Chapter 1361: Chapter 1355: Dao Glimpser
Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven, Cliff of Reflection.
Li Yunlin and Fairy Hongxiu cuddled together.
Upon learning that her husband had died in Nangong Qingya’s memories of what resembled a ‘past life’, the anxiety in Fairy Hongxiu’s heart was beyond words.
However, she knew Li Yunlin’s temperament well; her husband dared to do what others would not.
Now, hearing of the Old Tree’s omen about a ‘sword shadow’ piercing his soul, it appeared to be an omen of near-certain death.
Yet her husband would undoubtedly still forge ahead in the face of death. He was stubborn to the bone and never knew when to retreat.
“In the past, when I was in Azure Cloud Prefecture, I loved doing foolish things. Aunt tried to stop me from going to the Skyveil Sect, but I came anyway.
There was a rift between my father and me, but I wanted to be like him, to be able to stand on my own. What man doesn’t want to be the hero of his village?”
Noticing the worry in Fairy Hongxiu’s eyes, Li Yunlin smiled at her.
“And then I messed things up. Sect cultivation is not that easy; the more outstanding one’s aptitude, the easier it is to fall into the whirlpool of power.
My master wanted to murder my entire family.”
“By the time I emerged from my secluded cultivation, everything was already over.
The elders of the family had sacrificed themselves. The Old Ancestor and my clansmen had fought their way to the Skyveil Sect, and I still hadn’t come out.
I’m not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this—I basically did absolutely nothing, stirred up a massive pile of trouble, and ended up sitting on the sect master’s throne of the Skyveil Sect.”
Li Yunlin said this with a smile.
Yet, Fairy Hongxiu could see the lingering gloom in his eyes.
“Do you know why I like being at the Cliff of Reflection?”
Fairy Hongxiu shook her head, looking at Li Yunlin’s smiling face.
Li Yunlin said, “When I’m at the Cliff of Reflection, it’s the time I cause the least trouble. No one imprisons me; I imprison myself.”
“When we were at the Tian Xing Grotto-Heaven, the Old Ancestor said that I am an elder in the family.
At that time, I realized the family had many, many younger generations, and it was finally time for me to take responsibility.
I also understood why, despite the massive pile of trouble I stirred up, neither my grandparents, my father, nor my uncles and aunts ever scolded me.”
“As elders, as long as the younger generation hasn’t committed a true sin, even if they cause trouble, we must still protect our own.”
“In Qingya’s memories, I died on the battlefield.”
“I actually felt relieved, because I died fighting on the front lines. On my battlefront, not a single clansman was harmed.”
“Yunlin…” Fairy Hongxiu looked at him with a reproachful gaze.
“I can only say these things to you,” Li Yunlin smiled.
“Rest assured. Since everything in Qingya’s memories is already known, and the Old Tree has given me the omen, then it isn’t a situation of near-certain death.
I’m not foolish enough to throw my life away.”
Shortly after, Li Yunlin had Nangong Qingya leave, and used the old cat’s spiritual item to comprehend the Great Dao.
[Your descendant Li Yunlin, with the help of the Skyveil Hall and the hall spirit, the old cat, as well as Li Zhiheng finding all the spiritual items in Azure Cloud Prefecture and incorporating them into the Skyveil Hall, has peered into 27 Great Daos over the years.
Acquired Trait: Dao Glimpser]
[Perfected rules are enough to form formidable combat power. For every rule perfected, combat power increases by 30% of the peak Void Refinement realm.]
[Acquired the ancient immortal art left within the Red Dust Immortal’s ‘Rolling Red Dust’ immortal method: Spirit-Pointing Art.
Gathers all rules into a single point for an instant detonation. The staggering power is enough to deal with the Body Integration realm.]
Inside the Skyveil Hall, it looked like a starry sky.
The old cat hopped onto Li Yunlin’s shoulder, its heart heavy.
The arrival of the Blood Moon would be the time Li Yunlin sought out the wielder of that sword shadow for a great battle.
Even if that weren’t the case, the arrival of the immortals from within the Blood Moon would result in a bloody battle for the Li Clan, placing everyone in danger.
Yet, warning signals of Li Yunlin’s impending danger arrived time and time again.
It had followed Li Yunlin for centuries; even keeping a bird for that long would foster affection, let alone a human.
“I have searched for a Great Dao suitable for me for many years, yet I still haven’t found the karmic opportunity.”
Li Yunlin let out a long breath and said to the old cat,
“Encountering that sword shadow will be a moment of near-certain death—either I see through the Great Dao, or I perish. The Old Tree’s omens have never been wrong.”
The old cat remained as arrogant as ever, though its voice was a pitch lower. “With me here, with me protecting you, kid, what are you afraid of?”
Li Yunlin smiled. Having spent centuries with the old cat, this feline had finally developed human-like feelings and grown attached.
“If something happens to me, flee back to Azure Cloud Prefecture. For my sake, help the descendants of my Li family.
Tell my Old Ancestor that from the day we were at the Tian Xing Grotto-Heaven, I have protected the children of the family just as he taught me. Tell my grandfather, let him…”
Li Yunlin gave his instructions one by one, and the old cat listened with a furrowed brow.
In the cloudy sky, a group of people remained hidden, shielding themselves from heavenly secrets.
On the spirit boat.
The cage was dragged to the edge. The family members also perceived everything happening inside the Skyveil Hall through the mirror surfaces, remaining speechless for a long time.
Until the Sword Heavenly King inside the cage asked through gritted teeth, “What do you want me to do?!!”
Li Yunbing kicked the cage and pointed at his eldest brother in the Skyveil Hall of the Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven, saying in a deep voice,
“Help us assassinate my eldest brother. You must cast a sword shadow to slash across his soul.”
“…”
The Sword Heavenly King stared dumbfounded at the group of dead-serious Li Clan members.
As a cold breeze blew through the cloudy sky, He was in such disbelief that His voice grew faint.
“Are you serious? You kidnapped this immortal from beneath the Blood Moon just to assassinate your eldest brother?”
The family members stared solemnly at the bewildered Sword Heavenly King, nodding earnestly in perfect unison.
This reminded the Sword Heavenly King of the apocalyptic scenes back at His shrine within the Blood Moon, leaving Him utterly disoriented in the wind.
