After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Two and a half months later, outside Sifang City.

"Wow, as expected of a place near a major sect, the spiritual energy here is much richer than in Dragon Hidden City."

"Fellow Daoist, you're from Dragon Hidden City? Is this your first time visiting our Sifang City? Our Sifang City is one of the ten major cities of the Lingchuan Continent, and the concentration of spiritual energy here is definitely incomparable to those small cities."

Just as Meng Rufeng finished sighing, a middle-aged cultivator passing by said these words to him.

Meng Rufeng stammered, "Uh, yes, yes, it's true."

Meng Rufeng secretly wiped away his sweat. Luckily, the man didn't ask him about Dragon Hidden City, or he would have been exposed. No wonder his brother-in-law told him not to talk too much.

Lei Zhen glared at him angrily. This kid was too much of a worry. No wonder his father-in-law told him to keep a close eye on him.

After having a meal and resting briefly at Xu Qingman's courtyard, Lei Zhensheng and his fellow disciple left with their men, saying they would rent a courtyard to settle down first.

As for how they would make a living afterward, the couple didn't ask any further questions; it wasn't something they should worry about.

Xu Qinghe also returned to his sect to hand in his mission.

The family hadn't been able to properly immerse themselves in cultivation for several years. After everyone left, the family resumed their days of taking turns in seclusion for cultivation.

Anyway, they don't lack cultivation resources for the time being, and they certainly don't lack spirit stones, so they don't need to go out often to find ways to earn spirit stones.

Two years later, dark clouds suddenly gathered over the Xu family courtyard, indicating that someone was about to undergo a tribulation.

Perhaps the commotion was too great, as it alerted Xu Qingman and her husband, who were in seclusion for cultivation.

After Xu Qingman was summoned out of the space by Yu Jinchen, she saw the tribulation clouds getting closer and closer to her home. "What's going on? Are the children about to undergo tribulation? I wonder if it's Shuyi or Shuyin."

"Wife, it's Shuyi. But Shuyin seems to be coming soon too. You stay home and take care of Shuyin, I'll accompany Shuyi to the outside of the city to undergo her tribulation."

After hurriedly giving his instructions, Yu Jinchen mounted his flying sword and flew out of the city with his son at an extremely fast speed.

After her husband and son left, Xu Qingman went to check on her daughter. Sure enough, the child's cultivation had reached a critical point, and she could face a tribulation at any moment.

Xu Qingman gestured for Xu Jingheng, who was guarding her, to leave, and then sat cross-legged next to her daughter. She didn't dare to cultivate either, fearing that absorbing too much spiritual energy would affect her child.

Almost two hours later, seeing that Xu Shuyin was absorbing more and more spiritual energy into her body, she gradually began to feel that her spiritual power was not enough.

Seeing this, Xu Qingman quickly took out a handful of top-grade spirit stones and set up a small spirit-gathering array around her.

Unlike her brother, this child doesn't have her own personal space that she can replenish at any time.

She's almost at the critical point. If she doesn't have enough spiritual energy, she might waste this opportunity and not know how long it will be before she gets another chance.

Xu Shutong was just about to give up on this attempt when he suddenly felt the spiritual energy around him become much denser.

Without thinking twice, he immediately continued to absorb spiritual energy into his dantian in the same order as before.

Through repeated compression, she gradually felt that the spiritual energy in her dantian was completely saturated, and the small nascent soul inside her body was gradually growing.

After she could no longer absorb any spiritual energy, Xu Shuyin finally opened her eyes and smiled at her mother who had been by her side all along.

"Wife, has our daughter stopped cultivating? I see tribulation clouds approaching our house in the distance."

"Father, Mother, I should go outside the city to undergo my tribulation."

This wasn't Xu Shuyin's first time facing a tribulation of lightning, and she was no longer as panicked as she had been the first time.

At her husband's prompting, Xu Qingman did not follow the father and daughter. She was already very tired and really needed to rest.

When she closed her eyes, took a nap, and went outside, she saw her son waiting outside. Only then did she realize that she had been waiting in her daughter's room for more than half a year.

During this time, Xu Shuyi wanted to relieve her, but Yu Jinchen stopped her. Xu Shuyin was already close to her limit, and if she were to be disturbed even slightly, all their efforts could be in vain.

"Congratulations, son! A Nascent Soul cultivator at less than thirty years old! I'm so proud of you."

At this moment, Xu Shuyi, who was being held by her mother, blushed with embarrassment and didn't know where to put her hands.

My mother is really something. I'm already so grown up, but she still treats me like a child.

"Mother, Father just sent me a message saying that my sister has successfully overcome her tribulation, but she won't be back for a while."

Xu Qingman nodded knowingly. Her daughter had just survived the tribulation, so her cultivation level was definitely not stable yet. Her father must have wanted her to cultivate for a while to consolidate her cultivation.

Just as I was thinking about these things, I heard Xu Shuyi say, "Mom, Uncle Lei came by just now."

"Lei Zhensheng? Did he say what happened?" Xu Qingman asked after hearing this.

She didn't mention that her son hadn't called her; he meant well, he probably just didn't want to call her because he saw she was too tired.

"Yes, they did. They said there's been a lot of talk about the Sea of ​​No Hope lately, and they're planning to go there to see if there are any opportunities, so they came specifically to ask you and Dad if you're going."

Seeing the eager expression on Xu Shuyi's face, Xu Qingman asked with amusement, "What, you want to go too?"

Xu Shuyi nodded, "Yes, I want to go."

"Let's wait until your father and sister get back before we talk about it. What we need to do now is to find out the truth. We can't just blindly go there whenever we hear there's something interesting going on."

"Mom, actually I had already inquired about Uncle Lei before he came."

"What happened at the Sea of ​​No Hope? Tell me."

After Xu Shuyi explained, Xu Qingman finally understood.

It turns out that an island suddenly rose up in the middle of the Hopeless Sea recently, and as time went by, the island grew bigger and bigger, leading those who saw it to suspect that a new secret realm had appeared.

However, no one has ever been able to reach it yet, mainly because the waters near the island are guarded by several ninth and tenth-tier powerful demons, making it impossible for ordinary people to pass through.

Because of this, people throughout the cultivation world are even more suspicious that a new secret realm is about to emerge there.

Therefore, a few days ago, the powerful figures from several major sects met specifically to discuss the matter of going to the Sea of ​​No Hope.

The final agreement was that each of the five major sects—Nine Yang Sect, Holy Sword Sect, Cloud Shadow Sect, etc.—would send one Transcending Tribulation Ancestor and two Void Realm Ancestors to jointly annihilate the demonic beast.

When the secret realm is fully opened, if other sect cultivators or independent cultivators want to enter the secret realm, they will have to pay a certain amount of spirit stones each, depending on the situation, as payment for the five major sects' extermination of the demon beasts.

The exact number of spirit stones required has not yet been finalized, but it should be determined in the next few days.

After Xu Shuyi finished speaking, Xu Qingman nodded, "Okay, let's discuss it when your sister returns from her tribulation."

Xu Shuyi pouted. Her mother was being so fake, daring to "discuss" things. In their family, her mother always made the decisions, big or small; her father never disagreed with her.
