Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 2010 - 1474: Rejection

What Jiang Fengwu did not know was that, not long after she left, a figure indeed emerged from the heart of the Chaos Thunderstorm.

He strolled casually, yet the surrounding Void became solidified and oppressive.

Soon after, he vanished without a trace, and the Void returned to normal.

At this moment, Jiang Fengwu was completely unaware that she had narrowly avoided a catastrophe of unimaginable terror. Although she was somewhat afraid at the time, her yearning for fortune ultimately overcame her fear.

So she still maintained a cautious and vigilant attitude as she wandered through the Void.

However, after encountering the Chaos Thunderstorm, for quite a long period, Jiang Fengwu did not encounter any Chaotic Beings at all, let alone any battles.

If it weren't for running into several Chaotic Storms and turbulent currents, she would have doubted if she had truly entered the Void at all.

Of course, this situation made it convenient for her to comprehend the Chaos Dao Pattern, so it could be seen as a gain despite the loss.

...

Stars shifted; sun and moon flowed rapidly.

Nearly a thousand years slipped by in silence.

After many years in seclusion, Li Zhirui finally succeeded in perfecting his Methods. As for the effectiveness, theoretical deductions seemed promising, but how they would fare in real use remained unknown.

"To think that perfecting just a single Secret Technique would consume so much time." This greatly exceeded his expectations—he had originally thought a few centuries would suffice.

Shaking his head, he swept all these useless thoughts away. Then he rose from the meditation mat, intending to learn of the major events that had occurred in the family and the Primal Spirit Realm over these years.

Because his secluded cultivation lasted so long, a great many Jade Slips had already accumulated before Li Zhirui's Cave Mansion.

Even with the current strength of his Spiritual Soul, it still took him several days to finish all the Jade Slips.

First and foremost, the most important point: the relationship between the family and the Demon Spirit Clan had grown ever more intimate.

In this millennia, many clan members had forged contracts with Devil Spirits. They gained formidable companions, and the Demon Spirit Clan, through tempered trials, achieved a significant rise in power.

Secondly, Xiaoqing and Cang sent personal letters, saying that after years of striving to break into the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they had finally made some decisive progress!

And the direction of their breakthrough was to begin with the Divine Position.

There was no choice—both attaining a Divine Position and a Divine Domain was too difficult; under current circumstances, it was all but impossible!

Although even the Divine Position was extremely hard, at least with diligent effort, there still remained some chance and hope. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Xiaoqing's new Divine Position was Thunder God. As for why such an ostensibly irrelevant choice, it was because Xiaoqing's innate attribute was the Wood Element.

Xun and Zhen both belong to Wood; Wind is Yin of Wood, Thunder is Yang of Wood!

Thus, tracing his origins, Xiaoqing could indeed comprehend the Thunder Law and ultimately refine a Thunder God Divine Position.

Though the difficulty was great, years of hard work had finally allowed him to glimpse a hope of success.

On the other hand, Cang's chosen path was entirely different. He sought a Divine Position closely related to Water God, and settled on the Rain God Divine Position.

This was not only because their domains of authority were similar and thus more easily comprehended, but also because Cang's Dragon Tribe heritage was perfectly matched with the Rain God!

With these two advantages, Cang naturally would not make the foolish choice of seeking distant results over near at hand opportunities.

For both Xiaoqing and Cang, the Divine Position did not require being particularly profound or powerful, for standing at the verge of breakthrough, all they needed was a chance to shatter their shackles.

This was not a harvest reaped only from their near-thousand years of cultivation, but the culmination of countless years of patient effort—now finally about to bear fruit.

If nothing unexpected occurred, then within two or three millennia, the Li family would gain two more Heavenly Immortal Realm Divines!

Apart from these two major events, there was also the family's continual development in recent years, such as acquiring several more Earth Immortals and notable gains in Spiritual Objects and so forth.

Among these, there was one matter especially worthy of note: over these years, the family had not abandoned the search for new Middle Thousand Worlds, yet they had found nothing for centuries.

It was only a few decades ago that the Li family's luck suddenly shifted, and they discovered an entirely new Middle Thousand World.

And just recently, the family dispatched another army of cultivators into it. With help from the previous group who had already established a foothold, they began a gradual conquest.

This conquest was not as urgent as the last time, so the family now had ample time to lay out their plans. Nor did they blindly slaughter the natives, but tried approaches such as division, bribery, sowing discord, and the like.

"Looking at it this way, the family's development in recent years has been quite good, quite rapid, too." Li Zhirui nodded contentedly.

Compared to the clan's calm progression, the Primal Spirit Realm was far more turbulent and chaotic.

The Western Continent was still locked in a great war; Demonic Tao and the Ghost Clan's battle with the Sea Clan was yet to end.

The Sea Clan, especially, after being schemed against by the Demonic Tao and having the Sea Eye polluted, threw in even more power to retaliate, driving the Demonic Tao into repeated defeats and utter disarray.

It's said that the Demonic Tao had already sent envoys to the East Continent in search of Immortal Tao's aid. As for details, the family's strength was insufficient and Kunlun State was extremely distant, so for now all was unclear.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Domain, the Devil Race's strength for some reason increased greatly; they even began to counterattack the Human Dao and seized some territory back from the latter.

Note that in the countless years of struggle between the Devil Race and the Human Dao, such situations were exceedingly rare. Only during the earliest period, when the Human Dao's footing was still unstable, had the Devil Race gained the upper hand on the battlefield.
