Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1106: Chapter 1022: Acting

”Shuo, Yue, Howling Moon, how many more years do you think you need to break through to Integration?”

Upon returning to Mount Wanxian, Li Zhirui made a point of meeting with the three, but since everyone was focused on cultivation, it wasn’t until over a month later that the four of them finally met.

”Dad, why are you suddenly asking about this?” Li Chengshuo was somewhat puzzled, as her impression was that Li Zhirui always valued a solid foundation and would not normally ask such a question.

”The family is facing some problems now, and we need more cultivators who have reached Integration to support us.” Li Zhirui did not hide the truth, expressing his concerns and the conflict between the Li family and the Zhang Family.

Although Li Zhirui was very confident in his own strength, he was not so arrogant as to think he could counter the entire Zhang Family alone—that would be madness!

The reason he sought out Li Chengshuo and the others was because he saw the tremendous opportunity they had received, which completely transformed them, greatly enhancing their talents.

Therefore, in Li Zhirui’s view, these three were the most likely to achieve Integration in a short period of time!

After listening, Li Chengshuo pondered for a moment and said, ”About a hundred years, and I can strike for Integration.”

”I also need roughly a hundred years.”

”About the same.”

Yue and Howling Moon said as they spoke up.

”So fast! Won’t this impact your foundations?” However, rather than feeling happy with their answers, Li Zhirui showed concern instead.

The safety of the family was indeed crucial, but Li Zhirui did not want to destroy Li Chengshuo and the others’ path of cultivation because of this.

”Don’t worry, Dad. Our bodies are infused with abundant Taiyin Moonlight, there won’t be issues with unstable foundations. Moreover, a hundred years is quite slow for us. If we focus fully on Integration, we can probably shorten it by another twenty or thirty years,” Li Chengshuo explained confidently.

Hearing this, even Li Zhirui, who had encountered many fortuitous occasions, was incredibly shocked by such an astonishing speed of cultivation!

”There’s no need to rush. It will be enough if you can make the breakthrough within about a hundred and twenty years. The Zhang Family will not be able to focus on us for a while,” Li Zhirui not only didn’t press for an answer but further loosened their timetable.

Based on his analysis, the Zhang Family would be licking their wounds and recovering strength over the next hundred years, especially after a succession of misfortunes and great battles which had inflicted heavy losses on them.

If anything unexpected happened during this period, this timeframe would be further extended!

This gave Li Zhirui hope that his family could be spared from disaster.

Once Li Chengshuo and the other two, or even just two of them, achieved Integration, the Zhang Family would no longer consider targeting the Li family.

The loss to the Zhang Family would be significant, and those three other observant powers would definitely not miss such an excellent opportunity.

Moreover, the Li family could also join forces with the Qingzhu Sect and a few other Integration powers to deal with the Zhang Family. Though they were opponents not long ago, interests are ever-changing, and the enemy of one moment could become the ally of the next when interests align.

”You should focus on your cultivation and not waste energy on family matters,” said Li Zhirui, and after speaking, he sent the three back to their own Cave Mansions.

”Cheng Shuo!”

After returning to the Cave Mansion, Yue’s expression immediately grew grave, and she said, ”You heard Uncle Shiling’s words just now. Let’s follow his instructions and not overthink it!”

Yue was concerned that Li Chengshuo might plan to quickly enhance his cultivation, thinking of breaking through in a short time, so she reminded him specifically.

”Don’t worry. I won’t destroy my foundation. In this regard, I truly trust Dad’s abilities. With him around, the family will definitely not encounter any troubles,” Li Chengshuo assured.

”That’s good. But we can’t ignore the family’s peril. As long as there’s no issue or hidden danger, we indeed need to slightly speed up our cultivation,” Yue thought for a moment, taking a more moderate approach.

”Of course!”

The family provided them with considerable help during their growth, and now that they had the capability, it was only natural for them to lend a hand.

Not to mention, if the Li family were to be overwhelmed by the Zhang Family, whether they managed to escape and became Loose Cultivators or fell into the hands of the Zhang Family—becoming slaves or being outright killed—either outcome would be intolerable.

After receiving the responses from Li Chengshuo and the others, Li Zhirui thought for a while, then sent a Communication Talisman to Clan Leader Li Taiyao, before entering a meditation chamber to begin his cultivation.

No matter the situation, as long as one possesses great strength, any challenge can be dealt with easily.

Time flew by quickly, and a great battle in Shanyuan State left the participating Integration powers with significant losses, leading to a strange calm.

But to some, this seemed like a perfect opportunity!

In the Golden Sand Sea Domain, brimming with dense Spiritual Energy and dotted with islands, the Spirit Island established by the Zhang Family was not very famed, but their strength was formidable—with a full ten Integration cultivators and hundreds at the Void Refinement level ensuring its defense.

These normally elusive Integration cultivators were now gathered together, making it apparent that the forthcoming events were anything but ordinary.

”The main family is really too much! To keep squeezing us over and over, demanding we hand over eighty percent of the Spiritual Objects. If we really do that, doesn’t that mean all the Spiritual Objects we’ve worked so hard to cultivate will not end up in our hands?”

One of the Integration cultivators exclaimed indignantly, ”We have the family resources for sustenance, but the clan members on the island don’t have the same treatment as us. Handing over eighty percent of the Spiritual Objects, they would be left without any resources for cultivation!”
