I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Since ancient times, the morality of the cultivation world has been very simple. Apart from the most basic concept of good and evil, it is "family members should cover for each other".

Of all these, the greatest is the "hatred of killing one's father".

When Mingkun attacked Master Rongjing, in the eyes of him and his close associates, it was not revenge, but "a son avenging his father," which was perfectly justified!

Conversely, if this cultivator does not retaliate... he will be considered unfilial by his fellow practitioners.

That day, when Venerable Rongjing approached him to inquire about his situation in the Holy Emperor Domain, it was understandable, but... in this cultivator's eyes, it was probably no less than a direct provocation, and he would definitely be punished!
From this perspective, the fact that this cultivator injured Master Rongjing shows a far deeper level of cunning than that of killing Master Rongjing in public.

The former further demonstrates the rationality of this practice.

"But similarly, for me—regardless of whether Ming Kun has had this experience or not, as long as I know he is the only son of Master Tianyan…if I have the opportunity in the future, I will not let him go easily!"

Wei Tu's eyes turned slightly cold as he thought to himself.

……

"Brother Ming, what's wrong?"

Meanwhile, in a luxurious cave dwelling within the Golden Yue Immortal City, Ming Kun, who was sitting in a suspended pavilion gazing at the female cultivators dancing gracefully on the jade platform in the distance, also paused slightly, as if on a whim.

With this slight distraction, the fine wine in his cup spilled onto his clothes.

One of his companions, dressed in fine clothes and wearing a jade crown, looked at this and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Although He Mingqian recently reprimanded us, forbidding us from freely entering or leaving Jinyue Immortal City until the troubles have subsided..."

“But we are now his peers, and we no longer need to obey his orders. Besides, even if he doesn't give us face, what can he do to us? His grandmaster... is a clan uncle of our Lu family..."

He said with a slight sneer.

Although the ancient sage families did not have any particularly outstanding individuals among the human race in terms of hard power, their rich foundation in intermarriage and mentorship relationships within the human race made them, in effect, "second-generation rich kids" that no one dared to provoke.

Because every powerful human being has an inseparable and unbreakable relationship with them.

As long as the mistakes they make don't reach the highest levels of public attention, no one will truly bring them to justice.

To put it bluntly, they are the "masters" and rulers of the human race in the spirit world, and the rules and laws used to bind the lower-level cultivators are the weapons in their hands.

Weapons will not be used to retaliate against or settle scores with one's own people.

Therefore—in the eyes of this cultivator surnamed Lü, Ming Kun seemed to be too concerned about the matter of seriously injuring Master Rongjing, and appeared somewhat anxious and indecisive.

“That’s not it.” Ming Kun shook his head slightly, his eyes narrowed as if gazing into the distance. “Don’t even mention one He Mingqian, even ten wouldn’t bother me. What I truly fear is Wei Tu…”

Mingkun directly confronted Mingdao.

The disappearance of Wei Tu and the punishment of his biological father, Tianyan Shangren, were taboo secrets among the human race. However, after the incident, this small group of people at the top of the human race naturally learned about the specific details of the matter through their deep personal connections.

"Ha! Let's not even talk about whether this cultivator possesses the inheritance of the Mysterious Spirit Fairy; that's just speculation. Even if it truly does... with our current cultivation levels, do we really need to be afraid?"

The monk surnamed Lu smiled sarcastically, seemingly unconcerned.

For small clans and independent cultivators, the Mahayana inheritance is an extremely precious thing, but for cultivators from "ancient saint families," the allure of the Mahayana inheritance is far less.

Because each of their "ancestors" was a Mahayana cultivator who had established illustrious achievements in the history of the human race in the spirit world.

Of course, those who receive the cultivation of Mahayana resources have a better future than ancient sage family cultivators who only possess cultivation techniques...

But it was precisely because of his familiarity with history that the monk surnamed Lu was not impressed by Wei Tu.

While Mahayana disciples are not uncommon in the history of the human race in the spirit realm, very few can inherit their master's abilities and break through to the Mahayana realm—only one in a hundred.

In other words, a fellow cultivator who, according to historical inertia, has at most reached the "peak of the Integration Stage," is not enough to make them afraid or uneasy.

"But Wei Tu is the first Mahayana successor to disappear without a trace while being pursued by a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Even so... such cultivators are not uncommon in the Spirit Realm; the recent Refinement Void Lesser Divine Lord is one example..."

Mingkun sighed softly and replied.

"The reason I didn't kill that Rongjing Venerable was not only because I didn't want to cause any deaths in Jinyue Immortal City, but also because I had a sudden idea to lure Wei Tu out of his hole and then kill him in advance."

"However, this method is somewhat wishful thinking. This Master Rongjing only has a distant kinship with Wei Tu. Whether Wei Tu has even met him is still unknown..."

Mingkun paused for a moment, then continued.

"A minor deity in the Void Refinement Realm? How can Wei Tu compare to that person?" Upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed Lu frowned and subconsciously retorted.

Although the 'Minor Divine Lord of Refining Void' was only at the Refining Void realm, a whole realm below him, the Lü surname cultivator was self-aware and understood that the man's potential and aptitude were far beyond his reach.

Even with his level of cultivation, he knew it would be difficult to escape unscathed from a combined attack.

As for Wei Tu... he only thought of him as a "human descendant" who was lucky enough to obtain the Mahayana inheritance!
The two are far from being comparable.

"It's just an example." Ming Kun waved his hand with a smile, clearly not believing that Wei Tu was capable of comparing himself to the 'Little Divine Lord of Refining Void' who had made a name for himself in the Spirit Realm.

“Wei Tu’s current cultivation level is far weaker than ours. Even though he has received Mahayana resources for cultivation, neither of us is standing still… Once we obtain the opportunities within the Dinghai Immortal Ruins, the two of us should have a chance to reach the mid-stage of the Integration Realm…”

"At that time, even if he were a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss, the two of us could still bring him back down!"

The cultivator surnamed Lu spoke calmly, his face revealing strong confidence.

"Indeed, he's just a mere Mahayana disciple."

Ming Kun nodded slightly, suppressing the slight unease that had just welled up inside him.

……

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Wei Tu, who was meditating in seclusion in his cave, finally sensed a slight disturbance in the Immortal Ruins Token inside his storage bag.

"The Immortal Ruins of Dinghai are about to open."

Wei Tu flipped his palm, and a palm-sized, rhomboid token, its surface covered with mysterious runes, immediately appeared in his palm.

As the spatial barrier of the storage artifact disappeared.

The anomalies emanating from within the Immortal Ruins Token became increasingly apparent. It shone brightly, and its surface was covered with dense, constantly shifting, pale golden, mysterious runes.

As these mysterious runes flickered, the surrounding space seemed to respond in kind.

A moment later, the token split in two, revealing a deep and mysterious spatial portal hidden within.

"The Immortal Ruins Token truly lives up to its name. This token is indeed quite different from ordinary magic artifacts..." Wei Tu murmured to himself with delight.

Even though he already knew that as long as he was in the Divine Wilderness, the Immortal Ruins Token would automatically open, revealing a spatial gate that led directly to the "Sea-Stabilizing Immortal Ruins".

But... when you actually see it, it's a completely different feeling.

As a formation master, Wei Tu knew all too well how difficult it was to create such a large-scale, random, real-time teleportation array.

It is a legendary formation that can only be created by the power of immortals.

It was precisely for this reason that when the "Dinghai Immortal Ruins" appeared in the Divine Wilderness—although its resources were not worth the covetousness of Mahayana powerhouses, it was still given the name "Immortal Ruins" by a group of powerful beings…and became the last of the twelve Immortal Ruins in the Divine Wilderness!
Immortal Ruins, as the name suggests, are the ruins left behind by immortals.

It is also the name given by those who have transcended tribulation and reached the Mahayana stage to the highest level of secret realm in the spirit world.

"Snow Fairy, it's time." Wei Tu suppressed his excitement, flicked his sleeves, blasted open the door of the secluded cultivation room, and flew straight towards the room where Xue Qiongyu was.

He sent out his divine sense, waiting for Xue Qiongyu to come out.

Xue Qiongyu's room was also protected by a protective barrier.

Although this restriction was insignificant to him, as long as Xue Qiongyu did not completely break the "spiritual restriction" he had placed in her body, he had no reason to spy on her.

However—when the woman gracefully walked out of the room, Wei Tu couldn't help but be stunned.

What stunned him was not the woman's stunning beauty.

Rather, it was the dissipated primordial yin energy emanating from this woman, and the subtle allure that inadvertently shone between her brows.

"This woman's virginity has been broken?" Wei Tu was astonished. He never expected that Xue Qiongyu would be so determined to lose her virginity in order to avoid future troubles.

It should be understood that maintaining one's "original yang" and "original yin" is of great benefit to cultivation for both male and female cultivators. Unless they are deeply in love or lose their virginity at a young age, no one in the cultivation world would easily break their "original yang" and "original yin" and regret it later in life.

Of course, Wei Tu also knew that Xue Qiongyu had no choice but to lose her virginity. After all, if it were discovered that she had left him as a virgin, there would be endless troubles, and it would also implicate the entire Xueying Clan...

But he didn't mind... This woman, like Su Xin Shangren, proposed to make a deal with him.

If he could obtain the help of this woman's primordial yin energy, his cultivation level would at least rise by one or two levels.

"It doesn't matter, this gain or loss is not important." Wei Tu shook his head secretly.

At the Refinement of Void Realm, his current strength is primarily based on the "Rules and Laws Domain," with his cultivation level as a secondary factor. Moreover, after opening his own cave heaven, his total magical power is no less than that of an ordinary peak Refinement of Void Realm cultivator.

Therefore, whether or not his cultivation level improves is not that important to his current strength.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would have already offered to make a deal during the more than ten years he had abducted Xue Qiongyu.

"But... this woman's disguise is rather clumsy. She doesn't seem like a female cultivator who has undergone Yin-Yang dual cultivation and had her primordial Yin drained at all." Wei Tu raised an eyebrow and thought to himself.

He had exceptional insight and could see that Xue Qiongyu's alluring demeanor was deliberate, not natural.

"If Fairy Snow wants to conceal it more perfectly, hmm... I happen to have a secret manual here that I copied from someone else."

Wei Tu pondered for a moment and decided to do a good deed, after all, this woman had helped him in the Xue family's affairs. He rummaged through his storage bag for a while, took out several jade slips, and handed them to Xue Qiongyu.

These jade slips are none other than the Ruyi Pavilion in the "Guixu Sea" of the human realm, containing methods for training "prostitute cultivators" and cultivating their seductive skills.

These things aren't particularly valuable.

But since Xue Qiongyu was born into such an extraordinary family, without any special destiny, she would never have come into contact with these dark side beings in her entire life.

"A secret manual?" Upon hearing this, Xue Qiongyu was taken aback at first, but after probing its contents with her divine sense, a strange look quickly appeared on her pretty face.

"Is this Wei Tu the seasoned womanizer Granny Tu was talking about?"

she thought to herself.

Granny Tu once said that her disguise was so convincing that no one except those experienced women could tell that she had broken her virginity herself, rather than having intercourse with someone else.

However, the moment Wei Tu met her, he gifted her these secret manuals on cultivating allure... and she naturally categorized Wei Tu as such.

"Fortunately, I didn't sell myself and give my virginity to Wei Tu..." Xue Qiongyu secretly rejoiced.

Previously, both Granny Tu and she wanted to hand over the "Primordial Yin" to Wei Tu because they felt that Wei Tu had a bright future and immeasurable potential. There was a considerable chance that he would become a late-stage Integration Realm being, or even higher.

But this is on the premise that Wei Tu can be her Daoist partner.

Rather than just a fleeting moment of pleasure.

"Thank you for this item, Fellow Daoist Wei. I will make good use of it..." Xue Qiongyu curtsied and expressed her gratitude.

However, Wei Tu vaguely sensed a hint of aloofness hidden within the woman at this moment.

His eyes flashed, and he immediately understood Xue Qiongyu's thoughts.

This woman's positive perception of him has shattered considerably.

In the cultivation world, the strong are respected. His abduction of Xue Qiongyu and his successful escape from the Xueying Clan are not a source of shame or hatred for this woman; on the contrary, they will become a factor in her admiration for his strength.

But as the "dream shattered"—after realizing that he could never have come alone—he naturally "calmed down."

However, Wei Tu didn't care about this. He took out the secret manual of Ruyi Tower and gave it to the woman. He didn't have many thoughts about it. It was just a casual thing to do, and he remembered the woman's previous friendship with him.

After entering the "Dinghai Immortal Ruins", the blood pact was broken, and the woman had no further connection with him.

"There's no time to lose, Fairy Snow, we should go to the Sea of ​​Immortals." Wei Tu urged, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

However… Xue Qiongyu hesitated slightly upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, could you allow me to master this Ruyi Pavilion's secret manual before entering the Dinghai Immortal Ruins...?"

Xue Qiongyu pursed her lips and pleaded.

The loss of her "original yin" is crucial to her future survival in the spirit world. She doesn't want to waste her life and bring disaster to the Snow Infant Clan before she has achieved her goal.

"Five days at most."

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu frowned, estimated a suitable time, and replied.

According to his estimate, the "spatial portal" opened by the Immortal Ruins Token can exist for about a month.

However, since the Immortal Ruins of Dinghai is an extremely precious secret realm, the sooner he enters, the more benefits he will receive.

Can I squeeze out five days...

He has done a pretty good job with this woman.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei." Upon hearing this, Xue Qiongyu's eyebrows lit up with joy, and she quickly bowed to Wei Tu to express her gratitude.

The slight resentment she harbored towards Wei Tu dissipated considerably. (End of Chapter)
