Chapter 333: Sao'er's daughter-in-law scorns grandfather, a treasure-seizing banquet

Immediately after, a very faint gaze fell upon Shen Qingli.

He didn't say anything, nor did he linger, vanishing in an instant……

If Shen Qingli weren't so perceptive, Old Ancestor Tianqing wouldn't be a pushover, and he wouldn't even notice that he had descended.

Actually, it wasn't really a descent; it was merely a thought moving, then the thought arrived. When the thought scattered, it dissipated.

This left Shen Qingli somewhat puzzled, but she didn't voice her thoughts here.

When she returned to Old Ancestor Tianqing's residence, she then said, "What do you mean?"

Old Ancestor Tianqing furrowed his old brows, shook his head—clearly he didn't understand either—but he said, "Given his realm, even if he's dissatisfied with you, he wouldn't actually lay a hand on you."

Shen Qingli still didn't get it; even if he wouldn't strike, as the one who eloped with his handsome son, she ought to be 'targeted' somehow—his divine sense had descended, so shouldn't he at least intimidate her to make her retreat?

She had prepared herself, and this is all?

Instinctively recalling True Lord Yuanwu's words, she blurted, "Taiqing Dian is for cultivation, forbidding the seven emotions and six desires? That's not right—without the seven emotions and six desires, where would A Jin come from?"

"Hey, you hit the nail on the head," Old Ancestor Tianqing said. "The Young Lord is the youngest in Taiqing Dian; after him, there have been no new descendants in Taiqing Dian. But I myself cannot enter Taiqing Dian, so I've never personally confirmed it."

Shen Qingli frowned deeper, "Could something have happened fifty million years ago that caused Taiqing Dian to change entirely, leading it down the path of absolute asceticism?"

"I can't rule that out," Old Ancestor Tianqing actually had a similar suspicion, especially in recent years, he had faintly sensed that Taiqing Dian seemed to be deliberately severing karma.

If that were truly the case……

Old Ancestor Tianqing knitted his brows, "You and your childhood sweetheart husband are in trouble then."

If it were merely due to strength or background, Old Ancestor Tianqing wouldn't worry; he knows Shen Qingli's abilities well.

But if not, and instead there is some more special, irreversible cause, then it would be difficult.

Shen Qingli rubbed her forehead, "Regardless of their reasons, I have sworn an oath to ascend Taiqing Dian within three years to find A Jin."

Old Ancestor Tianqing actually heard that oath.

He initially thought Shen Qingli had a bit of youthful vigor, which was understandable.

But all the Dao acknowledge it! So it's definitely not just youthful impulsiveness.

"Well then, we can't reach Taiqing Dian for now. In a month, the Huaxu Tomb of the He clan will open to the public; I'll first ask Si Yuan for a slot to let you in."

"You've already awakened the Huaxu bloodline; going there will benefit you." Old Ancestor Tianqing mused, eating bite by bite, regardless of Taiqing Dian's specifics, strengthening oneself first is never wrong.

"Is that the light?" Shen Qingli had originally wanted to go in and try her luck; good thing she didn't!

Old Ancestor Tianqing had already said, "Not bad; the He clan also sent a family elder monster to guard the tomb. The old coot won't easily strike, but anyone who dares to force their way in will surely die."

Shen Qingli fell silent; she truly hadn't noticed anyone in the light!

Moreover, she had dug up the ore right under the other's eyelids.

The more she recalled and examined it, the more panicked she became.

Indeed, wealth is a devil; she had been blinded, forgetting to calmly examine.

"For this month, just stay at my place; don't worry about anything else, just prepare to enter the tomb."

"All right." Shen Qingli nodded, then fished out Jiu Li, wanting Old Ancestor Tianqing to also take a look at him.

"Ah!" Jiu Li let out a surprised, childish cry, "Old Man Tiān Xīng, so you're in the Three Pure Heavens!"

Shen Qingli was about to chide Jiu Li for his rudeness when Old Ancestor Tianqing already flicked Jiu Li's forehead.

"Ow!" Jiu Li cried out in pain.

"This little thing has grown quite a bit."

Old Ancestor Tianqing felt wistful; when he left, this little metal-eating beast was merely at the level of a celestial novice.

Now its physique rivals the hardness of a wild beast!

This is normal, after all, having followed A Li and grasped the primordial force of Taiji, this little thing.

"You too must grow well; by then, help A Li more."

Old Ancestor Tianqing knew well that the Huaxu Tomb would surely be a storm of blood and gore!

Although he had confidence in Shen Qingli's bloodline, talent, and ability, he couldn't help but worry.

"No need for you to say! I definitely will!"

Jiu Li rubbed his forehead as he retreated, "It really hurts!"

This old man's grip is truly strong, second only to A Li's childhood husband.

……

Afterward, Shen Qingli, temporarily residing at the Three Pure Temple, also rarely enjoyed a peaceful, leisurely stretch of days.

Yet she didn't feel content; instead, she often missed Di Jin, or her parents, brothers, uncles, friends, and so on.

Fortunately, she could easily dispel distracting thoughts and focus on cultivation! Thus, the time she spent yearning wasn't actually much.

Xiao Yu Jia also grew a little bit with the aid of the space.

Shen Qingli originally thought she could remain calm until the month's end.

However, that wasn't the case; Old Ancestor Tianqing brought her an invitation.

"What is this?" Shen Qingli read the contents, "The Three Pure Mystic Maiden invites me to attend her wedding banquet?"

"Not bad." Old Ancestor Tianqing nodded, but if there were no special reason, he couldn't possibly use this invitation to disturb Shen Qingli's cultivation.

The reason he would do so is: "The Three Pure Mystic Maiden seems certain you must enter the Huaxu Tomb, even getting He Tian's permission—so long as you attend the wedding banquet, she'll grant you a slot to enter the Huaxu Tomb. Does she know you've awakened the Huaxu bloodline?"

Bloodline is akin to cultivation realm; unless one awakens a bloodline older than Huaxu, even as strong as He Tian's mother, one cannot see through Shen Qingli's bloodline power.

Unless Shen Qingli displays her bloodline divine technique, then everyone would know.

However, according to Old Ancestor Tianqing's knowledge, after Shen Qingli ascended to the Three Pure Heavens, she had not displayed her bloodline divine technique.

"She should know." Shen Qingli briefly explained the grudges of the lower realm.

Old Ancestor Tianqing then had a clear idea: "Then I'll accompany you; this slot, we can obtain it ourselves, we'll still get it ourselves."

Si Yuan Tianjun, although willing to give, the Huaxu Tomb is no ordinary matter! Taking this slot means incurring a huge favor.

The Heavenly Purity Old Ancestor himself actually had nothing, but the Primordial Heavenly Lord demanded that Shen Qingli enter the tomb, after which they must help their Si clan.

How does it count as helping?

How far must the help go?

The Heavenly Purity Old Ancestor was originally in a tug-of-war with the other side!

I didn't expect the Three Pure Mysterious Lady to deliver this note, and it also came with a handwritten letter from the Heaven Battle Mother.

"Alright." Shen Qingli wasn't afraid of the Three Pure Mysterious Lady either; it was just this groom's name that made her frown, "And Jianshu?"

"What's wrong?" The Heavenly Purity Old Ancestor had long forgotten this person Pei Jianshu, not knowing what the problem was.

Shen Qingli recalled Di Jin's words, but also thought it unlikely, so she shook her head: "Nothing, let's go."

Since it's fated to enter the Splendid Rest Tomb, we will surely encounter the Three Pure Mysterious Lady again; knowing early what she intends to do is also good.

Thus, when the news of Shen Qingli attending the banquet was sent back, the Three Pure Mysterious Lady went to find Cangpei: "She agreed; our plan can begin."

This time, without the Imperial Young Venerable's help!

Shen Qingli, this lowly servant, will surely be unable to fly even with wings!

However—
