Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1411: Chapter 1174: Conspiracy_2

”Against the Human Dao Dynasty?”

Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow, seemingly thinking of something, and asked, ”Is the threat from the Dazheng Dynasty in the West Continent so great to you? To the extent that you have to come to the East Continent to experiment?”

”Dazheng Dynasty...”

Chang Hong’s face showed indescribable misery, with a strong sense of fear, and he said, ”That was many years ago, they have long since ascended to an empire, shaking the world. Two Heavenly Immortals have died at the hands of the Human Emperor, and it’s said that the current prime minister also has the strength to kill a Heavenly Immortal.”

Li Zhirui’s pupils shrank sharply; how many years has it been since the establishment of the Dazheng Dynasty, and they have already amassed such terrifying power!

To kill Heavenly Immortals, not just one, but now the prime minister also possesses such power.

The power of Human Dao is indeed extraordinary!

On a side note, it also reveals how difficult and harsh life is for the mortals living in the West Continent. Probably, as soon as they joined the Dazheng Dynasty, they developed a strong centripetal force to provide the empire with their own luck and strength.

From the perspective of mortals, the emergence of Human Dao methods greatly improved their living environment!

Not to mention, the Demonic Tao and Devil Race completely regard mortals as expendables, food, and slaughter them at will. Even the Immortal Tao, comprising the majority of cultivation families, have an unfriendly attitude towards mortals. Possibly, if they are even slightly displeased, they might punish or directly kill a mortal.NovelFire

Cultivation families like the Li family, which treat mortals well and do not oppress them, are not common.

However, with the rise of the Human Dao Dynasty, especially as it flourishes across the East Continent, Immortal Dao practitioners no longer dare to treat mortals as they did before, fearing they might align with the Human Dao Dynasty.

So for mortals, this is a great thing.

A myriad of thoughts passed in a flash.

”Do you know the contents of the method?” Li Zhirui asked casually, without much hope.

”Not very clear on the specifics, just happened to overhear some elders mention once that the power of the Human Dao Law Net and Dragon energy comes from the vast masses of the lower-level populace, implying they should be the starting point, and there seems to be another method specifically targeting the nobility,” Chang Hong said, desperately digging through his memory, uttering these words intermittently.

Li Zhirui was slightly moved; it seemed the Demonic Tao had indeed found a useful way, and he was quite interested in obtaining it for precautionary measures, so in case the family ever faced an attack from the Human Dao Dynasty, they would have a way to counteract it.

Unfortunately, the person in front of him was merely a pawn who crossed the river first and didn’t know the detailed content.

He shook his head helplessly, then left first.

It’s not that Li Zhirui didn’t want to kill him, but as Chang Hong said, this wasn’t a battle that could be resolved momentarily; some price would have to be paid, and it wasn’t at all necessary. Besides, he wasn’t someone who hated evil like an enemy, ready to kill every demon cultivator he encountered.

And after Chang Hong fled back to the hiding place of the demon cultivators in disgrace, once again, other demon cultivators were shocked, curious about what kind of being Li Zhirui was, that his strength was so formidable, continuously defeating three powerful fellow sect members.

Continuing his journey of trials, Li Zhirui no longer admired the scenery along the way, but instead contemplated what method the Demonic Tao planned to use to restrain the Dazheng Dynasty.

”If they are planning to target those at the bottom, the best methods would be terrifying disasters like plagues, wars, and natural disasters, which they can hardly resist.”

It was evident that the Demonic Tao had indeed spent significant efforts studying the Human Dao, recognizing that the reason the Human Dao Dynasty was powerful was that it gathered the strength of all its citizens.

As for the secret techniques targeting nobles protected by Dragon energy and luck, Li Zhirui recalled the witchcraft that could stir waves and create seas of blood every time it appeared in previous life’s legends!

More precisely, it should be the Nightmare Victory Skills!

...

Li Zhirui suppressed the multitude of thoughts and no longer considered the distant Dazheng Dynasty. Since there was no need to move against the Immortal Tao, he naturally wouldn’t make unnecessary moves and continued his own trials with peace of mind.

Perhaps because of Yan Chilian and Chang Hong’s defeat, those demon cultivators became fearful of him, resulting in a long stretch where he did not encounter any more demon cultivators, making it somewhat dull.

Having cultivated to Li Zhirui’s realm, he had already lost a sense of time. Perhaps it was a month, or maybe a year, when he arrived at a place called Violet Stone Prefecture, named so for the massive purple stones scattered everywhere.

The geographical location is advantageous, with abundant spiritual resources to the west, the north being the territory of major Immortal Tao sects, the south being the domain occupied by the Devil Race, and the east being close to the East Sea, making it accessible from all sides, with geographical location very advantageous.

Added to this, the place was rich in spiritual energy, resulting in a flourishing Immortal Tao, attracting a large number of cultivators to gather here.

After traveling for a while, Li Zhirui decided to stay here for a rest and, at the same time, experience the local customs and practices.

”Senior, you must be from out of town?”

Li Zhirui suppressed his cultivation to the Great Vehicle Realm, and as soon as he entered the city, a cultivator approached to strike up a conversation.

”Yes, I’ve heard of the flourishing Immortal Tao here, so I traveled a long way here. You must be a local, so why not give me a detailed introduction.”

Being new to the place, having a local introduce it would help him understand the area faster, and he was generous, directly giving a bottle of mid-grade seventh-rank Precious Pill.

This was deliberately flawed by Li Zhirui during the alchemy process. Otherwise, with his current ability, pills below the eighth rank wouldn’t have any mid-grade or low-grade types, which he considered to be trash, as defective pills.

The person explored it with Divine Sense, and instantly found ecstatic happiness on his face, becoming more eager and respectful, saying, ”Senior should know that whether it’s for trials, treasure hunting, or hunting demons and devils, Violet Stone Prefecture is very suitable, let me tell you more.”

”It’s well known that the Ancient Spirit State in the west was a great Immortal Tao holy land tens of thousands of years ago, gathering countless Immortal Tao forces, but eventually, a great war suddenly broke out, causing numerous casualties, and burying a large number of forces, even today, cave mansions can still be unearthed from there.”

”Just over a hundred years ago, a loose cultivator obtained a profound inheritance from it, progressing like a hot knife through butter, and is now an Individual Immortal senior!”

While saying this, he couldn’t suppress a hint of envy and yearning from appearing on his face.

This kind of story is indeed very inspiring for loose cultivators, making them feel very hopeful, thinking that maybe the next lucky one will be them.

”However, the Ancient Spirit State is also very strange, with no Immortal Tao forces establishing roots there till today. It’s said that those forces daring to stay inside for long eventually disappear without any reason.”

Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow; it did indeed sound strange. Being able to unearth so many treasures, he didn’t believe no forces would be tempted.

Especially with his understanding of those major forces, their greed means they would certainly claim it as their own.

But since they did not do so, it indicates that even they cannot resolve the threats posed by the Ancient Spirit State, leaving it open.

”The southern Three Spirit State, however, is the domain of the Devil Race, though some Immortal Tao forces, and even Demonic Tao sects, are present, making the situation very complex. It’s the most dangerous area and is the best training ground for cultivators encountering bottlenecks!”

The cultivator paused and said, ”The Three Spirit State is a truly perilous place, very dangerous, often with cultivators going there for training and then falling without any clear reasons.”

”So if the senior plans to go, you must prepare thoroughly and not act impulsively or recklessly.”

Li Zhirui nodded, thanked him for his kindness, and felt increasingly eager to try. If what the person said was true, he had confidence in breaking through the bottleneck.

As for the major Immortal Tao sects in the north and the areas near the sea in the east, there’s no need to elaborate; they’re usual places often seen.

...

”Senior, are you planning to rest for a few days or considering a long-term stay? I can recommend a suitable inn or lease a cave mansion based on your needs.”

”Find me a cave mansion with abundant spiritual energy to stay for a while.”

”Sure! Senior, please follow me.”
