Luo Water City, the place where the direct line of the Luo family resides, is almost entirely populated by Luo family members. The inner city is the main residence of the Luo family.
On this journey, Luo Li tightly gripped the reins while staring wide-eyed at everything around him, perfectly portraying the image of a young boy who is not very skilled at riding horses and has never seen such a bustling scene.
This was nothing for Luo Li; he could act like a god when pretending to be one, and act like a ghost when pretending to be one, which was his killer instinct.
"Uncle Seven, this city gate is so big, so big!"
"Uncle Seven, is all of this ours? It's so prosperous!"
"Uncle Seven, that girl smiled at me. Do I have something on my face? Is she laughing at me?"
In the midst of the young boy's naive and amazed exclamations, the steward, Luo Qi, had already developed a good impression of him. Orphaned at a young age, Luo Li was pitiful, but he was self-reliant, diligent in his studies, and hardworking in martial arts. Moreover, he was kind and liked to help others.
On the way, with just a few words and expressions, Luo Li won the trust and favor of the Luo family steward, Luo Qi.
Soon, they entered the city and arrived at the main residence of the inner city. Luo Qi couldn't help but say:
"Once they finish the inspection, if you really have a spiritual root, no one will dare to offend you. You can boldly say what you want and what you desire!"
Then he whispered:
"The Great Master likes children who speak their minds and act boldly, and dislikes shy children who are afraid to speak. So you can speak boldly, there's nothing to worry about."
This was the benefit of a good impression. The Great Master was the head of the Luo family, Luo Tianlong. When Luo Li first started, he killed Luo Tianyu, who was his younger brother.
Luo Li had known all of this long ago. As a killer, intelligence was the top priority. Under the arrangement of Master Ciyun, he knew the Luo family inside and out.
However, Luo Li still clasped his hands and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Seven!"
Luo Qi nodded and said, "If you need anything, come find me. I usually stay in the outer hall. I may not have great abilities, but I can handle small matters!"
Entering the main residence, Luo Qi left, and Luo Li was led into a large hall where five or six elders had been waiting for a long time. Then came various inspections.
He was stripped naked, had his hair cut, his weight measured, his height measured, his blood drawn, his teeth examined, and his ribs felt. It took half an hour before the elders confirmed that Luo Li had a spiritual root, and it was a three-element spiritual root: water, earth, and fire, a very good aptitude!
The news spread, and the Luo family was immediately filled with joy. Every newly discovered Luo family member with a spiritual root would go to the Central Heaven World to cultivate, and they would be the support for the Luo family's foothold in the Silver State Continent.
After the inspection, Luo Li bathed and changed clothes, then put on the best silk robes, and was sent to the best building in the Luo family. Four beautiful maidservants carefully attended to him, providing the highest treatment.
The next day, Luo Li was brought to a large hall. In the center of the hall was an energetic old man, Luo Tianlin, an elder of the Luo family. He had white hair and bright, piercing eyes.
Along with Luo Li, there were four others, two men and two women. One of the women was about seventeen or eighteen years old, older than Luo Li, and had a big sister-like demeanor.
The other woman was very delicate, about fifteen or sixteen years old. One of the two young men was about the same age as Luo Li, but the other was much younger, about fourteen or fifteen years old. Luo Li could tell at a glance that the delicate girl was the leader of the group, and the other three obeyed her without question.
These were all Luo family members with spiritual roots discovered in the past twenty years. They would all leave together.
However, they were different from Luo Li. They were discovered to have spiritual roots from birth and grew up here, receiving enlightenment education in cultivation from the Luo family and enjoying all the resources of the Luo family. They could be considered the pride of the Luo family.
Luo Li, on the other hand, was a late bloomer, a wildflower and a country bumpkin. They had grown up together, and seeing this late-joining country boy, though they didn't say anything, a look of disdain appeared on their faces, and an invisible boundary formed between them.
Luo Li looked at them and continuously hypnotized himself:
"I am now a young boy of the Luo family, knowing nothing, finding everything new. I am no longer the invincible Heavenly Dao Killer; I am just the young boy Luo Li!"
"I am a child, I know nothing, I am curious about everything..."
The highest level of deception is to deceive oneself first to deceive others!
Luo Tianlin looked at them and smiled, saying:
"Luo Xin, Luo Lan, Luo Feng, Luo Ming, this is your new brother, Luo Li. From today on, the five of you are brothers and sisters. Remember, in battle, fathers and sons fight together, and brothers fight together. The rise and fall of the Luo family will depend on you all.
In the past, our Luo family in the Silver State was originally a hunter..."
At this point, Elder Luo Tianlin respectfully stood up and bowed to the west, showing his respect for the ancestors, then continued:
"Our ancestor, Xi Yi, had great fortune and encountered a celestial opportunity, allowing him to leave this realm and go to the Central Heaven World. After arduous cultivation, he finally became a supreme Golden Core cultivator!
Seven hundred years ago, Ancestor Xi Yi returned to the Silver State, and from then on, our Luo family revived..."
Elder Luo began to recount the history, from a thousand years ago when Ancestor Xi Yi encountered a celestial opportunity, to seven hundred years ago when the Luo family rose, and to the current prosperity of the Luo family. He spoke for two hours, and in his narration, there seemed to be a kind of magic, making the listeners feel their blood boil, eager to carve out a new world like their ancestors.
Finally, Elder Luo said, "When you go to the Central Heaven World, cultivate well and listen to the teachings of the Ancestor. You can certainly carve out your own new world!
Life is not easy; don't waste a hundred years. Seize the opportunity, focus on cultivation, and achieve success..."
Luo Li put on a passionate look, as if completely stimulated by Elder Luo's words, eager to fight. This made the other young boys sneer; they were already immune to these words.
The delicate girl was named Luo Xin, the girl a year older than Luo Li was named Luo Lan, and the youngest boy was named Luo Feng.
It wasn't that they could resist Elder Luo Tianlin's teachings; they had heard them for over ten years and were already tired of them!
After the history and ancient teachings, Elder Luo Tianlin began to impart cultivation knowledge!
"You all have spiritual roots, so you can leave the Silver State Continent and go to the Central Heaven World to cultivate!
Don't think this is easy; it is a rare opportunity. Many wandering cultivators seek it in vain. A single technique is worth a thousand pieces of gold. You have this opportunity only because you are all surnamed Luo, borrowing the glory of your ancestors!
If it weren't for Ancestor Xi Yi ascending to the Golden Core realm in the Lingdie Qiqiao Sect and inheriting the Lingqiao lineage, we wouldn't have today. You don't know how difficult cultivation is..."
Thus, another round of education followed, then he returned to the main topic and continued:
"Cultivation is the process of seeking immortality and obtaining boundless powers. Once achieved, you can ride the wind and command the universe, wield a sword across thousands of miles, ride the clouds and laugh, be immune to water and fire, eat lightning and transcend tribulations, and a single pill can grant eternal life.
In the morning, you can visit Kunlun, and in the evening, the North Sea. You can eat the green clouds and the red mist, watch the waves rise and fall, and see a thousand years pass like a dream. You can ride dragons and befriend cranes, enjoying the supreme freedom of the world!"
"The ancient legends of cultivation have six major realms: Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and Void Return. Each realm is divided into ten levels, with levels one to three being the early stage, four to six being the middle stage, seven to nine being the late stage, and the tenth level being the Great Perfection.
It is said that there are three more realms above these, but they are beyond our knowledge!
The path of cultivation is extremely difficult. Advancing in each realm and each level is extremely challenging..."
"The so-called cultivation world is actually the Central Earth World, a vast and boundless world.
Our Silver State Continent is merely a subordinate dimension of this world, a mere fraction of the Central Earth World.
The Central Earth World, after being explored and discovered by the sages, was finally determined to be composed of the Nine Domains!
These Nine Domains are Central Plains, Liaodong, Southern Chu, Western Pass, Northern Cang, Suiyuan, Miaoxiang, Gaozang, and Qingxu. Between the Nine Domains, there are the Four Seas to the east, south, west, and north, connecting the Nine Domains.
The vastness of the Nine Domains and Four Seas is beyond your imagination. They are called domains because from the place where the sun rises to the place where it sets, the land illuminated by the sun is considered one domain!
Remember, this is one place, not necessarily one sun. There might be two or three. In the Gaozang domain, there are twelve suns!"
At this point, Elder Luo began to impart various knowledge. Listening to this, Luo Li opened his mouth wide and occasionally let out exclamations of amazement, acting as if he couldn't believe it! In fact, he had already known this knowledge from Master Ciyun, and now he was just pretending.
Luo Li was extremely amazed, while the other young boys had heard it countless times and were indifferent, viewing Luo Li as a country bumpkin. With this contrast, Elder Luo was very satisfied with Luo Li's reaction and continued to speak more enthusiastically!
"He's a good child, but it's a pity he awakened a bit late. Otherwise, I could teach him everything I know!"
Thus, he continued to speak until noon, then the teaching ended, and everyone enjoyed a feast. In the afternoon, he continued to teach various cultivation knowledge.
During lunch, Luo Xin, Luo Lan, and the other four sat at one table. Luo Li went over to sit with them.
Luo Ming immediately dominated the table and said:
"Country bumpkin, there's no place for you here!"
The others also looked at Luo Li in the same way, treating him as a country bumpkin!
Luo Li put on a look of being discriminated against and looked down upon by his peers, feeling indignant. A young boy should act like a young boy. The Heavenly Dao Killer had already disappeared. Only by doing this could he avoid suspicion and leave here.
Actually, for Luo Li, this was too childish, a child's trick. But this was better. Luo Li deliberately wanted to avoid them, keeping a distance, and minimizing contact. The fewer things, the better. The goal was to leave the Silver State Continent safely and smoothly.
