Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

After the spaceship entered the sect, many cultivators felt their bodies become comfortable. Several low-grade spiritual veins intertwined beneath the Tianfan Immortal Sect, and the spiritual energy had been the most abundant in the entire Southern Region.

Now, it was a hundred times fuller than before, and Li Tianyan estimated that there were at least two additional middle-grade spiritual veins underneath.

Elder Tai He, who was responsible for staying behind at the sect, along with a group of elders and disciples from the Immortal Sect, waited in the square outside the Tianfan Palace.

In the early morning, the ground suddenly shook, and spiritual energy surged out. Elder Tai He and others already guessed that the mission to exterminate the Evl Sect had been successfully completed, and sure enough, they soon heard the news of the Tianfan Immortal Sect’ spaceship’s return.

The return to the sect was lively, but there were many evil sects remained, no grand celebration banquet was held. Moreover, the cultivators who had participated in the war had each gained something from the battle on the Shura battlefield, making them eager to enter seclusion.

Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi felt the same way. This time, their flames had swallowed a fire spirit, so they naturally needed time to digest it.

Additionally, on the battlefield, Li Tianyan had only absorbed the dead energy without refining it. By this time, it had accumulated, leaving his stomach feeling tight and uncomfortable. He also needed to carefully process the soul of the evil cultivator.

Li Tianyan spent two months refining the death energy in his belly, including the soul of the evil cultivator, and successfully advanced to the middle stage of Core Formation.

After that, it took considerable time to completely dissolve the evil cultivator’s soul. When he finally sorted through the cultivator’s memories, Li Tianyan realized that advancing to the Nascent Soul to control the Hengwu Continent was only the first step in the evil cultivator’s plan.

This He Liancheng had originally been an evil cultivator from an advanced continent. After failing to advance, he sealed his soul in the Shura battlefield, waiting for a suitable host.

Unexpectedly, the Shura battlefield had been swept away from its original continent due to a void storm, eventually bordering Hengwu Continent. Although the evil cultivator found his host as he had hoped, he became trapped in the barren land of Hengwu Continent.

How could someone from a high-end continent endure such a place where the core formation was the peak?

So, when the evil cultivator discovered that there was a passage to the advanced continent in this world, he plotted to control all of Hengwu Continent to provide a steady supply of nutrients. He believed that one day, when he advanced to the Nascent Soul, he would be able to travel to the opposite continent without being restricted by the passage.

“This guy is really awful,” Cheng Qi said angrily, puffing up his cheeks after hearing what Li Tianyan said.

Then Cheng Qi thought of Elder Tian Min’s disciple. “Young master, do you know why Qin Xuan became a puppet?”

“Qin Xuan was a spy trained by the Evil Sect. Like everyone else, he knew about the existence of the Shura Sect but understood little about it,” Li Tianyan replied, glancing at Cheng Qi before continuing slowly.

It was no accident that Tian Min had picked up Qin Xuan; it had been a deliberate arrangement by the Evil Sect. Later, Tian Min was attacked on his way back from Sword Star Land, and it was Qin Xuan who had leaked his whereabouts to the Evil Sect.

Since then, Qin Xuan had disobeyed the Evil Sect’s orders and left the Tianfan Immortal Sect without authorization. Later, he joined the Shura Sect by chance and became a member. However, he entered the Shura Sect to uncover the Shura Sect’s true purpose.

The Shura battlefield was He Liancheng’s territory. Almost every move Qin Xuan made in the Shura Sect was under his surveillance, so one could imagine his final outcome.

“Did Qin Xuan do this for Master?” Cheng Qi asked, his voice subdued.

“Tian Min had always protected his shortcomings. As long as he recognized his disciples, he treated them sincerely and planned for them with all his heart. However, people who had been trained by the Evil Sect in a sinister environment since childhood were often more resistant to this true intention,” Li Tianyan said.

After discussing Qin Xuan, Li Tianyan carefully checked Cheng Qi’s condition. After nearly two months of seclusion, Cheng Qi’s flame aura had grown stronger, and his state had reached Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Raising his hand to rub the top of Cheng Qi’s hair, Li Tianyan smiled with satisfaction and said, “Very good.”

“It’s a pity that it’s still not time to form the core,” Cheng Qi said with a distressed look. Li Tianyan was already in the middle stage of Core Formation, and he worried he wouldn’t be able to catch up.

“Don’t be anxious, take your time,” Li Tianyan reassured him.

There was still plenty of time, so there was no need for Cheng Qi to rush to form the core. Li Tianyan also wanted him to take more time so that he could withstand the thunder tribulation when the core was formed.

Thinking of the lingering aura of thunder on Baize Peak, Li Tianyan dared not be careless. Who knew if there would be hidden dangers in changing his fate against the will of heaven?

Once the Shura Sect had been eliminated, the Evil Sect scattered across the sea was no longer something to fear. What was more troublesome was that many evil cultivators had abandoned the Sect and fled, and even the Evil Sect had secretly disappeared from under the watch of the Immortal Path.

Moreover, the evil cultivators were already alerted, and it would take effort to track them down again. In the past two years, the mission halls of several sects in various regions had been gathering information on the encirclement and suppression of the Evil Sect.

During these two years, Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi had been practicing within the sect, occasionally going out to hunt evil cultivators when they found suitable tasks.

As more and more evil sects were destroyed, peace gradually returned to the Hengwu Continent. The remaining evil cultivators had retreated completely. Recently, there had been less information about evil cultivators in the mission hall, and the atmosphere in the Tianfan Immortal Sect had become much more relaxed.
