Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 391 - 377 Trivial Matters

Nine Heavens Peak.

During the time Alkaid ruled the Southern Capital, he purged hundreds of merchant guilds that did not follow his orders. The territories occupied by these guilds were all confiscated by the Territory Lord's Mansion, so much so that now, in the Southern Capital that stretched over thirty thousand li, a total of six thousand li in radius were completely under the ownership of the Territory Lord's Mansion.

Out of this expanse of six thousand li, a portion was designated as public areas, which included many external shops, cave dwellings, and so forth.

However, about three thousand li were entirely stationed by members from the Nine Cauldrons Sect.

Within this three thousand li, there were hundreds of big and small mountain peaks, each inhabited by people.

Nine Heavens Peak was one among them.

And it was the tallest one.

The range of the mountain peak exceeded six hundred li.

Basically, those residing on this mountain peak were closely related to the Domain Master Alkaid and were the core individuals of the Nine Cauldrons Sect.

At this moment, in an attic at the summit of the mountain, Su Yaoqin was leaning against the balcony, watching the endlessly surging sea of clouds in the distance.

In the sea of clouds, various spiritual beasts continuously danced, and occasionally, some carriages and flashes of swords would briefly appear.

At this time, a series of footsteps approached.

Dressed in white robes, carrying a long sword, and appearing fairy-like, Su Yaoshuang walked over.

"It seems like you didn't attend the lecture today, what are you thinking about?" she asked.

Su Yaoshuang sat down next to her.

However, Su Yaoqin did not respond but just glanced at her, "You are still the same as before, very concerned about your appearance and outer look, even the cultivation path you chose is mainly focused on shaping and nurturing qi."

"Previously?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoshuang was slightly stunned, quickly recalling something.

The 'previously' she mentioned...

Must have been during the time in Dayu Country of the Alkaid Realm.

Back then, as a daughter of the Su Family, she indeed placed great importance on her own appearance and figure.

To maintain her physique and complexion, she was extremely strict with herself regarding her diet and lifestyle.

But now...

She smiled, "Why suddenly bring up this matter?"

"Just feeling a bit emotional," replied Su Yaoqin.

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoshuang fell silent for a moment, "Thinking of the Alkaid Realm, thinking of grandfather and the others?"

"Not exactly thinking, but since following... following the Nine Cauldrons Sect to the Northern Sea Star, everything in our lives has been like a dream, a legend. Everything we have experienced, in the Alkaid Realm, in Tian Nan Province, is almost unimaginable..." Su Yaoqin said, stressing her tone, "Indeed, unimaginable. In those days, even if we exhausted our imaginations, we could not have envisioned achieving what we have today."

She extended her hand, and a flame directly converged in her palm, "Not only do we contain power nearly equivalent to a mini stellar in our bodies, but a single action placed outside the Northern Sea Star can move mountains and fill seas. We have also travelled countless light-years across the universe, from the Alkaid Realm to Cangwu Realm, then from Cangwu Realm to Northern Sea Star... Everything is like a dream! These experiences and the overwhelming information have long washed away the sorrow of our family members' passing..."

She paused, "After all... in Tian Nan, it was just us sisters depending on each other. No one else, including grandfather, really cared much about us."

Saying this, she withdrew the flame from her hand and smiled, "I even feel that as long as big sister is around, there is a home. Big sister has always managed our lives perfectly well, even now on Northern Sea Star."

Listening to Su Yaoqin, Su Yaoshuang thought about all the ways their big sister took care of their lives and could not help but smile as well.

Her smile was very gentle and warm.

"Remember, back in the Tian Nan era, didn't we all dislike big sister a bit? We thought she was too controlling, like an old mother..." Su Yaoshuang responded with a smile.

"Yes, wasn't that our rebellious phase? We were really disobedient then. But looking back now, I'm truly grateful that big sister was there to take care of us. Otherwise, we can't even imagine what we would have become," spoke Su Yaoqin.

"Just like two kids," Su Yaoshuang smiled and nodded.

The faces of the two no longer showed any trace of the untamed defiance and rebellious spirit from their days in Tian Nan.

Even the emotions of displeasure they once harbored against each other were gone, replaced purely by the warmth and closeness of family that had always been by their sides.

At this moment, Su Yaoqin seemed to have thought of something, "Speaking of big sister being like an old mother, isn't third brother somewhat like..."

"Like," Su Yaoshuang knew what she wanted to say and smiled with a nod, "Although we seldom see him, he has done very well... after all, he has never owed us anything."

Su Yaoqin nodded, "The insights from the cultivation of the Mysterious Origin Creation Technique were supposedly given by second sister, but in reality, she didn't have such a deep understanding of the technique at that time. It was clearly third brother who passed it on. He didn't want us to be dependent, so he had second sister hand these insights to us... Compared to big sister, who was involved in all aspects of our lives, he taught us about growing independently. He armed us, ensuring that even if we were alone outside, we would still have the ability to protect ourselves."

Looking at her, Su Yaoshuang said with a smile, "You've grown up."

"It's just understanding the difficulties of others, beginning to think about issues from other people's perspectives," said Su Yaoqin.

She looked up at the distant sea of clouds, "Although I've looked at it more than once, every time I see it, I can't help but be moved by its beauty."

"Very beautiful," Su Yaoshuang nodded, also gazing into the distance and at the sky above, where patterns flowed like a transparent river.

Those were traces manifested by the highly concentrated spiritual energy.

"If not for third brother, we would never have seen such beautiful sights in our lifetime," she added.

"To entrust a mayfly to the universe is like considering a grain of sand in the vast ocean."

The two were conversing.

Then, they just sat on the balcony, looking out into the distance.

One must always look forward in life.

Parting and death, old age and sickness, are all inevitable.

But life offers more than just love, hatred, and familial concerns.

The universe, the sun and moon, the stars in the sky.

Each grandeur and vastness can cleanse the trivial human spirit, truly opening our minds.

Floating in the universe, humans are but specks of dust.

Rather than being mired in the sorrow of parting, why not look at the world with a sincere heart and embrace the beauty and wonder of all things?

...

Not far from this loft,

Lin Xia and Su Yaoxue were practicing their swordsmanship.

Both of them had achieved the Blazing White Golden Core.

It seems unbelievable to reach the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm from the Foundation Establishment Realm in such a short time, but...

The entire cultivation environment in Northern Sea Star was just too favorable.

With treasures bestowed by Alkaid and resources allocated by the Sect, they could freely use the Pure Yang Great Pills, making their evolution into Blazing White Golden Cores a natural outcome.

It's like those ancient officials who stood at the pinnacle of power—they probably didn't live as well as common people today.

This is a transformation brought about by changes in social environments.

Similarly, bringing someone from ten thousand years in the future back to our time, the miracles they could show would effortlessly overturn anyone's imagination, just as easily as a modern person learning arithmetic once regarded as the pinnacle of ancient wisdom.

Not to say it was utterly effortless, but it was indeed smooth sailing.

After a while, the two finished their duel.

"It looks like you'll enter the Deep Blue Golden Core Realm faster than I will,"

Lin Xia said.

Su Yaoxue didn't deny it but modestly responded, "Lin Xia, your talent surpasses mine. Though I've progressed further in this realm, it won't take you long to catch up to me."

Lin Xia just smiled, "How big can the gap in our talents be? Maybe just a few dozen more Pure Yang Great Pills will narrow it."

After saying that, she added, "But at this rate, me achieving the Deep Blue Golden Core is only a matter of time. In the future... I might even aim for the Hollow Void Realm."

"You definitely can,"

Su Yaoxue said, "We can both reach the Hollow Void and enjoy eternal life."

"Eternal life... "

Listening to Su Yaoxue, Lin Xia felt emotional, "Humans living for ten thousand years... it was unimaginable back in the day. Our recorded history isn't even ten thousand years old, yet by reaching the Hollow Void, one can live even longer than all our recorded civilizations."

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoxue nodded, "Not only living for thousands of years but also wielding such immense power... Before stepping onto the path of cultivation, walking a bit further would tire us out, eating carelessly could upset our stomachs, irregular habits would lead to body aches, lack of sleep would drain our energy, not to mention catching a cold from a breeze or being tormented by a fever of 40 degrees..."

She stretched out her hand, gazing at her arm as pale and smooth as jade, "Now, not only are we free from illnesses and pains, healthy and long-lived, we also possess great strength, unafraid of wild beasts, venomous insects, floods, and flames, and capable of journeying across the sky and sailing the seas... All these changes came from cultivation."

"Indeed."

Mortals are too fragile.

Compared to when they were mortals, their current state was unimaginable.

At that moment, Su Yaoyu approached with a smile and said, "I've just discussed with True Monarch Li Hanqiu. The True Monarch plans to go to the Three Pure Sanctuaries to purchase a batch of Three Pure Enlightenment Pills. These pills can easily inspire cultivators, enhancing their cultivation. Once we get these pills, you'll probably think of a way to break through the limits of Golden Core soon, from Blazing White Golden Core to the Deep Blue Golden Core Realm."

"Three Pure Enlightenment Pill?"

Lin Xia was slightly surprised, "I've heard of this Elixir, its price exceeds 3000 Pure Yang Great Pills, equivalent to over a century's income during the Cloudsoar Sword Sect era. Using such pills for us... is it appropriate?"

"3000 Pure Yang Great Pills!?"

Su Yaoyu was also shocked.

She had experienced the early days when the Nine Heavens Sect first arrived at Northern Sea Star, and knew very well how staggering such an amount was from her time in the Cloud River mountains.

She never thought...

That the pills they used now had become incredibly costly.

It took her a while to utter, "This must have been approved by Alkaid already."

"Sect Leader Alkaid..."

When Su Yaoxue mentioned that name,

She, along with everyone else, knew very well that all the changes they had experienced came from Alkaid.

It was because of him they could encounter this splendid world, live such a miraculous life,

And enjoy a treatment and lifestyle unimaginable even to major Sects with true transmissions.

Her gaze moved towards the central peak of the Territory Lord's Mansion, wanting nothing more than to tell him one thing.

"We are all doing very well now."
