Chapter 50: Su Chacha Dying of Jealousy

If that's the case, then this star phenomenon power might as well not exist!

As soon as this thought arose, Shen Qingli felt a tremor under her feet!

The endless darkness rippled like waves.

Black lotuses bloomed beneath her feet.

At the same time, black lotuses bloomed in the sky above the location of Star Phenomenon Mountain.

"Does this count as movement?" Shen Kuo asked.

"What is this?" All the elders looked confused, gazing at Master Huayuan.

Master Huayuan shook his head. "I've never seen this before."

"Could it be the Universal Power?" Ji Wanxing asked doubtfully.

Master Huayuan still shook his head. "The power our Heavenly Star Sect's founder obtained is the Universal Power; its manifestation is a sky full of stars."

Never before seen such black lotus blossoming, but given that the one causing the commotion is Shen Qingli, it seems rather normal.

"No matter what, there's movement." Zhao Qingshan's anxiety lessened considerably; as for what exactly was obtained, we'll know when the child comes out.

But Shen Qingli didn't emerge for a month; after the black lotus rippled open, she fell asleep in that shimmering black ripple, her body entwined with silken starlight, as if transformed into a cocoon.

Inside the cocoon, strands of black qi seeped from Shen Qingli's body; the demonic energy in her meridians, dantian, bones, and flesh was being extracted.

Obviously, Star Phenomenon Mountain was stripping away her demonic nature.

Moreover, as the extraction proceeded smoothly, the black lotus gradually turned white.

"It even changes color?" The members of the Heavenly Star Sect all looked bewildered.

Shen Kuo, however, felt a growing unease. "I don't feel good about this."

Father and daughter share a heart; he knew this feeling didn't come from nowhere.

"Can I go in?" Shen Kuo couldn't sit still.

"No, you're too old." Ji Wanxing frowned. "Don't worry, Star Phenomenon Mountain shouldn't harbor ill will toward those who enter; it should be fine."

"What about demonic cultivators?" Shen Kuo suddenly asked.

Ji Wanxing stared for a moment. "Not even that."

Several elders' expressions remained unchanged, but Master Huayuan's eyelid twitched!

"There is a possibility," Master Huayuan said. "If Star Phenomenon Mountain feels that Xiao Qingli shouldn't fall into demonic cultivation, it might strip away her demonic nature."

"That wouldn't be a bad thing, would it?" Zhao Qingshan asked.

"I feel uneasy, or could we let A Li come out first?"

Shen Kuo wasn't certain of the specifics, but he trusted their bloodline sense—especially that of the Shen Phoenix Clan—which never fails.

"Wait, look, what is that?" Liu Meng, sharp-eyed, noticed a crack on the white lotus petal.

At the same time, Shen Qingli inside the cocoon opened her eyes; a pair of purple pupils, visible through the silk, gradually grew cold.

"Come back!"

Shen Qingli gave a cold shout, and she burst forth from the cocoon.

The scattered black qi, at this moment, turned into myriad threads and returned to her body.

"Hum!"

"Hum! Hum! ……"

Star Phenomenon Mountain shuddered violently, making the entire Heavenly Star Sect tremble.

The already shabby mountain gate collapsed outright.

"I said, come back!"

Shen Qingli could feel the demonic energy returning slowly, obviously impeded.

But what is hers—no one, not even the cosmos of stars, can dare to take it away!

"I said, come back!"

Shen Qingli's resolute voice echoed in the darkness!

Reborn for a lifetime—

No one can force her to do what she refuses!

No one can dare to seize her power!

Heaven, cannot.

Dao, also cannot!

For a moment……

In the heavens, within the universe, those dark "things" that have remained unchanged for millions of years suddenly stirred.

The sky over the Heavenly Star Sect darkened.

The sky over the Xuanti Continent darkened.

The whole world's sky darkened.

Within the Changshui Shen Clan—

"What's going on?"

As the head of the Shen Clan, Shen Yuan immediately ordered an investigation.

But a servant came running to report, "My lord, the eldest miss has awakened."

"A Li awakened?" Shen Yuan, forgetting whether it was day or night, immediately rushed toward Shen Qingli's quarters.

Su Chacha, slowly opening her eyes, first saw Shen Yuan, who bore a striking resemblance to Shen Kuo, and she nearly panicked.

"A Li, have you awakened?" Shen Yuan asked gently, "How do you feel? Is anywhere uncomfortable?"

A Li,

Su Chacha instantly regained consciousness!

That's right.

She is now within the Changshui Shen clan!

She is now Shen Qingli, the Shen clan's only precious jewel.

"What... what happened to me?"

Su Chacha felt her whole body, discovering that the feeling of powerlessness had vanished, and her cultivation strength had returned!

She was greatly shocked! Yet she stubbornly suppressed it—no wonder the Changshui Shen clan, indeed extraordinary!

All the bones in her body had been pulled out; originally her life was hard to preserve, but unexpectedly the Shen clan truly had a way to save her life—not only that, they could also restore her cultivation; her master surely could be saved as well!

"Ai." Shen Yuan looked at her with heartache, "You almost lost your life, you know?"

Su Chacha certainly knew, but what she wanted to know was how her life was preserved.

"Fortunately you came back in time; I already used spirit lotus root to help you reshape your bones, temporarily stabilizing your vitality and cultivation, you..."

"Has the little sister awakened?"

"Has the little niece awakened?"

"……"

A series of anxious greetings interrupted Shen Yuan's words.

Shen Qingli's cousins and uncles, except those still in closed-door cultivation, all came.

Shen Yuan scolded everyone, telling them to be quiet, then let the person in.

Everyone, upon seeing Su Chacha still lying on the bed, frail and pitiful, as if she could shatter at any moment, felt extreme heartache.

"Why are you still so weak? Big brother, are you incapable?!"

"Uncle, if you can't, let my father come."

"All of you, shut up!"

Under Shen Yuan's reprimand, everyone finally quieted again, but their gazes at Su Chacha were full of affection and pity.

Facing all those concerned eyes and those excellent faces, Su Chacha was jealous to death!

Before coming, although she knew the Changshui Shen clan was a family vastly stronger than the Bijade Sect, she didn't know that Shen Qingli had so many brothers and uncles who loved and protected her.

"On what grounds?"

Everything she painstakingly pursued, Shen Qingli always could obtain effortlessly.

Fortunately, her master wholeheartedly helped her, enabling her to grasp everything that originally belonged to Shen Qingli!

This time, she will absolutely not let Shen Qingli have a chance to take it back; she wants to solidify that she is the true Shen Qingli! And Shen Qingli, since childhood, has taken her phoenix bone, seized her father's love, turning her into such a poisonous woman.

The Su Chacha who had made up her mind cautiously called out, "Uncle?"

"Eh, it's me!" Shen Yuan said heartbrokenly, "You don't need to be so timid; you are our Shen family's sole eldest miss, from now on no one will be able to hurt or harm you."

"But my father..."

"His heart is blinded by pig fat, no need to worry about him!"

"Not bad, Old Seven has been muddleheaded since childhood! I didn't expect that after traveling out for so many years, he's still this muddleheaded."

Shen Kuo's brothers are all condemning him, which is not unjust; after all, being able to marry someone like Zhao Yue as a wife, what kind of clear-sighted smart person could that be?

Of course, Shen Yuan and the others actually didn't just listen to Su Chacha's one-sided account; during the time Su Chacha was unconscious, he also sent people to verify on the Xuanti Continent.

The result obtained was naturally no different from what Su Chacha said.

After all, Pei Jianshu is here.
