High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 1229: Chapter 574: Firewood Temple

The Innate Law Fruit, by its very nature, is a form of external aid, extremely rare, and the vast majority of Divine Monarchs are unable to find it.

Only an existence as superlative as the Dong Mang God King, upon understanding Li Yuan’s situation, offered it as a gift.

Without the Innate Law Fruit, even if Li Yuan could provide copious cultivation resources, aside from Muhua having a slight hope of becoming a Pseudo-God, for Qian Qian and their uncles to reach the Semi-Divine level would likely be the limit.

Thus, Li Yuan made the decision without hesitation to bring several close relatives to the Void God Realm.

From this point on, they would have a lifespan of five thousand years.

“In this vast cosmos, even Divine Kings and Divine Emperors face eventual extinction.”

“My uncles, with my utmost assistance, can only reach the Five-Star Meridian due to limits in their talent. Yet, becoming a Pseudo-God grants them five thousand years of life.” Li Yuan silently mused, “To live a leisurely life, this is the utmost I can do.”

In Li Yuan’s heart, he naturally hoped that his uncles and aunts could live forever, always by his side.

But Li Yuan understood further.

“Human strength has its limits; one must be content.”

…

Soon, upon receiving the news, Li Changzhou and Chen Hui, overjoyed, came out of seclusion.

After all, although Chen Hui had stepped into the Semi-Divine Realm, given her talent, even with her current high level of Law Comprehension, awakening the fifth Star Meridian in the Semi-Divine Realm still wasn’t something achievable in a short time.

The two hurried over.

“Uncle, Aunt.” Li Yuan, who had been waiting in the courtyard, went up to greet them directly.

“Little Yuan, your aunt has missed you so much; it’s been so many years.” Chen Hui was delighted, her eyes slightly moist at the corners.

She naturally knew that Li Yuan was not in any life-threatening danger.

Moreover, communicating with Liu Bing, she also knew that in the Divine Realm, Li Yuan had a very high status and immense strength.

Yet, her heart was still filled with concern.

In her heart, she always treated Li Yuan as a son.

“Little Yuan.” Li Changzhou smiled, “It’s been nearly a hundred years since you left, great to have you back.”

Li Yuan felt a bit sentimental as well.

The years of a cultivator are like this; even some Heavenly Divines and Divine Kings often go missing for thousands or tens of thousands of years during their adventures.

“Uncle, I’ve heard from Muhua and the others that all these years, you’ve traveled to various planets and even piloted a spaceship into the deep starry sky, quite delightful.” Li Yuan laughed.

“In life, one must seek some joy.” Li Changzhou chuckled, “When I was in the Flying Heaven Realm, I always went fishing, but after stepping into the Semi-Divine Realm, I realized the vastness of the world.”

“One’s life will ultimately end.”

“One must see faraway places.” Li Changzhou remained quite talkative, and after nearly a century, his demeanor had become extraordinarily distinguished.

“Little Yuan has just returned; why speak of death? The older you get, the worse you speak.” Chen Hui rolled her eyes.

“Hehe.” Li Changzhou chuckled, the couple’s lifelong love for each other had only made them more fond of banter.

The family sat together in harmony and joy.

The next day.

Originally living in various parts of the Source Star, the ’Li family members’ flocked from all over the planet to come, even returning from other planets within the Seven Star Civilization… They all received news from the family leadership.

Dusk fell.

In the grand ’main hall’ of Gushan Courtyard.

“Greetings to the two ancestors.”

“Greetings to the Clan Leader.”

“Greetings to the Deputy Clan Leader.” Hundreds of people, led by the third-generation members like Li Yu, Li Qingqing, Li Zhen, stood in various places in the hall, all paying their respects with great reverence.

Among them, many were incredibly excited.

They all knew that today they would finally meet the Clan Leader, who had brought unparalleled prestige and special status to the entire family within the civilization.

It was known that within the Li family, the vast majority had never met Li Yuan.

Li Changzhou, Li Yuan, Li Muhua, and the others stood at a high place.

And almost all the eyes of the Li family members were fixed on Li Yuan, whose aura was restrained, but the significant difference in life essence still made everyone present tremble with awe.

“Is that the Clan Leader?”

“Our Seven Star Civilization’s highest authority!”

“Who is the girl beside him? So beautiful! I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman; could she be the Clan Leader’s wife?” Many also noticed Liu Bing standing beside Li Yuan.

The name True God Tian Bing was known among the Seven Star Civilization’s elite.

But her appearance? Few knew.

Given Liu Bing’s pride, she only respected Li Yuan’s closest friends and family, like Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai.

The others? Liu Bing looked down on them.

“It’s said that after the Clan Leader annihilated the Myriad Demons Civilization, he rarely showed himself.”

“I spoke with a Demigod from the Starfire Martial Hall; the Clan Leader had been in the distant Divine Realm, and I never expected him to return.” These Li clan members were incredibly tense.

They had no choice!

They were well aware of the reason their family could stand at the pinnacle, unchallenged within the Seven Star Civilization.

That a family could even possess a planet as a fiefdom, with laws and regulations wholly independent of the civilization… how extraordinary?

All was due to that figure.

He was the pillar that held up the Li family!

“Sit down.” Li Yuan said calmly, having already reviewed the family’s records of the past century.

Li Yuan was aware that among the hundreds before him, quite a number were partners of direct descendants.

The actual direct descendants with the bloodline numbered just over a hundred.

They were the descendants of Li Muhua and Li Qianqian… Together, the two of them had eight children.

After nearly a century, generation after generation, there were still fewer than two hundred direct family members left, which was already very few.

This also meant that each Li family member held immense influence within the Seven Star Civilization.

Even younger Li clan members with lesser strength, merely Prime Warriors, caused many Flying Heaven Warriors and even Demigods to avoid offending them.
