Free Web NovelChapter 1669: Chapter 166: Calamity Star
Lee Ling held the White Fox, his silhouette gradually disappearing into the distance.
The thunder in this realm still rumbled, the Heavenly Tribulation persisted, yet the figures of Lee Ling and the White Fox were no longer visible.
Witnessing this scene, Lee Ran’s eyes revealed a contemplative expression.
He did not follow, but instead turned quietly to leave after the brief silence engulfed the Heaven and Earth.
However, as he turned, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, and his face instantly became extremely serious.
Because before him stood a young man in white, holding a small white fox in his arms, which was now staring at him with round eyes, showing a hint of innocent curiosity.
The adorable innocence of the little white fox immediately became apparent.
"Elder—"
Lee Ran did not display the occasion of recognizing the Emperor, as this recognition was derived from Zhou Yan’s memories of the future.
"I am called Lee Ling, also an Emperor. We belong to the same clan."
The young man in white spoke in a calm voice.
His words left Lee Ran surprised; evidently, Lee Ran did not expect the Emperor to openly disclose his identity.
After the momentary stun, Lee Ran quickly tried to bow and pay respect—this was the most basic courtesy towards the Emperor as an ancestor of the Human Clan.
However, this gesture was halted by the Emperor.
"Lee Ran, there’s no need for formalities. You are, after all, the last son of Earth from the Earth Ancestral Land, akin to us in existence. But now your strength is too weak, come with me for some training beyond this domain."
The Emperor’s tone was light, yet his attitude genuinely conveyed sincerity.
Lee Ran pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then, I shall humbly accept."
"Hmm, between us, there’s no need for formality. You can call me Fu Xi or Lee Ling."
"Junior—"
"For cultivators, these things are insignificant, aren’t they?"
"The Emperor’s favor is deeply flattering to me, Lee Ran feels uneasy."
"No need to be so, your personality likely does not cling to these trivial matters. Let’s go."
The Emperor smiled faintly, and after speaking, he turned and stepped towards the distance.
Each step seemed... filled with the Secret Technique of Totem.
Without hesitation, Lee Ran followed directly.
...
Wilderness, Lee Family.
The Lee Family is an ancient sect, existing solely in the form of a family.
The people of the Lee Family are born with powerful bloodlines, possessing extraordinary talents.
As a result, the Lee Family members have a kind of arrogant spirit in their blood.
But in the Lee Family, there is one boy who is completely different.
He has no talent, no ability; everything that others possess, he lacks.
He is a fool, an idiot, and the reason he can survive is due to the care of another talented girl from the Lee Family.
That girl is Lee Lianqing.
Lee Lianqing has an inseparable affection for Lee Sha, even if it’s naïve, she almost constantly takes care of Lee Sha, and Lee Sha also listens to her very much.
Because of this, the Lee Family began to worry that such a talented girl as Lee Lianqing would not be able to focus on her cultivation due to a fool, thus they planned to send Lee Lianqing to the War God Academy for cultivation after she turned fifteen, to separate the relationship between Lee Sha and Lee Lianqing.
And before this, Lee Lianqing must reach the Void Realm before the age of fifteen, only then will she be qualified to enter the War God Academy.
Moreover, in the War God Academy, there is already a very outstanding genius, who is Xiao Tianlun with the Tai Chu Sword Body, a special constitution from Ancient times.
Xiao Tianlun is a member of the ancient Xiao Family; the Lee Family has always maintained a good relationship with the Xiao Family, thus they also intend for Lee Lianqing to interact with Xiao Tianlun.
The Lee Family believes that once Lee Lianqing engages with Xiao Tianlun, she would definitely know who is truly exceptional.
This matter does not worry the Lee Family; the Tai Chu Sword Body, this ancient constitution, holds a great appeal for women. For young women like Lee Lianqing, being attracted is not unexpected.
Seeing the bond between six-year-old Lee Sha and Lee Lianqing, certain individuals in the Lee Family started making plans for the future.
...
Time has quickly passed nine years.
Lee Sha is now fifteen.
At fifteen, he has not reached any Realm; if he fails to achieve the Sword Intent Realm by sixteen, due to the restrictions of the rules, his future achievements will be greatly diminished.
This is because upon reaching sixteen without surpassing the Sword Intent Realm, the Origin within his body will begin to deplete over time.
However—Lee Sha doesn’t worry about this, but Zhou Yan, deep within his brow, does.
Lee Sha hasn’t cultivated, but Zhou Yan, has been diligently cultivating for fifteen years using the Rule Power.
With his Holy Spirit Evil Venerable soul, the speed of cultivation is naturally unparalleled.
Even without any resource aid, after fifteen years, though his Soul Body’s strength started from scratch, Zhou Yan has now reached the extreme of the Nine Changes of Sword Void.
Next comes the Nine Refinements of Sword Tribulation.
Since overcoming tribulation requires a unique place, Zhou Yan has stopped upon reaching this extreme and is waiting.
At sixteen, during the reverse transformation of the rules, entering Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain and combining with brother Lee Ran’s Origin, Zhou Yan can directly transcend the Realm, ascend to godhood, and become the true Lei Yan King.
The birth of the Lei Yan King is attributed to the present Zhou Yan, instead of Lee Sha.
During this period, encounters with Mu Qingyan and other events are already calculated in Zhou Yan’s mind.
