Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1102: Chapter 70 Heaven-Mending Stone Refining Journal

Heaven-Mending Stone Refining Journal, Author: Kunlun Mirror.

Day 67, played games with Junior Sister.

Day 68, played games with Junior Sister.

Day 69, recently feeling a bit depleted, speaking of which, although Junior Sister Xu has a sharp tongue, her body is surprisingly honest, huh? Could it be she’s afraid that Shi Liuli would steal me away, hahaha… To be honest, always playing games feels like neglecting my duties. Tomorrow, I will begin paying attention to the Heaven-Mending Stone refining process.

Day 70, completely couldn’t understand what Liuli was saying, took a lot of seemingly irrelevant notes, went back to the bedroom to have Junior Sister explain, ended up playing games.

Day 71, got caught playing games by Senior Sister! I’m doomed!

Kunlun Mirror stood at the bedroom door, watching the expressionless An Zhisu, the huddled Xu Yinglian under the blankets, and the dressing Chen Guanshui, mentally piecing together a villain’s diary, feeling utterly delighted.

Come to think of it, this caught-in-action scene didn’t faze Guanshui at all; he managed to put on a Daoist robe with composure—just as one would expect!

On the other hand, Xu Yinglian simply huddled under the blanket, refusing to show her face, which is really useless!

Chen Guanshui actually didn’t feel embarrassed, because he knew that at this moment, Junior Sister Xu’s embarrassment would certainly be above his, and each moment Senior Sister An and Ah Jing lingered at the door was an invisible trample on Junior Sister’s face and self-esteem.

Thus, he quickly jumped out of bed and sent a secret message to Xu Yinglian:

“Don’t be afraid, leave it to me.”

Then, Chen Guanshui dragged Ah Jing and An Zhisu out.

After a while, Xu Yinglian, hiding under the blanket, finally rustled to change her clothes and lifted the covers.

She gathered her loose long hair and took a deep breath.

Then transformed into a blaze and disappeared.

Chen Guanshui pushed the two out the door, into the corridor, only to hear An Zhisu suddenly ask:

“Why?”

Her voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating her worldview had taken a significant hit. Chen Guanshui slightly frowned but quickly forced a bitter smile and said:

“Senior Sister, Junior Sister she… ahem, Qiong Ying is my Daoist Companion in Kunlun.”

An Zhisu was struck as if by thunder, unable to speak for a long time.

Her reaction was a bit strange, but Chen Guanshui quickly realized, although Senior Sister isn’t foolish, she dislikes thinking and can’t immediately deduce like Shi Liuli that “if the husband has other Daoist Companions outside,” then “he must have been intimate with them,” and perhaps Senior Sister hasn’t even linked “becoming Daoist Companions” to “Dual Cultivation” in her mind yet!

“Ah Jing.” To give An Zhisu some time to calm down, Chen Guanshui turned to Kunlun Mirror and with a serious tone asked, “Why did you suddenly come looking for me?”

“Dong You Fellow talked of issues with refining. I couldn’t answer, so I came to seek you.” Kunlun Mirror honestly replied.

Was it deliberate or accidental? Chen Guanshui began to ponder.

He quickly inclined towards deliberate because not only does Liuli Lady have the ability, but also the motive—if Xu Yinglian and An Zhisu’s relationship deteriorates, Shi Liuli would certainly be the first to laugh out loud.

As the head of the family, keeping the inner quarters peaceful, one might need to warn Liuli not to continue sowing discord…

Hmm?

Chen Guanshui suddenly realized a problem: Would it be beneficial for him if the ladies were harmonious, understanding each other, and unified?

Individuals not fighting might be a dream to many men, but the premise is being able to hold them in check.

Not yet transcended to immortality, though overwhelmingly powerful against any of his ladies individually, a joint challenge from all three might indeed be difficult to handle.

Suppressing inner quarters and maintaining peace talks, obviously necessary. But that could wait until after ascension…

Thinking of ascension, Chen Guanshui started feeling irritated.

Kunlun Mirror had long exchanged insights with him, regardless of success in mending, even if the Heaven-Mending Stone is refined by the ladies, the bounty of merits distributed should be enough for an immediate ascension.

The only problem is, should he ascend right then and there.

The first issue is, ascension being the ultimate goal of cultivation bears more significance than mere life. Most cultivators would undoubtedly choose to ascend immediately, leaving a scant few exceptions like Chi Song, Long Eyebrow, and Wan Xiang stuck in this world, figuring out alternatives.

Of course, theoretically, since cultivation goes against the heavenly order, ascension forces are a one-time opportunity.

But mending heavens is following nature’s will, Heavenly Dao grants great merit, even if choosing not to ascend on the spot, possibly later, with preparations, the reward can be claimed… probably?

Chen Guanshui soon understood, uncertainty remains here.

Given these assumptions, and historically only one instance where moral achievements aided ascension, with that power opting for a direct route to the Immortal Realm, no one knows the consequence of rejecting this privilege.

Supposing he chooses to stay in this world, accompanying the ladies through their last moments, later finding out unable to use the ascension force, waiting for the ladies reaching Feather Transformation stage to leave this realm together—analogous to them riding a high-speed rail while he’s cycling alongside—isn’t impractical either.

As a Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal he could independently leave the Heavenly Dome, venture through cosmic chaos following the ascending ladies on a prolonged journey to the Immortal Realm.

But the sheer distance and potentially endless Heavenly Demons could prove extremely troublesome.

Considering ascending first, awaiting the ladies’ right returns in the Immortal Realm, seems feasible… each possesses Great Luo Golden Immortal rank, as long as not foolishly disrupting the ascension process midway.

Weighing pros and cons, decision-making proves difficult.

The second issue is, described moral achievement-driven ascensions might be addictive.

Historically, many sages gained moral achievement from saving millions (not as dramatic as world-saving), leaving corresponding records.

Bathing in moral light’s sensation reportedly equates to winter hot springs amplified by ten thousand, rendering thought ability temporarily impaired.

Considering the massive moral reward from mending heavens, Chen Guanshui has to ponder: can he make a decision then?

Possibly at mending completion, reveling hits, waking up already in the Immortal Realm!

These considerations all pose as nuisances. Rare cases of moral achievements promoting ascension mean no one knows the exact details, safest assuredly being to follow through on ascension, as Heavenly Dao won’t harm in repayment of benevolence.

But leaving the ladies in this world, it truly saddens me…

Chen Guanshui experiences a strange illusion, as though he is a potential dragon about to ascend, yet grounded by countless worldly bonds.
