Chapter 101: Chapter 101: The Power of the Celestial Spirit Root

“She has left!”

Lu Xuanji flashed a faint trace of sadness.

At the beginning, the Clan Leader, the Grand Elder, and others all wanted to keep Ye Feixue in the Lu Family when they discovered her Celestial Spirit Root.

Back then, the Lu Family could have become a Purple Mansion Family, a Golden Core Family… but ultimately, the Lu Family was too small to accommodate such a great being.

The Lu Family is too small and can offer her very little.

Leaving is also good.

The world outside is her vast starry sky.

Putting away the sadness, Lu Xuanji opened a small booklet.

[Little Xue’s Notes]

The contents were recorded in a disorderly manner, spanning a large period, recording Ye Feixue’s cultivation insights and some daily matters.

[My name is Ye Feixue, originally called Er Ya. In my childhood, I was a child bride. Later, I met an immortal brother, who said I had a Spirit Root and could become an Immortal. Later, the immortal brother said he wasn’t an immortal, just a hard-pressed 007 cultivator]

[The moment my brother took me back to the county town, I had rice that tasted so sweet for the first time]

[I joined the Lu Family, and the first step to becoming a cultivator was learning to read. My classmates were six or seven-year-old children; but I was already thirteen and just beginning to learn to read, so embarrassing]

Feeling curious, Lu Xuanji continued to browse the notes.

[When I was fifteen, I was only at the first layer of Qi Cultivation, so embarrassing, am I a waste.]

[At sixteen, I stepped into the second layer of Qi Cultivation. Then I advanced one layer per year, reaching the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation at twenty-seven, but I dared not tell my brother because he was just at the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation]

[The Lu Family was destroyed by bandits, and my brother and I wandered outside, feeling so happy!]

[The Lu Family was being rebuilt, and my brother and I returned to Changyuan Mountain to see the Grand Elder. Without the Foundation Establishment Pill, my brother had to take a risk to attack the Foundation Establishment, fortunately succeeding. Later, I also established a foundation. After entering Foundation Establishment, I felt my brother was so weak, I could fight three of him, maybe five]

[After Foundation Establishment, I awakened the Innate Dao Embryo, greatly increasing my comprehension. In one day, I entered the Celestial Fire Technique, reached small success in a month, great success in six months, and perfection in three years. But with Spring Wind Wood Spirit Art, I struggled to even begin. Other attribute spells were also clumsy and hard to cultivate.]

[After Foundation Establishment, my cultivation speed increased, advancing one layer every two years. My brother again gave me some Spirit Stones, some elixirs, and my cultivation speed increased even more.]

[In just sixteen years, I reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment; but my brother was only at the second layer of Foundation Establishment. When my brother asked about my realm, I lied, saying I was only at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment]

[I began to impact the Purple Mansion]

[Brother, Grand Elder, father, and others responded to Ancestor Jin’s call, set out for White Tiger Mountain, I wanted to participate but was refused by the Grand Elder. That old woman Jin Xi was truly strong, with a single command, the surrounding cultivator clans followed]

[Spent ten years refining True Essence to the fourth layer, overcoming the second trial.]

[Spent seven years to unblock 108 small meridians, 1,000 micro-meridians, and 100,000 tiny meridians, overcoming the third trial.]

[Spent five years unblocking 365 major acupoints, 1,296 minor acupoints, and 129,000 acupoints within acupoints, overcoming the fourth trial.]

[Spent three years refining the Divine Soul, making it as tough as a blade, overcoming the fifth trial]

[Celestial Fire burns from the Dantian, scorching the five viscera and six internal organs; accompanied by Nightmare Wind, blowing from the Sea of Consciousness to extinguish the Divine Soul. After enduring for nine days and nights, overcame the sixth and seventh trials.]

[Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi reverse flow, Heaven and Earth Laws baptism, experiencing nine breaths, overcoming the eighth trial]

[Tian Xin inquired, why cultivate immortality? I followed my heart in answering, overcoming the ninth trial]

[Later, Tian Xin again asked, choose the path of following Heaven or defying Heaven? I chose the path of following Heaven, overcoming the tenth trial]

[Later, a trace of Divine Thought entered the Heavenly Dao Origin, using destiny as a pen, inscribed a name on the stone stele, overcoming the eleventh trial]

[The final trial is called the Trial of Cause and Effect, unspeakable!]

…

Flipping through the notes, Lu Xuanji was calculating the time.

“A seventy-two-year-old in the Purple Mansion, Celestial Spirit Root is truly terrifying!”

Lu Xuanji marveled.

He really didn’t understand the world of geniuses.

Such a growth speed was like soaring in the sky.

But he understood all the more that Little Xue leaving here was the best choice.

Here, the temple is small, and cannot accommodate a great Buddha.

Everyone could tolerate the Lu Family producing two Purple Mansion Cultivators, but not a Celestial Spirit Root Purple Mansion.

Moreover, the Lu Family couldn’t provide her with more resources, nor give her high-level cultivation techniques and divine secret techniques, better to let her venture outside!

Outside, she could find some fortuitous encounters, forge her own path.

A Purple Mansion Great Cultivator can leave Qingshui Commandery, even leave Chu Country, travel outside, and gain some opportunities. As long as luck isn’t too bad, mostly she’ll be safe and sound.

Foundation Establishment cultivators fare much worse. When they appear in foreign commanderies, strangers in a strange land, they’re easily preyed upon and robbed.

“Mobile, record information.”

Lu Xuanji said.

The mobile began recording.

The notes recorded a Celestial Spirit Root’s cultivation journey, this information was extremely valuable to him.

…

The next day, in the hall, Lu Xuanji saw the Grand Elder again.

“Grand Elder, Little Xue has left.”

Lu Xuanji said.

“Why does she act so impulsively!” the Grand Elder sighed.

“It’s not impulsiveness, she has entered the Purple Mansion!” Lu Xuanji explained, describing Little Xue’s situation.

The Grand Elder listened, wordless for a long time.

After a long while, he said, “Little Xue is a Celestial Spirit Root. Back then, there was a severe dispute between me and the Clan Leader over whether to keep or send Little Xue away, but now the dispute is gone. A small pond cannot nurture a flood dragon; the Lu Family’s pond is still too small, unable to sustain a True Dragon like Little Xue!”

“It’s best that Little Xue left; she’s safe, and the Lu Family is safe.”

“It’s just a pity that we spent so many resources over the years, now it’s a total loss.”

Lu Xuanji remained silent, unsure how to respond.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

At this moment, a formidable aura emanated from outside Changyuan Mountain.

The aura was as hot as a blazing sun.

A Purple Mansion Great Cultivator descended upon Changyuan Mountain.

“Not good, could a powerful enemy have arrived!”

The Grand Elder was horrified, saying directly, “If the situation becomes untenable, I’ll hold them off for a while, think of how to escape!”

His figure flickered and disappeared.

Immediately, the grand array of Changyuan Mountain began to operate, endlessly regenerating.

But the Grand Elder had little confidence, as the grand array of Changyuan Mountain could only hold a Purple Mansion Great Cultivator for a brief moment, before being destroyed.

He could only hope that Xuanji would use this chance to escape.

Outside, staring into the void, he breathed a sigh of relief and directly opened the array.

He flew out of Changyuan Mountain and respectfully asked, “Miss Long Xuan, what brings you to my Changyuan Mountain?”

Long Xuan restrained her aura and smiled, “It’s good news, good news has befallen the Lu Family.”
