Chapter 1135: Determination for Immortal Ascension, the Dominator’s Partiality

Chu Xiaoqi was won over by Han Tuo's appearance; such a stature must belong to a very powerful Great Cultivator. He looked forward to Han Tuo's training, but in less than a day, he regretted it.

This wasn't training at all; it was purely a beating!

Behind the villa, Han Tuo independently opened a Barrier. The internal space was larger than the entire Mortal Realm. Although Chu Xiaoqi was amazed, he did not realize just how vast this Barrier was.

Chu Xiaoqi lay in the ruins, panting heavily, his clothes in tatters and covered in blood, looking incredibly miserable.

He looked up at the high-and-mighty Han Tuo, his eyes filled with despair.

"Uncle, can we take a break?"

"I am not your uncle. Right now, we are enemies. In a life-and-death battle, the enemy will not let you rest!"

"But my Spiritual Power is exhausted…"

"What I want to teach is that even if your Spiritual Power is exhausted, you must fight to the death!"

Han Tuo attacked Chu Xiaoqi again with terrifying power. Chu Xiaoqi felt that if he didn't dodge, he might actually die, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and evade.

A full seven days passed before Chu Xiaoqi finally emerged from the Barrier.

He dragged his battered body to find Han Jue. When Tang Wan saw him, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, but she didn't say much. After all, the one teaching Chu Xiaoqi was Han Jue's biological son, so he was trustworthy.

Chu Xiaoqi came before Han Jue, crying and complaining about his hardships.

This time, Han Jue did not soften his heart. No matter how Chu Xiaoqi pleaded, he did not agree to stop the training.

Chu Xiaoqi left helplessly.

Afterward, Han Tuo came to visit Han Jue with a respectful posture.

He didn't dare to act shamelessly like Chu Xiaoqi. Facing Han Jue, he still felt a sense of distance because his experiences were rich, and he knew exactly how powerful his father was.

Han Jue began to preach the Dao. There was no need for pleasantries between father and son; getting straight to the preaching was more practical.

He used the Power of Time to make this preaching independent of time. By the time Han Tuo finished listening, only a few days had passed in reality.

Han Tuo found Chu Xiaoqi again and, ignoring his resistance, picked him up and entered the Barrier.

Tang Wan was somewhat worried about Chu Xiaoqi and went to find Han Jue. Han Jue comforted her with a few words. Seeing that she couldn't change the situation, she could only give up.

This time, Chu Xiaoqi stayed in the Barrier for a very long time—forced to do so, of course.

One day, Xing Hongxuan returned.

She went to Han Jue's residence and threw herself into his arms, acting spoiled just like Chu Xiaoqi, talking about what she had seen and heard during this time.

Han Jue listened patiently.

Finally, Xing Hongxuan asked about Han Jue's plan for Chu Xiaoqi. Calling Han Tuo over was enough to show how much Han Jue valued Chu Xiaoqi.

Chu Xiaoqi was her only biological grandson, so she naturally cared.

Han Jue smiled and said, "He has the Aptitude to become a Primordial Chaos Demon God."

Xing Hongxuan was overjoyed and asked, "Shouldn't we tell Huanger about this?"

"No need. That boy is busy building the Grandmist. Besides, he might not even have this son in his heart."

"But if that's the case, this father and son in the future…"

"Huanger also needs correction,"

Han Jue spoke meaningfully; if he cultivated other descendants to surpass Han Huang, Han Huang would only be infuriated, but if it were a son he felt guilty toward, Han Huang would be a different story.

Xing Hongxuan laughed and said, "I see, you just dote on Xiaoqi; there aren't that many reasons."

"That's right, I just dote on him. As the Dominator of the Endless Era, if I want to dote on someone, do I need to worry about anything?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you are the most amazing. I plan to take Tang Wan away. Her Aptitude is too poor; she won't be able to keep up with Xiaoqi sooner or later."

"Mhm. When Xiaoqi comes out, let Wan'er say goodbye to him. It'll also serve to stimulate the boy and make him work harder."

"You really are something."

Xing Hongxuan also found it interesting and even began to look forward to Chu Xiaoqi's reaction.

That same day, she found Tang Wan. After demonstrating her abilities, Tang Wan was pleasantly surprised and immediately took her as her master.

When Xing Hongxuan proposed to take her away and that she wouldn't see Chu Xiaoqi for a long time, she immediately panicked and fell into hesitation.

Since her brother's death, Chu Xiaoqi was her only relative. Moreover, she had always admired Chu Xiaoqi, who protected her everywhere. How could she abandon him for an Opportunity?

"I think I'll pass. I can't leave him,"

Tang Wan sighed, her gaze becoming firm.

To give up longevity for love was undoubtedly a massive determination.

She could also tell that the immortal, Han Jue, only cared about Chu Xiaoqi; she was just an extra.

Xing Hongxuan smiled. "Immortal Cultivators can live for thousands or tens of thousands of years. As the gap in your cultivation grows wider, you will eventually be unable to keep up with him."

With a wave of her right hand, a memory flooded into Tang Wan's mind.

It was a Taoist Temple. An elderly Tang Wan lay on a bed, preparing to meet her end. Standing beside her was Chu Xiaoqi, still young, even more handsome and imposing.

A separation of life and death.

This memory was very short, without any words, but silence spoke louder than words. When Tang Wan woke up, she was deeply shaken, and a large amount of fine sweat broke out on her forehead.

After struggling for a long time, she finally agreed to follow Xing Hongxuan to Cultivate.

Half a year later.

Chu Xiaoqi finally emerged from the Barrier. This time, his entire being seemed transformed, like an unsheathed sword, sharp and revealing.

This time, he didn't go to Han Jue but looked for Tang Wan instead. However, in Tang Wan's room, he only found a Jade Slip. He injected Spiritual Power, and a phantom appeared—it was Tang Wan.

"Brother Xiaoqi, when you see this letter, I will have already left. I gained the favor of an immortal, and she is taking me to the Immortal Realm to Cultivate. Actually, I've always liked you, but you don't seem to like me enough."

"I didn't want to leave you, but I saw the future. Without an Opportunity, I won't be able to keep up with your footsteps. When I am near death, you will still be young. I don't want that; I want to walk side-by-side with you."

At this point, Tang Wan's eyes turned red.

Tang Wan continued, "I must Cultivate and I must catch up to you. But my only regret is not knowing if you like me. Grandpa said we have a marriage fate, but do we really?"

"Brother Xiaoqi, see you in the future. We will definitely meet again, as long as you don't forget me."

Tang Wan's phantom then dissipated.

Chu Xiaoqi stood before the table, remaining silent.

A full several days passed, and Chu Xiaoqi did not leave Tang Wan's room.

Han Tuo sat by the cliff, his thoughts drifting, also remembering the most important woman in his life. His old friend had passed away and had become a mere memory.

He could resurrect that person, but he felt that the one resurrected would only be the person he desired, not the true person.

Some people and some things are better left in memories.

Half a month later, Chu Xiaoqi finally came out. He still didn't go to find Han Jue or ask if the immortal who took Tang Wan away was related to his Grandpa. He went straight to Han Tuo to continue his cultivation.

The two entered the Barrier once again.

Han Jue walked out of the house and stood in the courtyard, enjoying the baptism of the sunlight with a smile on his face.

Having nothing to do, he stretched his limbs while checking his Emails.

Soon, he saw an Email worth noting.
