Xue Xu lost all color when startled by his Master’s words, gaping in disbelief and lacking all semblance of a cultivator’s solemn and dignified aura.
He instinctively looked over at Xue Jian, desperate to see her exploding in anger.
This had to be sothing his Master and his wife had decided on their own; Xue Jian would never agree to it.
Xue Xu consoled himself with this thought while at the sa ti, his restless mind couldn’t help but reflect on his recent actions.
Perhaps, just maybe... his behavior of late had irritated his Master and his wife.
He, he hadn’t ant to neglect his junior sister; it was just that i Gui was going through a special period, and as fellow sect disciples, it was only right for him to show her so concern.
In the blink of an eye, Xue Xu found a myriad of excuses for his neglect of Xue Jian.
Xue Jian was to bla too; she didn’t bother to explain properly to the Master, sothing she used to do so well in the past.
All present were centuries-old wise individuals; Xue Xu’s internal turmoil was as transparent to them as if on display.
Without his daughter’s oversized filter to make light of Xue Xu’s situation, Uncle Xue, straightforward as he was, saw everything clearly.
It was fortunate that his daughter had co to realize things on her own; otherwise, they might have led their precious child into a trap.
Such a temperantal man, how unfit to be a husband.
Uncle Xue’s imposing pressure, typical of one in a position of power, bore down like Mount Tai upon Xue Xu’s head, bending his spine and forcing him to collapse to his knees with a crisp kneel onto the floor.
In the most despised and looked down upon posture, he groveled before the sect elders.
Xue Xu didn’t understand why his Master had suddenly gone mad, but he couldn’t escape that Xue Jian must have said sothing unpleasant to him.
While resentful, he also wanted to show so resoluteness; even if the other party was his Master and a senior in the sect, they had no right to give him trouble without reason.
But after being held in such high regard and then experiencing the pressure from those above him, it felt as distant as if it were happening in a dream.
That terror which shook one to the core, that fear, he had only felt it when he was first selected as a disciple and taken from the Mortal World by other disciples.
Despite this, Xue Xu mustered his courage and looked in Xue Jian’s direction, revealing an uncomfortable expression, and said, "Little Xue’er, what in heavens is going on?"
Hearing this address, Xue Jian’s heart soured as if subrged in vinegar, unbearable bitterness, but the mont she thought of the future she had glimpsed, she steeled her resolve.
She turned her head and whispered to her father, "Let’s head back early; your daughter seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough."
Xue Xu, being so thoughtless, could never compare to her dear daughter. Hearing Xue Jian say this, Uncle Xue got so excited he accidentally sent Xue Xu flying, causing him to spit out three mouthfuls of essence blood, rapidly losing color in his face. His body swayed from side to side before he thudded to the ground, unconscious.

When Xue Xu awoke from his unconscious state, everything had already been settled.
The entire sect was abuzz with the news of his annulnt of engagent with Xue Jian and the cold reception from his own Master.
Those petty people who would usually flatter or trample soone depending on the situation took the opportunity to stomp on him.
He had thought sacrificing a bit of himself for resources was distressing enough; he didn’t expect that post-breakup with his once betrothed, Xue Jian, tougher tis were plentiful.
His days beca more miserable than ever before.
What he once found humiliating, now seed like the most carefree and joyful days he had lived.
Now Xue Xu had no thoughts of getting close to i Gui’s Lianyi; he couldn’t even ensure the basic resources for his own cultivation, let alone have the luxury to think about romantic affairs.
Before long, Xue Xu, once a sowhat famous young master of the Beast Taming Sect, beca an inconspicuous wavelet in a big storm, disappearing without a trace at the blow of a single wave.
Apart from i Gui, who had received a centipede from Su Li because of a previous redundant move, one was also placed on Xue Jian by Su Li.
The tangled web of love and hatred between them within the Beast Taming Sect was also reflected one by one on the film of Su Li’s eyes, serving as a diversion during her monotonous cultivation.
Xue Jian did not disappoint her with the insights she had provided.
If she had "seen" the future and still chose to stick by Xue Xu’s side, even if she didn’t end up dead by her own folly, Su Li would have felt the urge to take action and end her life.
Won are often ruled by their emotions. Many won are not unaware that their behavior is wrong, but often turn a blind eye when it is pointed out to them.
It’s not that she is too foolish to see so truths; it’s that she doesn’t want to see, to hear.
You can never wake soone who is pretending to sleep. Su Li had seen too many such won.
Even in the Cultivation World, the number of won who achieve full cultivation and ascend to the Upper Realm is much fewer than that of n.
Truly dedicated won, intent on the path of cultivation, are extrely rare.
Now, Su Li seed to see a glimr of success in Xue Jian.
This experience could be considered a blessing in disguise for her, breaking through her emotional tribulations and sweeping her Mingtai clean, rendering her entire being crystal clear. The bottleneck that hadn’t budged for a long ti was beginning to collapse.
If this continued, Xue Jian might indeed glimpse the infinite possibilities of the light of the Upper Realm.
After watching a grand saga at the Beast Taming Sect, Su Li’s cultivation continued smoothly and orderly.
In addition, she unlocked several other functions of the stone bead that lay deep within her soul.
The stone bead which had always served as a personal space for her in her past life, began to autonomously sweep up all the Spiritual Energy in the entire forest after her cultivation reached a certain height.
Then, the fog inside the stone bead cleared up a bit, revealing the shape of a small building.
In the building, there was no other use, but one could distinctly feel the omnipresence of the Ti Law.
This imdiately gave Su Li more ideas for its effective use.
Practicing cultivation in this Different Space-Ti was beyond doubly productive, no, it was many, many tis more productive.
A hundred years of cultivation inside the building equated to just one month in the outside world.
Su Li had never, until now, practiced cultivation for such an extended period.
Over ti, even the most pleasurable cultivation beca a form of torture.
Su Li stayed at the place of her rebirth for five years, which actually amounted to six thousand years of cultivation.
When she erged from the Different Space and stood in her original place again, a sense of desolation swept over her as if seas had dried and rocks had crumbled away.
In Su Li’s eyes seed to contain the entire world, and yet seemingly nothing at all.
She indifferently stretched out her hand, towards a brilliantly blooming flower, and waved it.
The naked eye could see the flower swiftly withering, then quickly reverting to a bud, then to a sprout, and finally blooming to its fullest... only to wither once again.
This cycle repeated endlessly.
This was the reincarnation that the flower had to undergo in the wheels of ti.
This is the power of ti, from which no one can escape its erosion. It is omnipresent and omnipotent.
Following Su Li’s comprehension of the Law of Life, she ca to understand the charm of the Ti Law in the small building.
