[Your descendant, Li Tianyi, aspired to become the King of Tomb Raiders. For seven years, he plundered the tombs of the Azure Cloud Pavilion's ancestors, yet he didn't find a single item of value, only encountering countless traps and mechanisms.]
[Lamenting the stinginess and unfilial nature of the Azure Cloud Pavilion disciples, he finally reached the ultimate tomb of the Azure Cloud Pavilion. He opened a grand door and found twenty-three old men floating in mid-air, their eyes wide open. In that instant, everyone was dumbfounded.]
[Through communication with the numerous fragmented souls, he learned that the Azure Cloud Pavilion had a secret tradition. When Nascent Soul cultivators approached their end, they would enter the depths of the Azure Cloud Pavilion's tomb and cultivate the Hexa-Ren Divine Calculation. Protected by the ancient formations of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, which shielded them from the secrets of heaven, their fragmented souls could avoid reincarnation. They would wait for a descendant of the Azure Cloud Pavilion to ascend to immortality, which would then extend their ancestor's lifespan and allow them to ascend as well.]
[Upon learning about the current state of the Azure Cloud Pavilion and the great calamity that had befallen them, the ancestors of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, desiring the sect's destruction and rebirth, decided to take Li Tianyi as their disciple.]
[With the assistance of the numerous elder predecessors in his cultivation, Li Tianyi purified his other spirit roots, leaving only a single wind spirit root. He broke through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, approaching the peak of Foundation Establishment! Acquired Trait: Son of Azure Cloud.]
[With guidance from numerous elder predecessors, cultivation speed increased, and the chance of encountering opportunities improved.]
"..."
Li Wei stared blankly, his mouth agape.
As the saying goes, "Fortune favors fools." Li Tianyi had been robbing graves for years, achieving nothing but loneliness, and in the end, he dug up twenty-three old men...
Especially when he looked at Li Tianyi's information panel, a cultivation technique caught Li Wei's eye. It was the Earth-grade technique, "Azure Cloud Unfallen." Even Nascent Soul cultivators would eagerly seek such an Earth-grade technique! As for the Azure Cloud Pavilion's Hexa-Ren Divine Calculation, that was the true and authentic legacy of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, but for some unknown reason, those old fellows hadn't passed it on to Li Tianyi.
Even so, this was a tremendous opportunity. Both the Skyveil Sect and Black Tortoise Sect only practiced Profound-grade techniques and martial arts.
The Azure Cloud Pavilion seemed to have Earth-grade techniques as well, but rumor had it that only the lineage of the Pavilion Master could practice them. That was precisely why Yu Xian became a target after he fled – he had taken the ancestral Earth-grade technique of the Azure Cloud Pavilion with him!
"Our Li family can finally cultivate an Earth-grade technique. This gives us a significant advantage right from the start."
Li Wei made a note of this technique, planning to distribute a copy to every member of the Li family during the next Grand Ceremony.
He also took the opportunity to assign Li Tianyi his mission for this occasion. However, due to the presence of those old geezers, Li Wei increased the difficulty level of the task.
Suddenly, Li Tianyi felt the ancestral tablet in his inner robe move!
"After all these years of grave robbing, the ancestor are finally showing his divine power!"
Li Tianyi hurriedly invited the old men back into his body. He then eagerly bowed towards the levitating ancestral tablet. "Ancestor, your child truly dug up their ancestors, even their souls!"
"Your child has avenged Grandpa Pig!"
"Now, those senior predecessors have declared me the rightful Pavilion Master of the Azure Cloud Pavilion! As long as we drive everyone out of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, it will be ours!"
"..."
Li Wei was speechless. He couldn't help but feel that this foolish boy had been brainwashed. If they were going to eliminate everyone in the Azure Cloud Pavilion anyway, what was the point of those twenty-three old geezers appointing him as the Pavilion Master?
However, Li Wei had also gleaned some information. It seemed those twenty-three old monsters were likely in a fragmented soul state, unable to take action. Their greatest contribution was assisting Li Tianyi in his cultivation.
There were benefits, after all. For instance, the Li family had gotten their hands on the "Azure Cloud Unfallen" technique for free.
Li Wei quickly dismissed these thoughts and bestowed a wave of skills upon Li Tianyi.
He issued a command using the ancestral tablet:
[At the foot of Azure Cloud Mountain, before the gates of the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion, hold an ancestral sacrifice!]
Seeing the words appear in mid-air, Li Tianyi hastily bowed.
Over the years, he and the other descendants would occasionally receive missions, and he had also learned some news about the family through the ancestral tablet.
He knew that whenever a mission arrived, it was time for the family to shed blood!
And this time, the offering desired by the ancestors was the blood of the Azure Cloud region. It would be like that day when red snow fell upon the Li family, only this time, the blood would stain the earth instead.
"This child understands!"
Li Tianyi bowed, placed the ancestral tablet back into his inner robe, and headed down Azure Cloud Mountain.
At the same time, Li family descendants throughout the Azure Cloud region received their orders.
They all stopped what they were doing and looked at the ancestral tablets before them.
Then, without hesitation, they accepted their commands.
They set off toward their designated locations.
They all knew this was a campaign of unrestrained bloodshed, even more brutal than the Xiao family elimination plan seven years ago. This was because they were no longer fighting just the Xiao family but the entire Azure Cloud region!
On this day, as snowflakes blanketed the Azure Cloud region, the Li family members, as if by prior agreement, set up their ancestral tablets before various gates and faced their enemies.
