"As expected of an inheritance left by a Mahayana stage cultivator!"
Xuan Tianzi, who was once so high and mighty, attempting to annihilate the Li family, had become a zombie!
[Your descendant, Li Dalong, who has been collecting the corpses of his enemies for many years, is currently refining them using the 'Heaven-Piercing Coffin Corpse Control Technique' and the 'Soul-Summoning Calamity Formation'!]
[He has taken control of Xuan Tianzi's zombie. After both her soul and body were captured, Xuan Tianzi is left with only her physical strength, comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator. Acquired: Zombie King!]
[Using the 'Heaven-Piercing Coffin Corpse Control Technique' and the Heavenly Zombie Refinement method, your descendant, Li Dalong, is trying to make Xuan Tianzi even more powerful. Sacrifices used: 1 million hearts of the deceased, 200,000 cultivator skeletons, cultivator souls...]
A Zombie King is equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator, while a Heavenly Zombie is equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Li Dalong had always only refined ordinary zombies and corpses because refining high-level Zombie Kings or even Heavenly Zombies required various materials, and the refining process was extremely complex.
After two years of refinement, Xuan Tianzi has finally gained rudimentary sentience and is now under the control of the Li family!
"Another trump card acquired."
Li Wei almost couldn't help but laugh. He also marveled at the terrifying potential of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin inheritance after witnessing Li Dalong control Xuan Tianzi.
He could already foresee that if the zombies within the Heaven-Piercing Coffin and the souls collected over the years were all unleashed upon the world, the Li family's enemies would surely have trouble sleeping peacefully.
Li Wei also sensed that as Li Dalong continued to refine zombies and souls, his spiritual power was steadily increasing. It probably wouldn't be long before he broke through to the mid-stage of Golden Core!
...
Just as he was rejoicing over Xuan Tianzi being under their control, Li Wei blinked.
"What's going on?"
A notification window popped up on the screen!
[Congratulations! Feng Mi has given birth to a son for the Li family. He has not yet been given a name by the family elders. Please bring the child to the ancestral hall as soon as possible to give him a name.]
[Incense merit points +3 acquired!]
"Which little rascal secretly had a child without telling me???"
Li Wei scratched his head frantically. In recent years, the Li family descendants had been busy developing and growing stronger. Even Li Tianniu, the biggest womanizer, had been very discreet in his romantic escapades, using "fish bubbles"... No one in the family had gotten married in a long time, so where did this child come from?
And who was Feng Mi???
For a moment, Li Wei didn't know whether to be happy about the birth of a new descendant or angry about it.
He searched the entire family estate, clicking on the icons of each Li family member, but couldn't find this child anywhere. Since the child didn't even have a name, they weren't even on the member list. And without being married, Feng Mi couldn't be clicked on either!
"Ah? Where did this child come from?"
This completely baffled Li Wei.
On this day, all the adult descendants of the Li family scattered throughout the Azure Cloud region looked up, dumbfounded, as the ancestral tablet floated up and a question appeared in mid-air.
[Do you know Feng Mi?]
[Did you recently have a baby?]
The news frightened Xu Cuihua so much that she almost emerged from the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm to demand an explanation from Li Dalong. Meanwhile, in the Thunderfire Cave, Li Yaotie, who was busy forging, frantically explained the situation to Bai Rourou.
It took half a month before they received news from Li Yaowen. Her intelligence network was working tirelessly.
"Ancestor, there aren't many people with the surname Feng in the Azure Cloud region."
A rare look of concern appeared on Li Yaowen's face. "I don't know how Kuangren got involved with such a powerful figure," she said.
As Li Yaowen explained in detail, a notification window appeared on the screen.
[Special Event - The Fifth-Generation Descendant Living Outside]
[Year 91: Your descendant, Li Kuangren, at the age of 15, while purchasing items for Green Valley Town at the Sky Jade region auction house, met the young princess of the Jun Prince's Mansion, Feng Mi, who was using the alias "Nuan Nuan." Li Kuangren befriended her. With his chivalrous demeanor, taking Li Yaozu as his role model, despite his ordinary appearance, he deeply attracted Feng Mi.]
[Feng Mi was 17 years old. The two were in the midst of their youthful innocence. The night before Feng Mi returned to the manor, she bid farewell to Li Kuangren. That night, in the inn, thin gauze covered the candlelight, and beaded curtains reflected their silhouettes. Whispers filled the bedchamber, and the shy moon hid behind the clouds. After that night, the young couple parted ways. Feng Mi returned to the manor with her guards, and the two made a promise to be together when they grew up.]
[Year 92: No one knew that Feng Mi had given birth to a son. The Jun Prince was furious and placed Feng Mi, who refused to reveal the child's father, under house arrest. Feng Mi threatened to take her own life, and the child was spared.]
"....."
Li Wei remained silent. His descendants had always been quite capable in combat.
He was just about to have Li Yaowen go and propose marriage.
Li Yaowen spoke up. "Ancestor," she said, "this matter is quite intriguing. The Jun Prince's Mansion remained silent even after the child was born. I'm afraid there's another reason behind this."
"That girl, Feng Mi, didn't dare tell the Jun Prince's Mansion that the child's father is a member of our Li family. However, I believe that Jun Prince Feng Qingyang probably already knows."
Hearing this, Li Wei also frowned.
He searched for the Jun Prince's Mansion on the map and obtained information about it.
The Jun Prince's Mansion was also the protector of the Southern Barbarian Lands.
The Jun Prince's Mansion had existed since the time Azure Cloud region was given its name. They were different from those city magistrates and town heads controlled by the sects. Most of the tax revenue from the entire Azure Cloud region went to the Jun Prince's Mansion, and they were protected by the imperial court.
They were also quite unique. For hundreds of thousands of years, they hadn't bothered with the affairs of Azure Cloud region, content with just sitting idle and enjoying life.
The only time they took action was tens of thousands of years ago when a reckless Nascent Soul family dared to challenge the Jun Prince's Mansion. The result... in a single night, the King of Hell recorded their family lineage in his book of the dead.
Regardless of the Jun Prince's Mansion's strength, considering that a 15-year-old boy from the Li family impregnated a 17-year-old girl from their family, the Li family was clearly in the wrong.
Li Wei informed Li Dalong about the situation.
A moment later...
Li Dalong jumped out of the coffin in anger.
