The dynasty's desire to destroy us has never ceased.
After returning to the Ancestral Space, the matter of the Ten Deadly Sins remained a lingering shadow over Li Wei.
[Special Event — The Empress's Apprehension]
[With the family returning from the Qiu Clan, Li Chang'an was personally released by Empress Wenren Xianyi, signifying that the dynasty no longer had any justification to move against your family.
Having served Wenren Xianyi for decades, Li Chang'an obtained intelligence from her in just a few words regarding the major powers that had recently attempted to deal with the family.
Based on his understanding of her, Wenren Xianyi desired nothing more than the complete eradication of the Li Clan.]
Li Wei trusted Li Chang'an's intuition.
Just like the past, Li Chang'an had never misjudged anyone.
Li Chang'an had said that if he were Wenren Xianyi, there would be too many ways to deal with the Li Clan, and she was an expert at using others' strength to strike her enemies.
Her visit to the Heavenly Prison to bring out Min Youguo this time was simply to have him deal with Lin Jiu.
The intelligence she gave to the Li Clan could equally be given to the people mentioned within it.
By making those who had plotted against the Li Clan afraid, the looming threat of danger would leave them constantly on edge, even if the Li Clan took no action.
"Time... what we need is time," Li Wei said, his tone icy.
He immediately headed toward where his descendants were.
Above the sea, an inconspicuous flicker of flame instantly vanished before Li Wei's eyes.
He was already standing on the silver coffin.
On top of it, Li Dalong was leisurely playing with the chains wrapped around his body.
Inside the Heavenly Coffin, numerous experts could be seen sitting cross-legged.
[Special Event — Tracking the Nirvana Sage Elder]
[The Nirvana Sage Elder has been fleeing for dozens of days.
The Huan Gui possesses the 'Corpse Qi Method.'
When a practitioner of the Corpse Stitching Technique is killed by an enemy, the Corpse Qi Method can track them over a massive area using a mark.
Your clansmen tightly pursued the heavily injured Nirvana Sage Elder, forcing him to keep moving without rest for dozens of days, worsening his already severe injuries.]
Although Li Dalong seemed leisurely, Li Wei knew he was entering a new realm.
He had already reached the Void Refining realm, relying on Shen Wu's inheritance.
By following the path Shen Wu had taken to the Mahayana realm, he could break through to the Body Integration realm.
However, this path was somewhat bloody, akin to forging a new race and becoming a Corpse Ancestor.
But Li Dalong did not choose this path.
[Your descendant Li Dalong questioned his Dao. Shen Wu's path of breakthrough was extraordinary, but it was not suitable.]
[In Shen Wu's inheritance, he saw that Shen Wu had created the zombie race.
Upon reaching the Body Integration realm, Shen Wu could enter the minds of the zombies with a thought, but this came with the inability to control such large numbers.
Combined with the naturally bloodthirsty nature of zombies, it led to them ravaging the world, a disaster that only grew worse.]
[In the end, Shen Wu was forced to lead the zombies and make an enemy of the entire world.]
[In the underworld, your descendant is gradually attempting another path, using the Boundless Blood Sea as his foundation.]
Above the Dao Gate, the Boundless Blood Sea could be seen creeping upward.
However, how to walk this path was something Li Dalong had to explore himself.
As for the Dao of 'Blood', it was definitely not a suitable choice.
The dynasty had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and humanity for who knows how long; the Dao of 'Blood' had likely already been claimed by someone else.
Nevertheless, this did not hinder Li Dalong's formidable combat strength.
With the Boundless Blood Sea and the low-grade Spirit Treasure, the 'Heaven-Imprisoning Chains', even Li Wei would find him troublesome to face below the Body Integration realm.
Especially since he controlled a powerful faction...
[Your descendant Li Dalong occupies a territory in Hell Layer I: The Silence Maw and Hell Layer II: The Rending Vows.
Holding an office in the Underworld, he can command the malicious ghosts within his domain.
The malicious ghosts, zombies, wraiths, and other entities of the underworld wage war day and night, elevating Li Dalong's prestige. Only those who survive have the right to be his subordinates.]
[Acquired Trait: Underworld Ghost Venerable.
The malicious ghosts are awed by his majesty. Under the Ghost Venerable's terrifying rule, they must deliver 'taxes' at regular intervals: Ghost Qi, Silence Maw Stones, Rending Vows Gold...]
[Commands Three Great Ghost Venerables: Xuan Tianzi (Mid-stage Void Refining realm), Hellblade King (Mid-stage Void Refining realm), Ancient Maw Ghost Venerable (Early-stage Void Refining realm).]
Currently, these ghost entities continued their endless battles in the underworld.
Xuan Tianzi, already controlled by the Boundless Sea of Death, obeyed Li Dalong's orders, making those dead ghosts battle ceaselessly to plunder death qi for others' cultivation.
Among them, Soul Duke had already reached the peak of the Divinity Transformation realm.
Li Wei had seen these ghosts participate in wars where fewer than a hundred survived in the end, only to spend thirty years amassing tens of thousands of subordinates just to go to war again.
Inside Li Dalong's Heavenly Coffin, many former enemies were waiting to be refined, such as Zhenwu and Elder Yuanliang.
With just a glance, Li Wei was stunned.
He saw that on the Boundless Blood Sea creeping up the Dao Gate, the spiritual power that was originally utterly incapable of pushing the gate open had imperceptibly strengthened by a fraction.
"Could it be?"
Li Wei paused in realization.
Upon closer inspection, these were actually the Spirit Souls of the ghost entities above the Nascent Soul realm that Li Dalong controlled.
It was precisely through these Spirit Souls that the ghosts obeyed his commands.
Moreover, the Boundless Sea of Death was gradually merging into Li Dalong's body.
"Dalong wants to use the Boundless Sea of Death to break through to the Body Integration realm!
The souls and death qi of these ghost entities form an aggregate of various rules. Combined with the underworld, this is entirely a brand-new Dao!"
