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

As Xu Qingman shouted, everyone saw that dark clouds suddenly covered the sky above the highest peak of the Qingshan Sect, and thunder roared, as if the heavens were about to flatten the entire Qingxuan Sect.

Haotian Zhenren exclaimed, "Heavens, is the Ancestor about to undergo tribulation?" He then flew extremely fast toward the Ancestor's cave in Nanshan.

After instructing the siblings not to get too close, Xu Qingman and her husband hurriedly followed. In any case, the Qingxuan Sect had already closed its gates for some time, so they were fine on their own.

They had never seen a powerful being undergo tribulation before, and being able to observe it up close would broaden their horizons.

When the two of them arrived near the cave of the Nanshan Patriarch, a huge thunderclap was heard in the sky. The Nanshan Patriarch had come out of the cave and was sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop to receive the tribulation of lightning.

In an instant, dark clouds gathered rapidly in the sky, forming a calamity cloud, followed by heavenly lightning. The dark and ominous appearance was terrifying.

The tribulation lightning of high-level cultivators was indeed different. The cultivators watching nearby were all terrified and retreated for fear of being accidentally injured by the heavenly lightning.

Immediately, thunderclaps swiftly struck the Old Ancestor of Nanshan, causing the entire earth to tremble.

After the forty-nine bolts of heavenly lightning subsided, the Old Ancestor of Nanshan was covered in blood, his white bones clearly visible, and he lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

Just as everyone was about to go forward to check, they saw that the clouds had dispersed and the thunder had stopped, and the seven-colored glow illuminated the entire Qingxuan Sect, while spiritual mist also spread across the entire mountain peak.

No need to look anymore, this undoubtedly means that the Old Ancestor of Nanshan has successfully advanced.

Everyone quickly sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the rich spiritual energy within the mist. This was a rare opportunity, as it contained not only abundant spiritual energy but also a trace of special energy fed back from the Heavenly Dao.

Even the little stone siblings, who were watching from afar, couldn't help but come closer and start cultivating.

A day later, as the clouds and mist gradually dissipated, the Old Ancestor of Nanshan laughed and leaped down from the mountaintop, standing before everyone.

"Congratulations, Ancestor, on advancing to the Void Realm."

In an instant, the entire Qingxuan Sect echoed with the disciples' congratulatory shouts, and everyone's face showed excitement.

In particular, the sect leader, Master Dongyang, and his fellow disciples, including Master Haotian, were laughing so hard that tears streamed down their faces.

Their Qingxuan Sect now has a Void Ancestor, so they no longer need to worry about the sect's decline.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qingman and her husband were deeply moved. In the Lingchuan Continent, if a sect doesn't even have a single high-level cultivator, its disciples can't even stand up straight when they're out in the world.

Just as they were rejoicing for the Qingxuan Sect, they saw Master Dongyang beckoning to them, signaling them to come over.

The family stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Elder Nanshan, saying, "Congratulations, Senior Nanshan."

"Young friends, you're too kind. I owe my good fortune to your family as well. I must thank you properly."

Upon hearing the old master of Nanshan speak so politely, the couple quickly replied, "We are not worthy of such thanks. We did not mean any harm and would not accept your gratitude."

"Hahaha... You two don't need to be so polite. Although it was unintentional, my Qingxuan Sect has indeed received your kindness. Think about what we can do to help you, and just say the word."

Seeing that the two refused repeatedly, Master Dongyang spoke again. Everyone in their sect knew that their ancestor was so frustrated because he couldn't avenge his son that his cultivation had stagnated for hundreds of years.

Although it was Haotian Zhenren who ultimately killed Yu Yanzong, he wouldn't have had that opportunity if Xu Qingman and her husband hadn't eliminated all the threats around him beforehand.

So, in the end, we have to thank that family; otherwise, the Old Ancestor of Nanshan might not have had the chance to advance.

Xu Qingman and her husband quickly realized that it was only right for them to ask for some compensation.

But Qingxuan Sect is so poor, what good gifts could they possibly offer? They might not even have as many good things as we do.

However, not doing so is not acceptable. Those who cultivate themselves believe in repaying all debts of gratitude and kindness. If one receives a favor from someone but does not repay it, it will surely leave a mental demon, which would be undesirable.

Just as they were wondering what to ask for, the Old Ancestor of Nanshan spoke up, "Young friends, your two little ones at the old Taoist temple should have top-grade spiritual roots, but they have been concealed by magic. Do you need any help?"

Spiritual roots? Yes, although the two children's spiritual roots were concealed by their parents, they would still be easily seen through by high-level cultivators.

However, if a powerful expert at the Void Transformation Realm were to personally take action, then only those with cultivation levels above the Tribulation Transcending Realm could see through it. But such people are generally hard to come by, and they would never leave the mountain unless absolutely necessary.

Yu Jinchen quickly offered a small compliment, "Senior, you truly have discerning eyes; nothing can escape your notice. If you were to take action, my wife and I would be at ease."

"Hahaha…"

The Old Ancestor of Nanshan laughed and pointed at Yu Jinchen, then beckoned the Little Stone siblings over. With a wave of his hand, he took out the jade talisman that had been used to cover up the spiritual root.

When the jade talisman was once again placed into the bodies of the brother and sister by the Old Ancestor of Nanshan, their spiritual roots no longer showed any abnormalities.

The family repeatedly expressed their gratitude, saying, "Thank you, senior."

Xu Qingman and her husband finally put down the stone that had been weighing on their hearts for several years. Ever since they discovered that the brother and sister had spiritual roots, they dared not go near major sects whenever they took the children out, for fear of being seen through.

If you happen to encounter a kind-hearted person, they'll just envy your good fortune.

But if they encounter those with malicious intentions, they are very likely to kill off any promising talents who do not belong to them.

Otherwise, why would such a vast cultivation world never hear of any sect or family that would announce early on that their disciples possess top-grade spiritual roots?

Isn't it because they're worried about being ambushed by someone if they're not careful? You know, there are plenty of people in this world who can't stand to see others do well.

The old master of Nanshan was of great help in this matter. To express their gratitude, the couple took out many good things under the guise of giving congratulatory gifts.

In addition to the two Heavenly Origin Fruits that had been prepared beforehand, some Xuan Iron Stones, two Fire Lotuses, and two two-thousand-year-old Blood Ginsengs were also added.

Seeing that these were all valuable items that his sect desperately needed, Patriarch Nanshan did not refuse. He simply told the Xu family to treat the Qingxuan Sect as their own home and to come over anytime.

If you need any help, please feel free to ask; the entire Qingxuan Sect will never refuse.

Perhaps because a great weight had finally been lifted from her heart, Xu Qingman, who had already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, showed a slight loosening of her cultivation, as if she was about to break through.

The family was originally preparing to leave Qingxuan Sect, but when Master Haotian saw her like this, he earnestly invited her to stay and leave after she had completed her tribulation.

He added that, regardless of the circumstances, undergoing tribulation within the sect would make it less likely to be discovered, thus avoiding trouble caused by making small moves.

After considering it, Xu Qingman and her husband also felt that this was the best option, so they stayed.

A few days later, dark tribulation clouds reappeared above the Qingxuan Sect, and they seemed no less numerous than those of the Nanshan Patriarch, causing everyone in the Qingxuan Sect to look in horror at the temporary cave dwelling of the Xu family couple.
