Chapter 801: Li Jing

Nezha was in a great mood and ended the chat.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Li Jing gazing over; although his expression did not change much, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"Here, Father!"

Nezha handed over the cultivation technique.

Li Jing took it, his hands trembling.

This was a supreme method of cultivation.

If he could successfully cultivate it, the Li family would be much more secure.

In the world today, Emperor Xin was tyrannical and persecuted the loyal and virtuous; this was something everyone knew.

As a minister of the Great Shang, Li Jing knew more of the inside story and was even more worried in his heart.

How to protect himself had become the problem that gave Li Jing the most headaches!

From the perspective of later generations, the best thing to do at this time would be to defect to Western Qi and become a founding hero of the Great Zhou; by then, when the Great Zhou enfeoffed the world, the Li family would at least be a feudal prince.

However, Li Jing did not have the ability to calculate the heavenly secrets of several hundred years; how could he know that Western Qi would win?

Rebellion was absolutely a high-risk endeavor in ancient times; once something went wrong, it meant the annihilation of one's nine clans.

Without knowing the course of later history, Li Jing had only one path to take—maintain loyalty, and even appear foolishly loyal, to gain the trust of the imperial court.

This was the helplessness beneath his loyal and honest exterior.

Now, all of this would become a thing of the past.

As long as he became a Heavenly Immortal, he would be among the most powerful people in the world.

By then, whether to live in seclusion or do something else, it would all be his choice.

The safety of the Li family would at least be guaranteed.

After reading the technique, Li Jing felt settled in his heart and was more confident about the future.

Nezha bought a few more elixirs and handed them to the people present.

"Mother, Father, the future will be very dangerous; let's hurry up and cultivate," Nezha urged.

Li Jing's expression shifted: "Could it be that Nezha knows about the future?"

"Yes." Nezha did not hide it. "Yes, Father, in the future, the Great King will become increasingly cruel and kill many loyal ministers; even our family will eventually have to defect to Western Qi."

Hearing this, the whole family was shocked into silence.

"Is this what the people in the chat group said?" Li Jing asked.

Nezha nodded: "Yes, Father."

"You must absolutely not tell anyone else about this, do you understand?" Li Jing's expression turned serious. "Muzha, Jinzha, you two as well, just pretend you never heard it. Otherwise, the Li family will face disaster."

"Rest assured, Husband, I will keep a close eye on Muzha and Jinzha," Lady Yin said with a solemn expression.

Concerning the future direction of the world, such news was too precious and too easy to bring disaster upon the Li family.

"Good." Li Jing sighed. "Everyone go back and cultivate; it will become increasingly dangerous in the future. Only with strength can we protect ourselves."

"Yes."

Hearing this, everyone felt their hearts grow a bit heavier.

……

The quiet room.

Li Jing took the Emperor Pill and felt the magic power within his body growing rapidly; the pill remained steadily below his dantian, like a sun releasing energy, seemingly endless.

"Truly a good elixir; no wonder one can achieve Heavenly Immortal status. Compared to this elixir, the ones I took when I was young were simply nothing."

Operating the technique, Li Jing began to condense his Bitter Sea.

Nourished by the massive amount of spiritual energy, the Bitter Sea condensed rapidly and then dissolved; golden blood surged, and an Immortal King phantom condensed behind him, exuding a terrifying aura, causing his aura to change drastically, transforming him from a scholarly weakling into an extraordinarily domineering existence.

Wisps of aura emerged around him, exuding an inexplicable Dao rhyme.

All things submitted, dominating everything.

Li Jing felt wonderful.

Compared to the Immortal Dao, this domineering path of cultivation was his favorite.

After cultivating for a good while, Li Jing raised his strength to the Quasi-Emperor realm; wisps of Emperor might permeated around him, reflecting his extraordinary nature.

Walking out of the seclusion room, he saw that his wife, Muzha, and Jinzha had also finished their seclusion.

The temperaments of the three had also changed completely.

Lady Yin's temperament was more gentle, and she seemed like a deep pool, unfathomable.

Muzha and Jinzha's auras were sharp, like unsheathed precious swords, giving a feeling of being indestructible.

Li Jing was surprised: "Muzha, Jinzha, you actually succeeded?"

"This is all thanks to Nezha!" Lady Yin laughed. "Nezha bought a divine ability from his Daoist Lord brother, letting Muzha and Jinzha experience several lifetimes in an illusion, which is how they succeeded in condensing the supreme sword-dao aura. Otherwise, even if they cultivated for a lifetime, they would likely only cultivate the form, unable to cultivate the true intent of the sword-dao."

"Experienced several lifetimes?" Li Jing was shocked. "That Daoist Lord has such means?!"

"That Daoist Lord is naturally extraordinary." Lady Yin said with respect. "Even Nezha has changed his appearance now, becoming sensible. Look, Nezha has been reading at home these days. In the past, he probably would have run out to play by now."

Li Jing was dumbfounded.

I just went into seclusion, and the whole family has changed completely.

Am I currently in an illusion?

Arriving at the courtyard where Nezha was, he indeed saw Nezha flipping through a book.

"Nezha, what are you reading?" Li Jing asked curiously.

Nezha held up the book, and the huge book cover came into view.

"Five Thousand Years of Chinese History?"

"What is this?"

Nezha said proudly: "This is a history book. Brother Ye Hei said that reading can bring wisdom, so he recommended these history books to me, but it's so hard. These things are all too difficult."

"History book?" Li Jing felt a shock in his heart; he stepped forward, took the book, and began to read it carefully: "Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han…"

Looking at the book, Li Jing's hands were trembling.

For modern people, history books are just leisure reading; in fact, most people don't even bother to flip through them.

After all, history books are of no use to most ordinary people; they can neither increase wages, nor relax the mind, nor improve professional titles.

Although forgetting history is equivalent to betrayal.

However, ordinary people can barely manage their three meals a day; where would they have the time and energy to understand history!

For Li Jing, however, it was not like that.

Having a history book in his hand meant he knew the specific direction of the future.

This was too precious.

He was even more excited than when he knew Nezha understood the affairs of later generations.

"Father, is this book very precious?" Nezha asked.

Li Jing was excited: "Of course it's precious. Nezha, from now on, these books can only be read by family members; others must not see them. Once people know about these things, the Li family will have endless troubles."

"Nezha is not afraid!"

Nezha had also cultivated many techniques recently and taken many elixirs, his strength had improved greatly, and he was full of confidence.

Li Jing snorted: "Nezha, of course you are not afraid. But do you want your mother to fight against those demons and monsters too?"

Hearing this, Nezha was stunned.

"I understand, Father, I will not let others see the history books!"

The gentlest part of Nezha's heart was always reserved for his mother; hearing that his loving mother might have to fight demons, he felt worried.

Although Lady Yin's current strength was already rare in the world, Nezha was still uneasy, fearing she might get hurt. ===== CHAPTER 802 =====
