The first one to lose her patience was the one far away on Sea God Island.
[Daughter of the Great Sea: Wuwuwu! I'm finally in! This girl was about to burst from holding it back!]
[Daughter of the Great Sea: Did you know? I obtained this diary two years ago! But every time I applied to join, it prompted that the capacity was full!]
[Daughter of the Great Sea: I could only watch the diary content but couldn't enter the group to chat, it's too cruel!]
Sea Witch's resentment almost overflowed through the screen, making the girls smile.
Compared to Sea Witch's liveliness, the one in the Extreme North appeared much colder and prouder.
[Dont Want to Become an Ice Sculpture: Is this the so-called chat group?]
[Dont Want to Become an Ice Sculpture: What exactly is going on? Who is that human named Lin Yuan?]
[Dont Want to Become an Ice Sculpture: I just obtained the diary instance, and I'm still completely confused about everything here.]
Bing Di's question was just sent when the elegant noblewoman in Moon Pavilion of Heaven Dou City couldn't help but speak as well.
[elegant noblewoman: Excuse me for interrupting everyone.]
[elegant noblewoman: I also want to ask, is the content written by this Lin Yuan in the diary all true?]
[elegant noblewoman: Does he really have the ability to foresee the future?]
In reality.
On the top floor of Moon Pavilion, in that elegant room filled with the scent of books.
Tang Yuehua, wearing a silver palace dress and looking dignified and elegant, was somewhat flusteredly flipping through the diary instance that had appeared out of thin air.
Because her spirit power was stuck at Rank nine for life, her mental force was also very weak.
Therefore, her speed of reading the diary content appeared exceptionally slow.
She watched the group messages while flipping through the diary content Lin Yuan had written over the past two years.
"This..."
As she read deeper, ripples gradually appeared in Tang Yuehua's eyes, which were originally as calm as water.
She saw news about her second brother, Tang Hao, who had been missing for many years.
What shocked her even more was... "Tang San is actually second brother's son?"
"That youth who was repeatedly mocked and even somewhat disliked by Lin Yuan in the diary is actually my biological nephew?"
Tang Yuehua had mixed feelings.
Although she had never met Tang San, blood is thicker than water; he was her second brother's only flesh and blood.
However, from between the lines of the diary, she could clearly feel that Lin Yuan seemed to have deep prejudices against the father and son pair, Tang Hao and Tang San.
Tang Yuehua rubbed her brow with some distress.
On one side was a mysterious youth who had the ability to foresee the future and could even change the continent's landscape, and on the other side were her closest relatives.
However, just as she was in a dilemma, a crisp notification sound suddenly rang in her mind, instantly dispersing all her worries.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Pity Reward: spirit power Rank +1!]
"Boom!"
A warm current, though weak, was like nectar to Tang Yuehua, instantly flowing through her whole body.
The Rank nine Bottleneck that had plagued her for decades like a natural chasm...
At this moment, it was broken!
"Ten... Rank ten?!"
Tang Yuehua stood up abruptly, her eyes full of surprise.
"Does this mean I can absorb a spirit ring? Can I Cultivate normally from now on?"
At this moment, Tang Hao, Tang San—everything was temporarily thrown to the back of her mind.
After so many years, she thought she had accepted her mediocrity, but now that she could Cultivate, she realized she had never truly let go.
She was just forced to let go.
Even if she wasn't at the optimal age for cultivation, or even quite old.
But what did that matter?
She was at least born with Innate Rank nine spirit power. Even if her cultivation speed slowed down significantly due to her age, reaching the Spirit Ancestor Rank as a baseline shouldn't be a problem, right?
Moreover, she had the System. It's just that she didn't understand the System yet and didn't know its great power, so she didn't dare to think too much.
To avoid the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
However, after the brief ecstasy, new troubles came.
"Wait, since I've broken through to Rank ten, I need to absorb my first spirit ring to continue advancing."
"But my Spirit..."
Tang Yuehua summoned the mutated Spirit named "Noble Ring." This was an extremely rare talent Domain-type Spirit.
It had no offensive power. Its only feature was releasing a powerful Noble Domain, calming people's emotions and purifying their souls.
This was also one of the reasons she could become the mistress of Moon Pavilion and teach those noble children.
"Except for stabilizing emotions, it's useless."
"With such a Spirit, what Spirit Beast should I hunt for my first spirit ring? In which direction should I develop?"
Tang Yuehua fell into deep confusion.
While she was distressed, someone in the group had already replied to her previous question about the "authenticity of the diary."
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: @elegant noblewoman, of course it's true, truer than real gold!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: If it weren't for Lin Yuan, the Green Phosphorus Snake Poison on me and my grandfather would still be an unsolvable knot.]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Even my grandfather being able to break through to Rank ninety-five now is all thanks to Lin Yuan!]
Speaking of this, Dugu Yan seemed to notice something and sent a confused expression:
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: But seeing your nickname is "Noble Lady," you shouldn't be young, right?]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Your cultivation shouldn't be low either, right? How come you've been in the group for so long and still haven't finished reading the diary?]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: If you had finished reading the cause and effect, you wouldn't have asked such an obvious question, right?]
Although Dugu Yan's words were unintentional, they were like a sharp arrow, accurately piercing Tang Yuehua's sore spot.
Not young... cultivation not low... not finished reading... every word reminded Tang Yuehua of her awkward age and low strength.
If it were her younger self, she probably would have been overwhelmed with shame and anger.
But after cultivating her mind in Moon Pavilion for so many years, Tang Yuehua's Heart-Nature had long been tempered to remain unruffled by favor or humiliation.
She took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her mindset, and replied elegantly in the group:
[elegant noblewoman: Sorry for making a fool of myself.]
[elegant noblewoman: I am indeed a bit older. As for my cultivation, it's really not worth mentioning. My talent is relatively ordinary, so I indeed read a bit slower.]
Just then, the fiery-tempered Huo Wu asked a question that all newcomers cared about.
[Blazing Rose (Huo Wu): I want to ask, do the people in this chat group know each other's identities?]
[Blazing Rose: Or does everyone not know who the others are?]
This question was crucial. If identities were known, then one would have to be careful when speaking.
At this time, Ning Rongrong, who loved to stir up trouble, had a mischievous smile on her face...
