[Your descendant Li Xinri encountered a crisis on his journey and was rescued by Li Xingchen, who returned from the sea domains...]
[Opened the treasury of the Great Evolution Immortal Palace and obtained a massive amount of spoils of war.]
Seeing the family's "little murloc" return, Li Wei silently canceled his manifestation.
In the cloudy sky, a massive number of spirit boats flew in an orderly fashion, forming a vast and disciplined legion, which also brought Li Wei considerable gratification.
Li Xingchen was different from many others in the family.
This kid had been free-spirited and uninhibited since childhood. Let alone the currently massive family, even the entire Imperial Dynasty couldn't contain his heart that yearned for treasure and distant lands.
This matter could also be blamed on Li Chang'an.
Back in the day, he had taken Li Xingchen out to be a pirate, befriending heroes and outstanding figures from all corners of the world. Afterward, the boy was always muttering about the unseen worlds out there.
Opening Li Xingchen's interface, it was almost entirely filled with beautiful scenery, travel, good friends, and treasures.
[Your descendant Li Xingchen took his wife Fan Feixuan to venture out to sea together, seeking legendary sea domain treasures.
Because he made many friends and used a sea turtle as his mount, they earned the beautiful reputation of the 'Divine Turtle Couple' in pirate circles.]
[Having seen many civilizations overseas that are vastly different from the Imperial Dynasty, acquired Trait: Traveler.
Having witnessed all things in the world, local customs, and practices, comprehension increases by 2%.]
[After thirty years following an ancient treasure map, found the legendary treasure of a Divinity Transformation expert.
Completed the special event 'Treasure of the Sea God', acquiring a massive amount of treasures.]
[Within the sanctuary of the deep-sea 'Ancient Algae Demon Tribe', found the mid-grade Dharma Treasure 'Whale-Slaughtering Trident', nurtured by the deep-sea earth vein qi.]
[Fifty years later, having made many friends across the sea domains, they jointly searched for the treasure 'Deep Sea Dragon Palace'.
They failed to find the treasure but disturbed a slumbering Dragon Tribe member, resulting in the sacrifice of ninety percent of the pirate crew...]
[To avenge this grudge, twenty years later, they finally teamed up with pirates who came upon hearing the news to hunt the dragon for revenge, sacrificing another eighty percent...
Another ten years later, during a great battle between the divine dragon and the demon race, they finally picked up the divine dragon's corpse.]
[By swallowing the dragon pearl and dragon blood, acquired Trait: Sea King.
Combat power in the sea domains increases by 100%, cultivation speed increases by 20%, and is protected by the heaven and earth karmic luck of the sea domains.]
[Because he successfully led the pirates in hunting the dragon, he is highly revered by pirates, becoming a traveler of considerable prestige in the sea domains. Acquired Trait: Son of the Sea]
[Having gained a modest reputation in the vast sea domains, favorability with cultivators and races surviving in the sea domains increases by 10%.]
[...]
Since picking up the dragon corpse, Li Xingchen almost became the most popular man in the sea domain he was in, and consequently broke through to the Void Refinement realm.
Along with him, his wife Fan Feixuan also broke through to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.
This kid could get along anywhere in the sea domains.
Unlike Li Chang'an, who was bound by tradition, Li Xingchen was carefree and could make friends with absolutely anyone.
And then there was this pirate crew he brought along...
[Hearing that the family was in danger, your descendant brought the highly renowned 'Cloud Sea Army' from the sea domains.]
This Cloud Sea Army was actually an ancient pirate crew. However, forces on the sea could also transition from dark to light.
Under the baptism of time, the Cloud Sea Army had become a regular army in the sea domains, widely recruiting sea pirates as legion members.
Whether it was pirates on the sea, land forces, or even the Azure Dynasty wanting to do business, even if cultivators secretly flew over to make a deal, they all had to pay taxes to the Cloud Sea Army.
Even if it was done secretly, a quick check of the Cloud Sea Army's ledgers would still uncover the discrepancies.
If they paid taxes proactively, and the cultivators encountered trouble while doing business, the pirate crew would immediately transform into emissaries of justice.
If they didn't pay, well, they were inherently pirates to begin with.
Incidentally, if any Sea Tribe faction in the sea domains had a conflict, facing a massive reward, the Cloud Sea Army could also act as mercenaries.
Li Xingchen was precisely one of the commanders within the Cloud Sea Army.
He even held an official position in the Imperial Dynasty, incidentally collecting taxes from the Imperial Dynasty.
......
"What the hell is this thing?"
Above the Great Evolution Immortal Palace, Li Xingchen broke out from the Void Refinement space and floated into the air.
Even after centuries in the sea domains, he retained his handsome appearance.
Currently, he was frowning down at the ferocious Void Refinement realm cultivators of the Great Evolution Immortal Palace on the ground, cursing under his breath.
"I'll play with you next time."
He then let out a cold snort and chased after the pirate crew's spirit boats, showing no desire to prolong the battle.
He hadn't been flying in the sky for long before he suddenly grew vigilant.
A figure abruptly appeared beside him.
Sensing that this person exuded a coercive pressure even greater than the monsters he had just encountered, and noticing a somewhat similar aura between them, he instantly thrust his trident.
However, before he could even channel his Spiritual power, the opponent caught the trident between two fingers.
Having roamed the martial world for many years, upon seeing the peculiar look in the other party's eyes, Li Xingchen instantly understood.
This thrust of his trident had been aimed at an ally.
He said with a grave expression, "Daoist Friend, this trident of mine has a mind of its own. It wasn't my doing; please don't mind it."
Hearing this, the Red Dust Immortal, who had just emerged from the Immortal Palace, had his eyes light up. This is a normal person.
