Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1915: 1426: Pending Revision_2
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
Yet, the moment wasn't right for delving into such topics. Given their overwhelming power, these minor factions wouldn't dare to challenge them anyway. It was wiser to simply stay silent and observe.
That said, the Heavenly Immortal expert known as Li Zhirui showed remarkable generosity, sharing such a valuable Method without expecting any compensation in return.
His approach was genuinely worthy of respect. Naturally, plenty of cultivators viewed him as naive for missing out on acquiring rare Spiritual Objects and Methods.
They failed to see, though, that favors from the mighty are the most valuable yet toughest to settle, particularly when they come from influential sects!
Upon hearing his ancestor's name brought up, Li Xiuyuan froze in surprise. Recalling the prior discussion, he grew deeply confused about why his ancestor hadn't mentioned it after coming back.
Still, dispatching someone to inquire right now wouldn't work. He had no choice but to hold back his questions and intend to consult Ancestor Rui personally once the gathering ended to sort things out.
By then, the leading powers had already conferred and reached a decision. To become part of this Immortal Tao alliance, contributions in the form of people or Spiritual Objects were required.
Once the Methods were fully developed, participants wouldn't just receive the finished versions; they'd also join the collective venture into the Outer World.
Surely, any sect unwilling to offer something would find itself excluded from future rewards and successes.
“Seniors, could I venture to inquire, this Secret Technique seems incredibly sophisticated and deep. How might we, as a simple Individual Immortal group, possibly contribute to it?”
No one in their right mind would turn down involvement, as it presented a clear path to major growth. They could even spark several breakthroughs!
The issue lay in the technique's immense potency. What right did these lesser groups have to take part?
“Rest assured on that front.”
The response caught everyone off guard, leaving them baffled by the casual tone.
“The originator of this Secret Technique possessed only Mortal Realm cultivation. If they managed it, what's stopping you?” With that, the Great Ability cleared up all the lingering doubts.
“What?!”
Those unaware of the details reeled in astonishment. Had it not come straight from him, no one would accept such a wild claim!
“Very well! Should you have thoughts on the matter, reach out to these sects: Supreme Palace, Yuxu Palace, Biyou Palace, Cave Abyss Sect, Yin Yang Mountain, and Jiang Family of Pill Mountain…”
He rattled off more than a dozen elite Immortal Tao organizations, spread throughout the East Continent, allowing numerous smaller and mid-tier groups to connect without arduous journeys.
The big players could easily link up via the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array. Linking just a handful of nodes demanded only modest Spiritual Energy.
With the plans set, the groups powering the array promptly halted their Spiritual Energy input. Lacking further supply, the Formation would seal itself after a mere ten breaths.
Actually, every faction shut down the Formation ahead of schedule on their own.
Ahead lay countless duties, so lingering on this would be a needless delay.
This massive stir in the Immortal Tao realm also roused several rival factions. This occasion, they'd run the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array for a solid quarter-hour at peak capacity!
It sparked intense curiosity about the Immortal Tao's next moves, prompting them to dispatch scouts for intel.
Right after exiting the Formation, Li Xiuyuan's initial action was heading straight to Li Zhirui to gauge his take on events.
Knock knock knock—
Li Zhirui, fresh from wrapping up his tasks, caught the chime at his door. He arched a brow and invited the visitor inside.
“Greetings to Ancestor Rui!” After showing proper reverence, he bowed in salute.
Li Zhirui helped him rise and inquired, “Clan Leader, what brings you here?”
“Ancestor Rui, moments ago, the top Immortal Tao forces fired up the Eight-direction Heavenly Pillar Array, announcing the Secret Technique for crossing worlds. Word is, an imperial dynasty has mastered it, so they're rallying the full might of Immortal Tao to pull it off.”
“Oh?”
Exactly as expected!
Li Zhirui couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Without the blow landing personally, the sting remains unfelt.
Regarding regrets being too late, that wasn't the case. The Human Dao was merely in its early stages, not far ahead of them, leaving room to close the gap.
“Ancestor Rui, with you holding this Secret Technique, why hold back from telling us? Without those major forces stepping in this time, the clan could have stayed clueless.”
It wasn't exactly an accusation, merely a touch of frustration.
“The clan's power is far too modest. I feared that tearing open a spatial rift might connect to another Great Thousand World beyond. Should Outer World beings spot it, the fallout for the clan and the Primal Spirit Realm would be devastating.”
That was Li Zhirui's explanation, especially now that the Immortal Tao had eased their restrictions,
…
Time flew by in a flash, and before long, centuries had elapsed.
