Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1894: Chapter 1416: Development

Li Zhirui did not linger at the border crossing, only took a brief rest before employing his escape skill to fly to Kunlun State.

There lies the core region of the Immortal Tao, known as the ancestral land of the Immortal Tao, where all influential forces have branches and stations. He can connect with all major forces at once.

In fact, with the Li family’s current strength, they are qualified to establish a station, but the family has not done so yet, or perhaps they have not realized this point.

Li Zhirui only thought of this matter as he was going to Kunlun State this time.

”When I return to the family this time, it’s time to put this matter on the agenda.”

Kunlun State holds such a prestigious position in the Immortal Tao not only due to historical factors but also because of the rich Spiritual Energy, its critical location, and the push from various influential forces, which have created its current status.

Moreover, it is not only a major information exchange center and a large spiritual objects production center but also a trading hub for precious spiritual objects and methods.

It is no exaggeration to say that any spiritual object found in the Primal Spirit Realm can almost be found here!

If not here, it is hard to find elsewhere.

...

”Kundong City!”

After many years, Li Zhirui once again arrived in Kunlun State, and without much hesitation, he entered the small city.

However, this time he is not here for training but to bring news to the Immortal Tao that is uncertain whether it’s good or bad.

To avoid wasting time, he proceeded directly to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Kunlun State is different from other regions; the management of Immortal Cities and Marketplaces is no longer the most powerful local force, but rather the City Lord’s Mansion.

The reason for this approach is that there are too many foreign cultivators in Kunlun State, and they are generally strong, making it difficult for some local forces to suppress them.

Thus, gradually, it became a structure where powerful cultivators serve as city lords to oversee the area and prevent chaos.

As a Heavenly Immortal Cultivator, Li Zhirui still holds prestige in Kunlun State, especially in such a small city, so no one stops him, and some even inform the city lord proactively.

And the words he speaks are not seen as grandstanding tactics to draw attention, as a dignified Heavenly Immortal would not need to stoop so low.

Thus, even when he said that the future development of the Immortal Tao, along with the rising power of the Human Dao, poses a serious threat to the status of the Immortal Tao, the city lord quickly appeared.

A Late-stage Earth Immortal cultivator, yet residing in this small city.

”Does the senior have evidence for what he said?” The city lord politely asked after greeting.

Li Zhirui waved his hand and released the pair of foreign master and apprentice, saying, ”These two people are the evidence, having smuggled from the Outer World.”

”I know you can contact other city lords, so reach out to them quickly, don’t delay too long.”

He could certainly see the other’s inner hesitation and reluctance, but this matter is of great importance, and an Earth Immortal has no qualification to know so much insider information.

”Can the senior tell me what exactly happened?” The cultivator couldn’t help but ask curiously.

”Your cultivation is insufficient.” Li Zhirui glanced at him, swiftly and frankly giving the answer.

The city lord said no more, despite his inner curiosity, wondering how important the matter the elder wanted to discuss was, that even he could not know.

”Please wait a moment, senior.”

With that, the city lord went to use a method to contact other city lords, relaying Li Zhirui’s words, emphasizing that it was spoken by a Heavenly Immortal cultivator.

Initially, many city lords thought he was crazy, but upon knowing it was a Heavenly Immortal speaking, their attitudes changed quickly, becoming more serious.

After hearing that Li Zhirui had captured two foreign cultivators in this edge city, many were no longer able to sit still.

The sharp ones began to vaguely guess something, though most were still at a loss, not understanding what it meant.

”Quick! Go to Kundong City, there might be a great opportunity there!”

”Really?”

...

Such dialogues appeared in many Immortal Cities, attracting many cultivators with the thought that perhaps they could seize some opportunity if they were lucky.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, with the city lord’s help, had already conveyed the message to all major forces, now just needing to wait for them to arrive, then explain to them and reveal the methods to them.

In just two hours, a Heavenly Immortal arrived, but Li Zhirui did not see him, asking him to wait in the main hall until enough people were there.

He didn’t have the time to explain every time someone showed up.

The Heavenly Immortal was rather displeased, being another Heavenly Immortal, not to mention he barely wished to see him.

”If Fellow Daoist feels the waiting time is too long, you can go directly to the back room of the main hall; those two foreign cultivators are confined there, and you can directly obtain the methods from them.” Li Zhirui’s voice drifted over, immediately resolving his dissatisfaction.

”I shall not disturb Fellow Daoist’s rest.”

Before his words could finish, he turned and left without hesitation.

As Li Zhirui said, the back room of the main hall contained two cultivators.

”Just Tribulation-Transcending cultivators, yet able to create such a Secret Technique, and coming from a barren, backward Minor Thousand World, you two indeed have exceptional talent, what a pity.”

After a series of interrogations, he felt sorry for their fate, and regret over their origins, as if they hailed from the Primal Spirit Realm, there might be even greater achievements.

Of course, they might also live worse, as fate is unpredictable, after all, who can say for sure?

Gradually, more and more cultivators arrived at the edge city’s City Lord’s Mansion.

No one could remember the last time such a grand scene occurred, perhaps it had never happened in this small city.

The cultivators who arrived here have mostly been impatient, lacking the patience to wait, so most obtained their knowledge from the mouths of the master and apprentice.

They had repeated it so many times, they were parched, their eyes dull, yet their restriction remained unspecified.

When enough people arrived, Li Zhirui elegantly appeared before everyone.

”You Fellow Daoists have presumably obtained the Secret Technique and have some understanding. Some might think it’s fake, that traversing between two realms couldn’t be this easy, but the two you interacted with before are genuine foreign cultivators, and the methods were developed and refined by them.”

Li Zhirui continued, ”The reason I say the Human Dao will rise, changing the current structure of the Primal Spirit Realm, is because the Human Dao likely obtained this Secret Technique as well.”
