Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 828 Family Secrets
The elder's withered face resembled an old tree bark.

Li Daoxian did not speak, but a phantom image of a giant black and white tree appeared behind him.

The roots spread out and wrapped around the Grand Elder's body.

His eyes shone with a soft light as he carefully observed the Grand Elder's every move.

The Grand Elder did not make any unusual moves; he simply sat there, like a stone or a statue.

Let the roots entwine around him.

Is it arrogance? Or confidence?

Li Daoxian narrowed his eyes, waiting with bated breath.

Those tentacles, capable of absorbing even the aura of chaos, seemed to have become entangled with something that did not exist.

It was as if there was nothing inside this withered shell, so the giant tree was unable to absorb anything in any way.

“No need to waste your energy.” The elder drooped his eyes, not surprised by the scene. “Truth is not bound by rules.”

Li Daoxian smiled and said, "Can you represent the truth?"

The Grand Elder still looked half-dead, but now he seemed arrogant and condescending: "I cannot represent the truth, but I was the truth."

"Hmm? You were once the Wizard of Truth?" Li Daoxian raised an eyebrow.

"Of course." The elder extended his withered right hand and gently flicked it.

The things that had been wrapped around him were brushed aside and curled up beside his hand like obedient pets.

The elder exclaimed in praise, "Not bad, little fellow."

It's unclear whether they're referring to the severed root or to Li Daoxian.

Li Daoxian felt it was the latter, so he sensed obvious malice and instinctively felt a sense of disgust.

He smirked, "In that case, allow me to give it a try."

Suddenly, ten dazzling deep blue crystals floated out from the void behind Li Daoxian, surrounding him.

A crystal suddenly dimmed.

Then, a strong, deep green light burst forth, as thick as a forearm, rushing towards the Grand Elder with a howling malice.

Li Daoxian was certain that even a rule-based wizard could not directly withstand his deadly curse and would have to avoid its edge.

Not only is it reinforced with countless layers of deadly control, but it is also imbued with the malice and killing intent gathered from all his subordinates by the Peace Leader talent, plus the threads of fate that Li Daoxian's talent can see in the Second World. This is a magic that kills instantly upon contact, encompassing all of Li Daoxian's domains in this one strike.

The deadly curse, amplified by multiple layers of enhancement, slammed heavily into the Grand Elder's body.

Green light burst forth, forming a vast green ocean in which countless wronged souls howled. One could even see the hands of countless wronged souls tearing at the Grand Elder's body, trying to drag him to his death.

The elder was thin and frail, yet he stood firm like a rock amidst the deep green storm of death.

The vengeful spirits haunted him until they dissipated, and the Grand Elder remained unharmed.

Li Daoxian did not stop, and several more magic crystals behind him suddenly lost their color and dimmed.

A scorching, pitch-black flame.

Extreme cold that penetrates to the bone marrow.

The surging, violent lightning.

The various talents and laws copied from the Revelation Tree pushed Li Daoxian's various elemental magics to their limits.

When elements fuse together, their power increases exponentially.

It wasn't over yet. The stone magic crystal behind Li Daoxian, whose parts had dimmed, was gradually regaining its luster and was still replenishing itself.

After being replenished, it dimmed once more, condensing into new magic.

Forbidden-level magic was easily wielded by Li Daoxian.

Not only can it be cast instantly, but it also comes with various super-powerful perks such as spell enhancement, spell power, and spell amplification.

Various magical spells appeared in succession, bursting forth with endless rainbow light, like an ever-emerging, inexhaustible tide, pressing down on the Grand Elder.

Li Daoxian wove a magical rainbow waterfall, with death and terror permeating the beautiful radiance.

Every bit of magic was under his control, condensed into the magic, without affecting the furnishings and decorations in the room, and no one else outside the wall even felt the magical fluctuations.

This is the ultimate forbidden spell combination matrix, enough to annihilate anything that stands in its path.

The elder suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and took a step forward.

All the magic suddenly ceased.

At the same time, the magic crystal behind Li Daoxian also froze. The originally bright magic crystal suddenly shattered, and the magic power dissipated.

The elder stood with his hands behind his back, his thin body exuding boundless power. His empty eyes looked at Li Daoxian: "I have said it before, truth is not bound by laws."

"If you answer my questions now, I will grant your wish."

"This is your last chance. You were once a member of the Li family and have exceptional talent, which is why you have given me the patience to be patient. You'd better not let my patience run out."

Li Daoxian did not answer, but narrowed his eyes, the scene from just now still replaying in his mind.

The moment the elder stood up, all control of his magic was taken away, and the spells he was about to cast were countered and rendered ineffective.

This is precisely why the situation suddenly came to a standstill.

It's understandable that the spell might fail, but how can someone deprive themselves of the right to use their own magic?
To seize control silently before one notices anything amiss, one must be several levels above oneself, relying solely on one's mental strength and magical control.

If they truly possess such strength, why are they keeping such a low profile?

What is he afraid of?
The timing of the other person getting up was a bit abrupt. If it were me, wouldn't it have been a better choice to maintain the same posture and continue to apply psychological pressure?
Is the opponent's ability time-limited or...?

Li Daoxian recalled the events, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

I see……

"A wish?" Li Daoxian chuckled. "You know what my wish is? Yet you dare to spout such nonsense that you can make it come true. On what basis? Just because you're bluffing?"

“I don’t like the way you are. If you want me to submit, then show me your strength and let me know what a true wizard is like.”

The elder's eyes were cold and sinister, like those of a venomous snake: "Very well, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

He took a deep breath, and then his body suddenly swelled up.

His originally thin frame, with its muscles twitching, eventually became well-proportioned and robust.

The sparse white hair on his head has now grown back, turning from white to black and casually draped over his shoulders.

His old face, as white as an orange peel, now had red lips, white teeth, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes, making him exceptionally handsome.

His originally sinister expression now became sinister and extremely charming.

"It seems I have no choice but to knock you to the ground first before you'll understand the difference between us."

His arrogance was unmistakable.

This scene clearly shows that the Grand Elder was a lawless and arrogant man in his youth.

Li Daoxian remained silent.

He had no intention of wasting the cutscenes during the time it took for the other character to appear.

The 10 magic crystals behind him flashed and healed, simultaneously bursting forth with a dazzling halo before dimming instantly.

A dark green and a grayish-brown spell were simultaneously unleashed, their aftershocks enveloping Li Daoxian.

All matter within his surroundings disintegrated and vanished into nothingness.

The next moment, Li Daoxian flicked his finger.

Dark green and gray magic intertwined, swirling and bursting forward, aimed directly at the Grand Elder.

A hint of disdain flashed in the elder's eyes.

"You're so stubborn! I've already experienced your magic; it couldn't harm me in the slightest."

"No matter how many times you come, it will be the same. This is the difference in quality, and it is also your destiny."

"Of course I don't know what your wish is, but after today, your only wish can be to return to the truth."

The elder stretched out a hand, fingers spread, and reached out to grab the powerful magic spell.

"Now let me shatter your magic and make you realize the difference between us... Ah—"

The moment the elder's right hand touched the magic, his flesh instantly vaporized, revealing the dark bones inside.

The bones are covered with tiny spikes.

It's less like a skeleton and more like a plant vine.

The same vast ocean of death appeared once more, and the howls of the dead echoed in my ears.
But this time, the Grand Elder was not as composed as he had been the first time; his face was filled with terror.

All the flesh and blood on his body disintegrated, leaving only a mass of black bones, which were constantly melting, seeping out drops of blood that emitted a golden light.

"No, that's not how it is! How could this be?" the elder cried out in pain, his face filled with disbelief. "You couldn't have hurt me."

His surging aura was instantly diminished by a large portion.

Behind him, the roots that had been lying prostrate on the ground now revealed their ferocious faces, with sharp teeth appearing on them, like saws, directly lunging at the Grand Elder and enveloping him.

The sharp teeth pierced deeply into the elder's body.

In an instant, the Grand Elder was drained of all his strength and collapsed to the ground.

The breath is weak.

"No...this is impossible..."

Li Daoxian appeared before the Grand Elder like a ghost, looking down at him with his eyes lowered.

"nothing is impossible."

From the scattered fluctuations of the Grand Elder's soul, it was clear that he was also doubting himself: "Your talent and power come from the blood of a saint. As long as you have the blood of a saint in your body, you shouldn't be able to harm me..."

Li Daoxian's guess was confirmed. He stretched out his right hand, raised his fingertip, and condensed a ball of blood-red essence on his fingertip, with fine golden threads densely covering the essence.

Anyone who gazes upon this essence will feel a surge of desire to consume it, and it is almost certain that consuming it will bring great benefits.

The elder's empty eye sockets stared at the blood-red crystal.

His soul fluctuated wildly, even distorted by extreme terror: "How is this possible? You extracted the blood of a saint, but if you extracted it, why hasn't your strength decreased?"

"That's impossible! Your extraordinary inspiration and your talent for alchemy are signs of the blood of a saint returning and being nurtured."

Upon hearing this, many of Li Daoxian's doubts were resolved.

He sighed deeply, looked up at the ceiling, his gaze unfocused.

"I see. So-called gifts are just returning what is mine to me. Strictly speaking, helping to develop potential is indeed a kind of help."

"It's just a different skin."

There are no gifts in this world without a reason.

Every action has a purpose.

Strictly speaking, whether Li Daoxian develops the magic potion auxiliary system or plants the Revelation Tree in the strange world, it is essentially the same thing.

Li Daoxian also had his own thoughts and desires.

The so-called win-win situation means giving them what they need, and also getting what you need in return.

"So, what does it need?"

The elder looked at the person in front of him with some fear and muttered to himself.

"I...I don't understand what you're saying. If you have any questions, you can tell me. I know a lot of secrets, and I should be able to answer most of your questions."

The elder's words drew Li Daoxian's attention to the person in front of him.

"Yes, I almost forgot about you."

With a flick of his finger, he sent the crimson essence directly into the elder's mouth, giving the elder no chance to question it.

However, the Grand Elder himself did not have any intention of questioning it.

Right now, there's mostly elation.

This blood of the saint is exactly what he needs.

The entire piece of crimson essence melted in his mouth, releasing a delightful aroma.

Even though he is now just a skeleton, he can still feel every part of his body cheering and jumping for joy.

My own bloodline is improving.

He always felt that his strength level was recovering, and to him, this crimson essence was as sweet and delicious as cheese.

Within the clan, the combined essence of so many people is far less than one-thousandth, no, one-ten-thousandth, of this one mouthful!

The elder was certain that even after thousands of years, by extracting the essence and blood of the clansmen, it would be impossible to produce such quality. Once a certain level was reached, quantitative changes would hardly lead to such a qualitative change.

Thinking of this, the Grand Elder couldn't help but feel a little doubtful: "Could it be that letting them roam free is the right thing to do? We should have released some talented individuals long ago to let them grow freely. This way, their bloodlines would be nourished and nurtured, and they would regain their vitality, which would be far better than keeping them confined here?"

Just as he thought of this, the Grand Elder suddenly realized that this piece of crimson essence was a gift from someone else. If it were released and completely out of his control, it might have led to what happened today.

The descendants rise up against all odds.

But it's no use saying all this now.

Because he could feel the roots binding his body gradually tightening.

The elder pleaded repeatedly, "I'm still useful! I know many things. I am the remnant of the Wizard of Truth... You are the reincarnation of the Wizard of Truth, you need me..."

Amidst wails, the Grand Elder was rapidly compressed.

The Grand Elder's body melted like wax, merging into the Book of Revelation, and a wisp of his true spirit directly entered the Soul Stealing Scroll.

The Grand Elder's vast memories were compiled into a thick book.

All the information recorded in the book flowed into the Tree of Revelation, where it was rapidly understood and absorbed by the Peace Leader and the Perseverance Network, forming harmless information that was then read through little by little.

Li Daoxian then realized that the Grand Elder was not wrong after all; he had indeed been a Truth Wizard, but a more accurate description would be a bit of the Truth Wizard's emotions.

Of course, the name of this truth wizard did not appear in my memory, perhaps because of some secrets or taboos. In any case, I can only refer to him as the first person.

This truth wizard was also the most accomplished person in the Li family's history, who greatly expanded the bloodline compatibility of the Li family. Even after being diluted generation after generation, he was still able to maintain his superhuman talent and innate qualities.

This is also the origin of the blood of saints.

In my memory, the first member of the Li family, who had already advanced to the level of a Truth Wizard, underwent a drastic change in personality after his advancement. He should have stood at the top of the wizarding world, but instead became increasingly low-key and busy.

It was as if some great terror was chasing him from behind, leaving him almost no room to breathe; even from his memories, he could sense that suffocating feeling.

Most of the time, this wizard of truth had a furrowed brow.

He severed all ties with family, friends, and lovers, immersing himself entirely in his research.

Until finally, he was ready to confront that unspeakable terror.

Before he left, he gathered nine spiritual mountains and set up a magic array, with each ring interlocking with the next, using his own bloodline as a mark to signify his entry into the array.

On one hand, it was to give back to the family; on the other hand, it might also be to conceal the traces of their presence.

This is reflected in ancestral precepts:

[Unless absolutely necessary, do not leave your ancestral lands; this is especially true for domain wizards. Remember this well.]

Perhaps there is still a chance that the bloodline can be revived?

Li Daoxian secretly speculated.

Before leaving, this powerful being, in order to adjust his state, cut off his cowardly and hesitant thoughts.

The result was that it was gone forever.

The thought of cowardice, guided by blood ties, gradually traveled to the Li family, settled down, and began to solidify.

At first, it simply formed a spirit-like existence, and then it attached itself to a member of the clan, becoming a guiding old man who was always by their side.

Because the idea of ​​separation carried a large amount of memories, and it could itself be considered part of the Truth Wizard, possessing extremely high status and insight, it quickly possessed the chosen genius, solidified its physical form, and then began to collect the blood of saints to complete its own laws and domain.

Over time, he established a council of elders and became the eldest elder, making him the oldest member of the entire family.

The emergence of geniuses generation after generation is merely a medium for nurturing the blood of saints.

Nourished by a large amount of saintly blood, his strength recovered extremely quickly, and if we only consider combat power, he was at the peak of the domain.

However, if it comes to members of the Li family, coupled with the bloodline suppression, even a rule-based wizard would have no way to contend with them.

This is why none of Li Daoxian's spells could be targeted at the Grand Elder at the beginning: by using bloodline as a medium, he assimilated himself when the spell was about to strike, strengthening the concept of unity, thereby avoiding the opponent's constraints.

Significantly reduces the damage and impact of spells on him.

That's why things were so calm and peaceful at the beginning.

However, halfway through, the torrent created by Li Daoxian through the magic crystal was essentially close to the attack of a rule-based wizard, and it was a torrent of spells with extremely short intervals.

Even with blood ties as a guide, it's still a bit of a stretch to deal with it. It might be manageable for a short time, but if it goes on for too long, it's very easy for things to go wrong.

In order not to reveal his weakness, the Grand Elder had no choice but to get up and deal with the situation, as he needed to be closer to the enemy to better resonate with their blood and exchange authority.

That makes sense.

Li Daoxian was simply puzzled at the time, as the other party's decision-making and decisions were all too slow.

Looking back now, there are still quite a few flaws.

If the other party is truly far stronger than me, why bother talking to me? Wouldn't it be better to just take me down directly?
If Li Daoxian himself were in charge, he would make the same decision.

Cooperation is often based on strength. Only when the strengths of both parties are similar can cooperation proceed better.

If the difference in strength is too great, it would be better to be "one with you".

Therefore, the Grand Elder's immediate declaration of a desire for dialogue now appears to be a sign of cowardice.

As he perused the Grand Elder's memories, more and more questions from his own past experiences were answered.

The Grand Elder was in such a hurry because he had been driven to a dead end.

The most desperate thing for a wizard is when there is no road ahead, and the Grand Elder was facing just such a predicament.

Li Daoxian chuckled softly:
"After all, it's just a thought. Reaching the level of a Domain Wizard is already the limit. To go further and truly master the rules, it's not something that can be done with just a thought. He is limited by the corresponding rule path, and his own rule path is also subject to the existence of his physical body."

"The Grand Elder could vaguely sense that the original body was probably not dead, because the rules he mastered still existed and were still shining. However, his condition was probably not very good, because the rules had not been fully manifested."

"This has put the Grand Elder in a dilemma. If he wants to start over, he has to give up all his insights and knowledge and start from scratch. In that case, his advantages will no longer be advantages. Moreover, the risk is extremely high."

"But if this continues, as long as the original host doesn't die, he will never have any room to maneuver, because wizards are parasites of the rules. The rules are unique, and if the previous host doesn't die, the next host will never have a chance to rise."

Just then, I appeared.

Li Daoxian, who was originally expelled from his family, suddenly displayed amazing talent and is very likely to become a member of the classical alchemy school.

This gave the Grand Elder a reason to consider it.

If he were to possess Li Daoxian and change his appearance, he might be able to embark on the path of condensing rules again. Moreover, Li Daoxian's identity is not ordinary, and the Grand Elder believes that with his knowledge and learning, he will definitely be able to win the final championship.

If one joins the classical alchemy school as a result, one will be able to access more knowledge and rules, choose a new direction, and have a greater chance of becoming a domain wizard.

It's really a win-win situation.

Of course, due to his own reasons, the Grand Elder adhered to the ancestral teachings and dared not step out of the ancestral land of Mount Ling.

We can only send the younger generation.

Unexpectedly, after going out this time, the rule wizards actually stepped in to protect Li Daoxian. Moreover, it wasn't just one rule wizard; there were three in total who put pressure on him, demanding that he stop making some underhanded moves.

This forced the Grand Elder to change his plans, publicly ceasing his actions while secretly plotting to seize the body.

I thought that Li Daoxian would study and gain experience within the classical alchemy school in the coming period, and that there would always be opportunities.

However, he did not expect that Li Daoxian would not choose the path of peaceful study, but instead simply disappeared without a trace.

When he reappeared, he had become a domain wizard.

This speed also confirmed to the Grand Elder that what happened to Li Daoxian was not bloodline reshaping or ancestral regression, but most likely the reincarnation of the original body.

If you think about it this way, everything makes sense.

The original owner must have encountered something terrifying, forcing him to reincarnate and start anew, but he left a foreshadowing beforehand, which allowed Li Daoxian to awaken like a comet and rise upwards.

It is precisely because of reincarnation that the rules are still preserved, because the soul that occupies the rules still exists, only having forgotten some memories.

These speculations also gave the Grand Elder renewed hope, as if his seemingly closed path had taken a turn for the better.

If the original body's condition after reincarnation and rebirth is not good, then he can naturally take its place. He might even be able to absorb the arrangements left behind by the original body. At that time, it's hard to say who will be the original body and who will be the clone.

The idea is good, but it's a pity.

He had just sent out the beginning of a plan and was setting up the bait, but unexpectedly, the bait attracted a big fish.

The big fish swallowed him whole.

The Grand Elder had spent countless years preparing, secluded within Mount Ling, and finally reached the peak of the Domain Realm. He thought that with the bloodline connection and the domain he had honed, he could challenge anyone who didn't reach the level of a Rule Wizard.

But unexpectedly, when Li Daoxian unleashed his domain, the Grand Elder realized the reality.

The other party's talent is far superior to his own. In just a few decades, according to normal cultivation, it would only be one cultivation process, yet he has grown from an insignificant little wizard to what he is today. If he were to rely on his domain to fight head-on, he would surely die.

Li Daoxian's mastery of the field far surpasses that of himself. Since their fields share similar characteristics and directions, the other party will completely overshadow him.

This refers to the domain restraint relationship described in the Domain Compendium, where a higher-level domain has absolute suppressive power over a lower-level domain.

The elder's inherent cowardice and timidity prevailed.

He has given up on the idea of ​​replacing Li Daoxian and instead wants to negotiate with him. However, he is still unwilling to give up his initiative and chooses to rely on the information gap caused by blood ties to see if he can exert some pressure and add some leverage to the cooperation between the two sides in the future.

Unexpectedly, Li Daoxian didn't play by the rules at all.

Throughout the entire process, in order to ensure the accuracy of information, Li Daoxian only had one way of obtaining information: to completely control the other party's cognition and then collect the information himself.

Li Daoxian finished reading the last page and closed the book.

A thick book was directly incorporated into the Soul Stealing Scroll, becoming one of its pages.

Li Daoxian sighed softly, "Relying on the family's vampire vines, that's quite a fitting description."

"But you can't blame him for that, because he was stripped of his cowardly thoughts, which was his inherent disadvantage."

"Being prudent is not wrong, but if you are not prudent enough and make the wrong judgment at the wrong time, this will happen."

"If he remains steady and has no ulterior motives, and simply cooperates peacefully, I might unexpectedly gain an advantage, and he might also benefit. If he seeks to turn the tables, such a risky move requires the courage to gamble everything. During the initial assessment, I was at my weakest point when I first arrived in this world. If he had personally intervened, I might have already been possessed by now."

"At that time, my talent had not yet been fully displayed. Although my mentors valued me, they did not treat me like a personal disciple as they would later. With the Grand Elder's ability and methods, he might have been able to substitute one person for another."

"It's really dangerous."

"It's a pity that neither of them are relevant, so they are both at a disadvantage."

Li Daoxian looked up, lost in thought.

After obtaining the Grand Elder's authority and destiny, he held the Grand Elder's fate thread in his right hand.

In that instant, his will looked down upon the entire sacred mountain from high above, and all the threads of fate were gathered within it.

Lingshan is a self-contained area, isolating all destinies from it.

Within the sacred mountain, the threads of destiny intertwine and merge, deepening with the passage of time, forming a relationship where each is intertwined with the other.

At this moment, the members of Lingshan and the Li family can be regarded as a whole.

Anyone who wants to enter this area will not be considered an outsider; the mountain, the tree, even a blade of grass will be viewed with hostility and hostility because of the connection of fate.

Within this region, the absolute truth is that "this world will not be perceived."

Those who enter this place will fall into a deep state of blindness, and may not even know how they died until their death.

Unfortunately, as the Grand Elder extracted the blood of the saint, the balance was disrupted. In addition, clansmen often went out to collect resources on orders, which led to a partial loss of the secrecy of the truth.

Truth remains truth, but within this space, the degree to which the bloodline of the Li clan is required to achieve the vision created by truth is constantly declining.

In short, the interpretation of truth was deliberately obscured by the Grand Elder without any maintenance.

This also makes it convenient for the Grand Elder to carry out his own actions, make his own plans, and extract the blood of the saints without being detected as anything amiss.

But he never imagined that this would actually make things more convenient for Li Daoxian.

Otherwise, when one extracts their essence and blood, they will be bound and targeted by the truth.

"What a coincidence..."

Li Daoxian said softly, "Digging my own grave to pave the way for me. If I could see myself, I'm afraid my fortune is gathering here, lifting me forward."

"You can't even stop if you want to."

"The Grand Elder went to great lengths to collect the blood of the saints, which actually saved me a lot of trouble. As for the remaining people, their blood volume is too low, so be it."

Li Daoxian walked out of the room.

Li Santong and Li Sanshun bowed respectfully to him.

Li Daoxian said, "From now on, one of you will be the group leader and the other the elder. If you are willing to stay in the ancestral land, then you can live and multiply here. After three years, you can leave or stay as you see fit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daoxian's figure began to twist and disappear from the spot.

Li Santong and Li Sanshun seemed to wake from a dream. They looked at each other, their previous memories clear, and were immediately filled with fear.

Li Santong sighed, "It's so good to be alive."

Li Sanshun frowned and said, "The Grand Elder's aura has disappeared. As expected, Li Daoxian is a vengeful person."

Li Santong glanced at him, pulled out a gourd of wine from somewhere, took a sip, and said slowly, "That's not entirely true. If he were truly so vengeful, how could we have survived?"

"Maybe he's still thinking about the past; I even held him when he was little."

"..."

Li Santong and Li Sanshun couldn't understand it, but the power they gained over Lingshan after Li Daoxian's appointment was real.

One of them is the clan leader, and the other is the Grand Elder. They each control half of the authority of Mount Ling. They can easily see the barrier of the entire Mount Ling and the intertwined destinies of the living beings within it.

It can also be seen that the entire Lingshan Mountain range is a cage built for self-preservation.

They had no idea what lay outside the cage.

But without a doubt, it must be to guard against something terrible that they made such a self-imposed constraint.

Moreover, in his memory, after Li Daoxian spoke with the Grand Elder, he left in a hurry, as if he was urgently searching for some answer.

Furthermore, ancestral precepts explicitly state that one should not go out.

Taking all these factors into account, the choices they actually have are not many.

Li Santong paused for a moment and said, "Looking on the bright side, at least your wish has come true. Now you don't need to wait for seniority; you've become the Grand Elder directly."

Li Sanshun nodded, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "And what about you?"

"Are you leaving here?"

Li Santong tapped his temple: "Li Daoxian left this bloodline condensation technique in our minds, wasn't it precisely to force us to make a choice?"

"Choose to leave, embrace freedom, and leave behind the blood of the saint within you."

"Choose to stay, accept the constraints, and absorb the holy blood of those who leave. One day, the accumulated holy blood will shape some geniuses who may have the opportunity to discover the truth and truly lead us away from here."

Neither of them spoke; they pushed open the window of the Grand Elder's room.

The room, which was originally gloomy, was now bright and clear thanks to the light coming in from the window, completely changing the gloomy and oppressive feeling it had when the Grand Elder was there.

From here, you can overlook the entire territory; the scenery is superb.

"Three years is a long time. Although I don't know what will happen, we can prepare as early as possible."

"Li Daoxian is actually a decent guy."

……

Abisowall

Snake Zone.

In the very center of the area stands a towering building, its architecture a blend of green and silver that gleams in the sunlight.

This is the headquarters of the Snake Eyes Society.

After the expansion, this place has become a true center.

This place possesses the most advanced potion and human transmutation techniques, and its research on souls and forbidden arts is second to none.

There are fewer restrictions in Abisowall, so technology develops extremely rapidly.

Because of Li Daoxian's connections, a cooperative relationship was also established between this place and Santa Maria Minerva Hospital, sharing a range of medical resources and undertaking a large part of the outsourced medical testing.

Several top-notch research labs have been established here.

One of the rooms was assigned to the Grand Master and Fernando.

The two of them rarely carry out missions now. They have accumulated enough resources, obtained the lake reflection, and gained the domain experience that Li Daoxian taught them.

Therefore, the two of them successively completed the formation of their respective fields.

After consolidating their domains, they would dedicate some time to going out on missions, accumulating inspiration, and experiencing different magic systems.

But more often than not, if it happens to be their turn to use the equipment, they will choose to spend it in the laboratory, exploring their future direction.

As a standard feature in these laboratories, the revelation tree helps them screen the future, thereby determining which areas have more potential and which are clearly wrong directions.
This saved a lot of time.

Today, while the Great Flow Master and the Great Killer Master were in the laboratory trying to input information for simulation, a visit request notification suddenly came from outside the room.

Fernando, without even looking up, said, "Great Lord, go and see who's outside?"

The main figure succinctly stated: "Busy."

Fernando: "I'm truly impressed."

He adjusted the parameters of the rune tree cultivation in his hand, slowed down the reaction phase, and then stopped what he was doing and went to the door.

When he saw the name of the visitor, his eyes widened: "Li Daoxian, what brings him here?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Flow Master also raised his head and looked in this direction.

Fernando quickly opened the door.

Li Daoxian was a benefactor to both of them, so they naturally wouldn't neglect him, especially now that Li Daoxian's power and ability were increasing day by day, to a degree that they couldn't comprehend.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Long time no see." Li Daoxian nodded in response. He slowly walked in, his gaze sweeping over Fernando. "A very interesting field. It seems you've found your direction."

When this topic was brought up, Fernando's smile broadened: "Of course, I'm a genius too."

"But why did you suddenly decide to come here today and send a clone over? Did you run into some trouble? If you find it difficult, we're afraid we won't be able to help."

Fernando was very sensitive to runes, and although the rune fluctuations on Li Daoxian's body were subtle, he clearly noticed them.

Li Daoxian smiled upon hearing this: "You're still as afraid of trouble as ever."

"I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

The Grand Master had already approached and said, "Listen to the bad news first."

"The bad news is that I have a project with extremely high risk and an unpredictable level of danger, and I have no choice but to involve you."

Fernando and Da Liuzhu both laughed at the same time, but their smiles differed. Fernando's was a wide, gleaming smile, revealing his white teeth, while Da Liuzhu's was a shallow, gentle smile.

Finally, Fernando spoke first: "What bad news is this? High risk, high reward. When has our Emerald Thieves ever done anything safe? Oh, right, the Emerald Thieves no longer exists."

"However, the last leader is right in front of me now, and he's going to lead us on a new adventure. Can you refuse, Great Lord?"

“No.” The Great Lord said without hesitation, “Tell me the good news.”

"The good news is that you are the core of the whole plan, but your current strength is too low, so I will give you some help so that your strength can reach the standard as soon as possible."
