Ye Lingxi grinned, then suddenly turned serious. "Brother, what Dao do you think I should cultivate?"
Su Chen glanced at Ye Lingxi but did not answer immediately. Instead, he walked over to the rattan chair and sat down.
Ye Lingxi hurried behind Su Chen and began massaging his shoulders.
The corners of Su Chen's mouth lifted slightly. "How would I know what Dao you want to cultivate?"
Ye Lingxi knitted her brows tightly and said nothing.
Su Chen asked, "Why do you cultivate?"
Ye Lingxi thought for a moment. "At first, I cultivated because I wanted to fly. But now... I cultivate because I want to protect you, Brother!"
"Oh? Protect me?" Su Chen was a little surprised.
Ye Lingxi nodded. "Yes. I don't want you to be the one protecting me all the time, Brother. I want to protect you too!"
Su Chen burst out laughing, gratified. "If you want to protect me, you'll have to work hard. Your brother is very strong!"
Ye Lingxi said, "I know you're strong, Brother, so I'll work even harder at cultivating from now on."
Su Chen smiled. "Then first, you have to prepare yourself to be invincible."
"Invincible?"
Curious, Ye Lingxi thought for a moment and asked, "Invincible in the Immortal Realm?"
Su Chen said, "Not just invincible in the Immortal Realm."
Ye Lingxi blinked and said nothing.
Su Chen continued, "Being invincible in the Immortal Realm is only the beginning. There are plenty of people in this world who can be invincible there. Some powerful beings might be able to make the entire Immortal Realm vanish with just a thought!"
Ye Lingxi was stunned. "Do beings like that really exist in this world?"
Making the entire Immortal Realm vanish with a single thought-she did not even dare imagine it!
Su Chen nodded. "Of course. And there may be beings even more terrifying than that!"
Ye Lingxi fell silent.
Su Chen's words had completely overturned her understanding. She had always thought Great Emperors were the strongest, but there were beings in this world even more terrifying than Great Emperors!
Su Chen said seriously, "Remember, there is no strongest in this world, only stronger!"
Ye Lingxi fell silent again. After a while, she asked, "Then is there anyone in this world who can defeat you, Brother?"
Su Chen smiled slightly. "There probably isn't anyone who can defeat me, but I'm not sure either."
Ye Lingxi wore a conflicted expression. Only now did she realize how foolish her earlier thought had been.
Su Chen smiled. "What's wrong? Lost your confidence?"
Ye Lingxi nodded.
Su Chen smiled. "You've lost your confidence already? Then how will you become invincible?"
Ye Lingxi fell silent. After a long while, she suddenly raised her head, a fierce fighting spirit blazing in her eyes. "If you can be invincible, Brother, why can't I? I'm going to surpass you! I'll become even stronger than you!"
Hummm!
Just then, a powerful surge of sword intent shot into the sky from Ye Lingxi. It carried an invincible force, and its terrifying sword might tore straight through the heavens. It was utterly shocking!
Boom!
At that very moment, a terrifying Saint's might suddenly erupted from Ye Lingxi. It was not the might of a Half-Saint, but the might of a true Saint!
She had broken through to the Saint Realm!
It was not over yet. Her Qi was still growing stronger, and she seemed on the verge of breaking through another minor realm!
Seeing this, Ye Lingxi hurriedly withdrew her sword intent and forcibly suppressed her cultivation to stop herself from breaking through again.
She had forcibly raised her cultivation before, leaving her foundation unstable. If she still did not know to suppress it now, her foundation would be utterly ruined.
After a long while, Ye Lingxi let out a long breath. Her cultivation had finally stabilized.
Ye Lingxi now bore a sharp edge and an invincible force, with Invincible Sword Intent swirling around her.
Su Chen looked at Ye Lingxi and nodded. "Good, very good. Lingxi is amazing."
Ye Lingxi smiled. "Hehe, that's because you taught me well, Brother."
Su Chen smiled slightly. "You little girl, you have such a sweet tongue. I wonder who you learned that from."
Ye Lingxi said, "But I'm telling the truth."
"Hahaha!"
Su Chen laughed heartily and shook his head. Then he looked at Ye Lingxi. "Cultivate well. I'll be waiting for the day you surpass me in strength!"
Ye Lingxi's gaze was resolute as she nodded emphatically. "Mm-hmm!"
Su Chen smiled and held out his hand. A seed appeared in his palm.
Ye Lingxi stared at the seed and asked curiously, "What's that?"
Su Chen said, "This is a Great Dao Tree Seed. If you fuse with it, you won't have to worry about running out of Immortal Qi in battle anymore. It can provide you with an endless supply of Immortal Qi."
"What?"
Ye Lingxi stared in disbelief.
It could provide an endless supply of Immortal Qi?
It defied the heavens!
She had never heard of anyone possessing such a heaven-defying divine treasure.
Su Chen handed the seed to Ye Lingxi. "Go on and fuse with it."
"Mm-hmm!"
Ye Lingxi nodded excitedly, took the seed, and eagerly went to sit down nearby. Then she looked at the seed, her expression froze, and she turned to Su Chen. "How do I fuse with it?" she asked awkwardly.
Su Chen smiled. "You little girl, you were in such a hurry that I thought you knew how."
Ye Lingxi stuck out her tongue awkwardly.
Su Chen shook his head with a smile. "Nourish it with Immortal Qi. After that, it will fuse with you on its own."
Ye Lingxi nodded and began channeling Immortal Qi into the seed. Two hours passed like this. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her face grew somewhat pale. "Brother, why hasn't this thing reacted yet?"
Su Chen smiled. "Hold on a little longer."
Ye Lingxi nodded and said no more, keeping her eyes fixed on the seed. Another hour passed, and just as she was about to reach her limit, the seed suddenly turned into a streak of light and entered her body. It settled quietly beside her Dantian.
Boom!
The seed suddenly released an extremely dense, pure surge of Immortal Qi, instantly replenishing the Immortal Qi Ye Lingxi had lost.
Ye Lingxi sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. After a while, her cultivation, which had already settled down, broke through again. This time, she could no longer suppress it and could only break through.
Ye Lingxi slowly opened her eyes, excitement written across her face. She hurried to her feet, came over to Su Chen, and threw herself into his arms. "Brother, this seed is amazing! Its Immortal Qi is even purer than what I absorb!"
Then she raised her head and looked at Su Chen. "Brother, where did you get it? Does a divine treasure like this really exist in the Immortal Realm?"
Su Chen smiled slightly. "It's a secret."
Ye Lingxi nodded. "All right."
She knew Su Chen must have a reason for not telling her. Otherwise, there was no way he would keep it from her.
Su Chen smiled and reached out to rub Ye Lingxi's head. "Good girl."
Ye Lingxi grinned. "Of course!"
Su Chen looked at Ye Lingxi and seemed to remember something. A trace of gravity flashed in his eyes as he cautioned her, "Don't raise your cultivation too quickly, all right?"
Ye Lingxi blinked. "Why?"
Su Chen smiled slightly. "You'll find out later."
Ye Lingxi nodded. "All right~"
