"Beep... beep... loading... fai... failure..."
The cold electronic voice stuttered and broke off. After a brief glitch, the faint electronic sounds faded without a trace. Even the pale blue panel floating before Su Li flickered a few times before fading and going dark.
Watching this, Su Li wasn't annoyed. He raised an eyebrow and gave a self-mocking smile. "I only had some half-baked ideas based on memories from my previous life, yet I rushed straight into trying to create a system-like information panel. The difficulty is obvious. The road to creating a system is long and arduous. I'll take it slow."
Over the past few years, Su Li had instinctively kept trying to create a system.
He had failed again and again, but he had never given up. After each failure, he carefully analyzed the cause and tried to find a solution.
He knew that only through constant trial and correction could he eventually create a perfect system.
Although Su Li had tried countless times, each attempt had ended in failure.
Sometimes it was because of technical problems, sometimes because of logical errors, and sometimes because he hadn't thought things through.
But no matter the reason for his failures, Su Li wouldn't give up easily. He firmly believed that if he kept working hard, he would succeed.
In the process of creating a system, Su Li had also encountered difficulties and challenges. For instance, his cultivation at the Extreme Dao Supreme Realm was a serious weakness. He had no way to imbue the system spirit with vigorous vitality and immense energy, and this was the main reason he had been unable to make progress.
Over the past few years, Su Li had also continued to grow and improve.
Through constant study and practice, he had improved his technical skills and logical thinking. He had also realized that creating a perfect system required not only technical support, but also deep thought and an understanding of the essence of the problem.
So he kept working to broaden his knowledge and horizons, so he could better face all kinds of challenges and problems.
Although Su Li still hadn't succeeded in creating a system, he had never stopped moving forward. He knew that only by continually trying and working hard could he achieve his goal.
He also believed that as long as he didn't give up, he would eventually succeed in creating a perfect system.
"The road is long and arduous. Hahaha."
After saying this, Su Li walked over to a wooden table carved from a remnant branch of the World Tree. On it sat a plate of rare immortal fruits and a jug of immortal nectar.
Su Li casually picked up a peach from the plate and ate it. Then he lifted the translucent, jade-smooth jug and poured its contents straight into his mouth without a care for appearances. The pale silver liquid inside, crystal-clear and shimmering with a faint immortal radiance, flowed down his throat.
After Su Li drank the nectar and jade dew that would make even True Immortals' eyes burn with desire, he heard his father, Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation, transmit a message to him, summoning him to the main hall to discuss something.
Su Li left the courtyard and followed a winding path toward Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation's palace.
The path seemed like a world unto itself: winding and twisting, dark and desolate. From time to time, bone-piercing winds howled past, making Su Li shiver with bitter cold.
Even Su Li, an Extreme Dao Supreme, couldn't withstand the biting chill. Yet beneath that cold, his will grew ever more resolute, his temperament ever calmer, and his physical constitution stronger than others at the same cultivation level.
His father had built this path specifically for him. It was said to temper his character and improve his cultivation.
Su Li had walked this path back and forth every day since he was ten. By now, he had traversed it countless times, so he soon made his way through.
Just as he was wondering what his father wanted, a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Li'er, where are you going?"
Su Li looked up toward the voice. A stunning woman in a moon-white dress stood not far away, a gentle smile on her face.
She was his mother, True Immortal Moon Radiance.
"Mother," Su Li said with a smile. "I'm going to the main hall to see Father."
"Let me go with you." True Immortal Moon Radiance smiled and tenderly stroked Su Li's head, her face full of affection.
"Mm."
Accepting his mother's loving care, Su Li nodded. He knew his parents shared a deep bond. They were not only Dao companions, but also soulmates.
His mother, True Immortal Moon Radiance, had stood by his father, Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation, from humble beginnings. In ages long past, she had already been at his side, fighting alongside him and sharing his journey every step of the way.
Mother and son walked together, and before long they arrived at Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation's palace.
It was a tall, imposing palace of immense grandeur. Even from afar, the aura of an Immortal King shot straight into the sky, radiating such power that people couldn't help but feel reverence.
Closer in, ripples of the Great Dao spread across the air. Immortal mist shimmering with golden light swirled around the palace, while stirring celestial music rang out without end, washing over the soul and making it feel as if one had entered a blissful and beautiful immortal realm.
Upon entering the palace, Su Li saw a middle-aged man in black robes. He had a resolute face and deep-set eyes. It was his father, Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation.
"Father."
Su Li bowed respectfully and greeted him.
"Chen."
True Immortal Moon Radiance smiled sweetly and went to sit beside Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation on the raised seat. Together they looked like divine lovers, carefree and at ease.
"How has your cultivation been lately?" Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation asked gently, his gaze filled with concern and anticipation for his son.
Su Li answered respectfully, "Everything is as usual, Father."
Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation nodded with satisfaction. He knew how talented and diligent Su Li was in cultivation. He believed his son would go farther and farther along the path ahead—and might even break the eternal curse that no child of an Immortal King could become one himself.
"I called you here because there's something I'd like to discuss with you." Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation spoke steadily, turning to the matter at hand.
Su Li listened quietly. He knew his father must have an important reason for summoning him.
"Next month, the Heavenly Pride Grand Assembly of the Primal Ancient Realm will be held at the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest. Countless famous young prodigies—the descendants of Immortal Kings—will gather to exchange insights on the Dao. Immortal Kings will also visit the forest to impart the Dao and teach their techniques." Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation slowly explained the reason for the gathering.
A glimmer of excitement flashed through Su Li's eyes. He knew how important this assembly was. It was also an opportunity he had been looking forward to.
"As my son, you'll have to go," Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation continued, his tone firm and leaving no room for objection.
Su Li understood that this was an expression of his father's hopes and trust in him. He couldn't let his father down.
"Yes, Father," Su Li replied firmly. He knew this would be an opportunity to climb to even greater heights.
Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation nodded with satisfaction, knowing that his son understood his intentions and expectations.
He believed that at next month's Heavenly Pride Grand Assembly, Su Li would surely shine brilliantly and display his talent and strength.
