I will definitely help you find this Innate Dao Body

In the Imperial Capital of Great Li, before the palace gates, two youths—one in green, one in white—drifted into view.

"Go. Fetch your so-called Lord of Great Li and bring him to this young master."

Li Wencheng spoke with an air of arrogance, commanding the guards stationed before the imperial gates.

"How dare you! Such insolence before the imperial palace—this general will take you down!"

The guards' faces shifted dramatically at Li Wencheng's disrespectful words. Zhou Dashan, the Imperial Gate Commander, erupted in fury, leaping into the air as his hands transformed into Eagle Claws.

His momentum was fierce, his intent clear—to seize Li Wencheng without mercy.

Li Wencheng stood rooted to the spot, unmoving, watching Zhou Dashan's ferocious assault with a flicker of disdain in his eyes. He even found the leisure to chat idly with the green-robed youth beside him.

"Third Brother, this Great Li truly is a barren land. Even at the Grandmaster Realm, their martial arts are so shallow—utterly unsightly."

Li Wencheng flicked his sleeve, and it carried the force of a thousand pounds, sending Zhou Dashan hurtling backward. The commander slammed hard into the city wall before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Seeing as you're still somewhat useful, this young master will spare your life today. Now, hurry up and summon your Lord of Great Li."

Zhou Dashan's face was deathly pale, blood spilling from his lips, his eyes wide with shock and terror.

That youth had merely waved a hand, yet his soft sleeve had struck like Vajra. Had the boy held back, Zhou Dashan's bones would surely have been shattered.

He realized then that this arrogant young man might indeed come from an extraordinary background.

So young, already a Grandmaster, wielding exquisite Mystic Methods—such talent was rare even across all of Great Li.

"You... who exactly are you?!"

"A mere mortal creature—worthy of knowing our origins? Hurry, summon your Lord of Great Li. Delay this young master's important business, and I'll raze your Great Li to the ground."

Li Wencheng stood proudly before the imperial gates, not sparing Zhou Dashan a glance, his posture condescending. His words dripped with threat, as if commanding a dog rather than a man.

"Wencheng, no need to stoop to the level of mortal creatures."

The green-robed youth gently scolded Li Wencheng, though there was no real anger in his tone.

He turned to Zhou Dashan, still spitting blood, and said calmly, "I am Li Yiting, and this is my younger brother, Li Wencheng. We hail from the Taixu Profound Realm, of the Li Clan Ancient Clan of the Eastern Continent."

"Today, we've come to the Great Li Imperial Palace on a small matter, seeking a favor from the Lord of Great Li."

"What did you say? You're from the Taixu Profound Realm! You're from an Ancient Clan!"

Li Yiting's casual words struck Zhou Dashan like a thunderbolt from the blue. His face twisted in shock.

As the Imperial Gate Commander, he was no ignorant man—he knew of certain hidden truths.

A Profound Realm was a space-world carved out by a great power. Those capable of such feats had walked deep into the Divine Realm.

The Thirty-Six Ancient Clans of the Eastern Continent—Zhou Dashan understood their terror. They stood utterly above mortal dynasties. Any one of them could annihilate a secular kingdom like Great Li overnight.

No wonder that youth was so young yet wielded such terrifying strength. Only an Ancient Clan could nurture such a young prodigy.

Such figures must never be offended. To cross these two youths would bring annihilation upon Great Li.

"Please wait here, honored sirs. I'll report this at once."

Bracing his grievously wounded body, Zhou Dashan hurried into the palace. But he didn't head for the Golden Throne Hall—he ran toward the Purple Gold Pavilion.

"Two young masters, truly from the Taixu Profound Realm, the Li Clan Ancient Clan?"

Watching Zhou Dashan flee in panic despite his injuries, Li Yiting and Li Wencheng exchanged a smile. Suddenly, a cold, effeminate voice drifted into their ears.

"Who? Who speaks!"

Li Yiting's face changed. That voice had appeared without him sensing a thing.

If this mysterious visitor bore ill intent, he could snatch both their lives in an instant.

Li Yiting's eyes swirled with Dao resonance as he scanned the void. At last, he caught a faint trace in the air to the south.

He clasped his hands and bowed southward. "Your cultivation is profound, sir. Why skulk in hiding? It ill befits a master's bearing."

"Hahaha! As expected of an Ancient Clan scion. A mere Great Grandmaster, yet you've glimpsed a hint of my concealment technique. In a hundred years, you're the first."

A figure in a Mang Robe slowly materialized in the void, no more than three zhang due south of Li Yiting.

Seeing the distance—barely three zhang—Li Yiting's expression turned grim. His clan's Secret Art had only revealed faint, unusual ripples in the southern void.

He'd never imagined this mysterious figure was so close. At that range, killing him would be effortless.

This stranger's strength far exceeded his expectations.

"Impressive, sir. This young master underestimated Great Li. I never thought that in this barren land, in this age, you could still 'Enter the Dao.' Such talent would be noteworthy even among the Li Clan Ancient Clan."

Li Yiting realized that announcing their identity had drawn out Great Li's true hidden power. Faced with such a master, he set aside his pride.

Li Lianying stood in the void, gazing down at the two jade-like youths. His doubts faded.

Barely twenty, yet already Great Grandmasters—such prodigies were outstanding even among the Ancient Clans.

"May I ask what matter brings you to seek the Lord of Great Li?"

"Rest assured, if Great Li can help, we won't stand idly by."

Seeing Li Lianying's open stance, Li Yiting stopped holding back. "Senior, I've come to Great Li to ask its lord to find someone for us."

"Find someone!"

Li Lianying's eyes were full of surprise. He had expected the two Gu clan youths to make some grand request, yet it turned out to be merely a simple search.

"Might I ask who exactly you seek—their name, surname, and appearance?"

"I don't know them either, but this person is an Orphan Girl, now eighteen years of age, adopted by a mortal family."

"Esteemed senior, if Dali can mobilize the entire nation to find an Orphan Girl matching these traits, I will surely offer a generous reward."

Gazing at Li Lianying in the void, Li Yiting gave a faint smile and continued, "Sir, your Lifespan is running low. How about I offer a Pine Crane Pill as thanks?"

"What did you say? A Pine Crane Pill!"

Li Lianying's aura surged abruptly, his eyes gleaming with sharp light, his heart far from calm.

"That's right. As long as you can help me accomplish this matter, I am willing to take out a treasured Pine Crane Pill from our clan and present it to you, senior."

"Fine, but I want two."

Li Yiting paid no heed to Li Lianying's haggling and agreed directly without hesitation: "Alright, two it is."

"Rest assured, you two. Within half a month, I will bring you every Orphan Girl in Dali matching these traits."

With those words, Li Lianying's figure quietly faded from the void.
