Chapter 1304: Chapter 1298: Ancient Immortal
Li Yunlin took a trip back to the family.
The family’s retainers Zhuo Linlin, Dongfang Xuan, the Old Man, Daoist Shanchen…
Ancestor Tianye, Xuanji, and Feng Chunlin from the Azure Cloud Region…
Sun Haotian, Master Yuming, and Supreme Elder Pu Ci from Azure Cloud Prefecture…
These experts swarmed toward the Eternal Immortal Sect.
Everyone in Azure Cloud Prefecture knew that the Dao Ancestor’s successor in the Eternal Immortal Sect was no longer hiding his strength.
He was a top-tier cultivator in the world. No one knew exactly how many Daos he possessed.
He was the gatekeeper of the mortal realm’s Dao paths, and the greatest obstacle preventing the world’s cultivators from taking a step further.
[Special Event — Ancestor Lan Preaches the Dao]
[After Li Yaowen’s visit, where Ancestor Lan met Lu Niang, he decided to impart everything he had learned in his life to the cultivators of Azure Cloud Prefecture.]
Inside the Eternal Immortal Sect.
Ancestor Lan set up an altar.
The cultivators of the Three Prefectures gathered there and instantly felt the world shift.
Ancestor Lan’s location transformed into a multicolored, iridescent world. Within this world existed various characters; these simple characters swirled within the iridescent domain.
[Darkness], [Metal], [Summer], [River]…
These unadorned characters seemingly contained the purest truths of the world. Even a Void Refinement cultivator would instantly feel dizzy and disoriented upon touching them.
At this moment, everyone knew that the person before them was the absolute strongest in the entire Southern Frontier, and also the one who hid the deepest.
…
The City of Merit was suddenly left empty and desolate.
At Li Yaoqing’s alchemy site, Li Yaoqing furrowed her delicate brows; she had a very long dream.
In the dream, her fourth sister and an old man were abusing Lu Niang, nearly ripping off the six leaves that Lu Niang had painstakingly grown.
“Bang!”
Li Yaoqing jolted awake, her rocking chair swaying as her eyes widened in shock.
The commotion startled the Immortal Child watching the pill furnace. “Apothecary, are you sick again? Why are you so jumpy?”
“It’s… it’s nothing, just a dream.”
Li Yaoqing waved her hand dismissively, knowing the dream was actually real.
Upon waking, before she even had time to tell the Old Ancestor, her body tensed, and she suddenly appeared in another world—her dantian, which was also Lu Niang’s world.
Beneath a starry cosmos stood a Nine-Leaf Clover. Six leaves had grown out, while three remained ethereal.
It was her first time seeing Lu Niang. Clad in a green dress, Lu Niang was incredibly beautiful, just a bit unkempt with messy hair.
Surges of Dao rhythm filled the air in all directions.
At this moment, Li Yaoqing was absolutely certain: her fourth sister and that old man had definitely been abusing Lu Niang inside her body.
Li Yaoqing’s eyes turned slightly red; there were people standing behind her, many people.
“Come here,” Lu Niang’s gentle voice called out as she waved to Li Yaoqing.
Li Yaoqing took a step forward but suddenly halted, warning her vigilantly,
“My fourth sister brought someone to beat you up, but you can’t hit me in return! Grievances shouldn’t involve family members.”
Lu Niang: “…”
[Special Event — Ancient Immortal Lu Niang]
[Your descendant Li Yaowen learned her second sister was afflicted by an immortal. Rushing home, she went to meet the immortal alongside Ancestor Lan.]
[The ancient immortal Lu Niang spoke evasively. The immortal had not fully awakened. Ancestor Lan engaged her in a soul battle and won.]
[Your descendant Li Yaoqing earned Lu Niang’s appreciation and acquired the Trait: Immortal Pact]
[The ancient immortal Lu Niang established a pact with Li Yaoqing, vowing to never harm Li Yaoqing’s body, residing within her and coexisting with her.]
Beside Li Yaoqing’s rocking chair.
Li Wei gazed at the sleeping Li Yaoqing, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Yaowen and Ancestor Lan’s visit to Lu Niang had spurred growth in Yaoqing that went far beyond this.
The Immortal Child tending the pill furnace could be seen wiping his tears, shivering in fear.
Sensing the flowers and grass sprouting around Li Yaoqing, he felt nothing but sheer terror.
This was immortal qi; an instinctive fear he had only previously felt when the Red Dust Immortal arrived!
[Your descendant Li Yaoqing acquired the Trait: Ancient Immortal]
[The ancient immortal Lu Niang has existed since the dawn of heaven and earth.
Mastering the world’s most primal life force, she thoroughly understands the ultimate truths of life.
She possesses the world’s highest-tier healing and life-extending power, and can even enlighten living beings.]
Lu Niang had always been inside Li Yaoqing. Exactly how strong this immortal was, even Li Wei didn’t know.
Before leaving, Yaowen had said that Lu Niang had constantly been helping Yaoqing grow stronger and break through her Dao because only a sufficiently powerful physique and Dao cultivation could barely accommodate Lu Niang’s immortal power.
Six leaves corresponded to Void Refinement; if all nine leaves were complete, Lu Niang would be no weaker than a Great Emperor!
Seeing Li Yaoqing fast asleep, he knew she was definitely communicating and coexisting with Lu Niang.
Li Wei instantly vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already high up in the sky.
The sky was the boundary forged by so-called ‘Space’ Dao practitioners; at the very least, Li Wei was not confident in breaking through this boundary.
According to the Red Dust Immortal’s records, an immortal’s power remained top-tier even outside the world.
Before his eyes were rows of spirit tablets. An exhausted Li Yaowen floated gently in the wind at the center of the Li Clan’s spirit tablets.
Looking at the tranquil Yaowen, Li Wei remained silent for a long time.
This child had made a trip back to resolve Yaoqing’s trouble, not even having the time to rest her feet at home.
In Li Yaowen’s event log, events were listed one after another.
[Your descendant Li Yaowen carries the life tablets of her clansmen, evading prying eyes from all over the world.]
[Acquired Trait: Wandering Child of the Family]
[The wandering child of the family does not return home, bearing the family’s burdens across the ends of the earth. Detection of external prying toward the family increases by 10%.]
[Descendant Li Yaowen’s reincarnation technique grows increasingly proficient, possessing 1,019 reincarnated bodies.]
[Upon the death of a reincarnated body, she swiftly absorbs its Spiritual power, engaging in battles of wits and courage with the reincarnated bodies, comprehending everything they experienced.
Having already acquired the Spiritual power of 82 reincarnated bodies, she acquired the Trait: Eighty-Two Lifetime Destiny Master.]
[As she absorbs the Spiritual power of the reincarnated bodies, her strength will increase, and her mastery over destiny arts will improve.
The traits of the Destiny Master will upgrade in tandem with the absorbed power of the reincarnated bodies.]
[She has glimpsed the Dao Gates of the Scholarly Dao, Destiny Dao, and Reincarnation Dao.
Though the paths beyond the Dao Gates are sealed, it cannot halt the elevation of her aptitude and strength.]
[Acquired Trait: Worldly Outsider]
[Wandering at the edge of heaven and earth, standing aloof from the world. Though a worldly outsider in body, she is trapped within a cage.]
Li Wei’s gaze tightened slightly. If the current Li Yaowen hardened her heart, her strength might even surpass his, the Old Ancestor.
At the very least, he couldn’t enter Lu Niang’s domain and bring Ancestor Lan along to abuse Lu Niang in passing.
Yet Yaowen, fully knowing she could become incredibly strong, didn’t dare to do so.
If she acted recklessly, the silk threads of her destiny arts would snap one by one, and prying eyes from all over the world would swarm the family from all directions.
Seemingly sensing the Old Ancestor by her side, Li Yaowen slowly opened her eyes, her voice weak.
Unsure if she had slipped into another [Flashback], her eyes were vacant.
“Old Ancestor, this child told Lu Niang that if she didn’t agree to coexist with Second Sister, it would be a fight to the death.
Please tell Second Sister not to be angry; this child was only scaring Lu Niang.”
Time passed bit by bit.
The Blood Moon invaded Grandhaven Prefecture.
Unfortunately, Grandhaven Prefecture already had little left for the Blood Moon to devour.
The cultivators of Grandhaven Prefecture were evacuating to Clearpeak Prefecture, and from there, they continued to evacuate further.
The entire Southern Frontier was preparing for the battle against the Blood Moon, with experts heading toward the Eternal Immortal Sect to listen to Ancestor Lan preach the Dao.
[Year 1005]
[Your descendants can sense the urgency across the Southern Frontier.
Even mortals can feel the tension in the Southern Frontier regarding the Blood Moon; two hundred years turned out to be so close.
The Blood Moon is counting down the lives in the entire Southern Frontier, and the family is racing against the Blood Moon.]
[Your descendant Li Yaozu, in the ancestral land of the Demon Tribe, is battling the deceased tribesmen of Fang Linglong; five years have passed, and he is still merely lingering on his last breath.]
[Your descendant Li Yaoqing is accepting Lu Niang’s power, waiting for the Red Dust Immortal to kill the cultivator occupying the Dao of Flora and Fauna.]
[Li Yaotie is exploring a physique that surpasses immortals and demons.]
[Li Yaowen wanders the world, engaging in battles of wits and courage with her reincarnated bodies and prying eyes from all over the world, continuously falling into ‘Flashbacks’.]
[…]
Inside the Eternal Immortal Sect.
Li Yunlin opened his eyes at the Cliff of Reflection in the Eternal Immortal Sect.
He was inside the Skyveil Hall, and with a single leap, he emerged from the small, floating cube above the Cliff of Reflection.
“I have advanced another step.”
The old cat floated onto Li Yunlin’s shoulder, looking haughtily toward the distant gathering place of the Southern Frontier’s experts, where Ancestor Lan was preaching.
It said arrogantly, “I must admit, this old man does have some skill, but he is definitely not qualified to teach you.”
Li Yunlin frowned. Having stayed in the Eternal Immortal Sect for just a few short years, he had lost his disdain for Ancestor Lan.
For someone like Ancestor Lan to pass on his inheritance so unreservedly now—this was something that sect ancestors only did when they knew they were about to die.
“Old cat, don’t say the Senior is unqualified,” Li Yunlin smiled. “He is just humoring you.”
“Hmph!”
The old cat remained unconvinced.
Li Yunlin shook his head and smiled. Nowadays, everyone was cultivating. He had watched over Fairy Hongxiu for a few years, and then immediately set off for Grandhaven Prefecture.
The old cat leaped into the Skyveil Hall, which transformed into an immortal sword. Like a streak of light, they arrived at Grandhaven Prefecture in less than ten days.
Grandhaven Prefecture was a scene of devastation and ruin. The bewitching crimson color of the encroaching Blood Moon reflected across the entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture.
Li Yunlin took a deep breath. “Old cat, have you ever fought an immortal?”
“No.”
The old cat sprawled on his shoulder.
“There are no good people in the Imperial Dynasty. They used me to fight the Wu Tribe once, and threw me away when they were done.
But I am not a Spirit Treasure now; you and I are one entity. Cultivate well. With our abilities, we will be invincible in the world.”
The old cat loved to brag; Li Yunlin was used to it.
With his Skyveil Physique fighting an immortal at the Half-Step Body Integration realm, he couldn’t even break the watchdog’s defense.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t fight immortals; he just lacked the means to execute them.
“I feel I should be like Second Aunt and Zhiheng, making a deal with an immortal, or falling into the demonic path.”
Li Yunlin spoke solemnly to the old cat, causing the old cat’s fur to stand on end.
“Are you crazy? Your Second Aunt and that kid Zhiheng have the ability to suppress immortals.
Moreover, Lu Niang inside your Second Aunt bears no malice, and Zhiheng possesses a Childlike Heart.
Do you think you can be like them? Or do you think you’re like your younger brothers, that you can still be saved after becoming a demon?”
“Then what can I use to fight immortals?” Li Yunlin sighed faintly.
Many years had passed, and this was the first time he had spoken to the old cat like this. He was pure of heart and had few desires, but he saw everything happening at home.
Everyone in the family was searching for a way to cope, and the entire Southern Frontier was doing the same.
The old cat remained silent for a long time.
“Anyway, it won’t do. I have no confidence in pulling you back. Ancient cultivators had the confidence to fight immortals; you can too. You still have me.”
Li Yunlin weighed the pros and cons as he moved forward with the old cat.
Ahead lay the place where a great battle had once occurred—the location of Jade Mist Valley.
Beneath the devastation lay an abyss. At the bottom of the abyss was the watchdog’s main body, its sky-propping tentacles still present.
These tentacles, tainted with demonic and evil qi, had turned this place almost entirely into a demonic domain over the past few years.
The resentment of living beings caused the corpses of the dead in all directions to resurrect, leaving demons, monsters, ghosts, and fiends everywhere.
“Yunbing.”
Following Li Yunlin’s soft call, the cloud layer in the sky drifted down, covering the ground in white clouds and submerging all the demonic qi, evil qi, and the various demons, monsters, ghosts, and fiends within the demonic domain.
From the front of the vast and mighty clouds and mist, a figure wielding dual swords slowly walked out.
Within the clouds and mist, the watchdog’s tentacles actually burrowed into this person’s back at an extremely fast speed, resembling a pair of hideous, fleshy wings.
The old cat’s expression turned ugly. “Look, this is what it means to become a demon.”
Below.
Wielding the dual swords Human-Slaughterer and Wu-Slaughterer, Li Yunbing abruptly raised his head.
A vertical eye on his forehead opened and closed, staring intently at his eldest brother in the cloudy sky. His face was deathly pale as he revealed a wicked, enchanting smile. “Eldest Brother.”
“My plan to eat Banshu Weide and the watchdog worked.”
The evil qi surged to the heavens.
Floating in the cloudy sky, Li Yunlin felt the Dao rhythm on Yunbing’s body and observed for a long time.
Yunbing had become very unfamiliar.
No, having been brothers for many years, Yunbing’s current appearance looked more like he had stopped pretending.
He took a deep breath, certain that Yunbing would not kill him. He said to the old cat, “My stepmother and my seven younger siblings are also demons.”
The old cat glanced at the bizarre Li Yunbing on the ground, then back at Li Yunlin.
Its tail stood straight up, its fur standing on end all over its body, baring its teeth. “If you become like this, I won’t eat your fish anymore!!!”
