Chapter 1238: Chapter 1232: Sixth Sense
[Your descendant Li Xinri has just entered the cultivation world and was captured by the Heavenly Mountain as a spy.
Later, after the Heavenly Mountain sent a message to verify his identity, he was freed and acquired a new identity: Outer Sect Disciple of the Heavenly Mountain.]
[Three months into his stay at the Heavenly Mountain, an unknown cultivator within his cultivation Dao Field constantly teased him in secret using Dao methods.
Acquired Trait: Sixth Sense.]
[Having been targeted for centuries, and suffering daily for three months at the Heavenly Mountain, his sensitivity to danger increases by 20%.]
“The brat joined the Heavenly Mountain?”
Li Wei raised an eyebrow slightly at Li Yaoqing’s alchemy site and instantly manifested at the Heavenly Mountain.
This kid, Li Xinri, had run away from home. If it weren’t for the Heavenly Mountain sending a message, absolutely no one in the family would have known.
After all, Li Xinri loved digging holes and hiding himself like a mole; those who didn’t know better would think he was just playing hide-and-seek again.
Li Wei also knew a bit about the Heavenly Mountain.
It was an immortal mountain that appeared in Greenpeak Prefecture several centuries ago.
This hidden faction was incredibly mysterious.
The first time they made a name for themselves in the world was when one of their disciples was caught stealing from the imperial treasury in the Imperial Capital.
The sect’s ancestor, fiercely protective of his disciples, personally took a trip to the Imperial Capital.
Merely by releasing his divine sense, he openly walked into the Heavenly Prison and casually brought the person out.
Was there anyone the Department of Immortal Suppression hadn’t arrested? Yet, upon seeing this ancestor, they didn’t even dare to let out a fart.
The family had investigated a bit, only finding out that the Heavenly Mountain’s ancestor, Zhang Heng, was an ancient veteran who had fought against the Wu Tribe and Demon Race alongside Human Race experts back before the Imperial Dynasty was even founded.
No one knew exactly how terrifyingly formidable the Heavenly Mountain Ancestor Zhang Heng was.
They only knew that the Heavenly Mountain acted like shameless scoundrels.
Other places might listen to reason, but with them, if you hit their young, the old would come, and then the even older ones would come, in an endless stream.
Others treated people from the Heavenly Mountain like a plague—avoiding them as far away as possible.
“This kid Xinri really knows how to pick a spot.”
Li Wei waved his hand dismissively. Li Xinri was truly a playboy. Normally, cultivators hid themselves to cultivate out of deep fear, but his seniority in the family was high, and he was a clever little rascal.
He had Li Yaotie completely wrapped around his finger, so absolutely no one could discipline him.
Although the Heavenly Mountain had a notorious reputation, they were actually quite skilled at teaching.
As for the outer sect disciples of the Heavenly Mountain, they were not taught the Heavenly Mountain’s core secret methods, regardless of their cultivation realm.
Just as he was pondering this…
“Who is it? Which senior is teasing this junior? If this junior has done anything wrong, at least say something, Senior!”
Cultivating in the courtyard, Li Xinri suddenly transformed into a Golden Crow and leaped frantically up.
A vicious ice spike had just shot up from the exact spot where he had been sitting.
Arriving at the Heavenly Mountain, Li Xinri was no longer mischievous and acted quite politely.
It seemed he also understood the profound principle that when one is far from home, one must desperately temper their behavior.
Li Xinri couldn’t find the person teasing him from behind the scenes, but Li Wei could see perfectly clearly.
He shifted his shape and changed his shadow to track the source, but upon seeing the figures, he was completely bewildered.
“Huh?”
There were two people sitting at the peak of the Heavenly Mountain.
One was a child-like boy sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform. Although he had the body of a young child, he exuded a heavy aura of ancient age from head to toe.
If he guessed correctly, this was the Heavenly Mountain Ancestor, Zhang Heng.
The other person… was actually an old acquaintance of the Li family, the old sect master of the Skyveil Sect who had been missing for many years, Daoist Jiuyou!
“How could he be here?” Li Wei opened his mouth in sheer surprise.
Back when the Wu Tribe attacked, Daoist Jiuyou had gone to the Imperial Capital to seek reinforcements, but was severely injured and completely disappeared.
Later, the family had been searching for him continuously, and Li Yunlin had gone nearly mad looking everywhere.
The sect master of the Black Tortoise Sect was still deeply thinking of him on his deathbed.
Who would have thought that today, centuries later, they would find this wanderer far from home safely at the Heavenly Mountain.
“That’s not right. If he’s still alive, why hasn’t he gone to see Yunlin?” Li Wei frowned deeply.
Back when the Zhao Clan was around, a mysterious faction had brazenly stolen from every family and clan in the Duravia Trade Prefecture, and later these exact items were delivered to where Li Yunlin and Fairy Hongxiu were.
This penchant for stealing shared a striking resemblance to the outrageous act of robbing the imperial treasury.
Amidst this heavy doubt, he saw Zhang Heng casually wave his hand.
Through the mist before their eyes was the scene of Li Xinri cultivating diligently.
This casual move gave Li Wei a slight start. He could do it too, but to remotely tease a peak Divinity Transformation cultivator without showing any trace of his aura was something far beyond his current capabilities.
Seeing Li Xinri nervously sit back down, the Heavenly Mountain Ancestral Master Zhang Heng showed a flash of appreciation in his ancient eyes.
“Aside from being a bit mischievous, this child is quite moldable. In just three short months, he is already able to dodge my sneak attacks.”
“I didn’t expect a descendant of the Li Clan to end up studying at our Heavenly Mountain after all.”
Jiuyou Daoist sighed softly.
He used to only be at the Nascent Soul realm, but now he had reached the peak of the Divinity Transformation realm, Half-Step Void Refinement.
However, with an ancestral master like this around, considering his relatively ‘young’ age, this was quite a normal occurrence.
A trace of deep worry flashed through his eyes.
“The terrifying Blood Moon of the Western Frontier is coming to Azure Cloud Prefecture. I wonder how the Southern Frontier will cope.”
Zhang Heng smiled faintly.
“The people of the world have their own worldly affairs. The ancient land of Azure Cloud Prefecture has its terrifying disasters, but it also has its profound countermeasures.
It’s utterly useless for you to worry so much. We might as well focus purely on nurturing Li Xinri and plan carefully from there.”
“It’s just that it’s somewhat inappropriate for a living person like him to cultivate in our Heavenly Mountain,” Jiuyou smiled bitterly.
“It’s best not to let him find out. As long as he doesn’t enter the inner sect, with you here, Ancestral Master, he should be perfectly fine.”
The words ‘living person’ entered his ears. Li Wei fell completely silent for a long time.
Using the game’s observation method to look at the Heavenly Mountain, he slowly flew up into the sky, and subsequently remained speechless for a long time.
He finally seemed to understand exactly why Jiuyou Daoist hadn’t gone back to see Li Yunlin.
There were many bizarre things in the world, and the Heavenly Mountain was absolutely no less bizarre than the cursed Western Frontier.
This was a strange, desolate mountain with jagged rocks, mostly covered in overgrown weeds and thick moss.
At the peak sat the Heavenly Mountain Ancestral Master Zhang Heng, and halfway up the mountain, Li Xinri was cultivating cross-legged.
Within this massive mountain… were endless rows upon rows of silent graves.
In front of every single solitary grave, there were burning incense and flickering candles.
Suddenly, a deeply eerie wind blew.
The incense and candles in front of one of the graves flared up brightly, and yellow joss paper violently fell from the sky.
A translucent figure floated out from that grave, mounted a flying sword, and flew out of the mountain, looking absolutely no different from an ordinary cultivator.
It bowed formally and respectfully towards Ancestral Master Zhang Heng at the top of the Heavenly Mountain.
“This disciple obeys the Ancestral Master’s decree and will immediately head to the Eastern Sea to eradicate demons and defend the Dao of the Human Race!”
Behind the violently extinguished candles of one of the graves, the name of the grave owner roughly carved with a knife was clearly visible.
[Disciple Jiuyou. Heroic spirit lives forever, life safely returns to the Heavenly Mountain.]
“So he was already…”
Li Wei appeared beside Zhang Heng again.
Zhang Heng and Jiuyou were still staring intensely at the cultivating Li Xinri.
Li Wei hesitated for a brief moment. Ultimately, Yunlin had the right to know, but Jiuyou also had the right to keep his secret. In the end, he did not favor his own child in this matter.
Inside the desolate mountain.
Li Xinri was still desperately enduring the humiliation and constantly looking around, wondering why, after coming to the Heavenly Mountain, he was still being targeted just as miserably as in the Northern Frontier and Azure Cloud Prefecture.
He wanted to find the exact source of his bad luck, suspecting that his family had chased him all the way here to hunt him down.
Suddenly, his ancestral spirit tablet shone brilliantly. He was instantly overjoyed; the Old Ancestor was looking for him. This was even better than cleanly sweeping the casino.
An immortal, majestic voice entered his ears.
“Train hard. If someone bullies you, endure it. Be more respectful to your seniors; otherwise, I will personally deal with you.”
Li Xinri frantically grabbed the spirit tablet and fell heavily to his knees.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have ever come to the Heavenly Mountain.
Now look, even the Old Ancestor was going to deal with him.
…….
[Year 950]
[Beside Li Yaoqing, you deeply sensed the essence rules Nurture and brilliantly witnessed her enlighten flora spirits. Nurture rules progress: 8%]
Over the past intense years, both his Fire and Wood Daos had powerfully reached over 8%. Li Wei could clearly feel his profound understanding of the Dao deepening.
Li Wei held a pill in his hand.
[Tier-4 Pill: Enlightenment Pill]
[Swallowing this pill vastly increases the speed of comprehending the profound rules of heaven and earth.
It is commonly used by cultivators when casting their Void Refinement space, accelerating their absorption of heaven and earth rules.]
Li Wei had eaten this precious pill before; it made him feel as if he could instantly see through the pure essence of things, much like closely looking at the world through a microscope.
“I wonder exactly what my current realm is like.”
Li Wei took a deep, heavy breath.
Only upon reaching the Body Integration realm did he deeply realize how fast time actually flew.
Even after consuming many precious pills, he still felt very far from the Dao-Comprehending realm.
He then flew past his family’s descendants.
[Your descendant Li Yaoqing spent years refining pills, creating three types of Tier-4 pills… sought out Li Yuanshang to actively find heavenly materials and earthly treasures… heavily refined pills… continuously sought heavenly materials and earthly treasures…]
[Your descendant Li Yaotie spent years forging… refined the ‘Heavenly Fire Right Hand’… forged a set of ‘Dragon Scale Martial Armament’ for his wife Bai Rourou…]
[Your descendants, the couple Li Dalong and Xu Cuihua, along with Li Xinnian, cultivated in the Underworld, entering Hell Layer III: The Iron Thorn Grove. They successfully found the materials ‘Ironthorn Heartwood’ and ‘Wailing Ironthorn’…]
[Descendants…]
[With massive amounts of pure spiritual liquid, Underworld materials, precious medicinal pills, and family foundation, your family grows increasingly stronger every day.]
[Your descendants Li Tianming and Li Xinjue, with the help of the ‘Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique’ and massive amounts of family pills and treasures, broke through to the Void Refinement realm.]
[2 successfully broke through to Divinity Transformation, 1 failed.]
This Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique was truly a heaven-defying method.
Although they only forcefully broke through to False-Void Refinement, which was still a vast distance away from true Void Refinement, it was ultimately still the Void Refinement realm.
Li Wei was absolutely certain that their family’s Void Refinement foundation was enough to rival the vast majority of factions in the entire world.
If they really had to compare to the absolute peak, it was entirely incomparable.
For example, the terrifying Dragon Race; the family’s Old Dragon became a Void Refinement expert the exact moment he successfully transformed into a dragon.
Comparing innate talent with the Dragon Race, their Li Clan was absolutely nothing. At most, they could just catch two dragons to eat.
Amidst his profound thoughts, Li Wei walked to the family’s secret ground.
Now, besides [Dabao: 14th Generation] soaking in the pool, there was also Spear Saint Gu Fenghua’s remains lying in a freezing ice coffin nearby.
Dabao exuded a Void Refinement aura.
A single glance at its information clearly showed components like [Zhao Clan Old Ancestor’s Spine], [Iron Thorn Grove Ghost King’s Heart], and [Banshu Ao’s Meridians].
Dabao’s aura was extremely powerful; its future was boundless.
Beneath Gu Fenghua’s ice coffin were layers of grand arrays, and Li Tianqi was standing right in front of it.
For decades, Li Tianqi had been intensely researching this, trying to figure out exactly what Ba Siyu had done to Gu Fenghua in the Western Frontier back then.
The methods of a Body Integration realm expert gave even an array Dao immortal master like Li Tianqi quite a severe headache.
As the spirit tablet lit up, Li Tianqi, who had just returned from running errands outside, said, “Old Ancestor, Senior Gu’s Spear Dao… has been occupied by someone else.”
A trace of anger flashed through Li Tianqi’s eyes.
The weapon the Old Ancestor used was a spear, so over the years, many in the family used spears as their primary weapon.
Even if Eldest Uncle Yunlin’s Skyveil Hall formed a halberd, he loved using a spear normally.
Chang used a fan, but secretly wielded a spear as well; having spent these years in the Heavenly Fire Dao Field and clearly knowing the Spear Dao was vacant, he worked hard to comprehend the Spear Dao and often came to see Gu Fenghua’s remains.
Li Xinghuo was an even better spear user.
Li Wei merely nodded slightly.
For those figures who kill a Dao realm expert, no one would foolishly pass up the chance to let one of their own occupy that Dao path.
It was highly likely that many people had plotted this for many years.
“Tell Chang to keep practicing the spear.”
Li Wei transmitted his voice through the spirit tablet, “What exactly is hidden inside Gu Fenghua’s remains?”
“A spear, his lifebound Spirit Treasure.” Li Tianqi said solemnly, “It has gathered his lifelong Dao.”
