Fairy Bai hesitated for a moment, then said to Zhao Qingguang, "What you need to do is to find out exactly what power it was that appeared in my Duravia Trade Prefecture that day.
We must be on guard against them. Beyond that, as for this entire Duravia Trade Prefecture, I want you to expand our Immortal Domain as much as possible."
"Expand the Immortal Domain?" Zhao Qingguang was stunned for a moment.
"Old Ancestor, fifteen years have passed, and our Immortal Domain has already saved tens of millions of common people. They are reproducing extremely quickly. I'm afraid our Spirit Stones and resources..."
"My Zhao Clan is a family of great merit and virtue. Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life; we should shelter as many common people as our power allows."
Fairy Bai let out a cold snort. "The common people are our foundation. The ancestral teachings state this, and we must also act according to this principle."
"Yes!"
Seeing Zhao Qingguang's grave expression, Fairy Bai softened her tone, "Qingguang, just do it to the best of your ability. Also, our Zhao Clan members have them reproduce more as well."
"You don't know, this Duravia Trade Prefecture is actually our Zhao Clan's former ancestral land.
The name 'Immortal Zhao Clan' came from this very place.
The Old Ancestor's spirit in heaven, if he could see my Zhao Clan's descendants spread throughout Eternal Sun Prefecture, would surely be incomparably gratified."
A hint of solemnity appeared on Zhao Qingguang's expression. "Yes, Old Ancestor. Qingguang will bear it in mind!"
As Fairy Bai departed, Zhao Qingguang took a deep breath.
He had not forgotten for a single moment how that insolent brat, Li Xinghuo, had publicly humiliated him fifteen years ago.
A flash of hatred passed through his eyes. Zhao Qingguang murmured, "Eight hundred years of Eternal Sun Prefecture, eight hundred years of the Immortal Domain..."
"Li Xinghuo, I will let you and your arrogant family enjoy your impunity for now. When the time comes, I will hunt you to the ends of the earth. I will surely kill you!"
...
[Year 522]
[Congratulations! Your descendant, Li Kuangren, has consumed the family's 'Primal Origin Blood Fruit' and awakened a bloodline—the Golden Ape Bloodline.]
[In ancient times, humans lived alongside demon beasts and the Wu Clan.
Humans and apes interbred, creating a different lineage that became the body of the Golden Ape. The Golden Ape is the king of ape-demons, born upon a throne.]
[Acquired Innate Art: Golden Ape King's Might.
Those at the same realm, when under the King's Might, will have their spiritual power suppressed by ten to twenty percent. Consumes a massive amount of spiritual power.]
[Physical strength increased by 20%, spiritual power intensity increased by 10%.]
At this moment, high above the Eternal Sun Prefecture, numerous cultivators were gathered, gazing up at the place above Solaria City where the thunder tribulation was condensing.
The heavenly might rolled, yet Li Kuangren was seen standing atop his Dharma Body, which had transformed into a throne.
The former iron throne was now indeed shining with a brilliant golden light.
Upon its backrest was a savage ape head, and the ape's two hands were tightly gripping the left and right sides of the throne.
As Li Kuangren sat down upon the Golden Ape Throne, the expressions of everyone present changed. All of them felt a wave of oppressive might.
"An ancient bloodline!"
At this moment, even one as strong as the Martial Emperor had his expression change.
This little old man was also a person of vast knowledge and experience. He said in a deep voice,
"In the ancient period, it is rumored that humans and various races lived together in peace.
At that time, the Human Race's greatest advantage was being able to borrow the bloodlines of other races for their own use.
But as for the Human Race of today, although their bloodline has many impurities, there are still those who awaken powerful bloodlines.
This Golden Ape is absolutely one of the most outstanding among them."
Hearing the Martial Emperor's cry of alarm, the surrounding people looked at Li Kuangren with even greater envy.
Everyone was congratulating the numerous clansmen of the Li family.
Li Yunbing and Li Yunlin exchanged a glance. Then, they both glanced over at Li Xinnian, who was silent off to the side, and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile.
Kuangren's bloodline was inferior to Xinnian's Saint Spirit Bloodline.
Besides... with the Old Tree around, sooner or later, they would also possess their own bloodlines!
[Your descendant, Li Kuangren, using the power of the Blood Fruit, has broken through to the fifth-tier Divinity Transformation!]
[Obtained Domain: King's Might. Within the oppressive might, those at the same realm are suppressed by ten percent of their strength. No spiritual power consumption.]
"Holy shit..."
Li Wei, who was currently traversing the sea of stars, had just taken a bite of a chicken leg Yuexian had packed for him when he cried out in alarm, "If these two are used together, wouldn't it suppress a Nascent Soul cultivator down to a mortal?"
[Your descendant, Li Kuangren, has obtained a Heaven-bestowed Primordial Spirit Technique: Golden Ape King]
[Transform into the Golden Ape King]
Looking at the short description for Li Kuangren's Heaven-bestowed Primordial Spirit Technique, Li Wei scratched his head.
Based on experience, the fewer the words, the more badass it was.
Although Li Kuangren was very strong and well-prepared, Li Wei still had to use [Shine, Old Ancestor!] once to save him.
"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for saving Kuangren!" Amidst the thunder, Li Kuangren bowed in worship toward the spirit tablet.
But at this moment, Li Wei could no longer pay attention to Li Kuangren. This year's surprise wasn't just Li Kuangren's breakthrough; there was also an unexpected joy...
[Congratulations! Your descendant, Li Xinghuo, has a concubine named 'Jin Qiaoqiao', who has given birth to a son for your family.]
In the wind and snow of the Northern Border. Surrounding a huge courtyard was a dense black mass of Northern Border troops.
If one didn't know better, they would have thought some great battle had taken place here.
But who would have thought the scene inside was one of bizarre, harmonious joy.
Grand Tutor Lin Jiu was holding an infant in his arms, rocking it.
The wind blew aside the beaded curtain of the delivery room, revealing the pale, pretty face of the woman, who was deficient in blood and qi after childbirth.
In the distance, Li Xinghuo just stared at the child in the Grand Tutor's arms, his expression complicated.
"If it were my clan's elders watching my child be born, and if the ones surrounding us weren't soldiers, but my clansmen—what a wonderful thing that would be?"
Suddenly, Li Xinghuo sensed the spirit tablet in his robes light up, and his dejected expression finally flashed with a trace of warmth.
In the end, it was still the Old Ancestor accompanying him to welcome the newborn's arrival.
