Chapter 1240: Chapter 1089: Sun

“Father, perhaps you are unaware, but Shuo and I, born from the same womb, share a profound connection through some mysterious resonance.”

Li Chengsheng’s eyes glimmered with a trace of memory as he spoke solemnly, “Years ago, when I was refining the True Sun Fire, I came dangerously close to failure. At the moment when I was about to lose control and face death by explosion, a sudden surge of Taiyin Moonlight emerged within me, suppressing the rampaging True Sun Fire and allowing me to successfully refine it.”

Li Zhirui was somewhat surprised. Such a perilous event, yet Sheng had never mentioned it. However, as years had passed and sensing he had more to say, he held back words of reproach.

“When I reflect on it now, that sudden surge of Taiyin Moonlight must have been transmitted into my body through a unique bond between twins when Shuo obtained her fateful opportunity.”

“From then on, I have been entangled in Taiyin’s karmic threads.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui finally understood the reason behind Li Chengsheng’s previous departure. He fell silent for a moment before saying, “Yin Yang Attraction—do you also aim to ascend to the Sun Star?”

“Father, you are correct.”

Li Chengsheng slightly bowed his head and continued, “On the day Shuo ascended to Taiyin, I received the Heavenly Dao Inheritance and have been in prolonged seclusion ever since, trying to unravel its mysteries and cultivate its methods.”

Li Zhirui exhaled deeply, intending to speak further. However, seeing Chengsheng’s earnest demeanor, he shifted his tone and asked, “Are you hiding something else from me?”

As the father of Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, he was well aware of certain subtleties in their actions.

“Shuo did not appear during the manifestation of the Star Gods, not because she was unwilling, but because she couldn’t.”

No longer concealing the truth since his father had uncovered it, Li Chengsheng let out a long breath and explained, “Solitary Yin cannot thrive, and isolated Yang cannot grow. Shuo, lacking her corresponding Sun Star God, accumulated excessive Taiyin Qi within her, which rendered her unable to show herself openly.”

In fact, Yue and Howling Moon also face similar issues, but their physical bodies are formidable enough to allow them to barely move.”

Furthermore, they relayed assurances of Li Chengshuo’s safety because they were under her instructions.”

After all, residing far away on Taiyin Star, informing the family of her predicament would not solve the issue and would only lead to needless worry.”

Upon hearing about the Heavenly Dao Inheritance, Li Zhirui knew that the situation was irrevocable, and Chengsheng’s ascension to the Sun Star was inevitable. Yet, he had not expected Shuo to encounter danger as well.

Father and son sat in silence for a long while before Li Zhirui finally spoke, “I understand this cannot be stopped now. I only hope both you and Shuo can safeguard yourselves.”

Though Li Zhirui had not personally witnessed the grand manifestation of the Star Gods, the family’s records had made it clear that they were a massive and formidable force.

The Sun and Taiyin, as two of the most pivotal among countless stars, or even arguably the most significant, were certainly coveted by numerous Star Gods.

Yet, in the end, these prestigious divine positions were obtained by the relatively unknown siblings Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, who had barely ascended to the Individual Immortal Realm due to the divinity of these roles. It was certain that few Star Gods would willingly accept this outcome.

“In times of insufficient strength, one must learn to lay low!”

Li Zhirui advised earnestly, “I trust that you and your sister will one day command the Four Seas, spread your names throughout the heavens, and become the mightiest of Star Gods.”

“Rest assured, Father! I will protect Shuo with all my might and ensure she suffers no harm!” Li Chengsheng promised firmly.

Li Zhirui shook his head, his gaze piercingly stern, “I want not only Shuo’s safety but yours as well!”

“Yes, Father!” Li Chengsheng’s emotions surged, and his eyes glistened with tears.

Even though he had mentally prepared for this moment, his heart inevitably ached as the time drew near.

“Are you leaving today?”

“Yes, I will ascend to the Sun Star at noon today.”

“Do you have anything you wish to take along?”

“Yang, Li, Yang Li, and the Fusang Divine Tree will accompany me to the Sun Star.”

Li Chengsheng made sure to break off a branch of the Fusang tree and plant it in its original location to allow it to grow gradually.

If, in the future, the family were to produce another descendant with a Yang Spirit Root, they could use this tree to comprehend the Laws. Even if not, it would still serve as a valuable Spiritual Root for the family.

Li Zhirui nodded. The three Spirit Beasts by Chengsheng’s side would both enhance his strength and alleviate his solitude.”

As for the Fusang Divine Tree, it went without saying. It had always been Chengsheng’s Spiritual Object and could only grow into a true Divine Tree on the Sun Star. Otherwise, it would merely remain a Spiritual Root.

“The time is near; let’s go.” Li Zhirui glanced at the sky, noting that it was only one or two hours until noon. He planned to personally escort Li Chengsheng away, just as he had once done for Li Chengshuo.

During this time, Li Zhirui had not been idle; rather, he had imparted his cultivation experience and insights to Li Chengsheng in their entirety.

Though Chengsheng would undergo an explosive rise in cultivation due to the divine feedback from the Sun Star God and ascend to become an Individual Immortal, he was currently merely at the Integration Realm!

Such forced elevation of cultivation was tantamount to pulling up seedlings to make them grow—but he had no choice but to accept it. Thus, Li Zhirui did his utmost to mitigate the potential risks.

As father and son conversed, time sped by. Soon, the sun ascended high into the sky.

“Father, your child takes his leave now. Please take care of yourself and may you find your own path in the Great Tao and attain immortality soon!”

With that, Li Chengsheng performed a grand ceremonial bow by kneeling and knocking his head three times on the ground in reverence.

“Go on, go on. Out among the stars, you and Shuo must support each other.” Li Zhirui waved his hand, his expression tinged with sorrow.
