Chapter 1047: Arriving One After Another
This scorching silver light was dazzling, making his heart feel cold.
In Li Li Ximing's view, although there were many people in the Li family who could be used, the situation of the successors was not good. Li Li Zhouwei sought the Dao, and the children of Mingyang each had their own thoughts. If the situation deteriorated, it was not unlikely that the Mingyang bloodline would have some fate. He knew this very clearly and couldn't rely on them.
Li Li Que Wan and Li Li Jiangqian were both Early Zifu materials. Especially Li Li Que Wan, Li Li Ximing regarded her as the retreat for the Li clan to go to the East Sea if the Mingyang Dao failed. And Li Li Jiangchun was a Early Zifu seed, and also had the Yang clan bloodline, just right to continue after him, which was also a trump card.
But for the younger generation after that, Li Li Ximing had a great sense of ominousness...
For no other reason, if the children of Mingyang could not be preserved, the younger generation would be mediocre... Li Li Jiangchun's sword heart was clear, and the family was counting on him to break through to sword intent, with no intention of letting him be distracted. Ninety-nine percent of them would find it very difficult to have descendants. It was the same for Foundation Establishment, relying on him was not as good as relying on Li Li Zhouluo. And Li Li Que Wan was devoted to the Dao, now preparing for Early Zifu, even more impossible. The Zhong and Ji lineages had no outstanding descendants, the Uncle lineage had already been separated, and only the Bo lineage was prosperous.
Li Zhouming was the best choice, but Li Li Ximing had talked to Li Brother Xuan privately. Li Zhouming had practiced Mingyang after all... The old man thought and thought, and felt that Mingyang cultivators should no longer be the masters.
Li Li Suining's arrival was very timely, just a generation younger, with high talent, and the array Dao had great hope. Most importantly, his personality was steady, intelligent, and calm. Li Li Ximing liked him the first time he saw him, hoping to continue his bloodline... just for the sake of the future...
But with Li Li Jianglong's appearance on the side, and this silver light entering his eyes today, Li Li Ximing subconsciously felt that he was the handiwork of some great power. The candidate who would be responsible for the clan affairs in the future was not unlikely to be a spy from someone's family. How could Li Li Ximing not be shocked!
At this moment, his gaze was forced to stay by the furnace, his face still calm, but his heart had already turned into a pool of cold water. The exploration ability of the Immortal artifact was activated, firmly locking onto Li Li Suining.
He saw the silver light on his body changing miraculously, contracting and expanding like breathing. Li Li Ximing stared and saw that the silver light gradually faded, revealing a few familiar auras.
"It seems to be... the taste of the fox clan's Dao lineage 'Si Tian'... and it's somewhat like the divine mysterious fluctuation when the Wanling Heaven was first opened."
Although Li Li Suining also practiced "Si Tian," it was naturally impossible for a mere Foundation Establishment cultivation base to be so dazzling under the exploration of the Immortal artifact. Li Li Ximing judged extremely quickly, suspicious, and pondered:
"Could it be the arrangement of the fox clan..."
This made the chill in his heart reduce slightly.
After all, his family had a deep friendship with the fox clan. In those years, the Great True Person of Mount Luoxia came to the lake, and even a Demon King of the fox clan came to deal with it... In a sense, they still had common interests.
"Although this silver light has a few points of nobility, it doesn't look like it has any substantial power, instead, it looks like some characteristic was checked out by the Immortal Mirror... After all, if there really was a rebirth, it wouldn't be a day or two..."
He closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and already had a preliminary judgment in his heart:
"In those years, the Yang clan probably didn't understand the situation on the lake. The star of martial arts was as high as a True Person, but it was also cut off on the lake. Regardless of the reason, at least there are many secrets on the lake... Rather than a spy, could it be... rebirth? Or some kind of chance?"
Li Li Suining didn't leave many flaws, and those performances didn't count as flaws. It was just that after changing perspectives, there were one or two suspicions, and many things were completely different:
"It is precisely because he is a high-level cultivator reborn that he is calm and composed at a young age, and obtained such high array Dao practice for no reason... it's not something that a talent can cover up..."
"It's just that he is attached to his clansmen, not like a fake... could it be that he hasn't cleared his previous memories?"
Li Li Ximing pondered, although he didn't think Li Li Suining had any high strength, his vigilance had already been secretly pulled to the highest level. He didn't startle the snake, but waved his hand, instructing:
"Go back to your General first, lest people say you are neglecting your duty."
Li Li Jianglong didn't say much, bowed and left immediately. Only Li Li Suining stood in the mountains. Li Li Ximing didn't open his mouth for a long time, but finally asked with a smile:
"Came to take elixirs to break through?"
Li Li Suining was respectful and polite, never looking straight at him, and didn't notice his abnormality. He nodded politely and replied:
"This junior's aura is complete, and I am about to break through... It's just that spiritual objects and demon creatures of the 'Si Tian' Dao are rare in the world, and this kind of Suiyuan Dan is even rarer. The Old Ancestor sent this junior to visit the Lord."
Li Li Suining seemed not to want him to run back and forth, hesitated, bowed and thanked, wanting to speak but stopping, his heart bitter:
"I shouldn't have mentioned this! Although there is no war for a year or two... but if something happens outside..."
Li Li Ximing was observing his expression, lifted his hand to let him come over to sit, casually brewed a cup of tea, and laughed:
"These things are not in my hands either. I happen to be going to the East Sea this time, so I will ask for some from True Person Yuanbian for you."
Li Li Suining didn't have the heart to refuse, nodded repeatedly, and responded solemnly. This "Yes" was spoken, and Li Li Ximing's eyes were secretly bright. When he was in his sleeve, he pinched a secret art slightly, jumping out the light of the six harmonies.
It was precisely "Heavenly Bright"!
The two responded, seemingly just going through the motions, but this subordinate relationship fell into "Heavenly Bright," and immediately had a divine mysterious response, already falling under the supervision of the life supernatural power!
As long as Li Li Suining had a little resentment or a little ulterior motive in his heart, he would be noticed by Li Li Ximing! The gold fan in his hand would immediately respond, making him smashed to pieces.
That colorless light of the six harmonies jumped slightly on his fingertips. Li Li Ximing's heart relaxed slightly:
"The feedback of 'Heavenly Bright'... he truly respects me, it seems he has true feelings for the family, without half a fake... it seems... this child obtained some chance..."
If it was really the latter, Li Li Suining obtained some chance of the "Si Tian" Dao. Li Li Ximing, while celebrating, had to consider whether this chance was problematic. Regardless, with the influence of "Heavenly Bright," Li Li Ximing could temporarily set his heart at ease.
"I see he is a good child for now... I can't wrong him. I can only deal with it like this for now, send him to seclusion when I return, and wait for Li Zhouwei to come out of seclusion before discussing it carefully."
He stepped out, asked Li Li Minggong to seal the Mount Zhijing Mountain array, not allowing anyone to enter, and instructed:
"You go and invite True Person Guo Nanwu to sit in town on the mountain for me... Something happened in the East Sea, I'll go and return."
Only then did he hurriedly ride the wind and step into the Grand Void.
The night was dark.
The sky of the Chengyun Sect was covered with dark clouds, without half a phantom color. The young man stood on the high platform, his face slightly pale, looking at the night sky. The white-feathered black-patterned long robe fluttered slightly in the air, showing a bit of oppression.
It was the master of the Chengyun Sect, True Person Changyun.
He didn't say a word, standing quietly on the high platform. The surging wind only made his hair flutter slightly. His eyes were extremely deep.
Beside him, a young man in black also stood in the strong wind. He was a head taller than True Person Changyun. The long spear in his hand stood on the ground, his supernatural power surging, appearing extremely heavy.
I don't know how much time passed, but the spear-holding young man lowered his brows and reminded:
"My Lord, that person instructed that practicing this kind of secret art should be done with as few people seeing the body as possible..."
Changyun shook his head calmly and replied:
"Chonggong, there will be no chance in the future."
This spear-holding True Person was none other than the master of the Chengyun Sect, Zhong Zhong Qian!
He hadn't achieved Early Zifu for long, but his supernatural power and momentum were extremely sufficient, his brows were sharp. When he saw Li Li Xuanfeng in those years, there was still childishness on his face, but now it had been completely dispelled, replaced by the majesty and calmness belonging to Early Zifu.
Changyun turned his head and said lightly:
"The great war in the South is about to start, and they will definitely come to dispatch me—they are playing dumb, wanting us to eat bitter medicine with a dumb mouth, having bitterness but unable to speak."
His words were very ironic, but his expression didn't have half a decadence, as if his secret being revealed didn't count as a big deal.
After a while, a piece of gold and white light flew from afar, landing a spirited Daoist, but the auspicious clouds he was riding under his feet looked somewhat out of place.
"Brother Changyun!"
This monk shouted, landed on the platform, found that Changyun knew he was coming early, and wasn't surprised. He bowed, his expression somewhat embarrassed, and replied:
"I received an order to invite you to go South to guard the river bank."
These words made Zhong Zhong Qian's expression change slightly, but Changyun smiled and invited him in, looked at his complexion, and shook his head:
"Monk Minghui friend... it hasn't been easy for you these years!"
Monk Minghui's embarrassed expression gradually dissipated, and he sighed deeply:
"The True Person is wise. I have been walking on thin ice on this bank. Today, asking you to go down is an offensive matter, so it naturally fell into my hands..."
After the war of founding the country, the Li family got a chance to recuperate, but Monk Minghui had really not had an easy time in these years... He was transferred to Mount Shanjie, and he had to go to every trial! He had tasted the taste of Senior Tinglan's boundless water and fire more than once!
Monk Minghui complained for a while, secretly looking at Zhong Zhong Qian, but just after taking this look, he felt that he was full of flames, and was shocked:
"What a thick life number, if this person joins Buddhism, he will definitely have some achievements!"
He was still secretly observing, but Changyun was sneering in his heart:
"Qi Qi Lanyan... Qi Qi Lanyan, I have been in seclusion for a long time, but you actually want me to come out! Good, good, good, a small cultivator of the Qi family, supported by the Mysterious, actually became arrogant, simply stupid to the extreme!?"
"Is it that there are few big figures in the world who know about this matter? But one by one they have learned to be obedient, playing dumb, but this fool was pushed to the front, thinking he got some secrets, daring to plot against my Golden Dao lineage..."
Changyun treated Qi Qi Lanyan's boldness as ignorance:
"It's often my Dao plotting against others, controlling all directions, but it's his turn to plot against me!"
He was gloomy, and the Monk Minghui in front of him couldn't hold back, looking at him with envy, saying:
"The True Person has actually achieved three supernatural powers! What a fast speed, those Jin Dan-level Immortal descendants are nothing more than this!"
No matter how much flattery and politeness his words contained, Changyun only felt sensitive when he heard them. After all, he, Changyun, was a secret agent of the Golden Feather Sect. It sounded like sarcasm, and his gloomy eyes swept back and forth on the other party:
"Does this monk know... the tone is so sharp, could it be that the Lotus Temple also knows? The status of Jinlian... it's impossible to come into contact with it under normal circumstances..."
He said lightly in his mouth:
"Just luck."
Monk Minghui shook his head and sighed:
"I have heard that the Purple Gold Hall of the Yang family has opened, and something will happen on the river sooner or later. I came here this time, besides doing this offensive matter, there are one or two questions to ask you."
"Oh??"
Changyun raised his brows, listening to the monk's distress, thinking for a long time, and only after the great array was closed, he secretly said:
"You and I have been friends for many years... do you have any way to seek death... teach me..."
As soon as these words came out, the corner of Zhong Zhong Qian's mouth, who was serious and worried on the side, couldn't help but twitch. Changyun stared at him strangely and said somewhat strangely:
"It's really strange, the world is so big, there are not many ways to live, is it possible that there are few ways to die!" ===== CHAPTER 1048 =====
"Fellow Daoist Monk Minghui… these years haven't been easy for you either!"
Monk Minghui's awkward expression gradually dissipated, and he let out a deep sigh, replying:
"The True Person's eyes are like torches. Living on this shore, I have been walking on thin ice. Calling you down today is an offensive matter, so naturally, it fell into my hands…"
After the war of founding the nation, the Li family gained an opportunity to recuperate, but Monk Minghui has truly had a hard time these past few years… being transferred to Shanji, he is forced to go to every annual probe! He has already tasted the flavor of the boundless water and fire in Senior Tinglan's hands more than once!
Monk Minghui complained for a while and secretly looked at Zhong Zhong Qian. Just by taking this slight glance, he felt that the light and flames on Zhong Zhong Qian's body were surging. He was immediately shocked, thinking it was a heavenly being, and secretly marveled:
"What a thick fate! If this person were to join the Buddhist path, he would surely achieve great things!"
While he was still secretly observing, Chang Yun was already sneering in his heart:
"Qi Qi Lanyan… Qi Qi Lanyan, I have been in seclusion for so long, yet you insist on calling me out! Good, good, good! A small cultivator of the Qi family, having gained the support of Zhi Brother Xuan, has actually started to stir up trouble. It is simply stupid beyond words!?"
"Could it be that there are few big figures in the world who know about this? Yet they have all learned to be obedient, playing dumb and acting stupid, while this idiot is pushed to the forefront, thinking he has obtained some secrets and daring to scheme against my Jin Daoist Orthodoxy. Just as Qi Qi Lanyan expected back then, the Jin Daoist Orthodoxy must be furious, but Chang Yun—or rather, Zhang Yun of the Golden Feather Sect—treats Qi Qi Lanyan's boldness as ignorance:
"It is usually my Dao scheming against others, controlling all directions; now it is his turn to scheme against me!"
His thoughts were gloomy, and Monk Minghui before him could no longer hold back, looking at him with eyes full of envy, saying:
"The True Person has actually achieved three divine abilities! What a fast speed! Even those immortal descendants of the Golden Core level are nothing more than this!"
No matter how much flattery and politeness his words contained, Chang Yun only felt sensitive when hearing them. After all, he, Chang Yun, is a dark agent of the Golden Feather Sect; it sounded like sarcasm. Those eyes, which looked somewhat gloomy, swept back and forth over the other person:
"Does this monk know… his tone is so sharp, could it be that the Lotus Temple also knows? The status and position of Jin Jin Lian… under normal circumstances, one shouldn't be able to come into contact with it…"
He then said indifferently:
"Just luck."
Monk Minghui shook his head and sighed:
"I heard that the Yang clan's Purple Gold Palace has already opened. Something will happen on the river sooner or later. I came this time, besides doing this offensive thing, I also have one or two questions to ask you."
"Oh??"
Chang Yun raised his eyebrows, listening to this monk's endless distress. After thinking for a long while, seeing that the great array was closed, he secretly said:
"You and I have been friends for many years… do you have any way to seek death… teach me…"
As soon as these words were spoken, the lips of Zhong Zhong Qian, who was serious and worried on the side, couldn't help but twitch. Chang Yun stared at him blankly for a moment and said somewhat strangely:
"It is truly strange. The world is so big, there aren't many paths to live, could it be that there are few paths to die!"
