Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1211: Chapter 1074: Stationed_2

”Although we’ve killed quite a number of devil beasts, strictly speaking, we’ve not even cleared a quarter of the territory.”

Jiang Fengwu’s words changed the expressions of everyone present.

They originally thought that with so many spiritual objects obtained, the development of the secret realm would go well, but the reality was quite different.

They forgot that a large portion of the spiritual objects brought back were the ’entrance tickets’ of other cultivators.

”The next operation is in half a year, so I’ll need to trouble the elders to prepare more spiritual objects.” Jiang Fengwu made her request.

Li Taichang paused and said, ”Ancestor, why not rest for a longer period?”

Half a year seemed tight to prepare more spiritual objects.

Especially since the family’s accumulation over the past few years had nearly been exhausted in this operation.

Because the preservation requirements for spiritual objects are high, most forces only store them for a few years to reduce costs, then start a replacement cycle.

The Li family was no exception.

”The devil beasts in the secret realm are about to start a great war. We should seize the opportunity when the beasts are weak, using the power of other cultivators to kill as many beasts as possible since the family can’t always let other cultivators enter the secret realm.”

Jiang Fengwu briefly explained the situation in the secret realm. Li Taichang and others, not lacking insight, realized the opportunity couldn’t be missed. They promised to gather more spiritual objects.

”Rest assured, Ancestor, we will do our utmost to prepare the spiritual objects.” Li Taichang assured.

”Then for the time being, it will be hard on all of you.”

After speaking, Jiang Fengwu rose to leave. Despite possessing Integration cultivation, she felt a bit fatigued.

She hadn’t rested properly for three or four days, since the great battle with the tiger devil, staying busy continuously, naturally feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Li Zhirui, who had been in seclusion cultivating within the family, learned of Jiang Fengwu and others’ return.

Considering they must have been exhausted during this period, he believed they were resting, so he didn’t seek them out.

Besides cultivation and comprehending the Laws over several months, Li Zhirui also took time to study an Eighth Rank pill recipe—Zhenhua Buque Dan.

However, the Zhenhua Pill was quite difficult to refine, and the family lacked the spiritual objects for it, so his research aimed to learn the method, attempting to deduce an Eighth Rank recipe himself.

Li Zhirui indeed had many Eighth Rank spiritual objects and might use them as primary ingredients to deduce a feasible recipe.

What he desired, however, was not a cultivation elixir, but a precious pill for mana recovery.

Li Zhirui intended to bypass the Tribulation Transcending Realm and directly lead into Ascension Thunder Tribulation, which made mana recovery a crucial issue, requiring early preparation.

As for treasures like Ten Thousand Years Jade Marrow, such heavenly materials, and earthly treasures were not easily obtained.

The few small bottles he had before were treasured for many years, and buying them externally? Simply impossible.

But Li Zhirui wasn’t in a rush, as he had just broken through the Mahayana stage, with time to ponder, deduce, and perfect the desired recipe.

Speaking of which!

Knowing Jiang Fengwu and team’s next plans from Li Taichang, Li Zhirui spared some time specifically to refine precious pills for them.

As a part of the family, it’s natural to contribute to such matters benefiting family development!

Moreover, sometimes when divine sense and mana are exhausted, the speed of cultivation during meditation and recovery is even faster than usual, so it doesn’t delay his cultivation.

As flowers bloom in pairs, let each be expressed in their own way.

Meanwhile, in the secret realm, with cultivators retreating and their bases hidden, the internal war among devil beasts erupted swiftly without external threats!

The devil beasts didn’t realize the Li family had mastered the secret realm’s teleportation magical treasure, believing as their inherited memories told them, the secret realm would open again after a long time.

With no worries, among beasts following the law of the jungle, how could they spare those heavily wounded clans?

Especially the Eagle Clan and Python Flood Dragon Clan, knowing about the Tiger Clan’s enormous losses and fall in strength, immediately rallied their kin, rushing to the Tiger Clan’s territory.

Originally skeptical, along the way, seeing few devil beasts and no resistance convinced them of the rumor spreading suddenly.

Now certain of the Tiger Clan’s weakness, this golden opportunity to expand territory and eliminate a long-time rival couldn’t be missed.

Roar!

The Tiger King Yazi glared at the Eagle King and Python Flood Dragon King in front of him, roaring furiously, ”Do you truly intend to tear the mask off with me?”

”Hahaha, Tiger King, in your current state, if we don’t kick you when you’re down, should we wait for you to recover?”

The other two devil beasts no longer regarded the Tiger King, as, in their eyes, he was already as good as dead!

The two Seventh Rank pinnacle devil beasts joining forces, wasn’t it easy to handle the Tiger King?

The fierce battle ensued, the Tiger King fought desperately, using his trump card against the Eagle King and Python Flood Dragon.

Facing a desperate Tiger King, the Eagle King and Python Flood Dragon King dared not approach, fearing if injured, they’d be targeted by the other.

What was expected to be a quick victory over the Tiger King dragged on, causing the Eagle King’s two devil beasts much embarrassment.

But the Tiger King couldn’t hold out forever, not able to maintain such high-intensity output continuously.

Yet the evading two devil beasts still retained much of their strength.

After much effort, they were finally able to kill the Tiger King.

”We’ll split this body in half.” said the Eagle King.

The Python Flood Dragon didn’t dispute, as they had more matters to attend to, such as occupying the territory and receiving new vassals.

Moreover, with their strengths evenly matched, fighting benefitted neither.

After eliminating the Tiger Clan, disputes occasionally erupted between the two major groups in the scramble for more territory, further souring their already strained relations.

The cultivators disrupted the devil race’s three-legged balance, while the devil beasts themselves utterly destroyed the tripartite balance, turning the secret realm into a two-sided confrontation.

Initially, the battles were on a small scale, but as more devil beasts from both sides joined, and conflicts intensified, the two clans showed signs of becoming deadly enemies.

Li Chengshuo and others hiding at the base, though not participating in the fight, used secret techniques and magical treasures to keep track of the progress between the two clans.

”At this rate, the two clans will surely become mortal enemies. We might not even need to intervene; they might resolve it themselves,” Da Qing remarked softly.

”Uncle Da Qing, you’re right in a way, but the family isn’t willing to wait that long,” Li Chengshuo laughed, shaking his head.

They initially agreed to allow other forces’ cultivators to enter the secret realm again to resolve the devil beasts quickly and develop the secret realm sooner, unable to wait for such a lengthy period.

...

Spring passed and autumn came, and half a year quickly elapsed.

On the day of entering the secret realm, numerous cultivators flocked in, even more than the first time!

It seemed that some forces and loose cultivators believed the secret realm was no longer as perilous, wanting to acquire more spiritual objects, knowing well this would be the Li family’s last major opening of the secret realm. Missing this chance meant possibly never having another.

They weren’t wrong in these assumptions.

Now the devil beast numbers inside the secret realm had considerably decreased, and the unresolved conflict between the Eagle Clan and Python Flood Dragon Clan had only worsened.

During this half-year, several not-so-small-scale battles had erupted between the two clans, with both sides having victories and losses.

With fixed teleportation points, there was no worry of being unluckily attacked by devil beasts upon entry.

After resolving most devil beasts this time, even if unable to eliminate them all at once, the remaining ones wouldn’t need outside help anymore—the Li family had ample strength to handle them.
