Chapter 956: Chapter 924: Heart-removing Curse

"Unity Worm."

Lu Ping murmured to himself; it was an Ancient Spirit Insect.

In his understanding, it only existed in ancient texts and had never been seen in the real world.

Unexpectedly, the Li Family actually managed to cultivate such Spirit Worms.

"Well, indeed as he said, this Unity Worm is quite remarkable."

"In the Central Ancestral Realm, cultivators and forces cultivating such Spirit Worms are rare. This Li Family is definitely not as simple as it appears; it has some depth."

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s avatar sighed with interest in the Unity Worm as well.

He had known about the existence of Unity Worms before and had seen them, but never cultivated them himself.

Because Unity Worms are regarded as top-secret resources by all major forces, they are not publicly disclosed or sold, and only the core members of the forces have the qualification to obtain them.

For the then solitary Void Celestial Extreme Saint, acquiring a few Unity Worms wasn’t difficult, but even if he did, he wouldn’t know with whom to communicate.

Lu Ping nodded slowly, continued listening, and when he turned his gaze back to Li Zhilu, he could already guess what was coming next. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

As Li Qianye continued to narrate, it was indeed as Lu Ping had thought.

After receiving an urgent message from the family, Li Zhilu sensed the family’s urgency and, worrying about its safety, had no choice but to return to the family.

At that time, it could be deduced that he himself was in seclusion, and to not worry Lu Yuanshan and others, Li Zhilu left without informing anyone and returned to the family resolutely.

The reason for all this, Li Qianye did not know, and Li Zhilu himself couldn’t recall, it was merely Lu Ping’s deduction.

As Li Qianye continued to recount, the discussion turned to how Li Zhilu, upon urgently returning to the family, joined the family cultivators in resisting external foes together.

Meanwhile, dozens of other family members outside also rushed back to fight for the family.

In the end, through relentless efforts, they finally defended their territory and repelled the demon beast invasion.

Shortly thereafter, due to the scale of the Beast Tide, forces like the Heavenly Control Sect suffered a total defeat before it, nearly losing all resistance and facing total annihilation.

At the critical moment, it was a joint action of several major forces in Central Yunzhou that exterminated the Beast Tide at once.

As Central Yunzhou borders the Eastern State, if the Beast Tide was left unchecked, it would inevitably threaten the safety of Central Yunzhou soon.

Therefore, the major forces in Central Yunzhou naturally understood the stakes and would certainly not hesitate to take action.

This was the great crisis of that time.

As for why Li Zhilu lost his memory, it was entirely because during the fight against the Beast Tide, they encountered the innate divine techniques of the Dark Purple Spot Ape.

This Dark Purple Spot Ape could use its unique innate divine technique to cast an attack known as the Heart-removing Curse.

Once hit by this attack, a cultivator would lose memories and experience a sharp decline in strength.

At that time, not only Li Zhilu but several other Li family members also fell victim to the Heart-removing Curse, losing their memories, their strength diminished, leaving their minds blank, unable even to recognize their own kin.

"Alas."

At this point, Li Qianye sighed. The other family members losing their memories would not lead to major problems and they could preserve their lives.

But Li Zhilu’s case was different.

Because when she returned to the family, she was found to be more than a month pregnant.

Faced with such a situation, the family wanted to investigate the identity of the child’s father, but couldn’t find any clues.

After all, Li Zhilu herself couldn’t remember.

As a result, even where she returned from and what she experienced outside remained unclear.

This left the entire Li family bewildered and immensely curious about Li Zhilu’s experiences over the years, which they couldn’t uncover.

This situation persisted for eight or nine months.

Under the family’s care, Li Zhilu gave birth to a baby girl named Li Shuwan, who possessed Heavenly Spirit Root qualities and was considered the Qilin Child of the Li family, raised there ever since.

In the eyes of the Li family, the question of who Li Shuwan’s father was occasionally became a point of curiosity, wanting to explore.

After all, to father a daughter with a Heavenly Spirit Root, his identity was certainly that of a powerful cultivator.

Where indeed had Li Zhilu traveled and lived previously?

As Li Shuwan grew older, she too wanted to know who her father was.

The family continuously explored various methods to remove the Heart-removing Curse on Li Zhilu, without progress.

Unlike Li Zhilu.

The other family members who were affected by the Heart-removing Curse had lived within the family before, and despite memory loss, frequent interaction with family allowed them to lead a normal life.

Who was Li Zhilu’s partner?

Who indeed was Li Shuwan’s father?

These became puzzles for the Li family, with every member wanting to uncover the answers.

When asked, Li Zhilu herself didn’t know, unable to remember where she came back from or why she returned.

Previously, she had forgotten all about being summoned back by the family, with no recollections.

When questioned about these matters, she naturally didn’t know and could only gain some general understanding from Li family cultivators.

Learning this, Lu Ping pondered for a while, looking at Li Zhilu with some pity in his eyes.

Li Zhilu was also helpless about losing her memory.

Having adapted over the years, she had almost gotten used to it, and though she couldn’t recall many things, it was no issue living a new life.

The only thing that truly concerned her was the origins of Li Shuwan and her own partner.

That was what she truly cared about.

Therefore, over the years, she constantly inquired about any method to counter the Heart-removing Curse.

The Li family was similarly concerned, seeking help everywhere, eventually receiving accurate information.

The Heaven Mending Saint Realm could lift the Heart-removing Curse.

However, the Heaven Mending Saint Realm, such a mighty immortal sect, was always aloof in the world.

To lift the Heart-removing Curse, only the sect’s Holy Technique from the Heaven Mending Saint Realm could accomplish it.

The Li family didn’t believe such a giant would care about them or that the Heaven Mending Saint Master would expend effort to assist.

The Heaven Mending Saint Master is a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch; the Li family asking for a meeting might not even be granted that.

The Li family and the Heaven Mending Saint Realm are fundamentally not on the same level.

Li Qianye took a few sips of tea before continuing.

Lu Ping listened quietly and heard Li Qianye mention the Heaven Mending Saint Realm again, discussing the specifics of removing the Heart-removing Curse, aligning with Li Zhilu’s notion that the Heaven Mending Saint Realm might not aid the Li family.

This too was as he initially stated, must they truly humble themselves to ask the Heaven Mending Saint Realm?

Hearing this, Lu Ping frowned and contemplated.

At that time, Shen Linglong was struck by the Immortal Slaying Curse, finding no help here.

Ultimately, thanks to the Void Celestial Immortal Sword, they received assistance from Taiqi Peak of the Heaven-Facing Sect, obtaining a response from the Heaven Mending Saint Realm to resolve the Immortal Slaying Curse.
