Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 182 - 181 The Family Splits into Two Paths

Chapter 182: Chapter 181 The Family Splits into Two Paths

True Fire Sect.

Leng Li sat cross-legged on Molten Heart Island, meditating, with layers of high-quality Fire Spiritual Energy drawn from the Magma Sea spiraling around her, continually being refined and incorporated into the circulation of Spiritual Power within her body.

Her hair flew around in the air, and a trace of sweat slid down her somewhat heroic face.

Her realm was also steadily approaching the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm.

Molten Heart Island, one of the cultivation islands for Inner Sect disciples of the True Fire Sect, absorbs the Fire Spiritual Energy from the Magma Sea. It is the True Fire Sect’s treasured land, where the Spiritual Energy Concentration is as high as 12 points!

Although it was far from matching the Spiritual Energy Concentration of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, compared to the locations accessible to Outer Disciples, cultivation here was much more efficient.

A few days after returning from the Danai Dynasty, Leng Li had been cultivating continuously, her practice exceptionally focused, so much so that she seemed somewhat impatient for success.

“The Fiery Fire Dynasty sent three to the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect… without me.”

She was hailed as a genius among the young cultivators of her generation in the True Fire Sect, with Wood and Fire Dual Spirit Roots, and her fame in the Fiery Fire Dynasty was considerable. Everyone knew her future achievements could very likely rival those at the Golden Core Stage!

Sect Leader Fan Di also cultivated her with care, allowing her the use of many treasures within the sect, and frequently sending her to cultivate in the secret realms opened by their sect at the bottom of the Molten Lava Sea.

She had access to the best resources of the True Fire Sect, but in the end… all three from the Fiery Fire Dynasty were set to go to the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, except for her.

Yang Fu’s talent utterly surpassed Li Yao with the Heavenly Spirit Root, Yang Fushuo’s Alchemy Dao was peerless, directly accepted by the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect’s Elixir Pavilion, and Shi Hong’s talent edged out hers and he had already achieved Foundation Establishment.

She was indeed not equal to those three… At this very moment, she suddenly recalled a sentence from a book that Yang Fu had brought from his hometown.

“When there is Yu, why then did Liang exist.”

The Fierce Sun Six Heroes shared a close relationship, but now that three were about to go to an Upper Sect, something within her beckoned her to continue cultivating… Only through cultivation could she find peace.

At that moment, a Fire Bottle flew across the sky. Standing atop it was Yang Fu.

Feeling his approach, Leng Li gradually concluded her practice, and subtly used her Spiritual Energy to sweep away the sweat and dust from her body.

She stood up, her smile slight.

“Junior Brother Yang’s cultivation is truly profound, capable of commanding objects to move at the third layer of the Qi Refinement Realm…”

“It’s just a little trick.”

After Yang Fu landed, he scanned Leng Li carefully, noting her excellent figure and appearance, like a fairy, unlike Shen Yao’s girlish demeanor. Leng Li possessed a kind of heroic spirit unique to female Fire Cultivators, adding a distinctive charm.

Yang Genshuo couldn’t help but nod in approval.

“From this angle… Leng Li bears some resemblance to Zhang Ziyi in ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,’ carrying a certain female warrior’s grace.”

“She should be just fine as a daughter-in-law for the Yang Family.”

“Cultivators really are a crowd of handsome men and beautiful women.”

Leng Li saw that Yang Fu had something he wanted to say, so she took the initiative:

“What brings Junior Brother Yang to Molten Heart Island today? Have you prepared everything for your trip to the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect?”

She only had admiration and respect for this talented junior brother, without a trace of jealousy, especially after witnessing the righteous deeds of the Yang Family members suppressing Demon Cultivators—she held the Yang Family in very high esteem.

“Hmm… How long has Senior Sister been in the sect?”

“I manifested my Spirit Root as a child and was sent by my family to grow up in the sect. It’s been 25 years.”

“Oh, does Senior Sister have someone special within our sect?”

Upon hearing Yang Fu’s direct question, Leng Li’s face flushed slightly, and then she replied frankly:

“I am dedicated to cultivation and have no time for romances. Moreover… my future Daoist couple must possess talent and strength surpassing mine, yet within our sect, I have not met such a person.”

“Oh, except for Junior Brother Yang.”

Leng Li, a dual spirit root genius who wanted to find someone even stronger than herself, had set a spousal standard that virtually prepared her to stay single for life.

“Leng, are you willing to….”

Yang Fu hesitated as he spoke, feeling rather bashful; it was too embarrassing.

Besides participating together in the contest for the Immortal Path, the two hardly had any interactions, and now the elder was forcing him to ask her to be his daoist couple… This was just too coercive.

Yang Fu felt that a true daoist couple should be like him and Shen Yao: mutually admiring each other, having a connection of hearts, and always smiling at the sight of one another…

However, since the elder had spoken, he had to follow through, even if he felt it was unlikely to succeed.

‘This is not for me; it’s for the Yang Family!’

He bolstered himself with these thoughts.

Leng Li was somewhat puzzled, still not understanding what Yang Fu intended to do.

“Willing to do what?”

“To become daoist couples with me, to become one of the Yang Family, and to accompany me to Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.”

Leng Li was taken aback. She had intended to refuse right away; as cultivators pursue the great path of heaven and earth, why talk about daoist couples at a young age? She had no plans of this sort before the age of a hundred.

But what Yang Fu said in the latter half made her hesitate.

To go to Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect…

As the champion, Yang Fu could bring three members of the Yang Family to Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.

Even if not as an official disciple of Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, the places where ordinary Immortal Clans practiced far surpassed True Fire Sect’s Molten Heart Island.

Once there, she would be closer to the Great Path…

“But I… I don’t harbor any romantic feelings for you, Brother Yang.”

“Feelings can be developed over time. Pursuing the Immortal Cultivation Path together, why wouldn’t it be an admirable story?”

“…”

Leng Li was tempted.

She didn’t want to lie to herself, the mere words ‘Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect’ were too alluring!

Hadn’t she been pushing herself to cultivate these days just because she couldn’t go to Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect?

She was afraid that her former friends would surpass her, becoming figures she would have to look up to for life!

She feared becoming just another face in the crowd, eventually failing to reach the Golden Core Path and dying in obscurity…

Watching Leng Li daydream, Yang Fu couldn’t help but ask, “Leng?”.

Glancing at Yang Fu, Leng Li thought, isn’t he stronger and more talented than herself… If he could lead her on the Immortal Cultivation Path, why not?

“My lord, I am willing to go with you.”

“Ah!?”

This response astonished Yang Fu.

“Since I’ve made my decision, I will not hesitate any longer. Only those with a resolute will can pursue the Path of Immortality. Why are you surprised, my lord?”

“I haven’t finished speaking. You know about Sister Shen Yao…”

“I will serve you alongside Sister Shen Yao, and guide her in her cultivation during our leisure time.”

“Ah… very good, very good.”

Once released, Leng Li immediately began to arrange the affairs of the Yang Family’s harem…

Yang Genshuo could only exclaim, impressed.

“My Yang Fu threw a straight ball, and she just slammed it back with a dunk… respect, respect!”

In the contest for the Immortal Path, Yang Genshuo had a bit of insight into Leng Li’s character—a cultivator with a pure and straightforward mind, and this was ultimately why he decided to let Yang Fu take her in.

Marrying this type of straightforward and single-minded female cultivator was a good thing for the Yang Family.

And most crucially… Leng Li was a Dual Spirit Roots cultivator!

Her true talent far surpassed that of everyone in the Yang Family!

“Yang Fu marrying Leng Li has improved the quality of the Spirit Roots in the Yang Family bloodline, the benefits for the descendants of the Yang Family are boundless…”

Yang Fu, Yang Fushuo, and Yang Fuqing at best only had Four Spirit Roots… because Yang Shi had no Spirit Root, and Jiang Xiaobai was just an ordinary cultivator with Five Spirit Roots.

Yang Genshuo felt that if he hadn’t used the “Blessing: Spirit Nurture” on each child, they wouldn’t even have seen the Four Spirit Roots.

As for Yang Fujian, with both parents having no Spirit Roots, even after using a blessing that cost 200 incense, he only possessed a few Martial Arts talents and lacked even the Five Spirit Roots.

But Leng Li was a genuine genius; her Spirit Root talent would impact all the descendants of Yang Fu’s line.

“In the future, the Yang Family might produce several children with Dual Spirit Roots… at that time, with my manipulation, they’ll soar!”

Yang Genshuo didn’t even dare to imagine how awesome it would be to play with a few high-talent children!

“Moreover, Yang Fu is very strong now, built upon his unique talent, but this talent will only sustain him until the Foundation Establishment Stage; after that, he is likely to be a strong contender in the Foundation Establishment Stage but may have no chance at reaching the Golden Core Stage…”

Yang Genshuo wanted to take advantage of Yang Fu’s strongest phase to trick a real genius into becoming a daughter-in-law.

And Leng Li willingly took the bait, not minding the existence of Shen Yao in the slightest.

As for Shen Yao… her cultivation was inferior to Yang Fu’s, and her talent even more so. She had nothing but the filter of moonlight and a heart aligned in affection. From Yang Genshuo’s perspective, in terms of benefit to the Yang Family, she couldn’t compare to one-tenth of Leng Li.

“But who lets my Yang Fu like her…”

Yang Fu shared his thoughts with Shen Yao and said that this was the opinion of the Yang Family, and Shen Yao did not oppose… perhaps because she didn’t have the ability to oppose.

If she wanted to be with Yang Fu, she had to accept Leng Li’s presence.

Yang Genshuo’s decision might seem cruel to her, but this was the way of the Yang Family Immortal Clan.

If she disagreed, Yang Genshuo would even find another Three Spirit Roots female cultivator to become Yang Fu’s wife and bring her over.

In this way, Yang Fu arriving there could ensure the Yang Family’s lineage continued, and the Yang Immortal Clan would have a place in the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect in the future.

“Family interests above all else…”

Having won two battles with high efficiency, Yang Genshuo shifted his gaze towards Yang Fushuo.

He was very conflicted because the elder had designated for him a Three Spirit Roots female cultivator he felt no attraction to, named Tian Mumu, who was also one of the surviving Fierce Sun Six Heroes.

She had been quite proactive in assisting.

Yang Genshuo was interested in her for a simple reason… Tian Mumu admired Yang Fushuo.

She had already been extremely forward with Yang Fushuo, but this fellow either played dumb or truly was dumb, giving no response at all.

Yang Genshuo felt that he couldn’t have endured as Yang Fushuo did when he was younger.

A beautiful girl with a pleasant personality, who always considers you, actively pursuing you is hard to resist…

Chen Wanting once did the same, didn’t she?

At that moment, Yang Fushuo arrived at Heart Fire Peak, where Tian Mumu was located, in a hesitant manner.

Yang Fushuo looked helplessly at the sky.

“Great Ancestor, can’t I take Huang Sheng instead? I think his results in testing elixirs are very good… and in the future, he could also become a strength for the Yang Family.”

“No, go now!”

What was Huang Sheng compared to the importance of passing down the Yang Family’s legacy?

Your father and mother made an effort just this morning, so don’t even think about running away!

At that moment, Tian Mumu on Heart Fire Peak saw Yang Fushuo, her eyes lighting up with a full-faced smile.

“Hey~ hey, hey! Brother Fushuo~ you came to see me?”

Tian Mumu, upon seeing Yang Fushuo, quickly ran over with a Fire Technique, leaving a trail of blazing after-images behind her feet.

“Have you eaten, Brother Fushuo? Want to come to my place for a bite? I have top-quality spiritual wine and spiritual food…”

“Are you troubled by something, Brother Fushuo? Is it because you’re going to the Upper Sect soon and reluctant to leave everyone?”

“You should come down to see us when you get the chance… I’ll always remember you!”

Tian Mumu got herself emotional, her eyes brimming with tears, as if they were about to part soon… meanwhile, she also lamented her own budding feelings, doomed to end before they even began.

Yang Fushuo glanced up at the sky again; his great ancestor’s big palm was hanging overhead…

“Sigh…”

“Tian Mumu, be my Daoist couple, and come with me.”

“!!!”

Tian Mumu’s big eyes widened in surprise, and joy spilled from them.

Then she hugged Yang Fushuo’s arm and leaned against his chest.

“Brother, you mustn’t be playing a trick on me…”

Yang Fushuo looked up at the sky, his mind seemingly filled with thoughts.

Yang Genshuo’s goal had been accomplished.

“From now on, the Yang Family will be divided into two parts. Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo, taking the family’s foundation, will go to the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect to take root and flourish, establishing the Upper Sect’s Yang Immortal Clan, while Yang Shi will take Yang Fuqing and Yang Fujian to the Danai Dynasty and Fiery Fire Dynasty, cultivating deeply in the Devil Wind Forest.”

Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo said their farewells to the Dan Fire Sect Leader and True Fire Sect Leader.

The two Sect Leaders gave them a lot of advice, as if watching two children leave home.

Not until Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo said they would take three people with them… the two Sect Leaders had prepared a gift for them to take as their trump card, but now they outright refused to provide it!

Just the two of you and Shi Hong should go, why take away two geniuses as well!

Actual dogs!!!

The Sect’s Yuan Qi seriously depleted!

Three days later.

Yang Fu, Yang Fushuo, and Shi Hong took Shen Yao, Leng Li, and Tian Mumu aboard the tribute ship and headed back to the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect…

Five of the Fierce Sun Six Heroes had left.

The remaining male cultivator pondered over it for a lifetime…
