In the Hall of Elders of the Li Family Compound, Nantong City, Jiangbei
In the Hall of Elders, over twenty white-haired old men stood in three rows. They looked respectfully at a middle-aged man in a green robe sitting on an armchair in the middle of the hall.
"Martial Progenitor, what do you mean by saying you only have three days left to live?"
Li Tiankui bowed deeply and asked respectfully.
…
The Li Family Compound had been closed these past few days, refusing all visitors.
Something big had happened to the Li Family of Jiangnan!
A week ago, the Ancestral Shrine of the Li Family Compound had seen an unprecedented phenomenon — the Ancestral Tablet had cracked, celestial music had descended from the heavens, and clear water had appeared in the house.
Moreover, the most unbelievable thing was that the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, the "Moon Severing Sword Deity" Li Linzhou, who was revered as the "Martial Ancestor" by the Li family … had actually come back to life and reappeared in the world!
The "Moon Splitting Sword Deity", Li Linzhou, was a famous swordsman in the late Ming Dynasty. He was also the most accomplished martial artist in the history of the Li Family. He was the Li Family's proudest ancestor.
According to the ancient records, Li Linzhou was the best swordsman in the world. When he was 80 years old, he went to the top of Mount Tian alone and fought against the best martial artist of the Ming Dynasty, Gongsun Miao.
No one had witnessed the battle at the top of Mount Tian with their own eyes. But after the battle, the "Moon Splitting Sword Deity", Li Linzhou, and "Gongsun Miao", Gongsun Miao had both disappeared …
Regarding this matter, there were many records in ancient books.
Some said that the two had ascended to the heavens.
Some said that the two had perished together.
Some said that the two had agreed to fight to the death, and that their goal was to break through to the Arcane State.
Everyone had their own opinions, and there were all kinds of opinions.
…
The middle-aged man in a green robe sitting on the armchair in the middle of the hall was the Ming Dynasty's Patriarch, the "Moon Splitting Sword Deity", Li Linzhou!
"When I said I only have three days left to live … I meant exactly what I said."
Li Linzhou slowly opened his eyes and said slowly, word by word: "Li Tiankui, let me ask you, has anyone in the Li Family reached the Transcendent State and became a Grandmaster?"
Li Tiankui's expression froze. After a moment of silence, he replied in a low voice, "Martial Progenitor, no one in the Li family has reached the Transcendent State. Among the younger generation of the Li family, the most talented one is a girl named Li Yinlan. She's 24 years old this year, and she's already half a step away from Transcendent State! "
"No one has reached the Transcendent State?"
Li Linzhou let out a long sigh. After a long moment of silence, he slowly said, "Where is that Li Yinlan? Summon her here. Although the martial path of the mortal world … is now at the end of its road, before my lifespan ends, I should at least leave behind a glimmer of hope and remembrance for the Li family."
"I don't know where that girl has gone recently. I haven't seen her much."
Li Tiankui looked uneasy as he turned to look at a white-haired old man behind him. "Tian Yang, contact Lan 'er and tell her to return to the ancestral residence immediately!"
…
On the north bank of the Yangtze River, Pei Feng suddenly stopped.
His phone rang. It was a call from Li Yinlan.
A moment later, he hung up the phone and turned to look at the unfathomable horizon in the north.
He was less than 100 kilometers away from Nantong City, but Li Yinlan's call had temporarily changed his mind.
He had learned everything from Li Yinlan's call.
A week ago, a strange phenomenon that had not been seen in a hundred years had occurred in the Li family's ancestral shrine. The memorial tablet had cracked, celestial music had descended from the heavens, and clear water had appeared in the house.
Moreover, an ancestor of the Jiangnan Li family in the Ming Dynasty, Li Linzhou, had actually come back from the dead!
When Li Yinlan mentioned "come back from the dead", all the mysteries in Pei Feng's mind were solved.
He was sure that all of this was done by Erlang Xiansheng, and he also knew what kind of divine ability Li Linzhou, the Moon Severing Sword Immortal, had used when he descended from the immortal world.
Li Linzhou definitely wouldn't live past the twenty-seven time limit. Moreover, this method of descending to the mortal world … was the most dangerous and terrifying one. Once the twenty-seven time limit was reached, it was extremely likely that his soul would scatter and his primordial spirit would be annihilated, and there would be no possibility of reincarnation!
An immortal who had long ascended to the immortal world would choose this extremely dangerous method of descending to the mortal world. He either had something he had to do, or he was forced to do so.
Pei Feng wasn't interested in this. What he wanted to do now … was to let Li Yinlan rush to the Li family's courtyard first to accept the Moon Severing Sword Immortal Li Linzhou's inheritance before his death, and seize the Essence Liquid of Heaven and Earth.
When the dust had settled, he would appear again, kill that Moon Severing Sword Immortal Li Linzhou, and seize his soul and consciousness!
…
About four hours later, Li Yinlan arrived, travel-worn.
"Mr. Pei."
Her breath was like the scent of orchids, and her aura was boundless and majestic.
Li Yinlan was now a true Transcendent Grandmaster. It was just that the Li family of Jiangnan didn't know it yet.
"Do you know what to do?"
"Yes."
Li Yinlan's face was radiant, but her eyes were a little empty.
"Once everything is done, let me know."
"Yes, Mr. Pei."
…
Late at night, in the Elder's Hall.
A clear, gentle voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Grandpa, I'm back."
Li Tiankui, who had been waiting impatiently, was startled. He shouted, "Lan 'er, come in!"
As soon as Li Yinlan walked into the Elder's Hall, all the elders of the Li family were stunned.
Even Li Linzhou, who had been sitting on the armchair in the hall with his head lowered, opened his eyes. A strange blush appeared on his gaunt face. "Ocean of Knowledge? Child, you've reached the Transcendent State?! "
Li Yinlan looked at Li Linzhou in astonishment and then turned to Li Tiankui. "Grandpa, this is …"
Li Tiankui's voice suddenly became stern. "What are you waiting for? Kneel down and kowtow to the Martial Progenitor! "
Li Yinlan obediently knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Li Linzhou. "The 128th generation of the Li family, Li Yinlan, greets the Martial Progenitor."
Li Yinlan's bone structure and potential were top-notch, not inferior to He Hua's. Plus, she had taken a lot of Minor Rejuvenation Pills and had been baptized by the Essence Liquid of Heaven and Earth under Pei Feng's arrangement. Now that she had reached the Transcendent State, her bone structure and potential were even better than before.
Looking at the respectful and intelligent Li Yinlan in front of him, a gratified smile gradually appeared in Li Linzhou's eyes.
Although it was the end of the martial path, he could still see the hope of the Li family when he looked at Li Yinlan!
After all … the blood of the Li Clan flowed within him, and the feeling of inheriting the bloodline and continuing the family line was something he couldn't bear to part with in his entire lifetime.
"Child, come over here."
Li Linzhou looked at Li Yinlan and asked softly, "When did you break through the shackles and enter the Transcendent State?"
