Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1308: Chapter 1302: You’re Not Worthy

The brothers Yunlin and Yunbing arrived home.

In her alchemy area, Yaoqing was undergoing bodily transformation by Lu Niang.

Suddenly, she was startled. Within her body, in the realm beneath the starry sky where the Nine-Leaf Clover resided, a trace of displeasure flashed through Lu Niang’s eyes.

“A demon has appeared in your family.”

“Yunbing!”

Li Yaoqing immediately grew anxious. However, as she tried to return her consciousness to her physical body, she felt dazed, sitting weakly in place and staring at Lu Niang.

Her nephew had clearly been disobedient, secretly turning into a demon. She wanted to give her two nephews a good scolding, but what right did she have to lecture the children?

Lu Niang paused for a moment. “Aren’t you going to do something?”

In her eyes, demons were even more wicked than immortals. At least in the era she existed in, those demon overlords devoured the world and ate immortals as well.

Li Yaoqing sat on the ground, her numbness mixed with a hint of helplessness.

“What can I do? I don’t like your immortal Spiritual power in the slightest, but right now, I actually feel a bit glad. Yunbing must feel the same as me.”

“Glad?” Lu Niang couldn’t see the slightest hint of gladness in Li Yaoqing’s eyes.

“When we were in the village, refugees wanted our lives, and we had to pick up blades.

When I killed someone, my parents didn’t say anything.

They definitely wouldn’t say anything. I know their temperaments; they would only blame themselves for lacking the ability to protect us children.”

Resting her chin on her knees, Li Yaoqing continued,

“Later, I slowly came to understand my parents. No one wants their children’s hands to be stained with blood, doing things that children shouldn’t have to do.”

“But sometimes children become someone we don’t even recognize. And that appearance might just be what we ourselves once looked like.

We can’t stop it; we can only try to understand, to support, and to hope for the best possible outcome.”

As she spoke, Li Yaoqing sprawled out flat on the ground, gazing deeply into the sky.

“See? This is the life you immortals have brought us. These changes in life force us to drift with the tide, but we must resist.”

Lu Niang smiled bitterly.

She was starting to have trouble distinguishing whether she was influencing Li Yaoqing, or if Li Yaoqing was influencing her, causing her to gradually lose her hostility toward demonic qi.

…

Inside the family’s Myriad Dao Pagoda.

Clatter, clatter!

The sound of iron chains echoed. Li Yunbing was sealed at the top of the divine tower.

After turning into a demon, Li Yunbing’s skin had become incredibly pale.

A rhombic crystal rested in the center of his forehead. His already handsome face now carried a sinister charm, exuding evil qi.

The family members stared at the sealed Li Yunbing, their expressions filled with worry.

Li Yaotie tinkered with the chains binding Li Yunbing’s hands and feet.

Though he confirmed that Li Yunbing couldn’t escape for the time being, he didn’t feel relieved in the slightest.

His eldest brother was cultivating outside, and in a moment of inattention, their nephew had also become a demon.

Fortunately, his seven children were also demons, so they could share some experience with Yunbing.

“You lot, come with me,” Li Yaotie smiled at the Seven Ironclads. “I’ve forged Dharma Treasures for you.”

He then led the overjoyed seven children outside the tower.

A moment later.

Cries and wails begging for mercy echoed from outside the tower.

Li Yaotie was absolutely furious.

He certainly couldn’t blame Yunbing; this child was used to being the Patriarch of the family, and no one could sniff out danger better than Yunbing.

When danger approached, Yunbing instinctively chose the sharpest weapon to face the enemy: becoming a demon.

If anyone was to blame, it was his seven children. Those brainless idiots actually dared to help Yunbing become a demon.

“Come here, you little beasts! I’ll beat you to death!!!”

Ignoring the pig-slaughtering-like shrieks outside.

Li Yunlin reinforced the seals. He knew exactly what kind of temperament his younger brother had.

Yunbing was inherently a deeply calculating schemer who would use any means necessary to achieve his goals.

Everyone in Azure Cloud Prefecture viewed Yunbing as a man-eating venomous snake.

Now that Yunbing had transformed into a demon, according to experienced demons, Yunbing was a demon overlord among demon overlords, absolutely incomparable to the foolish demons the Seven Ironclads had become.

“Eldest Brother, no matter what I say, do not let me out.”

Li Yunbing said gravely to Li Yunlin,

“Have Kuanghua come and chant scriptures for me. And have Third Uncle and the cultivators of Azure Cloud Prefecture forge a Dharma Treasure that can control my life.”

“Mhm.”

Li Yunlin stared at Yunbing for a long time, then nodded.

Outside the door, Kuanghua had already been waiting for a long time. He gave her a slight nod. Not long after, the sound of chanting scriptures drifted down from the top of the tower.

At the entrance of the divine tower, the Blood Demon Lord had been waiting for a long time.

The Blood Demon Lord said in a deep voice,

“He is very dangerous. Innate demons can often still be taught, but acquired demons are actually the most dangerous.

They already possess mature souls and have experienced the many evils of the world. These wicked thoughts will be infinitely magnified after they turn into demons.”

“…”

Li Yunlin remained silent. He increasingly felt that Yunbing, trapped in the divine tower, was terrifying.

Yunbing’s absolute bottom line was the family; beyond that, Yunbing cared for nothing else.

Massacres, indiscriminate slaughter… After becoming the Patriarch, he had constantly done the family’s dirty work.

In the Western Frontier, he had even staked severed heads along the entire border.

If he wasn’t sealed, it was entirely possible that Yunbing might even devour the whole of Azure Cloud Prefecture.

Li Yunlin never expected that even the Demon Lord would call Yunbing dangerous.

Demons possessed an instinctive connection with one another.

The Demon Lord cast a wary glance inside the tower and once again reminded the seemingly unconcerned Li Yunlin,

“No matter what, you must keep a close eye on him. My memories are reviving, and I can recall many things that happened in the past. You have reason to believe me.”

Li Yunlin was startled.

This Demon Lord had already been treated as family by them. As the Demon Lord said these words, Li Yunlin faintly sensed that he was somewhat different.

The foolish expression the Demon Lord usually shared with the seven younger siblings was now tinged with a cold sharpness.

Li Yunlin couldn’t help but ask, “What do you know? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?”

“Yunbing is currently still in the initial stages of demonification. Evil thoughts are eroding him, and his kind of sinister malice is exceedingly rare.

Demons act according to their bottom lines. In this regard, it is a good thing for the Li Clan.”

“Bottom line?”

“Yes, bottom line,” the Demon Lord said.

“It is also our conviction. We act entirely upon our convictions, but these convictions are a terrible thing.

Humanity’s most basic morals and rules mean nothing in our eyes. Beyond our convictions, there is only instinct, just like wild beasts in the jungle.”

“All our potential will be stimulated to the extreme, and our physical and Spiritual power will increase exponentially.”

The Demon Lord exhaled a long breath.

“The stronger the evil thoughts before becoming a demon, the more terrifying one is after becoming a demon.

Yunbing is clearly of the most powerful category. I can tell that you also had thoughts of turning into a demon, you…”

Staring into the Demon Lord’s eyes, Li Yunlin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“You are not suited to be a demon. You wouldn’t gain much of an advancement.”

Hearing this, the old cat suddenly popped out. “I told you, you’re not worthy.”

Li Yunlin: “…”

Inside the high tower.

Li Kuanghua chanted scriptures. However, in just a brief moment, she realized she was in trouble. The imprisoned Second Uncle was staring at her with a look of bizarre amusement.

She had cultivated the Buddhist Dao in the Lotus Ferry Nunnery, and her mastery of the World-Crossing Buddhist Sutra could even make Nun Dairou go eat grass.

Yet, using Buddhist methods on her Second Uncle had absolutely no effect.

Li Kuanghua could even feel Second Uncle’s demonic qi actively eroding her Buddhist Dharma.

Her seven uncles and aunts weren’t nearly this wicked…

Staring at Second Uncle was like staring into a pair of sinister eyes in the abyss that embodied the ultimate evil of heaven and earth; the slightest carelessness would lead to sinking into depravity and bewitchment.

Li Kuanghua said gravely, “Second Uncle, it’s alright. Relax your mind and chant the Buddhist sutras with me. It will definitely suppress the evil thoughts.”

“Alright.”

A moment later, Li Kuanghua walked out of the high tower holding her battered wooden fish and battered wooden mallet, telling everyone she met, “My Second Uncle is invincible in the world.”

It wasn’t until half a day later, standing in the family’s main hall and looking at the clansmen all around her, that she suddenly snapped out of it.

She looked blankly at her family and said, “I was bewitched by evil.”

That very day, the Myriad Dao Pagoda became a forbidden area.

Li Wei appeared inside the Myriad Dao Pagoda.

He saw Yunbing locked by iron chains within the tower, self-imprisoned, with evil qi surging to the heavens.

Looking at Li Yunbing, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed as usual, Li Wei sat on the ground for a long time.

After becoming a demon, Yunbing’s interface panel had been constantly updating.

[Your descendant Li Yunbing devoured everything of Banshu Weide.

With the help of the Seven Ironclads and the Demon Lord, he transformed into a demon using the demonic and evil qi from the watchdog’s tentacles. Acquired Trait: Demon Tribe]

[As a acquired demon, the wicked thoughts he had accumulated for the sake of the family, as well as the family’s millennium of experiences, erupted in a single instant, causing his strength to skyrocket.]

[Acquired Demon Tribe Talent: Wicked Thought Heavenly Demon]

[Demons imitate immortals; devouring the heavens and the earth is their basic instinct, but what they feed on differs.

Your descendant Li Yunbing excels at operating behind the scenes. In addition to devouring flesh and blood, he can feed on the evil thoughts of humans.

As a demon of ultimate Yin, he can invade the consciousness of people.]

[Li Yunbing devoured the majority of the tentacles from the half-immortal watchdog physique of Banshu Weide. Acquired Trait: Immortal Eater]

[Devouring the heavens and the earth is only the beginning; only by devouring immortals can a demon activate their body’s ultimate power.]

[Acquired Demonic Dao Divine Ability: Claws and Fangs — Watchdog]

[Transforms demonic qi into tentacles. The tentacles are incredibly resilient, using heaven and earth as a trapping array to erode the world.]

Kuanghua walking out of the tower acting crazy was clearly the result of being hit by Yunbing’s innate evil art.

Even Buddha couldn’t resist the manipulation of these evil thoughts.

But all things in the universe have a price.

Li Wei could feel that Yunbing was trying his utmost to maintain his original humanity.

Li Wei remained silent for a long time.

The long passage of time still hadn’t made him accustomed to the changes in his descendants. Or perhaps, as the Old Ancestor, he too was slowly turning into something else.

Not long after, the doors of the high tower swung wide open.

Li Yunlin slowly walked in and silently sat down beside Li Yunbing.

It was so quiet inside the high tower that one could hear a pin drop.

The two brothers simply sat together like this, feeling the slivers of light filtering into the tower from outside.

“Eldest Brother, you didn’t bring the old cat.” Li Yunbing exhaled a long breath.

“No.”

Li Yunlin smiled.

“The old cat doesn’t really like the demonic qi on you. I sneaked in while everyone wasn’t paying attention.

Third Uncle beat up the third brother and the others. You know the elders don’t like us acting recklessly.”

“This time… it truly was a bit crazy.”

Hearing this, Li Yunbing grinned.

“Being a little crazy is better than not being able to do anything at all. I’ve had enough of the demons and monsters outside. With power, I can do a lot of things.”

“I came to let you go,” Li Yunlin said casually.

The chains clanked.

Li Yunbing’s eyes darted around as his demonic nature and humanity waged war against each other.

But looking at his elder brother beside him, he let out another long breath of foul air.

“Forget it. Right now, I want to eat everyone outside. If I really eat them, the elders will be unhappy again.”

Li Yunlin leaned casually against the wall, resting his head on his hands, looking at the bright light shining through the window.

He frowned. “When I was young, I was trapped. Now, I have trapped you. Yunbing, what kind of ghostly state have we all become now?”

Li Yunbing followed his brother’s gaze.

Within the incoming light were motes of dust dancing in the high tower.

These dust motes seemed to transform into the two children they once were in the village.

He used to follow behind his elder brother. If anyone came to trick him out of his candy, his elder brother would definitely chase them away.

He suddenly smiled. “If we had just stayed in the village this whole time… how nice would that be?”

“Ah, the passage of time.”

With a smile from Li Yunlin, inside the high tower, the two brothers sat quietly together.

Through a small window, they watched the sun set in the west, and the first light of dawn rise again—tranquil, yet seemingly eternal.
