Li Ji'an nodded, understanding the whole sequence of events.
This indeed matched Funiu Ascendant's intellect.
He always had the intention to protect Xiaojiu.
Besides, he originally thought that with only two inferior Core Formation Spirit Treasures, Xiaojiu would most likely be unable to achieve an Upper True Pill, thereby not becoming Funiu Ascendant's successor. After Funiu Ascendant's life ended, Funiu Mountain would be divided again, and he would lose this stable cultivation Dao Field.
Now that Funiu Ascendant had thoroughly planned for Xiaojiu's Core Formation, the Upper True Pill was practically secure.
Following that, Xiaojiu would only need to fake death and undergo closed-door cultivation. Unexpectedly, he could inherit Funiu Ascendant's will.
Considering Funiu Ascendant's years of planning, he should have already prepared the spiritual resources needed for Xiaojiu's ascendance to Ascendant.
