Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1023: Chapter 980: Resentment_2

But now it’s different, there are dozens of seriously injured members from the Sea Clan in the Immortal Realm!

With such a huge gap in numbers and no possibility of joining the battle for several years, how long can the remaining Sea Clan members hold out even if they can tough it out?

Especially when the cultivators see that there’s hope to end the great war and achieve victory, they will definitely unleash their combat power!

At that time, how many of the hard-pressed Sea Clan will end up severely injured?

”Very well! You Immortals have won this round, but if you want to occupy the coastal waters, you’ll need to ask the billions of our Sea Clan if we agree!”

The leading Human Immortal of the Dragon Tribe, Ao Peng, quickly realized that they no longer stood a chance of victory on the battlefield of the Immortal Realm, but this did not mean the great war was over!

Although the victory of the great war is ultimately decided by the Immortals of the two factions, the Sea Clan had lost this time, and it is absolutely impossible for them to voluntarily give up the coastal waters.

Thus, in an instant, Ao Peng thought of the battlefield in the Mortal Realm!

Even in the Mortal Realm battlefield, the Sea Clan was at a disadvantage, constantly losing members, but it didn’t matter!

As long as the great war continued, it meant the war was not over, and it would buy them enough time to heal their wounds. After a few years, they could provoke another great war in the Immortal Realm!

”Let’s wait and see!”

Ao Peng snorted coldly and decisively led the Sea Clan away.

”Daoist Liu, what do you think they mean by that?”

”They want to drag it out, heal their injuries, and then fight us again!”

”We have already won!”

”But our goal is not achieved; the coastal area is not yet fully controlled by the Immortals.”

The intentions of the Sea Clan were quickly uncovered.

And to solve this once and for all, it would mean driving the Sea Clan out of the coastal waters before they can heal, and let the cultivators truly occupy this place!

But it is not easy.

The Sea Clan’s numbers are too large, and it might seem that the cultivators have the upper hand, but that’s only because the Sea Clan wasn’t prepared and the cultivators seized the opportunity to set up many schemes.

And after Ao Peng and other Water Devils return, they will definitely crazily gather the Low-rank Sea Clan, continuing the great war for as long as possible.

”So what should we do now?”

By unspoken rules, these people are not supposed to interfere with the Mortal Realm!

If they break this rule, it would definitely lead to endless troubles.

”Call all cultivators from the East Continent, especially the Loose Cultivators, to come here!”

The cultivators from various forces in the East Continent who could come have already come in the first round of the great war; summoning them again would lead to vulnerabilities in their forces, which Devil Beasts might exploit.

But the Loose Cultivators are different, they may not be strong, but they are numerous. If they can come to the East Sea, the Immortals might be able to drive out the Sea Clan from the coastal waters within a year and officially claim it as Immortal territory!

”Yes, the power of Loose Cultivators cannot be underestimated! Especially those Loose Cultivator forces without Spirit Veins, if they are willing to join the battle, they could all receive a First-Order Spirit Vein! And if they make significant contributions, the number or grade of Spirit Veins could increase.”

Don’t think the coastal area is small; that’s a huge region, stretching three thousand miles east to west, and several hundred thousand miles north to south!

The Sea Clan has operated here for tens of thousands of years, and there are countless Low-rank Spirit Veins, which can totally satisfy those Loose Cultivator forces.

However, to attract more Loose Cultivators to come, they set a quota, intending to use this tactic to quickly gather a large number of cultivators.

And there’s another benefit, that if too many cultivators come and the Spirit Veins in the coastal region are all divided up, some cultivators might not get Spirit Veins and cause trouble, then they could bring up this regulation.

A group of Immortals quickly came up with a plan of action and then swiftly got to work.

After all, the sooner the great war in the Mortal Realm ends, the sooner they can incorporate the coastal waters into the Immortal territory.

Actually, there have always been regulations to distribute Spirit Veins to those Loose Cultivator forces, but only in the eastern regions because of the limited number of cultivators.

But this time is different, with the efforts of the Immortals, within just half a month, all the cultivators in the East Continent were aware of their achievements and the call to develop the coastal waters and enhance the strength of the Xiuxian Realm there.

”Let’s go! Hurry to the East Sea! The Spirit Veins our family has sought for decades are within reach!”

”What? Big brother! Are you serious?”

”Of course, I’ll explain on the way, but now summon all clansmen quickly; if we’re late, it might be too late.”

...

This scene of cultivators dashing towards the East Sea wasn’t just a one-off, but involved a great many people!

After all, the skies above the East Continent were continuously shimmering with various Spirit Lights.

And this precisely aligned with the desires of the Immortals, the more who come, the better.

—

Li Family Island.

”Jiu, the great war has completely ended! Most importantly, we won!”

Da Qing rushed to Li Zhirui’s Cave Mansion immediately after receiving the news and with a trembling voice, uttered these words.

Since the Golden-Bearded Shrimp Clan also retreated, Li Zhirui took Xiaoqing and Cang and returned, afterwards, he had been cultivating in the Cave Mansion.

”What did you say?” Li Zhirui was stunned upon hearing and couldn’t quite catch up.

The news was too sudden!

”What happened? Tell me everything that happened during this time,” Li Zhirui sternly asked.

The Immortals had erased the ignoble schemes and actions from the battle, providing only a rough overview.

Also, Da Qing didn’t know much, as most of it was already publicly known.

”Are you saying the wars in many parts of the sea not only continued but intensified?”

Upon hearing Da Qing’s words, Li Zhirui did not focus on the camps’ victory or loss, but showed interest in this remark.

”The Sea Clan surely won’t give up the coastal waters easily! They might be looking to buy time, to clash with the cultivators again!” Cang expressed his thoughts.

”Exactly!”

”That’s why the Immortals summoned the entire East Continent’s cultivators to come to the East Sea, planning to distribute Spirit Veins to them.”

Everyone discussed this matter continuously, but then the conversation shifted towards when they could return.

Knock knock—

Li Zhirui gently tapped the table, breaking off the topic and said, ”We need to be prepared for the war to break out again; after all, under pressure from the Sea Clan, the Giant Pincer Crab Clan has no right to refuse.”

Although the Giant Pincer Crab wanted to conserve its strength to reclaim territories in the East Sea in the future, they dared not disobey the Sea Clan’s orders.

So, unless something unexpected occurs, war will certainly erupt.

”Tell our people to prepare for war, and also tell them that once this war is over, we’re not far from returning home,” Li Zhirui ordered.

And Li Zhirui guessed it right; hidden in the deep sea, wanting to preserve strength, the Giant Pincer Crab Clan received a decree from the various major tribes of the Sea Clan several days ago.

The decree’s content made their expressions very unsightly!

The text was brief, but cruel—it demanded that at any cost, even if only one member of the Giant Pincer Crab Clan remained, they must keep the state of war with the cultivators.

”Do they want the entire Giant Pincer Crab Clan dead?!” a Seventh Rank Crab Devil roared angrily.

This is the biggest flaw of the Sea Clan and Devil Race, made up of countless species, their strength is immense, and their numbers vast; but there lies a massive problem.

That is, each species, more often than not, thinks only of itself or its tribe, rarely considering the whole Sea Clan.

Thus, faced with this naked decree that sent the Giant Pincer Crab Devil Clan to their deaths, they were extremely angry.

But once the rage cooled, they had to face the reality.

To defy orders? They had neither the strength nor the courage.

Hence, there was only one path they could take—to accept the decree.

”We can battle the cultivators, but there’s no need to fight to the death, just to maintain the state of tangled warfare.”

This statement brightened the eyes of many Crab Devils.

By doing so, they fulfilled the tasks assigned by the realms of Immortals and preserved the strength of their race.
