Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1915: 1426: Pending Revision_2
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
Yet, the moment isn't suitable for delving into these issues. Furthermore, given their overwhelming might, how could these minor factions possibly challenge them? It's far wiser to stay silent and pay close attention.
Still, the Heavenly Immortal expert known as Li Zhirui shows remarkable generosity, freely sharing such a valuable Method without seeking any reward in exchange.
This mindset is genuinely praiseworthy. Naturally, numerous cultivators view him as naive for missing the chance to acquire some rare Spiritual Objects and Methods.
Yet they fail to grasp that obligations of gratitude represent the most valuable burdens, and also the toughest to settle, particularly when owed to mighty sects!
Upon hearing his ancestor's name brought up, Li Xiuyuan found himself momentarily frozen. Recalling the prior discussion, a deep sense of confusion washed over him regarding why his ancestor hadn't mentioned it after coming back.
That said, dispatching someone to inquire right now wouldn't be appropriate. He had no choice but to bottle up his uncertainties and intend to seek out Ancestor Rui post-meeting to get things straight.
In the meantime, the leading powers had already conferred and settled on a plan. To align with this Immortal Tao alliance, contributions of either personnel or Spiritual Objects would be required.
Once the Methods are fully developed, participants won't just receive the full versions, but they'll also join the collective venture into the Outer World.
Certainly, should any sect hesitate to offer contributions, they would be excluded from all future benefits and successes.
“Seniors, might I venture to inquire, this Secret Technique surely ranks as highly sophisticated and deep. How could we, as a simple Individual Immortal group, possibly contribute to it?”
No one in their right mind would turn down involvement, since it's clearly a tremendous boost for their growth. They could even spark several breakthroughs!
The issue lies in the sheer potency of this Secret Technique. What right do these lesser forces have to partake?
“Fret not over that.”
This response caught everyone off guard, leaving them baffled as to the reasoning behind it.
“The originator of this Secret Technique possessed only Mortal Realm cultivation. If they managed it, what stops you?” With that, the Great Ability swiftly cleared up all the bewilderment.
“What?!”
The cultivators unaware of the details were utterly stunned. Had it not come straight from him, they would have dismissed such a ridiculous claim outright!
“Very well! Should you have thoughts on this, reach out to these sects: Supreme Palace, Yuxu Palace, Biyou Palace, Cave Abyss Sect, Yin Yang Mountain, and Jiang Family of Pill Mountain…”
He rattled off more than a dozen elite Immortal Tao powers, spread throughout the East Continent, ensuring ease of access for plenty of smaller and mid-tier forces without arduous journeys.
These prominent groups can easily connect via the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array. The drain on Spiritual Energy for linking a handful of nodes remains fairly low.
Once these preparations concluded, the entities that had powered the array promptly ceased their Spiritual Energy input. Lacking further supply, the Formation would seal itself after a mere ten breaths.
Actually, every faction shut down the Formation ahead of schedule on their own.
With countless duties awaiting them, lingering on this would be a needless delay.
This massive stir within the Immortal Tao roused alarms in various other factions too. Notably, this occasion saw the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array run at full capacity for an entire quarter-hour!
It sparked intense curiosity about the Immortal Tao's next moves, prompting them to dispatch scouts for intel.
Right after exiting the Formation, Li Xiuyuan's initial action was to head to Li Zhirui and gauge his take on the situation.
Knock knock knock—
Li Zhirui, fresh from wrapping up his tasks, caught the chime at his door. He arched a brow and granted entry to the visitor.
“Greetings to Ancestor Rui!” After offering his respects with a bow, he voiced the salutation.
Li Zhirui helped him rise and inquired, “Clan Leader, what brings you here?”
“Ancestor Rui, moments ago, the top Immortal Tao forces ignited the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array, announcing the Secret Technique for crossing worlds. Word is an imperial dynasty has mastered it, so they're rallying the full might of Immortal Tao to make it happen.”
“Oh?”
Exactly as expected!
Li Zhirui couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Only when the blow lands personally do they feel the sting.
Regarding regrets coming too late, that's not the case. The Human Dao remains in its early stages and hasn't pulled far ahead, leaving room to close the gap.
“Ancestor Rui, having obtained this Secret Technique yourself, why hold back from telling us? Without those major forces stepping in this time, the clan might've stayed oblivious.”
It wasn't exactly an accusation, merely a touch of mild frustration.
“The clan's power is far too modest. I feared that tearing open a spatial rift might connect to another Great Thousand World beyond. Should Outer World beings spot the breach, the fallout for the clan and the Primal Spirit Realm could be catastrophic.”
This explained Li Zhirui's hesitation, though with the Immortal Tao now easing restrictions,
…
Time flew by in a flash, and before long, centuries had elapsed.
