Chapter 1297 Spiritual Energy Outburst

1297 Spiritual Energy Outburst

Sometime after Liang Dishan left the mansion, he arrived at the Heaven and Earth Grand Manor, a secluded sect with fewer than a thousand disciples.

Despite their small number of disciples, the Heaven and Earth Grand Manor was an immense powerhouse within the Third Heaven. They were the most powerful sect and had the highest concentration of geniuses— true geniuses that have the capability to fight those at a much higher cultivation than themselves.

The Heaven and Earth Grand Manor also had a presence in the upper heavens, which granted them connections and resources far beyond what other sects could hope to compare.

All of the Sect Elders in the Heaven and Earth Grand Manor were Spirit Kings with many of them being at the peak of Spirit King.

"Senior Liang, what can we do for you today?" The Sect Leader of the Heaven and Earth Grand Manor personally greeted Liang Dishan when he arrived.

"Where's my daughter? I need her to return home immediately," he said.

The Sect Leader responded while shaking his head, "Unfortunately, Disciple Liang just entered closed cultivation. If we disturb her now, it might affect her cultivation."

Typically, when an individual goes into secluded cultivation, they stand at the precipice of a breakthrough, requiring utmost tranquility and forbearance of interruptions, as even the slightest disruption could bring irreparable harm to them.

However, to the Sect Leader's shock, Liang Dishan said, "I don't care. Bring her out. This is an emergency."

Liang Qinru was the Liang Family's priceless treasure. She had talents that hadn't been seen in their family for over 100,000 years, so they poured all of their efforts and resources into her. The thought of damaging her talents and her future was simply unthinkable even if the chances of that happening were less than one percent, regardless of the emergency.

"Senior Liang, I don't want to sound rude, but it would be imprudent to interrupt her at this point." The Sect Leader sighed.

"I am well aware of the risks. However, this matter exceeds that. If you're not going to bring her out, I will personally do it myself!" Liang Dishan exclaimed, his patience wearing thin.

The Sect Leader sighed again, "I understand. I'll go call her right now."

Sometime after the Sect Leader left, the entire Heaven and Earth Grand Manor shook violently, almost as though it was hit by an earthquake.

Furthermore, the atmosphere pulsated with an overwhelming reservoir of spiritual energy, an immense force that served as the true catalyst behind the earthquake.

When Liang Dishan sensed the spiritual energy and recognized it as his daughter's spiritual energy, he gritted his teeth and clenched fists, his face filled with dread.

'Qinru, I'm sorry!' he cried inwardly.

The occurrence of a spiritual energy outburst in this manner typically signifies that someone's profound breakthrough has been prematurely disrupted, so the chances of Liang Qinru's breakthrough being interrupted were quite high.

Liang Dishan's worst nightmare came true when the Sect Leader returned to him with a pale complexion.

"Where's my daughter?" Liang Dishan asked with a deep frown.

"She's currently being treated for her injury. There's no way you didn't feel the disturbance just now. Because we interrupted her right before she had a breakthrough, she's currently experiencing immense backlash. If I hadn't prepared for this possibility beforehand and treated her the instant it happened, her cultivation would've been crippled! This is why I didn't want to disturb her!"

Liang Dishan rubbed his eyes and asked, "How bad is it?"

"Very bad—worst case scenario. That spiritual energy outburst just now was more than half of her cultivation base, so she's only a Spirit Lord now. It will take another 100 years for her to recover, and we still don't know if her talents have been affected by this incident."

"Heavens…" Liang Dishan felt his knees weakening after hearing such news.

"Just what is this emergency, anyways?" The Sect Leader asked.

Liang Dishan refused to answer such a question. After all, if it was revealed that he risked Liang Qinru's cultivation in order for her to meet someone, his reputation would vanish instantly.

After another hour, Liang Qinru's treatment was completed, and she was returned to Liang Dishan.

At the sight of his daughter, her pale countenance and fragile demeanor sent Liang Dishan's heart plummeting.

"Q-Qinru! Are you okay?!" he asked her.

"Do I appear fine to you!? You disturbed my breakthrough, causing me to forfeit half of my cultivation! Just why did you come here?!" she bellowed in fury.

Liang Dishan lapsed into silence, his response eluding him in the face of her anger.

After a moment of silence, he muttered, "Let's go. Your grandfather is waiting for our return."

"No! I will not leave until you tell me what this emergency is!" Liang Qinru sternly refused.

Liang Dishan didn't say anything else and used his spiritual energy to carry her, forcing her to move. If Liang Qinru still had her original cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to do such a thing.

"I can't believe you! Just wait until I tell Grandpa about this!" Liang Qinru was left baffled by his unreasonable treatment towards her, especially when he had always treated her like a princess.

Sometime later, once things calmed down a little, Liang Qinru asked again, "Father, what happened? Did something happen to the family?"

"No, but something might if we don't return immediately. We have an important guest, and you're going to meet him."

Liang Qinru's jaw dropped after hearing this news.

"You nearly cost me my life just so I could meet someone?! Are you out of your mind?!" she cried out loud.

"He isn't just someone. He's a Dragon Emperor from the Xi Family!" he exclaimed.

However, that didn't quell Liang Qinru's anger.

"I don't care if he's a Dragon Emperor or from the Xi Family! How dare you sell me to another man?! And you are the one who's always telling me to stay away from them!"

"Nobody is trying to sell you! He just wants to meet you for some reason! But if he fancies you, it would greatly benefit our entire family and you! With his influence, he could easily compensate you for your injury today and more!"

Because they were in such a hurry, Liang Xiaosheng forgot to tell Liang Dishan their reason for wanting Liang Qinru.

"Are you listening to yourself?! If you aren't trying to sell me, I don't know what is!"

'This is why I didn't want to come…' Liang Dishan sighed inwardly.
