Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 505 - 511: Cooperation

In order to arrive at Cang Hai Province as soon as possible, Li Zhixuan and Li Chenghuo both increased the speed of the Spirit Boat to its fastest and journeyed day and night, taking turns at traveling.

Because of the particular circumstances of Green Mountain State, they could only travel by sea, and when passing through the waters of Green Mountain State, they couldnʼt get too close, otherwise, there was a chance they would be discovered by Demon Cultivators, so Li Zhixuan and their companion had to take a detour and travel the longer route.

But doing so led to another problem.

That was the endless Water Devils in the Boundless Sea! They would occasionally launch sudden attacks against the Spirit Boat, hindering their travel.

If it were just low-level Water Devils, at most it would delay them briefly, but perhaps Li Zhixuan and Li Chenghuo were a bit unlucky. Shortly after entering the sea area of Green Mountain State, they encountered a group of Water Devils!

Surrounded by a dozen or so low-level Water Devils, sitting atop an exquisitely crafted Jade Stone Treasure Vehicle, was a third-order Water Devil!

To be more precise, it should be said it was a Water Devil with the bloodline of the Dragon Tribe.

On its left and right sides, appearing to protect it, the half-humanoid Water Devils were also third-order.

Especially the one on the left side, whose aura was restrained and powerful, was indeed a late-stage third-order Water Devil.

”You two, since we have met in this vast ocean, it is also fate. Why not come down and have a chat?” Bai Lingjiang suddenly said with interest.

”Thank you for the invitation, but I still have matters to attend to with my elder at home. Weʼll meet again in the future if fate allows,” Li Chenghuo replied. Not wanting to get entangled with them, he immediately drove the Spirit Boat and sped off towards the south.

”Your Highness, should we chase after them?” a servant asked respectfully.

”No need,” Bai Lingjiang shook his head, then suddenly asked, ”These two came from the north, right?”

”Yes, the two of them should be cultivators from the Li family.” Although apart from Li Zhirui, they could not recognize who anyone else was.

But to the Devil Race, there was a very easy way to identify Li family cultivators; that was the rich Devil Beast aura on their bodies!

After all, living and interacting daily, closer than family, the Devil Beast aura was naturally rich.

Bai Lingjiang always felt there was more to the situation and immediately said, ”Letʼs go back. Have someone check the latest news of the human raceʼs powers.”

”Yes, Your Highness!”

—

”Lady Xuan, how much longer until we reach Cang Hai Province?”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan looked at the map and said, ”Weʼre almost there. Once we arrive, weʼll first visit the Water Spirit Sect and then pay a visit to Wuya Mountain.”

Itʼs not that they didnʼt know that splitting up to act would complete the task assigned by Li Zhirui faster, but the problem was, the proof of their identity and the letter written by Li Zhirui were one of a kind; they couldnʼt split up.

The Water Spirit Sect, located on a peninsula, is a very magical sect!

When the two wanted to visit and enter the mountain, they were told that the visitor quota for the day was already filled, and without an invitation, they wouldnʼt be allowed in, even after revealing their identity and cultivation level.

The magical thing about it was that no matter who you are, as long as you are not a Demon Cultivator and have not betrayed the human race, you could join the Water Spirit Sect!

However, there were only ten slots available each day to enter the mountain, and regardless of cultivation level, after joining, one can only start as an Outer Sect Disciple.

”Lady Xuan, what do we do now?”

Li Zhixuan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, ”You and I will fight outside, using the moves with the biggest fluctuation of Spiritual Energy! But be careful not to touch the Water Spirit Sectʼs Mountain Protection Array, or we wonʼt be able to explain ourselves later.”

Since they couldnʼt get in, they would make the cultivators of the Water Spirit Sect come out!

”Great idea!”

Thus, the two began to exchange blows not far away.

The intensity of the fight could be debated, but the fluctuations in spiritual energy were indeed massive, making it seem as if a small-scale war had erupted.

Soon, a Golden Core cultivator flew out from atop the mountain, landing in front of Li Zhixuan and her companion, with a rather unsightly expression, he asked, ”Fellow Daoists, if you wish to spar, please do so further away.”

”Sorry for the trouble, fellow Daoist, but given the urgency of the situation, and our inability to enter, we had no choice but to resort to this method.”

”Li Zhixuan here, this is Li Chenghuo, we come from the Li family of Wanxian Island in the north,” Li Zhixuan was quite direct in her speech, ”Are you interested in taking over the territory in Green Mountain State?”

”This is not a place for discussion, fellow Daoists, please follow me!”

Quickly, the two were ushered into a grand hall where more than a dozen Golden Core Elders sat.

These were the numbers of Golden Core Elders a Nascent Soul power should have; the Li familyʼs situation was an abnormality, a true oddity.

”You plan to make a move on Green Mountain State?”

”Yes!” Li Chenghuo went into detail about the current situation in Green Mountain State, prompting a flurry of shocked exclamations and disbelief.

”How did the Demon Cultivators pull this off?”

”To possess such secretive and eerie methods, itʼs possible that such a situation exists within our own Sect!”

In fact, many of the Elders were aware of this, but given the presence of outsiders, it was not convenient to discuss. As a result, one somewhat rash Elder spoke out without reservation.

”Enough!”

The Sect Leader called out sharply, then asked, ”Fellow Daoists, how do you propose we divide the territory after taking over Green Mountain State? Are there any other forces involved?”

”Whoever wrests the territory from the hands of the Demon Cultivators will claim it as theirs. Wuya Mountain has already agreed.”

Here, the Li family played a bit of wordplay.

The premise was ʼwresting it from the hands of the Demon Cultivators,ʼ but as the Spiritual Cloud Sect was not part of the Demon Sect, this meant that once all the Demon Cultivators were expelled, the entire chunk of territory belonging to the Spiritual Cloud Sect would belong to the Li family.

”As for other forces, Wuya Mountain will also be participating.”

The crowd didnʼt show much reaction, instead they went straight to negotiating with Li Zhixuan about the timing of the assault and other such matters.

Several hours passed before the two left, heading to Wuya Mountain in the north.

Wuya Mountain wasnʼt as peculiar, letting them enter after a simple notification. Before long, they were inside and soon reached an agreement on cooperation.

The main reason Wuya Mountain and the Water Spirit Sect agreed was their desire for land!

With Spirit Fields, they could cultivate more Spiritual Objects and pursue various cultivation practices.

Not to mention, the resources of Green Mountain State were rich. With this boost, their development could quicken.

——

”Father! Green Mountain State...” As soon as Li Chengshuo returned to Wanxian Island, he hurriedly sought out Li Zhirui, but as soon as he began to speak, he was interrupted.

”Youʼre back? I already know about the situation. Go rest for now, or you could wait for Cheng Sheng,” Li Zhirui said.

Li Zhirui wasnʼt certain heʼd have the chance to take action, but he knew he needed to prepare, so he didnʼt have the time to talk more with Li Chengshuo.

After hearing this, Li Chengshuo was puzzled. He couldnʼt understand how Li Zhirui already knew or why he had contacted Li Chengsheng. With a belly full of questions, he waited at the familyʼs gate for Li Chengsheng to return.
