Chapter 479 Go home for the New Year!
Li Yunfei was also at a loss when Li Muyang described the situation. How could he not know that the situation was quite serious? But he couldn't do anything about it for the time being!
These powerful beings could temporarily lend their power to the people of Earth, which would effectively annihilate the destructive creatures. However, this was also the destructive creatures' goal: to use Earth's minions to deplete their power.
If we only focus on Earth and neglect the Immortal Realm, or even the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, that won't work! These creatures can replicate not only the beings of Earth, but also gods and monsters.
"Father, I feel it's necessary to create purification arrays, magical artifacts, talismans, and pills!" Li Muyang said with a serious expression, "This is of great importance!"
Li Yunfei shrugged: "It's easier said than done! You can kill them easily, but to replicate them on a material and make them tangible is another matter entirely! If you could do that, you could establish your own sect! But you're only at the Great Ascension Realm right now!"
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to try!" Li Muyang retorted solemnly. "We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we? This isn't like you! When have you ever been stumped before? You've been fighting against the Destructive Consciousness for so many years, are you really scared? This is just a bunch of people who don't even have a Fairy Realm!"
Li Yunfei's expression gradually froze... Yes? Was he afraid? Perhaps. After restarting so many times, he had become numb at some point, only thinking about his son growing up, eliminating the culprit, and ending it all.
But... before that? Were we just going to watch these monsters that destroy consciousness run rampant?
"Hehe! I didn't expect I'd chicken out... Oh well! Since we're going to do it, we can't give up halfway! Come on! Son! Let's go together, father and son! We'll make these bastards witness the wrath of all living beings!" Li Yunfei slapped his thigh, his eyes regaining their usual seriousness and decisiveness.
With a wave of Li Yunfei's hand, a special barrier rose in the laboratory, instantly changing the flow of time between the inside and outside. If it didn't succeed, the year wouldn't be over!
Let's set a small goal first: before going home for the Chinese New Year, come up with an effective solution!
Back then, when the Jade Venerable (Jade Qilin) was gone and no one mastered the Way of Purification, didn't they still manage to get through it? Now their own son has inherited the Jade Venerable's legacy. Even if he is the Jade Venerable from another world, the Way of Purification is still the same Way! With this help, why can't they succeed?
During this research, Li Muyang and Li Yunfei were once again out of contact. Even Bai Yuxiu and Xiao Xuanyan only occasionally went to the laboratory to check on the progress and when they would be able to leave seclusion.
It wasn't until the end of the year was approaching and people in China were starting to prepare for the New Year that any activity was heard from the laboratory.
"Hahaha! I've succeeded!"
After letting out a loud shout, Li Muyang dashed out of the laboratory like a streak of light and flew off towards the company.
This almost made Li Muyang give up his research hobby. Brain cells are being replaced too quickly, and for some time now, he probably won't have many novel ideas. It's hard to tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
He could have teleported directly, but he chose to fly out instead, just wanting to race and relax.
Only Li Yunfei remained calm. He slowly walked out the door, rubbed his temples, waved his hand to turn off the time flow adjustment of the formation, and then flew off in another direction.
Upon closer inspection, it was precisely the direction in which the top executives of China worked.
This year is sure to be anything but peaceful!
It's normal to exorcise evil spirits during the Lunar New Year, right?
Upon arriving at the company, Li Muyang flew straight into his office, landed gracefully on his boss's chair, spun around several times, and remained excited for a long time before gradually calming down.
If he could keep his joy to himself, he would have already gone out and shared it with others!
Counting the days, this is the last day of work before the Spring Festival. We'll be on holiday starting tomorrow.
limit!
Fortunately, I had already discussed it with Bai Yuxiu and the others before I went into seclusion. They and my mother would take care of the things we needed to prepare for the New Year, so there shouldn't be any problems!
My dad and I just need to wait to go back to our hometown for the Chinese New Year!
What? No need to squeeze into the Spring Festival travel rush?
Just kidding, how could this possibly make me feel wronged?
Flying boats, a mode of transportation exclusively for monks!
No wonder Li Yunfei wasn't too concerned about that plane anymore; it turned out there was something better. This airship was far more powerful and valuable than that... Boeing aircraft.
Even though that plane was indeed quite expensive and belonged to the forefront of modern technology, its performance was far inferior to the flying boat magic weapon that Li Yunfei had refined. Just the various magic array inscriptions engraved on that thing were enough to keep a group of old scholars studying it for most of their lives.
Even within China, many of these things are lost to history, with only ancient sects or long-established family lineages having some records of them.
It may not be perfect yet.
A living antique, priceless!
In the end, the family obediently landed at the airport.
What else can we do? Such a big thing wouldn't be convenient to land anywhere else besides the airport!
As we disembarked from the flying boat, many passengers cast curious glances our way, as such old objects are quite rare!
Some knowledgeable people even realized that Li Yunfei's flying boat was a top-grade magic weapon that even those traditional sects and major factions did not possess, and its owner must be of extraordinary status!
With recent news reports of various deities descending to earth, many people are speculating about which ancestor brought this flying boat down from the mortal realm.
As soon as they exited the airport, Li Muyang and his group saw a group of people dressed in Zhongshan suits or business jackets waiting at the entrance.
Li Yunfei's lips twitched. It wasn't that he hadn't expected the local leaders to come and pick them up, but the scene was a bit awkward, especially since his brother was among them!
"Academician Li, welcome home!" The top official of Gansu, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, spotted Li Yunfei immediately. Dressed in a Zhongshan suit, he hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Don't worry! There's nothing big going on. Everyone's off work and on holiday. We've taken the liberty of picking you up on a personal basis!"
"Thank you for your hard work..." Li Yunfei greeted him with a smile. No matter what, the other person was giving him face, and he couldn't refuse someone who was smiling at him!
After a brief introduction, it was clear that the top leader was also aware of the relationship between Li Yunfei and his brother, Li Yunlong... cough cough, Li Yunfei's older brother, Li Muyang's uncle, whose real name is Li Yunlong.
It was also quite obvious that Li Yunlong looked completely bewildered. He only knew that his superior had asked him to come and pick up an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but he never expected that it was referring to his younger brother!
Li Yunlong knew that his younger brother Li Yunfei's work was of the highest confidentiality, so he didn't know that Li Yunfei was an academician. He only knew that Li Yunfei's family was coming back this year... He had originally planned to pick up Li Yunfei's family on the way back after picking up the academician mentioned by his superior.
I never expected that the two groups were actually in cahoots!
The local leader was quite perceptive. He came over, greeted them, and expressed his gratitude before leading his group home. After all, an academician was returning to his hometown for the Spring Festival, so the local leader had to make an appearance, either to gain recognition or to express his goodwill.
Then, only Li Yunfei's family and Li Yunlong remained.
"Hey bro," Li Yunfei chuckled and leaned closer, "Why that look on your face? Don't you want to see me?"
"Get out of here." Li Yunlong chuckled helplessly, then gestured to Xiao Xuanyan and Li Muyang's group, saying with a sigh, "Xiao Yan is still so dazzling! That brat is so lucky! Even Muyang has grown up so much in the blink of an eye! And these people are..."
“My friend,” Li Muyang said proudly, waving his hand at the three women, “Call him Uncle!”
"Hello, Uncle!" x3
The three women greeted each other politely.
"Oh! Good, good, good..." Li Yunlong was stunned for a long time, and he was also impressed. His nephew seemed to have really good luck with women. Each of his "friends" was more beautiful than the last, and they were all quite powerful in terms of cultivation!
Yes, he's also at the Integration Realm! Of course he can see through the three women's cultivation levels... even though he feels he might not be able to defeat them.
Most importantly, Li Yunlong was a discerning man. He could sense the ancient charm and demeanor emanating from Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er. Although this charm had faded considerably due to the influence of modern culture, their every move still revealed a difference from modern people.
Could it be that... my nephew... has even lured away the pride of a traditional sect?
Cow!
Compared to my own unfilial son... forget it, I won't make things difficult for that brat! Bai is a few years older than Mu Yang!
"Let's go! Let's go home!" Li Yunlong waved his hand. Although there were a lot of people, he had his own unit-provided transportation, and there was still enough space inside to sit down!
However, Li Yunfei still said with concern, "Brother, how about I help you get another one? This one isn't safe!"
"Change what?" Li Yunlong scoffed. "Don't try to give me any special treatment! What's unsafe about it?"
Li Yunfei shook his head: "Brother! It's different! How about this, if you don't want to change it, then Mu Yang and I will help you modify it when we get back. Don't worry, just report it to us."
Seeing Li Yunfei's resolute attitude, Li Yunlong realized something and silently stopped objecting, instead starting to talk about other topics... well, topics like Li Muyang, Bai Yuxiu, Feng Ling'er, Erii, and so on.
Who would have thought that this seemingly serious uncle also has a gossipy heart!
Li Muyang only spoke selectively. This uncle also knew about the existence of other worlds and alternate dimensions, so it wasn't impossible for him to talk about his trips to other worlds.
We chatted for a while and then arrived home.
At this moment, the whole family was finally together. They soon met Aunt Hu Ying, cousin Li Shixuan, and their own grandfather Li Zhongwei and grandmother Yu Xiuqin.
The meal is ready, and we're just waiting for Li Yunfei's family to come back so we can eat!
