Chapter 1005: Chapter 973: Heaven Mending Saint Realm’s Reaction

According to the system panel display, the Cyan Mountain Sect’s data in all aspects showed continuous growth, with an annual income alone reaching over eight million spirit stones, and stored spirit stones exceeding one hundred million.

In the sect resources column, Lu Ping noticed the addition of the Ice Flood Dragon Stone Ore Vein, indicating rapid development within the sect during his thirteen years of secluded cultivation, exploring new ore vein resources.

Additionally, a dialog box from the system mall popped up. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

[Sect Level Upgrade, System Mall upgraded to Six-Star, capable of refreshing Seven-Star items]

[Due to the system mall upgrade, refreshing the mall requires 50 reputation points each time]

As Lu Ping broke through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, the system’s level was also upgraded, allowing the system mall to refresh Seven-Star items.

Lu Ping had no immediate desire to refresh the system, after thirteen years of secluded cultivation, he was eager to return to the Cyan Mountain Sect to have a look.

Apart from the system and mall dialog boxes, there was a series of exchanged ore pop-ups as well, such as completed doorway affairs and the Cyan Lotus Mountain Spiritual Vein level upgraded to Tier Five High-Grade, etc.

Whether it was doorway affairs or the enhancement of the Cyan Lotus Mountain Spiritual Vein, these were decisions Lu Ping had made long before his secluded cultivation.

Now, thirteen years have passed, and these have all been completed.

A total of thirty-plus dialog boxes popped up, as if after a long time offline, a great number of message pop-ups appeared upon logging in.

Lu Ping clicked open and examined them one by one, the majority being completion pop-ups of various doorway affairs.

Among them, what caught Lu Ping’s attention the most was the feedback from the item [Six-Star - More Children, More Blessings].

The effect of this item was to increase the probability of a sect member having offspring and enhance the likelihood of their children possessing a spirit root.

Lu Ping applied this item to Lu Yuanshan because Liiu Qiumei was the Sect Leader’s Wife, thus this effect could also be shared with Liiu Qiumei.

[You gain a grandson, Lu Zhiyun. Lu Zhiyun possesses Fire and Gold Dual Spirit Roots, coupled with an excellent talent in alchemy.]

"Lu Zhiyun, Yuanshan’s second son, I have a grandson now."

Upon seeing this dialog box, Lu Ping’s expression turned joyful, a smile emerged at the corner of his mouth.

"Nian Mei possesses an Innate Dao Body and Water Attribute Celestial Spirit Root. Although Zhiyun’s spirit root may not match Nian Mei’s, the Fire and Gold Attribute spirit root aligns well with alchemy and artifact refining, and Zhiyun already has a talent in alchemy. Excellent, excellent."

Lu Ping couldn’t help but smile, knowing that he wouldn’t judge his grandson solely on whether he possesses a spirit root.

Achieving success in life is not only attainable through cultivation, nor does embarking on the path of cultivation equate to fulfillment; even without a spirit root, living a happy and fulfilling life is also quite good.

After spending some time reviewing numerous system dialog boxes, Lu Ping decided to embark on a journey back to Lingxi State.

Not only did reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage enhance his strength, but his flight speed also experienced a phenomenal leap, allowing him to travel one hundred thousand miles a day.

However, Shuanghu Mountain is extremely distant from Lingxi State, and the three major maritime regions—Vast Tide Sea, Outer Sea, and Qingli Sea—that separate the Central Ancestral Realm and Lingxi State together cover a terrifying area of over a billion miles.

Lu Ping naturally wouldn’t rely solely on flying such a long distance himself but rather utilize the teleportation array to instantly reach Lingxi State.

After notifying the Void Celestial Extreme Saint, Lu Ping embarked on his journey to the Heaven Mending Saint Realm that very day.

Upon arrival at the Heaven Mending Saint Realm, after informing them about using the teleportation array, the disciple responsible for receiving Lu Ping showed a respectful demeanor, having met Lu Ping before.

"Senior, the teleportation array to Lingxi State is currently undergoing maintenance and will be available shortly. We ask for your patience, Senior."

This disciple was quite astute, finding an excuse to temporarily have Lu Ping wait a moment before reporting to the sect.

Recently, all disciples guarding the teleportation array were instructed by the sect that upon spotting Lu Ping, they should immediately report to the sect.

Lu Ping’s breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Stage at Shuanghu Mountain is rapidly spreading through the Central Ancestral Realm, as if it grew wings.

As a top local sect, the Heaven Mending Saint Realm naturally learned of this news at the earliest and subsequently kept an eye on Lu Ping.

Expecting Lu Ping to soon return to Lingxi State, Shui Wuyue, the current Sect Leader of the Heaven Mending Saint Realm, issued early orders to have disciples temporarily keep Lu Ping here like now.

Thus, the disciple didn’t dare to neglect their duty; upon seeing Lu Ping, they immediately reported the matter to the sect.

It’s impossible to offend a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, so their words were full of respect, displaying a lowly posture.

Noticing this reaction, an excuse of array maintenance offered at the precise moment he wished to use it, Lu Ping’s attention shifted slightly to find other Heaven Mending Saint Realm disciples around him also showing utmost respect, some even with welcoming smiles and signs of goodwill.

This was quite unusual; it seemed likely that the news of his breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Stage had reached the Heaven Mending Saint Realm, and they were particularly waiting for him to use the teleportation array.

Understanding the underlying reason, Lu Ping said nothing further, silently waiting in place.

As a top force managing sixteen teleportation arrays, the number of Heaven Mending Saint Realm disciples sent to guard here was substantial.

Bored, Lu Ping casually observed and discovered that the lowest strength among them was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with the highest at the Third-Layer Golden Core.

A total of over sixty Heaven Mending Saint Realm disciples stationed here managed the teleportation arrays, each with their own duties.

Currently within Lingxi State, only the Heaven-Facing Sect constructed a cross-state teleportation array, initially built by the Heaven Mending Saint Realm through passing down inheritance, providing materials and construction plans, allowing Taiqi Peak to handle the construction.

Back then, Lu Ping had the idea of constructing one or two teleportation arrays in the Cyan Mountain Sect, meeting the requirements for instant teleportation to the Central Ancestral Realm.

However, these precious strategic resources like teleportation arrays are tough to obtain, leaving this idea temporarily shelved.

Yet now, given the Heaven Mending Saint Realm is deliberately keeping him, they likely aim to recruit instead of offend.

Sure enough, after a brief wait, a familiar figure appeared from afar, prompting the surrounding Heaven Mending Saint Realm disciples to hurriedly bow and pay respects.

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

The visitor was none other than Shui Wuyue, the Sect Leader of the Heaven Mending Saint Realm.

Seeing Shui Wuyue appear surprised Lu Ping somewhat; originally, he thought the Heaven Mending Saint Realm might send an elder to invite him for discussions, not expecting Shui Wuyue to personally arrive.

Shui Wuyue wore a water-blue long robe, his head adorned with the Sect Leader’s Crown, his demeanor carrying authority, as he slowly flew to Lu Ping on a cyan jade hairpin.
