Chapter 1040: Six Harmonies

The river water surged, and the spray splashed.

A long, pale green stone wall painted with mysterious patterns stood on the bank, washed over by the river water. On the magnificent high-rise terrace, a man in crimson robes was looking into the distance, somewhat silent.

Standing to the side was a man in black, looking much more mature, with a deeper cultivation base, but he wore a polite smile and laughed:

"Brother-in-law has worked hard. The Changrang Army is already stationed on the bank; you can leave this place to me."

Called by him, the man in crimson robes turned back, revealing a dignified face. It was Li Jiangzong, who was now in charge of affairs and had already achieved Foundation Establishment and left seclusion.

The man in black was Sima Xunhui, the husband of Li Li Queyi. Li Li Queyi and Li Jiangzong both came from the Bo lineage, born of the same father, and their relationship was extremely close, so naturally, he was closer to Sima Xunhui.

Li Jiangzong sighed and replied:

"Then I will trouble you, brother-in-law."

Sima Xunhui was a person good at leveraging power. No matter what he thought in his heart, he could always handle the relationships between the families very harmoniously, and he immediately laughed:

"I came to the lake once back then, thinking that the lake scenery and river scenery were the best in Jiangnan. I even went fishing on the river. Now that I am stationed here, I have feasted my eyes."

Sima Xunhui represented the Song Court and also the Sima family, stationed on the river bank to prepare for the North's southward movement. Although the troops were not many, it was at least a share for the Li family. Li Jiangzong appeared very polite and replied:

"It is the rainy season, and the river is wider. I went to the river to see yesterday. There have been conflicts every year, and there are many casualties, feeding the fish in the river until they are fat, but they are full of fingernails and can no longer be eaten."

Sima Xunhui sighed silently, and Li Jiangzong pointed and said:

"Yesterday, Guest Minister Ding's ambush succeeded, and a group of people were captured. Finally, a Zhao general was caught and is being held in the pavilion. You can go and see."

The two went down the stairs, and Sima Xunhui said sternly:

"I came precisely for this matter! My family's True Person observed for a long time and stopped the Jinlian Mohe who came to the Great Void. Finally, he was caught. I must thank your family for your cooperation!"

Li Jiangzong waved his hand and shook his head.

The great war that founded the Great Song had passed for more than three years. The large formation on the north bank was rebuilt, high city walls were erected, communicating with the formation, troops were stationed, and the defense was strict.

Perhaps the great war three years ago also hurt the North. In the past three years, the friction between the North and South had not been small. Occasionally, Eyed Lianmin and Jinlian Mohe crossed the river to test, but in the end, there was no decent fighting, and it was clearly much more peaceful.

The Li family members benefited a lot. Li Li Minggong, Li Zhouda, and others recovered from their injuries, and their cultivation techniques and Dao practices had improved. Li Jiangzong also survived this death tribulation, but the worries in his heart were always many:

*'The Wei Wang is injured... listening to True Person Qing Hu, this injury is not light. He will definitely not be able to spare his hands within these few years. True Person Can Can Zhaojing has been in seclusion and has no trace. Everything on the lake has to trouble True Person Qing Hu. After a long time, this is really not a way...'*

Li Jiangzong led people all the way to the highest terrace. The sky was still early, but the sixteen lamp stands in the square were brightly lit. The palace doors were closed, and two garrison commanders knelt in front of the hall, lowering their heads and saying nothing.

This was clearly someone already inside. Li Jiangzong calculated the time and understood in his heart, turning back and laughing:

"It seems that Father has come to the bank and is in the hall... It just so happens that I will take you to see him."

"So it is Father-in-law!"

Li Li Zhoufang had poor talent, poor cultivation, and no fame, but no matter what, he was his, Sima Xunhui's, father-in-law. This Early Zifu immortal descendant straightened his clothes and followed closely behind his brother-in-law. Li Jiangzong had just taken a step forward when he heard the palace door creak open by itself.

Father Li Li Zhoufang was indeed there, but he stood at the very end of the hall. A woman in red clothes with gold ornaments and surging True Fire Qi, and a brawny man with brilliant armor and a tiger's whiskers stood on both sides of the main seat, both standing sideways and saying nothing.

In the center of the hall knelt a man with a rather fierce face, extremely pale, in noble armor. Kneeling in the hall, he closed his eyes and said nothing, appearing stubborn.

But this man was clearly a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet he was clean-shaven, his helmet had long been taken off, and his head was bald, without a single hair—eight or nine out of ten, he was still a person of the Shixiu.

Li Jiangzong stepped in, and Ding Ding Weijian immediately arched his hands and said in a low voice:

"True Person Qing Hu ordered that he cannot be hurt... and he refuses to open his mouth."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, they all looked at Sima Xunhui. Who knew that this Sima family cultivator was also confused and smiled bitterly:

"I am afraid we have to wait for the True Person's order!"

But at this moment, the entire hall was filled with white light, like the morning mist, floating softly. The brawny man with tiger whiskers had already knelt down like a mountain collapsing and jade pillars falling:

"Subordinate pays respects to the True Person!"

In the center of the main seat sat a middle-aged man in white-gold Daoist robes!

【Missing text: "middle-aged man!"】

This person had long, relaxed eyebrows, dignified eyes, and golden light burning between his brows. His entire face had natural lines, and although his expression was casual, it revealed a dignified air that could not be violated.

*'True Person!?'*

It was True Person Can Can Zhaojing, Li Li Ximing!

Perhaps his divine abilities were becoming more and more brilliant. Today's Li Li Ximing was somewhat different from the memory. His facial features had subtle changes. Li Jiangzong did not dare to look closely, only feeling that his eyebrows were slightly longer and his nose bridge was more upright. He was clearly the same person, but he had a very distinct air of dignity.

Surprise and panic rushed into his mind. Stunned for a moment, Li Jiangzong withdrew the foot he had stretched onto the steps, knelt down on the spot with a thud, and said respectfully:

"Junior pays respects to the True Person, congratulating the True Person on the completion of his divine abilities!"

Li Jiangzong was still relaxed in his own hall, while Sima Xunhui was already cautious. His reaction was faster, and he followed closely behind his brother-in-law, only then hearing the faint voice from above:

"Jiangzong has established Foundation, not bad."

Li Jiangzong hurriedly sang some auspicious words about the True Person's divine protection, and Li Li Ximing smiled and nodded, letting him get up.

"All get up."

Sima Xunhui hurriedly got up and walked a few steps forward, standing beside the person on the side. Li Jiangzong quickly swept his eyes and saw a man in green robes sitting in the guest seat. He did not dare to look at his face, but based on Sima Xunhui's actions, it must be True Person Qing Hu.

Neither of the two True Persons showed any divine abilities, but the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn. Only the Zhao general's face was slightly red, and he raised his brows, revealing a hateful expression, opening his mouth to scold.

But Li Li Ximing had just taken a cup from Li Li Minggong's hand and was looking at him quietly.

His face was like warm jade, and the divine light in his eyes was slightly restrained, like a mysterious spirit sitting in a shrine. The white light floating in the hall was the curtain before the shrine, making him mysterious and impossible to look at directly.

This look made the Zhao general's expression suddenly become confused. In an instant, it seemed that something had swept across his face. The hatred was like a turbid gas, blown away by the invisible object coming toward his face, disappearing from his face. He knelt and moved forward twice, his eyes revealing deep, irrepressible awe, and he wept:

"Subordinate pays respects to the Master!"

The spiritual locks tightly binding his body fell to the ground with a clang. The man stood up and naturally knelt under the main seat, in front of Ding Ding Weijian, blending into the Li family members, respectful and obedient.

For a time, the hall was horrified, and even Ding Ding Weijian's eyelids jumped, his heart feeling a bit cold.

Li Li Ximing did not give him any look, nodded slightly toward Sima Xunhui, and this Sima family descendant hurriedly bowed and saluted. Li Li Ximing sipped his tea and said quietly:

"Speak."

This was clearly said to the Zhao general, and he saw the Zhao general say respectfully:

"Subordinate Li Hu Jie, a person from Lingbei, cultivated under the rule of the Great Mu Dharma Realm, followed Jinlian Mohe Lord Guangchan south, and obeyed orders in the army..."

Li Li Ximing was thoughtful and looked at Sima Si Yuanli. This True Person Qing Hu nodded slightly, his expression solemn, and replied:

"I observed the opposite bank this year and found that a large number of troops had moved. They were all people from the Great Mu Dharma Realm. I always felt that the North had some arrangements, so I designed to capture one... It just happened to collide with the fellow Daoist leaving seclusion, so we discussed countermeasures."

Li Li Ximing frowned slightly.

He naturally knew the name 【Lord Guangchan】, and even through that woman Xiao Eyed Lianmin... he also knew that this Jinlian Mohe also had the Wei Li bloodline!

*'Not a good thing...'*

He was thinking carefully, and Sima Si Yuanli saw his expression, laughed, and a bit of envy appeared in his words, sighing:

"Congratulations to fellow Daoist Can Can Zhaojing... rare... rare!"

Leaving seclusion today, the life divine ability 'Heaven and Earth Bright' was completed!

Life divine abilities had a completely different meaning for cultivators all over the world. It was not only the shadow covering the hearts of all lower cultivators, but also an important means to supplement the Early Zifu position. Now that it was completed, he had actually become completely refined and looked like a different person!

*'It's really not easy!'*

Li Li Ximing felt quite emotional in his heart.

The cultivation of life divine abilities valued Dao practice and life numbers, and the difficulty was not low. For today's Li Li Ximing, it was even higher. This seclusion took five or six years in one breath, and he even almost failed!

*'This time I was a bit anxious... Although I refine elixirs every year and am becoming more and more proficient in the Bright Yang Dao, if I really want to calculate it, my Dao practice is still a bit short... If it weren't for that 【Listening to Purple Intent Qi】 that just happened to supplement this aspect... this time I would have failed again!'*

Today, Li Li Zhouwei's Dao practice had reached the level of a Great True Person, but when Li Li Ximing was in seclusion, he was only at the level of an ordinary early Early Zifu. Many True Persons with extremely high Dao practice had not practiced life divine abilities, let alone him?

It was just that once it was completed, his Dao practice had improved a lot, and he felt quite comfortable in his heart. It could be said that he was proud and elated, and he raised his brows and laughed:

"Just luck..."

Sima Si Yuanli shook his head and sighed:

"That's not necessarily true. First, your family's life number is high, and second... it is also because fellow Daoist is brilliant... My family's elders also suggested that if you cannot attain the Dao with life divine abilities, if your talent allows, try to practice life divine abilities as your second divine ability. After all, the later you practice divine abilities, the harder it is, and the third divine ability is even harder. When you encounter Can-Zi and then practice life divine abilities... that is simply not thinking it through!"

Sima Si Yuanli actually felt a bit of envy in his heart. His Dao inheritance was clear, and now his life divine ability had become the foundation of the Dao, but he had no confidence... It was just that the situation was urgent, and he could not afford to have no progress in strength for a long time. He had been struggling in his heart. Seeing Li Li Ximing pass this great difficulty, how could he not envy?

Li Li Ximing listened to his words and smiled slightly.

Once the divine ability was completed, the world in his eyes was completely different!

Rays of mysterious light were like light beads, falling on everyone's heads, with different colors, bright and clean, some full, some shriveled, echoing with spiritual energy and cultivation, which was sensed by 'Heaven and Earth Bright'!

In other words, everyone in the hall was under the cover of his life divine ability, and even beyond this hall, wherever his spiritual sense reached, it was covered by 'Heaven and Earth Bright'.

The mystery of this life divine ability was mainly divided into primary and secondary parts. The most important was the mystery acting on Li Li Ximing himself—known as 'The birth of the sacred place, the achievement of the king's industry, the master of the six harmonies, the balance of heaven and earth, the matching of gods, and the questioning of the universe.'

【Missing text: "earth, matching gods, questioning the universe."】

This part of the mystery was related to his own Dao practice, power, and position. Once activated, it was blessed by 'Heaven and Earth Bright', creating a light of six harmonies out of thin air, ordering prohibition, and dissolving evil difficulties.

This 【Light of Six Harmonies】 followed 'Heaven and Earth Bright' closely and was extremely related to the Dao practice of the Bright Yang Dao. In addition to being used for fighting, it also had the use of balancing heaven and earth and questioning the universe, which could be used for calculation and asking about the Dao.

And apart from the light of six harmonies, the other mysteries highlighted the uniqueness of life divine abilities.

If a Bright Yang Early Zifu cultivator was compared to a mortal, 'Audience at the Heavenly Gate' was like a sharp weapon in hand, 'King Stepping on Danger' was the armor on the body, and the mystery of 'Heaven and Earth Bright' was like appearance, strength, temperament, cultivation, and temper, which were invisible things.

This divine ability was not like 'Audience at the Heavenly Gate', which had the concept of being sacrificed or bundled. 'Heaven and Earth Bright' was more like the rise of one's own characteristics, naturally formed...

Rather than saying that the mystery of 'Heaven and Earth Bright' covered a range, it was better to say that it covered the power relationship of a force.

This divine ability controlled promotion and banishment. The divine ability favored those who were close and loved, and those who received the grace of 'Heaven and Earth Bright' to be promoted, the heavenly light was born in the Qi sea, making them drive away evil with righteous thoughts and shine on the source.

The mysterious part of it was used to control subordinates, making them unable to have two hearts when they left their positions, and unable to have resentment when they died. Like Ding Ding Weijian, Qu Qu Bushi, and others

people, if they had two hearts or resentment, they would be sensed by him immediately!

Once sensed, he would be angry in his heart, scold them, and could even cut off their cultivation. Foundation Establishment and fetal breathing did not need to be said, even for a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator like Ding Ding Weijian, as long as he said a word, he could make Ding Ding Weijian's decades of effort abandoned, falling to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in one breath.

And the mystery that 'Heaven and Earth Bright' matched was not just this. As long as the previous 【Light of Six Harmonies】 was brushed lightly, it could immediately make people lose their souls, forget themselves, and treat his various commands and words as the golden rule.

*'Although it wouldn't be like a father being reincarnated and changing into another person... but unless it was called out by the special life divine abilities of other Purple Mansions, this person would always be loyal according to my instructions until death! Even after a long time, they would completely lose their hearts... even if other Purple Mansions intervened, they couldn't be saved.'*

At the same time, 'Heaven and Earth Bright', as the culmination of the Bright Yang method, could respond to 'Audience at the Heavenly Gate'!

Once 'Audience at the Heavenly Gate' was sacrificed, there would be golden armor and golden clothes, coming from all over the sky. These summoned armored soldiers only had the strength of Foundation Establishment, except for a little instinct for fighting, they had no consciousness. If there was no Wei country method, they would not be able to get on the stage in front of the Early Zifu, and it would only be a matter of one breath.

But the mystery of 【Light of Six Harmonies】 called 'matching gods' was here. As long as the golden armor and golden clothes all over the sky were touched lightly by 【Light of Six Harmonies】, their consciousness would immediately rise. If his Dao practice reached

a certain level, he could even aggregate divine abilities with 【Light of Six Harmonies】, turning into golden armored immortal generals, participating in the fighting between Purple Mansions.

*'This... should be the embodiment of the Wei Li Heavenly Dynasty method!'* ===== CHAPTER 1041 =====
