My Wife Divorced me At the Start but I Gained a Billionfold Repayment System

Chapter 74: The Nine-Year Ascension Plan

Time passed swiftly in cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.

The two little ones were surprisingly patient, spending half a month absorbing and refining Immortal Qi.

Everyone was cultivating except for Lu Xunxian, who was idly chatting with the Qilin.

“Do you have a name?”

Lu Xunxian looked at the Qilin and asked.

After all, he only knew that a creature such as the Qilin existed, but he did not know whether Qilins had personal names the way the Human Race did.

At those words, the Qilin lifted his head proudly and said, “Of course. This Venerable One is named True Lord Rising Sun!”

“True Lord Rising Sun? That name sounds rather unpleasant. Let me give you a new one instead.”

Lu Xunxian rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment before speaking.

“Since you are This Venerable One’s mount, I shall bestow upon you the surname Lu. As for your given name, you shall be called Lu Lin.”

Hearing the name Lu Xunxian had given him, True Lord Rising Sun’s eyes widened in disbelief.

What? Had he not just said that he already had a name? Why was he being given another one?

Thus, Lu Lin’s face filled with fury, and just as he was about to object, Lu Xunxian shot him a single glance. In that instant, Lu Lin felt as though his entire Qilin body had died once over.

It is fine, it is fine. Once the Patriarch comes to rescue him, it will not be too late to deal with Lu Xunxian then.

The humiliation of today would one day be repaid ten-thousandfold!

Before long, Chen Wangu and Xu Ruoshan had fully completed the conversion of the Spiritual Energy within their bodies into Immortal Power. All they had to do now was return to Tiansheng Continent, make full preparations, and then face the Immortal Lightning Tribulation.

“Many thanks, Old Lu.”

Chen Wangu rose to his feet, came before Lu Xunxian, cupped his hands, and thanked him with a solemn expression.

He truly had not expected that one day his relationship with Lu Xunxian would become this close. In fact, had it not been for Lu Xunxian, he might not even have been able to enter the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm.

At the side, Xu Ruoshan also hurriedly offered his thanks.

“Many thanks, Senior Lu.”

“It is nothing. I simply took the opportunity to come here and pick up a mount.”

Lu Xunxian glanced at Lu Lin in the distance.

Now that the matter had been settled, it was naturally time to return.

At Lu Xunxian’s signal, although Lu Lin felt the utmost humiliation, his body still obediently came before Lu Xunxian. Carrying Lu Xunxian and his family on his back, he sped toward the outside of the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm.

Outside the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm, a great many cultivators were still gathered there.

So, unsurprisingly, Lu Xunxian and his family were seen emerging from within, though only for an instant.

“They are the group of cultivators who went in half a month ago!”

“Could it be that some sort of change has occurred within the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm, and the space has stabilized?”

One cultivator speculated, then cautiously entered the Immortal Heaven Ruins Realm. But the result was obvious. The moment he stepped inside, he was torn into pieces by the violent Spatial Turbulence.

At Myriad Dao Academy, in front of Lu Xunxian’s residence.

After returning, Chen Wangu was just about to take his leave when Lu Xunxian stopped him.

“If possible, wait another nine years before ascending to the Immortal Realm.”

“Why?”

Chen Wangu, Xu Ruoshan, and the others all looked at Lu Xunxian in curiosity. Could it be that some earth-shattering matter was involved?

But Lu Xunxian replied with complete seriousness, “Because nine years from now, Xiaoyao and Qingyun will also be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

At those words, Xu Ruoshan and the others all looked toward Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun in shock. When they sensed the aura of the Late Monarch Realm from the two of them, all of them fell silent.

“I say, Old Lu, is this not a little too outrageous?”

Chen Wangu swallowed hard and spoke hesitantly, but then quickly added after thinking of something,

“Of course, I am not doubting you. It is just that this is a little too heaven-defying, is it not?”

Nine years from now, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun would only be twenty years old. Ascending to the Immortal Realm at twenty? That would be unprecedented in the entire history of Tiansheng Continent.

Not just in Tiansheng Continent. Even in the Immortal Realm, such people were probably exceedingly rare.

But Lu Xunxian shook his head and said in a serious tone, “I am not joking. Within nine years, I am confident I can have them break through to the Immortal Realm.”

“Master, what about me?”

The moment Luo Qianxue heard that her master intended to bring Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun to the Immortal Realm in nine years, she immediately became a little flustered.

She had no confidence that she could break through from the Early Saint Monarch Realm to the Immortal Realm within nine years.

Hearing that, Lu Xunxian carefully looked Luo Qianxue over, causing her to lower her head shyly.

“With your talent, if I personally guide your cultivation, ascending within nine years will not be difficult either.”

Only after a good while did Lu Xunxian finally speak with a serious expression.

Although Luo Qianxue’s talent was somewhat inferior to that of Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun, she had the advantage of already having broken through to the Saint Monarch Realm. Reaching the Immortal Realm within nine years would not be difficult.

Only then did Luo Qianxue finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Wangu and Xu Ruoshan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock. They had a faint feeling that they were about to witness a miraculous event in history.

Lu Lin, however, let out an ill-timed scoff.

“What are you thinking? Even This Venerable One was only a mere Saint Emperor at the age of twenty. Saint Bodies may be powerful, but breaking through to the Immortal Realm before the age of twenty is simply—mmmph, mmmph!”

Before he could finish, Lu Xunxian snapped his fingers and directly shut Lu Lin’s mouth.

After silencing Lu Lin, Lu Xunxian looked once more at Chen Wangu and Xu Ruoshan.

“Nine years from now, let us meet again at the Tiansheng Grand Tournament.”

“Very well. Nine years from now, at the Tiansheng Grand Tournament.”

Chen Wangu smiled, then tore open the void and vanished.

As for Xu Ruoshan, he did not remain idle either. He returned to enter Seclusion, preparing to ascend to the Immortal Realm together with the others nine years later.

After the two of them left, only Lu Xiaoyao, Lu Qingyun, and Luo Qianxue remained.

Wangcai and the White Jade Horse, after hearing that Lu Xunxian planned to ascend to the Immortal Realm in nine years, also hurried off to enter Seclusion and cultivate.

They did not want to be abandoned in Tiansheng Continent by Lu Xunxian nine years later.

As Lu Xunxian looked at the three before him, he continuously calculated what sort of training plan he ought to create for them.

The difficulty would indeed be great, but the rewards would be equally considerable.

So very soon, Lu Xunxian had already formed a training plan for the three of them in his mind.

“From today onward, you will undergo your father’s strict training. Are you ready?”

Lu Xunxian looked at the two little ones with an incomparably serious expression and asked.

The two little ones were extremely obedient. They straightened their backs and shouted, “We are ready!”

“And you? Are you ready?”

Lu Xunxian looked at Luo Qianxue and asked. Copying the two little ones, Luo Qianxue also shouted, “I am ready.”

“Very good. Then come with me on a trip to the Immortal Realm!”

Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun’s expressions remained unchanged, and Luo Qianxue also agreed at first. But very quickly, she came back to her senses, her eyes widening as she let out an incredulous cry.

“Eh?”
