Chapter 126: Mu Tianhao
"Gather the 'Human Flower'!" Suddenly, Li Chengzhi shouted, and the 'Human Flower' at his spiritual root suddenly condensed into a form.
In an instant, waves of water surged around him.
A mist rose from his body.
A 'human flower' with steaming water vapor appeared above his head.
At this moment, outside the meditation room, a vast expanse of water vapor also filled the air.
A vast expanse of water elemental churned in the air.
"A sea of water vapor and flowers... We've successfully created the 'human-flower' fusion!"
Inside the distant array platform, Li Fuhai was overjoyed. He looked at the distant training room with a burning desire.
On the battle platform, Li Yourong, Li Feiyu, and other core members of the Li clan all looked towards the battle chamber with expectant expressions.
If the Li family had one more Foundation Establishment cultivator at this time, their chances of defending "Earth Flame Island" would increase even further.
At least it can buy them time until the Fu family comes to their aid.
boom!
However, at that moment, the churning water outside the array where Li Chengzhi was located suddenly dissipated, turning into scattered water droplets.
Inside the cultivation room, the 'human flower' suddenly disintegrated, turning into water vapor and disappearing.
At this moment, the 'human flower' above Li Chengzhi's spiritual root trembled and suddenly disappeared, turning into liquid magic power that scattered.
A surge of powerful magic flowed into his meridians.
puff!
Li Chengzhi shuddered and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The "human flower" has collapsed.
His energy and spirit were unstable; he was still lacking something and failed to open his dantian and establish a foundation for immortality.
……
On the battle platform.
"Failed?" Li Fuhai's excited smile froze as he looked incredulously at the training room in the distance.
"Why!"
Li Wannian sighed and said, "With a formidable enemy at hand and my emotions in turmoil, how can I possibly gather the 'Human Flower' in one go?"
During the foundation building process, the most taboo thing is having someone affect your state of mind.
Many people even adjust their condition to its best before establishing their foundation, preparing for several months.
Boom! Boom!
Meanwhile, high in the sky, the array's light barrier was under constant attack.
Li Changyan and Li Qufeng both coughed up blood again.
The two continued to take pills, but they were also running out of energy!
"Next, it's up to Xian'er!" the elder of the Li clan whispered, his gaze turning toward another cultivation room in the distance.
If Li Xian cannot successfully establish his foundation within two quarters of an hour, I fear that Earth Flame Island will not be able to hold out.
……
At this moment, Yang Jiuli arrived at the foot of Hanlu Island.
When he saw the four coffins in front of him, his heart finally settled down.
呲!
The Xuan Yu Python transformed into a small snake and crawled up Yang Jiuli's feet to his neck, rubbing against his neck affectionately. Then the little guy looked at the coffins in front of him and showed a cute smile.
It seems to be showing its masterpiece to its owner.
"You did a great job!" Yang Jiuli nodded slightly and took out a 'Beast Spirit Pill' and tossed it to the little guy.
The little guy smiled innocently and swallowed the 'Beast Spirit Pill'.
At this moment, Yang Jiuli arrived in front of several coffins.
With a solemn expression, he moved his hand, and a small jade table appeared.
At the same time, a palm-sized incense burner appeared and landed on the table.
He took out nine incense sticks, lit them, and stuck them into the incense burner.
"Esteemed patriarchs of the Li clan... the descendants of the Li clan are currently being slaughtered by a formidable enemy... tonight, out of gratitude for the Li clan, we have come to request your assistance... we believe that for the sake of the continuation of the family... you are willing to continue to contribute your talents and efforts, are you?"
Yang Jiuli put his hands together in prayer.
"If this incense does not burn out within three breaths, then it shall be taken as your agreement!"
Three breaths passed in the blink of an eye.
"Very good!" Yang Jiuli straightened up.
Then, with a flick of his hand, the official lids on the coffins were lifted one by one.
A fragrant aroma wafted through the air.
This stirred something within Yang Jiuli, and his eyes lit up with joy.
His divine sense revealed that the Li family's ancestor was remarkably well-preserved inside the four coffins.
Inside the coffin were not only many medicinal herbs, but also spiritual objects such as cold jade.
"The 'Past Life Talisman'!" Yang Jiuli's mind sank into his sea of consciousness, immediately activating the 'Past Life Talisman' formed by the Three Lives Stone.
Instantly, eight 'Past Life Talismans' flashed with light, each giving rise to a 'Talisman Seed' that flew out from his brow and sea of consciousness.
These 'talisman seeds' were planted between the eyebrows of the four Li family ancestors inside their coffins.
Each ancestor was implanted with two 'talisman seeds' in order to prepare for future changes.
The next instant, a row of numbers appeared next to each of the eight talismans from the previous life: the talisman seed has been planted and is waiting to be activated.
Yang Jiuli's spiritual power transformed into a finger and touched a talisman next to him.
"Activate..." Yang Jiuli suddenly activated the talisman seed from the previous life planted on the corpse of the Li family ancestor, Li Fengyue.
"In the name of stone, with talisman as the guide, I connect with the ancient past and illuminate the netherworld... I command all living beings throughout history, whether born from womb or egg... whoever receives this talisman seed, their spirits from past lives will obey my command... Li Fengyue, soul, return!"
Within his sea of consciousness, Yang Jiuli began chanting incantations.
In that instant, the Three Lives Stone shone brightly, evolving into a vortex, within which a long river of time truly emerged.
Over the course of time, a blurry figure began to gradually take shape.
This was a dashing middle-aged man with striking eyebrows and bright eyes. His domineering gaze exuded an air of power and authority.
This man was none other than Li Fengyue, the patriarch of Yunmeng Lake, and a talisman seed from his previous life was clearly manifested between his eyebrows.
As Li Fengyue's true spirit body took shape, Yang Jiuli separated a wisp of his divine consciousness and injected it into the talisman seed from his past life between Li Fengyue's eyebrows.
In that instant, Yang Jiuli's wisp of divine consciousness felt dizzy and entered a spacetime tunnel.
Then, it was as if he had arrived in another time and space.
This is a courtyard overlooking a lake.
A seven-year-old boy was sitting cross-legged by the spirit pool, sensing the heavens and earth and beginning to absorb the energy.
This boy is the young Li Fengyue, but now it is Yang Jiuli's consciousness that has taken over.
He is Li Fengyue, and with the help of the talisman from his past life, one can observe the entire life of 'Li Fengyue'.
You were born into a Foundation Establishment family, and your great-grandfather, Li Zhangli, was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in the family.
When you were five years old, your spiritual root was found to have a wind attribute compatibility of 56, which is considered a mid-to-high grade spiritual root aptitude.
As the best spiritual seedling in the family in three hundred years, it was given high hopes.
At the age of 6, you observed the "Wind Gathering Technique" and successfully gathered a wisp of "Wind Spirit Qi," thus embarking on your path to immortality.
At the age of 8, you entered the second level of Qi Refining.
At the age of 11, you entered the third level of Qi Refining.
At the age of 14, you entered the fourth level of Qi Refining.
At 16, you reached the fifth level of Qi Refining...
At 19, you reached the sixth level of Qi Refining...
At 22, you reached the seventh level of Qi Refining...
At 26, you reached the eighth level of Qi Refining...
At 30, you've reached the ninth level of Qi Refining...
While traveling to a mountain range in the west in search of a foundation-building opportunity, you received a second-tier array-building inheritance from an ancient cultivator.
With this, your strength will increase exponentially.
At the age of 36, you have achieved some success in formation techniques and are already able to refine first-tier top-grade formations.
At the same time, you have entered the tenth level of Qi Refining.
Your great-grandfather, Li Zhangli, found two foundation-building auxiliary medicinal herbs for you: "Wind Breath Fruit" and "Soul-Evolving Water".
At the age of 37, you successfully established your foundation by using two foundation-building spiritual objects, becoming the second foundation-building cultivator in the Li family.
The Li family's strength has increased significantly.
At the age of 38, you successfully crafted the second-tier "Wind Rift Formation".
At the age of 41, you travel to the Million Mountains again in search of an opportunity, where you happen to meet Mu Tianhao, a prodigy from the Mu clan of the Azure Flame Immortal Sect.
Mu Tianhao was surrounded and seriously injured by a group of second-tier demonic lizards. You used the spell "Wind Slash" to defeat two second-tier demonic lizards and save Mu Tianhao's life. Mu Tianhao took the opportunity to use "Swiftness Talisman" to escape. You immediately used "Wind Blade Technique" to intercept the demonic lizards.
Furthermore, the "Wind-Splitting Sky Array Flag" trapped five second-tier demon lizards.
When the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Azure Flame Immortal Sect arrived, they successfully killed the second-tier demon lizard.
To express his gratitude for saving your life, Mu Tianhao will give you all five Tier 2 demon lizards as spoils of war.
As a result, you made a fortune and accumulated the first pot of gold to expand your family business.
Mu Tianhao is a man of great generosity and loyalty, and he has become sworn brothers with you.
After that, you often invited each other to go on adventures together. As you got to know each other better, you appreciated each other more and more.
Mu Tianhao is a descendant of the Mu clan of the Qingyan Immortal Sect. Mu Qingyu, the clan's Core Formation Ancestor, was one of the founding ancestors of the Qingyan Immortal Sect.
After that, the Mu family always had a Core Formation Ancestor in charge, jointly managing the Azure Flame Immortal Sect with the Yun family.
Since the passing of a Core Formation ancestor of the Mu clan sixty years ago, no one in the Mu clan has reached the Core Formation stage, and the clan's power has gradually fallen into other hands.
Within the Azure Flame Immortal Sect, the Murong family began to emerge, and a Void Core cultivator appeared.
Mu Tianhao aspired from a young age to restore the glory of the Mu family.
Li Fengyue also wanted to strengthen the Li family.
Finally, with Mu Tianhao's assistance, Li Fengyue successfully occupied Yunmeng Lake and established a vast empire.
The two support each other.
Li Fengyue secretly collected Core Formation spiritual items for Mu Tianhao, thus avoiding the suppression from the Qingyan Immortal Sect.
This enabled Mu Tianhao to successfully form his core, and the Mu family regained its glory, becoming the leader of the Qingyan Immortal Sect.
……
At the age of 222, you passed away due to the exhaustion of your lifespan.
After Li Fengyue passed away, Yang Jiuli's consciousness withdrew from him.
More than two hundred years have passed, but in the long river of time at the Three Lives Stone, it is only a fleeting moment.
But Yang Jiuli truly felt the same way, as if more than two hundred years had passed.
Unbeknownst to him, he had gained a sense of vicissitude, making him look like an old monster who had lived for thousands of years.
In his previous life, he experienced the lives of countless cultivators through the "Past Life Talisman".
Among them were many exceptionally talented individuals, such as Li Fengyue.
But every path has an end. Even if one is famous in life, one cannot escape the five signs of decay and death.
The more experiences Yang Jiuli had, the more he longed for immortality.
He did not care about many struggles, power, or wealth.
That's why he progressed step by step in this life, staying in the Li family for more than ten years for a stable cultivation environment.
"Li Fengyue was indeed a remarkable person... It's a pity that he failed to achieve the Core Formation stage throughout his life!" Yang Jiuli sighed.
Mu Tianhao secretly helped the Li family seize Yunmeng Lake.
To repay Mu Tianhao, Li Fengyue gathered the strength of his entire clan and traveled far and wide to find a spiritual object for Mu Tianhao to help him achieve the Core Formation stage.
This matter haunted him for the rest of his life, and because he was limited to a second-tier spiritual vein, he was ultimately unable to achieve the Great Dao of Core Formation.
However, it is extremely rare for Li Fengyue to have been able to transform the Li clan from an ordinary Foundation Establishment clan into a powerful family.
