Chapter 309: Fun Things

As Li Xiaojun spoke, he flicked his wrist, and an elixir capable of repairing the soul merged into his daughter Kenai Ling’s body.

Kenai Ling, only a little over three hundred years old, possessed Yin spirit roots and was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

A three-hundred-year-old late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had a cultivation speed that was already impressive.

While treating his daughter, Li Xiaojun’s divine sense instantly spread out.

Soon, he discovered that outside the formations and cave where Kenai Ling was hiding, countless people were searching for something.

These people’s cultivation levels were at least Golden Core stage, with dozens being at Nascent Soul stage, in addition to two powerhouses at Transformation stage.

It seemed these people were searching for the seriously injured Kenai Ling.

After treating Kenai Ling, Li Xiaojun reached out and grasped.

In the next moment, a person with a horrified expression appeared in Li Xiaojun’s grasp.

Soul Searching!

Without saying a word, Li Xiaojun directly performed Soul Searching on this individual.

This person was one of the two Transformation stage cultivators pursuing Kenai Ling.

Quickly, Li Xiaojun found the memories he sought from the mind of this Transformation stage cultivator.

To understand this matter, we must start with Kenai Ling’s mother, Kenai Xue—Kenai is their surname.

Kenai Xue lived in a world completely controlled by the Human Race.

Kenai Xue was the holy maiden of the Divine Fire Sect, a top dark sect of the Human Race.

The Human Race often engaged in infighting, branding certain people or forces as righteous or evil.

However, whether righteous or evil, as long as someone held enough power, others would not dare to act against them.

The Divine Fire Sect was a name that made many righteous people grit their teeth, yet it stood firm in the cultivation world for countless years.

As the holy maiden of the Divine Fire Sect, Kenai Xue’s mission was to cultivate a special technique of the sect and one day marry the Master of the Divine Fire Sect to assist him in breaking through his cultivation level.

Essentially, this meant supplementing his Yin essence.

However, one day, the holy maiden Kenai Xue suddenly found herself pregnant.

If Kenai Xue had disposed of the child directly, there would be no further events to recount.

Kenai Xue did not want to dispose of the child, so she secretly hid away to give birth and named the baby Kenai Ling.

Of course, even without Kenai Ling, Kenai Xue’s loss of Yin essence would eventually be discovered by the Divine Fire Sect.

And indeed, the truth could not be hidden forever.

Once Kenai Ling was born and grew into adulthood, the upper echelons of the Divine Fire Sect finally discovered that Kenai Xue had lost her Yin essence.

According to sect rules, Kenai Xue was executed by the Divine Fire Sect.

As for Kenai Xue’s daughter, Kenai Ling, she was groomed as the new holy maiden by the Divine Fire Sect.

However, Kenai Ling knew that the Divine Fire Sect was responsible for her mother’s death, which filled her with deep hatred for the sect.

Thus, Kenai Ling remained patient, waiting for an opportunity to escape and avenge her mother.

Several years ago, Kenai Ling’s cultivation broke through to the late-stage Nascent Soul.

One day, she finally found an opportunity to kill three Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Divine Fire Sect and then escaped from the sect.

As Kenai Ling fled, the Divine Fire Sect naturally pursued her with all their might, for her cultivation talent was truly powerful.

If Kenai Ling, filled with intense hatred for the Divine Fire Sect, managed to escape, the sect might face destruction at her hands in the future.

Thus, the Divine Fire Sect dispatched two Transformation stage cultivators, accompanied by dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators and hundreds of Golden Core cultivators to chase her down.

…

Li Xiaojun could not believe how dire his daughter’s situation was in this world.

However, he was relieved knowing she had a strong father.

As long as Li Xiaojun wanted, he could, in a moment, annihilate the entire Divine Fire Sect.

In fact, with his cultivation at the Golden Immortal Realm, it would be simple for him to destroy this life planet directly.

After learning about his daughter’s plight, Li Xiaojun felt somewhat angry and contemplated eradicating the Divine Fire Sect.

But in the blink of an eye, he brushed aside that thought.

Instead, he thought of something entertaining.

After some consideration, Li Xiaojun sent out a strand of immortal essence toward the formations his daughter had set up, adjusting some runes of the formations.

This way, the formation set by his daughter, Kenai Ling, would not be so easily discovered.

A few days later, Kenai Ling finally opened her eyes.

Her primordial spirit had almost fully recovered.

As soon as Kenai Ling regained consciousness, her injuries began to heal at an astonishing speed.

Once her wounds healed, Kenai Ling quickly surveyed her surroundings.

However, the situation around her was almost unchanged from when she first arrived.

It was still the dark underground cave.

The formation she had set up was still operational.

What puzzled her was how her primordial spirit had healed.

She also did not know how long she had been unconscious.

"Ha~"

Finally, Kenai Ling exhaled, feeling that she had temporarily evaded the chase of the Divine Fire Sect.

She did not notice that a man was indeed watching her.

That man was none other than Li Xiaojun, though at this moment he had completely concealed himself.

With Kenai Ling’s Nascent Soul stage cultivation, she had no hope of discovering him.

Next, the awakened Kenai Ling was very cautious.

She did not leave immediately but continued to hide in the formation, remaining in seclusion to heal.

It was only months later, when Kenai Ling felt the danger had passed, that she finally stepped out of the formation.

In the underground cave, Kenai Ling followed a dark river downstream.

On her body, she wore a jade pendant artifact given to her by her mother, which could sense the strength of others’ divine sense and shield her from the divine sense scans of cultivators below the Transformation stage.

Even with the jade pendant, Kenai Ling still walked very cautiously throughout her journey.

She didn’t know how long she had been walking.

One day, Kenai Ling arrived at a huge cavern following the underground dark river.

In the cave, Kenai Ling saw something that surprised her greatly.

She spotted a stone tablet that looked quite old.

On the tablet, several bold characters were carved—Dugu Qiubai.

"Who is Dugu Qiubai?"

Kenai Ling was taken aback.

She never expected that this dark river would lead to a tomb.

Before she could think much, Kenai Ling discovered something else.

That was, on the wall of the cave behind the Dugu Qiubai’s tomb, countless characters were engraved.

This type of writing was unfamiliar to Kenai Ling, but when she scanned it with her divine sense, it seemed she understood the meaning of these characters… or rather, the significance of the symbols.

Several hours later, Kenai Ling finally confirmed that the wall of the cave recorded a cultivation technique.

The name of this technique was the Human Emperor’s Immortal Sutra.

This was a technique that could be cultivated to become an immortal, encompassing everything from the Qi Training Edition to the Heavenly Immortal realm, meaning it could guide one to the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Besides that, the technique also included many powerful attacks and defensive methods.

After reading this technique, Kenai Ling felt incredibly excited.

With this technique, she would no longer need to practice the furnace technique from the Divine Fire Sect.

Just when Kenai Ling thought this technique was the biggest gain from her visit, she noticed a line of text at the end of the technique:

—To the fated one, when you see this technique, it means I, Dugu Qiubai, have already passed away.

If you are willing to take me as your teacher and inherit Dugu Qiubai’s legacy, then bow three times at my tomb…

Upon seeing this line, Kenai Ling pondered for a moment and approached the tomb of Dugu Qiubai.

Before the tomb, there was a flat stone, so she stood on it and respectfully bowed three times to Dugu Qiubai’s grave.

As soon as Kenai Ling finished bowing, she suddenly felt a fluctuation from the formations.

"Mm!"

Kenai Ling immediately became alert.

However, she soon relaxed her guard.

Because on the stone where she had bowed, a hole opened up, revealing a stone trough, and inside the trough lay a ring and a flying sword.
