Chapter 520 You Get Everything Too Easily
The Zhong family crest consists of one symbol of power and two symbols of destiny.
When a member of the Zhong family meets someone he admires, he will present an item bearing the family crest to express his love and affection; it is a token of lifelong betrothal.
If Zhong Nanchu had previously suspected that Master Qingzhi had ulterior motives and why only Master Qingzhi could touch the sword of the Zhong family's elders, he now completely understood.
My heart is filled with countless sorrows, yet I have only one person to lean on.
Red tassels symbolize a happy marriage; your heart is like mine.
Master...
Qingzhi glanced at the two people running over, casually sheathed his sword, and with a flick of his long sleeve, set up a barrier around the unconscious Jiang Yueming.
Jiang Liqian stared blankly at the scorched earth after being burned by the heavenly lightning, completely unable to understand why heavenly lightning had suddenly struck.
Could it be related to her taking Jiang Yueming's heart?
"Head..."
Qingzhi flicked his sleeves and walked over to her, stepping over the broken stones on the ground. A hint of sternness flashed in his cold eyes, but he quickly concealed it by closing his eyes: "Li'er, do you know what the Nascent Soul stage is?"
Jiang Liqian pursed her lips tightly, lowered her eyes, and bowed her head respectfully as a disciple, replying, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, the Divine Transformation Realm is the fifth of the nine realms. The body transforms into an object, and the realm transforms into a god. It is the most crucial realm for getting rid of the mortal body and moving towards immortality. Once you pass through this realm, the gate to immortality opens, your lifespan is extended, and you will not remember the years."
"You've always remembered the knowledge from books very well, you can't forget what you read, and you understand every word clearly." Qingzhi looked down at the meek girl in front of him, his voice cold and laced with rare sarcasm, "But you have no heart for cultivation, no interest in practice. You just rely on your good aptitude, high talent, and heaven-sent qualities that are beyond ordinary people, so you act recklessly and without any scruples. You never have any reverence or remorse for cultivation, and you have no perseverance or willpower. You don't care, and you often feel burdened."
"Do you know how diligently others outside of you, whether they are disciples from the inner or outer sects, or even your own disciples, cultivate, risk their lives to break through to higher realms, and work day and night without rest?"
"Do you know how brutal the competition is for a disciple of the Miscellaneous Peak to get more cultivation resources and more opportunities to improve his physique and spiritual root grade? Every blade of grass and every tree in the Tianqian Sect is taken care of by disciples of the Miscellaneous Peak. And this is something they have fought desperately round after round within the peak to get, just for a little more sect points so they can enter a cultivation room with more spiritual energy."
"If you didn't have a lightning spiritual root, if you only had a low-level mixed spiritual root, could you still live peacefully on the Array Peak, act willfully and recklessly, and have everyone treat you politely and turn a blind eye?"
"You've gotten everything too easily: magic treasures, spirit stones, your master, fellow disciples of the same realm, the qualification for the ancient secret realm... That's why you're so weak-willed, fickle-minded, mentally unstable, and complacent!"
"Do you even know what kind of cultivation you're pursuing, or what kind of immortal you're trying to become?"
Jiang Liqian looked up abruptly, and when she met Qingzhi's cold and disappointed gaze, she couldn't help but take a step back, her whole body trembling.
She felt a tightness in her chest, a breath that suffocated her, preventing her from looking him in the eye with composure and telling him with conviction that she wasn't that kind of person!
She also cultivated diligently, practiced swordsmanship day and night, and, like all the disciples of the sect, eagerly absorbed techniques, cultivation methods, and immortal arts... She did not do nothing and only received support from others!
She was the one who rescued her fellow disciples from the brink of death multiple times, she was the one who tirelessly taught her junior disciples, and she was the one who selflessly dedicated countless resources from the secret realm!
What kind of cultivation does she practice?
What kind of immortal did she become?
Her path was severed by him, her beloved master; her immortality was pierced by the swords of the people she trusted most, her fellow disciples. What right does he have to stand here and question her?
Because of rebirth.
Just because this life isn't the previous one?
Then what about the suffering she endured?
—But, but, what did she do in her second life?
Jiang Liqian looked around blankly and helplessly, trying to grasp something, but unable to grasp anything at all.
It seems she has lived a very long time in this life.
It's as if they never truly came alive.
She still doesn't dare to retrieve her beloved sword with her own hands.
She no longer cultivated diligently as she had in her previous life, nor did she eagerly seek out secret treasures and realms.
Every step she took seemed to be as if she were being pushed along.
If it weren't for the inner demon that devours others, she would never have been able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage in such a short time. If it weren't for her master's doting love and her senior brothers and sisters' favoritism, she wouldn't have been able to live without any worries about making a living.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liqian staggered, instinctively wanting to avoid thinking about these issues anymore.
What kind of cultivation does she practice?
What kind of immortal did she become?
She doesn't know, and she doesn't want to know!
"Sect Leader," she forced a not-too-bad expression, "are you using this inexplicable heavenly lightning to deliberately frame me? Are you settling a personal score because you feel I offended your supreme authority? You..."
"Junior Sister Jiang!" Zhong Nanchu stared in shock, then quickly came over and tugged at her arm.
Has she gone mad?
If he was previously shocked that the sect leader, who was never polite or talkative, would suddenly attack Jiang Liqian and say so many harsh words, he was now shocked that Jiang Liqian dared to lose face in front of the sect leader and directly question him, without any regard for the difference in their status.
Moreover, he always felt that Jiang Liqian seemed to harbor an inexplicable resentment towards the sect leader.
When resentment and hatred reach their extremes, isn't it because the feelings for each other have also reached their extremes? Otherwise, where would the resentment and hatred come from?
But... Jiang Liqian and the sect leader have met no more than five times so far, right?
Besides...
Zhong Nanchu thought of the question the sect leader had just asked Jiang Liqian, and tried to express his understanding. Firstly, he wanted to ease the tense atmosphere, and secondly, he hoped that the sect leader would forgive Jiang Liqian's disrespect because he had answered on her behalf.
He bowed to the sect leader and said, "Master, Junior Sister Jiang is very intelligent, but she is sometimes arrogant and overlooks some things. I am dull-witted and my cultivation is not good enough, but I am willing to answer your question for her."
He paused, glanced at Jiang Liqian beside him, and said with his head down, "I once planted a sapling by the stream. Later, the willow tree grew into a shady tree, providing shade for me. I think this is what Heaven calls the Tree of Cause and Effect."
"The so-called realm of divine transformation, according to my understanding of cultivation, is that one has transcended one's own limitations and entered the realm of half-immortals. One is in harmony with the fortunes of heaven and earth. Every word, action, and movement may be different from the fate of heaven and earth. Therefore, one is easily entangled in cause and effect and is tightly bound by the heavenly way. Defying the heavens to cultivate immortality is subject to the rules and it is difficult to break free. Once one goes astray, it will cause immeasurable consequences, harm the fortune of others, and ruin one's own path to immortality."
