Chapter 1256: Chapter 1250: Ancient Age Li Clan
Earth.
A month had passed since Li Wei left the villa district, and many things had happened during this time.
The old men and women in the villa district, who usually wore pajamas, were currently searching everywhere.
“Where is Young Master Li?”
“Find him quickly. He carries the purest bloodline of the Li Clan.”
“Fuck, search the whole world, search beyond the star sector!”
Amidst the panic, cultivators could be seen flying through the cloudy sky, looking fierce and aggressive, heading off to kill some unknown target.
Suddenly, a loud ‘boom’ resounded, causing the entire villa district to shake.
Standing outside Cave Dwelling No. 1, Granny Ling wore a suit of armor. Her aged face beneath the helmet looked ferocious as she gazed beyond Earth.
“Damn Salvation Army! Tens of millions of years have passed, yet heaven knows where they found a Body Integration zombie and dug up a bunch of ancient monsters.
Although Earth’s karmic luck and durability are akin to the Ancient Age, such Spiritual power that can casually destroy a planet in the star sector… it seems even Earth won’t be able to withstand a great war like this.”
Leaning against the wall, Boss Qi was covered in cold sweat.
“This is a civil war, not against those Mystic Civilizations or the sentient machine races outside. Who is our villa district going to help?”
Boss Qi’s heart pounded wildly.
Too many things had happened on Earth in such a short time.
Xiao Qingluo of the Salvation Army was put on the wanted list, and a zombie executed a prison break.
Originally, people thought these were just insignificant trifles; after all, once cultivators obtained Spiritual power, there were far too many instances of them wanting to run amok.
But who could have known that the Salvation Army had been hiding in every corner of Earth?
Many ancient powerhouses emerged, spouting incredibly childish slogans.
Rebellion was one thing, but rumor had it that immortals had appeared in the star sector…
These immortals were their targets. At the same time, the Salvation Army was also eradicating the immortals on Earth.
Back when Earth’s spiritual energy recovered, besides the ancient inheritances, it was also largely thanks to the help of these immortals.
“You are a newcomer, and your ranking is too low.”
Granny Ling glanced at the panicked Boss Qi. “Perhaps you don’t know, but the villa district is the final pure land for us inheritors of the Ancient Age.”
“What the hell?” On Boss Qi’s balding head, his last few strands of hair danced messily in the wind.
“The moment Young Master Li grows up is also the moment we need to make a choice.”
Granny Ling took out a quaint, ancient scroll and handed it to Boss Qi.
Written on it was: ‘Protect Number One, to battle the immortals.’
“Ever since the recovery of spiritual energy, every master of our numbered cave dwellings received the guidance of their inheritance to come to the villa district.
We exchanged techniques and cultivation methods, advancing and retreating together.”
Granny Ling smiled bitterly. “Only we ourselves knew that we had to protect Number One.”
“But you…” Boss Qi’s expression turned odd. Granny Ling had previously wanted to kill Young Master Li.
“To battle the immortals… there are many immortals in the world, and Young Master Li’s family also has immortals.
Void Refinement are Immortals, Body Integration are Heavenly Immortals, and Mahayana are Golden Immortals.
They dominate the world. Young Master Li’s Li Clan is also not the legendary Li Clan.
The immortals followed an ancient contract, never feeding on our Human Race, and went into deep slumber.”
Granny Ling’s face looked terrible.
“According to the contract, the moment Young Master Li grows up is the moment the contract is torn.
For many years in the villa district, there have been two factions: one wanted to kill Young Master Li to maintain the status quo, and the other wanted to follow the guidance.
This was inevitable.”
“But we knew that if we wanted to kill Young Master Li, there were two hurdles we could never cross.”
Hearing this.
Boss Qi glanced at Old Man Chen, dozing off in the security booth at the gate. “Who is the other one?”
As his voice fell, the gate of Number One opened, and a face as beautiful as a heavenly immortal appeared, beaming with a warm smile.
Yue Xian said with a faint smile, “My young master is not here. You all don’t need to go looking. The young master will return on his own when he gets hungry.”
“…”
Boss Qi was speechless.
He glanced at the spatial ring in his hand, wondering if he should say something.
Just a few days ago, Young Master Li had actually returned for a quick visit.
Young Master Li had forbidden him from telling anyone, and furthermore, this spatial ring was filled with treasures… For the sake of money, Boss Qi decided to suffer from amnesia.
“Yue Xian, we have protected the villa district for hundreds of years.”
Granny Ling’s expression was grave. “Now, when will the ancient existences awaken?”
“Soon. Perhaps our young master already knows everything.”
Yue Xian remained gentle as ever.
She slightly raised her head, gazing past the war zones across Earth, penetrating the clouds, all the way to the vast starry sky.
Deep in the starry sky, within a nebula, floated a massive, glowing red heart.
A heartbeat from the Ancient Age echoed across the universe.
“Thump, thump, thump!”
Starships parked outside the nebula. Even across several star sectors, the powerful beating sound could be heard. Even the vacuum of space could not stop it.
The crew members on the spaceship looked at the holographic projection and sent a message back.
“The Heavenly Dao Divine Heart is about to awaken. Please respond if you copy. Please…”
However, his transmission wasn’t finished, and he hadn’t even spoken the coordinates yet.
“Pfft!”
A tear opened on the beating heart, and a figure riding a donkey and holding a spear emerged from it. When it reappeared, it was already behind the spaceship.
The captain, clad in a stellar nanosuit, stared stiffly at the holographic projection before his eyes.
Everything about the figure that emerged from the heart was captured in the projection.
[Ancient Age Li Clan]
[Patriarch — Li Kuangtu]
[Fell during the Ancient Age in the war between Humanity and the Wu Tribe in Azure Cloud Region…]
[Resurrected from the Ancient Age…]
[Realm — Body Integration, Great Dao of Green Mountain]
Boom!
The spaceship exploded in the starry sky.
The handsome young man riding the donkey in the void of space possessed a resolute gaze as he looked toward Earth from afar.
He comforted the donkey that had turned its head back. “Soon. We are about to return to our homeland. We won’t need to hide anymore, and we won’t need to run anymore.”
He rode the donkey back to the heart.
A calm voice echoed from within. “Right now, the Old Ancestor should have just led our clansmen into battle against the immortals.”
“Yes. In the world where we once existed.”
Earth National Security Agency.
Numerous researchers in white lab coats were currently studying many ancient artifacts. The more turbulent the world became, the busier they grew.
Dr. Xiao Qingling from the Spirit Archaeology Team was among them.
She was researching these ancient artifacts with a frantic, almost manic intensity.
After being taken away, Xiao Qingling was captured and brought back again.
But this time, she did not resist, because the ancient artifacts the country had found contained more secrets than even she knew!
“Dr. Xiao, the Director wants to see you.”
A researcher led Xiao Qingling into an office.
Xiao Qingling’s face was etched with exhaustion; researching these kinds of things consumed Spiritual power.
The founding master of the Spirit Archaeology Team was known as one of the Three Thieves, and his methods of tracing origins and exploring the past were considered peerless.
The Director was a young-looking man, possessing an air of viewing all worldly matters with profound detachment.
He swept his gaze up and down Xiao Qingling and said, “Were you the one who discovered the underwater ruins of the Li Clan?”
“Yes.” Xiao Qingling nodded.
“Ancient treasures, ancient steles, but nothing of true value, aside from the Li Clan’s stone steles. It seems they all died; that was an era of absolute despair.”
“No, they are not dead.”
The Director led Xiao Qingling to the window, looking down at the ancient artifacts one by one.
“What you need to do is track their traces and find any clues they left behind. Just like the coffin you saw.”
“They aren’t dead?!!” Xiao Qingling’s pupils violently trembled.
“Could they come back to life, just like the person inside that coffin?!!”
“They are the enemies of the Human Race, and the greatest enemies of the immortals. I suspect they never truly died; they have simply been waiting.”
A trace of dread flashed through the Director’s eyes as he pointed at the shattered, diamond-shaped crystals on the ground.
“Start with these shattered Dao Seeds, and find them.”
…
The Game World.
Inside Grandhaven Prefecture.
Zhang Jing, the Second Master of the Sage Master Martial Academy, having been surrounded by the three of them, had gradually regained her composure after her initial panic.
“What do we do… what do we do…”
Banshu Qingping paced back and forth, his expression full of anxiety.
Although he was grateful to the Li Clan for rescuing him, upon returning to Grandhaven Prefecture, everything had spiraled completely out of his control.
This freak, Li Tianming, had killed the Grand Elder of Jade Mist Valley without the slightest hesitation.
Let alone him, the Grand Elder probably died without even understanding why there were talismans stuck under his rear.
Li Tianming, on the other hand, was perfectly fine with it, claiming that Jade Mist Valley and the Peerless Hall were no different.
Killing a Grand Elder meant one less Void Refinement enemy—a fantastic bargain.
“It’s over. The entire Grandhaven Prefecture is filled with enemies. Everyone… and I am completely unprepared.”
Li Tianming had reverted to his honest personality.
He took off his mask and, seeing Banshu Qingping pacing until he was dizzy, said,
“Senior, please stop pacing. Even if you… even if you prepare, it’s useless. The Banshu family also has many members in the Peerless Hall.
Having entered Grandhaven Prefecture, there is only one way out: carving a bloody path. It’s either you die, or I perish.”
“…” Banshu Qingping truly stopped pacing, his head spinning. “What other bad news is there? Just spit it all out at once.”
Li Tianming remained silent.
Banshu Qingping asked indignantly, “Is there no good news?”
“There is. Some say that Jade Mist Valley, the Sage Master Martial Academy, and even your Banshu family’s divine infant intend to eat everyone completely clean.
If we die in Grandhaven Prefecture, we’ll even save the money needed to buy coffins, hehe.”
“I thank you so much.” Banshu Qingping plopped down onto the ground, exhaling a long breath of stale air. “Hearing you say that, my head is much clearer now.”
In the distance.
Zhang Jing had been waiting for a long time, while Li Zhiheng still maintained his thoughtful posture.
Zhang Jing said faintly, “You are waiting.”
“Hm?”
Li Zhiheng’s expression shifted slightly.
“It seems your Li Clan knows quite a lot, but not everything. You only knew the Peerless Hall was scheming here.
Your objective was to rescue cultivators like Banshu Qingping who hadn’t fallen for their tricks, bringing them back to Azure Cloud Prefecture to add a measure of strength against the Blood Moon.”
The title of Second Master Zhang Jing was certainly not to be underestimated.
“But after you arrived, you discovered that Grandhaven Prefecture is far more complicated than you imagined.”
Li Zhiheng reached out his hand, catching a wisp of blue smoke, and replied,
“That is correct. Your Sage Master Martial Academy is tightly sealed from within.
It was only after arriving in Grandhaven Prefecture that I learned your six Masters have been slaughtering commoners. If I’m not mistaken, you must be hiding an immortal as well.”
“The Banshu family has an immortal, and Jade Mist Valley wants to become immortals too.”
Li Zhiheng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
“I don’t understand why you all want to be immortals.
Are the common people and your disciples throughout Grandhaven Prefecture nothing more than ants for you to consume whenever you please?”
Zhang Jing wore a strange expression. “Becoming an immortal means attaining immortality. Do you have children? Are your parents still alive?”
“I have children, parents, and numerous descendants.”
Zhang Jing let out a long breath.
“No wonder. The immortal path is long, and blood relatives eventually perish. For us, the only pursuit remaining is to become an immortal. This is something everyone must go through.”
She looked around. “You should accept this reality and stand on our side. It will save you thousands, even tens of thousands of years of detours.”
Li Zhiheng frowned slightly.
Looking at Zhang Jing again, there was no need to think any further.
“You cannot kill me.” Zhang Jing sighed.
“You missed the optimal chance to kill me. Your Li Clan killing the Grand Elder was nothing more than a sudden, unexpected sneak attack.
After that, you should have teamed up with Li Tianming and Banshu Qingping to kill me immediately. Perhaps then, you might have had a chance.”
“But now…”
At this moment, Banshu Qingping violently shot up from the distance, the white bead beside him floating in the air.
Li Tianming, standing nearby, put on his mask and looked toward the distance.
In the cloudy sky, a figure built like an iron pagoda was approaching alongside an elderly man.
The Third Master and the Sixth Master of the Martial Academy!
Zhang Jing smiled faintly.
“The Azure Cloud Li Clan shouldn’t have come. You killed Uncle Rain, but it took you a full year, and that was on your home turf.
But this is Grandhaven Prefecture; our three factions have immortals, and we wield the methods of immortals.”
Li Zhiheng glanced at the two Masters charging from afar and asked, “What about the other three Masters, and your immortal?”
“Killing you doesn’t require all of us.”
Zhang Jing spoke casually, as if chatting with a friend met on the road.
“Within Grandhaven Prefecture, it has always been the home ground of our three factions.
If there is fighting, it is between our three factions. Only the final survivors have the right to become true immortals.”
“Your Li Clan is arrogant, wanting to take away our food. You think you can fight against immortals, but it is useless.
Only immortals can educate the world. When the Blood Moon arrives, we will bring its blessings to Azure Cloud Prefecture.”
“It’s a pity you won’t live to see that day.”
Li Zhiheng frowned.
An oil lamp appeared in his hand.
Li Tianming walked up behind Li Zhiheng.
Li Zhiheng said apologetically, “I might have lied. I wasn’t thinking about whether to let you live or not. I was waiting, waiting for your people to come and save you.”
“What?!!” Zhang Jing’s expression changed drastically as she heard the piercing, grating laughter emanating from beneath Li Tianming’s mask.
“There’s one more thing I lied about.”
Li Zhiheng said guiltily, “The Blood Moon is far too powerful, and we know our strength is insufficient. Therefore, besides coming to rescue people, our true objective is…”
At this exact moment.
The Li Clan members hidden throughout Grandhaven Prefecture, as well as the Azure Cloud Prefecture cultivators concealed at the mountain peak, all flew toward the various corners of Grandhaven Prefecture in unison.
A cold sneer surfaced on their faces.
“To eat you all!”
