CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 9: LITTLE PEARL OF THE CULTIVATION WORLD (PART 9)

"Senior, what should I do about the Jade Token?"

"Rest assured, the Jade Token won’t be a threat to you. But henceforth, Mingwu Sect will no longer have a person like you; you must change your name and identity."

Liao Junyi glanced at the main peak, his eyes filled with malice: "One day, I will come back, and those who bullied and humiliated me will pay the price."

The remnant soul on the ring didn’t say anything.

Liao Junyi’s stubbornness was exactly what it wanted to see.

It should be known that after Liao Junyi became a True Inheritor, he secretly dealt with all the servants who had bullied him, and none of those servants escaped death. However, since they were just servants, no one in the sect bothered to take notice.

On the Liao Family’s side, after learning that Liao Junyi became a True Inheritor, they also sent people to repair the relationship, but all were turned away by Liao Junyi.

The strongest in the Liao Family was a Nascent Soul Great Perfection Cultivator, and Liao Junyi couldn’t seek justice.

If one day, Liao Junyi’s strength increased, he believed the Liao Family wouldn’t have a good ending.

Of course, avenging a grudge is one thing, but Liao Junyi was far more than just that.

Thinking of this, the remnant soul felt a strange excitement.

"Alright, take all the useful things from the cave dwelling, then head to the Task Hall and take on a difficult task."

Liao Junyi complied and left the Mingwu Sect that very day.

A few days later, the disciple responsible for watching over the Soul Tokens rushed to report to the Sect Master, saying that Liao Junyi’s Soul Token shattered.

Li Shuning, who had always been attentive to Liao Junyi, naturally knew that he took a task from the Task Hall. Although the task was difficult, with that ring, it was impossible for Liao Junyi to die.

Li Shuning sneered. She didn’t know what trick Liao Junyi played, but for him to leave Mingwu Sect, it must be that staying in the sect offered no benefit to his strength enhancement.

It’s just as well that he’s gone, now she can focus on her cultivation.

She could calmly wait until Liao Junyi became a high-rank cultivator, then find a way to deal with him.

Though Liao Junyi was gone, another talented genius would surely appear. People like Liao Junyi would never develop quietly.

She just needed to keep an eye on whichever sect suddenly had an extraordinary figure appear.

Li Shuning was certain Liao Junyi wasn’t dead, but Mingwu Sect was unaware of it.

After all, Liao Junyi was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and the sect did send people to investigate his whereabouts.

The task was to find a Thousand Illusion Beast cub. The Thousand Illusion Beast had abilities of illusion and transformation.

The sect wanted to find such a cub to study the Thousand Illusion Beast, hoping to derive some Illusion Arrays from it and understand the source of its transformation abilities.

Capturing an adult Thousand Illusion Beast was impossible, but there was a slight chance for a cub.

In recent years, reports of the Thousand Illusion Beast have frequently emerged near Mengye Mountain.

A team of Law Enforcement disciples directly went to Mengye Mountain, all of whom had cultivation above Nascent Soul.

Upon arriving at Mengye Mountain, they searched for an entire day and night. In a valley, they found a piece of bloodstained clothing that could faintly be recognized as the uniform of Mingwu Sect, specifically the white garment of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

After bringing back the clothing to Mingwu Sect, the Law Enforcement Elder examined the bloodstains on it.

Through a special spell, it was identified as Liao Junyi’s blood, along with the scent of the Thousand Illusion Beast.

Thus, Mingwu Sect concluded that Liao Junyi was killed by the Thousand Illusion Beast.

Although Liao Junyi had poor relationships, some people still found it a pity that he perished at such a young age, but that was all.

Life seemed to return to normal.

However, Mingwu Sect adjusted its requirements for disciples taking on tasks, forbidding those whose strength didn’t meet the task’s requirements from accepting them, and tasks had to be taken in groups with other disciples.

Li Shuning once again left the sect to train in the outside world.

In terms of cultivation, Li Rui had a good idea that she was well beyond the Out-of-Body Stage. Therefore, he wasn’t worried about where Li Shuning went.

In the plot, after Liao Junyi and Li Shuning became Dao companions, they had trained outside together and had some adventures, though Li Shuning always left the benefits to Liao Junyi.

Now, Li Shuning didn’t intend to leave those opportunities to him anymore; she intended to reclaim them all.

Two thousand years passed, and Li Shuning’s Communication Jade lit up. The Jade in her hand was quite precious within the sect, capable of initiating a call with another Communication Jade regardless of location.

A gentle voice of Qin Zijun came through: "Junior Martial Sister, you asked me to keep an eye on the geniuses from other sects; the brightest is definitely Wushuang from Xuanqing Sect. Now, Wushuang is about to marry the only descendant of Xuanqing Sect’s Supreme Elder, and our sect has also received an invitation."

Li Shuning stood up; she was in some ruins. It was a place she had found with Liao Junyi in the story.

Within the ruins was a secret chamber containing a cold pool, and within it was a lotus flower.

Cultivating while sitting on the lotus was remarkably effective. Originally, Li Shuning gave the opportunity to Liao Junyi, and he cultivated in that lotus for a hundred years. Meanwhile, she watched over him for a hundred years. When Liao Junyi emerged, the lotus disappeared, and the cold pool lost its chill, becoming an ordinary pond.

As soon as Li Shuning left the lotus, it withered quickly, and changes occurred in the cold pool.

"Senior Martial Brother, tell my father to attend the ceremony at Xuanqing Sect and let me lead the team."

"Alright, Junior Martial Sister."

Li Shuning glanced at the cold pool, gave a cold laugh, and then left the Secret Realm.

When Li Shuning returned to Mingwu Sect, Li Rui looked at her and found he couldn’t discern her cultivation at all.

Over the years, Li Rui’s strength had greatly improved, so not being able to see her cultivation indicated that hers surpassed his.

"Girl, what is your cultivation level now?"

Li Shuning smiled and said, "Father, let me keep it a secret, okay?"

Li Rui simply chuckled. The stronger his daughter, the better it was.

Mingwu Sect’s ancestor had been increasingly unable to suppress his cultivation, and if Li Shuning were powerful, she might become the sect’s new Guardian God.

Moreover, Li Shuning was still young.

The ancestor had lived for tens of thousands of years in the Cultivation World, but Li Shuning was only a few thousand years old.

"Father, you’ve been handing over sect affairs to Uncle recently, so you might as well take Mother on a little getaway. I’ve been cultivating diligently all these years, and now..." Li Shuning waved the invitation in her hand.

"I’m going to stir up some fun at Xuanqing Sect, to relax a bit. And you, Father and Mother, should maybe have a little brother or sister for Xiao Ning!"

Li Rui, both amused and helpless, tapped Li Shuning on the head: "You cheeky girl, why don’t you find a Dao companion yourself and have a child?"

Li Shuning bounded out: "Hehe, Father, I’m living freely on my own, what do I need a Dao companion for? Father, I’m off, no need to disturb you and Mother any longer."

Li Shuning exited the grand hall and flew directly to the mountain gate, where disciples were already waiting for her.

She took out a giant Spirit Ship, allowing all the disciples heading to the Xuanqing Sect ceremony to board, and set off towards Xuanqing Sect.
