In the next few days, Su Chen stayed by Su Xiaoyao's side 24/7 and taught her the Innate Origin Technique.
Because Su Chen had never cultivated before, he had to be extra careful when teaching Su Xiaoyao. Every step had to be carefully considered to avoid any mistakes.
However, Su Xiaoyao was very supportive. When cultivating the Innate Origin Technique, her attitude was very proper and she didn't give Su Chen any problems.
Her comprehension and learning ability also refreshed Su Chen's judgment time and time again. She was simply invincible, as if nothing could stump her.
For several days, the father and daughter didn't leave the house. One was immersed in the joy of being a teacher, while the other was quietly cultivating.
It wasn't until Meng Die aggressively barged in that Su Chen realized that the day to go to the Northern Desert had arrived.
"Pack your things and prepare to leave." Meng Die said unhappily.
"Do you want to bring Xiao Yao along too?" Su Chen asked.
"What else?
Are you willing to leave her alone at home? "
Cough cough …
He was indeed worried.
Knowing that they were going out, Su Xiaoyao was very happy. Although she had been very obedient when cultivating these few days, she was still a child and loved to play. She was always cooped up at home. Although she didn't say it, she still wanted to go out and play.
Su Chen quickly packed his things. Actually, he didn't need to bring anything when going out, but considering Su Xiaoyao, he still prepared some child's daily necessities. After all, she was a girl and had to be raised like a little princess. How could she be like a rough man and treat everything as a blanket? In terms of daily life, even if it was a long trip, she had to be more exquisite.
"Do you really think of yourself as a stay-at-home dad?"
Meng Die's tone had an inexplicable trace of bitterness.
Su Chen laughed awkwardly.
"Let me give you a word of advice. Don't fall too deep. No matter what this girl's background is, she's not someone you can control. Sooner or later, she'll leave you."
"We'll see when the time comes …"
"You're too soft-hearted."
"Nonsense, I'm hard."

Soul Hall.
The team of soul masters heading to the Great Northern Desert for investigation had already been assembled.
Other than Su Chen and Su Xiaoyao, there were nine other ninth-grade Longevity Tribulation soul masters.
The most eye-catching one was Wu Cong, who was riding on the Thorny Bull.
Fine, fine, fine, I know you subdued a Heaven Ascension soul beast and you're very powerful, but your Thorny Bull is covered in thorns, is it suitable to be used as a mount? Aren't you afraid of wind leaking out from your butt?
In order to act tough, he had really gone all out.
"Holy Son."
Hua Qian, Cai Jing, and Liu An came forward. They had also signed up for this investigation mission.
There were also five other soul masters that Su Chen didn't know the names of. They seemed to be from Wu Cong's camp.
In addition, there was also a tall and handsome man wearing a black cloak.
"Who is this person?"
"Fang Ru, the owner of the Death Scripture, the saint soul artifact. I've mentioned him to you before."
Su Chen nodded.
Fang Ru came from the Great Northern Desert. Now that something had happened in the desert, it was reasonable for him to want to go back.
This trip to the desert was bound to be dangerous. The Soul Hall couldn't send ten elite soul masters to die for nothing. In addition to Su Chen and the others, there were three soul grandmasters in charge of leading the team.
Meng Die, Ka Lun, and Xue Bin.
With these three leading the team, it was enough to ensure their safety.
"There's no time to lose. Let's set off now."
Xue Bin said. In the Soul Hall, other than chief disciple Yu Shi, his overall strength was the strongest. Like Meng Die, he was also a Heaven Pillar.
Of the three Heaven Pillar Saints of the Soul Hall, other than chief disciple Yu Shi, Meng Die and Xue Bin were going to the desert. It could be seen how much importance the Soul Hall attached to the desert.
Chief disciple Yu Shi had mentioned the desert before, but he didn't explain in detail. It was very likely that the seriousness of the situation was beyond expectations.
After saying that, Xue Bin's soul power suddenly erupted. Turbulent waves suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea. A huge steel disk with a diameter of over two hundred meters floated out of the sea and flew above the Soul Hall.
Seeing Su Chen's astonished expression, Hua Qian explained, "This is the Star Disk, Soul Master Xue Bin's saint soul artifact. Its main purpose is to observe the stars and search for spirit waves in the outer realm. Although Soul Master Xue Bin is old now, when he was young, he was a famous space trader. He went to at least a hundred outer realm stars and plundered countless tombs."
So powerful!
Everyone followed Xue Bin and flew onto the Star Disk.
It was indeed a huge compass. The surface of the compass was covered with a large number of star symbols and various star diagrams. The structure was extremely exquisite, and no one dared to rashly step on it for fear of damaging it.
Of course, Su Chen wasn't worried about himself. He was afraid that Su Xiaoyao wouldn't be able to control her strength. If she damaged the Star Disk, Su Chen wouldn't be able to pay for it.
To prevent this from happening, Su Chen immediately hugged Su Xiaoyao as soon as they landed on the Star Disk. He was determined not to let her touch the ground.
Buzz …
Layers of mysterious halos suddenly erupted from the Star Disk and began to move northward.
The Star Disk was moving very quickly. It was so fast that the surrounding scenery was constantly receding, gradually turning into streaks of light and shadow. Everything around them began to blur.
It was hard to imagine what kind of speed it was.
"The journey to the northern desert is at least eighty million kilometers. Even with the Star Disk's speed, it'll take two or three days to reach it."
"So far?" Su Chen was slightly stunned. The journey from the Exquisite Spirit Sect to the Soul Hall was only fifteen million kilometers.
"So the desert is north of the Spirit Mountain and the Tranquil Province?
How far is it from the Spirit Mountain? "Su Chen asked.
Hua Qian was slightly taken aback. "The Spirit Mountain is too far. Even with the Star Disk's speed, it'll probably take several years to reach it."
Su Chen was a little dumbfounded.
The Star Disk's speed was about fifteen million kilometers in a day. At this speed, it would take several years to reach the Spirit Mountain. This distance …
Was this a joke?
If that was the case, then how enormous would the spiritual mountain beneath their feet be?
Su Chen knew that the Spirit Mountain and the Tranquil Province would be very large, but this was still a little too big. This was not the size of a planet. Even a star was not this big.
According to Su Chen's understanding of basic physics, the larger the size of a planet, the greater its mass, and the greater the gravitational force at its core. When a planet reached a certain size, it would become a scorching star under the force of gravity. If it were any larger, even light would not be able to escape the shackles of gravity, and it would collapse into a black hole.
However, the size of the Spirit Mountain and the Tranquil Province completely defied basic physics.
Well, in a cultivation world full of Saints, using basic physics to measure this world was indeed a little like showing one's slight skill before an expert.
But … Su Chen still felt that this was too big!
"How big is the Tranquil Province?" Su Chen asked seriously.
Hua Qian also answered seriously, "The Tranquil Province of the Spirit Mountain is not a planet to be exact, but a huge mountain floating in the center of the universe. This mountain is the Spirit Mountain's main body. It can be said that we all live in the Spirit Mountain, but we are at the foot of the mountain. As for how big the Spirit Mountain is, I really don't know. Without reaching the peak of the Spirit Mountain, there is no way to see the entire Spirit Mountain. I don't have that hope, but Holy Son, you will definitely have a chance to climb the Spirit Mountain in the future."
