Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1567: Chapter 1252: Evil Energy (Part 2)

”We will send thirty thousand disciples to join you, and if this fails again, you know the consequences.”

Upon hearing this, Lai Jiang couldn’t help but shudder.

After all, Earth Immortal Demon Practitioners are not mere rabble; in the Demonic Tao, the status and position of Earth Immortals are quite high. It’s not like those small Demon Cultivators who lose their lives if a task fails. However, punishment is inevitable.

”Eighty thousand, nearly ninety thousand disciples will surely be able to take down this small Human Immortal family!” Lai Jiang muttered to himself, as though cheering himself on.

”Moreover, I’m personally involved, am I not?!”

As a grand Earth Immortal, if he personally took action and still couldn’t resolve the Li family matter, he surely wouldn’t have the face to continue staying here.

As for the tacit rules shared between both sides? In the face of mission failure, what does a rule mean?

Besides, as long as it’s cleaned up thoroughly with no evidence left behind, who could prove that he acted?

The Li family, at this moment, remained unaware that the Demon Cultivators they had recently defeated would soon return, stronger than ever!

Time flies, and in a flash, the day of the Celestial banquet arrived.

The banquet held by the Heavenly Court, known as the Ten Thousand Gods Festival, only Divine above the Immortal Realm qualified to attend. The banquet was of high standard yet accompanied by numerous rare Spiritual Objects matching such standards.

Thus, many Divine hoped that someday they could attend this festival, not to mention those Spiritual Objects that significantly benefitted their cultivation.

The Li family had only Xiaoqing, Cang, and Li Mingyao as Divine in the Immortal Realm, although few, their actions were convenient; they flew directly to the Heavenly Court together.

After arriving at the Heavenly Court, the trio did not go to wait at the Palace of the Polestar but headed to the Sun and Moon Temple, to inform Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo about the Black Divine Statue.

”A Divine full of evil energy?” Li Chengshuo frowned upon hearing this. She had seen many Evil Gods, but had never heard of such an existence.

Quietly deducing beside her, Li Chengsheng opened his eyes after a moment and said, ”Someone has concealed the divine secrets, nothing can be discovered.”

”But this matter seems related to the Divine Path, we must report to the Heavenly Emperor promptly.”

”We shall wait at the Palace of the Polestar.” Xiaoqing and the others decided not to go to meet the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei, as the sibling explanation was sufficient.

”After the festival, we’ll talk with the elders.”

Having said that, Li Chengsheng delivered the five of them to not far from the Palace of the Polestar, and then they split to act.

The siblings headed directly to the rear hall where Ziwei usually resided, figuring he would still be preparing.

”Hmm? Why have you come at this time?”

Ziwei raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, ”From your expressions, could something unfavorable have happened?”

”Just learned something from the clan elders...”

After the explanation, Li Chengsheng added, ”I tried deducing, but someone has concealed with great power, I could only faintly sense it’s related to the rise and fall of the Divine Path.”

”It’s that serious?”

Ziwei’s expression instantly became serious because he knew Li Chengsheng wouldn’t lie or exaggerate.

”Please sit.”

The two sides were familiar, and after greeting, Ziwei began to operate his methods, detecting the identity and origin of that Black Divine Statue.

His path of deduction was far superior to Li Chengsheng’s and he could see more clearly. Indeed, there was a mist obscuring it, but that sheer evil energy was still detected by Ziwei.

’I can’t believe I won’t find you!’

Ziwei vowed silently, communicating with the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure Seal, mobilizing the power of the Heavenly Emperor Fruit Position, and instantly a majestic ziguang pressed towards the mist, seeming to disperse it.

The mist stagnated for a moment and was forcibly dispersed, allowing Ziwei to see the identity of the opponent, indeed a Divine full of evil energy.

Originally he was a Demon Cultivator but somehow suddenly took the Divine Path, seemingly guided by someone.

Ziwei indeed found a mysterious figure in his past secretly guiding and cultivating him.

”Pff——”

Just as he was about to probe deeper into that figure, the Divine’s projection in the long river of time suddenly shattered.

A Divine of Earth Immortal died just like that!

Ziwei opened his eyes, his expression terribly grim, because this hidden hand behind had cultivation at least at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, otherwise they couldn’t achieve this.

”Has Emperor discovered anything?” Li Chengsheng asked softly.

”Something very significant, had it not been for your informing me of this matter, I wouldn’t have discovered that the Heavenly Court, the Divine Path, is hiding such dangers secretly.”

In the probing process, Ziwei discovered that although the fate of the Divine Path was still flourishing, it was in a state of a fierce fire cooking oil, and faint traces of catastrophic qi were swirling.

Bear in mind, the Divine Path arises from the Heavenly Dao, maintaining the order of the universe, arranging laws, promoting the development and evolution of the universe, fate, and merit are absolutely abundant.

Yet, what should have been a positive state begins to show signs of decay...

Fortunately, knowing fairly early, Ziwei still had plenty of time to amend and refine.

”The festival is about to begin, let’s leave this for later conversation.”

”Alright.”

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo left first for the Palace of the Polestar, sitting in their seats.

No matter their current realm, strength, or status, they were qualified to sit in the first row at the banquet, especially since they were among the earliest to follow the ”Dragon’s Ministers.”

Those qualified to sit ahead of them were only those few Emperors.

Ding-dong-ding—

Shortly after they had seated, bell chimes sounded, indicating the auspicious time had arrived, marking the formal commencement of the Ten Thousand Gods Festival.

Ziwei slowly rose from the throne, delivering auspicious words and future expectations, which all the Divine naturally echoed.

Following this, Spiritual Fruits brimming with Spiritual Energy were presented to the gods.

Depending on the seating, each Divine’s treatment varied.

The treatments for Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo were among the best, with several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures waiting for them to refine.

As for Xiaoqing, Li Mingyao, and the others, the grade of Spiritual Objects before them was notably lower, though there were still rare treasures not often seen outside.

Wine cups clinked, toasts exchanged.

The rich Spiritual Wine led many Divine to feel intoxicated, drunken beyond measure.

Amidst a joyful atmosphere, the festival reached its conclusion.

”In the days to come, I hope all will diligently perform their Divine duties, regulate heaven and earth, and accumulate merit!” Lastly, Ziwei spoke a sentence rich in meaning.

Regrettably, among the numerous Divine present, less than one-tenth truly understood.

”Uncle Qingpeng, Shuo and I haven’t been home for quite some time; this time we’ll return with you all.” Li Chengsheng transmitted to Xiaoqing and the others.

They naturally had no objections, for it was the siblings’ home.

Thus, from the trio, became a quintet returning.

”During these times, are father and mother still secluded in cultivation?”

Despite Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu both being on Mount Wanxian, they had no chance to meet, especially when realizing Jiang Fengwu was attempting to reach the Realm of Human Immortality.

”Mother has accumulated for so many years, her mana is profound, the Human Immortal Thunder Tribulation surely won’t trouble her.”

Li Chengshuo proudly said, ”Furthermore, you should know mother can form arrays within the void, instantly, as an Array Master, Thunder Tribulation doesn’t amount to much to her.”

She too studied formations for a long time, although no longer pursued them.

Even though they couldn’t meet their parents, the siblings didn’t leave immediately but stayed for several days at Mount Wanxian, exchanging insights with Xiaoqing, Li Mingyao, and others.

While termed an exchange, given the siblings’ realm and cultivation, most often it was them lecturing, others listening.

As Sun and Moon Gods, with Yue, Li, and other Spirit Beasts assisting in their Divine roles, they couldn’t stay away too long.

They planned to lecture many of the clan members once before returning to the Divine Domain.

The clan members who learned of this were naturally excited beyond measure, for a lecture by an Earth Immortal was a lifelong dream for many!
