Chapter 1122: Li Family Foundation

n the sky above the Western Domain, the enormous flower that no one could see suddenly began to sway.

It was somewhat vague.

Two of the twelve petals of the Beauty's Petals had completely disappeared, and two of the remaining ten petals were blurry!

The two petals that had disappeared suddenly appeared between Li Mengtu's eyebrows!

As the Poison Monarch's disciple, Li Mengtu had naturally made ample preparations for this inheritance.

Compared to everyone else, he knew what the inheritance was this time.

He had even seen several similar totems a long time ago.

He comprehended them one by one.

It could be said that he had already completed all the preliminary preparations.

In particular, he had spent a lot of effort on his understanding of poison.

Now that he had built up a solid foundation, he had a huge advantage when it came to gaining enlightenment.

On the other hand, Xu Qing had already fallen behind due to his previous trial and error.

Although he eventually found the correct method, the speed of his comprehension was also astonishing.

However, it was still too slow.

Because this kind of comprehension needed to be done beforehand, it also needed to be understood.

It was not a simple imprint.

He had to understand and understand the essence of it. Only then could he truly inherit it.

Li Mengtu had already completed his task.

Only then did Xu Qing begin his exploration.

Therefore, in the early stages of enlightenment, the gap between him and Li Mengtu was not small.

Li Mengtu quickly sensed this scene from the rate at which the flowers in the sky were fading away.

His heart relaxed.

"Although I don't know the reason, there was a change that allowed this person to have the same qualifications as me to comprehend the inheritance."

"But … the weak will always be the weak."

"This inheritance was specially made for me by Master. Without any prior preparation, it would be difficult for others to comprehend it. Compared to me, it's like the difference between mud and clouds."

Li Mengtu's eyes were cold. At this moment, the third petal was rapidly forming on his forehead.

......

Meanwhile, on the Dao cliff, Xu Qing's expression was calm.

At this moment, only twenty percent of the petals on his forehead had gathered. There was still a long way to go before a petal was fully formed.

Even though Xu Qing sensed that the Sky Dome Inheritance Flower had turned blurry and that the threads coming from it to the east were growing denser and the number of petals were decreasing, Xu Qing could not help but notice that the Sky Dome Inheritance Flower had turned blurry.

However, he was not in a hurry.

He knew very well that in this world, he was definitely not the only one with shocking comprehension ability. Thus, it was normal for there to be someone whose comprehension ability surpassed him.

Furthermore, the comprehension of the inheritance was a competition.

It would naturally be good if he could win, but if he couldn't, there was no need to vent his anger on him.

"It's good that my method is correct."

"This inheritance in the Sky Screen is different from the strange places I have been to before. What I need to do is to move it into my consciousness."

"Just like when we faced the Ghost Emperor Mountain back then."

Xu Qing's heart was clear as he stared at the sky without blinking. He used it as a visualization diagram and copied it over and over in his heart. Through this process, he understood the essence of this inheritance.

According to his past experience, the more he understood, the smoother the process of enlightenment would be.

However, it didn't take long before Xu Qing's eyes narrowed and his heart began to tremble.

"This inheritance is …"

Xu Qing pondered deeply and was slightly uncertain. Thus, he simply stopped moving and placed his focus on the portion he'd comprehended. After careful analysis and perception, his expression gradually became slightly strange.

"Poison?"

Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

When it came to poisons, he was an expert.

After all, the Poison Seal on his body back then had already turned into Divine Authority.

Although the Poison Restriction wasn't in his immortal body, but in his divine body, poison was the Dao of Plants and Trees.

This Dao was knowledge. It was knowledge.

Xu Qing had already memorized it in his mind.

"This is a part of the Way of Vegetation …"

Xu Qing's mind opened up, and his memories regarding plants and vegetation floated back to him. When he looked at the Legacy Flower again, he could see even more details.

"The leaves of this flower are long and narrow with serrated teeth. It's rooted in nothingness and fits the category of perennial herbs. It's similar to the Mountain Orchid, but the latter is more illusory.

"There are twelve petals, and each petal has a female face with different expressions. It contains the power of desire, similar to the Seven Emotions Grass."

"Every breath it breathes contains poison. Venom is produced on its tentacles, and there are venomous patterns on its leaves. The same goes for its roots …

"This is a poisonous plant …"

"There are hundreds of poisons in the entire plant. Although it doesn't seem like a lot, when the hundreds of poisons are mixed together, they can multiply in tens of thousands. The changes are shocking, and the poisons mixed together are even more bizarre."

"Others might not be able to tell that this is a poisonous plant, but according to my understanding of the Dao of Plants and Vegetation, this poisonous plant is clearly something that was cultivated after birth."

"At least tens of millions of different types of plants. Different medicinal properties were extracted and finally cultivated … Moreover, special items were mixed in to make it incomparably high!"

"Such extravagance is truly astonishing!"

Xu Qing's heartbeat quickened as his expression changed.

The more he understood, the more shocked he became.

"To be able to cultivate such a poisonous plant, that person's mastery of knowledge of plants and trees must have reached an unimaginable level.

Xu Qing muttered to himself. His interest had reached its peak at this moment.

"It's not very useful to simply comprehend it, and it's also not very useful to try to understand it. The best way … is to analyze its poison!"

"As for poison …"

Xu Qing's eyes flashed with a dark light.

Countless knowledge regarding plants and vegetation instantly appeared in his mind.

One by one, they corresponded with each other, arranged themselves, and blended one after another.

Become his tool.

He would simulate similar poisons and then compare them to the Sky Dome Flower while comprehending them in his heart.

In this way, the flower was transported and branded in his sea of consciousness.

Just like that, time passed.

......

In the Li family's forbidden area, on the tall tower, Li Mengtu was fully focused on comprehending the inheritance. The third petal finally formed between his eyebrows.

This process was slower than before.

That was because the further he went, the more difficult it would be. Even though he was fully prepared and had an extraordinary comprehension ability, he still couldn't succeed in one go.

"Master once said that I would need around ten days to comprehend this inheritance."

"Looking at it now, that is indeed the case."

Li Mengtu took a deep breath and was about to continue.

However, it was at this moment that the Inheritance Flower in the sky suddenly shuddered and blurred again.

There were originally nine petals left, but at this moment … one of them suddenly disappeared!

"Hmm?"

Li Mengtu's pupils shrank, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He looked in the direction of the Main Path Cliff, and his expression darkened.

Back on the Dao cliff, the first petal had already appeared on Xu Qing's forehead.

"The method is correct!"

Sensing the flower petal between his eyebrows, Xu Qing was in an extremely good mood. It had been a long time since he felt this happy.

On the one hand, it was because he had acquired the legacy. On the other hand, he had discovered that during the process, his knowledge of plants and vegetation was surging.

Through the Sky Dome Flower, he gained a deeper understanding of plants and vegetation.

He was also finally able to discern part of the origin of the aura contained within the inheritance that made him feel as if it surpassed the dao marks of the Authorities.

"This poisonous plant was formed after birth. There has never been a plant like it before. This is unprecedented, so the moment it was born, it was as if it had been born!"

"Then, I will bless it so that no second pearl will appear in this world. Even the person who created it will not be able to do so … Then, it will end."

"This is unprecedented and will never be repeated. This grass can become the only one in the world. Add to that the fact that this grass itself has an astonishing level …."

"Using the one and only dao to guide the descent of the mystery, thus forming that sliver of power that transcends the dao marks of the Authorities?"

Xu Qing's mind rumbled.

His eyes shone brightly as he stared at the flower in the sky and muttered a word.

"Constitution?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xu Qing's mind suddenly cleared up.

After that, he sang loudly all the way!

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the second petal appeared on his forehead.

Half an hour later, the third petal was formed!

Such a process was horrifying.

At first, he was lagging behind, but now … he was about to catch up with Li Mengtu.

Other than the two of them, no one else in the entire Western Domain who had a command medallion could sense what was going on. Otherwise, they would surely explode like a tempest.

Xu Qing's imprint was simply too fast.

Li Mengtu was shocked.

At this moment, there were only three petals on his forehead. The fourth petal was only about forty percent complete.

"Where did this person come from?!"

"It was slow before, but suddenly, it became so fast!"

Li Mengtu's heart thundered and his breathing quickened. The feeling of watching his opportunity being taken away by someone else made him want to kill. At the same time, he couldn't suppress his anxiety.

"This can't go on!"

Li Mengtu's eyes flashed with determination.

He still had a trump card that he had yet to use. Originally, he had planned to use the trump card to rush forward after he had obtained the eight petals.

But now …

Li Mengtu immediately raised his hands and made a hand seal before pressing them in all directions.

Suddenly, the tower he was in shook, and a red light flashed, shooting straight into the sky.

It formed a ring of light that rumbled out in all directions. Within the restricted area of the Li Clan, numerous pagodas exploded with power, transforming into beams of red light that shot up into the sky.

There were nine thousand towers here, and each tower was like a blessing that could amplify Li Mengtu's perception.

Now that he had unleashed all of his power, the fourth petal on his forehead was about to form.

Li Mengtu still felt that such a speed of comprehension was not safe because there were only twelve petals. If he was late, others would be able to comprehend more. He could not accept this.

As such, Li Mengtu gritted his teeth and raised his right hand to take out an item.

It was a scroll painting!

It exuded an ancient aura. The moment it appeared, the sky changed color, and the clouds surged.

This item was the Li Clan's heirloom, and it was the only one of its kind!

It was brought over by their Patriarch from their hometown. After he passed away, he left behind a message for his descendants.

"This painting can be used three times.

Below the Quasi-Immortal Realm, if you draw a line, you will definitely be sealed. If you draw half of the painting, the Quasi-Immortal Realm will fall into oblivion. If you draw the entire painting, you can seal the Immortal Realm! "

Countless years had passed, but for some reason, this painting had not been stolen or demanded by anyone. It had remained in the Li family all this time.

Generation after generation of the Li family's descendants had all attempted to open the scroll painting. However, regardless of whether they tried to open it or activate it, they all failed.

Only Li Mengtu … His bloodline seemed to have returned to its ancestral state.

He could use the scroll, and if he used all his strength, he could open it slightly.

This was the real reason why he had become a star!
