Luo Chen glared at her, "A kind mother spoils the child! If you dare to pursue that thod of dividing and planting the Demon Gu again..."
"Father, I won’t cultivate anymore. Don’t bla Mother."
Luo Lingxi interrupted Luo Chen, her face desolate, yet there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
Luo Chen waved his hand and sighed, "Why hurry? Your father had this potential at sixteen, but truly began cultivation only at twenty-seven. You still have ti. Once I’m fully prepared, I’ll help you resolve the Demon Heart Gu issue, and it might even accelerate your cultivation speed, making you a genius on the Path of Immortal."
Luo Lingxi’s eyes brightened, "Really?"
Sima Huiniang guessed a possibility and trembled, saying, "Husband, are you planning to go to the South Border to seek the Demon Heart Gu Emperor?"
Previously, when Luo Chen returned to Mount Sky Cliff, he handed over the book on solving the Demon Heart Gu to Sima Huiniang.
At that ti, it was rely to appease his Dao Companion Cultivator’s anxiousness.
Unexpectedly, under the deep affection for his beloved son and the influence of the Tribulation Gu, he nearly made a grave mistake.
Luo Chen sighed ethereally, "Let’s first resolve the ss you’ve caused!"
Then, Luo Chen imposed a ten-year confinent order on Sima Huiniang alone, and left hastily with Luo Lingxi.
...
On Elixir Mountain, four tiny figures awaited aimlessly.
Xiao Xuan asked confusedly, "Why did the Sect Master bring us to Elixir Mountain? This is the cultivation place of the Supre Elder."
Zhao Lang said excitedly, "Is it because our recent cultivation speed has been extrely fast and far surpassing our peers, attracting the Supre Elder’s attention?"
Among the four, the only female disciple, Yin Baiqiu, also couldn’t help but beco joyful.
"I’ve heard the Supre Elder has only one Beginner disciple. Now that the sect has settled, might he want to take disciples again and personally nurture them?"
The thought of the Supre Elder taking on disciples stirred an intense discussion among the three.
Only a middle-aged man with a dark complexion seed to be lost in thought.
Yin Baiqiu curiously asked, "Senior Brother Zang, why are you silent?"
Zang Yuzhi suddenly ca to, faced by the three Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters watching him, hesitated to speak, then shook his head.
"Our talent isn’t considered great, these recent leaps in strength have only been aided by high-quality Spirit Veins. The Supre Elder wouldn’t look favorably upon us."
Zhao Lang responded displeased, "Why so self-deprecating? We all entered together, and only we progressed swiftly. Doesn’t that say enough?"
Zang Yuzhi remained silent with a worried expression appearing on his face.
At this mont.
In Luo Chen’s Cave Mansion, Li Yingzhang was detailing the situation of the four outside.
"All are new disciples with clean backgrounds and no dependencies within the sect."
"Among the four, Xiao Xuan and Zhao Lang hail from the secular world, possessing Triple Spirit Root talent. Yin Baiqiu is a descendant of a fallen clan that initially wanted to depend on Luo Tian Sect. We adhered to your command not to accept dependents, but took in Yin Baiqiu because of his Spirituality."
"Zang Yuzhi is rather unique, having a fortunate encounter in childhood. I checked; he inadvertently entered the site where a Golden Core Cultivator fell and gained so benefits, though nothing valuable enough for the sect to interfere."
Luo Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"A disciple’s fortune is their own, as long as they’re loyal to the sect, it’s unnecessary to covet."
Li Yingzhang shared a similar sentint; everyone has their secrets, possibly aiding their cultivation or perhaps being an unspeakable flaw.
The sect is like a parent, but needn’t concern itself with every affair, lest it contradicts the principles of Immortal cultivation which value personal understanding.
He curiously asked, "Supre Elder, why specifically call these four? What are your plans?"
Luo Chen opened his mouth but eventually sighed, detailing what his family had done to him.
He disclosed everything without concealnt, even sharing his future plans to leave the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land with Li Yingzhang.
Upon hearing the entire story, Li Yingzhang was taken aback.
Such a family scandal, why did the Supre Elder reveal it?
But soon, he understood.
Although Sima Huiniang and Luo Lingxi are Luo Chen’s dearly loved family, the hundreds in Luo Tian Sect are also considered Luo Chen’s family.
And as the acting head, it is essential for him to be inford of everything.
"Huiniang, having failed to respect her elders, has been ordered to ten years of confinent, unable to ddle in any matters of Luo Tian Sect henceforth. You might also find a way to suppress the influence of the First Generation Sect Master, as a slight punishnt."
Li Yingzhang hesitated, "Isn’t this too harsh? After all, she is the First Generation Sect Master!"
Luo Chen avoided the topic; right then, Sima Huiniang’s Dao Heart had been disrupted, making her entirely unfit to be a respected elder of the sect.
"As for Luo Lingxi, being young and swayed by Gu Insects and his mother, he unknowingly strayed from the path. Thus, I’ve chosen to forgive and forget. Ying Zhang, what’s your view?"
Li Yingzhang hesitated, "What should be done with the four disciples affected by him?"
"That’s precisely why I called you to bring them today."
Luo Chen already had an idea, saying slowly, "In a mont, I’ll personally remove the yet-to-take-root Demon Heart Gu from them. During this process, their realm and foundation might be impacted. Afterward, I’ll bestow a wealth of resources for supplent. You shall also help nurture and assist them in achieving Foundation Establishnt and extending their Lifespan, giving so peace of mind."
Li Yingzhang breathed a sigh of relief, fearing the Supre Elder might secretly eliminate the four.
"Supre Elder is benevolent!"
Luo Chen chuckled self-deprecatingly. Benevolent, is it?
If Luo Lingxi and Sima Huiniang weren’t his family, in any other sect, committing such a grave sin would have been t swiftly with death.
"Bring them in, then!"
Li Yingzhang nodded and personally escorted the four inside.
The mont the four saw Luo Chen, they found themselves deeply entranced by the Mirror Flower, Water Moon, unable to extricate.
During the removal of the Demon Heart Gu, they felt no pain.
Only afterward, they realized their realm had declined, accompanied by aches.
As if sothing had left them.
Bewildered, the four departed from Elixir Mountain.
Their impression of the Supre Elder was only of a gentle smile, along with abundant cultivation resources suited to them, urging them to forsake arrogance and diligently pursue cultivation.
Is this end?
Not quite!
"Ying Zhang, keep a close watch on the sect to ensure such an occurrence doesn’t repeat." Luo Chen instructed, handing Li Yingzhang the sealed Demon Heart Gu.
Li Yingzhang understood Luo Chen’s intention; it was to keep an eye on Luo Lingxi to prevent potential chaos within the sect.
At long last, this family and sect-involving lodrama concluded with Luo Chen’s decisive actions.
When everyone had departed, Luo Chen exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi.
"It’s said clear officials struggle with dostic affairs; this is even more troubleso than grasping the Law’s True Intent!"
After muttering, Luo Chen sensed a growing urgency.
Ultimately, before leaving the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land, there were two tasks to complete.
One was to understand and grasp a unique True Intent of Law, the other to awaken Cang Long.
The Cang Long side, guided by his Soul Splitting and controlled Chen Yuan Immortal Mirror, progressed rapidly, nearing awakening.
Yet for him, interrupted during insight, it was just shy of completion.
"This ti, I’ll attempt to craft the Fla Dragon Birth technique talisman!"
Luo Chen concluded to refine another Fourth Order Technique to Finalization, entering that prior state again.
Before beginning, he first fetched the Primordial Chaos Tripod for examination.
The Natal Magic Item, after the battle in dicine King Realm, had never fully restored.
Whether using it for subduing the Tribulation Gu would cause issues was uncertain.
No sooner had he begun examination, Luo Chen’s face changed abruptly.
"Where has the Tribulation Gu gone?"
