The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Back at Maple Garden, Shen Yao finally remembered her business. She had been holding the Spirit Awakening Seal for seven days but hadn't gone inside yet.

Having learned from past experience, Shen Yao lay on the fire spirit stone bed, and after Huo Die set up the restrictions, Shen Yao slapped the Spirit Awakening Seal onto her soul core...

Seven-colored light flowed, and the phantoms of ten spirit beasts flew into the Spirit Awakening Seal.

Shen Yao's clay sculpture quickly became an empty shell.

Feng Yu turned pale with fright, and Huo Die comforted him with his hands behind his back: "Don't panic, don't panic, you'll be out in a bit."

Feng Yu was still panicking. He touched Shen Yao's cold hands, held her empty shell in his arms, and tried to use his body heat to bring her back to life as soon as possible.

This time, the space of the Spirit Awakening Seal was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Only a series of sound waves reached Shen Yao's mind.

"Boom... Buzz..."

"Thump...thump..."

"bite………………"

These sound waves started out gentle, but then became increasingly frenzied, with the frequency increasing rapidly...

"Boom!"

The sound waves abruptly stopped, and the entire space fell silent.

The silence lasted for a long time. Shen Yao felt as if she had returned to the space before she transmigrated, where the sect leader had hidden her soul.

Shen Yao tried to call out, but no sound came out.

Time passed little by little...

The clay sculpture had grown cold. Feng Yu kept rubbing the body she was holding in her arms and anxiously asked Huo Die, "It's been half an hour, why hasn't Yanzhou come out yet?"

Huo Die thought back for a moment, and realized that the previous two times hadn't taken this long: "This time it's a bit longer, let's wait a little longer."

Shen Yao felt that she had been trapped in this Spirit Awakening Seal for a very, very long time, as if it had been several years.

Here, apart from the sound waves that come from time to time, there is nothing and nothing can be seen.

This feeling was painful, plunging her into endless confusion and emptiness.

Finally, a different sound came, like the sound of a xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument).

The melodious sound of the xun, ancient and ethereal, gradually calmed Shen Yao's mind as the sound drew closer...

This sense of peace didn't last long before Shen Yao felt a stinging pain in her spiritual body.

Every inch of the spiritual vein felt as if it were being torn apart and twisted by something...

"Ah..." Shen Yao screamed in her heart in pain, but no sound came out of her throat.

It really hurts...

The sound of the xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument) was so close to her ears that the pain in Shen Yao's spirit body grew stronger and stronger.

The spiritual veins seemed to be torn apart inch by inch, and then hammered and stitched back together.

Again and again... torturing her to the extreme...

Huo Die held the Spirit Awakening Seal and examined it over and over for a long time, but he really couldn't see anything that was different from the previous two.

Why has it taken so long?

Huo Die sighed, his brows furrowed, and he gripped the Spirit Awakening Seal tightly in his hand.

Hearing Huo Die sigh, Feng Yu's hands, which were kneading the body in his arms, began to tremble: "Father... is Yanzhou...?"

It's been three hours already. Is Yanzhou not going to come back?

Huo Die formed a hand seal, attempting to draw a wisp of divine sense into the area, but was repelled by the Spirit Awakening Seal.

An old, solemn voice came from inside: "If you want her soul to be scattered, you may come in."

Time passed, I don't know how much, but the sound of the xun finally stopped.

Shen Yao felt that her spirit body had no energy left, and she collapsed helplessly in the dark space.

The sound of a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) began to play...

Shen Yao felt a sense of despair: "It's over, it's happening again..."

The imagined pain did not come.

The sound of the zither reached her ears, and she felt her withered spirit slowly revive, and her broken spiritual veins gradually grow back.

The gentle music made her feel as if she were bathed in a spring breeze.

She suddenly felt incredibly open-minded. Everything from the past flowed by like water, vanishing like a dream, taking away all her negative emotions.

Finally, a glimmer of color appeared in the dark space.

It was a ball of light, light blue.

Shen Yao knew that she was alive because this ball of light must be the soul core of some immortal venerable.

An aged voice came from the ball of light: "Your soul has been corrupted by malevolent energy, but I have cleansed it of its evil influence."

Shen Yao bowed and kowtowed in the darkness: "Shen Yao, a disciple of the Spirit Herb Sect, thanks you for your great kindness, senior."

"This disciple has come under the guidance of the Magnificent Immortal. May I ask, senior, which immortal venerable are you?"

An aged voice responded to her: "I am the direct disciple of the true god, the Immortal Venerable of Wonderful Sound, Gu Ling."

Shen Yao: "Junior thanks Immortal Venerable Miaoyin."

Gu Ling: "Yes, the inheritance I'm giving you includes a divine-level mind-clearing technique. You need to practice it daily to prevent your inner demons from recurring."

Shen Yao: "This junior obeys."

Gu Ling: "Refine me."

……

When Shen Yao came out, it was already dark.

When she came out, she saw Feng Yu looking down at her face, breathing on his hands and rubbing her body.

She buried herself in the body and woke up in Feng Yu's arms.

Her cold body gradually warmed up, and Feng Yu held her tightly, refusing to let go.

Feng Yu's voice was filled with lingering fear: "Yanzhou, you're finally awake! Yanzhou."

Shen Yao: "Um, where's my dad?"

"Hmph!" Huo Die sneered, "You only have eyes for your lover, where is your father?"

It turned out her father was sitting at the table; she hadn't even noticed.

Huo Die stood up: "What kind of inheritance did you all receive?"

Shen Yao tried to get up to answer, but Feng Yu held her tightly, preventing her from doing so.

She could only lie in his arms and say, "I obtained the Divine-level Mind Cleansing Technique, the Divine-level Sound Domain, the Soul Core, the Water Core, and the Wonderful Sound Immortal Venerable also helped me remove my malevolent energy and eliminate my inner demons."

Hearing that her anger and inner demons had been dispelled, Feng Yu and Huo Die were both deeply gratified.

Huo Die: "It's good to be free from inner demons! If you're free from inner demons, you won't become too deeply entrenched in demonic possession and die from severed spiritual veins."

Shen Yao was shocked: "Huh? Are the consequences of becoming a demon really that serious? Father, why didn't you tell me before?"

Huo Die: "Would it have made a difference if I said it? Would your hostility have disappeared just because I said it?"

Indeed, talking is not enough.

Huo Die: "If I tell you, you might scare yourself sick and become even more aggressive!"

That makes sense.

Shen Yao: "Father is so thoughtful. Thank you, Father. You are the best father in the world!"

Huo Die was very happy to have been praised in a long time, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "Hehe, my good daughter, alright, Dad's leaving, you two can be lovey-dovey."

As they reached the door, Huo Die turned back and said, "Your Yunhe was quite frightened today. You should comfort him properly, and then your father won't be in the way."

Even after leaving, he was still loudly lamenting, "Alas! It's going to rain, and my son will find a mate—it's beyond my control!"

Who can understand the feelings of raising a daughter? Sigh...

Feng Yu was indeed quite frightened. He held Shen Yao tightly with his well-defined knuckles, pressed her head against his chest, and felt the warmth of her cheek, without saying a word.

Shen Yao stayed inside the Qi Ling Seal for a full six hours.

During those six hours, every single breath, he feared she wouldn't come back...

This feeling of being constantly worried about gains and losses, and of being out of control, is too uncomfortable.

He just wanted to hold onto his goose boat and didn't want to say a word.

Moonlight streamed through the window into the side hall, and Feng Yu's desire for control spread throughout the night...
