[Skynet members Dongfang Xuan, Gu Yinming, the God of War, the Old Man, Han Yun, and others had a very pleasant discussion with your family and have reached a deal.]
[They are willing to help the Li family eradicate the turmoil in Eternal Sun Prefecture and resolve the rebellion in Duravia Trade Prefecture.]
In the Ancestor Space, Li Wei sat cross-legged. Now that Baimei had been dealt with and this great enemy was gone, his clansmen could handle the remaining matters themselves.
He only needed to protect his descendants' safety from within the Ancestor Space.
"Old Ancestor."
His descendants would return to the Ancestor Space from time to time to make their reports. At this moment, Li Yaowen had returned and reported, "Dongfang Xuan left a painting on Skynet's boss. She can find his location."
"Right now, that man has already left Eternal Sun Prefecture."
Upon hearing this, Li Wei nodded slightly and asked, "Can these people from Skynet be trusted?"
Li Yaowen shook her head. "Old Ancestor, your capture of Baimei is what holds them in check. With Prince Qian on the losing side, these Skynet members betrayed him without a second thought to save their own lives. They would do the same to us. Besides, every last one of them is guilty of monstrous crimes. They can only be used as tools."
And it was true. When those characters were surrounded, each one had proven to be craftier than a monkey. Compared to the Nangong family, they were even more cunning.
But right now, the Li family was indeed in need of manpower.
The number of Divinity Transformation cultivators the Li family could deploy was simply too few, and the rebellious powers in Eternal Sun Prefecture were spread out in every direction.
Although powers like the Nangong family and the Great Ming King Temple were now working for them, they were a far cry from the loyal people of Azure Cloud; they were fighting for the Li family purely for the sake of immense benefits.
Therefore, in this rebellion-quelling campaign, the Li family needed the help of the members of Skynet.
At the very least, the members of Skynet would give the great powers of the Eternal Sun Prefecture the false impression that the Li family's foundation was far deeper than it appeared.
As for Li Wei…
He let out a long breath. He was the family's final trump card, the one who possessed the ability to kill a Void Refining cultivator. Every point of 'Family Will' had to be used on the knife's edge to deal with the dangers yet to come.
He had even returned to the real world to temporarily synchronize the time between the game world and his own, just to wait for Boss Qi to procure another hundred bombs for him.
Seeing that Li Yaowen had also returned home, Li Wei felt a sense of reassurance.
But looking at her spirit soul form, he was reminded that even though Tian Xing had been captured, there were still lingering problems.
This was true for Yaoqing, Tianming, and Kuangren, and it was true for the Yaowen before him now.
He couldn't help but ask, "Yaowen, your physical body…"
Without a physical body, even a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation realm is still extremely vulnerable.
"Please rest assured, Old Ancestor." Li Yaowen smiled. "This child's soul is one with heaven and earth. Though a soul cultivator may be vulnerable, no one can find my true location. Besides… even if someone truly managed to kill me, so what?!!"
Li Wei couldn't help but smile as well. He could see the absolute confidence in Yaowen's words, and she had every right to feel that way!
When they devoured Tian Xing all those years ago, the one who benefited the most was undoubtedly Yaowen!
[Your descendant, Li Yaowen, by connecting with Tian Xing's line of fate, has obtained his secret technique: Ten Thousand Avatars Divine Soul-Splitting Technique!]
[Conditions for cultivation: One must be proficient in the Arts of Fate, die, and become a spirit soul. The spirit soul then enters a slumber, drifting between heaven and earth to seek out a soon-to-be-born child to reincarnate into, thereby refining a Divine Soul Avatar. The reincarnated body serves as the primary life-core. As long as a Divine Soul Avatar survives, the true self cannot be extinguished. The reincarnated body possesses its own individual will and cultivates independently. If a Divine Soul Avatar is killed, its power is distributed among the other bodies.]
The other members of the family had obtained the cultivation power of Tian Xing's thousands of avatars, but Li Yaowen had obtained the very foundation of his practice!
The only drawback was that her true self could not cultivate independently; she needed more time to reincarnate.
"In the past forty-odd years, this child has already reincarnated into eighteen avatars."
Li Yaowen held nothing back, a rare hint of pride in her voice. "One of them, I remained in for eighteen years. Her innate aptitude was excellent; she was born at the peak of the Qi Refining stage. In just eighteen short years, I helped her cultivate all the way to the Golden Core realm. Her clansmen were all powerful experts, but luckily, I was never exposed!"
The corners of Li Wei's mouth turned up in a slight smile.
Tian Xing? He had been a monstrous existence, but it was a pity he was controlled by a great power of the Imperial Dynasty, confined to a tiny space.
But Li Yaowen had no such shackles!
She was even better at hiding than Tian Xing had been, and the Li family had learned from every single mistake he had made on his path!
"Yaowen, after you return this time, you should no longer wander about. Sleep in the family's Ancestral Hall, stay by my side, and focus on reincarnating in peace," Li Wei instructed.
"Yes, Old Ancestor!"
Li Yaowen nodded slightly. "This child was thinking the same thing."
