Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1476: Chapter 1207: Guidance

At the same time, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, as their main gods and the leaders of the Divine Enthronement ceremony, received their own set of rewards from the Heavenly Dao.

Originally lingering at the edge of the late-stage Human Immortal, just one step away, their cultivation successfully broke through, becoming late-stage Human Immortals.

At the same time, the Merit Golden Light in their Sea of Consciousness also expanded slightly.

Their actions, of course, could not be hidden from the other divine beings of the Heavenly Court. Those lesser gods were full of envy. Although the Divine Positions of the Sun Hour Gods and Moon Time God were not very high, both in terms of foundation and future development, they were far superior to what they currently had.

”Who would have thought those two Star Lords would be so generous to their subordinate gods, had I known...”

”Watch your words!” His companion beside him quickly pulled him aside to prevent any trouble.

The lesser gods were filled with envy, while the higher-ranking divine beings were quite disdainful, not valuing such Divine Positions at all. They even thought Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo were deliberately seeking fame and benefit, trying to expand their power.

However, Emperor Ziwei understood clearly, knowing they mostly wanted enough strength to safeguard themselves, murmuring softly, ”It’s just that often, things don’t develop as one wishes...”

The flowers bloom with two branches, each with its own story.

Yet, Li Mingyao, upon returning to Mount Wanxian, revealed the news he had learned.

”It was still obtained by the Sea Clan.”

Li Zhirui was not very surprised. To be safe, when conquering the Outer World, the Sea Clan certainly had a few backup plans to ensure nothing went wrong.

Xiaoqing, however, seemed quite delighted, laughing, ”In this case, doesn’t it mean that the Cave Abyss Sect ended up with nothing and even lost considerable territory? Serves them right!”

The conflict between the Cave Abyss Sect and their family had never been resolved, and Xiaoqing always kept it in mind, so every time they suffered a loss, he would feel happy.

As for the result of the struggle between the Cave Abyss Sect and the Sea Clan, they did not know before, but the news of the Great Zhou Dynasty seizing a large territory and losing many disciples had long since spread.

Many timid Loose Cultivators, fearing that the Great Zhou Dynasty would continue its advance, simply left the Cave Abyss State and moved to settle in the Shanhai State.

Even a few days ago, several small families and sects of Loose Cultivators came to seek refuge, coming to the front of Mount Wanxian to express their loyalty.

The Li family only arranged for an Elder to meet them briefly and then sent them away. After all, the family couldn’t just believe what they said, right?

Besides, the Li family had long set the rule that Loose Cultivators wanting to establish a family or sect in Shanhai State had to make contributions, otherwise, no Spirit Vein or territory would be allocated.

”The Cave Abyss Sect suffered a significant loss this time, will they retaliate?” Li Yunran had an eagerness for chaos.

”In this situation, shouldn’t they lay low, lick their wounds, recuperate and recover as soon as possible? Do they really want to fight the Great Zhou Dynasty?” Da Qing shook his head, believing they wouldn’t be so foolish.

”Not everyone is as cautious as you. Since the Cave Abyss Sect dared to gamble on the matter in the Outer World, isn’t there a possibility they might do the same this time?”

Li Zhirui just quietly listened to the debate. His own opinions were not that important since the family had limited intelligence on the high-level members of the Cave Abyss Sect, making it difficult to guess their intentions.

”Just keep an eye on it; the war between Heavenly Immortal Forces is not something the family can interfere with now!”

The sense of awe did not diminish with the advancement of cultivation; instead, it grew stronger.

Because only upon reaching a certain height do you learn some truths, Li Zhirui maintained a respectful yet distant attitude toward these two Heavenly Immortal Forces, preferring not to engage if possible.

It wasn’t out of cowardice, but the gap in power between the two sides was simply too vast, to the point of being invisible.

Were it not for the Cave Abyss Sect trying to use the family as cannon fodder, he wouldn’t have ’collaborated’ with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

”Don’t focus too much on them; our attention should still be directed towards ourselves or the family!” Li Zhirui said, seeing them about to begin another debate, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

With that, he didn’t wait for anyone to speak and swiftly left.

The clansmen sharing the same stance as Da Qing felt ashamed, somewhat guilty, but Xiaoqing was indifferent, not minding at all.

He just couldn’t stand seeing the Cave Abyss Sect doing well!

Besides, after transitioning to the Divine Path, the new method of cultivation significantly lowered the requirements for temperament. He was no longer restraining himself as before.

It’s strange, clearly, the Immortal Tao emphasizes freedom and transcendence, yet it requires self-restraint of temperament and morality, while the Divine Path, which values rules and strict regulations, seems more unconstrained.

However, with a longer-term perspective, one can understand why the two seem contrary to their essence.

The Immortal Tao pursues higher levels, aiming for great freedom and transcendence; the Divine Path, though appearing to be free and unrestrained, actually stays within the rules!

...

Not only the Li family but many Immortal Dao influences in the surrounding area were waiting for the Cave Abyss Sect to retaliate and start another war with the Great Zhou Dynasty, eagerly awaiting a spectacle.

However, the outcome left everyone disappointed, as the Cave Abyss Sect chose to swallow their pride and pretend nothing happened!

One must know, doing so would diminish the authority and prestige of the Cave Abyss Sect. Perhaps it isn’t apparent now, but like a seed, one never knows when it will sprout.
