Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1537: Chapter 1537: Liu Xiaozhu Becomes Sect Master

Yu Huping nodded, “Indeed. They have their own affairs.”

Yu Huping had already reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection, yet he couldn’t find an opportunity to advance. After meeting the couple, his mindset changed, feeling as if he had brushed against a breakthrough. Now that the Cultivation World was relatively peaceful, it was indeed a good time to enter closed-door cultivation.

He found Mu Tian, “Old Ancestor, Xiao Zhu has been following me for so many years, along with a few Peak Masters assisting him.”

Mu Tian nodded, “I trust Xiao Zhu. Go into closed-door cultivation with peace of mind.”

Yu Huping, as a Sect Master, was truly a very diligent and responsible person, performing exceptionally well over the years.

There was no issue with him stepping down as Sect Master. Judging by his situation, he should advance to Divinity Transformation, which would only make the sect more powerful.

“Sect Master, go into closed-door cultivation first; let Xiao Zhu act as a proxy for now. When you come out, he can formally take over.”

“Yes.”

“Since this decision is made, you should arrange it quickly. This is my little token of appreciation, hoping that when you emerge, our Xuantian Sect will have an additional Divinity Transformation Cultivator.”

Yu Huping gratefully accepted, “Thank you, Old Ancestor.”

“This is what you deserve. You’ve worked diligently for so many years. The sect will not forget, take whatever resources you need.”

“Thank you, Old Ancestor.”

Su Yuanyuan maintained the array rather swiftly, as it was typically maintained annually.

Upon returning, she heard that the Sect Master was going into closed-door cultivation for Divine Transformation, which was a significant event.

She thought to herself that if she knew it, likely the other sects knew it too.

Now, with a high status, she knew a lot; it wasn’t that they didn’t know who the spies of other sects were, it was just that they let them be because there would always be some who infiltrate.

In the evening, she sent a message to Mu Tian.

“Old Ancestor, sorry to trouble you.”

Su Yuanyuan gave Mu Tian two ginsengfruits and also gave two to Yu Huping.

Since entering the Xuantian Sect, they’ve always received goodwill and care, so she wouldn’t hesitate to give such good items.

Mu Tian was amazed by her fortune.

Su Yuanyuan didn’t explain much.

With these two ginsengfruits, Yu Huping felt more confident in advancing.

Tan Shaoting had captured the traitor, so Su Yuanyuan was relieved.

It had been a long time since she had last visited the Trial Tower, truly a good place.

Since advancing, she hadn’t really engaged in combat. With time at hand, entering to cultivate seemed well.

Tan Shaoting, upon returning, had the traitor taken away. He returned to Huai Sheng Mountain and was told his wife had been sent to the Trial Tower and thought of going in to have a look.

Even though minor advancement didn’t lead to a Heart Demon, he felt that his state of mind wasn’t particularly stable, so he thought it best to stay in for a while.

Before he could act, an urgent order arrived from the Sect Master, informing that Chen Xiaorui had been abducted, prompting him and Sun Qizheng to chase after her.

There was no time to wait for his wife; he had to set off immediately.

The matter concerning Chen Xiaorui had greatly diminished within the sect; it seemed unlikely anyone would abduct her. This was very unrealistic.

Sun Qizheng was a third-level Nascent Soul cultivator, advancing extremely quickly, though still incomparable to the couple.

Knowing of Chen Xiaorui’s abduction two days earlier, a forbidden technique was placed on her by Gu Ersheng, allowing them to find her.

The duo followed the hints left by the forbidden technique, tracking from behind.

All along the way, Sun Qizheng discussed the many changes in Chen Xiaorui over the years, now a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, perhaps due to the activation of her Demon Mother Body.

Now that the Demon Realm had stabilized, could it be that some demons really mixed in? That was the most worrisome part.

The duo continued their pursuit, knowing by their speed that whoever took Chen Xiaorui was at least a Nascent Soul cultivator.

“I don’t know of any Nascent Soul cultivators leaving the sect.”

“But if they weren’t from our sect, they couldn’t roam freely inside, right?”

“Hmm, the Nascent Souls within the sect are either on missions or stationed in the Small Thousand Worlds.”

“I’m not very familiar with the sect’s Small Thousand World. Which direction is this going to?”

“This direction should be towards the entrance of the Bai Ai Small Thousand World, but the sect hasn’t received any message that Li Shaobai returned from Bai Ai.”

After Sun Qizheng finished speaking, he still sent a message to Liu Xiaozhu. Although it was a guess, that’s the direction.

Only a few knew of the forbidden technique on Chen Xiaorui. If it were really Li Shaobai, it’s highly probable he wanted to take Chen Xiaorui to the Bai Ai Realm.

Upon receiving the Sound Transmission Talisman, Liu Xiaozhu went to see Mu Tian.

“Send someone to summon Su Yuanyuan.”

The Old Ancestor had once said matters concerning the Demon Mother must have Su Yuanyuan involved.

Su Yuanyuan had been at the Trial Tower for over a month, ready to challenge the array when suddenly someone summoned her.

Stepping out, she saw it was the Steward of the main peak.

“Uncle, the Sect Master requests your presence.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded and went straight to find Liu Xiaozhu.

“Senior Sister Su, Chen Xiaorui has been abducted, and Brother Tan along with Junior Sun have gone to pursue.”

“Their direction leads to the entrance of the Bai Ai Realm. The seated Nascent Soul cultivator there is Li Shaobai.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, “Alright, I understand. I’ll head over now. Can Qi Hao and Qi Xuan come with me?”

“Senior Sister Su, the Old Ancestor is in closed-door cultivation.”

Su Yuanyuan understood Liu Xiaozhu’s implication. She went out and sent a message to her two sons, sincerely worried about their cultivation growing too rapidly.

Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, the two of them could handle it.

Upon receiving their mother’s Sound Transmission Talisman, the two brothers left a message for their master and quickly descended the mountain.

The mother and her two sons met at the sect’s gate and soon boarded the Cloud-piercing Boat.

“Mother, what’s happening?”

“Chen Xiaorui has been abducted. It’s possible there’s an issue within the sect. Your father and Sun Qizheng have pursued, and we’re going to check the sect’s Small Thousand World.”

They really hadn’t been to the Small Thousand World, and the two were naturally willing.

Qi Hao sent a message to his father, informing them they were in pursuit.

The Cloud-piercing Boat’s speed was faster than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but it wasn’t very realistic to catch up as they had left over ten days earlier.

Qi Xuan piloted the flying boat. “Mother, you haven’t been to the Small Thousand World, have you?”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, “No. Previously, your father and elder siblings stayed in the Small Thousand World, but the Spiritual Energy there is rather thin.”

Upon knowing that his mother and brothers were following, Tan Shaoting felt relieved. No matter where they went, as long as the family or couple were together it was fine.

The children were already grown up. The youngest two had both reached Core Formation, truly not needing them to be overly worried anymore.

The duo kept closing in on their target, knowing those in front slowed down two days earlier.

Feeling left in front, Tan Shaoting gave Sun Qizheng an Invisibility Talisman. This way, they wouldn’t be discovered.

“Senior Sister Su is truly remarkable.”
