Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 755 - 750: Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
"Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique."
Li Wei focused on the jade slip gripped in his hand, containing the specialized Void Refining method Fifth Maiden had imparted to him.
"Forge a husk using the soul of a Void Refining expert to simulate a false Void Refining state, then individually channel the power of Rules into that vessel..."
Never before had Li Wei witnessed a Technique with such intricate requirements. Yet, when weighed against the nearly impossible wall he faced trying to reach the Void Refining realm previously, this path was a clear and open highway.
"Utilizing this method, I can finally break through to Void Refining. Furthermore, even those clansmen lacking the necessary talent to..."
The mere realization caused Li Wei to sharply inhale a breath of cold air.
"It is no marvel that the Cultivation speed of those from Earth is so terrifying."
With his eyes gleaming with excitement, Li Wei hurried back to his room.
Though he had spent a mere two hours outside of the game, two full years had already swept past within the digital world.
Upon the screen, Merit City appeared as a picturesque sanctuary.
While the core family remained modest in size, a thousand servants bustled about. This wasn't a display of mindless luxury; instead, the Li family’s main courtyard provided a livelihood for the widows and orphans of Merit City’s fallen heroes, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
The landscape was dotted with spirit mountains, spirit lakes, and spirit springs, all set against a backdrop of vibrant, verdant forests.
Beneath this, commoners worked the spirit fields. Despite their Cultivation, every home sent up curls of cooking smoke, grounding the scene in the "smoke and fire of the mortal world."
It truly felt like a self-contained miniature world.
His vision turned white.
A notification chimed on the interface before him:
[Divine Soul entering the game world. Consumes 1 point of Family Will per year.]
Li Wei materialized once more within the Ancestor Space.
[Family Will: 13023]
These days, the family generated ten or twenty points of Family Will annually through passive growth alone, likely tied to the Cultivation realms of the clansmen.
Periodic surges also occurred due to unique events such as [Expert’s Grave], [Northern Border War Merits], and the [Great War in Shadowfell Prefecture].
He shifted his attention to the Family Skills menu.
Powerful abilities like [Battle, Old Ancestor] had already drained significant amounts of Family Will.
Universally, these skills demanded 200 Family Will points for every activation.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Wei invested some of the excess Family Will into a spirit tablet skill. He noted several unactivated family skills but decided against further spending for now.
"Old Ancestor!"
As Li Wei’s spirit tablet began to glow, radiant beams of light illuminated the Ancestor Space.
One by one, the clansmen gathered, accompanied by their wives who were formally recognized by the game’s system.
Xu Cuihua, Bai Rourou, Feng Mi, Qingyu, Liu Xiaofang, and Fan Feixuan were all present.
Among the gathered daughters-in-law of the Li family, only Liu Xiaofang—the girl from the humble fishing village—possessed poor natural aptitude. Her current early-stage Golden Core realm had only been achieved by consuming vast quantities of medicinal pills.
Nevertheless, she was cherished by the entire clan. Beyond her deep bond with Li Chang’an, she was the very definition of a virtuous and soft-hearted woman.
Fan Feixuan shared a similar gentle nature, though her talent was superior.
However, she occasionally exhibited... ancestral traits. Being a half-spirit, she once caused a stir when a strange light emanated from Li Xingchen’s quarters. Attendants rushed in fearing an incident, only to find Li Xingchen leaping ten meters into the air while Fan Feixuan rested innocently inside a giant clam shell.
"I have discovered a path to reach the Void Refining realm, a method known as 'False Void Refining'."
Li Wei surveyed his assembled family before launching into an exhaustive explanation of the "Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique."
The eyes of the clansmen shone with increasing fervor, particularly Li Dalong and the others who had been stuck at the peak for years with no hope of advancement.
Their situation was even more dire than Li Wei's. Even with the assistance of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, Li Dalong had been unable to even glimpse the threshold of the Void Refining realm.
"This shortcut will propel our family's power to new heights. False Void Refining!
While still at the Divinity Transformation realm, one can wield the Rule-space exclusive to Void Refining cultivators and command the fundamental tiers of Void Refining power.
Following this, even the most untalented individual could successfully complete their own breakthrough to Void Refining!"
Li Yunbing was visibly the most elated person in the room.
In his role as the Prefecture Lord of the Duravia Trade Prefecture, the pressure exerted by the Zhao Clan had been immense.
But with this new Technique...
The Immortal Zhao Clan? They would soon be the Short-Lived Zhao Clan!
"The soul of a Void Refining expert is required to summon the heavenly tribulation, and the Old Tree currently holds the spiritual soul of Venerable Elder Baimei.
As for the physical remains of a Void Refining master, we still possess the corpses of both Venerable Elder Baimei and Ming Daozi."
Li Yaotie was the undisputed expert when it came to the refinement of spaces and complex formations.
The bald man rubbed his scalp; it was time for his engineering mind to get to work.
"However, the fundamental requirement is the construction of a physical space. It must be exceptionally durable to survive the erosion of the power of Rules.
Such a feat will demand an immense quantity of resources and supreme-grade Spirit Stones."
"It also necessitates a massive array network—ten thousand minor arrays and eighty-one major ones, following the 'nine-nines extreme number.' By my rough estimates... the cost will be astronomical."
At those words, every gaze turned toward Li Chang’an, who managed the family’s financial ledgers.
Li Chang’an performed the mental math, his forehead creasing with worry.
"The total savings the family has amassed over the centuries... is only enough to construct a single such space."
"The consumption is that high?!"
Even Li Wei’s composure wavered. This represented the entire treasury of the Li family, built up over five hundred years!
But after reflecting for a moment, he found peace with the cost. Trading five centuries of wealth for a guaranteed Void Refining breakthrough was a bargain in the long run.
A heavy silence fell as the family deliberated.
The expressions of the Li family members turned solemn. These Elders, who usually spent their days in quiet seclusion, reached a collective resolution—
It was time for these four and five-hundred-year-old "seniors" to get to work, earn some gold, and provide for the family's future.
