Chapter 74: Liu Hongxia: It’s Unfair, Old Man

"What? Li Ziwei is at the early stage of human immortal?"

Liu Hongxia was stunned to hear Gongyang Mu Ci’s words.

"How is that possible?" Liu Hongxia could hardly believe it.

"We all know this matter; there’s no need to lie to you," Gongyang Mu Ci said lightly, glancing at Liu Hongxia.

At that moment, Li Ziwei was somewhat displeased with Liu Hongxia directly calling her by name, so she released her human immortal pressure and directed it toward Liu Hongxia.

In the next moment, Liu Hongxia’s face flushed red.

She felt an immense and sharp pressure, making her, a Late Tribulation stage cultivator, feel as though Death itself was watching her.

Her sixth sense told Liu Hongxia that if Li Ziwei wanted to kill her, in an instant, she would be obliterated.

Is this the terror of an Immortal?

In that moment, Liu Hongxia finally had no doubts about Li Ziwei’s status as an Immortal.

However, the thought that Li Ziwei had already become an Immortal drove Liu Hongxia to madness with jealousy.

It’s unfair! So incredibly unfair.

They are both his daughters, yet he only enhanced the spirit roots of Li Ziwei and Li Ziyao.

Not only did he elevate their Yang spirit roots to Immortal spirit roots, but now he even improved Li Ziwei’s spirit roots to a better level than the Immortal spirit root.

As for her, she merely utilized the old man for the sake of the Human Race’s development, and he was so heartless that he didn’t grant her even one enhancement of her spirit root.

Thinking about this made Liu Hongxia feel as if her heart was being stabbed by daggers.

She regretted not treating the old man better.

Now, with Li Ziwei becoming an Immortal and planning to guard the Human Race, her own plan to deal with the old man after Li Ziwei and Li Ziyao ascended was utterly ruined.

With Li Ziwei’s Immortal status, she would definitely outlive Liu Hongxia.

"Did the old man enhance your spirit roots too?" Liu Hongxia turned her gaze to the others besides Li Ziwei and Li Ziyao.

Upon hearing Liu Hongxia’s question, Gongyang Mu Ci nodded. "Father enhanced our spirit roots to Immortal spirit roots."

"Did he also enhance your spirit roots to the same acquired divine demon root level as Li Ziwei?" Liu Hongxia asked again.

"Enhancing to acquired divine demon roots cannot be accepted by the Immortal Realm, so we plan to wait until we ascend and then have father help us with the spirit root enhancement," Qin Xue added.

"Moreover, enhancing to acquired divine demon roots requires a vast amount of spirit stones. Each enhancement might take trillions of spirit stones, and we have spent decades just gathering enough for the enhancement of five or six people’s spirit roots."

Hearing Qin Xue’s words, Liu Hongxia felt utterly defeated.

All of them could enhance their spirit roots, and it was to a level she had never even heard of, the acquired divine demon root.

And she, having offended the old man, was specifically targeted.

She felt hatred, she felt regret.

At that moment, Liu Hongxia’s insides twisted with regret.

"Ziwaijie, can you ask Dad to enhance my spirit roots as well?" Liu Hongxia looked at Li Ziwei with pleading eyes!

Hearing Liu Hongxia’s words, Li Ziwei’s lips twitched.

Before she could speak, Li Ziyao chimed in.

"Liu Hongxia, do you have any shame left?"

"You’re so selfish! When there’s nothing going on, you call me sister Li Ziwei, and now that you’re in trouble, you call me Ziwaijie? It makes me sick just hearing it."

"And what do you call my dad? You used to call him an old man, but now that you need something, suddenly you recognize him as your dad? What do you take my father for? Although you are his daughter, have you ever treated him as a biological father?"

"How can you still have the nerve to ask my sister to plead for you? I’ll tell you, there’s no way. Just give up on this! Even if my dad is willing to help enhance your spirit roots, I won’t agree."

Li Ziyao pointed at Liu Hongxia, scolding loudly.

Li Ziwei once again released her pressure toward Liu Hongxia.

Liu Hongxia’s face turned red, and she said nothing.

It was unclear if she was embarrassed by Li Ziyao’s reprimand or pressured by Li Ziwei.

The others watched Liu Hongxia being suppressed by the Li sisters but showed no inclination to intervene.

After a while, Li Ziwei withdrew her pressure, and Li Ziyao stopped her scolding.

"Okay, let’s end today’s meeting here. First, send people to seal off the star field on the beast tribe side. Additionally, Ziyao, you and Qingwu must go to the border and guard it. Ensure that no beasts discover our Human Race’s existence," Li Ziwei addressed everyone.

After the meeting ended, everyone left one after another.

The next day, Li Ziwei arrived at her father Li Xiaojun’s residence.

Li Xiaojun’s residence was in a palace at the heart of the Empress’s palace.

After coming to Autumn Rain Star, Li Xiaojun had lived in seclusion here.

To prevent Li Xiaojun from getting bored, his daughters arranged for groups of children to come and cheer him up every few years.

Over the years, Li Xiaojun had watched numerous children grow up, totaling no less than one hundred.

Among these children, there were naturally those dozen Immortal spirit root children that Liu Hongxia had forced Li Xiaojun to have.

Fortunately, all these kids had caregivers, so he didn’t have to worry too much.

When Li Ziwei arrived at Li Xiaojun’s residence, she found a group of children surrounding him, learning to read and write.

These children were all bloodline descendants of Li Xiaojun with high spirit root talent.

Among this group, the lowest spirit root was a top-grade spirit root.

"Ziweijie, it’s been years!"

Seeing Li Ziwei, Li Xiaojun greeted her with a smile.

Li Ziwei had been investigating the beast tribe for years, and upon her return, she immediately convened a meeting, making this her first visit with her father in a long time!

"Dad, there’s something I want to discuss with you," Li Ziwei said softly to Li Xiaojun.

As she spoke, the group of children around Li Xiaojun fell asleep one by one, and Li Ziwei used her divine sense to place them in their beds.

"What is it?" Li Xiaojun asked his daughter.

"Several years ago, our Cultivation Alliance’s exploration team discovered traces of the beast tribe…"

"Upon receiving this news, I immediately went to the beast tribe to investigate. From my findings, the beast tribe is incredibly powerful, much stronger than our Human Race…"

Li Ziwei recounted the information she had gathered over the years to Li Xiaojun.

Finally, she said to him, "The beast tribe has over one hundred Tribulation stage beast emperors, as well as many Great Ascension stage beast saints and Integration stage royals…"

"That’s why, during the meeting, Liu Hongxia suggested you take more concubines and have more Immortal spirit root children to prepare for future tribulations…"

"I’m here mainly to seek your opinion. If you disagree, we won’t force you; we can guarantee that." Li Ziwei assured Li Xiaojun.

This matter was something Li Ziwei had thought deeply about.

When Liu Hongxia initially proposed this suggestion, she felt very angry.

But reflecting on it, she realized that to prepare for the potential war with the beast tribe, her father Li Xiaojun’s role was indispensable.

Thus, after careful consideration, she came to seek her father Li Xiaojun’s opinion.

If her father disagreed, she wouldn’t force him as Liu Hongxia had.
