Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1751: Chapter 1344: Transformation (Part 2)

The four of them were overjoyed upon hearing the words and immediately stood up to bow, saying, ”Thank you, Ancestor, for the treasure gift! We have no way to repay this kindness in this life, except with our lives!”

They didn’t expect such a great fortune to fall upon them.

”Cultivate well, protect and strengthen the Demon Spirit Clan. In the future, you can pave the way for the younger generation, and that will be the greatest repayment to me.”

Shen shook his head and said to the other devil spirits, ”You need not be discouraged, I will continue to refine the methods and lower their difficulty as much as possible, so that everyone can use them.”

Hearing this, the gloom in their hearts dissipated a bit.

”Alright, Qing Yu, Fu Luo... you four come with me.”

Next came the phase where Shen and Mu personally guided and instructed them, while the other devil spirits could only study and comprehend on their own.

The sun rose and the moon set, and the seasons changed from spring to autumn.

The peach blossoms on the Changli Mountain Range had blossomed and withered several rounds. Amidst the fine spring rain, they finally came out of retreat.

Early next morning, Shen took the initiative, using mana to sever the connection between the Cave Heaven and the Spirit Vein. In an instant, the Spirit Vein made of Spirit Stones replaced it.

Simultaneously, the Traction Array inside the Cave Heaven was immediately activated, resonating with the formation in the starry sky. The Cave Heaven space, which looked like a bubble, rapidly flew towards the starry sky.

But by the time the Cave Heaven truly entered the starry sky, more than an hour had passed, and the Spirit Vein made of Spirit Stones had been mostly consumed. Therefore, he had to seize the time.

Shen immediately embedded the Star Core on the fringe of the starry sky. A mysterious force emerged as the Star Core glimmered, seemingly absorbing the chaotic spiritual energy from the void to enhance itself.

During the birth of the star, he seized the moment to move the Cave Heaven space over, merging with it.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The newly born star and the Cave Heaven had a minor conflict, but since the Star Core had been refined by Shen early on, filled with his aura, it soon calmed down and slowly began to integrate.

”Whew!”

Seeing this, Shen let out a sigh of relief. The whole process was quite smooth, avoiding any of the worries he had.

”You may also proceed to act, placing the stars nearby, relying on each other, and also staying away from the disputes of the Divine Path.”

He hadn’t forgotten the warnings from Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, whether it was the Earth Immortal Dao or the Demon Spirit Clan, both were quite weak right now. Involvement would surely lead to a bad ending!

This was also why Shen chose the outskirts of the starry sky, which was far from trouble and sparsely populated.

The downside was its proximity to the void, making it the frontline if a war between the two realms occurred.

However, two-realm wars were rare, occurring once in tens of thousands of years, so it was unlikely they’d be that unlucky.

”Good!”

Mu, Qing Yu, and Fu Luo watched eagerly, impatient to move the Cave Heaven into the starry sky.

In the following days, the remaining five successfully combined their Cave Heavens with the stars.

However, at present, the stars were still growing, and the Cave Heavens were still integrating, leaving them temporarily unable to enter. They could only guard nearby to prevent destruction by others.

What Shen and others did not know was that their continuous actions had attracted the attention of multiple forces.

The most closely monitoring ones were the Immortal Tao and Divine Path, especially the Star God Lineage.

It was known that the starry sky had always been the private domain for Star Gods, yet now a group of strangers arrived, cultivating Immortal Tao methods.

They were eager to know what Shen’s group was doing and were direct in sending someone to inquire: ”Dear Fellow Daoists, why abandon your pursuit of the laws in the East Continent to venture into the starry sky?”

In truth, had it not been for seeing the divine mark of the Sun, Moon, and Star Lord, they wouldn’t have been this courteous.

”We are Earth Immortal Dao cultivators; our arrival in the starry sky is for cultivation...” Shen briefly explained.

The Star God seemed a bit puzzled but understood they wouldn’t be leaving the starry sky, expecting more cultivators might come in the future.

”Fellow Daoist, the starry sky is the domain of the Star Gods! Isn’t it inappropriate to occupy this place uninvited?”

”The starry sky is vast and boundless, with plenty of empty spaces. My occupation of a small patch doesn’t affect anything,” Shen chuckled dismissively.

In fact, he had a token given by Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, but he would not reveal it unless absolutely necessary.

Because that would directly associate the Earth Immortal Dao with the Sun and Taiyin lineages, unfavorable for their future development.

”Besides, our Earth Immortal Dao methods are of significant help to the Primal Spirit Realm. Do you want to bear this karma?”

”This...”

These words left the Star God bewildered, knowing he couldn’t bear this karma, so he turned and left without further words.

”This isn’t a long-term solution; we must obtain Emperor Ziwei’s approval,” Mu said with a frown.

Though now trouble-free, what would happen once the Earth Immortal Dao grew? By then, it wouldn’t be just six cultivators!

If a conflict erupted, the Earth Immortal Dao would surely be on the losing side.

”Indeed,” after some discussion, they decided that once the Cave Heaven and stars were completely integrated, they would seek Ziwei to resolve the hidden risk.

Meanwhile, various Immortal Dao powers on the East Continent were also alerted to the news of Shen and his group heading toward the starry sky.

With gathered information, they swiftly learned about the Star Embedding and Spirit Transformation method and its general pros and cons.

”Never thought the Earth Immortal Dao methods could convert chaotic spiritual energy into spiritual energy, not only satisfying its cultivation needs but also repaying the heavens and earth,”

A Heavenly Immortal remarked: ”It’s like being divine, accumulating merit daily, with no worries for future tribulations and calamities.”

”Can we acquire the key core of this?”

Another Heavenly Immortal said, ”Most likely not; the core of their methods lies in the stars, and given our relationship with that Emperor, will he allow us into the starry sky?”

”What a pity.”

Most issues might have solutions, but mending relations with Ziwei was difficult.

After all, the Immortal Tao eyed the Emperor’s position, sought to push its own candidate, and attempted to create division among the Star Gods, thoroughly offending Ziwei and the Star God Lineage, making entry to the starry sky almost impossible.

”It’s possible to let Earth Immortal Dao cultivators try entering the starry sky.”

”We need not take this action; Star Cores are expensive and can’t be casually brought out for others to use.”

...

Other forces also noted the Earth Immortal Dao, but only to a slight degree, setting it aside afterward.

Ultimately, the Earth Immortal Dao was too weak to be considered by various forces, so naturally, its happenings weren’t much heeded.

Yet not everyone disregarded it.

When the Earth Immortal Dao was first established, many cultivators switched to its methods, and they now faced bottlenecks. Knowing about Shen, they came to the starry sky with a pilgrim’s mentality to seek guidance.

On this matter, he was always generous, withholding nothing, and freely transferring the methods to them.

This won Shen countless gratitude.

Time flew by, and soon more than half a year had passed.

The stars had matured, and the Cave Heavens were accessible, so everyone eagerly entered their Cave Heavens to check them out.

”Huh?”

Upon entering, Shen sensed something amiss.

”The size of the Cave Heaven has expanded considerably, and the spiritual energy has become more abundant. This method truly rewards my years of effort!”

However, the spiritual objects originally planted in the Cave Heaven had withered over the years due to lack of care.

As Earth Immortal Dao cultivators, the size and prosperity of a Cave Heaven directly influence a cultivator’s strength and even cultivation.

This meant that Shen’s strength had improved!

And this situation wasn’t unique to him; Mu, Qing Yu, and Fu Luo each experienced varying degrees of change.

This piqued Shen’s curiosity; despite following similar steps, why were the outcomes different?
