Chapter 376: The Transformation of the Little Demons

“Come on! Great Earthly Xuan Dragon of Reverse Five Elements, reverse, reverse, reverse!” Li Hui’s hair was tousled, as he stepped with the Seven Stars Daoist steps, holding the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword, directing boundless calamity power to empower the talisman’s decree, causing all the talisman formations to burn fiercely. The calamities crashed down like waves meeting a massive reef, shattering into pieces in an instant.

“Again…”

Half an hour later, the Great Earthly Xuan Dragon of Reverse Five Elements talisman released rings of halos, so abundant that they were jaw-dropping, showing signs of advancement. The Five Spirits Transformation Talisman and the Primitive Shell Symbol were equally radiant.

The Mysterious Pearl released a figure, and Li Hui immediately recognized Yao’er.

The Golden Jade Peach Tree was not charming; it was the king of trees, solemn and elegant. The little girl, a true beauty, appeared around eight or nine years old, foreseeing a future of stunning beauty. She saw Li Hui smiling and flew over, calling sweetly, “Father!”

“Hehe, suddenly having such a big daughter feels a bit strange.”

Li Hui was about to nurture their bond when another figure flew out from the Mysterious Pearl, loudly shouting, “Father, hug me…”

The figure came barreling over, exuding an overwhelming presence, like a small mountain pressing down. Li Hui quickly lifted his leg to kick out, and all he heard was a tragic scream, “Ouch, it’s me, Xie Xuan.”

“Little Xuan? I thought a demon had barged in! Is it really necessary to be this exaggerated? At such a young age, you’re already all muscle and have a face full of tissue. Don’t use my name when you go out; it’ll lower my image.” Li Hui brushed off the dust and raised his leg to assert dominance at the stocky boy.

Xie Xuan had teary eyes, covering his face, and exclaimed, “My true form is a crab! Who wouldn’t want to be a handsome tree standing against the wind? But crabs grow sideways by nature; what can I do?”

Li Hui chuckled and picked up each of the little ones.

In fact, except for Yao’er and Xie Xuan, the other little demons were all two or three-year-old infants, with some showing wood patterns or green embryos, named after their true forms, all bearing the surname Li.

The monster tribulation of transformation had not yet ended but was approaching its conclusion. They needed to resist this part themselves. Yao’er released the Peach Blossom Mist, Xie Xuan threw out the golden scissors, while the little ones either used Celestial Tree Blossoming Branches or took out spiritual treasures given by Li Hui.

“Bang!” The talisman formation turned to ashes, and the demon tribulation suddenly surged.

The little demons had transformed, equivalent to cultivators at the Initial Condense Essence Stage. They had received jade combs and portions of Guang Jin’s heritage, along with the Haotu Sect’s texts and the Stone Stele from the Yin Ruins, learning Wood-based demonic spells that enabled them to fight against the calamities with great coordination.

Li Hui felt great satisfaction, a sense of achievement swelling within him.

Raising a bunch of little demons, not only did they transform at the same time, but they were also swiftly pushing their demonic spells to the Dao arts level. If they could borrow power through treasure talismans, they might unleash deadly moves.

As the calamity clouds dissipated completely, Li Hui recalled the Great Earthly Xuan Dragon of Reverse Five Elements talisman, the Five Spirits Transformation Talisman, and the Primitive Shell Symbol. He silently sensed the power in his hand and smiled, thinking, “Not bad! All that hard work paid off; the talisman has become even more mystical, likely to become my peak masterpiece! As for the Five Spirits Transformation Talisman, it still needs nurturing. The Primitive Shell Symbol requires reformation of the heroic souls; it cannot be treated like normal talismans!”

After the tribulation, Yao’er led the little ones back to solidify their realms.

Li Hui calculated quickly and realized the journey was tight, needing to hurry and reunite with his two senior sisters. Even if the guidance for hunting Shadow Beasts netted little merit, it could still yield fortune.

On the way back, he pondered, “This trip has been incredibly unlucky; I gained nothing but lost my wealth! Hopefully, I can reach the large city and replenish before the dark moon appears.”

In truth, Li Hui had no idea how lucky he was!

Meeting the remnants of Di Jiang caused the silver snake to make its move, giving him benefits. When he was sent as a disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Sect to Yun Zhu Peak, just as he teleported away, someone sought his trail.

Zhang Daoheng, the strongest inner disciple of the Jin Tian Sect, who bore the Fifty-four Seals, made countless female cultivators infatuated with him, could be called the unrivaled genius of the Great Xia Dynasty.

This man was destined to overshadow a generation, casting the shadow of his presence over countless cultivators. Because Lian Luosha and Qian Qiu Yue severed their feelings, ruining the heart tribulations he had set, he sought the root cause and came to eliminate Li Hui.

He practiced the calamity path, sealing with the power of tribulation; the deeper the entanglement, the greater the future achievement.

Ordinary cultivators found it hard to grasp the realm of the first among the inner disciples of the Jin Tian Sect, and he didn’t require anyone’s understanding. Killing an outer disciple bore no burden. Even if Old Daoist Xuan Zhen came knocking, he had ways to respond.

Carrying this mindset, Zhang Daoheng entered the dimensional axis.

Unfortunately, he neither encountered the remnants of Di Jiang nor stumbled upon the teleportation talisman. Once he discovered the hidden mountain gate of the Heavenly Talisman Sect, he slightly frowned, then quickly suppressed his doubts.

“So that’s the case; the kid named Li gained a chance, entering the dimensional axis to explore the ruins of the Heavenly Talisman Sect. Hmph, he knows how to pick places. The Heavenly Talisman Sect has been missing for many years, surrounded by rumors; today I’ll investigate.”

Zhang Daoheng’s exploration didn’t matter, but he didn’t come out for many days.

While Li Hui drank and gained insights, Zhang Daoheng’s soul lantern in the Jin Tian Sect trembled, nearly extinguishing. The Lord of the Niu Bi Temple widened his eyes, secretly thinking, “My, what is Chen Tiange doing? It seems he encountered something formidable and had to lift a large portion of his seals.”

When Li Hui helped the little ones through the demon tribulation and set off again, Zhang Daoheng finally emerged from the ruins of the Heavenly Talisman Sect.

His hair was untidy, and his face was pale; since becoming an inner disciple of the Jin Tian Sect, he had never felt so disheveled. As he looked back in shock, his eyes almost popped out with rage!

The losses were too great; the Heavenly Talisman Sect was extremely ominous. What made Zhang Daoheng even more frustrated was that the kid with the surname Li hadn’t even gone in; through a series of mishaps, he felt like a fool, recklessly plunging into unimaginable peril. Something helped the opponent cloud the heavenly secrets; otherwise, with his prowess, how could he not calculate this kid’s whereabouts?

If this were a battle of magic, he had already lost a step.

“I, Zhang Daoheng, would actually lose? How is that possible? No matter if you’re called Li Hui or Li Yingjun, I will erase all traces of your past from this world!” Zhang Daoheng stepped out of the dimensional axis and roared at the sky, “Wait, soon no one who knows you will remember you. The Mirror Lake faction will have no disciples like you, and you yourself will forget who you are, wallowing like a pig in a muddy pit, and when you become a dog, you’ll eat shit…”

Li Hui arrived at Xuan Ye City, where the Wen family had properties. Upon revealing his identity, he was immediately treated as an honored guest.

Hearing the shopkeeper’s introduction, he found that prices had surged significantly compared to half a month ago. Luckily, the prices of medicinal materials had also risen; after some thought, he took out all the yields of the Mysterious Pearl, exchanging half for Miao Jade and half for Talisman-Making Supplies and treasure fragments.

Miao Jade was used to replenish the consumed Mysterious Pearl, while all Talisman-Making Supplies were high-grade. With the increasing quality, it was becoming difficult to prepare spirit talismans; he was now formally entering the treasure talisman era.

The Wen family members handled errands while Li Hui scrambled to gather treasure talismans, rushing at full speed when unexpectedly Wen Chuchu’s voice echoed in his ear, “Stinky kid, still have time to draw symbols? Do you know you’re facing great disaster? Zhang Daoheng has set his sights on you! We’ve been worried sick these days.”

“Senior Sister, don’t joke; I don’t even know who Zhang Daoheng is. Oh, right, I’ve heard Senior Brother Xu mention this name, saying he’s a madman from the inner sect of the Jin Tian Sect who has fifty-four seals added on himself.”

“That’s him.” Wen Chuchu gasped, wanting to protect Li Hui, but this time she truly felt unable to do so.
