Fifty days passed.
Nangong Qingya headed toward the Cliff of Contemplation.
Today was the day Su Chen's punishnt was to end. A slight frown was ever-present on her delicate face.
"Junior Brother Su Chen is truly extraordinary. In just fifty days, he went from the third layer of Qi Refining to the seventh."
As she spoke, a scene unconsciously flashed through her mind.
It was a vision of scorched earth. Her family's ancestor, Nangong Xianliu, was leaning on his sword, kneeling on one knee within a sea of fire.
Cultivator after cultivator was locked in a brutal slaughter, and the sky was filled with the smoke of battle.
A look of sorrow instantly filled Nangong Qingya's eyes.
Ever since she was three years old, she had dread of these strange scenes. Not even her clansn knew that she could dream of future events.
She was able to cultivate all sorts of techniques in her dreams, which was what made her the Nangong family's "favored daughter of heaven."
It was as if she were constantly repeating things she had already experienced in her dreams. There were many things that were about to happen that she was powerless to change.
But until...
"In my dreams, there has never been a Junior Brother Xinnian or a Junior Brother Su Chen."
Nangong Qingya let out a long breath. At that mont, Su Chen's figure appeared on the Cliff of Contemplation, and her steps grew a little more cheerful.
No one knew how lost she felt, living her life by constantly following the path laid out in her dreams.
She had even once felt that living in this world was completely aningless. But with the appearance of these two people, she saw hope.
The hope of breaking free from her dreams!
And, the hope of changing them.
...
[Year 474]
As the Old Ancestor, Li Wei was strolling through the family compound. Fortunately, the matter of Li Xinnian becoming the so-called [Fated Villain] had not yet caused any impact.
The Li family's main courtyard seed rather tranquil.
After the family had dealt with Prince Qian, both the Eternal Sun Prefecture and the Duravia Trade Prefecture were very peaceful.
The clansn and he had already grown accustod to their current lives; there were many things they no longer needed to handle themselves.
Li Dalong and Xu Cuihua spent their days cultivating inside the Heaven-Piercing Coffin.
The children of the Li family's second generation, Yaozu and Yaowen, were both in the sky above rit City.
[Your descendant, Li Yaozu, is comprehending the Sword Heart in the sky. He is using the technique taught by Li Yaoqing to absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth to heal Fang Linglong.]
[Your descendant, Li Yaowen, has reincarnated her twenty-sixth avatar, born in 'God-Hunter Village' in Duskwild Prefecture.]
As for Li Yaotie and Li Yaoqing, that pair were the darlings of the entire Heavenly Light Sect.
[Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, seeing the Human Emperor's body grow increasingly frail and knowing he cannot be saved, is simply collecting her imperial salary while refining dicine to send to the Imperial Palace, all while cultivating in the Heavenly Light Sect.
She has created a Rank 6 dicinal formula: "Human Emperor's Pain-Relieving Elixir."]
[Your descendant, Li Yaotie, together with his master, the Heavenly Light Grand Ancestor, has forged a suit of Dharma Treasure armor, ticulously crafted for his father, Li Dalong.]
At this mont, Li Wei appeared inside the Heaven-Piercing Coffin.
Li Dalong and his wife looked on with faces full of gratification at the storage ring and the family letter sent back from the Imperial Capital.
The two elders were extrely pleased.
"Our third child, Yaotie, is so filial, after all."
Seeing that her child only rembered his father and had forgotten his mother, Xu Cuihua felt a little sour.
"In the end, it's you, the father, who is closer to the child. Sigh."
"At your age, why are you still getting jealous?" Li Dalong puffed out his chest proudly, but still offered a word of comfort.
"Didn't Yaoqing also give you spirit dicine? Besides, our third child, Yaotie, said in his letter that he's already working with Senior Tianguang to forge armor for you."
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and try on the armor. It's the thought that counts, after all," Xu Cuihua said, just teasing him.
"Alright."
The middle-aged man opened the storage ring at once, but as soon as the item was in his hand, Li Dalong let out a sound of surprise. "This is..."
He saw a thumb ring in his hand.
The couple studied it for a long ti before they realized it was a Dharma Treasure that could transform into liquid armor.
Off to the side, Li Wei's expression darkened for so unknown reason.
Looking at the panel before his eyes, he rembered that this was the gift Yaotie had given him so years ago.
[Your descendant, Li Yaotie, offers a sacrifice to you—the Li Clan's Treasured Armor (Low-Grade Dharma Treasure)]
...
Inside the Heavenly Light Sect.
Li Yaotie rubbed his large, bald head, his face wreathed in smiles.
"Hehe, Dad has definitely received my Dharma Treasure by now. He must be overjoyed."
Li Yaoqing scoffed. "More like furious enough to die. By the way, Third Brother, you should wait another two years before trying to break through. Your cultivation relies on your physical body, and breaking through to the Divinity Transformation realm requires a powerful Nascent Soul. That will give ti to prepare and refine so spirit dicine for you."
"Alright."
Suddenly, Li Yaotie sneezed. He rubbed his nose, his brow furrowing. "What's going on? It feels like soone is cursing ."
At this mont, inside the Heaven-Piercing Coffin.
Li Dalong's thumb ring transford into a spiritual liquid, which gradually materialized upon his body.
The armor was incredibly domineering, and the deathly qi within it was surprisingly compatible with Li Dalong.
A sinister, almost tangible ghostly qi radiated from it, looking as if it sought soone to devour.
Li Dalong's face was as black as the armor.
Amidst Xu Cuihua's laughter, Li Dalong stiffened his neck and roared at the heavens, causing the many zombies within the Heaven-Piercing Coffin to tremble in fear.
"LI YAOTIE!!!"
On the front of Li Dalong's domineering armor, TWO large, extrely conspicuous characters were carved:
[LI YAOTIE'S DAD]
Watching from the side, Li Wei could already imagine how utterly shaful it would be if this armor were worn outside, with those two characters displayed on the chest for all to see.
But Li Wei couldn't laugh at all.
He also had a thumb ring on his left hand, one that could also transform into armor. And the characters on that one were even longer.
[LI YAOTIE'S OLD ANCESTOR]
