Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1671: Chapter 1304: Fierce Battle (Part 2)

…

After half a month of flying swiftly, Li Zhirui finally returned to the family’s location smoothly.

“Ancestor Rui! You’re back?”

The few family members guarding the outskirts of the location sighed in relief upon recognizing him.

“Hmm? What’s going on with you all?” Li Zhirui was curious, as they seemed overly tense.

“Recently, there might be an Earth Immortal power invading, so the family has arranged a large number of family members to carefully observe the situation outside to inform the family ahead of time and prepare for the impending battle,” one of the clan members explained.

“I remember the family’s location is quite remote, and the family is rather low-key. How could it provoke the forces of this realm to attack?” Li Zhirui frowned slightly. Could it be that they took the initiative…

“Well, this… It’s not appropriate for me to say too much. Ancestor Rui, if you wish to know, you can look into this matter yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui had a rough understanding in his heart. It was nothing more than the clan members not following his previous arrangements to stay quietly in place and not provoke those more powerful forces.

What puzzled him, however, was after his departure, the family was left with only Li Zhixuan as the sole Earth Immortal. How dare the family confront an Earth Immortal power?

But once he entered the location, his doubts were resolved!

“So it was because Sheng and Shuo came, no wonder the family’s strategy became much more aggressive.”

With the addition of two Earth Immortals, it’s no surprise the clan members gained a lot more courage. Perhaps they have already achieved quite a bit in the past year.

“Father, you’re back!” Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo immediately shouted.

Li Zhirui furrowed his brows, not knowing why, when they called him, a trace of unease flashed through his heart!

“Jiu!”

He didn’t have time to think much when another voice interrupted his thoughts, “You’re back just in time! The family will soon face a major battle. With your addition, our chances of winning have significantly increased.”

“Tell me in detail, what’s going on.”

“Naturally, let’s first go to the main hall and sit down to discuss slowly.”

With that, Xiaoqing led the way in the front, followed by Li Zhirui and the others.

Once everyone settled down, they began to discuss the family’s development and changes over the past year.

The development mainly divides into two stages. Before Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo arrived, with only Li Zhixuan as the Earth Immortal, the family was still following Li Zhirui’s arrangements, only dealing with those Human Immortal powers.

But after the addition of the siblings, many family members couldn’t hold it anymore, feeling that dealing with Human Immortal powers didn’t feel satisfying.

Thus, they started planning and scheming against Xuanbai Mountain, and after paying some cost, they managed to overthrow this Earth Immortal power!

This was already the third Earth Immortal power that the Li family had eliminated since entering the Golden Light Realm.

Yet, during this period, the Golden Light Realm faced a series of upheavals one after another!

It was said in the southern continent, two Heavenly Immortal powers were destroyed, and the human race powers on the South Sea, as well as the Devil Beasts in the sea, were also wiped out by a powerful invading force.

This means a large area of the southern continent, including vast ocean areas, fell into the hands of the invading force.

And that wasn’t all!

In the southeast, the disaster of invading powers broke out as well, causing a significant number of local creatures to perish, reportedly already bordering the forces in the south, to mutually assist each other.

Preliminary estimates suggest that at least fifteen percent of the land has been taken by these invading forces.

Even though this fifteen percent is merely human race territory, not the entire Golden Light Realm, the area is broad enough to accommodate these three forces with ease.

“No wonder the pressure on me is getting weaker. Here’s the reason!”

After hearing all this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but marvel, “They’re truly top-tier formidable powers, so formidable in their actions, benefiting all the invaders.”

“But it’s also because of this that they ignited the fury of all the forces in this realm, making them now scour for invaders everywhere; if caught, it’s a dead end. If one’s strength isn’t strong, there’s no chance of survival,” Xiaoqing calmly explained.

The current situation the Li family faces is not entirely because of this; there are also reasons from their own side.

After all, Xuanbai Mountain’s strength wasn’t weak originally, and the sudden disappearance of a local hegemon naturally attracted a lot of attention and investigation.

The Li family was exposed at that time, but thanks to the characteristics of Three Rivers Mountain, blocking all Heavenly Calculation Deduction, and being very cautious in their actions, no local forces have found them yet.

But as they spread the net far and wide in their search, someday they’ll come knocking, it’s just a matter of time.

Thus, Xiaoqing and the others discussed, instead of passively waiting, why not take the initiative?

But it’s not about directly attacking the mountain gate, but rather eliminating part of the investigating cultivators, exposing their own location, making them the attackers.

“Hmm, your strategy is already quite perfect, just proceed with executing it,” Li Zhirui listened and had no intentions to change the plan; it was already sufficient.

By then, he would merely need to contribute his power to secure victory for the family!

“Have you considered the actions after this battle ends?”

Seeing everyone’s puzzled looks, Li Zhirui chuckled and said, “The situation in the Golden Light Realm will certainly become increasingly severe and more dangerous.”

“What if someday, a Heavenly Immortal with great ability emerges and eradicates the Li family, and we don’t have the power to avenge?”

In the Golden Light Realm, there aren’t those hidden rules, and with the two realms already in war, there’s no need for those stringent regulations.

“Jiu, are you suggesting that after this battle, we should head south to seek refuge with the Divine Path?” Xiaoqing and others quickly understood the implication of Li Zhirui’s words.

“Exactly, the family’s power is still too weak, incapable of confronting the Heavenly Immortals.”

“But the land controlled by the Divine Path is too far from the family’s current location; amid the current circumstances, it’s impossible to travel such long distances; and if we arrive and the Divine Path is unwilling to shelter us, what should we do then?”

Xiaoqing raised two valid concerns; the former being the distance poses an enormous risk of encountering dangerous situations, especially in the current environment.

The latter is not much to worry about, the Divine Path holding so much land can’t control such a vast area solely with a few Divine Path powers; they will inevitably require other forces to settle in.

This way, they can harness the power of the Primal Spirit Realm and engage in a massive-scale battle with the Golden Light Realm!

If previous battles merely served to alleviate the Heavenly Dao’s suppression and restore their own strength, then this battle could be deemed the final battle!
