Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1808 - 1373: To Be Revised
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
After a brief conversation with the group, Shen retreated to the Star Cave Heaven to stabilize his newly attained realm, while the rest of the assembly went their separate ways.
However, the ripples caused by his breakthrough into the Heavenly Immortal realm continued to expand.
“I never truly expected him to forge a brand-new path of cultivation. The benefits of the Earth Immortal Dao are strikingly evident; it is perfectly suited for the growth of smaller Clans or Sects.”
Once Shen reached the Heavenly Immortal stage and secured the Fruit Position of the Earth Immortal Ancestor, many other Heavenly Immortals were shaken. They retrieved the Jade Slips containing the Earth Immortal Dao Methods—which Shen had distributed widely in the past—and began to study them with newfound gravity.
It must be noted that previously, they hadn't given these methods a single glance!
From their elevated perspective, deciphering the profound mysteries within the techniques was a simple task.
“Beginning as a humble Blessed Land, it can effectively cultivate Spiritual Objects before eventually evolving into its own domain—a superior Spirit Field Cave Heaven. But its utility doesn't end there. If one chooses not to focus on farming, they can harness the Cave Heaven Power within a specific radius to bolster their combat strength.”
“The flaw, however, is that the Cave Heaven is tethered to a single spot and cannot be moved, as it is bound to the Spirit Vein. Should the Cave Heaven be destroyed, the cultivator will perish alongside it, leaving nothing behind.”
The Earth Immortal Dao Methods are deemed ideal for minor factions because the Cave Heaven can be inherited across generations. Even if the predecessors lack talent, the Cave Heaven could accumulate the power of a Human Immortal after ten or a hundred generations of refinement!
Nevertheless, the Heavenly Immortals were far more intrigued by how Shen and his peers had merged the Cave Heaven with the Stars. This Secret Technique is undoubtedly a pivotal legacy within the Earth Immortal Dao Methods.
Simultaneously, they took note of the lineage of Shen and his companions. Most originated from the Demon Spirit Clan and maintained an incredibly tight bond with the Li family!
“This Li family is truly extraordinary!”
One Heavenly Immortal couldn't help but remark, “They were once an obscure, minor family, yet they have produced a Heavenly Immortal Alchemy Master, a Sun God, a Moon God, and now an Earth Immortal Ancestor.”
Even setting aside the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the family possessed several brilliant and exceptional members at the Earth Immortal and Human Immortal levels, such as Li Zhixuan, Jiang Fengwu, and Li Mingyao.
Furthermore, the Li family occupied a prime geographical location. They had cultivated strong ties with the Cave Abyss Sect to the south; the Changli Mountain Range protected them to the north, where they had established connections with the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance; and in the east, the Sea Clan had vowed never to invade the Li family’s territory following the previous Sea Eye catastrophe.
Being situated far from the Devil Race and the Demonic Tao, their growth remained largely undisturbed.
Consequently, many Heavenly Immortals sighed with respect, “Provided no disasters occur, the Li family is destined to rise as a premier power in the Immortal Tao, and this ascent will be anything but slow!”
Strangely, these private musings among a few Heavenly Immortals leaked out, spreading to the ears of countless cultivators with incredible speed.
“Is the Li family truly as formidable as they claim? A future top-tier power? The people saying this must be blind or senile, surely?”
“Perhaps the Li family bribed them to spout such shameless flattery.”
“Exactly! They only have two Heavenly Immortals who appeared by luck. They can't even be mentioned in the same breath as established Heavenly Immortal powers like the Nine Lights Sect or the Yunxia Sect. Those sects have never made such boasts, yet this upstart Heavenly Immortal family acts so arrogant.”
Once those rumors circulated, the majority of cultivators viewed the Li family with disdain. This was especially true for factions stronger than the Li family, who began to harbor resentment.
They thought that if they crossed paths with Li family members, they would surely give them a brutal lesson to show them the price of being so high-profile!
...
Meanwhile.
Despite the accolades from various Heavenly Immortals, the Li family did not grow arrogant due to Shen’s breakthrough or the fact that they now boasted two Heavenly Immortals. On the contrary, they became even more reserved.
Clan Leader Li Liangxiang remained clear-headed and composed. Although the Li family was currently the center of attention and praised by the world, he knew these were merely traps designed to cause their fall!
Judging by the rumors floating around, it was obvious that people were trying to incite conflict between the family and the ancient Heavenly Immortal forces.
Furthermore, as the leader, who would know the true strength of the Li family better than him?
Granted, some clan members were swayed, believing the Li family had already reached the peak, though they weren't so delusional as to think the family was invincible.
To minimize pointless friction and trouble, Li Liangxiang commanded all family members to maintain a low profile and avoid bringing danger upon themselves or the clan.
“Great Elder, isn't this being a bit too cautious?” Li Liangxiang asked with a frown, though he secretly felt this behavior was overly timid and weak!
However, because such words were disrespectful, he kept them to himself.
Many Elders nodded their heads in agreement.
The issue was that the Great Elder wanted members leaving for external training to conceal their identities and never reveal their connection to the Li family.
In the past, when the family was weak, they could understand using such tactics to avoid total annihilation.
But now that the family was powerful, such practices had long been discarded. There was no reason to revive such outdated rules now!
“This decision isn't for the sake of the family's reputation, but for the personal safety of our members and the younger generation.”
The Great Elder shared some of the hostile remarks made by disciples of the established Heavenly Immortal sects, allowing everyone to see the reasoning behind his choice.
“I still believe this is unnecessary!”
