CHAPTER 209: CHAPTER 6: SKY PIT (6)

Looking at this river, Li Shuning fell into contemplation.

Those fish had already burrowed into the silt at the riverbed, and in doing so, although they changed color, one would still not see fish in the river.

These fish are very special.

Li Shuning had once been to a similar riverbank.

For some reason, every riverbank always had those transparent fish.

Li Shuning had personally seen someone reach down into the river, only to be gnawed into a skeleton.

The speed of the fish is extremely fast, barely a touch to the hand, and in less than a minute, the person became a skeleton.

However, when Li Shuning probed into the water with her spiritual power, she suddenly discovered that the fish were moving in a very regular pattern, inexplicably entering into a rhythm, and then she comprehended the Fish Walking Technique, or rather, Fish Movement Technique is more accurate.

Though it was the steps that were moving, actually, the entire body moved rhythmically, thus achieving such a movement technique.

For the first time, Li Shuning had other thoughts about the Sky Pit.

Speaking of which, there are many unknown things about the Sky Pit, yet, judging by what is currently seen, it indeed seems to serve a purpose of elimination, right?

However, after some people are eliminated, the inside of the Sky Pit is actually a treasure.

For example, the movement technique she comprehended, or the crystal Li Tong obtained.

Nevertheless, although she had a different view of the Sky Pit, Li Shuning was still puzzled, just what kind of divine force created this Sky Pit?

The elderly and children were eliminated, and then no more children appeared. In the end, wouldn’t humanity in this world die out?

Li Shuning sat by the river for a long time. For some reason, those insects on the plains would not crawl to the riverbank.

Li Shuning wanted to know, if those small fish absorbed the impurities in her True Yuan, would it have any effect on them.

Time passed quickly, Li Shuning cultivated by the river while observing those small fish, but once the small fish sank to the riverbed, they never came out again.

Li Shuning was a bit worried but did not go into the river, as the presence of those fish was still there; she could sense it. If she rashly went into the river, she didn’t know if disturbing them would affect them negatively.

The seven days were almost up, yet those fish hadn’t moved at all.

Li Shuning felt a bit helpless and anxious, as in a few hours, she would have to leave the Sky Pit.

Next time she returns, she might not come to this place again.

She wouldn’t know whether those small fish, which she had uncertainly affected, would be safe in the end.

As time ticked by, a smile suddenly bloomed on Li Shuning’s face, as that smile was like a ray of light illuminating the entire dark sky, flamboyantly enchanting.

She saw those fish rush out of the sediment at the riverbed, their transparent bodies swimming happily in the river.

Li Shuning somewhat reluctantly reached out to stroke those fish softly and whispered a farewell as her body began to ascend.

Returning to her family, Li Shuning found a group of people flocking around Li Tong like stars around the moon.

Seeing Li Shuning’s return, Li Tong smiled.

Li Tong was charming and pretty, but compared to Li Shuning, she fell far short.

"Sister Shuning, you’re so lucky to return, welcome home. Sister Shuning, you probably don’t know, this time in the Sky Pit, I obtained another treasure and am preparing to go into seclusion for cultivation. You probably don’t know yet, Sister, but now I am also a Direct Lineage Disciple."

After saying this, Li Tong proudly led a group of people away.

Li Shuning just smiled, quietly; she feared this time, most of the treasure Li Tong obtained was handed over. Otherwise, how could Li Minglun allow someone from a collateral branch to become a Direct Lineage Disciple?

Without a good reason, it could cause resentment among other disciples of the family.

However, if there’s a treasure, everything is different, right?

Indeed, Li Tong got a bottle of transparent liquid this time, of which she only kept one-fifth and submitted the rest.

It is precisely for this reason that the Clan Leader was so generous.

To be honest, Li Tong felt incredibly stingy about it.

However, thinking about how it could disgust Li Shuning, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Yes, Li Tong had pushed Li Shuning deliberately that day.

The divine child of the family, she had always been the little transparent in the family, standing silently in the corner, watching Li Shuning’s magnificent demeanor, it made her jealous.

Yes, jealous.

Born on the same day, why could one person be so dazzling while another so ordinary?

Was it because Li Shuning was from the Direct Lineage?

Li Tong had always harbored an inexplicable animosity towards Li Shuning, though she usually concealed it very well.

Entering the Sky Pit, that time Li Shuning saved her, she was actually somewhat moved inside, but inexplicably, at the edge of the abyss, seeing Li Shuning wanting to leave, she viciously pushed her, thinking if the divine child died in the Sky Pit, maybe, just maybe, she could become the brightest star?

She felt an inexplicable attraction from those strange bees.

She tried everything to lure the strange bees away and stole the crystal out.

No way would she lose it.

When the crystal was in her hand, she deeply realized the resonance with her True Yuan within.

Maybe this is her opportunity.

Indeed, the crystal is a good thing.

Li Shuning, when I emerge from seclusion again, there will be no place for you in the Li Family.

What divine child of the family, if her cultivation is no longer the first, will she still attract attention? She can only be trampled underfoot.

Previously, the Li Family, had a rule, every six months, a trial would be conducted, such trials would allocate family resources based on ranking.

In the past, the best resources among the younger generation always went to Li Shuning.

This time, will she still get them?

Li Shuning was unaware of Li Tong’s ambitions, she was also in her own house’s underground training room cultivating at that moment.

She integrated the Fish Movement Technique into her Cultivation Technique; with spiritual power assisting on the side, everything went smoothly, and now that her True Yuan was free of impurities, she started compressing her True Yuan, laying a more solid foundation.

Most importantly, Li Shuning had previously wanted to learn some martial arts, arriving in this world was like having a pillow sent when she was sleepy.

When Li Shuning cultivates, she uses spiritual power to detail the method of the Cultivation Technique so that when she returns to the real world, she can also cultivate.

Li Shuning was about to break through to the Fourth Rank, but after compressing her True Yuan, her power barely remained at the early stage of the Third Rank.

In three days, the family trial will commence.

Li Tong was full of prestige, but Li Shuning was a bit indifferent.

What if she doesn’t get first place? Can the family expel her? Not to mention those bits of resources, she didn’t care about them at all.

Plus, Li Shuning’s parents had passed away when she was young, sacrificing for the family.
