Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1171: The Gap

The news of defeating a scattered immortal in three moves, almost killing him, spread like wings to countless cultivators’ ears.

If only a few people were talking about it, it might seem unreliable, but this time it was witnessed by dozens of cultivators, making it impossible to doubt.

For a moment, Li Zhirui’s fame spread all around.

Many forces, upon seeing the Li family fleet, directly closed their defensive arrays, standing honestly in mid-air to demonstrate their answer and sincerity.

In just half a day, the lost Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area was recovered, and in this process, actual attacks were rare, with the clansmen unharmed.

”Finally returned!”

Looking at the original site of the divided island chain, all clansmen felt a sense of nostalgia.

”Xiaoqing, Cang, this place is entrusted to you two for overseeing. In your free time, you can think about how to integrate this place into your divine domain.” Li Zhirui instructed.

The reason for this arrangement is firstly to make their path of cultivation smoother. As divine entities, expanding the area of their divine domain and holding more authority is the most orthodox and quickest cultivation method.

Secondly, if they become the Water God and Wind God of the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area, even if the Immortal Tao lost its nearby sea, the Li family could still extract a share of benefits through these two deities.

However, this is not easy!

Xiaoqing’s situation is favorable, as there is no Wind God, leaving no competition for him, but due to the extensive division of Water Gods by the Sea Clan, there is a Water God here.

Simply due to being born in the Sea Clan, this Water God feared plots against them by the Immortal Tao and fled to the distant sea for their life.

”We will guard this sea area well, ensuring it is never lost.” They promised earnestly.

”I believe in your abilities.”

Li Zhirui left behind a group of clansmen responsible for rebuilding the base, and once the temporary Great Array was successfully set up, he led other clansmen back to the clan territory.

After this battle, Li Zhirui secluded himself for deep cultivation, no longer appearing before the people.

Unless necessary, he actually preferred not to be in the limelight, as he believed that instead of gaining fame and attention, it was better to focus on secluded cultivation to gain more mana.

Yet despite this, Li Zhirui’s dazzling achievements couldn’t be erased and even seemed to grow more intense, eventually having an element of hidden flattery.

Meanwhile,

To hone her Dao Heart, Li Zhixuan, disguised as a chivalrous swordswoman, continued to travel across the red dust of the Daqian Dynasty.

Due to the oppressive Human Dao Law Net, the Daqian Dynasty greatly suppressed cultivators’ strength, even walking on country paths would leave them with six or seven-tenths suppressed.

Other people might not endure for long, having long been accustomed to the safety provided by mana abundance within them.

But Li Zhixuan was different; she also considered this as a way to hone herself, traveling across Daqian with only three or four-tenths of her power and her swordsmanship.

Even so, she made quite a name for herself, known as the Sword Saint in the martial world, with many people seeking her out to apprentice under her.

”Have you heard? The dynasty has already researched ways to unleash powerful strength even outside its borders!”

”Really?”

This significant piece of news drew much attention, not just from cultivators, but even mortals were keenly inquiring about it.

In a certain teahouse, upon hearing these words, a young man showed a trace of excitement on his face, thinking secretly: after years of lurking, finally there’s hope to complete the mission!

Upon learning this, Li Zhixuan immediately abandoned her previous plans and hurriedly went to the rumored auction of a Magical Treasure that could exert Human Dao power even outside the borders.

She wanted to witness it firsthand, examine its pros and cons, and see if it would influence the East Continent’s situation.

A few days later, the auction commenced lively, and due to the overwhelming number of attendees, various limitations were implemented.

Li Zhixuan, with her famous reputation, naturally entered smoothly, but even she had to sit in the crowded hall along with everyone, while the private rooms above were occupied by those with power, influence, and wealth.

”Everyone, take a look!”

The auction house seemed prepared for the crowd’s curiosity long ago, displaying a scene of a Confucian scholar outside the dynasty’s territory still able to cast powerful Confucian magic, easily killing demon cultivators.

Boom—

The scene that countless Human Dao cultivators dreamed of finally appeared today!

Previously, they had always been constrained by Human Dao Fortune and dynasty’s dragon energy, able to showcase their talents within their own territory with great power, but once outside these two blessings, their strength would plummet significantly.

That’s why numerous Human Dao cultivators had long awaited a solution, and after so many years, success seemed finally within reach!

Thus, the Human Dao cultivators present were extremely excited, as if facing a Holy Object, a fervent expression surfacing in their demeanor.

”You all must be aware of this Magical Treasure’s function, right! It allows Human Dao cultivators to leave the dynasty’s realm and still mobilize dragon energy and fortune to enhance their power, without much effort; once depleted, left in the outside world, it can slowly absorb surrounding energy to replenish.”

The auctioneer loudly proclaimed its various advantages, but intentionally omitted its shortcomings.

Soon, this Human Dao Magical Treasure was auctioned off at a colossal price!

No matter if the price was inflated, the bidding never ceased.

As for whether it had any downside, nobody cared anymore.
