Chapter 2156: Chapter 1548: The Unexpected

"Indeed."

Qingpeng felt somewhat dejected, muttering, "So many years have passed, I wonder how Jiu is doing now, whether he has encountered any danger, or to what realm his cultivation has advanced."

"Don’t worry, with Jiu’s strength and abilities, even if he does encounter danger, he’ll be able to get through it safely," Qingcang comforted him from the side.

"Exactly, and isn’t Yuhong by his side? Sooner or later, Jiu will return."

Qingxuan laughed and said, "Maybe while I’m still training in The Void, Jiu will come back with Yuhong, and then you’ll be able to see him."

"Alright! Let’s not dwell on this. I wish you abundant harvests in the Chaos and a safe return."

Qingpeng didn’t want to dampen the mood, after all for Qingxuan, going out to train is a good thing, he shouldn’t let this affect his emotions.

"Then I wish you achieve your desires and make further progress," Qingcang sincerely said.

"Well, I’ll take your kind words to heart. If I get anything worthwhile, I certainly won’t forget you both."

Qingxuan smiled and said, "Time to go, I’ll leave the family in your care."

After finishing, he nodded at a few Clan Leaders and Elders not far away, then transformed into a rainbow light and flew towards the sky.

To speak of this, they willingly stayed with the Li family to protect it after Li Zhirui transcended, not just because of his entrustment. More importantly, the Li family could provide them with ample cultivation resources.

As for Qingpeng and Qingcang, their ties with the Li family were even deeper, as most of their Divine Domains were on Li family territory.

So now, aside from the sentiment accumulated over time, there’s also a close interest relationship between the two parties.

Watching Qingxuan’s gradually receding figure, Qingpeng said with some melancholy, "I wonder when we’ll have the chance to leave the Primal Spirit Realm and head into The Void."

Faced with this question, Qingcang didn’t know how to answer.

As of now, among the countless Great Gods of the Divine Path, only Doumu Lord has successfully transcended, leaving the Primal Spirit Realm, while all other divinities are still striving.

"Keep striving, that day will come," he finally responded dryly.

"Let’s hope so."

Actually, even Qingpeng himself didn’t hold much hope for this.

He then turned to ask the Clan Leader nearby, "Clan Leader, does the family currently have any clan members at Perfect Earth Immortal advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"

"A few elders seem to have gained insights after contemplating the revelations and experiences left by the ancestors and have started seclusion," the Clan Leader answered honestly.

"Hmm, does the family still have a few Creation Heavenly Pills? If they have thirty percent certainty to successfully advance to Heavenly Immortal, let them take these pills."

Finally, Qingpeng added, "If the attributes of the Creation Heavenly Pill don’t match their Spiritual Roots, we also have a few Heavenly Pills that Jiu specifically left behind."

Indeed, although Li Zhirui left the family only five or six Creation Heavenly Pills, he secretly left a few with Qingxuan, Qingpeng, and others for safekeeping.

Of course, this was in hopes that the family could produce more Heavenly Immortals to ensure the family’s safety and preserve the legacy.

The reason Qingpeng chose this moment to bring them out is that the Li family hasn’t produced a new Heavenly Immortal for a long time.

Moreover, with Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan transcending, Jiang Fengwu wandering in The Void, the Li family’s strength in the eyes of certain forces is no longer as formidable as before.

Now that Qingxuan is also out training, the family’s strength has weakened once again. The family must demonstrate enough powerful strength to deter those malicious forces.

And the best way is to produce Heavenly Immortals.

If possible, it would be even better to produce several Heavenly Immortals.

"Yes! I will remember this," the Clan Leader hurriedly assented.

How could he oppose a decision beneficial to the family?

But when the Clan Leader looked up again, Qingpeng and Qingcang had already disappeared, returning to the Divine Domain.

The Clan Leader immediately sent someone to inform those clan members in seclusion, advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Caught off guard, being interrupted during cultivation, especially upon asking the reason from the messenger and learning the family wasn’t in dire need, but merely summoned by the Clan Leader for some matter, their expressions naturally wouldn’t be pleasant.

Not that they disrespected the Clan Leader, mainly that such abrupt exits from seclusion were detrimental to their advancement and instead increased difficulty.

However, when they met each other in front of the family hall, their sour expressions improved quite a bit.

Because they realized it wasn’t just one of them being summoned, but all the clan members advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, presumably for some important matter.

"I wonder what urgent matters caused the Clan Leader to gather us?" Li Yunran, being the most senior among them, naturally spoke first.

"The situation arose suddenly, this time gathering all of you elders to ask a question, and I hope you will answer truthfully,"

The Clan Leader straightened his face and said seriously, "I need to know how confident you elders are in advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

"I hope all of you elders answer truthfully, without deceit," he reminded again.

The group was puzzled, feeling it was significant, but none of them lied, and they honestly expressed their calculations.

"I have roughly forty percent certainty."

"I am about thirty percent certain."

"Less than thirty percent, just taking a risky chance."

...

Seven Perfect Earth Immortal cultivators from the Li family spoke in turn, the highest being Li Yunran, who had forty percent certainty to breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal.
