48: End, Reshape

[You fell into despair.]

[Although these reinforcements from Kelei Academy came from a nearby branch, even so, they had several Cultivators whose cultivation was stronger than yours.]

[You were no match for them.]

[At the same time, the branch dean made his move.]

[The pressure of the Peak Nascent Soul Realm instantly enveloped you.]

[You understood that you would probably not escape death today.]

[You self-detonated your Metal Spirit Body and burned your cultivation.]

[In an instant, powerful energy surged into your body.]

[You prepared to make a desperate final stand.]

["Break!"]

[With your loud shout, several Cultivators of Kelei Academy were directly blasted into a bloody mist.]

[But this was far from enough.]

[An attack of this level was not enough to deter the remaining Kelei Academy Cultivators.]

[Having no other choice, you had to fully stimulate your Physical Body's power again and began to burn your lifespan.]

[Your body grew taller, and every limb and bone filled with power.]

[Even a gentle wave of your hand could tear through the Void Realm.]

[A flash of determination crossed your eyes.]

[With a wave of your hand, you instantly unleashed hundreds and thousands of palm prints, heading straight for that branch dean!]

["Bang! Bang! Bang!"]

[The branch dean could not dodge in time and was instantly slapped into a bloody mist by you.]

[But before his death, he also unleashed an attack at you with all his might!]

["Pfft!"]

[A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from your mouth.]

[This made your already damaged Physical Body completely overwhelmed.]

[You collapsed to the ground.]

[At this point, you had lost all your cultivation and your Physical Body was ruined; you had completely become a crippled person.]

[Those Kelei Academy Cultivators originally wanted to step forward and kill you, but after glancing at the Dynasty Alliance Cultivators rushing over from the distance, they quickly fled.]

[A moment later, the Dynasty Alliance Cultivators arrived.]

[They looked at you, who was on the verge of death, and then at those dead Kelei Academy Cultivators. Without saying a word, they simply picked up Tang Chuan's corpse and left.]

[Only a middle-aged man landed.]

[You recognized the newcomer.]

[His name was Lin Ya. Back when wiping out the Ghost Nether Sect, you had been in his squad.]

[Lin Ya checked your physical condition.]

[After a long silence, he sighed, flying off into the distance with the other Dynasty Alliance Cultivators.]

[Watching his departing figure, your lips twitched slightly.]

[Actually, you really wanted to say that you could still be saved.]

[But at this moment, you couldn't make any sound.]

[You fell into a coma.]

[Three months later, you woke up.]

[With the enhancement of the Power of Leadership, you, who had completely lost your cultivation, regained a portion of it.]

[Furthermore, although you had burned your cultivation and lifespan before, your Body Refining Realm was still intact.]

[Though weak at this moment, you were still essentially a Tier 4 Body Cultivator.]

[You quickly returned home.]

[Although your Body Refining Realm remained, you had already become white-haired due to burning too much of your lifespan.]

[Your Dao Companion and children did not recognize you at first.]

[It wasn't until you mentioned that you had slain Tang Chuan that they finally reacted.]

[You asked them about what had happened back then.]

[As it turned out, Old Ancestor Jin Yao's cultivation was extremely powerful, forcing the people of the Proud Heaven Sect to retreat in just a few moves.]

[But after that, he seemed to have sensed something and left this place in a hurry.]

[And those Dynasty Alliance Cultivators didn't linger after getting Tang Chuan's corpse, leaving in a rush.]

[You were deeply puzzled.]

[But you had no idea what had happened.]

[You could only urge them to Cultivate quickly, before rushing to Su Qingyun's Immortal Cave.]

[At this time, his cultivation was completely gone, and his lifespan had become like that of a Mortal. He had also turned into a white-haired old man.]

[He wept bitterly, regretting that he hadn't listened to your decision.]

[You looked at his aged face without saying a word.]

[After a long silence, you took out the Wild God Body Refining Art.]

["Tang Chuan has been slain by my own hands. Give this Cultivation Technique a try."]

[In the end, thousands of words of blame turned into a single expression of care before leaving your mouth.]

[You silently left Su Qingyun's Immortal Cave.]

[The 132nd year.]

[Although your cultivation was completely gone, preventing you from cultivating from then on.]

[With the help of the Power of Leadership, you still returned to the first layer of Foundation Establishment.]

[At the same time, your Body Refining Realm reached the Peak of Tier 4. With a suitable opportunity, you would be able to break through to Tier 5 Body Refining.]

[The Great Wu ruins were incorporated into the territory of the Great Abyss Dynasty, and development was restored here.]

[The Su Family's development was thriving.]

[You also welcomed your descendants one after another.]

[The 138th year.]

[Su Qingyun did not fail your expectations; he successfully broke through to Tier 2 Body Refining before his limit approached.]

[Although his future path of cultivation would still be difficult, at least he no longer had to worry about his lifespan.]

[The Power of Leadership activated.]

[Your Body Refining Realm received a certain boost.]

[Feeling the bit of strength coming from your body, you felt that you might be able to attempt a Breakthrough to Tier 5 Body Refining now.]

[The 139th year.]

[With extensive preparations, you finally successfully broke through to Tier 5 Body Refining.]

[Your lifespan was significantly increased, and you shed your former white-haired appearance.]

[In the same year.]

[The cultivation of Mu Ningshuang and Feng Xuanji had both reached the absolute limit of their current Realms, requiring only a suitable opportunity to break through.]

[Although you knew that with their cultivation talent they might not need Nascent Soul Condensation Pills, you still spent a fortune to buy two Nascent Soul Condensation Pills for them in the newly opened Yuanzun Market.]

[This was a market newly opened by the Great Abyss Dynasty. To restore vitality to the former Great Wu ruins, they specially introduced a batch of low-priced Medicinal Pills to attract people.]

[But even so, the two Nascent Soul Condensation Pills cost you most of your savings.]

[The 142nd year.]

[Mu Ningshuang and Feng Xuanji successfully broke through.]

[The Power of Leadership activated, and your cultivation experienced a massive surge.]

[You successfully recovered to the Golden Core Realm.]

[Furthermore, over these years, your grandchildren had also embarked on the path of cultivation. Although their Realms were relatively low, given time, they would still provide you with considerable assistance.]

[The 143rd year.]

[Your fourth son, Su Qingyun, got married.]

[His bride was the youngest daughter of the Pavilion Master of the Pill King Pavilion in the Yuanzun Market.]

[They had known each other for many years, supporting and helping each other on the path of cultivation.]

[You felt deeply comforted in your old age.]

[Believing that they were a match made in heaven.]

[At the same time, with the help of the Pill King Pavilion, the Su Family Chamber of Commerce successfully purchased a prime location in the Yuanzun Market.]
