Chapter 678: Various Parties (Thanks to the accumulated Silver Alliance Leader reward from 'That Year's Xiao Ming')

Li Li Ximing responded quietly, and Li Li Xuanxuan immediately wiped away his tears and smiled:

"It's a happy event, so there shouldn't be tears. How is your divine ability?" Li Li Ximing flicked his sleeves lightly, and immediately a heavenly light surged out from his cuffs, wandering along the many decorations in the great hall, plating the entire hall with a bright color, isolating the inside and outside with the divine ability.

"Bright Yang divine ability 'Visiting the Heavenly Gate'!"

Li Li Ximing said softly:

"The Mount Qingchi Sect has the 【Dongli Secret Note】 obtained from the Dongli Sect's cave heaven. They have long seen that I cultivate the *Jin Dian Jinyang Huangyuan Art*, and they also know the various miracles of my family's 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass'. They didn't take it to heart early on."

"Little did they know that I built my foundation with the *Jin Dian Jinyang Huangyuan Art*, but the subsequent transformation of magic power used the fifth-grade same-Qi *Bright Flower Jinyang Huangyuan Classic*... It was also with the *Bright Flower Jinyang Huangyuan Classic* that I achieved the Early Zifu. This divine ability is called 'Visiting the Heavenly Gate'."

Li Li Xuanxuan was slightly confused, frowned and pondered for a while, and asked:

"Could it be that the achievement of divine abilities from 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' is different? Therefore, breaking through to the Early Zifu with different grades of immortal foundations results in different divine abilities?"

Li Li Ximing paused slightly and said softly: "Actually, the difference between them is not very large. Except for individual substitutions, by reason, the cultivation methods that can achieve divine abilities are all above the fifth grade. Whether it is 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' or 'Visiting the Heavenly Gate', they are actually the same Bright Yang divine ability, just with slightly different areas of expertise."

"As for the sixth and seventh-grade cultivation methods, perhaps the divine abilities are stronger, but I have not seen them."

The heavenly light between his brows flickered slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "It's just that after I refined the divine ability, I felt that the relationship between individual divine abilities and individual Dao conduct is greater, and it has gradually detached from the constraints of cultivation methods... Perhaps this is the difference between nature and life... The Early Zifu touches upon the number of lives, and it seems that it is no longer constrained by cultivation methods."

Li Li Ximing paused as he spoke, and said rather cautiously:

"I connected to the Grand Void, and I had a premonition in the dark that it seems that the Early Zifu Golden Core cultivation method is limited. Reaching the peak of the Early Zifu and breaking through to the Golden Core is already the limit... Once the Golden Nature is refined and the fruit position is attained... there is no need for any cultivation methods... It all depends on one's own cultivation."

He picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and answered:

"Perhaps the ancient methods of breathing and nourishing nature have magic arts above the Golden Core that can be consulted, but the Early Zifu Golden Core path ends with the Golden Core... Once the fruit position is attained and the True Person is achieved, a single thought changes the world. Where are there any cultivation methods that can point them out?"

Li Li Xuanxuan nodded and estimated, saying in a low voice: "I heard that the *Questions of the Beggar under the Mulberry Tree* bestowed by the Immortal is only seventh grade. Fifth or sixth grade is probably the supreme book of the Early Zifu Golden Core path."

Li Li Ximing nodded, pointed to the outside of the hall with a point between his brows, and the colorful clouds in the sky dissipated immediately. He said softly: "Li Chenghuai cultivates 'Do Not Investigate Me'. This brilliant heavenly light is not good for him, so I will put it away first..."

"These ten-plus years... how is the family? How is the world?"

Li Li Xuanxuan sighed and shook his head. Clearly, these ten-plus years had not been good, but his family had a Early Zifu, so these were no longer anything. He said with some comfort:

"It is mainly the changes on the north bank. The 【Cheng Yun Gate】 of True Person Chang Yun has occupied quite a large territory, the situation has stabilized, and two overseas Early Zifu have settled on the north bank one after another, and sects and families of all sizes have sprung up everywhere."

"The spiritual energy on the north bank is gathered, and the wild temples across the river, where the water veins are connected, are also very prosperous. The spiritual energy is different every day..."

The wilderness was also the riverbank earth vein, between Moon-Watching Lake and the Brother Xuan Yue Gate. In the past, the spiritual energy was not abundant, and most of them were wild temples in the wilderness. Now that the spiritual veins were prosperous, many sects and families were immediately established.

"As for the family, there have been more and more probes from various parties, all aimed at Li Zhouwei, using the Tangjin Gate and the Three Sects of Mifan as guns, silently probing the relationship between the Dragon Clan and our family... becoming more and more bold."

"Today's visit by the Three Sects of Mifan was just like this... If you hadn't succeeded in your breakthrough, there would have been many troublesome things."

"Where is Li Zhouwei?"

Li Li Ximing asked, and Li Li Xuanxuan said:

"He pretended to go to the East Sea to subdue demons, but he has actually arrived on the opposite bank. He originally estimated that there would be a great battle for the Three Sects of Mifan to cross the river to the north bank... and was preparing to deal with it secretly, but was interrupted by your breakthrough, and the situation has changed completely."

"The Three Sects of Mifan not only did not cross the river, but also sent people to offer congratulations and provoke. I don't know what they are planning."

Li Li Ximing nodded and said softly: "No matter what they are planning, it's already fine now. Within three months, all sects will send gifts over. It's better to settle them down properly."

He hesitated again and again, and then asked: "Is there... any news about Aunt?"

Li Li Xuanxuan choked and said in a low voice:

"This matter... I don't know how to say it... Li Qinghong has been away from home for too long. Five years ago, that jade talisman lost its magic power nourishment and dimmed. It can no longer show the owner's fortune and safety..."

Li Li Ximing's heart gradually settled, and he only comforted:

"After things settle down, I will discuss it with Li Zhouwei, look at the situation, and see if we should visit the Dragon Clan... and ask about this matter."

Li Li Xuanxuan nodded repeatedly. There was a commotion in front of the hall. Li Li Ximing's heart moved, and the hall door moved with a boom, opening by itself.

Two people came up outside the hall. The woman wore a light red cloud-satin long dress, a silver-white necklace around her neck, a talisman pen hanging at her waist, and several talisman papers hidden in her cuffs.

She wore no powder, her skin was white, her eyes were quite spiritual, her smile was curved, and her expression was mixed with joy, quite respectful as she bowed.

"Junior Li Que Wan, pays respects to the True Person!"

Another man wore pleated clothes in purple and white, with departure fire patterns painted on the collar and cuffs, white jade hanging at his waist, and golden tassels at the end. His eyes were bright, and he had a rather high and spirited look.

"Li Jiangqian pays respects to the True Person!"

Li Li Ximing raised his head, greeted the two to come closer. Li Li Que Wan was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, slightly restrained. Li Li Jiangqian was faster, already at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He opened his mouth warmly: "Old Ancestor has broken through to True Person! The family is so festive, the appearance of those few stupid things is satisfying..."

Li Li Ximing laughed and instructed: "You two are cultivating too fast. You don't have to rush to cultivate. You should practice magic arts more."

"Junior understands."

Li Li Jiangqian finished his salute and smiled: "I didn't know Old Ancestor would come out of seclusion so quickly. The family was short of Foundation Establishment, so I discussed with Wanmei that I would break through to Foundation Establishment first, come out to help the family, and she can cultivate slowly, it doesn't matter."

"Now it seems, it's not necessary at all!"

Li Li Jiangqian's words were quite to Li Li Ximing's liking. He then nodded and asked with a curious smile:

"Your father... how many children does he have now?"

Li Li Jiangqian said respectfully:

"In the past ten years, he has added four younger brothers for me. Now the few younger ones have not yet followed the clan's orders, and their performance is quite good."

Li Li Ximing sipped his tea and chatted for a while. An Siwei drove the wind and landed in front of the hall again, saying respectfully:

"Reporting to the True Person, on the opposite bank... the envoys of the Three Sects of Mifan have arrived..."

Li Li Ximing had not been sitting in the hall for more than half a day, and the Three Sects of Mifan were quite quick. He said casually: "How to deal with Mount Xiaoshi Mountain?"

An Siwei bowed and said respectfully:

"Floating Cloud Cave is in chaos, birds and beasts scattered. The sect elders and guest elders attacked the pavilion to divide the treasures. The cave master committed suicide for his crimes, and his body was looted by the cultivators, disappearing as an omen, leaving only a head."

"The chaos lasted halfway, and the other two sects of Mount Xiaoshi Mountain killed their way to Floating Cloud Cave together, in the name of clearing out the sect rebels, gathering and detaining the cultivators, taking off the heads of a group of people and sealing them well. Zai Zai Xingzi's line had long been trampled into powder... no bones could be found, only the spiritual objects of that group were collected and sent over."

"Now the cultivators of the two sects of Mifan have escorted the Floating Cloud Cave people to the north bank, along with the heads and spiritual objects."

Li Li Xuanxuan was stunned and speechless for a while. Li Li Ximing sipped tea without speaking. Only Li Li Jiangqian on the side rubbed the jade pendant in his hand and sneered: "Good reaction. In the end, only some cultivators of Zai Zai Xingzi's line and a cave master at the late stage of Foundation Establishment died. The posture is low... taking advantage of the breakthrough of our family's True Person today, not daring to wait overnight, rushing to send their faces to be slapped."

He paused slightly, calculated the time, and said in a low voice:

"According to the time, at least the moment the True Person appeared, the turmoil in Mount Xiaoshi Mountain had already begun. Otherwise, it would take half a day for the news to pass, let alone rushing over before nightfall."

"I'm afraid someone is pointing the way behind the scenes."

Li Li Ximing naturally knew that the Three Sects of Mifan were not just backed by the Tangjin Gate, and even the Tangjin Gate was profitable and repeatedly targeted his family. He paused slightly and said softly: "Present the things."

An Siwei retreated immediately, and before long, he sent up a row of jade boxes. He lifted the largest and most gorgeous one, which was exactly the head of an old man full of remorse, his hair and beard standing on end.

Li Li Ximing's heavenly light moved, covering the means on this face, and it returned to the appearance of just dying. The appearance did not change, but where could one see any remorse? It was full of surprise and anger.

He lowered his head and sipped tea. An Siwei replied:

"It is indeed this person."

Li Li Ximing flicked his sleeves lightly, and the sealed head immediately oozed blood. He said softly:

"Li Que Wan, check the blood relatives."

Li Li Que Wan immediately understood, placed one hand on the other wrist, joined two fingers, lifted the blood with magic power, and chanted a spell in her mouth. Silver-white mercury light floated in the blood, and she said in a low voice: "The fish with the red tail, its room is like destruction, its son is a jackal, a distant relative."

She pulled out a talisman, stuck it on her wrist, let the silver-white light dissipate, and said respectfully: "This person has few children, his parents died early, they were all loose cultivators, his eldest son hated him, killed his father and mother, but was killed by someone else."

Li Li Que Wan used the witch talisman technique, which was still accurate. Li Li Ximing then nodded and said softly:

"It seems that the chaos is really chaotic. There is indeed a Early Zifu staring at Mount Xiaoshi Mountain."

No matter whether Li Li Que Wan calculated correctly or not, it was a certainty that there was a Early Zifu pointing the way behind Mount Xiaoshi Mountain. Li Li Ximing sent the two juniors down first, looked at An Siwei, and instructed:

"Let them put down the compensation, let all the guest cultivators go back... The two cave masters come up to see me, and we can chat in detail."

Mount Qingchi Sect, Main Hall.

Dantai Jin wore gorgeous clothes and waited in front of the hall for a while. A guard immediately invited him in. He took two steps, crossed the white-mist-filled steps, and entered the great hall.

Si Seeing Si Yuanli was writing with a brush, and his mood seemed quite good. Dantai Jin arrived in front after a few steps, bowed, and smiled:

"Sect Master!"

"Brother Dantai is here!"

Si Seeing Si Yuanli laughed, took a small letter from his sleeve, handed it to him, quite satisfied with himself.

Dantai Jin took it and looked at it carefully. Joy immediately appeared on his face.

He saw only a few lines written on the letter: "On the 22nd, True Person Chi Buzhi appeared on Lu Fang Island in the South Sea, manipulating divine abilities to hurry, looking hurried... seemingly chasing demons, appearing for only a few breaths, searching with magic power, and disappearing immediately."

"Chi Chi Buzhi has appeared!"

How could Dantai Jin not know Si Seeing Si Yuanli's meaning! The turmoil in Mount Qingchi had passed for more than ten years, and Chi Chi Buzhi had no reaction at all, just busy with his own affairs. This meaning was clear enough... Chi Chi Buzhi didn't care at all! If he had even a little bit of heart, he wouldn't have to return to the Mount Qingchi Sect. Even if he left a word, the tragedy of that year wouldn't have happened...

Dantai Jin finished laughing, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said in a voice as low as possible: "True Person... could it be that he has an opinion on someone?"

Si Seeing Si Yuanli was a person of what kind. Hearing this, he reacted immediately, his heart was slightly terrified, his expression was hesitant, and he also knew who he was talking about.

'Lu Shui!'

"Who knows..."

Si Seeing Si Yuanli's expression was always a bit gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Perhaps he has an opinion on Chi Wei... This person is determined to seek the Dao, and is good at hypocrisy and pretense. In the past, when Chi Wei was there, he couldn't see his appearance at all. Once Chi Wei died, it was like a different person."

His words were hidden in his stomach and did not come out.

'Even if he has an opinion on Lu Shui, so what? Ning Ning Tiaoxiao is not just dissatisfied... he hated for a lifetime, and didn't even cultivate divine abilities, so what... he just hated himself to death in vain...'

Chi Chi Buzhi was a smart person. Si Seeing Si Yuanli didn't believe he would be like this, at most he wanted to jump out of Mount Qingchi.

"I only worry about the ancestor's afterlife..."

Si Si Boxiu was proficient in talisman arts and also had several quite good inheritances, but time could not be delayed any longer. Si Seeing Si Yuanli was waiting for that Moon Flower Glazed Fruit to go into seclusion.

He stared at the painting on the case for a while and raised his pen to write.

Dantai Jin suddenly listened attentively. Si Seeing Si Yuanli was stunned, his ears moved slightly, and a vast sound was coming out from the Grand Void, floating in the great hall.

"Moon-Watching Li Clan, Can Zhaojing Li Li Ximing, has attained the Bright Yang divine ability this day! Proclaiming the Early Zifu Immortal Clan, offering sacrifices with rites in three months..."

"Moon-Watching Li Clan, Can Zhaojing Li Li Ximing..."

Si Seeing Si Yuanli's hand suddenly stopped, and the name he had mentioned halfway was stopped hard, leaving a bean-sized ink dot on the painting, which spread out. This painting of fine brushwork was ruined.

"Crack."

The precious white-bristle jade brush in his hand shattered with a bang. Fine jade powder poured out from his fingers, slowly sprinkling on the painting below, sprinkling on the face of the old dragon in the middle, covering the dragon's eyes in darkness.

"How is it possible..."

Si Seeing Si Yuanli changed color suddenly, and his cultivation of qi for several years was broken. His brows were tightly locked, his eyes were slightly dull, and he met Dantai Jin's equally unbelievable eyes.

'Early Zifu in ten-plus years?! Li Li Ximing?'

Dantai Jin looked up. His expression immediately turned from shock to slightly gloomy regret. He said in a low voice:

"I'm afraid we've fallen into a trap... Not just you and me, Sect Master, I'm afraid nine out of ten Early Zifu in the south of the river... underestimated him..."

Si Seeing Si Yuanli's psychological quality was extraordinary. He immediately exhaled slowly and waved his hand decisively:

"Don't say anything! Go visit Li Li Xizhi immediately!"
