The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

Chapter 167 No More Connections

"What do you mean, 'what should I do'? It's you who should do what, isn't it? Is your life less important than a pill?" Zhao Tianming said angrily.

"presumptuous!"

She Jingxi instantly unleashed her full aura, and Zhao Tianming immediately knelt on the ground.

"So, you're just an ungrateful person after all! If you have the guts, then kill me!" Zhao Tianming decided to throw caution to the wind, but Qian Muli saw all of this.

She Jingxi ultimately did not kill Zhao Tianming, and instead left behind a pill.

"I can give you the pills, but I will not handle the matter of killing Chen Xuan for you. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianming frowned immediately: "What? You're not going to kill Chen Xuan?! Are you kidding me? Wasn't this something we agreed on from the beginning?"

"Hmph, Zhao Tianming, I always have my own principles. Now that I've agreed to this, the past is wiped clean! Chen Xuan is now my... subordinate, and I will protect him and won't let you hurt him!" She Jingxi said coldly.

"What?! You still want to protect him? Don't you know he's my enemy?" Zhao Tianming was both shocked and furious.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just order me to kill whoever you want? Do you think you're worthy?" She Jingxi said coldly, then turned and left.

She Jingxi's words shocked Zhao Tianming. He realized that the Empress Dowager seemed to be different from before. She had changed, becoming more assertive and unshakeable.

He didn't understand why She Jingxi had changed her attitude, but he didn't mind attributing it all to Chen Xuan.

He then picked up the pill, watching She Jingxi's departing figure, and thought to himself, "She Jingxi, and Chen Xuan, you just wait. One day, I will make you regret your decision today! One day!"

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan and Liu Yuning were diligently cultivating, preparing for the upcoming sect competition finals.

"Ding! The chosen one Zhao Tianming and the most crucial opportunity in his life, She Jingxi, are no longer connected. The plot has undergone a major change. Zhao Tianming's luck value is deducted, and the host is rewarded with destiny value, 15 lottery draws, a large spiritual vein, and 4 years of cultivation!"

"Huh? What's going on?" Chen Xuan suddenly stopped.

"Eek, what's going on? You need to...you need to break through quickly!" Liu Yuning complained.

"Alright, alright, I won't get distracted. Here's your move!"

……

As evening approached, Liu Yuning nestled in Chen Xuan's arms, her arms wrapped around his neck.

"You say you don't miss me? I haven't even started meditating and cultivating yet, and you're already impatient. Is that what you call not missing me?"

"Ugh! Ugh, ugh, ugh!"

Liu Yuning blushed and bit Chen Xuan hard before stopping.

"By the way, I have something important to discuss with you!"

"What could you possibly have to do? Besides that, what else could you possibly be doing?" Sect Leader Liu glanced at Chen Xuan.

"Snapped!"

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"I never imagined I was so worthless in your eyes. It seems I need to assert my authority as your husband!"

"No, I was wrong, husband, spare me! I'll be good!" Liu Yuning quickly begged for mercy.

After this brief separation, she finally understood what Chen Xuan meant to her. Although she was confused when he bullied her last time, she didn't resist him at all, which proved everything.

"This is really a very important matter."

"Okay, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening carefully."

"I'll be leaving soon, so you should get ready too."

"Leave? Where can you go? Do you think you can just disappear from this world?" Liu Yuning pouted.

"Hey, you were right! I'll be heading to the Upper Realm soon."

"You? I'm not trying to discourage you, but how do you expect to get up there? My Mountain and Sea Realm hasn't produced a Nascent Soul cultivator in many years! Even if there were, they would quickly disappear without a trace! Let alone the Upper Realm!"

"Snapped!"

"Hey!"

"Just listen to me!"

"Oh."

"The Mountain and Sea Realm we are in is nothing more than a secret realm kept by people from the Upper Realm! Those cultivators you mentioned who disappeared after reaching the Nascent Soul stage were all taken away by people from the Upper Realm, nothing more!"

"What?! This, how is this possible! What happened to them afterwards?"

"Later? Later he became a guest elder of a great family in the Upper Realm. The most precious thing in this Mountain and Sea Realm is the people of the Upper Realm, so they themselves are the most precious thing." Chen Xuan said calmly.

This was all information he learned during his conversations with Zhu Zhu and She Jingxi. As for why She Jingxi didn't go to the cultivation world, it was because the Zhang family above still needed an eye to keep an eye on the lower realm, and She Jingxi, being a demon beast with a long lifespan, was naturally the best candidate.

Another point is that if locals go to the upper realm and then come down, they will face resistance from the Mountain and Sea Realm. However, She Jingxi has never been to the upper realm, so she naturally does not face any so-called rejection.

Furthermore, every time the Zhang family descended to the mortal realm, they would bring She Jingxi a considerable amount of resources for her cultivation, which is why she was allowed to stay in the mortal realm.

Very few people knew this secret, and they all kept it to themselves. Over time, no one knew the mystery of the disappearance of the Divine Transformation.

"But you're not at the Nascent Soul stage, so why are you allowed to go to the Upper Realm?"

"That so-called new emperor Dai Dabai, he is someone who came down from the upper realm. I used a little trick and he decided to take me up there. It's that simple."

"I see." Liu Yuning instantly became very disappointed.

"Oh, I see. I told you to get ready too. Resign from your position as sect leader and find someone to take your place. You're coming up with me!"

"Huh? Me, can I go too? He can bring a lot of people up?"

"He can't, but I can! You just need to take good care of our belongings, and the sect will handle everything!" Chen Xuan smiled confidently.

"This……"

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you're reluctant to give up the position of sect leader! But even if you are, you still have to listen to me! I'm informing you, not begging you!"

"I know, that's really domineering! But this happened too suddenly, I need to go back now, this sect competition..."

"You don't need to worry about it. I'll handle it all. As for those few unremarkable people from the sect, let them have their fun!"

"Okay then~_~"

"Ah."

"By the way, what will happen to Wanqing if we leave? She's really gone; she's been like a ghost lately, and I can't get in touch with her no matter what I do!"

"Well, actually she's always been with me, but I haven't let her out."

Liu Yuning: "???"
