Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 840 - 835: Dao-Pattern Heavy Water

Li Wei tallied on his fingers, his gaze brimming with a splendid outlook on what lay ahead.

Guided by the Old Tree, this band of followers had the potential to build an unrivaled force for advancement.

Right in the midst of his plotting, Su Chen—the wise and battle-hardened ex-Hall Master of the Peerless Hall—abruptly soared across the waters of the Immortal Zhao Clan’s lake.

"Something’s wrong. There is something strange about this lake!"

At the startled shout, Li Wei arched an eyebrow and noticed the family already starting to probe the lake’s surface.

He quickly dropped down toward the lake’s heart.

The waters exerted a tremendous, oppressive force, yet Li Wei moved through them without hindrance. As he plunged into the depths, a gasp of astonishment escaped him.

"Huh?"

Deep inside the lake lay yet another hidden lake!

The lakebed ought to have been shrouded in total darkness, but instead, it shimmered with rainbow hues and was enveloped in a radiant emerald fog.

[Fourth-Rank Spirit Item: Dao-Pattern Heavy Water]

[When used in battle, it can suppress an enemy’s Spiritual power.

Cultivators practicing within it will find their minds tranquil; the Heavy Water simulates the laws of the world, aiding in the cultivation of techniques!

If the injured enter it, they can absorb Spiritual Qi to heal their wounds.

Those below the Golden Core realm cannot enter.

The lower one’s cultivation base and endurance, the shorter the time they can withstand cultivating inside.]

"Good stuff!" Li Wei’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

In earlier times, the initial and secondary levels of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin served as crucial practice areas for the family’s cultivators.

There, endless fights against zombies and Flying Zombies allowed them to sharpen their cultivation methods and techniques.

Yet, as the Heaven-Piercing Coffin and the clan members advanced in power, this feature’s usefulness had gradually diminished.

For quite some time, the clansmen had depended solely on personal diligence for their cultivation.

Be it the "Primordial Spirit Techniques" granted by Heaven and Earth or the "Earth-Tier Techniques," each one proved extraordinarily tough to grasp.

Even cultivators reaching the Divinity Transformation realm, or perhaps the Void Refining realm, might spend their whole lives failing to perfect even a single such technique.

However, the Zhao clan members... following this clash, their actual prowess shone through the sheer might of their techniques.

Consider Yaozu—he got crushed in one strike by Zhao Wan.

Or even Zhao Qingxia: though the guy was a total monster in build, no denying his mastery over techniques was impressive.

"I suspect the reason they were able to cultivate to such a level relies entirely on this Dao-Pattern Heavy Water!"

...

As per Li Xinnian’s estimate, the plundering effort would require at least a full year to thoroughly ransack the entire Immortal Zhao Clan.

Li Wei secretly wished it would drag on even more; that would simply mean the Zhao Clan’s wealth was even vaster.

Spirit boats kept streaming in from the Azure Cloud Prefecture.

Divinity Transformation realm cultivators personally guarded the massive treasures, directing them to the Merit Grotto-Heaven.

Seven days elapsed.

The fight in the Void Refining Space of the Immortal Domain raged on fiercely.

Nevertheless, the gore-soaked earth of the Immortal Domain proper had long been cleared of all flesh and blood remnants.

The families and ordinary people across the Azure Cloud Prefecture required fertilizer, naturally.

Besides, leaving such a heap of gore untreated could spark epidemics and spawn vile creatures.

Li Wei cast a quick look within and couldn’t help knitting his brows.

That Void Refining Space had been a snare set by the Immortal Zhao Clan amid their assault on the Zhao Clan Ancestor.

It brimmed with all sorts of arrays, and almost every Dharma Treasure from the Azure Cloud Prefecture had been deployed to block the Zhao Clan Ancestor’s getaway.

Still, that ancient fellow proved incredibly tough.

Despite his thoughts muddled by diverse techniques and under relentless pressure from the Seven Ironclads and the Blood Demon Lord, he persisted in resisting.

As the conflict pressed on, envoys from the Imperial Capital made their appearance.

A spirit boat emerged on the horizon; a senior official from the Heavenly Palace had arrived.

The middle-aged official stared in dread at the turbulent Spiritual Qi still tearing through the Immortal Domain—the lingering chaos from the Immortal Zhao Clan’s massive battle—before proceeding to the Immortal Grotto-Heaven.

Li Xinnian had stepped out from the Grotto-Heaven to greet him. "Lord Hu."

This Lord Hu ranked as a vital advisor near the Grand Preceptor.

Li Xinnian gave a subtle nod to the official, advanced a pace, and discreetly passed a storage ring into his grasp.

A wide grin spread across his face; at last, he, Li Xinnian, could indulge in some lavish generosity.

From now on, who in the realm would dare label him miserly?

"Your Excellency must be the Head of the Li family.

I have long heard that despite being less than two hundred years old, you already shoulder the immense estate of the Azure Cloud Li Clan.

Seeing you now, you are indeed a man of striking talent; dragons and phoenixes among men such as yourself are a rare sight within the Azure Dynasty."

Lord Hu quietly stowed the storage ring and replied straightforwardly,

"The Lord Grand Preceptor has returned to the imperial court and is burdened with heavy affairs; otherwise, he would certainly have visited in person.

His Venerable Self had long heard of the matters concerning the Immortal Zhao Clan.

The world is indeed not at peace."

Li Xinnian creased his forehead and offered another storage ring.

"Lord Hu, you serve at the Lord Grand Preceptor’s side year-round.

What is His Venerable Self’s perspective on this matter?"

"The members of the Li family’s Hall of Heavenly Principles blocked cultivators arriving from all directions.

The Lord Grand Preceptor has some misgivings regarding this matter.

And it is not just him; the entire nobility of the Imperial Dynasty now views the Azure Cloud Prefecture with newfound respect."

Upon hearing this, Li Xinnian’s eyes sharpened.

From those brief remarks, he had already grasped the underlying intent.

In reality, this confrontation hadn’t gone unnoticed by the myriad influences in the Azure Dynasty.

This result was precisely what they had hoped for.

Shadowy hidden sects frequently stirred turmoil across the lands, and now the Immortal Zhao Clan had been wiped out right in the Azure Cloud Prefecture.

Going forward, any who sought to rampage in the Azure Cloud Prefecture would need to ponder if they dared to provoke the Li family’s might.

As for barring outsiders... that stemmed from his seniors’ prior intent to claim the Zhao clan’s loot exclusively.

"As expected, the old ginger is spicier."

Li Xinnian lifted his brows.

Thinking back to his anxiety at the outset of the Immortal Zhao Clan war, a flush of embarrassment rose in him.

Maybe this whole conflict had been a grand game for his elders all along, each action a deliberate play.

"This lower official has come this time under the orders of the Lord Grand Preceptor to discuss the matter of the Crown Prince."

"...."

The edge of Li Xinnian’s lip quivered.

He had heard plenty about the amorous ties between Crown Prince Sheng and Zhao Wan.

It appeared Crown Prince Sheng... had lost his senses.
