As that day passed, the members of the Li family all entered closed-door cultivation.
The extent of what Li Wei could see was limited to the Li family's residence. He would occasionally take walks, and just like before, he could see information about the family on the translucent panel in front of him.
Nowadays, in the Li family's residence, one could sometimes see members of the Wu Clan - those brought by Li Kuangtu.
He handled it very well. Although they were cooperating with the Wu Clan, the Li family members hadn't lost their pride. When facing ordinary members of the Wu Clan, he had plenty of ways to deal with them.
Li Wei also saw Guan Tian's true body arrive at the Li family.
He resisted the urge to return to reality and, together with his clan members, kill that old bastard.
They needed Guan Tian alive.
Soon, a year passed.
[Year 131 of the Li Family]
[Your descendant Li Kuangtu, leading members of the Wu Clan, went to persuade the Skyveil Sect to surrender. Your descendant Li Yunlin received the news in advance. Due to the unknown whereabouts of Supreme Elder Daoist Jiuyou, they were unable to resist. He had no choice but to take the majority of the disciples and leave with the Skyveil Hall. Some of the elders and disciples who insisted on resisting to the end remained behind and detonated the sect's headquarters.]
While reading this message, Li Wei was also looking at his own Golden Core.
Within the Golden Core, the rudimentary form of the Nascent Soul had already taken shape. That was also the Nascent Soul that would soon roam the heavens and the earth!
In this great war, the entire Azure Cloud region was undergoing a great tribulation. Only the Li family remained safe and unharmed.
The clansmen this year also seemed to have forgotten everything that had happened before.
Within the family, they continued their cultivation as usual, doing everything possible to increase their cultivation base.
The translucent screen in front of him caught Li Wei's attention.
[The family's guardian spirit beast is undergoing a transformation. It requests that you allow the clan members to take it to another location to await the arrival of the heavenly tribulation!]
"The Thunder Flame Fury Python? It's about to transform?"
A hint of joy appeared on Li Wei's face. Ever since the Thunder Flame Fury Python had devoured that demon king which was about to transform into a flood dragon, it had grown feelers. Its next step was to transform into a flood dragon! For demonic beasts, that was also the Form Transformation stage!
As the saying goes, "Any species with the word 'dragon' in its name is extraordinary."
Overjoyed, Li Wei had it summon some clan members to stand guard for it.
Immediately after, The members of the Li family and the Thunder Flame Fury Python arrived at the ancestral hall.
The clan members looked at the Thunder Flame Fury Python with excitement, but their eyes still held a hint of worry.
"Guardian spirit beast, where do you plan to undergo your tribulation?"
Li Dalong's expression was solemn. With his many years of cultivation, he knew full well the terror of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. Many cultivators, even after forming their nascent spirit, still dared not break their core and face the Heavenly Tribulation. Those below the Earth Core stage rarely ever survived the thunder tribulation.
The Thunder Flame Fury Python was also exceptionally solemn. "I should still go to the Thunderfire Demon Cave. Although the power of thunder and fire there is somewhat weak, it can at least provide me with a little assistance and give me a slightly better chance of success."
As it spoke, it laughed, "If I don't make it back alive, please find a more powerful guardian spirit beast for the master."
The members of the Li family remained silent for a long time.
Li Yaowen suddenly said, "Don't go to the Thunderfire Demon Cave. How about this: I have a place called 'Coldstone Valley.' The power of the ice and rock there can withstand some of the heavenly tribulation's power."
"This..."
The Thunder Flame Fury Python seemed to understand something. Its eyes narrowed, "That Coldstone Valley should be the place you prepared for your own tribulation, right? I can't..."
Before it could finish speaking.
Li Yaowen smiled, "It's fine. Your contributions to the family are clear for all to see. When it's time for my tribulation, I have my own methods. If I don't allow it to fall, it won't dare!"
Although the Thunder Flame Fury Python had its doubts, seeing Li Yaowen's determined expression, it still left with the Li family members.
For this trip, Li Yaoqing, Xuan Tianzi, and a few other clan members were going along. With them present, and given that it was already a remote location, it was sufficient.
Before they departed, Li Dalong presented it with a supreme-grade spirit artifact from the family treasury to help it withstand the thunder tribulation.
"..."
Li Wei roughly understood Li Yaowen's words. It seemed that only he could see it. Above Li Yaowen's head, the thunder rumbled on, and below were countless souls... If the lightning were to strike, it would first have to kill these countless souls.
...
The days of cultivation always passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, two years went by.
Li Wei comprehended a portion of the laws of the wood element, which was also the source energy of the Primordial Blood Tree. Afterward, he entered the ground inch by inch and cultivated beside the Rootless Soul Soil. There was no better place to comprehend the laws of the earth's elements.
In the spare moments when he opened his eyes, he also watched the development of his descendants. Because everyone was focused on their cultivation, there weren't many extraneous events, and almost everything was related to cultivation.
[Year 133 of the Li Family]
[Your descendant Li Kuangtu is in closed-door cultivation, using a sword formation and the Earth-rank technique to temper his Earth Core!]
[Li Dalong, after accumulating for a long time, has broken through to the peak of the Golden Core stage!]
[After the last great battle, Li Tianyi has become increasingly proficient in using the power of the Nascent Soul stage. With the help of many of the old grandpas, he has gradually risen to the middle stage of the Golden Core.]
While the descendants were diligently cultivating, two pieces of information seemed particularly out of place.
[Your descendant Li Tianniu is diligently practicing the "Dual Cultivation Arts" and has impregnated his Dao companion, who is now expecting a daughter...]
[After rigorous cultivation, Li Changsheng, at the age of 41, finally had his cultivation base drop to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment...]
Never mind Li Tianniu.
That guy, ever since he came back, he's been completely indulging in sensual pleasures... no, he's always been indulging in sensual pleasures. Recently, he's had four children with his Dao companions, and two more are pregnant.
It seems like he's quietly trying to expand the family's size.
As for Li Changsheng?
Li Wei raised his head slightly. This strange fellow, 41 years old, yet showing no signs of aging, was lying on the Primordial Blood Tree, asleep.
This kid was different from the others!
[Your descendant Li Changsheng, from the 'Human Emperor's Blood,' has comprehended the Heaven-rank technique "Human Emperor's Dream Return." Usable by those who possess the Human Emperor's Blood. The Human Emperor's Dream Return's technique, From the peak of Foundation Establishment, he fell to the state of a mortal. With this, the great Technique can be achieved!]
Li Wei's mouth watered.
"Work hard, children. Later, when we capture a Human Emperor and draw his blood, we'll be able to practice this technique!"
