Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2122 1531: Integration

Given these circumstances, they held no faith that Wei Gongting could uncover any leads to the Secret Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I believe it would be wise for you to depart while you still can. Truly, it is not worth jeopardizing your life," one of the Loose Cultivators offered with genuine concern.

"Indeed, while the Secret Realm might hold value, it cannot possibly be worth more than your own existence!"

"Esteemed Daoist, you should make haste and leave."

...

Others among the Loose Cultivators, whether with sincerity or veiled sarcasm, implored him to retreat.

"I refuse to believe it!"

Under the influence of Li Zhirui, Wei Gongting, as if overcome by a surge of anger, abruptly halted his movement not far from a boulder etched with Array Patterns. He unleashed his pent-up frustration and vexation by striking out with a ferocious bolt of lightning.

Rumble!

The destructive force of the thunderbolt was astonishing, causing all the Loose Cultivators to fall silent in fear, their intentions to persuade him vanishing.

"There is something unusual! Look, there's something right here!"

Amidst the blinding flash of thunder, a Loose Cultivator with exceptionally keen eyesight caught a fleeting glimpse of the boulder, his eyes widening with surprise and a nascent flicker of anticipation.

Moments later, as the intense Thunder Light began to fade, the boulder's complete form was revealed. Its mysterious and complex patterns, which had been deliberately obscured, strongly suggested the presence of a significant secret.

A realization dawned upon everyone present that something was indeed amiss, and following this, a complex mix of emotions like excitement, eagerness, and profound expectation surged through them.

"This is..."

Within the gathering of Loose Cultivators, there was an individual notably knowledgeable in the art of Formations. He immediately ascended into the air, examining the Array Patterns with utmost care and meticulous attention.

Not long afterward, his voice, brimming with elation, resonated through the air, "Fixation, Transmission, Stabilization... When these Array Patterns are combined, they could very well constitute a composite Great Array designed for the purpose of securing and transmitting the Secret Realm!"

Wow——

The entire area erupted in a clamor, each individual's face alight with pure ecstasy.

"It's true! The rumors are indeed accurate! The Gloomy Swamp genuinely conceals a Secret Realm!"

"The whispers also spoke of Spiritual Objects being scattered throughout the Secret Realm, and their high Grade. Could that also be the truth?"

"Quickly! Haste is necessary! Dispatch this news to others immediately to prevent the Three Mysterious Sect and similar powers from suppressing this information!"

Amidst the chorus of excited exclamations, this single statement acted like a splash of cold water, instantly dousing their fervent hearts, and a profound calm descended upon everyone.

Swiftly, they all produced their Sound Transmission Talismans, relaying the information to those Loose Cultivators they knew and trusted, imploring them to spread the word as widely as feasible. Only through such widespread dissemination could they enter the Secret Realm without the looming threat of the Three Mysterious Sect altering their stance.

For a significant period, streams of Spirit Light flickered across the vast sky, as one Sound Transmission Talisman after another shot off in various directions with great speed.

Before long, the luminescence observed above the Gloomy Swamp not only failed to diminish but actually saw an increase in its numbers.

This phenomenon occurred because the initial group of Loose Cultivators, who had received the Sound Transmission Talismans, had subsequently contacted an even larger circle of their peers.

Concealed within the shadows, orchestrating these unfolding events, Li Zhirui's countenance bore a distinct smile of satisfaction as the unfolding situation perfectly aligned with his meticulously laid plans.

He then returned to a state of quiet observation, awaiting the moment when the dispersed Loose Cultivators would reconvene. It was only then that he and Fu Chengguang would make their move!

"Grave tidings! Our concealed Restriction has been breached by the Loose Cultivators!" A certain Earth Immortal burst into the stronghold, his face contorted with horror.

"How could this be possible? That Restriction was meticulously deduced by our Heavenly Immortal Ancestor. A mere collection of low-level cultivators from the Realm of Human Immortality could not possibly have discerned its existence."

The first Earth Immortal to speak, his face etched with profound frustration, explained, "It was unintentionally broken by a Loose Cultivator named Wei Gongting, which subsequently exposed it."

"Ah, and he is the very individual who initially stepped forward to challenge us, and was subsequently injured."

Had he not witnessed the events firsthand, he too would have found it difficult to accept.

"Furthermore, those Loose Cultivators who were the first to discover the breach have already disseminated the information far and wide, precisely to thwart any attempts by us to silence them. Presently, nearly every Loose Cultivator is aware."

Observing their continued contemplation on methods to conceal the information, he introduced another unwelcome development.

"Curses!"

An Earth Immortal uttered in anger, "Why does every endeavor proceed contrary to our intentions, as if an unseen force is deliberately thwarting us from the shadows!"

After contemplating this line of reasoning, the others concurred that it was indeed plausible! Ever since the dissemination of news regarding the Secret Realm commenced, not a single aspect had proceeded smoothly, nor had any objective been successfully attained.

"Could it truly be the Baiyun Sect, the Purple Extreme Sect, and other such powerful factions who have grasped the secret of the Secret Realm, manipulating events against us from behind the veil?"

"However, if it was truly them, why would they stir up the loose cultivators? Wouldn't it be more beneficial for them to approach us directly and negotiate with the Sect?" a cultivator expressed his confusion.

With the loose cultivators now involved, they would be compelled to relinquish a substantial portion of Spiritual Objects every time the Secret Realm opened, thereby diminishing their own profits significantly. Would they resort to such a self-detrimental strategy?

"These matters can be deliberated upon later. The most urgent concern at present is to devise a solution to the current predicament!" Tu Sen interjected swiftly, sensing their thoughts drifting, and steered them back to the immediate issue.

But under the prevailing circumstances, what actions could possibly be taken?

A wager placed a few days prior was not of great consequence. In ordinary times, if they had wished to reneye on their promise, there would have been avenues to do so.

Yet, now, with tens of thousands of loose cultivators gathered in the Gloomy Swamp, some of whom were Earth Immortals, arousing their anger could lead to unpredictable actions born from momentary rage.

At that juncture, it would be *they* who would face the repercussions!

"Alas! It seems unavoidable; let us proceed to communicate with these loose cultivators and ascertain precisely what their demands entail."
