Under normal circumstances, if someone wants to enter the immortal cultivation world, they have to find the immortal door first and must have the destiny to become an immortal. One of the so-called immortal destiny is Spiritual Roots. So among all those who could reach the Yuhua Sect, there were very few people who had no Spiritual Roots. Not to mention the first one to climb the mountain was spiritual rootless. So, no one suspected before that she actually wouldnât have any Spiritual Roots.
The person who took the first place in the entrance examination had no Spiritual Roots, this is the first time this kind of thing happened in the whole history of the immortal cultivation world. Someone like her never appeared, so in a sense, she is really one in a million ah.
Yuan Zhao felt he was played by God as he looked at Shi Xia again. The more he looked at her, the more pity he felt. Alas, she is such a good girl, and came here after so much hardships, she even has the qualifications, her heart was clear without any impurity. But she lost in the hand of fate. She was blocked from birth from becoming an immortal, poor girl.
âSo umâŠâŠ can I ask whatâs going on?â The eyes around her were increasingly bizarre, so Shi Xia couldnât help but open her mouth to ask.
âAlas âŠâŠ little girl, this is all Heavenâs will.â Yuan Zhao sighed deeply, hesitated for a moment before finding the right words and patted her shoulder comfortingly as he explained, âYou have no Spiritual Roots, Iâm afraid âŠâŠ you canât cultivate immortality.â
Shi Xia froze only for a moment before replying indifferently, âOh.â
âYou arenât disappointed?â Yuan Zhao asked in surprise.
âWhy would I? Iâm not disappointed.â Shi Xia answered honestly. So what that she failed in the entrance exam? She didnât come here to cultivate immortality ah!
Such a good child ah! After suffering from such a big blow, there was no resentment in her heart and actually was so open-minded, why doesnât she have any Spiritual Roots!? The more Yuan Zhao saw her, the more he wanted to cry, what to do?
âBy the way!â Shi Xia suddenly remembered the main thing, âSpeaking of which, Uncle, can I ask you something?â
âGo ahead.â Poor kid, Iâll agree to anything you say.
âIs there a spell to travel through time and space? Like from one world to another world, to a completely different place?â
Yuan Zhao thought for a moment before answering, âAre you talking about the art of shrinking the earth and cutting through the void?â
âIs there really?â Shi Xia was a little excited, she could really go back!
âBut âŠâŠâ he frowned as he explained, âthis art, I only heard from others and havenât seen anyone performing. Iâm afraid that only cultivators above the stage of God Transformation will have such a divine ability.â
âThen who can use this spell?â Iâm asking for an introduction! Who is the great person that can send me home!?
âThis âŠâŠ I donât know either.â Yuan Zhao shook his head.
âOh âŠâŠâ Shi Xiaâs mood immediately dropped like an inflated balloon. She half-heartedly squeeze out a smile, âThank you ah! Then Iâll go first, Goodbye!â
She waved at everyone, turned towards the door and walked forward, without a little hesitation or reluctance.
Perhaps her qualifications were too much to be wasted. Yuan Zhao felt so saddened for her that he couldnât help but call her, âWait, little girl, although you canât cultivate immortality, but itâs not impossible to stay here. Although, you can at most be an outer disciple*, but our Yuhua Sect is full of spiritual energy, your longevity would increase.â
[T/N: Disciples who arenât taught directly by the master but senior disciples.]
Shi Xia, who had already reached the door, stopped in her tracks and shook her head, âNo, I want to go home.â It seems that the Immortal Sect is still quite friendly. Shi Xia thought in her heart.
Yuan Zhao sighed again, âIn that case âŠâŠ then you go, there will be disciples under the mountain to send you back.â
âOkay, thanks!â Shi Xia enthusiastically replied to him as she opened the door.
âBy the way, little girl, whatâs your name?â
âMy name is Shi Xia.â
âOh, so you âŠâŠâ he paused mid sentence as his eyes snapped open and he asked in astonishment, âWhatâs your name?!â
âShi Xia, huh?â
The hall was dead silent. Just as it was before when she first came here.
A dozen pairs of eyes once again stared at her in unison, and the hall, which was warm a moment ago, cooled down to the freezing point in an instant.
Shi Xiaâs heart trembled, she suddenly had a sense of foreboding. Is it an illusion? How does she feel that the hall began to emit a murderous aura?
âSheâs Shi Xia, catch her!â The kind Yuan Zhaoâs face suddenly twisted viciously as he commanded in a fierce voice to the people present in the hall. A dozen people in the room suddenly stood up in unison, and at the same time, the sound of weapons burst in the silence hall. A dozen light flashes in the hall and when Shi Xia looked over, she saw there were countless magic weapons hovering in the air just in front of her. The weapons was of various kinds. Each one was glowing with a blinding light, red, white, green, yellow, what color werenât there.
Shi Xia still hadnât reacted but she could see all those weapons were aimed at her with âfull of killing qiâ.
What is going on? What did she say wrong? Can someone explain!
âShe is not allowed to escape!â Yuan Zhao gave another roar, waved his hand and gave a command. All the weapons hovering before her flew towards her in unison.
What is this situation ah hello? At least explain something, kind Uncle!
Unfortunately, she was not given any time to protest. She could only watch as a dozen or so murderous weapons flew towards her to turn her into a hedgehog.
Damn! Where did all your friendlyness go!?
Those weapons were flying towards her with astonishing speed. But suddenly a piercing chill came from behind her. A pillar of white light fell from the doorway and directly swept the entire hall. All the weapons flying towards her stopped, as if a paused button was pressed, and didnât move an inch.
Shi Xia looked at the frozen weapons just an inch from her with wide eyes. She could still feel the murderous aura coming from them. She hurriedly too several steps back, and gasped a few breaths, her legs turning soft.
âTai Shizu!â Yuan Zhao was startled, âWhat are you doing here?â
Shi Xia looked in front of her and realised that there was a person in front of her whom she didnât know when came. The person was dressed in white from top to bottom and was standing with his back on her. Shi Xia couldnât help but stare at the person, why does his back look a bit familiar?
The man in white ignored Yuan Zhao, instead turned his head and looked at the person behind him.
Shi Xia froze, wasnât he the same white-clothed ancestor who saved her and Big Meow from that Black Fury? Why is he here?
âTai Shizu.â Yuan Zhao eagerly took a few steps forward, âThis person, we had to get rid of her ah âŠâŠâ
The white-clothed man still did not answer and just stared at Shi Xia, unblinking. His face was obviously expressionless, but Shi Xia felt the look of his eyes couldnât be more cold, even the surrounding air, which only felt a little cold, was freezing now. His whole body was emitting a murderous coldness that was frightening to look at.
This person wouldnât kill me, right? Shi Xia couldnât help but reassure herself in her heart but her body still shivered in fear. Is it too late to escape now?
Shi Xia was contemplating how to get out in this situation when the person in front of suddenly moved. In reflex, Shi Xia took a step back but the person stood in front of her and picked her up like a child.
Before leaving the hall, he only left a sentence, âThis person, I will take care of her!â
The next moment, he disappeared, taking Shi Xia with him.
The only thing that was left in the hall was full of immortal cultivators and their frozen weapons in the air. As soon as he left, all the weapons fell down on the ground, in front of the group of immortals who were looking at each other dumbly.
****
Shi Xia was carried on his hands, yes, she was carried on his hands not arms. Just like she used to carry the stupid cat of her brother. She was carried to a house, probably owned by the Great Ancestor and was thrown onto the bed.
The bed was a stone bed, so when she was thrown over, she felt her heart, lungs, liver, all her internal organs shake in pain. But she didnât dare rub to soothe the pain. Her heart was pounding in fear in front of the living refrigerator like man.
She would love to talk to him about life, about the importance of human harmony and fraternity in order to develop a better relationship and build a peaceful society together. She had no problems in guiding him to a better, harmless, bloodless path. But she didnât dare to open her mouth, because the other partyâs eyes were too intimidating.
She could see knives were thrown at her from his eyes. If looks could kill people, she would have been chopped in countless pieces already. Behind him, she could also see his murderous aura being magnified âŠâŠ magnified âŠâŠ magnified âŠâŠ
Shi Xia couldnât help but shiver and shrink inward. Although the man didnât speak, his facial expression wasnât good either. His pair of dark eyes were staring at her unblinkingly for at least half an hour ah! Now even she began to reflect if she had done anything wrong that was unforgiving for him to stare at her like that.
She heard that eyes can kill people but never believed it. Now she believes it.
Since the person wasnât doing anything except staring at her, Shi Xia also thought of taking a good look at him.
Just when she was taking a look at his face, the person suddenly moved and took a step forward.
Although his movement was small, it was enough to make the already trembling Shi Xia tremble even more to the point of heart attack.
Seeing him approaching her and imagining her impending doom, she made a bold decision. She immediately sat down on the ground on her knees, used all her acting skills to squeeze a few drops of tears and shouted, âGreat Ancestor, I was wrong!â
No matter what she had done, it is always right to admit her mistake!
The other partyâs footsteps stopped and seemed to be frozen just in front of her kneeling figure.
Shi Xia thought he would be happy to see her kneeling in front of him and admitting her mistake. But he frowned even more and his face turned uglier.
Shi Xiaâs heart cooled down in an instant. Was her attitude of begging forgiveness not sincere enough? Boss, can she do it again?
The other side didnât say anything to her, just stared at her for a while and disappeared the next second with a âwhooshâ.
Shi Xia: âŠâŠ
He is gone? Why the hell he is gone? Did he capture her just to â practice killing with his eyes?
This person âŠâŠ Maybe sick in the head, right?
****
Shi Xia didnât saw that strange Tai Shizu again in the past two days, but there was no doubt that she was imprisoned. She didnât have enough courage to escape so she could only spend her time thinking what happened. Why was she capture? Why did those immortals react that way hearing her name? She really couldnât understand what had she done to make those people so hostile towards her that they want to poke her to death.
She always believed that she was brave person, there is no matter that cannot be explained, no misunderstanding that cannot be solved, no corner that cannot be dug, butâŠâŠ It seemed she was wrong?
That Tai Shizu was a little, no, a lot scary, but he didnât look like an unreasonable person. She just needed to stay still untill he came back and explain the situation.
But her plans couldnât catch up with the change, two days later, she had no choice but to climb out of that room.
Because she was dying of hunger, she never dreamed that they actually wouldnât deliver any food to her. This old society is so devoid of human rights! When she reached the door while grumbling inside, she saw that the door wasnât locked at all. She just pushed and it opened. This was simply trampling on her strict respect as a prisoner!
Shi Xia pressed her belly that was full of fire, both in hunger and anger. This immortal cultivation vocational and technical college instantly reached the lowest point in her mind. She indignantly intended to find the head of the prison to talk about the value of human life, but when she went outside, she found that outside the house was a large area of grass. She walked for almost half a day but didnât see a single living being let alone any human. Shi Xia was so hungry that she was dizzy, just when she thought she would die out of hunger, she saw a small vegetable patch ahead.
