Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1419: Chapter 1178: Turmoil_2

Time flies, and it’s unclear how long has passed.

Li Zhirui’s disappearance didn’t catch anyone’s attention; the Cave Mansion he rented was taken back the day after the lease expired.

He has now transformed into a giant cocoon of light!

This was specially constructed by Li Zhirui using the Purification Principle and Spiritual Energy, creating a better healing environment for himself after regaining a trace of power.

Indeed!

By now, several years have passed since the battle that nearly claimed his life, yet Li Zhirui’s injuries remain severe.

One must know that, back then, besides his foundation remaining intact, he was severely injured everywhere else; it might take decades of rest to fully recover.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui doesn’t need to worry about lifespan now, so spending decades healing is no big deal.

And before regaining enough power to protect himself, he doesn’t plan to leave the space, considering he entered the perilous territory of Demonic Tao, where encountering a Demon Cultivator might force him back into the space with unnecessary trouble.

The only thing worth celebrating is that he has broken through the bottleneck, paving a smooth path towards the Realm of Human Immortality!

Though this is a Late-stage Independent Immortal bottleneck, it typically doesn’t appear consecutively.

Moreover, Li Zhirui possesses the Yellow Millet Awakening Pillow; once he consolidates his Late-stage Independent Immortal realm, he can attempt the fastest advancement to the Realm of Human Immortality.

This time, he doesn’t plan to make the breakthrough at Mount Wanxian, but rather find an Immortal City of a grand Immortal Tao sect, spending some Spirit Stones to have them protect him.

The reason for such trouble is that the Cave Abyss Sect watches the Li family too closely; should Li Zhirui break through to Human Immortal, no one knows if they might sabotage or later send stronger cultivators to attack the Li family.

Therefore, he thinks of hiding his cultivation level, possibly giving the Cave Abyss Sect a huge surprise!

Let us speak of each issue separately.

East Continent is now a battlefield full of smoke and fire.

The cause of such a state is still those Demon Cultivators stirring up trouble in the background, and their researched Emperor-cutting Skill has now spread throughout all sizes of Immortal Tao influences in East Continent.

Many cultivators with grudges against the Human Dao Dynasty only made simple preparations before rushing in resolutely.

Their end was predictably tragic.

But it was they who, with their blood and lives, ignited the entire Immortal Tao’s dissatisfaction toward those Human Dao dynasties.

An old dynasty like Daqian Dynasty might stand firm in this turmoil, but most dynasties don’t have such powerful strength to withstand a massive assault by cultivators.

So, in a short time, some territories occupied by the Human Dao dynasty reverted to Immortal Tao’s control.

This greatly alarmed the Daqian Dynasty; although they exist now, they no longer have the upper hand in battles with cultivators!

If the advantage is lost and the Human Dao Law Net loses its suppressive effect, the Daqian Dynasty could hardly be a match for the Immortal Tao.

”Have you still not found out what that strange black smoke is?” The emperor asked, face dark.

”Your Majesty, we have found out; it was deliberately spread from Demon Cultivators’ hands a few years ago, specifically targeting us with a Secret Technique.”

A certain minister stepped forward to report, ”And the content of the Secret Technique is about making objects that disable the Human Dao Law Net. They are special Spiritual Objects refined from the resentment and thoughts of the people.”

”What?”

The crowd was shocked to hear that the spiritual objects that caused them such a loss actually came from the common people!

The minister ignored the commotion in the hall and continued, ”Your Majesty, I propose a thorough investigation of corrupt officials, reduce taxes for the people so that they no longer resent the dynasty, and also expel all cultivators from the territory, denying them the chance to gather the power of resentment.”

”Approved!”

Though this series of recommendations will hurt many people’s interests and are quite challenging, for the perpetual legacy of the Daqian Dynasty, they must be carried out.

”Moreover, this matter should be widely announced so that other existing dynasties know about it to prevent them from being overturned by Immortal Tao as well,” the emperor added.

If there remained only the Daqian Dynasty as the sole Human Dao Dynasty on the East Continent, the Immortal Tao would certainly target them, and that would not be good for them.

”Yes!”

The Daqian Dynasty’s expulsion of cultivators affected Li Zhixuan, who was still undergoing training.

She knew that the Daqian was unstable during this period and would undoubtedly plan to resolve it, but didn’t expect it to be done in this way.

However, Li Zhixuan didn’t resist because she knew that taking action against the authorities within the dynasty would only put herself in danger.

Moreover, after tempering her Dao Heart in the mortal world for so many years, it was time to leave.

”Where should I go next?”

Li Zhixuan was momentarily confused because, as far as she knew, other places on the East Continent were relatively peaceful except for the battle with the Human Dao Dynasty.

After contemplating for a while without finding a good destination, she decided to look around and decide later.

As she wandered around, Li Zhixuan suddenly heard about the Sea Clan assembling an army in an attempt to reclaim the coast, prompting her to immediately decide to return to her family as quickly as possible.NovelFire

...

”Damn Water Devil! Why attack now out of all times?” A certain Elder from the Cave Abyss Sect cursed angrily.

He was so upset because they had already captured many territories of the Great Zhou Dynasty and it was a perfect time to advance triumphantly and eliminate them.

As a result, the Sea Clan began attacking the coastal areas, forcing them to abandon eliminating the Great Zhou Dynasty and concentrate their efforts on the more important and formidable Water Devils.

But the Cave Abyss Sect didn’t know that they had missed the best opportunity to eliminate the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Shortly after their departure, the message relayed by the Daqian Dynasty externally reached the Wan Family State, informing a host of ministers about their retreat reasons and solutions.

”Taking advantage of the battle between the Cave Abyss Sect and the Sea Clan, we must complete this series of reforms, or else when they turn back, we will be in danger!”

Seeing no response in the hall, the Prime Minister said coldly with a grim face, ”Now is not the time for personal interests of a family or a household; do you all not realize what will happen to your families after the dynasty’s downfall?”

”What the Prime Minister said is very true. Our Xiao Family fully supports!”

”The Liu Family as well!”

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly expressed their intentions.

Soon, various reform measures were implemented, greatly improving the local people’s lives, making them trust and feel proud of the Great Zhou Dynasty more.

Meanwhile, the swiftly rushing Li Zhixuan, after half a year’s travel, finally returned to Mount Wanxian.

Even though she was already in the Late-stage Independent Immortal stage, she was now utterly exhausted.

Holding the fort at Mount Wanxian was Li Mingyao, who immediately emerged to greet her, saying, ”Ancestor Xuan, are you alright?”

”No problem, it’s just that I consumed too much trying to rush back to the family to help against the Sea Clan as soon as possible.”

Hearing her purpose, Li Mingyao felt deeply moved inside; he could imagine what Li Zhixuan had done to hurry back to the family.

”Ancestor Xuan, please rest for a day first, then head to the frontline after recovering. According to the current information, the family hasn’t suffered on the battlefield.”

”Okay.”

Given the information, Li Zhixuan didn’t need to rush.

Meanwhile, she also learned that Li Zhirui wasn’t with the family, allowing Li Zhixuan to secretly sigh in relief, glad she arrived in time; otherwise, the family would have no Late-stage Independent Immortal.

A silent night, and early the next morning, she headed straight to the battlefield.

The six hundred li of sea territory occupied by the family was located behind the battlefield, but most family members were sent to the frontline to resist the Sea Clan.NovelFire

”Zhixuan? Why have you returned?”

Jiang Fengwu was pleasantly surprised to see Li Zhixuan suddenly appear before her, and noticing her cultivation had broken through again in the next instant, she said, ”It seems your years outside have yielded much, just in time as the family urgently needs someone as powerful as you to hold the fort.”
