Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1372 - 596: Celestial Demon Xiluo (2)

"Not to mention us, even fellow cultivator Yuan Tianlong, who studied arrays for six million years, took a full year and three months to comprehend one transformation of the Divine Dragon’s Ten Thousand Changes Grand Array in the palace! Most others spent seven to eight years before barely mastering all the profound mysteries of one transformation. As for skillfully recording their mastered transformations, it took several more years!"

The three from the Li Family changed their expressions on hearing this. Ever since they heard about the task of recording array patterns, along with the chance to obtain a spot to explore the Little World, their hearts burned with eagerness, wishing they could master one transformation of the array pattern this morning, skillfully record it by the afternoon, and participate in the competition by tomorrow. However...

After Xiluo finished speaking, a stout disciple behind him shook his head and said, "Master is right. Apart from fellow cultivator Yuan Tianlong, Master was the fastest in mastering one transformation of the array pattern among us dozens, taking a bit over six years. Most of us needed eleven to twelve years to skillfully record it!"

The Divine Mountain Warriors behind them also shook their heads slightly.

One of them spoke up, "Although there’s more than a year until the selection of spots, judging by the looks of the four fellow cultivators, none have previously studied arrays as Array Masters, so it’s unlikely they’ll compete in the task before the selection. It’s even more impossible for them to secure a spot to explore the Little World!"

The three from the Li Family felt somewhat disheartened upon hearing this.

Li Changming, with his round face and small eyes, rolled his eyes a few times and suddenly pulled out the top-grade Profound Truth Jade he planned to give to Grand Celestial Official Wu of the Construction Hall. He handed it over to the Minor Success Green Python Celestial Demon named Xiluo with a respectful expression, saying:

"Senior Xiluo, the four of us hail from the Red Water Li Family, and due to some issues, violated the laws of the Candle Dragon Race, resulting in our punishment to serve as Divine Mountain Warriors at the second location! We’re newcomers, so we hope for care from Senior Xiluo and fellow cultivators. This top-grade Profound Truth Jade is a resource we spent tens of thousands of years collecting and exchanging. We offer it to Senior Xiluo as a meeting gift, hoping you’ll accept it for our peace of mind!"

Li Changming, known for his round face and small eyes, was not stingy and understood the principle of ’spending money to avoid trouble.’ Even though he’s got some connections with Grand Celestial Official Wu, he never acted arrogantly because of them!

Lin Xuankong watched from the side, nodding silently in agreement.

He thought to himself: Li Changming, with his round face and small eyes, is quite meticulous, outgoing, and sociable. When he offered the top-grade Profound Truth Jade to Xiluo, he included himself without saying he wasn’t part of the Red Water Li Family!

Speaking of which, I’m newly acquainted with the three from the Li Family. Li Changming not only handles things well but also went out of his way to explain many things about the Supreme Origin Realm, giving me insight into many previously unknown facts. This guy indeed seems like a friend at first meeting!

If Li Changming continues to treat me kindly, I might as well help him if I have the chance!

At this moment,

The dozens of Divine Mountain Warriors behind Xiluo saw Li Changming being so tactful and generous, and showing such respect to Xiluo. Their initial sense of distance when looking at the three from the Li Family and Lin Xuankong visibly diminished.

The Minor Success Green Python Celestial Demon Xiluo’s eyes subtly changed after hearing Li Changming’s words. Then his expression turned solemn, and he spoke:

"The four of you are descendants of the Red Water Li Family, whose clan’s strong members were nearly wiped out, fighting against the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race in the battle of Red Water? Tsk tsk, back then, several human Celestial Immortal clans like the Li Family, Huang Family, Ma Family, Zhao Family, Zhu Family, and Ying Family fiercely resisted and delivered a massive blow to the core forces of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race. They laid a superb foundation for the eventual rise of the Candle Dragon Race in East Ming Divine Continent! It’s said that the peace we’ve experienced in East Ming Divine Continent recently owes not only to the strength of the Candle Dragon Race but also significantly to the contributions of those human Celestial Immortal clans from Red Water back then!

Since you’re descendants of the Red Water Li Family, arriving at the third group of the second location as friends, let’s face future challenges together and support each other!

As for this top-grade Profound Truth Jade, I absolutely cannot accept it; I must not. The Red Water Li Family’s elites perished back then, and I imagine your Li Family descendants have endured hardship over the years! Keep this top-grade Profound Truth Jade for emergencies!"

Li Changming, with his round face and small eyes, was touched by Xiluo’s words, and Li Changsheng and Li Changshou standing beside him also showed signs of excitement.

The prosperity of the Red Water Li Family from back then is millions of years past, and if people still remember, their descendants naturally feel immensely proud and excited.

The dozens of Divine Mountain Warriors behind the Minor Success Celestial Demon Xiluo expressed their admiration.

"Of course, the Red Water Li Family was commendable and exemplary for our Human Race. Senior Xiluo is admirable for his righteousness shown towards the descendants of the Red Water Li Family!"

"If everyone were like Senior Xiluo, showing such courtesy and regard for human descendants who resisted the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon and the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Demon, why would our Human Race and Demon Race worry about rising?"

"Indeed, it’s regretful that some Demon Race and Human Race members, seeing the decline of forces that fought against the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Demon and the Thousand Illusions Celestial Demon, instead pushed them while they’re down, making things difficult for heirs and disciples of those Immortal Sects and clans! Had it not been for their actions disrupting the mindset of predecessors and cultivators, we might not have repeatedly faced frequent losses against the Human and Demon Races in later battles, leading to the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race and Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Demon Race occupying nearly half of East Ming Divine Continent!"

"That’s for sure; if everyone carried righteousness and command respect like Senior Xiluo, and all Human Race and Demon Race united, not to mention the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race and Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Demon Race, even the Eight Celestial Demon Races ruling Supreme Origin Realm would find no place to stand, and the Supreme Origin Realm would’ve been a peaceful Bliss Land ages ago!"

Among the many Divine Mountain Warriors exchanging words were notes of reflection.

When Lin Xuankong heard the Human Race and Demon Race Divine Mountain Warriors talk like this, he quietly mused: Based on what they say, it seems the various Human and Demon Race clans and sects in the Supreme Origin Realm are disorganized, similar to the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm from back then. Yet this is unavoidable; human nature and demon nature are such, facing the fierce Celestial Demon Race. How many Human Race Immortal Sects or Demon Race clans would willingly risk their sects and clans’ ruin and charge with all they’re worth? Which Immortal Sect or Demon Race clan wouldn’t hope other sects or clans bear the brunt against the Eight Celestial Demon Races!

The Minor Success Celestial Demon Xiluo looked at the moved Li Family members and the impassioned Divine Mountain Warriors. Inside, he sneered somewhat. If he hadn’t known beforehand about the relationship between Grand Celestial Official Wu from Seven Cities Construction Hall and the Red Water Li Family during the battle of Red Water, how could he, a Mighty Success cultivator for over ten thousand years, show such courtesy to the decaying Red Water Li Family’s Initial Tier Celestial Immortal descendants, especially since they’re new Divine Mountain Warriors with insufficient power, unsure of how long it would take them to gain access to the origin of a Little World to ascend to the Early Stage of Minor Success realm...

Yet, he did want to make acquaintances with these new Li Family members, so he naturally needed to find a dignified reason.

Seeing everyone’s reactions naturally satisfied him greatly!

After a bout of inner mockery, the Celestial Demon Xiluo addressed Li Changming with his round face and small eyes: "Seeing as you all are here, no need to worry, consider it home. Especially, should you have any doubts about contemplating the Divine Dragon’s Ten Thousand Transformations Grand Array Pattern, feel free to ask either me or fellow cultivator Yuan Tianlong. Despite missing the chance for the task recording array patterns this time and not obtaining spots to explore the Little World, you should not underestimate yourselves. You must strive to comprehend, as the Candle Dragon Race excels in probing Little Worlds, and there’s always potential for new opportunities to arise!"
