Chapter 636: Chapter 642: Rebellion Chapter 636: Chapter 642: Rebellion Hearing these words, Wei Ningchen’s eyes instantly widened with disbelief as he asked, “Master, why? Shuo is a good person, and her aptitude is not poor, surely she can accompany all the way.”
He really couldn’t understand the reason his master disapproved; no matter how he looked at it, neither of them was at a loss by becoming Dao companions!
“Look at you now! Deeply rooted in love! Do you know how difficult it is to transcend the Emotional Tribulation!?” The elder’s face beca unprecedentedly serious as he barked harshly.
“Why must I transcend the Emotional Tribulation? My mutual affection with Shuo is not one-sided, unrequited love; it won’t affect my state of mind at all!”
Wei Ningchen spoke resolutely, “But if Master insists on being a love rival, forcibly separating us, that would be the true Emotional Tribulation!”
This was the first ti he had spoken to his master so forcefully, but for the sake of his beloved, he didn’t care even if it was presumptuous.
“Very well, very well!”
The elder laughed angrily and said coldly, “What a mutual affection! Then let see how long your feelings for her will last! When you think back on today in the future, I hope you won’t have regrets!”
“You can beco Dao companions with Li Chengshuo, but you cannot bring her into the Wanxiang Sect! Nor will I acknowledge her as my disciple’s wife!”
Having said this, the elder got up with an indifferent expression and left with a flick of his sleeve.
“Thank you, Master, for granting this!”
Wei Ningchen bowed deeply towards the elder’s retreating back.
Even without his master’s blessing, even without the ability to bring Shuo into Wanxiang Sect, he was determined to be with her for a lifeti!
——
Wanxian Island.
“This Red Dust Heart Inquiry Array you’ve set up is truly formidable, even capable of refining my state of mind,” Li Zhirui said, opening his eyes wide with amazent.
To think that he, who was most confident in his Dao heart, would normally be unaffected by illusionary realms, yet the Great Array created by Jiang Fengwu managed to imrse him so deeply that it took a mont for him to regain clarity.
It also proved once again that Wei Ningchen’s affection for Li Chengshuo was absolutely from the bottom of his heart, sincere and true!
“Of course!” Jiang Fengwu tilted her head slightly, exuding imnse pride.
“How about you leave the formation here, so that the clan mbers can co and test themselves, enhancing their state of mind,” Li Zhirui suggested.
He wanted to do this in the hope that the array would help more clan mbers achieve Golden Core breakthroughs!
With the aid of the Sky Cleansing Pill and the Golden Ganoderma Pill, the difficulty of the Thunder Tribulation for Golden Core had already been greatly reduced. For those with a solid foundation and robust mana, there was a high probability of successfully transcending the Thunder Tribulation.
So why then was the failure rate still so high?
The main reason was that many clan mbers, perhaps from birth to the present, had never experienced much hardship outside, lacking willpower and strength, easily falling prey to the Heart Demon Illusion Realm, hence failing the Tribulation.
Other reasons included factors like luck and Karmic Force, but these were rare.
The presence of the Red Dust Heart Inquiry Array nicely made up for these shortcomings and deficiencies.
“Just make sure the clan gives the Spirit Stones,” Jiang Fengwu said nonchalantly, as her purpose in creating this Formation—to test Wei Ningchen’s sincerity towards Li Chengshuo—had already been fulfilled.
Li Zhirui nodded, and he would soon go and discuss this with the Clan Leader Li Darong.
“Now that this matter has finally co to a close, I can concentrate on my ditative cultivation in seclusion,” Jiang Fengwu sighed. She had held off on her seclusion out of concern that she would miss Wei Ningchen’s arrival and not have ti to test him.
“Focus on your seclusion. I will handle the family matters,” he assured her.
That evening, the two intertwined in the clouds and rain on Mount Wu all night long, and the next day they were not the slightest bit tired. Instead, they felt more spirited, and even their cultivation had seen so improvent!
This is the remarkable aspect of dual cultivation.
Of course, such practices should not be indulged in too often, otherwise why bother with arduous cultivation and enlightennt? One could simply engage in dual cultivation every day and ascend to the Upper Realm.
After seeing Jiang Fengwu off to the ditation chamber, Li Zhirui spoke with Li Darong about the Heart Inquiry Array and quickly received several hundred thousand from the clan for the purchasing expenses.
As the saying goes, the wool cos from the sheep itself!
Hence, when clan mbers used the Heart Inquiry Array, they had to pay so Spirit Stones, which served both to recoup the cost and to make a small profit.
Aside from daily cultivation, Li Zhirui would occasionally take the ti to refine a few batches of Spirit Pills and Precious Pills, or ntor the juniors in their cultivation.
A few months later, Li Chengshuo erged from seclusion, still a considerable distance from the Golden Core Late Stage. It was uncertain whether he could achieve a breakthrough before the opening of the Secret Realm of Wanxian.
“Shuo, this is the ssage Wei Ningchen asked to pass on to you,” she said during her visit to Li Zhirui and handed the Jade Slip directly to her.
The ssage was brief. It said that he had to focus on cultivation to strengthen himself before the opening of the Secret Realm of Wanxian and therefore couldn’t enter into a daoist union with her during this ti. He hoped Li Chengshuo would forgive him and promised her a huge surprise after the conclusion of the Secret Realm.
Li Zhirui sat across from her, observing the changes in her expression – from initial anticipation to gradually sinking into disappointnt, and finally to a smile tinged with hopeful longing.
“Dad! Mom didn’t make things difficult for Ning Chen, did she?” Li Chengshuo suddenly thought of Jiang Fengwu’s attitude towards the two of them and asked with so trepidation.
“She made it difficult,” Li Zhirui replied, sighing helplessly in his heart as he watched her worried look. It really is true that a grown daughter is not kept at ho!
“But that young man did well and passed Fengwu’s test, so now she no longer objects to the two of you being together.”
“Really? That’s wonderful!” Li Chengshuo exclaid in excitent.
“Alright, enough!”
Li Zhirui interrupted her joy with a stern voice, saying, “The opening of the Secret Realm of Wanxian is imminent. Your task now is to focus entirely on improving your strength and not to think about marrying that slly boy.”
He had not looked at the Jade Slip, and this request was actually made by Jiang Fengwu to Wei Ningchen before his departure, in hopes of ensuring his safety in the dangerous Secret Realm.
Nobody expected that the sect leader of Myriad Puppet Peak had the sa plan.
“Dad, don’t worry, I will do my utmost to break through to the Golden Core Late Stage!” Li Chengshuo promised seriously.
She still hoped to see Wei Ningchen before entering the Secret Realm.
“Then follow . I’ll take you to a place.”
Soon, the two of them entered the Spirit Realm.
Feeling the dense and pure Spiritual Energy within, Li Chengshuo’s confidence surged. In such an environnt, she was certain she could make a breakthrough!
“The three of you can cultivate in peace in the Spirit Realm. I will co in once every year to give you so guidance and provide you with so Spirit Pills. However, do not force anything; prioritize your own cultivation above all else!” Li Zhirui cautioned.
“Yes! Dad/Ancestor, rest assured!”
The three of them responded in unison.
“Cultivate well.” With those words, Li Zhirui disappeared in a flash.
