Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 794: The Blue Phoenix Bloodline
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
"Has Changyao reached such a formidable level already?"
Li Wei’s spectral form drifted through the void above the Ding family estate, standing watch over Li Changyao after spending many days scouring the Star Domain for the "Power of Rules."
A look of deep satisfaction crossed Li Wei’s face as he observed Li Changyao. Despite her weakened state, she remained hidden high within the clouds, relentlessly striking the enemy formation.
While his search for the Power of Rules in the Star Domain had lasted only a week, over a century had passed for his kin back home.
One hundred years provided ample time for his descendants to achieve a massive surge in strength and fully integrate the treasures and knowledge seized from Tian Xing.
Li Changyao signaled toward a practitioner from the Hall of Heavenly Principle.
"Go and request Senior Shanchen to take my place. Ensure the Ding family’s formation does not reactivate, and make certain not a single soul from the Ding family escapes."
Li Wei’s eyebrow twitched upward, noting that Li Changyao had truly stepped into the role of a commander.
This young woman, who had once competed against fellow geniuses and now challenged the old guard, was clearly the most cherished of the older generation's children.
When the Old Tree bore the Primal Origin Blood Fruit, the Elders had refused to consume it themselves, offering the prize to her first.
Had Li Changyao not insisted on giving it to Xinnian, the latter likely still wouldn't possess the "Saint Spirit Bloodline."
[Your descendant, Li Changyao, has consumed the 'Primal Origin Blood Fruit' and attained the bloodline: "Divine Bird Blue Phoenix."]
[The Blue Phoenix Flame is chillingly cold. By consuming exotic fires, she can bolster her cultivation and spiritual power. Upon reaching full maturity, she will undergo a transformation into a Blue-Feathered Phoenix.]
[Through long years of refining Tian Xing’s spiritual power and secret techniques, combined with the "Divine Bird Blue Phoenix" bloodline, your descendant Li Changyao has ascended to the Divinity Transformation realm.
Acquired Domain: Extreme Flame Domain. Within this domain, enemies are incinerated by flames.]
[Acquired Heaven-bestowed Primordial Spirit Technique: Cold Flame.
While standard flames burn the flesh, the Blue Phoenix Cold Flame devours the human soul.]
Relying solely on this Cold Flame, even without activating her Domain, Li Changyao’s prowess was already elite among those in the Divinity Transformation realm.
Immortal Master Qi Yue himself had been forced into a pathetic retreat when facing her that day.
The only drawback was her lack of stamina.
Li Wei vaguely recalled how Li Changyao had drained nearly all her spiritual power just to fire a single arrow. Today, after dismantling the Ding family’s defenses, she was once again pushed to her limits.
"Divine Bird Blue Phoenix... a bloodline with terrifying offensive potential, yet the spiritual power consumption is simply too high."
Muttering to himself and concluding that the Ding family was no longer a threat, Li Wei faded away into the air.
"Yunlin still has that Nine-Spirit Exotic Fire within the Skyveil Hall. I shall retrieve it from him and give it to our family's Princess Yaoyao to boost her cultivation."
...
At that same moment.
The chaos was not confined to the Ding family; sixty percent of the organizations within the Duravia Trade Prefecture were currently facing a bloody reckoning.
Perennis Immortal City, however, remained as vibrant as ever.
A middle-aged man wearing simple cloth robes appeared amidst the crowded, prosperous streets.
Shielded by the sea of flowers from the Perennis Immortal Palace, the city was protected from the biting wind and snow.
The man ignored the surrounding noise.
As he walked past the Perennis Immortal Palace, he noticed that the Red Spider Lily Sea, which once resembled a vast ocean of blood, had been reduced to mere remnants.
What a magnificent Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land it had been.
Daoist Mingtai, the Sect Master who had fled the Aeternus Sect, had brought three immortal mountains here to rebuild his sect within Perennis Immortal City.
But today, those three peaks that had always floated above the Immortal Palace had vanished entirely.
Even the Prince Jiang Mansion, belonging to the Prefecture Lord, was now occupied only by low-level servants and page boys.
Still, many cultivators lingered in the city, seemingly hesitant to depart.
"Reporting to the Clan Elder: The location of the residents of Perennis Immortal City is unknown.
Just like the Li family cultivators striking at our Zhao Clan’s vassals, they are using some unknown method to mask their presence. Even I could not sense their auras!"
Zhao Qingxia spoke with venomous frustration.
Following the death of their Clan Elder in the Imperial Capital, the Li clan had moved with startling speed.
Another Clan Elder had sent a final warning: the Li family was descending upon the Duravia Trade Prefecture instantly.
The Zhao Clan had no intention of staying passive, yet they had found nothing but empty air.
He gripped a mirror. It was only after he slotted a mid-grade Spirit Stone into the device that the icy voice of Clan Elder Fairy Bai echoed from its surface.
"They were prepared long ago; as soon as the Imperial Capital struck, the Li clan launched their counter-move.
Qingxia, return and report. If the lives of our subordinates are lost, then so be it. Let them serve as a test for the enemy's strength and act as meat shields for our Zhao Clan."
"Understood, Clan Elder. I am returning now."
The mirror’s light dimmed, leaving Zhao Qingxia with an expression as dark as a stagnant pool.
"Devious brats! They control an entire prefecture yet hide and scurry like rats. This Grand Elder Yunlin of the Li clan’s Skyveil Sect is nothing but a coward!"
He scanned the busy markets of Perennis Immortal City, his eyes flashing with a murderous light.
"Very well. The cultivators might have fled, but how can you possibly save the mortals? Hahahaha!"
...
At the border separating the Duravia Trade Prefecture and Azure Cloud.
A bizarre sight appeared—or rather, two figures.
A bald old man walked with a chair-like basket strapped to his back.
The handles of the basket had been converted into straps, firmly securing a handsome young man who was sound asleep within.
Even in his slumber, the youth possessed a quiet, striking beauty.
The old man carrying him was eccentric, adorned in a vibrant red robe.
His head was completely bald, yet thick red eyebrows hung down to his cheeks, and his mustache and goatee were long enough to reach his waist.
Despite his lack of hair, he looked more like a disgraced monk than a commoner.
Whether it was the weight of the youth or pure irritation, the old man slammed his cane into the earth with every step, snarling through his teeth, "Shameless! Absolutely shameless! My gorgeous hair... my Old Tree’s beautiful hair!"
