Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Legacy of the Li Family's Ancestors
Ling Ru said: Sir, Ru just… doesn't want to lose you.
Her face was flushed with embarrassment, and I saw her slender fingers twisting together, muttering faint words I couldn't distinguish… but I didn't need to understand, for her features said everything.
I looked at her, at that gentle side of her, and I couldn't help but smile inwardly. What a surprise… The Nine Yin Empress, who is destined to dominate the world one day, now appears before me with a shy face and eyes full of embarrassment and pleading.
I moved a little closer to her, and in a quiet voice:
"I have recently checked the structure of your body."
I saw her eyes widen, and her hands suddenly stop moving, as if her heart had stopped beating for a moment.
It is not a useless body as everyone thought… but quite the opposite.
My face drew closer to her ear, and I whispered:
"I have a way to start your cultivation."
When I spoke those words, it was as if I had detonated a thunderclap in her ears. She looked at me in astonishment, then with eyes filled with hope, as if she had grabbed a lifeline from drowning.
Ling Ru said: "Really?"
She said it in a trembling voice, filled with pleading, supplication, and suppressed joy.
I saw in her eyes all the pain she had lived through, and all the fear of being left behind by everyone…
And now, I saw within her the beginning of a flame, small… but enough to ignite the world.
I said to Ling Ru: "Will the unknown birthmark on my cheek be removed?"
I nodded my head.
Ling Ru said: "Then… does the young master have any way?"
After receiving a positive answer from me,
Ling Ru said hesitantly: "Does he have…?
I smiled and said: "Alright, I promise you.
Ling Ru said: "Thank you, Sir.
In the original plot, Ling Ru fled during the destruction of the Li family, where she entered the unremarkable barren mountain, which was part of the Li family's land.
There, she accidentally entered a cave.
And obtained the inheritance of a Saint of Yin Technique.
Because of this technique, the shackles of her body were broken, and she set off on the path of cultivation.
My dear, go and wait for me inside my room.
I will go now to bring you the suitable technique for you to start cultivation.
However, the cultivation environment in the secret world's cave, and the Yin fruit left by the Saint, were very suitable for Ling Ru to start her cultivation.
But, the environment in the ancestral land of the Li family is thousands of times better than the cave.
Therefore, I will make her start cultivation there.
Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. This body is not my original body, and cultivation in it is useless to me.
First, let this future Empress begin her cultivation path. She will be of great use to me in the future, especially when I face Yi Feng.
Once I finished speaking, metal wings, more than ten meters long, spread behind me, emitting a sacred glow.
It looked as though a light rain was falling from the sky, with thousands of glittering light points.
My figure quickly disappeared from its place.
"Pull!"
The scenes around me passed by so quickly that they were almost unclear.
Five minutes and thirty-six seconds.
It is worthy of being a treasure on the level of a king.
Even with my cultivation level in the Spirit Palace World, I cannot possess this speed of movement.
In just five minutes, I covered more than a hundred kilometers and reached this abandoned, uninhabited mountain.
Even in my original body, I wasn't able to fly at this speed.
The location of the secret world's cave is extremely well-hidden, and no aura leaks from it.
After searching for a few minutes, I found it exactly as described in the plot.
If I hadn't known the location from the plot, I would have never been able to discover it.
My figure flashed again until I reached the interior of the secret world's cave.
"Wonderful!"
I couldn't help but let out a sigh.
There is a strange space inside the barren, desolate mountain.
The dark blue crystals emit a faint light, illuminating the cave.
Only the bones of the statues remain, almost fused with the rocks, and they cannot be separated.
In the center of the cave, there is a skeleton wearing blue armor.
Next to the skeleton, there is a fruit tree about three meters tall, standing tall and graceful.
This is the Yin tree, which bears ten Yin fruits every ten years.
This is where the Saint passed away.
After all, he was an elderly person who had reached the Sacred Stage. Even though he is dead, he deserves respect.
Anyway, he is one of the ancestors of the Li family.
The environment here, and the things left behind by him, can help Ling Ru break free from the restrictions preventing her from practicing.
I walked towards the Saint's skeleton, then bent down and touched the gemstone ring on his right finger.
"Boom!"
A set of techniques and skills flooded into my mind.
After acquiring the ring and techniques, I placed the Yin tree inside the system's storage space.
Then I left and headed towards the Li family.
After I arrived at the Li family, I went straight to my room, where Ling Ru was waiting for me.
"Are you ready to begin your cultivation journey?" I asked her, watching her facial expressions with anxiety.
Her gaze was filled with curiosity, but she remained calm. It was clear that I was carrying a heavier burden than I had expected, but I decided not to show it.
Ling Ru, with a sharp gaze, said, "Yes, I am ready, Young Master."
I felt a sense of reassurance inside me.
This moment was the beginning of something more than just cultivation.
It was the beginning of a new relationship, full of challenges and gains. But deep inside, I knew that this step would change Ling Ru's destiny forever.
"Alright."
Then, I transmitted the technique and some combat skills to her.
"This technique suits you, and it will enable you to cultivate well.
This technique is the final body technique, and it is very powerful. It will grant you great physical strength; however, if you want to succeed in it, you must refine your body using lightning."
Then, I transmitted the Crystal Body technique to her.
"Alright, don't think too much about it. If you want to train in it, I'll take you to the lightning area where lightning element users train. There, you'll be able to practice it."
I didn't give her a chance to speak. I embraced her, and we headed toward the Li family's ancestral land.
Within seconds, we reached the deepest point in the Li family's ancestral land.
"Alright, you can train here. There will be someone overseeing your training."
"And if you want to train in the Crystal Body technique, let me know. For now, you should focus on starting your cultivation.
Ling Ru said, "Alright, Young Master, I promise I won't let you down. I'll become stronger as quickly as possible.
"Alright, I trust you. After all, you serve me.
