Inside the Ancestor Space.
Li Wei clasped his hands together, resting his chin on them.
He had already witnessed the strength his descendants had gained over the past century!
While the family was preparing the "Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique" and he was rushing about in the Star Domain, his descendants had grown to a level that he couldn't help but find gratifying.
Yaotie still had that carefree, brash manner.
Although over a hundred years had passed and his skin had darkened so much that he almost looked like a different person, Li Wei had seen the scene of Yaotie brutalizing Zhao Hongchang.
It could be said that he was even stronger than Changsheng!
[Your descendant, Li Yaotie, has forged for a century, constantly using spiritual power and "Primal True Fire" to rapidly digest years of accumulation.
Forging day and night with ceaseless output of spiritual power, he has acquired the trait: Extreme Output. Spiritual power increased by 30%.]
[The "Unorthodox Artifact Body," after years of tempering beneath the Heavenly Fire Divine Tree, has reached a new level, breaking through to the realm of a Mid-Grade Dharma Treasure.
The number of Dharma Treasures he can manipulate has increased.]
[Your descendant, after years of utilizing "Primal True Fire," has gradually mastered the essence of true fire. His comprehension of the "Primal Fire Hammer" technique has improved.
After devouring the "Earth Fire" born from the Heavenly Fire Divine Tree, he has created an Earth-rank technique: Primal Lava Hammer!]
[Under the Primal Lava Hammer, refining fire transforms into lava, capable of unleashing 20% of the Heavenly Fire Divine Tree's Rule power.]
The Heavenly Fire Divine Tree is a Rank 4 Spirit Object, and its flames can temper Dharma Treasures.
Although Li Yaotie can only unleash a single hammer strike with all his spiritual power, it is indeed 20% of the Rule spiritual power of the Void Refining realm!
Furthermore, after years of cultivation, Li Yaotie has already reached the limit of the Divinity Transformation realm, a level equal to that of Zhao Hongchang.
And as for Li Yaoqing.
Yaoqing had far more leisure time than Yaotie.
After refining the soul of the first Void Refining Old Daoist into an artifact spirit, she could basically complete a Void Refining vessel every twenty years.
[Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, has absorbed a massive amount of essence energy and personally tested all miraculous elixirs and spirit medicines, resulting in boundless spiritual power.
Obtained Postnatal Physique: Medicine Spirit Body.
Speed of absorbing pills and spirit medicines increased by 50%; effectiveness and extent of absorption increased by 50%.]
[Her spiritual power has reached the requirement to use the fifth layer of Heaven's Wrath Wood and Plant Divine Art.
Obtained Earth-rank Technique: Wood Spirit Condemnation.]
[The spirits of the heaven and earth's vegetation enter the body; the spiritual power of heaven and earth becomes indestructible.
It allows vegetation techniques to enter the body and transform into a small world, granting more power, recovery ability, and spiritual power.]
Even now, despite Li Yaowen's clones investigating on her behalf, they haven't found the origin of this Divine Art.
Yet, this divine art is the single most powerful technique among the Li family's techniques.
After breaking through to the Divinity Transformation realm, Yaoqing learned the Wood Spirit Condemnation.
This technique had reached its limit, yet even the strongest technique has its restrictions.
That restriction was that Li Yaoqing's body could not integrate the technique bestowed upon her by the heavens and earth at all.
The "Mountain God" technique alone was already powerful enough; after all, back at Prince Qian's Mansion, it was a presence that held back ten thousand cultivators in a single direction.
More than a hundred years have passed. Her body can finally contain the "Mountain God"—she herself is the Mountain God!
As for Li Yaowen among the second generation of descendants...
She remained the same as ever.
First-tier Divinity Transformation, Spirit Body, Fate Art.
It could be said that this little girl floating in the air could be called the weakest existence within the Divinity Transformation realm.
Any random Divinity Transformation cultivator could easily torture and kill Li Yaowen.
But in reality...
[Your descendant, Li Yaowen, through the use of the Reincarnation Method over the years, possesses: 306 Reincarnated Bodies.]
[Through years of ceaseless reincarnation, she has inhabited infant bodies and taught techniques to tender babies.
Occasionally, upon encountering a reincarnated body with extraordinary aptitude, she lingers longer, witnessing the myriad states of life and observing the joys and sorrows of the human world.
Obtained Trait: Observer of the World.]
[By observing worldly affairs, every reincarnated body can gain an increase in all future attributes ranging from 0% to 10%.
Her comprehension constantly improves, as does her ability to understand Rules.]
Even Li Wei dared not imagine where Li Yaowen's limits lay.
But this was not necessarily a good thing. Yaowen rarely offered strategies or plans for the family anymore.
It wasn't because she was lazy, nor because she didn't care. Rather, everything in this world comes with a price.
Yaowen's price was that her mind was filled with the lives of various people—some so painful they were beyond words.
At the same time, the family benefited as a result.
[Your descendant Li Yaowen's reincarnated bodies are gradually growing, bringing back a massive amount of Profound-rank cultivation methods, and techniques...]
[Your family's "Dao Transmission Secret Stele" is currently recording a massive amount of techniques and cultivation methods.]
The clansmen were gradually approaching the Immortal Domain.
"In this chaotic world, one must advance or perish."
Li Wei's figure gradually appeared beside his second-generation descendants.
In the distance, Li Tianyi, Li Tianming, Li Tianqi, Li Kuangren, Li Kuanghua, and other descendants who had weathered great calamities alongside the family time and again were approaching.
Their gazes were calm, containing neither sorrow nor joy; they simply charged forward in silence, killing as they went.
Starting from the generation of children like Li Xinnian, the Immortal Martial Li Family, under the leadership of Li Zhiheng, marched through the snow with blades in hand.
A fox shadow flew in from the sky, gradually transforming into a human form; it was Xu Cuihua.
Her enchanting fox eyes seemed capable of piercing through 500miles, gazing upon the children of the Immortal Martial branch.
Xu Cuihua let out a sigh. "The affairs of our generation have ultimately harmed the children, and they have harmed the three million commoners of Perennis Immortal City as well."
The elders of the Li family lowered their heads slightly.
Li Yaowen held her mother's arm.
Glancing toward the massive Zhao Clan, she spoke gently, "Mother, no one wanted these accidents to happen. No one can calculate the affairs of the world with perfect accuracy."
...
The Imperial Capital.
Li Yaozu had departed many days ago, and Min Youguo once again sat upon his high and lofty seat as the State Preceptor.
At this moment, he stepped into Crown Prince Sheng's manor.
Even if the Crown Prince was incompetent, Min Youguo held no authority to depose him.
However, now that the demon man's soul had been shattered, and Crown Prince Sheng had likely developed true feelings—or even if he hadn't, this matter would shatter his Dao Heart, leaving him unable to recover.
Sooner or later, he would become a sacrificial lamb.
"Greetings, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
Min Youguo spoke with a respectful tone, yet he pushed the Crown Prince's door open directly.
He saw Crown Prince Sheng sitting on the bed with a dull, vacant gaze.
Min Youguo frowned slightly and asked, "You knew Zhao Wan. Did Zhao Wan ever say anything to you?
Why is it that with hidden Immortal Clans appearing all over the world, the Immortal Zhao Clan insisted on going to the Duravia Trade Prefecture, only to gain nothing and end up in such a miserable state?"
Crown Prince Sheng seemed deaf to his words.
Min Youguo let out a long sigh, his brow furrowed in endless worry.
He recalled when Li Yaozu departed. He had clearly asked for Zhao Wan to be kept alive. Zhao Wan'er was indeed alive, but the soul was incomplete.
...
Meanwhile.
In an inconspicuous, secluded paradise, inside a thatched hut, there lay a world of its own, with bookshelves layered upon bookshelves.
A female cultivator was searching through this repository of books.
After reading for a long time, she opened an ancient tome that was worn from frequent reading.
[Peerless Hall...]
[Emberwing Guard...]
[Grand Preceptor, State Preceptor...]
[Immortal Zhao Clan, a massive power 160,000 years ago, possessing deep foundations... No Integration realm cultivators...]
The female cultivator murmured in confusion, "Why does the Main Body like to seek out these hidden Immortal Clans so much?
Is it that in a chaotic world, only by swallowing others can one rapidly strengthen oneself to deal with these hidden forces emerging into the world?"
"The Main Body is truly ambitious.
The Human Emperor is about to die; one must advance or perish.
Is the outside world really that chaotic?"
