Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1934 - 1436: The Battle Begins
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
"Is the rumor circulating from the Li family actually true? Would they truly permit us loose cultivators to step into the Outer World?" one loose cultivator questioned in disbelief.
Not only him, but the rest of the loose cultivators also harbored deep doubts.
The World Traveling Technique had been inherited across generations, yet chances for loose cultivators to gain entry remained rare; solely those who had previously banded into alliances qualified for such access.
Furthermore, tales kept emerging of these loose cultivators achieving remarkable breakthroughs in their cultivation, stirring envy and resentment among those barred from the Outer World.
Under these conditions, a number of bold loose cultivators gathered their resolve and headed toward Mount Wanxian.
"What purpose brings you all here at once?" Even before they drew near, vigilant clan guards on spirit beasts spotted them and swooped down to inquire.
"Is it accurate that your family intends to permit loose cultivators entry into the Outer World?"
The guards had received prior instructions: upon meeting proactive loose cultivators with questions, they should share the details accordingly.
"Indeed, though the space rift isn't located on Mount Wanxian—it's five hundred miles northeast at the Qingquan Peak outpost. Should you wish to join, head there to register and obtain your pass for the Outer World."
The handful of loose cultivators displayed shocked delight on their faces, offering repeated gratitude before dashing off excitedly toward Qingquan Peak.
At the same time, they activated Communication Talismans to summon close fellow daoists, intending to venture into the Outer World as a united front.
After all, the Outer World brimmed with perils, and banding together offered a modest boost to their odds of enduring it.
Loose cultivators dispersed throughout Shanhai State, receiving messages via Communication Talismans from companions, wasted little time and soared toward Qingquan Peak.
This could prove their pivotal chance to alter destinies—settling for a mundane existence or gambling for greater prospects?
Overwhelmingly, loose cultivators opted for the daring path!
Every cultivator treading this road yearns to elevate their cultivation and realm, symbols of not just might but also esteem from peers and extended years of life!
Upon reaching Qingquan Peak, the initial group summoned their allies, swelling their numbers to more than a hundred, with most hovering at the Individual Immortal Realm in cultivation.
Though their realms weren't lofty, this stood as the typical ceiling for loose cultivators.
Not every loose cultivator reaching the Individual Immortal Realm qualifies as a prodigy, yet each represents at least one standout among thousands.
These thousands aren't mere mortals but fellow loose cultivators who had crossed Tribulation.
The Li family member handling registrations swiftly crafted Jade Tokens for them and cautioned, "This jade token serves as your proof for accessing and exiting the Outer World—guard it well."
"Should you misplace it within the Floating Light Realm, identity verification isn't overly difficult, but replacing it demands certain Spiritual Objects."
"Many thanks for the warning, fellow Daoist."
Even the top loose cultivators viewed this mere registrar from the Li family as impressive, heightening their awe at the clan's immense power.
"We hope all fellow Daoists enjoy smooth journeys, triumphant gains, and secure returns."
Securing these three fortunes implies not only surviving the Floating Light Realm but harvesting abundant Spiritual Objects, all while clashing fiercely against its native beasts!
They reaped vast rewards, and the Li family eased the strain of confronting the Floating Light Realm's locals, forging a win-win pact.
To ease the passage of these loose cultivators through the space rift, its position was placed at the mountain's base instead of deeper within.
A hundred loose cultivators, hearts pounding with thrill and anxiety, reached the space rift. Their forefront figure inhaled sharply and strode ahead without delay.
In a flash, his form vanished entirely.
The remaining loose cultivators hastened after him, their silhouettes soon dissolving from sight.
Moments later, the space rift sealed shut once more.
Sustaining the rift's openness devours plentiful Spiritual Objects, and the Li family lacks the resources to maintain it idly, opting to activate it solely as required.
…
In the meantime.
The band of loose cultivators also touched down in the Floating Light Realm, promptly sensing the hostile suppression from this Realm's Heavenly Dao, uncertain of their retained prowess.
Their landing spot posed no immediate danger, having been secured as a sturdy outpost by the Li family!
During this interval, the Li family hadn't lounged in wait for loose cultivators; rather, they devoted efforts to erecting robust defenses before the Realm's natives caught on.
Beyond the visible fortress loomed a broad moat, trenches, and an array of Defensive Magical Artifacts, all designed to render this outpost an unbreachable bastion!
"Fellow Daoists, kindly come with me." A Li family cultivator drew near and addressed the assembly.
The loose cultivators trailed him compliantly, stepping into a vast chamber at last. "From here on, this shall be your dwelling, fellow Daoists."
"Naturally, if any prefer not to remain, renting a cave mansion with Spirit Stones is an option—it's entirely voluntary."
That said, the price would be steep, given the outpost's constrained area and incomplete amenities.
"At present, native creatures of this Realm encircle the outpost, though they've held back for now, avoiding massive assaults. Still, such clashes loom inevitable, so steel yourselves for the fierce combats ahead."
