Chapter 40 - the Fortunes of a Cultivation Failure Template?



Back at home, Su Ziyuan lay on her bed in a daze, imagining herself being demoted to the side branch and sent to a remote area. The thought of her parents’ memorial tablets never entering the ancestral shrine left her feeling suffocated.

But this is Elder Changsheng’s rule! Su Ziyuan thought and bit her lip lightly. Despite feeling aggrieved, she didn’t think anything was wrong because this was a rule established by Su Changsheng.

Su Changsheng, the Elder of Eternal Life, was the greatest existence in the Su family and the person she had always admired. In her eyes, the decisions made by Su Changsheng could never be wrong. She could only blame herself for being incapable and wasting the family’s resources.

I’ve disappointed Elder Changsheng’s expectations. Su Ziyuan bit her lip, feeling resentful in her heart. Although Elder Changsheng didn’t like useless clan members, she turned out to be just that.

“No, I can’t wallow in self-pity. I can take on tasks and apply to mine spiritual ores or hunt fierce beasts.” Su Ziyuan suddenly got up, speaking with a resolute tone. She would never give up.

By diligently completing family tasks, her rating would not continue to drop. It might even rise again. Although it wouldn’t recover her resources, it could at least maintain her position in the main branch.

“Alright, let’s use the spiritual stones to stabilize my cultivation, and then I’ll go and take on tasks.” Su Ziyuan set a firm goal in her heart. She took the spiritual stones and began cultivating, absorbing their power.

After an hour, “Finally stabilized!”

Su Ziyuan opened her eyes, feeling the stable cultivation level within her body. She felt distressed because five spiritual stones barely offset the consumption. There was still one more week left.

“Take it one step at a time.” Su Ziyuan sighed, then got up and prepared to go to the task hall to take on assignments.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t just take on tasks. That’s only addressing the symptoms, not the root cause!” Just as Su Ziyuan was about to act, an indifferent voice sounded, startling her. She quickly reacted and swiftly moved to the other side.

Boom!

The power of the Qi Sea realm erupted, causing turbulent fluctuations within the small palace. It was like a cannonball flying through the air.

“You have good alertness!”

Amid that indifferent voice, a faint smile emerged. Immediately, a surge of aura appeared, instantly suppressing Su Ziyuan, leaving her blushing and full of fear.

Heavens… Heavenly Realm?

Only in the Heavenly Realm could one manipulate the power of heaven and earth with a single thought and suppress their opponents.

But wasn’t this the territory of the Su family? How could there be an enemy in the Heavenly Realm?

Could it be that someone from the Su family wants to harm her?

“Ah!”

Soon after, a figure appeared. When Su Ziyuan saw that figure, her eyes widened, and her delicate and beautiful face filled with astonishment.

Unable to help herself, she exclaimed in surprise, “Senior Ancestor Brother!”

Her face was filled with shock and delight. But soon, she seemed to realize something, and her face turned red, filled with uneasiness and anxiety.

Senior Ancestor Brother?

What kind of address was that?

Why didn’t he remember meeting her before?

Su Changsheng was shocked, looking at Su Ziyuan with a slightly strange gaze.

“I… I’m sorry… Sen… Senior…”

Seeing Su Changsheng’s somewhat peculiar gaze, Su Ziyuan’s face turned red, and she tried to explain but became stuttered due to nervousness.

“It’s alright, just relax!” Su Changsheng spoke, his tone calm and carrying a mysterious power, gradually calming down the initially nervous Su Ziyuan.

“I’m sorry, Senior Changsheng. I was too bold. I wasn’t like this before. I just admire you too much!” As Su Ziyuan recovered and sighed with relief, she waved her hands repeatedly, her face filled with panic.

Watching Su Ziyuan’s flustered explanation, Su Changsheng gradually understood. So, she called him Senior Ancestor Brother not because she knew him but because he was too young, resembling the younger generation of cultivators.

And Su Ziyuan’s parents died in battle three years ago, leaving her without family. After she accidentally saw a portrait of Su Changsheng, she regarded him as a spiritual solace.

The battle with the Purple Mountain Sage before had allowed Su Ziyuan to witness everything, deepening her admiration and fanaticism towards Su Changsheng. She often muttered his name as “brother” in her dreams, and over time, it became “Senior Ancestor Brother.”

Originally, it was just muttering in her dreams, but she blurted it out due to her shock at seeing Su Changsheng.

“…”

Su Changsheng fell silent.

It had to be said that fate was truly extraordinary. The destined daughter of this family unexpectedly had an accidental connection with him even though it was one-sided.

Thinking about it, if things had gone as before, his death in the battle at the Gu family might have been the most significant factor that stimulated Su Ziyuan.

“Is this considered idol worship? I never thought that after coming to this fantasy world, I would still experience the peculiar feeling of being chased after by someone like a star!”

Su Changsheng’s mood was somewhat complex. But it was also a good thing. He had hesitated before, but now he realized there was no need to hesitate anymore. He could just take this little fellow under his wing after raising her for a while.

“Senior Ancestor, you won’t blame me, will you?” Su Ziyuan anxiously spoke up as Su Changsheng seemed lost in thought.

“Don’t worry, I don’t mind,” Su Changsheng glanced at her and smiled, comforting her with her adorable and uneasy appearance.

“Thanks, Senior Ancestor!” Su Ziyuan’s face lit up, feeling overjoyed. She could have a conversation with Senior Changsheng. If this got out, it would stir the whole family. However, as she thought about her duties, her face fell instantly, feeling a bit uncertain. “Senior… Senior Ancestor, I’m a bit short on time. I have to go handle a task!”

Even though she wanted to spend more time with the Senior Ancestor, ideally being around every day, the simple chores within the family were limited. If she waited too long, other clan members would grab them, and she didn’t want to miss even the simplest assignments.

“I already told you, I advise against taking on tasks. Your training level is too low, and you can’t even meet the basic requirement,” Su Changsheng said with a grin.

He had established standards for the family, and each descendant had to regularly complete assignments. However, that didn’t apply to those in the First Layer of the Qi Sea. They needed at least the Fifth Layer of Qi Sea, where a vortex formed, constantly generating mana. Only then could they handle tasks. That was the minimum benchmark. Su Ziyuan didn’t meet those criteria.

“But if I don’t handle tasks, I’ll be demoted to a side disciple in three days!” Su Ziyuan exclaimed anxiously, her eyes turning red.

“I understand. Therefore I can help you address the regression in your training. Once you make a breakthrough, you won’t get demoted to a side disciple!” Su Changsheng said gently.

Training breakthrough?

Su Ziyuan was shocked. Could the Senior Ancestor truly assist her with this issue? But wasn’t she considered a training failure?

She had sought guidance from influential clan members about her training issue. Even the Law Phase Realm experts couldn’t find any solutions, only recognizing her good potential. Eventually, the clan’s experts speculated that there might be an issue with her Qi Sea dantian, preventing her from storing mana. As a result, some unpleasant clan members mocked her as a failure on multiple occasions.

“That’s not the case. Your potential is remarkable!” Su Changsheng shook his head, his words carrying deep meaning.

“Huh?”

Su Ziyuan widened her eyes, a look of astonishment on her face.

Remarkable potential?
