[Year 481: Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, gifted the nurous pill formulas below Rank 6 that she brought back to the major sects.
This further enhanced the developnt potential of the Li family's subordinate powers, and nurous Pill Masters erged among the new generation of these subordinate powers.]
[Year 483: Li Yaotie broke through to beco a fifth-rank artifact refiner.
Senior Jin Yu of the Artifact Sect ca to learn from him. The Rank 7 spirit puppet refining technique spread to the Artifact Sect.
Spirit puppet refining beca a trend among Azure Cloud artifact refiners.
Jin Yu revered Li Yaotie as the "Spirit Puppet Ancestral Master".
A new unorthodox school began to spread, originating from Azure Cloud.]
[Fueled by the blood of the Void Refining realm cultivators Venerable Elder Baii and Ming Daozi of the Myriad Dao Immortal Palace, your family's Divine Tree, the "Primal Origin Blood Tree," once again produced a "Primal Origin Blood Fruit".
Your descendant, Li Dalong, decided to offer it as a sacrifice to the Old Ancestor at the next Great Ceremony.]
[Li Family Year 485: Your family established a "Scripture Pavilion" in rit City, housing the cultivation thods and techniques plundered by the family over many years.
Those with rit from Azure Cloud and Eternal Sun Prefecture can choose cultivation thods and techniques from the Scripture Pavilion to cultivate.]
[Li Family Year 490: You received the family offering, the Primal Origin Blood Fruit.]
In the room.
Visible on the huge screen, the image showed a secluded paradise suffused with Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi—that was rit City within the computer.
"Such dense Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi. If even the most ordinary cultivator ate this thing, it could produce a genius."
What Li Wei held in his hand was the Primal Origin Blood Fruit.
The fruit was fist-sized and blood-colored, with a peculiar gas flowing within it.
After thinking for a mont, Li Wei temporarily put the Primal Origin Blood Fruit into his storage ring. He stretched his muscles and bones.
"Better wait until before returning to the ga world to eat it. I can digest it slowly then."
Imdiately, Li Wei opened the room door, leaving an avatar in the room to watch over the family, and temporarily ended his "hobody" life.
What t his eyes was a living room that seed both strange and familiar.
As soon as he ca out, Yuexian was already walking towards Li Wei, "Master."
"Mm."
Li Wei nodded, his voice holding a hint of reminiscence. "Yuexian, fix so roast beef to eat."
"Yes, Master."
Watching Yuexian skillfully start cooking, Li Wei especially cherished such monts.
He hadn't seen Yuexian in over a hundred years, and he didn't know when they would et again. Through the wall, Li Wei could even imagine a scene.
"Xian'er~¹"
"Master~"
Reunited after a long separation, he took a bite of the roast beef Yuexian had cooked.
The old friend's skill was still as good as ever, filling Li Wei with much emotion.
Afterward, he looked at the news on his phone, and one look gave Li Wei a shock.
"Holy shit..."
[According to the Earth Security Departnt report, two days after the leader of the Salvation Army was arrested and imprisoned in California, California First Prison was attacked in a jailbreak by an unknown powerful expert.
There were no casualties during the incident.
It is reported that the perpetrator's mana was overwhelming, and even California's peak experts were unable to stop them. Currently, the perpetrator's whereabouts are unknown...]
Other people's teachers were featured on the school's outstanding teacher board; Li Wei's teacher was featured in the wanted notices on the news channel.
[According to reporters, the Salvation Army leader's transaction list was found.
The California Chief of Police from several hundred years ago had recent dealings with the party, repeatedly trading "nuclear bombs" and "anti-matter bombs".
The number of "anti-matter bombs" reached a staggering several dozen.
This individual is extrely dangerous. If their whereabouts are discovered, please contact...]
"..."
Li Wei felt as if struck by lightning. Boss Qi had been taken down too? What about the new company he and Boss Qi had established?
Yuexian, who was cooking the roast beef, noticed Li Wei's strange reaction and couldn't help but ask with confusion, "Master, what happened? You look terrible. You've been cultivating in your room recently; did sothing go wrong with your cultivation?"
"It's nothing."
Li Wei's mouth twitched, and he put down his chopsticks.
"I need to see my lawyer. You keep cooking; I'll eat when I get back."
Li Wei hurried out the door; with sothing this big happening, making a phone call was out of the question.
Sure enough.
As soon as he stepped out of his residence, Li Wei sensed many unfamiliar auras outside the villa area.
Boss Qi's arms dealing had clearly led investigators right to their doorstep.
Luckily, however, the big shots of the villa area were quite capable and had managed to block the people outside the villa area.
Just as he was going to find Lawyer Han, Li Wei saw a sneaky-looking, greasy middle-aged man around the corner.
"Young Master Li... Young Master Li!"
It had been over a hundred years since they last t, yet Boss Qi was as greasy as ever; wearing a black hat made him look even shiftier.
Li Wei's face darkened. "Boss Qi, what are you hiding for? If the people outside could actually get in, you'd have been arrested long ago."
"Ahem, ahem." Boss Qi awkwardly took off his hat, his few sparse hairs fluttering in the wind.
His face imdiately crumpled into a miserable expression. "Young Master Li, save !"
"Calm down."
Li Wei quickly asked about the course of events; after all, the news reports were rather general, and most importantly, what he cared about most was his new order—anti-matter bombs!
It turned out that after Teacher Xiao took command of the Salvation Army, she attempted to seize political power, claiming she wanted to restore the world to its original order.
Then... she was arrested, and Boss Qi was implicated and exposed along with her.
"So terrifying existence? I think that she just wanted to rebel and destroy the order." Boss Qi grew angrier the more he thought about it.
"Getting us into such a ss, and now that teacher of yours still wants to cooperate with us, asking us to rescue his sister!"
"Hmm?"
Li Wei paused for a mont. "You can still contact her? And her sister?"
It had been over a hundred years since they'd last t; Li Wei thought for a long ti before rembering that Teacher Xiao had a sister, who was part of the history team.
"Yes. He needs a large amount of Spirit Stones now. As for her sister, she's also been dragged into deep trouble by him; she's currently under investigation."
Boss Qi was clearly still angry. "Great, now I'm an accomplice. Hundreds of years of my clean record, ruined in an instant."
"..."
Li Wei looked Boss Qi up and down, unable to figure out how he still had a clean record to speak of.
He hesitated for a mont. "Can you still trade with him?"
"Yes."
Boss Qi answered without hesitation, then his expression changed drastically.
"Young Master Li, you wouldn't... still insist on going down the wrong path? Could it be... hiss~ You are the real mastermind behind the Salvation Army? You sought out just to launder Spirit Stones through for the Salvation Army's use? I..."
The more he thought, the paler Boss Qi's face beca. "So I was just a part of your plan!"
"..."
Looking at Boss Qi, whose imagination was running wild, Li Wei's mouth twitched.
Sure enough, the people of these worlds cultivate fast, but their brains aren't very useful.
Probably because they're too young, haven't experienced any great storms, sigh.
Afterward, Li Wei simply tossed Boss Qi a storage ring.
"Boss Qi, think whatever you want. Inside this storage ring are Spirit Stones, Heavenly Materials, and Earthly Treasures—all rare items in the world.
I want to see the anti-matter bombs. Oh, right, as for Teacher Xiao's sister, go find Lawyer Han; he should know what to do."
"Isn't this... isn't this not proper? I absolutely..."
Boss Qi was initially sowhat resistant, but as soon as he saw the vast amount of treasures within the storage ring, his eyes instantly lit up.
These items were enough to supply the young people of half a state.
He imdiately recalled the military salute of the Salvation Army mbers, stood at attention, and saluted.
"Mission guaranteed to be completed! We, the Salvation Army, represent true justice!"
Watching Boss Qi leave to carry out the mission, Li Wei frowned and quickly returned ho.
Cultivate. Must cultivate.
So that when they investigated him, he would have the ability to flee.
...
Earth National Security Investigation Departnt.
In the sky above, over a thousand lawyers dressed in suits rode swords, hovering in the air, poised and ready.
Lawyer Han, wearing sunglasses, walked out from the center, directly facing the Security Investigation Departnt's emblem, then landed amidst the terrified expressions of nurous staff mbers.
"Have your director co out to see !"
"I'll give you half an hour! Hand Xiao Qingling over to !"
"Otherwise..."
The lawyers' storage rings flashed continuously, and countless flying swords hovered above the Investigation Departnt, ready to descend at any mont.
Inside the Investigation Departnt.
A middle-aged woman anxiously opened a small, dark room.
Inside, Xiao Qingling looked bewildered; she hadn't even had ti to take off her work clothes when she was arrested.
That middle-aged woman glared unwillingly at Xiao Qingling.
"Miss Xiao, you have quite the background to be able to invite the famous Lawyer Han.
I've got my eye fixed on you; you and Xiao Qingluo attempted to undermine national security.
Sooner or later, you'll fall into my hands again!"
"..."
Xiao Qingling was still bewildered.
She had originally submitted her archaeological research report to the higher-ups, but hadn't expected to be suddenly arrested and brought to the Investigation Departnt.
Her sister, who was a teacher, had suddenly beco the leader of the rebels.
As she was led through the white corridors of the Investigation Departnt, Xiao Qingling quickly said to the female director.
"Wait, I have sothing I need to see the Head of State about! My Spirit Archaeology Team at sea found ruins; I've discovered ancient secrets! This world is in imminent danger!"
"I think you're the one in imminent danger! You and Xiao Qingluo are both lunatics!"
The Investigation Bureau director's expression was wary.
"No!"
Xiao Qingling's expression was solemn. "You have to believe . I've found a piece of history. You can co with to my research lab and see."
Half a day later.
Out on the sea region, inside a floating spirit ark, Xiao Qingling brought the mbers of the National Investigation Departnt.
Everyone looked at the ancient artifacts excavated from the seabed within, their faces showing expressions of shock.
In this space, the size of a football field, there was a huge sand table. Visibly, it was a massive blueprint, upon which were marked nurous unfamiliar locations.
"Th-this... what is this???" The Investigation Departnt director looked in horror at the objects within.
Inside were statues, and though it was unknown how many eras they had passed down through to reach the present day, they still retained an awe-inspiring aura.
On this huge map was a world domain that had never appeared in history!
At this mont, Xiao Qingling already appeared as if driven mad, frantically rubbing her head.
"This is our lost era! It once possessed a magnificent and turbulent history, giving rise to us of today!"
"The Mystic Civilization that appeared so ti ago also originated from this lost history."
"Our many ancient civilizations are also within it. It is called—"
"The Azure Dusk Dynasty!"
Aboard the Spirit Ark research lab filled with antiques, the Investigation Departnt director examined the ancient artifacts, which didn't look like fakes, bit by bit, her eyes filled with shock.
If all of this were real, human history would be rewritten!
Suddenly, she nearly knocked over a statue.
The statue wobbled; it depicted a man with his hands clasped behind his back.
The director's expression changed.
Fortunately, Xiao Qingling moved quickly and steadied the statue.
She glared fiercely at the director. "Be careful! This was a peerless genius of that era!"
"S-sorry."
The director looked apologetic because she had seen the stone stele beside the statue.
[Among all under Heaven, none stand beside him; among the heroes of the age, ranks hold no aning—]
[Venerable Chen]
