Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

As the Lord of the Immortal Sect, Su Xihe could be considered as having seen it all.

She had imagined all sorts of reactions from Su Xiyue, but never expected her to be so calm.

After all, reaching the Golden Core Realm!

Moreover, achieving the Golden Core Realm at the age of eighteen, what an astonishing feat!

This nearly made the joy in Su Xihe’s heart choke in her throat, indescribable.

Although she knew her sister’s nature was usually cold and not fond of talking, breaking through to the Golden Core, was definitely a major event!

However, in Su Xiyue’s voice, calm as water, Su Xihe could not detect a hint of joy, nor any emotional ripple.

At this moment, Su Xihe felt an inexplicable sensation emerge in her heart.

That feeling seemed as if Su Xiyue herself felt it was merely completing a trivial life task, easily and naturally.

Su Xihe took a long time to speak.

Her chest rose and fell slightly as she calmed her mindset, deciding to indirectly verify Liu Zixiao’s earlier suspicion, "It’s good that you can break through, so that those old fellows won’t dare say anything!"

She also felt a sense of relief.

She even particularly looked forward to seeing the expressions on those old fellows’ faces when they heard the news.

Surely, it would be quite a spectacle, right?!

The more she thought about it, the more Su Xihe anticipated.

But right now, there was something more important to confirm, "Xiyue, how did you break through to the Golden Core in Lin Xian City?"

Su Xiyue knew she could no longer hide the matter.

After all, her sister knew her too well; since she would eventually know, she might as well...

"Because... Dao Bone!"

She spoke softly, her tone carrying a slight wave of emotion.

"The spiritual Qi in Lin Xian City is scarce, how could it..."

Su Xihe was still talking when she suddenly heard these words, she was stunned for a moment, then uncertainly asked, "Xiyue, are you saying... you have the Dao Bone?!"

"Yes."

Again, yes!

Yet this simple word stirred up a huge wave within Su Xihe’s heart, "You have the Dao Bone?!"

"How did you... how could you..."

She didn’t know what to ask for a moment, becoming somewhat tongue-tied!

Also.

What does yes mean?!

That is the Dao Bone, in the entire Yunlan Domain, not one might be born in a thousand, even thousands of years, and you said yes so indifferently?!

Not a bit of joy at all?!

Once this news spreads, it would be even more explosive than Su Xiyue’s Golden Core breakthrough.

The top-grade Spirit Bone could only reach the Golden Core Peak, but the Dao Bone could step into the next realm!

"Xiyue, what... is going on?"

Su Xihe took a few deep breaths, her tone serious.

Could it be, Su Xiyue’s root bone was mistaken all along?!

Absolutely not, all these years, her sister had been by her side for cultivation, how could she have mistaken it.

But now!

Su Xiyue had suddenly acquired the Dao Bone, causing Su Xihe, the Sect Leader, to begin doubting herself.

Root bone, could it really change?!

However, Su Xiyue did not respond, only silence remained.

"Xiyue..."

She wanted to pursue the matter further but seemed to feel verbal communication might not be suitable, thus she said, "Return to the Immortal Sect quickly!"

Then she hung up the Sound Transmission Stone.

At the same time, Su Xihe immediately transmitted sound to those Elders who were out, instructing them to head to Lin Xian City and ensure the Saintess was brought back!

Su Xiyue’s Golden Core breakthrough news was undoubtedly uncontrollable.

If she were only the First Fairy with a top-grade Spirit Bone, obviously, she wouldn’t pose much of a threat to the Hundred Sword Sect.

Dao Bone.

Was entirely different, the Hundred Sword Sect would even go to any lengths to eliminate this major threat!

But for now, no one suspected the Dao Bone yet.

Still, she needed to return to the Immortal Sect promptly, only then would Su Xihe feel at ease.

After arranging everything.

The esteemed Sect Leader slightly breathed a sigh of relief, but the excitement in her heart still could not be quelled for a long time.

Just half an hour ago, she was in extreme anxiety.

Liu Zixiao was trapped, the situation unclear, the elders out were detained, and the Saintess was still recuperating in Lin Xian City, might she act impulsively...

Because of her long-lasting frown, several deep lines were left, making her look quite weary as the Sect Leader.

Now, she not only regained her radiance but also wished she could immediately summon those old fellows to announce Su Xiyue’s breakthrough.

In the end, Su Xihe didn’t do this.

Her sister didn’t hide the Dao Bone from her, but why Xiyue was the Dao Bone... In this, there must be things her sister didn’t know.

After a long while.

After calming her emotions, Su Xihe began to sort her thoughts.

Everything seemed to start from when her sister descended the mountain, getting ambushed by the Hundred Sword Sect, disappearing for days.

At that time, there were rumors that she used a Forbidden Technique.

But Su Xiyue denied it, mainly her injuries didn’t look as severe as using a Forbidden Technique, so Su Xihe didn’t think much about it.

But now thinking back, there are indeed many doubts.

After all, with so many people watching, Su Xiyue forcibly erupted with the power of the Golden Core Realm to escape.

Then followed by the series of events after the banquet.

Faintly, Su Xihe seemed to have thought of something... could it be that her sister obtained great opportunities at the Ruins Rift back then?!

And her persistent absent-mindedness, even her voice issue, was actually accepting some kind of trial or baptism?!

The more she thought, the more likely it seemed to Su Xihe.

Soon...

She felt more excited!

...

City Lord’s Mansion.

Su Xiyue sat cross-legged there, but was not stabilizing her realm.

She was well aware that once the news spread, her sister would certainly have her return to the Immortal Sect, might even force her to return.

Indeed.

Staying in Lin Xian City wasn’t that safe.

Should the Hundred Sword Sect disregard everything, Liu Zixiao, even a few elders, might not be able to protect her.

Leaving?

Inexplicably, the Fairy felt a bit melancholy.

She inadvertently thought of Qin Yu.

At this moment, she unexpectedly discovered she seemed to have a slight... reluctance?

She was reluctant to leave Qin Yu.

Was it a bond developed over time...

This Fairy was not sure, but the emergence of such emotion would make her frequently think of Qin Yu.

Everything about herself only began quietly changing after meeting Qin Yu.

If not for him, she might still be troubled by injuries, let alone breaking through the Golden Core, and having a Dao Bone, such outrageous things.

Now that she thought about it, everything that happened during this period was truly like a dream, making her feel unreal, if not for the warm current still existing within her, if not for the Golden Core present in her Dantian.

Perhaps she would feel she was dreaming.

"What kind of person is he?"

Once again, Su Xiyue’s curiosity about Qin Yu grew intense, a person capable of changing others’ destiny, yet so ordinary himself.

Ordinary to the point that, placed among the crowd, she wouldn’t even take a second glance.

However, the more it was so, the more Su Xiyue wanted to meet him.

Perhaps out of curiosity, maybe out of gratitude, or perhaps for other reasons...

Making her think of wanting it to be night soon.

This day was destined to be an extraordinary day.
