But soon, everyone understood why Li Zhiyue had beco so calm.
"What!? You're saying you want to enter the Boundless Sea, to kill the Water Devil and avenge Li Shiting!?"
"No way!" Seeing Li Zhiyue with a face like frost and emanating an icy aura, Li Shiqing decisively refused, pleading with her: "You must understand, within the Monohorn Behemoth clan there are fourth-order, and even fifth-order Great Devils; though you've broken through to the Golden Core, you would still be like a moth to a fla, seeking your own demise!"
"Moreover, Shiting wouldn't want you to be consud by hatred, and even lose your life over it," Li Shilian also persuaded from the side.
Li Zhiyue not only hadn't accepted Li Shiting's death, but it had also beco an obsession. She blad the death of Li Shiting entirely on the Monohorn Behemoth clan.
"Zhiyue begs you, Uncle!" Li Zhiyue knelt down resolutely, with a determined face she said, "If you don't agree, I will kneel here and not rise!"
Receiving the ssage and rushing over in a hurry, Li Zhirui scolded in a low voice: "Li Zhiyue, do you think you're the only one in the family who wishes to avenge auntie Ting?! The only one who is grieving over auntie Ting's demise!?"
"What difference is there between seeking revenge on the Monohorn Behemoth clan with your current strength and seeking death?"
Li Zhirui's tone was very harsh as he coldly said: "Your death would settle the matter for you, but if we offend the entire Whale Clan, wouldn't they take action against our family?"
"Have you considered the lives of the other thousands in our family, the lives of nearly a million mortals on the island?"
Li Zhiyue was at a loss for words, her eyes vacant, like a puppet devoid of any spiritual intelligence.
Li Shilian beca anxious in his heart and was about to speak up in comfort but was pulled by Li Shiqing, who shook his head and signaled him not to interrupt Li Zhirui.
Li Zhirui did not let her off the hook and continued, "Do you think that by leaving the family, you won't implicate the nurous clansn? How many spiritual objects did you consu over the decades of your cultivation? If you really want to sever ties with the family, shouldn't you return these spiritual objects?"
In his urgency, he could think of no other way but to use a mix of benefit and provocation, hoping that maybe it would snap Li Zhiyue out of her grief.
But if she didn't co to her senses, Li Zhiyue's conviction would likely be destroyed because of this!
As for the outco? Even Li Zhirui couldn't tell, it was up to Li Zhiyue herself.
Fortunately, in the end, the worst did not happen, and Li Zhiyue woke up from her grief, no longer fixated on avenging Li Shiting.
"Jiu is right, with my current strength, I wouldn't be able to avenge auntie Ting, and instead would implicate many clan mbers." Saying this, Li Zhiyue bowed to the two elders at the head of the room, "Zhiyue has been offensive today, please forgive , two family grandfathers."
Li Shiqing looked into her eyes intently for a few monts, knowing that Li Zhiyue had not let go but had rely buried it deep in her heart, he sighed inwardly and managed a smile: "It's good that you've co to understand, now go back and rest."
"Zhiyue takes her leave!"
After she left, Li Shiqing said with a wry smile, "In the end, this is her heart's obsession and it won't be easily resolved."
It seed like Li Zhiyue was already over it, but they all knew that it was only being temporarily suppressed, and if it erupted again, the situation would be even more serious than now!
Li Zhirui also felt helpless, knowing that achieving this result was already very good; at least it didn't let her fall into complete dejection, shattering her conviction.
"Enough, everyone has their own destiny; let her be," he said. With those words, Li Shiqing beca visibly more deflated and slowly turned to enter the inner chamber.
Witnessing a descendant, who should have been outstanding, end up trapped in the mire and henceforth having a bleak future, the blow to him was indeed trendous.
After bidding farewell to Li Shilian, Li Zhirui returned to his cave dwelling. Faced with Jiang Fengwu's questions, he rely said two sentences.
"After our child is born, we must enforce strict discipline and focus on nurturing their temperant."
But Li Zhirui was also aware that, faced with the death of one's closest kin, it is rare for anyone to keep calm; after all, they weren't cultivating the path of heartlessness. It's just that Li Zhiyue's reaction was too extre, too uncomposed.
anwhile, the unborn child in Jiang Fengwu's belly could hardly imagine that it would experience a 'miserable' childhood.
Ti is the ultimate healer. The sadness the war brought to the Li family had gradually been forgotten by the people, as all clan mbers kept moving forward.
Especially now that they controlled both Yunping State and Guangqing State, the family's inco reached new heights this year, steadily enriching the family's foundation.
The original plan of the Li family to use their Island Moving Divine Ability to fill the sea between Yunping State and Wanxian Island with land ca to a halt.
Firstly, because there weren't many islands nearby, necessitating transportation from great distances.
Secondly, the sea itself served as a barrier, as seen when Yunping State faced an insect disaster but the Li family remained unaffected, after all, to cultivators, a re distance of over two hundred li could be easily crossed with the help of a flying artifact, even by Qi cultivators.
Inside the mountain, ti passes unnoticed; with spring going and autumn coming, ti flew by quickly, and two years had passed!
During these two years, many significant events happened within the Li family, such as the consecutive birth of two dual spiritual root geniuses.
One of them possessed the Wind-Thunder Dual Unique Spiritual Roots, arguably the most talented mber in the Li family's history. He was the twelfth generation 'Xue' in the family, and Li Shiqing personally nad him Li Xuezao.
Beyond that, three clan mbers with special spiritual bodies were born, whose cultivation speeds were not much inferior to those with dual spiritual roots when combined with corresponding Spiritual Roots.
It can be said that in a few decades, the Li family will see a surge of clan mbers capable of achieving Core Formation, pushing the family's strength to a higher level.
Another recent event was that Li Zhirui's second spirit beast, Xiaoqing, successfully braved the Thunder Tribulation and advanced to the third order!
With this, the Li family now boasted five Golden Core cultivators—Li Zhirui, Li Shiqing, Li Shilian, Li Zhiyue, Jiang Fengwu—and two third-order spirit beasts, Da Qing and Xiaoqing.
Such power was enough to dominate the eastern part under the rule of Shen Leishan.
After Xiaoqing's breakthrough, the mana feedback to Li Zhirui once again saved him five to six years of cultivation ti.
However, even so, he was still a long way from reaching the Golden Core Late Stage. After all, in the Golden Core Realm, accumulating enough mana wasn't sufficient to break through.
Last but not least, a very important event occurred for Li Zhirui!
That was the child Jiang Fengwu had been carrying for more than two years was about to be born!
Nobody expected Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu's child to be conceived for such a long ti, gestating for as many as twenty months, compared to the ten months of human pregnancy!
If it weren't for Jiang Fengwu not feeling too burdened, Li Zhirui would have considered a cesarean delivery to let the baby be born sooner.
