141: Li Haotian's decision

Li Haotian waved his hand and said, "Gathering you all here now is also because I have things for you to do. You have all broken through to the Body Integration Realm, and now I will assign you tasks."

"The Li Family does not support idlers. You must now leave the Li Family and go to the Southern Border Cultivation World. While you cultivate to break through to the Great Ascension peak, you must also obtain resources that are useful to the Li Family."

"From now on, with the exception of the Family Head and the two First Elders, any Li Family member in the Body Integration Realm who needs supreme grade Elixirs, magic treasures, or even half-immortal artifacts, must exchange them using high-level resources from the outside."

"As for the specifics of how to exchange, Immortal Xian will arrange it. After all, you are the Family Head."

"Listen up, all of you. The Li Family has done its utmost by cultivating you to the Body Integration Realm. If you still want to continue leeching off the Li Family, don't blame the Old Ancestor for being impolite."

Li Xianxian quickly asked, "Old Ancestor, are you talking about half-immortal artifacts?"

Li Haotian nodded and said, "That's right, half-immortal artifacts. Remember this, the Li Family's foundation is not as simple as you imagine, but if you want to gain something for nothing, then immediately get out of the Li Family and have your bloodline stripped."

"Hiss~"

All the Li Family members couldn't help but inhale sharply. They already knew that the cultivation techniques they practiced were related to the Li Family's bloodline. If their bloodline were stripped, even if they could survive, they would become cripples.

This kind of thing was extremely cruel to them. They certainly didn't want to go from being high and mighty cultivators to cripples.

"We respectfully obey the Old Ancestor's command!"

Li Haotian said with a smile, "Don't worry, you are the first batch to go out. I have also found a leader for you. Zixuan has already broken through to the early Great Ascension stage. As long as he doesn't face tribulation, he should be fine."

Li Zixuan gave a wry smile. It seemed Father was very optimistic about the Five Elements Sword Condensation Art to say such a thing.

He could only respond, "Yes, Father."

Li Haotian waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be like this. You are not going to protect them, just to help them settle down. As for what they want to do, that's up to them."

"At that time, I will give you three teleportation arrays that can only teleport inanimate objects. You can use them to trade resources with Immortal Xian. Want to come back? Unless you break through to the Great Ascension peak, there's no way."

"But as disciples of my Li Family, remember this: don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble. If anyone dares to bully the weak with their strength, this Old Ancestor will definitely teach them a lesson."

"Each of you will receive a distress jade token. Do not use it unless absolutely necessary. Once used, it's gone. If you encounter danger in the future, you're on your own."

"I am the Li Family Old Ancestor, but I cannot tie you to my belt. From now on, for cultivation resources above the Body Integration Realm, the Li Family must exchange resources with me. This Old Ancestor will absolutely not provide them for free."

It was already quite good that he could provide them with resources to cultivate to the Body Integration Realm for free. If they wanted cultivation resources, magic treasures, or Immortal Artifacts in the future, they would have to come up with good things themselves. Otherwise, what was the point of him supporting the Li Family?

In fact, over the years, apart from occasionally providing some supreme grade Elixirs, the rest has been self-sufficient within the Li Family.

Many people didn't even use supreme grade Elixirs when cultivating because the spirit energy on Luoxia Island was enough for them to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It's just that ordinary Li Family members are increasing, and the one hundred thousand square kilometer Luoxia Island is a bit small.

The number of ordinary Li Family members has remained high because the Li Family encourages childbirth, and Luoxia Island is now somewhat crowded.

This situation is not very good. Even if Luoxia Island were expanded again, it wouldn't work because the Li Family members are constantly increasing.

So now the Li Family members need to be settled in one place, and the South Border is quite good. Therefore, Li Haotian is letting the Li Family members go to the South Border.

Once they establish a foundation in the South Border, they can casually occupy a few mortal kingdoms and settle the ordinary Li Family members there.

Otherwise, the pressure on Luoxia Island will become greater and greater, eventually causing Luoxia Island to collapse under the strain.

Luoxia Island can collapse, but the resources on it would be wasted.

Li Haotian will also ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future. Luoxia Island cannot ascend with him. Li Haotian plans to arrange Luoxia Island into a Cave Heaven, the kind where the cultivating Li Family members can live inside.

Li Haotian said again, "I hope you can establish a foundation."

As soon as he said this, many people seemed to understand something, and quite a few quickly nodded.

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

Li Haotian waved his hand, and everyone appeared in his Yupei Cave Heaven.

Feeling the rich spirit essence Qi in the Yupei Cave Heaven, everyone greedily took several deep breaths.

Li Haotian said with a smile, "This is this Old Ancestor's portable Cave Heaven. I will take you out later. Immortal Xian, you three can also go out and take a look. This Old Ancestor will bring you back later."

Li Xianxian and the other two quickly asked in surprise, "Old Ancestor, can we go out too?"

Li Haotian nodded and said, "If you also want to go out, then give up the position of Family Head and hand it over to others. You can certainly go out."

Li Xianxian hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said to Li Haotian, "Old Ancestor, Li Family disciple Li Cheng Cai is very good. He now also has peak Refining Void Realm cultivation and can become the next Family Head."

Li Yongshneg and Li Daoyun exchanged glances. They were also very tempted and wanted to go out, especially since Li Yongshneg had hardly ever left Luoxia Island.

"Li Family disciple Li Lingjun can serve as the next First Elder."

"Li Family disciple Li Yongheng can serve as the next First Elder."

The two suddenly said in unison.

Li Haotian nodded and said, "Okay, let's send them out first, and then we'll come back to handle the Family Head handover ceremony. Let's go."

Li Xianxian and the other two nodded and didn't say anything more.

The Li Family has reached this point and can be considered a major clan. Moreover, if they go out to gain experience in the Body Integration Realm, then the Refining Void Realm is completely sufficient to be the Family Head.

When the Li Family members ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, what about the remaining ordinary people?

Although Li Haotian is preparing to lead quite a few Li Family members to ascend, how many can they lead? How many ordinary Li Family members can ascend? At that time, taking some Li Family members to ascend to the Upper Realm with the Yupei Cave Heaven will be fine, but what about the remaining ordinary people?

If the Li Family only had a little over a million people, Li Haotian would definitely have no problem, but with a population of over ten million, he is powerless.

Even if the Yupei Cave Heaven is very large, Li Family members below the Refining Void Realm cannot enter. It's better to make arrangements early.

It's not just the South Border, but also the Central State, Northern Border, Eastern Territory, and Western Regions. The Li Family members must also exist in these four places.

As for the four places: Tiannanhai, Earths North, Eastern Wilderness, and Eastern Wastelands West Pole, they are too barren. Li Haotian really doesn't think much of them, even though the Li Family came from Tiannanhai, South Sea.

Looking at their excited expressions, Li Haotian shook his head slightly and came to Mu Mu's side with a chuckle, saying, "Mu Mu, can you take me out again?"

Mu Mu nodded and said, "Meow~, Li Haotian, are you going out again?"

Li Haotian nodded and said, "This time, let's just go directly north and cross the Ten Thousand Mountains, okay?"

Mu Mu nodded slightly and looked around.

Li Haotian understood and quickly brought Mu Mu to Luoxia Island.

A pink light flashed on Mu Mu's body, and in an instant, she took Li Haotian and disappeared.

Li Haotian said with satisfaction, "Mu Mu, can you cross the Ten Thousand Mountains?"

Mu Mu nodded and said, "Meow~, no problem. Although the Ten Thousand Mountains has the South Heaven Gate, it doesn't affect Mu Mu."

Only then did Li Haotian breathe a sigh of relief, because the South Heaven Gate very likely leads to the Immortal Realm. If the Space were affected in any way and Mu Mu was injured, it would be troublesome.
