This Female Celebrity Comes from the Cultivation World

Chapter 146

The two were ushered into the grand hall.

There were quite a few people queuing inside, and others at the other end of the exit, reluctant to leave and causing a commotion.

Unlike outside, there were many guards here, so many that the young man could not ignore them, with every officer carrying a gun.

Standing in front of the white corridor, Shi Hua suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The sun had emerged from the heavy clouds at some point, its golden rays pouring through the glass windows and into the room, shining on the young man's feet.

The young man turned to look at Shi Hua standing behind him and said, "Aren't you going to keep walking?"

Shi Hua said gently, "This path, you must walk alone."

"What about you?" the young man asked.

"I must go elsewhere."

The young man looked puzzled, "Then why did you bring me here? Just to leave me here?"

"The test results will be out soon. You can tell them about the burdens in your heart. After dealing with these matters, one day we will meet again," Shi Hua said firmly.

Chen Zihang did not quite believe what Shi Hua said.

What's the use of telling them? Did he find him a psychologist?

This young, handsome man came all this way to find him, only to bring him here and toy with him? Or was this some new trick from those people?

Chen Zihang thought to himself cynically, yet he could not help but hold out some new hope.

People are pathetic creatures - after falling into the abyss time and again, they cannot resist hoping that someone will save them, someone will pull them up.

The young man walked on in silence, treading on every inch of sunlight on the carpet beneath his feet.

They walked gently farther and farther.

Yet what no one knew was that specks of golden light were streaming in from all around, pouring into Shi Hua's body.

The state he had been trapped in for so long was loosening.

Shi Hua glanced out the window at the radiant sun. If this were the realm of cultivation, a tribulation would have formed here, ready to strike him down.

Just as Shi Hua had stepped out of the plaza, a young staff member hurried over, bowing respectfully to him. "Chen Zihang's spiritual root has been tested. Thank you for all your contributions to humanity."

Shi Hua nodded slightly and continued on his way.

In the world unseen by mortal eyes, a strange phenomenon was unfolding here. Like golden ink diffusing in water, the dense golden light scattered into the mortal realm, tiny droplets merging into Shi Hua's body. Most of it merged into this land, while a small portion flew into Chen Zihang's body.

This was not merit or spiritual energy, but the Heavenly Way's reciprocation.

The Shi family's cultivation method was not simply about altering a person's fate.

Rather, by deducing the rules of the Heavenly Way, they found the critical node and the person standing at that node. By helping that person move forward, they could change the destinies of many others.

Shi Hua had cast a divination for Chen Zihang. If he could persevere in cultivation without wavering, he would become a sword for this mortal realm, cleaving the darkness oppressing those who suffered, promoting human prosperity and peace in this world.

The meager golden light returned by the Heavenly Way showed that Shi Hua had not miscalculated.

Of course, those who could alter fate were not just cultivators, but also many ordinary people whose existence made this world better.

Before coming here, Shi Hua had encountered two such individuals, though the reciprocation they received was less than Chen Zihang's.

Still, any amount was good.

The ancient ancestors of the Shi family had ascended in this way. As the ancestors' cultivation progressed with hardly any tribulations, their method attracted much coveting.

However, there were not many people in need of fate alteration, limiting the method's usefulness in many places.

Moreover, its contents were too abstruse and difficult to understand. After the Shi family was wiped out, it was only here that Shi Hua truly witnessed the profundity of this method.

Only now did Shi Hua understand why his grand-uncle had chosen him among so many children in the family, giving him the sole life-preserving treasure and sending him elsewhere, even passing down the family's secret arts to him and instructing him to cultivate diligently.

His grand-uncle must have seen something, known the future of the family.

Recalling these past events, Shi Hua was deep in thought.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Song Jixing learned two pieces of news.

The first was that her master had sent someone with a spiritual root to the testing point. Those people still had some matters to handle, so they would come after the New Year.

The higher-ups wondered if Shi Hua bringing someone meant he wanted to take a disciple since they knew cultivators did that in their realm.

If they could take disciples, the higher-ups seemed to be quite pleased.

Song Jixing immediately dismissed this notion. Her master would never take a disciple, let alone an ordinary person whose spiritual energy had not even manifested - that was a consensus in the cultivation world.

No matter how powerful the tested spiritual root, the cultivation speed would still vary.

Unless it was a close blood relative or someone with a deep connection to a great cultivator, one generally would not take a disciple before the disciple reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

The second piece of news concerned Sun Qiaoshan and her dog.

After a thorough investigation, it was found that Sun Qiaoshan was unaware of the specific changes in her dog Qiuqiu. She only knew that the dog had become smarter.

Moreover, she had not induced the dog to attack anyone.

This proved Sun Qiaoshan's innocence, but Qiuqiu had actively attacked and even killed an adult human, which could not be ignored.

Considering that Qiuqiu was only a few months old with the intelligence of a young child, and not human, relevant laws did not apply well to it.

A muzzle was put on Qiuqiu, and someone would provide guidance and training, perhaps even bringing it here in hopes that it could one day contribute its spiritual power to this land as a spiritual beast.

When Shen Feixian heard this, he was playing with a soccer ball given to him by Wang Lun.

Wang Lun had participated in a soccer match before the New Year and played quite well.

When he came to pay his New Year's greetings, he brought the ball as a gift.

Based on the news, Wang Lun also knew quite a bit, as there were so many uniformed people at the steel factory, having been there long before.

The young man felt excited, disappointed, and even regretted not being able to cultivate. But overall, he was still quite happy.

He did not necessarily have to become a cultivator, but just being friends with the cultivation realm was enough for him to boast about for a lifetime.

The relevant authorities had approached his family, asking if he wanted to train for the Special Operations Division. The training could start when he went to university, allowing him to earn a salary during his studies and receive an official position right after graduation.

Wang Lun agreed immediately.

He was not thinking about how good the benefits were, but rather that he could continue to see his teachers and work with them in the same place, which would surely have a great atmosphere.

Wang Lun told Shen Feixian about these things, and Shen Feixian smiled without saying much. The thoughts of youth were indeed simple!

After finishing their soccer training, Wang Lun and the others would likely not return here.

Work related to cultivators had given them a chance to reunite.

Unfortunately, Sun Qiaoshan's character was not resilient enough. Otherwise, as Qiuqiu's owner, she had the opportunity to stay with Qiuqiu forever.

Such was the individual's karmic affinity.
