Chapter 1067 - 1067 1002 Harvest_2

Chapter 1067: Chapter 1002: Harvest_2 Chapter 1067: Chapter 1002: Harvest_2 Boom—

Li Zhirui was not an Array Master; naturally, he could not employ the subtly analyzed methods that create little disturbance. He could only break through with brute force, which produced a sizeable noise.

Such a loud commotion attracted many cultivators nearby.

And when they saw the mountains full of Spiritual Objects, the avarice in their eyes immediately took over their beings. Finders keepers – they had no intention to leave, after all, harvesting these Spiritual Objects was much safer and easier than slaughtering Devil Beasts.

Li Zhirui frowned but said nothing. The Formation had not yet been broken, and there was no need to drive away the others. It was most crucial to quickly unlock the Great Array.

Under the temporary united effort of a large number of cultivators, the Formation was eventually breached.

A vast amount of Spiritual Objects lay before them, many Devil Beasts could not restrain their greed and pounced towards those precious Spiritual Objects in an instant.

Bang!

But before they could get close, they were thrown out by several Spirit Vines that appeared out of thin air.

This was naturally Li Zhirui’s doing.

He could allow these cultivators to gather some Spiritual Objects, but the precious ones had nothing to do with them—no need to waste their vitality on irrelevant matters.

Moreover, Li Zhirui was not one to be soft or lenient. His first move was only meant to teach those few cultivators a lesson. If they still didn’t learn, his patience was limited; next time, he would not resort to such methods!

Still, there were various problems.

For instance, although Li Zhirui’s cultivation was indeed not low, there were Lianxu Cultivators among the crowd. They felt that the gap between their strength and Li Zhirui’s was not significant, and those high-grade Spiritual Objects should not be monopolized by him alone!

Thus, they spoke aloud: “Fellow Daoist, this Spirit Mountain is not your territory. Why be so domineering? You should know that we also exerted considerable effort in breaking the Formation; what you’re doing is not right.”

“That’s right! That’s right! You can’t be so selfish!”

Seeing that some cultivators took the lead, others naturally echoed behind. They didn’t want to offend the Li family,

with a simple goal in mind—to pressure Li Zhirui into yielding so they could get more Spiritual Objects themselves.

Unfortunately, they were using the wrong tactic with the wrong person, for Li Zhirui didn’t take their bait.

“I’ll say this one last time: all high-grade Spiritual Objects are mine, and as for the rest—given you’ve contributed some effort—divide them amongst yourselves!” Li Zhirui said with an even tone.

“Why?!”

“You’re just a Lianxu Cultivator yourself; where do you get the confidence to confront so many fellow daoists?”

Words like an ultimatum also angered a few Lianxu Cultivators, but instead of confronting him themselves, they signaled a group of Divine Transformation Cultivators to make noise.

Boom!

Li Zhirui said no more, merely unleashing his full oppressive force.

Powerful! Unparalleled strength! No match for him!

This was the consensus of all Lianxu Cultivators present; most of them lost their courage to face Li Zhirui in combat.

Yet, some remained unconvinced, believing that no matter how formidable Li Zhirui was, he was only one person and could not defeat their joint forces.

“I gave you the last chance. Since you don’t cherish it, don’t blame me for disregarding the comradery among fellow daoists!”

Li Zhirui’s expression remained unchanged; in his view, these people hardly qualified as worthy opponents.

With a flash of azure light, a massive orb of light appeared mid-air, then transformed into a strange grove—this was Li Zhirui’s Life-bound Magic Treasure, Thousand Spirits!

Countless roots from Thousand Spirits burst forth, its sharp leaves whirling everywhere, carrying a roaring sound, selectively attacking the cultivators.

Those cultivators naturally wouldn’t just stand idly to be captured; feeling the pressure upon them, they all used their methods to counter this attack that seemed ordinary at first glance.

Crack—

A Lianxu Cultivator’s Defensive Spiritual Light, under the onslaught of myriad bamboo leaves, lasted only a few breaths before dissipating into Spirit Light.

Regrettably, their power was far inferior to that of Li Zhirui; even joining forces, they stood no chance, their faces extremely unsightly.

In merely a quarter of an hour, they had fully recognized the reality— that even as Lianxu Cultivators, they were no match for Li Zhirui.

In this situation, they lost the courage to contend with Li Zhirui, each of them bowed their heads in acknowledgement of their errors, daring not to compete with Li Zhirui for Spiritual Objects any longer, and so did the other Cultivators.

The formidable power made everyone behave, obediently following Li Zhirui’s orders, without the slightest defiance.

“Terrifying! How can a fellow Lianxu Cultivator effortlessly defeat opponents, and even a combined squad at that?”

“Do you know who this person is? How can someone with such tremendous strength remain so obscure within the Shanyuan State?”

Many Cultivators were curious about Li Zhirui’s identity, but what they didn’t know was that he had long been prepared with a disguised identity.

In his current appearance, it was absolutely impossible for them to find Li Zhirui.

As for Li Zhirui, he didn’t have the energy to concern himself with those Cultivators’ opinions of him, because it simply didn’t matter.

After all, following this occasion, who knows when they might see each other again, and by then, he would certainly not look the same.

As for his Life-bound Magic Treasure Thousand Spirits he revealed, there was nothing to worry about, for he rarely used his Life-bound Magic Treasure in battle.

The reason was simple; with Li Zhirui’s tremendous strength, immense Mana, and the boost from Cave Heaven, he didn’t need any other methods to augment his power in a major battle.

He had absolute confidence in this; the majority of Lianxu were no longer his match.

Li Zhirui was currently using his powerful Divine Sense to search for precious high-grade Spiritual Objects within Spirit Mountain, to then transplant them into his space.

It didn’t take long for Li Zhirui to finish, and then without hesitation, he transformed into Spirit Light and left.

As for the remaining Spiritual Objects, how that group of Cultivators would divvy them up had nothing to do with Li Zhirui. He was now heading towards Spirit Mountain, mentioned by the mouth of that sixth-order Devil Beast.

Unfortunately, he was not so lucky this time; Spirit Mountain had already been ravaged! Whatever Spiritual Objects of value had been taken away.

“I wonder how the other Spirit Mountains are doing?” Li Zhirui continued on his way.

However, after another fruitless visit to the third Spirit Mountain, he abandoned the act of seeking out more Spirit Mountains.

Li Zhirui understood in his heart; the first time was an exception, the subsequent attempts were the real situation. After all, would those Devil Beasts, having left earlier, not covet those Spiritual Objects?

“It’s all down to luck now.”

In fact, Li Zhirui was quite satisfied with his haul, having acquired several varieties of valuable Spiritual Objects, so he wasn’t overly concerned about whether there would be unexpected gains.

“What a pity, so many fine Spirit Mountains and Spirit Lands are going to fall into the hands of the Zhang Family.” Li Zhirui sighed, speaking with considerable regret.

After that initial sneak attack, he had not engaged with high-order Devil Beasts again because it was impossible to find such existences in the mountain ranges.

Those high-order Devil Beasts weren’t fools; seeing the unfavorable situation, they would invariably flee to not only preserve their own lives but also their kin.

During this time, Li Zhirui visited many places in the mountains, where he also saw a Spirit Vein that stretched for tens of miles, rumored to be of the seventh order and on the verge of advancing to the eighth order.

Moreover, within the Devil Race’s territory, there were two Spirit Mountains that were only slightly inferior.

The thought of all these treasures soon falling into the hands of the Zhang Family made Li Zhirui’s heart uncomfortable, for he originally intended to expand the Li family in this direction and subconsciously regarded the mountains as his family’s territory.

Furthermore, the regret over these premium Spirit Lands being out of reach naturally led to some negative emotions.

Dwelling on this matter was futile and it was impossible to meddle, as that would only bring disaster to his family. After venting his feelings, Li Zhirui put the thought aside.

Taking advantage of the Zhang Family not yet occupying the mountains, he sought out more high-grade Spiritual Objects.
