Chapter 63 The Li Family Arrives
Kyoto.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and clouds collapsed across the sky, as if it were the end of the world.
Countless people knelt in fear, and many burned incense and prayed.
On the mountain of seeking the Dao, the wind and thunder were raging. Centered on the altar, the surrounding vegetation was broken and sand and stones were flying. It was as if a wisp of yellow smoke was emerging from the eye of the storm.
Within the eye of the storm, blurry human figures slowly emerged.
All the civil and military officials hurriedly kowtowed, not daring to raise their heads.
Finally, the void trembled, and the first figure emerged from the eye of the storm!
This is an old man in a long robe. He has white hair and a youthful face, and his white hair gives him a very venerable and otherworldly air.
Then a second person appeared, a middle-aged woman wielding a long sword, beautiful yet sharp.
Then came the third person, also a woman, with a faint crescent moon mark on her forehead.
……
One figure after another appeared, and when the last bald old man stepped out, the yellow smoke finally dissipated, and the eye of the storm disappeared.
"Boom—"
In the sky, the last thunderclap sounded weakly before subsiding.
The chaotic energy of heaven and earth returned to normal, and all the civil and military officials and martial arts heroes on the Seeking the Dao Mountain looked up.
Then they saw the celestial beings appear on the altar, a total of twenty-three!
"Welcome, Immortal!"
"Welcome, Immortal!"
"Welcome, Immortal!"
Everyone shouted in unison, extremely excited.
The immortals have truly descended!
But as the upper echelons of Dali bowed and worshipped, these immortals all revealed a hint of mockery in their eyes. A middle-aged woman sneered, "Truly a bunch of ignorant ants."
“Fairy Qingling, even ants have their uses. Without them, the invasion of the Demon Realm would be difficult to resist.”
The old man with white hair and a youthful face smiled slightly, "I observe that the demonic army has already appeared, much faster than we expected!"
"Is what Elder Gu said true? According to the timeline, the Path to the Demon Realm shouldn't have opened yet, right?"
Someone asked a rather solemn question.
They were sent to this realm to resist the demon realm. If the demon army has already arrived... then they will be in a very passive position.
"It can't be wrong."
The old man, known as Elder Gu, took out a jade compass. The blood-red pointer on the compass jumped rapidly, pointing to the northwest. The old man said, "The Demon Realm has come up with some method to arrive ahead of schedule. They are already two thousand miles away."
Two thousand miles away!
For a moment, a shadow fell over the hearts of all those who had arrived.
Two thousand miles... that's practically within reach!
"Fortunately, the Abyss Realm still limits the strength of the Demon Realm people to some extent, otherwise they would be here to kill us by now."
"The demon army will arrive here in just a few days!"
"We must hurry!"
They all spoke up.
Elder Gu put away the jade compass and said, "Everyone, the method of blocking the demonic path is no longer effective. We can only use the Heavenly Sacrifice method."
Before descending upon the Abyss Realm, many important figures in the Immortal Realm had already formulated numerous contingency plans.
If the demon army hasn't arrived yet, that's the simplest scenario, and they'll expend the least amount of energy.
But the demon army has arrived, and it will take a great price to stop them!
"That's the only way!"
Everyone nodded.
Elder Gu stepped forward and calmly said, "We have come from the Immortal Realm to save the people of the Abyss Realm!"
"The demon army has arrived, and all living beings in the Abyss Realm are in imminent danger. Only those chosen by us from the Abyss Realm have the hope of saving everyone."
Where is the successor of the Tianwu Sect?
He spoke up and asked a question.
In the crowd, the sect leader of Tianwu Sect hurriedly stood up and said, "The current sect leader of Tianwu Sect pays respects to the Immortal Master!"
"Has anyone successfully cultivated the immortal techniques we passed down a few days ago?"
The old elder said.
The Sect Master of Tianwu Sect said, "Reporting to the Immortal Master, our sect's young sect master, Wu Tianyue, is almost at the point of successfully refining his Qi..."
Beside him, a young man also stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
He was Wu Tianyue, a young master who was considered one of the best, alongside Kujue, the Sun and Moon Twin Swords, and others.
"You haven't succeeded in Qi Refining yet?!"
Elder Gu frowned.
This speed is too slow!
The sect master of Tianwu Sect's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Immortal Master, you don't know, but Dali is currently lacking in spiritual objects. Tianyue's talent is absolutely not a problem."
With a wave of his hand, Elder Gu sent Wu Tianyue flying directly toward him, landing in front of him. Elder Gu placed his hand on Wu Tianyue's shoulder, sensed him briefly, and nodded: "His aptitude is acceptable."
"Fellow Daoists, where are your successors?"
Immediately, the others also began to ask questions.
"Where is the successor of the Sword Spirit Sect? I am Feng Moping from the Sword Sect of the Immortal Realm, come quickly!"
The middle-aged woman holding the long sword spoke.
"Among the monks of Duli Temple, are there any outstanding individuals? This old monk has not yet revealed them, but they are from the Great Brahma Temple in the Celestial Realm."
"Where are the successors of Zixia Academy and Taiyi Sect?" asked the woman with a faint crescent moon mark on her forehead.
……
In an instant, all the major martial arts sects in the arena stepped forward, and Ku Jue, Sun and Moon Twin Swords, Shi Zhong and Shi Hao, among others, were examined by the people from the immortal realm.
"As expected, most of the major martial arts sects in the world have extraordinary origins and are all related to the Immortal Realm!"
"These young geniuses will surely be selected and sent to the Immortal Realm!"
"How enviable! I wonder if the immortals will select more people? I wish they would choose me!"
The others were extremely envious!
"These successors, although they grew up in this impoverished abyss, all possess astonishing talent!"
After the test was completed, Feng Moping of the Sword Sect nodded in approval.
Even though Jian Yingzhou and Jian Yinyue's aptitude was not much different from that of the core disciples of their Sword Sect, they were still quite similar.
If this were in the celestial realm, it would probably have already shone brightly!
"Indeed, it is necessary to make a trip to the Abyss Realm every now and then, as the Abyss Realm will also produce outstanding talents."
"Given time, they will surely achieve great things in the Immortal Realm!"
Everyone sighed in admiration, but they didn't see the excitement and joy of a genius on their faces. Instead, there was a hint of regret in their expressions.
"By the way, Brother Daoling, are there any descendants of your Li family's ancestor, Li Qinghong, still alive?"
Suddenly, Feng Moping spoke to a middle-aged man in blue.
The middle-aged man in blue robes was named Li Daoling. He was accompanied by a young man and a young woman. He was the only one among the descendant to bring a younger generation of disciples. He took out a stone token, dripped a drop of blood on it, and the stone token slowly glowed. The light transformed into a sword, pointing in a certain direction!
"There are still people nearby."
Li Daoling spoke, his expression calm and composed, but the man and woman behind him both wore complex expressions.
Feng Moping said, "It is truly a cause for celebration that Senior Li Qinghong has descendants. My ancestor owed Senior Li Qinghong a favor and has always held a grudge. Before she left, she asked me to make sure to inquire about it."
Li Daoling cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master Zijian. Our ancestor Li Qinghong sacrificed himself to protect the Li family. We will treat his descendants well. Before leaving, our ancestor also said that no matter what, we must bring his descendants back."
The two exchanged pleasantries.
"The heavy responsibility of saving the Abyss Realm and resisting the Demon Army falls on your shoulders. However, none of you have truly succeeded in Qi Refining yet, and you are far from being ready!"
At this moment, Elder Gu spoke up, his words grave:
"You must immediately follow the true dragon of this era, go into seclusion to cultivate, and hone your array techniques. With the true dragon of this era as the moon and you as the stars, weave a net of human destiny, and perhaps you will have a chance to seal the demon realm!"
Elder Gu spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned serious.
Previously, news from the front lines had reached the capital that the Second Prince had died in battle and that the Demon Realm army had swept through the land unopposed. The world already knew this, but everyone's attention was focused on welcoming the immortals, so no one paid much attention to it.
Now that Elder Gu has said this, everyone realizes how serious this matter is, enough to make even those from the Immortal Realm feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy.
"Fellow immortals, I am the true dragon of this world!"
At this moment, Li Guan finally had a chance to step forward. He was pale from blood loss, but his eyes were filled with excitement and exhilaration. He said, "Li Guan is willing to serve you immortals like a dog or a horse!"
Emperor Xianxian also stepped forward and knelt down, saying, "Emperor Taishang Li Guan of the Great Li pays respects to all the immortals!"
Both father and son looked at these immortals with burning desire!
Emperor Xianxian has sought immortality for over a decade, and Li Guan has also paid an immeasurable price for this day. Now... it's time to reap the rewards.
"A true dragon of our time?"
But Elder Gu glanced at Li Guan and shook his head, saying, "Although you have already developed some true dragon aura within your body, you have not yet mastered the True Dragon Technique. Do you deserve to be called a true dragon of this era?"
Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in uproar!
"what?"
"Li Guan didn't master the True Dragon Technique??"
"If he didn't master the True Dragon Technique, then who paved the path to immortality?"
Everyone was surprised and suspicious.
"Elder Gu, where is the true dragon of this world?"
Feng Moping asked a question.
The ancient elder stepped forward with powerful movements, his hands forming hand seals, his magical power surging. A small mirror flew out, mysterious and profound, from which the faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard. Light emanated from the small mirror, forming a scene:
It was a palace, and within it, a pale golden light shone brightly, signifying extreme prosperity!
"The true dragon is right here!"
Elder Gu spoke solemnly.
"That's... the Brocade Palace!"
"What?! The Brocade Palace! Could it be that the true dragon of this era is not Li Guan, but Li Yue?!"
"How is this possible? Li Yue doesn't even have the necessary cultivation resources..."
For a moment, everyone was shocked!
