Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1939 - 1438: Departure (2)

With this development, Spirit Medicine Mountain emerged as the initial Immortal Dao Power eradicated by the Li family following their entry into the Floating Light Realm!

Yet this represented merely the start; before long, a multitude of other powers would undoubtedly suffer the same downfall.

Having rapidly cleared the battlefield, Li Zhixuan guided her clansmen and the loose cultivators onward to the subsequent target.

...

Yet another battlefield!

At that instant, the clan members and loose cultivators under Li Ming Yao's command were launching a ferocious assault on a cultivation family.

They were known as the Qingjiu Liu Family; their power level mirrored that of Spirit Medicine Mountain. Still, they proved far more cautious than Spirit Medicine Mountain, so the moment the intruders breached their detection perimeter, Liu Family members detected them, sparking a fierce confrontation right away.

In contrast to Li Zhixuan’s piercing and ruthless approach, Li Ming Yao employed tactics that were weightier, sturdier, and more imposing. The Divine Powers he unleashed proved unbreakable by any Liu Family member, leaving them to merely attempt diminishing their might.

Nevertheless, it changed nothing substantial—they could only observe in despair as a colossal mountain plummeted from the sky.

Screech——

The Defensive Array buckled under the immense pressure; the Spirit Light faded, fissures spread relentlessly, and splintering noises resounded repeatedly.

It was plain to see—the array would soon collapse entirely beneath the mountain's weight.

Terror and chaos gripped the Liu Family cultivators; they desperately sought to halt it, yet remained powerless.

All they managed was to witness the peril closing in, right up until the formation shattered completely!

Another half hour elapsed, and with a deafening boom, the explosion reverberated through the terrain, while clouds of smoke and dust billowed outward.

The Liu Family’s Defensive Array had at last been vanquished.

Lacking the array's safeguard, the Liu Family plunged into dire straits. The onslaught from Li Ming Yao felt utterly crushing—particularly his Divine Powers, which conveyed an aura of endless, unyielding might, vast and unshakeable, rendering any efforts to erode them almost futile.

Under these dire conditions, the Liu Family’s Clan Leader and Elders started contemplating the identical strategy as Spirit Medicine Mountain: safeguarding a remnant, preventing total extinction of the lineage.

However, escape paths remained elusive; thus, amid the clash, they resorted to dispatching select family members via the swiftest Spirit Boat.

By now, the crisis had escalated to a critical point for the Liu Family, teetering on the brink of crumbling under the Li family’s relentless barrage and courting utter destruction.

And so it unfolded—not much later, the final Liu Family member fell to a loose cultivator's strike!

"Quickly clear the battlefield, take a good rest, and move on to the next force without delay!" Li Ming Yao’s command echoed in the ears of all present.

It was like flipping a switch for haste; the pace of everyone surged noticeably.

"I never imagined the Li family possessed such formidable strength—and such boldness and shrewdness. We truly struck it lucky this round, crossing paths with a power like this," one loose cultivator remarked to his fellow.

"Indeed, I figured the Li family would merely throw us into the fray as disposable fodder to perish, but that wasn’t the case. On the contrary, trailing them has let us claim some fine spoils."

"If fortune holds through our journey, we might amass a wealth of cultivation resources."

"It’s a shame our path in the Cultivation Technique stands severed."

...

Their exchange struck a chord with fellow loose cultivators, who chimed in freely, engaging in lively discussion, their remarks brimming with admiration for the Li family.

Though it might have begun as casual banter, its widespread diffusion hinted at a calculated display aimed at the Li family.

Li Ming Yao naturally discerned the loose cultivators’ ulterior motives, yet he paid them no mind—after all, each had their own designs, so how could he intervene?

Even so, aware of the flattery, a sense of satisfaction stirred within him.

After devoting effort to gathering the loot, Li Ming Yao and his followers resumed their march toward the next mountain gate assault.

Soon enough, they reached the second power...

Much like Li Zhixuan’s group, the operation proceeded quite smoothly, free of major threats—though it appeared awareness had dawned on some, rendering them less utterly unprepared than earlier.

Thus, eradicating the remaining four powers demanded extra time.

In similar fashion, several Li family members and loose cultivators perished, but the toll stayed light overall—particularly when weighed against the bountiful rewards, those sacrifices seemed trivial.

Upon fulfilling their assigned objectives, Li Zhixuan and Li Ming Yao refrained from withdrawing their clans at once, opting instead to divide into compact units for regional scouting.

Regarding the loose cultivators? The Li family granted them liberty—if they wished to linger, they could; to roam as they pleased, they might; even to depart the Floating Light Realm posed no issue.

Among their ranks, certain loose cultivators elected to head back to base camp, traversing the spatial rift to return to the Primal Spirit Realm.

"What’s the status?"

Upon their arrival, the skirmish at base camp had concluded ages prior; Li Zhirui, catching sight of them, promptly inquired about the frontline developments.

"Reporting to Elder, the squad I accompanied conquered three powers with scant losses. Per that Sword Cultivator Elder’s directives, we’ve formed smaller groups—likely for reconnaissance."

He meant Li Zhixuan.

Li Zhirui then questioned the loose cultivators from Li Ming Yao’s contingent, receiving responses that aligned closely.

This prompted a breath of relief from him—not from fear of mission failure, but concern over excessive casualties; evidently, his worries had been unfounded.

As for the spiritual items these loose cultivators obtained, the Li family imposed no obligation to surrender them.

The Li family’s initial stipulation involved slaying three Floating Light Realm cultivators of equivalent realm, though previously, to amplify combat strength, they had adjusted the terms.

Simply by participating in the strikes against six powers, they earned the right to depart with every spiritual item they secured.

Naturally, should they rejoin later, the tally would reset from scratch.

Consequently, most loose cultivators, despite already securing ample spiritual items, opted not to exit immediately, aiming to hoard additional cultivation resources.

Those departing at this juncture either deemed their haul sufficient for future cultivation needs or exercised prudence, unlikely to venture back.

The Li family in truth preferred they exit now—not due to pilfered clan resources, which amounted to little anyway?

Instead, upon reaching the Primal Spirit Realm, they served as ideal promoters, bound to draw in more loose cultivators and accelerate the clan’s domination of Floating Light Realm.

"I anticipate the Clan Leader will grasp this prime chance, broadcast these loose cultivators widely, and lure even greater numbers to enlist!"

Gazing as they vanished through the spatial rift, Li Zhirui whispered to himself.
