Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 809: Chapter 815: Control

In addition, Li Mingzi had come to ask Zhirui to mobilize the family’s Fourth Order Spirit Beasts, probably worrying that those Spirit Beasts wouldn’t take her orders seriously.

After all, they were Spirit Beasts, and although they had lived with cultivators for a long time, some traits were ingrained in their marrow and couldn’t be changed, such as obeying the strong and despising the weak.

Li Mingzi could use her identity as Clan Leader to command the Nascent Soul members of the family, but to the Fourth Order Spirit Beasts, this identity didn’t hold much binding force.

But when Zhirui stepped in, this issue was non-existent; regardless of his status or personal strength, those Fourth Order Spirit Beasts wouldn’t dare to defy him.

”Mm, you’ve considered everything thoroughly. Once the grade of the Secret Realm is confirmed, I will have Xiaoqing and the others make a trip,” Zhirui agreed approvingly.

He then immediately used Soul Voice Transmission to inform Xiaoqing and Cang, asking them to notify the Fourth Order Spirit Beasts on the island to be ready at all times.

”Also, if it’s confirmed to be a Fourth Order Secret Realm, I’d like Ancestor Qingpeng to go there with a Boundary Fixing Stone to take control of the realm first, before we slowly develop it.”

After a pause, Li Mingzi continued, ”Besides that, there’s also the family’s Fifth Order puppet that should be taken there to develop the realm.”

Upon hearing this, a look of admiration appeared on Zhirui’s face as he praised, ”Very good! Your approach is excellent.”

A Fourth Order Secret Realm, if devoid of Devil Beasts, would be manageable, but if there were Devil Beasts, it was very likely that a Fourth Order perfection Devil Beast could emerge—and probably more than one.

Facing such powerful Devil Beasts, the Li family actually didn’t have much ability to counter them.

It may seem that the Li family had Zhirui, a Divine Transformation, to oversee, but due to the restrictions of the Secret Realm, he couldn’t enter the realm!

Thus, they could only send Cheng Huo, Xiaoqing, and a few other Nascent Soul members, along with other clan members, to develop the realm, which you can imagine was very dangerous.

Hence, Li Mingzi thought that once the realm was confirmed to be Fourth Order, they should first take control of it, making it much more convenient for the Li family to enter the realm, allowing them to concentrate their forces in one place, rather than being randomly transported to some corner.

First, establishing a base and then gradually expanding outward until the entire Secret Realm is swept clean and brought under full control.

Although this method was slow and costly, it was very stable and solid.

Additionally, if the Fifth Order puppet was included, the Li family’s casualty rate would decrease significantly!

”Besides the family’s Fifth Order puppet, I also have one. We should take it along as well,” he added.

A flicker of joy passed through Li Mingzi’s eyes as she responded, ”Thank you, Ancestor Rui!”

With two Fifth Order puppets, the risk involved in developing the Fourth Order Secret Realm would be greatly reduced!

”Go back and prepare. Once there’s a definite update, inform me with the Jade Token.” Having said all that needed to be said, Zhirui let Li Mingzi leave first.

After all, no matter the grade of the Secret Realm, her role as Clan Leader would keep her very busy.

Li Mingzi bowed respectfully and slowly departed from the Secret Realm, then flew back to the clan’s grand hall at the fastest speed to await further news.

Meanwhile, during her conversation with Zhirui, Cheng Huo had already brought a group of Golden Core clan members to the location where the Secret Realm had emerged.

Li Xianxun was studying cultivation techniques; Li Mingyao was researching Fourth Order Earth Tunneling Talismans. Both of them were busy and unwilling to come over on their own. Though Cheng Huo also had matters to attend to, they were not urgent, so he was the one who came.

With the aid of the detection method, the outcome brought both joy and concern—the joy was that this indeed was a Fourth Order Secret Realm, which contained a multitude of precious Spiritual Objects, dense Spiritual Energy, and vast expansible Spirit Fields.

The concern, however, was the possible existence of Devil Beasts or other native forces within the Secret Realm. Whatever they were, having lived in the Spirit-rich Secret Realm for who knew how many years, how weak could their strength be?

”Immediately inform the Clan Leader!” Li Chenghuo commanded with a serious expression.

After their series of detections, the gateway to the Secret Realm had faded considerably, and it would probably not be long before it closed.

Who knew when this Secret Realm would appear in the world again? They absolutely couldn’t miss it!

The moment Li Mingzi received the message, he relayed the information to Li Zhirui, who then used Soul Voice Transmission to command the already prepared Fourth Order Spirit Beasts to set off.

Xiaoqing and Cang couldn’t say they had no objections; they both had plans to go into seclusion to quickly break through to the Fifth Order. Who knew how much time this Fourth Order Secret Realm would delay them.

But there was no helping it; these were Li Zhirui’s orders.

Moreover, Li Zhirui also promised the two that they could select a Fifth-order Spiritual Object from within the Secret Realm. If they weren’t satisfied, they could choose one from his treasury.

As for the other Fourth Order Spirit Beasts, they weren’t treated as well, but Li Zhirui didn’t overlook them and promised each of them five bottles of Top-Tier Treasure Pills to compensate for the cultivation time they would lose while developing the Secret Realm.

”Don’t resist; I’ll take you there. Along the way, Cang, refine the Boundary Fixing Stone so we can directly control the Secret Realm upon arrival, and you can also enter with the help of the Boundary-Arranging Device,” Xiaoqing told the fellow Fourth Order Spirit Beasts.

Xiaoqing’s mastery over the wind had reached the realm of perfection, so even by flying with everyone, he could still reach at his fastest speed to ensure the Secret Realm would not close.

The latter was also to save time; the use of the Boundary Fixing Stone was very simple. It was just split into two parts, large and small. The larger part was to be merged into the Secret Realm, and the smaller needed to be shaped and a few prohibitions installed.

Upon hearing this, everyone relaxed, and then they felt a breeze lifting them up. Before they could react, the surrounding scenery began to change exceedingly fast, and even with their sharp eyesight, it was nearly too fast to see clearly.

In less than half an hour, they had arrived where the Secret Realm was appearing to the world.

Xiaoqing, holding the large portion of the Boundary Fixing Stone that Cang had split during the journey, instructed everyone, ”I’ll go ahead. Once the artifact responds, you should immediately bring people inside and set up the Defensive Formation. I’ll find you with the positioning device.”

Although he was a Spirit Beast, Xiaoqing had Li Zhirui behind him, and his strength was the strongest among them, so naturally, there was no opposition.

Having said that, Xiaoqing alone flew straight into the gateway of the Secret Realm, while others all waited in the outside world.

Meanwhile, Wanxian Island also dispatched more clanspeople to come, since establishing a base required no small number of resources.

The Spiritual Objects brought by the previous groups were limited, and those who came brought a large amount of materials, arriving just in time! Because they hadn’t yet gone in.

Several Cloud Whale ships hovered in midair, quietly waiting for Xiaoqing’s message.

Less than half an hour after Xiaoqing had entered, the gateway slowly started to fade, blending into the heavens and the earth.

Soon after, the Boundary-Arranging Device held by Cang suddenly reacted.

”Get ready! Follow me into the Secret Realm!”

Cang shouted loudly, ”Leave some clanspeople to guard the nearby sea areas, and forbid any living being from approaching this place!”
