Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Sighing heavily himself, he spoke.

”Hey, your words are quite stiff.” Yuchi calmly poured another glass of wine for his companion, ”I’m being honest here, I really want to help you be with her, but what your father said is true too. I can’t decide your life for you, that’s your own matter. If you can’t sort it out yourself, how could I meddle in your love life?”

After Yuchi finished speaking, he took a sip to show respect.

”Hmm... I understand. Knowing that you think this way already makes me happy. I can’t expect everyone in the world to help me, right?”

Shangguan Congwen laughed self-deprecatingly, letting out a heavy sigh.

Then his eyes gradually shone with a certain brilliance: ”To be honest, I’m already in my forties. After more than forty years of cultivation, my cultivation level has gradually increased from the initial Mortal Realm to the later Qi Cultivation Realm. With each level I ascended, I felt that I was getting closer and closer to my dream. I could truly feel the joy of increasing my cultivation level, but this joy didn’t last long.”

”By the time I reached the seventh or eighth layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm, I started to feel lost. And when I finally reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, there was an inner void. I completely don’t know why I’m cultivating. I’m not the type destined to rule over others; I’m just cultivating step by step according to my father’s wishes. I don’t even know what I’m cultivating for.”

”Hahaha.”

He let out a few dry laughs, his eyes becoming deep and enchanting. Looking at the wine glass in front of him, his face was full of smiles: ”Until one day, when I suddenly met her, I realized that my life could indeed have another kind of brilliance. Ah... she brought so much color to my life... truly a flawless woman whom I’d dearly love to hold tightly in my arms.”

”Brother Yuchi, can you imagine the feeling of suddenly finding a towering tree in a sea of flowers? Hey, perhaps my description isn’t accurate, but... but that feeling is like... like suddenly discovering a scroll you’ve never seen beside you when you’re on the toilet! Yes... that’s the feeling when a person in loneliness suddenly finds the world lighting up!”

”Yes! That world full of light and warmth is like opening a new door! Ah... but then everything suddenly changed, and my father disagreed. Besides, I feel that all my cultivation was nurtured by my father gradually. Without him, I’d be nothing, not even knowing what to do, stuck between two people, unable to move.”

”A step forward hurts, a step back hurts even more, it’s heart-wrenching!”

”On one side is family, on the other is love. The feeling of both falling on my heart is like my heart being torn apart. What a cruel world that forces you to choose between two beautiful things; only children decide, but I want them all.”

Saying bitterly, sighing again and again.

Yuchi naturally understood Shangguan Congwen’s thoughts, having experienced this himself, so he smiled and said proactively: ”Actually, when I first learned about cultivators, I thought they were like those in stories—without desires or morals, cultivating just for the sake of it, becoming strong to use their fists to kill.”

”But as I gradually met more cultivators, I found them different. I knew a Foundation Establishment cultivator who loved to eat; she acted like a starving ghost reborn, it was exaggerated. She was either eating all the time or on her way to eat.”

”I also knew a more powerful cultivator, obsessed with the pursuit of the Tao, seeming a bit dazed, and somewhat stubborn.”

”And then there are some cultivators engaged in killing and looting.”

”Regardless, I think the relationship between cultivators and mortals isn’t two different paths; it’s just mortals reaching a crossroad and making different choices. Essentially, they are still mortals. Naturally, many things related to mortals will appear.”

”Grudges, passions, some gold and power, so much busyness, in the end, isn’t different from what mortals pursue.”

”And most mortals know their place and what they want, but it’s different for cultivators. Often influenced by external factors, cultivators try to avoid getting involved with mortals, but they’re just one of the choices mortals could make. If they can’t even acknowledge their own roots, how can their cultivation yield any result?”
