597: Good times

After returning to the Immortal Martial God Sect, Li Qi's days returned to tranquility; he spent every day with his family, enjoying flowers and drinking tea, as if all those troubles had already faded away from him.

"Daddy, I know what this Great Dao Text means!"

Li Si Rong came bounding over from afar, holding the dao traces divine stone in her hand as she spoke to Li Qi.

Li Qi, who was chatting with Xiao Ruochen, smiled faintly and took the opportunity to ask.

"Oh? Then what character is this?"

Li Si Rong pointed to the Great Dao Text on the Divine Stone and said in a soft, childish voice, "This is a... 'Realm' character!"

Li Qi and Xiao Ruochen both laughed; it was obvious that the little girl had gotten it right.

And Li Qi continued to test her: "Then tell me, Rongrong, what does this character... mean?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Si Rong slowly replied: "It has two meanings."

"Let's hear them."

After clearing her throat, Li Si Rong slowly replied: "First, it means Realm, which refers to the extent reached in thought, art, and knowledge, speaking to the depth of one's attainments and the height of one's level."

"Second, it refers to Environment, meaning the surrounding natural conditions, or perhaps social situations, describing the actual scenery around one."

Li Qi clapped his hands in admiration and scooped the little girl up: "My Rongrong is truly smart; you said that perfectly."

As Li Si Rong was pulled into Li Qi's embrace, the little girl wore a proud expression, her small head held high, looking as if she were saying, 'Hurry up and praise me.'

It had been a month since Li Qi returned to the Immortal Martial God Sect. During this month, neither Li Qi nor Phoenix Lord had guided Li Si Rong, and Xiao Ruochen had also been busy comprehending the Hundred-Page Golden Book that Li Qi had given him, so he hadn't guided Li Si Rong either.

On ordinary days, they just let Li Si Rong play with the dao traces divine stone on her own; they hadn't expected that this little girl could actually comprehend the meaning of the Great Dao Text from it.

To be able to comprehend the meaning of a Great Dao Text while at the Harmony Realm was already far beyond the limits achievable at this level.

Even if it were Li Qi himself, he couldn't guarantee that he would have been able to comprehend the accurate meaning of a Great Dao Text while he was at the Harmony Realm.

From this, it was clear... Li Si Rong's talent was truly extraordinary.

Sometimes, Li Qi would wonder if his System had been passed down to his daughter, because the speed at which his daughter's strength increased was truly terrifying.

But after observing her for a while, he dismissed this thought.

Li Si Rong didn't go around collecting creation crystal stones, nor did she sneak out to kill people; there were no signs of her collecting Potential Points...

She had truly achieved this through her own talent and brilliance.

After praising Li Si Rong in his arms a few times, Li Qi continued: "Rongrong, although what you just said was very good, you still didn't cover everything..."

"This 'Realm' character... actually has a third meaning."

"Third, it refers to Situation, which is the state in which an individual or a group of people finds themselves."

Li Si Rong wrinkled her little nose, seemingly annoyed that she hadn't figured out all the meanings of this Great Dao Text, and said gloomily: "Alright, I know now."

This appearance truly made Li Qi and Xiao Ruochen laugh.

Li Qi shook his head slightly, unable to help but smile; although Li Si Rong's understanding of this Great Dao Text wasn't comprehensive, it was still quite good.

When many Dao Source Realm powerhouses were comprehending the meanings of Great Dao Texts, let alone grasping all the meanings, it was already quite good if they could do so without ambiguity.

The Daos that many Dao Source Realm powerhouses comprehended all had more or less deviations, and for some where the deviations were too great, they even developed problems while Cultivating the Three Thousand Great Daos.

After giving Li Si Rong a few pointers, Li Qi took out a few more dao traces divine stones and placed them in her small hands: "Alright, alright, Daddy will give you a few more, take them and go play."

The dao traces divine stones, which were exceptionally precious in the Source Realm, were just toys for coaxing children in Li Qi's hands; he would pull out a handful at a time.

After getting her hands on a few more dao traces divine stones, Li Si Rong ran off happily to play.

Li Qi then looked at Xiao Ruochen and asked: "Revered Master, how are you coming along with the comprehension of those Three Thousand Great Daos?"

"It's going alright; with a bit more time, I will also be able to comprehend one of the Three Thousand Great Daos and become a Dao Ancestor."

Seeing that things were progressing smoothly on Xiao Ruochen's side, Li Qi felt relieved.

Although Xiao Ruochen hadn't yet managed to comprehend a Three Thousand Great Dao, as for Phoenix Lord, she had already successfully mastered one of the Three Thousand Great Daos and become a Dao Ancestor.

After Li Qi returned, he spent more than half his time keeping Phoenix Lord company, and even guided her hand-in-hand in her practice of the Three Thousand Great Daos, with her progress advancing by leaps and bounds.

The first of the Three Thousand Great Daos that Phoenix Lord learned was the [Divine Travel Dao], which was also the first of the Three Thousand Great Daos that Li Qi had mastered.

The [Divine Travel Dao] was very useful; it could boost the practitioner's movement speed to the limit, making even crossing the Star Domain a trivial matter.

Being able to run faster never hurt.

Whether it was chasing down enemies or breaking out to escape, it was very useful and could greatly increase Phoenix Lord's chances of survival.

This was also the main reason why Li Qi strongly recommended that Phoenix Lord learn this Three Thousand Great Dao first.

And after successfully mastering one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, Phoenix Lord had vaguely found the trick to it, and in her subsequent practice, she had become even faster...
