Chapter 55: I Hope She Won’t Regret It Later
A month after the system upgrade, Li Xiaojun’s cultivation broke through to the early Golden Core stage. He estimated that reaching the Nascent Soul stage would still take at least six more months.
Although Li Xiaojun’s cultivation had advanced to the Golden Core stage, due to the system’s concealment, even great emperors would find it difficult to detect his cultivation level.
This was quite good, as it allowed him to continue hiding.
Heaven knows what Liu Hongxia, that troublesome girl, would do if she discovered he was able to cultivate.
As for this troublesome girl, since she does not acknowledge him as her father, Li Xiaojun would not treat her as a biological daughter.
In fact, if Liu Hongxia were to treat him a bit better, he could easily spend one hundred million energy values to enhance her talent to the level of Immortal spirit roots.
But now, ha! Even if Liu Hongxia knelt down and begged him, it was already impossible.
Thinking of his daughter made Li Xiaojun recall Little Eight and Little Nine.
A hundred thousand years ago, he didn’t have a lot of energy values, so he had only enhanced Little Eight and Little Nine to Yin-Yang spirit roots.
“System, help me enhance Little Eight and Little Nine to Immortal spirit roots,” Li Xiaojun instructed the system.
[System Notification: Enhancing…]
Soon, Li Xiaojun’s energy values were deducted by two hundred million, leaving him with over two billion.
While Li Xiaojun enhanced his two daughters’ spirit roots, Autumn Rain Star began to experience something.
In the Ziwei Imperial Palace, "Hmm?"
The cultivating Ziwei Great Emperor, Li Yuchun—now called Li Ziwei—suddenly felt subtle changes occurring in her body.
Such changes left her in shock.
“This, my spirit root is evolving…”
After a moment, the evolution of her spirit root stopped.
Li Ziwei quickly took out a talent testing crystal.
A pure white light burst forth.
“I—I have Immortal spirit roots?” Li Ziwei exclaimed in disbelief.
She never expected that while just practicing, she would suddenly possess Immortal spirit roots.
While Li Ziwei was in shock, in another place, the Ziyao Imperial Palace, the former Li Yuqiu—now Li Ziyao—also sensed changes in her spirit root.
Once the changes concluded, she immediately tested her spirit root as well.
Then she discovered that she had actually gained Immortal spirit roots.
As she transformed into an Immortal spirit root, the bottleneck of the great perfection of the Tribulation stage seemed to loosen.
At this rate, all she needed was the intention to break through the human immortal barrier quickly and ascend to the Immortal Realm with the help of spiritual energy.
“Big Sister, I’ve become an Immortal spirit root.”
As soon as the detection ended, Li Ziyao immediately called her sister Li Ziwei.
“What? You’re also an Immortal spirit root?” Li Ziwei was extremely surprised to hear what Li Ziyao said.
“Could it be that you have become an Immortal spirit root too, Sister?” Li Ziyao asked in astonishment.
“Yes, I just felt a change in my spirit root, and upon testing, it turned into an Immortal spirit root,” Li Ziwei replied.
“I have too! I suddenly became an Immortal spirit root, and my bottleneck has loosened. I can ascend soon!” Li Ziyao told Li Ziwei excitedly.
“Ziyao, come here. We need to have a good talk.”
“Okay, Sister.”
Soon, Li Ziyao took the teleportation array directly to the Ziwei Imperial Palace.
“Sister!”
“Hmm, come over so I can check your spirit root,” Li Ziwei waved to Li Ziyao.
Before long, both confirmed that their spirit root levels had become Immortal spirit roots.
“Sister, what do you think happened? Why did we both suddenly become Immortal spirit roots?” Li Ziyao asked her sister Li Ziwei.
“I don’t know either, but I once heard Mother say that when we were young, our spirit roots were just ordinary earth spirit roots. After Dad passed away, our spirit roots suddenly evolved to Yin-Yang spirit roots, and our seven older sisters directly evolved to Immortal spirit roots.”
“Are you saying this is related to Dad?” Li Ziyao asked in surprise.
“Well, Dad has been gone for a hundred thousand years, so it should have nothing to do with him,” Li Ziwei shook her head.
“But how can we explain this? We haven’t eaten any rare treasures that could evolve spirit roots,” Li Ziyao said.
“Moreover, the rare treasures capable of evolving into Immortal spirit roots probably only exist in the Immortal Realm; there are virtually none in the cultivation world.”
“I don’t know either,” Li Ziwei shook her head.
She couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation for why the sisters suddenly evolved into Immortal spirit roots.
“Sister, I miss Mother. Shall we go visit her?” Li Ziyao looked at Li Ziwei.
“Okay, let’s go back and see Mother.” Li Ziwei nodded. “I also feel that I am about to ascend; this may be the last time we can see Mother.”
Their mother only had low-level spirit roots.
Even with her children bringing her various rare treasures to cultivate, she only reached the Transformation stage.
Later, after their older sisters grew stronger, they found many longevity pills to help extend her life, but it only allowed her to live for over fifteen thousand years.
After their mother passed away, they buried her on Bixiao Peak of the Biyun Sect and set up powerful formations to protect her grave.
Basically, every hundred years, one of the sisters would go to the Taihuang Ancestor Star to pay tribute to their mother.
As the sisters prepared to return to Taihuang Star, arrangements needed to be made for Autumn Rain Star.
Half a month later, the sisters finally set off for Taihuang Star.
At the very moment Li Ziwei and her sister set off, far away over a thousand light-years away, Liu Hongxia learned the news right away.
“What? The Li Ziwei and Li Ziyao sisters are coming to Taihuang Star?”
Upon hearing this news, Liu Hongxia was greatly shocked.
The teleportation array from Autumn Rain Star to Taihuang Star only took a few months.
“No, I must find a way to delay them.”
Liu Hongxia felt anxious.
If Li Ziwei and her group arrived at Taihuang Star, Li Xiaojun’s matters would likely become exposed.
Her plan had just begun; she could not let them ruin it.
At the very least, she needed to gather a large batch of Immortal spirit roots before handing Li Xiaojun over to them.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Hongxia finally made a decision.
Then, she made an interstellar call.
Less than a week after Liu Hongxia made the call, a piece of news spread throughout most of the Cultivation Alliance.
The Hengyun Star System was in rebellion; Great Ascension stage saint Feng Wudi led the Eighth Legion in a revolt, sealing off the entire Hengyun Star System and destroying all nearby teleportation arrays.
The Hengyun Star System was the shortest must-pass road between Taihuang Star and Autumn Rain Star.
If they didn’t go through the Hengyun Star System, they would have to take a significantly longer route!
With the teleportation arrays in the Hengyun Star System cut off, returning from Autumn Rain Star to Taihuang Star would take at least a few years.
