Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 1445 - 1191: Tacit Approval (2)
But now that Li Zhirui has spoken, Li Xinde and the others naturally need to find a way to perfect it, and then formulate clan rules that every clansman must adhere to.
"Rest assured, Ancestor Rui, we will do our best." Li Xinde quickly promised.
"No need to rush, take your time and perfect it as much as possible."
"Understood."
Li Zhirui nodded and then took out some spirit fruits, smiling: "This is an opportunity I found in the Secret Realm, called the Two Forms Bright and Dark Spirit Root, which can accelerate the perfection of the Yin Yang laws of the Minor Thousand World."
"Refine them, and then give me the spirit seeds. I will help you cultivate them into seedlings before planting them into the Minor Thousand World or Cave Heaven, as they will have a better chance of survival."
The crowd was delighted to receive the spirit fruits, as it was a great thing for their ’Dao Fruit.’
As for cultivating the seedlings, they all knew that Li Zhirui was not only an Alchemy Master but also a highly skilled Spirit Plant Master.
"Thank you, Jiu/Aunt Fengwu!" Everyone expressed their gratitude.
Li Zhirui waved his hand casually, saying: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."
He planned to meditate for a while, settle some trivial matters, and then leave Mount Wanxian to cultivate while going into seclusion to transcend the tribulation, aiming to break through Human Immortal.
Unless there were any unexpected events, he did not plan to return until he broke through to Human Immortal, as this would be a huge surprise for the Cave Abyss Sect! It couldn’t be easily revealed.
By saying some time, but when Li Zhirui immersed himself in cultivation and opened his eyes again, half a year had already passed.
That day, he packed up briefly, informed Jiang Fengwu, Da Qing, and the others, and left Mount Wanxian the next morning.
"Aunt Fengwu, why don’t you go out and experience the world?" Da Qing asked curiously.
If it was Xiaoqing and Cang, they were already Divine now, with responsibilities on their shoulders, and still involved in seizing and absorbing new Divine Domains, making it impossible for them to leave.
As for himself, he was naturally inclined to remain indoors, and even when he encountered a bottleneck, he could wear it down with time. As a spirit turtle in the Individual Immortal Realm, he had an unknown lifespan and didn’t care much about time.
Moreover, as a Spirit Beast, Da Qing couldn’t venture out alone.
But Jiang Fengwu was different; she didn’t have such concerns.
"The clan needs someone to guard it."
Da Qing frowned, shook his head, and advised: "Even if you’re absent, the clan will be fine. You haven’t ventured out for many years to temper your Dao Heart."
They were concerned that Jiang Fengwu might encounter problems with her Dao Heart if this continued.
"Rest assured, my Dao Heart is as solid as a rock, indestructible, and will not have any problems." Jiang Fengwu shook her head, firmly declining the suggestion to go out and train.
"Fine, since you don’t wish to, we cannot force you." Seeing this, Da Qing had to give up, thinking to himself that it’s no wonder Jiu didn’t mention this matter—it turns out Jiang Fengwu’s Dao Heart wasn’t an issue.
"Elders, the great war between the Cave Abyss Sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty has finally ended!"
Just then, Clan Leader Li Xinde ran over excitedly, announcing: "Neither side secured a decisive victory, both suffering significant losses, retreating into seclusion and not daring to show themselves again."
"Oh? It finally ended!"
No one expected that the death of a certain second-generation ancestor would lead to such a prolonged conflict between two major forces, with countless cultivators and nationals suffering casualties.
Certainly, there might be other reasons as well.
"Yes, both sides are now withdrawn, licking their wounds."
After thinking for a while, Li Xinde added: "However, if we must declare a victor in this battle, it would be the Great Zhou Dynasty’s tragic victory, obtaining a hundred-mile territory from the Cave Abyss Sect."
"What?!"
With this statement, everyone present was astonished.
The fact that the Great Zhou Dynasty could even engage the Cave Abyss Sect back and forth was already surprising, let alone the current situation.
Although it was a tragic victory, there’s at least a "win" in the outcome!
"The speed of the Human Dao Dynasty’s development is indeed too fast; no wonder Jiu didn’t let us establish a dynasty. If we had done so, who would lead the secular clansmen, us or them?" Da Qing remarked.
Back then, Li Zhirui had considered establishing a Human Dao Dynasty during the Daqian Dynasty, allowing secular clansmen to protect themselves and reducing the pressure on the family.
However, in the end, considering the proximity of both forces, the area of Shanhai State couldn’t accommodate two powers, and most importantly, he discovered that the conflict between the Immortal Tao and Human Dao was too great, so he ultimately abandoned the idea.
Now, it turns out it’s fortunate that Li Zhirui didn’t carry it out; otherwise, who knows what fate would have befallen them.
"It’s a pity, the family’s strength is still slightly lacking, otherwise, we should have seized the opportunity to reclaim some interest from the Cave Abyss Sect while they were wounded." Xiaoqing felt somewhat regretful.
Though both sides haven’t completely fallen out yet, they both know some small actions were done by the other, and naturally, they would feel glad seeing their rival in misfortune.
"Better not think too much; it’s still about accumulating strength now, and reclaiming lost things all at once when the time comes."
Afterwards, everyone delved into understanding the details of the battle, feeling increasingly amazed by the Human Dao Dynasty’s terror, grateful that there was no Human Dao Dynasty near the Li family, or else they would also feel uneasy.
"Wasn’t there a method researched before to suppress the dragon energy and Human Dao fortune? Isn’t it effective now?"
"It’s merely some grievances of the commoners, yet the Human Dao Dynasty is not idle, and they quickly figured out solutions."
"Alright! This matter has nothing to do with us, let’s not continue the discussion and go back."
...
As for Li Zhirui, who had already left Mount Wanxian, this time he had a precise destination, which was the Central State Region of the East Continent he once visited—Kunlun State!
The main reason for choosing this place was the abundance of spiritual energy, and the relatively cheaper cost of seclusion in the Cave Mansions.
Moreover, being far from the east of the Eastern Continent, as long as he took some cover, he wouldn’t worry about his identity being exposed.
He had chosen the location, but the journey was long, and it was uncertain how long it would take to reach there.
Despite Li Zhirui having increased the speed of the Spirit Boat considerably, it still took one to two months to reach the destination.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t require so much time.
However, he was curious about how far the Daqian Dynasty had advanced, so he took a slight detour and stayed in the dynasty for a few days to study it.
The current Daqian Dynasty was completely different from what Li Zhirui had seen before hundreds of years ago; its fortune thrived vigorously, burning brightly like a fire over oil, with its dragon energy having transformed into a seven-clawed golden dragon.
It’s likely that the Daqian Dynasty will continue to flourish for a long time.
As for how long, Li Zhirui wasn’t very sure, as he wasn’t skilled in divination and only knew a little about it.
Of course, even if a series of tyrant emperors appeared one after another, a Daqian Dynasty with such vigorous fortune would eventually crumble under storms and stress.
Moreover, Li Zhirui didn’t even plan to enter the imperial capital, not due to a lack of desire, but because he simply couldn’t enter.
It was said that whenever grand ceremonies and rituals were held, the cultivators hidden within the imperial capital would scrutinize everyone passing through.
These beings didn’t want to cause trouble within the imperial capital, and given their abilities, they probably couldn’t create any incidents anyway. Their main focus was to research some methods.
According to one mortal realm demon cultivator, they were trying to develop a magical treasure that could shield them from Human Dao Fortune and dragon energy, to prevent discomfort.
The Daqian Dynasty was also aware of these beings studying methods, and knew they couldn’t be underestimated, quickly coming up with ways to counter them.
"Alright! This matter does not concern us, so let’s not discuss it any further. Let’s all return."
