Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1351: Chapter 1144: Sun and Moon_2

The farsighted rulers within the family have always sought to change these problems, but unfortunately, the effects have not been great, since in this region, there are fewer and fewer threats to the Li family’s safety.

Born and raised in such a tranquil environment, even though the Li family has never been lenient in the training of its members, they cannot completely eradicate the enjoyment and indolence that have seeped into their very bones.

Because training cannot last forever, there is always an end to it.

They might change during training, but once back in the clan, they quickly forget about it.

It’s hard to go from extravagance to frugality, but easy to go from frugality to extravagance!

That is the principle at play here.

And the threat of the Ghost Clan places the family at risk of extinction, creating a favorable opportunity for internal reform for Li Xinde and a group of Elders.

Unfortunately, this reform is limited and cannot prevent the various inevitable drawbacks and issues within the entrenched powers.

At least, for now, the Li family has been stimulated and threatened by the Ghost Clan, and their internal issues have begun to ease.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

As the story goes, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo returned to the starry sky not long before Ziwei sent someone to invite them to the Beidou Star System, and then took them to meet several Yin Gods.

”Bochuan, Changju, and Mingyou, though they are mere Human Immortals, these three come from the most powerful factions within the Yin God lineage, namely the Earth God, War God, and Reincarnation God.”

The divine positions of the first two are easy to understand, but the Reincarnation God, although sounding high-end in its divine position, is not so in reality.

Because reincarnation cannot be manipulated by human power, these Reincarnation Gods, even more so, cannot use such defying abilities, and are only involved in tasks like counting and guiding True Spirits for reincarnation.

If not for the immense importance of reincarnation, these Reincarnation Gods would not have such a high status.

Ziwei pointed out, ”If the two Star Lords wish to go to the Netherworld and light the Yin Sun and Yin Moon, it is impossible to avoid these three factions. If you can make friends with them, there is no need to worry about being attacked by the Ghost Clan.”

”Thank you, Emperor!”

The two expressed their gratitude sincerely.

As they spoke, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo saw the three Netherworld Divines.

Unlike any Gods they had seen before, the three before them were surrounded by Yin Qi, silently deep and somber, such a distinct aura that it could be recognized at first sight.

Introduced by Ziwei, the group exchanged greetings and thus got acquainted with each other. Soon, Ziwei excused himself, leaving the five to converse.

”According to Emperor Ziwei, you two are the Sun and Taiyin Gods and now wish to go to the Netherworld to light the Yin Sun and Yin Moon to increase your authority?”

Bochuan, on behalf of the three, asked directly, ”But what’s in it for us?”

”The Ghost Clan also approached my sibling and me, willing to dedicate the full strength of their clan to allow us to light the Netherworld’s Sun and Moon, merely asking us to slightly favor them when operating the Sun and Moon,” Li Chengsheng said calmly.

The tone was flat, but the meaning in the words sent chills down the three’s spines.

The conditions offered by the Ghost Clan were too generous! They almost didn’t have to pay anything to gain the authority of the Netherworld’s Sun and Moon.

But Bochuan quickly calmed down, saying, ”If the two Star Lords were tempted, why would you contact us through Emperor Ziwei?”

”So, it seems you two Star Lords also realize the Ghost Clan’s power is weak, thus unwilling to get entangled with them.”

A flash of insight crossed Li Chengsheng’s eyes. Indeed, this Bochuan Earth God was exceptionally astute, immediately catching the key issue.

”The Honorable God is correct, the Ghost Clan is weak, but most importantly, my sibling and I do not wish to be dragged into disputes between you two factions. So if fate allows us to become the Netherworld’s Sun and Moon Gods, we will only leave a sliver of Spirit Division to operate the Sun and Moon and exercise authority without interfering in the Netherworld’s conflicts.”

Upon hearing this, Bochuan shook his head and said, ”As celestial bestowals unto Star Lords, the Netherworld’s Sun and Moon naturally belong to you two. However, in the Netherworld, they belong to the Yin God lineage, so after lighting the Sun and Moon, you should join us in dealing with the Ghost Clan.”

”The Sun and Taiyin are unfeeling; my sibling and I have always upheld this principle.”

Bochuan squinted his eyes slightly, glaring at the two, as if trying to discern if they were lying, but the truth left him silent.

The two in front of him were not lying at all.

In fact, the Yin God Sect had considered appointing their own Yin Sun and Yin Moon Gods and had taken action, but ultimately failed to receive the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, unable even to light the Sun and Moon.

The whole process was akin to a farce.

So after countless years, the Netherworld still had no Sun and Moon.

Moreover, unbeknownst to Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, it wasn’t just the Ghost Clan; even the Yin Gods wanted to approach the Li family to invite them to negotiate the matter of the Netherworld’s Sun and Moon.

But before they could act, the others had proactively reached out, allowing them to take the initiative and even saving on the gift-giving segment, preserving many Spiritual Objects.

Unfortunately, the two could not integrate into the Yin Gods.

Never mind, at least they won’t ally with the Ghost Clan.

”If the Honorable Gods are willing, you can come with us now to the Netherworld to light the Sun and Moon, increasing your authority.” Bochuan invited with a smile.

Even if they couldn’t become Yin Gods, maintaining a good relationship was still necessary!

Because the Netherworld’s Sun and Moon are also very important, especially under the circumstances where the Sun and Moon have been dim for countless years, leading to an extreme imbalance of Yin and Yang among the people of the Netherworld, adversely affecting local beings.

The Netherworld does not solely contain Yin Qi; all things and all living beings in the world cannot exist with only Yin or Yang Qi; extreme Yin and extreme Yang only exist in legends.

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo exchanged a glance, not expecting the journey to be so smooth.

”We are most willing! Only we ask the Honorable God to lead the way.”

The Netherworld had only recently returned to people’s attention, and the two had been in seclusion in the Divine Domain for years, not very familiar with the outside world, let alone the methods of entering the Netherworld.

”Please follow me.”

Bochuan and the other two led the way. Upon leaving the Beidou Star System, they directly opened a portal in the open Star Realm, and on the other side was the dim and serene Netherworld.

”Please!”

However, Li Chengsheng was very interested in the method that could open a spatial portal in the Void. If he mastered it, could he return directly from the Sun Star to Mount Wanxian?

With curiosity in his heart, he pondered and asked, ”Honorable God Bochuan, may I ask what method you just employed, and is it possible to teach it?”

”Do you think it’s some kind of teleportation? Crossing thousands or tens of thousands of miles in just a blink of an eye.”

Bochuan chuckled softly, shaking his head, ”This method is not as you imagine. The Netherworld is dependent on the Yang Realm, a concept of two sides of the same entity, which is why it can be done.”

In contrast, if it were another place in the Primal Spirit Realm, breaking through space, stabilizing a space passage, then breaking through another space, the difficulty of this is unimaginable.

This is also why, although the Primal Spirit Realm has developed exceedingly well, large-scale teleportation arrays have not appeared.

It’s not that they cannot be created, but the cost of using them is too great.

”I oversimplified it.”

As they conversed, the five had already arrived at the Netherworld.

Before long, they arrived at the edge of a vast, bottomless pit.

”This place used to be sealed by Yin and Yang worlds, the violent shock caused the collapse of the Yin Sun and Yin Moon, and many fragments fell here.”

Bochuan paused, saying, ”If you wish to light the Sun and Moon, you must try to draw these Sun and Moon Fragments out, then find a way to fuse them with the remnants in the high sky.”

But surprisingly, as soon as Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo appeared at the edge of the pit without doing anything, sun and moon fragments from deep in the earth seemed to be summoned and emerged on their own!
