A Century Early in the Battle of Dou Qi

He had personally cultivated it, so naturally, he knew how powerful that Cultivation Technique was.

The truly abnormal aspect of the Cultivation Technique created by Zhao Li wasn't its cultivation speed, but rather that it guaranteed a minimum threshold for cultivation. As long as one successfully cultivated it, they could reach at least the Dou Spirit realm. As for realms beyond Dou Spirit, those involved the energy of heaven and earth, which wasn't something a Cultivation Technique alone could solve.

Hearing this, Zhao Li couldn't help but smile, then looked at Zhao Hongyu. When she was promoted to Dou King, the position of Clan Head was passed to her. Many things could be discussed with her.

After a brief thought, Zhao Li said:

"Sister Hong Yu, over the years, I've had another fortunate encounter and improved the Cultivation Technique by a tiny bit. From now on, it will be passed down within the clan. However, a man is innocent, but his wealth makes him guilty. In the future, we need to be careful and draft a set of rules so that clan members can receive it in stages based on their Cultivation Level and contributions."

When he was possessed by the Spirit Emperor, only his Soul Power was under his control. He constantly observed the Spirit Emperor fighting enemies, essentially being taught by him hand-in-hand. Since then, his Cultivation Technique had reached a great level, but it was only suitable for him; it was difficult for others to replicate.

But he had still prepared for his family. He had already divided the Cultivation Technique into three volumes. One volume was for the Foundation Establishment of younger generations, Earth Tier Low Grade, which could guarantee reaching Dou Spirit as a minimum.

One volume was Earth Rank High Grade, which was in the same lineage as the former. If one's talent was sufficient, it was fine to use it all the way to Dou Venerate.

There was also a volume that had reached Heaven Rank. Although it was only for Dou Qi cultivation, it was still one-third of the essence of his own cultivation path. If clan members could cultivate the first two and reach Dou Venerate, their talent, strength, and foundation would be solid, and cultivating this one wouldn't be difficult.

As for the Cultivation Technique he was currently cultivating...

"If someone can break through the barrier between Essence, Qi, and Spirit, then perhaps it's also possible?"

Zhao Li was a little unsure. He could cultivate Essence, Qi, and Spirit simultaneously because he had cut through his Cognitive Barrier and understood that Essence, Qi, and Spirit were equal and interchangeable, allowing them to be perfectly integrated.

But this process was difficult to explain clearly and could only be comprehended by oneself.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu's eyes lit up. For Zhao Li to attach such importance to it, it must be absolutely extraordinary. She nodded in agreement:

"Although there aren't many in the Zhao Family's Direct Lineage, there are still about fifty people, not to mention the collateral branches. We really can't pass it on casually. Hmm, we'll need to hold a clan meeting to decide how to implement it specifically."

Zhao Li nodded. He only had a preliminary idea. To obtain the Cultivation Technique, one needed contribution and had to pass a Formation test. As for contribution, they definitely needed to come up with a set of rules. As for Formations, he didn't know much, only able to set up a few simple illusion formations.

In the path of Alchemy, Zhao Li was already a Great Grandmaster, but in skills like Formations, Artifact Forging, and Talisman Crafting, he could only be considered a beginner. This was because there was almost no inheritance for these things on the Continent. Currently, these things were pieced together from various Ruins.

"Alas~ If there were strong experts guarding the clan, why would it be so troublesome..."

Zhao Li sighed with a sense of helplessness in his heart. Without strong experts, even if they had it, they might not dare to use it.

At this moment, Zhao Ze, who was listening nearby, suddenly spoke up and asked:

"Xiao Li, what's your current strength? Have you already reached Dou Venerate?"

He had felt a trace of Zhao Li's extremely terrifying aura before, and now hearing him say he had made significant progress, he was very curious and finally asked the doubt in his heart.

Zhao Li nodded and replied calmly:

"Yes, just a bit of luck."

He was telling the truth. When he broke through to Dou Venerate, it was indeed very lucky; he was almost killed by Hun Tiandi. But even if he survived, his meridians were completely destroyed, and he almost became a cripple.

"Hiss——"

Several people, in unison, took a sharp breath of cold air. The cold air was shared among them, entering their mouths, and the air warmed up slightly.

For them, Dou Venerate was already a legendary Realm. In this era where Dou Di did not exist, only Dou Sheng could suppress them.

Perhaps in Great Qian, or even the entire Eastern Region, there might not even be a Dou Venerate.

Zhao Ze became even more excited. If his son could follow him, in the future...

When Zhao Yannian returned, he saw his uncles looking shocked, and his own father was grinning foolishly. Seeing that his mouth was about to drool, he called out:

"Dad, wake up, stop dreaming."

Zhao Ze jolted, and the image of the famous and peerless Zhao Yannian in his mind was slowly replaced by his somewhat annoying son in front of him:

"Yannian, you must study hard with Uncle Zhao Li, listen to him, and don't embarrass me."

Seeing his earnest look, Zhao Yannian was completely bewildered, not understanding what he meant, and mumbled:

"Dad, what are you talking about? Did you drink too much?"

He reached out and waved his hand in front of his father, then looked at his uncles.

Zhao Ze opened his hand, smiling slightly, and said:

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Your Uncle Zhao Li said you have extraordinary bones and are a rare cultivation genius among ten thousand, and he wants to take you as his disciple."

Hearing this, Zhao Yannian immediately looked at Zhao Li and asked:

"Really?"

He naturally knew that the stories he had heard since childhood were written by Zhao Li. Later, after he discovered some things that others hadn't, he became very curious and admired that legendary uncle. He hadn't expected...

Zhao Li didn't tease him and nodded.

"Master is above! Am I really a rare cultivation genius among ten thousand?"

Zhao Yannian quickly knelt down and kowtowed, catching Zhao Li off guard, then looked at Zhao Li with anticipation.

Zhao Hongyu and the others found his appearance somewhat amusing, but at the same time, there was a hint of envy. The opportunity to be personally taught by a Dou Venerate expert was something others couldn't even beg for.

Zhao Li waved his hand, pulled up the boy with the leaping thoughts, and said with a smile:

"Didn't you always want to go out, kid? Your father has agreed. I'll say this first, if you don't behave well outside, you will be punished."

Zhao Yannian chuckled, without the slightest worry, and grabbed the wine jar to fill everyone's cups. At this moment, he no longer felt that being here was torture.

This Small Gathering lasted until late at night.

The bright moon hung high, casting its light upon the earth. In the courtyard, a few figures stumbled out of Zhao Ze's house.

"Eldest Aunt, Eldest Uncle, Master, take care on your way."

Zhao Yannian saw them off and returned inside.

Zhao Ze rubbed his head, and seeing him return, said:

"Yannian, your Uncle Li is a capable person. You must learn well from him. Also, your talent has been good since you were young, but you can't be arrogant. You should know that there is a heaven beyond heaven, and people beyond people. Sigh, when you're outside, listen more to Uncle Li..."

Zhao Yannian heard him and interrupted:

"Dad, I'm just going out for a look around, it won't be long. Why are you acting like this?"

Zhao Ze was stunned for a moment. If it were anyone else, he naturally wouldn't think it would take long, but that was Zhao Li. He had never left home since he was a child. The first time he went out, it was for several years, and later it was more than ten years. If he went out again, who knew how long it would be?

His face darkened:

"When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt. Just listen properly."

"Oh! You continue."

Zhao Yannian was already used to it, his face indifferent.

Zhao Ze fell silent. After a long time, he waved his hand, telling Zhao Yannian to leave.

Zhao Yannian, however, stepped forward, supporting him, and said:

"Dad, don't worry, I'll definitely be obedient and learn all of Master's skills. By the way, don't you get lazy, old man. If I surpass you, tsk~"

He was serious for a little while, then went back to his usual self.

Zhao Ze, however, didn't care at all, and laughed while scolding him:

"Is that all you aim for, you rascal? Surpassing me isn't difficult. Aim higher, be bolder, and surpass your Master!"
