Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1388: Return

Without stopping along the way, the family returned to the foot of the Xuantian Sect’s mountain after a month.

After being away for almost a year, there was still a sense of familiarity here.

Zhu Huai’en had not entered seclusion, waiting for his two disciples. However, they had not returned for such a long time, and he wanted to go look for them, but the Sect Leader reassured him.

Tan Shaoting’s family arrived at the entrance. He noticed, and flashed to the sect’s entrance.

At this moment, Tan Shaoting and his wife were showing their Identity Jade tokens, when they heard their two sons excitedly calling "Master!"

Su Yuanyuan found it amusing; these two weren’t missing their master, but because their master had made too grand an entrance.

Zhu Huai’en, seeing the two youngsters, had an expression on his stiff face, even though it looked more awkward.

"I’ll bring them inside; the discipleship ceremony is in a month."

The couple watched as their two sons disappeared from view.

The gatekeeper was shocked; even though they did not recognize the one who appeared earlier, the fact that he could vanish at the sect’s entrance confirmed he was the sect’s ancestor.

These two same sect sons were actually disciples of the ancestor? Moreover, they were to perform the discipleship ceremony?

Su Yuanyuan took her Identity Jade, and the couple quickly entered the sect, not wanting to become the focus.

Soon, the news that the couple’s two sons had become the ancestor’s disciples spread. Some didn’t recognize the couple, but knew they were the only loose cultivators admitted into the Xuantian Sect.

Su Yuanyuan smiled wryly, "Now there’s no avoiding fame."

"People will know eventually."

Now only the couple was left, and Tan Shaoting was really letting loose.

The next day, the couple went to submit their mission, receiving points and rewards. They also confirmed the registration time for the selection competition, afraid of missing it.

With the two little ones suddenly not around, the couple found it very unsettling.

That day, they couldn’t do anything at all. The couple knew it was a mindset issue, but still couldn’t help worrying about the two little ones.

When the three older ones left them, they were already grown, unlike Qi Hao and Qi Xuan; the two hadn’t yet begun cultivation now.

Tan Shaoting still sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to Qi Wen, originally planning not to disturb the young woman, but seeing his wife’s odd expression, he felt the same.

After a long time, Qi Wen finally replied; she was on the back mountain, where there had been a demon beast riot.

Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Su Yuanyuan jumped up and headed outside.

Tan Shaoting followed his wife, both of them quite anxious.

The speed of a Golden Core Cultivator was incomparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s, and Tan Shaoting held Su Yuanyuan close as they quickly reached where their daughter mentioned.

There were already five Foundation Establishment Cultivators here, taking this task from the mission hall.

Su Yuanyuan anxiously searched for her daughter, but within the range of her Divine Sense, there was no sign of her. She was truly scared now.

She sent her daughter a Sound Transmission Talisman but received no reply.

Su Yuanyuan quickly reached a Qi Cultivation Cultivator’s side.

"Have you seen Tan Qiweng?"

The young female cultivator was startled. "Reporting to the senior, we have been with Tan Qiweng all along; just after the incident, we split up. She should have gone east."

Su Yuanyuan knew the young female cultivator was telling the truth, so she tossed her an Elixir Bottle and quickly left.

The young female cultivator held the Elixir Bottle, which contained the Spirit Revitalizing Pill issued by the sect; this senior was indeed generous.

Why didn’t her daughter have any elixirs? The thoughts of these seniors were truly different.

After knowing the approximate direction, Su Yuanyuan flew there using Sword Control.

Tan Shaoting followed his wife, both with their Divine Senses fully extended, but after flying for a long time and reaching the foot of the mountain, they still hadn’t sensed their daughter.

Su Yuanyuan’s face was pale, her fear palpable.

"Tan Shaoting, what do we do? Why can’t we find Qi Wen?"

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid; we don’t have any special sensing ability, and Qi Wen has Gu Ersheng with her. Even if he is in dormancy, he will awaken if Qi Wen is in danger."

Tan Shaoting was comforting his wife, and himself.

Su Yuanyuan couldn’t stand it. She continued with Sword Flight, determined to go into the mountains. No matter what it took, she had to find her daughter.

Qi Wen felt very frustrated; how did she end up inside an array? What kind of array was this?

She understood First Order Arrays and had looked at some Second Rank ones.

She silently vowed to study arrays upon returning, as it was something she could no longer ignore.

She had been wandering here for quite long, yet hadn’t found a single flaw or break.

"What does this mean? Are they trapping me here?"

With no clue whatsoever, she suddenly thought of sending her mom a Sound Transmission Talisman, but couldn’t send it out; the area was blocked. It was truly exasperating.

With no alternative, Qi Wen found a place to sit, realizing she was agitated and couldn’t calm down.

She set up a Protection Array Plate beside herself and calmed her mind for cultivation.

Soon, she entered the Unity of Heaven and Man state. When Qi Wen came to, three hours had already passed; she felt her senses sharpened.

Feeling calm now, she continued observing the array.

Actually, whether naturally formed or man-made, every array can be broken.

Despite not being clueless, she couldn’t identify any trace of the array.

Qi Wen recited the Heart Calming Scripture in her mind, taking quite a while to regain peace.

Even here, she was affected. Her mind recalled arrays she had seen before, but none were like this.

She remembered her mom saying, "Books are wished for when the time comes."

With truly no ideas, she sat and pulled out a book on arrays, muttering "What is this? Sharpen the spear before battle, not sharp but bright?"

Initially unable to focus, after quite some time, she was able to read seriously.

Until the end, she finally found a clue.

Following what was described, her feet moved constantly; she didn’t know how long had passed when suddenly she felt openness. Still not daring to stop, her feet moved disjointedly, until she saw marks she had made and finally stopped.

Here, she had guessed correctly. Thinking back, it was quite helpless; she relied on guessing to get out.

Not daring to linger here, she left quickly.

Feeling the vibration from the Sound Transmission Talisman, she took it out immediately.

It was filled with her parents’ messages, which she promptly replied to.

Su Yuanyuan had been searching the mountains for a long time but still hadn’t found her.

Suddenly sensing the vibration from the Sound Transmission Talisman, she knew her daughter’s location now.

Tan Shaoting pulled his wife along, quickly departing via Sword Control.

The earlier anxiety persisted until now, upon receiving word of their daughter. Su Yuanyuan felt utterly exhausted.
