Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1633: 1633 Returns

Qi Hao had been keeping an eye on that Imperial Envoy and saw her suddenly smile, grab the sword on the table that symbolized the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, and step onto the stage.

"Hero, your skills are truly impressive. This is the Sword of Martial Arts Alliance Leader."

The hulking man took it. "Officials really do understand propriety. Hahaha, from now on I’m the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch. I order all heroes to leave this place."

Everyone below was dumbfounded. What was going on?

"Of course. If anyone wants to stay behind to be the government’s dogs, that’s fine too.

I hereby declare, there will be no more Martial Arts Conference in the future."

It was like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring up a thousand waves. Qi Hao watched from below, finding it quite entertaining.

Looking at that hulking man, it seemed he was only rough on the outside.

He stood up, and the five elders of the Xie Family followed behind him.

He was the first to leave. After that, people started leaving one after another.

Very soon, more and more people were heading out of the city. "Senior, does this mean there won’t be any Green Forest anymore?" Xie Zhenze asked.

"How could there not be? It’s just an excuse to avoid being controlled by the government."

"So does that mean the Jiang Family is colluding with the government?"

"That I don’t know. Honestly, ordinary people just need to live their lives well."

Qi Hao knew this was nothing but a farce; there would always be people who didn’t want to be controlled.

"Let’s head out and send you back."

Xie Kun nodded excitedly. He could still spend a bit more time with the children.

Qi Hao was curious. Why did their four children have such good Spirit Roots? Xie Kun had no Spirit Root, and his wife had already passed away. Yet the two niece and nephew also had good Spirit Roots. It had to be something about the place they lived, so he was curious about their home.

Xie Kun drove the carriage while they practiced movement technique behind it. The four children would get down to train as well, and the results were quite obvious.

"You’ll understand the benefits of this skill in the future. Once you reach the Cultivation World, everything depends on Spiritual Power. When you someday encounter a situation where you have no Spiritual Power, this will be your chance to survive."

All four nodded, training even more diligently.

Every bit of progress made them happy. Children needed others’ affirmation; getting Qi Hao’s approval made them even more focused.

The Xie Family was quite far from here, but since they were learning the whole way, they only reached the Xie Family after a month and a half.

Qi Hao narrowed his eyes. There were traces of a Natural Array here.

The people in the village all looked quite spirited. Qi Hao wondered if the children here all had Spirit Roots as well.

Xie Kun went to find the village chief. The villagers were all very excited to hear that an Immortal Master had come.

Qi Hao frowned. Among over fifty children in the village, only two had Four Spirit Roots and three had Five Spirit Roots.

The Xie Family was a special case. That night, his Divine Sense swept over the Xie Family. For now, he couldn’t see anything.

Forget it, why was he so fixated? This was the Xie Family. Those four would definitely have the chance to come back in the future. If there was some enormous fortune here that he couldn’t discover now, then it simply wasn’t fated to be his.

The next day, Qi Hao gave a few families some Silver, then took them and left.

It was the first time the children had ridden a Flying Boat. Looking down from the sky, they found everything incredibly fascinating.

In just two days they reached the Barrier, and the Flying Boat flew straight through it. "We’ve already entered the Cultivation World."

The children had all grown up in the same village, and over the past two days, they had learned some things about the Cultivation World, which filled them with longing and reverence.

After returning to the Cultivation World, Qi Hao felt he was about to advance at any moment, but he couldn’t while he was still taking care of these nine children.

He really couldn’t suppress it anymore, so he stopped at the top of a mountain and directly tossed out an Eighth Rank Array Plate. "You all stay over there and don’t disturb me."

With that said, he sat down cross-legged. Xie Zhenze took charge of the eight other children, and they read together.

Qi Hao advanced very quickly, breaking through to the Golden Core Eighth Layer in just two days.

All nine children curiously watched Qi Hao, but they couldn’t tell anything from it.

He spent another day consolidating his cultivation before putting away the Array Plate.

Outside, three Nascent Soul Cultivators had surrounded the place.

"What brings the three of you here?"

"From the Tan Family?"

Qi Hao nodded. "What about it?"

"Nothing." The three cupped their fists and left. They couldn’t afford to provoke the Tan Family now.

Qi Hao smiled. His mother must have successfully reached Divinity Transformation. With a Divinity Transformation master and a Divinity Transformation mother, they probably wouldn’t dare make any moves.

The Cloud-piercing Boat was extremely fast. After twenty days they finally arrived at the gates of the Xuantian Sect.

The disciples immediately saluted. "Greetings, Patriarch."

"Mm. Who’s the Steward on duty today?"

"Grandmaster, that would be me."

"These are the disciples I’ve brought back. Make arrangements for them."

"Yes, Patriarch."

Qi Hao turned to look at the nine children. "Go with them without worry. They’ll take good care of you."

This was their shared fate. After all, they had come from the Mortal World; they needed some reassurance.

After speaking, he quickly left. He wanted to see his parents and his master.

Still, he sent a message to the Sect Master, informing him of the Spirit Roots of the four children, especially the two girls.

Liu Xiaozhu sighed in amazement. One trip out and he’d brought back several disciples with such outstanding talent. He ordered a Steward to take the two girls to the Inner Sect, deciding to leave the matter of their Spirit Roots for later.

When Qi Hao entered Huai Sheng Mountain, he saw a child who looked very much like himself running around outside.

He stared in a daze. Su Yuanyuan came out with a smile. "What’s with that expression?"

"Mother, my little sister is still in your belly. Who is this?"

"Your nephew, Xiao Rue."

"Your nephew—no, my nephew? Eldest Brother? Second Brother?"

"Haha, he’s Qi Hong’s son."

Qi Hao scooped up the little thing in his arms. "I’m your Third Uncle."

Xiao Rue’s eyes curved into a smile. "Third Uncle? The Third Uncle who grew up with my father?"

"That’s right." Qi Hao was already dying of curiosity inside. How did Qi Hong end up with a son? No, more importantly, why was Qi Hong’s son here? No, that wasn’t right either—this really was Qi Hong’s son.

"Grandma, what’s wrong with Third Uncle?"

Su Yuanyuan laughed. "Your Third Uncle is still in shock."

Qi Hao held Xiao Rue tight. "Mother, where’s Qi Hong?"

"In seclusion."

Qi Hao followed her in, still holding on to Xiao Rue, unwilling to let go. How could he like him this much?

"Mother, has my sister come back yet?"

"She has. She should be here soon."

"So I’m the one who returned the latest. Qi Hong brought back a son, and I brought back nine disciples. Mother, two of the girls have Single Water Spirit Root. I’ve already informed the Sect Leader."

"Mm. They’re fated with you. Advancing went very well."

"Mother, Eldest Brother and the others have all formed their Nascent Souls."

Even without seeing them, he knew his elder sister had formed her Nascent Soul; his two older brothers wouldn’t be far behind.

"Mm, don’t be impatient."

"Mother, after you reached Divinity Transformation, when someone stopped me outside and saw my face, they just cupped their fists and left."

"As long as it works. Your father should be close to Divinity Transformation as well."

"All the better. With Father, Mother, and Master all at Divinity Transformation, and my brother and sister likely to reach Divinity Transformation soon, I’ll probably be able to swagger around without issue."

Xiao Rue couldn’t sit still and wriggled to get down.

Only mother and son were left in the room.

"Mother, Xiao Rue’s mother?"
