After listening to the Little Master’s story, Xiao Tong finally understood Xiao Tong’s origin. Xiao Tong was really Master’s son.
It was just that Little Master’s encounters in his previous life made Xiao Ling very sympathetic.
He did not expect the little master to die at the young age of five in his previous life. When he passed away, he didn’t even get the love of his mother. His mother even hated and despised him. The whole village mocked him. Other than his grandparents, who loved him, he had no one else. He also had to visit the hospital every few days.
Xiao Ling tilted his head and asked, “Little Master, do you hate Master? After all, in your previous life, master treated you very badly.”
Xiao Tong said with some sadness, “I don’t hate her. I even love her very much. I know that my mother doesn’t actually hate me. It’s just that at that time, she received a huge blow and suffered serious trauma. My birth intensified that trauma. She couldn’t accept me.”
He had been reincarnated twice, but he had never had true maternal love. It gave rise to his inner demons. It was why he had to return to this time and space.
But he realized that not only had he been reborn, but his mother had also been reborn.
Hence, the trajectory of his mother’s life was completely different from how it was in their previous life. People who harmed his mother had received their retribution.
Before he was born, he discovered that his mother really did care about him. The child who was called a bastard also had a father!
Xiao Tong asked seriously, “Xiao Ling, is it because of you that my mother was reborn?”
After a moment of silence, the spirit of space said, “Yes!”
Xiao Tong asked with some confusion, “You are only a relic spirit. How did you manage that?”
Xiao Ling said, “I may be a relic spirit, but I’m a relic from the heavenly world. I can manipulate spiritual energy and heavenly energy.”
Xiao Tong asked in surprise, “You are a magical artifact of the Heavenly World?! Are you not a magical artifact of the cultivation world?”
But how could a magical artifact of the immortal world be so weak in terms of spiritual energy?
Xiao Tong was somewhat incredulous.
“I’m from the Heavenly World,” Xiao Ling said, “The person who created me is an immortal child.”
“Immortal child?” Xiao Tong wanted to learn more about the heavenly world. After all, the goal of his cultivation was to ascend to the heavenly world. “Are the cultivation levels of the people in the heavenly world so low?” Xiao Tong asked in surprise. If that was the case, why would the cultivators waste so much energy cultivating to ascend to the heavens?
Xiao Ling rolled his eyes indecently and said, “Of course not.”
“Then what is the lowest level of cultivation in the heavenly world?” Xiao Tong asked curiously.
“The Mahayana stage, of course,” Xiao Ling said.
“The Mahayana stage?!” Xiao Tong was once again in disbelief. “The highest level of cultivation in the cultivation world is the Mahayana stage, but that is the lowest level of cultivation in your world. How is this possible?”
Xiao Ling said, “How is that impossible? In the heavenly world, children started cultivating in their mothers’ wombs. The longer they cultivate, the better their talent will be. Many immortal children are born at the third or fourth level of Qi refinement. The most talented people can reach the aurous core stage at birth.”
Xiao Tong was dumbfounded.
Only now did he understand that the gap between the world of cultivators and the immortals was really huge.
The world of cultivators worked desperately for thousands of years before they could reach the aurous core stage.
But the children in the immortal world could reach the aurous core stage at birth.
The comparison was scary.
Xiao Ling continued, “You can defeat me now because I’ve used most of my energy in a heavenly ritual to reverse time and send Master back.”
When Xiao Tong heard this, he frowned and asked in confusion, “Why did you send my mother back to the past?” Xiao Tong now suspected Xiao Ling had ulterior motives.
Xiao Ling didn’t think so much. He said with a heart full of worry, “I have been buried under the river of time for too long. I really want to be free!
“I’ve waited for a very, very long time, probably more than 10,000 years before I finally found a master who was compatible with my relic. Only Master can activate the space within my relic.
“But in the previous life, master passed away before she even found the space.
“I was not satisfied. I wanted to be free. I would pay any price to be free!
“Therefore, I used heavenly energy to reverse the flow of them. As a result, my training faded away, and I became an ordinary magical artifact.”
Xiao Tong, “…”
He should thank Xiao Ling.
Really!
