This ti, the ditation retreat took just over a month—a little longer than Xu Zii had anticipated, due in part to the unexpected changes in the Chaos Pearl.
The enhancent this ti was almost a qualitative leap in strength, and Xu Zii could feel the power brimming throughout his body.
Most importantly, having entered the Empty Vein Realm, he now possessed the ability to tread through the air.
When Xu Zii stepped out of his room, he felt as though the outside world had been cleansed, becoming exceptionally clear and pristine.
The various spiritual dicines on both sides of the Goose Southern Peak courtyard seed more vibrant than ever, as if they had been blessed.
This reminded Xu Zii of the surge of spiritual energy that coincided with condensing his True Fate.
"Senior Brother," Xiao Guizi hurriedly approached to greet him.
"Has anything happened during my retreat?" Xu Zii nodded and inquired.
"The Deputy Sect Master visited before; he said to look for him once you’ve erged from seclusion," Xiao Guizi replied. "And I’ve heard from the disciples at the Sect Gate that our True Martial Holy Sect’s Sect Protection Array was activated recently."
"The Sect Protection Array?" Xu Zii’s brow furrowed. He already had an answer in mind.
It seed that the disturbance from his breakthrough had caught his father’s attention. Due to the scarcity of spiritual energy around Goose Southern Peak at the ti, his father had had no choice but to harness the Sect Protection Array to gather a vast amount of spiritual energy for him.
No wonder the spiritual dicines in his courtyard were flourishing—it was all thanks to the bath of spiritual energy.
"I understand," Xu Zii nodded.
"Oh, and Senior Brother, Senior Brother Lin also visited several tis, but since you were in seclusion, he had to leave," Xiao Guizi added.
"Ruhu?" Xu Zii nodded knowingly. He was sure that Ruhu had probably figured it out as well.
......…
After leaving Goose Southern Peak, Xu Zii went straight to his father’s Azure Mountain Peak.
Xu Qingshan always seed to wear the sa blue robe, but compared to the last ti Xu Zii had seen his father, there was a new sharpness to his deanor.
"Father," Xu Zii greeted.
"Seeing you have not neglected your cultivation, I must say, I’m truly relieved," Xu Qingshan said with a smile.
"I will make every effort. It was you who activated the Sect Protection Array, wasn’t it?" Xu Zii asked.
Xu Qingshan nodded and replied, "I don’t know what great fortune you stumbled upon, nor do I want to probe into it.
After all, you’ve grown up and have secrets of your own.
Just rember, your father will always be your staunchest support. You can co to with anything."
"I know, I’ve always known," Xu Zii nodded vigorously. He didn’t consider himself particularly sentintal.
But humans are strange creatures—sotis, it’s not the grand earth-shattering deeds that move you to tears.
Sotis, it’s the seemingly insignificant acts of care that reveal soone’s true feelings for you.
Xu Zii felt a sting at the bridge of his nose, recalling how in his previous life he’d believed his father didn’t care about him.
He’d always felt that the Sect Gate was more important to his father than he was.
But it was only after he was cast into Secluded Dragon Gorge, and his father mobilized the entire sect to avenge him, that he truly understood.
So people loudly proclaim their willingness to go through fire and water for you, but how many can actually do it?
While others simply support you in silence, which surpasses any words—it’s a conviction.

"I say, when you father and son are together, can’t you talk about sothing else? It’s all about cultivation all day long," Wenren Yun said discontentedly from the side.
"Talk about what? At his age, the most important thing is cultivation," Xu Qingshan replied.
"Mo Er, you’re also fifteen this year, aren’t you? Have you t a girl you fancy? Your mom is still waiting to hold your child for you," Wenren Yun glared at Xu Qingshan and asked Xu Zii.
"Mom, how old am I this year, what’s the hurry," Xu Zii quickly shook his head.
"Just look at the grandson of the fourth elder; he has more than a dozen maidservants.
And look at you, those two maidservants I sent you, Chun Xiao and Xia Qiu, you haven’t even touched them," Wenren Yun said discontentedly.
Won, sotis, beco a bit long-winded when they speak.
Wenren Yun probably also hardly saw Xu Zii, so she started to chatter on and on.
"As for your dad, there’s nothing in this life more important to him than the martial path, he’s wholeheartedly trying to step into the Divine Vein Realm.
Later, when the Sect Master left, he even took on the heavy responsibility of acting as the Sect Master.
Now you, you’re exactly like your dad when he was young, with eyes only for cultivation.
I’ve never been much interested in cultivation in my life; I just hope you and your dad can be safe. When you have a family and children in the future, I can still look after them for you.
Otherwise, if I wait a few hundred more years and reach the end of my lifespan, there won’t be a chance for to take care of them then."
"What nonsense are you talking in front of the child? With here, no matter the cost, I won’t let you leave ," Xu Qingshan said hurriedly and anxiously.
"Then you have ti to look at more often, your mind is filled with nothing but cultivation and the sect," Wenren Yun started to feel aggrieved upon hearing Xu Qingshan’s words.
Xu Zii, seeing the deep love between his parents, realized they had entered the stage of flaunting their affection and quickly brought up an excuse to leave.
"You two, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first."
"If you have a girl you fancy, rember to tell your mom. I’ll help you propose," Wenren Yun quickly said.
Hearing his mother’s words, Xu Zii’s pace quickened.
"The Sect will soon open the Blood Demon Secret Realm, and I’ve secured a spot for you. Get ready,"
Xu Qingshan’s voice followed from behind, Xu Zii paused, "The Blood Demon Secret Realm."
The Blood Demon Secret Realm was a special secret realm within the True Martial Holy Sect, inhabited by a very strange kind of creature.
"Blood Demon!"
Although Xu Zii had never been to the Blood Demon Secret Realm before, he had heard quite a bit about it.
The realm was dangerous, but it also ca with opportunities.
It was said that by killing a Blood Demon inside, one could obtain a Blood Demon Crystal.
The Blood Demon Crystal was a treasure that could strengthen the vitality of the human body; the strength of one’s vitality affected not only one’s attacking power but also endurance.
In a battle between two martial artists of the sa realm, the strength of their vitality, to a certain extent, was also a factor in deciding the outco.
Thinking of the Blood Demon Secret Realm, Xu Zii smiled. In the previous evolution of the River of Fate, he had seen so different things.
He had originally planned to go to the Pure Moon Divine Realm, but before that, Xu Zii felt that the thing in the Blood Demon Secret Realm might co in handy.
After leaving Azure Mountain Peak, Xu Zii had barely returned to Goose Southern Peak when he ran into Lin Ruhu.
