Chapter 195: Third Level of the Heaven-Piercing CoffinAfter discussing with Li Yaowen, Li Wei formulated his future strategy. They knew that a battle with their enemies was inevitable!
And it would be best to have this battle take place at the Li family estate.
Li Wei was well aware that places like the Skyveil Sect, with their Sixth-Grade formations, could neutralize a portion of a nuclear bomb's power. Moreover, within the sect, there were also formidable offensive formations.
According to Daoist Jiuyou, within the entire Azure Cloud region, the Black Tortoise Sect possessed the strongest defensive formations. They had once withstood a three-month-long charged attack from a Nascent Soul expert... Its power was comparable to the nuclear bomb Li Wei had detonated.
After pondering for a while, Li Wei made a phone call. "Hello, is this Boss Qi?" he asked. "I need more nuclear bombs."
After a long pause, it sounded like someone turned on the news on the other end of the line. An artificial intelligence voice spoke.
[Master, there have been no reports of nuclear bomb explosions on Earth in the past two days. However, someone did detonate an antimatter bomb with a yield of 0.5 grams at sea.]
"....."
Li Wei's face darkened.
Only then did Boss Qi's laughter come through the phone.
"Ahaha, Master Li, look at this, I've become an old uncle who sells nuclear bombs. Alright, let me see what I can do. Not many people know how to make those things these days, so I'll have to do some searching."
"I'll have to trouble you, then."
Li Wei spoke politely, then added, "Oh, right, I just heard about that antimatter bomb..."
"....."
As Boss Qi hung up the phone, Li Wei thought he heard him cursing at the artificial intelligence.
With Boss Qi's help, Li Wei felt relieved. The Li family's current strength was still quite weak. Nuclear bombs were crucial, and if he could get antimatter bombs, that would be... even better.
Just as he hung up the phone, Li Wei saw a notification window pop up. He quickly adjusted the time speed.
[Your descendant, Li Dalong, heard that the family needed formation masters to inscribe formations, so he returned. He brought back 18 cultivators loyal to the Li family from Dawn, the Thunderfire Cave, the Skyveil Sect, and the Demon Subduing Alliance. Among them were 2 Eighth-Grade Formation Masters and 16 Ninth-Grade Formation Masters!]
To avoid attracting attention, Li Dalong returned in secret.
Li Dalong soon met with Huang Xiujin. Because Li Kuangshi and Li Kuangcai were in the Thunderfire Cave, only four of the fifth-generation children were present. Li Dalong gave each of them an artifact.
These children had grown up listening to the stories of their Li family elders. Now, seeing their great-grandfather, they felt as if they were meeting a deity.
"Brother Dalong," Huang Xiujin exclaimed, "I've long heard about the great achievements you've accomplished out there. Hahaha, it's truly satisfying!" He had already expressed his amazement, recalling how he had first come to the Li family with the intention of destroying them.
But now, the Li family was far beyond his reach.
"You flatter me, Brother Huang," Li Dalong replied. "We were forced to do what we did. We are still in hiding, like rats scurrying across the street."
Li Dalong shook his head and smiled, then said gratefully, "Let's not dwell on that. I am truly grateful to you, Brother Huang, for all you've done these past years. I thank you on behalf of my children."
He stood up and bowed deeply to Huang Xiujin.
"You shouldn't, you shouldn't!"
Huang Xiujin quickly helped Li Dalong up. "To be honest," he admitted, "I had my own motives for helping the Li family. It was a gamble, a big one. If I won, my Cloudsea Pavilion would rise to great heights."
That was true. Li Dalong smiled and said, "Regardless, Brother Huang has shown great kindness to my Li family. I've heard that you've encountered some trouble."
"What trouble could I possibly have?"
Huang Xiujin's eyes darted around.
"Lifespan," Li Dalong stated. "Brother Huang, you cultivate the Art of Observing Qi. According to the lifespan calculation method, you only have eight years left to live."
Seeing Huang Xiujin's wry smile, Li Dalong continued, "Don't worry, Brother Huang. My Li family is not one to forget kindness. Over the years, we have found some natural treasures. These three items can extend your lifespan by twelve years."
Two pills and a fruit appeared in Li Dalong's hand. But upon seeing these, Huang Xiujin simply smiled wryly again. "Thank you, Brother Li," he said, "but it's unnecessary. Some time ago, I met Yu Xian, the former Pavilion Master of the Azure Cloud Pavilion. He said that my lifespan is short. This is fate, and fate cannot be defied."
"This..."
Li Dalong was taken aback. It seemed that all these cultivators who could predict the future were the same, firmly believing in fate.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Huang Xiujin said with a smile. "Brother Dalong, how long will you be staying this time?"
"I don't know yet. My wife has left me, so I might as well return home to cultivate and look after the family."
"Hm?"
Huang Xiujin's eyes widened. "Brother Dalong, tell me more," he urged.
Seeing the inquisitive look in Huang Xiujin's eyes, Li Dalong said disapprovingly, "At your age, what are you hoping for? My wife has found a secluded place; it's the perfect time for her to focus on cultivation."
"I see."
Huang Xiujin nodded slightly.
Unbeknownst to them, while they were talking, Li Wei, in front of the screen, was nervously searching through the family events log, afraid that this "best couple of the year," Li Dalong and Xu Cuihua, might be experiencing some kind of seven-year itch.
[The family's force, Dawn, has discovered a Heavenly Fox Secret Realm! Within it lies a legacy of demonic techniques for those with a bloodline. Xu Cuihua has gone there to cultivate and is expected to break through to the peak of the Demon King realm!]
"That gave me a fright."
Li Wei rolled his eyes and quickly sped up time.
Li Dalong, as usual, returned to the Silver Iron Forest.
However, with all the demonic beasts from the Silver Iron Forest now venturing out with Li Tianshuang, known in the martial world as the Beast King, the place had been renamed.
[Li Family Secret Territory]
Upon arriving, Li Dalong found a cool spot, lay down in the coffin, and closed the lid.
In an instant, Li Wei entered the space within the Heaven-Piercing Coffin through the screen.
This space was different from what Li Wei had seen before!
The first two levels of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin were filled with countless zombies and corpses, their realms ranging from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment. The third level was a vast expanse of white.
[Third Level of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin]
[For every thousand meters traveled forward, the density of spiritual power and oppressive aura increases. Reaching the end, the pressure is equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.]
The first two levels cultivate combat experience, while the third level cultivates spiritual power!
Seeing the scene within, a smile appeared on Li Wei's face.
Inside, there was the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord, and also... 12 corpses. During their lives, all of them were at least at the Golden Core stage.
And what delighted Li Wei was seeing an old friend here— Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Xuan Tianzi!
As Li Dalong entered, Xuan Tianzi, still in her original form, opened her crimson eyes. She knelt on one knee and spoke in a human voice.
"Greetings, Master!"
