Daily life of a cultivation judge

Chapter 1217: His will (2)

Xia Cangfu sighed, then answered,”It was what he wanted, and no one could dissuade him. Though he didn’t leave out of guilt, like many in our clan believed.”

“Then why did he?”

Xia Cangfu smiled wryly before responding.”Like I said, our ancestor’s passion for cultivation arts stood out, even in a place like this,” he continued.

“When he lost his cultivation base, instead of feeling dejected, he was excited.”

“Excited?” Yang Qing asked, raising a brow at the statement. Who would be excited about losing their cultivation base?

“To him, it was an opportunity to see the world through a different lens. He once said there are truths and secrets that perhaps only those who have shattered their core can glimpse and he was thrilled at the thought of excavating those mysteries.

So he requested permission from the sect to leave. To him, he wasn’t leaving but was simply going on a research excursion.

Everything he did after that, including founding the Xia Clan, was done to satisfy that curiosity. He may have lost his cultivation base, but even without it, he lived his fullest life and magnificently at that,” Xia Cangfu said, his expression full of admiration and quiet praise.

“That said,” he added after a pause, “as I mentioned earlier, his twin sister’s life and death left a deep mark on him. It influenced many of his habits and choices, especially when it came to his descendants.”
