The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 204 - 208: The Blissful Life of the Rich Second Generation (Part 19)

Chapter 204: Chapter 208: The Blissful Life of the Rich Second Generation (Part 19)

After that meeting, Kunlun Mountain’s Primordial Qi was greatly injured, and the newly appointed Sect Leader directly opened the grand formation of Kunlun Mountain, definitively closing the mountain and shutting its doors to outsiders.

As for members of the other sects, they also returned quietly like stupefied chickens, only urging their disciples to cultivate with even greater diligence.

According to the Immortal Cultivation Record of the Returning Ruins Continent, after that meeting at Kunlun Mountain, Joy Sect, having defeated Kunlun Mountain, established its important position within the Righteous Path of the Returning Ruins Continent with a momentum as unstoppable as splitting bamboo.

Fifteen years later,

On the sword training ground behind Kunlun Mountain, a slender young man held an iron sword, continuously swinging his arm up and down without pause. He stood on a large, flat rock, and aside from his sword-wielding hands, his figure hadn’t moved an inch since the moment he took his place there.

The young man was like a tireless machine, repeating the same motion over and over.

He focused on the sword in his hand, not even noticing when a pretty figure appeared beside him.

It wasn’t until the beautiful girl who had been standing there for who knows how long called out, "Brother," that the young man reacted.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the young man’s tightly pursed lips slightly twitched, quickly disappearing, but one could sense his taut muscles relaxing immediately.

Seeing that the young man finally put down his sword, the girl quickly stepped forward to offer him a silk handkerchief, her face showing a touch of distress as she gently said, "Brother, wipe your brow, look how you’re sweating."

The young man took the silk, and suddenly his expression turned ugly, "You Ruo, is he pressuring you again?"

Xu Youruo forced a smile, her head lowered as she said, "No, Father isn’t pressuring me, it’s my choice."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yichen felt extremely uncomfortable, his tone becoming instantly very cold, "You shouldn’t listen to Father and Mother, I don’t need you to sacrifice for me, I have already sensed the breakthrough, I’m about to establish my foundation, you don’t need to..."

Xu Youruo sighed deeply, suddenly interrupting, "Su Qingchuan reached the Golden Core yesterday, probably everyone on the continent knows by now, Joy Sect’s Young Master has achieved the Golden Core at the age of twenty, truly a heaven-sent genius, and Father and Mother are well aware..."

Xu Youruo fell silent for a moment, then added, "In three days, the Zen Sect’s Saint Heir will send someone for me, and I’ve agreed."

The countenance of Xu Yichen no longer showed the clear and bright features of youth, shrouded instead by gloom.

These two young individuals were none other than the twins born to Xu Huaiying and Hong Qingqing.

At that time, after all of Kunlun Mountain’s Supreme Elders were defeated by Su Li, Xuan Yuan Hengyuan, who had taken an interest in Xu Yichen’s talents, never brought up the matter of accepting him as a disciple again.

And the new incumbent Sect Leader held a disdainful view of the Sword Immortal Xu Huaiying, whose lineage had brought such a disaster upon Kunlun Mountain.

Naturally, they no longer favored Sword Peak with cultivation resources. Xu Huaiying was angry and resentful, but one’s arm can’t twist one’s leg.

After Su Li had shattered his master, the Sword Immortal’s, magic artifact, his cultivation could not progress even an inch, his lifespan was damaged, and, having no choice, he set out to seek opportunities in the wider world after his injuries had mostly healed.

As for Xu Huaiying himself, he realized on that day that there was a major problem with his Heart Realm—Su Li had become his greatest Heart Demon. Without ridding himself of this Heart Demon, his Realm would not advance and might even regress.

Regrettably, Su Li had become an ancestor of the Mahayana Realm, and Xu Huaiying had no opportunity to even get close to him, let alone rid himself of such an adversary.

He could still recall the humiliation he suffered that day, that feeling of utter despair at being powerless against a stronger opponent had taken root at the very depths of his heart.

Considering the situation, Sword Peak was practically abandoned.

What used to be the bustling Sword Peak, now lay cold and deserted.

Xu Huaiying was not content... Seeing the young child cradled in Hong Qingqing’s arms ignited a fierce hope within him.

He couldn’t do it, but it was fine if his son could accomplish it.

From the time he could remember, Xu Yichen was constantly reminded by Xu Huaiying that his future adversaries, his enemies, were the Joy Sect’s Mahayana Realm ancestors, Su Li.

When it came to Xu Yichen’s talent as the Innate Purity Sword Embryo, his cultivation was twice as effective.

He began Qi refinement at five, and now at fifteen was on the verge of a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, such a rate of progression was rare even in the history of the Returning Ruins Continent.

However, Xu Huaiying and Hong Qingqing were still dissatisfied, only because another Su Qingchuan loomed over Xu Yichen.

His other son.

Su Li had Su Qingchuan change his surname and, aside from Xu Huaiying, not a single person dared utter a word of objection.

That was the respect accorded to the strong; even Xu Huaiying dared only vent a fraction of his frustration on Hong Qingqing during the silent, unpeopled nights.

Su Qingchuan, with just the Five Spirits Roots, was only marginally better than a Spirit Root-less mortal, yet managed to break through to Foundation Establishment at fourteen.

Because of this, Xu Huaiying had been exceedingly harsh on Xu Yichen since he was young, and despite his considerable natural talent and rapid cultivation speed, it still wasn’t enough for Xu Huaiying.

With Su Li dominating over him, and even her useless son being bolstered in cultivation by Elixir Pills and sacred treasures, how could he possibly be content?

Xu Youruo’s talent was also admirable, with Water and Wood Dual Spirit Roots perfectly matching the cultivation technique of the Zen Sect’s Saint Heir. The Saint Heir was willing to offer a Heavenly Mountain Sacred Lotus in exchange for Xu Youruo serving him for three years.

To call it serving, everyone knew what it really meant, especially since that Saint Heir cultivated the Joyful Method.

Hong Qingqing was somewhat hesitant, but Xu Huaiying agreed without a second thought.

With the aid of the sacred lotus, Xu Yichen’s cultivation would break through without question.

Xu Huaiying had lost his mind...

In the end, despite Xu Yichen’s opposition, three days later, Xu Youruo left with the people from the Zen Sect.

The gloomy expression etched in Xu Yichen’s eyes was long-lasting. In addition to his own parents, he even came to resent Su Qingchuan, supposedly his own brother.

Wait and see, one day, he would trample all these people beneath his feet.

Su Qingchuan was still unaware that he had somehow inexplicably incurred further resentment.

And as for why "further"

That was because, as the Young Master of Joy Sect, the representative of the sect’s face, a handsome and dashing talented young man, he was already receiving ample attention. Naturally, he had seen many envious and resentful gazes too, and had long since grown accustomed to them.

At this moment, Su Qingchuan was happily strolling through the markets with Changsheng, Lingxi, and others.

He had just emerged from the secret chamber where he’d broken through to the Golden Core and immediately cleaned up and dashed outside. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The vibrant outside world was indeed more appealing.

After wandering around, Su Qingchuan led them toward a tea house that looked inviting. Just as they settled down, Su Qingchuan heard a female voice nearby, "Daoist friend, could you please give us your seat?"
