Chapter 745: 314: Sect Leader’s Air!
First Encounter with Heavenly Will_2 Chapter 745: 314: Sect Leader’s Air!
First Encounter with Heavenly Will_2 They were often dispatched to family-run businesses to do some of the work only mortals were capable of; this provided them with a livelihood and a pillar of support.
Whether they would become rich was entirely up to their individual efforts.
Only a loving and impartial father like Chen Dengming would never neglect his children, and even provides them with excellent resources and living conditions.
…
At this moment, within the Chen Residence, Chen Jing and his wife, Li Xue, were entertaining a group of visiting cultivator guests.
...
Afterward, Chen Jing, with a smile, accompanies his pregnant wife to rest.
“My lady, you should rest first.
I and Lord Taishan will attend to the remaining guests,” Chen Jing said with a smile looking at Li Xue, who was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal.
Now he was twenty-six years old and much more mature than before.
He had a tall and broad body due to years of martial arts training.
Under his broad forehead, his tiger-like eyes were gleaming.
Although he was not a cultivator, he was an Innate Eightfold warrior, very much like Chen Dengming in his younger days.
“Hmm, I am not tired, you go ahead.” Li Xue said warmly, “My lord, remember to drink less.
Those are spiritual wines, and they can easily intoxicate you.”
“Even the most intoxicating wine is no match for the intoxication of your dimple.”
Chen Jing laughed and complimented her.
In his eyes, his wife was a Heavenly Immortal.
After all, he’s still a mortal.
No matter how illustrious his father is, it cannot change the fact that he is a mortal.
Yet his wife was a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a high grade Spiritual Root.
Therefore, he was already very satisfied with what he had.
The only regret was that he could not cultivate to become an Immortal.
If he could overcome this hurdle, with the resources his father had prepared for him, he, at minimum, would be able to mix up to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Li Xue had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage three years ago after taking a Foundation Establishment Pill.
At this time, after watching Chen Jing leave the room, the gentle look in Li Xue’s eyes dimmed.
She reached out and touched her protruding belly.
She didn’t know when, but she was already starting to feel tired and weary, even fatigued with her current life.
People say that life is like a play.
She never expected her life to turn into a play, where every day she had to act alongside her mortal husband.
It was truly exhausting.
The small amount of emotion she had accumulated when she initially fell in love had now worn thin.
There were no feelings of enthusiasm or anticipation left, only fatigue.
She thought about how decades later, she might become a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, while her husband would probably be an old wrinkled man by then.
The rumors and gossip that would circulate then would no doubt be even more derogatory than what she was hearing now, and the thought of it made her feel weary.
Everyone loves face and has vanity, especially as the wife of Chen Dengming, the Sect Master of the Longevity Sect.
After being used to being pursued every day, how could she bear so much gossip behind her back?
These were the consequences of her choice.
“Is this the life of a mortal?
Taking a wife, having children, raising offspring…
distracting so much of the energy that could be used for cultivation on one’s children and husband…
no wonder mother back then…”
Li Xue stroked her swollen belly, her thoughts once again returning to her mother, Cheng Yunxue, the Golden Core Elder of Five Elements Escape Sect.
She used to not understand her mother’s choices and had even blamed her, but now that she was a mother herself and experiencing the same circumstances, she began to appreciate her mother’s past decisions.
Her father, Li Rong, was not exactly a mortal, but only a low-level Qi cultivation Loose Cultivator, and Cheng Yunxue was already like that.
Even more so, her husband was just a mortal.
Perhaps the only difference was that this mortal’s father, her father-in-law, was incredibly powerful.
An inexplicable emotion suddenly welled up in her heart at this moment.
The already quiet room became even more peaceful, and the light that streamed in also dimmed considerably, differing starkly from the lively atmosphere outside.
…
Chen Dengming, who had just left the Hazardous Hall, furrowed his brows, as a faint strange feeling arose in his heart.
He suddenly stopped to explore this feeling but found nothing.
Instead, through Heartfelt Perception, he captured the current state of his Incarnation deep underwater, cultivating and exploring.
After the battle with the Yongxin Sword Son, the Incarnation had thoroughly proven its amazing strength.
As long as it was within the sea, the Incarnation could demonstrate a strength almost superior to that of an ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Even a Golden Core Daoist with the Dao Orthodoxy would not be its rival.
And the strength of the Incarnation would keep growing with the increase in Incense Believer numbers and self-cultivation.
The existence of the Heart of the Ocean was like a level-five Spirit Vein for the Incarnation, providing a sustainable resource for cultivation.
In all regions where water is present, the Heart of the Ocean could quickly draw Water Spirit Qi to assist the Incarnation in cultivation.
Therefore, the growth rate of the Incarnation was absolutely impressive.
However, currently, besides daily self-cultivation, the Incarnation also explored the depths of the East Immortal Sea under Chen Dengming’s instruction, seeking any hidden blessings or remains of the Watertown left by cultivators.
The East Immortal Sea was immensely deep and wide, and a section of the sea was almost equivalent to half of the Four Regions.
This sea had once harbored and seen the destruction of many Immortal Sects, and many Water Towns had been concealed here.
But in the depths of the seaalso resided extremely fierce sea beasts and sea demons that could rival Nascent Soul creatures.
The threats of sea pressure and sea monsters, along with the sparse Spirit Qi in the deep sea underlined the danger and difficulty exploration.
