Nearly a hundred children of the Li family all went to Eternal Sun Prefecture. Eternal Sun Prefecture was vast; their entry was as inconspicuous as a grain of sand. But just to be safe, Li Changsheng still utilized the power of the Hall of Heavenly Principle to arrange clean identities for them.
Perhaps a lucky person who had lived peacefully their whole life, obtained a cultivation opportunity in a small village, and stepped onto the cultivation path. Or an orphan left behind by a destroyed cultivation aristocratic family, striving to move upward. Or even a reformed prodigal who had once become a bandit but possessed extraordinary talent and wanted to change their life...
According to Li Changsheng's arrangements, these children needed to hide for at least three to five years to ensure their identities wouldn't be discovered. During these three to five years, all members had to start over, cultivating some mortal or Yellow-rank techniques and martial arts.
"Ancestor, these three to five years, besides hiding their identities, are also a method to temper their natures," Li Changsheng explained when Li Wei inquired. "Willingly living hidden in ordinariness will make them more restrained. Advancing step by step as if from being mortals, their character can also be improved."
This explanation also made Li Wei feel more assured about letting Li Changsheng command the mission.
Only one year passed, and these little fellows who went out had already acquired strange traits.
[Your descendant Li Changdi, hiding his identity selling meat in a small town of Eternal Sun Prefecture, acquired trait: Pork Butcher]
[Temper +20%, Killing Intent +5%, Deterrence effect against ghost-type beings +30%]
...
[Your descendant Li Kuanglang, under the identity of a student from a poor family, studies in Brightmoor City. He writes good poetry, lingers all day in places of pleasure writing poetry for brothel women, and makes a living this way. Acquired trait: The Brothel Women's Moonlit Dream]
[When cultivating the literary path in brothels, Comprehension +5%. Favorability of brothel women towards him +50%]
...
[Your descendant Li Changming, at the martial arts hall in a town of Eternal Sun Prefecture, was discovered to have extraordinary cultivation. Suspected of harboring ulterior motives, he was hunted down. Seriously injured along the way, his cultivation base was completely lost, and both his eyes were ruined. He refused treatment from you and the family, joining the Heavenly Blade Sect with his crippled body. Acquired trait: Blind Bladesman]
[Acuity +100%, Perception of Danger +50%]
...
Looking at the recent situations of these children, Li Wei suddenly felt that their brilliance had actually been obscured by the Li family elders all along, from childhood up. Look at them now that they were out—every one of them possessed real skills. Thinking carefully, it really was like this: every person in the world is a unique existence; if observed carefully, they all have their own extraordinary aspects.
There was one place, however, that was most unusual.
It was an extremely powerful sect, located deep within the mountains. The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy there was even denser than in Merit City, and there were also eight floating islands in the sky.
[Clear Wind Sect]
This was the sect of the Divinity Transformation cultivator who had injured Li Yaozu back then.
Right now, not far from their ancestral graves, inside a most inconspicuous small mountain cave, two people were meditating. Dust and cobwebs already covered their bodies, and there were even spiders crawling on them.
[Your descendants Li Tianyi and Li Tianqi have staked out the Clear Wind Sect for nearly two years, but see that the Clear Wind Sect's Divinity Transformation stage ancestor's Spirit is constantly vigilant, making it difficult to find an opportunity to enter the Clear Wind Sect. They never give up and secretly resolve that whether it takes ten or twenty years, they must dig up the Clear Wind Sect's ancestral graves and seize the Clear Wind Sect's treasure vault. Acquired trait: Patience]
[Patience increased by 5%]
"Big Brother, if only Tianming were here. That kid has lots of tricky ideas; we wouldn't have to just wait endlessly like this." Li Tianqi casually slapped dead a spider beside them that, nourished by ambient spiritual power, had cultivated to the Qi Refining stage.
In the past, Li Tianqi was extremely afraid of Li Tianming; that kid was practically his childhood trauma. After learning of Li Tianming's perverse behavior, who knows how many of the Tian generation slept with one eye open for a long time afterward. But right now, if Li Tianming were here, how could things be this difficult?
"Who knew this Eternal Sun Prefecture territory would be so difficult to operate in?"
Li Tianyi was also a bit frustrated. Eternal Sun Prefecture was far more formidable than they had imagined; their cultivation systems were more comprehensive. The defensive systems of the Clear Wind Sect, like formations, talismans, and such, were like an impenetrable wall.
Previously, he had also taken Li Tianqi to dig up the ancestral graves of a Nascent Soul aristocratic family. They had only been digging for two days before being hunted across the entire city... Li Tianqi took advantage of the chaos to go to their treasure vault but only managed to steal treasures from the outer area; he didn't even break through the formations inside before being discovered again.
