Chapter 128: Liu Yao
“Dong—”
“Dong—”
“Dong—”
Song Jiulai only heard three loud thuds.
It sounded like a heartbeat.
She wanted to open her eyes, but it felt as if something was holding her down.
She was immersed in darkness, and her body felt somewhat fatigued.
Song Jiulai felt an inexplicable worry.
She subconsciously called out, “System?”
System: “Your dad is here, it’s fine.”
Song Jiulai’s tears of gratitude were about to stream down: “…”
At first, when she came here, she felt unaccustomed to having a system in her mind.
But now, if she didn’t have the system with her, she would probably feel unsafe.
This silent and suffocating feeling lasted for about ten seconds.
Song Jiulai’s eyelids finally felt the glare of light.
She tentatively opened her eyes.
But she found herself in what seemed to be a vast field.
The sunlight ahead was dazzling, and there seemed to be a person in the field.
She could only vaguely make out the figure as a woman.
Song Jiulai instinctively raised her hand to block the light. With her current cultivation, she no longer feared the sun much, but the light still felt piercing.
She tried to get a clear look at the woman’s figure, but the brightness made her eyes water uncontrollably.
“You…”
She heard a clear, ethereal voice, seemingly from another world, belonging to a woman.
The voice held a hint of surprise.
“So that’s how it is…”
After a murmuring, self-directed voice.
The scene before Song Jiulai’s eyes changed.
This was a majestic and beautiful towering mountain peak, even grander than Fei Que Mountain.
Heavenly stairs descended from the mountain peak. At the foot of the mountain, a young girl knelt before the stairs, her voice trembling with tears as she kowtowed: “Disciple Liu Yao wishes to be accepted… as a disciple, and cultivate the Great Dao of Longevity.”
Another scene flashed by.
A young girl, already quite beautiful, held a blood-soaked long sword.
Before her lay several equally bloody corpses.
An enraged voice boomed, “Liu Yao, as a cultivator, how could you commit such wanton murder!”
“I did not commit wanton murder!”
The girl raised her head. Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and rainwater began to stream down the girl’s body.
She was drenched, but refused to bow her head: “They killed my parents, I avenged my parents, I did nothing wrong! Just because they were Senior Disciple Brother’s family, I couldn’t kill them? There’s no such logic in this world!”
“If Senior Disciple Brother is not satisfied, then let him come and kill me for revenge himself!”
“I, Liu Yao, will never admit wrong!!”
The sound of thunder exploded again: “They were merely mortals. Mortals experience birth, old age, sickness, and death, all in accordance with Heaven’s Will! If they killed someone, Heaven would have its judgment, not for you to take their lives! They were just your mortal parents. The moment you stepped into the immortal sect, you should have severed all worldly desires!”
Liu Yao’s face showed a look of absurd laughter: “What kind of bullshit Heaven’s Will? I only know my parents are dead! If this Heaven-reaching Great Dao means abandoning all kin, then what’s the point of cultivating immortality? I don’t believe that immortals are truly heartless!”
“Crack—”
Another bolt of lightning struck.
The entire scene suddenly collapsed.
Song Jiulai jolted, and she reappeared in the wilderness where she had started.
The indistinct figure was still before her.
Song Jiulai tentatively spoke, “Are you Senior Liu Yao?”
At the same time, she frantically chatted with the system in her mind: “Is this her life? The book really wrote about her, damn it, this is too inhumane. Her parents were killed, why can’t she get revenge? Isn’t this the Law of the Jungle cultivation world? This is the most realistic!”
“Yes.” The system agreed, “I’ve never heard of such a thing either.”
The figure swayed.
The light was too intense, causing Song Jiulai to close her eyes again.
Senior, the lighting effect is really too blinding, could you bear to turn it off?
A low chuckle seemed to come from the figure: “Tell me, if it were you, would you do the same?”
“Of course!” Song Jiulai said solemnly, “You did nothing wrong!”
Avenging one’s parents was a matter of natural justice.
Another low chuckle was heard.
Unexpectedly, Song Jiulai heard a voice say: “No, I was indeed wrong.”
Song Jiulai: “Ah?!”
Where did you go wrong?
What was wrong with avenging your parents?
You haven’t been brainwashed by those words later, have you!!
No, the scene earlier didn’t show what happened to Liu Yao later.
“I did leave something in the Secret Realm. Please take good care of Da Hu. It once accidentally ate a pill and can live for a very long time. Don’t let anyone discover its secret.”
“Also, you are still too weak right now.”
As soon as these two sentences were spoken, with a “bang,” Song Jiulai felt as if she was pushed out by something again.
“Boom!”
She felt something directly enter her body.
After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her Spiritual Energy churning and being impacted. She saw a stream of gas from the bead worn by the Big Yellow Dog directly rush into her body.
Her Spiritual Energy churned and changed at this moment.
It continuously impacted her Realm, which was already stable at the Late Qi Condensation Stage.
“I…”
Song Jiulai suddenly felt her entire body start to heat up.
A discomforting, indescribable sensation.
Like feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.
“Holy crap, you’re going to Foundation Establishment!” The System also didn’t expect that what Liu Yao left in the Secret Realm was such a good item. “Strengthen your defenses a bit. The commotion will likely be quite large, don’t let any Players barge in.”
Hearing this, Song Jiulai immediately applied a stabilizing effect to the surrounding door panels.
At the same time, Su Daqiang, outside the Sect, could see a large mass of Spiritual Energy clearly gathering in the small house where the Sect Master lived in the Longevity Sect.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was all drilling into that small house.
Su Daqiang was a bit bewildered: “What’s going on?”
The System suddenly responded: “Nothing, just a small matter.”
Su Daqiang: “Really?”
System: “Really.”
Su Daqiang just felt that the Sect Master was causing quite a stir.
And the Flying Sparrow Sect also had some movement this time.
“She’s reached Foundation Establishment?”
Sensing the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy coming from the mountain slope, several disciples in the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage of the Flying Sparrow Sect felt it.
That area on the mountain slope, the new Sect Master of the Longevity Sect?
But wasn’t she only in the Early Qi Stage a while ago?
Reached Foundation Establishment so quickly?
The disciples of the Flying Sparrow Sect were shocked and suspicious, yet they couldn’t figure out the reason.
This Foundation Establishment was truly unexpected. Song Jiulai couldn’t find a safe place, so the Sect would have to do.
She didn’t know what good item Liu Yao had given her. She only felt something had entered her mind.
But since the System didn’t say anything, it was fine.
The first Foundation Establishment was not a Tribulation Stage, but a reshaping of the body.
The feeling of her meridians being completely broken and reshaped within her body was simply outrageous!
That pain wasn’t just physical; her brain felt like it was about to split open.
