2219 Ke’er’s Innate Spiritual Roo

It seemed as though Weng Zheng could sense Pei Si Hai’s impatience. He shook his head before he acquiesced to Pei Si Hai’s request with a smile on his face. “Bring it on!”

Weng!

A loud and piercing saber cry rang in the air as Pei Si Hai moved and struck. His body moved in tandem with his saber like a ghost.

On the other hand, Weng Zheng had also moved, but he did not wield any weapon. It seemed as though he was going to fight Pei Si Hai bare-handed.

Bang!

Weng Zheng’s fists were like two cannonballs as he punched out. They were swift and powerful. The shockwave from his punch seemed to cause the air to tremble.

Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng!

The way Pei Si Hai swung his saber seemed simple but profound. Saber Qi swept out destructively from his saber. However, the way Weng Zheng moved his fists was even simpler than the way Pei Si Hai wielded his saber. Those who were not in the know might even think he was fighting like a street punk!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

One move.

Two moves.

Three moves.

During the ninth move, Weng Zheng’s fists landed on Pei Si Hai’s blade and knocked it out of Pei Si Hai’s hands.

When Pei Si Hai’s saber was knocked out of his hand, his hands were a mangled and bloodied ruin. It looked extremely terrifying!

However, Pei Si Hai did not attend to his hands further after he staunched the bleeding. He stood still with a blank expression on his face as he muttered to himself, “Nine moves…”

It might seem like Pei Si Hai was in a daze, but in his mind, he was replaying his fight with Weng Zheng and analyzing it.

Weng Zheng did not strike again after he knocked the saber out of Pei Si Hai’s hand. Upon seeing Pei Si Hai deep in thought, he did not bother him. Instead, he returned to the front of the cottage and resumed sitting in a cross-legged position. He closed his eyes as though Pei Si Hai was not there.

About an hour later, Pei Si Hai moved, finally returning to his senses. He retrieved the saber that was knocked out of his hand before he looked at Weng Zheng who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air. He said in a deep voice, “In half a month, I’ll definitely be able to last for ten moves!”

“I’ll be waiting,” Weng Zheng responded lazily. He did not even open his eyes.

After Pei Si Hai departed, Weng Zheng opened his eyes. With a bitter smile on his face, he muttered under his breath, “That lad is improving faster and faster… I’m afraid it’ll be almost impossible to defeat him with ten moves in the future.” After that, he shut his eyes and continued sitting cross-legged in the air.

The snow that kept falling in the northern region painted the place white.

In the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Land. In the Human-Devil Saint City.

Although Duan Ling Tian had caused a scene at the city gates, it was not significant enough to raise a commotion in the Human-Devil Saint City.

When Duan Ling Tian entered the Human-Devil Saint City, he was stunned by its size. The city was undoubtedly bigger than Sin City. Moreover, the city planning and its liveliness had even surpassed Sin City!

There were inns, restaurants, casinos, and brothels in the Human-Devil Saint City. It seemed no different from a human city.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian found an inn for his daughter and wife to stay in. He booked two spacious rooms that shared a courtyard. Duan Ling Tian and his family stayed in one room while the other room was occupied by Ke’er twin sister, Gan Ru Yan.

After they settled in, Duan Ling Tian finally woke his daughter, Duan Si Ling, who was asleep in his arms up.

The girl was about nine years old. She looked adorable. Although she was young, one could see she was beautiful. It was clear that she would grow up to become a beauty in the future.

“Mmm…” When the little girl opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian should have been a stranger to her. However, when she saw Duan Ling Tian, she blinked before she said without any signs of unfamiliarity, “Daddy, are you finally free? Mummy misses you a lot, and Si Ling misses you as well.”

Was the little girl naturally not shy or was it due to their blood relations that she was not afraid of Duan Ling Tian?

Duan Ling Tian had been prepared for the girl to push him away. After all, this was their first meeting. Who knew his daughter would recognize him immediately and even said that her mother had missed him?

Duan Ling Tian was overwhelmed by emotions. He even felt the corners of his eyes becoming wet.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before he asked excitedly, “Si Ling, how did you recognize daddy?” The way he looked at Duan Si Ling was so gentle that it could even melt the coldest of heart.

“Daddy is dumb!” Duan Si Ling said cheekily before she turned to Ke’er who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian and said, “Mummy, daddy is dumb. He doesn’t know that Si Ling saw him every day.

Duan Ling Tian was baffled when he heard Duan Si Ling’s words. He instinctively turned to look at Ke’er.

Duan Si Ling saw her everyday? What was that about?

Ke’er face turned red when she heard Duan Si Ling’s words. She turned to her daughter and said, “Si Ling, tell daddy how you saw him every day.”

“Okay,” Duan Si Ling answered. Then, she turned to Duan Ling Tian and said with a pout, “Daddy is a dummy. Don’t you know Si Ling looks at your portrait every day? Si Ling can also draw daddy now even though it’s not as good as mummy’s drawing…”

Looked at his portrait everyday!

Duan Ling Tian finally understood what happened. His eyes were gentle and filled with affection when he looked at Ke’er.

“Then… Are you happy now that you see me in person?” Duan Ling Tian asked Duan Si Ling with a smile.

“Happy!” Duan Si Ling nodded like a chick pecking on rice grains as she replied to Duan Ling Tian without hesitating, “Since daddy has returned, you can play with mummy and me. Mummy says you’re a great hero and you’re very strong. With you here, we won’t have to stay in a cold house anymore.”

You’re right. With daddy here, Si Ling doesn’t have to stay in a cold house anymore.” Upon hearing his daughter’s words, Duan Ling Tian hugged her tightly. Tears of regret streamed down his face. Naturally, he knew what his daughter meant by a cold house. She was referring to the prison in Fire Worship Sect. At this moment, he vowed to himself that he would make it up to Ke’er and their daughter.

Since Duan Si Ling was a little girl, after a while, she began to look around curiously. “Auntie? Where’s auntie?” It was obvious she was looking for Ke’er’s sister, Gan Ru Yan.

They sent Duan Si Ling over to Gan Ru Yan’s room. After returning, Duan Ling Tian hugged Ke’er tightly and expressed his inner thoughts. “Ke’er, thank you for raising our daughter so well…”

“Brother Tian, she’s our daughter… It’s only natural for me to do this…” Ke’er said softly as she rested in Duan Ling Tian’s arms. Her face was slightly red as she continued to say tenderly, “Ke’er feels extremely happy now. I wish this moment could last forever.”

“Me, too.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He felt the same way as well. After a while, they began to kiss passionately…

After a bout of passionate love-making, Ke’er was fast asleep.

Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness into Ke’er’s soul. He wanted to investigate the seal that was placed on her Innate Spiritual Root. He had heard that Ke’er had a violet Innate Spiritual Root and that her innate talent was suppressed due to the seal.

“Hm?” However, when Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness was in Ke’er soul, he discovered there was no seal. “She really has a violet Innate Spiritual Root! Moreover, she has a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root!”

Although Duan Ling Tian had heard about Ke’er possessing a violet Innate Spiritual Root, he was still excited when he confirmed it for himself. Apart from that, he discovered Ke’er’s Innate Spiritual Root was a violet so dark that it was almost black. It was probably the highest grade for an Innate Spiritual Root. After a few moments, he checked her cultivation base. He discovered that Ke’er’s cultivation had reached the Divine Saint Stage. Although it was still a few stages away from the Saint Celestial Stage, it was an improvement compared to her cultivation base in the past.

I wonder when was the seal on Ke’er removed?’ Duan Ling Tian was curious about this. However, he did not wake Ke’er up to ask her about it. ‘I’ll ask her when she wakes up.’

Duan Ling Tian was truly happy for Ke’er now that he found out the seal on Ke’er had been removed.

Currently, without the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, I can no longer depend on the accelerated time flow in the pagoda. This means my cultivation speed will be ten times slower compared to before!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as a bitter smile appeared on his face. ‘In order to increase my cultivation speed, I must improve my Innate Spiritual Root…” He sighed.
