Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1769: Chapter 1353: Understanding (2)

The younger generation, including talents like Li Chongqi, Li Dedu, and Li Qingjing, have already reached the Perfect Human Immortal Realm and are expected to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm within a thousand years.

Legacy flows in order, with a heritage spanning at least five generations, it can truly be called profound!

Of course, besides these promising clan members, many others have fallen for various reasons.

Currently, some clan members reminisce their glorious past, and perhaps soon only the urn tower behind the family shrine will bear their names.

After all, the path of cultivation has never been a broad and smooth road, but is filled with difficulties and dangers, a precarious path on a cliff, where one wrong step leads to a shattered body!

Among mortals, they say the success of one general comes at the cost of countless bones, and on the path of cultivation, beings face even more brutal circumstances!

...

Li Zhirui slowly gathered his scattered thoughts and flew towards his Cave Mansion, sending messages to Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and others to gather detailed information on the major events in the Li family and the Primal Spirit Realm over the past two millennia.

”Jiu!”

Before long, only Cang arrived alone.

However, he could understand, as with the advancement in cultivation, most were busy comprehending the Laws and in closed-door practice, unable to be at his beck and call like before.

Even having Cang arrive exceeded his expectations.

”You’ve finally returned!”

Cang came over eagerly, but upon approaching, he sensed something amiss. After scrutinizing for a while, he hesitantly asked, ”Why do you still carry a faint Catastrophic Qi?”

”Although I haven’t returned for many years, the Heavenly Dao has not forgotten me. So upon returning to the Primal Spirit Realm, I faced two calamities.”

Li Zhirui smiled and said, ”The power of those two tribulations was not trivial, nearly causing my downfall.”

Only then did Cang realize, mainly due to his status as a great deity ruling a domain of waters, having luck, having merit, the three calamities and nine tribulations seemed trivial to him, not worth mentioning, not taking them seriously.

After some casual conversation, Li Zhirui then asked, ”What major events have occurred in the Primal Spirit Realm and the family over the past two millennia?”

”The disputes among various factions and forces need not be elaborated, as they remain as frequent as ever; I’ll only mention a few significant events with deep impacts.”

Cang paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, then continued, ”Firstly, the Human Dao and the Immortal Tao have reached a deal, and now not a single Human Dao power remains in the East Continent, having all relocated to the Southern Domain...”

”This deal was not a loss for the Immortal Tao.”

Li Zhirui nodded, suddenly remembering something and quickly asked, ”Without the Great Zhou’s restraint on the Cave Abyss Sect, have they targeted the family?”

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Cang’s face, ”Without the Great Zhou, there are still the Yumen He Family and Xiaxian Sect! With such a vast territory of the Great Zhou, how could these two not be tempted?”

Originally, small forces acted as buffers between these three Heavenly Immortal powers, but in the struggle for the Great Zhou’s leftover territory, they were quickly annexed.

Now the situation is that the three are directly adjacent, and so far, the territory has not even been properly divided, suggesting many more years of entanglement.

Thus, the Cave Abyss Sect is just as before, with no extra energy to bother the Li family.

”The development of the Human Dao in the Southern Domain is also good, already occupying most of the land. However, the conflicts between the various empires and kingdoms are quite severe; otherwise, they would surely occupy more land.”

Li Zhirui did not comment on this, for he thoroughly studied the Human Dao back then, knowing that the key to the strength of the Human Dao forces is population and land!

After moving to the Southern Domain, there is plenty of the Land Without Master waiting for them to occupy, without that worry, but the population cannot increase rapidly, so they have to seek solutions externally, with the best being annexing other Human Dao forces!

”Moreover, the Sea Clan paid a significant price to completely seize the Western Sea from the Demonic Tao, while launching several attacks on the East Sea’s coastal areas and Beiming Sea, attempting to dominate all seas.”

”However, no other factions wish to see this situation occur, so during that time, the Sea Clan became the enemy of the world! Even the Devil Race and Divine Path plotted against them in secret.”

After hearing this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and said, ”The Sea Clan shouldn’t be foolish to this extent, something feels like a cover.”

”Jiu, as always, you’re sharp and caught on immediately.”

Cang naturally praised him with a sentence before continuing, ”Indeed! At the time, everyone thought the Sea Clan was insane, but later it was discovered their actions were to attract the attention of the world, as their true aim was for an old Heavenly Immortal to challenge the Mystic Immortal!”

”It’s said that this one’s true form is a giant Kun, with a body spanning over ten thousand miles. The Mystic Immortal Realm’s Thunder Tribulation caused him little harm, and he easily overcame it, becoming the first Mystic Immortal.”

”Fortunately, after his breakthrough, he didn’t linger in the Primal Spirit Realm for long and directly transcended, otherwise the situation in the Primal Spirit Realm might have undergone earth-shattering changes.”

”Hmm?”

Li Zhirui had no particular reaction to the previous descriptions, but upon hearing the last statement, he immediately asked, ”You said he directly transcended shortly after his breakthrough, rather than going out on a journey?”

”Exactly! During his transcendence, various phenomena appeared in heaven and earth.” Cang affirmed with a nod.

”That’s rather strange! His true form belongs to one of the races with the greatest need for Spiritual Energy, so logically, he should be burdened with substantial karma. How could he transcend so easily?”

”This question has puzzled the world for a long time, but with the Sea Clan not explaining, everyone remains in the dark.”

Li Zhirui nodded, knowing that regardless of their purpose, the Sea Clan would not reveal this secret.

Cang then continued, ”Having covered the world-shifting events, let’s move on to matters related to the family having long-term impact.”

”Cheng Sheng and Cheng Shuo siblings have already broken through to Heavenly Immortal, and due to the actions of a certain person in the Heavenly Court, the Divine born of human blood lost faith in him, thus hoping for the two to rise and assist the human race.”

”In order to avoid disputes, they have kept a low profile and hardly appear over the years.”

Li Zhirui understandingly nodded, knowing their temperaments well enough to realize they would not have any ambitions for power, and it’s good that they now choose to stay clear.

Although for the Divine, transcending difficulty is much harder than for beings practicing other Daos, it’s not entirely impossible!

”Not long after, Shen and Mu deduced an Earth Immortal Dao Secret Technique that could transform a Cave Heaven into a star, embedding it into the Star Sea, converting Chaotic Spiritual Energy, cultivating while also benefiting heaven and earth. It once again made the Earth Immortal Dao famous, with the family also gaining fame alongside.”

Following this, there are some relatively minor affairs in the family.

For instance, Da Qing recently went into seclusion, beginning to challenge the Earth Immortal Realm; the Clan Leader is no longer Li Chongmiao, replaced by a second named Li Xianlang; family development, and so on.

After several hours, even Cang was dry-throated from speaking.

In the end, he curiously asked, ”Jiu, after being away on such a long excursion, are you confident in breaking through to Heavenly Immortal?”

”You all really overestimate me, but I’m still far from breaking through that step.”

Li Zhirui helplessly shook his head, ”It’s just that the bottleneck is no longer rigidly stuck, but has shown a small gap.”

To those close like Cang, he naturally would not hide anything.

”Unfortunately, my state is unsuitable for training in The Void.” He spoke with a trace of envy on his face.

Since enjoying the benefits of the Divine, one must also bear the consequences.
