Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation-Chapter 232 - 104: Ten Years

On this day, Liu Changgeng received a transmission, and immediately his expression turned solemn.

"Issue an order within the clan: Cease all external affairs for the next ten years, keep a low profile, and await the ancestor's emergence!" He pondered for a moment before issuing the clan order.

Then, he bathed and dressed ceremoniously, heading out.

Gugu followed closely behind, until they reached a bamboo forest, sensing the strong fluctuations of a Restriction Array ahead.

Before them, the Restriction Array enveloped the bamboo forest, leaving no corner unguarded; not even a bug could sneak in.

"Swipe!" Liu Changgeng arrived before the bamboo forest and waved his hand, activating the restriction in front of him.

However, an inner layer remained, even stronger than the outer restriction, and it screened Divine Sense; the light on it flickered.

"Seventh Uncle, Changgeng is here to pay respects." Liu Changgeng slightly bowed his hands toward the inside of the restriction.

After three breaths, the light curtain rolled back to both sides.

Liu Changgeng stepped inside.

Gugu also took advantage of the moment the Restriction Array opened to slip inside.

Once inside the array, Gugu's sensing of the environment changed abruptly.

Within were small bridges and flowing waters, flowers red and willows green.

At the water pavilion's side, an old man was playing a chess game with a middle-aged beautiful woman.

That old man was Liu Jingchun, who had interactions with Li Ji'an.

"Seventh Uncle, Seventh Aunt." Liu Changgeng arrived outside the pavilion, casually greeting the two inside.

The two seemed not to hear, ignoring him.

"Husband, you let me win again." The beautiful woman placed a white piece, slicing the dragon's head, causing the black pieces to lose the whole game.

Liu Jingchun raised his head and laughed: "Zilan, your chess skills are superb; even with all my efforts, I can't win even half a piece, how could I dare let you?"

Liu Changgeng was accustomed to this, a slight smile on his lips, unconcerned whether they listened or not: "Seventh Uncle, the ancestor is about to achieve Great Success in his Divine Skill. Our Liu Family will truly have hope to glimpse the Immortal Path of longevity. Now, the answer is about to be revealed; do you still remain stubborn?"

"Haha! The Immortal Path of longevity?" Liu Jingchun laughed.

Liu Changgeng wasn't bothered: "Is it wrong? Without achieving True Pill, the path is cut off. If we remain under the pressure of the Biyun Sect, they would never allow us the possibility of achieving True Pill. Only because the ancestor possesses an amazing vision and courage, does he dare to break through the Sect's suppression, sparing no cost to break the Fake Pill restraint.

Now, the ancestor is about to succeed; in the future, he will confront the sect's pressure and elevate the ancestral vein to Tier Three Middle Grade. At that time, the descendants of our Liu Family will have the possibility to condense True Pill.

As long as True Pill is achieved, at least there's a glimmer of hope on the path."

Liu Jingchun smiled slightly: "Without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without accumulating small streams, one cannot form rivers and seas. Our Liu Family's depth is still lacking for True Pill; time, location, and unity are all insufficient.

The ancestor, with astonishing talent and extraordinary innate ability, was able to stabilize the tottering Liu Family back then, already achieving immense merit.

If he could have achieved success and retired back then, his future place would have been in the foremost rank of Liu Family's ancestral seats.

Unfortunately, he grew muddled with age.

Ha~ destined to be scorned by future generations of Liu Family, leaving a legacy of shame for eternity."

"Humph! The ancestor has already achieved Great Success in his Divine Skill, and you still argue?" Liu Changgeng was slightly annoyed.

"To test jade requires three days of burning, to determine skill requires a seven-year period; and yet, within less than a lifetime, you believe him to be right?" Liu Jingchun laughed and shook his head.

"The ancestor is absolutely right!" Liu Changgeng's face was somewhat displeased.

Then he stopped arguing with Liu Jingchun: "Seventh Uncle, talking more is pointless. The ancestor commands you to prepare to connect the Earth Vein, fully gathering all surrounding Spirit Vein branches to the main vein, awaiting his command."

"I have long said, the talent is limited; understanding of the 'Earth Book' is not profound, stuck at Second Tier Early Period, unable to connect such a vast Spirit Vein formation." Liu Jingchun immediately refused.

"Then activate the bloodline sensing, searching for your bloodline descendants!"

"Ha~ My son Yuan Hua was long harmed by you; why pretend to be noble?" Liu Jingchun coldly sneered.

"Seventh Uncle, please avoid slander, it's better. The ancestor's expectations for Yuan Hua surpass yours; how could he harm him?" Liu Changgeng showed subtle displeasure.

Liu Jingchun closed his eyes, saying nothing.

"The ancestor instructed, if you are unwilling to assist, then convey the full heritage of the 'Earth Book'." Liu Changgeng stepped back to seek second-best.

"I only understood up to Second Tier Early Period; how could I remember subsequent heritage? Don't waste time and effort." Liu Jingchun's attitude was resolute.

"You!" Liu Changgeng's face turned grim, then he looked at the beautiful woman, a hint of malice flashing: "Seventh Uncle, you wouldn't want Seventh Aunt to suffer unforeseen disasters in her old age, would you?"

Liu Jingchun and the beautiful woman both smiled slightly, showing no trace of fear.

Finally, Liu Changgeng stormed out.

Li Ji'an did not let Gugu follow this time, but remained inside the Restriction Array.

After Liu Changgeng exited the array, Liu Jingchun waved his hand, the inner layer of restriction closed again.

Integrating Divine Sense shield and multiple illusions, he was confident in guarding against True Pill Divine Sense probing.

As the array closed, both Liu Jingchun and the beautiful woman showed somber expressions.

"Husband, time is running out!" The woman's face was filled with worry.

Everyone thought that Liu Jingchun had struggled on for so many years because of her.

But she knew that the reason Liu Jingchun endured humiliation and persevered till now was for the Liu Family, the last hope to save Liu Family.

Liu Jingchun forced a smile, gently stroking the woman's cheek: "Whether it succeeds or not, I've done my best, with a clear conscience facing the ancestors in the underworld. Yet, Zilan, in this life it's me who harmed you, finally... you'll be freed."

"Husband, are you talking nonsense again?" The woman glared at him.

Liu Jingchun laughed heartily, pulling her into his embrace.

The two stood by the pond, watching the fish play in the water.

"Husband, how confident are you?"

Liu Jingchun said nothing, only calmed his mind and concentrated, then subtly flicked his fingers.
