Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea

Chapter 128: Chapter 96 Foundation Establishment Grand Ceremony! Rising Fame! _2

“Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Outer Seas number in the tens of thousands, and the Business Association’s Heavenly Pavilion has ranked some of the Foundation Establishment Experts.”

“Ranked as Heaven, Earth, and Man, with the Heavenly List being the strongest, all are direct disciples of the Major Sects with astonishing Divine Skills.”

“The Heavenly List includes ten people, and the remaining two lists each include one hundred, all of whom are Perfect Foundation Establishment Cultivators, you must be extremely cautious when encountering them.”

Lu Li also nodded heavily.

He would not underestimate the experts of the world after his transformation.

Taking Heavenly Demon Prince as an example, the opponent would certainly not be weak after breaking through Foundation Establishment, not to mention the foremost individual of the previous generation from the Heavenly Demon Sect, which would be extremely terrifying.

Seeing Lu Li taking it seriously, Lu Tiande’s face was filled with relief.

He had come to regard Lu Li as the hope for the Lu Family’s rise and naturally did not want to see him fall due to arrogance.

“Rumor has it that those on the Heavenly List can withstand dozens of moves against a Purple Mansion Real Person and still retreat safely, which is quite terrifying.”

His face showed yearning.

Lu Li’s expression turned solemn upon hearing this, such capabilities might only be reachable after he cultivated to the second Divine Map.

Currently, he was just at the early stage of Innate Spirit Being and was no match for a Heavenly List expert, but retreating safely would not be difficult.

“The youngster is always cautious, he wouldn’t do anything foolish.”

His expression was extremely grave.

Lu Tiande was also quite satisfied, having watched Lu Li grow up, he greatly appreciated his character.

“In the future, the Lu Family will rely entirely on you. I still have half a year left, I hope to see after your Foundation Establishment ceremony…”

“Does the Elder know about reincarnation?”

Lu Li’s eyes seemed somewhat unfocused.

Lu Tiande looked stunned.

“The texts do not record it, but the power of Foundation Establishment Cultivators is too weak to understand many secrets.”

“Moreover, this realm is merely a Small Thousand World.”

“After cultivators fall, where their true spirits go is unknown to anyone.”

Lu Li’s eyes bore a profound depth: “Elder need not be pessimistic, if one day the youngster has the fortune to ascend the path of immortality, I’ll come back to guide the Elder up this lengthy immortal path.”

He owed much to the Elder in his life, so these words came straight from his heart.

“Ha ha… good, I’ll wait for you.”

Lu Tiande’s face was filled with boldness, feeling inspired by Lu Li’s astonishing spirit.

“Come, let’s drink this cup.”

Cup after cup, as they exchanged drinks, their sadness was no more.

Instead, Lu Tiande became more and more bold, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively. Within half an hour, the two of them had drunk several pots of Spiritual Wine and were slightly tipsy.

The aftereffect of the Spiritual Wine was significant, and neither used mana to metabolize it.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Li stood up to bid farewell and left.

Upon exiting the cave.

The cold wind blew, helping clear his head considerably he then flew toward his own cave residence.

…

Time slowly passed, and more than ten days flew by in a blink.

During these days, Lu Li constantly felt the changes in his own body.

Whether comprehending Divine Skills or refining Divine Weapons, every moment Spiritual Energy from the outside world surged into his body, which was quite miraculous.

Even as he lay sleeping, his Divine Power slowly increased, akin to the young beast of an Ancient True Spirit.

“This Innate Dao Fruit is indeed extraordinary.”

He looked quite surprised.

At that moment, Spirit Monkey Elder vaguely spoke, “You’ve only just broken through, your physical body still holds great potential and will continue to strengthen gradually.”

Lu Li nodded as during these days he continually cultivated the first Divine Map of Too Yin Refined Shape, gaining many insights.

Whether it was external Spiritual Energy or the Qi of Earth Evil and the Power of Moonlight and Starlight, he rejected nothing, transforming all into his Divine Power.

With such efficiency in cultivation, he was several times stronger than ordinary Qi Refinement practitioners.

Even if the path of Demon God posed difficulties in advancement, with his lifespan of several hundred years, it was still enough to cultivate to perfect Innate Spirit Being.

“Elder, do you know what the scenario is like after Purple Mansion?”

He raised his eyebrows, revealing all his inner questions.

“The path to opening an internal world within the body!”

Spirit Monkey Elder solemnly responded.

“To use powerful Divine Power to open up a small world within the Dantian, as your cultivation improves, this world can keep evolving, until it becomes a Great Thousand World…”

“At that time, with complete laws, nurturing thousands of lives, it can even replenish oneself, and if one is lucky enough to find an Innate Spirit Root to suppress the world, it would be sufficient to reverse and challenge the immortals!”

Lu Li’s face froze upon hearing this, the scenario beyond the Purple Mansion was indeed terrifying, yet the difficulty was presumably also steep.

This made him look forward to it immensely.

At that moment, the Spirit Monkey spoke again, “Once you cultivate to the Purple Mansion, finding a postnatal Spirit Root wouldn’t be bad either. Plant it within your inner world, it could regulate your vital essence and suppress the internal universe.”

Lu Li nodded with a smile, “Elder Ancestor, do you know the way of the Earth Immortal?”

“Trivial paths, merely a group of hopeless individuals struggling for a breath of air under the shadow of the Heavenly Immortal.”

The Spirit Monkey showed disdain.

“After the Nascent Soul, find a Small Thousand World, and connect the Nascent Soul with the will of that world…”

“A billion Earth Immortals aren’t comparable to a single Heavenly Immortal, not to mention the Innate Demon Gods.”

“It’s just that the path of immortality in this realm is arduous, and cultivators are merely chasing after it fervently. It’s a common sight in countless Small Thousand Worlds.”

Lu Li showed a look of understanding.

Now he finally understood some of these key points.

Had he not come across these opportunities, he might have chased that path as well.

Next, Lu Li placed several Foundation Establishment cultivators’ Storage Bags on the ground and poured out various items from inside.

Soon, the ground was covered with all sorts of Spiritual Objects.

A pungent smell of blood filled the air.

An abundance of Demon Pills and Magic Artifacts were scattered around, along with a large pile of Spirit Stones, including even some medium-grade ones.

He roughly estimated, totaling up to about three hundred thousand Spirit Stones. It indeed was a windfall.

While Lu Li was inventorying his gains, news about Lu Li’s Foundation Establishment and the battle spread instantly in all directions.

It shocked numerous cultivators in the nearby seas.

Who would have thought that not only did the Lu Family survive this demonic calamity, but they also rose a level higher.

The news of a new Foundation Establishment Ancestor in the Lu Family and the upcoming grand Foundation Establishment ceremony in half a year were also known by cultivators in the nearby seas.

Curious, they wondered who this new venerated ancestor of the Lu Family was who had killed several Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators, quite a remarkable feat.

Cultivators from various affiliated Qi Refinement families around the region prepared to attend the grand event in six months, pondering what gifts to bring, a headache for everyone.

To know in the nearby regions, Foundation Establishment Cultivators were already considered powerful, not to mention a young and strong Foundation Establishment cultivator.

A light gift would become the subject of ridicule, and being taken affront could be a loss. Yet, giving something valuable was indeed painful.

“It seems this time, a substantial sacrifice is required.”

The clan leaders of the affiliated families silently thought to themselves.

On a small island guarded by Qi Refinement family and Gong Family cultivators, as an affiliated force of the Lu Family, they too had learned about the events of these days.

In the central cave of the island,

an elder and a young girl sat on stone chairs.

“Does the elder want me to serve as a concubine to Elder Ancestor Lu Li?”

The young girl looked slightly puzzled.

The elder sighed softly, “This person is extremely young, and his divine abilities are astonishing. He will control the Lu Family for hundreds of years; our small Qi Refinement families can only rely on this elder in the future.”

Such situations were unfolding among the Lu Family’s affiliated forces.

In contrast, the Chen, Wang, and Lin family cultivators’ performances during this demonic ordeal were quite unexpected.

The Lin Family’s protective big formation was directly breached by Demon Cultivators, leading to the slaughter of all Foundation Establishment ancestors and clan members, with only a few managing to escape.

Even the Spiritual Vein Heart was extracted, turning it completely into a mortal island. All the Spiritual Objects were looted, spirit fields were destroyed, and the entire island’s murderous aura surged, detectable from miles away.

Chan and Wang families, however, managed to hold their grounds using their family heritage, suffering only minor injuries.

Even the Purple Mansion Lee family was caught off guard; although their spiritual mountain wasn’t broken, their subordinate forces suffered heavy losses, significantly diminishing Lee family’s prestige for a time.

At the same time, cultivators began to feel insecure.

Fearful that those strange Demon Cultivators might suddenly attack.

Some called for the Four Great Sects of the righteous path_army_final to eradicate those shadowy figures. Still, there was no response.

Inside a cave at the Purple Mansion Lee family’s residence,

two figures quietly conversed.

“Has the elder contacted the Flowers Sect? What did they say?”

“Alas… they just told me to go back and wait for news. Those remnants of Zoroastrianism also have Golden Core Venerables. They aren’t so easy to eradicate; otherwise, they wouldn’t have lasted this long.”

Both let out a heavy sigh.

“Then, can we possibly…”

Lee family’s elder turned stern, a chill flickering in his eyes.

Soon, tranquility returned to the air.

……

After Lu Li packed up the Spiritual Objects, he began to sit and meditate on his Divine Skills.

In his mind, he named the Innate Divine Ability “Sky Breaker,” coupled with Fatian Xiangdi, the power was extraordinarily fearsome.

He then started to carefully recall that strike in his mind, and gradually, insights began to rise within his heart…
