“Sigh!” After a long time, a sigh drifted from the highest peak.
After that, there was no response.
Several days passed.
Heavy snow fell onto the highest peak, turning it completely white.
Many days later, Qiu Baihui was covered from head to toe in snow.
There was a small mound of snow where Qiu Baihui was kneeling on the highest peak.
Soon, the snow completely buried her.
“Elder, she won’t die, right?”
A disciple passing by the Forbidden Ground couldn’t help but ask the elder beside him.
“She’s a half-step Virtual Realm master. She won’t die so easily,” the elder said with a sigh.
No one had thought that the half-step Virtual Realm master hidden in Honghai Sacred Ground would be a woman.
Spring passed and autumn came.
The heavy snow gradually melted.
On the highest peak, Qiu Baihui seemed to have stopped breathing.
By the end of spring, petals had scattered all over the highest peak, embellishing the woman with a variety of colors.
“Sigh! Why are you doing this! Your Honghai Sacred Ground has a powerful patron supporting you. But instead of going to them, you come here. That’s not right!” Someone far away sighed again.
“A patron?” The woman in the snow suddenly opened her mouth.
As she spoke, ice dropped from her body.
Her face lit up with surprise.
“How do you think your uncle became the master of a Sacred Ground? Our Huanhai Sacred Ground has three Virtual Realm masters. What does your Qiu Family have?” The person speaking seemed to be slightly resentful.
“Ancestor, who is this patron?”
“I can only tell you so much. You have to find out the rest by yourself. They haven’t taken any action on your behalf so far, and I don’t want to damage your relationship further.”
The old man on the highest peak didn’t seem to be willing to say anything more.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Qiu Baihui left the Huanhai Sacred Ground, three human figures appeared outside the Forbidden Ground of ??the highest peak of the Huanhai Holy Land.
“Elder Qishan, could you have killed Qiu Honghai and Qiu Shuzhen with just one sword?”
“No way!”
Just one sword...
...
How powerful was that person who attacked them?
“Since when did the South Continent have such a master? Things are not as simple as they seem!”
“The world is about to change!”
...
In that moment, the Huanhai Sacred Ground masters felt that something was strange.
Was it so easy to break through to the Virtual Realm? Was it so easy to master the Virtual Realm?
Li Mu had been in the Honghai Sacred Ground’s Forbidden Ground for half a year now.
Other than checking in, he continued searching for the demon’s trail when he was bored.
In this half a year, he had turned over every stone in the Sacred Ground several times.
“Checking in!”
In a cavern in the Forbidden Ground, Li Mu stared at something that looked like an altar.
“Congratulations to the host for checking in successfully at the Honghai Sacred Ground. You are rewarded with forty years of power.”
“Forty years of power That’s almost the same as the reward from the Well of Prenatal Qi. If that’s the case, I should just return to the Imperial Palace of the State of Great Xia. That place is much more interesting than here.”
Thinking of that little guy, a smile appeared on Li Mu’s face.
Playing with him had been rather fun.
Now, that kid should have been exposed to martial arts already, right?
As he recalled those memories, his hands stayed on the altar.
“What the purpose of this altar?”
It had strange runes and several holes on it.
The holes seemed to be the size of prenatal stones.
Li Mu took a few prenatal stones from the Sacred Ground and put them in, but there was no reaction at all.
“Does it require a password for activation?”
Li Mu pondered for a moment. “Open Sesame...”
The next spring...
In the Shouning Palace, Li Mu was lying on a recliner under the peach tree.
“Grandpa, I am now a seventh level Acquired Realm warrior. Father said that as long as I become a master, he will release my mother.”
Under the peach tree, the Sixteenth Prince was already twelve years old.
He was much more mature than before.
Occasionally, he confided in Li Mu.
“Then you have to practice hard.”
“Grandpa, when do you think I can become a master?”
“I...I don’t know.” Li Mu shook his head slightly.
He was only a seventh level Acquired Realm warrior.
There was still the Higher Heaven Realm and the Spirit Manipulation Realm.
After reaching the Spirit Manipulation Realm, even geniuses were prone to dying while trying to break through.
Fortunately, there were many resources in the Imperial Palace. Mount Yan had produced many medicinal herbs rich in prenatal qi. The Well of Prenatal Qi could also help him to reach the Spirit Manipulation Realm.
But what about the saint-level?
What constituted a master?
By the time he became a master, his mother might already be dead.
“Mother is always in tears all day. I’m training so hard just so that my mother can be released earlier. Grandpa, I’m afraid I can’t spend more time with you.”
“Child, cultivating takes time. Proper rest is essential to helping you practice.”
Li Mu shook his head.
“Grandpa, are you lonely? I will ask my siblings to come and play with you.” The Sixteenth Prince bowed to Li Mu, then turned and left.
Looking at the Sixteenth Prince’s leaving silhouette, Li Mu sighed softly.
He knew what the Sixteenth Prince was hoping he would say.
He was hoping that he could help to get Concubine Li released.
“This kid is very resolute. But in this vast world, he won’t grow if I shelter him. He needs to experience some things by himself. These will become important memories for him.”
The Shouning Palace became peaceful again.
The checking in reward in the Well of Prenatal seemed to have reached a plateau.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOccasionally, he would get about fifty years of power.
Due to the changes in the Well of Prenatal Qi, he had received many strange rewards for checking in in the past two years.
He occasionally shifted the recliner under the peach tree.
In the Shouning Palace, six or seven children aged four to five ran around the front and back yard.
At times, they would run into the hall and peek at him.
Then, they picked up the leaves around Li Mu’s recliner and put them into a broken dish.
After that, they picked up some petals again and used broken stones to slice the leaves and place them on broken tiles.
These stacks of “side dishes” were placed neatly in the backyard.
The five-year-old girl pulled Li Mu off the couch. “Grandpa, come and eat!”
“Okay!” Li Mu snorted.
“Did you dig these up from the garden? It’s all neatly laid out. These... these are the medicinal herbs that I planted...”
Suddenly, Li Mu’s face darkened.
There was a lot of prenatal qi in the palace.
Not wanting to waste this prenatal qi, Li Mu planted many medicinal herbs there.
Now, these medicinal herbs were lying on the broken tiles.
Used as the children’s make-believe “dishes”.
Although he was initially angry, Li Miu’s heart softened when he looked at the children’s innocent eyes.
“Shall I teach you a song?” Placing his hands behind his back, Li Mu imitated a kindergarten teacher and said.
“Okay!” Six voices chimed in unison.
Drool started to drip out of one of the little boy’s open mouth.
Hiss!
Another child took in a deep breath and sucked in his mucus.
Li Mu patted his forehead.
“Take your heart and my heart, break it up, chop it up, string it up into skewers, sprinkle some pepper and grill the skewers...”
Soon, the courtyard of Shouning Palace filled with the sounds of singing.
It wasn’t that Li Mu wanted to teach them such a silly song.
But which child liked serious songs?
This was how the types of songs sung in the Imperial Palace began to change.
