Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

After returning from stargazing, Qin Le and Chen Yun first found a place to have lunch, and then prepared to pick up their phones to ask in their lunch buddy group who was free to get together.

Before either of their phones were unlocked, they both rang with a "ding" sound almost simultaneously.

Upon opening the message, it was revealed that Chu Xiaonan had tagged Qin Le in the group chat.

Chu Xiaonan: Qin Le, are you free?! Could you come to my house right away?! It's a matter of life and death!!!

This was followed by a series of anxious and frustrated emojis.

Upon seeing the message, Qin Le and Chen Yun exchanged a glance, both somewhat bewildered. However, Qin Le reacted quickly, his fingers flying across the screen.

Qin Le: I'll be there soon.

After replying to the message, he grabbed Chen Yun's shoulder, a thought flashing through his mind.

The space rippled like water, and in the next instant, the two appeared above Chu Xiaonan's courtyard.

However, the scene before them stunned them both.

The Jade Emperor's avatar, who usually handles official business at the Alliance headquarters, suddenly appeared in Chu Xiaonan's courtyard.

Besides the Jade Emperor, there was also Chu Xiaonan, who looked anxious, and a couple who appeared to be in their early twenties and had outstanding demeanor—presumably Chu Xiaonan's parents.

The most eye-catching figure is the girl floating in mid-air above the courtyard—Chu Xiaonan's younger sister, Chu Anran.

This girl, around fourteen or fifteen years old, had strikingly long rainbow-colored hair. At this moment, her eyes were closed, and she floated in the air, surrounded by dreamlike, iridescent clouds.

And between her eyebrows, a pure white mark was radiating a terrifying aura of heavenly power!

The Jade Emperor's avatar looked solemn, his hands pressing down, a continuous stream of gentle power surging out, trying his best to suppress the Heavenly Dao mark that seemed to want to break out of his body.

Qin Le and Chen Yun both met Chu Anran during the New Year. At that time, they only thought her rainbow-colored hair was very special and assumed it was the effect of the hair coloring pill developed by Lin Wanrou.

It now appears that the situation is far more complicated than they had imagined.

"Qin Le!" Chu Xiaonan cried out as soon as she saw Qin Le, her voice trembling as if she had grasped at a straw, "Quick! Quick, save my sister!"

"Xiao Nan, don't panic, calm down." Qin Le landed and pressed down on Chu Xiao Nan's shoulder, trying to calm him down: "You have to tell me exactly what happened first, otherwise I won't know where to start."

"I...this..."

Chu Xiaonan was extremely anxious at this moment, her mind was a complete mess, and she opened her mouth but couldn't even form a complete sentence.

"Let me explain," the Jade Emperor's avatar said, turning to look at Qin Le in a steady voice.

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty." Qin Le nodded slightly.

It's impossible to expect Chu Xiaonan to explain things clearly now, and his parents are still in shock. Only the Jade Emperor can provide a clear explanation at this point.

While maintaining his suppression of the mark, the Jade Emperor spoke: "This little girl... is the reincarnation of a 'spiritual being of heaven and earth'."

"A reincarnation of a divine being?!"

Qin Le and Chen Yun gasped simultaneously, their faces filled with shock. They never imagined that Chu Xiaonan's younger sister had such an astonishing background.

After the initial shock, Qin Le quickly calmed down and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, as a reincarnation of a divine being, you should be blessed by Heaven. Why... have things turned out like this?"

He was no stranger to the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, and knew that such beings were favored by the heavens. Even if they were reincarnated as humans, their blessings should be extremely profound. The situation before him did not seem to be like that.

"Your thinking is correct, but the current situation can be described as 'misfortune and fortune are intertwined.'" The Jade Emperor's clone frowned slightly, seemingly also having a headache.

"Please explain in detail, Your Majesty."

"This little girl is currently passively receiving the 'Heavenly Dao Initiation,'" the Jade Emperor explained. "This is an unparalleled opportunity, signifying that the Heavenly Dao recognizes her human form in this life and wishes to bestow upon her the 'spiritual essence' from her previous life, along with a portion of the Heavenly Dao's authority. However…"

He paused, looking at Chu Anran in the air, her brows furrowed and her breath unsteady. "Her cultivation is currently too shallow to withstand such a massive gift from Heaven. If left unattended, the day the empowerment is completed will be the day her physical body collapses and her spirit returns to its 'spiritual object of heaven and earth' form."

Simply put, if the opportunity is too great and the body is too fragile to handle it, it could be fatal.

"I see..." Qin Le finally understood. "Then what exactly should I do?"

Although he understood the root of the problem, he had no idea how to provide specific treatment.

Even the Jade Emperor's avatar could only barely suppress it and could not completely resolve the issue. With his current strength, it would probably be even more difficult for him to intervene directly.

"This matter requires the intervention of the Goddess Nuwa," the Jade Emperor's avatar said solemnly.

He instructed Chu Xiaonan to contact Qin Le urgently, not because he believed Qin Le himself was capable of resolving the issue, but because he valued the being within Qin Le's sea of ​​consciousness—only a sage could handle this thorny problem involving the origin of the Heavenly Dao and the balance of the human body gently and thoroughly.

Although the Jade Emperor himself or other powerful beings at the Quasi-Saint level could also do it, they are currently guarding the front lines of the Heavenly Realm and are unable to spare the time.

Qin Le nodded, understanding, and said, "I understand, I'll do it now..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.

Qin Le raised his right hand, and several strands of strange chains, as thin as hair yet emitting a faint golden glow, silently wrapped around his fingertips.

The chains shone with a restrained brilliance, yet the level of power they contained subtly surpassed the overwhelming pressure of the Heavenly Dao that everyone present could perceive.

"It seems that Goddess Nuwa has already sensed what is happening here." Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor's avatar revealed a relaxed smile.

"After all, once you're reincarnated as a human, you're under the Empress's jurisdiction," Qin Le joked, easing the tense atmosphere.

Without further hesitation, he stepped forward to the suspended Chu Anran, extended his right index finger, which was wrapped in golden light chains, and gently touched the pure white mark between the girl's eyebrows that was fluctuating violently and trying to resist suppression.

The instant fingertip touches the mark—

hum!

The golden chain seemed to have a life of its own, instantly detaching from Qin Le's fingers and swiftly and precisely wrapping around the Heavenly Dao Mark!

The pure white mark, wrapped in golden chains, suddenly lost its luster, and the struggling fluctuations came to an abrupt end.

In the blink of an eye, the mark was completely locked by the golden chain, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the depths of Chu Anran's brow.

At the same time, the colorful clouds surrounding Chu Anran seemed to lose their source, slowly receding and disappearing into her body.

Her suspended body lost its support and slowly fell downwards.

"safely!"

Chu Xiaonan's parents exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to carefully catch their daughter and hold her in their arms.

Feeling their daughter's steady breathing and gradually returning to normal complexion, the couple exchanged a glance, and finally revealed smiles of relief and joy at surviving a disaster.

Seeing this, the Jade Emperor's avatar withdrew his divine power and smiled, "Now that this matter is settled, I should return to attend to my official duties."

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty!" Chu's parents quickly hugged their daughter, bowed deeply, and expressed their gratitude.

"No need for formalities, I didn't do much."

The Jade Emperor's avatar waved his hand, and his figure slowly dissipated into the air like a bubble, leaving the courtyard.

Holding his daughter, who was still unconscious but whose breathing had stabilized, Chu's father turned to Qin Le and said solemnly, "Qin Le, this time... we really owe you a great debt! Words cannot express our gratitude, but our Chu family will remember this kindness!"

Chu's mother nodded repeatedly, her eyes slightly red: "Yes, if you hadn't arrived in time and asked Goddess Nuwa to intervene, I really don't know what would have happened to Anran."

"Uncle and Aunt, you're too kind," Qin Le quickly waved his hand, his tone relaxed, "Xiao Nan and I are good brothers, his business is my business, it's only right."

Father Chu chuckled, patted Chu Xiaonan, who was still somewhat dazed, on the shoulder, and said to Qin Le, "Even close brothers keep clear accounts! Let this kid repay this favor slowly! In the future, if you need anything, just ask him for help, don't hesitate!"

Chu Xiaonan finally snapped out of her daze, staring wide-eyed at her father: "Dad?! You've just 'sold' me to pay off your debts?!"

"What? You're not happy?" Chu's mother glanced at him, her eyes filled with threat.

Chu Xiaonan glanced at her parents, then at Qin Le and Chen Yun, who were all smiles, and finally slumped her shoulders, muttering resignedly, "...I'm happy, I'm more than happy."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Chu Xiaonan's aggrieved expression, as if she had been tricked by her own parents, Qin Le and Chen Yun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As they laughed, they exchanged a glance, a subtle look of shared misfortune flashing in their eyes—it seems that no matter whose family it is, tricking one's son is a universal skill that parents learn without being taught.
