Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1290: Chapter 1114: Sea Clan

Unfortunately, that magical Treasure Map can only reflect the terrain within a radius of ten thousand miles in real time. If it could include more content, it would be ideal.

For instance, Spirit Veins, mineral veins, Spiritual Objects.

If Li Zhirui’s idea could be realized, it would not be a Treasure Map, but a Treasure Hunting Map.

Regrettably, Li Zhirui is not an Artifact Refiner. He does not understand the function of those complex restrictions, but even at his current Realm of observation, he still feels dizzy and overwhelmed!

In other words, even if the Li family had an Individual Immortal Realm Master Artifact Refiner, it would still not be possible to modify the Treasure Map. It would require a higher Realm to achieve it.

Therefore, without the location of the ruins, the Treasure Map, though magical, is merely a tasteless piece of chicken rib that is pitiful to discard yet retains, only kept for future plotting should the family grow strong enough to attempt it.

Just as Li Zhirui resolved the attack from Xu Shenzhang and the other two against the family, Wanling Island over the East Sea also started to abandon this place, retreating to their clan’s territory.

It’s not that they are unwilling to stay here; after all, the Li family doesn’t know how much effort and resources were spent in building this Spirit Island.

But who could have imagined the Sea Clan would charge with such momentum, rolling as if unstoppable?

Ever since the Cave Abyss Sect willingly gave up the near-sea territory, a huge breach appeared in the Immortal Tao defensive line, and the Sea Clan immediately deployed their army, splitting into north and south, to encircle and purge the Immortal Tao territory.

The speed was so fast that many Immortal Tao influences didn’t even have time to react and were completely surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Water Devils. If they had soared into the sky to escape at the first moment, they might have been able to save their own lives.

But many cultivators couldn’t bear to leave behind the numerous Spiritual Objects on the island, so they thought to delay for a moment. However, in the brief moment of one or two instances, which they didn’t take seriously at all, they met their end and became food for the Water Devils.

Actually, they can’t really be blamed for being greedy, because in the vast near-sea region, there aren’t just forces like the Li Family that set up a branch house; there are even more small forces with their roots there.

If they don’t try to take some Spiritual Objects away, even if they escape with their lives, it will be very difficult to survive in this chaotic world.

That being said!

Although the Sea Clan took the territory with extreme speed, Wanling Island is near the northern end of the East Sea, which is still a considerable distance away, and in theory, it should take them some time to attack.

However, upon learning that the Li family had killed numerous groups of Water Devils recently, the Water Devil army advancing north split into two again and directly attacked Wanling Island.

And even so, that Sea Clan force was still exceptionally powerful, with no less than ten Individual Immortals!

Such formidable power is not something the Li family can resist, so they can only withdraw from this place to save themselves.

If it weren’t for the winds of an Individual Immortal on the island who perceived something amiss early and warned Li Zhixuan and the others, they probably wouldn’t have been able to retreat safely like this.

The originally mist-shrouded, rainbow-lit, Spirit Beast chirping fairyland rapidly fell into defeat, completely losing its past brilliance and splendor.

The reason for this is because Li Zhixuan and others extracted most of the Spirit Veins, only ensuring that this place wouldn’t collapse from losing them and thus not staining themselves with karma.

Without the rich Spiritual Energy, it naturally transformed from a blessed land to a scene like this of ordinary people.

”Someday, we will come back!”

Li Zhixuan gazed at the empty Wanling Island and declared as if making a vow.

The Moon Serpent didn’t say anything, only softly said, ”Let’s go, the Sea Clan isn’t far from us.”

The Individual Immortal named Fengxi had issued several warnings. The Sea Clan army was only about a hundred miles away. If those Water Devils of the Immortal Realm came rushing, it would be no more than half an instance; if they didn’t hurry to leave now, it would be difficult to escape!

And as they stood on the Cloud Boat, they could vaguely see the massive waves stirred up by the countless Water Devils rushing forward, waves tens of feet high making anyone below feel small and in awe of the heavens and the earth.

”Let’s go!”

Although Li Zhixuan very much wanted to engage in a fierce battle with those Water Devils, she couldn’t ignore the safety of tens of thousands of clan members behind her.

At the moment the Cloud Boat activated, it instantly induced the restrictions to their extreme, transforming into a stream of light that cut through the sky and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

In truth, while Li Zhixuan and the others saw the Sea Clan, those Water Devils saw them too!

Originally, they planned to charge directly up and give these cultivators a good lesson, to let them know that the Sea Clan wasn’t something they could provoke or offend.

But they didn’t expect them to retreat immediately. Although their speed was quick, it wasn’t that the Sea Clan couldn’t catch up, but they were somewhat worried about an ambush existing, so they ultimately chose to forgo.

Before long, the Cloud Boat, operating under heavy burdens, returned to Mount Wanxian.

”Is everyone alright?”

Upon hearing the commotion, Li Zhirui promptly flew out to inspect the situation, looking towards the rear for any trailing Sea Clan troops. Fortunately, there were none, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

”Rest assured, Jiu, we had retreated in advance when the Water Devil army arrived,” Li Zhixuan recounted their ordeal.

Li Zhirui exclaimed with amazement, ”I didn’t expect the Sea Clan to really give it their all to regain the near-sea region.”

”Ha! If those major powers weren’t each harboring selfish intentions, how could it have come to this situation?” Li Zhixuan sneered, speaking disdainfully.

The near-sea region, not only extremely large in area, had already become very prosperous after years of development by the Immortal Tao. Every year, it was unknown how much Spiritual Objects it provided to their respective homes.

But now, all of it has been taken by the Sea Clan!

It’s important to know that forces like the Li family, which prepares early, aren’t numerous. When they realize the danger is approaching, they wouldn’t have expected the Sea Clan to arrive so quickly, resulting in having little time to organize a defense and ending up scattering like a defeated army.
