Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 838 - 833: Truth Of The Great Dao

Li Zhiheng resembled a Daoist priest in his looks, and his oldest son, Li Yuanwu, appeared as a brave and sturdy warrior with a remarkably coarse voice.

"Father, our branch fell short in this fight somehow.

If the Old Ancestor hadn't shielded us, your boy could have gotten pummeled to death.

I've made up my mind: after we get back, I'll head straight to that mountain summit.

I won't emerge from closed-door training until I master 'One Force to Shatter All Arts'."

The father of Li Qiukong, Li Jianshu, gave a solemn nod.

"I've already soaked in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Spring and gained a Single Lightning Spirit Root.

Once we return, I'll ask the clan's Senior Wine Maniac to dispatch me to the Thunder Fire Devil Cave for training under the sky's thunderbolts."

"I'll retreat into seclusion under the Ancient Tree."

"I'll visit the Crab Clan and request Senior Qing Yuan to guide my cultivation at the ocean depths."

"I plan to venture into the Northern Region's Five Elements Forbidden Zone. I hope Cousin Aunt will take me with her on her way back there."

"...."

Li Zhijing observed the Immortal Martial lineage folks debating their cultivation paths one by one.

Her lips quirked as she pulled at her cousin's robe.

"Cousin... don't you all have any real duties to handle?"

"Hm?"

One pair after another of wide, innocent eyes gazed at her.

Li Zhijing recoiled a bit. "Like battling beasts? Gambling on stones? Do you lot visit brothels?"

"..."

Li Zhiheng paused briefly.

"Cousin, you absolutely mustn't mention such matters around my father. He despises those who live wildly.

Back in the day, I just went to meet my wife once, and Father thought I was too indulgent; he wouldn't meet me for three whole years.

That's when I realized: we're meant to live by the rules, and pursuing cultivation is the sole vital pursuit."

"Father's mindset definitely holds wisdom.

Cousin, why not stay here rather than heading back to the Northern Region?

You could train alongside us and refine your ways..."

"Cousin?"

Li Zhiheng gazed at Li Zhijing as she dashed off far away.

He gestured with his hand and called out, "I haven't finished sharing the Truth of the Great Dao with you!"

Yet she had already disappeared completely, fleeing quicker than she had during the combat.

Li Yuanwu knitted his eyebrows.

"Father, quit attempting to convince her. We can't envy Cousin Aunt's branch.

Like Grandpa Xinghuo, they're demon-slaying legends.

They possess innate strong talents, and the Grand Preceptor has granted them immense resources.

Our household lacks wealth, and our talents are terribly low; we must close the gap through nonstop cultivation."

"Mm, my boy makes sense. Dedicating ourselves to cultivation is the True Way."

...

"So frightening! That was utterly terrifying!"

Li Zhijing bolted the entire distance.

She only relaxed with a deep breath once the Immortal Martial lineage members were out of view.

"I nearly got dragged off by Cousin for cultivation."

Earlier, her cousin's face had mirrored the stern look her grandfather wore when tossing her into the training room.

But after catching her breath, envy flooded Li Zhijing's features.

"Truly worthy of the Immortal Martial branch.

They're already so prosperous, but they train with such fervor.

Even my grand-nephew boasts a Single Spirit Root; his potential is remarkably high.

When I return, I'll intensify my own cultivation.

I should also send a message to Uncle Xinjue, urging him to push harder, or we'll truly disappoint Grandpa."

"It turns out the Immortal Martial branch strives so fiercely because Eldest Uncle Xinnian oversees them.

But isn't this overly strict? The famed Grandpa Xingchen must be quite the stern figure too, no?"

At that moment.

In some distant sea area, Li Xingchen—backing his wife while soaring on a flying sword, gripping reins to steer a massive sea turtle over the swells—suddenly let out a sneeze.

He grumbled softly, then yelled back to the joyful Fan Feixuan clinging behind him:

"Xuanxuan! Today we'll trail this sea turtle—hehehe—and locate the North Sea Leviathan's den. I'll whip up a grand meal for you!"

"Mhm." Fan Feixuan bobbed her head eagerly.

Since Li Xinnian had matured, the pair had passed a century like a fleeting moment, their bond as strong as ever. Now and then, family crossed their minds.

"Husband, it's been ages since we saw Xinnian and the grandkids. The clan just faced a war."

Li Xingchen dismissed it with a wave.

"It's too remote; we couldn't return swiftly regardless.

Plus, the Old Ancestor mentioned we wouldn't contribute much to this conflict.

Hehe, I sense the North Sea Dragon Palace from this treasure map lies nearby.

That's the true grand prize!

My childhood aspiration is at last within reach."

"Moreover, you and I are the renowned 'Divine Turtle Hero Couple.' Let's keep the fact of our many kids and grandkids from other fellow Daoists."

"Why hide it from fellow Daoists?" Fan Feixuan widened her bright eyes.

"If folks learned our children and those grandkids never ventured beyond Azure Cloud Prefecture, never explored the world, and only know endless cultivation... wouldn't that embarrass us?"

"You're right about that."

...

"Ah-choo!"

Xinnian guided his wife Nangong Qingya, Su Chen, and numerous followers into the Zhao Clan's Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, where he abruptly sneezed.

Nangong Qingya scrunched her nose. "Xinnian, you've been sneezing a lot. Something must be causing it."

At her words, Li Xinnian flicked his hand.

"The Zhao Clan is no more. Word of a Hidden World power falling to my Azure Cloud Prefecture will soon echo across the lands.

My Azure Cloud Prefecture can no longer be eyed by outsiders."

"The clan grows mighty, so naturally, envious foes keep us in their sights.

I figure the sneezes are just from that—mere specks of breeze and grit."

"Mn." Su Chen inclined his head faintly.

Each homecoming made Brother Xinnian seem even more composed.

He felt deeply pleased.

"No surprise the family chose you as Family Head. You stay humble and steady; it's excellent."
