Chapter 1209: Chapter 1203: Heavenly Fire Dao Field
Li Wei felt that in this world, besides strength, there were other equally precious things, such as knowledge. Inheritance was extremely important.
Cultivation knowledge could allow descendants to avoid countless years of detours. However, such things were generally not taught to outsiders.
No wonder people said, “Having an elder at home is like having a treasure.”
The Body Integration realm was a domain that the clansmen had only just caught a glimpse of. The path ahead was like a thick fog.
Fortunately, heaven had favored them, and they had an expert to guide them.
[Your family has earned the appreciation of the reborn Nirvana Sage Elder.]
[The Nirvana Sage Elder was born weak and insignificant.
He struggled up from the Wu Tribe’s Divine Bird Totem, taking tens of thousands of years to reach the Void Refining realm, and eventually broke through to the Body Integration realm to bee the Sage Elder of the Divine Bird Tribe.
With a total of over a hundred thousand years of accumulated cultivation experience, he is thoroughly enlightened on matters past and present, and proficient in all kinds of arts and techniques.]
[Under the selfless guidance of the Nirvana Sage Elder, your family has mastered the method of forging Dao Fields, the cultivation methods of the Fire Dao, a prehensive understanding of the Dao Domain…]
At this moment, the Heavenly Fire Dao Field was extraordinarily bustling.
Clansmen above the Golden Core realm, if they had no pressing matters, would e from the City of Merit to the Dao Field and sit in a circle.
Beneath them were lotus platforms.
Within the Dao Field filled with magma and mountain fires, only these spiritual artifacts could protect their bodies from the suffering of the scorching flames.
The lotus platforms glowed, and the clansmen sat in concentric rings.
Spiritual qi swirled upward in a mist, illuminated by the red glow of the magma.
In the center of them all was a red lotus with a baby resting upon it.
As an aura emerged from the Soul-Holding Lamp, a red-haired old man with numerous braids patiently answered questions.
“Senior, this junior is currently cultivating the Heavenly Demon Talisman Seed, planting seeds within demonic beasts.
At the same time, I have a thin trace of Black Dragon bloodline in my body, so I am forging a half-demon physique while also walking the path of beast taming.”
“Since my studies have bee quite mixed, and I wish to break through to the fifth-tier of the Divinity Transformation realm…
I heard that breaking through to Divinity Transformation requires deducing a Primordial Spirit.
This junior has been deducing for many years. In your opinion, what kind of Primordial Spirit is suitable for this junior, and what fits my future development?”
Li Zhijing was endlessly excited in her heart.
Having cultivated to this day, even when she was in the Ephemeral Grotto-Heaven receiving guidance from Daoist Mosquito, it had never been as detailed as today.
She had never been to the Western Frontier and didn’t know where the clan elders had found this unknown old man.
They only said he was a reincarnated soul, vastly knowledgeable, and that if she had any doubts, she could simply ask.
She truly didn’t know where they had found such a kind and vastly knowledgeable mighty figure.
“…”
The Nirvana Sage Elder remained utterly silent. He was both pondering Li Zhijing’s question and looking down at his infant’s body.
Beneath his infant body was the Perennis Immortal Palace’s treasure, the ‘Perennis Flower’, which protected his physical form.
He had originally thought that after reincarnating, his life’s journey had just begun. Now, with this Perennis Flower, he felt he truly had reached the other shore.
The Li Clan was going too far! Making a dignified Dao Integration mighty figure like him guide these juniors—he might as well just die!
But catching a glimpse in the distance of Li Yaoqing shaking the porcelain bottle in her hand, which contained itching powder, his body unconsciously started itching again.
He immediately rushed to answer,
“If you wish to bee a half-demon, you will be disliked by Demons, Humans, and the Wu Tribe.
Since you tame beasts and possess dragon blood, why must you bee a demon yourself?
Even dragons are just a type of demon, and ordinary dragons are nothing more than mediocre.”
“Nothing more than mediocre?”
Li Zhijing was startled. As expected of a mysterious senior. With such arrogance, it seemed his abilities were only a notch below the Old Ancestor’s.
“In ancient times, each of the four directions of the mortal realm was watched over by an immortal god.
The one who ruled over the demonic beasts was the ancestor of all demons, an existence so exalted that no living being of this era could pare.
The Primordial Spirit is an object of deduction, a method to bat heavenly tribulation and defy the heavens to change one’s fate.
Since you have the confidence, why don’t you use yourself as the foundation and place yourself a tier above divine dragons?”
Seeing Li Yaoqing put down the white porcelain bottle, the Nirvana Sage Elder breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced around at the surrounding Li Clan descendants, whose eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge, and waved his hand. “Go and deduce it. Next.”
“Me, me, me!”
“I’ll go first! Senior, this junior is at the Golden Core realm, how can I…”
“If you don’t possess a fate-defying treasure, you should start planning how to raise your descendants early on. Do not waste resources. Next.”
A month passed.
The Heavenly Fire Dao Field was still bustling.
Li Yaotie was also receiving guidance from the little Nirvana child, acquiring some methods of deduction for the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire.
This was a rare occurrence in the world.
Usually, when a Body Integration cultivator dies and a successor inherits their Dao, the successor has to walk the path all over again from scratch. But now, it was a dead Fire Ancestor guiding a new Fire Ancestor.
Li Yaotie’s Dao path could be described as advancing a thousand miles a day.
[Your descendant Li Yaotie has made progress in the Heavenly Fire Dao Principles under the guidance of the Nirvana Sage Elder.]
[Heavenly Fire Dao Principles: 2%]
At this time, even Li Wei made progress along with him; his Heavenly Fire rules increased by one percentage point.
One day, while he was cultivating, the interface suddenly changed.
[Special Event — Forced Banquet]
[Your family has produced a Body Integration cultivator. According to custom, cultivators from all directions e to offer congratulations.
Since your family has not hosted a banquet, the various factions have all sent letters demanding that your family host one.]
[The Eternal Immortal Sect, Heavenly Monarch Dao Sanctuary, Zhangsun Clan, and Sword Pavilion have sent secret letters one after another.
Numerous Body Integration factions within the Imperial Dynasty are attempting to ‘help’ your family establish a Dao Field in their respective territories, intending to use the Heavenly Fire Dao Field to cultivate their own descendants.]
[…]
What followed was a long list of names.
After some inquiry, he learned that this was something basically every newly advanced Body Integration cultivator had to go through.
It was an unspoken rule within the Body Integration realm.
The most tragic were some geniuses who, having just broken through to Body Integration, thought they were powerful.
Someone would e to flatter them, offering both the method to forge a Dao Field and the promise of saving them numerous resources.
As a result, they ended up working as unpaid laborers for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
It was only because several major factions had a good relationship with the Li Clan that they informed them of this.
“Can’t afford to provoke them.”
Li Wei rolled his eyes.
These people were insane and hard to deal with.
However, sensing the little Nirvana child outside, drinking milk while tutoring the family’s descendants in cultivation, Li Wei also understood that if the family didn’t have this ‘grandpa’ present, they really might have been scammed.
He immediately informed the clansmen to send them away.
Rather than wasting time playing these games with these outdated factions, it was better to use that time to increase their own strength.
Moreover, Li Wei was currently more concerned with major events happening elsewhere.
Wenren Xianyi had been intimidated, but her previous words telling the family to move out of the Imperial Dynasty still made Li Wei incredibly cautious.
He kept feeling that last time, Wenren Xianyi’s target wasn’t the Li Clan, but someone else in the Southern Frontier.
And only a Body Integration faction would receive such attention, the oldest among them being…
“Ancestor Lan.”
Li Wei frowned.
“This old urchin is extremely bizarre, but why would Wenren Xianyi target him? I might as well just ask directly. Zhiheng was right when he said in the past that being secretive is just insincere.”
He immediately instructed Jianning and Jianshu to go and ask.
Li Wei opened the interface to check the situation.
[Family Will: 529,931]
Seeing the Family Will Points, Li Wei took a deep breath.
Dealing with Uncle Rain had cost him eight deaths.
Fortunately, Uncle Rain had returned 150,000 Family Will Points in the end, which showed he had a bit of a conscience.
The remaining points were enough for him to manifest five times, though he could also manifest with a Void Refining body.
Uncle Rain had left behind a lifebound Spirit Treasure long spear—the very one he used.
However, Li Wei couldn’t bear to part with the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear.
The sound of ‘clang clang’ came from the volcano within the Heavenly Fire Dao Field.
Little Tie was sweating profusely, fusing the spear spirit of Li Wei’s treasured long spear into the Spirit Treasure.
Aside from that was the spatial ring.
Many of the treasures inside the spatial ring had already been given to Little Tie to construct the Dao Field.
Uncle Rain had no family or ties, and he loved to rob people. The items in his spatial ring were parable to the entire wealth of the Zhao Clan.
With Li Yuanshang holding onto those treasures, Li Wei let him distribute them as he saw fit.
Among them were two more treasures.
One was a tattered blue robe—the one Uncle Rain wore.
Seeing the pierced marks on it, Li Wei felt an ache in his heart; these marks were all left by him.
[Low-Grade Spirit Treasure: Clear Dispensation Rain-Gathering Robe (Damaged)]
[Uncle Rain’s battle robe. It can accumulate wind and rain, transforming them into boundless Spiritual power.
The wearer can transform the Robe into the Rain Dao and, through the artifact spirit, unleash the divine abilities ‘Rain Dispensation’ and ‘Life Control’.
While wearing the Dharma Robe, rules have difficulty invading the body.]
[The Robe is damaged; its power is halved.]
“No wonder it felt like I was just scratching an itch when I hit him without using Body Integration Spiritual power.”
Li Wei muttered to himself and then tried on the Robe.
However, unleashing Uncle Rain’s divine abilities required municating with the artifact spirit through the Robe to use a portion of Uncle Rain’s Dao method.
In truth, Spirit Treasures like this generally followed by their master’s side and were tainted by their master’s Spiritual power, which was where these two divine abilities came from.
The Dao method of ‘Rain Dispensation’ meant exactly what it said; besides making it rain over an entire Region, it had no other use.
As for ‘Life Control’, Li Wei tested it out.
It wasn’t as powerful as Uncle Rain’s, but crushing one of the Seven Ironclads to death was still no problem.
“I’ll keep this thing on me and use the artifact spirit to prehend the rules of water,” Li Wei pondered.
“Once I can’t prehend anything else from it, I’ll give it to Tianqi. Tianqi loves courting death, and besides array formations, he doesn’t have many methods against enemies.”
The other treasure brought Li Wei endless joy.
It was an ancient, unadorned light blue jade cup, engraved with images of worldly prosperity.
Inside the cup was a viscous blue liquid that made one feel refreshed in body and mind and clear-headed with just a single sniff.
[Tier-3 Spiritual Entity: Heaven-Transforming Disaster-Flooding Resentment-Extracting Cup]
[Originally a Tier-4 spiritual entity, the Heaven-Transforming Resentment-Extracting Cup.
A spiritual entity bestowed by the Human Emperor to reward Uncle Rain for his merits in dispensing rain.
However, Uncle Rain’s rain dispensing had flaws: when the rain was too heavy, it accidentally caused flash floods; when the rain was too light, the rain dispensation barely lasted a few days.
Therefore, the mon people always held resentment. The Heaven-Transforming Resentment-Extracting Cup could extract all the resentment of the mon people and transform it into spiritual liquid.]
[This item was frequently by Uncle Rain’s side, transforming into a Tier-3 entity over the years.
Uncle Rain no longer helped dispense rain; he only watched from drought and flood-stricken areas, absorbing resentment.]
“Resentment Cup.” Li Wei felt the name was too long and shortened it a bit.
He then inspected the liquid inside the cup. Although it looked like there was only a small cup’s worth, it actually contained as much spiritual liquid as a lake. Heaven knows how much resentment it had absorbed.
“Hiss…”
Li Wei gasped, “In other words, Uncle Rain only went to watch and absorb resentment, but never drank it himself? Huh? Wait, whose resentment is this? Why is there so much?”
The liquid in the cup that had gathered the most was clearly visible.
Li Wei sensed it slightly, and his face darkened.
He heard Uncle Rain’s arrogant, domineering voice echoing from his existence.
[You lowly mortals, without me in the world, who can help you?]
[So what if you all die of drought? What use is worshiping gods? Listening to your resentment is like listening to immortal music, hahaha!]
[Why did you smash my statues?!!]
“…”
Li Wei was deeply shocked. The Resentment Cup was refining resentment, and even after tens of thousands of years, Uncle Rain’s resentment was still being refined.
However, Li Wei couldn’t laugh at all; instead, he felt a bit of sorrow.
He swirled the spiritual liquid in the cup. Spiritual liquid refined over tens of thousands of years… its aura was boundless, its effects transcendent.
It might have been useless to Uncle Rain, but for the family…
“We’ve struck it rich.”
“The whole clan is taking off.”
