Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1827: Chapter 1382: Return (Part 2)

”So, for a long time to come, the Demonic Tao will have no extra strength to deal with us.”

These words indeed eased the anxiety and tension among the Elders, but they did not receive their approval. Immediately, someone asked, ”But doing this brings no benefit to the family! Instead, it leads to one misfortune after another.”

A large number of Loose Cultivators and subordinate forces fleeing Shanhai State would inevitably cause the family’s future income to plummet. Moreover, if this negative impact is not eliminated swiftly, it could persist for a very long time!

After all, other forces will surely seize this golden opportunity to try every possible way to keep them, such as by offering certain leasing discounts on Cave Mansions.

”No! This is not a bad thing; instead, it will promote the development of the family.”

Li Liangxiang shook his head, saying seriously, ”You all may not have noticed, but the number of clan members is simply too many. So much so that it won’t be long before it reaches the territory’s limit.”

”It’s just the right time to reorganize and establish more family residences while a large number of Loose Cultivators are leaving.”

If Da Qing hadn’t pointed this out to him, Li Liangxiang would not have thought of this!

And it’s not just him; many people have overlooked the issue of how many the clan territory can accommodate.

After all, Mount Wanxian has a Human Immortal Rank Spirit Vein and several Loose Immortal Grade Spirit Veins. In their perception, there was no realization that the number of clan members could reach the Spirit Vein’s limit.

Probably the entire Li family, only Xiaoqing paid attention to this issue, creating opportunities for the family to build new residences without much cost.

If those Loose Cultivators were still in Shanhai State, the family would have to find ways to make them leave first, perhaps even at some cost. But now, most of the Loose Cultivators are gone, saving that expense.

After understanding the situation clearly, the discontent in the Elders’ hearts immediately dissipated, and even a bit of shame arose, realizing that although they were supposed to be managing the family’s development, they hadn’t noticed such an important issue. Spirit Ancestor Qingpeng had solved it instead.

After sending them off, Li Liangxiang sat back and began contemplating one issue—how to reduce the growth rate of the clan members!

This problem has been troubling the family for many years.

Because as the family develops and after the Primal Spirit Realm ascends, influenced by the increasingly dense Spiritual Energy, more and more newborns possess Spiritual Roots in their bloodline.

And since the Li family is a family bound by blood ties and kinship, not a sect inherited by master and disciple, they cannot simply reject a clan member from pursuing cultivation just because of poor aptitude.

But the result is the rapid expansion of clan members’ numbers!

Currently, they can alleviate Mount Wanxian’s pressure by building new residences, but this is only a temporary solution. They can’t just keep building new residences whenever they can’t bear it anymore, right?

How much territory is there in Shanhai State?

Therefore, a solution must be found to fundamentally solve this problem and prevent this situation from continuing.

...

Meanwhile.

Far away in the West Continent, at Rahu Demon Mountain!

Boom boom boom——

A series of crisp shattering sounds echoed through the mountain for half a minute before stopping.

It is imaginable how angry they are!

”Damned Li family! How dare they insult us, throwing our dignity to the ground and trampling it! I want to make them completely disappear from the Primal Spirit Realm!”

”No! Doing so is still too lenient. They should be made to seek life in vain, and seek death in vain! To suffer endless torment, worse than death! Only then can I vent the hatred in my heart!”

”I want to immediately deploy disciples to let them know our might!”

The qi cultivation skills of Demon Cultivators are inferior to Cultivators. Moreover, this time, they faced humiliation from a ’trivial’ Heavenly Immortal Family, unable to suppress their inner fury.

Each shouted angrily, and if a member of the Li Clan stood before them now, who knows how many times they’d be killed!

Yet among them, there were still some who remained calm.

”Given the current situation, we cannot deploy much strength. The Immortal Tao, the Sea Clan, and the Devil Race are all eyeing us predatorily. As soon as we show any weakness, those three will undoubtedly pounce fiercely, seeking vengeance!” said a Demon Cultivator.

But immediately, another Demon Cultivator scornfully questioned, ”So you’re saying, we can only turn a blind eye to this insult?”

”Exactly, how much force can the mere Li family consume from us? Rather, as long as they live another day, we endure another day of humiliation!”

The first Demon Cultivator, seeing this, said nothing further. At this point, what more could be said? But internally, he still held little hope for this action.

However, before they could act, they were surrounded!

It seemed as though the Sea Clan and Devil Race collaborated, attacking on the same day, at the same time!

Particularly with these two large factions, known worldwide for their numbers, this move was no exception, with over a million Devil Beasts and Sea Clan members attacking from the south and the west towards the West Continent.

Like a massive wave, everything in their path, all Demonic Tao attempting to resist, was devoured, turning them into corpses.

Moreover, bad news followed swiftly; soon, information came that the Immortal Tao was also preparing to act!

Faced with the formidable enemy, the Demonic Tao had entirely put aside the insult from the Li family, focusing solely on surviving this enormous crisis before addressing other matters.

The once oppressed, quiet West Continent suddenly became lively.

However, this lively atmosphere was not true excitement, but rather filled with a strong aura of blood and killing, and the hustle and bustle of death!

As the news of the battle between the Demonic Tao and the Devil Race, Sea Clan, and Immortal Tao spread, many nearby Loose Cultivators in Shanhai State suddenly realized and understood.

The actions of the Li family at the time weren’t baseless but were already calculated.

Subsequently, they felt a strong sense of regret. To think, in their haste to leave Shanhai State, many leased Cave Mansions and Spirit Fields were finally sold cheaply, losing quite a few Spirit Stones!

Meanwhile, the strict local rules and various punishments made them miss the relatively free Shanhai State even more.

Unfortunately, because they rented Cave Mansions for a long time at a good price and couldn’t return them, unless they abandoned the Spirit Stones used for leasing them, they had no way to leave in the short term.

At this time, the Li family completely disregarded the thoughts of those Loose Cultivators, focusing only on quickly building the new residences.

...

The story so far, in different places.

Still in Void Chaos, in secluded cultivation perfecting the methods, Li Zhirui was completely unaware that the Primal Spirit Realm had undergone a tremendous calamity and that the family had fought a battle with Demon Cultivators.

His secluded cultivation this time, thanks to the very tranquil chaos around him, had not been disturbed, and he didn’t even realize how much time had passed.

But long secluded cultivation with such immersion has its benefits!

Namely, the Chaos God Demon Dao Body Method that he longed for was finally successfully derived and perfected.

However, cultivation also has its prerequisites, requiring at the very least a Heavenly Immortal Perfection cultivation and a strong physical body to withstand the immense Chaotic Spiritual Energy.

So next, apart from daily comprehension of the Laws and Mana accumulation, Li Zhirui had to take the time to strengthen his physical body to prepare for his transformation.

”Time really flies! In the blink of an eye, more than a millennium has passed.”

Li Zhirui silently calculated the time in his heart and then couldn’t help but sigh. He had no awareness of how many years had gone by.

”I should also go back and see how the family has developed.”

With his words, Li Zhirui’s figure vanished.

The originally grey and hazy void suddenly lit up with a flash of greenish-blue Spirit Light, but it quickly disappeared.

Where he secluded himself for cultivation was not far from the Primal Spirit Realm, so there was no need to spend too much time on the road.
