Returning from outside, he sat on his bed, gazing at the enormous screen.
Time in the game was still accelerating.
Li Wei stroked the storage ring in his hand. It contained the gains from his recent outing. His descendants were striving, and he was also doing everything he could to improve.
He gradually realized that as he watched his descendants develop in the game, his own intelligence was also slowly increasing, allowing him to handle situations he couldn't have managed before.
For example, facing Grandma Ling. If it were before, he would definitely have hidden until he was strong enough to survive an encounter with her before daring to go out. Now... he suspected that if he had Li Yaowen's level of intelligence, he could even kill Grandma Ling silently and without a trace.
"Whew."
Li Wei let out a long breath, pushing those thoughts aside. Looking at the time and event log on the screen, he smiled.
[Year 109]
Before he knew it, eight hours had passed since he left his room.
During these years, the Li family had also been living in peace.
The event log recorded the struggles and achievements of his family members.
Li Dalong was still in the family's ancestral hall, having been lying in the Heaven-Piercing Coffin for many years.
Within a secret realm, surrounded by fox shadows, Xu Cuihua was becoming more and more beautiful.
Li Yaozu was still wandering the world with his sword, having even left the Azure Cloud region. His black martial arts attire was worn and old, only his sword case remaining pristine. The stubble on his face spoke of the many hardships he had endured.
Within the Thunderfire Cave, the traces of the three children's past training still remained. The sound of hammering that had annoyed the demon cultivators was gone, replaced only by the sight of Li Yaotie tirelessly working in his scorching hot cave, constructing a giant puppet.
The number of zombies in the cave was steadily increasing. They were neatly arranged in rows, their eyes open, which was quite frightening. But in truth, they were all spirit puppets!
Above another cave, Li Yaoqing was once again being lifted by a tree. She still wore the mask from before, and her clothes were tightly wrapped around her body. The entire cave glowed, and spiritual energy converged from all directions.
A palace had been erected on the border between the Thunderfire Cave and the Demon Subduing Alliance.
Li Yunbing sat on the throne, like an emperor, listening to the constant reports from both the demon cultivators and the righteous cultivators within the hall.
At some point, the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord, who had been inside the Heaven-Piercing, had left the Li family.
Although its eyes were still scarlet, half of its corpse-like body had recovered. Its dark skin was covered with various mysterious inscriptions, and some rough handsomeness could be seen.
Behind him, followed by seven dark-skinned men and women, five men built like black bears and two women as agile as cheetahs, their brows perpetually furrowed.
This group of eight followed closely behind Li Yaowen.
Li Yaowen now appeared even younger, her charm still evident, making it clear what a breathtaking beauty she must have been in her youth.
At this moment, Li Yaowen was holding a book, continuously reciting the principles of Heaven and the Great Dao. Golden characters emerged and swirled around her, gradually influencing and weakening the demonic energy within the eight figures.
In the main hall of the Skyveil Sect, Li Yunlin, his face covered in stubble, sat boldly on the Sect Master's seat, drinking from a wine gourd. "I have obtained everything I once desired," he declared with a laugh. "But which of these did I earn through my own efforts? Instead, I've only caused trouble, hahaha! Perhaps I shouldn't have come to the Skyveil Sect in the first place!"
...
On a mountaintop, two men and a woman appeared, all three with disheveled hair and beards.
The leader had a deep gaze, clearly a mature and composed individual. However, his attire of animal hides made him look like a wild man. He closed his eyes, sensing everything within the mountain, and said, "Kuanghua, Kuangtu, I heard that Eldest Uncle is robbing a grave here. There's an ancient aura within the tomb; it seems dangerous."
"What dangers haven't we faced over the years?" Li Kuanghua retorted. "Could there be anything more dangerous than cultivating alongside Uncle Tianming?"
Although she had grown up, Li Kuanghua was still petite and delicate, barely reaching 1.5 meters in height, with a small chest. She wore a yellow dress and had her hair tied in pigtails, looking utterly adorable. "In three years, it will be Elder Brother's time to compete," she said. "Eldest Uncle will give us one final lesson. Once we've mastered our skills, we'll kill all the geniuses in Azure Cloud region, and even those from other county cities!"
"I'd like to see which bastard dares to try and steal Elder Brother's wife."
Compared to Li Kuangren's maturity and Li Kuanghua's wildness, Li Kuangtu, with his handsome looks, was not so rough. He appeared rather refined and spoke gently, "Sister, even Fourth Great-grandaunt said, don't learn from Uncle Tianming..."
"Which eye of yours saw me learning from him?" Li Kuanghua retorted. "This is what Aunt Tianyue told me. When she was at the Liu family, she said that we must be ruthless. If we don't beat those bastards into submission, the trouble will never end!"
Li Kuanghua picked her nose.
Startled, Li Kuangtu quickly dodged to the side, afraid that his elder sister would flick her booger at him again. "Sister!" he exclaimed, "just a few days ago, a young master was pursuing you. If he knew how disgusting you were, he would be devastated!"
"He couldn't have had a breakdown, didn't Elder Brother tell you?" Li Kuanghua asked doubtfully.
"Huh?"
Li Kuangren paused, his brow furrowing slightly. "Oh, I remember now," he said. "That boy had ill intentions. He was going to use some kind of Love Potion, but I found out."
"Kuanghua castrated him overnight, stripped him naked, pierced his shoulder blades, and hung him at the city gate for public display."
"...."
Li Kuangtu glanced at his elder sister, who appeared unconcerned, his face darkening. Just how many people had been deceived by his sister's pitiful appearance?
In front of the screen, Li Wei also gaped, feeling a bit of regret that he had missed such a scene.
