Sect Leader! Please strengthen our Dao Sect!

"Where does the wind originate?"

Above the boundless sea of ​​qi, Shen Shanshui's illusory soul sought the source of the wind, yet could never see the end.

The flesh and blood had been completely reconstructed, but the wind continued relentlessly. It was thought that the flesh and blood could be reconstructed a second time, but the reconstructed flesh and blood showed no improvement.

"Could it be that this gust of wind really won't stop?"

Shen Shanshui muttered to himself. He had no experience with disasters and had to figure things out on his own every step of the way. This was a major disadvantage for cultivators without the support of a sect.

Looking down at the sea of ​​qi, the surging waves and the vast, deep landscape instilled a sense of fear in people.

After staring at it for only a few breaths, Shen Shanshui's soul felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.

Golden Core and Nascent Soul are physical entities that cultivators can materialize, but I have never heard of a cultivator being able to materialize Qi Sea.

If this boundless ocean could truly be materialized, what a terrifying sight it would be!

Is all of this real?

Shen Shanshui couldn't help but begin to doubt. He suddenly couldn't believe that this mysterious, seemingly endless sea of ​​qi existed within his dantian.

I don't know how long we flew. In this world, time seemed to lose its measure, and my soul gradually felt tired.

Having lived two lives, Shen Shanshui's innate soul was stronger and more solid than that of his peers, making his cultivation easier and contributing to his rapid progress.

This was the first time he had ever felt such exhaustion in his very being.

The frenzied howling continued incessantly, and Shen Shanshui's soul began to grow numb.

Gradually, tracing the source seemed to become an instinct.

"go back!"

Suddenly, a voice like a booming bell came, its imposing presence seemingly devoid of any emotion.

Shen Shanshui's consciousness instantly returned to his sea of ​​consciousness.

At that very moment, he, who was at the bottom of the lake, also lost control of his internal energy.

With a loud bang!

With a loud bang, a column of water shot into the sky from the lake.

Many disciples in the East Building Academy heard the commotion and looked up.

"Who's so bold as to dare to use explosives to fish in the lake where Dongzhu is officiating?"

……

On the island in the middle of the lake, Shen Shanshui descended gracefully, like a banished immortal. His spiritual energy circulated throughout his body, quickly evaporating the moisture from his skin.

The sudden change just now made Shen Shanshui feel his soul shake, as if it were a powerful suppression from a higher level.

The Qi Sea, being the foundation of a cultivator's path to immortality, must hold a great secret!

Shen Shanshui doesn't understand it now, nor does he have the right to understand it.

Fortunately, the wind finally stopped, but Shen Shanshui could still vaguely feel the faint ripples coming from the depths of his Qi Sea. It had only stopped, but it had not disappeared.

"Senior brother!"

While Shen Shanshui was still in a daze, a soft, delicate body snuggled into his arms.

"Senior brother... you've finally emerged from seclusion."

Shen Lingxi hugged her senior brother tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.

Shen Shanshui didn't bother with the girl's blatant groping. Instead, he was delighted that his junior sister's cultivation had improved by another level.

"Seventh level of Qi Refining?"

"Isn't your junior sister amazing? Senior brother, you've been in seclusion for more than half a year, while I've been cultivating diligently, just to give you a surprise."

Shen Lingxi proudly raised her head, waiting for Shen Shanshui to continue praising her.

"Heh... He eats and sleeps all day long. Or he just sits by the lake waiting for you. If this counts as proper cultivation, then all cultivators in the world are ascetics."

Li Dongzhu walked slowly towards them from a distance, while Tang Yan also ran over quickly with an excited expression, revealing his Qi Refining Level 4 aura as if afraid others wouldn't know.

"Mind your own business!"

Having her lie exposed, Shen Lingxi felt frustrated, but she was no match for the woman.

Shen Shanshui put Shen Lingxi down, who was clinging to him like an octopus, without scolding her. He knew his junior sister's personality well and was already used to it.

"Congratulations, Master, on breaking through the barrier."

After half a year of cultivation, Tang Yan not only made a breakthrough in his cultivation level, but he also grew taller and looked much more composed.

"Not bad, Qi Refining Level 4."

In just six months, he has advanced two levels, truly a testament to his exceptional talent.

"Hey, this disciple will certainly live up to Master's expectations and become an immortal in the future... Waaah~"

Tang Yan was seriously planning how to repay his master after becoming an immortal, but Shen Shanshui silenced him with a silencing spell.

There are other people around here?!

Shen Shanshui was exhausted. This disciple truly made his master feel ashamed!

He walked a few steps to Tang Yan.

"Yan'er, let me teach you a lesson: being low-key is the most awesome way to show off."

"I am twenty-two years old this year and am already a Foundation Establishment True Person who is about to break through to the Second Calamity."

Your Uncle Lingxi is about the same age as you, and he has also reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"Are you proud, Master? Are you proud, your Uncle?" Shen Shanshui patted Tang Yan on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Overconfidence turns into arrogance. If we don't give this kid a reality check, he'll really think he's invincible.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for protecting this humble Daoist!"

Shen Shanshui bowed deeply to Li Dongzhu, who was standing to the side.

"No need to thank me, I was just tricked by a bitch."

Li Dongzhu gave a light snort, crossed her arms and turned to the side, refusing to accept the greeting.

Shen Shanshui chuckled; he had probably guessed the reason.

It's normal for conflicts and injuries to occur between cultivators. If Li Dongzhu weren't such a kind-hearted person, and even if she didn't care about Shen Shanshui, what could others say?

It's cruel to say, but both the Celestial Dynasty and the Celestial Sect were waving the banner of justice.

Disciples from these forces do indeed have a higher moral standard than rogue cultivators struggling at the bottom.

Li Dongzhu probably had never seen rogue cultivators fighting to the death for a low-grade spirit stone.

……

The bright moon hangs high, and the lake is shrouded in mist.

In the courtyard of the island in the middle of the lake.

Perhaps because Shen Shanshui had emerged from seclusion, the little girl wanted to make a show of herself, and she actually began to cultivate diligently today.

Tang Yan was also cultivating, but compared to Shen Lingxi, who only practiced sporadically, his cultivation was exceptionally intense.

The Qi Refining Chapter that Shen Shanshui dissected only served as a guide. Tang Yan is now able to incorporate his own understanding, and his cultivation speed is much faster than before.

On the lake outside the courtyard, Li Dongzhu sat cross-legged on the water. The lake water gradually soaked her entire body through her long robe, and the thin layer of water outlined her exquisite and graceful figure.

At this moment, Li Dongzhu was completely immersed in a mysterious state of mind, as if she were to merge with the lake.

It was an extremely peaceful state of mind, yet the constantly rippling water around it seemed to speak of the restraint of that state of mind, as if beneath the calm surface lurked some kind of raging beast.

That's a different kind of artistic conception, filled with sharpness!

Pain gradually appeared on her beautiful face, as if she were struggling.

The surrounding water began to boil, and the previously restrained energy began to involuntarily dissipate outwards.

The lake surface looked as if it had been sliced ​​open by some sharp object.
