"Stop it everyone!"

    At this moment, as the head of the Li family, Li Yelan also shouted to stop his tribesmen.

    She had already used her artifact to probe the elder grandfather's body and found no trace of phantom energy, ghosts or demons. Instead, it revealed a strong wave of magical power.

    Upon hearing the family head speak, everyone also put away their own artifacts.

    George saw this and leaped out of the coffin, quickly thinking of an excuse to explain why he had come back from the dead.

    Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to find a somewhat acceptable reason from Li Xuan's memory.

    "Elder grandfather, what's going on with you?"

    Li Yelan walked over and asked George with a puzzled expression on his face.

    Elder grandfather had lived for ninety-eight years. Although he had practiced Daoism, his cultivation level was not high. He had reached the stage of running out of oil and burning out the lamp long ago. These two years, even getting out of bed to walk was a problem for him, and he had been lying in bed all this time.

    Seven days ago, he finally exhaled his last breath. She was there at the time, and can confirm that the elder grandfather truly passed away.

    However, now the elder grandfather is not only alive after coming back from the coffin, but his body seems to have improved significantly after that jump.

    Although the hair was still white, carefully observing the face would reveal a rosy complexion and almost no wrinkles could be seen.

    This is just too strange.

    Upon hearing Li Yelan's question, the other tribe members also raised their ears, naturally curious about how the ancestor could suddenly come back to life.

    The entire Li family, including both the direct and collateral branches, had a total of over three hundred people, not to mention the members responsible for managing the family's modern enterprises. Many of them did not possess any cultivation potential and had already gotten married and had children at an early age.

    So, there are often great differences in seniority within the family, which is a common phenomenon among many large families.

    For example, people like Little Li Wolf may have several great-grandchildren in terms of seniority.

    Ninety-eight-year-old Li Xuan was truly considered the living ancestor to many members of the family.

    Apart from Li Yelan, who would address Li Xuan as "Elder Grandfather," everyone else referred to Li Xuan with respect as "Ancestor."

    "Cough cough, speaking of which, I didn't actually expect it either."

    George looked on with a look of reflection:

    "Originally, I thought I was going to die."

    "But when I took my last breath, I couldn't help but look back at my life. I remembered the Daoist cultivation I had been dedicating myself to for half my life, and the numerous Daoist texts I had read. Suddenly, I had a profound understanding."

    At that moment, he felt as if he had become one with nature, with many profound realizations flooding his mind. The next thing he knew, he was back in the coffin just as before.”

    "Could this be... a realization of the Dao!"

    Upon hearing George's explanation, including Li Yelan, all the slightly older members of the tribe were staring intently, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

    Meanwhile, some of the younger generation were exchanging glances, not understanding what it meant to have realized the Dao.

    It turns out that the great Daoist texts all have records of this: when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, there is a possibility of uniting with heaven and earth, thereby realizing the Great Dao.

    Those who have realized the Dao not only see great improvement in their cultivation, but their lifespan can be greatly extended, and even living for several centuries is not impossible.

    However, such events have always been legendary and there have been no reports of anyone actually reaching such a state, especially in modern times.

    Oh, it's not like there have been none.

    According to the records of our family, the legendary World's Strongest Magician, Kaloridon, who has half of the Li family's blood and is one of the strongest mages in the world, seems to have reached that level. However, this is just a rumor and he has never admitted it himself.

    If it is said that one has realized the Dao, then being able to revive from the dead would be understandable.

    It's just that Grandfather has limited abilities and not much power, and yet he has realized the Dao. This still feels a bit unsettling to everyone.

    However, upon careful consideration, the cultivation level of realizing the Dao seems to be more related to one's mindset rather than just one's power.

    Elder grandfather has lived for ninety-eight years. He can recite all the Daoist texts in our family and has studied all the Daoist laws as well.

    He has never married or had children, devoting all his energy to the pursuit of the Dao.

    Such a level, saying that it is a realization of the Dao, is not entirely impossible.

    "Elder grandfather, have you really realized the Dao?"

    Li Yelan couldn't help but swallow some saliva as she approached to confirm.

    For a family, this is not something small.

    A cultivator who has realized the Dao, even if their strength was weak before, will become one of the top experts in the world.

    Even in history, there are legends of ordinary scholars who, having read through the classics, realized the Dao and became immortals overnight.

    Although some of it may be exaggerated, it's not impossible. Becoming a Taoist master is definitely a possibility.

    The Li family is well known for its Daoist cultivation, but it has somewhat declined recently. Especially among the youngest generation, only Little Li Wolf has the cultivation potential in the direct lineage.

    Fortunately, Little Li Wolf has a high cultivation potential and is already more formidable than many of the adult members of the family.

    Just as Little Li Wolf's growth also requires time.

    If the old ancestor realizes the Dao and strengthens his power, then Li family, apart from her, will have another expert to defend against external threats.

    In those days, Kaloridon emerged from nowhere, crushing all magicians in the East and West, and became the universally recognized strongest wizard in the world. But he also offended many people.

    Their Li family was also subjected to jealousy from many people.

    While Kaloridon was alive, those people naturally couldn't do anything. But things are different after he passed away.

    Especially in the West, some magicians knew that Kaloridon was powerful because he had fused Eastern and Western magic, especially Li family's Daoist arts.

    That's why they have always coveted Li family's Daoist arts and wanted to steal them to become the second Kaloridon.

    Over the years, they have dealt with numerous magicians who snuck into Li family's compound.

    "It should be. I do feel that my magical power has greatly improved, and I have gained many insights into the Dao."

    George nodded and walked out into the open courtyard outside the mausoleum.

    George nodded and then walked out to the courtyard outside the hall of mourning. He waved his hand and bellowed into the sky:

    "Thunder Emperor summoned, Rolling Thunder!"

    In an instant, the entire area of the Hong Kong Peninsula was shrouded in thick clouds. Countless thunderstorms rolled within the dark clouds, as if they were about to descend at any moment, looking extremely terrifying.

    "Sigh!"

    Li Yelan and all the other members of the Li family watched as George performed his thunder magic, which covered the entire Hong Kong Peninsula. Everyone inhaled deeply in horror, and in their hearts, a similar thought occurred to all of them.

    "Fuck, Grandfather is amazing!"

    At this moment, they were completely convinced that the ancestor had indeed realized the Dao.

    Otherwise, how could his strength be raised to such a terrifying level, and even a simple thunder magic could be so terrifying.

    "It seems that it has worked."

    George glanced at the wide-eyed crowd and then waved his hand again to dissipate the dark clouds.

    While he inherited Li Xuan's minuscule magical power and all of his knowledge of Daoist arts, it was impossible for him to display the world's Daoist arts immediately, and he would still need to slowly transform and absorb them.

    In fact, what he had just displayed was the ancient magic of thunderstorms from the Harry Potter world.
