Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2044 1491: Completion

"Your actions have granted the family fresh concepts and approaches for upcoming Outer World invasions," Li Debo remarked, smiling.

All had previously assumed Otherworld entities couldn't be relied upon, considering their goal to conquer realms and subjugate the local inhabitants here.

In those conditions, no one anticipated such creatures would ally or work together with them.

Exactly due to this realization, notions of forming alliances, sowing discord within, or swaying loyalties never crossed their minds.

Yet, should the circumstances resemble the Primordial Beast Realm's, where humans faced utter domination by the Devil Race, reduced to slaves and livestock with fates controlled by foes—

Invaders such as the Li family cultivators would then emerge as saviors in their eyes, hailed as divine deliverers!

Concerns about future uprisings from those Otherworld beings? They held none.

Once the Primal Spirit Realm's Heavenly Dao absorbed this Realm's Heavenly Dao, turning it into a subordinate domain, beings of such weak power couldn't possibly cause any disturbance.

Li Debo's eyes sparkled more intensely the deeper he pondered. This perspective opened endless opportunities—maybe future Outer World incursions wouldn't just be reckless charges but chances to employ alternative tactics.

"You all performed outstandingly!"

Composing his mind, he reaffirmed Li Xiuting and the rest's efforts. After a brief reflection, he continued, "Halt the Primordial Beast Realm invasion temporarily; let those Otherworld humans grow and perhaps deliver surprises!"

Thus, that period of anticipation stretched beyond a millennium.

Even initial explorers of the Primordial Beast Realm among the clan eventually lost memory of this family-discovered Outer World.

The clan's renewed call to probe the Primordial Beast Realm shocked them just like everyone else!

Naturally, the delay until present stemmed from the Li family's ceaseless surveillance and scouting of the Primordial Beast Realm.

World grade disparities caused vast differences in time flow; the ratio between realms stood at about one to four-point-five.

Put differently, a single year in the Primal Spirit Realm meant four and a half years gone by in the Primordial Beast Realm.

Presently, four thousand five hundred years had flown in the Primordial Beast Realm; humans formerly defenseless now wielded notable power.

They might not rescue every human, but at minimum, they could protect kin in their domains.

This setup allowed them to strike back at and wound the Devil Race—the ideal timing for Li family intervention!

...

Dong dong dong——

One dawn, a sharp, resonant bell tolled through Shanhai State, resounding for all cultivators.

Longtime loose cultivators in Shanhai State instantly knew the Li family summoned all for a grand affair.

"Peace has reigned for years—might a massive war be stirring again?"

"No way! Unlike earlier times, territories lie far apart, blocking real contact. Western cultivators arrive lately, yet no stirrings reported from the Immortal Demon Battlefield."

A more knowledgeable nearby cultivator chimed in, "The Demonic Tao remains entangled fighting Ghost Clan and Sea Clan to regain lands; they lack spare forces against us."

While discussions and guesses flew, the Li family revealed the cause.

"Outer World expedition! And it's a Middle Thousand Worlds no less!?"

Many cultivators' gazes ignited at once.

What fortune indeed!

Dangers abounded, yet gains matched in plenty.

Rumors told of the prior Li family Middle Thousand Worlds raid, where fortunate joining loose cultivators snagged realm-advancing treasures!

Not daring dream of such fortune, a minor realm breakthrough would satisfy them fully.

Plus, seizing a Middle Thousand Worlds earned merit points, small though worthwhile.

Danger? For resource-hunting loose cultivators sans elder backing, which path lacks peril?!

Suddenly, Shanhai State erupted in frenzy.

"Assemble squads! Assemble squads! Who wants to probe the Outer World as a group?"

"My squad's geared up completely, seeking a Defense Divine Ability expert."

"I excel in sword arts, attack with ferocity, calling fellow Daoists of matching might."

...

Loose cultivators from Immortal City and markets dashed around, hunting ideal partners.

However, scarce trust meant few succeeded in grouping—city loose cultivators often turned bandits beyond walls.

Moreover, hidden demon cultivators among them deepened the distrust further.

Certainly, some truly mighty lone wolves shunned teams, intent on solo Outer World treks.

...

At Mount Wanxian in the meantime—

The Li family rapidly mustered tens of thousands of members. Under several Earth Immortals' lead, they mounted cloud boats toward Hundred Springs Peak.

Idle en route, the assembly bantered casually.

"Word is the family's using a novel invasion tactic to lighten frontal clash burdens—unsure if accurate though."

"Why haven't I caught wind of it?" a startled clan member queried.

"Stumbled on it by chance. But with the family's big stir, feels plausible."

"Should it hold true, splendid!"

Numerous clan kin sighed in relief. That boosted survival odds considerably.

Before, anxiety, dread, and thrill mixed in most. Now, good tidings eased them, tension notably faded.

Roughly two hours on, the cloud boat loomed above a majestic peak.

"Arrived. Disembark."

Tens of thousands alighted one after another. Hundred Springs Peak, formerly barren, swarmed instantly.

"Unlike prior Outer World raids, this one differs greatly."

This invasion's chief commander, Li Xianxun, aimed to brief the clan pre-Primordial Beast Realm entry, avoiding misconceptions.

"No more solo battles for any—family allied with this Realm's humans against Primordial Beast Realm rulers: the Devil Race!"

Clan eyes gleamed upon hearing; allies would simplify matters hugely.

"Still, their power remains modest; cultivation started mere millennia back, so temper expectations."

His face hardened mid-speech, voice grave: "Yet stay ever vigilant! Allying versus Devil Race doesn't breed trust or make them fit for rearing your young!"
