CHAPTER 633: 633 SURVEILLANCE

Luo Yunhai waved his hand, and everyone took their leave. Only his daughter, Luo Yinghui, stayed behind.

"Father, I think their suspicions are correct. It should be Tan Shaoting who entered the tenth floor."

"Any guesses?"

"I think if it were anyone else, they wouldn’t keep it a secret."

Actually, thinking this way is correct. They’re all part of sects, and this is an honorable thing, right? They’re cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage, and if they truly reached the tenth floor, their future prospects would be limitless.

"Besides, he definitely knows the way and the timing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wanted to return, especially since we only waited a few days at the Trial Tower."

Luo Yunhai nodded. His daughter’s analysis made sense.

"Father, now that he’s in our Shushan Sect, we’ll definitely discover something in the future."

"Yes. We’ve already sent someone to get close to him.

Little Hui, now that you’ve been out, you know there’s always someone better, right? Learn to cultivate with a humble heart."

"Father, I understand."

This time it indeed taught her a vivid lesson. If it weren’t for Xing Chongshan and the others arriving in time, she might have already been gone.

And at that time, she absolutely had no chance of facing a Fourth-stage Sword-toothed Leopard. Actually, this is the gap, even if she doesn’t want to admit it. Others, though having lower cultivation than hers, performed more capably—an undeniably demoralizing fact.

"Little Hui, go back and seclude yourself in cultivation." Luo Yunhai, having just this one offspring, lost a lifelong partner for this child.

Luo Yinghui’s mother was just a concubine, but because she got pregnant, he gave up a partner for the child.

This child didn’t disappoint him: her Spirit Root was excellent, and her comprehension was extraordinary too. Very few at her age have reached Qi Cultivation Great Perfection.

He hopes she will devote herself to cultivation, otherwise, it would be a waste of her excellent talent.

"Father, I’m going back."

"Go back and reflect in seclusion." He still added a cautious reminder.

Now, alone, Luo Yunhai pondered the matter. Why were all the sects on the continent scrambling to enter the Big and Small Secret Realm?

In truth, they all wanted to find some clues. The Book Collection Pavilion contained many descriptions, but for some reason, the Spiritual Energy drastically changed two thousand years ago, and the once achievable Divinity Transformation and Ascension became impossible.

Moreover, Spiritual Energy continued to thin out, so much so that by now, very few could cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Generations of cultivators sought the reason, willing to seize any cultivation opportunity, with hopes of Immortal Ascension.

The seniors even united but to no avail, with Spiritual Energy still dwindling.

Everyone was unwilling to accept this, but their passion had been worn down.

This Tan Shaoting must be watched closely. If he were a disciple within the sect, he would understand the gravity of this matter, but he was only a Loose Cultivator, clueless in this regard.

They’ve already found someone to guide him. Luo Yunhai doesn’t want to do anything against his principles, so he hopes Tan Shaoting will understand the situation and be sensible enough to speak up.

Luo Yinghui returned to her abode; she didn’t live with her father, as she had her own cave dwelling.

Upon returning, she cleaned and rested, but couldn’t fall asleep. She pondered every detail from her recent outing, feeling that coming back was sheer luck.

Knowing her own background, even though she was viewed by outsiders as the revered senior disciple of Shushan Sect, only she knew that among the upper echelons of Shushan, she was merely acknowledged for her exceptional Spirit Root, her lineage unaccepted.

Her father’s wife was the daughter of the Great Elder of Shushan Sect and the only Nascent Soul Stage cultivator there.

To keep her, her father and his wife separated; their marriage had become existent only in name.

Upon learning what had happened, she was determined to prove herself worthy of recognition.

This time was a perfect chance to showcase herself, but fate didn’t favor her, denying her the opportunity.

No, she must find Tan Shaoting, find a way to make him help her.

Even if she didn’t reach the tenth floor, persuading Tan Shaoting to reveal the secret would still be an achievement for her.

All of Shushan Sect’s upper echelons were focused on this issue, suspecting the new secret realm might offer news.

However, it’s restricted to Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators; otherwise, they would enter personally.

Nothing came from it so far. They’ve also become aware of Tan Shaoting.

Though it’s mere speculation, when everyone suspects the same thing, it bears a strong likelihood.

Many are thus keeping an eye on Tan Shaoting and them.

As the four of them entered the small courtyard, Tan Shaoting activated the Array, yet he still felt unsafe.

Earlier, he sensed several Divine Senses sweep across here, likely because everyone suspected it was he who ascended to the tenth floor. They would need to be cautious with this space from now on.

"You guys freshen up first, is there anything you’d like to eat?"

"Dad, are we going to settle here from now on?"

"Yes, I want to research some information, see if there’s any introduction to this time-space tunnel present here.

Once the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm reopens, we’ll go there together as that’s the place where we arrived here, we still need to try it."

"Dad, I saw Mom in the Trial Tower," Qi Yan told his dad.

Qi Hong and Qi Wen nodded in agreement.

"I also saw your mom, we’ll discuss it later."

The father and sons boiled water to bathe; since there was food in the space, they didn’t cook."

"I also spoke with your mom. Have you noticed she seems different?"

The three children shook their heads, "Dad, Mom is the same to us, she cried all the time."

"Me too, Mom also said she’s waiting for us to return," Qi Hong said with a furrowed brow. Why would Dad say this?

"Dad, why did you say that?" Qi Wen asked; as a girl, her emotional intelligence surpassed that of her brothers.

"Because your mom gave me a completely unfamiliar look."

This left the three children puzzled.

"Alright, don’t dwell on it. We’ll know when we get back.

Tomorrow, we’ll pick up tasks so you can get acquainted with the cultivators here."

The three children nodded. At the Task Hall, they heard that all disciples must undertake missions.

"It’s unsuitable for us father and sons to venture outside the sect, so it’s best to choose a task within the sect’s Qi Refining First Layer.

Upon arrival, many Divine Senses focused on us here."

"Dad, why? Is it because we reached the tenth floor?"

Tan Shaoting nodded, "That’s likely the reason, but they don’t suspect you. They suspect me."

The three kids grew anxious, "Dad, should we leave then?"
