Leaving the Mountain Range

After discovering the powers of her eyes, Su Mingli, over the next two years, read all the books in the library, and already knew all the main matters of the family. Absolutely everything her eyes saw was deeply engraved in her mind, and she would never forget.

Her cultivation increased faster and faster, and her eyes naturally absorbed Qi without the need for any technique.

While seeing the possible futures of everyone in the family, her control over her power increased with each passing day, and her understanding of her affinity grew absurdly. As her control over her eyes and affinity increased, her eyes absorbed Qi even more rapidly.

And soon after her third birthday, her cultivation broke through to the realm of innate manifestation. At that moment, the greatest change in Su Mingli's life occurred. As soon as her realm broke through, an explosion occurred in both her eyes as a deep violet light irradiated, enveloping the entire Su family domain in a luminous violet halo.

An abyssal amount of Qi was absorbed by this light, which was then completely sent to her eyes.

Her eyes slowly transformed, while Su Mingli felt excruciating pain. She wanted to scream, but she couldn't even do that. The transformation continued for seven days.

After seven days, Su Mingli finally woke up and opened her new eyes.

But what she saw was something utterly unbelievable.

In her vision, there were thousands and thousands of threads everywhere. An incredible headache afflicted her mind as she looked at all those threads, but she understood exactly what each thread represented.

As soon as the light ended, her family entered the room, but as soon as they looked into her eyes, they felt a suffocating sensation as if they were unworthy of looking into her eyes, so everyone averted their gaze. Su Jin was among these people; this was the first impression he had of her.

From that day on, Su Mingli seemed to have become another person. With her new eyes, she helped the family grow rapidly, as if she knew exactly what would happen. Her eyes now developed the ability to discern the future that connected people, being able to see future events, thus making crucial decisions for the family and her still unknown goals.

After understanding more about her eyes, she could predict future events with remarkable accuracy and understand the best actions and choices for herself and the family. For this reason, the already extremely powerful Su family completely transformed in fifteen years.

…

..

In the room of Su Mingli's, she and Su Jin continued to sit in silence.

Su Jin drank the tea, waiting for his sister to say something.

In Su Mingli's mind, she couldn't understand why she couldn't see anything about Ling Xue. This had never happened since her eyes transformed; before that, everything always happened according to her plans.

But ever since the blizzard appeared suddenly, and Ling Xue emerged, Su Mingli found herself in a new situation. She couldn't predict the major changes in the world and suddenly felt a terrifying thing emerging on the southern continent, but despite this, she couldn't see anything about the being who made the change happen; it was as if he didn't exist.

While thinking about this, she suddenly felt a sensation she knew very well. She suddenly looked in the direction of the balcony deeply, her eyes beneath the blindfold shining with a deep violet light.

Su Jin then saw that a symbol suddenly appeared on Su Mingli's blindfold; the blindfold couldn't hide the power of her eyes. As soon as he looked at it, he felt as if he were in front of an overwhelming presence. He didn't know what the symbol meant, but he couldn't look at it for more than a second and averted his gaze to the table.

Su Mingli had suddenly felt something big on the southern continent. She looked in the direction of the southern continent, and it was as if everything was within reach of her eyes—well, everything but one thing.

Then, after a second, her eyes returned to normal, while the symbol that appeared on the blindfold quickly disappeared.

She looked at Su Jin and said, "Something big will happen soon."

"Return to the southern continent immediately; a battle between great saints that will shake a region will happen soon. I feel the southern sacred land moving strangely, but I can't see exactly what it will lead to. This is definitely connected to him," she said, looking at the poster.

Su Mingli gave numerous orders to Su Jin, who didn't even have time to say anything. As soon as she finished giving the orders, Su Mingli disappeared from the room without him even noticing.

'Tsk, just when I thought I'd have a little break,' Su Jin thought, but quickly got up, ready to leave. But before leaving the room, he suddenly saw something in one of Su Mingli's cabinets.

He pretended not to see it, left the room, and departed from Su Castle to return to the continent.

***********

In the beast range, Ling Xue and Li Yuemei were almost out of the storm region.

"I think if we continue for one more day, we'll be out of here," Li Yuemei said. They had walked for two days. During these two days, the only thing they saw were countless lightning strikes near them.

Now they were no longer close to the storm, as they had descended a large part of the mountain. Therefore, Li Yuemei was more relaxed. She felt that if any of those lightning strikes hit her, she would have no chance of surviving. But now that they were farther away, the chance of one of them striking them was much lower.

"Hm, the book said that this place was dangerous, but, wasn't that too simple? Although the lightning is strong, if the saints are constantly protecting themselves, I don't see a way for them to get hurt by this," Ling Xue said, sharing his thoughts about the place.

"Huh? That's only possible for you. Normal saints need to use their Qi to protect themselves constantly. To cross the wind trail, it's necessary to have the Qi barrier activated for days, or to use a strong defense technique. They have to use a large amount of Qi without being able to recover."

"Besides, as soon as they enter the storm gate, they need to keep the Qi barrier active for countless days. It's impossible to know how long that spatial rift lasts—sometimes a few days, sometimes up to weeks. The pressure in the rift is terrifying. We were fine, but other people have to rely on luck to be sent to the other side quickly, and when they arrive, they will still be right below the storm and will need even more Qi to protect themselves. That's why almost no one uses this path."

"Although the saints have a gigantic amount of Qi, once they run out, they are not very strong compared to these terrifying energies," Li Yuemei replied.

"Ah, that makes sense," Ling Xue said after realizing. He didn't use Qi, but the power of his physique. He still didn't understand why he could use that power, but he thought it was a good thing and would find out one day.

Then another day passed, but on that day they finally ran into a bit of danger.

A lightning bolt struck right on the ice barrier they were on. Since Ling Xue had created two barriers around them in addition to the one they were in, the lightning instantly broke the first and second but stopped at the last. Cracking a large part while leaving a black scorched trail all around the ground.

Li Yuemei was greatly startled and involuntarily hugged Ling Xue as soon as the lightning struck the barrier. Although she trusted the protection of his barrier, she still didn't feel completely safe and hugged him tightly.

Ling Xue found her reaction funny and interesting and didn't mind. He then reinforced the pure ice barrier again. Then the rest of their trip was peaceful; no beasts appeared, nor did other lightning strikes fall.

Then, after they stepped on another stone wall that seemed like a dead end, they instantly appeared in a seemingly simple green forest.

"Finally, it's over," Li Yuemei said, looking back, and there were the immense mountains with the constant storm.

"Yes, let's go. Now we can go straight to the central continent," Ling Xue said with a serious expression while holding Li Yuemei in his arms and started flying quickly.

"HEY, I can fly now!" Li Yuemei struggled in his arms for a moment.

"You're slow-flying, and this way is easier for me," Ling Xue replied without caring much for Li Yuemei, who seemed embarrassed.

"Tsk, this bastard is just taking advantage of me again," she thought in her mind, but she stopped struggling and let him carry her; after all, this had happened before.
