Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2240 - 1589: Conflict

The merit was bestowed upon the Earth Element Lady by the Heavenly Dao and cannot be transferred for others to use. But as she was about to leave the Primal Spirit Realm, the merit was of no use to her either, so she simply took out a few Water-attribute Spiritual Objects, roughly refined them, and forged them into the embryo of a Merit Magical Artifact.

As for what Qingcang wanted to refine it into, that depended on his own plans.

”Thank you, Earth Element Lady, for gifting this treasure!”

Qingcang did not refuse it. After performing a salutation, he received the Merit Magical Artifact.

The Earth Element Lady simply smiled slightly and then proactively left the Primal Spirit Realm.

No one had any other thoughts to follow her; they all stood in place, watching her depart.

Even though the Earth Element Lady had severed the Reincarnation Origin Divine Position, her power decreased somewhat, but she was far from being as weak and vulnerable as Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo were initially.

At that time, lest anyone benefitted from the disaster and instead lost their own lives.

With the matter settled, everyone turned and left the starry sky.

There were some Heavenly Immortals who cast malicious glances at Qingcang, but considering there was another Heavenly Immortal beside him.

Moreover, since the other party was a Divine, making a move against him on the territory of the Divine Dao Heavenly Court would show a complete disregard for the Heavenly Court and the Divine Dao, which might provoke a joint attack by the gods. Therefore, they ultimately gave up on the idea of robbing the Merit Magical Artifact.

As for those Profound Immortal Great Abilities? They didn’t care about this Merit Magical Artifact at all.

”Let’s go too,” Qingpeng said.

”Okay.”

The two instantly transformed into spirit light and disappeared without a trace.

When they returned to the family, the first thing they did was repeatedly urge Li Yuanzhang to keep the secret and absolutely not reveal that the Earth Element Lady had been to the Li family.

Li Yuanzhang was not foolish; seeing the two Spirit Ancestors with such solemn and serious expressions, he knew this matter might be more serious than he had imagined and quickly made a promise.

”There’s one more thing, with the Earth Element Lady transcending and departing, the Divine Lineage of Earth God and Yin God lost this Lady, and henceforth can no longer maintain their detached position.”

”If the Lady had already made arrangements before, there might not be any trouble, but if not, the Divine Path might not be very peaceful in the coming times.”

Qingcang continued, ”It’s uncertain whether the scope of turmoil will further expand, so in the coming period, the family should remain as low-key as possible.”

Li Yuanzhang perceived the scent of warfare from these words, and with the family having only three Heavenly Immortals holding the fort, indeed they should stay low-key.

At the same time, they should also be well-prepared for active defense; if the Primal Spirit Realm indeed falls into war, the Li family could respond swiftly.

Having conveyed all these instructions, the two then returned to the Divine Domain and began secluded cultivation.

...

First came Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, the two Star Lords transcending, followed by the departure of the Earth Element Lady; within a mere hundred years, three Great Gods of the Divine Path severed their ties with the Primal Spirit Realm.

Instead, cultivators and demon cultivators, who were supposed to find it easier to transcend, did not witness such events over all these years.

In the eyes of many ignorant low-level beings, this proves the Divine Path to be more powerful and advanced than other cultivation paths.

Despite their strength having somewhat diminished, it stirred a yearning for the Divine Path among numerous low-level beings.

And this situation has caught the attention of many forces.

This is no trivial matter; if a significant number of low-level beings decide to invest in the Divine Path and join the Heavenly Court, their foundation will be destabilized.

Over time, the Divine Path will become increasingly powerful while they will grow weaker.

Therefore, they must find ways to tarnish the Divine Path’s image in the eyes of low-level beings, letting them know that the interior of the Divine Path is not as mighty and magnificent as they think.

Simultaneously, it’s best to devise plans that prevent the Divine Path from having the leisure to accept these low-level beings.

Many camps continued their search within the Divine Path, seeking suitable targets to act upon, and soon, the Earth God Lineage and Yin God Lineage caught their eye!

Without the protection of the Earth Element Lady and unwilling to join the Heavenly Court, they still aimed to dominate the earth and the Netherworld.

The Heavenly Court currently treats them relatively well, employing appeasement strategies, even offering overly preferential conditions, hoping to incorporate them into the Heavenly Court system.

After all, the strength of these two divine lineages is considerable, and with their inclusion, the power of the Heavenly Court would significantly strengthen.

Yet the proud Earth Gods and Yin Gods still wish to maintain a state of listening to orders but not accepting declarations, and directly drove away the gods sent to console them.

Originally, Ziwei retained some patience, intending to wait a little longer, but as his envoys were driven back, that patience was thoroughly exhausted, and he has had enough, no longer intending to use appeasement strategies.

Of course, some Earth Gods did not join the ranks resisting the Heavenly Court but instead allied with the Heavenly Court at the first opportunity.

Among them were all the Earth Gods of the Li family.

Qingpeng and Qingcang were initially born within the Heavenly Court as gods; although they later gained the Original Divine Position through their efforts, raising their status substantially.

They still reside honestly in the Heavenly Court, merely emulating certain gods to forge a duplicate, stationed in the Divine Palace of the Heavenly Court to collect intelligence and receive information.

Therefore, they are well aware of how powerful the Heavenly Court is!

At the moment of conflict eruption between the two sides, Li Mingyao bowed his head in allegiance to the Heavenly Court on behalf of a group of Earth Gods under him.

At that time, they were viewed by the Earth Gods and Yin Gods as traitors, unworthy of being Earth Gods, and even shouted to reclaim the divine positions of Li Mingyao and others.
