137: The porridge is dry.

On the other side, Li Haotian and Li Xiantian left the Tongtian Gate and found a barren island to start inventorying their spoils.

Li Xiantian asked in surprise, "Grandfather, are the resources of major sects always this abundant?"

Li Haotian laughed and said, "This is probably just a portion of their resources. It's impossible for the Tongtian Gate to have only this one base. They should have quite a few branch divisions and hidden sects as well."

There's no need to mention branch divisions; take the Luoxia Merchant Guild's previous operating model, for example, they were present in almost every major market city.

Hidden sects are the concealed parts; everyone knows the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Powerful sects like the Tongtian Gate are naturally no exception. Even if they were annihilated, even if they couldn't recover their original peak strength, they could recover fifty to sixty percent of their vitality.

As long as the Tongtian Gate still exists, the resources controlled within the sect will not fall into the hands of others, nor will they be seized by other major powers. Recovery won't be too difficult.

Li Xiantian couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "That's amazing. I wonder when our Li Family will be this powerful, sigh."

Li Haotian couldn't help but laugh and say, "Our Li Family is also very powerful! With you and me as peak combatants, plus the resources within the family, it's no less than theirs."

What Li Haotian said was true. Although Li Xiantian's cultivation was only at the Great Ascension peak, he was only one step away from crossing the Celestial Tribulation. If Li Haotian focused on nurturing him, he could quickly cultivate an Earth Immortal expert.

Not just Li Xiantian, but the other members of the Li Family were also the same.

Furthermore, Li Haotian had quite a lot of spiritual origin crystals and immortal spirit crystals in his hands. It would be very easy to cultivate a few cultivators who could cross the Celestial Tribulation.

Speaking of resources, the Tongtian Gate only had three types of Immortal World resources. Besides that, there were hundreds of thousands of spiritual origin crystals, but not a single immortal spirit crystal.

According to Li Haotian, these resources weren't even as much as his personal wealth.

Li Xiantian nodded and said, "With Grandfather in our Li Family, how could we not rise up? Hehehe."

The spirit cat Mu Mu beside him rolled its eyes, looking at Li Xiantian as if he were an idiot, making Li Xiantian's scalp tingle.

"Um, Senior Mu Mu, why are you looking at me like that?"

Mu Mu shook its head and said, "Meow, it's nothing. I just think you're silly."

After speaking, its paw swatted at Little Ice, who was trying to crawl away.

Li Haotian hadn't expected that as soon as they met, Mu Mu would ask Li Haotian to heal Little Ice, and then Little Ice became Mu Mu's toy.

Lying there pretending to be a corpse didn't work, and trying to avoid Mu Mu didn't work either, which made Little Ice feel very desperate.

Several times it pleaded for help from Li Xiantian, but Li Xiantian showed a helpless expression.

Back on Luoxia Island, he had seen Mu Mu was very beautiful, but every time he wanted to play with it, he would be severely beaten up by Mu Mu.

Within the same realm, Mu Mu was basically an invincible existence because this guy was too fast. By the time he realized it, he had already been beaten, and he was still a little afraid of Mu Mu now.

Suddenly, Li Xiantian seemed to think of something and looked at Li Haotian.

"Grandfather, don't you need to give me an explanation about the family's matter?"

Li Haotian looked at the sky and nodded slightly, "Hmm, it's getting dark. Time flies without realizing it. Oh dear, the porridge I was cooking is about to dry out. Mu Mu, let's hurry back."

Upon hearing this, Mu Mu instantly disappeared with Li Haotian, leaving only a ring on the ground, and a sentence was transmitted.

"Grandson, I think it's better for you to train on your own. Your cultivation will improve faster, and you can obtain a large amount of resources."

"I already told you to come back as soon as possible back then, but you didn't come back. Now, find your way home yourself. If you can find it, come back. If you can't, just stay outside."

Li Xiantian fell silent. He knew that not returning back then had disappointed Li Haotian greatly, otherwise, Li Haotian wouldn't have treated him like that.

Similarly, Li Haotian was very good to him and might have been keeping an eye on him at all times, otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared to save him when he was in the greatest danger.

Looking at the storage ring on the ground, Li Xiantian couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely find my way back. I won't disappoint you."

If he knew that the Li Family was already floating high in the void, guarded by an Immortal Formation outside, he wouldn't know if he would still have this confidence.

Little Ice beside him suddenly shouted, "Sister Mu Mu, don't go! Come back and bully me some more!"

Li Xiantian turned his head back in confusion, looking at Little Ice with an expression full of looking at an idiot.

Little Ice wagged the storage ring on its tail and shouted excitedly, "So there's a reward for being bullied! I should have let Sister Mu Mu bully me for a while longer!"

"Master, when are we going back? When can we see Sister Mu Mu again?"

Li Xiantian asked, "What kind of benefits did you get? You're actually so eager to be bullied?"

Little Ice quickly swallowed the storage ring and said, "Sister Mu Mu gave it to me! Master, you're not allowed to snatch it!"

Li Xiantian shook his own storage ring and said, "I have one too. Tell me, what's inside yours? It made you act like this towards me, your Master?"

Little Ice said with a grin, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just resources that can cultivate up to the early stage of crossing the Celestial Tribulation, and treasures to pass the first Celestial Tribulation."

Li Xiantian nodded and didn't ask further, his gaze directed towards his own storage ring.

Soon, a joyful smile appeared on his face.

Because his storage ring also contained many good things, especially that half-immortal artifact which dazzled him.

The half-immortal artifact Golden Bell is a defensive and offensive half-immortal artifact. As long as he breaks through to the early stage of crossing the Celestial Tribulation, he can pass the first Celestial Tribulation at any time.

"Little Ice, let's go! We'll set off on our journey first. This time, we're going directly to the South Border."

Little Ice's eyes lit up. It had heard of the mainland cultivation world for a long time, but unfortunately, it had never been there. This time, Little Ice was also going to explore it.

However, it quickly stopped thinking that way. Looking at its cultivation, it said, "Master, how about we cultivate for a while before going? Our current cultivation is too weak, isn't it? Even if we find Master's Mother, we might not be able to help her."

Li Xiantian nodded and said, "You're right. Then let's pass two Celestial Tribulations before going."

Little Ice quickly nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

They didn't know that shortly after Li Haotian and Mu Mu left, they were stopped by a figure.

This figure looked a bit disheveled, but their strength was extremely powerful.

The other party stared intently at Li Haotian and asked coldly, "You were the one who destroyed the Tongtian Gate, right?"

Li Haotian nodded slightly, instantly putting Mu Mu into the Yupei Cave Heaven.

"That's right, I destroyed the Tongtian Gate. Since they dared to attack my Grandson, they should be destroyed."

The other party said coldly, "Since it's you, that makes things much simpler. Go and be buried with the Tongtian Gate. After I kill you, I'll go and kill your Grandson, allowing your family to be reunited."

Li Haotian couldn't help but laugh, but his laugh was very, very cold.

"Old thing, you only have a primordial spirit left and you're still being arrogant here. Aren't you afraid of being captured and refined into an elixir?"

"Since you are a remnant of the Tongtian Gate, I will send you down to join them."

Li Haotian could see clearly that the other party had merely fused their primordial spirit with some materials to form a body dominated by the primordial spirit.

Although their cultivation was extremely powerful, already surpassing the stage of crossing the Celestial Tribulation, it couldn't compare to a true Immortal.

He had met Old Ancestor Oriental Conqueror, and the powerful aura on that person was that of a true Immortal, while the other party was, at best, just a Loose Immortal.

Although a Loose Immortal is also an Immortal, for someone like him whose Sword Embryo has already become an Immortal, it was a little lacking.
