Amid earth-shattering war cries, cultivators defended their Formation against a frenzied beast tide controlled by hidden Human Immortal devils. A Li family Earth Immortal identified the controllers and led Wan Qingxuan and two others to breach the horde and slay them. Wan Qingxuan swiftly eliminated two, scattering the rest and breaking the spell, causing low-level beasts to flee in terror. Cultivators pressed the advantage as This Realm humans attacked from another flank, forcing the devils into retreat and near-total defeat over the following years.

In the Primordial Beast Realm, the Devil Race served as the primary protagonists, claiming a vast share of the realm's luck and origin power.

Heavy casualties and losses caused this luck and origin to scatter naturally, weakening the Heavenly Dao accordingly.

This opened the door for Heavenly Dao wills from other realms to invade and exploit the vulnerability.

"Next, we can safely guide the Heavenly Dao in assimilating the Primordial Beast Realm, incorporating it into the Primal Spirit Realm and making it a vassal world." While speaking, Li Xianxun retrieved the array of spiritual objects prepared by the family.

After the Formation took shape, he directed cultivators to execute the Guiding Secret Technique, speeding up the power projection from the Primal Spirit Realm's Heavenly Dao.

A thunderous roar erupted as the Primal Spirit Realm's Heavenly Dao, summoned by the secret art, collided with the Primordial Beast Realm like a massive vessel smashing into an iceberg, triggering a sky-shaking explosion.

Given the Primordial Beast Realm's damaged source power and the tier gap between worlds, the Primal Spirit Realm's Heavenly Dao swiftly devoured its counterpart!

The annexation occurred at such breakneck speed that it outpaced Li Xianxun and the others' forecasts. They had anticipated a longer process, yet it finished in an instant.

All at once, Primal Spirit Realm cultivators shed their suppressions, their bindings breaking as strength flooded back fully.

Earth Immortals like Li Xianxun experienced this most intensely; earlier, his might had dwindled to under a tenth, filling him with suffocating frustration.

Now everything changed—he could finally release his full power unbound.

Devil beasts fleeing chaotically, skulking in hiding while plotting counterattacks, now despaired utterly with no reversal possible.

To safeguard them, the Li family swiftly imposed restrictions on loose cultivators, barring further hunts, slaughters, or total wipeouts of devil beasts.

"Li, why are you keeping that group of hidden threats?" Doubting deeply, one loose cultivator approached his Li family friend specifically to question.

"Because the family plans to develop this outer world into a Spirit Realm that combines large-scale spiritual object cultivation with training grounds for clan members. In the future, it will serve as a place for Individual Immortals and Human Immortal clan members to train, while also supplying vast amounts of spiritual objects for the family."

Through their clan members' statements, the Li family purposefully revealed their plans.

Envy gripped the loose cultivators; they endlessly fretted over training spots, while the Li family had secured perfect venues for every cultivation realm.

"What about the native humans of this realm, how do you plan to arrange for them?" Another loose cultivator abruptly inquired.

"If you want to properly develop the Primordial Beast Realm, aren't they the best candidates?" The Li family cultivator answered coolly.

Even with the races' near-identical looks, they rejected these realm humans as fellow clansmen.

Spread of these words didn't worry him, nor did natives' potential reactions.

For despite any rebellious urges, the crushing power disparity kept them bottled up inwardly. Acting on them promised no better end than Devil Race subjugation.

Furthermore, the Li family spared the devil race from extinction exactly to sustain them as a peril to local humans.

Admittedly, with such alike forms and features, the Li family dealt mildly with locals—no harsh bondage, merely tasks to clear Spirit Fields and grow ample spiritual objects for family demands.

In contrast, devil beasts seemed nominally free yet functioned as mobile spirit material vaults.

Ignored when unneeded, they met death the moment their materials were wanted!

"Now that matters here are settled, I, on behalf of the Li family, thank you all for your wholehearted assistance. Without your help, taking the Primordial Beast Realm so swiftly would have been impossible." Standing at the spatial rift, Li Xianxun voiced the family's profound thanks to every cultivator.

"Therefore, the clan has decided that all the spoils you've gained during this invasion are yours and do not need to be handed over!"

Prior remarks barely stirred loose cultivators, but this proclamation unleashed utter madness.

"Senior, is what you say true? You're not deceiving us, are you?" One bold loose cultivator ventured to ask.

Unruffled, Li Xianxun smiled and responded, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, surely you trust the Li family's reputation?"

Oh!

Joy crashed over the throng like a tidal wave, their roars of delight booming across vast distances.

Witnessing this, Wan Qingxuan stirred profoundly, finally comprehending his elders' endless acclaim for the Li family.

First, forgoing massive profits bought loyalty—future summons of loose cultivators would draw fervent turnout.

Second, milder handling trumped seizing hard-won spiritual objects by force.

Since most loose cultivators faltered in cultivation methods, they'd sell gathered spiritual objects to the Li family in any case.

Thus, the Li family reaped solid rewards while capturing loyalty and honor.

True to predictions, loose cultivators back in Primal Spirit Realm's Shanhai State eagerly broadcast the tale themselves.
