Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

We shouldn't have been so absolute from the start, not allowing any other cultivators to enter the relics. We should have relaxed some restrictions and allied with one faction to fight another.

Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed, and their arrogance has resulted in the current outcome!

"I wonder what insights Fellow Daoist Qing He has?"

"None, we can only hurry and seek the treasures within the relics."

Before finishing her words, Qing He vanished.

In fact, in this situation, the Cave Abyss Sect is in a far better position than the other five major forces, holding a greater advantage.

Because the Cave Abyss Sect has the most disciples, all of whom can enter the relics to explore and search for treasures, unlike the other five forces, which at most brought one or two hundred disciples.

After all, with these Heavenly Immortal Great Abilities, having fewer lower-cultivation disciples isn't a concern.

But now, the insufficient number of people has become their biggest shortcoming, forcing them to all enter the relics, striving to make up for it.

...

Safely entering the relics, Li Zhirui wasted no time and immediately began his treasure hunt.

The relics covered a vast area, with numerous rooms and countless palaces. Just seeing this gives an idea of how powerful the relics once were.

At the same time, he discovered a very peculiar phenomenon: there were no signs of fighting within the relics, nor any remains of the deceased.

It didn't look like a massacre or any other calamity; rather, it seemed as if the place had been voluntarily abandoned and collectively relocated.

If that were true, it would suggest there might not be anything valuable in the relics, as precious treasures would have been taken during the migration.

But Li Zhirui believed his Spirit Sense was not deceptive. Since it had hinted at the presence of some treasure related to his path of cultivation here, it must be somewhere within the relics.

Not knowing the relics, he could only follow his intuition, wandering around, hoping to stumble upon a treasure.

Yet, who knows if it was luck or coincidence.

Li Zhirui hadn't gone far when he encountered two cultivators fighting fiercely over a Spiritual Object in the middle.

"A Human Immortal Level Spiritual Object?"

Li Zhirui slightly raised his eyebrows. Though he didn't know from how many years ago the relics were, the Spiritual Object could be preserved so well. It seemed there was some kind of Secret Technique involved.

"Fellow Daoist, if you are willing to help me acquire this Spiritual Object, I'll give you half," one of them quickly shouted.

"Why can't I have the entire Spiritual Object myself?"

Saying this, Li Zhirui decisively attacked, pressing two massive wooden mountains toward them and flying toward the Spiritual Object himself.

"Greed often leads to no good end!"

At that moment, the two put aside their enmity to join forces against Li Zhirui.

But the challenge in front of them was that they couldn't quickly deal with the wooden mountains.

"It seems your abilities are still a bit lacking; this Spiritual Object is mine now..."

As he spoke, Li Zhirui's hand had already seized the Spiritual Object and he immediately stored it in his personal space.

"Farewell!"

Having obtained the Spiritual Object, there was naturally no need to linger. Li Zhirui swiftly retreated, leaving the two to struggle with the wooden mountains.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, everyone had been in the relics for several days.

Previously, due to the various strange occurrences in the relics, Li Zhirui suspected that many Spiritual Objects had been taken away.

But now, looking back, it didn't seem to be as he thought; the relics held more Spiritual Objects than he had imagined.

However, there's no need to understand the reason for the formation of the relics now. What matters more is that while the relics have just opened and the treasures are still plentiful, gaining as many as possible is key.

...

"Drop the treasure in your hand, and I can spare your life!"

"Stop daydreaming, I'd rather destroy it than give it to you."

On this day, just after finishing a battle, Li Zhirui encountered a pursuit.

The fleeing cultivator, upon seeing him, threw a perfectly sealed Jade Box into his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, this is an Earth Immortal Rank treasure. It seems fated for you, so I gift it to you."

"Hmph!"

Li Zhirui didn't believe he could be so kind. A sweep of his Divine Sense revealed it was just an empty Jade Box, a complete attempt to lead trouble to him.

"Courting death!"

Initially not intending to intervene, being dragged into this scheming, Li Zhirui absolutely wouldn't let it pass.

An unyielding vine shot out, wrapping around his ankle, and with a tremendous force, he was pulled back. In this process, vines covered him entirely, leaving him unable to move.

"I was momentarily confused; I beg Fellow Daoist to spare my life. I am willing to give the Earth Immortal Level Spiritual Object to Fellow Daoist," the cultivator pleaded loudly for forgiveness.

"If you die, won't the Spiritual Object be mine anyway?"

Li Zhirui turned to look at the cultivator in the distance and said, "Do you wish to fight me?"

The Middle Stage of Human Immortal's pressure erupted completely at that moment.

Within the relics, he'd concealed his cultivation, planning to play a pig to eat the tiger and surprise the opponents, though the opportunity had never arrived.

Until now, to quickly resolve time-wasting troubles, Li Zhirui began utilizing his cultivation to oppress others.

...

While Li Zhirui was still searching for treasures within the relics, a major incident outside the relic shook the entire East Continent Immortal Tao.

An Immortal Demon Beast led over a thousand Devil Race members to attack the Chongshan Sect, an Earth Immortal Force, not only capturing it but cruelly slaughtering its cultivators and the Individual Immortals and mortals living nearby!

Even the Deity of that territory was not spared.

Reportedly, the massacre lasted three days and nights, claiming countless human victims and tainting thousands of miles of land red and black, with no change even after digging three feet into the ground.

If not for the overwhelming resentment, plus the Deity's death alerting the Heavenly Court, with Ziwei acting to obliterate those beasts who had slain the Deity, the beasts might not have shown restraint until the Immortal Tao noticed. The harmed region could have expanded even further!

This incident enraged all human forces in the East Continent, who began saying that these beasts should be skinned, boned, and cut into pieces!

Moreover, many forces began retaliatory massacres against the surrounding Devil Race.

The flames of war quickly spread across the entire East Continent.

Originally facing great hardships in the East Continent, the Devil Race found survival even tougher after this event, with low-level demon beasts having no prospects of living on.

Even the Li family, far away in Shanhai State, was no exception, dispatching family members to hunt the beasts within their territory.

"I wonder how Ancestor Rui's situation is? And why did the Devil Race suddenly go crazy?" Li Guangjie murmured to himself.

But he was too busy to spare time or energy to think deeply about the matter.

The human race's counterattack in the East Continent was extremely swift and fierce, and the Sea Clan following the news was also informed of the matter immediately.

"It truly brought ruin upon its kin, indeed pitiable."

The Heavenly Immortal Water Demon that had issued a prior warning shook its head with a sigh and said, "Who knows how many stupid beasts like it exist within the Devil Race. Thankfully, the ancestors foresaw and detached from the Devil Race; otherwise, we might have suffered too."

But after a few more days, the situation reversed!

Two Heavenly Immortals unexpectedly emerged from the East Continent Devil Race!

It turned out the purpose of the Immortal Demon Beast slaughtering Chongshan Sect cultivators and mortals was to focus all cultivator attention on the incident, relaxing the surveillance on the Devil Race.

Then, two beasts seized the opportunity to transcend the Tribulation, and before the cultivators could react, their Thunder Tribulation had ended!

Thus, just like that, the East Continent Devil Race gained two more Immortal Demon Beasts.

As for those beasts that died in the process? They didn't care, as long as there wasn't a risk of extermination; the number of casualties was inconsequential.

In fact, some of the top Devil Race perceive this as a great sifting; the beasts who survived are considered outstanding and can be trained.

"Who would have thought everyone was fooled by the Devil Race? Who says the Devil Race is reckless and stupid? Isn't this calculation well executed?"

Countless cultivators were infuriated because they had been turned into a joke!
