Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1738: Chapter 1338: Explosion

Just a moment ago, Cang was delighted about Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but with this reminder, she immediately realized that it wasn’t entirely a good thing.

Before this, many human factions came to Shanhai State, trying in various ways to establish a good relationship with the Li family. Directly sending gifts was considered a rather crude method; more often, it was through trade exchanges.

In this way, the Li family couldn’t easily refuse, as many of the trade items were Spiritual Objects the Li family needed, or rare treasures seldom seen elsewhere.

Even before the siblings’ breakthrough, these factions were already so generous; now that they both achieved Heavenly Immortal status simultaneously, these factions are likely to grow even more fervent!

The root cause of this situation was Ziwei’s secret assistance to the Sea Clan and Devil Race, trapping almost all the human race deities.

This made it so that, in times of crisis, this not-insignificant force of the human race was unusable, leading to even more severe casualties.

Since then, human factions have held an indifferent, even hostile attitude towards the Heavenly Court and the Divine Path.

However, at the same time, they did not give up on the Heavenly Court. Instead, they wanted to control it themselves!

But most humans are deities by Postnatal Decree, with mediocre cultivation and lacking divine positions or status that would command the respect and acknowledgment of most deities.

Among the few candidates, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo stood out. As Innate Gods, they were not only noble but their cultivation was also not low, nearly breaking through the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Therefore, those human factions wished to elevate the siblings, allowing the human race to grasp the Heavenly Court!

However, neither the Li family nor the siblings themselves harbored any intentions or desires for power struggles.

The Heavenly Court, Heavenly Emperor, indeed held extremely high positions, but being entangled in such matters, it’s unclear whether it brings more harm than good to cultivation.

Regardless, it did not align with Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo’s temperament and aspirations. They sought to pursue the Great Tao, not bury themselves in affairs every day.

...

On the afternoon of their breakthrough, a group of human race deities quietly arrived at the Sun and Moon Divine Palace, seeking an audience with the siblings.

They also intended to use this opportunity to express the human race’s support for them, vowing full support for their rise!

”Two Star Lords, several deities are requesting a meeting outside.”

Li Chengsheng’s Spirit Division opened his eyes, a gleam flashed in them as he saw the situation outside and recognized their identities, saying, ”Do not meet them! Let them return.”

”Sorry, the Star Lords are unwilling to meet you, please leave.” The young attendant who went to report quickly returned, timidly delivering Li Chengsheng’s words without missing a beat.

This straightforward message revealed the siblings’ stance.

The faces of those deities instantly turned sullen. Although their cultivation was not as advanced as the two who had just broken through the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they represented many major human factions. How could they be shown such disrespect?!

The attendant, seeing their reaction, trembled inside, fearing they might lash out and cause him suffering.

”Fine! It seems the two Star Lords have forgotten their roots!” the lead human deity ground his teeth and spoke, then turned and left with a cold face.

”Hmph! If something happens in the future, don’t come asking for our help!”

”Just having broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they are so arrogant. I want to see what their fate will be!”

...

The other deities also left harsh words in discontent as they departed.

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo inside the Divine Palace remained unmoved, unconcerned with what they said. As for the threats? They were even more insignificant, just a slight concern about the family’s future circumstances at most.

Moreover, the supposedly covert actions of those human deities were observed by many other deities, who naturally saw the scene of them not even being allowed to enter.

”It seems that these two Star Lords genuinely have no intention of pursuing the position of Heavenly Emperor.”

A Great Ability at the Heavenly Immortal Realm mumbled, ”They abandon even their foundation and offend them.”

If Li Chengsheng had agreed to let them in and explained the situation, perhaps the human race would be disappointed, angry at the lack of ambition, but they wouldn’t be as furious as now!

But this is precisely the outcome he desired. Although it offended them and the forces behind them, it also avoided much trouble.

After all, if they weren’t resolute, they might repeatedly come to persuade them. Even if Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo refused by then, the explanation would be far from clear.

”What a pity! Even after breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they lack even a bit of ambition?” a Great Ability from the Divine Lineage sighed regrettably.

He hoped for the Beidou Star System and Sun and Moon Star System to clash in a civil war, affecting the entire Star God Lineage’s strength.

Only then could their Divine Lineages take the chance to rise!

Originally, the Star God Lineage’s power was the strongest within the Divine Path, and even after Doumu transcended away, weakening their high-end strength, the pressure on other Divine Lineages slightly decreased.

But how long had it been? The Star God Lineage saw two more Heavenly Immortals emerge, once again oppressively resting over them.

At the same time, another person involved in the matter—Ziwei—also paid attention to the development of the entire affair.

Even though he had already anticipated the outcome, when he saw Li Chengsheng refusing to meet others, he still felt slightly relieved.
