Invincible Dad-Chapter 607: Destined with Me_1

Neither Yiyi nor Qian Xiao replied, both feeling a little embarrassed. Is our auntie being a bit too cautious?

「Ten minutes later.」

After harvesting all one thousand-plus stalks of Primordial Grass from the Spiritual Field, Yiyi patted the dirt off her hands. "Auntie, they’re all picked!"

"Mhm." Ruan Lan hummed in acknowledgment. But instead of returning to Chang’an as planned, she started wandering around the Spiritual Field. After a long while, she finally said, "Let’s figure out a way to dig up this field and take it with us."

Yiyi was dumbfounded. Qian Xiao, who was sweating profusely, stammered, "Auntie, isn’t... isn’t this a bit much?"

"Little Qian, are you stupid?" Ruan Lan asked without batting an eye. "Think about it. The Spiritual Energy on the Moon is so barren. Doesn’t that make this Spiritual Field incredibly rare?"

"Of course, it’s rare..."

"Even though we took the Primordial Grass, the Moon Clan could just plant other Spirit Plants here in the future," Ruan Lan said, her voice filled with profound grief. "Every single natural treasure grown in this field would become logistical support for the Moon Clan’s future attacks on Chang’an City!"

"I’m not taking this field because I think it’s valuable, nor because I want to bring it home to auction it off. I certainly have no selfish motives," she said, her voice ringing with conviction. "I’m doing this for Earth, for Hua Country, for Chang’an!

"This is all about undermining the Moon Clan!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Qian Xiao was speechless, at a complete loss for words. Yiyi simply pressed a hand to her forehead. "Auntie, please stop talking. Just dig."

"Digging would be exhausting," Ruan Lan mused, stroking her chin. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "I’ve got it! There’s a transfer Formation... I think I can work it out." Her expression grew serious as she considered it. "Yes, I think this could actually work..."

Although Ruan Lan often acted flippantly, she was actually quite skilled in her study of Formations. Within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the entire Spiritual Field was absorbed into her Formation Chessboard.

Ruan Lan was delighted. "Wow, there’s a lot of space in here. It would be great if we could find more Spiritual Fields."

"You bandit!" Tang Yu roared, using the last of his strength. He was on the verge of death, crushed by the combined might of the Starlight Array and the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation.

Ruan Lan’s good mood soured. How am I a bandit? she thought indignantly. This Spiritual Field was clearly fated to be mine.

Ruan Lan increased the frequency of the two Formations’ attacks. Tang Yu, who was already on his last legs, perished instantly.

In fact, Tang Yu’s death was not unjust in the slightest. Throughout history, how many people have had the chance to witness two of the Immortal Domain’s foremost Killing Formations in action? One was created by an ancient ancestor of the Star Origin Sect who had briefly stepped into the Emperor Realm. The other was created by the current era’s Emperor Qingfeng.

To die under these two peerless Great Arrays would be the envy of every Array Master in the Immortal Domain, because these two Formations represented the absolute pinnacle of their craft. Even in Ruan Lan’s hands, the lethal power of these two Killing Formations was less than one-billionth of their peak strength. But, it had to be said, fate was never fair.

Some people study Formations their entire lives yet never master even a corner of a Great Emperor Formation, let alone fulfill the extravagant wish of seeing one in person. But for others, from the very day they become an Array Master, they start with the legacies of three Great Emperors, inheriting Formations that represent the pinnacle of both killing power and defense.

After all, that’s life: a world where darkness and light are in constant pursuit of one another, and where justice and evil coexist.

She didn’t disable her Defensive Array. Even though her Spiritual Energy was continuously depleting, Ruan Lan felt she could still hold on.

"Huh? What’s that?" Qian Xiao suddenly exclaimed.

Once the Spiritual Field was gone, it revealed a deep pit filled with countless skeletons—or more precisely, innumerable skulls. A foul stench wafted out, causing Ruan Lan and Xu Yiyi to instinctively cover their noses and mouths. "Ugh, it stinks..."

The skulls were piled high into a tower. A slender sword, as white as pure jade, was thrust into the skull at its very pinnacle.

"There’s a sword over there!" Xu Yiyi couldn’t help but exclaim.

The core of the Emperor Qingfeng Scripture was the Qingfeng Sword Intent, so Xu Yiyi was exceptionally sensitive to the presence of swords. She knew at a single glance that this blade was no ordinary object.

"Something feels a bit off here." Ruan Lan narrowed her eyes. "Qian Xiao, go down and take a look."

"Why me?" Qian Xiao stared in astonishment.

"Do you expect me to go?" Ruan Lan raised an eyebrow. "With my old bones, what if I throw out my back?"

Qian Xiao fell silent. If Auntie Ruan Lan can’t go, then Boss Yiyi certainly can’t. Among the three of them, it was obvious who had to go down.

Qian Xiao was hesitant, but when he saw Yiyi’s eyes glued to the beautiful White Jade Sword, he gritted his teeth and declared, "I’ll go down right now!"

"Qian Xiao, don’t force yourself," Xu Yiyi said with concern. "It’s definitely dangerous here. Let’s just leave."

"No! I have to get that sword for Boss!" Qian Xiao said stubbornly, then turned and headed into the corpse pit.

"Ah, to be childhood sweethearts," Ruan Lan sighed dramatically, then shouted, "Qian Xiao, you have a crush on my niece, don’t you!"

Qian Xiao stumbled, his face flushing a frightening shade of red, but he didn’t dare to speak or look back. He agilely leaped into the deep pit and began climbing the tower of skulls, intent on retrieving the White Jade Sword.

"Auntie, don’t talk nonsense, or I’ll ignore you from now on!" Xu Yiyi puffed out her cheeks, glaring at Ruan Lan.

"Alright, alright." Ruan Lan raised her hands in surrender. "I won’t say another word." She then giggled. "But, my dear niece, if you ever have any problems of the heart, you can always consult me. I’m a relationship expert!"

"Auntie, if you’re such an expert, why are you still single?"

Ruan Lan paused, then quickly changed the subject. "I think we should focus our attention on Qian Xiao. That tower of skulls appearing from under the Spiritual Field is very strange."

Xu Yiyi watched him with a worried expression. In just a few moments, Qian Xiao had reached the top of the hundred-meter-tall tower of skulls. He grasped the White Jade Sword and pulled with all his might. However, he was shockingly blasted away.

A dignified early-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator like me... can’t even pull out a single sword?!

"Qian Xiao, are you alright?" Hearing the concerned voice of his Boss from above, Qian Xiao felt an inexplicable blush creep up his neck. "I-I’m fine! I just lost my footing."

He climbed back to the top of the tower of skulls. This time, Qian Xiao channeled his Spiritual Energy, using every last ounce of his strength to pull the sword, but he still failed. He had it even worse this time, getting blasted by a tremendous force straight into the dirt wall of the pit.

Xu Yiyi and Ruan Lan quickly flew down into the pit and pulled Qian Xiao out of the mud.

"Stop trying to pull it. Let’s hurry up and leave," Ruan Lan suggested, mindful of the time.

"No!" Qian Xiao’s stubborn streak flared up. "This sword is clearly a treasure!" he said indignantly. "Auntie, can you really bear to just leave it here?"

"Now that you mention it, I’m also starting to feel this sword is fated to be mine," Ruan Lan said, pinching her chin. Covering her nose and mouth, she flew to the top of the tower of skulls and carefully examined the blade, which was as translucent as a white cloud.

Suddenly, she noticed three small characters carved into the hilt. Ruan Lan leaned in and read them aloud: "Yunxiao Sect."
