Chapter 1093: Chapter 1088: Su Chen’s Dao Path
[Special Event — The Great War Between Human and Wu]
[As the three human race Body Integration experts arrived at the border, the Nirvana Sage Elder was severely injured at Shadowfell Prefecture’s border pass, and the Divine Bird Tribe suffered heavy casualties.
The Moon Dragon Tribe has arrived at the Shadowfell Prefecture border to assist.
The human race’s Ba Siyu and the Spear Saint have requested the three Body Integration experts to remain and seek reinforcements from the dynasty.]
At this moment, Li Wei appeared beside Li Yunbing.
He saw Li Yunbing looking at the battlefield and the blood moon in the sky with a gloomy expression.
It seemed the arrival of the Moon Dragon Tribe had long been within his expectations.
“Back then, Yunbing constantly tried to find ways to escalate the conflict between the two races. This kid…”
Li Wei looked at Li Yunbing’s traits.
After the [Overlord] and [Conspirator] traits, a new [Nation-Hater] trait had appeared.
[Your descendant Li Yunbing, due to the various factions of the dynasty abandoning his niece Li Tianyue, and Crown Prince Fei Heng harming the border and soldiers for his own selfish gains, has grown to question everything about the dynasty.
He no longer trusts the dynasty and wishes he could bring a great purge upon it.]
[Damage against those holding official positions within the dynasty is increased by 100%, and the favor received from the dynasty’s worldly luck is reduced.
Harboring the ambition to destroy the nation; if the dynasty’s national destiny is damaged, his cultivation speed and prehension will increase to a certain extent.]
“…”
Li Wei was speechless for a moment.
Li Dalong and Li Yunbing, grandfather and grandson, were both Prefecture Lords, but they were entirely different.
Li Dalong felt that the family was a part of the dynasty and would grow stronger as the dynasty grew stronger.
Li Yunbing, on the other hand, wished he could destroy the nation, believing the family could preserve itself regardless and still protect the moners of the Azure Cloud Prefecture.
However, Li Wei didn’t mind. To him, whether the dynasty existed or not meant nothing.
The differing views Li Dalong and Li Yunbing held in their hearts toward the dynasty were also no big deal.
When it came to major family matters, neither grandfather nor grandson would act on their own, much less have any final divergence in opinion.
Between the words ‘loyalty’ and ‘filial piety’, filial piety came first.
Ultimately, strength was the true foundation. As long as the family’s strength was formidable, even the Human Emperor would have to bow three times and kowtow nine times outside their gates.
“I wonder what’s going on with this blood moon.”
Li Wei glanced all around. The anomaly of blood beads emerging from the ground was only highly visible on the first day.
As time passed, the density of the blood moon’s spiritual energy was still increasing, but the speed had slowed considerably.
There were no longer any blood beads visible to the naked eye in the air, but by attaching spiritual energy to one’s eyes, one could see that the blood mist was still rising.
Li Wei took a deep breath.
Although he was enemies with Min Tiange, he genuinely admired him.
At the very least, Min Tiange’s current ability to toy with Shadowfell Prefecture, and even the people of the world, was a height their Li Clan still could not reach.
Amidst his thoughts.
[Special Event — Su Chen’s Dao Path]
[The family’s adopted son, Su Chen, has tempered himself in the outside world for many years.
Having spent years in Shadowfell Prefecture, he has broken through to the Half-Step Body Integration realm.
His previous life’s cultivation of the Dao of Light and Shadow has already been occupied.
Subsequently, he prehended the ‘Great Dao of Demon Sealing’ from an ancient secret realm.]
“The Great Dao of Demon Sealing?”
Looking at the special event, Li Wei remembered the technique Su Chen had used when they set the trap to severely injure the Nirvana Sage Elder.
His techniques and laws were actually capable of affecting the Dao Integration realm.
Li Wei had never heard of this kind of Great Dao, yet he could feel its formidable power.
If someone of the same realm fought Su Chen, they wouldn’t even be able to utilize their techniques; they would be forced to fight Su Chen using only their physical bodies, ultimately losing their lives to Su Chen’s Daoist arts.
Li Wei appeared in front of Li Xinnian.
pared to Li Xinnian’s image as an elegant young master, Su Chen, wearing a gray robe, looked somewhat weathered by the vicissitudes of life.
He was currently saying to Li Xinnian,
“My Great Dao of Light and Shadow was taken. Wherever the radiance of the Dao of Light and Shadow shines is where I am, and it represents the extreme speed of the world.
The only reason the Peerless Hall was able to evade the world’s pursuit was because of my Great Dao of Light and Shadow.”
“But if I cultivate the Great Dao of Demon Sealing, no matter what kind of Daoist arts Min Tiange cultivates, I will be able to suppress them.”
“How do you prehend the Great Dao of Demon Sealing?” Li Xinnian frowned.
Su Chen looked at the red moon in the cloudy sky.
“Mortal Transformation. To seal demons, I must first seal myself. The so-called ‘demon sealing’ is nothing more than neutralizing the Dao and techniques of others.
I will seal my own body, go see the mountains, rivers, and lakes of the world, use my own prehension, and then neutralize them.”
“When I break my self-seal and restore my power, that will be the day of my breakthrough. My opportunity lies within myself.”
“On the path of Mortal Transformation… I might die.”
“Eldest Brother!” Li Xinnian’s expression changed in shock.
In this life, he also had blood brothers, namely the ‘Xin’ generation in the Northern Frontier—Xinri in the Northern Frontier City, and Xinjue in Silvermoon City.
But even when peers arrived at the family, he only treated them with the formalities of a Patriarch.
He and Su Chen had experienced a lot together.
Ever since that day when Su Chen gained abilities in the outside world, brought back treasures from a secret realm, and solved the family’s urgent crisis, Li Xinnian had truly considered Su Chen his own blood brother.
“Don’t try to persuade me, and don’t try to help me. I truly have to walk this path.”
Su Chen grinned and said,
“There are some people I absolutely must kill. I’ve learned a lot in the family over these years. At the very least, aside from Xinri, there isn’t a single coward in our family.”
As he spoke, Su Chen pulled off the ancient, unadorned ring from his hand.
Under Li Xinnian’s stunned gaze, he grabbed Li Xinnian’s hand and placed it in his palm.
Su Chen smiled.
“Min Tiange making such a grand display means he definitely has a scheme. If he breaks through to the Mahayana realm…
The red moon is still condensing the Spiritual power of all living beings. You hold onto this item.
Before Min Tiange achieves his goal, he will not show himself. At that time, I will return with my Great Dao of Demon Sealing.”
Beneath the red moon.
Li Xinnian looked at the ancient ring in his palm, gazing at Su Chen’s departing figure, lost in thought for a long time.
Then, he smiled faintly and slipped the ring onto his finger.
A trace of envy flashed through his eyes; it had always been like this.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter how hard he cultivated, he could never catch up to Su Chen’s footsteps.
Even now, Su Chen had reached Half-Step Body Integration, while he had only reached the Void Refinement realm relying on the family’s medicinal pills.
He also wasn’t as free and untrammeled as Su Chen.
Su Chen wandered everywhere, an unrestrained and unfettered member of the world.
He had walked through many interesting places and seen much of the world, whereas Li Xinnian had spent most of his life in the seat of the Azure Cloud Prefecture’s Patriarch, running about for the sake of the family.
“How many people like Eldest Brother are there in this world? It’s just Mortal Transformation; I’ll hold onto the ring for you for now.”
Li Xinnian shrugged.
Looking out over the vast lands of Shadowfell Prefecture, he suddenly felt incredibly relaxed.
“When the time es, you and I, brothers together, will deal with Min Tiange.”
Su Chen departed.
This kid had always been unrestrained and unfettered.
Li Wei didn’t bother too much about it. After all, this was the “Child of Destiny.”
Soon after, he appeared in the central area of the Golden Toad Divine Palace.
Nun Dairou was trapped by the Heaven-Imprisoning Lock.
A Bodhisattva statue stood in front of her, and Li Kuanghua was sitting cross-legged facing her, striking a wooden fish.
It wasn’t exactly worshipping Buddha; Li Kuanghua wasn’t that idle.
This girl was pouting, putting on quite a wild and unruly act.
“Old demoness, when I was in your Dusheng Nunnery, you old nuns striking wooden fish every day made my ears hurt from the noise.
The Heavenly Dao has karma! Prick up your ears; I’m going to strike it until you’ve had enough!”
“…”
Li Wei shrank his neck. Li Kuanghua’s desire for revenge was truly strong enough.
However, despite being imprisoned, Nun Dairou still maintained an appearance of being aloof and detached from the world.
Don’t be fooled by her ruthlessness—using the lives and souls of her followers to help her disciple break through—she truly believed herself to be a Bodhisattva.
“Amitabha. All living beings e, and all living beings go. Such is timing, such is fate.”
Whether it was fate or not, Li Wei didn’t know.
Li Wei only knew that capturing a Body Integration expert alive was a thousand times harder than killing one.
A living Body Integration expert constantly emanated Dao rhythm; she was practically a grand synthesizer of laws.
Through her, the family could prehend the law of the ‘Rebirth’ Dao from her body. However, this thing was too ruthless.
One had to personally deliver numerous living beings to open the Dao Gate, and it also required cultivating Buddhist Dharma.
On the contrary, the incredibly heavy law of the ‘Verdant Mountain’ Dao was somewhat easier to prehend.
After the matter of hunting down the Nirvana Sage Elder, Li Wei already understood Nun Dairou’s value.
Controlling a Body Integration expert meant controlling a Dao path.
As long as someone in the family cultivated the ‘Verdant Mountain’ law to its limit and made sufficient preparations, killing Nun Dairou at that time would mean the family gaining a Body Integration almighty expert.
One must know, the family had paid quite a price to demand a living Nun Dairou from the hands of the three Body Integration experts.
At the very least, both of Nun Dairou’s Spirit Treasures had been pletely handed over.
In addition to that, the family had also used the scandal of Crown Prince Fei Heng as a threat, which was how they ultimately obtained Nun Dairou.
Now, apart from teasing Nun Dairou, Li Kuanghua was also prehending the Dao laws upon her body.
[Your descendant Li Kuanghua is currently prehending the law of the ‘Rebirth’ Dao.
Using the Martial Dao Bodhisattva Body, she is borrowing the power of the Heavenly Principle Hall to erect Martial Dao Bodhisattva statues in temples across the world.
By casting Spiritual power upon the Bodhisattva statues, she assists all living beings in cultivating their physiques.
Subsequently, after the cultivators die, she reclaims their physical strength to feed back into her own body.]
[Your descendant Li Kuanghua can sense the temples where the Bodhisattva statues are located through the Martial Dao Bodhisattva Body statues, granting the Buddha statues new Spiritual power.]
It had to be said, this thing called the faith power of all living beings was quite heaven-defying.
Being a Divinity Transformation expert truly made one a god in the eyes of the mortal world.
For example, Li Yaozu’s trait back then, and Li Yaowen’s ‘Fortune Telling’—these were actually all methods of collecting the faith power of all living beings.
It was just that, generally speaking, passing down teachings to mortals through these techniques often required the cultivator to put in the effort, and the time for a return on investment was simply too long.
Li Wei could also set up Arhat statues, but he had no intention of doing so.
He looked at his own Dao Gate.
At this time, the Daoist techniques of Dharma Master Hongzhen were on the Dao Gate, yet Li Wei frowned incessantly.
“This Dao… is cut off.”
Li Wei pondered for a long time.
When they arrived at the Dusheng Nunnery, Dharma Master Hongzhen had already vanished without a trace.
At that time, Dharma Master Hongzhen had already collected a considerable amount of faith power from all living beings.
Whether Dharma Master Hongzhen had actually broken through, or if that Dao path had long been occupied by someone else, he truly had no way of investigating.
“Then I’ll try prehending Verdant Mountain.”
Li Wei grinned. Nun Dairou was right here. He only needed to prehend it slowly and have Yaoqing prepare some medicinal pills to enhance prehension.
He then left the matters of the war in Shadowfell Prefecture to Li Yaozu and his two sons to decide.
However, in the event log, many major family matters that he hadn’t had time to pay attention to these past days caught Li Wei’s eye.
[Under the leadership of your descendant Li Jianshu, more and more cultivators are arriving in the Azure Cloud Prefecture, and the Azure Cloud Prefecture is producing increasingly frequent natural spiritual items.
Contradictions have gradually emerged among the major factions within the Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Following Huang Xiujin’s suggestion, your family has decided to launch an attack against the Sea Race.]
[Your descendant Li Zhiheng, with the help of the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart and the family’s medicinal pills, has broken through to the Void Refinement realm!]
[Your descendant Li Zhijing requests the family’s assistance. She discovered a dragon in the Northern Frontier and hopes to swallow the dragon to break through her realm…]
