After cultivating immortality, she devoted herself to becoming an ancestor

Shen Suiren paid his respects at his mother's grave, with mourning clothes, sacrificial offerings of three kinds of animals, incense, candles, and yellow paper all present.

These were all prepared by my aunt when we worshipped our grandparents.

Now she is paying respects to the ancestors of the Zhuang family and her maternal grandparents one by one, which makes Manager Zhuang very satisfied. It is not a loss to give her the goods.

So when Shen Suiren asked, "Uncle Zhuang, if Father and I hadn't returned, would our ancestors' belongings have remained with Mother all this time?"

Manager Zhuang told the truth, "No, Ninth Grandfather instructed that if you don't come to collect it when you turn thirty, the formation inside the coffin will automatically cremate your mother. With his cultivation level, that's all he can do."

If you haven't appeared for thirty years, it's either because you've perished or your cultivation has stagnated, or because you no longer have any attachment to your birth mother in the mortal realm.

The family heirlooms will be passed down through generations, but as for the enmity, we don't even know who our enemy is.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm late." Shen Suiren kowtowed heavily after his father's coffin was lifted.

Her mistake was that she learned about her past life too late and only came once, and even visited the wrong grave.

Although he was not yet thirty at the time, he only glanced at the Zhuang family from afar and did not go to their home to acknowledge them as relatives.

He vowed to advance further and further so that he could find his parents openly and honestly, but he missed important information.

"Get up and look at your mother." As soon as Shen Dingru touched the spirit-suppressing stone inlaid on the head of the coffin, he knew why his divine sense had not detected anything unusual.

After removing the spirit-severing stone that could isolate a cultivator's divine sense, and gently pushing the coffin lid to quickly dispel the formation, his wife's lifelike face slowly came into view.

Shen Suiren stood up, stared at her mother for a long time, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

But her divine sense was constantly checking her mother's injuries, and she was recording the image on the recording jade at its maximum setting.

Soon enough, traces of spiritual energy intrusion were found on the back of the mother's neck.

"Cultivators can condense spiritual energy into needles, but since the aura has been gone for too long, we can only infer from the strength and fineness that it is a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator."

"And the defensive talisman I left behind didn't even activate." Shen Dingru sifted through his enemies.

"Could it be Shen Zai?" The two spirit beasts flew out and stood beside the coffin. The Howling Moon Wolf's words startled Manager Zhuang.

Fortunately, Shen Suiren noticed and helped him by introducing him to someone and personally escorting him to the oxcart to rest.

When I returned, I saw Fire Crow taking a pomegranate-seed-sized stone out of my mother's carved bracelet: "I just remembered that once when I was playing with this bracelet, I stuck a broken photo stone inside."

I forgot to take it out because I cried on New Year's Eve.

"The shattered recording stone has no spiritual energy fluctuations."

But I don't know if any footage was captured. Shen Suiren held it in her hand and examined it closely.

Shen Dingru tried to open it by making a hand seal, but there was no picture. However, he could occasionally hear his daughter crying when she was a child. Huoya had recorded many of these for him before, and they were all treasured in his storage ring.

Just as I was feeling disappointed, I suddenly heard a broken female voice: "You shouldn't have woken up... interrupting my advancement. He's still not completely dead, so you'll have to take his place... Why is there Shadow Sand on the counter..."

Although there was no more sound after that, and the stones were reduced to dust, the father and daughter shouted in unison, "Lianqiao! She deserves to die!"

"Father, when did you interrupt her advancement?"

"I'm going to kill her!" Shen Suiren said through gritted teeth.

Shen Dingru closed his eyes: "I don't know, but once when I was hunting demons, I saw her holding a peacock that was about to form its core."

She only dropped the raw sparrow heart when she saw me pass by. It seems she was going to eat it raw, so she must be a sparrow demon just like that demon infant.

"My wife, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I will definitely kill her!"

"This is called interrupting advancement? What a far-fetched reason." But some cultivators are just so capricious.

Having taken her mother's life, Lian Qiao must have wanted to kill herself in retaliation.

It's likely that she saw Chi Sha and was so delighted that she didn't kill herself and the people in the hospital anymore.

Shen Suiren checked the recording jade and saw that it had recorded this message. He immediately sent a message: "Master, help me put a bounty of ten million spirit stones on the black market. I want Lian Qiao's life."

"What did she do?" Fan Liyue, who was standing next to Situ Shiyuan, grabbed the communication jade in shock and asked.

"The hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable." Shen Suiren only cares about the result, not the process; he doesn't care who kills her.

Situ Shiyuan only answered with one word: "Okay".

"Wait!" Fan Liyue quickly stopped the master and apprentice: "At the beginning of the year, it's not that I don't want her killed, it's just that she's not worth that price."

Last time, it only cost more than 20 million low-grade spirit stones to kill the Butterfly King. How can Lian Qiao be worth half of the Butterfly King?

Three million, no, five million, five million is enough. This girl is too rich, and she spends money incredibly fast.

"No, just ten million. I want to make even the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Taiyi Sect tempt me, and not give her any protection."

"Master, please borrow a million from the sect as a deposit for now. I'll go back and pay it back." Shen Suiren insisted. She didn't care who Lian Qiao was; she just wanted her dead.

"I'll post the mission right away, stating that I'm seeking revenge for my mother's murder, but without mentioning the employer." This was Situ Shiyuan's insistence, because her current cultivation level was no match for True Lord Xiansi.

She didn't want her disciple to be targeted by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Junior sister..." Fan Liyue wanted to persuade her again, but Situ Shiyuan had already flown away on his sword. "Senior sister, I need to ask for a day off."

When Ghost Moon True Lord saw this, he immediately chased after him, wondering what he wanted to see Shi Yuan about. Couldn't he have done it privately?

One by one, really... wait, why did Lianqiao kill Sui Chu's mother?

After quickly reporting to her master, she contacted Wuyou, who, unlike Leidun, did not frequently use his divine sense to follow his junior disciple and was unaware of the details.

When they finally found the beginning of the year, the father and daughter were standing beside the person floating in mid-air, unable to look away.

Wuyou stepped forward and offered a stick of incense: "At the beginning of the year, this is for you."

She took out an ice coffin, which could preserve the body for ten thousand years without decaying.

Shen Suiren shook her head. When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Her mother's soul had been extinguished. She didn't want her enemies to find her mother's body and destroy it one day.

"Father, I..."

"I'll do it." Shen Dingru gently stroked his wife's face one last time. He didn't believe that her soul was completely gone. He would work hard to cultivate in the future so that he could go down to the Yellow Springs to find his wife.

"My lady, Sui'er is doing well, don't worry." Saying this, she closed her eyes and released the fire of her elixir. When she opened her eyes again, her daughter had already placed the ashes in a jade coffin.

He took it and carefully put it away, smoothing out the empty grave. "Let's go, let's test the spiritual roots of the two families' children."

We shouldn't stay in the mortal realm too long; let's return tomorrow.

Unfortunately, even with the finest spirit-testing ruler, they couldn't detect that either child had spiritual roots.

Shen Suiren carefully examined the relics left by the Zhuang family's ancestors. Apart from the cultivation techniques, they contained only brief descriptions of the Zhuang family in the spirit world.

There are also portraits of ten people, including Chu Mo, whose backgrounds have been noted for the two who were killed.

Most importantly, it had the specific landing location of the Northern Mystic Realm and a partial map of it, on which she saw many high-level spiritual plants that were no less than those on Dragon King Island.

There is also a clearly marked red sand mine.

Around the same time, Zhu Kuang studied the messages from his grand-disciple several times and then consulted with Cen Che: "Senior brother, the suspicions at the beginning of the year are not without reason."

Cen Che frowned: "Quickly inform Pin Zhang that this matter must not be spread."

At the beginning of the year, a piece of land had already been found. If more were found in succession, Chu Mo's hidden subordinates would surely kill her at any cost.

"I have already informed him, but alas, Chu Mo would rather be trapped inside the painting every day by various formations than utter a single word."

To this day, we still cannot ascertain Lian Qiao's true identity. Just as Zhu Kuang finished speaking, the communication jade talisman flashed again.

Upon opening the message, he couldn't help but rub his forehead. "A bounty of ten million spirit stones has been offered at the beginning of the year for the pursuit of Lianqiao to avenge the murder of his mother."

“He went to kill mortals, he really is no good. Lianqiao can’t stop the overall situation, so let’s deal with her as Suichu wishes.”

"I previously wanted the teleportation portal to be opened as soon as possible in the Spirit Realm. Now that I know what the Spirit Realm and the Great Wilderness Realm have done, I suggest blowing up the Dragon Palace." Cen Che knew that if the Taiyuan Sect of the Spirit Realm wanted to occupy the Taiyuan Realm, they, with only a few Nascent Soul cultivators, had no chance of winning.

Even if all the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the Taiyuan Realm, including the Demon King, successfully transformed into Deities, they still couldn't be of one mind.

In critical moments, neither the Sword Sect nor the Dao Seeking Sect can be relied upon; even their own people might defect to the enemy. The Taiyuan Realm needs time; even ten years will allow more people to advance.

Zhu Kuang pondered for a moment and said, "What you mean is that the people in the Spirit Realm who are building the array are delaying because there is internal conflict among them."

Once a consensus is reached, the teleportation portal will be repaired quickly, after which a large number of high-ranking officials will be sent to the Taiyuan Realm, perhaps even to destroy the various sects and rebuild the alliance first?

"Yes, after the Dragon Palace is blown up, there is a 50% chance that any cultivators who want to enter will fall into the spatial rift and die. This will scare away many ambitious people."

As for the defenses of those who successfully enter, I believe you fellow cultivators will be able to defeat them one by one.

"I don't mind if it's blown up, are the others willing?"

"As long as the Dragon King is willing, other people's opinions don't matter."

The more people discuss it, the less likely a decision will be reached. "Cen Che has never liked holding large meetings."

As the two were discussing how to speak to King Zitang, the communication jade talisman kept flashing.

The candle was lit. "It's Senior Wu Xuanzi. She said that the Northern Mysterious Realm described at the beginning of the year is very likely the North Sea No. 1. This place is not a wandering secret realm. It was originally part of the Taiyuan Realm."

The location is correct; it's right on the glacier that now separates the demon race from the Xuanjian Sect.

Cen Che's message was also flashing: "It's Senior Brother Ziquan. He said the dragon vein formation under the Misty Butterfly Valley has been cleared."

Just as everyone was rejoicing, Senior Wu suddenly said, "Perhaps we should close the Dragon Palace teleportation portal."

Zhu Kuang hurriedly asked, "What do the Transformation Gods mean?"

"The five humans and two demons have differing opinions. If Huaiji and Yaori also get involved, the nine Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could argue for ten days straight."

However, Senior Wu's ability to seal the portal is more acceptable to the Dragon King than our ability to blow it up.

"The Star Lord Yiqian has already come out; I'm going to pay a visit to the Dragon King." Cen Che scanned the Dragon Palace gate with his divine sense, preparing to fly there.

Zhu Kuang wanted to bring the little dragon king, who was playing in the sea, along with him: "Senior brother, we need to find a reason to issue a warrant for the arrest of the portrait that Sui Chu has."

Rather, it's more accurate to say that after Pin Zhang captured the four elders of the Tengluo Society, he interrogated them and discovered their hidden members, all of whom had previously served under Chu Mo.

“Good. We’ll wait for the portraits to be returned at the beginning of the year and see if we recognize any of them.”

"I don't believe they've been hiding and inactive for three hundred years," Cen Che thought to himself, adding that Pin Zhang might be able to recognize something.

But the truth is, after Shen Suiren spread out the portrait, the two senior uncles only recognized Chu Mo in it; they had never seen the other seven people before.

Wuyou said, "They can't all live in other people's bodies; they'll most likely disguise themselves."

"It's hard to keep up with the disguise for three hundred years." Qin Pinzhang knew he couldn't do it.

Shen Suiren speculated: "If the Zhuang family's ancestor was able to kill two of them right after forming his core, could the remaining seven be true core cultivators?"

Perhaps some have already perished in several battles.

It's hard to say. The next afternoon, they flew over the Broken Boundary Mountain and re-entered the cultivation world. That night, the group was so shocked that they almost lost their straw hats.

Legends of Shen Suiren can be found everywhere, including restaurants, eateries, and teahouses.

"Have you heard? The Grand Master of Daoist Canon of the Fallen God Sect has perished."

"I not only heard about it, but I also know that he died at the hands of Sui Chu of the Xianyou Sect."

"Shen Suichu from the Shen family?"

"Who else could it be but her?"

"Hey, they're the first to be the New Year's leader of the Immortal Travel Sect."

"She has only reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

"But they had spirit stones, a grandmaster, and helpers. They brought in two Yuanhou-level cultivators, and they killed Daozang in less than half a day."

What grudge do you hold against me?

"do not know."

"Unbelievable..."

"It seems that Daozang killed the disciples of the Xianyou Sect."

"The Butterfly King only died at her hands a short while ago, and now she's produced another Nascent Soul cultivator. Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Elder Chu was also captured alive by her and her ancestor, wasn't he?"

"Shh, that ancestor is a Mahayana practitioner."

"Hey, hey, put the dead aside for now. Haven't you heard that someone in the black market offered ten million spirit stones to kill Lian Qiao of the Taiyi Sect?"

"Let's go for a walk and have a look."

"I want to take over the mission."

"..."

"Senior sister, is the Sui Chu they're talking about you?" Jiang Guo'er stared intently at Shen Sui Ren as they entered the rented guest room and couldn't help but ask her.

Ten million spirit stones! I've only ever seen two of them in my entire life, and I've never even touched one.

Shen Suiren asked in confusion, "When the Corpse King killed Daozang, were there onlookers?"

"It's impossible to observe Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment up close; how could they believe such a ridiculous rumor?"

Worry-free, they quickly set up their defenses. "It's just what the person involved said. The more outrageous it is, the faster it spreads."

"The news was either spread by the Corpse King or by the masked man who came with him." Qin Pinzhang thought about it. This rumor might not be bad. It would also make some people who wanted to do something bad at the beginning of the year think twice before acting.

"Spreading such rumors is malicious."

At the beginning of the year, the Corpse King and you were not on the same path. Shen Dingru did not recognize the masked man at the time.

Qin Pinzhang couldn't help but laugh and said, "The person who spread the news probably didn't expect that at the beginning of the year, he would use his own strength to release another hot news and suppress his news."

"Ten million? Don't worry at the beginning of the year. After I send you to Beihai No. 4, I'll go get my mission."

"I'm going too! Senior Sister Tang will definitely be the first one there, hahaha." Wuyou was truly envious of Suichu, who brought back a piece of enclave and received a reward from the Alliance Grand Competition.

The sect will definitely reward her with more spirit stones after hearing the news about the Northern Mystic Realm.

"Haha, you flatter me, Uncle-Master." Shen Suiren carefully recalled the masked man's figure and techniques, "The Corpse King wouldn't pass them on."

The Corpse King Xiao Yao not only didn't send a message, but after learning about it, he went to the masked man and asked, "What do you mean? Are you trying to harm Sui Chu?"

"With her in front of you, she will draw half of the attention of the Fallen God Sect to you." The masked man removed his mask, revealing the beautiful face of True Monarch Xi Yu.

The Corpse King sneered: "It's truly her good fortune that she didn't join your Taiyi Sect at the beginning of the year."

"Hmph, our cooperation ends here."

Xi Yu Zhenjun replied calmly, "A Yao, if you go to Zhu Kuang, she won't help you."

"You don't need to worry about it, I have my own plans."

"The key to the Corpse Sect's secret vault." Before leaving, the Corpse King tossed the key to her.

To Xi Yu Zhenjun's utter surprise, Shen Suiren had a sharp eye: "Uncle Wuyou, that masked person is a female cultivator."

"Is that so?" As Wuyou lowered his head in thought, the barrier around their courtyard gate was struck.

The man shouted, "Shen Suichu, open the door."

With a whoosh, several divine senses probed in.
