Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1391: Chapter 1164: Rapid_2

The triple threat will definitely cause the Li family to suffer heavy losses!

As a result, the Earth God is a person of the Li family; the calculations in the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area completely fell through, losing only territory, gaining no Spiritual Objects, and failing to weaken the strength of the Li family.

The only seeming success was those Individual Immortals, forcing the Li family to abandon a large amount of territory, causing a significant decline in the Li family’s luck.

”Now the Li family must know that we have been scheming behind their backs; next, they will surely be on guard.”

Another Elder said dismissively, ”So what? Can the Li family do anything to us?”

Everyone thought it made sense; they believed the Li family was a threat solely because of its rapid development. But now, they were just some Individual Immortals, incapable of shaking the Cave Abyss Sect.

If they didn’t follow the rules, worry about the Sun God and Moon God, and the Big Dipper faction behind the Li family, the Li family would have been dealt with long ago!

Back then, Li Zhirui used that special Treasure Map and the Secret Technique of developing Cave Heaven within the body to exchange for three interventions of protection from the Big Dipper faction.

And during the first protection, one of the young lords of the Big Dipper faction, Gouchen, was dispatched, leading many to mistakenly believe the Li family had sought refuge with the Big Dipper faction.

This was the Cave Abyss Sect’s greatest concern!

”But since the Li family has already abandoned so much territory, their luck must have decreased a lot, and their benefits plummeted. The goal of suppressing them has been achieved, and now we can focus on dealing with those Ghost Clan to resolve them early.”

Since the goal of suppressing the Li family and slowing their development speed was accomplished, the Sect Leader started to change direction, as currently, the biggest threat to them was the Ghost Clan.

”The strength of the Ghost Clan is not that significant; it’s just that the environment is unfavorable to us. Why not gather a large number of disciples and eliminate them in one shot, so the sect can develop peacefully.”

All the Elders nodded. As the more powerful party, none of them felt the sect’s actions would fail, as the strength gap was quite apparent, and the final winner would only be the Cave Abyss Sect.

Early the next morning, a large number of disciples swarmed out of the mountain gate, flying towards the battlefield.

”Kill!”

The large number of cultivators in perfect condition joined the battlefield, quickly tilting the battle situation in favor of the Cave Abyss Sect, while the Ghost Clan suffered thousands of casualties due to being caught unprepared!

Such heavy losses made the Ghost Clan very angry, and they started to invest more forces, overtaking the Cave Abyss Sect, and coupled with environmental impacts, leading to the defeat of the Cave Abyss Sect!

This result was a slap in the face for the confident Elders. They initially believed the Cave Abyss Sect would achieve a swift victory, but they didn’t expect to be no match for the Ghost Clan.

Whether to maintain dignity or to get revenge, they decided to get serious, deploying more Individual Immortals and Human Immortal disciples to exterminate the Ghost Clan!

An even fiercer battle broke out instantly.

A large number of cultivators poured into the Ghost Clan territory. Perhaps because they had suffered losses before, they didn’t recklessly attack again but planned to first mitigate the environmental suppression, immediately deploying the Lotus Seed Skill to purify the intense Yin Qi.

But what they didn’t know was that the reason the Ghost Clan chose the Wan Family State was not just the heavy prior casualties but because there was a fissure connecting to the Netherworld!

So the Lotus Seed Skill seemed effective, but it was really the Ghost Clan had sealed half of the fissure. Once it was opened, the intense, massive Yin Qi would explode in an instant, sweeping everywhere.

However, there was also a hassle that too much disturbance would attract the attention of nearby Divine beings, who likely wouldn’t let the Ghost Clan keep this area.

Because all Divine beings are tasked with maintaining world order, this is their duty, and the Yin Yang realms shouldn’t have fissures, as it would negatively impact both realms.

So not only the Yin God, but nearby Divine beings would come to mend the fissure.

But if not so, in the face of the Cave Abyss Sect’s fierce attack, they also wouldn’t be able to keep this territory, possibly suffering even greater losses.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Ghost Clan decided to rip open the seal, letting the Yin Qi fully erupt, at least gaining some advantage in the war against the Cave Abyss Sect.

Boom——

Like a monstrous wave, surging and sweeping everywhere, massive Yin Qi instantly refilled the recently purified area, turning the whole region gray and grim.

The Cave Abyss Sect disciples didn’t even have time to rejoice before realizing that their previous efforts were all wasted.

With the Netherworld fissure present, the Ghost Clan’s geographical advantage was very difficult to change!

And for the Cave Abyss Sect, it meant increased pressure and difficulty in eliminating the Ghost Clan.

”Yet facing only part of the Ghost Clan, the sect was repeatedly defeated!”

Several Elders couldn’t accept this fact; despite having greater strength, they lost, which was utterly disgraceful.

But this was the Ghost Clan’s last chance to win. After all, the real strength is undeniable; two Human Immortals in the Ghost Clan, no matter how strong, can’t defeat a dozen Human Immortal Cultivators, right?

So after the Ghost Clan gained victory, they didn’t plan to continue resisting, quickly fleeing into the fissure and returning to the Netherworld.

This left the Cave Abyss Sect frustrated and vexed, with a pent-up fury that couldn’t be unleashed. No way they could chase into the Netherworld, right? That’s not a place for living beings.

The duration of the conflict between the two was not long, merely half a month.

But this short half-month allowed Li Zhirui’s supported fledgling dynasty—the Great Zhou Dynasty—to gain a better foundation for development, as during the war, he took the opportunity to guide a large number of mortals to join.

And as a presence often overlooked, neither side cared where the mortals went.

There were also situations beneficial to the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Firstly, the Yin Qi in Wan Family State; even if the Divine beings cooperated to mend the Netherworld fissure, the local Yin Qi still easily becomes a stubborn ailment, taking quite some time to resolve.

However, this is also a problem for mortals; fortunately, the nascent Great Zhou Dynasty doesn’t need much territory now.

Secondly, spiritual energy is sparse in Wan Family State, with the Yumen He Family in the south; the Cave Abyss Sect wouldn’t occupy this area to avoid direct borders with two major forces.

So it’s very likely that Wan Family State becomes a Land Without Master with no Immortal Dao Influence.

And if that’s the case, the Great Zhou Dynasty could claim the region in full, greatly enhancing the dynasty’s luck with minimal cost.

Hence, Li Zhirui patiently led a large number of mortals to hide in the mountains, calmly developing, waiting to see how Wan Family State would evolve next.

...

The Yin Qi eruption in Wan Family State quickly caught the attention of the Yin God, along with a few nearby small Divine beings who appeared intending to get a share of the merit.

As an expert in this field, the Yin God teamed up and, with the help of other Divine beings, quickly repaired the fissure, stopping the unlimited flow of Yin Qi from the Netherworld.

After completing the task, the Divine beings left Wan Family State directly, and facing the broken, sparsely spiritual territory, no cultivators were willing to come.

Li Zhirui seized the opportunity, organizing the mortals into small squads, establishing settlements across Wan Family State, thus acquiring ownership of the land through this method!

Without any force enhancement, this plan was very smoothly achieved.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, only one or two years established, developed rapidly under Li Zhirui’s leadership, without attracting attention from nearby cultivators.

Because he deliberately avoided setting up the Human Dao Law Net, the most prominent and crucial method of the Human Dao Dynasty.

To reach the current development level of the Great Zhou Dynasty in such a short time was already very remarkable.

Yet, simultaneously, it encountered a bottleneck.

What’s most important for the Human Dao Dynasty? It’s about having enough citizens, combining everyone’s strength and luck, so that a mortal can instantly possess great power!

And in recent years, Wan Family State has encountered various disasters and wars, claiming countless mortal lives, almost incorporating all surviving mortals into the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Next, to rapidly increase strength, it must expand outward, taking over populations or clandestinely migrating.
