Chapter 181: Li Yunlin Breakthrough To The Golden Core
Chapter 181: Li Yunlin Breakthrough To The Golden Core
"Beasts! Beasts!!!"
Qiuye, fleeing with Xiao Huang, growled. The Drunken Madman letting him go hadn't been an act of mercy. Instead, it was giving the Li family a chance to torture and kill him!
Perhaps he shouldn't have run. The Drunken Madman would have given him a quick and clean death.
But...
"I don't want to die!"
Another blade shadow came from behind him. He didn't even want to look to see who was attacking him. The Drunken Madman was right; people like him wouldn't go mad. He was a coward, and he would seize any chance to survive!
It was Xu Cuihua.
She activated her fox form and slashed down with her blade, using all her strength. This strike was infused with all her empathy as an elder. She could feel that perhaps when Old Pig died, he must have worried about whether his children would be heartbroken.
Li Yaozu and Li Yaoqing's attacks followed in succession. Their blades carried the fury of the family guardians, angered by these two villains who had shattered the peaceful days of the Li family and forced them into their current scattered state!
Li Yaowen, despite her aged appearance, maintained an air of grace in her movements. A single word shattered Qiuye's protective shield.
She seemed to be sneering.
She mocked the reckless actions of the coward and the madwoman ahead, mocked their regret and despair after their delusional attempt to overthrow the Li family and kill its members!
"Hahaha!"
Li Yaotie, now a puppet, had Bai Rourou standing on his shoulder, her eyes bloodshot, veins bulging all over her body. Li Yaotie roared with laughter, "Why are you running? Face us, you bastards!"
He threw out a massive punch, striking Qiuye and Xiao Huang on their backs, destroying their spirit shuttle and leaving them with no means of escape. Punch after punch landed, and the two continued to use their spiritual power to resist as Qiuye carried Xiao Huang and fled!
But they no longer had enough spiritual power left. Bai Rourou, in a frenzy, slashed at them with the long saber left behind by the Pig Demon King.
She was actually hacking at their backs, leaving them a mangled mess of flesh and blood.
Then, Bai Rourou, seeing their bodies covered in wounds, seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed onto Li Yaotie's shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.
These were the cathartic sobs of a child who had finally avenged her parents.
Immediately after, the Seven Sons and their children leaped forward, pursuing their enemies with a frenzied intensity.
Seven years.
Seven years of anger and hatred, seven years of dangers faced while wandering, seven years of growth, all released at this moment.
They had truly gone mad.
These children, who had grown up on the Pig Demon King's back, arrived carrying their past resentment. No one knew what emotions they were harboring at this moment. They only knew that when Old Pig returned that day, his body was battered and broken, and all of this should be repaid in full.
No, it should be repaid a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
They would no longer fall and get hurt on anyone's back. They no longer needed to be carried by anyone. They no longer needed elders to teach them life lessons bit by bit, nor did they need to cry when they were alone.
Because...
there was once a pig in the Silver Iron Forest who accompanied them through their childhood.
And now they had grown up, experiencing hardships throughout Azure Cloud region, facing their enemies with the memories they shared with Old Pig, avenging him!
In an instant, the sky was filled with the earth-shattering battle cries of the children who had grown up on Old Pig's back. Just as they had learned from the information they got from the pictures in the intelligence reports, they were slowly and methodically torturing and killing these two once-arrogant Golden Core cultivators!
The many elders of the Li family, snapping out of their reverie, stood upon the Heaven-Piercing Coffin and watched the children's frenzied slaughter.
At this moment, in Li Wei's room, the natural treasures and pills were all gone. He calmly watched the children carrying out their bloody revenge on the screen.
As the scene progressed rapidly, he seemed to see a cloud in the game transform into the shape of Old Pig, seemingly pleased by the children's growth. It was as if Old Pig was saying that all his sacrifices had been worth it, that he had a group of children who were fiercer and more devoted than any spirit beast.
...
Within the Skyveil Sect.
Inside the Skybreak Hall, Li Yunlin, who had been cultivating under Daoist Jiuyou, felt his spiritual power surge.
Daoist Jiuyou, who had been helping Li Yunlin achieve a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, wiped the cold sweat from his brow. He looked up and saw that Li Yunlin was truly extraordinary!
The Skybreak Hall, which was originally like a fantastical river of stars, now seemed to have nine suns rising within it.
It was Li Yunlin's Nine Spirit Mystic Fire!
Nine fire lotuses gradually grew larger, blooming brilliantly. Li Yunlin, sitting in the center, resembled the God of Fire incarnate. Flames erupted from his body, soaring towards the heavens within the Skybreak Hall, forming a blazing pillar of fire!
The scorching aura was so intense that if an ordinary Golden Core cultivator were present, they would undoubtedly need to use their spiritual power for defense in an instant.
Waves of heat, carrying flames, surged outwards in all directions within the Skybreak Hall.
"Hahaha! At sixty-nine years old, you've reached the early stage of Golden Core and formed a Heavenly Core! Within your core, you've forged the secret techniques of our Skyveil Sect: the Skyveil Grand Mystery Art, the Phantom Shadow Steps, and the Thunder Summoning Heaven and Earth Formula – three Profound-grade techniques! My two hundred years of cultivation, spent over these past twenty-eight years to help you reach this point, haven't been in vain!"
Elder Jiuyou was extremely excited as he looked at the Golden Core cultivator Li Yunlin.
In the Azure Cloud region, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of fifty was considered a mark of genius. But Li Yunlin? He had broken through to Foundation Establishment before he was even thirty. If that were all, it would be impressive enough.
He possessed a wondrous treasure, the Nine Spirit Mystic Fire. Even Golden Core cultivators coveted this item. If nurtured properly, it could even reach the Sixth-Grade level.
Furthermore, Li Yunlin possessed an exceptionally resilient mind and had experienced things that ordinary people could not even compare to.
And now it seemed Li Yunlin had indeed lived up to Daoist Jiuyou's expectations. At sixty-nine years old, a Golden Core cultivator possessing the Nine Spirit Mystic Fire, Li Yunlin, would undoubtedly be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before the end of his lifespan. This also meant that for the next two thousand years, the Skyveil Sect would be safe and sound!
Daoist Jiuyou had even decided that when his own lifespan neared its end, he would pass on all his knowledge and skills to Li Yunlin.
Li Yunlin might even break through to the next stage! He would lead the Skyveil Sect to new heights!
"Phew."
Seeing Li Yunlin still consolidating his cultivation, with a slightly pained expression, Daoist Jiuyou, his face filled with joy and anticipation, walked out of the Skybreak Hall.
But as soon as he stepped out, he saw a disciple waiting outside, clearly having been there for a while. Unless there was something urgent, no one would wait outside the Skybreak Hall.
"What has happened in the sect?"
