Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

If a solution were so easy to find, why would powerful races like the dragons and phoenixes still be on the run?

"I'd like to keep the remaining two pieces as a deposit."

Li Lan said, "Let's discuss another business deal. I'll go to Sin Prefecture to find you a source of immortal energy, and in return, you'll help me teach the Yuan Clan how to cultivate. How about that?"

"For every True Core cultivator you produce, I'll give you a piece of Immortal Essence; for every Nascent Soul cultivator you produce, I'll give you ten pieces!"

The Abyss Clan urgently needs to improve its strength, and cats are their greatest asset.

The cat looked at him and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me one more thing."

"what?"

"When you attain enlightenment, I will need to borrow your Dao Realm."

Li Lan asked in confusion: "The Dao Realm?"

The cat nodded: "Do you know why many cultivators establish lineages or immortal clans?"

Li Lan said, "Humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? Even the strong have family and friends they wish to care for, so they establish their lineages and pass down their magic..."

"When you reach a certain point, you have to cut off your own life. Cultivators achieve immortality and transcend worldly concerns. Once they reach a certain point, family and friends become nothing more than obstacles to them."

Li Lan said, "In that case, establishing a Daoist lineage and an immortal clan would surely be of great use to them?"

The cat nodded: "To attain enlightenment, one must condense a Dao Realm, which is a world that can bear one's own Dao."

"Establishing an immortal clan and passing down cultivation techniques are all ways of cultivating one's own Dao realm!"

Li Lan suddenly realized!

So, by establishing the Abyss Clan, he is, in a way, paving the way for the future?

“I can help you create a Dao Realm that is unique throughout history, but the karmic consequences are immense. Perhaps one day you and your people will die because of this… Think it over before you come back to me.”

The cat yawned and prepared to go to sleep again.

"No need to think about it, I agree."

Li Lan spoke directly!

He was by no means a hesitant person. As the saying goes, once the Way is achieved, the world is far away, but the matter at hand was urgent.

Moreover, if he were to truly attain enlightenment one day, even if he didn't bear the karmic consequences of the cat, how could he possibly remain unscathed during the era of the source's revival? He would still face endless troubles.

Since that's the case, why think so much about it!

"Okay, deal!"

With a swift grab of its tiny paw, the cat seized the remaining two pieces of Immortal Essence from Li Lan. "From today onwards, the Abyss Clan is under my protection!"

Li Lan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "By the way, you should have a title, so how about you take on the role of Supreme Protector of the Yuan Clan?"

The cat thought for a moment and said, "That works too."

Li Lan immediately said, "Guardian, a member of the Immortal Clan is coming. Their strength should be above the Dao Integration Realm. I would appreciate it if you could lend me a hand..."

The cat paused for a moment, then looked at Li Lan with its clear cat eyes.

She's been tricked by Li Lan; he's orchestrated this step by step to get her to help him!

At this moment, Li Lan felt inexplicably uneasy.

"I suddenly feel a little regretful..."

Cat Sister suddenly spoke up: "You're already in trouble right after the transaction is complete. You're not going to get into a lot of trouble in the future, are you?"

The cat already possessed unfathomable abilities, and Li Lan almost suspected that it had foreseen something.

"Will I become an emperor in the future?" Li Lan suddenly asked.

"You... ptooey! You actually dared to trick me into telling you something!"

Cat Sister realized what was happening and immediately became furious. She slapped out with her paw, sending Li Lan flying backward. He stumbled and fell outside the forest.

"I won't go out. I can't be bothered with what's going on outside. If you cause trouble, you'd better watch out!"

Cat Sister's voice came through.

Li Lan couldn't help but smile, patted the dust off his clothes, and turned to leave.

And after he left.

On the Xianyuan mineral vein.

"There are many causes and effects in one's destiny, and one is burdened with an unclear fog of fate... It's just too troublesome."

The cat scratched at the ground, and a phantom image appeared before her eyes. In that image, she could only see Li Lan's back; he was turned away from all living beings and everything else, but all around him and in front of him was an indistinct mist…

"Meow, no way, I need to invest in a few more. Someone like Li Lan might end up at the source in the future."
