Shen Qingyue's interest was piqued as she asked, "Chen Li, quickly tell me, what is the method?"
Chen Li smiled mysteriously and leaned closer to Shen Qingyue, whispering a few words in her ear.
After listening, Shen Qingyue's eyes lit up with excitement. "Chen Li, your method is brilliant! How did I not think of it?"
"Hehe, this is something I’ve been pondering for five years," Chen Li said proudly, raising an eyebrow. "Alright, let’s get started!"
"Okay!" Shen Qingyue nodded. The two of them took their positions, ready to begin.
Chen Li took a deep breath and began tossing the yellow talismans into the air one by one, chanting incantations as he did so.
As his spell echoed through the air, the talismans ignited spontaneously, creating streaks of golden light that danced within the Spiritual Vein.
Boom!
A loud explosion reverberated as the entire Spiritual Vein trembled violently, resembling an earthquake. The surrounding trees swayed uncontrollably.
"Quick, Yue'er! Use your Ice Power to freeze this Spiritual Vein!" Chen Li shouted.
"Got it!" Shen Qingyue responded. She formed hand seals, and a terrifying chill erupted from her body, instantly enveloping the entire courtyard in a winter wonderland.
The once shimmering Spiritual Vein began to freeze at a visible rate, quickly transforming into a crystal-clear ice river!
"Now!" Chen Li exclaimed as a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Rumbling...
The ice river slowly lifted off the ground, radiating an intense cold as it flew towards Chen Li!
A playful smirk appeared on Chen Li's lips as he raised his hands sharply.
"Rise!"
The frozen Spiritual Vein was forcibly pulled from the ground!
"Impressive! No wonder you are the brother of the Emperor!" Shen Qingyue marveled at the astonishing scene before her.
This Spiritual Vein was at least ten zhang long and was effortlessly lifted by Chen Li!
"Not bad!"
"Hehe, just a small trick; nothing to boast about," Chen Li said casually while smiling happily.
He carefully controlled the Spiritual Vein and slowly stored it in his storage bag. Although the bag given by his mother wasn’t particularly impressive, it was still capable of holding a Spiritual Vein.
"Chen Li, what do we do next?" Shen Qingyue asked curiously, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Chen Li smiled mysteriously but did not answer directly. Instead, he pointed to the pile of secret manuals that resembled a small mountain and suggested they collect these treasures first.
Shen Qingyue immediately understood, and together they stored all the Spiritual Veins into their storage space.
After finishing this, Chen Li clapped his hands, looked at the empty courtyard, and a wicked smile crept onto his lips.
Meanwhile, in the Council Hall of the Wuding Marquisate.
What’s going on? Why did an earthquake occur?! Wuding Marquis Chen Yuantu suddenly stood up, his face dark with anger as he shouted.
Marquis, I don’t know either!
Useless! All of you are useless! Chen Yuantu was seething with rage and smashed the table beside him into pieces with a slap. If you can’t even handle this small matter, what good are you?!
After saying this, Chen Yuantu vanished from his spot in an instant.
It was as if he had sensed something; his expression turned grim.
You beasts! How dare you steal my Spiritual Veins from the Wuding Marquisate! You’re seeking death!
Just as Chen Li and Shen Qingyue had blown open the last Talisman to shatter the void barrier and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a powerful pressure descended upon them like a tidal wave.
Chen Li was startled; it came so quickly!
This aura clearly belonged to their Scumbag Dad, Wuding Marquis Chen Yuantu!
As soon as they looked up, they saw Chen Yuantu's figure appear in the center of the courtyard like a ghost.
His face was ashen, and his eyes were bloodshot, resembling an enraged lion.
You ungrateful wretches! How dare you steal my Spiritual Veins from the Wuding Marquisate! Chen Yuantu roared, his voice filled with overwhelming fury that made the entire courtyard tremble.
Chen Li's heart sank; this was bad. Unable to hold back, he argued, What do you mean by Wuding Marquis’ Spiritual Veins? Don’t forget that these Spiritual Veins were borrowed from the Shen Family!
However, it was too late.
A hand imbued with immense power came crashing down toward Chen Li with unstoppable force.
Chen Li, be careful! Shen Qingyue exclaimed in alarm. With a wave of her delicate hand, an ice wall instantly formed before Chen Li.
Boom!
With a loud crash, ice shards flew everywhere as the ice wall was shattered by Chen Yuantu's palm!
Chen Li felt an overwhelming force hit him; he coughed up blood as his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string and crashed to the ground.
Chen Li! Shen Qingyue's face changed dramatically at the sight. She rushed to his side and helped him up, asking with concern, Are you okay?
Chen Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced a bitter smile as he shook his head. I'm fine; I won't die.
"You two little brats, I truly underestimated you!" Chen Yuantu seethed, gritting his teeth. "I will strip you of your cultivation and see how you escape from my grasp!"
Struggling to stand, Chen Li looked at the furious Chen Yuantu before him, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "With you? You think you're worthy?"
"Seeking death!" Chen Yuantu's anger flared even more at those words, and he struck again.
This time, his attack was even more ferocious. The wind from his palm howled like a raging storm, sweeping toward Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
"Frozen for a thousand miles!" Shen Qingyue shouted, quickly forming hand seals. A terrifying chill erupted from her body, instantly turning the entire courtyard into a frozen wasteland.
However, facing Chen Yuantu's assault, this icy expanse was as fragile as paper, torn apart in an instant.
"Foolish!" Chen Yuantu snorted coldly, his figure darting through the snow like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he was before Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
His fingers curled into claws as he aimed for Chen Li's chest. If that claw connected, even if Chen Li didn't die, he would be severely injured!
"Chen Li!" Shen Qingyue cried out in alarm, wanting to intervene but realizing it was too late.
"Hmph, die for me!" Chen Yuantu sneered, envisioning the scene of Chen Li being crushed by his claw.
However, just as his deadly claw was about to make contact with Chen Li's chest, an unexpected change occurred!
Buzz!
A dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from within Chen Li, enveloping him entirely.
What?! Seeing this, Chen Yuantu's expression changed drastically as an ominous feeling surged within him.
Roar!
A thunderous dragon roar emanated from the golden light, echoing through the skies and shaking the entire Wuding Marquisate!
In the next moment, that golden light transformed into a massive Golden Divine Dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it roared toward Chen Yuantu!
Chen Yuantu's face turned pale at this sight, disbelief filling his eyes.
How is this possible?! How could you have a Dragon Soul within you?!
The aura of this Dragon Soul was unmistakably identical to that which had once triggered the heavenly tribulation.
An incredible thought abruptly flashed through his mind.
No! Even if you two are the Holy Sons of Innate Fortune, I will still destroy you and extract your fortune bones!
