Chapter 515: Chapter 519: Beast Taming Queen (9)

Xue Xu lost all color when startled by his Master’s words, gaping in disbelief and lacking all semblance of a cultivator’s solemn and dignified aura.

He instinctively looked over at Xue Jian, desperate to see her exploding in anger.

This had to be something his Master and his wife had decided on their own; Xue Jian would never agree to it.

Xue Xu consoled himself with this thought while at the same time, his restless mind couldn’t help but reflect on his recent actions.

Perhaps, just maybe... his behavior of late had irritated his Master and his wife.

He, he hadn’t meant to neglect his junior sister; it was just that Mei Gui was going through a special period, and as fellow sect disciples, it was only right for him to show her some concern.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Xu found a myriad of excuses for his neglect of Xue Jian.

Xue Jian was to blame too; she didn’t bother to explain properly to the Master, something she used to do so well in the past.

All present were centuries-old wise individuals; Xue Xu’s internal turmoil was as transparent to them as if on display.

Without his daughter’s oversized filter to make light of Xue Xu’s situation, Uncle Xue, straightforward as he was, saw everything clearly.

It was fortunate that his daughter had come to realize things on her own; otherwise, they might have led their precious child into a trap.

Such a temperamental man, how unfit to be a husband.

Uncle Xue’s imposing pressure, typical of one in a position of power, bore down like Mount Tai upon Xue Xu’s head, bending his spine and forcing him to collapse to his knees with a crisp kneel onto the floor.

In the most despised and looked down upon posture, he groveled before the sect elders.

Xue Xu didn’t understand why his Master had suddenly gone mad, but he couldn’t escape that Xue Jian must have said something unpleasant to him.

While resentful, he also wanted to show some resoluteness; even if the other party was his Master and a senior in the sect, they had no right to give him trouble without reason.

But after being held in such high regard and then experiencing the pressure from those above him, it felt as distant as if it were happening in a dream.

That terror which shook one to the core, that fear, he had only felt it when he was first selected as a disciple and taken from the Mortal World by other disciples.

Despite this, Xue Xu mustered his courage and looked in Xue Jian’s direction, revealing an uncomfortable expression, and said, "Little Xue’er, what in heavens is going on?"

Hearing this address, Xue Jian’s heart soured as if submerged in vinegar, unbearable bitterness, but the moment she thought of the future she had glimpsed, she steeled her resolve.

She turned her head and whispered to her father, "Let’s head back early; your daughter seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough."

Xue Xu, being so thoughtless, could never compare to her dear daughter. Hearing Xue Jian say this, Uncle Xue got so excited he accidentally sent Xue Xu flying, causing him to spit out three mouthfuls of essence blood, rapidly losing color in his face. His body swayed from side to side before he thudded to the ground, unconscious.

When Xue Xu awoke from his unconscious state, everything had already been settled.

The entire sect was abuzz with the news of his annulment of engagement with Xue Jian and the cold reception from his own Master.

Those petty people who would usually flatter or trample someone depending on the situation took the opportunity to stomp on him.

He had thought sacrificing a bit of himself for resources was distressing enough; he didn’t expect that post-breakup with his once betrothed, Xue Jian, tougher times were plentiful.

His days became more miserable than ever before.

What he once found humiliating, now seemed like the most carefree and joyful days he had lived.

Now Xue Xu had no thoughts of getting close to Mei Gui’s Lianyi; he couldn’t even ensure the basic resources for his own cultivation, let alone have the luxury to think about romantic affairs.

Before long, Xue Xu, once a somewhat famous young master of the Beast Taming Sect, became an inconspicuous wavelet in a big storm, disappearing without a trace at the blow of a single wave.

Apart from Mei Gui, who had received a centipede from Su Li because of a previous redundant move, one was also placed on Xue Jian by Su Li.

The tangled web of love and hatred between them within the Beast Taming Sect was also reflected one by one on the film of Su Li’s eyes, serving as a diversion during her monotonous cultivation.

Xue Jian did not disappoint her with the insights she had provided.

If she had "seen" the future and still chose to stick by Xue Xu’s side, even if she didn’t end up dead by her own folly, Su Li would have felt the urge to take action and end her life.

Women are often ruled by their emotions. Many women are not unaware that their behavior is wrong, but often turn a blind eye when it is pointed out to them.

It’s not that she is too foolish to see some truths; it’s that she doesn’t want to see, to hear.

You can never wake someone who is pretending to sleep. Su Li had seen too many such women.

Even in the Cultivation World, the number of women who achieve full cultivation and ascend to the Upper Realm is much fewer than that of men.

Truly dedicated women, intent on the path of cultivation, are extremely rare.

Now, Su Li seemed to see a glimmer of success in Xue Jian.

This experience could be considered a blessing in disguise for her, breaking through her emotional tribulations and sweeping her Mingtai clean, rendering her entire being crystal clear. The bottleneck that hadn’t budged for a long time was beginning to collapse.

If this continued, Xue Jian might indeed glimpse the infinite possibilities of the light of the Upper Realm.

After watching a grand saga at the Beast Taming Sect, Su Li’s cultivation continued smoothly and orderly.

In addition, she unlocked several other functions of the stone bead that lay deep within her soul.

The stone bead which had always served as a personal space for her in her past life, began to autonomously sweep up all the Spiritual Energy in the entire forest after her cultivation reached a certain height.

Then, the fog inside the stone bead cleared up a bit, revealing the shape of a small building.

In the building, there was no other use, but one could distinctly feel the omnipresence of the Time Law.

This immediately gave Su Li more ideas for its effective use.

Practicing cultivation in this Different Space-Time was beyond doubly productive, no, it was many, many times more productive.

A hundred years of cultivation inside the building equated to just one month in the outside world.

Su Li had never, until now, practiced cultivation for such an extended period.

Over time, even the most pleasurable cultivation became a form of torture.

Su Li stayed at the place of her rebirth for five years, which actually amounted to six thousand years of cultivation.

When she emerged from the Different Space and stood in her original place again, a sense of desolation swept over her as if seas had dried and rocks had crumbled away.

In Su Li’s eyes seemed to contain the entire world, and yet seemingly nothing at all.

She indifferently stretched out her hand, towards a brilliantly blooming flower, and waved it.

The naked eye could see the flower swiftly withering, then quickly reverting to a bud, then to a sprout, and finally blooming to its fullest... only to wither once again.

This cycle repeated endlessly.

This was the reincarnation that the flower had to undergo in the wheels of time.

This is the power of time, from which no one can escape its erosion. It is omnipresent and omnipotent.

Following Su Li’s comprehension of the Law of Life, she came to understand the charm of the Time Law in the small building.
