Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1473: Chapter 1205: Crushing Defeat (Part 2)

The Outer World holds an unparalleled allure and temptation for any being aware of its preciousness, as it is the true ladder to the heavens!

”But if this operation fails, not only will we lose some disciples, but there is also a high possibility of losing territory, isn’t that too much of a gamble?” A cautious elder expressed a different opinion.

”Cultivation is inherently a path against the heavens. If you don’t fight or strive, are you waiting for opportunities to fall into your lap?”

The previously mentioned elder, Mo Changhuai, exclaimed excitedly, ”Once successful, the sect will become the foremost power in the Immortal Tao, and everyone will gain immensely. At that time, it’s not impossible for you and me to break through to the Earth Immortal!”

”Hmph! In the end, it’s for your own selfish desires, completely disregarding the lives of other disciples.”

”You’d better not spout nonsense here!”

”Enough!”

The Sect Leader impatiently shouted coldly, ”Since we’re at an impasse, then let’s vote by raising hands.”

”Those in favor of vying for the Outer World, raise your hands.”

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

In an instant, more than half of the elders raised their hands in agreement.

Just as Mo Changhuai said, without fighting or striving, how can one defy fate and change destiny?

In the Realm of Human Immortality, it seems they have transcended the mundane, gained ’longevity,’ but they know in their hearts it is merely an illusion. When the great tribulation comes, they still must face it with their lives!

As for the dangers within? Since they’ve made the decision, they are naturally willing to bear the consequences and costs.

...

After returning to Mount Wanxian, Li Zhirui no longer immersed himself in seclusion cultivation as before. From time to time, he would come out to gather information.

Time flew by swiftly as he awaited, and finally, the long-awaited news arrived at the Li family.

The Great Zhou Dynasty launched an invasion, and the Cave Abyss Sect became inadequate in strength, suffering continuous defeats and quickly losing much territory.

Initially, it was merely a probing attack, but seeing such a situation, the Great Zhou immediately mobilized an army of millions, sweeping in like a tidal flood.

In just over a month, the Cave Abyss Sect retreated repeatedly, ceding hundreds of miles of land.

At the same time, the Great Zhou’s navy took action, capturing the half-sea islands initially belonging to the East Sea Dynasty and later taken by the Cave Abyss Sect.

Fights broke out in two places, yet the Cave Abyss Sect, which occupied the geographical advantage, had no advantage at all, truly surprising everyone!

Certainly, this wouldn’t make other forces think they were weak and easy to bully.

Because the two sides are not on the same level at all, the disparity in strength is vast. If any small force dared to offend the Cave Abyss Sect, it wouldn’t last a day without being wiped out!

This is a war belonging only to the Heavenly Immortal forces.

”It seems the Cave Abyss Sect went to seize that Outer World,” Li Zhirui murmured to himself but had no other thoughts.

Being able to get three Spirit Seeds of Human Immortal Rank through this news was already an unexpected gain, wanting more would be kind of greedy!

And greed rarely ends well.

The Li family should just be an honest observer and wait for the outcome, without meddling unnecessarily.

Li Zhirui no longer focused closely on the subsequent developments and returned to his secluded cultivation.

Under his influence, the family also shifted their attention back to themselves.

...

At a concealed location in the deep sea.

In a place where hardly any beings usually set foot, there appeared a large number of cultivators and Sea Clan, all with profound cultivation, including several Heavenly Immortals!

”To think you would ally with the human race to break away from the Sea Clan, you’re bringing a wolf into the house!” The Dragon Tribe’s Heavenly Immortal looked at the scene before it, feeling more sorrow than anger.

It knew that Thunder Serpent, Xuanyou Giant Python, Swallowing Sea Whale, and other races were long dissatisfied with the distribution of resources within the Sea Clan and had plans to break away from the alliance.

But never imagined that for this, they would privately contact the Cave Abyss Sect and even offer the Outer World as a gift!

Don’t they know that with this Outer World, the Sea Clan will usher in a flourishing development period? It is a great thing beneficial to all Sea Clan!

Moreover, to maintain the Sea Clan alliance, the Dragon Tribe was already planning to take a step back, just waiting to conquer the Outer World to announce it, so as to ease their discontent.

In the end, it was still one step too late!

”Hmph! Nice words! When does your Dragon Tribe not occupy the vast majority of resources, leaving us only a tenth of the Spiritual Objects?”

”Every time a beast tide is launched, it’s our races fighting desperately. What’s the Dragon Tribe doing? How many familiars did the Dragon Tribe send to battle?”

”Saying one thing, doing another, you were already guarding against us! Even plotting to use this operation to kill us, so the Sea Clan would still be under your Dragon Tribe’s control, and no race would dare to resist!”

The grievance in the hearts of Thunder Serpent and other races was not accumulated in a day or two, and had it not erupted over the years, it was mainly because the power disparity between the two sides was too great.

Even now, they just barely closed some of the gap, the Dragon Tribe still has far superior strength.

As for the last words, it was during the appearance of Cave Abyss Sect cultivators, several Dragon Tribe and Turtle Clan Heavenly Immortals also appeared nearby.

It was evident the Dragon Tribe had long intended to eradicate them.

Because once these Heavenly Immortals were dealt with, their respective races could no longer stir up any waves, much less talk about breaking away from the Sea Clan.

”Admit your wrongs now, and we’ll let it go, pretending this never happened!” That Dragon Tribe Heavenly Immortal made a last effort, truly unwilling to see internal problems in the Sea Clan.

But this effort was ultimately in vain.

The great war was about to break out!

However, only the few Heavenly Immortals took action, while other beings simply prepared themselves without taking action.

They were very restrained, not using Divine Powers to fight but deciding the victory through Derivation Method, displaying their comprehension of the Great Tao to defeat the opponent!

The Derivation Method battle seemed plain and without risk, but in reality, it was a hundred times more dangerous than fighting.

Once dragged into the other’s Great Tao without being able to see through it and escape, one’s own Great Tao would become ’polluted,’ also affecting the comprehension of the Great Tao.

To remove the ’pollution,’ the simplest way was to completely abandon that part of the Great Tao. Otherwise, one could only resolve it forcefully.

The former involves abandoning years of accumulation and starting over; the latter doesn’t know how much time it will take, and might not even succeed in the end.

Ah!

A scream erupted from the Thunder Snake Immortal’s mouth, filled with terror and disbelief as it shouted, ”Impossible! How could your realm be so much higher than mine!”

”Alas!”

The Dragon Tribe Heavenly Immortal sighed regretfully, saying, ”Why does the Dragon Tribe not show itself to the world? Don’t you know the reason? Or have you forgotten the ancestral teachings?”

The Thunder Snake Immortal was speechless, standing there soullessly.

Its Great Tao had been ’polluted!’ If the issue wasn’t resolved, it would never be able to progress for the rest of its life.

Next, one by one, the defeated were lifeless, like bodies without souls.

And among these beings, the majority hailed from the Thunder Serpent and other races, with only two Dragon Tribe members defeated.

There was also a unique situation, a draw in the duel with the Heavenly Immortal of the Cave Abyss Sect, neither side could do anything to the other, so they both withdrew their Great Tao comprehensions.

Though not polluted, they were still affected, their auras significantly reduced.

Having suffered such a defeat, how could the Heavenly Immortal from the Cave Abyss Sect dare to linger? Immediately, it fled with several disciples.

The Dragon Tribe Heavenly Immortals did not stop them, as their primary goal now was to resolve the internal crisis of the Sea Clan.

”Rest assured, we won’t kill you, but you will guard the Sea Eye, to personally experience what the Dragon Tribe endures!”

As the words fell, several Dragon Tribe Heavenly Immortals took action, sealing their dantians and taking them away.

After dealing with these matters, they began the initial purpose of gathering many races this time, to conquer the Outer World!
