Chapter 223: The Xu Family

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At the moment, Xu Wan’er had no idea that there was actually an Apotheosis Stage expert hiding beside her.

If Xu Wan’er knew that, she would definitely be scared half to death.

After all, she was a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator now.

Although her cultivation had already reached level eight of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the gap between her and an Apotheosis Stage cultivator was like the difference between the sky and the ground.

If an Apotheosis Stage cultivator wanted to kill her, it would be no different from crushing an ant.

Jing Ming was not in a hurry to alert Xu Wan’er.

Right now, he was immersed in his memories.

Jing Ming was born into a celestial cultivation family in the Upper Realm.

That clan was the first-rate Xu family.

Jing Ming’s real name was Xu Jingming.

However, the reason why he gave up the surname Xu was because he had almost cut off all ties with the Xu family.

In his early years, Jing Ming was just an unknown branch disciple of the Xu family.

Although he had displayed good cultivation talent, it was not too heaven-defying.

Therefore, although Jing Ming had entered the Spirit Sword Sect by chance, his status in the family had not changed much.

In Jing Ming’s branch, there were only Jing Ming, his parents, and a few siblings.

He was a true nobody in the Xu family.

But if that was the case, Jing Ming and his family would not have had such a big conflict when he reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

The root of everything was Jing Ming’s wife.

When Jing Ming was in the Core Formation Stage, he met a Practitioner partner.

Although the other party’s cultivation was not bad, her talent was average.

When Jing Ming was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the other party was also in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

When Jing Ming was in the Core Formation Stage, the other party was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, because the two of them had known each other for a long time, Jing Ming’s relationship with the other party was actually very good.

After Jing Ming successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, everything changed.

First of all, Jing Ming did not show any talent in cultivation in his early years.

However, after he entered the Spirit Sword Sect, he showed amazing talent in Swordsmanship.

Spirit Sword Sect was also a place that specialized in cultivating Sword Celestials.

Thus, Jing Ming could be said to be like a fish in water there.

Jing Ming, who had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, also became a direct disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect outer sect.

Not only did his status in the Spirit Sword Sect increase substantially, but even the Xu Family also looked at Jing Ming in a different light.

It should be known that the so-called first-rate aristocratic families had a living powerhouse at the Ethereal Stage.

The super first-class families had powerhouses at the Nascent Fusion Stage and above.

After the Nascent Fusion Stage was the Mahayana Stage, also known as the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

The Three Upper Realm Sects could become the cultivation holy land of the Upper Realm because each sect had a patriarch at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Reaching the Nascent Soul Stage at the age of less than 100, Jing Ming’s future was bright.

Becoming a Apotheosis Stage cultivator in the future was almost certain.

If he was lucky enough, it was not impossible for him to also break through to the Ethereal Stage.

And the strength of the Ethereal Stage was enough to warrant him the position of guardian of the Xu family.

Therefore, after Jing Ming broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, the Xu family began to treat Jing Ming extremely well.

They even started to matchmake Jing Ming and the other aristocratic family disciples.

As for Jing Ming’s Practitioner partner, because of her mediocre talent, even with Jing Ming’s help, she could only barely reach the Core Formation Stage in the end.

After that, no matter how hard Jing Ming tried, the other party could not advance any further.

The lifespan of a Core Formation Stage cultivator was only a short 500 years compared to the lifespan of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, which was at least 1,000 years.

Furthermore, Jing Ming obviously wouldn’t stay in the Nascent Soul Stage forever.

When Jing Ming broke through to the Apotheosis Stage, his lifespan would increase to 3,000 years.

As a result, Jing Ming’s Practitioner partner was no longer worthy of him.

Although Jing Ming didn’t think so, his family and the rest of the sect thought so.

On one of his expeditions, Jing Ming accidentally saved a woman from a super first-class family.

Because of that, the damsel in distress had feelings for Jing Ming.

She even lowered her status to matchmake her family with Jing Ming’s family.

That was naturally a good thing for the Xu family.

However, Jing Ming had already completed his engagement with his Practitioner partner in advance.

If Jing Ming wanted to become Practitioner partners with this young lady from a super-first-rate family, he would undoubtedly have to abandon his original Practitioner partner.

It was not that Jing Ming could only marry one person in his lifetime.

However, it was already very outrageous for a lady from a super-first-class world to be willing to marry oneself.

If Jing Ming still treated the other party as a small family, it would simply be stepping on the other party’s face, not to mention that the young lady’s family did not approve of their marriage.

Jing Ming was talented, but it was not to the extent that they needed to use their direct descendants to form a marriage alliance.

If the young lady was not a direct descendant of the other party’s family, then things would not be so troublesome.

However, it was precisely because of the other party’s noble status that both the other party’s family and Jing Ming’s family told Jing Ming to get rid of his original Practitioner partner.

However, the Xu family was not fools. They knew very well that if they did so directly, it would undoubtedly greatly agitate Jing Ming.

Therefore, when Jing Ming was in seclusion, they found his original Practitioner partner.

They also told the other party to be tactful and leave Jing Ming’s side..
