In ten years, Ling Xiao had finally attained the Way of Celestial Immortality and the Human Immortal Physique. This was what he had been looking forward to for a long time. It was also the first step on the path to becoming a powerhouse.
If you can't become an immortal, you'll eventually become an ant.
Ling Xiao didn't understand it before. He even thought that he could kill a Human Immortal with the Sovereign Heart Sword when he was in the ascension stage. However, this was not the case. Although the Sovereign Heart Sword was powerful, it was not omnipotent. After becoming a Human Immortal, whether it was the strength of one's own energy, the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, or the ability to comprehend laws, it was far stronger than the ascension period.
If Ling Xiao encountered some heaven-defying Human Immortals with supreme treasures or powerful Tao techniques, he would probably die.
After returning to the ground and putting the True Martial Sword back into the array core, Ling Xiao returned to his room. However, he found Hua Qiangu waiting in the central room with sparkling eyes.
"Little Gu, why are you here?" Ling Xiao asked in surprise.”
Hua Qiangu didn't say anything. He just hugged Ling Xiao and started sobbing.
"What happened?" Ling Xiao was also very puzzled. He was just going out to transcend a tribulation, so why was the little girl so excited?
Hua Qiangu raised his little head and sniffed. Tears flowed down his cheeks again,""Just now, there was lightning and thunder outside. The heavens must have wanted to harm Little Gu. I was afraid that big brother would leave Little Gu.”
"You silly girl." Ling Xiao wiped away the tears on Hua Qiangu's face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.""I'm an immortal, why would I run away? I was the one who went out to transcend the tribulation just now."
"Really?" Hua Qiangu came out of Ling Xiao's arms and looked around. He exclaimed,""Brother really went to transcend the tribulation. His clothes are all ruined.”
Ling Xiao lowered his head to take a look. It turned out that the hem of his robe had been cut off by the lightning earlier.
"Little Gu, are you relieved now?" "I will accompany you and your father until you turn eighteen and go to Mount Shu to learn martial arts," Ling Xiao said gently.”
"Little Gu, Little Gu doesn't want to go to Mount Shu.”Hua Qiangu turned around and returned to his room.
"This girl." Ling Xiao shook his head and returned to his room. He had just become a human immortal and there were still many mysteries that he had yet to comprehend. Thus, he cultivated all night until dawn.
From then on, Ling Xiao settled down in the Hua family. Other than cultivating, he would help Hua Qianjian with some household chores every day. In his spare time, he even brought Hua Qiangu to the market in the neighboring village to buy some clothes and delicious food for the little girl.
In addition, Ling Xiao had to extract a drop of Hua Qiangu's blood every month to cultivate. Therefore, in order to supplement the little girl's nutrition, Ling Xiao would go to the mountains to hunt a few wild rabbits and pheasants every few days. The little girl and Hua Xiucai's nutrition had been raised, and Hua Xiucai's body's vitality had been replenished. He could finally get out of bed and work. This made Hua Qiangu very happy. The father and daughter could finally live happily.
Regrettably, Hua Xiucai passed away in the sixth year due to the jealousy of the heavens.
On the day of Hua Xiucai's death, Hua Qiangu cried his eyes out and threw himself into Ling Xiao's arms. This made Ling Xiao feel very awkward. In six years, the little girl had already grown into a beautiful and lovely young lady. Her figure was very good, and she was extremely alluring. However, she did not avoid the suspicion of men and women. She still liked to pour out her joy and sorrow in Ling Xiao's arms.
Ling Xiao had no choice but to give up on his cultivation. He spent a day comforting Hua Qiangu and finally stopped crying.
Although she was still sad, she understood one thing. Her father would not come back, but she still had to live.
Just like that, the two of them spent another year together. In the past seven years, Ling Xiao had absorbed a total of 80 drops of Hua Qiangu's divine blood for cultivation. With the help of the Zhen Wu Shen Ce, his cultivation had skyrocketed from the Human Immortal Stage to the Secondary Immortal Stage. He was only one step away from entering the Golden Immortal Stage and becoming a Shangxian. As for his Sovereign Heart Sword, it had also reached the Perfection of Martial Arts. It could borrow the five elements of heaven and earth to transform into endless sword qi to kill.
However, Secondary Immortals and High Immortals were two completely different concepts. Those below Secondary Immortal focused on comprehending laws and tempering their Immortal Gods. To become a Shangxian, one had to master one Heavenly Dao Law. Some Shangxian could even master eight or nine after years of accumulation, just like the Changliu Venerate's Shangbai Zihua, who was only one step away from breaking through the tenth heaven and achieving the supreme Taiyi fruit.
However, the realm of Primordial Unity was more dangerous than the Golden Immortal realm. It required the integration of nine nomological laws to refine the tenth nomological law. During this period, there were also inner demons and nightmares. If one was not careful, they would fall into the demonic path and never return to immortality. It was extremely difficult.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Ling Xiao. What he was worried about now was how to grasp the laws. Although the Zhen Wu Shen Ce could help him comprehend the Five Elements Law, there was not just one Law of Five Elements. There were a total of 80 branches. How difficult would it be to comprehend it?
Currently, Ling Xiao had only comprehended the Earth Elemental Law to perfection. He was indeed one step away from mastering it, but he felt like he was lacking something.
After half a month of bitter cultivation, he still couldn't comprehend it. Thus, he could only put aside his cultivation and spend all his time by Hua Qiangu's side.
For the past seven years, Ling Xiao had been very caring towards Hua Qiangu, even though a large part of it was because he felt guilty for taking her blood. Hua Qiangu grew up under Ling Xiao's care. The older she got, the more she yearned for love. It was not the first time Ling Xiao had noticed Hua Qiangu peeking at his cultivation. Naturally, he knew that this little girl had a crush on him. He found it funny. He had taken care of Hua Qiangu for seven years and won his heart, but it was as if he had raised a beautiful woman.
Of course, Ling Xiao had a good impression of Hua Qiangu as well. This little girl had been taking care of his daily life for the past seven years. Coupled with her adorable appearance and large, watery eyes, Ling Xiao felt his Dao heart become unstable with just one look and was extremely tempted.
In order to prevent Hua Qiangu from being snatched away by his respected Senior Uncle Bai Zihua, Ling Xiao had also taken action. Not only did he often accompany Hua Qiangu to the suburbs to relax, but he also showed a hint of affection for Hua Qiangu, which made Hua Qiangu's heart hard to calm down.
Just like that, days passed. On this day, Ling Xiao had just returned home after fetching water with Hua Qiangu as usual. Just as he was about to wash his face, he realized that there was another person in the courtyard. That person was dressed in white, and he had an otherworldly temperament. He was handsome and looked like an immortal in a painting.
This person was Bai Zihua. As for why Bai Zihua's appearance was different, it was because Ling Xiao was protecting the Hua family. In the past seven years, Hualien Village had been rid of demons.
Hua Qiangu saw Bai Zihua suddenly appear in his courtyard and quickly asked Ling Xiao,""Brother Xiao, who is that young master? Why are you at my door?"
Ling Xiao smiled." That's my Martial Uncle. Little Gu, why don't you go make some tea?"”
"Ah! Uncle-Master!" Hua Qiangu's face turned red when he heard that. He hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea like a little wife.
After sending Hua Qiangu away, Ling Xiao left the house and went to the courtyard. He knew that Bai Zihua did not have any ill intentions. Otherwise, the True Martial Heart Sword would have been activated long ago.
He bowed to Bai Zihua and said,"Disciple Ling Xiao greets Your Excellency."”
"Yes." Bai Zihua nodded and pointed to a stone bench."Why, aren't you going to invite me, your Martial Uncle, to sit down?”
"Oh, please take a seat, Uncle-Master." Ling Xiao did not manage to react for a moment. After he regained his senses, he said in shock,""Martial Uncle, were you talking to me just now?”
"Of course it's me." "Do you really think I'm a block of ice?" Bai Zihua asked.”
"Uh, then Martial Uncle, you're going down the mountain this time?”Ling Xiao naturally did not dare to say that he was a block of ice, so he could only change the topic.
"Going down the mountain to train, in another month it will be my ceremony to take over as sect master.”Bai Zihua said lightly.
"Take over as sect master? Wouldn't he have to cut off all worldly thoughts and become a living dead?”" I've heard from Little Uncle-Master that even though you look cold on the surface, you're extremely passionate on the inside." Ling Xiao sighed. However, after you take over as sect master, you won't even be able to have any feelings.”
"Yeah, forget it!" Bai Zihua waved his left hand, and a flying sword that was alternating between green and blue and emitting traces of spiritual energy floated between them."So this is what Sect Master meant by giving me the Severing of Thoughts.”
For a moment, the two of them shut their mouths at the same time.
At this moment, Hua Qiangu walked over with a wooden tray with a pot of tea and two teacups on it.
"Little Gu, I haven't seen my Martial Uncle.”said Ling Xiao.
Hua Qiangu nodded his head and called out to his martial uncle. Then, he turned around and sent the wooden tray into the house.
Bai Zihua glanced at Hua Qiangu and asked,""You stayed in the human world and refused to return to the mountain because of her?”
"That's not the case." Ling Xiao revealed a trace of the aura of a lesser immortal and said with a smile,""I had a great opportunity in these seven years, so I stayed in this world.”
"Secondary Immortal?" Even Bai Zihua could not remain calm. Ever since Ling Xiao entered Changliu, he had cultivated for less than twenty years, yet he had become a Sub-Immortal. It could be said to be heaven-defying to the extreme.
"What is the reason?" Bai Zihua did not see any signs of Ling Xiao turning into a demon, but he was worried that it would cause more trouble. He could only ask.
"After I left the mountain, I passed by the Miao Territory and obtained ten drops of the blood essence of the ancient god Houtu.”Ling Xiao made up a lie.
"God's blood essence?" Bai Zihua nodded and did not ask further.
Hua Qiangu walked over, picked up the teapot, and poured two cups of tea for Ling Bai and Ling Lan. As Bai Zihua was Ling Xiao's martial uncle, Hua Qiangu was very respectful and handed the teacup to Bai Zihua respectfully.
Bai Zihua nodded and took the teacup. His fingers inadvertently rubbed against Hua Qiangu's hand, and a wave of fear surged into his heart. The Celestial Core Power in his body had actually decreased.
"Could it be that this little Gu is my life and death tribulation?”Bai Zihua looked at Hua Qiangu with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
Although this killing intent was fleeting, it was sensed by the True Martial Sword. The Heart Sword Killing Formation was activated, and countless sword qi immediately fell on Bai Zihua.
