"Lanâer, are you planning to leave the Beishu Continent with Shiming?" Aunt Ren asked Yin Shilan in a low voice.
Yin Shilan hesitated slightly, seeing her parentsâ condition, she knew they didnât have much time left.
"Are you worried about us?" Aunt Ren smiled, stroking her hair as she asked.
Yin Shilan nodded, her eyes filled with deep attachment.
"We have Feiâer, you should think more about Shiming; the Beishu Continent is too small. Shiming cannot be held back here, and neither can you!" Aunt Ren said with a smile.
She could see clearly that Li Shiming, with his strength alone, suppresses the merging of the seven sects, indicating how powerful Li Shiming truly is.
But looking at the Beishu Continent over tens of thousands of years, even the most talented cultivator has only reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, already considered a genius seen once in millennia.
If Li Shiming had not left the Beishu Continent, how could he possess such power.
Even though Li Shiming is currently strong, if he stays in the Beishu Continent, it would diminish his strength and potentially impact his future.
Aunt Ren also knew that Yin Shilan was delayed in her cultivation for a hundred years. If she wanted higher achievements, leaving the Beishu Continent is inevitable.
As parents, she doesnât want to affect the young coupleâs future because of themselves.
She and Elder Yin are already very satisfied, having come from the small Sky Sea Island to the Beishu Continent, establishing their careers and enjoying their twilight years.
Back then, those Golden Core Elders from Sky Sea Island, were lucky to have survived.
"Mother!" Yin Shilan plunged into Aunt Renâs embrace, and Aunt Ren held her tightly in return.
Aunt Ren personally cooked a table of dishes, just like a mortal welcoming a son-in-law.
For Li Shiming, this was his first taste of mortal food in a hundred years.
Of course, Aunt Renâs cooking method was mortal-like, but the ingredients were mostly spiritual materials.
Li Shiming felt as if he had long been detached from this cultivation world and had forgotten about these lower-level spiritual materials.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I toast to you both!" He stood up, raised his cup, and slightly bowed to Elder Yin and Aunt Ren.
"You need to take good care of Lanâer!" Elder Yin said after downing his wine.
"Lanâer is gentle; you cannot bully her!" Aunt Ren drank her entire cup and said.
Yin Shilan watched the scene in front of her blissfully. Although there was no ceremony, from this moment on, she officially became Li Shimingâs wife, his Daoist couple.
Having parentsâ blessings was more precious than any ceremony.
When Li Shiming left Inner Yang Mountain with Yin Shilan, the elders escorted them to the mountainâs edge.
"Lanâer, although we are leaving the Beishu Continent, you can come back anytime you want. From the Dongqi Continent, itâs only about twenty days if you travel nonstop!" Li Shiming gently consoled Yin Shilan, who was feeling down.
He also saw the elders didnât have much time left, but with his abilities, there wasnât much he could do.
Perhaps he could collect some lifespan-extending spiritual objects from those super forces, but that would only defer the inevitable by some years.
Compared to Yin Shilan, who had nearly a thousand years of lifespan left, parting was inevitable.
"Can we really return?" Yin Shilan softly confirmed after hearing his words.
"Of course, I promise!" Li Shiming raised his hand solemnly to assure her.
Yin Shilan leaned gently against his chest, a serene smile appearing on her face.
Returning to the Beishu Sect, Li Shiming summoned Sect Master Su.
"Shiming, are you planning to leave?" Sect Master Su asked immediately upon arriving.
Li Shiming was taken aback, never imagining so many people knew his intentions.
"With your strength, the Beishu Continent doesnât have the resources to support your cultivation!" Sect Master Su explained.
Actually, it wasnât just Sect Master Su; almost all the sectâs higher-ups could see this.
Li Shiming established the Beishu Sect but didnât seize power; he built the sectâs framework and stabilized resource channels, indicating he didnât care about the Beishu Sectâs authority.
After Yin Shilanâs promotion, all the higher-ups understood that Li Shimingâs departure wouldnât be far off.
"Master, I do plan to leave the Beishu Continent with Lanâer soon, but I have some arrangements to make before leaving!" Li Shiming nodded in acknowledgment.
Hearing Li Shimingâs words, Sect Master Su felt somewhat saddened yet relieved.
His disciple was leaving once again, but such departures were inevitable, and he couldnât stop Li Shiming from pursuing higher cultivation.
"First, hand over the Sect Master Token to me!" Li Shiming requested.
Sect Master Su took out the Sect Master Token, which may have been useful for other cultivators, but it was of no use to Li Shiming.
Whatever orders Li Shiming gave, the Shushan Sect would execute them with full force, and no cultivator would defy them.
Li Shiming received the Sect Master Token and, after exhaling a âRed Sun Spirit Fire,â engraved some runes on the token before imprinting a mark.
He then took out the Mustard Seed Ring he had prepared long ago and handed it back to Sect Master Su along with the Sect Master Token.
"In the future, the puppets in this Mustard Seed Ring should be passed down along with the Sect Master Token as proof of the Sect Master position. Among them are four Fourth Grade Puppets, which can easily defeat a Nascent Soul Mid-stage enemy!" Li Shiming instructed solemnly.
Sect Master Su felt the Mustard Seed Ring in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds; Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators are beings the Beishu Continent can only look up to.
