Chapter 56 -56: Begging Wuya for Mercy

In the blink of an eye, the winter snow melted, and spring blossoms bloomed, heralding the arrival of another spring season.

In the past half year, Nan Sheng’s cultivation base had improved again, bringing her only a step away from the Golden Core Stage cultivator.

However, no matter how diligently Shen Qinghe cultivated, her cultivation base remained at the early phase of the Foundation Establishment Stage, without any progress.

Since Shen Qinghe and Nan Sheng had established their foundations at the same time, they naturally became the subjects of comparison by everyone.

Nan Sheng, as a female cultivator, had always been a topic of conversation. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also extremely talented in cultivation. Moreover, her romantic escapades were a source of great interest to others.

In the recent half year, Shen Qinghe rarely showed herself in public, and even Shen Zhiyao seldom appeared before others. Almost everyone had forgotten about the existence of Shen Qinghe.

It was not until Nan Sheng’s cultivation base had improved again, with Shen Qinghe being used as a contrast to highlight the former’s progress, that everyone suddenly remembered that there was a Shen Qinghe in the Sky Pole Sect.

Just like Shen Qinghe, Yan Changsheng had also become low-key. Ever since Xiao Chen and Nan Sheng’s marriage agreement was settled, Yan Changsheng focused his attention on cultivation.

He was also a cultivator with immense talent, and without the distractions of emotional entanglements, his cultivation speed surged forward by leaps and bounds.

It was not until this day, when Yan Changsheng attracted a tribulation thunder, that the cultivators of the Sky Pole Sect realized with astonishment that Yan Changsheng was on the verge of making a breakthrough in just half a year.

If he succeeded in transcending the tribulation, Yan Changsheng would become a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator.

When Shen Zhiyao learned of Yan Changsheng’s impending breakthrough, she immediately comforted Shen Qinghe, “Yan Changsheng has always been a cultivation prodigy, so it’s normal for him to break through so quickly. Qinghe, don’t worry. Let’s continue our diligent practice, and one day we too will have our breakthrough.”

She felt pain for her sister who, despite her hard work, achieved no progress, while Nan Sheng, who knew nothing but to seduce men all day, could still advance effortlessly.

The ways of this world were simply too unjust.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghe gave a wry smile, “Elder sister, rest assured, I am not in a rush.”

Just thinking about how she was once a mortal without a spirit root and unable to cultivate, she felt no resentment or impatience.

Heaven rewards the diligent. She still felt that as long as she worked hard, she had nothing to regret.

Shen Zhiyao patted Shen Qinghe’s shoulder, “Qinghe, I believe you will succeed; you are just lacking a bit of luck.”

Yan Changsheng committed so many misdeeds yet still earned Heaven’s favor, transcending the tribulation so quickly. She couldn’t believe Qinghe’s cultivation would be stuck in the same spot.

She cursed Yan Changsheng viciously, hoping that his tribulation would not be successful.

Unfortunately, not long after, the entire sect received the good news: Yan Changsheng had passed the tribulation and officially became a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator.

After receiving the news, Shen Zhiyao sat stunned for a long time. Taking advantage of Shen Qinghe’s earnest cultivation, she ran to the outside of Bixiao Tower.

Thinking that Shen Zhiyao had come to see Shen Zhuo, Dongfang Wuya was surprised when Shen Zhiyao started by praising him, and then got to the main point.

“Qinghe usually cultivates diligently, but she is just missing a little chance. I was thinking, with the opening of the Red Moon Secret Realm, if Qinghe could participate, perhaps she could find an opportunity. Her current cultivation base isn’t enough to qualify for the trials. I earnestly request Mr. Wuya to speak on her behalf to let Qinghe participate in this trial; could you do that?” Shen Zhiyao said as she knelt down, about to kowtow, but found herself unable to move.

“The sect has its rules. The fact that Shen Qinghe’s cultivation base is insufficient is undeniable. She is not qualified to enter the Red Moon Secret Realm,” Dongfang Wuya’s voice reached Shen Zhiyao’s ears.

The Red Moon Secret Realm opened only once every hundred years, containing countless spiritual treasures.

The more spiritual treasures the secret realm had, the more dangerous it was. This was the reason cultivators with too low of a cultivation base were not allowed to enter.

Great opportunities also come with tremendous risks. With Shen Qinghe’s cultivation base, entering the Red Moon Secret Realm could mean that there would be no return.

Shen Zhiyao’s face fell, “Didn’t Mr. Wuya say that Qinghe is your person? Could you not make an exception for Qinghe just this once? Why can Nan Sheng participate in the trials? She’s also a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Is it just because her talent is extremely high that she can be an exception? Qinghe has worked a thousand times harder than her, she’s truly good, while Nan Sheng is so wicked…”

As she spoke, Shen Zhiyao’s voice choked up and she couldn’t continue.

She hadn’t cried since she could remember, even when she returned from her trials two years ago and heard for the first time that Elder Shen was stabbed and fell into a coma by Yan Changsheng, she held it in.

But thinking about all the grievances Qinghe had suffered over the past year, and how she had held Qinghe back, it made her feel terrible.

“Go back,” Dongfang Wuya finally gave Shen Zhiyao only this response.

Shen Zhiyao returned to the Simple Residence Courtyard with a heavy heart, and it was then that Shen Qinghe realized that Shen Zhiyao had stepped out for a moment.

“What’s wrong, elder sister?” Shen Qinghe thought something serious had happened and rushed up to Shen Zhiyao to ask.

Shen Zhiyao didn’t dare to mention her visit to Dongfang Wuya and forced out a bit of a smile, “It’s just that I heard Yan Changsheng has reached the Divinity Transformation Stage, and it seems unfair.”

“That’s because he has talent. There’s nothing unfair about that. Maybe he’s unlucky in love, but lucky in cultivation? He lost his beloved, so he can only seek comfort in cultivation. Wouldn’t you feel happier thinking like that?” Shen Qinghe comforted her.

Shen Zhiyao was in a bad mood and gave a few perfunctory responses before lying back down on her bed.

As the opening time of the Red Moon Secret Realm drew near, today was the day to announce the list of those who would enter.

Because the spots were limited, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage were basically excluded, of course, Nan Sheng was an exception.

Shen Qinghe also came to the Juxiu Hall that day, but she had no chance to enter. She stood outside the door, drawing in the spiritual energy from the main characters.

Nan Sheng arrived later and deliberately slowed her steps when she saw Shen Qinghe, feigning surprise, “Qinghe, why aren’t you entering the Juxiu Hall?”

She clearly knew that with Shen Qinghe’s early stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation, she had no chance of entering the Red Moon Secret Realm, but she just wanted to sting Shen Qinghe’s heart and let Shen Qinghe see the gap between them.

Shen Qinghe couldn’t be bothered to deal with Nan Sheng’s mockery and casually leaned against the trunk of a tree.

Nan Sheng found her demeanor vexing and thought to herself, what’s there to be so arrogant about? She is also a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator but is allowed into the Red Moon Secret Realm. Given her usual luck, she would surely gain greatly from entering the realm.

Yet Shen Qinghe couldn’t even enter the realm and still had the audacity to snub her.

Just as she was about to mock Shen Qinghe some more, Xiao Chen interjected from the side, “Shengsheng, let’s go.”

Nan Sheng looked at Xiao Chen, who entered the Juxiu Hall without even glancing to the side, and felt quite satisfied with his behavior.

At the very least, Xiao Chen hadn’t seen Shen Qinghe recently, which proved that he was no longer interested in Shen Qinghe.

Furthermore, since Shen Qinghe’s Foundation Establishment, she hadn’t made any breakthroughs, her talents were so mediocre. Didn’t this imply that Shen Qinghe was not worth the effort?

She was just a step away from the Golden Core Stage, and in the future, her cultivation speed would only get faster; Shen Qinghe could never catch up with her.

Such a person wasn’t worth her effort to deal with anymore.

“Qinghe, if I find any good treasures in the secret realm this time, I can give you one of the leftovers,” Nan Sheng said before entering the Juxiu Hall.
