Chapter 330: 305 go to 1

Three days later.

The Li Family.

Fluttering pink petals scattered like snow, accumulating a thick layer in the courtyard.

Guided by a servant, Li Changgu entered the modest square courtyard with his head bowed respectfully.

In the courtyard, beside a round stone table, sat a gaunt old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a black robe and high cap.

The old man had his back to him, eyes slightly closed, seemingly deep in thought.

Yet even from behind, Li Changgu could clearly see that in a radius of more than ten meters around the entire courtyard, the air was trembling ever so slightly.

"Li Changgu from the third branch, greets the Family Head."

It was the first time he had been summoned alone, and though Li Changgu bowed his head, his heart was filled with excitement.

If there was someone who truly was the strongest pillar of the entire Li Family now-

then the Family Head, Li Yuan, would undoubtedly be it.

The Li Family had developed to its current state because of his support.

Nobility in Yi Country didn’t start off with noble bloodlines, standing at the pinnacle from the beginning.

They were forged in the fires of numerous national wars, the deities of slaughter who carved out their lineage.

And Li Yuan was such a deity.

Among the Jiu Yi, he was ranked fifth. But for the nine powerhouses of the Jiu Yi, except for the top-ranked Dongjun, the strength of the remaining eight was not determined by their ranking.

After all, they were all top-tier powerhouses, standing at the very pinnacle of Yi Country, and who didn’t have a few aces up their sleeves?

Who could really know the outcome of a true battle? Only a real fight would tell.

So, in reality, the other eight members of the Jiu Yi had similar status, nearly equal.

And Li Yuan was one of the top figures of the Jiu Yi, known in the Empire as Fengxue.

Li Yuan, now one hundred and seven years old, showed no signs of aging, and even with white hair and beard, his skin still looked like that of a man in his early forties with only a few wrinkles.

"Changgu, you have a good daughter," Li Yuan spoke softly.

"Replying to the Family Head, it’s just luck..."

"That’s not merely luck," Li Yuan said, "Behind all coincidences in the world, there is inevitability. That Dragon Whisker Sect, no one expected it to be such a hidden dragon."

He stood up, turned around, opened his eyes, and looked at Li Changgu.

"Have they found the Third Prince yet?"

"Not yet, but now that Chaoyu has stabilized, the prince’s location is still within the city. Judging from his life signs, he’s safe," Li Changgu replied.

"Regarding this incident, the higher-ups will try to cool it down as much as possible, and the media will quickly cover it up. You should be aware of that. Additionally, about your daughter’s teacher..."

Li Yuan paused.

He had intended to meet Li Chengyi.

But upon learning that the other party was a Blind Spot Individual, he couldn’t help but sigh in regret.

The instability of a Blind Spot Individual meant that such a person could never serve the clan, and even becoming an ally posed great uncertainty.

So...

"The main branch will maintain friendly support for Dragon Whisker Sect. Also, I’ve approved the temporary internal authority your daughter applied for yesterday."

"Yes!" Li Changgu nodded.

"That’ll be all... You may go now..."

Drip, drip, drip...

Just then, a soft beep sounded from Li Yuan, signaling the family’s internal emergency communicator.

A communication of great importance was usually the only reason that device would be activated.

Li Yuan’s brow furrowed as he pressed a spot on his clothing.

The communication connected.

"Family Head! We’ve just conducted the Feiyi consciousness power test on Li Chongnan! She... She!? She actually..." a somewhat terrified voice came through.

"Actually what!? Calm down," Li Yuan said, furrowing his brow.

"Li Chongnan... She’s actually a natural long-distance Feiyi controller!! Her consciousness power extension range is a maximum of five hundred meters!!"

"How much!?" Li Yuan thought he had heard incorrectly.

"Five hundred meters, Family Head! Five hundred meters!! A normal person would at most be a few meters or ten meters! Li Chongnan she...!!"

"Are you sure!?" Li Yuan hadn’t thought he could get excited over such a small matter after so many years, but at this moment-

In the search for a heir that yielded no results until now, his heart, calm as ice, began to feel a faint thrill.

"It’s five hundred meters! Moreover, her consciousness power load is more than twenty times that of a normal Feiyi Master!! It’s terrifying!! So terrifying!!" The voice of the elder Feiyi Master responsible for the test trembled.

"Li Chenglin! Do you dare to stake your life on the words you’ve just said!?" Li Yuan’s gaze sharpened as he spoke each word deliberately.

"I dare!! Damn it, another Grade Nine talent!! Hahaha!! Our Li Family has struck it rich! We’re going to strike it rich!! Hahahaha!!" The sound of wild laughter pierced through from the communicator.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Bang!!

In an instant, he shot into the sky, turning into a white vapor, flying towards the distant family testing grounds.

Li Changgu remained in place, completely unaware of what had happened. He couldn’t hear the voices from the communicator and just stood there, utterly bewildered.

Chaoyu International Airport.

The Dragon Whisker Sect’s group was in the departure lounge, waiting for their flight to take off.

"Go home obediently. Your family must be worried after not seeing you for so long," Zhuang Yijing said gently, ruffling the little boy’s hair.

Zhou Shuo appeared indifferent, dressed in sporty shorts and a tee, not unlike any other seven or eight-year-old child, his identity marker now concealed.

Watching the Dragon Whisker Sect’s group of five, he earnestly bowed to Zhuang Yijing.

"Auntie Jing, thank you for saving my life."

"Don’t mention it; in that situation, anyone would have stepped in to help. What I don’t understand is why your folks haven’t shown up yet. It’s outrageous, leaving such a little kid to fend for himself on his own," Zhuang Yijing said with a touch of helplessness.

For the past few days, the young boy had been following them, with no one coming to inquire about him. The safety agency personnel had been running ragged, and aircraft were flying all over the place.

It wasn’t until today that two individuals claiming to be relatives came to pick up the child.

"If I have time, may I come to visit you at the Dragon Whisker Sect?" Zhou Shuo asked earnestly.

"Of course, you may," Zhuang Yijing nodded.

As farewells were exchanged on one side, on the other, Yu Long, Yu Yanxiao, and disciple Li Chengyi stood together.

"Master, after we return this time, the Dragon Whisker Sect has become thoroughly famous. You need to build up the structure of the school; with so many disciples and numerous tribute funds, it’s also time to find a professional venue to hold assemblies," Li Chengyi suggested.

Yu Long chuckled, "That’s your business, don’t pretend you don’t know those people all came for you. What do you plan to do?"

"With Xiao Nan here, she will help me lay a solid foundation," Li Chengyi smiled.

He planned to screen applicants and then let Li Chongnan take charge of training these newly accepted disciples.

He himself had no time for these matters as he had something more important to focus on.

From the beginning, his aim was to gain access rights at the Chaoyu Library to search for materials related to the Hall of Oblivion.

"Xiao Nan is still so young... and you just..." Yu Long found himself at a loss for words, wanting to say something but realizing he no longer had much of a right to lecture Li Chengyi.

The gap between the two was too vast; the difference between a common martial artist and someone in the Dragon Realm was even greater than that between a person and a dog.

Thus, a belly full of words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t bring himself to say them.

"As per our previous agreement," Yu Long sighed, "you have entered the Dragon Realm, and from now on, you are the Sect Master of the Dragon Whisker Sect. I will step back and take a secondary role."

"So, everything will be up to me from now on?" Li Chengyi said with a smile.

"Yes, you decide," Yu Long confirmed.

"Then, Master, you go back first; I’ll stay a few more days and then return," Li Chengyi said.

"Alright, whatever you say," Yu Long sighed, still feeling as though everything was so unreal.

A disciple he taught in passing had, in such a short time, entered the Dragon Realm, the highest realm that he himself could only look up to for his entire life.

Alas...

With another sigh, he left with his daughter and Zhuang Yijing, heading towards the security checkpoint.

Yu Yanxiao kept her head down, not daring to look at Li Chengyi; her defeat had been too humiliating, almost stripped bare on the arena.

Ever since her rescue, she had been in a state of despondency.

Zhuang Yijing, on the other hand, developed even more admiration for Li Chengyi but also a significant sense of distance and awe, losing the closeness they once shared.

As he watched the three leave, Li Chengyi glanced at Zhou Shuo, then turned with Li Chongnan to prepare to depart.

"Master Li," Zhou Shuo suddenly said.

"?" Li Chengyi paused, looking at him.

"If the Dragon Whisker Sect ever needs help, you can call this number," Zhou Shuo said, tossing over a crumpled note.

Slap.

Li Chengyi caught it and unfolded it to see a string of special numbers.

"Alright," he nodded.

Zhou Shuo was no ordinary person, Li Chengyi could tell. In this world, it was always good to have more friends and pathways,

perhaps there would come a time when this favor could be useful.

After finishing these last words, Zhou Shuo quickly left, protected by two tall men in suits.

Chaoyu Library.

This massive enclosed underground library formed the edifice for the physical storage of information,

row upon row of pale blue chairs, like those in a church, waiting to be read in.

Li Chengyi, accompanied by Li Chongnan, entered the library and registered their information.

"Please wait here for a moment, Teacher, I’ll be right back," Li Chongnan said as she made her way to one of the chairs and sat down.

Hisss.

The chair reclined backward and quickly sank down.

In the blink of an eye, it had sunk underground, leaving behind a gaping hole.

The hole was promptly closed up.

Shortly after,

the hole opened again, and Li Chongnan rose back up, got off the chair, and approached Li Chengyi.

"Teacher, I found the information," she said.

"Where does that passage come from?" Li Chengyi had given Li Chongnan the text written in Black Sea Script to transcribe and tasked her with the search.

"It didn’t specify where it comes from, but according to the record, this piece of information was initially found by the official Blind Spot Department in a place called Naxi Town."

"Naxi Town?"

"Yes, it’s a small town belonging to an island nation called Frandy, located on the Fermo Ocean. It was in Naxi Town that someone named Tomira wrote some fragmented notes, which included this passage," Li Chongnan answered.

"Naxi Town, Tomira... how old is the information?"

"Over thirty years ago."

"What about the Eternal Wishing Book? Did you find anything on that?" Li Chengyi asked again.

"That... no. The database only has speculative descriptions of its function, nothing more," Li Chongnan shook her head.

Li Chengyi considered for a moment.

"What about the other keywords I asked you to look up? Any news on those?"

"Yes, regarding the Blind Spot, the official records show that there have been three instances of the formation of Blind Spot phenomena. According to the observations, the formation of a Blind Spot mainly has two prerequisites:

One: A strong and massive life force field. Two: Special erosion by the Black Sea."

Li Chongnan was also somewhat baffled.

"Teacher, what is the Black Sea?"
