Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1914: 1426: Pending Revision

The Southern Domain's Daqian dynasty has already set out on its mission to conquer the Otherworld.

Meanwhile, the remaining two dynasties have advanced considerably in their studies of the world-travel Secret Technique, and success might come for them in the near future too.

By comparison, the Immortal Tao cultivators, despite receiving the full Secret Technique from Li Zhirui without any need for adaptation and thus able to jump straight into the research, are making slower headway than the Human Dao!

In the end, the cause boils down to the Immortal Tao's refusal to pool their efforts for a joint deduction of the Secret Technique; instead, they pursued separate paths, leading them to inevitably trail behind the Human Dao.

This difference arises in part from clashing beliefs, like the Human Dao's focus on collective strength versus the Immortal Tao's pursuit of empowering the individual once more.

Furthermore, the majority of Immortal Dao factions can't truly unite due to their numerous disputes and rivalries.

From the looks and responses of the various powers when Li Zhirui offered the Secret Technique, he had foreseen this very development.

So back then, he skipped any talk of working together and simply departed without delay.

Upon his return to the clan, he avoided discussing the issue with his family members, as their overall power remained insufficient for now. With a handful more Heavenly Immortals, though, he would undoubtedly rally them all to finalize the Secret Technique and venture into the Outer World.

That said, extracting the long-sealed Secret Technique will require a considerable amount of time at present.

Li Zhirui himself, even after acquiring the Secret Technique, merely skimmed through it before deciding to lock it away.

…

Kunlun State.

Shortly after the Daqian dynasty started its probes and preparations for seizing the Outer Realm, word reached multiple Immortal Dao factions.

On top of that, the other pair of dynasties are advancing rapidly and could soon refine their own Methods to perfection.

“How can they move so fast?!” That was the immediate response from countless cultivators when the news broke.

However, after regaining their composure, they grasped the underlying causes.

Still, reflecting on the problem left them quiet, as fostering unity among the great powers lay far beyond their influence.

In the face of such circumstances, their only option was a resigned sigh, perhaps relaying the information to their own Sects so the Sect Leader and Elders could weigh in.

Upon hearing the details, the different major powers showed diverse responses, yet each one knew that persisting in this manner wouldn't suffice! These two reports carried heavy weight.

In particular, having started with a clear edge only to get overtaken by the Human Dao afterward left these arrogant Immortal Dao forces deeply frustrated and tinged with remorse.

They lamented failing to push for alliances between the powers when Li Zhirui first shared the Secret Technique. Even partial teamwork among a few factions would have far outshone their present disarray.

Following confidential talks, the leading powers resolved to unite the Immortal Tao's might, aiming to overtake the Human Dao anew and reclaim supremacy in the race.

Such a move would safeguard the Immortal Tao's supremacy within the Primal Spirit Realm, preventing it from one day abruptly yielding to the Human Dao.

They could only hope it wasn't already too late!

Buzz buzz buzz—

An everyday moment transformed into something momentous when the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array abruptly sprang to life.

To begin with, various elite powers triggered the Formation at the same instant, launching brilliant Spirit Light into the heavens, which rapidly extended outward to link every point across the East Continent in mere moments.

Certain aware groups lingered steadily before the Formation, anticipating words from the elite powers, whereas the uninformed ones feared an imminent massive conflict, stirring unavoidable unease.

“Is another huge event unfolding in the Primal Spirit Realm?” At Mount Wanxian, Clan Leader Li Xiuyuan hurried anxiously toward the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array, eager for someone to address the gathering.

As the majority assembled, a grave voice declared, “The Human Dao has already used the Secret Technique to explore the Outer World. We must not fall behind, hence this meeting to discuss how to respond to the impact of the Human Dao.”

“Hmm?”

Like Li Xiuyuan, many brimmed with uncertainty, harboring several queries about the declaration.

This held especially true for the parts on the Secret Technique and venturing into the Outer World, sparking not just bewilderment but outright astonishment too.

For in the minds of most, such feats seemed unattainable, but evidently the Human Dao had pulled it off, and the Immortal Tao possessed comparable Methods as well.

“May I ask the senior to explain in detail what this really means?” the Sect Leader of a minor power inquired hesitantly.

He feared that silence now might mean no further opportunity to ask.

“A hundred or two hundred years ago, two Outer Realm cultivators entered the Primal Spirit Realm with their self-created Methods and were captured by Fellow Daoist Li Zhirui, who voluntarily handed them over to the Immortal Tao…”

Here, the speaker halted briefly before adding, “But for certain reasons, we did not deeply research this Secret Technique.”

“In contrast, the several Human Dao dynasties, after obtaining the Secret Technique, fully devoted themselves and eventually succeeded in deducing the Secret Technique.”

The cultivators present quickly realized it came down to selfish intentions and a lack of joint effort in deducing the Methods. Shocked by the Human Dao's breakthrough, they had rushed to call this assembly.
