81: Intercept Lu Qiuyan

【Year 53.】

【This is your first year joining the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.】

【You became an Elder of the Mission Hall.】

【During this period, you were astonished to discover that Lu Qiuyan's Cultivation talent was mediocre.】

【And because Sect Master Lu Jiangshan of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect had many descendants and her parents had passed away early, Lu Qiuyan's life in the Profound Heaven Dao Sect was not easy.】

【The Cultivation resources she received monthly were even inferior to those of Personal Disciples.】

【But even with such a lack of importance, it was incredibly difficult for you to kill her.】

【You changed your approach.】

【You began to secretly contact Lu Qiuyan.】

【And you always gave extremely high evaluations for the tasks Lu Qiuyan completed.】

【Even if she failed a task, you would secretly change her task status to successful.】

【This behavior quickly caught Lu Qiuyan's attention.】

【She asked you why you were helping her.】

【And your reply to her was: "You are very much like my deceased wife."】

【"Deceased wife?" Lu Qiuyan's gaze involuntarily turned to your "daughter" Su Qingluo, and she found that she did not resemble her at all.】

【"Not in appearance, but in experience."】

【You murmured, explaining to her.】

【In your story, your so-called deceased wife was like Lu Qiuyan.】

【She was the granddaughter of a powerful Sect Master.】

【Having mediocre talent since childhood, she did not receive much help from her family, and her Cultivation speed was extremely slow.】

【Moreover, by the time she Cultivated to the Golden Core realm, she had exhausted all her potential, and her repeated forced Breakthroughs had left hidden dangers on her Cultivation path.】

【Even with your help, she eventually died of old age in the Nascent Soul realm.】

【This was a lifelong pain in your heart.】

【And now, after seeing Lu Qiuyan, you found that her experiences were very similar to your deceased wife's.】

【Therefore, you did not want her to repeat the mistakes of your deceased wife, which is why you offered her help.】

【After hearing your story, Lu Qiuyan was silent for a long time.】

【She was moved, because her current situation was extremely similar to that of the "deceased wife" you spoke of.】

【Although she had now Cultivated to the Golden Core, having seen many Void Tempering and even Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, how could she be content with this?】

【After her parents passed away in her childhood, she rarely received extra Cultivation resources from the Lu family.】

【She relied on her own efforts and the few Cultivation resources available to Inner Sect Disciples, Cultivating step by step to her current level.】

【Only she knew the hardships involved.】

【Year 55.】

【Under your careful guidance, your relationship with Lu Qiuyan grew better and better.】

【Over the years, you abused your authority to secure many benefits for Lu Qiuyan.】

【Her Cultivation also began to advance by leaps and bounds under your guidance, quickly reaching the Peak of Golden Core.】

【Year 56.】

【Lu Qiuyan began to attempt a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, while you used your contributions to the Sect over the years to successfully exchange for a Nascent Soul Condensation Pill.】

【She broke through.】

【Feeling her Cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, she couldn't help but become dependent on you.】

【Year 57.】

【You successfully became Dao Companions.】

【This process was very smooth.】

【Even in the eyes of Sect Master Lu Jiangshan of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, it was a huge profit.】

【In his eyes, Lu Qiuyan was just a marginalized Disciple of his Lu family, an expendable existence.】

【Now, being able to win over a Void Tempering sixth-layer Cultivator for his Lu family was naturally the best outcome.】

【Your Dao Companion ceremony was very lively, personally presided over by Sect Master Lu Jiangshan.】

【No one in the entire Profound Heaven Dao Sect dared to disrespect him, and they all came to congratulate you.】

【And in the same year, you successfully gave birth to a baby girl.】

【You breathed a sigh of relief.】

【The following days were incredibly comfortable and pleasant.】

【Soon it was Year 63.】

【By this time, you had already become an Elder of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.】

【And it was during an Elder meeting that a piece of news from the Taichu Imperial Court arrived.】

【The Tai Chu Emperor wished to marry Lu Qiuyan.】

【These mere dozen words greatly shocked you.】

【In this simulation, you could say you were with Lu Qiuyan day and night.】

【She and the Tai Chu Emperor had never even met, so how could this message come about?】

【You were somewhat puzzled.】

【Lu Jiangshan was the same.】

【But out of consideration for your years of loyalty to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, he politely refused the Tai Chu Emperor.】

【However, Lu Jiangshan's actions did not make you feel at ease.】

【Instead, a sense of Crisis Awareness subtly sent you a warning.】

【You immediately felt that something big was amiss.】

【To prevent yourself from ending up with a tragic fate in this simulation.】

【You decisively decided to withdraw from the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.】

【You took Lu Qiuyan and Su Qingluo and left the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.】

【And this time, you didn't even return to the Eastern Continent Cultivation World.】

【Instead, you chose to come to the relatively unfamiliar Yellow Sand Cultivation World.】

【This is the legendary Cultivation World with the most arduous living conditions.】

【And because the living conditions here are extremely harsh, only a few Buddhist Sects and sword Sects Cultivate bitterly here.】

【They are Fanyin Temple, Tianzhu Temple, Mingwang Sect.】

【And Jianwang Pavilion.】

【Besides these, there is no other Tribulation Transcendence power in the Yellow Sand Cultivation World.】

【Although the conditions were harsh, fortunately, you hadn't been idle in the Eastern Continent Cultivation World and Central Continent Cultivation World over the years.】

【At this time, you already had a large amount of Cultivation resources, enough to Cultivate for a very, very long time.】

【You Cultivated peacefully here.】

【Year 70.】

【By this time, the turmoil in the Central Continent Cultivation World had passed.】

【You immediately returned to the Central Continent Cultivation World to inquire about the situation at that time.】

【It turned out that shortly after you took Lu Qiuyan away, the Grand Tutor of the Taichu Imperial Court personally came to the Sect.】

【This person was the Tai Chu Emperor's teacher.】

【Before the Tai Chu Emperor ascended the throne, he had rendered outstanding service.】

【This person's personal visit was enough to show the Tai Chu Emperor's sincerity.】

【Lu Jiangshan immediately personally received him.】

【However, by this time, you had already vanished without a trace.】

【Even Lu Qiuyan had been taken by you to the desolate Yellow Sand Cultivation World.】

【Even if Lu Jiangshan wanted to agree to this marriage at this moment, what could he do?】

【And after learning that you had taken Lu Qiuyan away, the Taichu Imperial Court immediately began to search for your whereabouts.】

【But you were well prepared for this.】

【After several years of searching, they found no trace of you.】

【And just last year, the Tai Chu Emperor married again, and the object of his affections was changed to Wen Zirou, the only daughter of the Taichu Imperial Court's Prime Minister.】
