Starting As A Clan Leader: My Rules Are A Bit Wild

Chapter 104: The Fifth Realm! The Secret Technique of the Tyrant, the Immortal-Slaying Reverse Path! A Ruthless Person Emerges!

The disparity is truly too great.

It's so big that at this moment, they don't even want to see anyone. They just want to shut themselves in and cry slowly.

It's embarrassing!

It's truly embarrassing to the extreme.

They exchange glances and can see the deep hidden embarrassment in each other's eyes.

"Fortunately, we didn't invite anyone else to witness this, otherwise..." Elder of the Origin Returning Sect's eyes twitched at the thought.

According to past practice, for this kind of grand competition, they would invite "partners," "allies," and friends to come and witness it. One reason is to show off their talented disciples, and the other is to show off a bit.

Look at our disciples, aren't they amazing?

Aren't you jealous?

This year, considering that Xiao Ling'er is coming and she will most likely be the final winner, they endured it.

How could they let outsiders see their disciples lose?

That wouldn't look good at all.

But they never expected to lose so badly.

It's simply...

Unbearable!

They are still able to bear it.

But the disciples who have realized what happened are even more miserable.

Their hearts are ashen.

Even people like Xu Sanqiu, their expressions changed again and again, and in that instant, their Dao hearts almost collapsed!

After years of hard cultivation, everyone says that they have extraordinary talent. Among the many disciples of the Origin Returning Sect, they were able to stand out and secure a place in the rankings. They are not just better than others, but they are definitely superior to countless others!

But the result...

Ten people joined forces, but they were all easily defeated by Xiao Ling'er.

This...

Did all their years of hard work go to waste?

Confused.

Bewildered.

Dazed.

Even...despairing!

Being able to become a ranked disciple of the Origin Returning Sect, at the very least, can be called a "genius." But now, they, ten geniuses working together, have achieved such a result.

Geniuses?

They're probably just useless!!!

The disparity is really too great.

So great that they don't think there is any chance of catching up, especially considering the difference in background. Their own sect is only a second-rate sect! The Embracing Moon Sect that Xiao Ling'er is backed by was on the verge of extinction two years ago.

The difference in background is so great.

But the strength is completely reversed.

Naturally, it's hard to accept.

Even a female ranked disciple couldn't help but cry on the spot.

"..." The Medicine Ancestor said softly, "It seems a bit excessive."

"How are you going to handle this?"

"Cough, it is indeed a bit excessive, but it was within my expectations."

Xiao Ling'er replied in her heart, then took a deep breath and took a step forward. "Senior brothers and sisters, I apologize for my actions!"

"But, there is no need for you to blame yourselves."

"Along the way, Xiao Ling'er has had many adventures and possesses two types of Strange Fire, so naturally, she is stronger. Rather than saying that you lost to me, it is more accurate to say that you lost to luck and adventures."

She spoke sincerely and naturally, "This time, Xiao Ling'er didn't mean to insult or be arrogant. I did my best out of respect for all of you."

"Because in my heart, everyone is a worthy opponent. Otherwise, it would be an insult to all of you!"

"This Origin Returning Secret Realm is also an adventure for me."

"But as I said before, I have reasons that I cannot avoid entering the Secret Realm and quickly becoming stronger."

"Therefore, I apologize."

Pausing for a moment and seeing that everyone was listening to her, she continued, "Perhaps you have heard something, I have some talent in alchemy and some attainments."

"This time, I have prepared some pills specifically for my senior brothers and sisters to make up for my intrusion and seizing of opportunities. This is my little token of appreciation, please don't refuse."

After speaking, she flicked her finger.

Ten jade bottles fell into the hands of Xu Sanqiu and the others, even Qin Chuanliu had one.

Then, Xiao Ling'er took out another jade bottle and handed it to Elder Chen, "These are my thanks to the elders for their cultivation and apologies to the other junior brothers and sisters. They are some inexpensive pills. Please distribute them on my behalf, Elder Chen."

Qin Chuanliu held the jade bottle, his knuckles turning white.

He was very annoyed.

Just now, he was screaming in pain from being burned by the Strange Fire. His body still felt the burning pain, and now she wants to buy me off with a few pills?

What a joke!

He was unhappy and directly opened the jade bottle in front of everyone.

Then...

He was stunned.

"Ah?!"

The other ranked disciples were also surprised when they saw this.

Although their mentality was still extremely shattered, they also successively opened the jade bottles.

Then...

"Ah?!"

"What?!"

"This is...!"

"This is too..."

"Too precious!!!"

Rank Five pills!

Finger Mystic pills!

And they are all Fifth Grade!!!

Fifth Grade pills are not that rare, but they are definitely good things. For them, they might not even get a few in a year, but at this moment, Xiao Ling'er gave them ten at once.

And it's ten for each person!

"What a generous gift!"

Xu Sanqiu was surprised, then looked deeply at Xiao Ling'er, and waves of shock surged in his heart.

With so many Fifth Grade Finger Mystic pills, if all of them were taken by one person, the improvement they would bring might be even stronger than the Origin Returning Secret Realm?!

Compared to that, the only advantage of the Origin Returning Secret Realm is that it saves time.

It's like receiving the essence of cultivation in one day, equivalent to ten years of hard practice.

But, when combined with the pills in Elder Chen's jade bottle, which is more valuable, the pills or the Origin Returning Secret Realm, is not necessarily certain!

And if I were to ask myself, if I had so many top-grade pills, would I use them to exchange for a ticket to the Origin Returning Secret Realm?

Especially when I already have a ticket myself...

The answer is definitely no.

Xu Sanqiu smiled bitterly.

Then he tightly grasped the jade bottle, bowed and saluted, "I admire your generosity, Xu Sanqiu!"

"The Origin Returning Secret Realm is for the capable!"

He acknowledged it.

Regardless of strength, character, or generosity.

He was convinced that he was no match for Xiao Ling'er.

Even though she was just a woman and more than ten years younger than him.

But the gap was too obvious.

He might be just a little genius, but she was a true peerless prodigy.

If he could see her back with all his efforts, he would consider himself lucky, right?

With such a huge gap, like the brilliance of the moon and the firefly, why should I put myself on the same level as her?

I lost to her, and the top ten rankings lost to her...

It's only natural.

To be defeated so easily.

To be so vulnerable, it's also natural.

After all, she is a true dragon.

We are not as insignificant as ants, but at most we are at the level of a 'Kun Kun'. Being abused, isn't it reasonable?

Do you still want to scratch a true dragon to death with a Kun claw?

And at this moment, this true dragon has given us benefits, what else do I have to be dissatisfied with?

Don't be shameless!

Xu Sanqiu accepted it.

Others accepted it too.

Qin Chuanliu was very unhappy in his heart, but he also... had to accept it.

Seeing them all bow their heads, and the scene of the previous mental collapse disappeared, Elder Chen and the others looked at each other and then smiled bitterly.

Their divine senses intertwined and collided, filled with emotion.

"So, this is the aura of a prodigy?"

"To be so generous with just one move, a genius Alchemist is truly enviable."

"Extraordinary talent, extraordinary strength, and commendable character. Xu Sanqiu and the others have to accept it, and they shouldn't not accept it!"

"Enough, enough, this is the aura that a peerless prodigy should have. So what if she defeats the top ten rankings? So what if she doesn't give us face? It would be even more embarrassing if she faked it!"

"That's right, her wholehearted effort can make the disciples see the gap, and then strive to catch up, instead of living in their own dreams of being second only to a peerless prodigy."

"Moreover, we should be happy."

Elder Chen communicated through divine sense, somewhat lamenting, "It's because she has such a peerless appearance that we are willing to invest so much, isn't it?"

"The stronger she is, the happier we should be."

"..."

"That's right!"

They also felt relieved.

It was inevitable that they would find it difficult to accept for a while.

But after realizing it, they also felt that it was not a bad thing.

Let the disciples see the reality, let them know the gap, and they will naturally strive to catch up.

As for anger and dissatisfaction...

If it were a ten to eight gap, they might indeed be dissatisfied, they might be angry, but... what about an eight to one hundred gap?

They would only think, damn, that's impressive.

If only I could be that impressive too!

There might still be jealousy.

But dissatisfaction...

It would basically disappear.

Just like at this moment.

...

"Tomorrow, the Origin Returning Secret Realm will open. When you enter, sit cross-legged in the center and absorb the Essence Qi of heaven and earth."

Elder Chen smiled and said to Xiao Ling'er, "When you start cultivating, the Origin Returning Secret Realm will activate and inject all the accumulation of the past ten years into your body like a baptism of enlightenment."

"What you need to do is to convert it into your own Profound Essence Qi as much as possible in the shortest time and break through during this opportunity."

"But be careful not to aim too high!"

"Having a high cultivation realm is good, but a solid foundation is more important. Don't let your cultivation realm be superficial!"

She couldn't help but remind her a few more times.

After all, she was the one they invested in, so she couldn't afford any mistakes.

"I will remember, Senior."

Xiao Ling'er responded solemnly.

Foundation?!

Nature is the most important!

The next day, early morning.

Xiao Ling'er entered the Origin Returning Secret Realm.

Ya Ya waited outside.

The elders of the Origin Returning Sect did not leave either, but stayed at the entrance, wanting to witness firsthand the great improvement this unparalleled genius would have after coming out of the Origin Returning Secret Realm.

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, an elder approached Elder Chen and said, "Since we have nothing else to do, why don't you take out that jade bottle and open it so we can see what kind of pills are inside?"

"Sure."

Elder Chen nodded and then took out the jade bottle and opened it.

And then...

"Hiss!!!"

They all gasped in shock.

"This is the unparalleled genius?"

"It's so terrifying!"

"When she comes out, we must take her back to the treasure vault. Even if we have to force it, we must give her some good things."

"Yes!"

"But with her current accumulation, she probably won't be interested in or need ordinary treasures."

"Then... let's prepare some things that the Embracing Moon Sect needs?"

"That's a good idea."

"And also!"

Elder Chen looked towards the corner where Ya Ya was squatting, engrossed in reading the book "Flame Emperor" without much presence, and said, "Xiao Ling'er doesn't need it, but... the people around her might."

"Great idea!"

"Chen He, you've come up with a good plan!"

"That's brilliant!"

"That's how it should be!"

"I'll take care of this, I'll prepare!"

"We don't need Spirit Weapons." Elder Chen stopped the hurried elder and said, "I observed that she is an ordinary person and can't use ordinary Law Treasures. She has a set of very special Spirit Weapons on her, which are quite valuable and rare!"

"Our Origin Returning Sect can't provide her with a more suitable Spirit Weapon."

"But I don't think the Embracing Moon Sect has many other external items either, so we can start from these aspects."

"However, remember not to choose the strong ones, only the right ones!"

"She is an ordinary person and can't use anything that requires elemental power. Three Elders, you should have an idea of what to choose, right?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that foolish!"

The third elder hurriedly left.

Isn't it just picking objects that can be broken, torn, or worn to be effective?

It's a small matter!

...

Inside the Origin Returning Secret Realm, it was all white.

There were no colorful and magnificent scenes as imagined, in fact, there was nothing at all.

Only 'thick fog' filled every corner.

"What a rich spiritual energy."

The Medicine Granny exclaimed, "I've heard of the Origin Returning Sect's Origin Returning Secret Realm before, and now that I see it, it's not just a name."

"Is this Secret Realm very powerful?"

Xiao Ling'er was puzzled.

"It's not very powerful, but it's rare and quite famous."

The Medicine Granny patiently explained, "It's an eye-opener, and it greatly increases cultivation. Ten years of cultivation is nothing for a powerful person, and even ten years of seclusion is just a moment."

"But for the younger generation, it is precious."

"If two people have similar talents, one cultivates normally while the other suddenly improves by ten years, the gap between them will widen."

"As long as they can keep up afterwards, they can leave their opponents far behind!"

"That's right!"

Xiao Ling'er suddenly understood.

One step faster, step by step faster.

Ten years...

For oneself, how precious is ten years of cultivation?!

But this time, the right to use the Origin Returning Secret Realm belongs to oneself!

"Go to the center, I will protect you."

The Medicine Granny appeared and smiled, "This opportunity is enough to make up for the years of stagnation caused by me, and you can even make further progress!"

"That's really great."

"Why do you say that, teacher? What do you mean by being held back? If it weren't for you, how could I have achieved what I have today? At most, I would have been a little genius in the Xiao family."

Xiao Ling'er took a step forward, heading towards the center, unable to help but sigh.

Human experiences are truly extraordinary.

Sometimes, a seemingly insignificant choice can change one's life, and it can be a complete transformation!

For example, back then, if she hadn't picked up that necklace covered in mud in the wilderness...

Sigh.

Who can understand all the changes?

She helplessly shook her head and smiled.

...

In the center, Xiao Ling'er sat cross-legged and focused her mind.

Then, she took out a Ninth Grade Grotto-Heaven pill and put it in her mouth, and then handed several pills to the Medicine Granny who was floating nearby.

Among them were breakthrough pills.

"Let's begin!"

"I will protect you and provide you with elixirs if you need them. I will assist you in taking them as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, teacher."

Xiao Ling'er nodded and slowly closed her eyes. She entered a state of cultivation, absorbing the surrounding Essence Qi of heaven and earth.

Boom!

At this moment, the Origin Returning Secret Realm shook as if there was an earthquake.

Then, a huge vortex gradually formed.

Xiao Ling'er was in the center of the vortex.

Whoosh!

The white "mist" was stirred by the "tornado," giving it color and shape.

This white mist was the extremely rich and pure "spiritual essence."

Then...

The tornado became even more astonishing, carrying a massive amount of spiritual essence and pouring it into Xiao Ling'er's body like surging waves.

It was truly a "pouring"!

It was only because Xiao Ling'er had an astonishing foundation and had experienced a lot, and her physical body was strong that she could withstand it. Even if she could withstand it, she would still endure immense pain.

She still couldn't absorb and utilize all of this spiritual essence.

Because the pouring was too fast, too fast!

But Xiao Ling'er, as a peerless genius, naturally had enough time.

At least, for now!

She even felt that it wasn't enough and took the Ninth Grade Grotto-Heaven pill from her mouth to further increase her cultivation speed.

Boom, boom, boom!

Inside Xiao Ling'er's body, it sounded like waves crashing, with a tremendous momentum.

Under this incredible blessing, her cultivation soared to new heights.

Grotto-Heavens were consecutively opened within her body, at an astonishing speed!

Fourth Grotto-Heaven Realm Fourth Layer...

Fifth Layer, Sixth Layer!

In just an hour, she had broken through three small realms in succession.

But the pouring hadn't ended yet, and it became even more astonishing!

The spiritual essence in the entire Secret Realm was being "drawn" by the tornado and poured in madly!

At this moment, even Xiao Ling'er couldn't absorb and transform it in time.

It began to dissipate from her limbs and body.

Xiao Ling'er panicked.

How could such a good thing be wasted?!

"Indestructible Devouring Flame, devour it for me!"

She used the Indestructible Devouring Flame to devour and refine the spiritual essence she couldn't absorb in time into even purer Profound Essence, directly absorbing it.

But gradually, she still couldn't keep up!

The Medicine Ancestor quickly reminded her, "Heavenly Dragon Bone Fire!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Ling'er suddenly realized.

Then, she transferred the characteristics of the Indestructible Devouring Flame to the Heavenly Dragon Bone Fire, allowing it to also possess the ability to devour. The originally small flame of the Heavenly Dragon Bone Fire began to grow slowly.

At this point, Xiao Ling'er finally managed to fully utilize the infused spiritual essence.

Although she didn't absorb all of it herself, she at least didn't waste a single bit, without any leakage!

Half a day quietly passed.

Xiao Ling'er's cultivation had already soared to the Fourth Realm Ninth Layer, approaching completion in large strides!

Finally, another half an hour passed.

"Teacher!"

She closed her eyes and spoke.

The Medicine Ancestor flicked his finger, and a Rank Four Breaking Realm pill and a Finger Mystic pill flew out, accurately landing in Xiao Ling'er's mouth.

Boom!

Xiao Ling'er's momentum skyrocketed. She... was about to break through!

An hour later.

Boom!

A mysterious aura spread from Xiao Ling'er's body. It was the "profound mystery of all things"!

Fifth Finger Mystic Realm, achieved!

The so-called Finger Mystic meant being able to comprehend and control all kinds of mysteries, gathering them at the fingertips. It seemed effortless to point out with a finger, but it possessed terrifying power!

When using various Law Treasures and objects, it could be even more handy, further exerting their power.

This realm was considered powerful in the Immortal Martial Continent. In most third-rate sects, it was enough to be a "founder"!

But it wasn't over yet!

There was still spiritual essence!

With the Ninth Grade Finger Mystic pill, Xiao Ling'er's realm continued to grow.

Until...

After a full day in the Origin Returning Secret Realm, Xiao Ling'er stood up.

At this moment, her cultivation had reached the Fifth Finger Mystic Realm Second Layer!

The terrifying aura she emitted surpassed the previous one by a large margin! Each realm was considered complete, without any sense of falsehood.

However, because she had broken through too quickly, she found it difficult to control her own momentum for a while.

She needed some time to adjust.

But this was not a problem.

"Wonderful!"

"In one day, it's worth ten years of hard cultivation. The Origin Returning Secret Realm is well-deserved!"

Xiao Ling'er was in a great mood.

The Medicine Granny also had a smile on her face.

The harvest this time was really great.

Ten years of hard cultivation!

What Xiao Ling'er lacked the most was time.

Now, stepping into the Finger Mystic realm, in the eyes of the Medicine Granny, it could also be considered as having the power to protect oneself. After all, there was still oneself! When one controls the body in the Finger Mystic realm, it can also exert stronger power.

Moreover, not only that!

"The Heavenly Dragon Bone Fire has also grown to a very good level."

Xiao Ling'er exclaimed with joy: "If I can have another chance, I will definitely be able to grow it into a true Strange Fire for me to use!"

"No rush, no rush!"

The Medicine Granny smiled and reassured: "It is not a good thing to increase one's strength too quickly in a short period of time. It's better to suppress it for now. During this time, it is enough for you to collect other heavenly treasures and cultivate them."

"I think, before the three-year agreement arrives, it should be enough to succeed, and then cultivate the Burning Flame Technique to the fourth level."

"By then, you can successfully practice the fourth transformation of the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations, and combine it with the Great Sun Burning Heaven of the four Strange Fires..."

"The old me feels very gratified."

The growth speed is too fast.

Even the Medicine Granny couldn't help but be amazed, and at the same time, she was particularly gratified.

Is this the unparalleled genius?

Even compared to oneself back then, it is far inferior!

"Yes, teacher."

Xiao Ling'er put away her smile, looked around, and couldn't help scratching her head in embarrassment: "It's just... teacher, I seem to have gone a bit too far."

The Origin Returning Secret Realm is still the same Origin Returning Secret Realm.

But...

The mist has completely disappeared, not even a trace left.

Clean, without any remnants.

Even the aura of the primordial spirit cannot be felt.

It was really sucked dry by oneself.

"It can indeed be absorbed."

The Medicine Granny's face twitched slightly: "Normally, even for a genius, being able to absorb sixty percent is already commendable."

"But you absorbed a hundred percent!"

"And..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the next person to enter within ten years will find that the aura of the primordial spirit will be much thinner."

"I wonder if it will damage the foundation of the Secret Realm."

Xiao Ling'er became even more embarrassed.

"That won't happen."

"It's just that it will probably take several tens of years to fully recover, right?"

The Medicine Granny smirked.

Xiao Ling'er scratched her head again.

...

"Coming out!"

The entrance to the Secret Realm is also the exit.

Chen He and the others were staring eagerly, and suddenly saw the exit flickering with light, and they immediately focused their attention.

Xiao Ling'er's figure slowly solidified...

"Hiss!!!"

"The Fifth Realm!"

"Still the Second Layer?!"

"And it's not just a recent breakthrough, it's not far from the Third Layer!"

"This???"

"To directly break through a major realm, and from the fourth realm to the fifth realm???"

They were shocked.

Wow.

They knew that you were an unparalleled genius, but isn't this a bit too exaggerated?!

"Is this the unparalleled genius?"

Chen He muttered to herself.

Back then, she had also entered the Secret Realm once.

Coincidentally, it was also the fourth realm.

After coming out, she broke through four small realms, which was already quite rare.

At that time, she was quite proud of herself, thinking that she was a one-in-a-million genius.

But now, looking at it...

It's difficult to hold back!

Embarrassing.

She turned her head away, unwilling to look anymore.

It's too discouraging!

As for worrying that Xiao Ling'er's foundation would be unstable due to breaking through realms, with their cultivation level, they could see that Xiao Ling'er's foundation was extremely stable, and almost every realm was considered perfect.

Therefore, there was no need to worry about it.

But precisely because of this, they were even more surprised.

...

"..."

The Elder couldn't help but mutter: "Could it be that the Origin Returning Secret Realm was completely sucked dry?"

"Sorry."

Xiao Ling'er responded awkwardly.

Everyone: "??!"

"You really sucked it dry?!"

Wow!

They were dumbfounded.

Someone can really suck it dry?! Isn't it supposed to be that half, or even a large portion, will return to the Secret Realm because there isn't enough time to absorb it???

The elder was even more confused.

I just said it casually.

You're really capable?!

But then, they became excited.

Such a genius!

As long as Xiao Ling'er doesn't die prematurely, perhaps it won't be long before she can protect our sect, right?

This investment...

It's not a loss!

Then, without hesitation, they dragged Xiao Ling'er into the treasure vault and almost forced her to choose some treasures before letting her move freely.

Xiao Ling'er felt warm in her heart.

"Although Origin Returning Sect is not my own sect, since they treat me like this, I will definitely repay them."

The Medicine Granny whispered, "That's right."

One should repay kindness!

Ungrateful thieves deserve to die!

Afterwards...

Xiao Ling'er saw Ya Ya again.

But then everything went black.

"Young Junior Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"These were given to me by the elders of Origin Returning Sect. I said I didn't want them, but they insisted on giving them to me."

The little girl was helpless.

She was covered in all kinds of good things!

There were several sets of one-time defensive jewelry, hairpins, bracelets, anklets... and they were all activated automatically without needing to be controlled.

Never mind how many attacks they could withstand, the quantity alone was astonishing.

There was even a specially made storage bag!

It could be used without using spiritual energy or divine consciousness. Just put your hand in and take things out directly! Although the space was not large, it was perfect for Ya Ya to use.

Xiao Ling'er took a look.

Inside were many talismans that could be torn or stuck on the body to be used.

Attack, defense, speed boost, invisibility, flight...

All kinds of talismans were available.

There were also some one-time use Law Weapons and so on...

She was fully armed!

Coupled with the gift from Huo Yun'er, Xiao Ling'er estimated that Ya Ya, a mortal, was a bit exaggerated in the fourth realm, but she really couldn't do anything to her in the third realm!

It was estimated that even if she was exhausted, she wouldn't be able to break through her defense.

If the opponent didn't run away, the little girl could easily crush them with her one-time use Law Weapons and talismans!

And she had enough to crush them more than ten times!

Her main focus was on being rich and willful.

The secret technique of the nouveau riche, even mortals can defeat immortals!

"..."

Seeing Xiao Ling'er's shock, Ya Ya said embarrassedly, "Shall we go back?"

"No need."

Xiao Ling'er refused.

If it was for herself, she would definitely not accept it, nor would she need it.

But for Ya Ya...

It couldn't be more suitable.

She smiled and said, "This is your gift, accepting it won't be a problem."

But in her heart, she thought, "I'll repay this favor in the future."

After staying in Origin Returning Sect for another day, Xiao Ling'er took Ya Ya and left.

Elder Chen personally saw them off.

But...

On the way, Ya Ya closed the book and said to Xiao Ling'er, "Senior Sister, I want to go for a walk."

Xiao Ling'er was taken aback, "Go for a walk?"

She thought Ya Ya was feeling bored and wanted to relax.

It made sense!

After all, Ya Ya was just a mortal, and she was still a little girl. It was the age of curiosity, and staying on the mountain all day was indeed very boring.

It would be good to go to lively places and take a walk.

"Alright."

She smiled and said, "Then Senior Sister will take you to the mortal city, is that okay?"

But the little girl shook her head slowly.

"..."

Xiao Ling'er slowed down, "Do you want to go to the immortal city?"

"I want to go by myself."

The little girl said seriously, "According to the cultivators, it means going out to experience and find one's own opportunities."

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Ling'er's face tightened, "You're still too young, and you..."

"In any case, it's not appropriate!"

"It's too dangerous outside, and you don't have the ability to protect yourself yet, you..."

"Sister!"

For the first time, the little girl interrupted Xiao Ling'er and said seriously, "You just said that I'm not afraid even when facing a cultivator in the third realm alone."

"But I heard Master say that when you came to worship the mountain, you only had the cultivation of the first realm."

"Why can you go out, but I can't?"

"Although I have no cultivation, I have many treasures, and deep down, I believe that going out to experience is the path I should take."

"It is also the path I must take."

A six-year-old girl spoke these words, causing Xiao Ling'er's scalp to tingle.

"It is even more dangerous for you to have treasures on you. You must know that the innocent carry the guilt of possessing treasures. With so many treasures, it will inevitably attract those with ill intentions to spy on you..."

"Ling'er!"

While Xiao Ling'er was anxiously trying to dissuade her, the voice of Medicine Granny echoed in her mind: "Don't worry."

"Think about 'Concealing the Sky'."

Xiao Ling'er was stunned.

Then she smiled bitterly.

"Teacher, I was too hasty."

Yes.

In the eyes of her master, the path of the little junior sister was that of the peerless ruthless empress!

Even if it wasn't the future, it should still be the master's expectation, right?

How could she treat her as an ordinary child?

...

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath. "Little junior sister, I understand your thoughts, but I cannot make the decision on this matter."

"So, I will contact the master and let the master decide."

"If the master agrees, I won't say another word, but if the master doesn't allow it, you still have to return to the sect with me."

"Alright! Thank you, senior sister."

The little girl agreed.

Xiao Ling'er was helpless. Although she was worried, she could only use a sound-transmitting jade talisman to contact Lin Fan.

...

"Little junior sister wants to venture out alone?!"

Lin Fan frowned slightly.

His first reaction was also to refuse.

After all, the outside world was too dangerous. Countless cultivators died every day, and ordinary people would die without knowing how many. A six-year-old girl venturing out alone?

Too dangerous!

But then he hesitated.

"It seems that I can't treat the little junior sister as an ordinary child."

"After all, she is the template for the ruthless empress."

"Although she hasn't embarked on the path of cultivation these days, she has already shown some extraordinary qualities. It is enough to prove that she is not an ordinary mortal."

"And if I'm not mistaken, she is indeed the template for the ruthless empress. So, staying in the sect is not suitable for her."

"It will only restrict her growth..."

The path of the ruthless empress was extremely difficult, and it could even be said to be exceptionally 'ruthless'!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have earned this 'title'.

If she stayed in the sect all the time, she would never encounter those 'darkness', and she would find it difficult to grow.

Even if she could comprehend the Heaven Swallowing Demon Technique like Qin Yu did with the Star Shift Technique...

Who would she swallow?!

She couldn't swallow her own people, right?

"Venturing out seems to be the only choice."

Lin Fan suddenly realized.

"Moreover, it would be best not to send any protectors."

"Only in this way can she truly grow to that level..."

The path of the ruthless empress was full of hardships, and it eventually led to an invincible road. There was no one to protect her along the way.

Setbacks and hardships were the best catalysts!

"Alright."

"Teach according to one's aptitude."

"Different people require different cultivation methods."

"The Flame Emperor can develop according to the rules, but the ruthless empress has her own path to walk."

"If we impose restrictions on her out of concern, the final result may not be good for her."

"It's time to gradually let go."

Lin Fan sighed lightly and made a decision.

At this moment, he had a feeling of worry like an old father watching his little daughter leave home.

She was still so young, what if she encountered danger?

What if she was deceived?

What if something happened to her...

But reason also told him that she would encounter all these things, but he had to let go.

"Ah."

"Speaking of which, it seems that girls are more worrying. When Qiu Yongqin left the mountain, I wasn't so conflicted."

Lin Fan helplessly scratched his head.

Although Qiu Yongqin had reached the second realm of cultivation when he left the mountain, in terms of self-defense ability, he was far inferior to the current little junior sister.

"Find a suitable place and let her venture on her own."

Lin Fan replied to Xiao Ling'er, "Don't worry too much, she has her own destiny."

"We don't need to change her decision."

"Should we send a protector? How about a disciple..."

"No need."

"She is different from us."

"She can only walk her own path."

...

Xiao Ling'er fell silent, and it took a long, long time for her to recover.

"Yes, Master."

...

"Master has agreed."

Xiao Ling'er helplessly said, "Yaya, where do you want to go? I will take you there."

"To..."

The little girl pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is the Immortal Dynasty?"

"Which Immortal Dynasty?"

"I don't know." She smiled bitterly, "All I know is that they say their own Immortal Dynasty is extremely powerful and can do anything."

"That's difficult then."

Xiao Ling'er pondered and said, "There are Immortal Dynasties in the southeast, northwest, as well as the eight domains of the southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, and the central region. However, the northern domain has the most Immortal Dynasties."

"More than all the other seven domains combined."

"In that case, I will go to the northern domain."

"The northern domain is the most dangerous for us," Xiao Ling'er's face tightened. "Senior sister can take you there, but you must be extremely careful."

"Also, I know you want to find your brother, but compared to the Immortal Dynasty, our current strength, including yours and mine, and even the entire Embracing Moon Sect, is like night and day. There is no chance of winning."

"Therefore, you must not act impulsively!"

"If you don't agree, it will be against the master's orders, and I won't let you leave!"

The little girl nodded, "I understand."

"I have thought it through these days."

"If I act impulsively, the only result will be following my brother, and even if my brother is still alive, I will be gone. If that happens, how sad would my brother be?"

"If we both pass away, then... who can bring my brother back?"

"So, I won't die."

"I will survive!"

"I will become the strongest in this world."

"I will... become the empress above all!"

"No matter what happens, whether my brother is dead or alive, I will bring him back."

"If he is alive, I will have a drink with him."

"If he is gone, I will go against the flow of time and bring him back, and then have a drink with him!"

The little girl's voice was very calm.

Obviously, it was not an excited speech, but a decision she had already made.

But precisely because of this, Xiao Ling'er was very surprised.

She felt like she had truly seen the shadow of that peerless empress.

Perhaps...

"Covering the Sky" is not just a story, but...

The future of the little junior sister?!

"In that case, I will take you to the northern domain."

"Okay!"

...

Half a month later.

Outside a mortal town in the northern domain.

Like a mother, Xiao Ling'er took out many objects and earnestly advised.

"This is a spirit stone. I don't have many, so I'll give them all to you. Although you can't absorb the spiritual energy inside, if you encounter danger and your spirit weapon doesn't have time to charge, you can stick it to the spirit weapon to accelerate the charging!"

"This is a Fasting Pill. If you take one, it can keep you full for a month. Remember not to take too many."

"This is a sound transmission jade talisman. This is for contacting senior sister, and this is for contacting master."

"This is..."

"But be careful not to reveal your wealth."

"Although you can't use them for now, senior sister believes that one day you will find your own path. When that time comes, remember to contact us."

"If you miss home, come back."

"Embracing Moon Sect will always be your home, and I will always be your senior sister!"

"Thank you, senior sister. I will be careful!"

"Please also tell master that Yaya is unfilial and can't serve by master's side for now, but please wait for me. One day, I will return and stay by master's side after fulfilling my aspirations."

The little girl's expression was determined, but also filled with reluctance. She almost choked up, "Yaya will never forget all of you."

After all, she was still young.

She had only experienced this kind of separation twice.

The first time was when she was separated from her brother, who she relied on for everything.

This was the second time.

"Go."

Xiao Ling'er forced herself to be firm and smiled, "You have your own world."

"I hope that one day, even if I am in the southwest domain and have been in Embracing Moon Sect for a long time, I can still hear legendary stories about you!"

...

Separation.

The little girl looked back three times, but in the end, she forced herself to wipe away the tears and walked forward with big steps.

Xiao Ling'er also disliked parting, sighed, and left.

At the city gate.

Two soldiers guarding the gate were curious when they saw the little girl dressed beautifully. One of them asked, "Little girl, you are quite bold. In this chaotic era, you dare to travel alone?"

The other person frowned, "She looks unfamiliar. An outsider?"

"You need to register to enter the city. What's your name?!"

Due to the "abundant nutrition" during this period, the little girl now looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. They didn't treat her as a five or six-year-old child.

"What's your name?"

The little girl's face was cold, showing no expression, "Ruthless."

Ruthless?

The two were stunned.

What kind of name is that?
