From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 180: Ancient Soul Destroying Thunder Pearl

Li Quanqing looked at the turmoil reflected in the Fish Mirror, and was momentarily puzzled.

What big event could be happening within the clan?

While he was deep in thought, the Fish Mirror vibrated again; this time, it was a message sent directly by the Clan Leader.

"Quanqing, war is imminent, return to the clan immediately!"

War!

Li Quanqing instantly regained his clarity.

It must be the Situ Family that prompted such serious preparations from the Clan Leader.

Ever since the news broke out a year ago that the Situ Family Clan Leader was close to forming his Golden Core, rumors had gradually subsided, hinting at the calm before a storm.

Could it be that the Shuihua Sword Sect is preparing to make a move now?

His thoughts were jumbled as he waved his hand toward the sky: "Ao Qing, come down."

"Moo!"

The Green Horned Fish Dragon flapped its fins, emitting a roar like a bull’s bellow, its azure silhouette gliding down wrapped in green Demon Energy.

"I need to make a trip to Qingyu Island. You stay by Baoqing Pond and guard the house, understood?"

Li Quanqing spoke sternly.

"Moo~"

Ao Qing rubbed against his master’s sleeve, hurriedly nodding, indicating its understanding.

’When the war breaks out, I could bring Ao Qing to the battlefield since it is a Foundation Establishment Great Demon.’

Li Quanqing thought, this Second-stage Demon Beast needed to be kept in a high-grade Spiritual Beast Bag, and he only had one for the Dragon Flame Eagle.

This return to the clan was a good time to take another one from the treasure vault.

Moreover, Ao Qing’s intelligence was not low; perhaps he could try to teach it the Gui Water Divine Thunder?

Li Quanqing stroked his chin, suppressing his thoughts, and summoned the Dragon Flame Eagle.

"Scream!"

The Dragon Flame Eagle soared high, its wings wrapped in flames, soon carrying Li Quanqing away into the sky.

Ao Qing looked up, somewhat envious; it wanted to be close to its master too.

"Moo!"

The fish-dragon circled over the pond, giving an authoritative roar, summoning its fish descendants, warning them to spiritually cultivate diligently!

...

Green Jade Islands.

The Dragon Flame Eagle flew between the clouds, the Heavenly Vault was crystal clear, almost within reach.

Li Quanqing stretched out his Divine Sense; the Island Protection Array enveloping the entire clan’s territory activated immediately, allowing them successful entry over the islands.

"Ah, guests!"

Li Quanqing lightly raised his brows; his Divine Sense was now powerful, comparable to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Therefore, he vaguely detected three deep auras of Foundation Establishment Late Stage near the Ten Thousand Fish Pond.

Hmm, there was also one Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator, his aura fiery and emitting unstable fluctuations, undoubtedly Li Kunli.

He had begun his Foundation Establishment earlier than Li Quanqing, but was slower to break through to the Middle Stage, having only achieved it a few months ago.

After reaching the clan’s forbidden area, Li Quanqing retracted the Dragon Flame Eagle, choosing to fly low and swiftly descended as a beam of light outside the Ten Thousand Fish Pond.

Besides the Clan Leader, there was another unrestrained middle-aged cultivator carrying a Sword Box, the Sword Sect Elder, Duan Dongyang.

Standing behind Duan Dongyang was Li Quangeng, standing proudly with a Qi Refining Perfection cultivation, his aura sharp and on the verge of a breakthrough.

"Mr. Duan..."

Li Quanqing bowed his hands; seeing this Elder from the Sword Sect, he knew his guess was almost certainly correct.

The Situ Family was indeed in trouble.

"Good to see you, Daoist Quanqing. We haven’t met for a long time, but you still look impressive!"

Duan Dongyang laughed heartily, his demeanor as affable as ever, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

"Old friend Duan, let’s talk in the great hall!"

The Old Clan Chief said with a smile, leading everyone into the lake-side clan’s council hall, where maids served them Spiritual Tea after they settled.

There were too many secrets in the Ten Thousand Fish Pond, hidden and protected by the Guardian Clan Formation, naturally not for outsiders to see.

Li Quanqing sat down, white steam rising before him with the fragrance of the tea lingering, quietly listening.

"Fellow Daoists, I am usually straightforward, so let me cut to the chase this time."

Duan Dongyang toyed with his tea cup, his gaze sweeping over those present: "After years of covert investigation and evidence gathering, my Sword Sect has clarified that the Situ Family has colluded with the Demon Clan, betraying the Human Clan cultivators, and rightfully deserves extermination!"

The air went still for a moment; the four Li’s who were Foundation Establishment had anticipated this and exchanged glances without speaking.

"The Upper Sect commands, and us Green Jade Lis must comply."

Li Zongyao slowly spoke: "My Li Family, will contribute three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators to join the Sword Sect in punishing the traitors of the Human Clan."

"That’s too few."

Duan Dongyang shook his head: "There are two battlegrounds this war. Though the Situ Family has relocated to Whale Emperor Island, the Taiyuan Islands also have Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed for protection, requiring attacks on both fronts."

"The Sect’s directive is for your Li Family to send all four Foundation Establishments, along with one hundred sixty Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators, including no less than ten Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators."

Upon hearing this, the four were shocked; this was essentially all the high-level cultivators of the entire Green Jade Li Family.

"Impossible!"

Li Kunli, always hot-tempered, glared furiously: "With no one to guard the clan, how can we fight fiercely without worrying about the safety of our kin!"

Even during the past beast tides, each family would always leave a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator to guard home.

Duan Dongyang sighed slightly: "This is the Sect’s command, and I am helpless in the matter. This time, all Foundation Establishment families and powers must emerge in full force, ensuring not a single remnant of the Situ Family escapes!"

"Moreover, doesn’t your clan still have a Clan Guardian Spirit Beast? It should be sufficient to protect the Green Jade Islands."

Li Kunli hummed softly, about to say something when the Old Clan Chief suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

"If so... what will we receive after the war?"

Li Zongyao asked, reasoning that if the Li Family was to fully commit, they would need substantial compensation.

"One Foundation Establishment Pill, plus the Third Rank

"Initially, wasn’t the Foundation Establishment Pill taken away by the Situ Family? The Sect is willing to compensate and give it to Li Yumiao personally. After asking for his opinion, he voluntarily allowed Quangeng to consume it."

Duan Dongyang brought Li Quangeng forward and looked at the Old Clan Chief: "Moreover, the Sect also promises that if any Foundation Establishment cultivators fall on the battlefield, a corresponding Foundation Establishment Pill will be compensated to their family."

"Once Quangeng achieves Foundation Establishment, the Li Family will have five Great Cultivators, making them the foremost among many families, and rightfully occupying those Third Rank Spirit Veins."

As soon as the Foundation Establishment Pill was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

Even Li Kunli, feeling tempted, wanted to say something but was gently held back by Li Kunlun.

Li Quanqing still appeared unperturbed.

Now he has two Foundation Establishment spirit pets, a Silver Armored Puppet, and a Red Dragon Puppet in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Even if Li Quangeng truly achieves Foundation Establishment, it would hardly shake the interests of their faction, not to mention he is also a clan cultivator.

Li Zongyao looked at his great-grandson, and without much hesitation, naturally decided to agree to this proposal.

Li Quanqing and the other two did the same, after all, it concerns the Third Rank Spirit Veins, the foundation of a Golden Core Family; who wouldn’t be tempted?

"Wonderful, truly wonderful!"

Duan Dongyang, seeing this, immediately clapped his hands and laughed.

"The old man is frail and dislikes turbulence; I’ll accompany Elder Quanqing to the Taiyuan Islands."

Li Zongyao said, afraid that something might go wrong with his family’s Golden Core Seed, he opted for the relatively safer Taiyuan Island.

When the Situ Family relocated, everyone witnessed it, seeing the Clan Leader of the Situ Family personally leading the Mystic Turtle towards the Spirit Vein on Whale Emperor Island.

Taiyuan Island’s defensive forces are weaker, naturally, it’s safer.

"Great-grandfather..."

Yet, suddenly, Li Quangeng spoke up, somewhat discontented: "Grandson also wants to go to the battlefield to fight and earn Contribution Points for the Sect."

He clearly intended to persuade Li Zongyao to accompany him to Whale Emperor Island, where there were more enemies.

The Old Clan Chief hesitated for a moment, finally sighing deeply, he chose Whale Emperor Island.

Li Quanqing didn’t mind, he teamed up with Li Kunlun, and together they went to the battlefield on Taiyuan Island.

Duan Dongyang watched the Old Clan Chief and his disciple, his gaze flickering, eventually saying nothing.

Once the decision was made, it was time to convene the family elders.

For confidentiality reasons, the Old Clan Chief did not mention the name of the Situ Family.

He simply stated that a great battle was imminent, and these family elders were also not allowed to leave Qingyu Island.

However, many were astute and naturally guessed some of the reasons.

"Quanqing, this time we are...."

Li Quanmo, at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, soon to be Perfect, already a family elder, came over and spoke with an inquiry in his tone.

"You all just follow me, no need for further discussion, I myself will ensure the safety of our lineage."

Li Quanqing gave a look, similarly not saying too much.

Being a Supreme Elder, he naturally can leave the island at will; he then exchanged Contribution Points for a High Grade Spiritual Beast Bag from the family treasury, and drifted away.

At Baoqing Pond.

Ao Qing had just dived into the water when he was once against summoned by his master, his mood jubilant.

"This time you’re also coming out with me, no fooling around, got it?"

Li Quanqing, holding the Spiritual Beast Bag, put on a serious adult demeanor.

"Moo moo!"

Ao Qing nodded repeatedly, having long understood human speech.

It seemed to recall something, suddenly diving deep into the pond and then breaking the surface, pulling up a heap of crab demons.

These Spiritual Crabs resembled Copper-armored Crabs, but their legs were silvery-white, the progeny of Silver-armored Crabs.

Crack! Crack!

The Silver Claw Crabs waved their large claws, and their bronze-colored shells flashed with silver patterns, showing their teeth and claws in a menacing aura.

"All mature? Very good, very good!"

Li Quanqing looked at each Light Group, feeling extremely satisfied.

When Ao Qing broke through to Foundation Establishment, its Demon Energy dispersed, benefiting many Spiritual Beasts in the pond.

He gathered the Light Groups one by one into his Storage Bag; instantly, text flashed before his eyes.

[Harvested a Qi Refining Early Stage Silver Claw Crab, rewarded with 5 High Grade Silver Armored Charms!]

[Harvested a Qi Refining Early Stage Silver Claw Crab, rewarded with 4 High Grade Vajra Charms!]

[Harvested a Qi Refining Early Stage Silver Claw Crab, rewarded with 2 Top Grade Geng Metal Sword Charms!]

Inside the Storage Bag, Li Quanqing crushed all the Light Groups, not expecting them to all be metal-spiritual Talismans, stacking into a thick pile.

Silver Armored Charms could transform into a layer of silver armor for defense, capable of withstanding Qi Refining Late Stage Spell attacks, like a single-use Spirit Armor.

Vajra Charm could summon a Dharma Protector Vajra at Qi Refining Seventh Layer; the Top Grade Geng Metal Sword Charm could summon a Qi Refining Great Perfection Realm of Geng Metal Sword Qi.

These are all very powerful Talismans, which Li Quanqing himself naturally didn’t need, but he could let Li Quanmo give them to his Steward. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Together with a Copper Bean Puppet as a guardian, he felt utterly secure.

Without stopping, Li Quanqing hurried to Fish-Dragon Island and found two Spiritual Beasts that had broken through realms, issuing Light Group rewards.

[Harvested a Qi Refining Middle Stage Vine Wood Ape, rewarded with a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact Green Wood Bow!]

This little Vine Wood Ape, namely the one Yuan Douzhan inaugurated, now at the Middle Stage with Vine Armor, its body fur shimmering with golden light, was particularly imposing.

The Green Wood Bow was a small emerald-colored bow, capable of shooting wooden arrows that burst upon mana infusion, and could summon thick vines to attack enemies.

It’s considered an average Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, nothing surprising.

[Harvested a Qi Refining Late Stage Thunder Horn Python, rewarded with a Second Rank Ancient Soul Destroying Thunder Pearl!]

[Ancient Soul Destroying Thunder Pearl: A one-time use Spiritual Artifact, can unleash power equivalent to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm’s divine thunder, devastating and lethal to living beings!]

Under the Thunder Peach Tree, Li Quanqing, touching the brightly scaled, hissing Thunder Horn Python Queen, was utterly astonished by such a Spiritual Artifact existence.

The Light Group shattered and he held the purple-red Ancient Thunder Bead, a tiny pellet chock-full of terrifying power, a formidable Foundation Establishment killing weapon, immensely contained power.

"Is this a life-saving card especially given to me knowing I’m about to enter the battlefield?"

Li Quanqing, holding the Ancient Soul Destroying Thunder Pearl in his hand, couldn’t help but feel peculiar.

He took out a jade box very cautiously, placing the purple thunder bead engraved with red curse texts inside it, and added layers of seals, specially placing it in an individual Storage Bag.

This was power comparable to a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator—although it looked very stable, what if it suddenly exploded?

Better to be cautious!
