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

"Jinchen, Manman, why haven't the children returned yet? They've been gone for almost a hundred years, haven't they?"

While saying almost a hundred years is a bit of an exaggeration, the four siblings have indeed been away for over sixty years, which explains why their elders are increasingly concerned about them.

Xu Qingman looked at her father, who had finally advanced to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and said, "Father, you don't need to worry about them. If my estimate is correct, Shuyi and the other siblings will definitely be back in six months at most."

Yu Jinchen also smiled and reassured him, "Father, don't worry. Manman and I contact them every few years. The opening time of the Yunjing Mountain Secret Realm is coming soon, and they won't forget."

Xu Jingheng nodded. His children had been traveling for many years and had not returned. He was not too worried about their safety, but he just missed them a little because they hadn't seen them for so long.

"Jinchen, Manman, how about you take your father with you when you go into the secret realm this time? I promise I won't hold you back."

Seeing that her father had been rambling on for a long time, only to say this, Xu Qingman and her husband were somewhat helpless.

It wasn't that they thought their father was in the way and didn't want to take him along, but rather that Xu Qingyao's mother, Xu Meifen, had accidentally found out about what happened last time.

After the initial shock, Xu Meifen forbade her youngest daughter from going out freely. Even Xu Jingheng suffered an undeserved misfortune, and was forbidden from traveling far before reaching the stage of spiritual transformation, which was seen as a burden to his daughter and son-in-law.

In Xu Meifen's view, becoming an immortal was too far removed from anything else; the safety of her family was the most important thing.

She felt she should be content with what she had, having lived for almost three hundred years and enjoyed all the good food and fun things in life; there was no need to ask for anything more.

As for Xu Qinghe, her son, not only is there no need to worry about him since he has already reached the Integration Stage, but even if he didn't, Xu Meifen wouldn't be able to control him.

"Dad, as long as Mom agrees to let you come with us, we have no objections."

With a casual remark, Xu Qingman pushed the problem back to her father.

She'll handle things herself; she doesn't want to upset her mother.

Seeing that his daughter didn't want to help him, Xu Jingheng had no choice but to go back to his room and pester his wife.

However, no matter how much Xu Jingheng pleaded, Xu Meifen refused to budge, because Xu Qingman told her that this time when they entered the Yun Jing Mountain Secret Realm, they planned to explore that sea area.

Xu Meifen, though she had never been to the sea area in the Yunjingshan Secret Realm, could tell from the extremely serious expressions on her children's faces when they talked about it how dangerous it was.

Xu Qingman didn't really want to bring her father this time, and now that her mother disagreed, she had even more reason to refuse.

"Father, this time we're going to go to the sea. It's said that the environment there is harsh and there are many high-level demonic beasts."

If we were on land, it would be fine; with Jinchen and me there, we could always protect you. But at sea, we're not so sure we can hold out much longer.

"Here's what we'll do. After we come out of the secret realm, I'll have Shuyi and her brother stay home, while Jinchen and I will take you, Mother, and Grandfather out for a walk. We'll also go out and gain some experience."

Seeing her father's extreme disappointment, and considering that he had been confined at home for over a hundred years, Xu Qingman couldn't bear it any longer.

"Really? Manman? Then I'll tell your mother and the others."

Upon hearing that he could go out, Xu Jingheng instantly became happy, and after saying that, he went back to the small courtyard where he lived with his parents.

Actually, he didn't necessarily want to explore the secret realm; it's just that he hadn't left the house for over a hundred years since moving here.

Staying indoors for over a hundred years would be unbearable even for the most quiet person, let alone someone like Xu Jingheng who spent years doing business before cultivating immortality.

With only three months left before the opening of the Yunjingshan Secret Realm, the four siblings of Xu Shuyi, who had been away from home for more than sixty years, finally returned to Xu Qingman and her husband after much anticipation.

"Dad, Mom, we're back! Did you miss us?"

As soon as they entered the house, the youngest son, Xu Shuyang, gave his mother a big hug with a big smile.

"We don't want to. What's there to want? It's so nice that you're not home. Your mother and I can enjoy some alone time every day."

"Oh, you mean, 'just the two of us'? Dad, you and Mom have been enjoying just the two of us for over sixty years, haven't you had enough yet?"

Hearing her father complain about her and her siblings, Xu Shuyin couldn't help but tease him.

Only Xu Shunu smiled and looked at his mother, repeatedly asking her if she had noticed any changes in her.

Unable to resist her son's persistent pestering, Xu Qingman finally spoke up and praised, "Oh, my son is already a Nascent Soul cultivator? Not bad, not bad, he hasn't been lazy all these years."

Even though he's almost 160 years old, Xu Shunu was still a little embarrassed by his mother's praise.

"Hehehe, it's just so-so. Shuyang also advanced to the Fusion Stage last month. If we hadn't been waiting for him, we wouldn't have come back until now."

The four siblings gained a lot from this trip. They not only obtained a lot of excellent cultivation resources, but each of them also made great progress in their cultivation.

Xu Shunu and Xu Shuyang advanced to the early stage of the Integration Realm, while Xu Shuyi and Xu Shuyin progressed even more rapidly, surpassing their parents, Xu Qingman and her husband, and becoming high-level cultivators in the late stage of the Void Realm.

Xu Qingman discovered that Xu Shuyi's cultivation was already very stable and had reached the peak of the late stage. He only needed one opportunity to face the tribulation of the tribulation stage.

Although the children didn't say anything, Xu Qingman and her parents could tell that their children must have suffered a lot and encountered many dangers over the years.

From then on, with the addition of Xu Qinghe, who was at the early stage of the Integration Realm, the Xu family now had four Void Transformation Realm experts, three Integration Realm experts, three Nascent Soul Realm experts, three Deity Transformation Realm experts, as well as more than one hundred Nascent Soul Realm experts and two to three hundred Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

In just over a hundred years since they settled in Linchuan City, Xu Qingman and her husband have built their family into such a force that other families would be astonished.

It should be understood that in the Lingchuan Continent, no matter which family wants to develop to this level, it would take one or two thousand years without the support of a major sect.

For this reason, Xu Qingman and her husband repeatedly warned everyone in the family not to spread any family matters, otherwise they would be punished by having their cultivation abolished and being expelled from the Xu family.

It wasn't that the two of them were cowardly, but rather that there was no need to attract too much attention. To survive in the cultivation world for a long time, one must always remember the saying, "The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind."

After a brief reunion, Xu Qingman and her husband, along with more than 30 members of the Xu family, left Linchuan City, preparing to embark on another journey to the secret realm of Yunjing Mountain.

Since they already had two Void Realm cultivators on the surface, plus the Nanshan Patriarch of the Qingxuan Sect who was in the late Void Realm, they decided after discussion that they would not go to Ning'an City this time, but instead travel by flying boat to the Yunjing Mountain Range.

Since they had obtained another token last time, and the only people from Blue Star who were going to the secret realm were Ancestor Lei Ling and his wife Lei Zhensheng.

After discussing it, the couple decided to give Qingxuan Sect six spots again this time.

However, this time it was no longer free. At the strong insistence of the Old Ancestor of Nanshan, Xu Qingman and her husband still accepted 10,000 high-grade spirit stones from them.
