Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 761: Mystic Dao Immortal Sect
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
Eternal Sun Prefecture, the Li family's main hall.
Li Xinnian examined the storage ring held in his hand, his expression radiating pure joy.
Then, he shifted a stunned gaze toward Su Chen. "Big Brother, this..."
This storage ring was actually a supreme-grade Spirit Artifact.
Within its internal space, Spirit Veins flowed like surging rivers, while ethereal Spirit Qi drifted throughout the area.
Amidst the radiance of the Spirit Veins, one could see clusters of stone emitting a mottled metallic sheen.
From spirit grasses and medicines to damaged Spirit Artifacts and Dharma Treasures—the collection was exhaustive.
What brought the most excitement to Li Xinnian were two coffins encased in orbs of light within the ring; they still pulsed with the lingering aura of Void Refining realm cultivators.
"Two years ago, I made my way out of an Ancient Secret Realm. I am uncertain of the events that transpired there, but an entire great sect had been imprisoned within a magical formation.
An ancient powerhouse from that sect carved an inscription upon a stele, claiming the Heavens sought their sect's destruction. Their only hope was that future generations might use their sect's remaining strength to forge a path forward."
Su Chen’s voice carried a heavy sense of world-weariness, likely a result of the many trials he faced during his thirty-year stay in that secret realm.
"Thank you, Big Brother. These resources are of vital importance to the family!"
Li Xinnian was beaming. These materials were sufficient to construct a dedicated space, and those two coffins were also of special craftsmanship. Even though the passage of time had caused the corpses to decay, it might still be possible to utilize them through refinement. For the family, this was truly like receiving charcoal during a winter blizzard.
Following this, Li Xinnian, Su Chen, and Nangong Qingya sat to discuss the family's progress over the last thirty-odd years.
As they spoke, the three were overcome with profound emotion.
They had gone from being strangers to acquaintances, then spent years cultivating together in the Skyveil Sect, eventually becoming trusted confidants. Now, they were bound as a family.
While Li Xinnian and Nangong Qingya were wed and oversaw a massive family estate, Su Chen continued his travels across the world.
When the conversation turned to Liu Rusi, they learned the Liu family had been wiped out for refusing to bow to the Immortal Zhao Clan.
Liu Rusi herself had been captured by the Ding family and tortured until she died, while that Ding Zerui had also perished during a bloody struggle for the position of heir.
Su Chen let out a long sigh. "I suppose they got what they deserved."
"Big Brother, now that you have come home, you must stay for a while. I will request the two Ancestors to craft some miraculous spirit elixirs and refine Dharma Treasures specifically for you."
Li Xinnian had no desire to linger on the fate of Liu Rusi and Ding Zerui; he would not let the memory of such wicked people trouble his family members.
With a bright smile, he added, "Big Brother, your timing is perfect. The Precious Armor the Ancestor was crafting for me is finished. Since you are traveling year-round, your need for it is greater than mine."
After 20 minutes.
Su Chen was clad in a set of black armor. Carved across the chest were several prominent characters: "Li Yaotie's Great-Great-Great-Grandson."
Despite the oddity of these words, Su Chen didn't look displeased at all; instead, his eyes shone with even more excitement and joy.
Though he had encountered countless Dharma Treasures, he viewed this one as far more precious. He held it in high regard like a supreme treasure, seemingly unwilling to ever take it off.
"Big Brother, what is the current state of the Northern Border? My cousin..."
Li Xinnian felt compelled to ask. He had heard many rumors regarding the Northern Border's affairs.
Even though his cousin was a hopeless, profligate scion, hearing of the situation only filled him with a sense of guilt.
Su Chen immediately burst into a boisterous laugh.
"That brat is certainly a bit of a profligate, but while the citizens of Northguard City call him a bad person, they cannot call him incompetent. If he were useless, how could he have survived for thirty years?
I will be personally instructing him in the years to come, so you have no cause for concern."
"That is a relief, then." Li Xinnian let out a breath of ease.
With those words, Su Chen rose to his feet. He rubbed his hands together and leaned toward Li Xinnian, asking,
"Xinnian, does this Eternal Sun Prefecture have any... cough, brothels you are familiar with? Any casinos? Stone gambling arenas?"
"???"
...
[Acquired Rotting Void Refining Cultivator Corpse x2]
[Acquired a large quantity of spirit medicines, spirit ores, Spirit Artifacts, and Dharma Treasure fragments that have remained and self-grown for 180,000 years in the Ancient Secret Realm of the Mystic Dao Immortal Sect.]
[One Rank 4 Spirit Vein, six Rank 5 Spirit Veins...]
[Acquired the Mystic Dao Immortal Sect's 'Secret Stele of Dao Transmission,' containing various cultivation methods and techniques of the Mystic Dao Immortal Sect.]
"Hiss~"
While Su Chen departed to visit the entertainment quarters, Li Wei stared at the mountain of treasures brought back and inhaled a sharp breath of cold air.
One could only imagine the immense power the Mystic Dao Immortal Sect wielded one hundred and eighty thousand years ago.
While most of the original legacies had perished within the secret realm, these resources were all things that had sprouted anew from the realm's Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
Nevertheless, the "Secret Stele of Dao Transmission" proved that this sect had once reached a peak of magnificent glory.
[Secret Stele of Dao Transmission]
[A treasure designed for the transmission of the Dao, containing the cultivation methods and techniques of the Mystic Dao Immortal Sect.
It holds a total of 1,888 techniques and cultivation methods ranked above the Profound grade.
Cultivators may meditate within a thousand-meter radius of the stele. The inscription can project illusions; those who successfully overcome the illusion can obtain the Mystic Dao Immortal Sect's cultivation methods.]
[The Secret Stele has developed sentience. It possesses an arrogant nature, recording and passing down only those cultivation methods and techniques above the Profound grade.]
Of all the items Su Chen retrieved, this was the true foundational treasure.
Much like the "Myriad Dao Divine Bell Pagoda," it was an object capable of serving as the bedrock for a major power.
Returning his gaze to the screen.
He observed the three-meter-tall ancient stele already positioned in front of the Old Tree.
A line of text flickered above Li Changsheng, who was napping on the Old Tree—it was the boy grumbling in annoyance.
"It makes it look like I've passed away."
Li Wei's eyebrow twitched. With the Ancestral Hall right there and the Heaven-Piercing Coffin usually kept under the Old Tree... it really did resemble a graveyard.
The Old Tree gave a sudden shudder.
A golden fruit dropped from its branches. Li Changyao appeared out of nowhere, catching the 'Primal Origin Blood Fruit' and securing it in a brocade box.
A hollow groove resembling a blood channel was visible on the Old Tree's trunk; a tenth of the accumulated blood had been used up.
It was the blood of Old Daoist Baimei and Ming Daozi that allowed the Old Tree—which normally fruited once every five centuries—to produce a fruit in only fifty years.
"Old Ancestor, the Old Tree has fruited once more. Please provide your instructions for its distribution!"
Li Changyao held the Blood Fruit aloft, seeking Li Wei's guidance from within the Ancestral Hall.
"It can still yield nine more fruits." Li Wei pondered for a moment.
Assessing the Li family's current needs, the Ancestral Spirit Tablet glowed within the game. He commanded Li Changyao to deliver the Primal Origin Blood Fruit to Li Xinghuo, as the boy was currently on the verge of a breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation realm.
Next, Li Wei focused on the device that was absorbing the power of the Rules.
As he channeled his spiritual power to collect this energy, a black, frigid power surged wildly within the container.
"It is complete!" A slight smile touched Li Wei's lips.
He marked the location with a Divine Soul imprint and a tracking device before heading toward other unclaimed planets.
By his estimates, this planet could provide enough power of Rules to fill three entire devices.
His family's appetite... was truly enormous!
Looking at the device in his palm, Li Wei raised an eyebrow.
"Ice, and a very small trace of Time Rules... but it will suffice. I'll utilize this first and focus on cultivation later."
He had already resolved to be the first to test this "False Void Refining."
After all, he was always the one leading the charge against Void Refining experts.
He was the family's "Foundation"—the one who feared death the least.
