Cang Li accidentally transmigrated. Upon opening her eyes, she faced an open-air "grand villa," a gift from nature—a torrential downpour—and five hungry younger siblings, all while bein...
Chapter 115 As expected, Cang Li was all smiles…
Cang Li's face lit up with joy. He took Tai Qing's arm and flew away, but stopped after only a few steps, scratching his head and asking Tai Qing:
"Master, where is the Wuzhuang Temple?"
Tai cleaned the stray hairs by Cang Li's ear and said, "I'll take you there."
He then took control of the cloud-riding device and flew towards the Wuzhuang Temple.
Zhen Yuanzi is incredibly powerful, wielding the Earth Book, making him virtually untouchable. In recent years, his temper has worsened as he searches for Hongyun's remnant soul.
When Cang Li and Tai Qing arrived at the entrance of Wuzhuang Temple, the two pretty young boys looked at each other and said to Cang Li, "Master is not here."
"Not here? Where did he go?"
Qingfeng Mingyue said impatiently, "I don't know, let's go."
Cang Li said in a good-natured manner:
"When he comes back, remember to tell him that Cang Li of the human race has something important to discuss with him."
Mingyue paused for a moment and asked in return, "Are you Cangli?"
Cang Li nodded, and Qingfeng and Mingyue exchanged a glance. Qingfeng said to Cang Li:
"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency, while I go and inform them."
Cang Li: ?
Cang Li laughed in exasperation. So it wasn't that he wasn't here, but that he wasn't receiving guests.
Mingyue scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Please don't be offended, Venerable One. It's just that Master is tired of the strife outside, so he instructed us to say that he is not here if anyone comes looking for him. However, Master also instructed us to announce our arrival immediately if it is Venerable One who comes."
Cang Li waved his hand: "I didn't mean to blame you."
Even if she's stingy, she wouldn't blame the two children.
Every now and then a gentle breeze would appear: "Venerable One, come with me!"
Cang Li followed him inside, and Tai Qing naturally followed as well. Only when Tai Qing moved did Qing Feng and Ming Yue notice him and hurriedly asked, "Who is this?"
"This? Me... a prospective Daoist partner."
Cang Li thought for a moment and then spoke directly.
Taiqing paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Cangli, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face, clearly in a very pleasant mood.
Qingfeng Mingyue's eyes widened: "You have a cultivation partner!?"
Cang Li: "Prospective Daoist Couple! Prospective Daoist Couple! Not officially Daoist Couple yet. Hey, you two kids, stop being so gossipy. Let's go, I'm in a hurry."
The gentle breeze and bright moon kept stealing glances at Taiqing, full of curiosity.
As soon as the group reached the backyard, Zhen Yuanzi hurriedly came out to greet them. He had just come to his senses and realized that Taiqing had arrived, so he rushed out to welcome him.
"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, please come and sit down."
Then he looked at Cang Li, sized him up, and nodded in satisfaction:
"Not bad, not bad, Cang Li's cultivation has improved."
Cang Li pulled Tai Qing down to sit and said to Zhen Yuanzi:
"Master, let's skip the formalities, I need to talk to you."
Zhen Yuanzi sat down and ordered Qingfeng and Mingyue to fetch some ginseng fruits to serve his guests. Only then did he say to Cang Li:
"What's up?"
Cang Li took out Hong Yun's remnant soul: "This is it. I just came from the Netherworld Blood Sea. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Hong Yun to be trapped in the Blood Sea all this time."
As he spoke, Cang Li became depressed.
Zhen Yuanzi, somewhat flustered, took Hongyun's remnant soul and said, "So that's how it is! A few remnants of Hongyun's soul drifted here before, but I couldn't find the rest. It turns out they were trapped in the sea of blood!"
No wonder he couldn't find it. It's also his fault for going to the Netherworld Blood Sea without noticing Hongyun's presence before leaving. He should have turned the Netherworld Blood Sea upside down!
Cang Li looked at Zhen Yuanzi in surprise: "Great Immortal, are you saying that Hongyun's remaining remnant soul is with you?"
Zhen Yuanzi nodded, carefully took out the Soul Gathering Bottle, put the remnant soul inside, and revealed a rare smile as he said to Cang Li:
"Over the years, I have felt guilty for not keeping a close eye on Hongyun. Knowing that he possessed a great treasure, I still let him go out. It is truly fortunate that we were able to find his soul now."
Zhen Yuanzi sounded very pleased. They, as cultivators in the early prehistoric era, had many methods. With a complete soul, he could help Hongyun rebuild his cultivation.
Cang Li was also very happy: "I am also very grateful to Fellow Daoist Hongyun. The things he gave me have helped me a lot!"
Zhen Yuanzi laughed heartily. Qingfeng and Mingyue brought over six ginseng fruits. Zhen Yuanzi pushed the ginseng fruits in front of Cang Li and said:
"Try it, this fruit can't be found anywhere else."
Cang Li knew, of course. It was the ginseng fruit, the one that Pigsy couldn't taste.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Cang Li took a fruit and began to nibble on it. It tasted quite good, and after eating it, pure spiritual energy flowed through his meridians. For a cultivator with low cultivation level, this fruit would be of great help, but for Cang Li, it was better than nothing.
Zhen Yuanzi was in a good mood and saw that Cang Li was eating happily, so he said:
"If you like, you can take a few more with you later. I've saved up quite a few over the years, so I'll give them to you to eat."
Cang Li accepted everything offered, even though it was of little use to her; it was fine as a snack.
After spending half a day at Wuzhuang Temple, Cangli got up to take her leave. With Hongyun's remnant soul delivered, she felt relieved. She would then nurture Hongyun's Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and Hongmeng Holy Sword and return them to Hongyun when he returned, as a way of repaying Hongyun for his kindness in giving her the gifts.
Zhen Yuanzi personally saw the two off at the door, saying, "Come visit more often when you have time."
Cang Li casually agreed. Tai Qing glanced at Zhen Yuanzi and, seeing Cang Li teasing Qingfeng and Mingyue ahead, said to Zhen Yuanzi:
"Hongyun's opportunity lies with the human race. Now that the Six Paths of Reincarnation are beginning to appear, it would be better to nurture his soul and send him into reincarnation."
Zhen Yuanzi seemed to be deep in thought, then bowed to Taiqing and said, "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist."
Taiqing nodded slightly and walked to Cangli's side: "Let's go."
Cang Li had heard Tai Qing's words. Just as Tai Qing finished speaking, her previously dormant shop beeped. Cang Li instinctively pulled up the page and glanced at it; the herbal medicine guide, which had been previously unavailable for exchange, was now available. A thought struck Cang Li, and she said to Zhen Yuanzi:
"Great Immortal, if you're going to send Fellow Daoist Hongyun to reincarnation later, remember to let me know. I have something to give him."
Zhen Yuanzi readily agreed, and Cang Li and Tai Qing left Wuzhuang Temple together, heading straight for the human cave.
She hadn't been back for a long time. Although Ji, Jie, Zhong, and Yu were guarding the human race, Cang Li was still worried.
The journey back was relatively quick; in less than half a day, the two arrived at the human realm and landed in a cave.
In the past two years, the human tribe around the cave seems to have returned to its former tranquility. People are busy working in the fields, and children are crawling around on the ground, creating a peaceful scene.
This was clearly the scene Cang Li had hoped to see, yet Cang Li felt somewhat melancholy, as if those who died in that massacre had been forgotten.
Cang Li quickly cheered up. It was alright; it was good that the human race was full of vitality and hope for life. It was better than being despondent.
But then again, aren't there too many children? And she saw many pregnant women with big bellies.
Cang Li scratched his head. Could it be because of the Six Paths of Reincarnation that more people are being reincarnated? That's why more humans are having children.
Taiqing waved his hand in front of Cangli and said:
"Snap out of it."
Cang Li snapped out of her daze, cleared her mind of the jumbled thoughts, and went straight to the cave.
Jie was overjoyed to see Cang Li return from the cave and immediately hugged him.
"Sister! You're back?"
Cang Li nodded: "You're back. Are there any people left?"
Jie said, "The man went to the area of Leize, I went to the south, and the others went to the east. We each guarded the human race."
Cang Li said with a smile, "Then you don't need to stay and guard the human race anymore. The biggest crisis for the human race is gone."
Knowing that the liches were gone, the human race was naturally no longer in danger. Jie then asked, "Sister, how are you?"
Cang Li sighed, getting anxious:
"Sister! Has something happened to Er? He's been in the demon realm for so long and hasn't come back. Has something really happened to him?"
Cang Li hurriedly said:
"It's alright, he's fine. I asked him to come back, but he insisted on becoming the ruler of the Heavenly Court. I couldn't force him to come back, so I just let him go. If you're worried, you can go to the Heavenly Court to find him."
Er acted swiftly. In the few days that Cang Li was away, Er announced the establishment of the Heavenly Court, recruited talented individuals, and meticulously established a series of systems.
The name of the Heavenly Court spread throughout the prehistoric world, but it did not recruit many people. After the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, all the cultivators with cultivation levels above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level went into seclusion, and the demon race also hid in the deep mountains. The Heavenly Court only had about a dozen immortals.
Er was very worried about this and thought about finding some people in the human race with decent cultivation levels so that they could cultivate to the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal and then ascend to the Heavenly Court to take up a post.
Furthermore, the primordial land is teeming with ferocious beasts, all of which should fall under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court.
When Er was worrying, Heaven issued a decree, officially recognizing the status of the Heavenly Court and solemnly declaring that the Heavenly Court governs the Three Realms and assumes the responsibility of protection.
Jie breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Cang Li's words: "It's good that you're alright. That kid has always been cunning. When the others come back, we'll go to the Heavenly Court together."
Cang Li nodded: "Okay, you guys go ahead and see if Er needs any help."
After speaking, Cang Li pondered for a moment and then asked, "Are there a lot of newborns among the human race lately?"
Jie nodded: "Yes, there are many. Almost every day, many children are born. By the way, a couple of days ago, someone sent me a message saying that Hua Xu gave birth to a child in Lei Ze."
Cang Li was somewhat surprised: "Hua Xu?"
In her memory, Hua Xu was still a little girl, but it's been more than 20 years, so it seems normal for Hua Xu to have a child.
Cang Li had a sudden thought and decided to go. Anyway, she was going to look for her uncle's reincarnation and would visit various tribes sooner or later.
Two days later, Ji, Zhong, and Yu returned. They were all very happy to see Cang Li. They had been worried about Cang Li's condition for many days. Now that they saw that Cang Li had returned to normal, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After spending a few days with Cang Li in the human race, the four of them discussed it and then bid farewell to Cang Li before heading to the Heavenly Court.
After the four left, Cang Li saw that the people in the tribe were all fine, so he took Tai Qing to Leize.
Under Hua Xu's leadership, the human tribes in Lei Ze overcame one difficulty after another and grew stronger, making them arguably the most powerful tribe among all human tribes.
As the leader of the Leize tribe, Huaxu led her people to change the environment of Leize, making it more habitable. After two days of cultivation, they obtained food for survival with their own hands. Neither of the two major disasters could harm the Leize tribe, and the surrounding small tribes spontaneously attached themselves to the Leize tribe.
After Cang Li arrived, he went straight to find Hua Xu.
Hua Xu was overjoyed to see Cang Li, as she hadn't seen him for several years.
"Great Chief!"
Just like when she was a child, Hua Xu rushed into Cang Li's arms and hugged him tightly: "Great Chief, why are you here? If you have something to say, just send someone to deliver a message and I'll come see you!"
Cang Li patted Hua Xu's head: "I heard you had a child, so I came to see you."
Hua Xu, somewhat embarrassed, released Cang Li, turned around, went to the bed, and brought a child over to show Cang Li:
“Great Chief, look, this is my son. When he was born, a name popped into my head, and that’s his name.”
“Call him Fuxi.”
