Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Drizzle veiled the entire world in grey fog, and several barely detectable streams of Spirit Light flew out from Myriad Thunder Mountain in succession, heading towards the distance before disappearing completely.

Elder Qi, Ni, and Jiang were the first to reach their destination.

"A Golden Core Elder from Shen Leishan?!" The three authorities were shocked upon hearing this news, as Shen Leishan would never deploy a Golden Core Elder unless it was a serious matter!

Even though these elders were not the de facto power-holding elders, their status was absolutely not low!

"Hurry, invite him in, no! I'll go to welcome him myself, and you go and invite a few of our elders out," Fan Changhai, the head of the Fan Family, quickly regained his composure and ordered, before getting up and walking briskly towards the outside.

It was only a moment before he appeared outside the clan ground.

"I'm sorry to have kept Elder waiting, please forgive my tardiness!"

In fact, Elder Qi had arrived at the place only half a quarter of an hour earlier, hardly a long wait.

Fan Changhai bowed respectfully and invited, "Would Elder like to come inside for a talk?"

Seeing Elder Qi nod his head, Fan Changhai quickly led the way, introducing the family's layout to him while waiting for several elders to come out.

It wasn't until he saw his confidant nodding that he stopped dragging out the time.

"What wind has blown you here, Qi? You didn't let me know in advance so I could have welcomed you," said a middle-aged man who came forward with high spirits, hugging Elder Qi's shoulder like a close friend.

"It's been years since we last met, Fan, and you're still spirited as ever!" Elder Qi replied with a light laugh, but he kept a certain distance in his attitude and his answer was deliberately vague.

Everyone entered the grand hall and took their seats in order. After exchanging pleasantries, Elder Qi finally broached the central issue of his visit, "The sect needs you to act against the Li family, find ways to weaken them, and strike at them!"

"This…" A flash of realization and fear crossed Fan Changhai's eyes; he understood Shen Leishan's purpose in doing this, but the fear was because the Li family was too powerful to provoke.

If they truly angered the Li family, causing them to dispatch a large number of Cultivators against them, Shen Leishan would definitely not help out. After all, on the surface, it would appear that they had struck first, and if they were inferior in skill, that would be warranted.

"This is the support granted by the sect, and I will disguise myself as a Fan Family Cultivator. When the time comes, I'll act against the Li family together with the Mingguang Sect and the Hongluo Sect. With this, do you have any more concerns?" Elder Qi's voice dropped at the last sentence, cold and bloodthirsty killing intent seeping through.

Facing such an outcome, Fan Changhai had neither the power nor the courage to resist, and could only stammer his assent.

——

"My King, a Golden Core Cultivator has come from outside, claiming to be from Shen Leishan."

"Oh?" The seated Demon King nodded, saying, "Bring them here."

Within the territory of Great Void Province, entirely claimed by the Devil Race, today there unexpectedly appeared a figure from the human race.

Once he had explained his purpose, the leading Demon King laughed heartily, "News of the human race's infighting is truly an enjoyable spectacle!"

"We agree to this matter. When the time is right, we will drive the lower-rank Devil Beasts to invade from the south."

After sending the person away, the Demon King summoned all the Golden Core Devil Beasts under his command and announced the plan, "Devouring Cultivators to rapidly increase Mana is an excellent opportunity!"

The devil beasts' eyes flickered with excitement and anticipation, as it had been ages since they had tasted the flesh and blood of cultivators, not to mention that this time, they could indulge to their heart's content!

"But," the Demon King cautioned carefully, "should you encounter danger, retreat immediately. Do not linger in the outside world."

One must know, the difficulty in cultivating a third-tier devil beast was much greater than that of a Golden Core cultivator. After all, most devil beasts initially lack spiritual intelligence and must rely on instinct to survive before embarking on the path of cultivation.

Seeing that the devil beasts were dismissive and didn't take his words to heart, he shouted loudly, "Do you understand?!"

"Yes!" This time, the devil beasts put aside their casualness and disdain, responding respectfully.

----

In the Boundless Sea to the east, within the territory occupied by the Monohorn Behemoth.

An elderly cultivator bearing news from Shen Leishan arrived at this place.

Within the Monohorn Behemoth, one behemoth that was larger in size but had a broken horn atop its head was the most excited when it heard the elder's news. It roared like thundering rage, saying, "I've agreed, when do we start? I can hardly wait to tear the Li family to pieces and swallow them whole!"

However, Lan Jiao failed to notice the dissatisfaction among his kin, for he was just a minor third-tier, and in such a setting, when was it his turn to speak?

"Your Excellency may act freely." The elder, who had been observing everyone, smiled faintly and handed over the various spiritual objects to the leading behemoth before departing.

"Lan Jiao, I know you have a grudge against that family. You may take this opportunity for your revenge, but you must know, our kind is rare and precious, and it is impossible to arrange for someone to aid you," the leading behemoth said with an ancient, profound voice.

"I shall heed the Clan Leader's command!" Though Lan Jiao felt somewhat unwilling internally—for the more who went, the greater the beast tide they could stir up, and the higher the casualties of the Li family would naturally be—he had to go through with it.

Time swiftly passed, and Lan Jiao, driven by vengeance and to settle the obsession in his heart, had to do this.

During this period, he had been swimming around the nearby sea areas, observing the situation of the low-tier Water Devils, considering the scale of the beast tide to instigate. Although they were scattered like weeds throughout the sea, he needed to carefully control their numbers to prevent the tide from becoming uncontrollable.

One day, Lan Jiao bid farewell to his clan and parents, leading nearly a hundred thousand beasts in a tide, their destination—Wanxian Island of the Li family!

Meanwhile, on Wanxian Island, everyone was surprised by the return of Li Zhixuan, and they welcomed her sincerely.

The happiest were undoubtedly Li Shiqing and Li Shilian, these two elders never imagined that Li Zhixuan would bring them such a tremendous surprise!

A Sword Cultivator with a Golden Core!

Even though she was only in the early stages of Golden Core, her deterrent power was much higher.

For all beings in the Profound Origin Realm knew well the terror and might of a Sword Cultivator's battle prowess!

After getting rid of these irrelevant individuals, Li Zhixuan approached the entrance of Li Zhirui's dwelling. The one who ran to open the door was Li Chengshuo, with Jiang Fengwu and Li Chengsheng not far behind her.

"Aunt Fengwu, why isn't Jiu seen around?"

"He went into seclusion for a breakthrough attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage a few years ago," said Jiang Fengwu softly, her preference was more for this one than the other.

A flash of surprise and envy crossed Li Zhixuan's calm face. She had been in hot pursuit, yet no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up but instead fell further and further behind.
