[Special Event—Location of the Three Corpses]
[Through Su Chen, your Family has learned the location of the Three Corpses of Lingtian.
Given the immense power of the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems and the Grand Tower, Family Head Li Xinnian has chosen to monitor the situation in secret, waiting for a definitive opportunity before formulating a plan.]
Li Wei had been constantly watching Li Xinnian and Nangong Qingya's secret discussion.
Seeing that Li Xinnian had no intention of acting rashly, Li Wei nodded slightly.
The Li Clan still had a long road ahead.
With Fei Heng currently holding power in the court, and the family's Cave Abodes scattered everywhere gathering and exchanging resources, added to the "Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique," there was truly no need to fight against the rest of the world.
For now, they should prioritize the true essence of the word "Low Profile"—to lay low and survive.
Exiting the Ancestral Space, he arrived at the Family Treasury, a heavily guarded restricted area watched over by Li Yaoqing and Li Yaotie.
The interior was filled with resources!
Dalong, the various Cave Abodes, Su Chen, the Wu Clan battlefield...
Every year, treasures were constantly being sent back from all these locations.
The family descendants were all cultivating with all their might.
Li Zhiheng, possessing the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart, was growing stronger with each passing year; both he and the descendants practicing the Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique were making rapid progress.
"Amass combat power. When the time comes, if the Three Corpses are still there, that is when we will fight for them!"
After transmitting the command to "cultivate with peace of mind" to all his descendants, Li Wei sat down cross-legged.
Black light from the Nether Eyes shimmered in his gaze.
He saw everything before him transforming—it was the Void Refining Dimension!
However, his Extreme Cold Dimension, derived from the Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique, was slowly changing.
The space gradually turned pitch black, and a Yin-Yang Fish Diagram slowly formed on the ground.
A black carp and a white carp were leaping about; these two carp had grown long whiskers, and a pair of fleshy horns was emerging on their heads.
They had even sprouted two legs, looking like grown pollywogs.
Above this space, a great gate was visible.
The mutated carp leapt continuously, attempting to jump over that great gate adorned with the Yin-Yang pattern.
In all directions of the dimension, there were pitch-black mirrored surfaces.
When a black carp leapt into one mirror, it instantaneously appeared on another mirror surface several miles away.
"Once the Realm of Shattering Void is formed, I will be a true Void Refining cultivator!"
Li Wei was thrilled.
The more he grasped the power of Space, the more he could feel its immense magnitude—so powerful that he suspected he could instantly kill a Void Refining expert at the level of the Martial Emperor.
...
Time flies like an arrow for cultivators.
[Year 720]
[Your descendant Li Yaotie has reached the Void Refining realm.
His artifact crafting speed is increasing; he can complete the 'Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique' in thirty years.]
[Broken through to Grade 4 Artifact Refiner.
Crafting capabilities: 10% chance to craft High-Grade Dharma Treasures, 50% chance for Medium-Grade Dharma Treasures.
In the event of failure, the original Dharma Treasure's rank may drop, or it may be destroyed.]
[Over the years, he has crafted two Medium-Grade Dharma Treasures, the 'Li Clan Treasure Armor,' and gifted them to his mother and eldest brother.]
Looking at those two suits of armor, Li Wei was speechless, holding back a retort.
Xu Cuihua's treasure armor possessed the Rule traits of "Transformation" and "Lightness," and it also carried a "Dragon Roar" Primordial Spirit technique.
Li Yaozu's treasure armor featured "Void Break," allowing for short-range teleportation, as well as "Spirit Shock," a Rule Power capable of sending an enemy's Divine Soul into a trance.
Inscribed upon the armor were the words "Li Yaotie's Mom" and "Li Yaotie's Older Brother", and the characters were huge.
Even after hundreds of years, this brat still hadn't kicked the bad habit of his "Fate-Based Crafting Method."
He would just melt all the crafting materials together in one go, as long as their attributes didn't clash.
It was fortunate that the clan had so many members, so whatever he made would fit someone; however, asking him to craft an item for a specific person... was not easy.
[Your descendant Li Zhiheng has broken through to the Fifth-Tier of Divinity Transformation, obtaining the Domain: Ethereal Realm.
With a heart like still water, within this realm, he is not suppressed by the Rule Spiritual Power of others, nor is his Heart-Soul affected by techniques.]
[Obtained Heaven-Bestowed Technique: Dao Realm.
He can use Primordial Spirit techniques to simulate various Rule Dao Realms for cultivation purposes, allowing disciples to train within them.]
At this moment, inside the Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven, dozens of family disciples were sitting cross-legged.
Dressed in Daoist robes, Li Zhiheng sat in meditation atop the central Eight Trigrams Formation Chart.
The family disciples had their eyes closed, yet they were already within Li Zhiheng's Primordial Spirit technique and the Domain: Ethereal Realm, gaining insights into Rule Power.
Every year, descendants of the Li Clan from all over the world would travel here.
Whenever they walked out of the Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven, even the dullest descendant would have gained something.
The Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven of the Immortal Martial Lineage had already become a Holy Land of Cultivation for the Li Clan.
.....
This year.
Above the boundless desert of the Forgotten Immortal Lands.
"...."
Li Yaozu, travel-worn and covered in dust, carried his sword case on his back.
He stared numbly ahead. "They got away again."
It had been over twenty years since he came to exterminate the Tang Family.
During the war with the Immortal Zhao Clan, he had suffered defeat after defeat, frequently being instantly killed.
Now was supposed to be the time he destroyed the Tang Family to salvage his dignity.
Yet, who could have known that while the Tang Family lacked skill in everything else, their ability to flee was unmatched.
Their Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land turned out to be a bird; the moment it sensed an enemy entering its territory, the bird would take flight in a panic.
The Tang Family had not been exterminated; on the contrary, quite a few other factions in the Forgotten Immortal Lands, whose criminal evidence had been discovered, were wiped out instead.
"Call for backup, A-Zu. Ask the Old Ancestor to come out. He possesses insight into the power of Space; surely the Tang family would have nowhere to run before him."
Inside the sword case, Fang Linglong sighed.
Over the years, more and more swords had been seized and stored in the sword case.
Following Li Yaozu gave her not a single day of peace; whenever the chase was on, the sound of clang, clang, clang would ring out inside the case—the sound of swords colliding.
Now, the moment she closed her eyes, that noise would return.
She never imagined that she would be the one suffering the most torture in this campaign.
"No!" Li Yaozu gritted his teeth. "I must avenge the younger generation!"
"...."
The revenge part was a lie.
Fang Linglong had figured it out: after the battle in the Longevity Domain, A-Zu had finally found an "easy target" to squeeze.
He wouldn't rest until he had regained his face.
With this pursuit underway, every Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land in the Forgotten Immortal Lands shut its doors tight.
Cultivators dared not step outside, for the world outside seemed filled with nothing but A-Zu...
[Your descendant Li Yaozu is gradually comprehending the 'Certain Kill' Sword Intent.]
