People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 537: Different Circumstances
Undoubtedly, Fan Mengxin was referring to a great calamity created by the gods. Once one of the top ten kingdoms, with the highest level of ascension and even a Great Sage suppressing the era, it has now fallen to the bottom.

Sincerity has its limits; it is not omniscient and cannot control everything.

Li Qi nodded in agreement to Fan Mengxin's reminder.

Fan Mengxin could see the great calamity befalling the Yan family, and so could he. Although no one told him that the old master of the Yan family was going to die, it was not difficult to see the signs from the small details.

He didn't care much about it; in his eyes, it was a minor matter. If a great calamity came and he happened to be there, it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand.

But if he misses the opportunity, as long as it doesn't affect his mother's relatives within three generations, then he won't waste his energy or go to great lengths for it.

The Yan family's situation is completely different from the Li family's.

He grew up receiving a lot of kindness from the Li family. Born and raised in Tiannan, he was not valued in his early years, but he still received all the benefits he was entitled to.

But the Yan family couldn't care less about him, who had a different surname. Although his mother also had the surname Yan, they were still a generation apart. His maternal grandfather's generation was the main branch, but his mother's generation was a collateral branch. Otherwise, his maternal uncle wouldn't have been unable to enter the core circle of the Yan family despite his efforts to scheme and plot.

In family matters, unless you are exceptionally outstanding, or the highest authority has great vision and ability to firmly grasp everything, you will still inevitably face the situation where the upward mobility channels within the clan are controlled by certain groups.

The old master of the Yan family was certainly no ordinary man and had some formidable skills, but compared to Li Changqing, he was still far inferior.

As for Fan Mengxin's reminder to pay attention to the safety of his family, Li Qi also understood the underlying logic. If this family was about to fall, its opponents would definitely use methods to cause chaos. Although the Yan family's collateral branches were not taken seriously, this was actually a very good entry point.

What makes a family or clan so powerful is the unity of their hearts.

As the saying goes, "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." In this time when the old man is about to die and people's hearts are in turmoil, if a capable person emerges to unite the clan and work together, the crisis can be overcome. But if the opposite happens, and the collateral branches of the clan encounter various dangers and threats, while the main family remains incompetent and does nothing.

In this situation, everyone's first thought is definitely self-preservation, or even how to get a larger share of the family property, taking advantage of the chaos to tear a piece of flesh from their own home.

Managing a family is like governing a country. When a country is about to perish, it is always because the central government is incompetent. Isn't that the case every time?

As the saying goes, war breaks out at the end of a dynasty, and the places that are first affected by the flames of war are always small places.

Fan Mengxin could not have imagined that Li Qi's buffs were now stacked up to almost heaven-like. With the two Sincerity buffs stacked on top of the Crown of Destiny, plus the Fate Sensing and Insight into Truth, the strength and quality of these things would make it impossible to confuse him and cause him to fall into a state of being bewitched by the aura of calamity, unless a power at the level of a demon god was involved. Otherwise, there was absolutely no possibility of success.

In this situation, his perception of his own fortune and misfortune, and by extension, the fortune and misfortune of important people around him, is arguably unparalleled.

The Yan family was facing a great calamity, but he saw that everything was going smoothly for him and those around him.

In a sense, with his current martial arts skills, as long as he doesn't do anything foolish, become arrogant, or expose his abnormality, that is his place. He is the ruler of the world, and with one thought he can build a family business and accomplish everything, but with another thought, the entire edifice can collapse.

To a certain extent, they have achieved control over their destiny.

At this moment, Li Qi was calm and composed, sipping tea as he looked down at Gu Cheng. His eyes were filled with a mixture of physical appearance and spiritual energy, the latter representing the changing fortunes of the family. He clearly saw that the towering tree's roots were rotten, its interior hollow, seemingly reaching for the sky but actually just a shell. This was the manifestation of the Yan family's destiny.

"Counting the years, the Yan family has been prosperous for three hundred years. Every hundred years, there are always outstanding people. The old master of the Yan family was a figure from the previous hundred years. He is now almost one hundred and ten years old. My old master of the Li family has a short lifespan. He killed too many people when he was young, which severely damaged his original essence. Even if he is a tiger-shaped god, he cannot completely make up for it. Therefore, he only has three to five years left to live."

"Old Master Yan was born into wealth and privilege, and he was a copy of Li Tianxing. He rarely fought. Although he once turned the tide, that was because the Yan family was already quite powerful. As a result, he lived a long life. Wealth and privilege can prolong life, which is indeed not just empty talk."

"However, in this past century, the Yan family has not produced another figure capable of turning the tide..."

At this moment, such a thought came to Li Qi's mind.

If he were in charge of the Yan family, he could easily have it reborn from the ashes, but the Yan family is not so fortunate.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Li Qi's mind in the blink of an eye. After that, he stopped thinking about it and just chatted casually with Fan Mengxin about everything under the sun, cultivation tribulations, the human way and the heavenly way, and the various things about the Yan family. To the two of them, it was just a small episode.

But Yan Wenzheng, Yan Songyue, and the Han sisters were caught up in an even more intense brainstorming session.

Actually, none of them had a clear idea of ​​what was going on when they heard something even more shocking.

They really didn't expect that the old master of the Yan family was about to die. In their minds, the old master could live for another ten years or so.

This is also a consensus within the Yan family.

They never expected that, quietly, it seemed that many people, except for their own Yan family members, had found out.

Being outside the family's core often means more than just a difference in money and power; it also means a world of difference in access to information.

Many important pieces of information could not possibly be known to outsiders.

Meanwhile, Fan Mengxin was also pondering that since her junior brother had foreseen that Li Qi would be invincible in the future and surpass the Three Saints, so be it.

Now that the Dao Venerable has appeared, and has entered the Dao and slain half-saints, how can Li Qi, who is yet to come, surpass such a figure and be called invincible in the world?

Could it be that Li Qi might enter the Dao, be able to enter the Demon Tribulation again, and obtain the Great Dao Fruit within the Demon Tribulation?
Or perhaps his junior brother hadn't foreseen the existence of Dao Zun. After all, a figure like Dao Zun transcends the Three Realms and Five Elements to some extent and is not subject to fate, so it's reasonable that he wouldn't be subject to calculation.

Just like the Three Sages and Seven Immortals, who were predicted by the Sages long ago and included in the Ten Greatest Realms, the Daoist Venerable was completely unpredictable and suddenly appeared. Even if the Sages joined forces, they could not predict him at all.

As for the Dao Venerable being Li Qi, she didn't think it was possible. Breaking through the third level of the limit at sixteen was a reasonable pace, and with the Fighting Saint Body, he could ascend step by step through the demonic tribulation in the future. It wasn't impossible for him to become invincible.
