The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix – Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Senior Brother, Mayflies Shaking Boulders

Thunderclap—

In an instant, black clouds pressed down upon the city, and the forbidden land of a thousand acres behind the Sword Sect was filled with earth-shattering lightning.

More than ten Sword Sect elders combined their attacks on the boundary monument of the Sword Sect’s forbidden land, causing the earth to roar and gales to rise, as if the surrounding landscape would be flattened in the next moment.

Thirty miles east of the boundary monument, before an ancient rock cave, a figure stood silently, looking up at the soaring spiritual light of the Nascent Soul cultivators.

“Hoo—”

Ye Anping let out a soft breath, inwardly sighing that when Nascent Soul cultivators truly fought, even looking up from afar was impossible for Foundation Establishment cultivators like himself; it was a difference as vast as heaven and earth.

Facing a Core Formation cultivator head-on, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage like himself and his junior sister could still stand a chance if they found a weakness and prepared thoroughly.

However, if they were to face a Nascent Soul cultivator, no amount of strategy or scheming would be effective.

There is a saying in the world: when their child is in danger, a mother can unleash a hundred times her strength, easily lifting objects weighing several tons.

A hundred times is the limit of human muscle and bone.

The difference between the Core Formation stage and the Foundation Establishment stage is a hundredfold in terms of flesh and spirit. The Nascent Soul stage is a hundred times above the Core Formation stage. This is a chasm that courage and love alone cannot bridge.

Yet, what he was about to do was to shake a boulder with the body of a mayfly.

“I’m quite overestimating myself, huh…”

“Senior Brother, I’m ready!”

His junior sister’s voice came from the mountain cave behind him. Ye Anping withdrew his contemplation, summoned his spirit sword from his Storage Bag, and turned to walk into the cave.

The cave was filled with weeds and vines. Pei Lianxue stood before a cracked stone tablet, holding the Snow Jade Myriad Spirit Sword. She was now wearing a golden white Immortal Robe, with feather belts fluttering on her shoulders, exuding an immortal aura.

It is said that after a spring night, a daughter gains a touch of mature charm. However, she showed no change; her clear eyes still sparkled with a maiden’s innocence.

“Are your legs still sore?”

“Not sore. I feel much more energetic than before, and my spiritual energy is also flowing smoothly.”

“Naturally. Let’s prepare to break the restriction.”

Ye Anping could only smile wryly. When he had previously examined his junior sister’s meridians, he discovered that the vast amount of cultivation he had gained from the Qiong Peak incident had been almost entirely absorbed by her.

Under normal circumstances, a Dao Companion would complement each other’s deficiencies and cultivate together. However, his junior sister, perhaps unconsciously or due to her constitution, had treated him like a cultivation furnace and absorbed his energy, causing him to expend a considerable amount of his cultivation. Meanwhile, she had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Because of his Golden Finger, he had an abundance of spiritual energy and cultivation to begin with, so being absorbed by his junior sister had little impact.

However, once or twice was fine, but such a situation over the long term would inevitably lead to problems.

Typical cultivator methods include meditating to accumulate Qi, absorbing energy from Earth Spirit Veins, or drawing from spiritual springs. Each method is a field of study in itself. If the method is used incorrectly, it will not only fail to increase cultivation but could also result in a waste of effort, severe damage to meridians, or even death by self-explosion.

Ye Anping had never studied the methods of dual cultivation before; there was no such thing in games. He figured he would need to find someone to consult about dual cultivation methods later.

But then came the problem: whom to ask?

If he asked his mother, she would undoubtedly explain everything in meticulous detail.

However, knowing his mother as he did, Kong Yulan would definitely be by their bedside during his and his junior sister’s wedding chamber, teaching them…

To perform dual cultivation with his junior sister while being watched by his mother…

While this might be socially acceptable and common in this world, he found it hard to accept.

Perhaps he could ask Si Xuanji?

But if she were to teach him, it would inevitably involve a practical demonstration.

A practical demonstration…

Ye Anping looked down at his small frame, somewhat unsure if he could handle an old monster in the Void Return stage.

If the Old Loli got carried away, he would definitely perish on the spot, and he wouldn’t have anywhere to run, nor would anyone be able to stop her.

Seeing Ye Anping standing there motionlessly, Pei Lianxue tilted her head in confusion and softly called out:

“Senior Brother, why are you spacing out? What are you thinking about?”

“It’s nothing…” Ye Anping quickly snapped back to reality, shaking his head and replying, “Just thinking about a few things.”

“What things?”

“Nothing important. Saving Yun Xi is the priority.”

Ye Anping closed his eyes, exhaled softly, gathered spiritual energy into his right hand, raised his sword, and assumed a stance, ready to cooperate with his junior sister to break through the restriction here.

The forbidden area behind the Moon Shadow Sword Sect was protected by Yun Tianchong’s protective order, making it impossible for anyone to enter. The methods to break the restriction included, like Zhuang Yan, using Yun Xi’s Yun family bloodline in conjunction with the Leaf Shadow Sword Art, or, like Yun Yiyi, having several Nascent Soul cultivators attack together.

He intended to borrow Yun Jian Shang Xian’s Snow Jade Myriad Spirit Sword and combine it with his and his junior sister’s two Sword Arts to break through the restriction and enter.

However, just as he was ready, Pei Lianxue put down her sword, stepped forward, took his hand, and said with a pout and a frown:

“Senior Brother!”

“Hmm?”

“If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I can help you share them.” Pei Lianxue twisted her eyebrows and spoke an unusually long sentence. “Didn’t you say I’ve grown up, Senior Brother? Then you can rely on me more from now on. If anything comes up, tell me, and we’ll figure it out together. In the past, it was always you racking your brain over everything… you planned everything for me. I don’t want you to be so tired.”

“… …”

“I just want you to have some time to lie in my arms and rest, just like I used to rest in your arms, not thinking about anything, just needing to listen to your words. It was so relaxing. From now on, you can do the same. I’ll think of everything, and you can just rely on me. I will protect you!”

“Hoo—” Ye Anping suddenly felt like laughing. He tapped her head and said, “Silly girl, you’re still a long way off. When playing chess, you look three steps ahead; when planning, you need to plan a thousand ways. You can’t even beat Ating at chess, so where did this confidence come from?”

“I’m not silly… I’ve been with Senior Brother for so many years, I’ve learned just by watching.”

Ye Anping pondered for a moment and tested her:

“Then, if Yun Xi knew we were here, what would she be thinking?”

“Hmm…” Pei Lianxue rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment. “She’d be thinking that Junior Sister Pei brought Senior Brother to rescue her?”

“No, she’d just curse us…” Ye Anping smiled and said, “Junior Sister Pei!! Stop showing off your affection with your Senior Brother over there. Can’t you see your old mother is about to die?!”

Pei Lianxue thought about it and felt it made sense, nodding awkwardly:

“That’s true…”

“Then stop dawdling. If we’re any later, she might really lose her life. Yun Kunwu is extremely arrogant, and Yun Xi, who fears the strong and exploits the weak, is but an ant to him, a plaything. He won’t kill her. However, once Elder Tian Xing and the others arrive, Yun Kunwu will undoubtedly use Yun Xi as a shield, putting them in a passive position.”

“Yes, then what should we do?”

“The timing, the advantage of the terrain, and the unity of people. The timing is determined by heaven, and the unity of people is fully prepared by me. In a moment, we just need to shift the advantage of the terrain towards Elder Tian Xing and the others, thereby assisting them in killing Yun Kunwu and Zhuang Yan. Alright, let’s break the restriction.”

Pei Lianxue nodded in agreement, moved five feet away, and together with Ye Anping, raised their spirit swords.

Surging sword energy swirled around their swords, transforming into dozens of sword shadows that converged on the stone tablet before them. Instantly, dust filled the air, engulfing their figures.

When the dust settled, their figures had disappeared.
