After cultivating immortality, she devoted herself to becoming an ancestor

Chapter 133 is it.
It turns out that among the tens of thousands of people in the human city, eighty percent are cultivators with spiritual roots.

Not only Zhu Kuang, but all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs who arrived here could no longer remain calm, and could not allow the Taiyi Sect to gain these people alone.

While studying the battle formation, they also discussed how many people each sect would take away.

Zhu Kuang understood their thoughts perfectly, so after looking at the array diagram, he returned to the guest courtyard prepared by the city lord and sent his apprentice to invite Shen Dingru to speak privately.

"Grandmaster, I'll go and invite them." Shen Suiren volunteered, since Cheng Zhishun and the Little Dragon King were still asleep, and their master was taking care of them in the next room.

“You’re not suitable to go.” Zhu Kuang believed that Shou Zhuo was currently talking about being transferred at the beginning of the year, and her presence would likely provoke an even greater backlash from her father.

Situ Shiyuan quickly found the location of Shou Zhuo and his apprentice. Because it was just an ordinary, undefended residence, she could hear Shen Dingru's suppressed anger even before she reached the gate:

"Master, that's my child! What if something goes wrong during the blood draw..."

"That's not the beginning of the year."

If it hasn't been replaced, then it is.

"You resent your teacher?"

"Ahem." Yao Guang coughed lightly outside the door.

As soon as Shen Dingru opened the door, he saw her awkwardly leading a female cultivator who had just reached the Core Formation stage.

Situ Shiyuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, my master wishes to meet his disciple's father."

"Thank you for your trouble, Master Situ." Shen Dingru quickly bowed.

Situ Shiyuan stepped aside, accepting only half a bow from him, and on the way to his master's courtyard, handed him two image-recording jades and a jade slip.

"These are all things from the beginning of the year. Take a look when you have time." One is from Floating Light City, and the other is at the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate.

"Thank you so much for your hard work in teaching my child." Shen Dingru was overjoyed.

Situ Shiyuan smiled and said, "I have only recently returned to the sect. For the past few years, it was my master who taught Sui Chu."

Upon hearing this, I recalled what the little monk Juexing had told me before: that True Lord Zhukuang had killed a ninth-tier demon for his grand-disciple.

When Shen Dingru saw Zhu Kuang Zhenjun again, he resolutely performed the full kneeling ceremony.

"No, no, no!" Zhu Kuang used his spiritual power to help him up.

Without further pleasantries, he went straight to the point, discussing the distribution of tens of thousands of cultivators in the city, and said, "Apart from the Qi Refining cultivators you promised to recommend, don't say anything more about the others."

Regarding Lianqiao, you should only state the facts. Before you reach the Core Formation stage, do not confront her directly.

She is connected to Que Yi and possesses strong demonic blood, so she is very likely not the real Lian Qiao.

Shen Dingru understood the implied meaning: "Thank you for the reminder, True Lord. I will investigate further to see if True Lord Siyu has any relatives from the demon race."

Seeing that True Lord Zhukuang nodded in satisfaction, Little Fox King transmitted his voice and said, "At the beginning of the year, so that's why Grandmaster summoned your father. Your father is very clever."

"Of course, before my father began cultivating immortality, he had already passed the imperial examinations as a scholar in the mortal realm, a prodigy at the age of twelve." Shen Suiren knew the prestige of a young scholar in the mortal realm.

Hmm, if her father hadn't cultivated immortality, she'd probably be reading classical texts and learning needlework like embroidery now? No way, no way.

Then the father said to his grandmaster, "I am deeply grateful for your care of my daughter."

"Please accept this gift, True Lord." As he spoke, he took out a jade box and presented it.

Shen Suiren and the Little Fox King were particularly curious about what it was, "Grandmaster..."

Zhu Kuang Zhenjun chuckled, but after opening the box and showing it to her, he was taken aback.

Inside the jade box were five small spiritual fruits of different colors, their spiritual energy flowing through them, crystal clear. Just a whiff of their fragrance made one's soul feel lighter, and even the nascent soul in one's dantian couldn't help but want to inhale more of their aroma to cultivate.

She quickly cast several layers of barriers to prevent the fragrance of the fruit from escaping: "Five Elements Spirit Ginseng Fruit? It nourishes the soul of high-level cultivators and can also protect the soul when a cultivator makes a major advancement."

"Yes, I fell under the dragon bones back then, and they just happened to be ripe, so I picked them without thinking."

Looking back now, the Black Dragon King probably thought I had already consumed the fruit, which is why he kept trying to borrow my body. Shen Dingru was both happy and worried when he saw his daughter; she was also trapped in the enclave and had forgotten about the spiritual fruits.

Seeing that Zhu Kuang Zhenjun was about to refuse, he bowed again: "Zhenjun, only if you successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage will my son be safe."

Her own child inadvertently exposed the conspiracy of the spirit realm. Even if Elder Chu could not find an opportunity to kill her for the time being, the gate to the Dragon Palace would soon be open, and spirit realm cultivators would still be able to enter.

However, my master and I are of low cultivation level and live far away, so we cannot protect the child.

He couldn't rely on the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Taiyi Sect, as they weren't his closest relatives or elders.

"Grandmaster, please accept my father's gift."

"Give me some more treasures later." Shen Suiren closed the jade box, not allowing his master to push it away again.

Zhu Kuang thought for a moment and then gave her the substitute life token that Ah Bai had brought, saying, "This is for you. It's bound to you with blood. It can save your life in a moment of crisis."

Just as Shen Suiren successfully recognized the master, the Heavenly Thunder of the Nascent Soul stage had already exploded in the Taiyi Sect.

Even though it's thousands of miles away, one can still feel the immense pressure of heaven and earth.

Above the city, many cultivators flew into the air and looked around.

She sighed softly, "I hope that the True Lord of Sincerity will successfully ascend to godhood."

At this moment, everyone in the Taiyuan Realm shared the same thought as her.

As long as the tribulation continues, everyone has hope.

Only Lian Qiao did not want Zhicheng Zhenjun to become a deity, because the head of the Taiyi Sect's Law Enforcement Hall was at the deity stage and posed too great a threat to her.

She took the initiative to contact Elder Chu, but he did not reply, because Elder Chu had recently been infected with corpse poison and was recuperating in a secret cave.

He was awakened by the urgent message from the jade pendant, which sounded like a death knell, three hours later.

Meanwhile, news that True Monarch Zhicheng had successfully transformed into a deity, and that he had also inspired many others to establish their foundations and form their cores, and even prompted True Man Cangqiong to form his nascent soul, spread throughout the cultivation world.

Shen Suiren also followed his grandmaster back to the market of Taiyi Sect, and together with the hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators who could not return to the sect for the time being, they moved into the five-courtyard house rented by Xun Gui Zhenren.

Coincidentally, the fellow disciples of Niao Niao, Jue Xing, and Nie Cheng Zhang all rented rooms in this row, and it was said that disciples from various sects of the Demonic Sect lived on the street behind.

Apart from the Cangyuan Sect, which withdrew a few days earlier, other sects seem to be opening branches here, which makes it convenient for Nascent Soul cultivators to meet.

Sure enough, as soon as the grandmaster stepped through the door, he was invited by Elder Haoqing of the alliance and True Monarch Xiyu to discuss matters.

When Shen Suiren finished setting up the assigned rooms and went to the east wing of the first courtyard to hand over his winnings, he unexpectedly saw Qian Cancan.

"Senior Sister Qian, congratulations on becoming the first Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Qian family." Shen Suiren sensed that something about her was different from before; the brilliance in her eyes was no longer that of a young girl.

Qian Cancan didn't laugh as loudly as before. "Congratulations, congratulations! It was thanks to the sect's strong support this time, opening the cultivation spirit pool indefinitely and supplying a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills, that I was able to succeed."

Many disciples of the sect have recently reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Why are you here so suddenly? Are you going back to Donghai Town to visit relatives and friends?" It's a bit dangerous to come out at this time. Shen Suiren had just finished asking when she saw Huo Junshan's figure.

"Senior Brother Huo? You've also successfully established your foundation! That's wonderful!"

"At least I haven't fallen too far behind you." Huo Junshan knew the principle that if you're a step behind, you'll fall behind at every step, so he cultivated with exceptional diligence during his three years in the sect.

"This time, Junior Sister Qian and I accepted a mission from the sect to secretly escort Elder Abai here."

The sect leader said, "We'll go back together when Elder Zhu Kuang leads the team back." "Yes, once our Elder Zi Quan becomes a deity, we won't be afraid of that guy surnamed Chu anymore." Qian Cancan gritted her teeth as she mentioned this person.

Shen Suiren's heart skipped a beat: "What happened? Which of our fellow disciples or teachers did he kill?"

"Um, Shi Xuan, Senior Sister Xu, Junior Brother Li, Senior Brother He, Uncle Yuan..." Qian Cancan rattled off the names of more than ten people.

The text continues: "The leader of the team, Master Hengde, lost a leg, and several of his fellow disciples suffered injuries or broken limbs."

Senior Sister Wen Chunan is also missing a hand.

At the beginning of the year, I heard that there was a magical herb on the Little Dragon King's island that could regenerate severed limbs.

Shen Suiren nodded: "Yes, but we have to wait for them to ripen."

She asked anxiously, "Why did that guy surnamed Chu attack a low-level cultivator?"

Furthermore, didn't the sect already order all disciples to return to the sect when Ah Bai advanced in rank?

Huo Junshan sighed: "The team led by True Immortal Hengde is here to eliminate transgressing monsters in the mortal realm."

The journey was long, and they returned late, just in time to encounter Elder Chu chasing after the Fallen God Sect cultivators.

"Daozang Zhenjun?" Shen Suiren's intuition told him it was this solitary Yuanhou demonic cultivator who collected souls everywhere.

Qian Cancan clenched her fist: "It was him. He hid in the small town where immortals and mortals meet, betting that Elder Chu, the Daoist cultivator, wouldn't attack low-level cultivators and mortals."

Unexpectedly, he miscalculated. The man surnamed Chu completely disregarded the lives of others. When his magic weapon struck the place where Daozang was hiding, half the city was killed or injured.

Sister Wen said that it was fortunate that Elder Hengde did his best to protect everyone, while Sister Xuan and Sister Xu were scattered on the street at the time, and there was no time to save them.

That damned demonic cultivator not only survived, but also used the Soul Banner to collect the souls of a whole bunch of people.

"That bastard deserves to die!" Shen Suiren still remembered that he had intercepted a demon soul once in the Futu City of the Great Buddha Temple.

This time, everyone suffered because of him, and he even wants to collect their souls.

"Elder Hengde, despite his serious injuries, chased after them with all his might, while that man surnamed Chu actually took away Axuan and the others' physical bodies and smashed them into the Daoist Scripture again."

Later, a passing Corpse King suddenly intervened, causing the man surnamed Chu to give up the pursuit due to poisoning, and also retrieved A-Xuan and the others' souls from Daozang.

But their bodies were already shattered, beyond saving. "Qian Cancan choked up as she finished speaking.

When Shen Suiren pulled the man over, many fellow disciples had already gathered around. They were all indignant, but they were helpless because of their cultivation levels.

"Continue your cultivation here. Consider this a period of seclusion. If you encounter someone surnamed Chu or Daozang, flee for your life first."

"In the future, if I have the chance, I will kill them." Shen Suiren gritted her teeth. Half of the dead and wounded were her classmates, her seniors and juniors with whom she often interacted in class.

She started by practicing swordsmanship, spending three days in a row setting up a formation in the courtyard and swinging her sword repeatedly, practically obsessed with it.

Shen Dingru frowned as he watched. He was about to tell the child that Lianqiao was missing, and that she would probably be practicing even more madly.

"Master Situ, do you think this child should be given a new Taoist name in the future?"

“It’s up to Sui Chu to decide.” Situ Shiyuan didn’t interfere, but he wondered why she was dissatisfied. “Since she changed her name to Sui Chu, everything has been going in a good direction.”

Shen Dingru couldn't very well say that he suspected the remnant soul he saw might be his daughter's future.

Just then, Shen Suiren sheathed his sword: "Father, you can just call me Suiren. Anyway, everyone calls me Shen Sui, Suiren, or Suichu."

But I prefer to use "the beginning of the year" as my Taoist name, for as the years progress, my Taoist heart remains unchanged.

The mention of Shen Sui rekindled Shen Dingru's suppressed anger. "Are you free? Let's disguise ourselves and go to Chun Gui Mountain."

"Alright, are you going to execute Clan Chief Shen?" Shen Suiren was very expectant, but when he saw his father's eyes flicker slightly, he stopped smiling: "He harmed his own clan and murdered his cousin, isn't that enough to warrant the death penalty?"

"Shen family, are you trying to back out?"

"No, the execution will be in three days, and the patriarch will do it himself." It seems that my daughter, like me, doesn't feel a strong sense of belonging to the Shen family.

That's fine, it saves him from being tied up, but he can't let the child misunderstand him. "Let's go early and make a trip to the spirit field."

Use the teleportation array and don't show your face in the middle.

Father hesitated because of Lian Qiao, who, along with the white crane guarding her, disappeared when the sect leader led people to Broken Wind Cliff.

True Monarch Xiansi insisted that Elder Bai had taken her daughter to the Demon Court, and even produced a pile of so-called evidence.

"Oh, I would find it strange that she didn't run away."

As for the spirit field, Father, go there yourself. I want to go into the Shen family's library." Shen Suiren didn't care about that.

The reason was that her senior brother Tang had sent her a message, saying that he had found the Core Formation cultivator who had robbed her in the market and had chased him all the way to the Sea God City.

Then he unexpectedly discovered that the female cultivator with him had a gait that was remarkably similar to that of Lianqiao.

Our master has already sent Uncle Lu and Uncle Wan to provide support.

Tsk tsk, it just goes to show that when people do bad things, they can't always hide it.

"Okay, shall we go now?" Shen Dingru didn't care about Lian Qiao. The person who attacked him and Shen Wan back then wasn't her on the surface, and there was no evidence to prove it was her.

But she can't escape her shadow. She even suggested switching children. Humph, once I'm done with worldly affairs and reach the Golden Core stage, I'll definitely settle things with her then.

The two prepared some gifts and, under Chongming's covert protection, arrived at the Shen family's residence on Chun Gui Mountain.

The patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Duzhou, wanted to open the main gate to personally welcome them, but the father and daughter refused, prioritizing safety.

After offering incense at the ancestral hall, Shen Suiren took out the Longevity Fruit and Chongming's feather: "The Longevity Fruit prolongs life and helps one advance in rank."

Ancestor, at this opportune moment, it wouldn't be a bad idea to try and reach the Nascent Soul stage again.

The feather is a distress signal; once lit, King Chongming can sense it and will rush to his aid immediately.

She learned that Elder Shen had been injured during his previous attempt to form his nascent soul, which was why he needed to remain in seclusion for an extended period, and she specifically sought out the Little Dragon King to exchange for his nascent soul.

"You're so kind. I've already received the Nascent Soul Pill and am preparing to finish dealing with clan affairs before attempting another breakthrough. This is just the right time." Shen Duzhou didn't stand on ceremony; his advancement would benefit everyone in the clan.

"These are the tokens for the storeroom and library. Have your father take you to pick out things. You can take whatever you want from the storeroom."

You can enter any floor of the library. Jade slips and similar items can be copied, but cannot be taken.

None of the elders of the Shen family had any objections; on the contrary, their goodwill towards her deepened. Although she had not received much protection from the clan, she was sensible and willing to seek benefits for the clan, and deserved a great reward.

"Thank you, Ancestor. This is my tribute to you." Shen Dingru presented a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, a gift from his master.

Shen Duzhou patted his arm. This child should be the clan leader, but according to the clan rules, disciples who have joined the sect cannot serve as clan leaders.

The father and daughter first went to the library, which had three floors. As they walked through each floor, Shen Suiren felt that the library was rich in books, but there was nothing particularly special about it.

But just as the guard led them into the mezzanine on the second floor, the green leaf sprout in their sea of ​​consciousness suddenly flew out and plunged into a pot of black soil on the ground.

The entire room was instantly filled with spiritual light, and all the spiritual plants planted in the Shen family's house grew wildly in an instant.

And Ya Ya herself grew from a leaf bud into a tree.

"It's it!" Shen Dingru was shocked.
