Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1939: Chapter 1438: Departure (2)

At this point, Spirit Medicine Mountain became the first Immortal Dao Power destroyed by the Li family since their invasion of the Floating Light Realm!

But this is only the beginning; soon, countless other forces will surely follow in their footsteps.

After swiftly cleaning up the battlefield, Li Zhixuan once again led her clansmen and loose cultivators to the next location.

...

Another battlefield!

The clan members and loose cultivators led by Li Ming Yao were fiercely attacking a cultivation family at this very moment.

Their name was Qingjiu Liu Family; their strength was similar to that of Spirit Medicine Mountain. However, they were much more vigilant than Spirit Medicine Mountain, so as soon as the group entered their alert range, Liu Family Members spotted them, inevitably triggering an intense battle.

Unlike Li Zhixuan’s sharp and sinister style, Li Ming Yao’s methods were heavier, more solid, and grander. The Divine Powers he displayed could not be broken by anyone from the Liu Family, who could only try to weaken their strength as much as possible.

Yet it made little difference—they were forced to watch helplessly as a magnificent mountain descended from the heavens.

Screech——

The Defensive Array could not bear the tremendous burden; the Spirit Light grew dim, cracks constantly appeared, and the sounds of splintering echoed again and again.

It was obvious at a glance—the formation wouldn’t hold out much longer before being crushed by the mountain.

The Liu Family cultivators were terrified and panicked; they tried to stop it, but there was nothing they could do.

All they could do was watch as danger drew ever closer, until the formation was utterly obliterated!

Another half hour passed, and with a loud bang, the sound thundered across the land, and smoke and dust quickly started spreading.

The Liu Family’s Defensive Array was finally dealt with.

Without the protection of the formation, the Liu Family was thrown into peril. The pressure brought by Li Ming Yao was simply too overwhelming—especially his Divine Powers, which gave the sense of boundless, infinite strength, massive and solid, and even weakening them proved nearly impossible.

In such circumstances, the Liu Family’s Clan Leader and Elders began considering the same plan as Spirit Medicine Mountain: preserving a spark, ensuring the family was not completely destroyed.

But they had no safe escape route; so during the battle, they could only have some family members escape on the fastest Spirit Boat.

By this point, the situation meant the Liu Family was in extreme danger, about to be unable to withstand Li family’s fierce assault and face total annihilation.

Such was indeed the case—not long after, the last Liu Family member was killed by some loose cultivator!

”Hurry up and clean the battlefield, rest well, and head to the next force as soon as possible!” Li Ming Yao’s voice rang in everyone’s ears.

It was as if someone had pressed the acceleration button; everyone’s speed increased a lot.

”I didn’t expect the Li family to be so powerful—and so daring and cunning. We really got lucky this time, to meet such a force,” one loose cultivator said to his companion.

”Yeah, I originally thought the Li family would just use us as cannon fodder to die, but it wasn’t so. Instead, following them, we got our hands on some nice things.”

”If luck’s on our side along the way, maybe we’ll be able to gather a lot of cultivation resources.”

”Too bad, the road forward for our Cultivation Technique has already been cut off.”

...

Their conversation resonated with the other loose cultivators, who all joined in, chatting openly, and all their words were full of praise for the Li family.

Perhaps at first it was really just idle private talk, but with it spreading so much, it was clearly a deliberate performance for the Li family.

Li Ming Yao of course spotted the loose cultivators’ schemes, but he didn’t care—everyone has their plans, how could he stop them?

Still, even knowing it was intentional, his heart couldn’t help feeling pleased.

After spending some time collecting spoils, Li Ming Yao and his group once more set out for the next mountain gate attack.

Not long after, they arrived at the second force...

Just like Li Zhixuan’s side, the attack went fairly smoothly, without encountering any danger—but it seemed some had become aware, so they were no longer completely defenseless as before.

So it took a bit more time to wipe out the remaining four forces.

Likewise, quite a few Li family members and loose cultivators fell, but overall, the losses were small—especially compared to the gains, those losses were barely worth mentioning.

After completing their original mission targets, Li Zhixuan and Li Ming Yao did not immediately lead their clan away, but instead began splitting up into smaller teams to explore the area.

As for those loose cultivators? The Li family would leave them be—if they wanted to stay, they could stay; act freely, act freely; even leave Floating Light Realm—no problem.

Among them, some loose cultivators chose to return to the base camp, using the spatial rift to go back to the Primal Spirit Realm.

”What’s the situation?”

When they returned, the battle at the base camp had ended a long time ago; Li Zhirui, upon spotting them, immediately began asking about the situation at the frontlines.

”Reporting to Elder, the team I was with took down three forces and suffered minimal losses. According to that Sword Cultivator Elder’s instructions, we split into smaller teams—probably to scout the area.”

He was referring to Li Zhixuan.

Li Zhirui then asked the loose cultivators who returned from Li Ming Yao’s team, and their replies were much the same.

This made him let out a sigh of relief—not because he was afraid the plan would fail, but worried about casualties being too high; now it seemed he’d overthought.

As for the spiritual objects gained by these loose cultivators, the Li family did not demand they hand them over.

The original rule set by the Li family was to kill three Floating Light Realm cultivators of the same cultivation realm, but earlier, to boost their fighting power, they deliberately changed the requirement.

As long as they joined in the attack against six forces, they could leave with all the spiritual objects they harvested.

Of course, if they came in again next time, they’d have to start counting all over.

So most loose cultivators, even if they’d already acquired a lot of spiritual objects, didn’t chose to leave yet, planning instead to stockpile a few more cultivation resources for themselves.

Those leaving now, either thought what they’d gotten was enough for their cultivation ahead, or were cautious and careful, likely not to come in again.

The Li family actually hoped they could leave now—not because they’d taken resources from the clan, what were those resources anyway?

Rather, once they returned to the Primal Spirit Realm, they became the best witnesses, sure to attract more loose cultivators to come, helping the clan conquer Floating Light Realm faster.

”I expect the Clan Leader will seize this great opportunity, publicize these loose cultivators everywhere, and attract even more to join!”

Watching them leave through the spatial rift, Li Zhirui murmured to himself.
