Three days passed in a flash.
After the three Wu Clan Elders attacked the Azure Cloud region, and following the world-destroying scene that appeared at the location of the Divine Bird Totem in the Endless Forest, the Wu Clan experts seemed to vanish without a trace. Even though the Moon God had died, the Wu Clan did not, as imagined, go crazy looking for trouble with the Azure Cloud region.
However, Wu Clan members still gathered at the edge of the Endless Forest; the six Wu Clan divisions led by Lei Dong did not leave. The cultivators of the Azure Cloud region also did not slack off, constantly constructing formations and traps along the border.
After Fang Linglong fell unconscious, she briefly woke up once during this period. After telling Li Yaoqing, 'The Li family no longer needs to worry about experts above the Divinity Transformation stage,' she fell unconscious again and was taken back to Merit City by Li Yaoqing.
However, the Li family members could all guess that Fang Linglong had helped the Li family greatly this time. But Li Yaoqing said that to help the Demon Lord recover, besides her Heaven's Wrath Wood and Plant Divine Art and those heaven-defying natural treasures, ordinary methods had little effect. This left the Li family members unsure how to repay Fang Linglong's kindness.
At this time.
The members of the Li family gathered together, kneeling and bowing towards the Ancestral Spirit Tablet, grateful that their ancestor, Li Wei, had taken action this time to kill the Moon God, saving the family once again.
Right now, Li Wei was sitting on the altar, proudly holding his head high, and casually waving his hand. "A trivial matter, hehe, just a trivial matter."
It was as if he wasn't the one who, after using 'Fight On, Dear Ancestor!' beneath the blood night three days ago, had been stupefied for a whole day by the severe painful aftereffects.
"Ancestor, this child acted recklessly this time, causing our family to fall into war with the Wu Clan again. Please punish me, Ancestor!"
Li Dalong kowtowed guiltily.
Seeing this, Li Wei did not get angry. In truth, the entire Li family knew that Li Dalong had come to the border city this time prepared to die, planning for the family's future. But whether it was Li Wei, the ancestor, or the children of the Li family, none would abandon any member of the family; everyone would face all matters together.
Immediately, Li Wei used the skill 'Ancestor's Caress'. Raging Sky Flood Dragon, transformed into its Mist Flood Dragon state, also appeared before the spirit tablet, repeating the words Li Wei had handwritten on the semi-transparent panel before his eyes.
"Master says, what's happened has happened. Bravely facing it is the right path."
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Ancestor!"
Li Dalong repeatedly kowtowed in thanks, thinking to himself that the Ancestor indeed doted on him the most.
Immediately after, the members of the Li family discussed the future grand plan for the Azure Cloud region in the ancestral hall. Just as Li Wei had said, since they had all returned, then neither the Azure Dynasty nor the Wu Clan could seize the Li family's land. They would use every method possible to let everyone know that the Azure Cloud region belonged to the Li family!
"Ancestor, Kuangren, following this child's instructions, obtained the position of Region Prince from the Emperor, as well as the Emperor's promise. This status allows us to control many experts and forces. This child thinks that the position of Region Prince should be taken by Kuangren."
As Li Dalong's words fell.
Li Kuangren, who had been quietly listening to the elders' instructions, was stunned. "Great-Grandfather, this child is to become the Region Prince?"
With so many elders present, it shouldn't be his turn.
"Mm."
Li Dalong smiled and said, "The Feng family already holds the position of Region Prince. Even if our two families have the best relationship, having two Regional Prince in one Region would inevitably lead to conflict. But you are different. Feng Chunlin is your elder brother-in-law; you have a layer of Feng family identity, so he'll be overjoyed. Besides, the Old Tree is never wrong. He said you would sit on the throne, so you should sit boldly."
"This child understands."
Li Kuangren nodded solemnly. Nearby, the Old Tree, which had already revealed its human form and was resting with closed eyes, proudly raised its head.
Afterward, Li Kuangren took out numerous items from his storage ring: the jade seal belonging to the Region Prince, and a python robe. He slowly walked out the door. Under the nodding approval of the Li family members, he took a deep breath and carved his own name onto the jade slip given by the Emperor.
Immediately, a formation diagram descended from the sky above all of the Azure Cloud region. Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi formed a pillar of light enveloping Li Kuangren's body, and a throne appeared in the sky.
Everyone in Azure Cloud region's border city gazed in astonishment towards the location of the pillar of light.
They saw Li Kuangren float upwards along with the pillar of light and land upon the throne!
His voice echoed in the sky.
"Today, Li Kuangren of the Azure Cloud region Li family, having received the Emperor's decree, accepts the position of Azure Cloud Region Prince!"
Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi converged from the diagram array, gathering upon Li Kuangren's body.
His aura continuously climbed!
