In just half a month, the Demon War was about to break out. Li Xiaonan summoned several renowned artifact refining masters from the cultivation world, including Huang Yan, to learn from the craftsmen of the Underworld how to forge the Divine Dragon Cannon.
After two weeks of study, everyone gained a new understanding of the design and crafting of formations.
Huang Yan expressed her gratitude to Li Xiaonan, stroking the newly crafted Divine Dragon Cannon and smiling, "Thank you for calling me here, Xiao Nan."
Li Xiaonan paused his engraving of the formation and smiled back, "Master's Wife, why are you being so polite with me?"
Huang Yan was taken aback, a strange light flashing in her eyes as she lowered her head and asked, "Do you really consider me your Master's Wife?"
"Of course! Master's Wife, now that you've mastered the forging of the Divine Dragon Cannon, it's time for you to join the second line in the great battle. Besides, there's also Master and Senior Brother," Li Xiaonan suddenly suggested.
Huang Yan shook her head with a smile and sighed, "You’ve really grown up. I can't keep your Master in check, but I can still look after your Senior Brother. Don't worry."
Li Xiaonan furrowed his brow; he knew Yu Jizi's true nature well. He seemed erratic, but once it came to matters of national importance, he would undoubtedly rush to the front lines without hesitation.
But Master was about to Transcend Tribulation! How could he let him act recklessly?
"Master's Wife, what is Master's current cultivation level?"
"He's at the Late Stage of Tribulation. We don't know when Heavenly Tribulation will strike... Xiao Nan, don't worry. I will take good care of him. I won't let anything happen!" Huang Yan's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master's Wife. Please take care of yourself..."
Before he could finish speaking, a buzzing sound came from Li Xiaonan's pocket. He pulled out his Big Brother Phone and answered it, "Hello?"
On the other end of the Big Brother Phone, Ling Kui said urgently, "Xiao Nan, the rift has opened wide; the demons are invading..."
At that moment, a voice echoed from outside their bamboo house: "All cultivators prepare yourselves; the demon race is invading!"
Li Xiaonan sighed, feeling helpless. "The preparation time is too short..."
"Boom!" The war drums sounded as a row of Divine Dragon Cannons aimed at the crack, continuously firing brilliant artillery.
Huang Yan went to meet up with Yu Jizi, while Li Xiaonan naturally sought out his Wives. If he could, he would have stuffed them all into the Seven-Level Pagoda, but unfortunately, these girls were more stubborn than he imagined and insisted on fighting against the demon race alongside him.
"Chirp!" A familiar cry rang out; it was from Nine Phoenix. He looked up in a daze, only to see a little troublemaker suddenly plummeting from the sky, shouting, "Daddy!"
"Dog Egg?"
Damn! How did this kid get here? Doesn't he know how dangerous it is?
He caught the chubby boy in his arms and gave his little bottom a firm smack, scolding, "What are you doing here? You didn't listen again, did you..."
Li Dogdan pouted, looking wronged. "Peach said it's true! Daddy has a little sister now and doesn't love Dog Egg anymore. I came to help Grandma deliver pills out of kindness, and you hit me! Boo hoo hoo..." As he spoke, tears streamed down his face.
Li Xiaonan's heart ached. He quickly pulled Li Dogdan into his embrace and comforted him, "Who said Daddy doesn't love you? It's because I care about you that I don't want you here. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
Li Dogdan chuckled and wrapped his arms around Li Xiaonan's neck. "Daddy doesn't need to worry! Dog Egg is tough. You just hit me a little; it didn't hurt at all. They can't hurt me either! If any bad guys try to bully me, I'll eat them!"
"You're so tough now? You can just eat anyone?" Li Xiaonan raised an eyebrow, but his gaze remained fixed on the widening crack ahead.
"Yeah! Uncle Jin saw that I like to eat, so he taught me Swallowing Heaven. Now I can digest anything I eat, and I've got True Essence too! Look, Daddy!" He boasted while showing off the storage bracelet on his wrist, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand.
Li Xiaonan's eyes widened in surprise. He clearly sensed that when Li Dogdan opened the storage space, he didn't use True Essence Power or Ghost Energy but pure Celestial Energy!
Could this child be some kind of celestial beast? But why would a celestial beast descend to the mortal realm?
Forget it! No matter whose descendant he is, right now he is Li Xiaonan's son!
"Father!" Li Xiaobei exclaimed as she rushed towards Li Xiaonan, her face lighting up with joy. Li Xiaonan laughed heartily and scooped up his daughter in his arms.
It was truly a scene of a boy in one hand and a girl in the other... No, no! It should be a boy in the left hand and a girl in the right!
Li Dogdan took Li Xiaobei's hand and said, "I see my little sister again! She's even prettier now!"
Li Xiaobei blushed and shyly replied, "Brother Dog Egg, you've gotten fatter too! You look even more impressive!"
Listening to the exchange between his children, Li Xiaonan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
What does being fat have to do with being impressive?
No! That's not the point! The real issue is when did these two kids develop such strong feelings for each other? Could it be... could it be that they want to engage in incest?
No way! That absolutely cannot happen!
"Father, what are you thinking about? Look! Our mothers are so impressive!"
Li Xiaonan blinked in confusion as he followed Li Xiaobei's pointing finger. There stood his wives, each wielding a Divine Dragon Cannon, aiming at the demons spilling out from the cracks.
My calcium oxide! A bunch of tough women!
No! As a man, how can I let my Wives outshine me?
With a swift movement, nine copies of Li Xiaonan appeared in the air. At this moment, the leaves on the Spirit Tree within his Spirit Platform had reached eleven. Excluding the clone that had wandered off to cultivate somewhere, ten clones were his limit.
Holding his son and daughter, Li Xiaonan commanded the other nine, "Li Family Legion, assemble! Seven-Level Pagoda, go!"
The nine responded eagerly, giggling as they raised their nine Divine Dragon Cannons. They moved skillfully, targeting wherever the demons were most numerous while the Seven-Level Pagoda followed closely behind to pick up any advantages.
"Wow! Daddy is amazing! I want to have lots and lots of clones too!" Li Xiaobei exclaimed, jumping out of his embrace with a sweet smile.
She squatted on the ground, her face flushed with laughter, looking like she needed to go to the bathroom.
Li Xiaonan was about to smile and comfort her, but in the next moment, he was stunned—there were daughters everywhere!
This was the true power of the Shadow Clone Technique; there must be at least a hundred of them. Unfortunately, their cultivation level was only at the Late Stage of Heart Movement, which was a bit weak.
But considering Li Xiaobei's age, how old was she? The potential for her future was absolutely extraordinary!
Li Xiaonan awkwardly swallowed.
Then something even more outrageous happened. Li Dogdan looked at Li Xiaobei with envy and said, "Sister is so amazing; I'm not any less!"
He flew out of Li Xiaonan's arms, fixating on a demon with a hint of competition in his tone. "Daddy, look at me! I'm awesome too!"
Li Xiaonan turned to see Li Dogdan shout loudly, opening his mouth wide as he sucked in a Four-Winged Demon directly into his belly.
"Burp..." He happily let out a satisfied belch and grinned foolishly, looking just like his father at that moment.
Goodness! His pair of children were quite the handful!
But then again, who were they? It seemed he didn't need to worry too much about their safety. He turned to Nine Phoenix beside him and said, "Little Jiu, I'll leave these two kids to you. Don't let them get too far ahead; just have them pick off some small monsters from behind."
"Daddy, where are you going?" The two little ones asked in unison, holding hands.
Li Xiaonan smiled gently. "Daddy is going to find your mother. I'll be back soon. You two stay here and behave; it's dangerous up ahead."
The two children exchanged glances and nodded obediently, waving their little hands at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan lightly swayed and arrived at the front lines of the battle.
Lingyun was the first to notice Li Xiaonan, nodding excitedly, "Brother Li, you truly deliver on your promises! This Divine Dragon Cannon is incredible! I never imagined it was forged like this. My third disciple praised it endlessly when he returned! I wonder where you found such a master."
Can I say that it's not human?
Li Xiaonan smiled calmly and replied, "Brother Ling, you flatter me. How is the situation now?"
"It’s estimated that in about an hour, the rift will open wide, and the demon army will pour in through that gap. The scouts report that they are just some scattered demons, nothing to worry about," Duan Yu explained from the side.
Li Xiaonan nodded, his mind racing. His nine clones immediately raised the Divine Dragon Cannon, each taking position to aim at the rift.
Lingyun was taken aback, "This... this..."
"Oh, those are my brothers," Li Xiaonan said casually.
Lingyun twitched his mouth and replied, "That's not what I meant! The Divine Dragon Cannon has great power, but also great recoil. Won't it be dangerous to hold it like that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, one clone fired a shot, cursing loudly, "Damn it! This recoil is strong! Luckily, I have the Heavenly Gang Golden Body!"
The second clone immediately teased, "Look at your silly face! Can't you just put it down when firing?"
"What's the fun in that? It's way more exciting to hold it like a sniper rifle!" the third clone retorted.
The fourth clone chuckled coldly, "Violent thugs."
At that moment, Li Xiaonan felt a sense of mental disarray. He sighed helplessly and said to Lingyun, who was gaping in astonishment, "Brother Ling, I apologize for the spectacle."
"Master!" a Cultivator flew towards Lingyun, casting an awkward glance at Li Xiaonan. He leaned in to whisper something.
Lingyun interrupted, "We're all on the same side here; just speak your mind."
The disciple scratched his head and said, "The scattered demons shouldn't be wiped out..."
Lingyun laughed heartily, "That's a good thing! Why do you look so glum?"
"But... but we didn't manage to take down a single one..."
Lingyun furrowed his brow slightly. "Oh? During the Demon War, we should stand united. Where's all this talk of sect divisions coming from?"
The disciple seemed even more anxious. "Master... it's not about the sects... it's about Li Shao-Xia's family... they call themselves the Li Family Legion..."
A group of influential figures around them suddenly pierced through Li Xiaonan's thick skin with their intense gazes.
He chuckled awkwardly, "Heh heh... my wife and kids are quite troublesome... troublesome..."
"Boom!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly turned cold as dark cracks in the air emitted flickers of lightning, continuously widening. A well-trained Demon Army could be seen slowly emerging in perfect formation.
Li Xiaonan squinted his eyes, desperately searching for the leader of this army.
As long as it wasn't Fei Ji, he could handle anyone else! He would unleash a barrage of attacks! Even if he couldn't kill him, he would at least cripple him!
