Time ticked by.

After spending two years in the Well of Prenatal Qi, Li Mu could only sigh.

The rewards he had gained from checking in at the Well of Prenatal Qi was getting lesser and lesser.

This meant that the importance of the Well of Prenatal Qi had decreased.

Now, the State of Great Xia’s imperial palace and Mount Yan had become Sacred Grounds for cultivation.

And by extension, the Imperial Capital as well.

Countless of Warriors from the State of Great Xia rushed towards the Imperial Capital and Mount Yan.

The originally empty Mount Yan became full of cultivation caverns.

The army camps around the Imperial Capital had also become areas of envy.

In order to reward the sergeants of the State of Great Xia, Liu An opened up the area around the Imperial Ancestral Temple and allowed them to use it.

“I should go and find another place where I can check in.”

“I’ll leave this place to Liu An!”

After leaving a letter at the bottom of the well, Li Mu left.

As a fifth level Master of the virtual realm, he could easily slay any demons.

Li Mu wasn’t scared of them anymore.

In the Well of Prenatal Qi, the highest reward he got from checking in was now only ten years of power.

He might as well go to the Xia Family’s Forbidden Grounds.

Bringing along Liu An’s journal of living records, Li Mu headed back to the Xia Family’s house.

Concubine Jing would definitely like to see this.

The contents inside were even more exciting than a novel.

Everyday, in the Xia Family’s yard, Concubine Jing sat on a rocking chair with her two maids standing next to her.

The rocking chair was similar to the one in Shouning Palace.

However, Concubine Jing did not have the books she liked to read with her.

Everyday, she just gazed at the sun until dark. When it got dark, she simply waited until it was daybreak again.

She had nothing to do but wait for death.

“My lady.” Li Mu bowed and greeted her sincerely.

Back then, when he had no one else to rely on, he and Concubine Jing had depended on each other to pass through the difficult times.

“Little Li, you’re back!”

Hearing a familiar voice, Concubine Jing froze for a moment, then turned her head.

“I’m back!”

“Is Liu An doing alright?”

“Yes, he’s doing well.” As Li Mu spoke, he took out Liu An’s living records.

It was almost two feet thick.

Opening up every page, it was about a square meter large.

It contained a record of all of Liu An’s activities in the past thirty years.

“This is…”

“This is a journal of His Majesty’s living records, including his daily activities.”

“Let me see!” Concubine Jing exclaim in surprise.

She didn’t notice where Li Mu had taken the journal out from, nor did she question how Li Mu had managed to carry such a heavy thing.

After talking briefly, Concubine Jing picked up the first page and started to browse through Liu An’s living records right from the beginning.

Li Mu massaged Concubine Jing’s shoulders for a while, then left silently.

When he returned to the cavern in the Forbidden Grounds, Li Mu said silently to himself, “Checking in.”

“Liu Yu, the people at Honghai Sacred Ground have went overboard.” In the yard, Xia Shiyin said angrily.

One year ago, Liu Yu had come out of isolation.

Now, he was a first level Perfected Person.

A few days ago, he had just become a second level Perfected Person. The entire Xia Family celebrated that he had finally reached the peak of a Perfected Person.

But the Xia Family wasn’t happy for long.

Many of the Xia Family’s disciples had been attacked by the people at the Honghai Sacred Ground.

This was a huge blow to the Xia Family.

“I’ll go teach them a lesson. Do they really think our Xia Family can’t do anything about it?” Liu Yu said angrily.

Drawing out his sword, he started to head to the Forbidden Ground.

“I’ll go with you!” Xia Shiyin said.

“No!”

“You’re just at the third Saint-level. If you go, you’ll just die. If I can’t kill them, at least I can run away. With you around, I can’t do anything,” Liu Yu said, staring at Xia Shiyin.

“Are you saying that I’m a burden?”

“Shiyin, I might die,” Liu Yu said solemnly.

He had gone in and out of the Xia Family’s house several times to cultivate.

Every time he headed to Zhongzhou, he would be humiliated by the disciples there.

He had heard about everything Xia Shiyin just told him about before while he was in the Forbidden Grounds.

The people at the Honghai Sacred Ground wanted to kill the clans in the South Continent.

Many of their disciples had thus been killed.

Even the Xia Family’s Bailing valley was destroyed.

“If I knew that, I wouldn’t have told you what was going on. I’ll wait for you to come back,” Xia Shiyin said. Seeing that Liu Yu was persistent, she wiped away her tears.

After Liu Yu left, Xia Shiyin headed to the Forbidden Grounds to wait where their ancestor was at.

Two months later, rows of the soul flickers in the Xia Family’s Hall of Soul Flickers had been extinguished.

Many Xia Family members were gathered outside the Forbidden Grounds.

“Ancestor, please save us! My poor child!” Their cries echoed in the valley.

It was heartbreaking to hear their cries.

In the Forbidden Ground, it was very quiet, as if nothing had happened.

“If the ancestor doesn’t come out after such a big incident has happened, the people of Honghai Sacred Ground will come to make trouble for us.”

“They are already here. We can’t rely on our ancestor anymore. We have to fight them!”

“How do we fight them? The people at Honghai Sacred Ground have twelve masters halfway to the Virtual Realm. Even if the ancestor was here, we would only have three masters in total.”

“We are already in hiding. Why won’t the Zhongzhou bastards let us off?”

Back then, under the threat of Zhongzhou, they had hidden in Muguang Mountain and cut themselves off from the rest of the world.

“There are no good people in Zhongzhou! I pity those South Continent people who live in Zhongzhou,” a Xia Family elder said miserably.

In the Forbidden Ground’s valley, Li Mu swallowed a True Power Pill and sighed.

“Checking in!”

“Congratulations to the host for checking in! You’re rewarded with eighty years of power!”

“Huh? What’s going on? The reward increased again?” Li Mu found it strange.

Previously, checking in at the same location would decrease his reward.

But checking in to the Xia Family’s Forbidden Ground again, the reward was still eighty years of power.

Why had it suddenly changed?

“Unless something changed in the Xia Family? Or the Forbidden Ground?”

After the Demon Locking Well became the Well of Prenatal Qi, Li Mu was no longer surprised.

He hadn’t gotten significant rewards after staying in the Demon Locking Well for such a long time. Only when it became the Well of Prenatal Qi did he start getting good rewards again.

With these eighty years of power, in addition to what he had gained previously, he might be able to reach the sixth level of the Virtual Realm.

But Li Mu didn’t do that.

Instead, he came down from the cliff and headed towards the Forbidden Ground.

In a valley a few miles deep into the Forbidden Ground, there was a small wooden hut surrounded by tall grass.

Beside the hut, there was a small stream.

With birds chirping and the sound of flowing water, it looked like paradise.

Li Mu walked in front of the small wooden hut and pushed it gently.

Crack!

The wooden door collapsed and broke onto the ground.

Inside, an old man sat cross-legged on a wooden bed.

The old man seemed to be asleep.

“This must be the Xia Family’s ancestor!” He sighed.

So he had already gone to heaven.

Scanning his surroundings, he saw that the hut was minimally decorated with just a stool, a table, and a bed.

Other than a kitchen outside the hut, there was nothing else in the hut.

Seeing the countless words on the table, Li Mu went forward to take a closer look and sighed.

“Descendants, if you manage to come here, that means that you’re already halfway to the Virtual Realm. The Xia Family was originally from the South Continent. After failing to enter Zhongzhou, I used my last breath to protect the Xia Clan at Bailing Valley. When there is a descendant of the Virtual Realm, they can revive the honor of the South Continent people…”

It was his last words!

The entire table with covered with paper.

They were all about his dissatisfaction towards the Zhongzhou people and his disappointment towards his belated awakening.

Toward the end, he even addressed the Zhongzhou people as “wild bastards”.

In his words, it was evident that he was bitter towards the Zhongzhou people who had robbed the people of the South Continent and caused them to suffer huge losses during their war with demons.
