Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1939 - 1438: Departure (2)

Thus, Spirit Medicine Mountain emerged as the initial Immortal Dao Power annihilated by the Li family after their assault on the Floating Light Realm!

Yet this stands as just the start; before long, a vast array of other powers will undoubtedly suffer the same doom.

Having rapidly cleared the battlefield, Li Zhixuan guided her clansmen and the loose cultivators onward to the subsequent target.

...

Yet another battlefield!

Right now, the clan members and loose cultivators under Li Ming Yao's command were launching a ferocious assault on a cultivation family.

They went by the name of the Qingjiu Liu Family; their power matched that of Spirit Medicine Mountain. Still, they proved far more cautious than Spirit Medicine Mountain, so the moment the group stepped into their detection zone, Liu Family members detected them, sparking a fierce clash without delay.

In contrast to Li Zhixuan’s piercing and ruthless approach, Li Ming Yao’s tactics carried greater weight, sturdier foundation, and broader scale. The Divine Powers he unleashed proved unbreakable by any Liu Family member, leaving them to merely chip away at their might as best they could.

However, it changed nothing substantial—they could only gaze in despair as a colossal mountain plummeted from the sky.

Screech——

The Defensive Array buckled under the immense pressure; its Spirit Light faded, fissures spread relentlessly, and snapping noises resounded repeatedly.

Anyone could see it plainly—the formation teetered on the brink, soon to shatter beneath the mountain's weight.

Terror and chaos gripped the Liu Family cultivators; they scrambled to halt it, yet their efforts yielded nothing.

All that remained was to witness the peril closing in, right up until the formation exploded into ruin!

Half an hour more ticked by, and with a deafening boom, the roar echoed over the terrain as clouds of smoke and debris billowed outward.

At last, the Liu Family’s Defensive Array lay shattered.

Lacking the formation's shield, the Liu Family plunged into dire straits. The onslaught from Li Ming Yao overwhelmed them utterly—particularly his Divine Powers, which radiated endless, unyielding might, vast and unshakeable, rendering any attempts to diminish them almost futile.

Under these dire conditions, the Liu Family’s Clan Leader and Elders started pondering the identical strategy as Spirit Medicine Mountain: safeguarding a remnant, to prevent the family's utter extinction.

However, no secure path out existed; thus, amid the fray, they resorted to sending select family members fleeing via the swiftest Spirit Boat.

By now, the crisis had escalated to the point where the Liu Family teetered on collapse, on the verge of crumbling under the Li family’s relentless barrage and courting complete wipeout.

And so it unfolded—not much later, the final Liu Family member fell to a loose cultivator's strike!

"Quickly clear the battlefield, take a good rest, and move out to the next force without delay!" Li Ming Yao’s command boomed in every ear.

It felt like an invisible accelerator had kicked in; suddenly, everyone's pace surged dramatically.

"I never imagined the Li family held such immense power—and such boldness and slyness. We're truly fortunate this time, linking up with a powerhouse like them," one loose cultivator remarked to his fellow.

"Right, I figured the Li family would just throw us away as disposable fodder to perish, but that wasn't the case. Joining them actually let us snag some fine treasures."

"With fortune favoring us on this path, we might even amass a hefty pile of cultivation resources."

"It's a shame our Cultivation Technique's path ahead got blocked off."

...

Their exchange struck a chord with the surrounding loose cultivators, who chimed in freely, voices brimming with admiration for the Li family.

What might have begun as casual chatter among themselves soon proliferated, turning into an obvious display tailored for the Li family's benefit.

Li Ming Yao naturally caught onto the loose cultivators’ little game, yet he paid it no mind—after all, each person chased their own agenda, so how could he intervene?

Even so, aware of the flattery's intent, a spark of satisfaction still warmed his chest.

After devoting effort to gathering the loot, Li Ming Yao and his followers pressed on once again toward the next mountain gate.

Shortly thereafter, they reached the second force...

Much like on Li Zhixuan’s front, the strike proceeded with relative ease, free of major threats—but evidently, word had spread, as targets no longer stood utterly unprepared like earlier.

Consequently, eradicating the leftover four forces demanded extra time.

In the same vein, several Li family members and loose cultivators perished, though the toll stayed light overall—particularly when weighed against the bountiful rewards, making those sacrifices seem trivial.

Upon fulfilling their assigned objectives, Li Zhixuan and Li Ming Yao refrained from withdrawing their clans right away; rather, they divided into compact squads to survey the surroundings.

Regarding the loose cultivators? The Li family granted them full freedom—stay if they wished, roam as they pleased, or even depart the Floating Light Realm entirely; no issue at all.

Some among them opted to head back to base camp, traversing the spatial rift to return to the Primal Spirit Realm.

"What’s the situation?"

Upon their arrival, the skirmish at base camp had wrapped up ages ago; Li Zhirui, catching sight of them, promptly inquired about the frontline developments.

"Reporting to Elder, my group conquered three forces with hardly any casualties. Per that Sword Cultivator Elder’s orders, we broke into smaller units—likely for reconnaissance."

He meant Li Zhixuan.

Li Zhirui then questioned the loose cultivators from Li Ming Yao’s squad, receiving accounts that echoed the others.

This eased his worries—not from doubt in the strategy's success, but concern over excessive deaths; clearly, he'd fretted needlessly.

As for the spiritual items these loose cultivators had claimed, the Li family imposed no obligation to surrender them.

The Li family’s initial guideline demanded slaying three Floating Light Realm cultivators at equivalent realms, though previously, to amplify their combat strength, they relaxed that stipulation.

Simply participating in the offensive against six forces allowed them to depart bearing every spiritual item they'd obtained.

Naturally, should they reenter later, the tally would reset from scratch.

Thus, most loose cultivators, despite already securing plentiful spiritual items, held off on exiting, aiming to hoard a bit more for their cultivation needs.

Those departing at this juncture either deemed their haul sufficient for future progress or acted out of wariness, probably steering clear of future ventures.

The Li family in truth preferred they exit promptly—not due to pilfered clan resources, which amounted to little anyway?

Instead, back in the Primal Spirit Realm, they'd serve as prime endorsers, bound to draw in fresh waves of loose cultivators and accelerate the clan's domination of the Floating Light Realm.

"I bet the Clan Leader will grasp this prime chance, broadcast these loose cultivators far and wide, and lure even greater numbers to enlist!"

As he observed them vanishing through the spatial rift, Li Zhirui whispered to himself.
