Misunderstanding, An Invisible Hand?

Even though you weren't sure if it was all real, the dream lingered in the depths of your heart.

You secretly swore: you would definitely change this outcome! Change your family's fate!

A month later, entering October, you were astonished to discover that your cultivation had reached an incredible Qi Cultivation Layer 9, and it was Qi Cultivation Layer 9 with all your spiritual energy completely liquefied!

This matched your final cultivation level in the dream, which only deepened your conviction in that previous dream.

Over the past month, you gradually adapted to your cultivation and attempted to condense your Spirit Platform.

Although you had tried to condense your Spirit Platform many times in your dream, you still found it very clumsy now.

After a month, there was still no result.

You felt it was due to your weak spiritual sense, making condensing your Spirit Platform as difficult as a child building a skyscraper.

But you didn't lose heart.

During this time, you also visited Mu Xinger at the Pill Hall multiple times, and your relationship became even more intimate.

Even your mother noticed, but she didn't ask much. Perhaps she was happy for you in her heart? After all, you often felt your mother's hidden joy.

In November, a disciple from the Punishment Hall found you and invited you to the Punishment Hall.

Although you were curious about what had happened? Was it related to you? You were sure you hadn't done anything wrong, so you went there calmly.

"?"

"What's going on? Did the simulation change again?"

Mu Xingqi asked curiously. He hadn't done anything this month? How could the simulation have a new change?

Although he was puzzled, he could only continue to look at the simulation panel. Only the Simulator could give him the answer.

You arrived at the family's Punishment Hall, where two elders were already waiting for you.

"To keep two elders waiting, who could this person be?" "The two elders are interrogating, this person must have made a grave mistake!" The disciples in the Punishment Hall whispered amongst themselves.

Although you are the clan leader's son, you only awakened your Spiritual Root and began cultivating a year ago. Moreover, you rarely moved around the clan, so many disciples didn't recognize you, especially those from the Branch Lineages.

You looked up and met the stern gazes of the two elders. The Fourth Elder's eyes held a hint of vigilance.

You first cupped your hands: "Elders, for what reason did you summon me to the Punishment Hall?"

Your composed demeanor caused the other disciples present to look at you with surprise.

The Fourth Elder took out the corpse of a Wolf Demon and looked at you, asking: "Did you slay this Wolf Demon?"

You glanced at the Wolf Demon corpse before you. Wasn't this the Wolf Demon you took a mission to kill at Qinghe Village last month?

"Yes!" you replied.

The Fourth Elder and the Second Elder, Mu Shengfa, who managed the Punishment Hall, both looked shocked.

The Fourth Elder quickly denied it: "This is impossible!" He then continued to explain: "Mu Xingqi, you only awakened your Spiritual Root a year ago, and judging by the cuts on this Wolf Demon's corpse, this was definitely the work of a cultivator in the late Qi Cultivation stage combined with at least Major Accomplishment level swordplay! You've only awakened your Spiritual Root for a year, how could you possess such strength?"

Seeing the Fourth Elder getting more agitated, the Second Elder quickly raised his hand to stop him, saying: "Fourth Brother, you're too excited. Let me explain to Xingqi."

Although the Second Elder had managed the Punishment Hall for many years and exuded an aura of authority, he was still reasonable.

As the Second Elder explained, you understood why the two elders had summoned you to the Punishment Hall for questioning.

It turned out that the Wolf Demon corpse you submitted was mistaken by the Fourth Elder for being slain by a powerful cultivator. You had accidentally picked up the Wolf Demon's corpse. The sudden appearance of a cultivator with superb swordsmanship in the late Qi Cultivation stage near Muye Mountain naturally aroused his suspicion and attention. He then joined forces with the Second Elder to ask if you had any clues.

But, you couldn't provide any clues, could you? Because you were the one who killed this Wolf Demon.

"Huh? That's it?"

So it was all a misunderstanding?

Mu Xingqi rubbed his forehead helplessly.

He thought he had inadvertently triggered some butterfly effect, but it turned out the Fourth Elder was suspicious simply because of this Wolf Demon corpse that he had slain with a single sword strike.

He thought there was some powerful cultivator near the family.

What could he say?

You spread your hands and said helplessly: "Fourth Elder, Second Elder. Junior truly isn't lying to you both, I did kill this Wolf Demon."

Seeing that the two elders still didn't believe you, you drew your sword helplessly: "Elders, since you don't believe me, just watch me draw my sword."

You unleashed a Perfection level Nan Sword Art slash. Of course, you deliberately controlled its power, but it was still enough to prove your strength.

The two elders were greatly shocked, and upon learning that your cultivation had already broken through to Qi Cultivation Layer 9, they almost dropped their jaws!

The two elders naturally believed that you could kill the Wolf Demon with one sword, after all, with your current strength, you could probably kill both of them with one sword.

After the amusing misunderstanding was resolved, you left the Punishment Hall on your own.

Everyone in the entire Punishment Hall, including the two elders, was stunned into silence by the strength you had just displayed. The Fourth Elder looked at your retreating back and said: "Is this child even human?"

The Second Elder replied: "Talent emerges in successive generations..."

The next day, the Fourth Elder found you again and informed you that after a family council, they had decided to let you meet the Old Ancestor.

Because of your terrifying talent, they, as elders, did not have the ability or the courage to guide you.

[Your parents were also shocked upon learning that your cultivation had broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. Didn't you just break through to the late stage of Qi Cultivation a while ago? How is it that in just a few months, you've directly reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation?]

[Did they give birth to a monster?]

[You arrive at Grandfather's cave dwelling where he is in seclusion.]

[Your Grandfather was so shocked upon learning that your cultivation had broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation that he was speechless. After a long while, he stared at you as if you were a monster.]

[You had anticipated your Grandfather's strange gaze, as all the elders surrounding you were looking at you the same way, as if they had seen a monster.]

[Your Grandfather's evaluation of you remained: "Spirit Transmutation potential!"]

[You were enfeoffed as the Young Clan Leader by your Grandfather, your status even higher than the elders, with treatment equal to theirs.]

[You received a Yellow Grade High Rank Spirit Replenishing Pill from your Grandfather.]

[Your Grandfather specifically asked you and your parents to stay. Your father understood and informed him of his suspicion that you might possess a Special Constitution.]

[Your Grandfather actually thought the same. After all, in his opinion, only a Special Constitution could explain your rapid cultivation advancement.]

[Moreover, your Special Constitution has a high probability of having awakened.]

[With such an explanation, even you believed you possessed a Special Constitution.]

[After all, you woke up one day from a nightmare about the future, and you didn't know why your cultivation had advanced so quickly. You only knew that you could instinctively accept these changes, but upon closer thought, something felt off.]

[You always felt like an invisible hand was controlling you...]
