Chapter 1304: Chapter 1121: Heavenly Court

“Thank you, Clan Leader Li, for the reminder.” Fu Ming responded with a smile and did not linger, picking up the talisman and preparing to leave.

Li Yunchang’s furrowed brow flashed across his mind. He wanted to warn again, but recalling Fu Ming’s attitude, he swallowed his words and quietly stood up to see him off.

If it weren’t for the few spiritual objects sent by the Cave Abyss Sect, he wouldn’t have reminded him a second time!

However, on the way, he happened to run into Li Zhirui rushing over.

“Oh?”

Li Zhirui smiled slightly and said, “Was the family reception inadequate, causing you to leave so abruptly, Fellow Daoist?”

“You worry too much, Fellow Daoist. It’s just the elders of the sect urging me to return to the sect promptly with your family’s Deification Talisman and begin the arrangements.” Fu Ming sensed a threat from Li Zhirui and immediately changed his attitude.

He was quite surprised in his heart. As a disciple carefully cultivated by the Cave Abyss Sect, and with his cultivation being a realm higher, he actually felt threatened by Li Zhirui!

“Did the Clan Leader not tell you, Fellow Daoist, that there are issues with the divine ceremony? In the end, we only succeeded by relying on two Star Gods. When you return, please ask your elders to deduce thoroughly, ensuring there are no issues before proceeding with deification.”

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for the repeated reminder. I will bring your words back.” Fu Ming replied with a smile.

A dark glint flashed in Li Zhirui’s eyes. Seeing his demeanor, it was clear he didn’t take the words to heart, completely perfunctory.

However, he had already recorded the conversation process with a Memory Stone. If the Cave Abyss Sect came to cause trouble in the future, they would have the justification, and it couldn’t be blamed on the Li family.

Of course, if the Cave Abyss Sect were shameless, the memory would be of no use against them.

But it seemed they would still care about their reputation, after all, being one of the top forces in the Primal Spirit Realm, at least openly they wouldn’t oppress the Li family for this reason.

“That’s good.”

Li Zhirui spoke no more, sending off the Cave Abyss Sect cultivators alongside Li Yunchang.

“Ancestor Rui, could this bring trouble to the family?”

“Depends if the Cave Abyss Sect cares about reputation. If they’re shameless, there likely will be trouble.”

“Had I known, I’d rather not have given that talisman.” Li Yunchang said somewhat melancholically.

It’s the same in offending the Cave Abyss Sect, but of two evils, choose the lesser.

“No worries, when soldiers come, we’ll block them with generals; when water flows, we’ll use earth to dam it.”

At least as long as they don’t send cultivators above the Realm of Human Immortality, neither Li Zhirui nor Li Zhixuan fears them. Not that they can win, but at least they won’t lose!

Seeing Li Zhirui’s confidence, Li Yunchang’s worries also eased considerably.

“Alright, you have many tasks at hand, hurry back.”

With that, Li Zhirui vanished.

Returning to the cave mansion, he did not take the matter to heart, continuing his serene contemplation and understanding of the Laws.

On the other side, after leaving Mount Wanxian, Fu Ming did not return to the Cave Abyss Sect immediately but instead found a deserted barren mountain, waiting for the disciples dispatched to gather information to return.

There were indeed phenomena during the Li family’s divine enthronement that day, so some ‘passerby’ cultivators witnessed the entire process.

Fu Ming furrowed his brow looking at the news brought back by the crowd, muttering, “The Li family’s words weren’t modest? It’s actually problematic!”

“Forget it, let the elders worry about this problem, I’m just responsible for gathering information.”

The Spirit Boat ascended, speeding towards the Cave Abyss Sect.

A few hours later, Fu Ming presented the talisman and various information to the Sect Leader.

“With those two Star Gods assisting?”

After reading, the Sect Leader was uncertain as well, as no one knew what the outcome of a failed divine enthronement would be. If seriously severe, it would be another major blow to the recovering Cave Abyss Sect!

After some thought, the Sect Leader decided to proceed cautiously and said, “First, show these things to the elders, and also contact some divine entities to see if anyone is willing to help; if not, at least gather some information.”

“Understood!”

The crowd took action in different directions.

As one of the major forces in the Primal Spirit Realm, their connections were indeed broad, and soon several Divine entities with substantial cultivation were contacted.

Facing the topic of divine enthronement, they advised the Cave Abyss Sect best not to proceed, unless a higher-ranked divine entity was willing to pay the price for them. But when asked for specific reasons, they all avoided answering.

This attitude made the Sect Leader even more cautious, originally thinking of abandoning divine enthronement, but upon listening to a certain Elder’s words that seemed reasonable, or rather he still didn’t want to give up.

“Sect Leader, why not try it on a small scale first? If there are no issues, then proceed on a larger scale. If there are problems, it won’t implicate too widely, affecting the sect as a whole.”

Moreover, after the elders deduced the Heavenly Dao, they didn’t perceive any danger, further fueling his thoughts to give it a try.

Thus, the Sect Leader decided to start moving forward.

More than a thousand miles outside Mount Cave Abyss, he chose a place with only a dozen or so mountains and selected a group of Void Refinement and Integration disciples as those being deified.

“Are you ready?” The Sect Leader looked at Fu Yuan, the Elder who proposed testing.

“Everything is ready!”

Fu Yuan confidently stepped onto the altar, followed the procedures to offer sacrifices to the Heavenly Dao, and then asked for deification.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the plea for deification was spoken, a thunderbolt boomed overhead, and then everyone saw a blinding light, as a bolt of lightning struck down, engulfing Fu Yuan and those dozen being deified disciples.

“Failed!”
