Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1349: Chapter 1143: Transaction (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)_2

”Thank you, Honorable God.”

”The presence of both Star Lords truly brings glory to the Beidou Star System!”

In just a moment, Ziwei personally stepped out to welcome them, showing great enthusiasm.

Though he was already an Earth Immortal, with a significant difference in cultivation compared to the two, and his position as an Emperor in the Heavenly Court surpassed the two siblings, this Emperor Ziwei had never been overbearing or oppressive, always treating others with kindness.

”Emperor, please do not joke, my brother and I are merely small Star Gods.”

A glimmer flashed in Ziwei’s eyes; the humility of these two suggested they were seeking something. Changing what he originally intended to say, he continued, ”It was my oversight; please follow me.”

Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo did not indulge in pleasantries and immediately stated the purpose of their visit.

”Invite me to Mount Wanxian; your father wants to make a deal with the Beidou lineage?”

Ziwei’s face showed a trace of uncontrollable astonishment. He had racked his brains but couldn’t fathom why a mere Individual Immortal family would want to trade with the Beidou Star System.

He initially wanted to refuse, thinking the Li family had nothing that could move him. However, in the end, out of respect for Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, he decided to make the journey.

Even if the trade failed, they would owe him a favor, so why not?

”Then I shall trouble you both to lead the way.”

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo immediately stood up, bowed, and said, ”Thank you, Emperor!”

”Please, Emperor, follow us.”

They led the way, stepping from the starry sky onto the ground, and finally arrived at Mount Wanxian.

Since Li Mingyao brought back the news, Li Zhirui had been waiting for a long time, as if he already knew Ziwei would come.

”Greetings to Emperor Ziwei!”

Seeing his counterpart, Li Zhirui immediately bowed in salute.

”No need for such formality.”

Ziwei smiled and stopped him from bowing, curiously asking, ”May I ask, what does your family intend to trade with the Beidou lineage?”

”Firstly, this special Ancient Magical Treasure!”

As he spoke, Li Zhirui took out a scroll indicating the location of ancient relics.

”Oh? What is unique about this Magical Treasure?” Ziwei asked with some curiosity.

”This Magical Treasure records the topography of the world and can find Spirit Veins, spirit ores, etc.”

”Hmm, it is somewhat special.” Even so, Ziwei was evidently disappointed.

He had harbored a slight expectation but did not anticipate such a trivial Magical Treasure.

”Emperor, the universe is vast and boundless, enriched with countless Spiritual Objects, but because of the lack of direction, it is difficult to mine. This treasure can precisely locate Spiritual Objects.”

After pausing, Li Zhirui continued, ”Perhaps a Master Artifact Refiner could enhance its ability to detect natural disasters.”

”Oh?”

If that were true, this Magical Treasure would no longer be trivial.

As Li Zhirui said, the universe is infinite, and even Ziwei hasn’t explored every corner. The Spiritual Objects in these places are plentiful, and if the Beidou lineage could gain an advantage in this area, it would greatly benefit them!

”So what does your family wish in return?”

”We want the Beidou lineage to help the Li family fend off three Earth Immortal Realm attacks!” Li Zhirui said without hesitation.

”Oh?”

A glint flashed in Ziwei’s eyes; no wonder! It turned out the Li family was in trouble.

”This, I can agree to.”

Li Zhirui breathed a sigh of relief, though he knew that Ziwei’s willingness stemmed not only from the Magical Treasure’s capabilities but also due to the goodwill towards Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo.

In this matter, he was using, even selling out Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo.

”Emperor, please wait a moment; the family has another deal.”

”Oh?”

Li Zhirui hesitated for a few moments before revealing the methods to open a Cave Heaven within oneself to advance to a Minor Thousand World.

”This...”

Now, Ziwei hesitated, as this method sounded not simple, but without more details, he couldn’t gauge its value.

”I would appreciate if you could explain a bit more.”

”Opening a Cave Heaven within oneself provides a place to accumulate Mana and greatly enhances strength. As for the Minor Thousand World...”

”The first two benefits are amplified tenfold, but for the Immortal Realm, the paramount aspect of the Minor Thousand World is its unique ability to comprehend Laws directly.”

Even if those Laws are fragmented, they are still quite useful for some Individual Immortals and Human Immortals.

After listening, Ziwei wasn’t overjoyed; instead, his expression turned more serious, knowing that valuable things require significant sacrifices!

”What cost would we need to bear?”

”The same as before. We hope the Beidou lineage can protect the Li family several times.”

Uncertain if the Ghost Clan would retaliate out of rage, Li Zhirui wanted to prepare multiple measures for the family.

From Li Zhirui’s terms, it was clear that he was offering the Magical Treasure and methods as compensation, employing the Beidou lineage’s protection for the Li family without any subordination.

However, the downside was also apparent; if the Ghost Clan continuously targeted the Li family, they would inevitably succeed once.

But in Li Zhirui’s view, the Ghost Clan was unlikely to do so.

After all, the Ghost Clan was restrained by the Yin God lineage in the Netherworld, unable to divert too much force.

After prolonged contemplation, Ziwei asked, ”Could you tell me how much enmity exists between you and the Ghost Clan?”

”If I say none, would you believe me, Emperor?”

Li Zhirui gave a bitter smile and recounted how the Ghost Clan’s Earth Immortal had approached him, trying to drag Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo into the struggle between the Ghost Clan and the Yin Gods.

After hearing this, Ziwei gave Li Zhirui a deep look.

Previously, he had no interaction with the Li family, merely knowing Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo originated from this small family.

However, after this brief contact, this Individual Immortal cultivator left a deep impression on him.

He could detect major implications from minor details; when facing danger, he was decisive and willing to sacrifice, offering precious Magical Treasures and methods to seek protection for the family.

Ziwei sensed that, given more time for the Li family to grow, under his leadership, they would undoubtedly become one of the strongest forces in the Immortal Tao!

With this thought, Ziwei’s hesitations dissipated.

Providing timely assistance far outweighs adding to an already flourishing success!

If friendly relations could be established with the Li family before they grew strong, it would undoubtedly benefit the Beidou lineage once they reached that level.

Moreover, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo were promising Star Lords!

It was known that these two were destined to become Heavenly Immortal Venerables, as long as they did not err, achieving Heavenly Immortal status was only a matter of time.

Furthermore, the Magical Treasure and methods offered by the Li family warranted several protections from the Beidou lineage.

As for the Ghost Clan’s resentment and hostility? Ziwei did not take it seriously.

As one of the Six Great Emperor Venerables of the Heavenly Court, Ziwei was privy to much more information than the Li family. Although the Netherworld had reappeared, making the emergence of the Ghost Clan and Yin God lineage inevitable, the Ghost Clan was heavily suppressed by the Yin God lineage and occupied only the southwestern corner of the Netherworld.

If Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo build ties with the Yin God lineage instead of the Ghost Clan, they could gain control over the Authority of the Yin Sun and Yin Moon, becoming part of the Yin God lineage!

Nevertheless, the Li family was unable to establish contact with the Yin God lineage!

Reaching out recklessly would only invite suspicion from the Ghost Clan, posing danger to the family.

”It seems that in these two transactions, it is the Beidou lineage who stands to benefit. In that case, I will introduce the two Star Lords to several Yin Gods. This should ensure your family’s safety.”
