Vigorous

As she looked at the spot her ancestor had been standing in not too long ago, Xu Yue couldn't help but suddenly break out of her trance and turn her attention to Xu Lanfeng, who was standing nearby.

"It looks as though you wasted the entirety of the time of your ancestor," said Xu Lanfeng, causing a rather embarrassed look to appear on Xu Yue's face.

Seeing this, Xu Lanfeng slightly chuckled before shaking her head.

"You don't have to worry, I already talked with the Ancestor before you began, she isn't allowed to interfere in the Mortal World by the Grand Dao, so you don't have to worry, that was probably the best use of her time," said Xu Lanfeng, making Xu Yue nod and stop being embarrassed.

But as she heard the words of her ancestor, Xu Yue couldn't help but become slightly suspicious.

"Ancestor, you didn't ask her to guide me, did you?" asked Xu Yue as she looked at Xu Lanfeng, causing the latter to faintly nod.

"I did, but you don't have to worry, with my feeble power, I can't force a True Immortal to do anything, Ancestor Yang Bing had first examined you before deciding whether she should guide you, my input didn't have any effect," said Xu Lanfeng as she watched Xu Yue remove the restrictions that she had placed onto herself.

As she did so, a faintly surprised look couldn't help but appear on Xu Lanfeng's face.

Even though it was extremely faint, and Xu Lanfeng felt like she could destroy this feeling with but a thought, at the moment, Xu Lanfeng felt a bit of sharpness coming from Xu Yue, which made her raise one of her eyebrows.

'It looks like that training did indeed leave her some benefits,' thought Xu Lanfeng before suddenly disappearing, as she left Xu Yue alone to digest the things she had gained from this spar with her ancestor.

Even though it seemed as though Xu Yue had not made any progress in the three thousand years she had spent fighting her ancestor, Xu Yue knew that this wasn't the case better than anyone.

Right now, Xu Yue even felt as though if she had kept her Dao as the 'Boundless Sword Dao', she would be well on her way to becoming a True Immortal.

Of course, though, this was not the case, and although Xu Yue had made some great progress, she still had an extremely long way to becoming a True Immortal.

A moment later, Xu Yue suddenly entered her Sea of Consciousness.

...

As she looked at the enormous Dao Tree in front of her, which now had a somewhat deeper golden color, Xu Yue couldn't help but click her teeth together.

'I'm already over ten times stronger than a peak Dao Saint just in terms of Dao, but this tree just won't stop growing, how long will this thing take?' thought Xu Yue as she looked at her Dao Tree, which was over 108 thousand Li tall.

Compared to a normal Dao Tree of a Peak Dao Saint that cultivated a Normal Dao, which was around 5000 Li tall, this tree was around twenty times taller.

Although things weren't as exaggerated with those that cultivated Grand and Supreme Daos, her Dao Tree was still 3 times taller than that of someone who cultivated a Grand Dao, and 1.3 times taller than that of someone who cultivated a supreme Dao.

Of course, even though in sheer strength of Dao, Xu Yue was only around 30 percent stronger than a Peak Dao Saint with a Supreme Dao, this did not mean that her combat power was only 30 percent stronger, as even right now, Xu Yue's physical body was still stronger than her Dao.

...

As she looked at Hulli Jing, who was standing in front of her with an angry look on her face, Xu Yue suddenly felt a headache incoming.

Even though Xu Yue could bear being defeated for three thousand years straight, as she looked at Hulli Jing right now, she couldn't help but have thoughts about retreating from this battle.

Sadly for Xu Yue though, this time, Hulli Jing did not have any plans of letting Xu Yue go, as she suddenly appeared in front of Xu Yue.

Just as Hulli Jing was about to begin scolding Xu Yue, another voice suddenly emerged.

"Mother, you don't need to scold mother, I already told you this isn't that much of a big deal," said Xu Yanmei, who suddenly appeared behind Hulli Jing with a female cultivator behind her.

Even though one of her precious daughters had appeared, Xu Yue did not turn her attention to her immediately, rather, the first thing she turned her attention to was the female cultivator.

More specifically, the little fox that this cultivator was holding in her arms.

Only a fraction of a moment later, Xu Yue disappeared from in front of Hulli Jing and appeared in front of Xu Yanmei and the female cultivator.

As she looked at her little granddaughter, who was currently being held in the hands of her mother, Xu Yue couldn't help but feel somewhat bad, causing her to turn towards Xu Yanmei, who was standing in front of her.

"I'm sorry, Yanmei," said Xu Yue as she patted her daughter on the shoulder with a clearly sorry look in her eyes.

Hearing this, Xu Yanmei couldn't help but slightly chuckle and wave her hand.

"Mother, it's no big deal," said Xu Yanmei, causing three other women to suddenly appear behind her.

But unlike the first woman, who was holding just a single fox in her arms, these three women had a total of 9 foxes walking alongside them.

A fraction of a moment later, after she suddenly verified the blood connection between her, Xu Yanmei, these female cultivators, as well as these little foxes, Xu Yue couldn't help but feel rather speechless.

It was very rare for something to truly stump Xu Yue like this, but right now, Xu Yue truly did not know what to say to her vigorous daughter.
