Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1854: Chapter 1396: Pending Revision

Li Zhirui did not walk around with his true appearance, and the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance did not discover this issue. Under incorrect guidance, how could they possibly get the right answer?

The final result was that the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance took a portrait completely recreated from the memory of a small race’s Clan Leader, spent a considerable amount of resources to compare it with human race Heavenly Immortals one by one, but none of them matched!

After all this effort, not only did they gain nothing, but they also ended up paying a lot in Spiritual Objects.

No matter how unwilling they were, the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance had to stop their actions, or else the loss would be even greater.

Thus, the originally large-scale search began to become particularly low-key.

Of course, the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance’s past moves still attracted the attention of many forces, who sent people to investigate what was going on.

However, they didn’t get any important information, only a deliberately spread rumor that a human race Heavenly Immortal had stolen several precious Spiritual Objects from the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance.

Some believed it, some did not, but it all had nothing to do with Li Zhirui, who had already left the Northern Domain!

Even though he knew the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance was scouring the world for him, he paid no mind. After all, those events were not done by him in his current form and identity, so he was not worried about being found.

After leaving, he began to travel around the East Continent, to see how the world’s ascension would alter this land.

Li Zhirui compared the land in front of him with what it was thousands of years ago and found it wasn’t simply that the Spiritual Energy had become denser, but there was also vitality and Dao Rhyme!

Moreover, there used to be numerous territories held by the Demonic Tao and Devil Race forces on the East Continent, but now they no longer existed!

Previously, keeping them served the purpose of giving cultivators a place to train themselves and acquire Spiritual Objects, but now that has been completely abolished.

The reason is very simple: it’s not cost-effective!

With the Spiritual Energy becoming denser, reclaiming all these lands for the cultivation of Spiritual Objects is far more rewarding than before.

As for the issue of cultivators lacking battle power due to the absence of training grounds, surely each force would have to find their own solutions.

There was no such concern for the Li family, as facing the vast East Sea gives them ample space for free and unrestrained training.

Moreover, internal family competitions also significantly enhance the clan members’ combat abilities.

“What a truly vibrant and flourishing scene!” Li Zhirui couldn’t help but exclaim as he observed the situation before him.

Since the Primal Spirit Realm evolved, it is conservatively estimated that the overall strength of the Immortal Tao increased by at least thirty percent!

Even though other factions may not have developed as well, they are likely not far behind.

Thus, as Li Zhirui traveled across the East Continent, he saw not only more cultivators but also ones with greater strength.

“Hah!”

Just as he was expressing his admiration, a disdainful chuckle suddenly came from beside him, followed by an indifferent voice, “What flourishing scene? This clearly looks like a precarious situation with flowers on brocade and boiling oil over a fierce fire!”

“Hmm?”

Li Zhirui looked towards the voice and saw an elderly man standing not far from him, deep wrinkles on his brow from long-standing frowns.

“What do you mean by that?”

On this journey, he concealed his strength, appearing to the old man as a fellow Human Immortal Cultivator.

“Haven’t you realized that over the years, the number of cultivators has almost doubled? And that’s just my rough estimate, it is likely even more in reality!”

The old man said with a serious expression, “The surge in cultivator numbers has been too rapid, far exceeding the growth of the Primal Spirit Realm. If this continues, do you know what will happen?”

Without waiting for Li Zhirui to respond, the old man continued, “Either a world war affecting all living beings will break out, or the entire world will reach its limit and explode completely!”

“Given these circumstances, do you still have the heart to admire the current scene?”

“Hahahaha…”

Hearing this long speech, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but burst into laughter, stopping only after a while, saying, “Aren’t you being overly worried?”

“You only see the vigorous development of cultivators but overlook that the Primal Spirit Realm is not a peaceful and safe world. On the contrary, it is very dangerous, with the possibility of brutal wars breaking out at any time.”

“When a war breaks out, how many beings will die? Not to mention the Heavenly Dao is powerful—if there were a risk of overthrow, how could the Heavenly Dao stand by and do nothing?”

“Besides, if the sky falls, those above will bear it. Who are we in terms of identity and status? Worrying so much is just asking for trouble, isn’t it?”

“Hmmph!” the old man snorted impatiently, “If everyone thinks like you, then the Primal Spirit Realm will indeed be beyond saving, slowly sinking into the Ruinous Void!”

Li Zhirui shook his head slightly. He didn’t quite agree with this but did not voice his thoughts.

It is worth noting that both men have weathered many storms, so how could either be swayed by a few opinions from the other?

The old man, seeing his silence, shifted his gaze, “What are you thinking?”

“Nothing,” Li Zhirui shook his head and asked, “What business brings you here, Fellow Daoist?”

“I am observing how many new cultivators have emerged in the East Continent over the years.” The old man replied curtly and then turned to leave, disinclined to linger on someone disinterested in this matter, feeling it was entirely a waste of his time.
