Chapter 436: I Reckon It's Quite Reasonable for Juniors to Cause Trouble Carelessly Outside
Zhao Li pointed a finger, and in Gu Yuan's eyes, he could only see the finger enlarging, utterly unable to react in any way except for a look of panic.
Even though he saw it, his thoughts seemed imprisoned, moving extremely slowly, with no time to command his body to respond. This feeling filled him with extreme dread.
Seeing the small to understand the large, if Zhao Li had killing intent towards him, he feared just this one finger could shatter his soul. Gu Yuan had no doubt about this.
After a long while, he realized Zhao Li had only transmitted some information to him. His heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled, but he couldn't help but yearn for the Dou Di realm, sighing:
"Is this the Dou Di realm? It's truly so powerful it's despair-inducing..."
Only after truly feeling Zhao Li's terror did Gu Yuan realize that below Dou Di, everyone is an ant, and that wasn't just talk!
He could feel that it wouldn't be much harder for Zhao Li to crush him than it would be for him to crush an ant.
After Gu Yuan had digested the information he'd passed to him for a while, Zhao Li finally spoke:
"In terms of Cultivation Level, Dou Sect is the minimum requirement. It's best to choose those with good Talent and decent combat sense to go out. However, if anyone can't control themselves and makes a big mistake, they will need to pay for their actions."
What Zhao Li wanted the Gu Clan to do was actually similar to the mounts of the Heavenly Court immortals and Buddhas descending to the lower realm as demons during the Journey to the West. However, on the Dou Qi Continent, they couldn't rely solely on Magical Beasts. The descendants of these Ancient Factions were good candidates.
What they needed to do was occupy a territory, integrate the various forces within it, and become the local kings.
On one hand, this was to shatter the forces entrenched in various places, preparing for their eventual rebirth. Currently, the Dou Qi Continent had countless large and small forces. It had taken him decades just to integrate Great Li; to integrate the entire Continent, who knows how long it would take.
Secondly, he wanted to stimulate the Mortals, solidifying their Heart of Seeking the Dao. After all, hardships are the easiest way for people to grow. Zhao Li didn't mind giving them a lesson if the conditions were right.
Thirdly, he wanted them to play the villain, letting the people imparting scriptures play the hero, shifting the conflict. Even if Zhao Li's actions provoked the Major Powers, with these Major Powers bearing the brunt, it would be easier to implement. By then, all he would need to do is handle these Major Powers.
Gu Yuan heard Zhao Li's words and knew he was being upfront. After all, he understood the principle that profit moves hearts. If he allowed the Clan's descendants to go out and become kings and tyrants, they might forget their original mission and truly become local kings and bullies. At that time, even he wouldn't be able to protect them.
His heart tightened, and he guaranteed:
"Brother Zhao Li, rest assured, I will select suitable candidates from the Clan and instruct them well. If anyone truly acts recklessly, you won't need to intervene, I will personally kill them!"
Zhao Li was noncommittal. They discussed some more details and agreed on a Time for Giving a Sermon before he left the Ancient Realm. Of course, before leaving, he also conveniently inquired about the locations of the various Major Powers.
Gu Yuan stared blankly into The Void. When Zhao Li disappeared just now, he had absolutely no idea what Method he used to vanish silently right in front of him, a Half-Emperor.
He found that Zhao Li's Strength seemed to exceed the scope of his understanding. Even the Dou Di recorded in the Gu Clan's history seemed unable to perform the various techniques Zhao Li displayed so casually.
This feeling of the unknown made Gu Yuan very insecure. Even though Zhao Li was his partner, he still feared being silently eliminated by him.
This was the first time he had felt such unease. Even Xiao Xuan, who had suppressed him and Hun Tiandi a Thousand Years ago, while he admitted his inferiority, he didn't feel this sense of powerlessness when facing Zhao Li.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan unconsciously clenched his fists. After a long while, he slowly released them, but the thought of breaking through to Dou Di became even more resolute in his heart:
"Strength, ultimately, one must have Strength to have a say. Otherwise, even cooperation can only be done with trepidation."
Afterward, his figure disappeared from the Mountain Summit, already having gone to find that legendary Extraordinary Person, Gu Lie, who had offended a Dou Di and still lived. The Dou Di's methods were worth his serious consideration, worth his careful understanding and contemplation...
On the other side, after Zhao Li left, he planned to visit another Ancient Faction along the way, the Spirit Race!
He had already planned to involve all the Major Powers in the matter of Imparting Scriptures. On one hand, it was to utilize their Foundation, and on the other hand, on the Dou Qi Continent, the Bloodline of these Imperial Clans was easier to cultivate. He had already understood this when he saw the people of the Gu Clan.
The Dou Di Bloodline was actually something similar to a Plane Embryo. It was also a medium for communicating with the Origin of Heaven and Earth. It could make it easier for those who possessed it to perceive the Dao recorded by the Plane Embryo on the Continent.
In other words, for those with the Dou Di Bloodline, the richer their Bloodline Power and the higher its grade, the easier it was to sense the Dou Di's Path of Cultivation from their ancestors. That effect was actually like Ghost Possession. Although it wasn't a real ghost, it could indeed help one feel the cultivation methods of their predecessors.
Of course, to achieve Transcending to Saint, one couldn't rely solely on the Legacy of their predecessors. The effect of Bloodline Power became useless when Transcending to Saint. In fact, because they had relied heavily on Bloodline Power and taken shortcuts in their previous Cultivation, it was harder for them to achieve Transcending to Saint than for those who started from humble beginnings.
Cultivation is one's own Cultivation. "Learn from me and live, imitate me and die" is an eternal truth in Cultivation.
But no matter what, the existence of Bloodline Power was indeed like having a cheat compared to others. Coupled with the vast Quantity of Descendants in several families, the number of strong individuals born was not to be underestimated. Zhao Li would not exclude them from the Continent. Universal evolution, not one should be left behind.
Not long after, Zhao Li arrived at Holy Spirit City according to the location given by Gu Yuan.
Similar to Ancient Saint City, Holy Spirit City was also located in the wilderness at the center of a Mountain Range. While called a City, it was actually a transformed Mountain Peak, made of light green giant rocks. Under the erosion of Years, this City looked somewhat ancient, and an unusually ancient aura permeated from within the City.
"It's really strange. Except for the Soul Clan, all the other clans seem to be guarding a base. Are they afraid the Soul Clan won't find their old nests?"
Looking at the scene before him, Zhao Li couldn't help but think of the Stone Clan, the Gu Clan, and now the Spirit Race that he had visited. Moreover, judging from Xiao Xuan's breakthrough being ambushed by Hun Tiandi, the former Xiao Realm was likely similar.
After a moment, he shook his head with a light chuckle and walked into the City.
In the eyes of these Ancient Factions, he was a top-tier existence. Without a God's Perspective, who would have thought that the Soul Clan had such great capabilities?
Thinking this, he walked forward. Zhao Li didn't want another incident like the one at Ancient Saint City. He moved quickly, but was stopped at the Gate.
"Guest, please show your Entry Permit."
Like Ancient Saint City, Holy Spirit City was also one of the top Cultivation treasures compared to other places on the Continent. Therefore, ordinary people were not qualified to enter Holy Spirit City. Only those holding the Entry Permit issued by the Spirit Race on the Continent could enter the City.
Zhao didn't have an Entry Permit, but he had something else. He flipped his wrist, and a White Jade Pass appeared in his hand. He flicked his finger, sending it towards the Spirit Guard.
The Spirit Guard's expression changed drastically as the White Jade Pass landed in their hand!
