The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

The spiritual energy circulated continuously, and the meridians in their bodies were successfully opened. This feeling of life constantly transforming completely captivated the mother and daughter.

They focused intently on refining their cultivation foundation, absorbing all the energy from the spring of life.

After circulating the energy for a full eighteen cycles, all the meridians in their bodies were completely opened up with Li Xiao's help, and a pure internal energy remained in their dantian.

It must be said that their physiques are special. Ziyuan and her daughter opened up all the meridians in their bodies in less than two hours. If this were in the world of Tian Long Ba Bu, they would definitely be regarded as monsters.

They slowly opened their eyes, and two beams of light flashed from the depths of their eyes. At this moment, the two of them officially became martial artists at the Innate Realm.

Ziyuan originally had a dignified and gentle appearance, looking like an elegant middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties. After two thousand years of accumulation, she still carried a sense of vicissitudes and weight left by time.

After being nourished by the Life Spring and having her meridians tempered, all the signs of age on her face disappeared. Her skin became fair, firm, delicate, and flawless, and her eyes and brows were gentle and bright. She looked like a woman in her twenties, with unparalleled beauty and extraordinary charm.

Lina, who was standing to the side, had her already bright and pretty face become even more exquisite and delicate. She exuded a lively aura, her eyebrows and eyes were bright and lively, and she became more and more charming, cute and spirited.

The mother and daughter stood side by side, each with their own unique charm yet complementing each other perfectly, like sisters of similar age, with no discrepancy in their generation. The scene was absolutely stunning.

Looking at their complete transformation, Li Xiao smiled gently and asked directly, "How is it? Do you have any real feelings about it?"

Ziyuan's eyes were filled with undisguised surprise and emotion, her face showed an expression of shock that could not be hidden, and her tone was tinged with disbelief and excitement: "This is really too amazing! I have never had such an experience before. At this moment, my mind is clearer and more transparent than ever before, my five senses have been greatly enhanced, and my whole body is warm and comfortable, as if I am immersed in a boundless ocean of life, light, comfortable and unrestrained."

Lina, with her pure heart, happily hugged Ziyuan's arm, her eyes crinkling as she said, "Brother Li, I also feel something amazing! My whole body feels warm and incredibly comfortable. A pure energy flows through my meridians, circulating throughout my body, and finally settles in my dantian. My whole body is full of power!"

Li Xiao nodded slightly and said, "The 'Free and Unfettered Wind Control' that I just taught you is a top-tier internal energy cultivation method in the world. As long as you cultivate it diligently, you can break through the shackles and reach the Nascent Soul realm."

"Nascent Soul Stage!"

These three simple words were like a thunderclap, instantly causing Zi Yuan's expression to change drastically, her eyes filled with extreme shock.

As a cultivator who has survived from the pre-Qin period to the present day, she has experienced the ancient times and witnessed the extraordinary abilities of ancient Qi cultivators. Naturally, she is very clear about the cultivation system and realm division of Qi cultivators.

For two thousand years, she has relied on the Fountain of Immortality to cultivate herself, but what she has practiced is nothing more than ancient witchcraft. This is ultimately a minor path with great limitations, and she cannot achieve true transcendence.

However, the cultivation method of orthodox Qi practitioners is completely different. The "Qi" they cultivate can cleanse the marrow and meridians, reshape the foundation, transcend the mortal body, break through the shackles of realm, and reach the Great Dao of Immortality.

Compared to the two, the ancient witchcraft she practiced was like a firefly compared to the moon in front of the alchemist, worlds apart.

Looking at the mother and daughter, whose appearance and demeanor had completely changed, Li Xiao suggested, "Now that the Fountain of Immortality has completely disappeared, there is no need to guard this place any longer. You have lived in seclusion here for two thousand years, isolated from the world. It's time to leave this snowy mountain secret realm and go out to see the world."

Upon hearing this, Lina's eyes lit up instantly, filled with intense longing and desire. She quickly turned to look at her mother beside her.

For two thousand years, she has lived in this cave since infancy, her only companions being the snow-capped mountains, caves, reclining Buddha, and sacred spring. She has never seen the outside world, its landscapes, its human affairs, or its myriad aspects.

Li Xiao's suggestion struck a chord with her long-held desire.

Besides, she secretly harbored a deep reluctance to part with Li Xiao. She really didn't want to stay in this desolate cave any longer and wanted to follow him to his side.

Looking at the expectation in her daughter's eyes, Ziyuan was suddenly overwhelmed with a deep sense of guilt and bitterness.

Her thoughts surged, recalling the vicissitudes of the past two thousand years. Back then, she was being hunted down and wandered with her infant daughter, who was crying for milk. She was on the verge of death every day when she found this secluded secret place. In the end, in order to guard the secret place, she and her daughter were trapped here for two thousand years.

Throughout the long years, her daughter stayed by her side day and night, guarding a desolate place. This sense of indebtedness always lingered in her heart.

Ziyuan sighed softly and nodded in relief: "You're right. Lina has stayed here with me for two thousand years. She shouldn't have been trapped here in the first place. She really should go out and see the vast world and experience all aspects of human life."

"Thank you, Mother!"

Upon hearing this, Lina's face lit up with joy, her excitement overflowing. She leaped into Ziyuan's arms with delight.

She nestled tightly in her mother's warm embrace, her heart overflowing with joy, but her beautiful eyes secretly glanced at Li Xiao opposite her.

Lina's gaze toward Li Xiao revealed undisguised affection and admiration.

Faced with the woman's pure and passionate gaze, Li Xiao was naturally very pleased.

What man doesn't like a beautiful woman looking at him like that?

Ziyuan quickly packed her belongings. After two thousand years of seclusion, she had nothing of value left. She only packed a few pieces of clothing and some remaining ancient books and scrolls, which was enough to completely sever all ties with this place.

The mother and daughter turned around side by side and walked out of the cave, a secret place where they had lived for two thousand years.

Once again amidst the vast snow-capped mountains, with the biting wind and snow still present and the glaciers as before, Kelina's state of mind had undergone a complete transformation.

She was once confined to a secluded cave, her vision restricted by the frozen mountains. She knew only that the world was small and the years were lonely, and her heart was filled with nothing but clinging to the past and seeking peace.

At this moment, she looked up and saw the snow-capped mountains and the vast sky. There was no longer any restraint or oppression in her heart. She felt that the world was vast and the mountains and rivers were boundless. She could look at all kinds of scenery in the world at will.

The two-thousand-year-old cage has been completely shattered, and her new life has officially begun.

Li Xiao could have simply teleported away with the mother and daughter, but Lina wanted to see the scenery along the way. So Li Xiao took out the Heaven-Slaying Sword, enlarged it, and flew with the mother and daughter towards the Eastern Demon City.
