[Special Event – Li Yaoqing's Heavenly Tribulation]
[Your descendant Li Yaoqing, has encountered the Supreme Heavenly Tribulation. Your family faces three Wu Clan Divisions, and the road ahead is fraught with danger, yet your family still advances dauntlessly!]
As the event unfolded, the entire Li family sprang into action!
They were silent and still, carrying ancestral spirit tablets, dispersing in all directions like specters. Under Li Yunbing's strategic planning, every important member had their own task.
The Li family residence, however, had invited a Nascent Soul Stage Ancestor from Feng's Mansion to help guard the home. Only Li Tianniu's family remained at the residence, frantically making babies, and those children were also cultivating desperately.
It was Li Changyao, however, whose reputation was growing ever more renowned. In the Azure Cloud region, countless young talents had fallen to her 'Shoo-Shoo Pink Bow,' and it's estimated that those defeated would be unable to lift their heads for a long time to come.
[Your descendant Li Changyao, has defeated many prodigies. Now, throughout the Azure Cloud region, geniuses tremble at the mention of her name, and all flee at the sight of anything pink. Acquired Trait: Pink Bane]
[As long as the disparity in cultivation is not excessive, the likelihood of opponents fleeing rises. During battle, the opponent's mental pressure is amplified by 100%!]
"It seems our family's younger generation has grown up, hmm... I suppose it counts as growth."
Watching the scene on the screen of Li Changyao carrying her longbow and searching for opponents everywhere, Li Wei appeared faintly pleased.
Looking elsewhere, at this time, the Primordial Blood Tree had already risen from the ground, no longer within the Li family's grounds, and at this moment, Li Changsheng, that kid, was still lying in the pit.
[Your descendant Li Changsheng has slept for three years and obtained the trait: Pure Heart and Few Desires]
[He has no desires or pursuits, does not pursue fame and fortune, and does not compete with others. Comprehension increased by 30%!]
At this time, Li Changsheng's cultivation level had already fallen to the early Foundation Establishment stage, and he still looked young. Li Wei also didn't know when Li Changsheng's cultivation of the "Great Dream Human Emperor Scripture"would ever end.
Seeing that the children were all safe, he was just about to switch the screen.
Li Wei was stunned. A Li family servant came running over and murmured in Li Changsheng's ear, "Young master, Second Miss's reputation is growing ever louder. News has come from Dawn. Recently, someone publicly declared that they want to battle Second Miss. They say there's a Golden Core expert behind them, seeing that Second Miss is simple-minded, they want to have his disciple defeat Second Miss, marry into our Li family, in order to profit."
"Should we…?"
The servant's face turned grim, and he made a throat-slitting gesture.
Li Changsheng didn't even open his eyes, his breathing long and steady. "Don't move. Yaoyao has also grown up; it's time she experienced the sinister side of the world. Pass down the order: let Yaoyao slowly learn of the other party's schemes, and let her personally kill them. Everything must be arranged properly; don't let my foolish sister get truly hurt."
"Yes, Young Master!" The servant smiled slightly, "Then, Young Master, will the aftermath be dealt with in the usual manner?"
"Mhm."
Li Changsheng turned over, "Spare no living thing. Make it clean, leave no trace."
The servant immediately departed. After a short while, within Merit City's Dawn Headquarters and Grey Mist Hall, numerous experts scattered in all directions.
"...Huh?"
In front of the screen, Li Wei, seeing this scene, was dumbfounded. It had been a long time since he had time to pay attention to Li Changsheng.
This kid, although he's always been sleeping in, it seems he's not completely useless. Looking again at Li Changsheng's past experiences, one of them particularly stands out.
[Your descendant Li Changsheng, in this life, has experienced countless things, and been influenced by what he has constantly seen and heard. Although he doesn't want to become like his grandfather Feng Qingyang and uncle Feng Chunlin, the children of his grandfather Li Tianniu's lineage are growing in number, and are easily deceived. The family's power is also growing ever greater, and many things that hidden elders cannot reach, like omnipresent tentacles, have entangled him.]
[He has no choice but to learn to disguise himself like his mother's family. He began to, while sleeping, secretly take over the family's forces, eliminating those greedy people who were like flies, relentlessly pestering the family in the dark.]
[Trait Acquired: Hidden Hand]
"No wonder the Li family has become the most powerful family in the Azure Cloud region, and there have been no disturbances from people with ulterior motives."
Seeing the appearance of this trait, Li Wei was surprised for quite a while, and then he revealed a gratified smile. "These children will also slowly grow up, and have already begun to silently share the pressure for the family. In that case, I can also let go and focus on monitoring the Heaven-Defying Grand Array."
....
Time passed bit by bit.
[Azure Cloud region Border]
At this time, the Azure Cloud region was still launching a counterattack. One by one, cultivators entered the Endless Forest. They began to obtain more territory and resources. Cultivators within the Azure Cloud region, without exception, flocked here, attracted by reputation. This kind of war zone also represented a large amount of resources.
At this time, the War Supervision Bureau was situated there.
The Li family was currently implementing the first step of their plan: to have the Azure Cloud region aid the Starfall Region. In that way, when the Li family seized the Heaven-Defying Grand Array, the great battle between the two sides could attract the attention of the major factions within the Starfall Region, thus relieving pressure on the Li family!
With the arrival of the War Supervision Bureau, these high-ranking officials from the imperial court have already obtained control over the major powers. At least those few Nascent Soul stage elders and experts in the Prince's Mansion have no choice but to obey the orders of the War Supervision Bureau.
Li Yunlin, Li Tianyue, and Li Kuangren were seated in the Supervision Office. The supervisor for this campaign had come from the Ministry of War of the Azure Dynasty. This individual appeared young and handsome, yet was a thousand years old. His bearing was exceedingly elegant; his name was Bai Yu. Other members of the Supervision Office for this campaign were also seated in the guest area, and Chen Qingtian was among them.
Bai Yu looked around at the assembled members of the Li family. He smiled and said, "Oh? Azure Cloud region wants to support Starfall Region. I fear that while I might have the intention, I lack the strength."
Hearing this, Chen Qingtian's expression became displeased. "Lord Bai Yu, currently, the Azure Cloud region has surplus strength, more than enough to aid the Starfall Region. This is precisely the time to eradicate the various factions within the Starfall Region. When that is done, with Starfall Region's assistance, it will benefit our Azure Dynasty's border war situation. How can you say you have the intention but lack the strength?"
"Ah, Mister Chen, you misunderstand. How could I not wish to see such a situation?"
Bai Yu sighed deeply. "It's just that Mister Chen is unaware. Some days ago, I received intelligence that the Wu Clan within the Endless Forest is preparing to make a resurgence. The Azure Cloud region is in imminent danger; it truly cannot afford to move a single soldier. The Supervision Office simply cannot rescind the order for the major powers of the Azure Cloud region to remain on the defensive. Mister Chen should understand that I am under immense pressure."
"I..."
Chen Qingtian was about to say something more, but Li Tianyue already held him back. She cupped his hands towards Bai Yu. "Since that is the case, we shall take our leave."
The Li family group had only just departed.
Bai Yu's expression turned gloomy. "How interesting. Truly worthy of being the most prestigious aristocratic family in the Azure Cloud region. I have only just arrived, and Chen Qingtian is already standing on your side. The major powers obey your commands. In the end, am I, Bai Yu, the supreme commander of the Supervision Office, or does your Li family hold the power? With a single word, you want to have Azure Cloud region support Starfall Region. Do you really take me for a mere decoration? Do you think I'm blind? You insult me too greatly!"
"Someone!" he called. "Send down the order: the Imperial City Supervision Office commands that, as the Wu Clan from the Endless Forest is about to attack, all forces are to prepare defenses and must not be negligent!"
"Yes, sir!"
