Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1516: Chapter 1227: Expansion

“Thank you all, fellow Daoists, for attending. The Daoist conference has now concluded. Please follow me.” Li Yunliang acted as a host, giving due respect to those present.

“It seems everyone is quite satisfied with this lecture. Soon, your Earth Immortal Dao will spread widely, and you’ll inevitably receive a boost in luck. However, don’t be too eager to advance your realm.” Li Zhirui, who had not shown himself before, reminded from the back.

“Don’t worry, Brother Jiu. In the upcoming period, I plan to focus on cultivating several clansmen, guiding them onto the path of the Earth Immortal Dao.” Clearly, Shen also understood the importance of pacing and knew there was no need to rush after a recent breakthrough.

“How many Devil Spirits have you cultivated?”

When Li Zhirui last visited, he hadn’t seen the Devil Spirits, so he didn’t know the exact number.

“Not many, just a dozen or so, mostly transformed from Lingzhi and Spirit Ginseng.”

Aside from propagating the Earth Immortal Dao over the years, Shen spent his spare time lecturing a large number of Spiritual Objects. Even when he couldn’t spare the time, he would ask Mu to help with lectures, hoping to awaken the Spiritual Intelligence of these beings through this method.

As for the results? They’re fairly decent. Though there are only a dozen Devil Spirits, considering the difficulty of awakening Spiritual Intelligence in Spiritual Objects, this ratio isn’t low.

“Do you plan to develop the Demon Spirit Clan within the Changli Mountain Range? Haven’t you thought of finding a better place?” Li Zhirui asked seriously.

In his opinion, apart from its large size, the Changli Mountain Range had no other advantages.

And the territories controlled by the family now had many places better than this.

“The Changli Mountain Range is quite good, it’s a little distant from the family, but not too far, and can develop northward in the future.” Shen had no plans to move, especially since his Cave Heaven had already taken root, making it inconvenient to relocate.

“As for the issue of Spiritual Energy, as more and more Blessed Lands and Cave Heavens emerge, the Spiritual Energy will surely become more abundant; there’s no need to worry about this.”

In fact, Shen intentionally wanted to separate the Demon Spirit Clan from the Li family.

Because no matter what, in the eyes of the world, the Demon Spirit Clan is considered part of the Devil Race, even if many Devil Spirits refuse to accept this, and humans and devils are mortal enemies, making close interactions inconvenient.

Unless the Demon Spirit Clan submits to the Li family, just like the Spirit Beast groups currently being cultivated by the Li family.

But Shen, for some reason, didn’t have such intentions.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui nodded and said, “Since you have already decided, I won’t say more. If you need anything or encounter any difficulties, feel free to seek help from the family and me.”

“Alright, thank you, Brother Jiu, and the family for the support. I won’t stand on ceremony when the time comes.”

Li Zhirui returned to Mount Wanxian and continued his secluded cultivation.

Although more and more clansmen were catching up, he didn’t feel any urgency, maintaining his own pace and rhythm, calmly absorbing and exhaling Spiritual Energy, increasing his Mana, and enhancing his realm.

He had plenty of time, and since the external environment hadn’t deteriorated, he naturally didn’t have to rush; laying a solid foundation was more important.

However, after years of diligent cultivation, Li Zhirui’s Mana was also nearing the limit of the Early-stage Human Immortal, and his realm was steadily advancing.

At this rate, within one or two hundred years, he could break through to the Middle Stage of Human Immortal.

At such a speed, it could be considered relatively quick, but this was also because Li Zhirui was fortunate, not encountering bottlenecks, and having ample resources, allowing for such rapid progress.

Besides Li Zhirui, Da Qing, Xiaoqing, Jiang Fengwu, and others’ cultivation was also steadily improving.

Based on the current situation, everyone’s achievements were quite impressive.

As for who would eventually fall behind or remain stagnant, it was still unknown; it could be Li Zhirui, or perhaps Xiaoqing.

…

However, many forces that acquired the Earth Immortal Dao cultivation technique did not immediately arrange for disciples to cultivate it but rather asked a few ancestors to emerge and deduce the method’s reliability and safety.

“The creator of this path showed unconventional creativity and ingenuity.”

After some research, an Earth Immortal lamented, “With the emergence of the Earth Immortal Dao, it will inevitably cause a wave of interest in the Immortal Tao, especially among those small factions.”

“Why does the ancestor say this?” Many cultivators present were puzzled.

“Haven’t you noticed? The Blessed Lands and Cave Heavens created are able to be inherited for generations, not shattering or being destroyed upon the fall and death of the cultivators who created them.”

That Earth Immortal continued, “Furthermore, by inheriting these Blessed Lands and Cave Heavens, one can attain the same cultivation level, even if it’s just within the Blessed Lands and Cave Heavens, it is still remarkable.”

“With such tremendous advantages, those small factions will surely arrange for some cultivators to switch to the Earth Immortal Dao, because as long as time continues to accumulate, without accidents, they will one day produce an Individual Immortal, even a Human Immortal or Earth Immortal.”

Of course, this is the most ideal scenario.

After all, the Primal Spirit Realm is full of incidents, and even Earth Immortal forces cannot guarantee their lineage’s continuous survival, plus they only have the most basic Earth Immortal Dao methods in hand; reaching a high-level realm requires their own deductions.

But the ability of the Earth Immortal Dao to accumulate over generations, beneficial to descendants, is very attractive to all small factions.

“However, success and failure both hinge on the Cave Heaven; all one’s skills are tied to it, and if someone destroys the Cave Heaven or there’s internal unrest, the lord of the Cave Heaven will inevitably suffer backlash.”
