Chapter 1077 Birth
So Li Taichang declined a little, and also had the intention of testing, but seeing Bai Weiyang's sincerity, and confirming that Dongyuan Sect really wanted to end the subordinate relationship with the family, he agreed.
Of course, Li Taichang did not think that the Li family could be on an equal footing with Dongyuan Sect in this way, and his attitude towards Bai Weiyang was still quite respectful.
After a warm reception and personally sending him off from Wanxian Mountain, Li Taichang immediately reported the matter.
After a day of practice, Li Zhirui received Li Taichang's communication talisman, and a trace of thought appeared in his eyes. After a while, he muttered to himself: "A time of great strife!"
"Could it be that Dongyuan Sect, as powerful as it is, is so cautious in the face of this catastrophe?"
During the banquet, Bai Weiyang mentioned that if a time of great strife came, the Li family and Dongyuan Sect were close to each other, and they should help each other and form an alliance.
Li Taichang did not dare to agree directly, but only said that he was grateful to Dongyuan Sect for his attention, laughed it off, and let the matter go.
However, Li Zhirui knew clearly that Dongyuan Sect valued not the Li family, but Li Chengshuo and the other two who were already on Taiyin Star.
As for the alliance conveyed by Dongyuan Sect...
Li Zhirui felt that it was not appropriate to agree. After all, they did not know the situation of Li Chengshuo and the other two. If they could not help at that time, they would be directly pushed out by Dongyuan Sect as cannon fodder.
It would be better to maintain the current state of each doing their own thing and not get too close, so that the Li family can maintain a little mystery.
"Alas!"
After telling Li Taichang his idea with a communication talisman and asking them to discuss and perfect it, Li Zhirui suddenly sighed.
Before Li Chengshuo left, he said that the era of great struggle would come within a few hundred years, at most a thousand years!
If the time is long enough, Li Zhirui has a good chance of surviving the catastrophe and becoming an immortal, but if he comes to the world within 500 years, he may still be struggling in the Mahayana realm.
Unless Li Zhirui can get a Great Dream Enlightenment Pill or something like that, which can help him improve his realm in a very short time!
As long as the realm is broken through, he can focus on increasing his mana, such as taking a lot of precious pills!
Perhaps others would worry that the pill poison would accumulate in the body, damage the foundation, and be detrimental to the future path, but for Li Zhirui who has mastered the purification law, there is no such thing as pill poison.
He can first use the purification law to remove the pill poison in the treasure pill, or he can wait until the pill poison in the body accumulates to a certain extent, and then condense the purification law to remove the hair and cleanse the marrow.
Unfortunately, such treasures can only be encountered but not sought, and even if you are lucky enough to meet them, you may not be able to take them down, just like the auction at Tai Sui Xiancheng, which sold for a sky-high price of 1.89 billion spirit stones.
Before this, Li Zhirui had never used such extreme methods. First, he was worried that the mana would be suspended, and it would take more time and energy to solve it in the future.
Second, he did not expect the situation to change so quickly. Although he knew about the era of great contention a long time ago, he always felt that it was far away and did not pay attention to it.
There is another very important reason, that is, the Li family is not strong enough, and the location is remote. Even if the era of great strife comes, the Li family cannot become the main force, and can only play a supporting role.
Shaking his head, Li Zhirui stopped thinking about it, so as not to affect his mentality.
All he can do now is to do his best and leave it to fate.
After that, Li Zhirui closed his eyes again, hoping to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
While he was in seclusion, Jiang Fengwu, Daqing, Li Xianxun and other combined clansmen left the family one after another and went out to experience, hoping to use external pressure to promote their own realm and cultivation.
Maybe ordinary clansmen don’t know what happened, but as the top leaders of the family, how could they not know?
So they all want to improve their strength as soon as possible while there is still time, so that they can make greater efforts at that time.
Of course, some of the combined clansmen stayed in Wanxian Mountain.
Some of them have lost their courage to move forward; some feel that their path has been broken and just want to spend the rest of their lives in peace; some have just broken through not long ago, their realm has not been consolidated, and they have not encountered bottlenecks, so there is no need to go out.
Among this group of people, there is another person who does not belong to these categories, that is Li Chengsheng!
I don’t know whether he was stimulated by Li Chengshuo or for other reasons. Since that night, he has locked himself in the cave to practice, and no one can even disturb him.
The changes in the Li family are far more than that!
Not only Jiang Fengwu and other combined cultivators are desperately improving their strength, but under the arrangement of Li Taichang, those juniors who are being trained have also received more resources.
The Li family also began to encourage the clan members to go out for training; the task rewards increased...
It can be said that Li Taichang and others are trying their best to improve the family's strength for that catastrophe.
But just when the Li family was all immersed in practicing and improving their strength, several major events happened in the Yuanling Realm!
The Humane Dynasty, which was originally only in Dongzhou, was spread to the South and West Continents at some point!
The situation in the South was in chaos, and the forces of all parties were intertwined here, but it was also because of this that it gave a dynasty called Da'an an opportunity to develop and rise.
In just a few hundred years, the Da'an Dynasty, which only occupied one state, has now occupied more than 20 states, and its strength has suddenly increased by dozens of times. It has become a behemoth that the Southern Region cannot ignore!
And not long ago, the Da'an Dynasty destroyed a ninth-level monster force and used it as a sacrifice to officially upgrade to an imperial dynasty!
It became the second human dynasty in the Yuanling Realm after the Daqian Dynasty.
Although the development of the Humane Dynasty in Xizhou was not as good as that of the Da'an Dynasty, the miserable living environment of the mortals in Xizhou made the people of the Dazheng Dynasty united as one, and mortals continued to come to the Dazheng Dynasty.
Therefore, although the territory of the Dazheng Dynasty was small, the population was very large, and the human destiny was prosperous, which was not inferior to the other two dynasties.
The reason why the Dazheng Dynasty became famous was due to a war with the Demon Dao!
In that battle, several tribulation masters and more than a dozen Mahayana demon cultivators of the Demon Dao were killed. The loss was as great as that of several years of immortal and demon battlefield.
If it was just like this, it would not be worth shocking the world. After all, the Humane Dynasty has appeared for hundreds of years, and any force with a little strength knows how fast its strength is growing.
The key to attracting worldwide attention is that the Dazheng Dynasty actually seriously injured a scattered immortal of the Demon Dao!
If it was not for the critical moment, the scattered immortal exposed his backhand left in the sect, and let countless demon cultivators block the attack for him, I am afraid he would have fallen at that time!
It is said that the immortal demon cultivator is still in a critical condition and dares not return to the sect, fearing that his fellow disciples will take advantage of his situation and kill him. Until now, no one knows where he is hiding in a hidden corner to heal his wounds.
The strength of the Dazheng Dynasty has aroused the vigilance of a group of immortal forces!
In just a few hundred years, he has grown from a mortal who is powerless to a terrifying existence that is seriously injured and can even kill immortals.
What if they are given some more time to develop? Wouldn't the Yuanling Realm become the world of those mortals? !
Before this incident happened, the immortal forces did not actually take the Human Dao Dynasty seriously, thinking that they were just a group of rabble and not worth mentioning at all.
But a immortal demon cultivator used his life that he almost lost to teach other immortal powers a lesson that they must not underestimate the origins of these forces, otherwise they will suffer a great loss!
In addition to these two major events related to the Human Dao Dynasty, a bigger event happened not long ago.
The Shinto was born!
A group of gods, numbering up to a thousand, appeared in the Northern Territory and quickly occupied the mountains and rivers of the Northern Territory, becoming the gods of the gods.
In other words, in a very short period of time, the Shinto controlled the entire Northern Territory.
The ancient survivors who originally lived in the Northern Territory did not react much to this, but were very active. Many survivors have joined in, further strengthening the power of the Shinto.
When everyone thought that the Shinto had just started to gain momentum, the following situation completely shocked some forces with ulterior motives!
One night, in the vast starry sky, a series of figures appeared, at least tens of thousands of people.
And the owner of these figures was at least a star god.
Among them, the strength was strong and weak. The weak ones were only in the state of transformation and refining, and the strong ones were human immortals and earth immortals. At present, the strongest star god is a goddess. Her pressure makes it difficult for low-level creatures to breathe even if they are thousands of miles away.
And the moment she showed her figure, all the creatures who looked at her knew her name and identity.
Dou Mu Yuanjun, also known as Zi Guang, is the mother of all the stars in the Big Dipper.
As soon as she appeared, even those celestial beings who had not cared about worldly affairs for many years flew out of the blessed land and looked solemnly at the goddess who was emitting purple light and surrounded by stars, like a belt accompanying her.
A question emerged in their minds at the same time, how many years has the Shinto existed!
How could such a strong man be born without their knowledge!
The celestial beings clearly sensed that Yuanjun's realm was only that of an earthly immortal, but it brought them a great sense of oppression. They vaguely felt that if there was a big battle, they might not be his opponent.
In fact, these celestial beings knew about the existence of the Shinto a long time ago, but most of them were active in the starry sky, and it was beneficial to the development of heaven and earth. In addition, they were all carrying great luck and great merits. How could they, who wanted to transcend, be willing to be contaminated by these causes and effects?
But the development speed of the Shinto far exceeded the expectations of the immortals!
However, the trend of Shintoism was already established, and it was useless for them to stop it.
"Shuo'er..."
Jiang Fengwu, who was training outside, naturally discovered the strange phenomenon in the sky. She hurriedly found the location of Taiyin Star, hoping to see Li Chengshuo from afar.
But unexpectedly, Li Chengshuo did not show up, but A Yue and Xiao Yue showed up!
Both of them turned into their true bodies, a Taiyin Dragon and a Moon-swallowing Heavenly Wolf, occupying the left and right positions of Taiyin Star.
"Where is Shuo'er? Why didn't I see Shuo'er show up?" Jiang Fengwu said to herself anxiously. She couldn't help but feel worried and concerned when she didn't see Li Chengshuo.
Because since Li Chengshuo ascended to Taiyin Star, she has never seen any action from her.
The Taiyin phenomenon at the beginning had nothing to do with her, but now that the Star Gods have appeared collectively, why don't they show up?
In this strange situation, how could Jiang Fengwu not worry?
It wasn't until she saw A Yue and Xiao Yue convey the news that Li Chengshuo was safe that she felt relieved.
Li Taichang, who was far away in Wanxian Mountain, also received this news.
"The two spiritual ancestors made various actions beside the Taiyin Star. Are they conveying some message to the family?"
That night, all the members of the Li family who were not in seclusion saw such a grand scene. Naturally, some members guessed it, but they didn't know the meaning of those actions.
"Patriarch..."
"Nothing else, just passing on the news that Cheng Shuo's ancestor is safe and sound." It's not a big deal, so Li Taichang naturally won't hide it from everyone.
The star gods appeared collectively, and after a quarter of an hour, they disappeared into the starry sky again. But I don't know if it's everyone's illusion, the stars in the sky seem to have become much brighter.
Since the appearance of the gods, the rivers, lakes, seas, mountains, and islands in the Yuanling Realm have been stimulated by something, and a large number of gods have been born.
However, for some unknown reason, these gods will only be born in places where there are no people or only mortals. For example, in the territories of various cultivation forces, there are almost no gods born!
But even so, the power of the gods has expanded rapidly.
In just a few years, it has become as powerful as the original four camps of the Yuanling Realm!
However, all living beings believe that this is due to the accumulation of strength.
After the appearance of the gods, the spiritual energy of the Yuanling Realm has become more intense, and even many spiritual veins have suddenly been promoted.
However, none of the dozens of spiritual veins in Wanxian Mountain had such good luck. On Wanling Island, a spiritual vein was promoted to become the first seventh-level spiritual vein on the island.
When Li Zhirui came out of retreat, he learned about several major events that had happened in the Yuanling Realm in recent years from the jade slips specially prepared for him by Li Taichang. He couldn't help but sighed: "I didn't expect that during my retreat, the world would have such a big change!"
However, things have passed. Except for the birth of the gods, which has something to do with the Li family, the other two major events are thousands of miles away from Wanxian Mountain and have nothing to do with the Li family.
"Dad, I'm here to say goodbye!"
One morning, Li Chengsheng suddenly came out of retreat and ran to Li Zhirui's cave, saying reluctantly.
Li Zhirui, who was about to go to the storehouse to exchange some spiritual objects, happened to hear this, frowned, opened the gate, and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Li Chengsheng didn't expect to run into Li Zhirui, and he panicked and wanted to lie, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.
With a thump, Li Chengsheng suddenly knelt in front of Li Zhirui and kowtowed: "My son is unfilial, and I will not be able to fulfill my filial piety in front of my parents in the future!"
"What is going on? Why do you make it seem like a life-and-death separation!"
Li Zhirui stared at him solemnly, but no matter how he looked at him, he didn't find any signs that Li Chengsheng was possessed or had some incurable disease.
"Get up first and explain to me what happened!" (End of this chapter)
