Inside the room.
Li Wei had rushed back as quickly as possible and was now staring intently at the computer screen.
[Your family has become a Nascent Soul Family!]
[Your family has touched upon the laws of Heaven and Earth. The family's incense value has become the family's Will!]
[Detecting a large amount of incense value within your family... Converting...]
[Gained Family Will: 30]
Transformation... everything was transforming. Li Wei clearly understood that Li Kuangtu's sacrifice had brought all of this about, and it was also influencing him.
"Huu."
Li Wei let out a long sigh. He could no longer express in words everything that Li Kuangtu had sacrificed for the family. Now, all he could do was fight alongside his family and grow stronger together!
[You have consumed 1 point of Family Will to upgrade the skill Lv.3 'Charge, Children!']
[Skill upgraded to — Family Glory!]
[Using the skill: Within a hundred-mile radius, the combat power of Li family descendants is increased by 20%! For Nascent Soul stage cultivators, their utilization of some of the laws of Heaven and Earth Qi is increased by 20%!]
[Currently using skill Lv.4 'Family Glory'!]
...
On the battlefield.
The spirit tablets beside the Li clan descendants floated upwards, shining brilliantly in the sky. The phantom images of these tablets formed a giant character 'Li,' its radiance enveloping all the Li clansmen around.
Every single one of them felt their strength increasing, and even their courage and will!
"Kill!"
The fifth-generation descendants, who had once charged into the Azure Cloud Martial Pavilion alongside Li Kuangtu, were far more frenzied than they had been that day!
Li Kuanghua's petite frame had grown to three meters tall. She hammered the ground with each step, the power of ice and rock and the Flood dragon force of the Raging Sky Flood Dragon exploding from her fists. Li Kuangren still sat upon his throne, and within the great formation, the Gentleman's Sword darted about freely.
They still remembered how, back in the Thunderfire Demon Cave, their little brother Kuangtu would always follow behind them, needing their help to get up and continue running.
Now, they were immensely proud.
Kuangtu had surpassed them. He was the king of the battlefield!
Behind them, the monk pair, Li Kuangshi and Li Kuangcai, still sat on their lotus platform, closely following the two who had descended into madness.
"Brother, I don't understand. Why would someone knowingly choose death when they could live?" Li Kuangcai asked, somewhat bewildered, as he summoned the tentacles of his bloody flesh lotus platform to deflect the totem artifacts attacking Li Kuangren.
"Perhaps this is the meaning of family, the meaning of kinship."
Li Kuangshi gazed at the fearless clansmen in front of him, each of them charging forward. He suddenly raised his head, looking at the character 'Li' in the sky, and exhaled slowly, "Sister, do you regret no longer believing in the Buddhist faith?"
Hearing this, Li Kuangcai suddenly smiled, "No regrets. At least the Buddha wouldn't shield us from the world's misunderstandings and abuse. Rumor has it there is a Pure Land, but we have never set foot in such a Pure Land. But Kuangtu... he made our family like a Pure Land in this chaotic world, a place of peace."
"Therefore..."
Li Kuangshi's lotus platform beneath him began to decompose, transforming into black-gold blood that floated around him, enveloping him. He looked like an eight-armed octopus on the battlefield. Whenever a tentacle extended, a large number of Wu Clan members would die. His eyes gradually turned black, "Sister, for such a Pure Land, for such a family, why can't we knowingly choose death when we could live?!?!"
"Fight!"
Behind Li Kuangcai, a massive Bodhisattva Dharma Body manifested, with sixteen arms and eyes that shone with golden light. He charged into battle!
[Your descendants Li Kuangshi and Li Kuangcai, over many years, have fused Buddhist monks and demonic cultivator corpses with the bloody flesh lotus platform. They have integrated the Buddhist body cultivator, Abbot Wuyou, into the bloody flesh lotus platform, and the bloody flesh lotus platform has been promoted to a seventh-grade spirit item!]
[Seventh-Grade Bloody Flesh Lotus Platform: Can fuse with a Dharma Body, transforming into either, 1) a demonic creature, or 2) a Vajra or Bodhisattva, comparable to a top-grade spirit artifact. When the two lotus platforms transform into a Buddha and a Demon, their combined form can be compared to a supreme-grade spirit artifact!]
[Your descendants Li Kuangshi and Li Kuangcai have broken through to the Golden Core stage, obtaining Earth Cores. With the fusion of their Buddha and Demon forms, they have surpassed the Heavenly Core!]
[Your two descendants, in this battle, have understood the meaning of family and have acquired the trait: Family Faith]
[They have found a new faith. Their fanaticism will carry on Li Kuangtu's will for the family, to fight for the family. This crazed faith increases their strength and willpower by 50%!]
...
The children of the fourth generation had also all reached the Golden Core stage without exception.
In that era when the Li family was in exile, every one of them had a hand in raising Li Kuangtu. That timid and pampered little boy had truly become a real man of the Li family, but the last memory that stinking brat left them with was still of him as a child.
No one knew better than they did how difficult it was to be in exile, and Li Kuangtu's kneeling before Guan Tian, that kneeling on the city wall, had bought them thirty years of peace.
Only now did they clearly understand how precious those thirty years had been.
"Show your skills! Let Kuangtu see that we are proud of him, and that we haven't wasted these thirty years!"
"Kill all the Wu Clan!"
"Use their blood to offer a sacrifice to Kuangtu!"
Fight, fight, fight!!!
Li Tianyi, Li Tianming, and Li Tianqi, who in the past would certainly have been joking around during a battle, were different now.
At this moment, these three shameless fellows put away their smiles. Their faces were expressionless. They exchanged a glance and directly targeted a Nascent Soul cultivator in the middle stage!
"Boom!"
The senior on their eldest brother's body appeared and engaged the Nascent Soul cultivator head-on. Li Tianqi moved around the periphery, occasionally being sent flying, but each time he returned, his aura was stronger.
Li Tianming stood in the distance, various spirit artifacts appearing around his body. He resembled a venomous snake.
For many years, the only reasons he had stayed with the family were his elder brother and the Ancestor.
Now, he looked around at the clan members charging into battle. He seemed to understand; it turned out that it wasn't just his elder brother and the Ancestor who cared about him. Perhaps everyone in the family had been silently contributing, just like Li Kuangtu, who had silently stood in front of everyone, including him.
These people, someday in the future, might not care that he was a bad seed, might not care about the many, many wrong things he had done, and would resolutely stand in the same direction as him.
"A bunch of... fools."
