Chapter 144: Urgent Support
After settling matters in the immortal formation,
Li Xiaojun decided to make a trip to Taihuang Star.
Three hundred years ago, he promised his daughter Li Nianjun that he would return after three hundred years, and he had not forgotten.
Six months later.
Li Xiaojun arrived at Taihuang Star once again.
“Dad, you’re here!”
Li Nianjun was very excited to see Li Xiaojun again.
“Dad, please have a seat.” Her husband, Chen Xiaofan, also welcomed Li Xiaojun with great enthusiasm.
…
After Li Xiaojun’s arrival,
naturally, it was Li Nianjun and Chen Xiaofan, the two elders, who summoned the younger generation to meet Li Xiaojun, their ancestor.
However, Li Xiaojun felt a bit regretful that his great-great-granddaughter Chen Shishi, who had been very close to him three hundred years ago, along with several other children he had good relationships with, were not at Taihuang Star.
After Li Xiaojun left, he had enhanced their spirit roots to top-grade spirit roots, so they were now summoned by the alliance.
Chen Shishi was one of them.
Li Nianjun told him that Chen Shishi had now become a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage and was working on Chiyan Star.
“Dad, my spirit root has become an Immortal spirit root, and Shishi and the others’ spirit roots have all turned into top-grade spirit roots. Is this because of you?”
That night, Li Nianjun asked Li Xiaojun.
Three hundred years ago, several people in their family suddenly had their spirit roots strengthen, and she directly went from a top-grade spirit root to an Immortal spirit root. At that time, she had suspected it was related to her father.
She noticed that those children whose spirit roots were enhanced, including herself, were all very close to Li Xiaojun.
Such coincidences were rare, so everything likely stemmed from her father.
By asking him directly, she simply sought an answer.
“Yes,” Li Xiaojun nodded in acknowledgment.
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s confirmation, Li Nianjun’s eyes instantly lit up, her expression revealing relief, surprise, and expectation.
Seeing his daughter’s reaction, Li Xiaojun lightly said, “This is a kind of bloodline talent of mine. It consumes my lifespan, but I can enhance the spirit roots of those who possess my bloodline.”
“However, this enhancement consumes a significant amount of my lifespan, and moreover, I cannot enhance the spirit roots of those without my bloodline, so I can’t do anything for Chen Xiaofan.”
Li Xiaojun understood his daughter’s thoughts from the look in her eyes.
She might want him to enhance the spirit roots of someone close to her.
But Li Xiaojun could not casually grant spirit root enhancements to others.
Li Nianjun was his daughter, and Chen Shishi was someone he had a good relationship with, so he was willing to provide that enhancement.
As for others, he really had no obligation to do so.
It was already quite impressive to help them transform from ordinary people into having spirit roots.
As for his son-in-law Chen Xiaofan, Li Xiaojun genuinely had no way to help him because he was not one of his bloodline descendants.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Li Nianjun felt a bit disappointed.
After learning that enhancing the spirit roots of bloodline descendants required consuming his lifespan, Li Nianjun immediately abandoned the thought of asking her father to help enhance her lover’s spirit roots.
Next, Li Xiaojun stayed at his daughter’s home.
He planned to reside there for a couple of years before visiting the magic planet.
In three hundred years, the interstellar teleportation route to the magic planet had long been opened, and now it only took a few months to reach the magic planet using the interstellar teleportation array.
After deciding to check out the magic planet, Li Xiaojun left the Cultivation Alliance and began to search for the location of Earth.
Once he reached Earth, after living there for a while, he could comfortably break through his cultivation level.
At that time, whether he ascended or not, it would resolve his inner conflicts.
Time flew by, and two years passed.
For two years, Li Xiaojun lived in his daughter Li Nianjun’s home.
On this day, two years later,
his young daughter Li Ziyao suddenly contacted Li Xiaojun.
“Dad, where are you located in the alliance right now?” Li Yufei asked Li Xiaojun.
“What’s wrong?” Li Xiaojun quickly inquired.
“Dad, tell me your location. I want to see if you can help,” Li Ziyao replied hurriedly.
“I’m currently at Taihuang Star,” Li Xiaojun said.
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s answer, Li Ziyao quickly said, “Dad, please head to Hengchang Star immediately and rescue the talented members of the Human Race there.”
“What’s going on?” Li Xiaojun asked his daughter urgently.
“Here’s the thing: we found out that a group of beast tribe spies learned that we have a number of talented members of the Human Race practicing on Hengchang Star, so they sent some powerful beast tribe members to kill our talented members…”
“Talented members of the Human Race? What kind of talents are they? How many are there on Hengchang Star?” Li Xiaojun rapidly asked.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s question, Li Ziyao quickly replied, “They all have the potential of great emperors, and there are over a thousand of them.”
Li Xiaojun was truly outraged upon hearing Li Ziyao’s words.
“How could you gather so many talented individuals in one place? Are you trying to invite the beast tribe to attack?”
“Dad, the situation is a bit special. Just go to Hengchang Star first; I’ll explain on the way,” Li Ziyao said to Li Xiaojun.
“Alright, I’ll go right away.”
After sending a voice message to his daughter and son-in-law, Li Xiaojun quickly rushed to the interstellar teleportation array at Taihuang Star.
Upon arriving at the teleportation array, Li Xiaojun immediately took out the golden token Li Ziyao had given him hundreds of years ago.
“I need to requisition the interstellar teleportation array to Hengyun Star System group. The coordinates must be connected within ten minutes,” Li Xiaojun ordered the person in charge of operating the teleportation array.
At the same time, his powerful pressure from being a Tribulation stage great emperor made everyone silent with fear.
Some people who were preparing to take the teleportation array to other star fields had to leave the array under Li Xiaojun’s imposing presence.
“Yes, I’ll connect you to the interstellar teleportation array on the Hengyun Star System right away.”
Ten minutes later, Li Xiaojun stepped onto the interstellar teleportation array.
At the same time, he understood the situation and why Li Ziyao sought his help.
Recently, twenty-four Beast Immortals from the beast tribe had pressed upon the border between humans and beasts.
As a result, all the cultivators at the human immortal barrier went to the border to confront the Beast Immortals.
Under these circumstances, he suddenly received a call for help.
According to intelligence from the Hengyun Star System group, the beast tribe had destroyed several teleportation routes leading to Hengchang Star.
The beast tribe was led by two Tribulation stage beast emperors, along with a group of Great Ascension stage and Integration stage beasts, totaling thousands.
Fortunately, when the beast tribe appeared, over a thousand talented members of the Human Race scattered and escaped under the cover of many people, hiding within formations that could shield against divine sense detection.
This made it impossible for the beast tribe to hunt down all the talented members of the Human Race for the time being.
Due to this situation, Hengchang Star had urgently requested assistance.
Now, the only one who could save these talented individuals was Li Xiaojun.
All the cultivators at the human immortal barrier were tied up at the border; even if they wanted to return now, it would take at least a year and a half.
By the time they returned in a year and a half, the situation would likely be dire.
That’s why Li Ziyao thought of Li Xiaojun immediately.
In Li Ziyao’s eyes, Li Xiaojun was a powerful Immortal, and dealing with the two Great Ascension stage beasts would be quite simple for him.
Furthermore, Taihuang Star was not far from Hengchang Star, and if he forcibly requisitioned the teleportation array en route, it would take only half a month to reach Hengchang Star.
Although the teleportation routes near Hengchang Star had been destroyed, the flying speed of Li Xiaojun as an "Immortal" meant he only needed to fly three light years from the closest point to reach Hengchang Star.
Three light years would take less than two months at the speed of a human immortal.
Adding the half-month of teleportation along the way, he could completely arrive at Hengchang Star in two and a half months and rescue a portion of the talented members of the Human Race.
