Sikou Yao smiled and bowed to Ancestor Hongjun, "Ancestor, you flatter me! If my cultivation base is gone, I can cultivate again, but I only have one father!"
A glint of admiration flickered in Ancestor Hongjun's eyes, "Good, let us begin, then! When I draw out all your merit and cultivation base shortly, it will be somewhat painful. You must endure it. Otherwise, if you falter, your loss will be immense."
Sikou Yao nodded vigorously, "Ancestor, I can endure it! Please cast your spell without worry!"
Ancestor Hongjun nodded and had her sit cross-legged on the cushion.
He then casually erected a transparent barrier, allowing Xiao Chifeng and Leng Qingjue to see his movements, yet not disturb his spellcasting.
Before starting the ritual, Ancestor Hongjun asked Sikou Yao once more, "Yaoyao, are you ready?"
Taking a deep breath, Sikou Yao smiled at Ancestor Hongjun, "Ancestor, I am ready."
"Very well, let us begin," he said.
