Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1931 - 1434: Pending Cultivation (2)
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
This method defies the traditional path of cultivation, yet she finds herself compelled to follow this route regardless.
The reply deviated sharply from the expectations of Li Xiuyuan and the elders, leaving him briefly stunned. After a short hesitation, he responded, "Naturally, additional time would be ideal."
With Li Zhixuan showing no rush herself, they could opt for a strategy that curtails losses to claim the Floating Light Realm.
"I'll consult the elders right away and devise a solid strategy without delay."
He arrived swiftly and departed just as fast, vanishing from view in moments.
"Jiu, Mingyao, I require your support on this issue."
Once Li Xiuyuan had gone, Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan, and Li Mingyao picked up their earlier discussion.
Truth be told, it wasn't a big ask; she simply sought their aid in breaching the Floating Light Realm. After all, handling it solo would prove overwhelmingly burdensome.
Besides, the inhabitants of the Floating Light Realm aren't dimwitted. Should they sense their world's impending doom, they'll undoubtedly unite past grudges to combat these intruders.
Though it's only a Middle Thousand World capped at Perfect Human Immortal level, outsiders like them would face heavy suppression of their power upon entry.
Therefore, the power balance between the factions remains close, and the Floating Light Realm's denizens could even hold an edge!
"I'm willing, though I'll focus on securing the outpost rather than launching assaults," Li Zhirui stated openly.
He too pursued cultivation, yearning to break beyond the Primal Spirit Realm. For minor issues facing Li Zhixuan, he'd gladly assist, but world conquests—draining in time and energy—were not something he'd commit to endlessly.
Furthermore, his pact centered on his own advancement. While stationed at the base, Li Zhirui intended to study the Floating Light Realm's Purification Principle to deepen his command over the Laws.
As the proverb states, "Stones from other hills can sharpen jade!"
Despite being merely a Middle Thousand World whose Laws pale against a Great Thousand World's, it boasts distinctive traits that Li Zhirui aims to absorb.
"Ancestor Xuan, you're aware of my circumstances; I can't linger far from the Divine Domain for extended periods. Yet wherever my aid is required, I'll provide it without fail!" Li Mingyao declared, befitting his position.
Li Zhixuan, listening to their replies, breathed a sigh of ease. She sought only modest support; this sufficed!
"That's plenty; I appreciate Jiu and Mingyao ahead of time."
"No need for such politeness; it's overly stiff."
Li Zhirui dismissed it with a wave, adding, "Get ready, and we'll head out. Summon us via Communication Talisman when the time comes."
"Alright."
They rose and departed. Beyond the courtyard, Li Mingyao inquired through transmission with curiosity, "Ancestor Rui, will Ancestor Xuan truly achieve transcendence by offering up the Floating Light Realm?"
"Countless powers have attempted transcendence from the Primal Spirit Realm, yet success eludes them all! No records or tales speak of it."
Something about it always struck him as overly straightforward.
Indeed, were this technique viable, premier Immortal Tao sects would have employed it long ago, but none are known to have ascended.
At this, Li Mingyao fell quiet briefly before Li Zhirui continued, "Best not dwell on it further. Should it fall short, Zhixuan will find another way."
Speculating now feels premature. Besides, if challenges arise post-sacrifice of a Middle Thousand World with lingering karma, alternative paths can be explored then.
Still, equating Li Zhixuan's case to those mighty sects and deeming the sacrificial art ineffective overlooks the variances in their plights.
Those ancient Heavenly Immortals, enduring through endless epochs and devouring vast mana, inevitably amass karma that's tougher to offset.
Li Zhixuan, however, remains youthful, having drawn in far less Spiritual Energy, potentially allowing her to purge her karma via this offering.
En route to their individual Cave Mansions, Li Zhirui and Li Mingyao bid each other farewell.
...
In another place, upon his return to the family hall, Li Xiuyuan promptly relayed Li Zhixuan's message to the assembly.
Objections ceased entirely now.
The span of two thousand years allowed the clan ample opportunity to seize the Floating Light Realm while keeping member losses to a minimum.
Their immediate task involves crafting a sharper, casualty-sparing scheme for the clan's upcoming efforts.
"Flowers bloom in two branches; each expresses one."
Deep in the starry expanse, inside the Yin Yang Divine Domain...
"Big brother, the family earlier transmitted word that Aunt Zhixuan..."
