Just invincible, the reincarnation wife asked me to give her inheritance

Chapter 237 Three Thousand Grotto-Heavens, A Hundred Years of Passing By

Time flew by, and Ning Qingxuan was immersed in cultivation.

Just like his situation in the Ji family, he had a very weak presence in the Jade Void Immortal Sect. Apart from a few other outer disciples around him, almost no one remembered him.

This resulted in Ning Qingxuan not being visited even once by the servant elders after he went into seclusion.

Soon, half a year had passed.

On this day, two members of the Ji family appeared outside the Jade Void Immortal Sect.

Ji Xiaoyao soared through the air, gazing at the endless immortal peaks and countless cave dwellings and pavilions ahead. Thinking of his upcoming meeting with his eldest son, his heart was filled with complex emotions.

"It's been over a thousand years since we last visited him, hasn't it?"

Ning Qingxuan's mother, Madam Hu, had anticipation and excitement in her eyes, but also a hint of trepidation and unease.

Having not seen him for a thousand years, she didn't know whether her eldest son was doing well in the Jade Void Immortal Sect or whether he was being ostracized or suppressed by other disciples.

If she weren't preoccupied with numerous clan affairs, she wouldn't have waited a thousand years to visit.

“That kid, we haven’t come to see him, and he doesn’t even think to go home and visit us.”

Ji Xiaoyao sighed softly. Whenever Ji Wuque was mentioned, his mind became extremely heavy, especially worrying that his cultivation level and strength could not be effectively improved.

No matter how many longevity elixirs one possesses, there will eventually come a day when their supply dwindles, inevitably leading to a situation where the elderly bury their children.

"Who is coming?"

As the two approached, a solemn heavenly sound suddenly resounded, further revealing the ripples of the barrier.

"I am Ji Xiaoyao of the Ji family, here to visit my son Wuque."

Ji Xiaoyao spoke calmly, and as soon as he finished speaking, an old man in a fairy robe walked out from the barrier.

He smiled broadly and cupped his hands, saying, "So it is the Immortal Venerable Zhan Sha. I was rude. May I inform the Four Great Pavilions so that Ji Wuque can come out to see you?"

The Ji family is a long-lived immortal family in the Ancient Cang Immortal Realm, with an incredibly strong foundation.

Ji Xiaoyao's reputation is widespread, and many immortal sects have heard of him. His second son, at a young age, is known as the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal.

Even among the four great pavilions, he would be considered one of the top geniuses. He was merely a guardian of the barrier; how could he dare to show any disrespect?

Furthermore, he had never actually heard of Ji Wuque before, so his words were clearly an attempt to get closer to him. He figured that Ji Fengying was a rare genius, so Ji Wuque must be no less so.

"Oh? My son has now joined the ranks of the Four Great Pavilions?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoyao's gloom vanished, and his eyes instantly brightened.

Hu, who was standing next to him, also widened her eyes and was overjoyed.

"I knew it! Wuque is actually just as good as anyone else!"

Ji Xiaoyao was very happy, his face beaming with smiles.

"Hold on."

The old man in the immortal robe immediately used his immortal magic to transmit the message via a jade slip.

Before long, his expression suddenly turned grim. He looked at Ji Xiaoyao and Madam Hu and said apologetically, "Please wait a little longer, my old man may have misremembered. Ji Wuque is currently at the outer sect of Cuique. I will contact Elder Cuique immediately."

After he finished speaking, Ji Xiaoyao's smile froze, the brightness in his eyes dimmed instantly, and a deep sense of helplessness and sigh welled up in his heart.

This feeling of having great hope only to have it instantly plummet to the bottom and turn to ashes filled Ji Xiaoyao with immense sorrow.

Mrs. Hu was also stunned and fell silent.

"A thousand years have passed, and we're still just outer disciples..."

Ji Xiaoyao shook his head self-deprecatingly; he shouldn't have believed the words of the barrier guardian.

"No need to trouble you, we'll go on our own."

With that, he led Hu Shi towards the outer sect territory of the Jade Void Immortal Sect.

The old man in the immortal robe blushed and could only bow and apologize again.

Gazing in the direction the two had departed, his face quickly filled with confusion. "Like begets like, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, producing a Azure Lotus Sword Immortal and a First-Rank Alchemist, so how come Ji Wuque is so utterly incompetent?"

……

……

The outer gate of the kingfisher.

Within Ning Qingxuan's divine sense range, the figures of Ji Xiaoyao and Madam Hu appeared.

Without alerting anyone, they went straight to the outer gate cave pavilion that belonged to Ning Qingxuan in their memories.

"Perfect?"

Mrs. Hu called out softly.

Ning Qingxuan paused for a moment, then finally got up and went outside the cave.

"I have met Father and Mother."

He was as polite as he had been years ago.

"Good boy, you suffered."

Hu's nose immediately tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes. She gently stroked Ning Qingxuan's face, her slender hands trembling slightly.

"Mother, I'm doing well here and don't feel it's too hard." Ning Qingxuan shook her head, sighing inwardly.

"Look at where you live, aren't you complaining? I thought that sending you to the Jade Void Immortal Sect would restore your confidence and at least get you into the 108 peaks, but you're still stuck in the outer sect?"

Ji Xiaoyao's expression was serious, and he suppressed his trembling voice, speaking in a deliberately stern tone.

"Alright, Xiaoyao, it's not his fault. The Jade Void Immortal Sect has very strict requirements for recruiting disciples. They are all people with outstanding talents, and it is not easy to enter the inner sect. As long as Wuque is satisfied with the current situation, that's fine."

Madam Hu spoke again, took out a storage bag, and handed it to Ning Qingxuan.

"Here are three million pieces of top-grade immortal jade, which your mother and father saved up. Use them sparingly, as we don't know when we'll be able to visit you again."

Ning Qingxuan held the storage bag, his heart moved.

The Ancient Celestial Realm contains a total of three thousand grotto-heavens. The Jade Void Immortal Sect and the Ji Family are far apart, and even jade slips cannot transmit messages between them.

There are various reasons why Ji Xiaoyao and Madam Hu haven't visited him for a thousand years.

These three million pieces of top-grade immortal jade are extremely precious, since they cannot be obtained normally from within the Ji family; they were all accumulated slowly by Ji Xiaoyao and Madam Hu themselves.

“There have been some troubles in the clan recently. Don’t blame your second brother. He has to cultivate and handle many affairs, so he really doesn’t have time.”

"Take this flying sword. It was forged by your second brother over a hundred years and has already given birth to a weapon spirit. It accompanies you all year round and can nourish your spirit and cultivate your mind, and help you absorb spiritual energy."

Ji Xiaoyao brought it up again, seemingly worried that he might have a problem with Ji Fengying, so he explained and then handed a seven-inch golden sword to Ning Qingxuan.

"Please thank Feng Ying for me."

Ning Qingxuan did not refuse and accepted the seven-inch golden sword.

"Your mother and I are in Liuyue Cave Heaven. We have other matters to attend to. If you have any ideas, you can contact me within seven days. I will take you away from Yuxu Immortal Sect, and we can make further plans later."

Half a year ago, Ning Qingxuan did want to return to the Ji family, but after seeing the immortal jade that Ji Xiaoyao and Madam Hu had accumulated, he realized that the Ji family was not ruled by his father and mother.

He shook his head: "It's all the same wherever I go, I'm fine staying here."

Ji Xiaoyao looked reluctant, but ultimately did not insist and left with Madam Hu.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

Within the Ancient Immortal Realm, even powerful beings like True Immortals and Golden Immortals seem to have little time to spare. Even a glance at me is merely because they happen to be passing by.

Ning Qingxuan watched the two figures disappear into the distance before turning back to his cave.

Time flies by, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye.
