CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 2: LITTLE PEARL OF THE CULTIVATION WORLD (PART 2)

Thank you "Lan Yan" and "Li Zihan" for the tips, mwah~

*******************************************

"Host, would you like to receive the plot?"

"Naturally." Li Shuning gritted her teeth in anger.

Why is this 006 so irritating today? It already warned her that it’s a highly dangerous mission and still asked if she wanted to accept the plot. It’s truly infuriating. If she doesn’t accept the plot, she’d know nothing when entering a high-difficulty task world, wouldn’t that be even more dangerous?

"Deducting two Space-Time Energy Points."

Countless images flooded Li Shuning’s mind.

This time she traveled to a Cultivation World, and the original Li Shuning was the daughter of the Sect Master of the largest sect in that world: Mingwu Sect.

From the age of three, after she was found to have an Abnormal Spirit Root, her life had always been smooth sailing.

As the daughter of the Sect Master, she held a supreme position, adored by everyone, and with a strength unmatched by her peers, naturally, she was respected and loved by all Mingwu Sect members.

In the original storyline, Mingwu Sect was always the largest sect, admired by countless people, and Li Shuning also received abundant resources from Mingwu Sect, facing no obstacles in her cultivation. After becoming a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, she and her senior brother became Dao companions, loving each other and cultivating together, eventually ascending to the Immortal Realm, leaving behind a beautiful tale.

But everything changed.

And this change was brought about by a servant from Mingwu Sect.

The servant unintentionally obtained a ring that contained ample cultivation resources. Most importantly, the ring housed the remnants of a soul of a Mahayana Cultivator.

The Mahayana Cultivator had nearly turned to ashes when their ascension failed due to the Heavenly Tribulation, and if not for the ring, they would have ceased to exist.

Now, the ring had fallen into the hands of that servant boy, and since the Heavenly Tribulation left the Mahayana Cultivator without a body and with a fragmented Divine Soul, only a wisp remained.

Upon learning the ring was with the servant boy, they devised ways to enhance the boy’s power.

And to gain power, the best place was naturally Mingwu Sect. Becoming a core disciple there provided access to all sorts of cultivation resources.

The key point was, the Mahayana Cultivator’s Divine Soul was too incomplete to perform a soul takeover, which was why they placed their hope on the servant boy. To truly live again, their only hope was Mingwu Sect’s Treasure of the Sect, although this was merely the Mahayana Cultivator’s speculation.

One capable of becoming a Mahayana Cultivator would hardly be simple-minded.

The servant boy originally had the lowest Mixed Spirit Roots, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been a servant. But with the Mahayana Cultivator’s guidance, he covertly killed a Mingwu Sect’s True Disciple, acquiring their Single Spirit Root and replacing his Mixed Spirit Roots, finding a chance to become a disciple of Mingwu Sect, gradually rising to prominence, and even engaging with Li Shuning.

Li Shuning originally had a great relationship with her senior brother, but under the servant boy’s instigation, their relationship gradually turned cold.

Li Shuning’s senior brother, being Li Shuning’s father’s first disciple, had excellent talent and Spirit Root, with a good nature. Yet, ultimately, the senior brother mysteriously disappeared because of the servant disciple, who actually killed him and extracted his Spirit Root.

The servant boy was eloquent, slowly changing the relationship between Li Shuning and himself.

Although Li Shuning’s father felt the servant boy was somehow off, clearly entering Mingwu Sect with Mixed Spirit Roots but somehow transforming into Single Spirit Root, and enhancing his cultivation so rapidly, his affection for his daughter overweighed his suspicions.

Li Shuning and the servant boy became Dao companions, giving the servant boy access to even more cultivation resources.

Their cultivation levels grew higher and higher, and in just a thousand years, the servant boy became a Mahayana Cultivator.

On the day the entire sect celebrated the servant boy’s achievement of becoming a Mahayana Cultivator, he used Li Shuning as a Furnace, draining her of all her cultivation, and even destroyed her Spirit Root.

Moreover, he made her watch as he killed her parents and annihilated the entire sect. The servant boy obtained Mingwu Sect’s Treasure of the Sect, but unfortunately, the Mahayana Cultivator lodged in the ring didn’t restore their power, and their remnants of a soul remained just as fragmented, unrepaired.

Thereafter, Mingwu Sect was wiped out from the Cultivation World.

Li Shuning, once the treasured jewel of Mingwu Sect, finally fell into the mundane world, lost her cultivation, and died begging.

Even before her death, she longed for vengeance but was powerless, forced to hear accounts of the servant boy’s glory, founding his own sect, marrying a Mahayana Fairy from another large sect, becoming a reputed tale.

Li Shuning felt a heaviness in her heart upon receiving this storyline.

How innocent Mingwu Sect was, merely having a treasure, yet facing complete annihilation as a result. Most notably, the servant boy’s methods—extracting others’ Spirit Roots, using her as a Furnace—these are completely the ways of an evil cultivator.

Yet, he even wed an Immortal from a prominent sect, earning a reputation as a romance, what a stark irony. The foremost sect was extinguished without anyone suspecting a thing.

Furthermore, with the boy becoming powerful and being Li Shuning’s Dao companion, he had a chance at becoming the Sect Master, why destroy the sect so hastily?

No wonder 006 said this world was dangerous. The Cultivation World overflows with imperceptible harmful methods.

Li Shuning appeared in this world quite early.

She was merely six years old, having cultivated for only three years, yet already reaching the Tenth Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, ready to break through to Foundation Establishment Cultivator at any time.

However, she was indeed very young, and Li Rui, Li Shuning’s father, was reluctant for her to break through too early, hoping she experiences more honing to build a solid foundation first.

At this time, the servant boy wasn’t yet present.

Li Shuning took a deep breath, closed her eyes, recalling some of the circumstances of this world and cultivation methods.

She remembered the Spiritual Power Cultivation Method from the Future World, contemplating its effectiveness in this world.

Upon trying, she discovered cultivating here was even more effective than on Nadis Planet.

And in the Cultivation World, possessing strong spiritual power gets equated to a strong Divine Soul, bringing great benefits.

After cultivating spiritual power, she followed the original host’s cultivation technique, discovering she absorbed a considerable amount of spiritual energy in no time.

Indeed, as expected from the greatest sect on the Heavenly Origin Continent, the spiritual energy was so abundant that just a bit of cultivation absorbed so much of it.

Li Shuning knew well that strength and a firm fist are what give a person a voice. She wasn’t a small child, uninterested in playing, but rather extremely diligent in her cultivation efforts.

Moreover, in this world, even if she took out a hovercar, it would likely be useless. To cultivators, although the hovercar’s outer shell is hard, impervious to bullets, even a great cultivator could sweep it away with a single sword stroke, let alone flattening a mountain.

Perhaps it could serve a purpose during an escape, going invisible with the hovercar to flee, but it might still be discovered, and its speed certainly couldn’t match high-rank cultivators.

Thus, she had virtually no means of preserving her life, leaving her only with her own efforts to enhance her strength to guarantee her survival.
