Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 236: Heavenly Star Sword

"Impossible!"

Long Xuankong's roar came from the distance.

Standing at the front of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin with his hands clasped behind his back, Li Dalong could already see the Long family's flying ship. "A Spirit Artifact flying ship, capable of carrying ten thousand people," he observed. "It has a Seventh-Grade defensive formation and six spirit crossbows with the power of high-grade Spirit Weapons. Unfortunately, its size makes it as slow as a low-grade Spirit Shuttle."

Swords emerged from their sheaths one after another, gathering in the sky at a steady pace, forming a rainbow of sword energy.

How could Li Yaozu not notice the reluctance in his father's eyes?

This thrifty nature seemed to run in the family. Li Yaozu also sighed and said, "It's a pity, Father. This Spirit Artifact flying ship won't remain intact today. Its construction is quite complex. I wonder if Third Brother can build an even better one."

"Yaotie is a Seventh-Grade Artifact Master," Li Dalong replied. "He should be capable of building another one. After the battle, remember to have someone collect the fragments. The spoils of our family must not fall into the hands of others."

"..."

In front of the screen, Li Wei watched the father and son discussing this calmly, scratching his head.

"They're already discussing the spoils of war before the battle has even begun, aren't they?" he thought with amusement.

After all, they had come from a background of poverty and knew the value of resources.

But they were also entitled to such confidence!

Li Wei clicked on their icons, checking their information.

Li Yaozu, early-stage Golden Core.

But don't underestimate him because of his low realm. His most extraordinary aspect lies in his traits!

[Your descendant has traveled the world with his sword for many years, defeating countless swordsmen.]

[His sword case holds twenty thousand swords. After years of fusing swords with dantian fire, his Thousand Swords Body has undergone a transformation — the Ten Thousand Swords Body!]

[His body is as strong as a mid-grade Spirit Weapon sword!]

Decades had passed. Li Yaozu, consistent in his dedication, had been pursuing the essence of the sword with unwavering focus. He deserved such achievements.

Within the sword case, a long sword rested in Li Yaozu's hand.

The sword was entirely pitch black, with cracks running through it. Strands of spiritual energy held the fragments that formed the blade together.

[Heavenly Star Sword]

[Grade: Supreme-grade Spirit Weapon]

[Description: This sword was obtained from the Heavenly Star Sword Saint. The sword can transform into stars!]

The rumors in the martial world were indeed true. Li Yaozu had truly met and fought the Heavenly Star Sword Saint!

[Your descendant fought a battle with the "Heavenly Star Sword Saint" from Starfall Region. The Sword Saint, encountering a bottleneck in his swordsmanship, heard of the Sword King Li Yaozu in the Azure Cloud Region and came to seek enlightenment through a duel. The two fought as mortals, using only sword techniques and sword intent.]

[This battle spanned eight hundred li (about 400 kilometers) and lasted for seven days and nights, with them chasing each other throughout the Azure Cloud Region. Li Yaozu was defeated ten thousand times, but he broke through the Sword Saint's techniques over a hundred times. In the final exchange, he surpassed the Sword Saint with a single move. With this one strike, a mountain was split into three, granting the Sword Saint sudden enlightenment.]

[Your descendant, Li Yaozu, received a gift from the Heavenly Star Sword Saint: the Supreme-grade Spirit Weapon, the Heavenly Star Sword!]

[Your descendant, through exchanging blows with the Sword Saint, gained a few strands of his sword intent. His sword technique, "Sword Travels a Thousand Miles," broke through to the Profound-grade level, becoming the "Heavenly Sword Rainbow"!]

That battle was undoubtedly the most beneficial one in Li Yaozu's life!

Seven days and nights.

Everyone thought he was merely escaping from the Sword Saint, but in truth, they were exchanging techniques and learning from each other. He didn't win the Sword Saint's sword either. The two admired each other deeply and almost swore brotherhood on the spot.

...

Besides Li Yaozu there was also...

"Xuan Tianzi!"

Li Dalong called out, looking at the fleeing spirit ship ahead.

Xuan Tianzi, who had been severely injured in the explosion that day, both her Nascent Soul and physical body damaged, raised her head. She gazed respectfully at Li Dalong, awaiting his orders.

Just like that day at the Skyveil Sect, she sat quietly, resembling an innocent little girl, her small feet dangling in mid-air.

But the current Xuan Tianzi, was not wearing her usual green attire. Her face had an inhumanly pale complexion, making her look even more like a porcelain doll.

She wore a strange black dress that reached her knees, with detachable sleeves that revealed her small shoulders.

She had two hairpins in her hair, which jingled in the wind, especially with the two black talismans hanging from their ends.

She also wore talismans made from some unknown animal hide on her calves, revealing her fair thighs beneath the hem of her skirt.

This Xuan Tianzi, hearing Li Dalong's call, stared with her large, pitch-black eyes, which lacked pupils. Her innocent and naive appearance was truly adorable.

"Master," she asked, "what are your orders?"

Li Dalong didn't even glance at Xuan Tianzi.

He simply gazed at Long Xuankong on the spirit ship, whose Dao heart seemed to have crumbled.

He still remembered how arrogant and condescending Long Xuankong had been.

This man had barged into the Skyveil Sect without a word. He was so arrogant, always looking down on the Li family as mere ants. He had even chatted and laughed outside the Skyveil Sect gates.

And now...

Li Dalong saw the panic in his eyes, the same panic he himself had felt when facing their ancestor!

"Kill him."

Li Dalong spoke softly.

Without a word, Xuan Tianzi stood up, soared into the air, and charged toward Long Xuankong. A fierce wind howled through the sky, and the bells on Xuan Tianzi's body jingled loudly!

...

"A Heavenly Zombie!"

Seeing Xuan Tianzi approaching, none of the Long family cultivators found her adorable anymore.

They could sense the deathly aura emanating from Xuan Tianzi!

The faint power of laws, within the realm of Nascent Soul, caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to exude an intense aura of death. It was an aura that instilled fear in anyone who came into contact with it.

It was a bright, clear day, yet the sky was shrouded in black mist.

"The Li family's methods are truly formidable," Long Xuankong exclaimed. "They actually refined a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator like you into a Heavenly Zombie and even granted you a nascent soul!"

Seeing Xuan Tianzi approaching, Long Xuankong didn't dare to be careless. He turned to his clan members and shouted, "Go back! I'll handle this!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He saw Li Dalong of the Li family, riding the silver coffin, already passing him by and chasing after his clan members.

But he knew even more clearly that he had to stop Xuan Tianzi.

A Nascent Soul cultivator, for a large clan, was undoubtedly a devastating force. However, he was quite confident. Li Dalong and that Sword King Li Yaozu, even with the addition of Elder Tianqing from the Azure Cloud Pavilion, couldn't possibly be a match for the descendants of the Long family. With just those three, it was simply too disrespectful to the Long family...

Just as he blocked an attack from Xuan Tianzi, Long Xuankong's expression changed.

In the distance, three figures rose into the air from the Heaven-Piercing Coffin.

One after another, flying corpses, and even Zombie Kings at the Golden Core stage, emerged from the silver coffin, instantly filling the sky for a thousand meters around!

Besides that, ancestral tablets suddenly rose from the bodies of two Li family members. They were like the Li family ancestor's tablet he had seen that day at the Skyveil Sect. These tablets were emitting a purple light, and unlike that day, when a figure shrouded in mist appeared before the tablet, this time spiritual power appeared!
