Chapter 640: Trait Acquired: Mobile Retirement Home


[Special Event—The God of War Returns Home]


[The Boss of Skynet has rescued the God of War. Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, has extended his life by one month. He has still decided to spend the final moments of his life returning to his homeland.]


The winter sun was warm.


The fierce warrior, his life now measured in days, sat aboard a Li family Dharma Treasure spirit ark.


Li Tianyue, who knew battlefields better than anyone, stood at the prow. Spending a vast amount of Spirit Stones, she personally escorted the God of War towards the battlefields of Duskwild Prefecture.


The faces of the Skynet members were cloaked in gloom.


They had all come from the Imperial Prison. For hundreds of years, they had carried out missions together. Many had died; they were the only ones to survive.


No matter how many times they had schemed against one another, no matter what conflicts existed between them, now that the God of War was truly facing death, their hearts were filled with complex emotions.


Seeing the looks on the faces of these killers, Li Yaozu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Everyone, what was it you were just about to do?"


"What else could we do?!!"


Han Yun gritted his teeth. "That trash Prince Qian led us into a trap. It would be one thing if he were simply unrepentant, but does he care at all about our lives? Boss, isn't he the one who wants to torture us? We've been operating in the Duravia Trade Prefecture for hundreds of years; we know it better than he does. I refuse to believe we can't find a chance to kill him!"


"I agree," the old man nodded. "If a petty person like that ever truly gains power, he will hunt us to the ends of the earth. I want him dead."


Dongfang Xuan added without a second thought, "And the Myriad Dao Immortal Palace."


Gu Yinming's eyes darted back and forth. He glanced at the Li family members, who showed no intention of stopping the discussion, and quickly interjected, "What's the rush? We and the Li family have a common enemy. If we could just get your help…"


"Hmph!"


Li Yaotie was the first to speak. "We have a common enemy, yes, but do you expect our Li family to disrupt our own battle plans for your sake? The distance from Eternal Sun Prefecture to Duravia Trade Prefecture isn't far. Now that the news of the God of War's disappearance is out, Prince Qian will have made his preparations long ago."


"Are you really stupid enough to walk right into his trap? That's Prince Qian's home turf. Can't you see that even we haven't dared to set foot in Duravia Trade Prefecture?"


His words were crude, but his logic was sound. Even Skynet's Boss had been forced to tread with extreme caution during his past half-year in the Duravia Trade Prefecture.


At that moment, Li Yaozu also spoke in a gentle tone.


"Everyone, for a gentleman, revenge is a dish best served cold. The people of the Duravia Trade Prefecture dare not set foot in our Eternal Sun Prefecture either. Since we have a common goal, you might as well have a little more patience. Within six months, even if it means an all-out war, our Li family will take Prince Qian's life."


From the side, Li Wei watched the two brothers. He really had no idea where they had learned this ability to play good cop, bad cop.


But when he saw the members of Skynet finally nod and agree to remain in Eternal Sun Prefecture, a smile appeared on Li Wei's face as well.


With the help of the Skynet members, the family's chances of taking down the Duravia Trade Prefecture were now even greater.


Xingchen and his wife, Fan Feixuan, would be returning soon. He did not want an insidious, venomous wolf lurking at the family's side.


...


A month passed in the blink of an eye.


In the lands of the Eternal Sun Prefecture, the Three Thieves were also besieging a large sect.


At that moment, the trio had so thoroughly intimidated the Divinity Transformation cultivator within the sect that he didn't dare to emerge and could only hide behind his grand formation.


The three of them were all at the Peak Nascent Soul or Nascent Soul 'Leaving the Body' stages.


But Li Tianyi was different!


[Your descendant, Li Tianyi, has received a gift from his younger sister, Li Tianyue, obtaining the 'Sacred Codex of the Clear Heart Talismans,' the mid-grade Dharma Treasure 'Talisman of the Twelve Profound Seals,' and the Earth-rank Technique 'Enchanting Heart-Summoning Dance' from the Clear Heart Hall.]


The biggest beneficiary of the Clear Heart Hall's destruction was none other than Li Tianyi.


Li Tianyi had always had the support of numerous seniors, making him versed in all manner of arts; he even had help deciphering talismans.


The mid-grade Dharma Treasure, the Talisman of the Twelve Profound Seals, was especially suitable for him. It could nurture 'Talisman,' which required the support of souls to function.


And the one thing Li Tianyi had in abundance was Divine Souls!


The souls of the old grandfathers and grandmothers who had accompanied him for so many years no longer needed to wander.


Their Divine Souls had been replenished and strengthened back when Tian Xing was defeated forty years ago.


The appearance of the 'Talisman of the Twelve Profound Seals' gave them a new home. The twelve strongest among them became the 'Twelve Profound Seal' within the talisman.


Furthermore, the few additional remnant souls that Li Tianyi had found since then, bringing the total number of old seniors to 38, were now using their own spiritual power to slowly repair the talisman.


According to the senior souls, the Talisman of the Twelve Profound Seals was simply the most suitable Dharma Treasure for their condition.


As their own power grew, they could continuously use their techniques to strengthen the Divine Talisman, meaning it even had the potential to become a Thirteen, Fifteen, or even One Hundred Profound Seals Talisman.


Now, on the battlefield, the "useless" Li Tianyi, his "unassuming" Dharma Treasure, and the thirty-odd old grandfathers and grandmothers who popped out of it had become the most terrifying spectacle.


[Your descendant, Li Tianyi, by obtaining the 'Talisman of the Twelve Profound Seals,' has given a new home to the many old grandfathers and grandmothers. Trait Acquired: Mobile Retirement Home]


[The more Profound Seals repaired within the Divine Talisman, the more powerful it becomes. Favorability with the seniors increases by 50%.]


As Li Tianyi joyfully used the Divine Talisman to lead these grandfathers and grandmothers in a great slaughter on the battlefield, the spirit ark that had departed from Eternal Sun Prefecture had also arrived at the battlefields of Duskwild Prefecture.
