The Strongest Family In The Ages

"I want to bring my mother back."

Li Daoxuan was taken aback. Didn't Ji Zi Ling's mother pass away a long time ago?

"Zi Ling, isn't your mother already..." Li Daoxuan felt a bit guilty. It seemed that he hadn't been caring enough for Zi Ling.

"Husband, I want to move my mother's spirit tablet and tomb here."

"That way, I will feel like my mother is still accompanying me."

Ji Zi Ling told Li Daoxuan a lot more. On the day she got married, she didn't dare to bring her mother's spirit tablet. After all, it was a joyous occasion, and it would be considered unlucky to bring the spirit tablet.

In fact, Ji Zi Ling had this idea a long time ago.

Now, solely relying on her own abilities, she could bring her mother back.

However, she still respected Li Daoxuan's opinion and wanted to discuss it with him.

"Alright! Let's leave immediately." Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate at all. The Great Zhou royal family was not something he cared about.

"Husband, are you going to accompany me?" Ji Zi Ling didn't expect her husband to be so busy, yet he personally took action for her matter.

"Yes! This time, you are going back to your parents' home, so I will definitely accompany you."

Since Ji Zi Ling got married, she had never returned.

It wasn't that she was unfilial, but that place had hurt her deeply, and there were not many people she missed there.

Li Daoxuan told the other wives about this matter, and everyone was very supportive.

"Let's go!"

Li Daoxuan waved his hand, and a majestic and imposing flying ship appeared out of thin air. It was dozens of zhang long and several zhang wide. This was the flying ship warship that Li Daoxuan refined, which was very suitable for long-distance flights.

Although flying with a sword was cool and fast, it was uncomfortable.

Riding on a flying ship was truly comfortable, and the flying ship warship was the pinnacle of refining.

The flying ship warship was used for flying and traveling, but that was just its basic function. It was also a true war machine, suitable for large-scale battles.

There were over a thousand formations on this flying ship warship alone, combining offense and defense. It could attack from a distance or engage in close combat, and it was suitable for aerial, naval, and land battles.

Li Daoxuan held Ji Zi Ling's hand and leaped up.

Swoosh~ The sound of breaking through the air rang out, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace. The flying ship had already traveled a hundred li away.

"Zi Ling, come, let's have some tea and chat. We'll arrive at the Great Zhou Imperial City soon."

"Yes! I'll listen to my husband."

Ji Zi Ling personally poured tea for Li Daoxuan, and the two of them relaxed and chatted along the way, laughing and joking.

"Zi Ling, can you tell me about your childhood?" Li Daoxuan had never asked before, afraid of bringing up her sad past. But now, things were different. Zi Ling was already a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and the past no longer affected her state of mind.

"If my husband wants to hear, I will tell."

"To be honest, I had a pretty miserable childhood. My mother passed away when I was very young."

"As for my father, it was almost as if he didn't exist."

"The most hateful one was my so-called second sister. She would always snatch things from me since we were young."

"After my mother passed away, my life became even more miserable, and I often went hungry."

"But there was a nanny who treated me well." As Zi Ling said this, a hint of reminiscence and tenderness appeared in her eyes.

Zi Ling spoke in a calm tone, without any hatred, anger, or complaints.

Li Daoxuan furrowed his brows as he listened. He could imagine how miserable a little girl would be without anyone to love or care for her, living in the cold palace.

"Husband, don't be angry. It's all in the past."

"I am very happy and content now. Thank you, husband."

Li Daoxuan tightly embraced Zi Ling, his eyes filled with undisguised pity and tenderness.

"Oh! We've arrived."

"Husband, look, someone is coming."

Zi Ling's face blushed slightly as she gently broke free from Li Daoxuan's embrace.

"It should be a royal offering, but it looks somewhat familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before," Li Daoxuan said uncertainly.

In fact, such a large warship had long attracted the attention of the royal family.

If it weren't for the fact that the warship was heading straight for the imperial city, no one would dare to stop it.

"Who is the senior on the ship? May I ask what brings the senior to our Great Zhou Royal City?" The person who spoke trembled slightly.

He was only asking with a brave face, afraid that the warship would attack him and turn him to ashes.

The warship hovered in the air, and Li Daoxuan stood up and said, "I am the husband of Princess Nine."

"Princess Nine? You are Li... Li Dao... Senior Li!"

"You know me?"

"Senior, have you forgotten? I was the one who arranged the marriage between you and Princess Nine. My name is Huang Yi."

Huang Yi felt a bit bitter in his heart. Back then, he and Li Daoxuan were cultivators of the same realm. Seeing Li Daoxuan's still impressive demeanor while he himself had aged, it was truly pitiful.

What was even more tragic was that he was still stuck at the Foundation Building Stage, while Li Daoxuan had become someone he looked up to.

"You are a royal offering, Huang Yi. You were the one who delivered the decree back then."

"That's correct!"

Li Daoxuan looked at Huang Yi and directly threw a small bottle to him.

"You might need this."

Huang Yi was stunned, but he still opened the bottle. However, his face immediately flushed with excitement, unable to resist the urge to kowtow to Li Daoxuan.

"Breaking Barrier Pill! A top-grade Breaking Barrier Pill!"

Huang Yi's hands trembled, his eyes slightly red, and his voice choked.

How many years had it been? Why did he join the Great Zhou royal family? It was all for the sake of breakthroughs! It was all for cultivation resources!

But even after so many years in the royal family, he hadn't obtained a single Breaking Mirror Pill. And today, unexpectedly...

Li Daoxuan wasn't acting out of kindness. In fact, it was just a pill he had failed to refine and didn't want to waste.

Also, Huang Yi had left a good impression on him.

He still remembered the wedding procession back then. Everyone was perfunctory, except for Huang Yi, who showed great respect and courtesy towards Zi Ling. He had observed all the proper etiquette.

Just based on this, he deserved the pill.

"Senior, your great kindness is beyond repayment. Should I kowtow to you a few more times?"

"Go away, will your Majesty let me wait here forever?" Li Daoxuan found this old man quite interesting.

"Oh! Look at my forgetful mind. I was just too excited earlier. Senior, please accompany Princess Nine."

Zi Ling and Li Daoxuan disembarked together.

Seeing Zi Ling, Huang Yi was even more shocked and showed even more respect.

"Husband, you go with Minister Huang. I will go and see the place where I used to live."

"Okay."

At the entrance of the Purple Extreme Hall in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, a middle-aged man dressed in dragon robes stood there.

Clearly, the Great Zhou Emperor, Ji Mingkong, already knew about Li Daoxuan's arrival.

"Li..."

Emperor Ji Mingkong's face showed embarrassment, his complexion turning red. He didn't know how to address Li Daoxuan.

Calling him son-in-law was something he didn't dare to do.

Calling him senior felt strange, and he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Li Daoxuan stared at Ji Mingkong for a while and secretly thought to himself, this old emperor is quite good at hiding! He's actually a cultivator at the Gold Core stage.

No wonder he has been able to sit securely on the throne. Turns out he's an old silver coin.

Outside, there were rumors that the emperor was busy with state affairs and neglected cultivation, at most only reaching the Foundation Building Stage. This was quite interesting.
