Chapter 116: Chapter 114: Senior, Patriarch, If Only Life Were Like Our First Meeting

[Before the voice had faded, a large tree around suddenly rose, tightly binding the White Snake.

The White Snake struggled desperately, but could not break free no matter what, and cried out in horror, "Who are you?!"]

[Li Yanzhi leisurely walked to the hundred-meter-long White Snake, curiously looked up and down, and asked suspiciously, "They say you are a Great Demon?"]

[The vertical pupils of the White Snake slightly widened and suddenly opened fiercely, seemingly wanting to bite.

"So fierce?" Li Yanzhi gently shook his head, a thought turned in his mind, a golden light appeared out of nowhere, instantly decapitating the White Snake. Blood splattered, and the snake’s head rolled to the ground.]

[As he stepped into the Stone Spring Mountain Range, the Spiritual Qi was extremely rich, his Lifebound Techniques which could only manifest a yard of golden light in the mundane world, could extend to ten yards here, with astonishing power.]

["Just died like that?!"]

["You, you are that senior?" The middle-aged cultivator stared dumbfounded at the young Li Yanzhi, stunned on the spot.]

[You must know, that was a Golden Core Great Demon, exceptionally powerful, enough to contend with three cultivators of the same Golden Core Stage. Unless one was a Nascent Soul Stage expert, who could subdue it?

Right...did he just call that ’old monster’ a little friend?]

[I’m going to die! I’m going to die! The face of the middle-aged cultivator Han Xiaofei turned instantly pale.]

[Li Yanzhi slowly turned around, his gaze gently falling on the middle-aged cultivator, softly asked, "Daoist friend, do you know the way to Shuiyun Sect?"]

[The middle-aged cultivator Han Xiaofei’s heart suddenly trembled, promptly bowed respectfully, his voice tinged with fear, "Senior, you overpraise me, this junior is Han Xiaofei, Senior can just call me Xiaofei."

The middle-aged cultivator bowed again, cautiously said, "Shuiyun Sect, I haven’t heard of it, need to return to Red Maple Valley to inquire, would Senior wait for a while?"]

[Seeing his nervous expression, as if afraid that the slightest neglect would bring disaster, Li Yanzhi couldn’t help but smile wryly: "No need to panic, stand up, I only want to ask for directions."]

["Senior, rites must not be neglected." Han Xiaofei raised his head, his expression filled with respectful awe.

He murmured inwardly: You aged monsters are most capricious, you just decapitated that Golden Core Great Demon for a disagreement, if I say a wrong word, I wouldn’t even know how to spell the word death.]

[At this moment, those cultivators fleeing from Red Maple Valley noticed the bound White Snake, gathered around. They witnessed a young man casting the Golden Light Technique, easily slaying that fierce Golden Core Great Demon. Everyone’s eyes were full of shock.]

[You should know, the three elders of Red Maple Valley couldn’t defeat this Great Demon, yet it fell so easily at the hands of that young man. What realm has this young man’s cultivation reached? Nascent Soul? Divinity Transformation?!]

[Someone furrowed his brow, immediately knelt on the ground, shouting, "Patriarch for all eternity, with boundless magical power, eternal fairy blessings, as immortal as heaven!"]

[Hearing this, the cultivators behind him brightened their eyes, each imitating and shouting, "Patriarch!"]

[Li Yanzhi looked down at the vast crowd of kneeling cultivators before him, couldn’t help but be stunned, he only asked for directions, why did it feel like he was donning a ’yellow robe’?]

[Li Yanzhi did not respond, but looked at Han Xiaofei, saying: "Let’s go."]

[Han Xiaofei quickly stepped forward, whispered a reminder: "Patriarch, the corpse of that Golden Core Great Demon is very valuable, do you want to..."]

[Li Yanzhi was slightly stunned after hearing this: "Are you sure it’s the Golden Core Realm? Not Foundation Establishment?"]

[Han Xiaofei’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling slightly offended, "Patriarch, Xiaofei is only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."]

[Li Yanzhi roughly knew what level of cultivator his ’Refining Essence and Transforming Qi’ was at, he instructed: "Go take care of that Golden Core Great Demon’s corpse."]

["Patriarch, wait a moment! Let me do it!" Hearing this, the cultivators rushed over to dismember the White Snake, collected it into a Storage Pouch, approached with a smile, and handed it to Han Xiaofei.]

[They just wanted to appear more in front of the Patriarch.]

[Subsequently, amidst the crowd of cultivators, Li Yanzhi returned to Red Maple Valley. Han Xiaofei searched through the sect’s archives, ’Shuiyun Sect’ was very mysterious. There was a brief record, it was a sect in the ’Li Sea’, they came through an Ancient Teleportation Gate, Red Maple Valley doesn’t know the location of ’Li Sea’.]

[Han Xiaofei was elected as the new Sect Leader, he promised to find Shuiyun Sect as soon as possible.]

[Li Yanzhi thought for a moment, then stayed in Red Maple Valley to continue cultivation and learn more about this Cultivation World.]

[From then on, Red Maple Valley had a new patriarch, said to be a "Late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator"!]

[Over one hundred years, Li Yanzhi swallowed various Spirit Pills, his magical power matching his Dao practice, Red Maple Valley had not found the news of ’Shuiyun Sect’.]

[At this time, the patriarchs of the Illusion Spirit Sect and Celestial Spirit Sect came to seek advice, Li Yanzhi accidentally killed one on the spot.]

[The other patriarch was incredibly shocked, prostrated and worshiped, and the Three Sects formed a new sect "Yunwu Mountain", Han Xiaofei successfully formed a Golden Core, and finally found the Ancient Teleportation Gate related to the Shuiyun Sect in the Li Sea.]

[Han Xiaofei took Li Yanzhi there.]

[Unfortunately, at that time a Foundation Establishment family was chasing a Qi Cultivator, causing the Qi Cultivator to mistakenly enter the ruins, escape through the Teleportation Gate.]

[Han Xiaofei discovered that the Ancient Teleportation Gate was also destroyed, he was completely stunned, not knowing how to report to the Patriarch. Yet Li Yanzhi merely sighed softly, then returned to "Yunwu Mountain" for cultivation.]

[The next year, a Nascent Soul Great Demon and three Golden Core Great Demons initiated a beast tide in the Stone Spring Mountain Range, Li Yanzhi single-handedly killed the Nascent Soul Great Demon, the rest of the Demon Race mostly surrendered.]

[Another hundred years passed, "Yunwu Mountain" had become a super sect with seven Nascent Soul experts and over a hundred Golden Core cultivators.]

[Sect Leader Han Xiaofei dispatched several squads composed of Golden Core cultivators to explore in four directions, searching for news about ’Li Sea’.]

[However, a hundred years passed quickly, and there was still no news of Li Sea, but began bordering two other super sects. These two sects also had rich foundations, each with a peerless Divinity Transformation Stage expert.

After a fierce confronation, the three sides were evenly matched, finding it hard to determine the superior, they decided to join forces.]

[From then on, Yunwu Mountain, Lingxiao Pavilion, and Celestial Master Sect became the three great heads of the Righteous Dao, they repeatedly worked together to shatter the once arrogant Thirteen Demon Sects, causing demonic cultivators to barely catch their breath.]

[The boy’s sword, the middle-aged man’s talisman, the old man’s lightning, were invincible in the world, each having killed a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator from the Demon Dao, revered by all cultivators as the Divine Monarchs.]

[A thousand years passed quietly, Li Yanzhi’s obsession with finding "Shuiyun Sect" had long been worn down by the wind and frost of time, that person may have long since died.]

[Han Xiaofei brought an elderly woman with a kind face to visit, claiming to be an old friend.]

[The elderly woman’s gentle gaze fell on the still youthful, charming Li Yanzhi, tears involuntarily streaming down her cheeks, her voice trembling: "I’ve finally...come home."]

[Upon hearing this, Li Yanzhi’s gaze froze suddenly, recognizing the true identity of this elderly woman, "Qin’Er?"]
