Chapter 1236: Chapter 1231: The Heavenly Mountain
[Year 930]
[The Human Race engaged in a massive, brutal war with the Demon Race and the Wu Tribe. The Human Race achieved a great victory, and the world prospered immensely.]
[Your descendant Li Xinri violently broke through to the peak of the Divinity Transformation realm relying on the Great Sun Sacred Fire Scripture.]
[Although Li Xinri was a notorious playboy, he was always incredibly good at currying favor and flattering.
In the Heavenly Fire Dao Field, he successfully won Li Yaotie’s favor and joyfully received Tier-4 ‘Heavenly Fire’, which Li Yaotie had condensed using his Dao method over decades.]
[His Physique was vastly enhanced, and his Primordial Spirit experienced a massive, explosive surge in power.]
[Acquired Trait: Fire Ancestor’s Blessing]
[Comprehension of Fire-attribute cultivation methods and techniques increases by 30%.]
Originating from the freezing Northern Frontier, Li Xinri possessed a sharp Metal Spiritual Root but miraculously received the profound blessing of Heavenly Fire.
Having been in Azure Cloud Prefecture for many peaceful years, this playboy couldn’t act like a playboy in the slightest.
Absolutely no one in Azure Cloud Prefecture spoiled him.
If he did anything remotely wrong, a complaint letter would be sent straight to the Underworld, and the terrifying High Ancestor would crawl out of the Underworld to personally drag him down there to experience what it truly meant to “see a ghost.”
“I want to return to the Northern Frontier! You’re all bullying me while my precious daughter is in seclusion. I’m going back to the Northern Frontier.”
The kid dramatically left behind a letter and cowardly ran away from Azure Cloud Prefecture overnight.
Now, having been gone for two entire months, that letter was just gathering dust in his room… That’s right, absolutely no one even noticed he had run away.
“Hehe, now that I’ve successfully run away, Dad, First Mother, Xinjue, the Old Ancestor, and the rest of the clansmen must be deeply worried sick.”
Reaching the breezy top of a high mountain, Li Xinri spread his arms and breathed in the fresh air, feeling a profound, intoxicating sense of freedom.
Over the past few intense years, the iceberg of their lineage was completely filled with manic children and clansmen heading to the Silver Moon lineage to cultivate.
With the abundant spiritual liquid, the family members cultivated as if their very lives depended on it.
Every single day on the iceberg, the deafening sound of spiritual energy violently clashing echoed ceaselessly from the arenas.
Out here, it was truly, blissfully peaceful and quiet.
Li Xinri glanced casually toward the north. This was the Central Plains; passing the grand Imperial Capital and following a merchant’s spirit boat, he could easily reach the Northern Frontier in a month.
However, he just let out a disdainful scoff and ultimately did not head toward the Northern Frontier.
He then looked deeply toward the west. Even from a great distance, he could see the ominous clouds and mist in the west glowing somewhat sickly red.
Li Xinri muttered, “The Western Frontier is rapidly expanding. In a little over two hundred years, it will reach our Azure Cloud Prefecture. Is the entire family cultivating like mad just to deal with them?”
Over the past dozen years, very few people in the family had children. Li Xinri initially thought the foul-mouthed Li Xinjue was a bad influence.
Upon asking, that kid Li Xinjue had replied with a deeply gloomy face: there is absolutely no future beneath the Blood Moon; unless they themselves had lost all hope, who would cruelly bring a child into a world of pure despair and madness?
The elders of the family had already allowed some clansmen to move away, so they could enjoy a lifetime of worldly wealth and glory elsewhere, but very few actually left.
Li Xinri gradually sensed that something was terrifyingly extraordinary about this.
“The Old Ancestor has been to the terrifying Western Frontier, coming and going as if there was absolutely no one there.
We even killed Uncle Rain. If it were just one Min Tiange, the family wouldn’t be this absurdly cautious.
Furthermore, there’s Ancestor Lan. That old geezer hides his profound depth incredibly well. With the supreme Dao Ancestor inheritance, he’s at least at the Mahayana realm.
With such a terrifying existence around, everyone in our family, from top to bottom, is still absolutely terrified, treating it as a matter of imminent life and death.”
Everyone in Azure Cloud Prefecture said Li Xinri lacked ambition, but this person supposedly lacking ambition was already at the absolute peak of the Divinity Transformation realm.
Xinri gazed intently west, his eyes as fierce and cold.
“The Human Emperor isn’t dead, yet the terrifying Dao Seeds of the Western Frontier have brazenly appeared and dare to act so recklessly.
The Empress sits by and watches, fully intending to support Min Tiange. Heh, I think the Empress has also suffered at the hands of the immortals.”
“It will take exactly three hundred years for the Blood Moon of the Western Frontier to reach Azure Cloud Prefecture, which coincides exactly with the Human Emperor’s time of death.
There’s a lot of deeply bizarre stuff going on here.”
“It’s about time I truly protected my daughter.”
Ten days later, Greenpeak Prefecture in the Central Plains.
On a massive immortal mountain shrouded in ethereal immortal qi, elegant cranes could be seen effortlessly carrying people.
Majestic divine dragons, rarely ever seen back home, were actually leisurely winding around above the mountain gates, presenting an extraordinarily profound immortal atmosphere.
Beneath the grand mountain gate stood respectful Daoist children, and the ancient stone stele emanated the terrifying aura of a mighty figure.
The Heavenly Mountain.
“The Heavenly Mountain’s profound inheritance spans over a hundred thousand years, almost the exact same age as the Imperial Dynasty itself.
Being at the peak of the Divinity Transformation realm at my incredibly young age, I will definitely be treated as a peerless talent if I cultivate here.
I’ll make some useful fair-weather friends, and when the terrifying time of crisis comes, and my martial brothers violently suffer, the mighty experts of the Heavenly Mountain will have absolutely no choice but to lend us a hand. Wouldn’t that beautifully resolve the crisis? Hahaha!”
At this brilliant thought, Li Xinri let out a deeply sinister smile.
With his hands confidently behind his back, he arrogantly walked up the Heavenly Mountain.
Seeing the two vigilant gatekeeping Daoist children, he smiled faintly,
“I am the great Li Xinri of Azure Cloud Prefecture, at the absolute peak of the Divinity Transformation realm. Since this is the renowned Heavenly Mountain, you must surely be lacking a peerless talent like me…”
Half an hour later.
Inside the dark, damp dungeon where the Heavenly Mountain imprisoned cultivators.
A thoroughly speechless Li Xinri firmly gripped the cold iron bars, desperately squeezing his face into the narrow gap.
Outside stood the stern elder who had captured Li Xinri, along with the two Daoist children who wore deeply solemn expressions.
“Reporting to the Elder, this person’s movements were incredibly suspicious. Coming to our sacred mountain gate and immediately demanding to be our disciple, he must definitely be a spy.”
“Exactly. The Imperial Dynasty has been deeply wary of our Heavenly Mountain for years. We’ve seen these exact dirty tactics before. Trying this childish trick again now is simply laughable.”
“This person looks exactly like a thief. This disciple was miraculously born with the ability to read minds and can clearly sense his wicked intentions; he is entirely full of scheming thoughts.
This disciple strongly proposes completely crippling his cultivation and sending him to the back mountain to mine.”
“One single look is enough to tell he’s absolutely not a good person.”
“…”
Li Xinri’s face was completely, utterly silent. Listening to the vicious slander outside, the corners of his mouth twitched, curling up slightly.
In the past, High Ancestor Yunlin comprehended the Dao at the Cliff of Reflection. He, Li Xinri, had finally managed to catch up to the High Ancestor’s glorious footsteps.
He suddenly made a loud commotion, drawing the irritated attention of the three people outside the cell.
“Could I trouble the three of you to send a letter to the Azure Cloud Li Clan, and tell my daughter that her dad has finally made something of himself.”
