Qian Youcai: Give me back my gratitude.

In the time that followed, Su Ming and Qian Youcai discussed many details of their cooperation.

During the conversation, Qian Youcai even occasionally forgot that Su Ming was still just a fourteen-year-old boy.

At the end of the cooperation discussion, Su Ming craftily gifted the Primal Chaos Sword Art he had created to Qian Youcai.

Of course, Su Ming was also aware of the dangers of doing this.

After all, this was a Cultivation Technique he had created, and it was likely on the supreme heavenly mandate's blacklist.

It wouldn't matter if it was taught within the world.

But if it spread into the Outer Void and was locked onto by the supreme heavenly mandate, that would be bad.

So before doing this, Su Ming specifically asked the System for details regarding this matter.

The final answer he received made Su Ming breathe a sigh of relief.

[Since this technique is transmitted second-hand, the probability of the supreme heavenly mandate locking onto the Host is extremely small. Additionally, the Host can have Qian Youcai claim to the outside world that he researched this technique himself, which will further reduce the probability.]

With the System's endorsement, Su Ming was naturally fearless.

So much so that Qian Youcai felt a bit embarrassed after receiving the technique.

What kind of skill was it for a Peak Heavenly Dao Realm expert to steal a junior's technique? He hadn't reached that level of shamelessness yet.

Fortunately, Su Ming brushed it off by saying he wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to be exposed to the public eye of the Outer Void too early.

As someone possessing an Innate Dao Bone, wanting to be low-key was completely understandable.

After the cooperation was settled, Qian Youcai sighed sincerely, "Brother Wu, Lady Xiao, your child is not simple... If my future children could have half of your child's talent, I wouldn't have to worry about the future successor of the Treasure Pavilion."

However, facing Qian Youcai's praise, there was no pride in the couple's eyes; instead, there was only a sense of guilt.

In their eyes.

Precisely because they were not by Su Ming's side, he had to force himself to learn these things before reaching adulthood to survive better on the Qianyuan Continent.

This was their failure as parents.

"Since everything has been settled, this space should be dissolved. Little Nephew, if you have the chance in the future, come visit the Treasure Pavilion. Uncle will treat you well."

Hearing this, Su Ming made a move that was completely beyond Qian Youcai's expectations.

He turned around, opened his arms, and hugged his parents' wills.

The couple came to their senses and, with tears in their eyes, pulled Su Ming into their embrace.

The three of them said nothing more; this hug was enough to say everything.

If not for this space projected by Qian Youcai, the family of three didn't know when they would be able to touch each other, even though the wills projected by the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm expert in this space were incomplete, such that Su Ming couldn't see his parents' faces in detail.

As a shrewd man, Qian Youcai naturally understood why they made this move.

So he silently maintained the space to give the family of three time to spend together.

Su Ming, who was hugging Su Wu and Ling Xiao, suddenly felt a tightness. He realized something... "Don't be afraid, Mother and Father are by your side..." After leaving these words for Su Ming, the two's wills merged into his body once again.

Seeing this scene, a hint of shock appeared in Qian Youcai's eyes, followed by admiration.

Admiration for the couple, Su Wu and Ling Xiao.

The resentment from when the two of them robbed his Treasure Pavilion years ago also dissipated a lot at this moment.

"Alright child, your parents are the most outstanding people I've seen in these thousands of years, the Cultivators most likely to reach the Limitless Realm. You will reunite one day..."

Qian Youcai came to Su Ming's side and comforted him softly.

Su Ming calmed his emotions before turning around.

"Senior Qian, thank you..."

Despite the many previous unpleasantries, at least at this moment, Su Ming's thanks were sincere.

"It's fine, it's I who should apologize to your family... Alright, this space is about to reach its limit. Little Nephew, I look forward to the day we truly meet."

Su Ming's consciousness returned to his Physical Body along with Qian Youcai's voice.

After his consciousness returned, he realized that the surrounding time hadn't changed at all; the time in that peculiar space was completely different from the outside world.

"Mr. Su, how was your discussion with the Pavilion Master?" Liao Qi asked cautiously.

However, Su Ming didn't answer. Instead, he signaled everyone to be quiet, then sat cross-legged and began to Cultivate Fortune and Blessing with all his heart.

The technique his parents had gone to great lengths to get for him, the foundation upon which Qian Youcai established the Treasure Pavilion, surely had its unique aspects.

Relying on his Innate Dao Bone, his own talent, and the cultivation insights left by Qian Youcai, Su Ming completed the entry-level stage of this Heavenly Dao Realm technique in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

After completing the entry stage, he slowly opened his eyes and then said in a relieved but slightly helpless tone, "So that's how it is..."

...After Su Ming's consciousness left, Qian Youcai's will still remained within the space.

Looking at where Su Wu and Ling Xiao's wills had been, he let out a long sigh.

He finally understood why, under the recent siege, Su Wu and Ling Xiao's wills could still remain so stable and not dissipate.

"Su Wu, Ling Xiao, you split your Souls to turn into wills to stay by your child's side... I, Qian Youcai, admire you."

Only by splitting one's Soul could it be so long-lasting.

And the price for doing so was that their Souls would never be complete again, which was fatal for a Cultivator.

Although it wouldn't cause their main body's strength to drop, it would prevent them from ever progressing further; especially in the Late Stage of the Dao path, only the more complete a Cultivator was, the further they could go.

A long time ago, when Qian Youcai met Su Wu and Ling Xiao, he thought they were the Cultivators most likely to step into the Limitless Realm.

Times had changed; he saw the couple again, only to find they had lost the qualification to enter the Limitless Realm.

"May you not fail your parents' expectations..."

"Hmm? He was actually able to enter the Fortune and Blessing so quickly? As expected of the Innate Dao Bone..."

Although he knew the time flow in the space he created was different from the outside world, Qian Youcai was still shocked by Su Ming's terrifying talent.

"Hehehe, that couple definitely doesn't know that as the creator of Fortune and Blessing, I can also observe other practitioners in reverse. Let me see what's going on with my Little Nephew..."

Qian Youcai immediately circulated the technique, relying on his privilege as the creator to observe Su Ming's situation.

More accurately, to observe Su Ming's 'fortune' and 'blessing,' which is his 'fate.'

However, after circulating the technique, he saw a deep purple light that seemed to swallow everything in the world, and an extremely fragmented thin line.

In an instant, Qian Youcai finally realized why Su Wu's temperament had changed so drastically back then, robbing every reputable Void power.

"This is impossible... Dammit! Su Wu! Ling Xiao! Give me back my touching moment! Your whole family is a huge pit!"
