Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 770 - Planting the seeds of Dao today
Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Planting the seeds of Dao today, I hope you stay true to your original aspirations. [40th update] Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Planting the seeds of Dao today, I hope you stay true to your original aspirations. [40th update] He became calm, no longer seeking the pinnacle of realms.
The changes in his thoughts stopped him from blindly cultivating. The legends he left in the martial world during his youth faded like passing clouds and smoke.
One day, sitting by a stream idly watching the scenery, he suddenly gained enlightenment. He stood up, laughed heartily toward the sky with a carefree smile, yet there was a hint of newfound ambition.
The Divine Refining Realm was smoothly breached under such dramatic circumstances.
His aged physique, nourished by spiritual power, rejuvenated. It was as if he had returned to those proud and vigorous years.
The breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm was as natural as the upward path of an ascending dragon.
Cultivation is like sailing against the current, fail to advance and you will fall back.
...
Reaching a certain height in cultivation level will trigger heavenly might, a test by the Heavenly Dao on cultivators continuously strengthening themselves.
Withstand the test, and the cultivation level will undergo a qualitative change.
There are three types of Heavenly Tribulations: the Forty-nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, the Sixty-nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and the Ninety-nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.
The severity of the Heavenly Tribulation is unpredictable, seemingly all down to luck. However, the stronger the tribulation, the broader the path ahead for the cultivator who endures it. But likewise, be it the Sixty-nine or the Ninety-nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, overcoming it is no easy task.
The Forty-nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.
Li Yuan faced the Forty-nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.
Heavenly thunder roared down, but Li Yuan couldn’t even withstand the first thunderbolt, and was struck deep into the ground by the destructive power of the thunder, his life force utterly extinguished.
…
“Huff~”
Li Xiaoyao took a long breath, Li Yuan’s life was a legendary paradigm, truly worthy of being the founder of the Li Family.
However, Li Xiaoyao wasn’t particularly moved. His understanding of the Dao wasn’t necessarily inferior to Li Yuan’s, and if he were to try to stimulate himself in the same manner, it would still be difficult.
The remnant soul of Li Yuan came before Li Xiaoyao and lightly touched his forehead, planting a green seed that seemed to take root within his body.
“I plant the seed of the Dao today, hoping you will stay true to your original aspiration.”
Li Xiaoyao’s consciousness began to fade, with only this inexplicable voice echoing in his ears.
Something seemed to be taking root and sprouting inside his body, quickly growing into a lush, towering tree.
With his eyes closed and sitting cross-legged, Li Xiaoyao’s body emitted bursts of astonishing energy.
…
Li Chengfeng was suddenly surprised to receive an invitation from the Ancient Li Family.
The two Li families had little interaction over the years, yet today an invitation was sent out of the blue, clearly stating that the Ancient Li Family would hold the Li Family Successor Ceremony in a week’s time.
“The Li Family Successor Ceremony?” Li Yiming shook his head with some confusion and asked, “What’s this about? What is this Li Family Successor Ceremony?”
Li Chengfeng looked at the invitation on the table and said, “I remember, every hundred years or so, the Li Family will recognize a predestined successor. This person is bound to be the one with the highest cultivation talent and the strongest future potential of that generation in the Li Family.”
“Chengfeng is right,” Li Pingshuang tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said, “Every generation’s Li Family successor almost invariably reaches the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.”
“The Tribulation Transcendence Realm!”
Li Yiming inhaled sharply. Information about the Ancient Li Family’s successors was extremely secretive, known to very few.
“It’s just a pity,” Li Ping shook his head and said, “that none have managed to transcend the tribulation and verify the Dao. Heavenly might is unpredictable, and the tribulation is difficult to overcome!”
Li Chengfeng put away the invitation and said, “It is said that Xiaoyao has already entered the Li Family’s forbidden ground, and in seven days, he should also come out, when the Li Family heir ceremony is over, we will return together.”

Speaking of Li Xiaoyao, everyone’s faces showed a relieved smile.
Li Xiaoyao was definitely the most talented individual in the Xuan Country Li Family in nearly a hundred years, even surpassing the genius Li Changfeng from a hundred years ago by more than a little.
The chosen ones to go to the Ancient Li Family were Li Chengfeng and Li Yiming.
Li Pingshuang stayed back to guard the Li Family, after all, it hadn’t been long since the Hui Country Secret Realm matters had concluded, and if everyone left at this time, no one could be sure whether other sects might come to challenge them.
Nowadays, the Xuan Country Li Family was probably the strongest sect outside of the Ancient Sects, as long as it wasn’t an Ancient Sect causing trouble, the Li Family feared no one.
“Thud thud thud!”
“Come in.”
A clan member pushed the door open and entered, respectfully saying, “Patriarch, some people from the Xuan Country military have come to visit.”
“People from the Xuan Country military?” Li Chengfeng and the others exchanged glances, silently wondering why the military would come without cause; they seldom interacted with the military. Could it be related to Ling Tian?
But, hadn’t the matter of Ling Tian come to an end already?
“Ask them to wait in the side hall, I will come soon.”
After the clan member left, Li Pingshuang said, “The military’s visit must have a reason; in my opinion, it’s likely related to Xiaoyao.”
Li Chengfeng nodded his head and said, “Let’s go and see what they want first. If it’s an official visit, it shouldn’t be too serious. If it’s a personal vendetta, they came today, they need not leave.”
The last sentence was tinged with a lethal intent.
Side Hall.
The visitors were a young man and woman, both not much older, dressed properly, and carried an unmistakable iron-blooded military aura that ordinary people couldn’t imitate.
Li Chengfeng strode into the side hall, a faint smile on his face, but a hint of severity mixed within his seemingly gentle gaze.
“Patriarch Li,” the man and woman stood up, greeting him with a handshake.
Li Chengfeng got straight to the point and asked, “Which department are you two from?”
“We are from the Xuan Country Number One Department.” The visitors were Lu Ting and Wang Xiaorou from the Number One Department, who were here on orders to deliver an invitation today.
“Number One Department?” Li Chengfeng was visibly startled.
Ordinary people might not know about the Number One Department, but Li Chengfeng was aware of its origins and its special status in Xuan Country.
Xuan Country’s Supervisor Department of Logistics.
Just with this simple introduction, the exalted status of the Number One Department in Xuan Country was evident.
Amidst his surprise, Li Chengfeng felt puzzled, but he did not show it and asked as usual, “How should I address you?”
“Special Operations Division Chief Lu Ting from the Number One Department.”
“Special Operations Division Chief Wang Xiaorou from the Number One Department.”
“So, it’s Division Chief Lu and Division Chief Wang, please have a seat.” After understanding their identities, Li Chengfeng’s enthusiasm increased appropriately; it was just right and didn’t come across as insincere, all very natural.
“Tea, please.” Li Chengfeng turned and called out to the clan member, and immediately someone served hot tea.
“There’s no need to be so polite, Patriarch Li,” the two said with a light smile. As members of the Xuan Country Number One Department, they had met many powerful cultivators; some were arrogant, while others were enthusiastic.
Li Chengfeng smiled faintly, lifted the teacup, and blew on it, then asked nonchalantly, “What brings you two here today? If I’m not mistaken, the Number One Department only interacts with the Xuan Country Supervisors, right? However, my Li Family hasn’t produced a Supervisor for many years.”
