Many geniuses relied on resources to pile up to the limits of the Fifteen Li Realm but would get stuck at the Heavenly Human Realm. With the Merit Treasure Vault now available, it was as if these geniuses were given a higher express lane.
“Remember, try your best to pass through Mo River. Don’t just destroy it with brute force. Currently, Mo River is a precious resource. If destroyed, it will vanish, and the loss of merit would be a hundredfold difference.”
Wang Zhenping cautioned.
Now Mo River was no longer a terrifying presence; instead, it had become a scarce resource protected by them. At least the Mo Rivers that the Wang Family had discovered were all guarded by the military, completely off-limits to the average person.
After all, destroying it would lead to its disappearance, and the benefits would be too low. Now everyone was striving to pass through Mo River to maximize the benefits, but passing it was extremely difficult. Therefore, current explorations of Mo River meant either choosing to fail and retry or succeeding in passing through. These were the current strict rules of the Wang Family for handling Mo River, unlike before, where the goal was simply to destroy it to reduce the number of Mo Rivers within the Dayu territories.
Such a reversal of perspectives was rather normal.
If eating excrement could grant immortality, even dogs wouldn’t queue up for it.
“Your talents are not bad, although not comparable to Li Qianfeng of your Li Family, but with the support of our Wang Family and utilizing the current Mo River resources, we can reserve the lower level Mo Rivers specifically for you to accumulate merit. Once you amass ten thousand points, you can exchange it for Extreme Realm cultivation, which will provide you the power to surpass your limits. Once obtained, you will completely leave behind other prodigies. Li Qianfeng wouldn’t be able to compare.”
Right before leaving, Wang Zhenping continued to impart these instructions to the two.
Hearing their grandfather’s earnest teachings, the siblings both nodded, their eyes slightly gleaming.
During their time with the Wang Family, the numerous pieces of information they heard had greatly broadened their horizons, and they were extremely longing for the Universal Force Extreme Realm.
If they could obtain it, then when the Li Family next competed for the True Dragon, they would no longer just be onlookers!
“I’m leaving first; I’ve already sent a message to your Uncle Xianzhou and will have him adjust the entry time for your profiles to Mo River.”
Wang Zhenping said, then handed the children over to his old butler, and hurriedly left.
The siblings exchanged a glance, their expressions worried, unsure if their grandfather could bring their mother back.
“It’s a pity. I heard that the madman died, not giving us a chance to catch up,”
Li Jiangying said, looking in the direction his grandfather had left; his eyes flickered as he murmured.
As the people of the Li Family this generation, ever since that youth had emerged two years ago, they had all been overshadowed by him.
That youth was gloriously brilliant, too dazzling, completely overshadowing even the Direct Disciple of the Buddha Lord, let alone themselves.
As a youth, how could his heart not be filled with anger and jealousy?
The deeds from Liangzhou had spread to the siblings. They were aware of the even wider gap now between them and that youth. Initially, they were disheartened, but the emergence of the Merit Treasure Vault gave them hope, a chance to catch up.
Although that youth was already far ahead, once he reached the Four Stands Realm, he would eventually have to stop.
Much like the older generation in their family who, after reaching the Four Stands Realm at thirty-four, remained there for decades, hundreds of years, until they died in battle without making further breakthroughs.
The higher the realm, the slower the progression. They might have fallen behind in the early sprint, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t catch up later.
This Merit Treasure Vault and the resources from their maternal family were their greatest hope and confidence now.
“That person was too arrogant. Even the heavens couldn’t stand it anymore. Do you think the family’s current disaster could be because he was too rampant in Liangzhou, causing those demons to vent their anger on our Li Family?”
Li Rumeng mentioned that person, her teeth gritted in secret, a flash of resentment passing through her bright eyes.
“Maybe, but those demons should have attacked Heaven’s Gate Pass instead of coming to the Li Family. It could be another reason,”
Li Jiangying said, murderous intent appearing in his eyes: “I was thinking of accumulating merit to exchange for Extreme Realm cultivation from the treasury and then properly challenging him to a duel to return that slap you received back then. Now he’s dead. If our mother faces another mishap, even if he’s dead, I won’t let him go. One day, I’ll find the Mo River harboring his remnant soul and make him beg for death!”
Upon hearing his brother’s words, Li Rumeng’s eyes filled with worry:
“Mother will be alright, won’t she? Grandfather should make it in time, he is of Ultimate Study Realm, surely not inferior to second uncle…”
“It’s too far away…”
Li Jiangying’s eyes also showed concern.
…
…
Since the release of ancestral blood from Qingzhou, Dayu far and wide felt the call.
“It’s the call of our ancestors, our family is in trouble!”
“Our Li Family has come to this? How could this be, what happened in Qingzhou?”
“Father, aren’t we surnamed Zhao? How come we also feel the resonance?”
“Your grandmother was surnamed Wang and married into our Zhao Family. The bloodline in you is faint, but the fact that you can feel the call means the Li Family blood is still there!”
“These years, thanks to your grandmother’s connections, our Zhao Family’s business has been doing better and better, settling firmly in Cloud Mist City.”
“So should we also go?”
“Yes, of course, we should go. That’s your grandmother’s family, and the Li Family has protected our great Dayu for over a thousand years. Now that the Li Family is in trouble, how can we not go?”
“Master, are you also going?”
“Yes, my disciples, wait here for me to return. If I do not come back, the eldest among you will take my place.”
“Great-grandmother, are you also going?”
“Yes, fetch me a horse.”
From Nineteen Provinces, every state, city, town, and village, individuals who felt the call of their bloodline were all shocked. Some withdrew, but many more resolutely decided to start on their journey and rush toward Qingzhou.
Like the stars once scattered across the sky, they now converged like rivers flowing into the sea, gathering toward Qingzhou!
That was the ancestral homeland in their blood, the Divine General Mansion that carried over three thousand years of glory, and the direction they yearned for countless times.
Their departure also alerted the factions of the Nineteen Provinces. The bloodlines of the five great Divine General Mansions, having spread far over thousands of years, now as these people moved, almost all the forces in the entire Dayu Divine Dynasty were made aware of Qingzhou’s situation.
This included major forces like Tianji Tower.
Among them, some were blood-relative Elders and Lords of the Li Family. They not only left themselves but also leveraged the power within various factions, mobilizing all available forces to head for reinforcements to Qingzhou.
This was the deeply intertwined and rooted heritage of the Divine General Mansion.
They gathered in groups, some riding fast horses, others soaring through the sky. Stay tuned to empire
Some raced down from famous mountains, carrying swords, light-footed, rushing toward those mountains and rivers tens of thousands of miles away.
Some stepped out of their esteemed pagodas, soared into the sky, and resolutely galloped away.
As the heroic spirit of a Li Family ancestor dissipated, it called from thousands of miles away countless bloodlines, surging toward that greatly troubled state plagued by demons and already steeped in misery.
