Chapter Index

    “This is… the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus!?”

    Xiao Xiyue arrived at Sumeru Cave Heaven and, seeing the Spirit Spring Eye with the crystal-clear lotus that glowed with a jade-like light, couldn’t help but exclaim.

    She looked at Lu Changsheng with beautiful eyes full of suspicion, wondering what was going on.

    Although the cultivation world certainly had more than one Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus,

    the age and size of the lotus in front of her were very similar to the one that Old Demon Black Crow had taken from the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm.

    At this moment, Lu Changsheng brought her to the cave heaven, making her suspect that this was indeed the lotus taken by Old Demon Black Crow.

    But this lotus had clearly been taken by Old Demon Black Crow. Her senior sister and the Grand Elder hadn’t been able to retrieve it. How did it end up in Lu Changsheng’s hands?

    “It seems that this Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus indeed comes from the secret realm you explored, Xiyue.”

    Lu Changsheng spoke with a sigh.

    He hadn’t expected that the spiritual item he acquired by chance would actually come from the secret realm Xiao Xiyue had been busy with all these years.

    Then, he explained the situation with the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus to Xiao Xiyue.

    “Ah…”

    Upon hearing that her daughter had been captured by Old Demon Black Crow, Xiao Xiyue felt a wave of fear and immediately looked at her daughter with concern, “Wangshu, are you okay?”

    “Mother, I’ve been fine for a long time.”

    Lu Wangshu said.

    She then spoke with a face full of grievance and fear, “Luckily, Father arrived in time when that old man…”

    “Wangshu…”

    Xiao Xiyue, hearing this, immediately hugged her daughter, feeling guilty and heartbroken.

    She hadn’t expected that, while she was away, her daughter would encounter such a life-threatening situation.

    However, these words also left her extremely surprised.

    Lu Changsheng had actually killed Old Demon Black Crow.

    One must know that this Old Demon Black Crow was no ordinary person.

    He belonged to the hegemonic force of the Liang Kingdom’s cultivation world, ‘Beast God Mountain’.

    Although he was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage,

    he was an old and experienced Foundation Establishment cultivator with considerable combat power.

    Especially when it came to escaping, he was second to none.

    “This demonic cultivator was already seriously injured at the time. I took advantage of his carelessness to kill him.”

    Lu Changsheng noticed Xiao Xiyue’s doubts and explained.

    “Changsheng, Wangshu, you must not let anyone else know about this.”

    Xiao Xiyue immediately warned them seriously.

    Right now, the matter of the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus had already been determined by the Azure Cloud Sect, which believed that a major force was involved.

    If the Azure Cloud Sect learned that Old Demon Black Crow was killed by Lu Changsheng, it would undoubtedly bring countless troubles, drawing the attention of the four great immortal sects of the Jiang Kingdom.

    “I understand.”

    Lu Changsheng naturally knew.

    He told Xiao Xiyue about the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus because he trusted her to understand the situation.

    Afterward, Xiao Xiyue revealed information about Old Demon Black Crow.

    “Old Demon Black Crow, Beast God Mountain…”

    Lu Changsheng lightly raised his eyebrows.

    He had heard of this ‘Beast God Mountain’ in his early years.

    The sect focused on Beast Taming, but it was different from the Spirit Control Sect or the Beast Taming Xu Family.

    They followed a path where they fused demon beasts with their bodies, using them for cultivation.

    As for the specifics, Lu Changsheng wasn’t clear.

    “Liang Kingdom is so far from our Jiang Kingdom. Why would Old Demon Black Crow come to Jiang Kingdom and appear in the Luoyun Mountain Range secret realm?”

    Lu Changsheng asked with some confusion.

    Liang Kingdom was adjacent to Yue Kingdom and Wu Kingdom, forming a tripartite balance of power.

    Although it was convenient for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to travel,

    it was still a very long distance from Liang Kingdom to Jiang Kingdom.

    “I’m not sure either. It might have something to do with the war between Yue Kingdom and Liang Kingdom.”

    Xiao Xiyue shook her head and said.

    Although she had one foot in the upper echelon of the Azure Cloud Sect, she was still just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

    She couldn’t know much about matters at the Golden Core level.

    “Mm.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded and then asked about Xiao Xiyue’s situation.

    Xiao Xiyue said that she had gained a lot from the secret realm this time and would be in seclusion at the sect for some time to cultivate.

    Lu Changsheng could come to the Azure Cloud Sect to find her if he needed anything.

    As for the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm, due to the matter with Old Demon Black Crow, the four great immortal sects were now jointly controlling it, and she wasn’t sure about the specific arrangements.

    “Xiyue, can you still get the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus?”

    Lu Changsheng asked Xiao Xiyue.

    Although the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus had an average effect,

    if it advanced to the Heavenly Yuan Treasure King Lotus, its value and effect would be completely different.

    It could not only be used as a spiritual eye item, a void treasure, or a second dantian, but it could also be used to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique!

    Now that he knew that the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus came from the Luoyun Mountain Range secret realm, Lu Changsheng naturally wanted to know if Xiao Xiyue could bring back more.

    After all, with the Wanling Bottle, given time, he could cultivate multiple Heavenly Yuan Treasure King Lotuses.

    By then, relying on the Heavenly Yuan Treasure King Lotus, the spiritual energy in Sumeru Cave Heaven could directly reach the third level.

    In the future, every genius in the family could even have a second dantian!

    “Changsheng, do you need the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus?”

    Xiao Xiyue was surprised.

    Lu Changsheng already had a Heavenly Yuan Treasure King Lotus; he didn’t need the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus anymore.

    Although the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus had an effect similar to spirit source beads,

    its cost-effectiveness was far inferior to that of spirit source beads.

    She had given the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus to Lu Changsheng as a gift simply because it had a decent effect and could be kept in the Sumeru Cave Heaven as decoration.

    “Mm. I have a Rare Treasure that can accelerate the growth of spirit plants.”

    “So I was thinking of trying to cultivate a few more Heavenly Yuan Treasure King Lotuses.”

    Lu Changsheng chuckled and said frankly.

    “Although the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus is easy to keep alive, it grows very slowly. To advance to the Heavenly Yuan Treasure King Lotus, it would take at least several thousand years of cultivation.”

    Xiao Xiyue said softly.

    Back then, the Azure Cloud Sect hadn’t harvested the Heavenly Yuan Treasure King Lotus because the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm was very suitable for the growth of the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus.

    Once transplanted, it would be very difficult for the lotus to continue growing.

    “Hehe, I’m just giving it a try.”

    Lu Changsheng smiled and said, “If it’s too troublesome, then forget it.”

    “Now that the secret realm is being controlled by the four great immortal sects, I’ll ask my senior sister later to see if I can exchange contributions for it.”

    Xiao Xiyue pondered for a moment and said.

    “Xiyue, don’t push yourself. It’s not that important.”

    Lu Changsheng said.

    He knew that getting the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus wouldn’t be easy for Xiao Xiyue.

    Xiao Xiyue stayed at Bihu Mountain for a month before returning to the Azure Cloud Sect.

    During this time, aside from spending time with her daughter Lu Wangshu, she also played the flute with Lu Changsheng and cultivated the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra.

    Lu Changsheng also tried to have Xiao Xiyue and Lu Miaoge cultivate the Sun aad Moon Reincarnation Sutra with him.

    As for Ling Zixiao,

    Xiao Xiyue and Ling Zixiao weren’t close yet.

    So things had to progress gradually.

    Otherwise, Lu Changsheng thought that with Xiao Xiyue’s Moonlight Spirit Body and Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Chant Physique, dual cultivation would certainly be effective.

    “Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!”

    On this day, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Lu Family Mansion and saw his daughter Lu Linghe practicing her punches and kicks in the backyard.

    Although she looked adorable, with her hair styled into two buns,

    there was a certain fierceness in her movements as she swung her fists and kicked.

    Only her childish heave-ho sounds softened this fierceness.

    “Xiao He, what are you doing?”

    Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh as he watched his daughter’s cute actions.

    “Daddy, this is the Ox Demon Mighty Fist I learned today.”

    Lu Linghe said crisply, striking a pose.

    She was already old enough to attend school.

    Recently, she saw people at school learning martial arts and became very interested.

    “Oh, the Ox Demon Mighty Fist? Come, let Daddy see how well you’ve learned it.”

    Lu Changsheng chuckled and beckoned to his daughter.

    “Daddy, take this punch! Heave!”

    Lu Linghe immediately shouted and launched a flying kick at her father.

    But before she could reach Lu Changsheng, she fell with a thud.

    Lu Changsheng: “???”

    He had actually thought his daughter had learned something.

    “That doesn’t count.”

    Lu Linghe didn’t cry or fuss. She quickly got up, wrinkled her nose, and said while looking up.

    Then, with a heave-ho, she shouted ‘Ox Demon Horns’ and charged at Lu Changsheng again.

    Lu Changsheng’s mouth twitched as he raised his hand to press down on his daughter’s forehead.

    “Ox Demon Horns! Ox Demon Trample!”

    Lu Linghe stubbornly pushed her head forward, flailing her little fists, but she couldn’t touch Lu Changsheng.

    “Sigh.”

    Lu Changsheng shook his head, picked up his daughter, and said, “Alright, alright, it’s time to eat.”

    “It’s time to eat already?”

    Lu Linghe’s little face lit up with joy. She panted slightly as she held her father’s hand and said, “Daddy, when I’m full and grow up, my fists will be able to hit you.”

    “Alright, then eat more.”

    Lu Changsheng smiled and ruffled his daughter’s hair.

    “Mm, I’m going to eat three bowls! And I’ve finished all the sugar pills you gave me, Daddy!”

    Lu Linghe continued.

    “Alright, Daddy will give you another jar later.”

    Lu Changsheng said indulgently.

    Time flew by, and before they knew it, a year had passed.

    The demon eradication order in Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world was gradually coming to an end.

    During this time, many demonic cultivators and bandits were struck down,

    but this also led to retaliatory attacks on Markets and family forces by many demonic cultivators and bandits.

    Half a year ago, the Hongye Valley Marketplace was attacked by a wave of demonic cultivators, leaving Lu Yuanzhong severely injured.

    If not for the talisman given by Lu Changsheng, Lu Yuanzhong might have lost his life at the Hongye Valley Marketplace.

    So in the following time, Lu Miaoyun also went to the Hogye Valley Marketplace to maintain order and prevent any mischief.

    During this period, Bihu Mountain was very peaceful, with no incidents occurring.

    Lu Changsheng spent his days as usual, refining pills, making talismans, refining equipment, and spending time with his wives, concubines, and children.

    During this year, Lu Changsheng had three more children.

    But the third generation of the Lu Family had unknowingly grown to over four hundred.

    However, the system didn’t give any red envelopes.

    One thing worth mentioning is that not long ago, Xia Zhiyue’s younger brother, Xia Zhaoyang, broke through to Foundation Establishment.

    He came to Bihu Mountain to pay his respects and invited Lu Changsheng and his sister to the Azure Cloud Sect to attend his Foundation Establishment celebration.

    At the Azure Cloud Sect celebration, Lu Changsheng and Xia Zhiyue learned some news.

    Because of his outstanding performance during the demon eradication mission, Xia Zhaoyang was valued by a False Core elder of the Enforcement Palace and became an official of the palace upon breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

    Although it was just a minor position, it was still a position of real power.

    In the future, his status at the Azure Cloud Sect would be much higher than that of Zhao Qingqing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

    Afterward, Lu Changsheng accompanied the siblings to pay their respects at their father Xia Long’s grave.

    “Father, my husband treats me well. Now that both Xiaoyang and I have broken through to Foundation Establishment, you can rest in peace.”

    Xia Zhiyue and Xia Zhaoyang knelt in front of their father’s tombstone.

    Xia Long was born a rogue cultivator. Now that both his children had broken through to Foundation Establishment, he could indeed rest in peace.

    After all, this was something that would be considered a great blessing even for a rogue cultivator.

    Even in a Qi Refining family, this would be considered a great honor.

    When Lu Changsheng and Xia Zhiyue returned to Bihu Mountain, they received a letter from their son, Lu Ping’an.

    He said that he had reached the peak of Qi Refining and was ready to break through to Foundation Establishment.

    Originally, Lu Ping’an should have reached the peak of Qi Refining much earlier.

    But because he switched to cultivating the Black Dragon Scripture, stationed at White Tiger Mountain, and spent time consolidating his foundation, he had taken longer.

    “Zixiao, Ping’an sent a letter saying he’s ready to break through to Foundation Establishment, so you’ll need to go to White Tiger Mountain for the time being.”

    After reading the letter, Lu Changsheng found Ling Zixiao and said.

    Although the demon eradication order was nearing its end, demonic cultivators and bandits were still a threat.

    Previously, with Lu Ping’an and the Nine Abyss Mastiff guarding the place, he had been at ease.

    But now that Lu Ping’an was returning to Bihu Mountain to break through to Foundation Establishment, someone else needed to guard White Tiger Mountain.

    “Alright.”

    Ling Zixiao nodded in agreement.

    Although the family had many Foundation Establishment cultivators,

    Lu Miaoge was now stationed aa the Hongye Valley Marketplace.

    Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, and Qu Zhenzhen coldn’t leave.

    Li Xingruo, Xia Zhiyue, and Bai Ling weren’t skilled in combat, so only she could go to White Tiger Mountain.

    Then, Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao headed to White Tiger Mountain together.

    As for Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng was very confident.

    After all, with so many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family and the Sumeru Tree King guarding the place, he would be able to return in case of any emergency.

    “Father, Aunt!”

    Lu Ping’an, Lu Qingsong, and the others heard that Lu Changsheng had arrived and immediately came to greet him.

    Lu Changsheng inquired about the general situation at White Tiger Mountain and then had his son Lu Qingsong hand over control of the formation to Ling Zixiao. After that, he took Lu Ping’an back to Bihu Mountain to break through to Foundation Establishment.

    Two months later.

    Lu Ping’an successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment, condensing the Black Dragon Dao Foundation.

    During the Foundation Establishment baptism, where he shed his mortal body, Lu Ping’an’s Hundred Refined Body Technique directly broke through to the seventh level.

    In an instant, Lu Changsheng not only gained a surge of powerful magic, advancing his cultivation, but the Hundred Refined Body Technique directly reached the peak of the eighth level!

    He was just one step away from breaking through to the third level in body cultivation!

    He wouldn’t even need Lu Ping’an’s Hundred Refined Body Technique to break through to the eighth level.

    As long as Lu Wangshu or he himself worked hard for a few more years, he could hope to reach the ninth level of the Hundred Refined Body Technique!

    “Father.”

    Lu Ping’an walked out of the wooden house and bowed to Lu Changsheng.

    Having just broken through, he exuded a fierce and imposing aura, full of authority and dominance.

    This was the effect of the Black Dragon Scripture!

    During cultivation, he was changing into a true dragon, with a hint of dragon’s might.

    Lu Changsheng, who was accustomed to his son’s gentle and broad-minded demeanor, found this new look somewhat awkward.

    “Mm, not bad.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded and told Lu Ping’an to continue consolidating his realm.

    “Yes.”

    Lu Ping’an nodded and returned to the wooden house to consolidate his cultivation.

    As he watched his son enter the wooden house, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but recall the time when his wife, Lu Lanshu, was pregnant with this son.

    At that time, although he had come to Qingzhu Mountain as a live-in son-in-law, arranged by the Lu Family, and had no real feelings for his wife,

    he still felt an uncontrollable joy when he learned that he was going to be a father.

    He still remembered the excitement, nervousness, and unease he felt while waiting outside the delivery room when Lu Ping’an was about to be born.

    “How time flies.”

    Lu Changsheng sighed with emotion.

    Forty years had passed, and he had gone from being a live-in son-in-law at Qingzhu Mountain to becoming a patriarch.

    The eldest son he had raised had also gone from being a mortal without a Spirit Root to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

    A month later, Lu Ping’an came out of seclusion.

    His aura of magic power was now restrained, and the fierce and imposing aura had disappeared.

    Only his once upright face now had a few more angular contours.

    “Your mother has always hoped for your success in cultivation. Now that you’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment, you should let her know.”

    Lu Changsheng looked at his son and found this appearance more pleasing to the eye.

    It had been a while since he had gone to Ruyi County.

    With his son breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he thought it was a good time to visit Ruyi County.

    “Mm.”

    Lu Ping’an nodded at this.

    In the past, he often went back to visit his mother, brothers, and sisters.

    But in recent years, he had been stationed at White Tiger Mountain and hadn’t visited Ruyi County in a while.

    Then, Lu Changsheng and Lu Ping’an left Bihu Mountain and flew to Ruyi County on a Spirit Boat.

    Originally, Lu Lanshu, Lu Qing’er, and Lu Zi’er all lived at Bihu Mountain.

    But perhaps, in the end, the gap between mortals and immortals made them uncomfortable living there, so they moved to Ruyi County, citing their children as the reason.

    The father and son flew the Spirit Boat to Ruyi County.

    Lu Changsheng thought back to the last time he had come, when his wives and concubines had gradually aged, and his children looked older than he did, and he couldn’t help but sigh and wipe his face.

    In an instant, his originally twenty-year-old appearance became weathered, looking more like a man in his fifties.

    But his eyes still shone with divine light, and dressed in a green robe, his demeanor was elegant, mature, and distinguished, making him look extraordinary at a glance.

    “Dad?”

    Lu Ping’an noticed Lu Changsheng’s actions, paused, and wanted to imitate him.

    “You don’t need to.”

    Lu Changsheng looked at his son and said directly.

    The two of them descended at Lu mansion.

    Previously, Lu Changsheng had asked Ling Zixiao to set up a simple array at Lu mansion to prevent any trouble.

    But this array naturally had no effect on him.

    “Lanshu.”

    Lu Changsheng saw a woman in her forties or fifties in the backyard, with a fair and dignified face, wearing a deep green palace gown, holding a cat, and called out softly.

    “Greetings, Mother.”

    Lu Ping’an bowed.

    Seeing how much older his mother had become, he felt a heaviness in his heart.

    He knew that the effects of beauty pills and age-defying spirit pills would gradually weaken as one aged.

    “Husband? Ping’an!”

    When Lu Lanshu saw the two of them, her expression was one of surprise and joy.

    She was surprised not only by Lu Changsheng’s arrival,

    but also by her husband’s appearance.

    After all, her husband was a Foundation Establishment cultivator with age-defying techniques. How could he have aged like this?

    She couldn’t help but ask, “Husband, your appearance…”

    “Hehe, I think it’s strange for our grandchildren to see me looking so young.”

    “How do I look now, with this older appearance?”

    Lu Changsheng smiled at his wife and said.

    “Even if you’re older, Husband, you’re still as handsome as a celestial being, with an immortal demeanor.”

    Lu Lanshu smiled.

    Although Lu Changsheng had aged, she found this appearance more natural and pleasing.

    After all, women are very sensitive about appearances.

    Even though she had taken the beauty pills and age-defying spirit pills Lu Changsheng had given her and looked much younger than her actual age,

    she still felt a sense of pressure in front of Lu Changsheng.

    “Hehe, I’ve come back this time with good news to tell you.”

    Lu Changsheng chuckled and said.

    “Good news? Is it about Ping’an?”

    Lu Lanshu immediately looked at her son and guessed.

    As Lu Changsheng’s wife, she had managed the mortal Lu Family in her early years and was not an ignorant woman.

    “Ping’an.”

    Lu Changsheng let his son speak for himself.

    “Mother, I’ve recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.”

    Lu Ping’an grinned at his mother.

    He had known since childhood that his mother had always wanted to have a child with a Spirit Root.

    When she learned that he had a Spirit Root, she had been overjoyed.

    Before he left, she had repeatedly told him to listen to his father, as well as to Aunt Miaoge and Aunt Miaoyun, after he arrived at Qingzhu Mountain.

    In his early years, whenever he returned home, his mother would always ask about his cultivation progress.

    Because, in her mind, all other pursuits paled in comparison to cultivation!

    Now that he had broken through to Foundation Establishment, he had fulfilled one of her lifelong wishes.

    “Foundation Establishment? Foundation Establishment… Ping’an, are you talking about the Foundation Establishment of a great ancestor?”

    Lu Lanshu covered her mouth in shock, her face full of disbelief.

    Although she was a mortal,

    she was very knowledgeable about cultivation matters.

    She still kept in touch with the Ruyi Marquis Manor to learn about the cultivation world.

    But it was precisely because she understood what Foundation Establishment represented and what it meant that she found it so hard to believe!

    After all, there were only a few Foundation Establishment ancestors in all of Qingzhu Mountain and Bihu Mountain.

    And her son, at the age of forty-three, had actually become one of these revered Foundation Establishment ancestors!

    “Mm.”

    Lu Ping’an grinned.

    “My son has actually broken through to Foundation Establishment! I’ve heard that those in Foundation Establishment can fly. Ping’an, show me.”

    Lu Lanshu was so excited that she lost her composure.

    Then, Lu Ping’an took his mother into the air to prove it, but Lu Lanshu still felt like she was dreaming.

    If Lu Changsheng hadn’t told her not to reveal this for the time being, Lu Lanshu would have wanted to announce it to the entire family and tell the world that her son had broken through to Foundation Establishment.

    But after hearing that this matter concerned the family and her son’s future, she understood the gravity of the situation and promised not to reveal it.

    However, Lu Changsheng also said that in a few years, he would announce his son’s Foundation Establishment and hold a ceremony.

    After all, wealth that isn’t flaunted is like wearing fine clothes at night.

    He might not care about such things, but Lu Lanshu still wanted to see her son’s Foundation Establishment ceremony.

    After a brief conversation, Lu Lanshu informed the family that Lu Changsheng and Lu Ping’an had returned.

    “Greetings, Father.”

    “Big Brother.”

    “Grandfather, Uncle…”

    Although the mortal Lu Family had many branches, the main branch in Ruyi County still had many Lu Family members.

    These people came to pay their respects to Lu Changsheng.

    Some of them were thinking of their father, Lu Ping’an, or their older brother.

    But most of them, having been sent to the mortal world at a young age, rarely saw Lu Changsheng and looked at him with a mix of reverence and unfamiliarity.

    Lu Changsheng saw this and sighed deeply, his heart growing heavy.

    This was one of the reasons why he rarely came to Ruyi County.

    Even though he thought his heart had grown much colder over the years,

    he still couldn’t remain indifferent when faced with this situation and couldn’t help but sigh.

    After all, the birth of these children was driven by his own personal desires and motives.

    Even though he could give these children wealth and status, he couldn’t completely put his mind at ease.

    Not only Lu Changsheng, but Lu Ping’an also felt a heaviness in his heart as he faced this situation.

    He understood deeply what it meant to be separated by the gap between mortals and immortals.

    And this was only between mortals and Foundation Establishment.

    If it were between Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or the legendary Divine Transformation, that would be a true chasm!

    After all, a Golden Core cultivator, who could live for five hundred years, could witness countless rises and falls.

    “Father, is there no way for those without a Spirit Root to cultivate and walk the path of immortality?”

    That night, after the family banquet, Lu Ping’an asked his father, feeling a heavy heart.

    Today, many of his younger siblings came to chat with him, but as they talked, he gradually fell silent.

    “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Maybe not now, but perhaps in the future.”

    Lu Changsheng said softly, understanding his son’s feelings.

    “Where there’s a will, there’s a way…”

    Lu Ping’an clenched his fists as he heard this.

    Although he had broken through to Foundation Establishment,

    he had never heard of anyone without a Spirit Root being able to cultivate, except for the Spirit Root his father had given him.

    “Many things we may not be able to do now.”

    “But the meaning of cultivation lies in the fact that if your power is great enough, you can make up for regrets and restore everything beautiful.”

    “In the future, if you become an immortal, maybe with just a snap of your fingers, you can enable mortals to cultivate, or even bring back those you don’t want to lose from the river of time.”

    Lu Changsheng looked at the night sky and said.

    One must learn to console oneself.

    That’s how he consoled himself.

    One day, as long as he became an immortal and stood at the pinnacle of the immortal path, he would be able to restore everything beautiful and leave no regrets in life.

    And with the system by his side, he believed he could achieve that.

    “The meaning of cultivation… to restore everything beautiful and make up for regrets…”

    Lu Ping’an murmured as he looked up at the stars in the night sky.

    After a moment, he watched as Lu Changsheng walked away and clenched his fist, saying, “Father, I understand!”
