After leaving the Zhou Residence, Yang Li casually found an inn in Zhou City and stayed there for the time being. Although his visit to the Zhou Family was somewhat unpleasant, if Zhou Chi heard about this matter, he would definitely send someone to look for him.
Due to this consideration, Yang Li also planned to cultivate in Zhou City for a period of time. If Zhou Chi did not send someone to look for him, he would not continue to stay in Zhou City. From then on, he would have nothing to do with the Zhou Family.
After all, if this matter was investigated, it was not Yang Li's fault. Rather, it was the guards who looked down on him.
Although Zhou Lingyi had already sent people to keep an eye on Yang Li and prepare to kill him, Yang Li staying in the inn made those people somewhat helpless. After all, Yang Li did not do anything too out of line. They also had no way of directly chasing Yang Li out of the city.
They could only wait for Yang Li to leave the city on his own. However, Yang Li would not be leaving in the short term.
Yang Li sat cross-legged on the bed in the room. Then, he took out a Heavenly Dao Fruit. He planned to use the Heavenly Dao Fruit to cultivate for the first time.
The Heavenly Dao Fruit was red in color and there was a faint aura of laws circulating around it to show its effects. After Yang Li took it out, he directly placed it in his mouth and bit down.
"This fruit's flesh is sweet and sour. It's quite delicious!" Yang Li said in surprise after taking a bite.
After that mouthful of fruit flesh entered Yang Li's mouth, it turned into liquid and flowed down Yang Li's body. After circling around Yang Li's body, it emitted a faint energy that strengthened Yang Li's perception of the laws of the outside world.
However, the energy contained in a mouthful of fruit flesh was too little. It did not have much effect on Yang Li. Yang Li quickly ate the entire fruit.
After Yang Li finished eating the fruit, his body suddenly felt a burning sensation. Yang Li's cultivation also slowly rose and his perception of the laws of the outside world became extremely sharp. Yang Li hurriedly closed his eyes and carefully felt the laws of the outside world.
In his perception, the originally profound and obscure Space Law was now like a naughty baby. It was extremely lively, and it was easy for people to capture it.
Yang Li suppressed the excitement in his heart and focused on cultivating. The laws of fire were simpler and easier to grasp than the laws of space. However, Yang Li did not cultivate the laws of fire first. After all, the laws of space were his trump card and main law.
If he used the Heavenly Dao Fruit to cultivate the laws of space, he would be neglecting the essentials.
Time passed bit by bit. Three days later, the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Dao Fruit in Yang Li's body had completely disappeared. In these three days, Yang Li's perception of the laws had risen by an entire level! His cultivation had also climbed to the second level of the Half Law Realm. The gap between him and those geniuses had become even smaller!
Yang Li felt the changes in his body and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with a satisfied smile.
"The Heavenly Dao Fruit really lives up to its name. Just one fruit alone has benefited me greatly. Although the effects will gradually decrease, if I eat all thirty of them, I should be able to make a lot of progress!"
Yang Li thought for a moment. If he cultivated in Zhou City, he would inevitably be disturbed. When the Zhou Family reacted, they would probably send someone to look for him. It was better to leave Zhou City first and find a quiet place to improve his cultivation before returning to Zhou City to see Zhou Chi.
With this thought, Yang Li directly got up and left the inn, flying out of the city.
…
In the Zhou Family's meeting hall.
Many of the middle-aged cultivators of the Zhou Family were sitting here. Zhou Tianji and the other juniors were standing silently on both sides of the meeting hall. Zhou Lingyi, who had previously argued with Yang Li, was standing in the middle of the hall. The people on both sides looked at him with sympathy.
Zhou Chi sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression. He stared coldly at Zhou Lingyi and said sternly, "Lingyi, tell me! Who taught you not to report to me when people visit me?! Didn't I tell you before I went into seclusion that if anyone came to visit me, to report to me directly?! "
"Yes." Zhou Lingyi said woodenly. He was also very depressed and a little angry. He never thought that Zhou Chi would make things difficult for him because of a young man. Moreover, he didn't even tell him the reason!
Zhou Chi seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He sneered, "Do you not understand why I would make things difficult for you because of a young man? After all, you are one of the juniors I like the most. You have always spoken softly to Ni. "
"That is indeed the case. Uncle, it is just a young man. Can't we just send someone to get him back after chasing him out? Why are you punishing me because of a young man?! "Zhou Lingyi's tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"Haha, good, well said! After all, our Zhou Family is a big family in the Central Region. Our divination skills are famous throughout the Central Region. Why can't we let someone enter the Zhou Family? "Zhou Chi seemed to be smiling in satisfaction.
Zhou Lingyi saw this and was about to say something, but Zhou Chi's expression suddenly turned cold. He said angrily, "But Zhou Lingyi, do you know who you have offended?!"
"You have offended the person in the prophecy of my ancestor! A person who can lead our Zhou Family to another peak! But now you have personally chased him out of the Zhou Family. As far as I know, he is a young Heavenly Son of Heaven. As a Heavenly Son of Heaven, who doesn't have pride?! "
"You may not have heard of Yang Li, but I can only tell you that he has a background in the Lunar Exploration Association! He came to the Zhou Family because of the help of the Zhou Family's ancestor. Recently, I have been thinking about how to treat him. "
"But in the end, he was chased out of the Zhou Family by you with just a few words! Remember this! Now, it is the Zhou Family that needs his help! Have any of you divined the fate of the Zhou Family?! "
"Let me tell you! Thirty years ago, I divined the fate of the Zhou Family. The divination showed that in forty years, if the Zhou Family does not have the help of a benefactor, the Zhou Family will definitely fall apart! Or even be completely wiped out! "
"And that benefactor is the Yang Li that you, Zhou Lingyi, chased away! Tell me! How can I not be angry! "
Zhou Chi's anger spread throughout the great hall. Everyone was silent out of fear, not daring to make a sound. Although Zhou Chi was no longer the head of the family, his authority was still there. Whether it was in terms of cultivation or divination, Zhou Chi far surpassed them.
Since Zhou Chi had said this, it meant that the Zhou Family would really face a great calamity in ten years. If they could not find Yang Li, then the Zhou Family would have to think of a way to deal with the calamity in thirty years.
"Zhou Lingyi, tell me now. How should we find Yang Li?!" Zhou Chi slowly closed his eyes, trying to calm the raging anger in his heart. Even though he had a good temper, he could not tolerate his own juniors doing such preposterous things.
At this moment, Zhou Lingyi's face was extremely pale. There was one more thing that the Zhou Family did not know. He, Zhou Lingyi, had sent a group of people to follow Yang Li. If Yang Li left the city, he would probably be killed immediately.
If Yang Li was really killed by his subordinates, the Zhou Family Head would be furious. A light punishment would be to destroy his cultivation and expel him from the Zhou Family. A heavy punishment would be to kill him directly!
If he said this now, the punishment he would receive would be lighter. At least he would not lose his life. Thinking of this, Zhou Lingyi said bitterly, "Uncle, I sent people to kill Yang Li …"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the Zhou Family's great hall was shocked. Zhou Tianji looked at Zhou Lingyi with a strange expression. He had thought that Zhou Lingyi would send people to kill Yang Li, but he did not expect that he would actually send people to kill him!
When Zhou Chi heard Zhou Lingyi's words, his pupils suddenly shrank. He stared at Zhou Lingyi and the anger in his heart was somewhat difficult to control. He said angrily, "Zhou Lingyi! Call back the people you sent! From now on, you, Zhou Lingyi, are not allowed to participate in any management of the Zhou Family! "
"If anything happens to Yang Li because of this, then you, Zhou Lingyi, can atone for your sins with your death!"
Zhou Lingyi's face became even paler. However, he did not dare to say anything. The Zhou Family Head was currently in a rage. If he said another word, he was afraid that he would lose his life!
Zhou Chi calmed himself down with difficulty. Then, he looked at Zhou Tianji and said, "Tianji, you have seen Yang Li. Immediately bring people to search for Yang Li. You can use all the family members as you please. No matter what, you must invite Yang Li back to the Zhou Family!"
"Yes! Great Grandfather! " Zhou Tianji replied in a clear voice. Then, he looked at Zhou Lingyi sympathetically and walked out of the Zhou Family Great Hall.
Fortunately, Yang Li did not leave Zhou City immediately. Instead, he stayed in the city for three days. When he left, Zhou Lingyi's people had already returned to search for him. Just as Yang Li stepped out of the inn, Zhou Tianji walked in with his people. Coincidentally, they brushed past each other.
After Yang Li left Zhou City, he directly flew towards the nearby mountain range. The mountain range was the most peaceful place. As long as he could pick a good place, he would be able to cultivate in seclusion for an entire year without being disturbed.
Yang Li randomly picked a mountain peak and made a cave. Then, he asked Ling'Er to arrange a spell formation for him. The entire cave was hidden. From afar, it looked as if no one had touched it. It was still an intact mountain range.
Yang Li immediately began to cultivate in the mountain range. Just as he had expected, the effects of the Heavenly Dao Fruit were getting weaker and weaker. Just the second fruit was only 70% as effective as the first one. However, the effects were still very great.
During this period of time, Yang Li would also enter the Ancient Secret Land through the beast skin from time to time. What made him a little excited was that eating the Heavenly Dao Fruit in the Ancient Secret Land seemed to have a better effect, and his comprehension of the laws would be faster.
