After spending several hours in Mother Li's cave abode, Li Xiaoya finally left.
He and Mother Li had talked at length about rescuing his father and taking revenge in the future, but his current cultivation was still far too lacking. His most important task now was to strengthen his cultivation and power. Mother Li's restraints had only just been lifted, too, and her magic power and divine abilities were much weaker than before. She would also need a great deal of time to restore them.
It looks like the burden on my shoulders really is heavy! Li Xiaoya sighed inwardly as he left Mother Li's cave abode. Then his gaze grew resolute. In the past, he had never had much of a goal when cultivating; he had mostly been forced into it by circumstances. At the bottom of Spiritlight Lake, for example, he would never have been able to escape unless he cultivated diligently. The same had been true in Southwestern Ancient City. Most of his cultivation had been driven by his surroundings, a struggle against heaven for his very life.
Now, the pressure of avenging his family had suddenly fallen upon him, and he immediately felt that he had to cultivate even harder. After all, his father was still in the hands of the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect. If he did not work hard, he might never see his father again in this lifetime, leaving him with a lifelong regret.
That thought had prompted his sigh. Suddenly, he glanced toward Liu Xian'er's cave abode and sighed inwardly again. Determination filled his eyes, and with a flicker of movement, he shot away from Rainbow Rosy Peak.
