Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1050: Chapter 994: Opposition

Observing the fluctuations of spiritual energy around the Cave Mansion, Li Zhirui speculated that Da Qing and Shen had likely completed dispersing their cultivation and were steadily restoring their Cultivation.

He did not concoct Precious Pills for them to increase Mana, only those to heal injuries and strengthen meridians, aiding in their dispersion of cultivation.

The purpose of doing this was simple: he wished for both of them to have a better foundation!

A skyscraper rises from the ground; for Cultivators, the more solid the foundation, the smoother and broader the path ahead.

To disperse one’s cultivation and start anew was a great opportunity!

When they first started cultivating, with only a half-hearted understanding, crossing the river by feeling the stones, there seemed to be no issues, but ultimately some regrets were left behind.

Now, starting over from a higher Realm, with such an impeccable opportunity, naturally one cannot miss it.

When Li Zhirui had once rebuilt his cultivation, although he hastened the recovery of his Cultivation by refining various Precious Pills, he also tried to remedy any small flaws and issues as much as possible.

Regrettably, at that time, he was besieged and couldn’t achieve the best, which became a lingering regret in his heart.

Hence, Li Zhirui had very strict requirements for Da Qing and Shen’s re-cultivation, hoping they would not miss a grand opportunity to solidify their foundation like he did because of various reasons.

Seeing that there were no issues with the two’s Cultivation, Li Zhirui then left at ease.

——

Soon after assuming his role, the new Clan Leader Li Xunda publicized the revised Earth Spirit Tao Record, causing a huge upheaval within the Li family.

Of course, this announcement merely mentioned that certain issues were improved, without revealing a single word of the actual Methods!

Moreover, to obtain the Qiao Acupoint World Method, a Dao Oath, Demon Oath, and Soul Jade Slip were required to ensure the news would not be leaked.

Even Xiaoqing and others who received the Cultivation Technique early from Li Zhirui had to meet these various restrictions before he agreed to let them review the Method.

There was no other way, considering the sheer boost to strength provided by the Earth Spirit Tao Record was too significant!

Even a Cultivator who just achieved Divine Transformation, under the blessings of a paradisiacal land, could match the combat power of a seasoned early-stage Divine Transformation Cultivator, and if the Spirit Seed grade was high enough, could even compete with a mid-stage Divine Transformation Cultivator.

Once the news was leaked, who knew how many predators and adversaries would come snooping, even attacking! With the Li family’s current strength, they simply could not withstand such an immense pressure.

Therefore, the Li family was exceedingly cautious.

Indeed, most of the family members were not very familiar with the Earth Spirit Tao Record, only knowing that it was an Inheritance Skill on par with the Wanling Sutra.

Thus, some Cultivators with low Cultivation or poor aptitude did not pay much attention to this news, but those in Divine Transformation, Void Refinement, and those aspiring to break through higher Realms, paid extra attention.

They approached Li Xunda immediately, wanting to exchange for the modified Earth Spirit Tao Record.

Of course, it wouldn’t be the complete version, and some family members could only exchange for the Techniques of the initial Realms due to the exorbitant price.

The Technique was deemed too important; although stored at the highest level of the Scripture Pavilion, Li Xunda decreed that the exchange required both his and the transmission elder’s Tokens.

During this process, the new Clan Leader quickly established his authority and solidified his position, making it more convenient for him to implement his policies going forward.

Those family members who saw the modified Techniques were greatly moved, wishing they could start recultivating on the spot, for who wouldn’t want to possess a more potent combat power?

While for a Cultivator, the most important thing is the Dao Heart, followed by the Realm, then the Cultivation and combat power.

But without formidable combat power, there is no chance of surviving in the cutthroat world of Cultivation! Without life to speak of, how can one pursue the Dao Heart, the Realm?

Not to mention, the Earth Spirit Tao Record is an Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique, tempered over tens of thousands of years. Although they were unaware of this fact, they could still discern that this Method was not inferior to the Wanling Sutra in most respects.

Understand that for some family members with better aptitude and higher aspirations, the Spirit Beasts contracted through the Wanling Sutra had become stumbling blocks on their path forward!

Even though the Li family exhausted vast manpower, material resources, and finances to improve the Spirit Beasts’ grades, the results have not been very fulfilling!

Breeding Spirit Beasts is not as if the offspring will certainly be of the same grade if the last generation was of the seventh grade; if lucky, there might be bloodline reversions raising their grade, but that’s a small chance occurrence.

Generally, there is bound to be some weakening in the bloodline as it is passed down. In severe cases, there might even be a decline.

Particularly with the aging of the Spirit Beasts and an increase in breeding numbers, the weakening of the offspring’s bloodline becomes more pronounced.

Therefore, even though the Li family would like to satisfy all the family members with good aptitude to contract high-grade Spirit Beasts, it is simply impossible.

Not to mention that the breakthrough of Contracted Spirit Beasts’ Realms is not always successful; there are many cases within the Li family where the Spirit Beasts failed their Tribulation Transcendence. With some luck, the Spirit Beast might survive, but the odds are high that it perishes under the Thunder Tribulation.

Once a Contracted Spirit Beast dies, the Cultivator’s Spiritual Soul sustains fundamental damage, hindering any improvement in their Realm forever!

Comparing these two, what is there to hesitate about?

And was the Wanling Sutra really as inadequate as they said? How could that be possible!
