Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1513: Chapter 1225: Astonished (Part 2)

Coincidentally, the Li family has been developing quite well these years, with the number of family members continually increasing. Now, with this large piece of territory, it’s just the right time to assign these family members to come and develop it.

At the same time, in the future, the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area will become a place where countless loose cultivators and cultivators will want to go.

Because this place is sufficiently safe and is very close to the open sea, it is beneficial for them to venture out to gain spiritual objects.

In the future, there will definitely be a large number of cultivators arriving in the outer sea areas, so the family is undertaking major construction at this location, with various Immortal Cities and marketplaces rising from the ground, waiting for the cultivators to move in.

But even faster than those cultivators are the various commercial firms and chambers of commerce!

Merchants have the sharpest eyes and were the first to realize that the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area would become extremely bustling in the future, so as soon as the Immortal Cities and marketplaces were constructed, they rushed in.

Li Guangjie did not refuse; he wanted the family to absorb all these profits, not sharing with other forces.

But he also knew in his heart that this was impossible.

Because the Li family could not supply that many spiritual objects, and once the supply of spiritual objects was insufficient, it was very likely a large number of cultivators would leave.

However, he had a small idea to call all the traveling cultivators together and openly auction off the shops in each Immortal City and marketplace in front of all the chambers of commerce and commercial firms.

The Li family’s auction method was very simple, using Immortal Cities and marketplaces as units, where all the shops were only rented, not sold.

“Clan Leader Li can come up with such a method, that’s quite impressive!” This statement had a bit of a sarcastic tone.

However, Li Guangjie remained unconcerned, continuing to preside over the major events and began the bidding.

Among them, the two Immortal Cities were the most popular because it didn’t take much imagination to know that the development of these two Immortal Cities in the future would definitely be the best, and there would be the most cultivators.

In the end, Bibo Chamber of Commerce and Changhong Commerce, after paying a hefty price, took them down.

Just from this auction, the Li family made a significant profit.

However, a large portion of the Spirit Stones were returned to various chambers of commerce and commercial firms through the purchase of various spiritual objects.

Compared to the flourishing development of the Li family, the situation of the Cave Abyss Sect seemed even more miserable and pitiful, but neither of the two factions had the mind or the leisure to compare.

And after handling all these tedious matters, Li Guangjie finally returned to Mount Wanxian.

As for the middle part of the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area, it was still occupied by other forces. The Li family did not deal with it; after all, they had not committed any wrongdoing, and without reason, they couldn’t just drive them out, could they? That would have a very bad impact on the family’s reputation.

During this period, Li Zhirui did not make an appearance, but his Realm of Human Immortality cultivation, after this battle, could no longer be concealed.

Especially the news of him defeating a perfect Human Immortal stage Water Devil with an early-stage Human Immortal cultivation kept spreading, becoming more and more exaggerated, eventually sounding like a bizarre story from a book.

After the gambling duel, he went to the starry sky for a while and spent some time with Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, where, apart from daily exchanges, the father and sons mainly discussed the Tao.

In terms of realm, Li Zhirui listened more, but he also had some valuable insights for his siblings to learn.

When he returned to Mount Wanxian, he once again entered the cave mansion for closed-door cultivation, not because he was breaking through to the middle stage of Human Immortal. Closed-door cultivation had long become his routine.

——

Spring passed, autumn came, and time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred years had passed.

In these years, the Li family developed very quickly, with each clan member’s strength seeing significant improvement. The only bit of regret was that no new Individual Immortal was born.

However, it was not far off. Several Great Vehicle Realm family members had been in closed-door cultivation recently, attempting to breach into the Individual Immortal Realm. Who knows when one of them might successfully break through and add another Individual Immortal to the family.

And the development of the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area was just as the Li family had anticipated, extremely lively, with a large number of cultivators flocking in from all over.

Their purpose was to enter the sea area for experience, and during this experience, there was also a great possibility of obtaining some spiritual objects, so how could those cultivators not be enthusiastic?

The arrival of a large number of cultivators further sustained the family, earning the family a large amount of Spirit Stones and spiritual objects.

Such outstanding achievements naturally attracted the envy of many forces, especially those that originally occupied the outer sea areas, who were even more envious.

However, the Bai Family and other forces only dared to clamor about it verbally, not daring to take action because they were no match for the Li family at all. If a fight really broke out, the ones at a loss would still be them.

…

“Huh?”

“Why has such a massive Thunder Tribulation appeared in the Changli Mountain Range? Could it be that a devil beast is hiding secretly, intending to break through to the Individual Immortal Realm this time?”

In the Immortal City at the foot of the mountain range, some members of the Li family were surprised to see this scene and immediately sounded the Hundred-Miles Resonance Bell to inform other family members that something had happened.

Due to limitations in their strength, they dared not approach closely to investigate and could only wait for the family to send someone over.

Not long after, Li Yunran hurried to the scene.

“Let’s go, follow me to take a look. If it’s truly a devil beast transcending tribulation, we must find a way to disrupt it. We absolutely cannot let the devil beast succeed!”

Upon arrival, he discovered that the situation was even more serious than the report had indicated.

Because judging from the power of the Thunder Tribulation, it was not an Individual Immortal realm Thunder Tribulation but a Human Immortal realm Thunder Tribulation!

Therefore, Li Yunran was extremely startled. Since when did the Changli Mountain Range have Individual Immortal devil beasts? The Li family had routinely cleared out and driven out any strong devil beasts from the mountain range every few years.

The sudden appearance of an Individual Immortal realm devil beast implies that previous family clearing actions had not been very effective.

Or perhaps, previous actions were more perfunctory? The family members responsible for this had not been diligent?

But regardless of which, it would have to wait until the matter was concluded before being thoroughly investigated.

Li Yunran kept this in mind and then led a group of clan members straight to the site of the Tribulation Transcendence.

“Huh? Spirit Ancestor Qingmu, why are you here?”

Upon getting closer, he saw an elder, Mu, who had not appeared for many years.

“I have been in the Changli Mountain Range for many years but just do not like to show myself, so not many people know.” Mu glanced at him and said, “You brought so many clan members here, are you here to help Shenling as protector? Then act quickly, do not delay, the Thunder Tribulation is about to start.”

“What? Spirit Ancestor Shenling is here too? And this time it’s him who is undergoing Tribulation?”

“Yes, I’ll explain to you later, quickly make arrangements!”

“Yes!” Li Yunran quickly set aside various ideas and started arranging the protection matters.

Rumble——

Just after setting up, the first Tribulation Thunder struck down but was blocked by a transparent spatial screen, causing no harm to Shen.

“Hmm? When did Spirit Ancestor Shen learn the laws of space?”

Mu cryptically replied without revealing much, “Keep watching, and you’ll find out.”

Shen’s plan to open up the Immortal Tao was a top-secret piece of information that was unknown to Li Yunran even though he was a senior member of the family, so it had never been revealed to him.

No matter what, many such secrets would have to be kept under wraps until Shen successfully completed the tribulation and confirmed his status as a Human Immortal.

Li Yunran felt relieved as he saw one Thunder Tribulation after another strike down without causing any harm to Shen, who even transcended the Thunder Tribulation effortlessly.

However, the speed was so astonishingly fast that it was hard to believe.

“Spirit Ancestor, is this speed for real? Won’t there be any problems?” Li Yunran asked.

“Just keep watching, and you’ll know what I mean,” Mu replied, keeping the surprise, “I’ll tell you once we’re done.”

After the Heart Demon Tribulation also passed, Shen truly became a Human Immortal.

However, his Realm of Human Immortality was different, and it was something that required thorough consolidation before returning.

“Come, let’s go see. If it’s really a devil beast transcending tribulation, we must ensure not to let it succeed!” Li Yunran said as he hurriedly arrived on the scene.

Once he approached, he immediately noticed a massive Thunder Tribulation showers in the middle of the mountain range.

This scene surprised some members of the Li family in the Immortal City at the foot of the mountain range, and they immediately rang the Hundred-Miles Resonance Bell to notify other family members of the incident.

They dared not approach carefully due to their strength and had to wait for the family to send people to investigate further.

Shortly after, Li Yunran rushed to the scene in a flurry.

“Let’s go, come with me and take a look; if it’s truly a Devil Beast transcending tribulation, we must find a way to disrupt it. We absolutely cannot let the Devil Beast succeed!”

Once he arrived, he immediately discovered a massive Thunder Tribulation and was puzzled, wondering if any devil beast had secretly hidden away intending to attempt the Individual Immortal Realm breakthrough at this time.

Despite not daring to go in for a closer investigation due to their lack of strength, they had to wait for the family to send someone over.

Before long, Li Yunran hurriedly arrived at the scene.

“Hmm? Spirit Ancestor Qingmu, why are you here?”

As soon as he got closer, he saw the Spirit Ancestor Qingmu and exclaimed, “Ah, is Ginseng Spirit Ancestor here too? And planning to break through to the Individual Immortal Realm this time?”

Mu glanced at him, saying, “No one knows because I don’t show myself very often. Now hurry and make arrangements! The Thunder Tribulation is about to start.”

“What? Is Ginseng Spirit Ancestor here too? And he also plans to break through? We must act swiftly!”

“Yes!” Li Yunran quickly seized control of his thoughts and hurriedly began to organize the protector.

He saw Thunder Tribulations strike one after another, but they caused no harm to Shen, who passed through the Thunder Tribulation quite easily.

However, in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed by.

In these years, the Li family had developed rapidly, with each family member’s strength having improved significantly. The only slight regret was the lack of new Individual Immortals being born.

However, that might happen soon. Recently, several Great Vehicle Realm family members have been in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Individual Immortal Realm. Perhaps they would succeed at any time and add a new Individual Immortal to the family.

And the development of the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area was just as predicted by the Li family: extremely lively, with crowds of cultivators flocking in from various places.

The motive was to enter the sea area for training, and there was also a high likelihood of obtaining some spiritual objects in the process. How could those cultivators not be enthusiastic?

And the influx of cultivators further benefited the family, earning them a large number of Spirit Stones and spiritual objects.

Such excellent results naturally aroused the envy of many powers, especially those that originally occupied the outer sea areas and were even more jealous.

However, the Bai Family and other forces only dared to grumble out loud, not daring to take action, because they were no match for the Li family at all, and if a conflict broke out, they would still be the ones to suffer.

…

“Huh?”

“How come such a large-scale Thunder Tribulation has appeared in the middle of the Changli Mountain Range? Could it be that a Devil Beast is hiding and intending to break through to the Individual Immortal Realm this time?”

Some members of the Li Family at the Immortal City at the foot of the mountain range were very surprised to see this scene and immediately rang the Hundred-Miles Resonance Bell to notify other family members of the situation.

However, due to their limited strength, they dared not approach closely to investigate and could only wait for the family to send someone.

It wasn’t long before Li Yunran hurried to the scene.

“Let’s go, come with me to take a look, if it truly is a Devil Beast transcending tribulation, we must find a way to disrupt it. We absolutely cannot let the Devil Beast succeed!”

When he arrived, he discovered that it was actually a Human Immortal realm Thunder Tribulation rather than an Individual Immortal realm Thunder Tribulation, which surprised him greatly.

He wondered when the Changli Mountain Range ever saw an Individual Immortal realm beast, and instead, now all of a sudden, there was an Individual Immortal realm beast. Didn’t this imply previous family cleaning operations were not very effective?

Regardless of what the truth was, it needed to be thoroughly investigated after this affair was over.

“Huh? You’re here, Spirit Ancestor Qingmu?”

But just as he approached, he spotted the Spirit Ancestor Qingmu.

“I’ve been here all along,” replied Mu, giving him a glance. “I just don’t make appearances often, so not many people know about it.”

“You brought so many family members here, are you planning to help Shenling during the tribulation? Then you better get moving quickly, don’t delay, the Thunder Tribulation is about to begin,” Mu said.

“Ah? Is Ginseng Spirit Ancestor here too? And planning to break through to the Individual Immortal Realm? We have to make arrangements immediately!”

“Yes, quickly get organized!”

Li Yunran quickly dismissed his thoughts and started arranging the protection duty inside the cave mansion as usual, not aiming to break through to the Middle Stage of Human Immortal.

As a massive Tribulation Thunder descended, it was blocked by a transparent spatial barrier, causing no harm to Shenling.

“Hmm? You see, Spirit Ancestor Shenling, is this speed for real? Won’t there be any problems?” Li Yunran asked.

Mu gave him a glance and said, “You’ll find out as you watch.”

The intention behind Shen’s Immortal Tao was a tightly held secret, even from the high ranks of the Li family to which Li Yunran belonged, so this confidential information wasn’t shared with him, despite his senior position in the family.

Thunder Tribulations rained down, but caused no harm to Shen

He transcended the Thunder Tribulation with remarkable ease.

After passing the Heart Demon Tribulation, Shen became a true Human Immortal.

However, his Realm of Human Immortality is different from others; this has to be thoroughly investigated once this matter is over.

“Spirit Ancestor, is such speed real? Will there be any problems?” Li Yunran asked.

“Relax, just watch, you’ll see.”

Li Yunran had no choice but to obediently lead the other family members away.
