"Master, what do you mean by this?"
Shangguan Yourong's voice was trembling because she was too shocked.
"Li Lingge broke through to the Immortal Lord realm and broke the meridian-sealing curse cast by the nine imperial clans, causing them to suffer a backlash."
Buzz!
Shangguan Yourong’s words kept floating in Li Ping’an’s mind, but he found it a little hard to believe.
It's not his fault; it all happened too suddenly.
"Isn't the ancestor already... dead?"
Although he didn't believe that the ancestor was dead at first, three days passed and the ancestor still didn't show up.
This made him gradually waver from his initial disbelief.
If the ancestor was really still alive, how could he not be able to contact the ancestor through the divine spirit formation.
Shangguan Yourong recalled the scene in which Li Lingge forcefully fed him the immortal essence, and murmured.
"How could he die so easily?"
"But... I remember Master said that the spiritual energy of the Jiuli Realm is simply not enough to support the birth of an Immortal Lord—"
Li Pingan suddenly stopped talking halfway because he thought of a possibility - Heaven Beyond Heaven!
The ancestor entered the Heaven Beyond Heaven and, with the help of the spiritual energy of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, broke through to the realm of Immortal King!
The other side.
Emperor Zhao Tian's face was filled with fear and despair. He was really afraid that he would die in the backlash like Emperor Sun Tian.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have cast the meridian-sealing curse on the Li family. Emperor Li, please spare my life!"
At the same time, Emperor Wu Tian, Emperor Zhou Tian, and Emperor Qian Tian, like Emperor Zhao Tian, all knelt in mid-air and kowtowed towards the Li family ancestral temple to confess their guilt.
Their faces were also filled with fear and despair, and their bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
"Yes, we know we were wrong."
"This is all the fault of our ancestors a hundred thousand years ago. It has nothing to do with us!"
"We are only following the instructions of our ancestors. Our crime does not deserve death!"
The four Heavenly Emperors knelt on the ground with a look of piety on their faces admitting their mistakes, which instantly shocked everyone so much that their jaws dropped to the ground.
Those who had been defending the emperors of the imperial clan before suddenly became like eggplants hit by frost.
"The nine great imperial clans actually did such a thing!"
"You can only know a person's face but not his heart!"
"No wonder the Li family hasn't had a Great Emperor in the past 100,000 years since Li Lingge left. It turns out someone placed a meridian-sealing curse on them."
"Li Lingge guarded the Imperial Pass for the human race, yet the nine imperial clans treated his people this way."
Listening to the condemnation of the nine imperial clans, Luo Li snorted coldly, feeling it was hypocritical.
The Li family was under siege, and these people stood aside to watch the show, all wanting to wait for the formation to be broken so that they could take advantage of the situation.
She had experienced genocide and naturally knew the horror of human nature.
These people are like hyenas. Once they find that you have lost the ability to resist, they will swarm you.
It was not until this moment that the Li family gradually realized that something was wrong.
"What is the meridian-sealing spell?"
Things had come to this point, and Li Ping'an immediately explained the function of the meridian-sealing spell.
After hearing his explanation, everyone in the Li family was filled with indignation.
"The nine great imperial clans actually placed such a vicious curse on us?!"
"No wonder I can't break through to the Great Emperor Realm. It turns out it's because of the Meridian Sealing Curse."
"It might be possible, Clan Leader. The fact that you haven't broken through to the Great Emperor Realm from the Heavenly Monarch Realm is not due to the Meridian Sealing Curse at all."
What Li Ping'an said was so shocking that the Great Elder didn't know whether to be shocked or angry.
The nine great imperial clans had actually placed a meridian-sealing curse on the Li family one hundred thousand years ago!
"Our ancestors have guarded the Imperial Pass for a hundred thousand years. One hundred thousand of our ancestors died fighting at the Imperial Pass, all to protect you beasts!"
The Great Elder shed tears with every word he said, and felt that the Li family's 100,000 years of protection was simply a joke.
Li Chonglou stood there as if struck by lightning, as if petrified.
At this moment, he suddenly recalled the three words "sealing meridians curse" mentioned by his ancestor when he returned to the clan.
He didn't take it too seriously at the time, but now thinking back, the ancestor had already noticed that everyone in the clan had been placed under a meridian-sealing curse.
It turned out that the ancestor's murderous intent at that time was not only because of the betrayal by the imperial family, but also because he was completely chilled by the viciousness of the imperial family.
Snap——
At this moment, a crisp cracking sound was heard inside Li Ping'an's body.
The sound was not loud, but it was so clear in Li Ping'an's ears.
He shuddered all over, as if some heavy shackles were torn apart from the depths of his soul.
"The meridian-sealing curse is really...broken?"
The curse mark on his spiritual root was disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into dots of fluorescent light and dissipating.
At this moment, the Great Elder also exclaimed.
"Why do I feel like my spiritual roots seem to be different!"
He tried to circulate his spiritual power, but found that the meridians that were originally blocked were now unobstructed, and his spiritual power was surging like a river, without any hindrance.
It felt like the blindfolded eyes suddenly saw the light again, and the bound feet suddenly became free.
"It's not an illusion! It's really different!"
More and more members of the Li family began to try to circulate their spiritual power, and expressions of ecstasy gradually appeared on their faces.
For a hundred thousand years, the Li family's spiritual roots have been suppressed by the meridian-sealing curse, and their cultivation speed has been several times slower than that of ordinary people. Many people are even unable to break through the realm in their entire lives.
However, at this moment, that feeling of oppression completely disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of relief.
Li Ping'an walked to Li Chonglou's side and whispered.
"Father, it is said that in order to break the meridian-sealing curse, someone in the clan must break through to the Immortal Lord realm, so—"
