The sunset illuminates the sky, and the endless world is cold and distant.
If you focus on an area at random, you can see figures flying through the air from time to time, like a streak of light. This is a world where you can cultivate immortals. The immortal cultivators who fly to the sky and escape from the earth are born in mortals, but they are also transcendent from mortals.
In the entire world, there are occasionally some violent sounds, which seem weak and insignificant in this extremely vast world. And those weaker voices are like water droplets in the sea. Although they are numerous in number, they have little sense of existence in this world of immortality where strength is intertwined. However, there are always some special weak ones worthy of attention.
Distances from far to near: Nan'an Territory, Qingzhou, Wangxian Town, and a family in a surrounding village.
The sound changes from small to loud, from inaudible to inaudible. The cry of a baby heralds the arrival of a new life.
Mixed with the sound of the baby's cry was the joy of a middle-aged man. Looking at his son's current state, the man thought of a name in his mind like a soul: "Qiao? Li Qiao? My son will be called Li Qiao from now on!" "
On the evening of December 12, 2810 in the Purple Solar Calendar, Li Qiao was born.
Because the entire world of cultivating immortals is too vast, since ancient times, cultivators have used the name "Great World of Cultivation" as the name of this world. There are countless mortals, many monks, and also many monsters and monsters.
This village looks ordinary, and every family is the same, but the main output of the entire village is equally divided among a few ordinary people like middle-aged people. The reason is that Li Jixiu, the father of Li Qiao, was born in the Li family. , and the Li family is one of the numerous immortal cultivating families in the world of cultivating immortals.
If the Xiuxian family wants to develop and grow, it must make good friends with other nearby forces, and it is impossible to marry into the same clan. In this way, there will be some areas where the spheres of influence of the Xiuxian family are intertwined. This is the case in Wangxian Town, and the same is true in this village. In addition to immortal cultivators, there must be a large number of mortals in the Immortal Cultivation Family. Li Jixiu will be assigned to this corner, which shows that his status in the Li family is not very good.
"Dad, why can those people fly but you and I can't!" As time went by, Li Qiao grew up from a baby to a young child. Because he occasionally saw immortal cultivators flying in the sky several times, he became a little wiser and once It happened that when his father was around, he pulled the corner of the other party's clothes, pointed at the figure of the monk who was about to disappear, and asked.
"Because that's a cultivator!" After a moment of silence, a melancholy voice sounded. Li Jixiu's expression was also a little complicated. You can guess from his name that his elders have high hopes for him in cultivating immortals, and Because he was judged to have no qualifications for cultivating immortals, he was just an ordinary mortal at the moment.
Normally, mortals are not allowed to provoke immortal cultivators, especially Li Qiao's pointing behavior. To mortals, it is a long distance, but to cultivators, it may be only a short distance away.
Normal mortals would beat their children severely when encountering this kind of situation, but Li Jixiu didn't care about it because the monks who would patrol here at low altitude were either monks from his own Li clan or those nearby. Monks from other immortal cultivating families who have good relations with the Li family.
"Why aren't Ah Qiao and Ah Dad cultivators of immortality?" the childish voice sounded again.
"Those who cultivate immortality are cultivated, and those who do not have the qualifications to cultivate immortality cannot cultivate. My father does not have the qualifications to cultivate immortality, but Ah Qiao most likely has it." Li Jixiu said as he looked at his second son Li Qiao.
In his eyes, his son has a handsome face and is extremely handsome at a young age. He looks like a young boy who can cultivate immortality. In fact, this is more of Li Jixiu's idea of cultivating immortality. It has been passed down from generation to generation to cultivate immortality. There are very few ugly people in the family. Although Li Qiao is good-looking, it is not difficult for the entire huge Li family to find dozens of such children.
"Then why don't I practice now? If I practice, I can fly!" There was infinite longing in the childish words. He raised his innocent and bright eyes and looked at his father. The little expectation contained in them made Li Jixiu feel a little bit... Don't dare to face it.
Qualifications for cultivating immortals? What if Aqiao doesn't exist in the future?
"It's not yet time. In a few years, the family will conduct a unified qualification test on the newly born children of the family!"
"It will take a few more years..."
As time went by and Li Qiao continued to grow up, the traces of this scene and the conversation in his heart continued to fade, but his desire to become an immortal cultivator never weakened at all.
…
On the first day of August in the year 2818 of the Purple Solar Calendar, at noon, we were in a courtyard somewhere in Wangxian Town.
"...Li Qiao, I have no qualifications for cultivating immortals. Next..." A dull voice sounded in the courtyard. Except for the ups and downs of Li Jixiu and Li Qiao's father and son, no one in the courtyard had much reaction to this. A total of more than 20 children were tested. Now two-thirds of the test has been carried out, but no one with the qualifications to cultivate immortality has been found, and another one without qualifications has appeared. It is too common.
After Li Qiao was born, although he was not rich, he still had enough food and clothing. This moment could be regarded as the darkest moment in his previous life experience. He already understood many things, including Having no qualifications for cultivating immortals is very important to yourself and your family.
Qualifications for cultivating immortals? At this moment, he hated this word deeply. The monk from the family who was testing the qualifications of him and others also saw it up close. It looked like him, with one nose and two eyes. There was nothing special about it.
Li Qiao lowered his head, only looking at his feet, and silently walked back to his father's side.
Looking at his son's appearance, Li Jixiu didn't say much except sighing in his heart.
The Li family is a cultivating family, but as the secular clan continues to spread out and there are more and more people, the clansmen who are qualified to separate from the family and live in other places are collateral clans. The collateral clan of the Li clan is obviously There are more than a dozen.
And Li Jixiu's branch is branched off from the collateral line of the Li family. It can be said to be a branch of the collateral line. After several generations, it can only be regarded as a bifurcation of the branch.
This kind of situation where the bloodlines of cultivating families are constantly dispersed is very common in the world of cultivating immortals. The world of cultivating immortals covers a vast area, high-level monks emerge in endlessly, and massacres of families and sects are common. It is not surprising that cultivating families rise and fall, or even be exterminated.
The Li family has a history of thousands of years, and its inheritance is even more ancient. However, it cannot be called a large clan of cultivators. The reason for this is that the ancestors were destroyed, and a small number of clan members who escaped have established families again. This kind of I don’t know how many times this has happened.
Moreover, high-level monks have a long lifespan. In order to prevent being found by their enemies, they don't even mention the previous glory of their families.
The inheritance method of continuously dispersing the clan members can continue the bloodline, but the ever-expanding family size also makes some clan members increasingly marginalized, until they are eventually no different from ordinary mortals.
In the end, the aptitude test was like a farce. None of the more than twenty children of different ages were found to have the aptitude for cultivating immortals by the family monks. Everyone came with high hopes and finally left in despair.
After finding out that he had no qualifications for cultivating immortals, Li Qiao felt lost for a while, but he was still a child after all, and his emotions came and went quickly. Especially when he felt that his parents were deeply affected by this, not only did he act completely indifferent , and occasionally find opportunities to say something.
For example, shortly after he was tested as having no qualifications for cultivating immortals, his mother made him a new set of clothes.
"Mom, the waistband of my pants is a bit tight!" After feeling it, Li Qiao reminded his mother.
"Tighten it up, it will make Qiao'er look more energetic!" Zhizi Mo Ruomu said, it's not tight, the little guy is just not used to it.
After looking at his grandma and then his dad who had just entered the house, the little Li Qiao said: "It's very cold when you think about it flying around in the sky. I have new clothes made by grandma. They are so warm!"
"The boss is back!"
"Um."
Recently, Li Jixiu has been busy, looking at himself, and inadvertently glanced at his wife, who was still in her prime, and the thought of taking a concubine came to his mind and quickly returned to his heart.
Faced with the result that Li Qiao did not have the qualifications to cultivate immortality, Li Jixiu was unwilling but helpless. The reason for this was because it was closely related to his family's status in the family, and not all clan members could test their qualifications to cultivate immortality.
For a branch of his family, the qualifications for cultivating immortals can only be cut after five generations. Li Jixiu is the fourth generation. He does not have the qualifications to cultivate immortals. The next generation will not have the qualifications to cultivate immortals. Unless extremely special circumstances arise, future generations will not be able to do so within the family. I took part in the test for my family’s qualifications for cultivating immortals.
The so-called five generations are relative to the family cultivators. The descendants of the family cultivators, if no monks appear within five generations, can only be reduced to ordinary people. In addition to Li Qiao, Li Jixiu also has a son and a daughter, but they were also born early. He was judged to have no qualifications for cultivating immortals.
Is there still hope? Yes, it can be reborn, betting that the new child will have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. Li Qiao is the product of two disappointments, but unfortunately he also failed.
Normally speaking, if a family wants to develop and grow, only a very small number of people have the qualifications to cultivate immortals. All descendants with the qualifications to cultivate immortals should be cultivated. This strategy of killing them after five generations should not be implemented. However, the resources for cultivating immortals are extremely precious and those who can be cultivated should The number of monks is limited, and the higher the level of cultivation, the more cultivation resources are consumed.
In fact, if children with the qualifications to cultivate immortality are too rare, those children who have been killed for five lifetimes and have the qualifications to cultivate immortality can also have a chance, but the reality is that such a situation has never happened.
It's not that Li Jixiu insists on pursuing the emergence of a monk in his family. His ancestors also had monks, and he has a general understanding of the cruel situation in the world of immortality. However, killing him after five lives is not just about losing the qualification to become an immortal. He was killed in the village. The supporting status will also be lost.
