Chapter 78:
Ancestor Li Wuqiang stared at Li Ran blankly.
Li Ran’s entire body was shrouded in red light as if he was surrounded by blood mist. His originally black eyes turned crimson, and there were red threads in his eyes. It looked extremely strange.
His body also grew a bit larger, slightly tightening his clothes, and his blood was surging like a river.
A feeling of bloodline connection was present to both of them.
“You actually awakened your bloodline? Then why haven’t I found out when you were born?”
Every newborn in the Li Family secretly got their bloodline density tested, Li Ran included.
Back then, Li Ran’s bloodline wasn’t so powerful!
Li Ran pretended to be dumbfounded, “I don’t know, but just as you were talking about the bloodline, it awakened by itself…”
“Awakened by itself…?”
“Could this be the will of the heavens? My Li family finally has someone who could awaken their bloodline!”
Li Ran scratched his head. “Is this very important?”
“Of course it’s important!”
Li Wuqiang’s eyes lit up. “With a bloodline successor, I’ll be able to leave this place!”
Li Ran’s lips twitched, “No wonder you’re so excited…”
With Li Wuqiang’s explanation, Li Ran finally understood.
The Li Family’s ancestor was an Immortal Emperor. Every descendant of the Li family had a trace of an Immortal Emperor’s blood.
The Li Family was a true immortal clan.
Immortal Emperors were extremely rare in the vast lands, because the higher the cultivation base, the harder it was for them to conceive.
After reaching the level of Immortal Emperor, the probability of leaving behind a descendant was basically zero.
But the Li family was different.
The Li Family’s Ancestral Immortal Emperor was called Li Hanjiang. He was called the Blood Demon Emperor.
He used his martial arts to reach the Great Dao, and his physical body had become a Saint. His qi and blood were as vigorous as a great river.
His flesh was as imposing as a mountain, and his palm could cut through the river!
It was precisely due to this fact that he did not have the after-effects of other powerful beings. Giving birth to a child was like playing around. It was easy to bear his descendant.
That was why his bloodline was able to continue.
However, there was also a flaw. The bloodline would become extremely thin, and the possibility of awakening would never exist.
No one in the Li Family had awakened in hundreds of years.
Li Ran seemed to have some thoughts. “So that means that the reason why you stayed in the secret ground of the Li family is to wait for the awakened one?”
“That’s right,” Li Wuqiang nodded. “My mission is to wait for the birth of the one who awakened their bloodline and properly teaches him… I didn’t expect that you will be a fish that escaped the net, who had only awakened at the age of eighteen.”
Because of the ancestral teachings, Li Wuqiang had no choice but to stay in the secret ground. He had even made plans to die here.
Li Ran’s appearance finally gave him hope.
“As long as you succeed in overcoming the tribulation, then that old man’s mission is completed. I will be able to leave this rotten place and enjoy myself outside!” Li Wuqiang’s eyes were filled with tears.
He had really held back for too long.
Li Ran said seriously, “All right, for the sake of freeing you, I’ll cultivate diligently!”
“Good child!” Li Wuqiang praised him.
“Then how should I make my bloodline stronger?”
“I don’t know.”
“I’m not an awakened person, how would I know the method to cultivate my bloodline? But according to common sense, as long as your cultivation becomes stronger, your bloodline will develop.”
Li Ran understood. “Does that mean that the higher my cultivation base is, the stronger my bloodline power will be?”
“That’s right.”
Li Ran was happy. Simple enough for him.
In any case, it was only a matter of time before he could become stronger.
“How do you plan to guide me in my training?” Li Ran asked.
Li Wuqiang shook his head. “You have a master yourself, why do you need my guidance?”
Li Ran said helplessly, “Then you have to do something, right?”
Li Wuqiang stroked his beard and said, “What I want to do is to wait quietly for you to pass the tribulation.”
“……”
Li Ran refused to give up. “As an Awakened, you have to give me some magical equipment and immortal pills, yes?”
Li Wuqiang looked at him warily. “Why should I give you my treasure?”
“You…” Li Ran resisted the urge to pull his beard.
This Old Master is simply too unreliable, ah!
Normally speaking, when any family ancestor finds a genius like him, shouldn’t he be heavily favored and get bestowed numerous treasures while still getting asked, “Is this enough, Child?”?
This old man is too damn stingy!
“Grandson, an Immortal Emperor’s bloodline is the best treasure. You must make good use of it. Don’t try to tarnish the reputation of our Li Family’s Immortal Emperor,” Li Wuqiang said.
“I understand everything, but can you not call me grandson?”
“Great-grandson?”
“…You can call me grandson.”
In the end, Li Wuqiang reluctantly took out an ancient book under Li Ran’s shameless begging.
It was said that this was a cultivation technique passed down from ancient times. After the cultivation technique was completed, its power would be peerless, and he could cultivate it until he reaches the Emperor realm.
Li Wuqiang said with regret, “If it wasn’t for my constitution, I wouldn’t have given it to you!”
Li Ran looked at the big words “Rakshasa Sutra” on the cover and his lips twitched.
“If I’m not mistaken, this should be a female cultivation technique…”
“You look down on female cultivators? I’m going to punch you!”
Li Ran didn’t want to stay any longer. He immediately got up and gave his biding.
The ancestor was still shouting behind him, asking him to close the door.

Grand Elder’s residence.
Grand Elder woke up and then opened his eyes in confusion. “Where am I?”
“Grand Elder, you’re finally awake! Fourth Elder, hurry up and come over! If you don’t wake up, the entire clan would be in danger!”
He told the Grand Elder about Li Daoyuan’s decision.
Bang!
Grand Elder slammed the bed and said angrily, “Li Daoyuan’s methods are so ruthless! Sheng’er’s corpse hadn’t turned cold yet, but he had already set his mind on me!”
The Fourth Elder consoled him, “Big Brother, don’t get angry. We can still make a long-term plan.”
“Yes, it’s only three years of confinement! I can endure it!”
“Li Ran is a disciple of the Youlou Temple, it’s impossible for him to succeed the family title. As long as we pull Li Daoyuan down, we’ll succeed!”
“That’s right. Old Six and I will always cooperate with you!” Fourth Elder said.
“Fourth Brother!”
“Big Brother!”
The two of them looked at each other with pride.
At this time, Li Wuqiang’s voice rang out, reverberating throughout the entire Li Manor.
“The son of the family head, Li Ran, possesses the bloodline of an Immortal Emperor. According to the teachings of our ancestors, he should be established as the young master, the next family head, and lead the Li family back to the glorious days of being an Immortal Emperor’s Clan!”
The Fourth Elder gulped. “Did I hear right? The next patriarch… is Li Ran?”
Pfft!
The Grand Elder was so furious that he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
“Big Brother!!”
