The one who truly disrupted the order of the heavens and stirred up chaos and conflict was never David, but Si Lu and Xuan Qiu, who had long held sway over the heavens, oppressed the heavens, and were selfish and self-serving!
For ten thousand years, the Lingxi family has remained neutral, upheld justice, and nurtured all the heavens and benefited all races. They have never initiated conflicts or oppressed the weak.
This act of protecting David is simply an act of kindness towards the innocent, a refusal to align with tyranny, an unwillingness to follow evil, and a commitment to one’s principles.
What is breaking an agreement?
What is treason?
The true betrayers of the covenant and the scourge upon the heavens are the warlike and domineering Sili family!
A single document, well-reasoned and supported by irrefutable evidence, instantly ignited public opinion across the land.
The various forces that had been misled by Si Lu’s proclamation instantly realized the truth and saw through the hypocrisy of the Si Lu family.
Countless small and medium-sized forces that have been oppressed and plundered by the judiciary for many years have spoken out in agreement, denouncing the judiciary’s hegemonic and evil deeds over the past millennia.
In an instant, the Si Lu family’s reputation was ruined, its public image collapsed, and it lost all popular support. From a high-ranking guardian of order, it became a hegemonic cancer despised by all the heavens.
The Lingxi family, on the contrary, rose to become a righteous force that upheld justice, refused to flatter the powerful, and cared for all living beings, winning the favor and support of countless weak forces across the heavens.
The two sides confronted each other from afar, tearing each other apart with their opinions and clashing with each other’s manifestos, creating a great uproar that was known to all.
But no one actually sent troops or rashly started a war.
The Silu family is short of soldiers and generals and has suffered heavy losses. They dare not send troops to attack Ling alone, for fear of losing more than they gain and being completely wiped out.
The major neutral families watched coldly, refusing to take sides, and none of them were willing to serve the declining Silu.
The Lingxi family followed David’s instructions, remaining patient and dormant, avoiding challenges, consolidating their territory, and honing their foundation. They would never initiate a war and would instead focus on accumulating strength and building up their power.
The entire twenty-five heavens thus fell into a strange standoff.
Public opinion was swirling and undercurrents were surging, but on the surface, everything was calm and there was no sign of war.
This brief period of peace and stalemate provided David with an excellent opportunity to cultivate, consolidate his skills, and break through to a higher level.
In the secluded courtyard of Lingxi Main City.
The courtyard was surrounded by layers of isolation barriers and spirit-gathering arrays, isolating it from all outside noise and prying eyes. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of alchemy within a hundred miles all gathered here, so dense that they almost condensed into liquid spiritual mist, enveloping the entire courtyard.
David sat upright on a blue stone futon in the center of the courtyard, his eyes closed, his mind calm and his breath restrained, his Daoist aura flowing smoothly around him, entering a state of deep seclusion and arduous cultivation.
After subduing the Lingxi family, obtaining a complete set of top-tier alchemy resources, learning the “All Heavens Purifying Pill Heart Method,” and reshaping the Lingxi alchemy system, he clearly perceived the huge shortcomings in his own foundation.
Previously, he had fought his way up through countless battles and rapid advancements, which led to a rapid increase in his cultivation level. However, this also resulted in a somewhat unstable foundation, mixed spiritual energy, and an unstable Dao foundation. Although his combat power seemed to be heaven-defying, there was still a great deal of room for improvement and refinement.
Now, with endless spiritual herbs, perfect top-grade elixirs, and pure alchemical origins throughout the entire Lingxi Realm, along with a stable and undisturbed environment for seclusion, it is the perfect time for him to hone his foundation, refine his spiritual power, and break through to a higher realm.
Jiang Xuelan and Ling Xiyue stood guard on both sides of the courtyard, quietly protecting the Dharma and never leaving its side, preventing any outsiders from disturbing it.
With Canfeng and the cripple guarding the outer courtyard, and all the secret guards hidden in the void to keep watch, the entire courtyard was completely sealed off and extremely safe.
With a wave of his hand, countless perfectly crafted, gilded elixirs floated around David, their medicinal power slowly seeping into his body through his meridians.
These pills are all supreme treasures newly refined by Lingxi Pill Workshop after he personally improved the pill-making method and reshaped the Dao patterns of the pill furnace. They are free of any impurities or toxicity.
The medicine is pure, mellow, and full of essence, perfectly suited for the foundation building and realm breakthrough of cultivators at the Great Luo realm.
In the past, the pills of the Lingxi family accumulated toxins and hindered cultivation. Now, the new Perfect Spirit Pill can cleanse the meridians of impurities, stabilize the foundation of the Dao, nourish the soul and spiritual sea, and help break through realms. The two are worlds apart and cannot be compared.
The pure medicinal power seeped into his limbs, bones, meridians, and dantian, washing away the subtle, hidden injuries left by past battles and polishing his somewhat restless cultivation foundation.
The originally mixed spiritual energy was purified, refined, and solidified layer by layer, becoming increasingly profound, pure, and refined, and the Dao foundation patterns were continuously improved, completed, and sublimated.
