Inside the Divine General Mansion, the people were isolated by the Divine Formation of the mansion and remained unaffected.
However, deep within the Divine General Mansion, in the ancestral hall that stood beside the great mountain, all the candles before the spirit tablets suddenly flickered and almost went out.
Li Qingzheng, who was sitting at the entrance of the ancestral hall, had white hair and an aged body, and looked worriedly into the distance.
Seeing the countless strands of golden life vein power rising within the city, his body trembled slightly as he realized sothing and suddenly turned his head to look at the solemn ancestral hall behind him.
He saw that on those previously silent spirit tablets, streaks of golden divine light appeared and wafted out, revealing the heroic spirits.
The heroic ancestors of the Li family, who had not perished, were all revealed at this mont.
Each figure, extraordinary in posture and once stunningly famous in Jianghu for sixty years, stood atop their respective spirit tablets.
"The Life Wheel has appeared, everyone, it seems Qingzhou City is at its final mont."
"I did not expect to see the Life Wheel Formation activated in my lifeti."
"The seventeenth ancestor took the lead to sacrifice his remaining soul earlier to guide the bloodline; it seems it was not long ago. Now, it seems we need to build the last stretch of the road for these youngsters to return."
"We stand before millions of people; we must not let the people guard in front of us, my friends, it is ti for us to act!"
"With the Life Wheel Formation erging, what are we waiting for? Wear my remaining soul and fight!!"
One by one, the heroic spirits of the Li family's ancestors burst forth, all stepping out from this venerable ancestral hall that had stood and been worshipped for thousands of years.
Li Qingzheng, standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, watched these resolute ancestors going to battle, already with tears streaming down his face.
"You no longer need to guard here."
An ancestor passed by Li Qingzheng and said calmly, then imdiately soared into the sky, rushing toward the Divine General Mansion.
"It's been hard."
Other ancestors, as they passed by, also softly spoke to Li Qingzheng and then stepped out of the ancestral hall, flying into the distance.
One by one, the passing ancestral spirits brought tears streaking down the old face of Li Qingzheng; the burden he had carried for decades was lifted at this mont, but he could no longer raise his head.
"Elder brother, stop crying. Are you willing to join hands with and fight once more?"
Li Xuanyin, the third eldest of the Li family whose soul stopped by Li Qingzheng, spoke with a gentle gaze.
He appeared young, an older with a younger look, but he was indeed the elder.
Li Qingzheng looked up, seeing his third brother, who had died young but still appeared vibrant. Flooded with countless mories, he suppressed the sadness in his heart, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and revealed a sowhat relieved smile:
"This ti, I can accompany you!"
Li Xuanyin slightly smiled, and then his remaining soul suddenly radiated a golden light, like a feathered garnt, draping over Li Qingzheng.
"United brothers!"
"Their force breaks tal!"
Li Qingzheng's bones creaked, and his aged body, which had been sitting in the ancestral hall for decades, straightened its spine at this mont. His hair was still flowing white, but his eyes seed to regain the vitality of his youth, returning to those days when he carved out a formidable reputation on the frontier.
"Let's go!"
He took a step and soared from the ancestral hall, transforming into a stream of golden light, rushing toward the battlefield ahead.
And the other ancestral spirits stepping out of the ancestral hall bid farewell to the first ancestor of the Li family, represented by the golden body at the center, and then one by one, they flew out of the ancestral hall, rushing toward various parts of the Divine General Mansion.
Li Tianyuan was seated on the golden body, his gaze not overtly sad but revealing an extre desolation, a grief born from witnessing countless falls of his lineage and the deaths of many warriors.
He was waiting, waiting for the return of those Li family bloodlines, to forge bones with their blood and clothe them with his remaining soul, to fight vigorously once more for the generations to co!
And the other ancestral spirits were rushing toward_many Li family blood mbers within the Divine General Mansion.
Streaks of golden light streaked the sky, and everyone in the various courts of the mansion looked up, so in stupefaction.
During their worship of the ancestors, they had all seen the portraits of these ancestors; now, they all recognized that these were the lingering souls of the Li family's historical ancestors.
"Our ancestors..."
In each court, He Jianlan and Gao Qingqing, among others, looked up at the sky, watching the ancestral spirits flying from the ancestral hall, all stunned.
But the feeling that followed was a trendous wave of sadness.
"My child, are you willing to wear my soul garnt, to carry on my Dao intent and eradicate those demons?"
A spirited female general's soul landed in front of He Jianlan, her brow spirited and proud, yet her gaze was tenderly fixed on He Jianlan.
He Jianlan was shocked and hurriedly moved to bow, but was supported by a thread of the heroic spirit's power.
"Ancestor, but I don't have the bloodline of the Li family..."
He Jianlan recognized this was an ancestor from the 32nd generation, a female general who had commanded battles and made a renowned na for herself more than two thousand years ago.
"No matter."
The female general smiled, "Those who join the Li family are mbers of the Li family."
Upon hearing this, He Jianlan's eyes instantly moistened, and she nodded vigorously.
The figure of the female general flickered, and her body seed to burst into flas, turning into a golden light that enveloped her and transford into a golden battle skirt.
The power of her remnant soul and her Dao intent also rged with He Jianlan's divine soul, enabling He Jianlan, who was initially at the early stages of the Three Immortal Realms, to suddenly unleash the might of the Tao Heart Realm.
In other courtyards, the situation was similar.
In Flying Courtyard, Wang Xiangru looked at the inviting remnant soul elder before her, her eyes slightly changed, and her face paled a bit as she said,
"I, I..."
She stepped back.
The remnant soul elder slightly paused, gave her a deep look, and then said nothing, suddenly soaring into the sky and flying elsewhere.
Passing by Shuihua Courtyard, many ancestral remnant souls noted that there was a prohibition outside the Shuihua Courtyard, presumably for those imprisoned for wrongdoing, and then directly skipped over it.
In Linglong Court, two golden heroic spirits raced over and landed in the courtyard.
"Child, would you like to join in battling demons on the battlefield?"
A young man looked at Li Yuanzhao. Although he appeared young, his voice was very old.
Li Yuanzhao was stunned and timidly said, "Can I do it?"
"Do you wish to?"
"I certainly do!"
"Then it is settled."
The young man gave a slight smile, imdiately turned into divine light, and covered Li Yuanzhao.
A violent aura surged, and although Li Yuanzhao only had the cultivation of the Divine Travel Realm, he now erupted with the aura of the Three Immortal Realms.
"Just give your body over to ," the young man said softly, "You might die. Are you afraid?"
Li Yuanzhao's face shifted, and suddenly rembering the youth who had always walked in front of him since his childhood, his eyes suddenly shot forth a resolved light: "I am not afraid!"
"Good!"
The young man's carefree laughter spread, and then he soared into the sky, charging towards the battlefield ahead.
"Yuan Zhao..."
Xiao Yu Jing stared blankly, tears streaming from her eyes. She still had many concerns in her heart, and she hadn't truly invested much emotion in Li Yuanzhao before, but now, with the Li family on the brink of extinction and facing this life and death crisis, seeing Li Yuanzhao resolutely going to his death, she felt waves of pain she couldn't believe were her own.
"Madam, would you join in battle as well?" The elder beside her invited with a smile.
Xiao Yu Jing glanced at him, took a deep breath, "Marrying into the Li family was a mistake."
The elder was slightly stunned.
"But I do not regret it," Xiao Yu Jing said firmly.
Her husband had died in battle shortly after their marriage, which fostered so indescribable resentnt towards the Li family in her heart, but now, she seed to understand a bit of her husband's feelings during that deploynt.
The elder looked at her carefully and then said softly, "The Li family protects the border and is revered by the people, but it's hard on you won who married into the Li family. The Li family owes you."
With that, he bowed slightly as a form of apology.
Seeing this gesture from the Li family's ancestor, Xiao Yu Jing was sowhat stunned.
Years of accumulated resentnt in her heart suddenly seed to be struck by lightning, and her tears suddenly surged, uncontrollably starting to sob.
In contrast to the heroic spirits of the Li family's ancestors seeking people in various courtyards, so of the more violent heroic spirits directly burst out of Divine General Mansion, rushing to the Li family mbers on the battlefield, while so stood above Divine General Mansion and loudly shouted:
"Who of the Li family's blood is willing to join in battle to the death?!"
"I am!"
"!!"
From various courtyards, figures surged out, so of whom were strong mbers of the Li family's collateral lines.
After that, these figures enveloped by their ancestors' remnant souls rushed like teors to the battlefield to aid against the sweeping tide of demons.
