[Your descendants, the couple Li Xinghuo and Zishu Wandong, have undertaken a mission.
Following the family's orders, they have begun to visit the sects and families on the invaders' list to demand explanations.]
[At the Eternal Immortal Sect, they returned the captive, Han Ju, who was riddled with death qi.
Sect Master Duanmu Qi, having prepared in advance, presented a grand gift under the guise of congratulating the Fire Ancestor Li Yaotie on his breakthrough.
In passing, he trapped Han Ju—who had already been corroded by death qi and nether qi—inside the sect's treasure, the 'Amber Heavenly Stone', utilizing his Void Refining method to aid the disciples' cultivation.]
[Heading to the Gao Immortal Clan in Shanming Prefecture, Patriarch Gao Qiangsheng spoke vaguely and evasively, merely offering apologetic smiles.
Your descendant Li Xinghuo, never one to waste words, slapped Gao Qiangsheng across the face and conveniently demanded a massive amount of natural treasures and spirit stones from him.]
[In Grandhaven City, while seeking Banshu Ao's sect, the Sect Master deceived the Li Xinghuo couple into waiting and secretly reported them to the Department of Immortal Suppression.
The next day, your descendant Li Xinghuo arrived alongside a Commander of the Department of Immortal Suppression, the City Lord of Grandhaven City, and a high-ranking official from the Imperial Dynasty's Ministry of Personnel.
With a sinister grin, he asked: "How did the memorial you submitted end up in my spatial ring?" Profits doubled.]
[Your descendant Li Xinghuo has obtained the Traits: Violent Debt Collector, Top-Tier Enforcer]
[There is no debt that cannot be collected; if there is, use your fists. When on someone else's turf, martial power increases by 5%, and collection recovery rate increases by 5%.]
"It's a good thing we have the government, the Department of Immortal Suppression, and the Imperial Dynasty backing us.
I didn't expect Xinghuo to have learned such incredible skills after centuries of slaying demons in the Northern Frontier."
Li Wei nodded in gratification.
Seeing Xinghuo possessing such extraordinary talent and not being bullied outside put his mind at ease.
He decided that from now on, the task of settling external scores for the family would be handed over entirely to the Xinghuo couple. They were reliable.
The gratification in his heart was awakened by noises coming from within the Heavenly Fire Dao Field.
He saw the family's children all inside the Dao Field, ignoring the scorching aura, forging array formations in every direction.
Li Yaotie sat cross-legged in the very center, manipulating the Dao of Heavenly Fire.
When this kid was perfectly still, his massive physique, coupled with the sweat-drenched muscles on his half-naked body and his somewhat rugged face, made him look full of imposing majesty—a ruthless character at a single glance.
He showed absolutely none of that slappable, foolish clumsiness he displayed when he opened his eyes and shouted boisterously.
[Your descendant Li Yaotie devoured numerous Heavenly Fire rules originating from the Flaming Mountain, as well as the Heavenly Fire Divine Tree, breaking through to the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire!]
[Obtained Trait: Fire Ancestor]
[Monopolizing the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire, one of the most primordial Dao paths of the Five Elements in heaven and earth.
The flames of the world cannot invade his body.
Generation after generation of Fire Ancestors inherit the Fire Dao, and generation after generation of Fire Ancestors are inferior to others.]
"..."
Seeing the trait description, Li Wei was somewhat unconvinced.
Back then, dealing with Nirvana had taken an astronomical amount of effort.
However, thinking about it more carefully...
The Nirvana Sage Elder was besieged to death, the previous Fire Ancestor was killed while besieging Uncle Rain, and the one before that exhausted himself to death in battle... actually, it wasn't entirely without reason.
"No, my Little Tie is different!"
Li Wei glared.
Before his eyes was Li Yaotie's Dao Gate, a fiery red Dao Gate.
Even if one inherited another's Dao, it didn't mean they would follow the exact same Dao method or the exact same path.
Li Yaotie's Dao Gate was different from Li Wei's.
After inquiring a bit, Li Wei learned that Li Yaotie had used enough rules to push open the Dao Gate and glimpse the Dao. What followed was the phase of comprehension.
On his Dao path, what he saw were extremely scorching flames, highly offensive flames, and the molten lava used to forge Dharma Treasures in a furnace...
The most primordial Heavenly Fire encompassed all the characteristics of flames. Once he comprehended all of this, he would achieve Dao-Comprehending.
At the same time, Li Wei also saw the information pertaining to his Dao Domain.
It was just different from Li Wei's.
[Great Dao of Heavenly Fire]
[Dao Principle Comprehension: 1%]
[Comprehend the scorching heat, temperature, and lethality of Heavenly Fire... Along with comprehension, draw Heavenly Fire into the body to increase Dao principle progress.]
Li Wei raised an eyebrow.
"I really can see it. However, everyone's Dao path is different, so perhaps the mechanics are all different as well."
Looking closer, he saw his divine ability.
[Divine Ability (Primary): Nine Origins Heavenly Fire Divine Hammer]
[Progress: 12%]
[Cultivated bit by bit during the Void Refining realm from 'One Origin True Fire' to 'Nine Origins True Fire'. Gradually self-comprehended the 'Nine Origins Fire Hammer' during artifact forging.
After reaching Body Integration, battled Uncle Rain within the Dao Domain and fully comprehended it via the 'Golden Chapter of Enlightenment'.]
[True Fire carries the Dao method of artifact forging to form a divine ability, capable of both forging artifacts and slaying enemies.
When forging artifacts, it can extremely extract impurities from materials, increasing artifact forging success rate by 10%.]
Li Wei had also seen this hammer technique during the battle with Uncle Rain.
Once the divine ability was unleashed, the silhouette of forging materials would surface on the opponent's body; at that moment, in Li Yaotie's eyes, the opponent was just a piece of iron.
The divine ability would transform the hammer into a hundred-meter giant phantom hammer, wreathed in nine Heavenly Fire Divine Lotuses.
It was rough yet delicate, capable of heavily shattering the opponent's Dao method to a massive extent, even though... it didn't deal a single point of damage to Uncle Rain.
"But this doesn't mean Little Tie's combat power is weak." Li Wei grinned.
To be able to fight Uncle Rain for a year, aside from the 'Ancestral Spirit Array', Li Yaotie's true strength lay in himself—[Unorthodox Artifact Body]!
[Your descendant Li Yaotie broke through to Body Integration, swallowed the Tier-4 spiritual entity 'Heavenly Fire Divine Tree', and used the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire to smelt his own body, turning himself into a Spirit Puppet and a Spirit Treasure.]
[Obtained Trait: Fire Dao Treasure Body]
[Body Integration was merely an accident; Spirit Puppets and artifact forging are his true Dao path.
Using the Unorthodox Artifact Body as the foundation and the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire as the auxiliary, he tempers himself using the methods of a Spirit Puppet, deeply understanding the principle that the physical body suffers, while Spirit Treasures are truly divine.
His personal strength is determined by fusing his body with 'Natural Treasures' and refining himself into a Spirit Treasure.]
[Your descendant Li Yaotie is attempting to forge the family's first Spirit Treasure—]
[Himself.]
Li Wei looked at Li Yaotie. Ever since childhood, this kid had never known when to give up. He wouldn't turn back until he ran headfirst into a wall.
While others cultivating the Dao only focused on cultivating their methods, Little Tie was directly ahead of his time by an unknown number of years.
