat and cultivation, I have to inform them. However, my senior brothers and sisters were punished by my father to face the wall in the back mountain. There is a barrier in the back mountain, and I can't enter with my cultivation level. So I wonder if the first and second elders can take me in to inform them and see how they are doing recently."
The second elder laughed and said, "Haha... It's rare to see Jingxuan being punished for making a mistake. I didn't expect you to care about them so much. Then the first elder and I will take you to see them!"
"Really? Thank you very much, Second Elder and First Elder!" Xiao Liyue clasped her hands together.
The elder just smiled and didn't say much, but he was curious about what Xiao Liyue wanted to do, so he took her to the back mountain.
