Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1486: Chapter 1212: Grand Gesture

It is said that Jiang Fengwu left Mount Wanxian with three Spirit Beasts, starting their training outside to seek breakthroughs to the Late-stage Independent Immortal, and also opportunities for them to ascend to Independent Immortal.

Their first choice was the sacred land of the Immortal Tao, Kunlun State!

Because the Spiritual Energy here is the densest, Spiritual Objects are the richest, and the intersecting energies make opportunities easier to find compared to ordinary places—perfect for cultivators like them troubled by bottlenecks.

However, Jiang Fengwu did not choose to head straight to Kunlun State, but instead took the three Spirit Beasts and traveled westward, slowly journeying through the land.

After all, they’ve been stagnating in their current realm for a long time, so there’s no rush; perhaps they’ll encounter some opportunities along the way?

Even if not, the scenery and encounters along the way are quite worthwhile.

On this day, Jiang Fengwu and the group arrived at a place called Guanghua State.

The reason for such an unusual name is because various Light Blossom Spiritual Flowers are abundant here, and due to the unique geographical position, these Spirit Flowers are difficult to grow outside.

Given that this place is always bathed in sunlight, moonlight, and starlight, even when night falls, they remain clearly visible. It’s precisely this abundant light that provides excellent conditions for growth, making it the most important production area of Light Blossom Spiritual Flowers in the Primal Spirit Realm.

Moreover, before the Light Blossom Spiritual Flowers mature, they are incredibly delicate and cannot withstand Mana stimulation, so mortals are the best gardeners.

Because of this, this place suffers from the plight of Devil Beast invasions; every year when the flowers mature, the Devil Beasts launch vast invasions into Guanghua State.

Each invasion not only seizes the Spirit Flowers but also brings disaster and suffering to the local mortals.

Yet, Jiang Fengwu, after a brief investigation, was surprised to find that nearby Immortal Tao influences did nothing!

They don’t actively protect the mortals but only step in after the Devil Beasts invade and mortals offer up large quantities of Spirit Flowers.

“Hmph! Collaboration with the Devil Race, oppressing commoners!”

Even though Jiang Fengwu doesn’t possess an excessively compassionate heart, after knowing these matters, a trace of disgust appeared on her face.

The nearby Immortal Tao influences don’t want to pay any price yet obtain large quantities of precious Spirit Flowers for free, leaving only the mortals to suffer!

Furthermore, Guanghua State is like a cage; surrounded by towering mountains or the territory of Devil Beasts, mortals cannot escape and can only suffer generation after generation.

But the most sorrowful, and what angers Jiang Fengwu the most, is that mortals’ rights to reproduce, give birth, or even their life and death, are not in their own hands!

Many mortals don’t want their descendants to endure such a miserable existence; some plan on not marrying and having children or even committing suicide, but under the cultivators’ control, they simply cannot!

“Fengwu, we are merely traveling here; it’s best not to intervene recklessly, or the mortals’ plight may worsen after we leave.” Feng Peng advised.

They can’t possibly stay here permanently to protect those mortals.

“Indeed, these mortals might be grateful to you now, but in the future, they may resent you.” Qingniao and Dragon Carp also urged.

None of them wanted to stir up this trouble, gaining nothing while offending nearby Immortal Tao influences, and possibly causing mortals to resent them in the future.

Moreover, they have more important tasks to complete and don’t wish to be delayed here for too long.

Jiang Fengwu hesitated a bit, but ultimately chose to help the mortals here.

Not for anything else, but to ensure inner peace!

If she hadn’t known about the plight of mortals in Guanghua State, perhaps she wouldn’t care, but now she knows, and the seed has been planted in her heart, so she cannot stand idly by.

Moreover, Jiang Fengwu had thought of a good idea that might prolong the protection of these mortals.

“The Devil Race primarily gathers in the southern mountains of Guanghua State. I can use the terrain to set up a Great Array merging into the mountains and Spirit Veins. If Devil Beasts want to invade, they either break the Formation or detour.”

Jiang Fengwu shared her idea: “Breaking the Formation would damage the local mountains and Spirit Veins, and the immense Karmic Force from this would surely be something those Devil Beasts wouldn’t dare burden.”

As for detouring, how could nearby Immortal Tao influences let the Devil Race pass? If the Devil Race feigns an attack, they would suffer losses.

‘Is it necessary? To pay so much for a group of strangers.’

Feng Peng wanted to voice this thought but, seeing Jiang Fengwu’s resolute expression, knew she wouldn’t change her mind, so remained silent.

Jiang Fengwu didn’t reveal herself before the mortals, only traversing the mountains with three Spirit Beasts, discerning the Spirit Vein’s patterns, and deducing a suitable Great Array for this place.

This process was extremely slow, needing to calculate too many factors, and the Formation spanned over a thousand miles—a scale she’d never set up before, presenting a tremendous challenge.

Fully devoted to this task, she completely forgot the passage of time. When Jiang Fengwu completed this vast Formation, decades had passed.

During this time, they witnessed mortals being oppressed and harmed by Devil Beasts over and over again; saw the numb mortals, bringing large quantities of Spirit Flowers to the mountain gates of Immortal Tao influences, pleading with mournful tones, yet their gazes remained dead and silent, like soulless puppets.
