Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone-Chapter 856 - 668: Endless Abyss, the Four Royal Families

The silver-haired man narrated Xiao Yan's story, telling of Xiao Yan's tyrannical destruction of the Golden Lion Race.

Xiao Yan's actions severely threatened the stability of the Starfall Grotto Heaven.

Stability outweighs everything, especially for those major powers.

Those small clans, those Loose Cultivators, often love war, waging war here and there, using war to seize everything, using war to seize resources.

However, for the major powers, they extremely detest war and prefer to maintain relative stability. Stability is the only way to continually reap profits and ensure their realm stands for millennia.

But if a conflict were to break out, it would disrupt the stable situation, causing it to spiral out of control, affecting their ability to harvest resources.

The layout of the Starfall Grotto Heaven is one where the four Royal Families and twelve minor clans maintain stability with each other. Yet now, the Golden Lion Race, a minor clan, has been annihilated by Xiao Yan, indicating that the stable situation has been disrupted.

Although the Golden Lion Race was a minor clan, in truth, it was not small at all. It had an ancestor at the Peak of Void Refining, fifteen Refining Void Great Powers, thousands of Divinity Transformation Cultivators, and a Clan Protection Array that could even contend with a Harmonization Cultivator. If they were willing to pay the price, they could even kill a Harmonization Cultivator.

Among the twelve minor clans, the Golden Lion Race was ranked above average, with many minor clans not even being as strong as the Golden Lion Race.

Yet such a major clan was annihilated by "Xiao Yan" in one fell swoop.

This Xiao Yan is somewhat terrifying and can already threaten the four Royal Families.

"Ancestor, why don't we make a move and directly kill Xiao Yan?" the silver-haired man said, a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes: "In those years, our Silver Dragon Race did indeed strike against the Human Race. Many human ancestors died at the hands of our Silver Dragon Race. As for this extraterrestrial human, it's best to jointly surround and kill him!"

"Haha!"

The ancestor laughed and said, "You're still quite childish! We only annihilated the Human Race of the Starfall Grotto Heaven, not Xiao Yan's kin. The so-called revenge is more about the needs of interest. Furthermore, when we annihilated the Human Race back then, our Silver Dragon Race was not the main force, merely took advantage of the situation!"

"If there's targeting to be done, it should be aimed at a specific race, not us, the Silver Dragon Race! Why should our Silver Dragon Race oppose Xiao Yan? Winning would not yield many benefits, and losing would be even more disastrous. In those years, that ancestor created this Grotto Heaven. This Grotto Heaven holds the Immortal's inheritance, an immeasurable opportunity for us, but it is also a prison... Many gifted individuals leave for the Main World after achieving Harmonization.

The Main World has perfect Laws and abundant resources; only there is the supreme Cultivation Blessed Land."

"As for the Starfall Grotto Heaven, it's merely a cradle; ultimately, the gifted must leave. As for me, due to poor aptitude, I barely stepped into the Harmonization Realm and instead chose to remain! The world outside is vast; if one's aptitude is average, they should stay here. But if one's aptitude is strong, it's best to leave!"

The Starfall Grotto Heaven, though seemingly vast as it was opened by an Immortal, is too small for a motivated cultivator seeking further advancement.

To low-level cultivators, there is no need to be aware of these things.

But for some prodigies, it's better to know.

"If I'm not mistaken, he came here for some opportunities left by the Starfall Immortal..." The Silver Dragon Ancestor chuckled: "Such opportunities are extremely important to some prodigies. As for expanding territory and occupying here, it is rather insignificant."

Yin Kong curiously asked: "Ancestor, what Immortal opportunities exist within the Starfall Grotto Heaven?"

The Silver Dragon Ancestor smiled and said: "Back then, when the Starfall Ancestor opened the Grotto Heaven, it was according to the nine palaces and eight trigrams layout, establishing seventeen Secret Realms.

In these Secret Realms, some Treasures or hidden stashes were left behind. But over time, with ongoing wars, some of the Secret Realms have gradually been damaged... Now, less than five remain, with the largest being the Endless Abyss."

"Every so often, prodigies enter the Endless Abyss to seek the relics of the Starfall Ancestor. That Xiao Yan might also be one such person; he will not stay within this Secret Realm for too long, and after some time, he will leave!"

Seemingly having thought of something, the Silver Dragon Ancestor took out an invitation and handed it over.

"Send this invitation to him, inviting him to the Endless Star Depths!"

...

On the Golden Lion Plain, ruins spanned all around, shattered cities, scattered buildings, and fleeing cultivators, a landscape of devastation.

Only a few Golden Lion Race cultivators managed to escape.

On the plain, Lu Xuanji's footsteps flickered, slowly walking on the ground, his feet sensing the pulse of the earth; the Divine Soul whirring, adjusting to the frequency of heaven and earth, sensing the residual Laws within the Grotto Heaven, and attempting to enter the mysterious Unity of Heaven and Man.

As for occupying territories, establishing domains, and building forces, he was not interested.

With the whirring of the Divine Soul, Lu Xuanji gradually entered a state, the frequency of his Divine Soul aligning with the heavens and earth, sensing the transformation of the Grotto Heaven, sensing the Mysteries contained within the Grotto Heaven, and sensing the Laws contained within it.

His footsteps involuntarily paused, instinctively closing his eyes, his heartbeat weakening, his breathing slowing, the frequency of his body changing, resonating with the Grotto Heaven, seemingly on the verge of transforming into part of the Grotto Heaven, becoming its ruler.

Lu Xuanji's mind was in a trance, vaguely through the river of time, glimpsing scenes from the past.

Image after image appeared, as if watching a movie.
