Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 277
A Place Filled with "Freedom"
***
Luling City is one of the 17 major cities in Chongyang Star.
Around 3,000 cities and villages were all under the jurisdiction of Luling City and they had countless citizens.
This power was much greater than the Daozhou Star Emperor.
The controller of this authority was the Li Luling Family, a behemoth that had been passed down for over 20,000 years.
Even among the 19 strongest family clans in Chongyang Star, the Li Luling Family was ranked at the top.
The fundamental reason for their prosperity was because they strongly hugged the thighs of the Nine Death Heavenly Sect.
As long as the Nine Death Heavenly Sect wanted something, the Li Family of Luling would give everything to them. They can be said to be very obedient.
Moreover, they often sponsored the poor disciples of the Nine Death Heavenly Sect, helping them purchase the spiritual herbs and pills needed to cultivate. They would even give weapons to some of the stronger ones.
Although most of these disciples were ordinary people, there were some who actually achieved something.
Not only did these people become extremely powerful, but they also held some powerful positions in the Nine Death Heavenly Sect.
As a result, the relationship between the Li Luling Family and the Nine Death Heavenly Sect became very close. These people also knew how to repay kindness and often looked after the Li Family. As long as they did not damage the sect resources, they would do their best to let the Li Family benefit.
Most importantly, the Li Family was not weak either.
The number of Gold Gods was always stable, surviving at a figure just above 30. Although there were not many Limitless Gold Gods, usually only one or two, the flow of experts never stopped.
At its peak, they even had four Limitless Gold Gods.
This also made the Nine Death Heavenly Sect care deeply for the Li Luling Family and treat them as their trusted aides. Once there was a benefit to the family clan, they basically wanted the Li Luling Family to obtain it first.
Especially after 8,000 years ago.
8,000 years ago, a young man who came from a poor background and could only cultivate with the help of the Li Luling Family became famous at an astounding speed, mesmerizing the entire Chongyang Star and even the entire Five Views Realm.
The name of this young man was Wei Cheng.
He was a former Sect Master of the Nine Death Heavenly Sect, a current Grand Elder, a Sage in the Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm, and a supreme existence in the Sixth Realm of the Eternal World.
From then on, the relationship of the Nine Death Heavenly Sect with the Li Luling Family became even closer.
They can even be treated as a family.
This situation had reached its peak 7,000 years ago.
Li Fa, who came from the Li Luling Family, entered the Nine Death Heavenly Sect and displayed incredible talent. Although Wei Cheng was unable to directly accept a disciple due to his status, he still took Li Fa with him and personally guided him.
If not for Li Fa's unexpected death later on, it caused Wei Cheng's attitude towards the Li Luling Family to gradually become colder, instead, The current Li family might have already secured their position as the number one family clan in Chongyang Star.
After Li Fa died, as the generation that supported Wei Cheng gradually died of old age, the relationship between the Li Luling Family and the Nine Death Heavenly Sect returned to a normal state.
Nevertheless, the Li Family was still one of the most dependable families and cared for by the Nine Death Heavenly Sect.
Especially after Li Cheng and Li Wei broke through to the Boundless Gold Immortal realm, the Li Luling Family became even more important.
After all, there were only 20 to 30 Limitless Gold Gods in the entire Nine Death Heavenly Sect.
Moreover, these were two Limitless Golden Gods that were just over 700 years old.
In the future, they have the potential to reach the Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm!
However, in these past ten years, the situation had changed slightly.
The relationship between the Nine Death Heavenly Sect and the Li Luling Family suddenly became distant. Even the people from the Nine Death Heavenly Sect often posed problems for the Li family.
There seems to be some conflict between the two sides, but it is not very tense.
Only the Li Luling Family knew why the Nine Heavenly Death Sect did this.
The Li Family meeting hall.
The head of the family, Li Quan, sat at the end of the table.
He was an experienced Golden Immortal and also the father of Li Cheng and Li Wei. He had a very high prestige in the clan and his words were law.
There were six people sitting on both sides. They were all Gold Gods and were the heads of the various departments of the Li Family.
“Nine Heavenly Death Sect advanced step by step. Our days will be very difficult in the future. What do you think?" Li Quan frowned and said in a low voice, "If they don't get an answer from us about the Purple Sun Mystic Realm, I'm sure Wei Cheng won't give up."
“Sister, what exactly is there in the Mystical Realm of the Purple Sun that caught their attention?” The head of the second branch, Li En, asked curiously, "Could this be a chance to break through to the Peak of the Myriad Techniques Back to the One Realm?"
"How do I know? I've never been there either.” Li Quan smiled bitterly and said, “I have also told you about the Purple Sun Mystic Realm. 20 years ago, a Sage suddenly came and looked for me.
He planted information about the Mystical Realm of the Purple Sun in my mind and warned me to explore it myself, but I could not tell anyone. Otherwise, he will destroy our Li Family.
“But who knew that the Nine Death Heavenly Sect would get news from somewhere and was now convinced that our Li Family had information about the Purple Sun Mystic Realm? They've been interrogating us for almost ten years.”
Even if you can't become a Sage, you can still let Cheng'er or Wei'er get a great chance. They were both Limitless Gold Gods. Maybe they can instantly become Sage?”
"That's right. As long as they become Sages, the Nine Heavenly Death Sect will not dare to do anything to us at all.” The head of the fifth branch, Li Tong, nodded and said, “Chongyang stars are still ruled by the strong.”
"But there hasn't been news of Cheng'er and Weiler for a hundred years." Li Feng, the head of the third branch, frowned and said, The large flying “Feeds sent by the various families and sects of the Immortal to follow them also did not return. Even if we want to find it now, we don't have any leads.”
“Huh...” Li Quan sighed and said, “How could I not want to personally explore the Mystic Realm of the Purple Sun? However, the place was far from the Five Views Realm, separated by thousands of stars.
“All teleportation arrays to the Five Views Realm are controlled by the three Immortal Sects. With my Golden Immortal cultivation, it would take at least 200 years for me to ride an ordinary shuttle. There is not enough time.”
I really had no idea what that mysterious Sage wanted from me back then. In just a dozen years, he caused our Li Family to be in such a state. What's the goal!”
“Sister, why don't we directly provide information about the Purple Sun Mystic Realm to the Nine Death Heavenly Sect?” Li En persuaded. “With the information about the Purple Sun Mystic Realm in exchange for the protection of the Nine Death Heavenly Sect, I don't think that the mysterious Sage would dare to directly become an enemy with the Nine Death Heavenly Sect.”
"But will the Nine Death Heavenly Sect be an enemy to us with a Sage?" Li Quan glanced at his second brother and sneered. “That is His Highness Sage who can destroy our Li Family with a single breath.
Now that we have information about the Purple Sun Mystical Realm, Wei Cheng will not kill us as long as he wants to obtain it. Moreover, our Li family has been following the Nine Death Heavenly Sect for over 10,000 years. If he really attacked, it was not good for their reputation.
In the face of the pressure from the Nine Death Heavenly Sect, we might still have a way out. At the very least, before Wei Cheng's lifespan ran out, he wouldn't be too crazy. But if we were to face that mysterious Sage, that might not be the case.
Do you understand?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire meeting hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes.
Li Quan had already analyzed the situation very clearly.
The Li family only had one choice now, and that was to fight back.
He wanted to find a way to break through before Wei Cheng's lifetime ended.
Of course, if they were lucky and Li Cheng or Li Wei broke through to the Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm and became Sage, all crises would no longer be crises.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out! At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the meeting hall, breaking the deadly silence.
However, this sudden knock on the door immediately aroused everyone's anger, and it would be an outlet of their emotions.
The meeting hall is an important place for families and should not be disturbed.
"Old Master, Young Master and Young Miss are back!" The voice of the old butler came from outside. The anger in the hearts of these people instantly disappeared.
Li Cheng and Li Wei are back!
"Hurry, take me to see them!" Li Quan leaped from his chair excitedly and rushed out of the door in an instant, pulling the old butler out.
The others hurriedly followed.
To the current Li family, Li Cheng and Li Wei could be said to be their last straw strands.
Cui Heng did not go to the Li Family with Li Cheng and Li Wei.
Instead, he brought Pei Qingshu and Hui Shi around Luling City to observe the customs here.
For him, this was also exploring the unknown.
The overall layout of Luling City was a typical ancient city, but its size was many times larger. His humanistic state was also different from that of the Daozhou Star.
Since there is no national government, there are no local administrative officials. Families and sects that governed nominally also rarely exercised their jurisdiction.
Therefore, the community here has a lot of “freedom”.
It is basically understood that other than things that are contrary to the laws of nature and cannot be done openly, everything is left to man.
There are hardly any rules or etiquette here.
It's all up to the individual.
However, according to Cui Heng, this freedom was actually a form of chaos.
Unlimited freedom will gradually give birth to vile nature and gradually destroy humanity in humans.
“Qingshu, you've governed commoners before. What is your evaluation of this situation?” Cui Heng pointed to the chaotic path in front of him and asked Pei Qingshu.
“People here are crueler than humans. They're just a bunch of high-level monkeys.” Pei Qingshu shook his head gently and said, “From the situation of Li Cheng and Li Wei, it seems that the great family clan still has rules and laws. It's just that ordinary people don't.”
“In other words, the management method here does not treat ordinary people as humans.” Huishi nodded. “Family and Immortal sects here are truly 'shepherding' all living beings. Hm? Sir, it looks like something happened up ahead.. ”.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion ahead.
Immediately after, the commoners who had fainted on the street and were drinking wine all flinched and knelt before them. They bowed respectfully and shouted in unison.
"Welcome, Immortal Master of the Nine Death Heavenly Sect!"
"Welcome, Immortal Master of the Nine Death Heavenly Sect!"
