46: Aotian Sect

"You begin to rest and recuperate here."

"Your fifth child is born; she is Cui Lingyun's child, a baby girl."

"To your pleasant surprise, she is actually a Cultivator with an Ice Spiritual Root."

"Although she has a dual Ice-Metal Spiritual Root, with the blessing of the variant Spiritual Root, her Cultivation speed is not inferior to that of a Single Spiritual Root Cultivator."

"You name her Su Qingning."

"In the same year, your eldest son and second son begin to marry and have children."

"The Family's influence grows increasingly stronger."

"In the 100th year, the former land of the Great Wu Dynasty begins to gradually recover its vitality."

"Although the Dynasty Alliance still frequently conscripts Cultivators, a new rule has been added: those with money contribute money, and those with strength contribute strength."

"As long as a force pays enough Spirit Stones, they can be exempted from conscription."

"You realize that the war might be coming to an end."

"Or perhaps the Dynasty Alliance has already gained an overwhelming advantage."

"They no longer need these low-level Cultivators."

"Year 106."

"Your Family is developing and thriving."

"Your grandchildren begin to be born."

"Fat Second Master and the others, who began working for you from the very beginning, establish a merchant guild under your arrangement."

"Although there are not many Cultivators in the former site of Great Wu, according to your memories, it will return to prosperity in a few decades."

"Year 110."

"Your Spirit Beast, the Green Scaled Flood Dragon, completes its transformation and successfully becomes a Tier 4 Yao Beast."

"The Great Wilderness Beast God Scripture feeds back a certain amount of Cultivation to you, and your strength is once again improved."

"Added to the help of Heaven Rewards Diligence over these years, your Cultivation successfully reaches the second level of the Nascent Soul stage."

"At the same time, you also begin to worry."

"Because once a Cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, they can Cultivate Divine Abilities."

"If one has not Cultivated Divine Abilities, their strength will naturally be a bit lower than other Nascent Soul Cultivators."

"You begin to ask Dan Juezi for advice on Divine Abilities."

"However, Dan Juezi tells you that he is devoted to Alchemy and longevity, and does not know any Divine Abilities. Although he once had many Secret Manuals regarding Divine Abilities, these things were all plundered by the Heavenly Soul Hall."

"You feel some regret and ask him where Divine Abilities can be obtained."

"Hearing this, Dan Juezi falls into deep thought."

"After a long while, he says: 'Like high-level Cultivation Techniques, Divine Abilities are the key to the Legacy of a force. Apart from those Secret Realms from the ancient era, no one will pass on Divine Abilities to outsiders.'"

"'However, speaking of Secret Realms, I do actually know of a place that is about to open...'"

"You naturally know he is talking about the Divine Sword Secret Realm."

"If you were still a Golden Core Cultivator, you wouldn't mind giving it a try."

"But now that you have become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, how can you still enter?"

"Suddenly, you think of Dan Juezi."

"In the last Secret Realm, he entered as a Soul entity in the Undergoing Tribulation stage; is there a method to bypass the Secret Realm's restrictions?"

"You hurriedly ask him for advice."

"However, the final result leaves you quite disappointed."

"Dan Juezi has no way to enter."

"Or rather, with only Golden Core strength now, he has no way to enter the Secret Realm."

"You feel somewhat helpless."

"But you are not Chu Han, and you do not know what method he used in the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range to restore Dan Juezi."

"Moreover, even if you could restore him, you do not plan to do so."

"Because you do not believe that your own Nascent Soul stage methods could control a Soul in the Undergoing Tribulation stage."

"Year 117. At this time, it is ten years until the opening of the Divine Sword Secret Realm."

"However, news of the Secret Realm has already been released in advance."

"The former site of Great Wu has become bustling, and your business has improved a lot."

"Your Dao Companions and offspring are eager to try their luck."

"But knowing the entire development process of the Secret Realm, you do not intend to let them participate."

"The reason is simple: because you killed Chu Han in advance, it will cause Kelei Academy to dominate alone."

"With the strength of Tang Chuan and his six teammates, I fear that even if everyone else in the Secret Realm swarmed them, they would not be their match."

"Year 127."

"Your fourth son, Su Qingyun, successfully breaks through to the Golden Core stage."

"Young and frivolous, he wants to explore the outside world, but you stop him."

"You arrange a marriage for him, hoping to restrain him with it."

"But who would have thought that Su Qingyun would secretly leave the Su Family."

"You know he must have gone to the Divine Sword Secret Realm."

"You feel some regret that you could not keep an eye on Su Qingyun."

"Because he possesses a spiritual body similar to Mu Ningshuang's, there is a high probability he will be favored by the Divine Sword True Lord."

"And because the Divine Sword True Lord has a damaged Soul, he acts without thinking and will directly instill the Legacy into Su Qingyun."

"At that time, Su Qingyun will certainly be harmed by Tang Chuan!"

"You instruct Feng Xuanji and Mu Ningshuang to take all the Cultivators under their command to the Divine Sword Secret Realm to protect Su Qingyun."

"However, they ultimately fail."

"Su Qingyun is ambushed by Tang Chuan; although he saves his life by relying on his spiritual body and the timely arrival of everyone, his entire Cultivation is completely ruined."

"After learning this news, you are furious."

"But looking at the Void Tempering Cultivator leading the Kelei Academy team, a feeling of powerlessness wells up in your heart."

"'Don't you dare run!'"

"Hearing this, you look up at the sky."

"Seeing that the final Legacy is actually obtained by Kelei Academy, many Cultivators from the Dynasty Alliance immediately take action to seize it."

"They are numerous and powerful, quickly blocking the Soul Transformation Cultivator leading the Kelei Academy team."

"However, at this moment, a giant hammer descends from the sky, directly smashing two Dynasty Alliance Cultivators into meat paste!"

"'Those who dare to hurt my son, die!'"

"This person stands tall and straight, his eyes shining brightly; if it weren't for this sentence, you would be unable to connect him with the once decadent Tang Chui."

"'Who are you?!'"

"'Proud Heaven Sect, Tang Chui!'"

"Upon hearing the name Tang Chui, many Cultivators from the Dynasty Alliance are confused; after all, in their memories, there is no such person as Tang Chui."

"They are somewhat wary of the Proud Heaven Sect, but unfortunately, the Proud Heaven Sect had long ago joined forces with Kelei Academy to oppose their war, so they are destined not to walk the same path."

"At this moment, an Old Ancestor steps out from the Dynasty Alliance's ranks and says: 'Fellow Daoist of the Proud Heaven Sect, please do not be anxious. I ask that you listen to me explain.'"

"'Before allowing these few young friends to enter the Divine Sword Secret Realm, our Dynasty Alliance made a three-point agreement with Kelei Academy. Although we could allow them to enter, the greatest Opportunity must belong to our Dynasty Alliance.'"

"'On this point, you may ask the Fellow Daoists from Kelei Academy beside you.'"

"'Of course, the actions of these Fellow Daoists beside me just now were also wrong, and I am willing to apologize to you on their behalf.'"
