Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1617: Chapter 1277: Conservation (Part 2)

It’s not that she is cold-blooded, but it concerns both of their futures!

”You’re right, I was being inconsiderate.” Li Chengsheng pondered for a moment, ultimately agreeing with Li Chengshuo’s opinion, deciding not to make a deal with Ziwei.

Soon after, they opened the barrier, and in the next instant, Ziwei returned to the grand hall.

”Apologies, the essence concerns the foundation and cannot be used for trade,” Li Chengsheng said apologetically.

”No matter, I understand.” Despite his words, his face could not hide his disappointment.

”If the Heavenly Emperor has nothing else to instruct, then I shall take my leave.”

”Alright.”

”Mother, they are unwilling to surrender the essence,” Ziwei said with some disappointment.

”What’s surprising about that? The essence is of great importance, how can it be handed over easily to others?”

The voice of Doumu Lord seemed to come from a very distant place, fleeting and uncertain, ”Just think of another way.”

...

After the siblings returned to the Yin Yang Divine Domain, Li Chengshuo spoke, ”Looking at his final reaction, he seemed to be telling the truth.”

”Why? Regret it?”

”There’s nothing to regret, it’s just a bit of sentiment.”

”Better not to concern ourselves with these trivial matters anymore.”

Li Chengsheng reminded, ”Focus on improving our strength. As divine beings, we will surely be even more suppressed when we go to the Otherworld.”

”But before that, we must plant the Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds that the family brought.”

After arranging all kinds of affairs, they both returned to their cave mansions and began their secluded cultivation.

...

In a certain Immortal City in the East Continent.

”The Dao of the Array lies within the myriad things of heaven and earth! To model after heaven and earth is the true path, it’s a pity I’ve realized this somewhat late.” Jiang Fengwu slowly opened her eyes, speaking half with relief, half with regret.

Having cultivated to the Realm of Human Immortality, she has truly realized the essence of modeling after heaven and earth!

In the over two hundred years she spent traveling for training, her realm advanced more than it did during centuries of seclusion on Mount Wanxian, though still short of breaking through to the Middle Stage of Human Immortal, but she was constantly getting closer.

In a few hundred years, she might be able to take another step further!

This speed of cultivation was something Jiang Fengwu had not anticipated before.

After a brief rest, she set off again on the journey of training.

She didn’t ride a Spirit Boat or use Escape Skill, just traveled on foot, measuring the land with her feet, traversing the world, capturing the myriad mountains and waters in her heart.

In this endeavor, Jiang Fengwu mastered more and more Array Patterns, and her Life-bound Magic Treasure Myriad Array Diagram was constantly inscribed with new patterns.

Not only in realm, but her cultivation in Array Tao improved even faster.

During this time, she also encountered many events, witnessing the rampage of Devil Beasts, the massacres by Demon Cultivators, and cultivators seizing treasures, but more than anything, she learned Array Patterns from heaven and earth.

”Strange!”

Jiang Fengwu walked on the land of the East Continent, always feeling something amiss, but couldn’t quite put a finger on it.

Until one day, when she passed by an Immortal City intending to sell an experimental Array Plate she refined on the way, she discovered that although the city still had many cultivators, there were noticeably fewer high-level cultivators!

Especially those from exceptional backgrounds were seen even less.

She had to know, she was now at the core of the East Continent, the most powerful Kunlun State! It was also a great place for cultivators from all over to train.

”What’s going on? What has happened?” Jiang Fengwu vaguely felt that something significant was involved, but couldn’t resist her curiosity and wanted to investigate.

Except for finding that high-grade cultivators of exceptional origin were much less out training, there were many cultivators eager to break through.

”There must be a significant event unfolding, otherwise these cultivators wouldn’t be so anxious to break through.”

The better their origins, the less they rush to break through, instead trying to solidify their foundations as much as possible, unlike now? Each anxious, wishing to undergo Tribulation Transcendence on the spot!

Not only Jiang Fengwu, but some other keen cultivators also noticed this peculiar situation, and to quickly unravel the mystery, they began to investigate together.

Yet no matter how much they investigated or the means they employed, there was no progress, ultimately dispersing regretfully.

At the same time, they too were influenced, becoming more fervent about breakthroughs.

...

Originally, the seabed, expected to be dark and gloomy, became forever bright and void of darkness due to the Crystal Palace sprawling over hundreds of miles.

”Is the investigation clear? Could what that Heavenly Emperor said be true?” asked a Heavenly Immortal Water Demon seated at the head, in a deep voice.

It was Ziwei who had relayed the matter of the war between the two realms to the many Earth Immortal deities of the Heavenly Court, among which a few from the Sea Clan relayed it to the Sea Clan immediately.

They hadn’t believed it, opting for their own investigation, and now had finally received the answer.

”Ancestor, it is indeed true! After much deduction, the Primal Spirit Realm and an Outer World have become entangled in causality, and war is unavoidable.”

The Sea Clan had paid a hefty price to reach this conclusion!

Other forces couldn’t have managed it since they didn’t have as many Heavenly Immortal Great Abilities or a special treasure.

”With a war beginning, who knows how many of our clansmen will fall!” lamented a certain Earth Immortal Water Demon with feigned sentiment.

The Sea Clan lacked no Water Devils; when had these high-grade Water Demons ever cared about their safety?

Therefore, other Water Devils couldn’t be bothered to respond to this comment.

After a brief chat, the Water Devils dispersed, leaving only the Heavenly Immortal Realm Water Demons.

”For us, it also presents an immense opportunity; by that time, we might have to venture into the Outer World.”

After reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they had their own plans and goals: to push their cultivation further and transcend this world!

Yet, this matter was exceedingly difficult.

To transcend and leave, they must repay the entirety of karma tied to the Primal Spirit Realm!

This step alone stumps seventy percent of Heavenly Immortals, not to mention breaking through realms, accumulating Mana, etc. Ultimately, only one out of a thousand could transcend!

But now, this sudden world war allowed them to glimpse an opportunity!

As long as they make significant contributions during the war between realms, they might repay their karma.

Whether they succeed or not depends on the specifics.

”Other Heavenly Immortals in the Primal Spirit Realm probably think the same, and the competition will likely be fierce.”

”With several hundred years before the war starts, what’s the use of thinking so much now? Better seize the time to cultivate, any bit of strength improved is gained strength.”

The grand hall soon fell into silence, and one after another, the manifestations of great abilities left.

As time passed like a wheel, alternating between day and night, a hundred years flashed by in an instant.

Li Guangjie reached the end of his term as Clan Leader, and through the election of clansmen, Li Xiuyuan became the new Clan Leader!

Upon taking office, he didn’t make drastic changes, focusing on ensuring the production of Spiritual Objects, distribution of resources, and other trivial affairs.

Yet, these small matters were crucial for the Li family now!

Because with the previous increase in cultivation resources for clan members, the demand for various Spiritual Objects naturally surged, and it was essential to maintain uninterrupted production, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to sustain such levels of consumption!

The huge effort yielded abundant gains.

In a century, the Li family birthed several new Individual Immortals, Cang successfully broke through to Human Immortal, Xiaoqing was also about to break through, and the improvement of Mortal Realm clansmen was even greater.

The overall family strength increased significantly!

Such significant and evident improvement motivated Li Xiuyuan and the Elders to strive to maintain it.

Now, the expenditure of resources and consumption of Spiritual Objects are used to enhance the cultivation and strength of clan members, but it’s certainly better than waiting for a war to break out and suffering heavy casualties due to insufficient strength, right?

Rumble—

The originally clear and sunny sky, cloudless as far as the eye could see, suddenly gathered clusters of clouds, overshadowing Mount Wanxian.

The clan members had long grown accustomed to Tribulation Transcendence; thus, they no longer swarmed eagerly upon seeing a Thunder Tribulation as they once did.

But soon, they realized something was amiss!

Because this time, the scope of the Thunder Tribulation far exceeded any they had witnessed over the years.
