Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Chen Family of White Mist Island
More than a thousand miles east of Mystic Moon Island, there lies a medium-sized island, shrouded in white fog year-round, known as White Mist Island.
The Chen Family is the Cultivation Family that guards this island.
In a cave at the foot of White Dragon Summit in the center of the island.
At this moment, two figures were conversing.
One old, one young, both dressed in blue Daoist robes.
The young man, in his twenties, was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, his expression exceedingly delicate.
"With this spirit beast, I am bound to be first in the Four Families' competition this time."
Chen Wuluo declared confidently.
"The Lu Family has lost several times in a row and will probably just make up the numbers again this time, Lu Qingqing is definitely no match for me."
The elder also coldly smiled, "Wait another thirty or so years for the old ghost of the Lu Family to die, and that Spiritual Peak will be ours."
"What about the other two families? They probably won't be content with the Chen Family monopolizing it."
Chen Wuluo was somewhat puzzled.
"Ancestor has his plans for this matter. As the Family's top Foundation Establishment Seed, you only need to focus on establishing your foundation."
The elder revealed a meaningful smile.
...
In the following days, except for his daily visits to the ancestor's cave to inscribe hidden runes on the Iron Pillar, Lu Li spent all his time meditating in his cave.
Time slowly passed, and soon it was a few days before the Four Families' competition.
This time, as the host, Lu Family, Lu Li had already received a message to set out early.
On this day, in the morning,
Lu Li stepped out of his cave and flew towards a location below Qingling Peak.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the edge of the venue, and he looked up.
At this point, several family cultivators were already sparsely standing in the center of the field.
Among them, two possessed the strongest aura, Third Aunt Lu Yuting and Clan elder Lu Hongchang.
Lu Yuting was dressed in a striking red dress that accentuated her voluptuous figure, extremely alluring.
Beside her, Great Uncle Lu Hongchang, with his hands behind his back, appeared utterly serene.
Seeing Lu Li approaching, he smiled warmly, "Li has arrived."
Lu Li stepped forward, smiling, "To think Great Uncle is leading us this time, aren't you staying on the mountain accompanying the Ancestor?"
"Ha ha..."
Lu Hongchang laughed heartily, "This old man's worn bones can still contribute to the family; that's a blessing."
Lu Li listened with admiration.
As a family elder, he had dedicated himself to the family for decades, still thinking of contributing even as his life was nearing its end—Lu Li admitted he couldn't do the same.
At that moment, Lu Yuting giggled mischievously, "Li, don't get beaten to death this time, or the Ancestor will be heartbroken."
Her entire upper body moved with the laughter, revealing her charm.
Lu Li, somewhat helpless, managed a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Third Aunt. I will be careful."
Out of everyone in the Lu Family, besides revering the Ancestor, he was most "afraid" of this Third Aunt.
Ever since he was young, she had always teased him for fun; it had almost become her hobby.
"Boring..."
Seeing Lu Li's stern demeanour, Lu Yuting shrugged and stopped talking.
Just then, two stunning women appeared at the end of the mountain path.
Both in white dresses, walking hand in hand—one looking lively, the other noble and cold.
It was Qing Qing and Yu Ling.
As Yu Ling grew up, her figure and beauty soared, earning her the name "Lu Family's Twin Pearls" within the family.
Upon seeing Lu Li, both nodded their heads with a smile.
After a short while, several other people arrived, including Lu Heng, the second brother.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off,"
Lu Hongchang spoke directly.
He then took out a white flying boat-shaped magic artifact.
The flying boat was only the size of a palm, emitting a silver glow all around, extremely magnificent.
Lu Hongchang tossed the flying boat upwards, then with the stimulation of his mana, the boat flew against the wind and swiftly transformed into a flying boat over twenty meters long.
"Everyone, come aboard."
Upon finishing his words, he flew towards the front of the flying boat, sat down cross-legged, and then placed a medium-grade spirit stone onto the pillar in front.
The crowd, upon seeing this, flew towards the flying boat.
Lu Li followed closely behind, finding a small room next to Lu Qingqing and sat down cross-legged.
This majestic miniature flying boat magic artifact was named the Silver Moon Flying Boat, which he had ridden several times before, known for its incredible speed.
The pillar at the head of the flying boat was the control hub, embedding a spirit stone would enable it to travel a thousand miles a day.
The body of the boat was also carved full of defensive arrays, capable of defending against some attacks from Qi Cultivation Demon Beasts; the Lu Family had only two such boats, the other was a medium-sized flying boat magic artifact passed down by ancestors.
Lu Li was meditating with his eyes closed when suddenly the telepathic message from Lu Qingqing reached his mind, her tone full of concern.
"Sixth brother, during this magic duel do not overexert yourself, if it's not feasible then concede immediately, it's normal for you, still young, not to match those who have cultivated for longer."
"I will be careful, fourth sister, you too must not be careless."
Lu Li nodded, feeling a bit of warmth in his heart.
The flying boat was very fast, and in just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they reached their destination.
Everyone disembarked from the flying boat, and Lu Hongchang led everyone flying towards the center of the deserted island below.
This island was a tiny deserted island, located thirty miles to the east of Mystic Moon Island.
The island was strewn with rocks everywhere, appearing bald and barren, and had always served as the ground for the Lu Family and three others to conduct their magic duels.
In the center of the deserted island was a man-made platform.
The platform was tens of meters long and wide, the ground specially treated to be very sturdy, surrounded by protective arrays.
Before long, under Lu Hongchang's lead, everyone arrived at the east side of the platform and stopped.
"The magic duel is two days away, meditate here for now."
Lu Hongchang's voice was loud and clear as he led by example and sat down cross-legged.
Lu Li also found a spot at the edge, next to Lu Yuling and Lu Qingqing, and sat down cross-legged.
Lu Yuting, seeing this, also came to sit on the ground next to the three, and then somewhat mysteriously started a telepathic conversation.
"Li, has the ancestor given you any backup plans?"
During this period, every time she visited the ancestor, she felt that he was very confident, and finally she could not help but ask.
Lu Li responded with a slight smile, "There is a backup plan..."
"What is it, let's hear it."
Lu Yuting looked at him curiously.
"That is relying on the skills of a youngster to sweep the opponents away..."
"Hmph... don't say it then, but if I find out later, you will regret it..."
Lu Yuting glanced at Lu Li disapprovingly, then ground her teeth and threatened.
Lu Li felt a bit helpless inside, now that telling the truth was too doubtful.
...
Time slowly passed, and soon it was the day of the magic duel.
Early morning.
The early sun rose, casting a golden radiance over the entire sea area, causing dazzling ripples on the surface of the sea.
"Boom..."
Lu Li was sitting on the ground when suddenly he heard rumbling sounds of sonic booms in front of him.
He looked up only to see three small flying boats quickly flying towards the deserted island.
In just a few breaths, they stopped above the small island.
Shortly after, a large group of cultivators descended from the three flying boats.
Soon the whole area became bustling.
A crowd of people grandly flew towards the ground, with each family choosing a position to sit down cross-legged.
