Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 838 - 833: Truth Of The Great Dao
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
Li Zhiheng resembled a Daoist priest in his looks, whereas his oldest son, Li Yuanwu, stood as a sturdy and heroic warrior with a remarkably coarse voice.
"Father, our branch fell short during this fight.
If the Old Ancestor hadn't shielded us, I might have gotten pummeled to death.
I've made up my mind: after we get back, I'll head straight to that mountain summit.
I won't emerge from closed-door training until I've mastered 'One Force to Shatter All Arts'."
The father of Li Qiukong, Li Jianshu, gave a solemn nod.
"I've already soaked in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Spring and gained a Single Lightning Spirit Root.
Once we're home, I'll ask the clan's Senior Wine Maniac to dispatch me to the Thunder Fire Devil Cave for training under the sky's thunderbolts."
"I'll retreat into seclusion under the Ancient Tree."
"I'll visit the Crab Clan and request Senior Qing Yuan's aid to train me deep in the ocean."
"I plan to venture into the Northern Region's Five Elements Forbidden Zone. I hope Cousin Aunt will bring me when she heads back there."
"...."
Li Zhijing observed as the Immortal Martial lineage folks kept sharing their cultivation plans one by one.
Her lips curved in a twitch while she pulled at her cousin's robe.
"Cousin... don't your folks have any real duties to handle?"
"Hm?"
One pair after another of wide, innocent eyes turned toward her.
Li Zhijing pulled back a little. "Like battling beasts? Gambling on stones? Do you all visit brothels?"
"..."
Li Zhiheng paused briefly.
"Cousin, you absolutely can't utter such words around my father. He despises those who live wildly.
Back in the day, I just went to meet my wife once, and Father thought I was too indulgent; he wouldn't meet me for three whole years.
That's when I realized: we're meant to stick to the rules, and pursuing cultivation is the sole vital pursuit."
"Father's mindset definitely holds wisdom.
Cousin, why not stay here rather than going back to the Northern Region?
You could train alongside us and refine your ways..."
"Cousin?"
Li Zhiheng gazed at Li Zhijing as she dashed off far away.
He gestured with his hand and called out, "I haven't finished sharing the Great Dao's truths with you!"
Yet she had already disappeared completely, fleeing quicker than she ever did amid the chaos of war.
Li Yuanwu knitted his eyebrows.
"Father, quit attempting to convince her. We can't match Cousin Aunt's branch.
Just like Grandpa Xinghuo, they're demon-slaying legends.
They possess innate strong talents, and the Grand Preceptor has lavished them with endless treasures.
Our household struggles with poverty, and our talents are terribly weak; we must grind through endless cultivation to even approach them."
"Yes, my boy makes sense. Dedicating ourselves to cultivation marks the true way."
...
"So frightening! That was utterly terrifying!"
Li Zhijing bolted the entire distance.
She only relaxed with a deep breath once the Immortal Martial lineage members were out of view.
"I nearly got dragged off by Cousin for some training."
Earlier, her cousin's face had mirrored the stern look her grandfather wore whenever he locked her in the cultivation room for drills.
But right after sighing in relief, envy flooded Li Zhijing's features.
"Truly worthy of the Immortal Martial branch.
They're already so prosperous, but they train with such fervor.
Even my grand-nephew boasts a Single Spirit Root; his potential is incredibly impressive.
When I return, I'll amp up my own training efforts.
I'll also send a message to Uncle Xinjue, urging him to push harder, or we'll truly disappoint Grandpa."
"It turns out the Immortal Martial branch strives so relentlessly because Eldest Uncle Xinnian keeps watch over them.
But isn't that overly strict? The famed Grandpa Xingchen must be a stern figure too, no?"
At the same time.
In some distant sea area, Li Xingchen—backing his wife while soaring on a flying sword and gripping reins to guide a massive sea turtle over the swells—suddenly let out a sneeze.
He grumbled quietly, then yelled to the joyful Fan Feixuan clinging behind him:
"Xuanxuan! Today we'll trail this sea turtle—hehe—and track down the North Sea Leviathan's den. I'll whip up a grand meal for you!"
"Mhm." Fan Feixuan bobbed her head eagerly.
Since Li Xinnian had matured, the pair had passed a century like a fleeting moment, their bond as strong as ever. Now and then, family thoughts surfaced.
"Husband, it's been ages since we saw Xinnian and the grandkids. The clan just faced a major conflict."
Li Xingchen dismissed it with a wave.
"It's way too distant; we couldn't return swiftly regardless.
Plus, the Old Ancestor mentioned we wouldn't contribute much to this clash.
Hehe, I sense the North Sea Dragon Palace from this treasure map lies nearby.
That's the ultimate prize!
My childhood aspiration is on the verge of coming true."
"Moreover, you and I are the renowned 'Divine Turtle Hero Couple.' We shouldn't reveal to other Daoists how many kids and grandkids we have."
"Why hide it from fellow Daoists?" Fan Feixuan widened her bright eyes.
"If word got out that our children and those grandchildren never ventured beyond Azure Cloud Prefecture, never explored the world, and only focus on cultivation daily... wouldn't that bring shame?"
"You're right about that."
...
"Ah-choo!"
Xinnian guided his wife Nangong Qingya, Su Chen, and numerous followers into the Zhao Clan's Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, where he abruptly sneezed.
Nangong Qingya scrunched her nose. "Xinnian, you've been sneezing a lot. Something must be causing it."
At her words, Li Xinnian flicked his hand.
"The Zhao Clan is no more. Word of a secluded power falling to my Azure Cloud Prefecture will soon echo across the lands.
My Azure Cloud Prefecture stands beyond others' greedy reach now."
"With the family's strength, it's natural that jealous sorts keep us in their thoughts.
I figure the sneezes are just from that—mere specks of breeze and grit."
"Mn." Su Chen dipped his head faintly.
Each homecoming made Brother Xinnian appear even more composed.
He felt deeply pleased.
"No surprise the clan chose you as Family Head. Your calm, unyielding nature is admirable."
