Chapter 498: Chapter 486: Forcibly Receiving Guests
No one is simple. The ordinary ones have happiness and joy within reach; the brilliance of humanity is so dazzling.
The silent ones may possess wisdom, climbing the peak of the Human Path through contemplation.
Father Li wiped his hands, looked at the still lush parasol tree in winter, and said: "Have you thought about when you will take up my responsibilities?"
His son, raised for thirty years, spent too long being carefree and dashing, never showing maturity.
As a father, he’s quite worried.
Li Daoming shook his head: "Although my abilities are sufficient to shoulder many things, these are not what I desire.
See how high the sky is, how vast the earth is; achieving immense talents should be the courage every man possesses.
Moreover, even if you want me to take on some of the Li Family’s matters, the ancestor wouldn’t agree, and even if the entire Li Family were handed to me, so what?
In the eyes of the ancestor, the entire Li Family is just a small layout that can be flipped and extinguished easily, what you value, the ancestor might not care much for."
Father Li listened carefully, deeply furrowing his brow.
Everyone thought it was he who indulged Li Daoming, making him the eldest young master of the Li Family, but only a few knew it was because of the Cyan Emperor.
In the entire Li Family, besides the Cyan Emperor’s own children, few could catch the Emperor’s eye, but Li Daoming did.
Since childhood, Li Daoming often stayed by the Cyan Emperor’s side, able to listen to teachings and receive the transmission of the Dao.
As for Li Daoming’s actual status in the Li Family, no one could guess, and the answer lay only in the Cyan Emperor’s heart.
"What does the ancestor want you to do?"
Father Li pondered for a long time, knowing he shouldn’t ask as it’s an absolute secret of the Li Family.
But as a father, he had to ask, was compelled to ask.
Li Daoming looked at the sky, sighed, and said: "The old man wants me dead yet alive, wishes me to surpass him, and wants to surpass me again after I surpass him."
In short, in the eyes of the Cyan Emperor, Li Daoming is extremely special, and perhaps one day, if he chooses the right path, he could surpass him.
The future Li Daoming, who surpasses the Cyan Emperor, would likely be immensely powerful, and using the authority to ascend to the skies instantly, the Emperor could see higher domains and perhaps achieve unprecedented breakthroughs, obtaining unimaginable achievements.
"A stepping stone?" Father Li stared at his son.
Li Daoming raised his eyebrows: "Who knows, perhaps.
I won’t stay in the Li Family for many years, nor will I have such carefree days."
Every carefree day is counted down, and if Li Daoming isn’t carefree, he would feel he has let down his life.
"How many more years?" Father Li felt a mix of emotions.
"Perhaps hundreds of years to a thousand, or maybe ten to twenty," Li Daoming said indifferently.
Father Li sighed: "I have five sons, yet you are my flesh and blood, how can I not worry about you.
Do you have a girl in mind? If you do, I’ll propose, marrying three to five chambers is fine.
The joy between men and women, bearing offspring, are necessary experiences in life and essential paths to growth.
Meanwhile, you could also leave a bloodline legacy.
How about it?"
Li Daoming was speechless; his father’s line of thinking was somewhat rapid.
He said: "Tomorrow is the Immortal Martial Taoist’s wedding ceremony, I have a close friendship with Wang Xuan, and today I’ll go into the treasure vault to select some treasures, as gifts for the event."
"You go ahead." Father Li tossed a token to Li Daoming and gestured him off with a sigh.
By the seashore, a powerful force condensed like an alien presence suddenly stuffed into this realm.
Those who are Heaven-Supporting Pillars on Earth naturally sensed it.
The alien presence quickly moved west.
"Exotic visitors; if you don’t want to be considered hostile guests, you should pay your respects at the mountain."
From the depths of the Li Family’s old mansion, a voice transcending the sky and netherworld transmitted out, unheard by those below Half-Step Immortal but like thunder in the ears of magnates and Heaven-Supporting Pillars.
Powerful beings from the Celestial Divine Realm heading straight for Immortal Martial Mountain, just glanced at the Li Family and ignored it, streaking across the sky like a comet.
"Seems they are hostile guests."
A Cyan Lotus sprouted rapidly from the Li Family, growing in an instant to cover the sky.
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, in a flash, day turned to night, like daylight entering dark night instantly.
The Cyan Lotus enveloped a space, wrapping the Celestial Divine Realm people to the Li Family’s old mansion.
The dim space lacks north, south, east, and west, no distinction of up or down, no stars or sun, no mountains or rivers.
In the vast space, there’s only a Cyan Lotus, with chaotic qi flow to its core, powerful and endlessly vibrant.
A young man emerged from it, looking over thirty, tall with a cold demeanor, having the bearing of an emperor.
The Cyan Emperor openly spoke: "You are all outsiders; when coming to our Earth Civilization, you should greet rather than arrive unbidden, showing a lack of manners.
Our Earth Civilization in the vast Xingyu isn’t strong, but we have some presence.
On this small piece of land, we can still host home, right?"
Spoken with calmness but each word carried oppression, expressing dissatisfaction.
The Celestial Divine Realm people, seeing the young man, were slightly surprised and stunned, not expecting such a strong figure on Earth.
Among their contingent, the younger generation are all outstanding talents, the leaders being Immortals.
Both bold and capable to move them here, indeed aweing them.
"Tianwei, I’ve heard you traveled through Earth Civilization; have you heard of this strong figure?" Diyang Wushuang asked.
He is the strongest youth from the Celestial God Race, almost five hundred years old, existing at the True Tier Lower Rank Limit for years, a resounding figure in the Celestial Divine Realm.
Shoujo Wei, clad in a cold, noble, splendid robe, upon hearing, her face slightly blushed, recalling the past.
She whispered: "This is the founder of the Celestial Travel Battleship Group from Earth Civilization, known as the Cyan Emperor, who entered Half-Step Immortal over a century ago."
After being rescued by her father to the Celestial Divine Realm, to safeguard the God Race’s reputation, she had to say she was traveling in Earth Civilization.
Though the truth was, she was suppressed and auctioned, then ended up in Wang Xuan’s hands, serving as a maid for a few months, fuming with rage each day.
Wei dearly wished to know how that rascal is doing now, surely not too poorly.
They are heading to Immortal Martial Mountain, and may encounter Wang Xuan; if they do, she’ll have her cousin properly teach Wang Xuan a lesson!
She’s not so magnanimous to let the past slide easily.
"If we existed in the Cyan Emperor’s era, our achievements now would likely be unimaginable, no?" Tianjin sighed.
After Tianwei returned, she recounted many stories of Earth Civilization, leaving them envious and only envious.
Especially knowing that someone named Wang Xuan transitioned from an ordinary person to Celestial Tier in six years, cultivating astonishingly fast, with a deeply solid foundation.
If one isn’t envious, that would be odd, leading many to feel jealous, expressing desires to rebirth in Earth Civilization, starting afresh in cultivation.
But such remarks were heavily suppressed.
"Cultivators from Earth Civilization, while having abundant opportunities and original power to rapidly cultivate,
the foundation requires time and wisdom to solidify.
Our Celestial Divine Realm cultivators, which of us hasn’t fortified our foundation for years.
Even at the same cultivation level, it’s enough to suppress Earth Civilization cultivators.
On this journey, should we encounter Earth’s geniuses, we must show them that there’s always someone stronger."
Diyang Wushuang noticed that Shoujo Wei’s cheeks bore fresh blush earlier, hence his masculine grandeur ere long.
Only by winning an earth-shattering battle can he impress this Celestial God Race maiden and win her heart!
