Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1341 - 573: Change in Mindset

At this moment, in the corner of the Council Hall, some people were still there, enthusiastically discussing matters of the "East Sea Alliance."

At this time, these people saw Li Yunjing and the Bibo Immortals communicating, and their eyes naturally glanced over.

Ji Zixuan stood aside, behaving obediently, seemingly very polite.

But as soon as Li Yunjing finished talking with his parents, her eyes lit up, and she immediately tugged at Li Yunjing’s sleeve coquettishly, "Brother Yunjing, I haven’t had a proper stroll around ’Shenxiao Island’ for a long time, will you take me out to play?"

"Uh..."

Li Yunjing instinctively touched his nose and looked at Ji Zixuan with a helpless expression.

This little demon, under her parents’ protection, lived carefree and oblivious to the hardships of the mortal world, with no one daring to harm her, maintaining her childlike innocence even for many years thereafter.

Unfortunately, he had aged.

In middle age, his focus was on the major affairs of the Sect and the conflicts in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

He was no longer the person who lived for himself.

With a heart full of pressures, how could he have the mind to enjoy himself like Ji Zixuan?

"Yunjing, just take this girl along; ever since she reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, she’s been longing to meet you."

Ji Shuhan laughed and said, "Cultivation is important, but relaxation is just as essential! There’s always someone taller to bear the weight of the sky, so don’t worry too much."

With his last words, Ji Shuhan offered a meaningful exhortation.

"I understand!"

Li Yunjing felt a tremor in his heart, smiled, nodded in agreement, bade farewell to the "Bibo Immortals," and strolled on "Shenxiao Island" with Ji Zixuan.

Just as Ji Shuhan suggested, he indeed had too much weighing on his mind.

This journey to the East Sea was in haste—wherever he went, he didn’t take the time to appreciate the scenery along the way.

Like on this "Shenxiao Island," as dazzling lights awoke and enchanting night descended, the buildings under the glow looked magnificent.

Yet, ever since his arrival, he hadn’t stopped to admire it in detail.

It left a deeply felt sigh within him.

Since his quest for the position of Sect Leader Venerable for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," he seemed to live solely for the Sect.

Of course, he wouldn’t change his mind.

Perhaps one day, when he elevates the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" to new heights, he might grow weary and, like previous Sect Leader Venerables, retreat to focus solely on cultivation, hoping to ascend to the Immortal Realm?

What lies ahead?

Li Yunjing couldn’t say for sure. Every stage of life has its goals and personal aspirations.

The immortal path is long; no one can predict whether one may remain true to their original aspirations in a thousand years.

After all, royal ambitions, romantic entanglements, and unimaginable wealth—all are pursuits that might reach enough.

Ascendancy to immortality seemingly becomes the ultimate pursuit for High Tier Cultivators.

Li Yunjing smiled slightly, resolving his inner conflict, and felt much better, more cheerful than before.

"Let’s go, Zixuan! I’ll take you to see the garden!"

With a smile, Li Yunjing led Ji Zixuan to the Spirit Plant Garden.

In the garden, strange flowers and grasses bloom at night, exuding waves of freshness.

"Wow... it’s so beautiful here!"

Ji Zixuan, like a happy little bird, fluttered amidst the flowers, occasionally picking a few Spirit Flowers she liked.

"Brother Yunjing, this flower is so pretty, here, for you!"

Ji Zixuan bounced over, handing Li Yunjing a Spirit Flower emitting a rainbow glow.

Li Yunjing took the flower and said with a smile, "Thank you, Zixuan, but be careful, some Spirit Flowers have special properties, don’t accidentally trigger them."

The botanical garden of "Shenxiao Island" is composed of Spiritual Materials, not ordinary plants; some beautiful flowers are highly poisonous, so he naturally had to warn Ji Zixuan to avoid poisoning.

Though Li Yunjing thought that even if poisoned, it could be resolved without fatal results.

Still, the outcome wouldn’t be pretty.

"Got it!"

Ji Zixuan stuck out her little tongue and carefully cuddled the picked Spirit Flowers, saying, "Brother Yunjing, I’ll definitely be careful!"

She hopped over to a cluster of Spirit Flowers shaped like butterflies, whose petals flapped translucently, emitting a pleasant buzz.

Just as Ji Zixuan reached out to touch it, Li Yunjing quickly grabbed her small hand.

"Careful!"

Li Yunjing swiftly shielded Ji Zixuan behind him and saw that the piece of Spirit Flowers suddenly exhibited an eerie transformation.

The branches and leaves morphed into bone spikes, violently attacking Li Yunjing.

"Brother Yunjing, what kind of flower is this?"

As she watched Li Yunjing crush the branches and leaves of the flower to eliminate the danger, Ji Zixuan shakily drew her soft sword from her waist and asked cautiously.

"Zixuan, this is a ’Demon Butterfly Flower’!"

Li Yunjing explained, "It’s considered a very distinctive Tier Two High-Level Spirit Plant! ’Demon Butterfly Flower’ has self-defense mechanisms, launching attacks on any approaching creature, making it quite dangerous!"

"Oh!"

Ji Zixuan’s eyes twinkled as she tugged on Li Yunjing’s arm, giggling, "Brother Yunjing, can you give me two ’Demon Butterfly Flowers’?"

"Hmm? Why do you want them? You just saw how dangerous they were, didn’t you?"

Li Yunjing immediately asked three consecutive questions.

Ji Zixuan isn’t just anyone; if something really happened, how could he answer to the "Bibo Immortals?"

It seemed Ji Zixuan’s ability wasn’t quite up to par with the ’Demon Butterfly Flowers.’

This made Li Yunjing subtly shake his head.

The "Bibo Immortals" really coddled this little girl to the heavens, not even urging her to cultivate properly.

"It’s okay!"

Ji Zixuan shook Li Yunjing’s arm, raised her small face, looking at him with puppy eyes, and said in a cutesy tone, "These flowers are so beautiful! I just want them! I want to plant them in my own garden."

"Sigh..."

For this little ancestor, Li Yunjing had no solution, so he had to nod and agree but still reminded her, "I can give them to you! But you must let your parents confirm there’s no problem first!"
