Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1934 - 1436: The Battle Begins
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
"Could the rumor from the Li family possibly be accurate? Are they sincerely permitting us loose cultivators to venture into the Outer World?" one loose cultivator questioned in disbelief.
He wasn't the only one; numerous other loose cultivators shared this doubtful outlook too.
After all, the World Traveling Technique had been inherited for countless years, yet chances for loose cultivators to access it remained rare, limited mostly to those who had banded into groups beforehand with the right credentials.
Furthermore, tales kept emerging of these loose cultivators achieving remarkable boosts in their cultivation, sparking envy and resentment among those unable to reach the Outer World.
Under these conditions, a number of loose cultivators gathered their resolve and headed toward Mount Wanxian.
"What has drawn you all here in a group?" Even before they drew near, watchful clan guards spotted them, swooping down on spirit beasts to inquire.
"Is what your family announced about letting loose cultivators into the Outer World actually true?"
The guards had received prior instructions. Upon meeting loose cultivators who asked directly, they were to share the details with them.
"Indeed, though the space rift isn't located on Mount Wanxian—it's five hundred miles northeast at the Qingquan Peak outpost. If you're intending to join, sign up there, and you'll receive the pass for the Outer World."
These loose cultivators at once displayed shocked faces, and after offering repeated thanks, they sped off excitedly toward Qingquan Peak.
At the same time, they activated Communication Talismans to reach out to their close fellow daoists, arranging to explore the Outer World as a team.
Everyone knew the Outer World brimmed with perils, and uniting forces could marginally enhance their odds of making it through.
Loose cultivators spread throughout Shanhai State, getting messages via Communication Talismans from companions, generally wasted no time and rushed to Qingquan Peak.
This could prove to be their pivotal chance to alter their destinies—settling for a mundane existence or gambling for greater prospects?
Overwhelmingly, loose cultivators opted for the riskier path!
Every cultivator stepping onto the cultivation road yearns to elevate their realm and power, since it signifies not just might but also earns admiration from peers and extends one's life!
Upon reaching Qingquan Peak, the loose cultivators summoned their allies, and in the end, more than a hundred gathered, with most at the Individual Immortal Realm in cultivation.
Though their realms weren't exceptionally advanced, this stood as the typical ceiling for loose cultivators.
Not every loose cultivator reaching the Individual Immortal Realm counts as a prodigy, but each represents at least one standout among a thousand.
That thousand specifically means a selection from Tribulation Crossing Loose Cultivators, not ordinary folk.
The Li family clan member handling registrations swiftly issued Jade Tokens to them and cautioned, "This jade token acts as your entry and exit permit for the Outer World—guard it well."
"Should you misplace it inside the Floating Light Realm, verifying your identity isn't overly difficult, but replacing it demands certain Spiritual Objects."
"Many thanks for the warning, fellow Daoist."
These top loose cultivators viewed the Li family's registrar as mere support staff, deepening their awe at the clan's immense power.
"We hope every fellow Daoist enjoys smooth journeys, triumphs, and safe returns."
Securing all three would indicate not only enduring the Floating Light Realm but harvesting plentiful Spiritual Objects, while clashing with countless local beasts in the realm!
They reaped huge rewards, and the Li family eased the strain from the Floating Light Realm's native threats, creating a win-win scenario.
To ease the passage of these loose cultivators through the space rift, its position was placed at the mountain's base instead of within the peaks.
A hundred loose cultivators, hearts pounding with thrill and anxiety, approached the space rift. The front one inhaled sharply and strode right in.
Instantly, his form vanished completely.
The remaining loose cultivators hurried after him, their silhouettes soon fading away.
Shortly after, the space rift sealed itself shut.
Sustaining the rift's openness demands vast Spiritual Objects, and the Li family lacks the endless resources to keep it active freely, so they activate it only as required through spells.
...
In the meantime.
The loose cultivators' group also touched down in the Floating Light Realm, right away sensing the realm's Heavenly Dao pushing back and weakening them, uncertain of how much power they could wield.
Their landing spot held no dangers now, as the Li family had already shaped it into a sturdy stronghold!
During this time, the Li family hadn't simply waited for loose cultivators to show up. They devoted efforts to erecting all sorts of defenses while the realm's natives remained unaware.
Apart from the fortress before their eyes, a broad moat stretched out, along with trenches and assorted Defensive Magical Artifacts, all designed to forge this outpost into an unbreachable bastion!
"Fellow Daoists, come with me please." A Li family cultivator stepped up and addressed the gathering.
The loose cultivators trailed him without protest and stepped into a vast chamber at last. "From here on, this will serve as your lodging, fellow Daoists."
"Naturally, if anyone prefers not to remain, they may spend Spirit Stones to lease a cave mansion—it's entirely optional."
That said, the price wouldn't come low, given the outpost's cramped area and the incomplete setup of its amenities.
"At present, native creatures of this Realm encircle the base, yet they've held back somewhat, avoiding massive assaults so far. Still, it's inevitable, so brace yourselves for the fierce combats ahead."
