Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 767: Year 620
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
[Year 620]
"Huu..."
Back in the Real World, Li Wei remained rooted to the spot, his expression one of pure daze.
As he extended his palm, a small cube began to rotate slowly above his skin. Through his Divine Soul, he could sense every detail within the object; he perceived a frigid, extreme power housed inside, a cold capable of locking the entire world in ice.
The very power of Rules felt tangible, as if it were sitting right beside him. He realized that with a mere flicker of his will, he could command this entire space!
"Is this truly Void Refining?"
Li Wei knit his brows in contemplation.
"At the Void Refining realm, a cultivator's Primordial Spirit should be able to dissolve into the void, allowing them to traverse the distance of an entire prefecture instantly, untouched by the mundane world.
Extinguishing a life from a thousand miles away using spiritual power ought to be trivial. However, having only reached 'False Void Refining,' I lack those specific capabilities.
All I possess is this isolated space, the power of Rules contained within it, and the associated Void Refining techniques. As for my actual combat power..."
Li Wei thought back to his desperate flight from Old Daoist Baimei. After performing a few mental calculations, his brow furrowed deeper. "I could actually put up a fight."
Realizing this, Li Wei knew he couldn't afford a single moment of procrastination.
He quickly verified the in-game time and made a swift return to Planet Yinwater.
His breakthrough in the Real World had lasted nearly two days, which translated to a staggering forty years of passed time within the game.
He was concerned that the second batch of "False Void Refining materials" being prepared by Yaoqing and Yaotie was likely near completion.
Before long, Li Wei gathered two portions of the "Power of Rules" from Planet Yinwater and set a course for the next planetary coordinate.
...
"Forty years... how can everything have changed so drastically?"
Upon opening the game interface, a relentless stream of notifications filled the event log.
[Li Family Year 581: Your descendant, Li Zhiheng, married Sun Sixiu of the Sun family.
An alliance through marriage has been established between the Li family and the Sun family of the Duravia Trade Prefecture, though both sides maintain a level of mutual suspicion.]
[Your descendant, Li Zhiheng, and Sun Sixiu have shared a life of mutual respect for many years, eventually raising three children:
Li Yuanling, Li Yuanwu, and Li Yuanshang.]
[Your descendant, Li Yuanling, was a fellow disciple of Feng Lingqiu from the Azure Cloud Feng family. Having been childhood sweethearts, the two have officially wed...]
——
[Your descendant, Li Xinjue, suffered the consequences of his mother’s failed plot to secretly harm Li Zhijing.
The scheme was uncovered by the Hall of Heavenly Principle and brought to the attention of Li Xinghuo.
In a fit of fury, Li Xinghuo banished Li Xinjue’s entire lineage from Northguard City, decreeing they must form a separate branch in Silvermoon City.
Until they show true repentance, the names of Li Xinjue’s line will be barred from the clan genealogy.]
[Your descendant, Li Zhijing, devoted herself to cultivation in Northguard City and took a position in the Northern Border Army’s "Spirit Beast Stables" to manage the breeding of mounts.
Acquired Trait: Female Beastmaster Officer.
Beast Taming talent has grown; the speed of mount breeding has increased by 20%.]
——
[Year 603]
[Your descendants, Li Tianyi, Li Tianqi, and Li Tianming, aided by the various seniors residing within the 'Talisman of the Fourteen Profound Seals,' successfully broke through to the fifth-tier Divinity Transformation realm while in the Duravia Trade Prefecture.
The lightning tribulation they triggered caught a peerless genius of the Zhao Clan—who was only three centuries old and on the cusp of Divinity Transformation—and struck him dead instantly.
This incident caused Zhao Qingguang to cough up three liters of blood from sheer rage, further escalating the blood feud between your family and the Immortal Zhao Clan.]
[Your descendant, Li Zhiheng, and his spouse Sun Sixiu, have founded a Li branch family at the Perennis Immortal Palace.
Committing themselves entirely to the Dao, they have sworn to remain secluded until they reach the pinnacle of cultivation. Acquired Trait: Exquisite Dao Heart.]
[Cultivation speed is boosted by 100%, and Dao comprehension is enhanced by 30%.]
——
[Year 610]
[Sun Haotian, the patriarch of the Sun family in the Duravia Trade Prefecture, has chosen to break all ties with the Zhao Clan following a warning from Sun Sixiu.
By coordinating with the major noble clans across two Regions in the Duravia Trade Prefecture, he has entered a mutual defense pact with Perennis Immortal City to resist the Immortal Zhao Clan’s influence.]
[Your descendant, Li Yuanwu, has reached twenty years of age.
During his youth in Merit City, he observed an elderly farmer practicing martial arts without the use of spiritual techniques, yet he sensed the man possessed incredible power.
While the rest of the world focuses on spiritual techniques and dismisses martial arts as a path for mortals, he has chosen to follow this unconventional road.
After testing himself against a hundred beasts in the Broadlake Region mountains, he has dedicated himself to the Martial Dao. Acquired Trait: Initiate of the Martial Dao]
[Speed is increased by 20% when practicing the Martial Dao.]
[Your descendant, Li Yuanshang, was born with Four Spirit Roots but possesses a natural obsession with Spirit Stones.
He has since entered the Light Division of the Hall of Heavenly Principle to focus on commerce. Acquired Trait: Merchant]
[Year 618: In order to avoid a political marriage with the Nangong family of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, your descendant, Li Yuanshang, took Zhang Wan’er, an old farmer's daughter from Merit City, as his wife.
They relocated to the Imperial Capital the following year.
The pair founded a branch of the Hall of Heavenly Principle shops for the Li family and celebrated the birth of a son, Li Jianguo.]
——
[Year 620]
[Special Event—The Crown Prince Holds Court]
[The Human Emperor has designated his ninth son, Prince Sheng, as the heir to the throne.
The Crown Prince has begun overseeing the court, though he is notoriously stubborn and arrogant.
Claiming that the Imperial Preceptor is a blight upon the nation, Prince Sheng has stripped him of his oversight duties and placed his full trust in the "Heaven-Suppressing Department," an organization dedicated to hunting demons and ghosts.
Fuming with indignation, Imperial Preceptor Min Youguo resigned his authority and withdrew from all state matters.]
[During that same year, the Heaven-Suppressing Department ruled through bloodshed.
The deaths of twenty percent of the court officials have left the government and the public in a state of total turmoil.
The 4th Prince has mobilized his forces once more, swearing that the blades of Duskwild Prefecture will not be sheathed so long as the incompetent Prince Sheng remains in power.]
"...."
Li Wei scanned the logs meticulously.
The breakthrough had consumed forty years; it felt as though he had taken a short nap only to wake up to a transformed world.
He couldn't help but grumble, "Just who is this 'Prince Sheng' character? How does he have the nerve to move against Min Youguo?"
He immediately turned his attention to the status of his family.
Fortunately, Merit City remained a peaceful sanctuary away from the chaos, having expanded even further.
However, over the course of those forty years, it seemed an entire generation of descendants he had never met had come into the world.
