Chapter 1253 Achingly Painful

Now, she suddenly had them, and they were lightning spiritual roots. Although she was young, she still knew about cultivation common sense.

"Don't worry, both your mother and I are cultivators. It's impossible for you not to have spiritual roots. So I retested your spiritual roots, and I found that you do have them. They're just hidden spiritual roots, which is why they weren't detected when you were in the family."

Mo Shang Wei would naturally not tell his daughter that her spiritual root was stolen from someone else, so he used the excuse of a hidden spiritual root, and it was quite convincing.

The Yinling Root will not manifest unless it is cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. The only prerequisite is that you must begin cultivating.

Because the hidden spiritual root needs to be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage before it can manifest, because you were not detected with a spiritual root before, your family would not allow you to cultivate. If you don't cultivate, the hidden spiritual root will never be discovered in a lifetime.

"I only used a secret technique to make your spiritual root appear in advance, and combined with the practice method that suits your spiritual root, you will naturally be able to cultivate."

With Mo Shang Wei's explanation, Li Meng's face finally broke into a smile. After the joy, her face turned sorrowful again, tears streaming down her cheeks, she choked out:

"Mother... mother, if she could just hold on for a little while longer, maybe she would know that I've also become capable of cultivation. I'm not a disaster for the Long family, and I haven't killed my mother. Wa!"

Lirenmeng is ultimately just a child. The grievances she has suffered before stemmed from two aspects: one was that her mother gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock, and the other was that she lacked spiritual roots and couldn't cultivate. Afterward, her mother passed away, and she was disliked by the people in her family, constantly targeted and bullied, and sent to her unfamiliar father's side. All these changes made her afraid, worried, and sad.

But she knew she had no right to cry, she could only accept it silently. She knew she couldn't control her own destiny, but now her father told her she could cultivate, that in the future she could control her own path. All of her grievances erupted at once.

After a heart-wrenching cry, Li Meng finally moved the half stone pressing on her chest. She obediently wiped away her tears, got off the bed and knelt before Mo Shang Wei's face. After performing a proper bow, she said:

"Father, please accept my bow. Thank you for not giving up on me! In the future, I will work hard to cultivate and make the Dragon Clan regret it, and make Father proud!"

"Good child, get up! You are my daughter, it's my fault that you have suffered."

My relationship with your mother was a match made in heaven. I gave her a token of my affection and promised to visit the Long family to formally propose marriage. At that time, I had no idea she was already pregnant with you.

It was only when I returned to Mo Shang City that it was besieged by a beast tide, almost breaking through the city. I couldn't, because of personal feelings, disregard the lives of all the people in the city. They also have parents, brothers and sisters, and children.

"Besides, I was severely wounded after the siege battle. To prevent those with ill intentions from taking advantage of my weakness, I publicly declared that I had gained something from fighting a high-level monster and needed to retreat to close off for advancement. In reality, I was just closing off to recuperate. And this retreat has lasted until now."

Mo Shangwei didn't know if a seven-year-old girl could understand, but because his daughter had a bad experience at the Long family, she seemed very precocious. He still gave her a half-truth explanation for why he didn't go to find her mother, lest his daughter resent him.

Before, Li Meng did resent her father who she had never met. But now, seeing that he used a secret technique to reveal her hidden spiritual root so she could cultivate, it was clear that he still cherished her as his daughter.

So, Li Meng's resentment in her heart had lessened considerably. Most importantly, the people who were unkind to her were the Long family, not her own father. Even though she hadn't seen her father before, the housekeeper in the mansion took good care of her and no one ever bullied her.

"Li Meng, you now have spiritual roots, so you can start cultivating. However, the environment in the City Lord's Mansion isn't suitable for your cultivation, and I'm not the only child here. To prevent you from being harmed again, I want to send you to a sect to cultivate under a good master. What do you think"

"Li Meng obeyed her father's arrangements for everything."

Li Meng nodded knowingly. She had seen it all during her time at the Long family. Children of the same age would do anything to compete for cultivation resources, and she had heard from Aunt Ding that she had two older sisters and two older brothers ahead of her, none of whom were weak in their cultivation.

She only has a spiritual root now, and hasn't even started cultivating. If her half-siblings knew she was a lightning attribute mutated spiritual root, one could imagine what she would face. Therefore, it's best to follow her father's arrangements.

"Li Meng, don't be afraid. The main reason is that your father doesn't have the Lei Ling root, so he can't guide you in your cultivation. That's why he wants to introduce you to the Xuanjian Sect. No matter if your spiritual root is for practicing Fa Xiu or Jian Xiu, your future will definitely be brighter than your father's."

Mo Shang said earnestly, he wanted to compensate this daughter. The woman he loved most was wronged so much while he was in seclusion, and in the end, she died young. He also felt remorseful.

And a single-attribute lightning spirit root child, he's still worth investing in. He's always treated children with this attitude: whoever has the ability rises to the top, not based on age but on talent.

"The daughter understands that she has caused her father a lot of trouble."

Lily raised her little face and said.

"Take a break for a while. After I talk to my friends from the Xuanjian Sect, I'll send you there. During this time, it's best if you don't leave the courtyard and don't meet outsiders."

Mo Shangwei still cautioned, worried that the child's temperament was unstable and might go out to show off.

"Yes, daughter, I have taken note."

After a while, the father and daughter had reconnected. Mo Shangwei then hurriedly left his little daughter's residence as he had many things to attend to.

On the other side, after returning to his residence, he spent two days meditating and cultivating. However, he always felt uneasy, especially in his dantian area. He had a constant dull ache there.

As night fell, Lian Xi touched his dantian. Focusing his divine consciousness inward, he saw that the three spiritual roots—fire, wood, and earth—in his dantian were still flickering with light. However, no matter how hard he looked, he felt that his spiritual roots seemed wilted and weak, as if they had suffered a severe blow.

"Strange, my dantian wasn't struck during the tribulation before!"

Lian Xi whispered to himself that night.

Looking again at one's own Nascent Soul, it was just a smaller version of oneself, with no changes. It was still closed-eyed and suspended in the center of the Dantian, breathing and circulating spiritual energy, without any major changes.

In the evening, Lian Xiye couldn't see anything and couldn't calm down to cultivate. He just walked around his courtyard, casually checked the Gathering Spirit Array, and then went to find the steward to ask about Mo Shangchen's situation.

After learning that Lord Mo Shang had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and left seclusion, Mo Shangchen also went into seclusion. He wanted to get closer to Eileen, but when he saw a "closed door" sign hanging at the entrance of her courtyard, he could only return to his own courtyard to continue his cultivation.

After more than four years, Du Yan, Ye Qing, and Mu Sheng had all successfully ascended to the Yuan Ying stage. Mo Shangchen had also stabilized his cultivation at the mid-Yuan Ying stage after leaving seclusion. He felt that further cultivation wouldn't bring much effect, so they should start preparing for their departure.

"Eh, Daoist Eileen was the first to ascend to the Yuan Ying stage, how come she's still not out of seclusion"e people I've entrusted with her care will look after her well. They'll make sure she gets her face fixed."Mrs. Wu didn't want to say too much, she only mentioned the important points and then changed...
