Chapter 125: The Plan of the Peerless Genius Li Li!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
The red-robed young man at the bow of the ship heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the lofty mountain retreat from his legs and be thrown behind the flying ship in the blink of an eye.
“Brother Li, you’re still worried about what happened a few days ago. It’s just a coincidence. There’s no need to take it to heart.”
A magnetic voice rang out beside the red-robed young man’s ear.
It was a handsome blue-robed young man.
Li Li was. .h.i.t by the blue-robed young man’s words. He snorted coldly and pretended to be disdainful.
“My Li family has the luck of the divine bird, the phoenix. Under its protection, even if we encounter danger, we will certainly survive.”
Li Li continued to explain, “What’s there to be afraid of? I’m just thinking about other things.”
The blue-robed youth curled his lips and then said flatteringly with a smile, “What Brother Li said makes sense. Right now, Brother Li is widely acknowledged as a genius among the younger generation of the Southern Domain’s cultivation world. He has reached the Dharma Idol realm before the age of two hundred. Even in the history of the southern territory, he is one of the first existences.”
“Brother Li’s fortune is as great as the heavens, and he has the luck of a phoenix. His future is truly boundless!”
“This trip to Dafeng will definitely make Fairy w.a.n.g Yuyan from the Central Plains Island fall in love with you. As far as I know, she has been staying in the Grand Moon Sect ever since she partic.i.p.ated in the Convention of Ten Thousand Immortals. This time, Brother Li will definitely be able to bring back a beauty.”
Li Li listened to the words of the blue-robed young man and was quite pleased.
Li Li was a rather conceited person. Being praised in front of others, he was also pleased with himself.
However, he still said humbly, “Not necessarily. Fairy w.a.n.g Yuyan has high standards and might not be interested in me. Furthermore, I have another motive for heading to Great Xia this time.”
When blue robe heard Li Li’s words, his eyes lit up.
He hurriedly asked, “Oh, what is Brother Li’s other motive? Can you share it?”
Li Li smiled. “It’s a secret.”
Then, he remained silent.
Li Li had just broken through to the Dharma Idol realm when he rushed to the Great Xia.
Firstly, he wanted to show his talent in cultivation in front of w.a.n.g Yuyan and have a wonderful marriage with her.
Secondly, it was for the mysterious phoenix.
Everyone in the cultivation world thought that the phoenix was going to the lower realm for the Li family of Nirvana City…
However, only Li Li and a few other higher-ups of the Li family knew that the Divine Bird Phoenix was only staying in Nirvana City to trade with the Li family.
For this reason, the Li family had offered up all their ancestral parasol tree branches.
It was precisely because of this that Li Li’s cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
On the surface, the Li family seemed to be very prosperous now, but the soaring fortune could only bring temporary benefits.
If they did not have any luck, the Li family would fall sooner or later.
Only by obtaining the phoenix’s protection for a long time or finding the real reason for the phoenix to descend could the Li family prosper.
The parasol tree branch of the Li family had a special mark carved on it.
Li Li’s flying boat followed the map and followed the special mark to Great Xia.
Li Li understood that the place where the phoenix rested must have a lot of treasures.
There was a shocking opportunity waiting for him to discover.
If Li Li could seize that opportunity, even if he didn’t need the protection of the phoenix, he could still maintain the prosperity of the Li family with his own strength!
Li Li had already imagined the scene of him ascending to the Immortal World.
He was beaming with joy.
He was in high spirits, as if he had already stood at the peak of the world of cultivators and was unrivaled.
Just as Li Li was fantasizing in his mind, he heard an exclamation in his ear.
“Brother Li, look. What is that?”
Li Li came back to his senses and looked in the direction that the blue-robed young man pointed.
He saw a black shadow whizzing past them like a cannonball from the side of their flying ship, only leaving behind a trail of smoke that soared into the sky.
“A Demon Emperor at the peak of the Dharma Idol realm!”
Li Li was extremely terrified.
He could vaguely see that it seemed to be a demon beast from the green hills. The blue-robed youth beside him said in shock, “We have been in the Great Xia territory for a very long time. Why would a demon emperor at the peak of the Dharma Idol realm suddenly appear? This demon is flying so casually in the air. Isn’t there a local mighty figure who could kill him with a single sword strike?”
Li Li did not make a sound.
He stared at the Demonic Qi that was disappearing into the distance, and a thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes.
That direction…
Wasn’t that the direction of the Grand Moon Sect?
Not good, w.a.n.g Yuyan was there right now!
Li Li panicked for a second, and then he instantly calmed down.
Women were not his primary target.
He was here to find opportunities and improve himself.
Looking in the direction of Mount Taiyin, Li Li suddenly widened his eyes.
He suddenly thought of something.
Yes, that was it.
That demon cultivator must have gone for opportunities as well.
The demons were much more sensitive to natural treasures than humans. That demon cultivator must have sensed something and hurried to Mount Taiyin.
No, he couldn’t let it steal his opportunities.
Thinking of this, Li Li ordered, “Hurry, raise the speed to the highest. We must go to the Grand Moon Sect in two days!”
…
At this moment, in Liu Changgong’s small courtyard.
“Success!”
Liu Changgong finished the painting with his last stroke.
Liu Changgong looked at the painting that he had just finished and was full of surprise.
The Painting of the Heavenly Court should be enough to satisfy Yu Hongye and the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
The Heavenly Court had the meaning of ascending to immortality as soon as possible. It was very suitable to give the Heavenly Court’s drawing to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
After waiting for a while, the ink on the drawing was also dried. Then, the seal was stamped and the words ‘Liu Changgong’ was written on it. Only then did the drawing be completed.
The little white fox on Liu Changgong’s legs had fallen asleep from watching.
The little red bird on Liu Changgong’s shoulder seemed to be staring at the drawing and thinking about something.
She wiped her eyes with her wings and showed a human-like expression of disbelief.
As the phoenix had disguised itself, Liu Changgong did not know its ident.i.ty.
Liu Changgong sighed in his heart.
‘Oh, this little bird is really interesting.’
Liu Changgong reached out his hand and wanted to tease it, but the little red bird spread its wings and flew back to the old peach tree.
It looked down on the small courtyard like a proud queen.
Liu Changgong shook his head helplessly. He was completely convinced by the little bird that had turned into a phoenix.
Ever since the little bird had been attracted by his song. ‘Seeking the Phoenix’, it had stayed in the courtyard and did not leave.
It was fine if it did not leave. Sometimes, Liu Changgong would take some rice and water to feed it, but the little red bird would ignore him and not give him any face.
Now that he saw the little red bird’s proud look, Liu Changgong became angry.
He couldn’t help but mutter, “You think you’re a phoenix with a feather on your head? You’re not that capable, but you have a big temper!”
The little fox lying on Liu Changgong’s leg had already woken up. When it heard Liu Changgong’s words, its body trembled in shock.
Senior, that was a real phoenix.
Su Yue was very helpless.
From the moment the little red bird descended into the courtyard, the terror in the depths of her bloodline had allowed her to recognize the ident.i.ty of the phoenix.
That n.o.ble and aloof gaze, other than the phoenix, could not appear on any other bird.
These few days, Su Yue had been living in fear every day. Even her favorite roasted chicken drumstick was no longer delicious.
