[The Blue Moon Immortal Sect, instigated by Wu Neng of the Immortal Suppression Department, used Duanmu Qi to secure passage through the Eternal Immortal Sect.
They attempted to establish roots in the Azure Cloud Prefecture, aiming to suppress the Li clan and partition their authority following the "death" of the Li family's two Void Refining cultivators at the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems.]
[Led by the Family Head, Li Xinnian, your family rallied eighty percent of the cultivators in the Azure Cloud Prefecture and eradicated the Blue Moon Immortal Sect in a single night.]
[Special Event—Eradication of the Blue Moon Immortal Sect: Completed!]
[Spoils of War Obtained—]
[Two corpses of Void Refining cultivators.]
[Supreme-Grade Dharma Treasure: Bright Moon Divine Set]
[A Dharma Treasure passed down through generations of the Blue Moon Immortal Sect.
This Divine Set integrates a long spear, helmet, armor, gauntlets, belt, and other components. When worn by a cultivator below the Integration Realm, it elevates their Spiritual power by one minor realm.
Grants access to the Void Refining technique: Bright Moon Descent—manifesting the bright moon as a spear to lock onto and slay the target.]
By this time, the headquarters of the Blue Moon Immortal Sect had been completely razed to the ground.
Li Wei had managed to rush back while the battle was still raging, accompanied by the clansmen who had been fighting at the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems and the Grand Tower.
Originally, the family members had braced themselves for a decisive battle at the Grand Tower. However, the sudden defection of Holy Monk Yidian and the subsequent flight of the Grand Tower's forces had caught the clansmen completely off guard, leading to their natural return.
Yet, what greeted them upon their return—Li Xinnian rallying eighty percent of the cultivators to wage war on the Blue Moon Immortal Sect—was something that even exceeded Li Wei's expectations.
Though a night had already passed, Li Wei could still vividly recall the panic and absolute despair etched on the faces of the Blue Moon Immortal Sect's members.
That said, the Blue Moon Immortal Sect was undeniably destitute; aside from the single Bright Moon Divine Set, nothing else of note had made it into the family's pockets.
"Good lad."
Watching Li Xinnian deep in discussion with the various Divinity Transformation realm cultivators of the Azure Cloud Prefecture, Li Wei gave a slight, approving nod.
Suddenly, Li Wei furrowed his brows.
His Divine Soul perceived a powerful aura approaching from the sky.
He saw an old Daoist arriving, flanked by Duanmu Qi and Li Chuyuan.
In an instant, the clansmen concealed within the clouds went on high alert. They sensed the Integration Realm aura emanating from Ancestor Lan, yet they showed no panic.
...
On the Spirit Boat.
Li Zhiheng sat cross-legged, and Li Wei had already materialized beside him.
Last night, he had witnessed Li Zhiheng charging into the Blue Moon Immortal Sect. After a whole night of fierce battle, he remained completely unscathed!
After more than a hundred years of cultivation, Li Zhiheng—this child who had devoted himself wholeheartedly to his practice—had acquired numerous Traits.
A few among them were particularly extraordinary.
[Providence Seizer]
[Gradually gaining control over the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart. Capable of observing the Providence of living beings and seizing it. Seizing Providence will increase cultivation speed and chances of fortuitous encounters.]
This was the very power the Zhao Clan Ancestor had obtained.
[Heavenly Dao Divine Heart]
[The Heavenly Dao Divine Heart stores Providence, which can be used to heal physical injuries. Through the Divine Heart, one can borrow Providence to draw upon the Spiritual power of Heaven and Earth for cultivation...]
There were numerous applications, yet Li Zhiheng was deeply aware of the consequences of the Zhao Clan Ancestor's reckless behavior; thus, he dared not wantonly seize the Providence of others.
Instead, he mostly used the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart to assist in his cultivation.
[Profound Foundation]
[With the assistance of the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart, the user's foundation is extremely stable. Their comprehension of the Laws is abundant, and their Spiritual power is several times that of an ordinary cultivator at the same realm.]
In the wake of this great battle, Li Zhiheng seemed to have gained some enlightenment.
Paying no mind to the descendants before him, the Eight Trigrams diagram beneath his seat had already expanded, shielding him from the senses of the outside world.
Beside him, Li Zhijing could be seen grinning broadly as she lovingly stroked the whip in her hand. Seeing her, Li Wei felt a sense of fondness.
Li Zhijing might be a bit unruly, but she had a good heart; in this battle, she had fought as bravely as anyone.
The long whip in her hand was the Low-Grade Dharma Treasure, the Earthly Fiend Beast-Driving Whip, a gift from Daoist Mosquito capable of commanding demon beasts.
In addition to this, Li Zhijing also possessed a Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact, the Hidden Demon Ledger.
It appeared as an ancient-styled book, commissioned by the family from an external artifact refiner, and within it, Li Zhijing stored her tens of thousands of demon beasts.
[Your descendant, Li Zhijing, having cultivated diligently in the Ethereal Immortal Grove for many years, and through a combination of family legacy and the teachings of Daoist Mosquito, has obtained the Trait: Flood Dragon Tamer]
[To aid Li Zhijing's cultivation, Daoist Mosquito and Li Xinnian captured a Nascent Soul Realm Black Flood Dragon in the Southern Sea and sealed it within Li Zhijing's Dantian.
This allows her to manifest Flood Dragon scales for protection and grants her thirty percent of a Flood Dragon's physical strength.]
[Obtained Trait: Demon Suppression]
[Having spent years in the Ethereal Immortal Grove leveraging Daoist Mosquito's authority and constantly sparring with Demon Beasts, she has gradually mastered their weaknesses.
Damage dealt to Demon Beasts is increased by 30%.
Due to the surging Demon Qi on her person and her status as a Beast Tamer, her suppression force against Demon Beasts is increased by 30%.]
"I wonder how things are in the Northern Border... It's been so many years. Has Dad gone hungry and lost weight? With me not around, is he getting bullied by those good-for-nothing young masters in Northern Border City?"
Li Zhijing leaned against the railing at the edge of the Spirit Boat.
She was nursing some injuries, her face pale, as she rested her chin in her hand and gazed down at everything beneath the clouds.
She was already preparing to return to the Northern Border, yet after staying in the Azure Cloud Prefecture for over a hundred years, she felt a lingering reluctance to part with it.
However, the Old Ancestor had said that whether the clansmen in the Northern Border could be kept in line depended entirely on her.
Li Zhijing pouted. "The Northern Border relies entirely on Grandpa to hold it up; I really should help Grandpa share some of the pressure."
