Ever since Xue Cheng had broken through to the Golden Core stage, he had devoted himself to cultivating in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility and rarely came out.
The Martial Dao Golden Pill was different from the Connate Realm!
Even with a large number of pills and sufficient spiritual energy, coupled with the help of the system's check-in reward, it took nearly a year for him to break through to Rank-1.
After reaching the First Stage, the time needed to advance to the Second Stage was even longer!
It would probably take at least twenty to thirty years to reach the peak of the Martial Dao Golden Pill!
It was no wonder that with the increase in cultivation strength, one's lifespan would increase. Otherwise, those who cultivated slowly would directly die of old age halfway through their cultivation and their souls would fly to the west!
……
Xue Cheng reached out and touched his cheek. In the past five or six years, the little girl at home had grown up.
Xue Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When his daughter was two years old, she only knew how to talk. She would tell him that she looked good while chewing on his hand like a pig trotter. She had awakened the foodie attribute since she was young.
His daughter was already six years old. She had awakened her talent in cultivation last year, which was the fifth year of heaven's gift. She had been cultivating with the empress.
His daughter also learned that cultivators would not age when they cultivated to a certain level, so she was very considerate and pulled him along to cultivate, hoping that he could live for a few hundred years and keep her company.
Xue Cheng smiled and refused. The empress knew that he liked to be quiet, so she told her daughter not to mention this matter again.
Xue Cheng roughly calculated that today was the day his daughter would enter seclusion. If he was not wrong, she would come to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility soon.
After a while, a loud noise was heard outside Kun Ning Palace!
"Greetings, Princess!"
"Greetings, Princess!"
"Greetings, Princess!"
A sweet laughter sounded, and the bells rang. The tips of her toes tapped on the ground, and her footsteps were light and fast.
"Alright, you guys can get up."
In the next second, a delicate figure stepped into the hall!
Wu Yueyue appeared in the main hall. Her eyes were sparkling, and her fair cheeks were rosy. She looked like an exquisite porcelain doll!
"Father!"
Wu Yueyue lifted the hem of her dress and stepped onto the long stairs of the hall. She gave Xue Cheng a hug and sat on the other side of Xue Cheng happily.
His daughter acted coquettishly. Xue Cheng, as the old father, smiled and rubbed Wu Yueyue's head.
"How did Yue Yue gain from her seclusion during this period?”
Wu Yueyue was only six years old, and her voice was soft and cute when she faced him!
"Daddy, I've already broken through to Houtian third grade!”
Wu Yueyue cupped her face and pouted, looking like she was asking for praise.
For a young son to advance to Houtian third grade in a year, this was indeed an amazing talent!
Xue Cheng praised his daughter generously!
Wu Yueyue was so happy that her tail was about to reach the sky. She was pestering Xue Cheng to play games with her again!
Until nightfall, when Shangguan Wan 'er came with her palace maids!
In the past few years, Shangguan Wan 'er's temperament had become more mature, and her strength had also broken through to Xiantian seventh grade. It could be seen that she had been cultivating very hard!
Shangguan Wan 'er saw Xue Cheng and the princess were happy and harmonious, and her eyes also had a bit of tenderness, and she bowed forward.
"Greetings, Progenitor, Princess."
"Princess, it's getting late. It's time to go back.”
Wu Yueyue pouted and looked at Xue Cheng with some reluctance.
Shangguan Wan 'er smiled helplessly.
"Empress, you just broke through. Tonight, the empress will teach you how to consolidate your strength.”
Wu Yueyue obediently paid her respects to Xue Cheng and left with Shangguan Wan 'er when the topic of cultivation was brought up.
After the noisy little girl went back, Xue Cheng felt a little empty in his heart for a moment. He sighed helplessly. It seemed that after people had thoughts, they would develop feelings and be persistent.
Xue Cheng sat quietly in the hall for a long time, then closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
On the other side, Shangguan Wan 'er was leading the way with a lantern in front of her. Wu Yueyue was in the middle, surrounded by a group of palace maids!
They passed through the familiar corridors, gardens, pavilions…
The atmosphere was silent, and the sound of insects could be heard.
As Shangguan Wan 'er walked, her expression suddenly tightened!
No! No!
Why did she not see any guards along the way, nor did she sense a trace of human aura!
And…they seemed to be spinning on the spot!
Shangguan Wan 'er suddenly turned around and looked behind her.
" Princess, come behind me. There's a problem ahead…"
！
Shangguan Wan 'er's voice stopped abruptly. There was no one behind her!
The footsteps that were still ringing in his ears a second ago seemed to be an illusion!
"Princess…"
Shangguan Wan 'er's heart was filled with fear!
As a Level Seven expert, she actually didn't notice any movement!
"Come out!"
"Who is it that dares to cause trouble in the palace?”
"Hurry up and hand over the princess. Otherwise, the empress will not let you off easily!”
Shangguan Wan 'er was deeply trapped in the maze.
In the same corridor, Shangguan Wan 'er had disappeared. The palace maid behind Wu Yueyue had died, blood spurting out of her neck. The scene was bloody and tragic!
Wu Yueyue stood rooted to the ground, biting her red lips tightly as she stared at the scene before her eyes!
Two men in black appeared in the dark, blocking Wu Yueyue's path of retreat.
Their voices were hoarse and strange, filled with an evil aura!
"Princess, our Cult Master wishes to invite you as a guest.”

Thank you for your support, readers. I'm sorry that I wrote three versions in the afternoon. I discussed the timeline with my friends too quickly and finally decided on this one.
