How could I not know if something is weighing on your mind? These past few days, you tried to say something several times but held back each time. Now that you've returned, are you preparing to bid farewell to your mother and me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his father's words, Ye Qingxuan opened his mouth to speak, but his father raised a hand to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After silencing his son's intended words, his father continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When your spiritual root was detected, the neighbors were filled with envy. At that time, your mother was so proud, believing her son had a bright future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment your spiritual root was detected, your mother and I knew that one day you would leave us. This was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although your mother and I miss you, we do not wish to become a burden to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immortal and mortal realms are separated; ultimately, we cannot accompany you to the very end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping you by our side might make your mother and me happy at first, but later, we would only regret becoming an obstacle to your progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, you and Mother are not a burden to your son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan could not help but interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, his father could not help but smile and gave him a light punch on the shoulder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat, your old father was just using a metaphor. I only hope you understand that although your parents worry about you, we want even more for you to have a bright future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, there is one thing you and I share. When your father was young, I also loved running to the library.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his father's eyes, and he continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the library, I saw the vast world outside. At that time, I spent all day imagining I was the chosen one, destined to awaken a spiritual root and travel the mountains and rivers of the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, it was all just a dream. The library ignited your father's longing for the outside world, but the lack of a spiritual root destroyed my hopes. My youthful delusions ultimately became the ramblings of a madman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his father let out a final bitter, self-mocking laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to his father's story, Ye Qingxuan could not help but call out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he did not know what else to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father shook his head, patted Ye Qingxuan's shoulder again, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So! Do not stop your steps for your parents, or it will only make us feel uneasy in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you achieve great success out there, even if your parents die later, we will pass away with smiles on our faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go! Go see the outside world for your old father. Take my youthful delusions with you and venture forth on the path of immortality!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, actually, staying by you and Mother's side would not have much impact on my future. I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan almost could not help but reveal his special situation, but his father directly waved his hand to interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough, enough! Do you really think your old father and your mother cannot live without you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To tell you the truth, your mother and I have already discussed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After you leave, your mother and I will have a few more children. Hehe, by the time your younger brothers and sisters are born, it will be a miracle if we don't forget about you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan looked completely bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So all his hesitation was for nothing; his parents had already made up their minds?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Qingxuan thought for a moment and realized this might actually be for the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His parents were not yet old. If they had a few younger brothers and sisters, having them to accompany the elderly couple would allow him to rest easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Qingxuan's bewildered expression, his father smiled proudly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have already planned it. We will have two children, preferably one boy and one girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you, my boy, achieve success out there, remember to take care of your future younger brothers and sisters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Ye Qingxuan's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he quickly replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! Good! Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, his father glanced at Ye Qingxuan and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When your younger brothers and sisters grow up, have them bear me a few grandchildren and granddaughters. If I rely on you, there is no hope in this lifetime. Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan was left with a face full of black lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hey, he hadn't even left yet, and the old man was already planning so far ahead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was not over. His father spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that cultivators have very long lifespans!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps by then, the descendants of your younger brothers and sisters, my grandchildren or great-grandchildren, will have spiritual roots. When they begin to cultivate, you must be their backing and ensure they are not bullied!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his father's far-sighted arrangements, Ye Qingxuan patted his head and said weakly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! I will listen to you, old sir! After all, you are my father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, his father wore an expression of pride and could not help but say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, good to know. Back in the day, before your old father tested for a spiritual root, I planned out my cultivation path quite extensively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas! The path I originally planned for your grandparents can now only be walked by your mother and me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan looked at his father speechlessly and said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never met his grandparents, only knowing that when his father was seventeen, they were attacked by a suddenly appeared beast while working as laborers outside the city and died a tragic death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just did not expect his father, even as a child, to have such active thoughts. One could only say he was indeed his father's son!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his father's proud expression as he envisioned the future, Ye Qingxuan stepped forward and gave his father a hug, saying softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not know that his father said all this simply to dispel his worries and allow him to be at peace while away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan's father, suddenly embraced by his own son and hearing his son's words of gratitude, felt his eyes grow slightly moist. He hugged his son tightly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you are away, take good care of yourself. Your mother and I do not need you to worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Ye Qingxuan's mother prepared a lavish meal for him, all of it his favorite dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan held back his tears and finished the large table of food his mother had prepared for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meal lasted a very long time, and it had not even ended when Ye Yonglun arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving, Ye Yonglun did not disturb Ye Qingxuan's family. He simply stood silently not far outside the door, gazing at Ye Qingxuan's family with a dazed expression, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after finishing the meal did Ye Qingxuan realize that Ye Yonglun had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further delay, Ye Qingxuan hugged his parents tightly one last time, then knelt and kowtowed three loud times to the elders, speaking in a heavy voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, Mother, take care of your health. Your son is leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spoken, he stood up decisively, held back his tears, walked outside, and nodded to Ye Yonglun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ye Yonglun summoned his magic sword, which transformed into a streak of light, and carried Ye Qingxuan away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan's mother, who had been silently weeping on the spot, could no longer hold back. She ran out and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xuan'er, you must protect yourself well! Your father and I do not need you to worry! Waaah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan's father slowly stepped forward, embraced his wife, and let her weep freely in his arms without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>",1362,"2026-06-12T14:26:54.351Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","86ac99d6b96da39c3c75fb306ded220057d938d6cdff3016fa9c70887d4e658f","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-10","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-8",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
