Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Shi Leyong turned into a delicate and handsome youth.

During these ten years, his cultivation grew very quickly.

From a Qi cultivating stage eight, he had already advanced to the middle stage of the aurous core stage. He was the youngest person to reach this stage in 100,000 years. He was only 13!

Many people wouldn’t be able to cross the great circle of perfection and cultivate to the aurous core stage even after hundreds of years.

However, this young man had done it easily.

Shi Letong had stumbled across a bottleneck. He needed something to break through to the next stage of cultivation. Therefore, he was tasked to leave the mountain to go on trials.

This time, everyone in the Heavenly Gate sect was clearly much more at ease.

There were not many people in the entire nine heavens continent who were at the intermediate stage of the aurous core stage.

In addition, Shi Letong was smart and had a lot of life-saving magic tools and magic treasures.

“Child, why don’t you leave the mountain and explore the world?” The elders and the sect master instructed, “Remember, put your own safety above all else!”

“Yes, elders and Master!” Xiao Tong answered respectfully.

When Xiao Tong was about to leave, the group of nephew disciples said reluctantly, “Little uncle-master, take care!”

“Little uncle-master, take care! If you meet someone you can’t win, run!”

“How is it that our little uncle-master won’t win? Little uncle-master is now in the intermediate stage of aurous core stage. Who can beat him? But little uncle-master, it’s true that your safety is first priority!”

“Yes, yes…!”

Xiao Tong, “…”

Everyone told him to put his life first as if he was a rookie.

In reality, he was very confident. Other than those nascent soul stage grandmasters, no one in the Nine Heavens Continent was his match.

Although he was at the middle stage of the aurous core stage, he was confident he wouldn’t lose to people at the peak of the aurous core stage. Even the grandmaster was amazed by his ability. Therefore, they were at ease when Shi Letong went out alone to train. In fact, they were more worried about people who would provoke Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong waved his hand to these nephew disciples and the elders who came to send him reluctantly and said, “Everyone, don’t worry about me. I will definitely come back safely. Wait for me. Perhaps, I’ll bring a surprise for all of you!”

“Yes. Little uncle-master, we’ll wait for you!”

“This is goodbye! If you continue to walk me down, you might as well leave the mountain with me! Go back now!”

Xiao Tong summoned his natal sword. The blade of the sword enlarged. He leaped up and said to the people below, “I’ll be back!”

Many people’s eyes reddened when Xiao Tong flew away.

Over the years, although Shi Letong had gone out intermittently, it was always with the accompaniment of his nephew disciples or disciple brothers. At the same time, he had someone protecting him in secret.

Everyone was very relieved.

But this time, Xiao Tong was going out alone.

They did not know when he would come back.

Without Xiao Tong, their days would become very boring.

They wouldn’t be able to see the scene of Xiao Tong teasing their master and the elders while jumping up and down. They wouldn’t be able to hear Xiao Tong’s cheerful laughter and the curses of their master and elders.

Xiao Tong had just left, and they missed him already.

The Elders’ eyes reddened as they said worriedly, “The child has never been out alone before. I wonder if he knows how to take care of himself.”

“What if he is bullied and has no one to protect him?”

“He is still a child. Oh, he is a handsome and cute boy. What if he is targeted by a bad person?”

“No, no, what if he gets targeted by some girl and is kidnapped?”

The disciples, “…”

This was the first time they saw their elders being so timid. They were all worried like mothers.

…

Shi Letong, who was free for the first time, was about to go crazy with joy. He had no idea so many people were worried about him.

“It’s my first time out. It’s great that no one is watching!” Standing on the sword, he stretched his waist and laughed happily in a relaxed manner. “I’ll definitely have a good time this time!”

Suddenly, Shi Letong heard the sounds of fighting. He was conflicted. “What should I do? Eh. I’ll go and take a look first!”

He thought about how he had charged forward and tried to save someone from the Shan Family all alone when he was three. He was very childish. If it had not been his grandfather who stopped him, he would have alerted the people in the Shan Family. He wouldn’t save anyone and would end up being captured by the Shan Family.

Back then, his goal was to investigate the situation of his biological father. However, after listening to the maids and combining the information he had obtained over the years, he was very sure that his father had been looking for them.

When he thought of this, Xiao Tong’s heart felt a little sour.

In his previous life, he only had a mother and no father. Xiao Tong was finally old enough to understand that those things happened in his previous life.

In his previous life, he was always mocked by the other village children for being a bastard. However, he did not hate them because he knew that his grandparents and everyone in the Xiao family loved him, except for his mother.

Everyone told him that it was not that his mother did not love him, but because she had been hurt, she would think of some bad things when she saw him, so she was not very willing to see him.

However, until now, he had no idea what he had done wrong to make his mother hate him so much and dislike him so much?

Even when he was about to die, he couldn’t even get to see her and get a hug from her.

In this life, his mother passed away as soon as he was born.

He remembered how hard this mother had tried to give birth to him.

After giving birth to Xiao Tong, his mother knew that she was about to die, she was reluctant to part with his new son. However, she still arranged the best things for Xiao Tong before she passed.

In this life, he received his mother’s love. However, it was so short-lived!

He lost his mother when he was born and he couldn’t acknowledge his father because of his sect.

Shi Letong couldn’t help but wonder why was his family relationship so weak.

Why couldn’t he receive the complete love of his parents?

This was his heartache that no one knew.

Ever since he came to this xianxia world, he knew that this heartache might cause him to have inner demons. Cultivators who had inner demons could not ascend at all. He had to resolve it!

However, he had no idea how. He could only take it slowly.

The lifespan of a cultivator was much longer than his lifespan in his previous life.

If nothing unexpected happened, he could live for at least three to four hundred years. For example, cultivators in the aurous core stage could live for two thousand years, while those in the nascent soul stage could live for more than five thousand years.

He had reached the aurous core stage at the age of 13, so there was still a long time to go. He would definitely think of a way to solve this problem.

Shi Letong descended from the sky. He saw stunned when he saw one of the people caught in the fight.

He never thought that he would meet him as soon as he came out of the mountain.

A masked man in black glanced at the white-clothed youth who had suddenly descended. His sharp gaze shot over and he shouted, “Who is it?”

The youth smiled and said, “I’m just passing by. Continue!”

Hearing his words, the black-clothed man was furious. He coldly shouted, “You’re courting death!” After saying that, he pushed aside his opponent and charged towards Xiao Tong with his sword in hand.

On the other side, a man dressed in gray-white clothes immediately shouted, “Be careful!”

These people had no idea that the young man was actually a big gray wolf. Therefore, tragedy struck the man in black.

Xiao Tong took out a spirit fruit from his space and began to eat it. He was very relaxed. After he was done eating, he threw the core at the black-clothed man who was charging toward him.

Bang!

Bang!

The black-clothed man directly fell to the ground.

None of them expected that a young man would knock a cultivator to the ground with a small fruit core. Who was white-clothed young man? And what was his cultivation level?

They could not tell.

The black-clothed man, who had been knocked to the ground, was furious.

After he got up, he did not use his sword anymore. Instead, he used a spell.

“Go to hell!” The black-clothed man shouted crazily.
