Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1835 - 1386: Pending Revision_2
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
"It is as I thought; our ancestors would never do anything to bring shame upon our lineage."
That individual gave a firm nod before continuing, "I can only imagine the sheer magnitude of a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert's power. If only I possessed the talent to ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Realm myself."
"Dedicate yourself fully to your cultivation. Perhaps in the distant future, you might actually achieve the rank of Heavenly Immortal. I only hope that when you reach those heights, you won’t look down on the rest of us."
"Hahaha! Should that day ever arrive, I will certainly extend my hand to support you all!"
The man laughed heartedly, his face full of joy, until his gaze caught a sudden ripple in the sky. It shimmered like the surface of a disturbed pond, as if another reality was beginning to bleed through.
"Look up! Look at the sky!"
He shouted while urgently striking the arm of the kinsman beside him. "Is that truly the Taixu Illusionary Realm?"
"It is! It matches the descriptions passed down by the family perfectly! Quick, we must alert the clan elders immediately!"
In truth, even without his cry, another member had already crushed a Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman to relay the intelligence.
Moments later, Li Liangxiang, who had been managing clan affairs in the main hall, bolted upright upon receiving the message. He instantly commanded the prepared strike teams to mobilize, carrying various spiritual objects designed to anchor and merge the Taixu Illusionary Realm.
"The moment has finally arrived!"
Da Qing, Xiaoqing, Cang, Li Mingyao, and the other Earth Immortals and Human Immortals of the family took flight. Their goal was to secure this Taixu Illusionary Realm with absolute speed.
If they acted with enough haste, the neighboring Cave Abyss Sect and the Sea Clan would likely remain oblivious until the realm had already been fully integrated into Shanhai State.
In a flash, thousands of streaks of multicolored spiritual light ascended toward the firmament of Tianming.
Such a massive mobilization did not escape the notice of spies from rival factions lurking in the shadows. However, because they dared not follow openly, they remained ignorant of the Li family's true objective.
"It seems the Li family is initiating another grand scheme!" a wandering cultivator remarked with a sigh.
They knew this was beyond their reach; their only responsibility was to report these movements back to their respective Sects or Families to fulfill their duties.
...
At another location.
Pushing their speed to the limit, the Li family cultivators reached the site of the Taixu Illusionary Realm in a mere fifteen minutes!
By the time they arrived, the Taixu Illusionary Realm had just begun its descent into the Primal Spirit Realm.
"Prioritize your own safety above all else. Once secure, establish the Traction Array and utilize the Lotus Seed Skill to accelerate the fusion between the Taixu Illusionary Realm and Shanhai State!" Da Qing gave these final instructions before they plunged inside.
This was, after all, a medium-scale Taixu Illusionary Realm capable of sustaining Immortal Realm power, while many of the clan members present were still only at the Mortal Realm stage.
"Understood!"
The fervent excitement of the Mortal Realm disciples cooled as they regained their focus.
Led by Da Qing and Xiaoqing, the group entered the Taixu Illusionary Realm in an orderly line.
Upon crossing the threshold, the immediate reaction of everyone was to grimace and cover their noses.
It was common knowledge that a Taixu Illusionary Realm was essentially a dying world. As its Heavenly Dao collapsed, it would be snared by a healthy world while falling toward the Ruinous Void, creating a unique state of existence during the transition.
The air was thick with the stench of decay, resentment, malevolent Qi, and other foul miasmas produced by a world in its death throes.
Having lived on Mount Wanxian for so long—a place of pristine air and pure spiritual energy—the Li family members found this sudden environmental shift difficult to endure.
Nevertheless, they stayed focused on their objective, suppressing their physical revulsion to begin the work of integrating this realm into Shanhai State.
Because the chaotic Space Power scattered them upon entry, the weaker members prioritized linking up with nearby allies while gathering any surviving spiritual plants or minerals they encountered.
Every world births unique resources. Though these spiritual objects might drop in rank when moved to the Primal Spirit Realm, their unique properties remained invaluable.
Furthermore, the grade of such items was not set in stone; through specialized cultivation or rare mutations, their quality could be restored or even improved.
Meanwhile, Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and the other powerhouses had little to fear. They carried the primary Traction Arrays and began the setup immediately upon landing.
They also carried specialized Positioning Treasures that signaled their location to nearby clan members, letting them know that powerful Elders were close by.
Those within range immediately began converging on their positions.
...
This specific Taixu Illusionary Realm was known as the Cloud Mist Realm.
In its prime, it had been a prosperous Middle Thousand World. However, tens of thousands of years ago, a shift in fortune allowed the Immortal Tao Sects to gain overwhelming dominance.
These sects eradicated the Demonic Tao, enslaved the Devil Race and Sea Clan, and eventually suppressed the great cultivation families until they held absolute sovereignty over the Cloud Mist Realm.
Yet, this total control became their undoing. With no external enemies to check their ambition, a massive civil war erupted within the Immortal Tao itself.
The various Sects waged endless wars to monopolize spiritual resources, expand their borders, and control the population.
Though some tried to mediate and halt the bloodshed, their efforts were in vain.
After eons of conflict, the hands of every Sect were soaked in the blood of their peers, and vengeance became a core tenet of their heritage. Stopping the cycle of violence was no longer a possibility.
Had it been war alone, the Cloud Mist Realm might have endured longer.
However, while the Immortal Tao Sects were busy tearing each other apart, the hidden remnants of the Devil Race, Sea Clan, and other oppressed races formed a secret alliance to strike a killing blow against the world itself.
They systematically destroyed the world's Spirit Veins, forced catastrophic volcanic eruptions, and sabotaged the vital Sea Eyes.
