129: Chapter 129 Which should I choose?

The Elders looked at one another.

Expressions of tacit understanding appeared on their faces.

We dare not ask.

We dare not speak.

Grand Elder Qin Cangyue reacted the fastest, quickly clapping his hands and interjecting:

"Since the matter has already been resolved, I will not disturb Elder Mo's rest any further!"

"I will surely prepare a generous gift and visit in person to congratulate Elder Mo on his successful Core Formation another day!"

"Very well."

Mo Zixing nodded.

Qin Cangyue breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

The other Elders quickly followed suit, bidding farewell and slipping away from Qingsu Peak.

The courtyard quieted down once more.

Jiang Yuwei inched closer to Mo Zixing, her small hand gripping his robe corner tightly:

"Senior Brother, did you really let him go?"

Mo Zixing ruffled her hair:

"You could say that. I let him go where he belongs."

Liu Qingyan walked to Mo Zixing's side, reached out to adjust his collar, and said softly:

"Well done. This kind of person should be eliminated."

Su Li also nodded, rarely expressing her agreement.

Bai Ruotong leaned against the courtyard wall and pursed her lips:

"Not bad at all."

"Alright, don't just stand there like fools."

Mo Zixing smiled, and while speaking, he reached out to push open the precarious courtyard gate beside them:

"Let's go back."

The door hinge emitted a harsh, grating sound.

Immediately, the entire gate collapsed with a crash.

A scene of utter chaos met their eyes.

The entire courtyard had been razed to the ground by the Lightning Tribulation, and the roofs of several Sleeping Quarters had almost completely collapsed.

It was certainly impossible to stay here.

Mo Zixing looked at the ruins before him and helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"Don't worry."

Liu Qingyan walked forward and took his arm:

"I will arrange for some people to come and repair and rebuild it later."

"For now... why don't you come stay at my Qingdan Peak for a few days?"

Mo Zixing nodded.

That was the only option.

The group packed up what few usable items remained and followed Liu Qingyan to Qingdan Peak.

Seeing so many people return, the female Disciples guarding the gate of Qingdan Peak hurriedly lowered their heads and bowed in greeting.

They only dared to steal glances at the only man in the group, Mo Zixing.

Liu Qingyan led everyone into the Sleeping Quarters and arranged rooms for them individually:

"Senior Sister Su, you take this room on the east side."

"Jiang Yuwei, you take the room on the west side."

"As for Sect Master Bai, I apologize for the inconvenience, but please stay in the guest room furthest to the south."

Since they were on Liu Qingyan's peak, none of them had any other objections.

They all nodded.

Each took their belongings and went back to their rooms to settle in.

In the end, only Mo Zixing remained standing there.

He looked at Liu Qingyan and asked half-jokingly:

"Revered Master, what about me? Where am I staying?"

A slight flush rose on Liu Qingyan's cheeks, and she shot him a glare before reaching out to grab his wrist:

"You're asking when you already know."

Saying this,

she pulled him into her own room and shut the door behind them.

"Does Revered Master wish to Cultivate?"

Back in the familiar room, Mo Zixing stretched, walked to the bedside, and sat down.

"You've just finished a Breakthrough and you're already thinking about those messy things, you, oh you."

Liu Qingyan reached out and lightly struck him, her tone carrying a hint of playful reproach:

"Rest well for a while first. You just weathered such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation; you must be exhausted."

She laid Mo Zixing down and pressed her slender, soft fingers gently onto his shoulders.

Mo Zixing sighed comfortably, compliantly lying down with his head resting on her lap.

"That said,"

Liu Qingyan asked softly while massaging him:

"I remember that when the first Lightning Tribulation struck, your clothes were blasted into nothingness."

"Where did this one you're wearing come from?"

Mo Zixing closed his eyes and replied casually:

"It's a secret."

Liu Qingyan gave him an annoyed pinch, but did not press him further.

Enjoying his Revered Master's exclusive massage,

Mo Zixing's mind gradually relaxed.

This major Realm Breakthrough had once again granted him an opportunity for Against Heavens Fate.

He had been busy and hadn't had time to use it yet.

Mo Zixing moved his mind.

He opened his interface.

[Innate Luck: Candle Dragon Bloodline (Red), Medicine Spirit Body (Gold), Thunderstrike Immortality (Purple), Burning Flame Body (Purple), Bottom-out Rebound (Gold), Sudden Killing Intent (Red)]

[Acquired Luck: Spirit Spring Body Tempering (Purple)]

Mo Zixing looked at these seven glittering traits, his brows slightly furrowed.

Not one of them was truly useless.

[Candle Dragon Bloodline] was his Foundation; the reason he could achieve such rapid cultivation growth was the Dual Cultivation bonus contained in this trait.

This one really couldn't be touched.

[Medicine Spirit Body] not only helped him with Alchemy but also provided an excellent Wood Spirit Root.

Future high-level Medicinal Pill refinement would depend entirely on it.

[Thunderstrike Immortality] had just saved his life during the Lightning Tribulation and was also related to his outstanding Lightning Spirit Root.

It was not appropriate to remove it, either logically or emotionally.

[Burning Flame Body], although it didn't have any particularly special bonuses, was related to his Fire Spirit Root.

Without it, the Qi used to condense his Flying Sword would lose a component, and its power would be greatly diminished.

As for [Bottom-out Rebound].

As a Gold-quality life-saving trait, the more desperate the situation, the more terrifying the power it could unleash.

Generally speaking, this was an ability only a Child of Destiny possessed; he really couldn't bear to discard it.

[Sudden Killing Intent] was his strongest killing move and his trump card for having a chance to kill enemies above his Realm.

Being able to defeat the Golden Core Ninth Level Sect Master Kang Qiao while in the Crystallization Stage relied on this unexpected strike.

Looking at it this way,

it seemed that none of the traits could be abandoned.

In the end, only [Spirit Spring Body Tempering] in the Acquired Luck column remained.

But this trait not only could temper his Physique but also provided a decent bonus to Cultivation efficiency.

After this period of Cultivation and Breakthrough, it had also implicitly helped him forge the most solid Foundation.

Which one should he discard?
