The Li Family of the Eight Great Sects in Xuan Country is not so second-rate or third-rate minor clan.
To be able to beco the leader among the fifteen participants in the Human Realm is in itself a recognition of his capabilities. However, Li Xiaoyao refused to accept this role.
Li Yiming frowned, unable to understand what was the reason for Li Xiaoyao’s refusal.
Was it because he was used to his freedom and saw others as a nuisance, a burden?
This, Li Yiming could understand.
"Xiaoyao, your strength, even within the Li Family, is very outstanding. Choosing you as the team leader this ti was also decided by your father. So, I..."
Before he could finish, Li Xiaoyao interrupted, "Third Elder, the reason I am refusing is that I have already promised soone else."
"Promised soone else? What do you an?" Li Yiming didn’t understand.
"I promised the Sect Leader of the Xuan Sect that this ti in the Human Realm, I will lead the Xuan Sect disciples into the Human Realm." That was the way Li Xiaoyao was, once he promised sothing to soone, he rarely went back on his word unless it was absolutely necessary.
Moreover, his relationship with Jiang Lichun was very good.
"Xuan Sect?" Li Yiming asked frowning, "The Xuan Sect of Zhongnan Mountain?"
"Yes."
After a few seconds of silence, Li Yiming said, "Since this is your choice, I respect it. Xiaoyao, but still, I hope that in the Human Realm, you can take good care of our clan mbers."
"I will." This was sothing Li Yiming didn’t need to ask; Li Xiaoyao would have done it anyway.
No matter what, he is a mber of the Li Family; if mbers of the Li Family Clan really encounter any danger in the Human Realm, he would not stand idly by.
"Alright then, I will discuss this matter with your father," Li Yiming nodded and looked at Li Pengcheng, "Pengcheng, this ti, the leadership of the Li Family team will be yours to bear. Do you have confidence?"
"I will certainly not disappoint the expectations of the Third Elder." Although he was annoyed at being a replacent for Li Xiaoyao, he was still happy to have achieved his ultimate goal.
As for the suppression he faced today, Li Pengcheng intended to get even in the Human Realm.
"Hmm." Li Yiming nodded with satisfaction, "About the Human Realm, let briefly explain it to you so that you’re not completely in the dark when you enter."
The three of them imdiately sat up straight, ready to listen attentively.
Even Li Xiaoyao had only heard a brief ntion of the Human Realm from Jiang Lichun. He knew that once you enter the Human Realm, no matter how powerful your cultivation level is, all of it would disappear. In the Human Realm, it’s impossible to use magical spells or absorb Spiritual Energy.
The only thing you can rely on is your combat awareness and the quality of your physical body.
Li Xiaoyao possessed a Golden Body, so even after entering the Human Realm where he could not use Spiritual Power, the restrictions on him were not great.
"The Human Realm is an ancient relic."
"This Human Realm was discovered more than ten years ago. Actually, the Human Realm is a small world. However, this world is full of restrictions, no matter the level of cultivation, once one enters the Human Realm, they can only utilize physical strength."
Li Tu interrupted, "Only able to utilize physical strength? What does that an?"
"Idiotic!" revealed Li Pengcheng with disdain, "It ans that in there, one cannot use Spiritual Power, and everything reverts to the most primitive state."
"There’s such a place!" Li Tu’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes," said Li Yiming, "That is the peculiar aspect of the Human Realm."
"But if it’s just about limiting Spiritual Power, this doesn’t seem to be anything special, right?" Li Tu raised the question.
Li Yiming looked at him with approval and said, "Indeed, if it were rely a restriction of spiritual power, that would not be particularly special. What makes the Human Realm extraordinary are its gravitational forces and perilous environnt."
"Within the Human Realm, the gravity is ten tis that of the outside world, aning, in the Human Realm, you need to bear ten tis your own weight. Moreover, there are many demon beasts in the Human Realm, and these beasts have adapted to such a gravitational environnt. Therefore, once you enter the Human Realm, the first thing you need to do is to quickly adapt to the environnt."
"Can people be killed?" Li Xiaoyao suddenly asked.
Li Yiming looked at him, startled, then nodded and said, "The journey through the Human Realm is a trial, a tempering. Since it is a tempering, there will be dangers. Under the protection of the family, you may grow quickly, but you will never beco a true strong person."
"The path of the strong is never smooth. Every strong individual has surely stepped on a mountain of white bones and corpses. They have braved nurous perils to qualify as strong."
"The Human Realm may not make you strong, but it will help you understand the price one must pay to beco a strong person. Rember, never look down on anyone. Even the most humble person, as long as they keep their eyes peeled, will eventually seize the opportunity to retaliate against the most powerful."
Li Pengcheng didn’t care much for these words, but Li Xiaoyao took them to heart, and Li Tu kept them in mind to ponder over.
In the Li Family, there were no poor people, but the psychological pressure on the marginal figures in such a major family was all the greater.
Like Li Tu, he was like a poor but ambitious young man, whose heart had never given up the dream of rising above others.
But the pathway to higher status was always reserved for the few. What those few had endured on their ascent, they themselves dared not fully recall.
"Third Elder, the Clan Leader seeks your presence," a clan mber ca over and said softly.
"Alright, I know," Li Yiming stood up and said, "Li Tu, co with to get the list. Later, go and notify them, let them prepare. Before we enter the Human Realm, ensure all affairs are settled with no oversights."
"Okay," Li Tu rose and followed behind him.
Li Xiaoyao also slowly stood up and said, "Third Elder, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."
By "leave," he ant leaving the Li Family, and Li Yiming naturally understood.
"Wait for a few more days, your father has so things to tell you."
"Hmm," Li Xiaoyao didn’t say much, turned around, and headed toward the guest room in the Dongyuan.
...
First, Li Yiming gave the list to Li Tu, before heading to Li Chengfeng’s residence.
"Creak~"
As he entered through the door, Li Yiming asked, "What’s the matter?"
Li Chengfeng put down his tea cup, his furrowed brows relaxing, and said, "A visitor from Da Lin Temple has arrived."
"Da Lin Temple from Canglan Mountain?" Li Yiming was sowhat surprised.
Why would Da Lin Temple suddenly co without a cause?
Li Yiming asked, "When did they arrive?"
"They are already in the reception room," Li Chengfeng replied. "This ti, Da Lin Temple ca without even sending a visiting letter in advance. The abrupt visit is truly strange."
"It is indeed odd," Li Yiming pondered for a few seconds. "Who knows what they’re up to."
"The visitor this ti is Monk Gui Hai," Li Chengfeng stood up and said. "With the Human Realm event about to begin, their arrival is likely related to this affair. Co, let’s et with them."
[The first Alliance Hierarch of this book has been born. To show appreciation, the author will add ten more chapters for the Hierarch. Additionally, Leng Ji is owed one chapter, Tian Zhi Dao three chapters, altogether fourteen chapters. Barring any mishaps, they should all be repaid in seven days!]
