Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2048 1493: Annexation

As the central protagonists of the Primordial Beast Realm, the Devil Race inherited a significant portion of the realmʼs luck and origin power.

When they suffered massive losses and casualties, this portion of luck and origin would naturally dissipate, and the Heavenly Dao would also become correspondingly weakened.

Such a situation gave the will of Heavenly Dao from other worlds the opportunity to invade and take advantage.

”Next, we can safely guide the Heavenly Dao in assimilating the Primordial Beast Realm, incorporating it into the Primal Spirit Realm and making it a vassal world.” Li Xianxun spoke as he took out various spiritual objects the family had prepared.

Once the Formation was set up, he had cultivators perform the Guiding Secret Technique, accelerating the projection of power from the Primal Spirit Realmʼs Heavenly Dao.

With a roar, the Heavenly Dao of the Primal Spirit Realm, pulled in by the secret method, crashed into the Primordial Beast Realm like a giant ship striking an iceberg, instantly producing a thunderous boom that shook the sky.

And since the source power of the Primordial Beast Realm was damaged and there was a grade difference between the two worlds, the Heavenly Dao of the Primal Spirit Realm easily annexed the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Beast Realm!

The speed was so swift it even exceeded the expectations of Li Xianxun and the others. They had originally thought it would take some time, but in the blink of an eye, the annexation was complete.

In an instant, all the Primal Spirit Realm cultivators who had been suppressed felt their chains fall away, their strength immediately restored.

This was especially true for Earth Immortal cultivators like Li Xianxun. Previously, his power was suppressed to less than a tenth of its capacity, leaving him feeling extremely stifled.

But now it was different; he could finally unleash his abilities without restraint.

As for those devil beasts still fleeing everywhere, hiding in the shadows and scheming to drive them out, they had now thoroughly lost all hope of turning the tables.

In fact, to protect them, the Li family promptly established rules, limiting loose cultivators so they would no longer hunt down, exterminate, or completely eradicate the devil beasts.

”Li, why are you keeping that group of hidden threats?” A certain loose cultivator, filled with doubt, specially sought out a Li family member he was friendly with to ask.

”Because the family plans to develop this outer world into a Spirit Realm that combines large-scale spiritual object cultivation with training grounds for clan members. In the future, it will serve as a place for Individual Immortals and Human Immortal clan members to train, while also supplying vast amounts of spiritual objects for the family.”

The Li family deliberately spread their intentions through the words of their own clan members.

The loose cultivators were filled with envy; they spent most of their time worrying about where to train, yet the Li family had already prepared suitable training grounds for members of all cultivation levels.

”What about the native humans of this realm, how do you plan to arrange for them?” another loose cultivator suddenly asked.

”If you want to properly develop the Primordial Beast Realm, arenʼt they the best candidates?” The Li family cultivator replied indifferently.

Though the two races looked nearly identical, they did not recognize the humans of this realm as being of their own clan.

He wasnʼt concerned about these words spreading, nor about how the natives would feel upon hearing them.

Because even if they harbored thoughts of resistance, given the overwhelming difference in power, those thoughts would remain suppressed in their hearts. If they dared bring them to light, their fate would be no better than when they were oppressed by the Devil Race.

Besides, the Li familyʼs reason for not slaughtering the devil race to extinction was precisely to keep them as a threat to the native humans of this realm.

Of course, considering both sidesʼ bodies and appearances were extremely similar, the Li family treated the local humans relatively well. They wouldnʼt enslave them excessively — only requiring them to open up Spirit Fields and plant spiritual objects sufficient for the familyʼs needs.

As opposed to the devil beasts, who might appear free on the surface but were actually treated as walking storage for spirit materials.

When not needed, they were ignored entirely, but once their spiritual materials were required, death was the only outcome!

”Now that matters here are settled, I, on behalf of the Li family, thank you all for your wholehearted assistance. Without your help, taking the Primordial Beast Realm so swiftly would have been impossible.” At the spatial rift, Li Xianxun conveyed the Li familyʼs sincerest gratitude to all the cultivators.

”Therefore, the clan has decided that all the spoils youʼve gained during this invasion are yours and do not need to be handed over!”

If the loose cultivators had little reaction to the previous words, this last announcement sent them into a frenzy.

”Senior, is what you say true? Youʼre not deceiving us, are you?” a certain loose cultivator mustered the courage to ask.

Li Xianxun was not annoyed. He simply smiled and replied, ”Of course itʼs true. If you donʼt believe me, surely you trust the Li familyʼs reputation?”

Oh!

The crowd was swept by a tsunami of joy, unable to contain their cheers that echoed far into the distance.

Watching this scene, Wan Qingxuan was deeply moved, and suddenly understood why his elders always praised the Li family so highly.

The reason the Li family was willing to give up such a substantial gain was, firstly, to win hearts — in future, whenever the family needed to summon loose cultivators, they would certainly be more enthusiastic to respond.

Secondly, compared to forcibly taking the spiritual objects that loose cultivators risked their lives to obtain, a gentler method was preferable.

After all, most loose cultivators were not skilled in cultivation techniques. The spiritual objects they acquired would most likely be sold to the Li family anyway.

In this way, the Li family not only gained tangible benefits, but also won over hearts and face.

As things turned out, it was just as the Li family expected. Once the loose cultivators returned to Shanhai State in the Primal Spirit Realm, they began spreading news of this event on their own initiative.
