I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

The meeting in the main hall ended in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

The sect leader's decision to withdraw the arrest warrant was an absolutely rational one, based on considerations of the sect's interests.

Continuing to pursue a chosen one who is impossible to kill or capture, and who has already formed a first-grade golden core, will only cause the sect to lose more high-level combat power.

Stop-loss is a survival rule that the Nascent Soul Sect has summarized over a long period of time.

However, the rationality of a sect cannot replace personal hatred.

For Chu Tiankuo and Lin Wan'er, the battle reports and facts presented by the sect leader did not extinguish the anger in their hearts.

On the contrary, the humiliation of watching their enemies go unpunished while they could only eke out a living in the mud completely consumed their reason.

Hatred, once it takes root, can never be uprooted.

a few days later.

Welcome Peak, this elegant villa was once exclusively a gathering place for newly emerging talents.

Su Yu sat on the stone bench, looking at Chu Tiankuo and Lin Wan'er sitting opposite him.

Chu Tiankuo's hair had turned quite white, and Lin Wan'er's eyes no longer held the gentle and spirited look of yesteryear, only a deathly stillness and resoluteness remained.

Their lives had already been ruined by Li Han before the altar in the desolate secret realm.

"Junior Brother Su, we're going down the mountain."

Chu Tiankuo broke the deathly silence in the courtyard, his tone extremely calm.

"Go find Li Han?"

Su Yu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Yes."

Chu Tiankuo nodded.

Su Yu put down his teacup and looked at the two once arrogant prodigies in front of him.

"You did not listen to what the sect leader said in the main hall."

Su Yu stated a fact with extreme objectivity.

"Li Han is a first-grade Golden Core cultivator with countless trump cards. Even several elders who were being hunted down by the sect were defeated by him."

"You are one of the fifth rank and the other of the ninth rank, and your Dao hearts have already been broken."

"Going to him is a death sentence."

These words were extremely harsh, almost like rubbing salt into their wounds.

But Su Yu was telling the truth.

Li Han is no longer a match for them to stage an accident.

The difference between the two becomes worlds apart from the moment they reach the Core Formation stage.

Chu Tiankuo gave a bitter smile.

"We know."

"But Junior Brother Su, we can't swallow this insult."

Lin Wan'er's voice was filled with a cold and resolute tone.

"Our path to immortality was destroyed by him in that main hall."

"For the past sixty years, whenever I close my eyes, all I see is his mocking face as he snatched away my opportunity."

"If we don't kill him, this inner demon will torment us for the rest of our lives, making us wish we were dead."

They've become completely obsessed.

Or rather, this is the only remaining obsession they had after their Daoist hearts were shattered.

Su Yu looked at them and shook his head slightly.

He could understand the hatred of someone whose life had been ruined, but he did not condone such a hopeless act of suicide.

However, he did not try to persuade him further.

Everyone has their own chosen path to walk.

Once someone has chosen a dead end, no one can pull them back.

"May you rest in peace."

Su Yu sighed and only gave these four words.

Lin Wan'er took out a jade box with a sealing talisman affixed to it from her storage bag and gently pushed it in front of Su Yu.

"Junior Brother Su, if we go, we're most likely not coming back."

"This is a 'Purple Cloud Vermilion Fruit' that I obtained in my early years. It is of great benefit to stabilizing true essence during the Golden Core stage."

"If we die, we only ask that if our junior brother happens to be passing by in the future, he could take care of the descendants of my Lin family."

Su Yu glanced at the jade box, then reached out and put it back into his sleeve.

"it is good."

This is not just a promise, but an extremely straightforward deal.

By accepting the gifts, one accepts the karmic consequences.

Chu Tiankuo didn't waste any words. He stood up and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to Su Yu.

"Consider the body-refining technique I learned back then as a favor I asked you to do for the Chu family."

Su Yu remained seated, nodding slightly.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Chu, I will help as long as it's within my power."

This is an extremely measured promise.

Su Yu wouldn't risk his life for someone else's family, but he was willing to do favors when things went smoothly.

With no more worries, the two turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Su Yu sat by the stone table, watching the two streaks of light disappear into the horizon.

A gust of autumn wind blew by, swirling up a few fallen leaves.

On the path of cultivating immortality, some rise to the challenge, while others give up halfway.

This peerless genius of the world ultimately met a tragic end due to a missed opportunity.

After seeing the two off, Su Yu sat alone in the courtyard and began to plan his own affairs.

He is now 113 years old.

The passage of time is vividly illustrated by this number.

When he was born, Su Yuan was already 160 years old.

By calculation, Su Yuan is now 273 years old.

The maximum lifespan for those who achieve Foundation Establishment in the Human Path is only about three hundred years.

In other words, Su Yuan has at most less than thirty years left to live.

"It's time to go back."

He had accumulated ten years' worth of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage resources, and it was time to bring them back to complete the transformation of his family's foundation.

The next morning.

Su Yu left the cave and went straight to the sect's internal affairs pavilion.

As a Golden Core Elder, he did not need to ask anyone for permission to check his daily whereabouts.

However, if one wishes to leave the sect for an extended period, one must register with the Internal Affairs Department and be assigned a post outside the sect.

The Cangxuan Sect governs hundreds of thousands of miles, with numerous markets and mines, making it extremely necessary for Golden Core cultivators to guard these areas.

Many Golden Core elders who know they have no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage will choose to apply for a posting to a remote region, where they can become local tyrants and live a carefree life.

The head elder of the Internal Affairs Pavilion received Su Yu with great enthusiasm.

"Elder Su, would you like to apply for a posting to guard a garrison outside the region?"

The elder in charge looked at the roster and asked with a smile, "I wonder which location Elder Su has taken a fancy to? As long as there are no Golden Core elders stationed there at the moment, you may choose freely."

"Within the territory of Yue Kingdom, Tianyun Market."

Su Yu spoke calmly and directly stated the location he had already chosen.

The elder in charge was slightly taken aback, then looked at the map scroll for a while and nodded.

"Tianyun Market, the largest trading hub for cultivators within the Yue Kingdom, is indeed a prosperous place abundant in spiritual energy. Moreover, the elder guarding it has just passed away and been transferred back, and there is currently a shortage of manpower."

Tianyun Market was an official industry established by the Cangxuan Sect on the border of the Yue Kingdom.

There is an extremely tight third-tier city-protecting formation there, and the profits are extremely high.

Most importantly, Tianyun Market is only a few thousand miles away from Qingmu Market, where the Su family of Qianlong is located.

For cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, this is an extremely long journey.

But for a Golden Core cultivator who can fly through the air...

This distance is nothing more than a day's journey.

Su Yu's choice of Tianyun Market was an extremely prudent strategy that killed two birds with one stone.

They can legitimately enjoy the offerings and power of the Cangxuan Sect's Golden Core Guardian in Tianyun Market, while avoiding the sect's internal affairs.

It can also conveniently take care of the Su family of Qianlong.

"Since Elder Su is willing, I will process your travel documents and guardian seal."

The elder in charge was extremely efficient; he completed all the formalities in less than half an hour.

Su Yu accepted the bronze seal representing the highest authority in Tianyun Market and turned to walk out of the Inner Affairs Pavilion.

He didn't go back to his cave to pack anything.

All the resources he needed to carry had already been stored in the several storage bags around his waist.

Standing at the edge of the inner gate square, Su Yu took one last look at this magnificent Nascent Soul sect shrouded in mist and ever-changing scenery.

Tie Zhan descended the mountain for the sake of his family's future.

Chu Tiankuo and Lin Wan'er also descended the mountain in pursuit of a vague and uncertain revenge.

Now, it's time for him to leave.
