Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2313: Pending Revision (Travel Today, Edit Tomorrow)

But the final result still wasn’t good news and failed to solve his own problems.

At this time, Elder Xuan could be said to have thoroughly understood various Dao paths, his talent was exceptional and his perseverance unmatched in ages!

This is why, when he first heard of the Tongtian Sect, he thought of that ancient sect which had vanished ten thousand years ago.

In this situation, he made a very bold decision, since he couldn’t find a solution in the legacies left by predecessors, he would create one himself!

However, during the process of setting up the formation, he unknowingly polluted the land, which was the Cloud Continent where Elder Xuan and others were located.

The reason for choosing the Cloud Continent was naturally because it was relatively remote but had decent spiritual energy, just suitable for him to set up the formation.

And why did other Profound Immortals take such a great risk to follow him?

Mainly because they wanted to improve their cultivation and realm, but faced some problems, making it difficult to break through smoothly. Unwilling to stop there, they had no other choice but to take the risk.

Moreover, Elder Xuan promised that if this method succeeded, the difficulty of breaking through to Golden Immortal in the future would not only be reduced, but they could also gain his insights and guidance!

Additionally, he made an oath to the Great Tao, so they weren’t worried he would break his promise, and thus they agreed.

Since they were merely nodes of the great array, they didn’t endure much of the evil and filth, nor did they suffer greatly, otherwise they would have fled at the start.

The Evil Spirit Reversal Array wasn’t too complex, but required a lot of filth and evil to fill it. Otherwise, even if it operated successfully, Elder Xuan’s condition wouldn’t significantly improve.

Then, in this process, they encountered a great calamity of heaven and earth.

At first, everyone was very happy, because with the calamity, the filth and evil they needed would erupt abundantly, making it easier for them to collect.

But soon, things became complicated!

For some reason, the Heavenly Dao actually intervened, and they became burdened with the enormous duty of resolving all the evil and filth in the Tao Spirit Realm!

If they succeeded, not only would the Heavenly Dao bestow abundant merit, but it would also open up the Heavenly Dao Origin to help them break through to Golden Immortal.

Because of this, the nearby high-level cultivators warned their disciples and juniors not to head to the Cloud Continent, to avoid disrupting the Heavenly Dao’s plan and incurring its rejection.

But that was all; they couldn’t possibly intervene to stop those low-level cultivators who wished to head to the Cloud Continent.

Moreover, if all tens of thousands of cultivators were truly killed off, then the Li family, Cave Abyss Sect, Baiyun Sect, and other forces would truly become dead enemies!

Although the relations between both sides had already dropped to a freezing point after the battle, there was still room for some reconciliation.

But if the Li family slaughtered this group of cultivators, the other side would definitely organize a cultivator army to attack the Li family, whether to comfort their disciples or to protect their own face!

This would definitely not bode well for the Li family, which had just experienced a great battle.

However, seeing the fierce and angry emotions of the elder and clan members…

The Clan Leader also knew that if he suggested releasing these cultivators, it would be like pouring oil on a fire, not only failing to appease everyone but intensifying their reaction.

Seeing him remain silent, everyone turned their gazes towards him.

Those gazes were filled with anger, focus, and a certain eerie calmness that instilled fear!

“Kill all the enemies whose hands are stained with the blood of our clansmen! As for the other cultivators, the forces behind them need to pay a corresponding price to redeem them!”

After a moment of contemplation, the Clan Leader eventually chose a compromise solution.

This approach could both appease the clansmen and prevent the family from becoming undying enemies with those Heavenly Immortal forces.

Yet even so, some clansmen were not satisfied with his plan.

Fortunately, many of the elders understood that this was the best solution.

“I think the Clan Leader’s proposal is excellent, it avenges our deceased clansmen without entangling the family in too much karma and karmic force.”

They didn’t mention leaving room for reconciliation with factions like the Cave Abyss Sect because such words would not only fail to earn the approval of the angry clansmen but would spark even greater fury!

With the support and earnest explanations from numerous elders, the clansmen gradually calmed down.

But this scene caused Jiang Fengwu, watching from the side, to slightly frown, indicating that the Clan Leader’s prestige and authority had noticeably declined.

It’s just unclear whether this had become customary in the Li family or if this unfamiliar Clan Leader’s gentle nature allowed the elders to take the opportunity to gain more power.

Regardless, she had no intention of intervening in this matter.

After all, Jiang Fengwu bore the surname ‘Jiang,’ not ‘Li’!

Before, when Li Zhirui was still in the family, there was a connection between her and the Li family, but that tie no longer existed.

Therefore, now, for the Li family, she was more like a guest elder with a close relationship rather than a clansman bound by blood ties.

So naturally, Jiang Fengwu wouldn’t get involved in such ‘family affairs’.

At most, out of consideration for Li Zhirui’s request, she would inform Qingxuan, Qingpeng, and others to think of ways to resolve the matter.

While contemplating these matters, the Clan Leader approached her, bowed and greeted, saying, “Elder Ancestor Jiang! Now, Elder Ancestor Qingxuan and others are in the depths of the starry sky, battling Heavenly Immortal cultivators. Please, assist them.”

“No wonder!”

A look of realization flashed across Jiang Fengwu’s face. No wonder she hadn’t seen the Heavenly Immortal cultivators from the family, she thought something might have happened. It turned out they were on another battlefield.

“I understand.”

Before the words were fully spoken, she transformed into a streak of Spirit Light and disappeared.

“With Elder Ancestor Jiang taking action, the battle will soon end!” said a certain elder confidently.

Not only him, but other clansmen also had immense confidence in Jiang Fengwu’s strength!

This confidence stemmed from the great array she had just set up.

A great array capable of entrapping tens of thousands of cultivators was a feat not achievable by ordinary cultivators.

Besides, aside from Qingxuan facing two opponents at once, the other Heavenly Immortals only had one opponent each.

Once Jiang Fengwu joined, the dynamics of the battlefield would instantly shift!

The outcome could soon be determined.

As expected!

In less than two hours, Qingxuan, Li Yunran, and other Heavenly Immortals returned to Mount Wanxian.

And during this time, after intense discussions, the Clan Leader and other elders reached a decision on the amount of ransom the various forces should pay to redeem the captured cultivators of different realms and cultivation levels.

Meanwhile, through the use of secret techniques, questioning of companions, and other methods, they confirmed which cultivators had stained their hands with Li family blood.

But there weren’t many of such cultivators!

Though the Li family’s casualties seemed numerous, numbering three to four thousand, this number wasn’t actually too large.

One must know this was a grand-scale battle with over a hundred thousand cultivators participating!

Yet the Li family only suffered ‘mere’ three to four thousand casualties, with injured clansmen accounting for sixty percent.

This means only about a thousand truly perished.

In normal circumstances and battles of this scale, such few casualties would be unheard of, almost like a fairy tale.

With few casualties and many cultivators already dead during the battle,

Hence, from the captives, the number of those who had stained their hands with Li family blood was not large, less than two thousand people.

And since the execution of cultivators was distributed to six forces, the number was even smaller, practically insignificant.

…

That said!

After hearing the Clan Leader and elders’ discussion on the ransom for cultivators of each realm, Qingxuan, Jiang Fengwu, and the other Heavenly Immortals had no objections.

“This approach is excellent,” Qingxuan nodded in agreement.
