263: Reverse Tian Gang

The old man snorted coldly on the spot.

His eyebrows and hair stirred without wind, and his eyes were filled with rage.

"Bragging! Let this old man properly teach you a lesson. Let's see how you, a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator, plan to trample my entire Tianling Peak single-handedly!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianming extended a finger and shook it dismissively from side to side.

"No, no, no. You are not worthy of me making a move; you don't have that qualification!"

"I think at your age, you should try sparring with my daughter, so you can't say that I, a young man, am bullying an old man like you!"

"Qu Wan'er, where are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall young girl wearing a white dress appeared. She stood gracefully, though she looked a bit shy, rubbing the hem of her skirt with her hands as she slowly walked to Chen Tianming's side.

After Chen Tianming used the energy converter to create energy gems, everyone in the villain family had become a cultivator.

Chen Tianming then used various heavenly treasures, rare gems, immortal pills provided by the system, and a series of other treasures to assist and supplement them.

Even Qu Wan'er's physique had undergone a change.

She had transformed from a small child into a young girl, brimming with vitality and blossoming like a flower bud.

When the sect elder saw the young girl, his eyes suddenly widened.

"This girl has remarkable natural talent; at such a young age, she can already circulate spiritual energy on her own, heh! However, with a mere sixth-level Qi Refining cultivation base, how can she possibly deal with this elder!"

Chen Tianming gently nudged Qu Wan'er's shoulder.

"It's alright, Wan'er. If you can't beat him, then Daddy will step in, and I'll definitely beat him until he's looking for his teeth all over the floor!"

Qu Wan'er had never fought in her life, so she could only nod shyly.

However, she still had no concept of what fighting was like.

She didn't even know how to begin.

At this moment, Chen Yun, who was standing beside Qu Wan'er and was noticeably taller—though the two looked to be about the same age—stood coldly behind his sister.

"It's okay, Sis. If you really don't know how to fight, just throw all the energy inside your body into that old man's face!"

With Chen Yun's guidance, Qu Wan'er nodded immediately.

There was no bowing or saluting.

Qu Wan'er let out a soft cry, and the white, semi-transparent spiritual energy within her body instantly erupted outward.

With a loud boom, a powerful wave of energy pressed down upon the old man's body.

His eyes filled with terror, and he nearly collapsed to his knees right then and there.

However, the old man forcibly held his ground using the magic treasure in his hand and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"What kind of cultivation technique is this, so bold and unrestrained! A mere sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator is actually suppressing this elder!"

But immediately after, all the energy stored within Qu Wan'er's body neared dissipation.

Her body automatically entered a state of exhaustion.

Consequently, Qu Wan'er was like a piece of paper swaying in the wind, falling backward and drifting downward.

Chen Tianming reacted quickly, gently raising his hand to catch his daughter in his arms.

Cradling his fainted daughter with great affection, Chen Tianming didn't care at all what the old man was doing.

The sect elder said coldly.

"It's a waste for this girl to follow you; she doesn't even know how to fight. Calling this a duel, I feel a bit like I'm bullying the girl. Why don't you come up yourself? I'll let you see just how weak the Qi Refining stage really is!"

"If you win, I will open the mountain gate and let you pass. If you lose, leave your child behind, and I will be her mentor. Although this child is a girl, she will surely achieve great things in the future!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianming snorted coldly.

"Fine! Because of those words, I won't kill you today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Wan'er, who had been very weak in his arms, seemed to have vitality injected back into her instantly.

She opened her eyes, her gaze bright and lively, and she leaned shyly against her father's shoulder.

Chen Tianming set his daughter down.

At the same time, he tapped the center of Qu Wan'er's forehead.

"Daddy has restored your spiritual energy, and I'm gifting you a magic treasure. Remember, you must use it flexibly!"

Having regained her spiritual energy, Qu Wan'er felt a sense of satisfaction.

Encouraged by her father, she was even more jubilant and no longer afraid of fighting.

She took a step forward and flew into mid-air.

Strong winds raged in the sky, yet Qu Wan'er remained as steady as Mount Tai.

At this time, Chen Yun came to Chen Tianming's side.

"Dad... are you trying to use that elder to temper Qu Wan'er? But Sis is a girl..."

Chen Tianming patted the back of Chen Yun's head.

"Girls, boys, it's all the same... Think about it, she is your family. Don't you want her to be as strong as you, or even stronger?"

Chen Yun was a Child of Luck, a Child of Destiny.

It was unknown from which cultivation system novel he had been sent to this world, only to coincidentally become his son.

Originally, the two should have been mortal enemies.

But unexpectedly, Chen Tianming received a subjugation mission issued by the system.

And Chen Yun was also willing to serve under him.

As for Chen Tianming, he had seen the actions of Lei Li, an outstanding figure within the cultivation sect, and felt deep disdain for him.

Therefore, he believed that something like luck must be seized by a Child of Luck.

If Chen Yun was bent on competing for his own luck, he might eventually become someone like Lei Li.

So now, while Chen Yun was still young, he had to instill the correct values in him.

Everyone in this world has their own destiny.

And this world also has the destiny of the world.

It is acceptable to allow others to be stronger than oneself, but one must not allow enemies to surpass oneself.

This is the fundamental principle of conducting oneself in the world.

At this moment, Chen Yun nodded.

"If Sis can be stronger, that would naturally be better!"

When he turned his head back, the expression in his eyes told Chen Tianming that he had fully understood the meaning behind Chen Tianming's words.

Chen Tianming said with a smile.

"Good, good, good! Just watch. With your support, your sister will definitely be able to take down this old man!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sect elder made his move.

His methods erupted suddenly with the force of thunder.

He had learned his lesson.

Just now, Qu Wan'er had used her minute Qi Refining spiritual energy, accumulating it and releasing it in a sudden burst.

This could be considered quite an intimidating opening move against the elder.

He was afraid that if he were slightly negligent, he wouldn't be able to react to Qu Wan'er's next move.

Losing the duel didn't matter, but he feared that it would eventually lead to a disaster that would harm the sect behind him.

In mid-air, the gale winds were fierce, and a white ribbon descended from the sky, like a great serpent wanting to coil around and entangle Wan'er.

But unexpectedly, at this moment.

A brilliant light shone from the center of Qu Wan'er's forehead.

A dense burst of fire-elemental spiritual energy surged out.

Qu Wan'er actually pulled a sword out from the center of her forehead.

The sword was three zhang long, with a thick blade and radiating precious light.

Held in the hands of a young girl, this thing appeared quite domineering.

Qu Wan'er needed both hands to lift it, and she swung it in a rotation toward the old man.

Her entire body rotated three hundred and sixty degrees.

The old man laughed heartily.

"You little girl! If you don't have the strength, don't come to duel!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, an incredibly violent sword aura was released from the blade.

Accompanied by the cry of a phoenix, it blasted toward the old man's body.

Boom!!

The old man retreated three steps in mid-air, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"How is this possible! A sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator!! This is simply reversing the celestial order!"
