[Primordial Blood Tree]
[Rank: Seventh Grade]
[Abilities: Fruiting, Omen, Blood Boundary Formation...]
Li Wei was also observing the Primordial Blood Tree. Due to the events surrounding the Pig Demon King, he hadn't had the time to pay attention to the tree's growth.
[Fruiting: It blossoms and bears fruit every hundred years, and all blood trees of the Li family are its offspring. It bears twenty Primordial Fruits, which greatly increase spiritual energy and randomly enhance one's spiritual root value.]
[Omen: It can reveal a glimpse of the fate line of a Li family descendant, limited to one use. If its power of omen is used again, it will consume a vast amount of blood essence and life force, shortening one's lifespan.]
[Blood Boundary Formation: Possesses the power of a seventh-grade formation.]
The Primordial Blood Tree scanned the Seven Sons of the Iron Gate, listening to Li Yundou's words.
Its eyes turned towards the ancestral hall.
[The Primordial Blood Tree asks you, should it answer?]
[Yes]
Li Wei made his choice without hesitation.
Having received a response, The Primordial Blood Tree's voice was deep and low.
"Seven Sons, united in purpose, perhaps you should go to Emerald Pines Temple. There is a bronze bell there; ring it."
The seven exchanged glances, then bowed to the Primordial Blood Tree.
They all glanced at the numerous descendants behind them, but said nothing. They knew that these youngsters should understand. If, in the face of such events, the younger generation couldn't motivate themselves to move forward and cultivate diligently, then they would truly have to question whether they were their true descendants.
After exchanging a few words with the younger generation, they left home.
Then, one by one, the youngsters stepped forward.
Their eyes were red-rimmed, and they possessed an unyielding tenacity, like that of a demonic beast. Although they had never faced hardships, the Pig Demon King's teachings throughout their lives had already left a deep impact on them.
They, too, inquired of the Primordial Blood Tree.
The Primordial Blood Tree could clearly see that the earth would be drenched in blood in the coming days. So they hoped that some of the blood on this earth would be that of the enemies they slayed. Perhaps this was the only thing they could do for Old Pig.
To let Old Pig know that his descendants had never disgraced him, nor had they disgraced the family and their ancestors!
Their anger should be like a spark that starts a prairie fire!
"Li Tianshuang, have you made up your mind?"
"I have!"
"Then you should head to the swampy jungle in the nearby Southern Barbarian Lands. I have seen it, and I have heard it. Your body is bleeding, and you are wailing in pain."
"I, Li Tianqi, have also made up my mind!"
"The Lake of Sinking Hearts... you may never return."
"Li Tianyue!"
"Go, hide your name and marry into the Liu family of Azure Cloud region. You will kill your husband."
"..."
One by one, the descendants of the Li family accepted the future revealed by the Primordial Blood Tree's omen. Such a future was fraught with danger, yet they still chose to face it bravely, without a single one backing down!
Li Wei watched in silence.
On this day, these descendants of the Li family, who had never experienced hardship, grew up overnight. They were fearless, truly becoming what the Pig Demon King had hoped they would be.
Perhaps they didn't inherit the Pig Demon King's bloodline, but each of them inherited his memories and his will!
Just as they had always picked themselves up after every fall since childhood, just as they had straightened their own noses after being broken by their siblings, they faced their destinies with unwavering resolve.
On this night, Li Dalong and Xu Cuihua stood in the ancestral hall.
They handed the ancestral tablets to the children one by one, watching as they tucked them close to their hearts and bid farewell to their families before leaving home. Though the children might die on their quest for power, the couple remained comforted.
Li Dalong bowed towards the Pig Demon King's memorial tablet. "Old Pig, you see, none of my Li family children are cowards. Your wish for the Li family children to fill the Silver Iron Forest will come true one day. But before that..."
"The children of the Li family will achieve endless glory, filling the Silver Iron Forest with their accomplishments, right before your tomb."
"I swear to you, in the afterlife, you can proudly boast to anyone that you raised these children."
Then, he knelt and bowed before the ancestral tablet. "Ancestor, your children will not disappoint you either. They are leading the entire Li family forward, striving for the future! Any enemy will bleed beneath the feet of the Li family!"
On this night, the spouses of these children stood outside the house, watching their husbands and wives depart with tears in their eyes. Some had initially tried to stop their loved ones from leaving, but they no longer resisted, for the departing family members had said that there once was a kind elder in the Silver Iron Forest who wished for them to become eagles, to become hounds.
They should be even stronger than that. Become dragons, become tigers! They are proud members of the Li family. Even if they cannot be proper husbands and wives in the future, they ask their families to forgive them, for they are the children who grew up on the Pig Demon King's back!
